Here are the final battles folks. Lets see who survives. The main battles are Percy vs. Raphael, Chaos vs. Chronos, and Colonel Timothy vs. The Herald. Review.

Percy POV:

I created an earthquake to try and knock Raphael off his feet. Instead he just flew into the air, making me create six ice spears. I threw them at him, four missed but two managed to scratch him. He did a dive right at me so I raised Riptide to counter his attack.

Our weapons collided and we were at a stand still. While trying to get an edge at me Raphael said, "You fight a lost cause Percy."

I just responded, "You once fought for that cause too."

We stepped back from one another. I activated my shield and charged at him. He swung his mace at me, but I ducked just in time. I smacked him with the shield. I was going to stab him but he grabbed my arm and threw me against a car.

He lunged at me and bringing down his sword. I moved out of the way and managed to slash his right arm a little. Then Raphael did a spin, expanding his wings so he could slash me with them.

I jumped in the air and landed behind him and tried to stab him with my hidden ice blades. I managed to stab him in the side, the other blade missed. All of a sudden he grabbed my face while yelling, "I did once, until I saw the truth. If you keep fighting for Chaos you will never win."

He threw me back a couple of feet away from him. As I got up he was pointing his sword at me, energy filling up inside.

"Join the Olympians in extinction!" He yelled and fired.

I created a wall of water from a fire hydrant. It collided with the blast and created a huge explosion between us.

I used it as an opportunity to attack. I concentrated on having wind gather around my feet. Then I leapt and tackled Raphael, pulling out Riptide at the same time.

Our blades clashed against each other again. This time, Raphael took flight and tried to find an opening. Then he did a fast dived bomb while spinning. I just barely got out of the way, and turned around only to see him lunge at me again.

Colonel Timothy POV:

"Keep your eyes on him, don't stop." I ordered.

"Sir, we have to conserve ammunition." Said a gunner.

"Sir all nearby friendly are engaged, they can't help us." Reported the communication man.

"Copy that. Don't fire unless you're able too or have a clean shot. Keep your eyes open. And don't bring us to close to the city buildings. This plane wasn't made for maneuvering."

We were still chasing after this being who calls himself the herald. His dragon kept moving in different directions it was getting hard to keep up.

I would just ignore him for now, but someone who could take down two Olympians easily was someone I couldn't allow to live.

I spotted him going up higher. I told the pilot to lean a little to the side so the gunners could get a shot. But he dived back down so fast and close we nearly lost balance.

"Stabilize, stabilize!" I kept shouting. Once we were finally balanced again I asked, "Damage report?"

"We seem to be find. We lost some parts of the right wing though." Said an engineer.

Dammit. "Keep us in the air, but fly carefully. Keep tailing him, don't let him out of your sights."

Chaos POV:

We were still fighting, but I felt that Chronos was beginning to slack. He kept blasting waves of energy or throwing objects at me, all of them I blocked or deflected.

I sent a wave of gravity at him pushing him against the wall, crushing him slowly. He managed to break free but was trying to recover.

I used that opening and did a three flips in mid air. Then I brought my sword, filled with energy down on him. But he brought his mace up just in time.

The impact created a huge explosion, knocking us both out of the Cathedral. I got up, my sword in my hand, looking for my opponent.

All of a sudden I felt something. I raised my sword and heard a clang noise. Chronos must be accelerating time on himself, so he can go faster.

I held my sword in a defense position, ready for anything. I sensed him coming at me so I moved to the side. I jumped into the air when he came at me again. I managed to block an attack and almost touched him.

I finally had enough of his tricks. So when he was close enough, I slammed my fist down on the ground, creating a shockwave. It sent him flying and making him visible.

He got up with an annoyance all over his face.

"Now then Chronos" I said tauntingly. "Lets see if you can beat me without using your powers. Or are you all talk and nothing more?"

His annoyance turned into anger as he grabbed his mace and leapt towards me.

Eric POV:

Sam, Olmo, Jared and I were hiding behind a bus while Bohrok was busy looking for us by smashing everything in his way.

"Those weapons of his are stopping us from getting close enough too attack him. What should we do?"

I looked at our surrounding a came up with a plan. Olmo and Jared would sneak into one of the buildings. When the time was right they would jump onto his face. Then while distracted, Sam will tackle him, sending him down onto the ground.

We executed the plan. Sam used his Cyclops strength to lift the bus up, and chuck it at Bohrok. The huge Vanguard saw this, and smacked it to the side with his flail (A/N: If you read the description in chapter 28 then you'll see its like a flail).

I used my brass knuckles to deflect any incoming projectiles while trying to get near him. Then I heard a battle cry as I saw Olmo and Jared jump out of a window right on Bohrok's face. As the giant was trying to get them off his face, Sam slammed into his chest, sending him to the ground.

I climbed on top of a truck that was close to them. "Now!" I yelled and I jumped into the air as they got off of him.

I slammed my fists right into his chest, while creating a sonic boom at the same time. The impact was so strong that it crushed his armor and maybe his chest. I was guessing he was dead because his body went limped.

"Okay." I said breathlessly. "He's…. definitely dead. Now lets go help the others."

Joe POV:

We had taken cover behind some cars. The snake vanguard had already taken down Adriana, four of those Hunters (those girls never were good at close combat if you ask me), and right now had Armar trapped in his tail.

I could tell that Emily desperately wanted to get away from this fight and look for Arthur. Trust me, I wanted to do the same. But if we didn't kill this guy now, then we would never find Arthur.

So we decided to use a team move to finish him off. I threw two flash bombs, blinding him.

While he was covering his eyes and waving his spear wildly, Emily and Ben ran towards his sides. Then they fired arrows with rope attach to them, and then they magically wrapped around his arms. The two archers began to pull, trying to prevent him from escaping. Armar, who was now free of the tail, grabbed it and kept a firm grip on it.

But the enemy was strong and would have pulled on them if Artemis and her hunters hadn't fired arrows that kept inflicting pain on him. Also Nico summoned dozen of skeleton warriors to help Ben and Emily pull on the ropes.

While they were doing that, CJ and I were running towards a car. We jumped off the car raising our weapons high, ready to bring them down on the snake warriors head.

But he saw us and opened his mouth, and we couldn't stop our attack. Then all of a sudden, a sword came out of nowhere. It impaled so hard in the snake's chin that his mouth shut automatically.

CJ and I slammed his sword and my mace down on his head hard. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and blood started to come out of his mouth.

The others ran up to us to inspect our work. Ben said. "Well he's finally dead. I wonder who threw that sword?"

I pulled the sword out of the body and looked at it. When I finally saw the whole thing my eyes widen. "This is…"

Suddenly there was a noise behind us. We all turned with our weapons ready. But it wasn't a monster, it was…

"Arthur!" Emily shouted with look of relief on her face, but quickly turned into worry.

Our boss was limping towards us and his clothes were torn and dirty. He had bruises all over him. His right hand was covering the wound on his chest he received from Raphael.

He was about to collapse when, surprisingly; Artemis caught him and laid him against a car. She ordered everyone else to keep an eye out and check on the others while Ben, Emily, CJ and I ran up to them.

Ben and Emily, both being children of Apollo the God of Medicine, carefully removed his hands to see the wound. It appeared to have healed already. The hole was closed up but it still looked pretty bad.

"He must have put the wound into water to heal it, an ability from his father." Said Artemis (A/N: Arthur's father, Orion, is a son of Poseidon so he it would make sense that he could use some of his powers).

Ben took a look at it. "It isn't as bad now, but it might open again or get infected if we don't treat it right now." As he and Emily got to work.

CJ kept starring at Arthur's mom. The goddess looked like she was having an argument with herself and she kept staring at her son.

"You want to talk to him, don't you?" asked CJ.

Artemis looked at him. She hesitated before saying, "Yes I would, a private talk really. I feel terrible for abandoning him and forgetting him. I want to work things out with him."

CJ turned and looked at me, his gaze asking if it was okay. I guess since I was the oldest out of the four of us that made me second in command. I sighed and said.

"I don't know if you deserve it." I said to Artemis. "But we might as well give you a chance. For Arthur's sake."

Thea POV:

Okay things were not going so well. We had managed to kill at least a dozen of Gazlus, but one managed to kill a trooper and I didn't know how much strength we had left.

I just fried another one when I heard a louder screech from above. It was Starcan, his arms wide opened to attack. He landed between two of my troopers.

They fired on him, but he just stabbed them with his metal claws and tossed them aside. He saw me and was about to release a sonic blast and I was too tired to fire another fireball. Just before he fired a sword came out of nowhere and stabbed him in the shoulder. He yelled out shit, pulled the sword out and flew away. I turned around and to my relief and joy I saw Ed walking towards us, a little beaten up but okay.

My remaining trooper ran up to us, while reloading his weapon. But from the sky was another Gazlu heading right towards us. It would have mauled the trooper when out of nowhere again, two shurikens impaled themselves into it's head.

It was Tristan, followed by four other knights. He had an eye patch over his destroyed eye, but looked pretty much happy to see us.

"I heard those things screaming more then I saw them. Good thing we got here just in time. What's the status?"

I, after helping Ed lay down said, "Raphael is here, along with some other vanguards. I don't know where Annabeth and her brothers are, but they have the blade and I think there almost to the defense circle."

Tristan let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. But against someone like Raphael, I don't know if the defense circle will be enough."

Colonel Timothy POV:

We were still chasing this tin head menace all the way towards the battlefield. Seeing the situation below, an idea formed in my head.

"Pilot, what's in front of us at the bottom?"

"It appears to be the enemy forces sir. Looks like the target is trying to get to the safety of his friends."

I smiled. "Okay, take the plane a little bit higher and fire all missiles. Hit or miss, we'll take out a good number of the enemy forces."

"Yes sir, changing altitude." Replied the pilot.

"Inform Maxwell to make no advance yet. Be prepared for bombardment." I told the communication man.

"Roger that."

We got a little bit higher until the whole army was in view.

"Gunners, lock on all targets and unleash a barrage of hell onto them." I ordered.

"Roger that, preparing to fire in three, two, one."

Out of nowhere, there was an explosion inside the plane. There was smoke coming inside the plane and I could see it outside, through the window.

"Pilot (cough) what the hell happened?"

The remaining pilot, the other was killed by the explosion, responded, "I don't know sir! It looks like the wires for the engine and the missile launcher were all mixed up. I'm having trouble keeping her in the air."

How the hell did that…the spy, I said to myself. He must have sabotaged the plane.

Cursing myself, I ordered, "Forget about the attack. Land us somewhere safe. Radio man, contact some escorts to help us land safely."

"I'm trying sir." Said the radioman. "But ether the comm. are destroyed by the explosions, or something jamming us."

"Keep trying. Focus on landing this thing pilot. I'm going to go back and look for survivors."

I was only half way there when I heard a roar. The Herald's dragon came at us from the front and breathed fire at the front of the plane. The flame, mixed with the sparked controls, created a small explosion, with the impact killing the pilot and the radioman.

I ran back to the controls, except there was really nothing left to control. The engine was nearly dead, the inside was smoking, fire was coming from the wings and I actually felt myself bleeding a little.

"If I'm going down, I'll go down the way I want too." I said, turning this thing called a plane straight towards the enemy lines.

Major Sergeant Mike POV:

I shot down three more Saxons before Riggs came up to me. We, along with Dan, DS, Bar, Tips and newest member Squad 12, Phantom, were up in the front lines, protected by destroyed cars and tanks.

"Mike." Riggs said his voice sounded like what he was about to say was bad. "I've just heard that Twist and Gears have been KIA."

My heart sank as I heard that two more of my men have been killed. But my grief is forgotten as I spot something coming from the sky.

It was Colonel Timothy's AC-130. It was on fire and plummeting towards the enemy forces. When it finally crashed and created a huge explosion killing many of the hostiles.

I just realized we lost our best commander when Lt. Colonel Maxwell called in. "All forces. The enemy is confused and weakens. Push forward; do not let the Colonel's sacrifice be in vain."

We did as he said and charged screaming. As we charged, I looked up and saw the armored warrior that the Colonel was fighting. I was about to call for an attack on him when he suddenly turned around and flew away from the island.

Now why did he leave his allies to die?

Chaos POV:

I jumped away from another car heading towards me. Chronos took the high ground on a building and was throwing objects at me while laughing wildly.

I lost my balance as a mailbox nearly crashed into me. I felt tired of dodging, time for me to end this.

I deactivated my sword and put it back onto my waist. Chronos threw another car at me. But this time I caught it, trapping it in a sphere in mid air. Slowly I spun it around and around. Then I spun it fast until I threw it right back at him.

The god of time scowled and jumped onto a smaller nearby building. I jumped there too landing next to him and activating my sword.

But he knocked it out of my hand with my mace and charged me. So I fired lighting from my hands at him. But he was using his mace to hold it back and get closer to me.

It was a standstill until, finally having enough of this, pooled in more power into my attack. The result was a wave that sent us both back. I managed to stop myself and then ran towards the edge of the building. I saw Chronos on the ground, groaning in pain.

Seeing an opening, I summoned my sword to my hand and landed on the pavement. Then I leapt into the air and brought my blade right onto Chronos chest.

His skin started to pale as he felt himself being drained. "What…what have you done?"

I looked at him emotionlessly. "This weapon was designed by me with my own essence. Created to specifically to capture you and the other Primordial Gods. You see the two glowing symbols?" I pointed the two out of the 13 on the blade. "It means two others have already been sealed into this blade, Gaia and Ouranos are in here. Yours and Eros shall soon join."

"I…impossible." Said Chronos. "Any weapon that has been infused with your essence can only hold one immortal."

I merely shook my head. "As I said, I personally forged this sword entirely with my own essence."

His eyes close as his body turned into light and was sucked into the sword. I looked at it and another symbol began to glow.

Annabeth POV:

We were only ten blocks away from our destination because Mrs. O'Leary was too exhausted to shadow travel anymore. All of a sudden I heard a buzzing noise.

Coming at us was some kind of giant hybrid bug human. It resembled mostly a bee, with its color being yellow. It had four wings, two big ones pointing up and two little ones under them. It had two giant toes on it. It also had two fingers, excluding the thumb. It didn't have a stinger like bees do, but it did have three holes sticking out of both arms, like some kind of arm guns. From what I could tell it was 1 meter tall.

"It's Waisting!" Shouted Mathew, who had his crossbow out.

The being known as Waisting landed right in front of me, knocking me down and the vault rolling to the side. Mrs. O'Leary tried to pounce him, but he knocked her aside.

Mathew and Bobby attacked him but the vanguard starting shooting tiny needles from the holes in his arms. Bobby used his shield to defend while Mather went on offense with his cross bow. But not even that seemed to bother the attacker.

I saw my knife on the ground next to me. I made a grab for it, but when I touched the hilt, Waisting put his foot on it, making it impossible for me to move it.

I looked up and saw the guns on his arm turned into two bigger guns and fired even bigger needles. When they hit my brothers, they knocked them back a couple of feet.

I kept tugging at my knife but the blade broke off. I just froze disbelief as I looked at the remains. I couldn't believe that the knife, the one Luke gave me when we first met, the knife that I've always fought with, the knife that I've used to turn monsters into the dust, the knife that Luke used to destroy Kronos was ruined.

My thoughts were cut off and Waisting pointed his arm gun at me. The two holes turned into one big one.

Before he fired, Mathew shouted, "Annabeth!" who was trying to get up.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Waisting lowed his weapon and took off; he didn't even take the vault.

I just stared at him, trying to figure out what just happened.

Eric POV:

We finally spotted everyone else. I saw some hunters, Nico and Armar help the wounded. The rest were helping Arthur and I saw Thea, a trooper and to my surprise Ed, Tristan and some other knights.

We waved at them until we heard sound behind us. The others had looks of horror as they looked in our direction. Behind us was Bohrok, a little shaken up but alive nonetheless.

He raised his weapon at us and was about to swing it when all of a sudden he stopped. He froze and seemed to space out, like he was thinking of something.

Then he turned around and left, with us staring at him with clueless expressions.

Percy POV:

I turned the ground into ice, making Raphael trip. But he managed to do a flip in mid air and regain his balance. He flew at me again but I deflected his attack.

We were about to go at it again when I saw something come from the direction that Annabeth and the others went. It was Waisting, the vanguard mad scientist.

Fear gripped my heart as I visualized a dead Annabeth and Waisting with the blade. But instead his hand revealed nothing as he flew beside his commander.

He then whispered something into Raphael's ear, whose eyes widen and then nodded in satisfaction. He then turned to me and said.

"I would love to stay longer Percy, but it appears my mission is complete. I'll see you again." He then took to the air and flew away with Waisting and now Starcan following him.

I would have gone after them but my concern for Annabeth overpowered that desire. Quickly I moisture traveled towards where she should be.

I arrived at the defense circle to see a beaten but a still very much alive Annabeth, along with her brothers and Mrs. O'Leary. We embraced each other and gave a quick kiss.

When I asked what happened she explained about Waisting attacking them, breaking her knife then leaving without taking the blade.

I admit I was happy she was all right, but I felt uneasy. If they weren't after the blade, what were they after?

Dun, dun, dun, dun! Review and only two more chapters left.
