Hi readers! Sorry for the slight delay on the update, I couldn't decide how to end this chapter.

And the ending is still rubbish.

Anyway, I don't own any of the characters.

Annabeth

No, no, no, no, NO!

The darkness. Of Tartarus. Memories came flying back.

"PERCY!" I shouted, "PERCY!"

I heard a faint- "Annabeth! Percy!" from Thalia. But I couldn't see her, or Percy, or anything. Only the purest blackness.

I wanted to get out. Quickly. Before I lost my mind.

I screamed in frustration, and then I heard Percy's Voice.

"ANNABETH!" He shouted.

"PERCY!" I shouted back, and ran to nowhere. But I didn't reach anywhere. My eyes started to water, and I started to cry.

I fell to the ground, and I was about to give up when I heard Percy's voice again.

"DON'T GIVE UP!" he shouted. Yes, I shouldn't give up.

I will not fall because of darkness around me.

This is not Tartarus. This is just a shadow chamber created by Tartarus.

So… There must be shadow walls somewhere around me. I got my dagger out and swung it around me, until I hit something. I touched it, and it was a curved wall.

I punched the wall of shadows, and stabbed it with my dagger. "BREAK!" I screamed, and used my full strength to stab the wall again.

Then I saw slight beam of light slither through the point I stabbed.

I kept on stabbing it and the crack of light became bigger and bigger.

And when a cracked a mini hole on the wall, I stabbed the wall on the point of the hole very hard, and then the hole chamber of shadows around me shattered.

Then I saw light, and Percy's chamber shattering as well.

"PERCY!" I shouted, and ran to him, then kissed him.

"HOW?!" Tartarus shouted, and I looked around me.

Chaos was free and the Argo was nowhere to be found.

"You Idiot! You can't even sustain that?" Chaos scolded Tartarus, "I shall deal with the demigods!"

"Uh, NO!" Tartarus said, "These two are mine!"

"You couldn't deal with them just now! So I shall deal with these demigods!" Chaos said, turning into his smoke-like form, "I shall make them into nothingness!"

"NO! I want them to suffer! Not die!" Tartarus said, annoyed.

Us demigods and magicians exchanged glances to each other, and they all made their ways to Percy and I.

"Are you guys okay?" Piper asked worriedly.

"We're fine," I whispered, "And is Chaos and Tartarus… fighting?"

I looked at the two, and they were still having an argument.

"Argh, you couldn't handle them alone!" Tartarus retorted.

"Neither could you back in Tartarus!" Chaos shouted, "And that was just two of them!"

"HAH!" Tartarus said, and swung his fist at Chaos, who dodged "Then let's see who is stronger!"

"I accept," Chaos said.

I guessed that Chaos will be the one to win, as just one touch from him can make a being disappear from existence.

And I was right, Chaos covered up Tartarus in a ball of smoke like he covered up the Argo, and I saw Tartarus' arm poke out of it, along with a roar. And I saw Tartarus' arm become gold dust straight away.

Chaos kept on making the space inside the ball smaller, making Tartarus slowly disappear.

Soon, Chaos flew to the side, and all we could see on the spot where Tartarus previously stood was a pile of gold dust.

Why didn't he just become nothing? I am guessing it's because as long as Tartars the place exists, Tartarus the Primordial exists.

Chaos laughed hysterically, and became his mortal form, "AHAHHAHA!" He laughed, "I am stronger, I am the strongest! Now I shall-"

Sadie took the opportunity to trap Chaos again, and locked up Chaos in a shield again.

"What? No!" Chaos shouted, "NO!" he made his arm become the mist-like arm, to see if he can phase through, but he couldn't.

"You just took out Tartarus for us," Alex said, "Thanks."

"No, this is not happening!" Chaos said, "I can not fail!"

"You just did," Percy said, "And… do you know who is possessing Walt?"

"Ah… interrogation, I see," Chaos said.

"Are you going to tell us or what?" Thalia said impatiently.

"Well, nothing's in for me now," Chaos said, "The god inside that boy is Serket."

"What, that goddess that became a part of Isis?" Sadie asked.

"Yes, yes, but she separated herself from Isis, and that stupid goddess didn;t even notice," Chaos said, "Now she is Serket herself, protector of the dead, protector of Apep- or Apophis in Greek."

"She- she is supposed to be good isn't she? I mean, the protector of Apep, yes, but she used to cure poison," Carter said.

"I will say no more," Chaos said.

—

Nico (I know it's Nico again, but I need his POV to do this)

"Okay then, now open your portal to Tartarus, Nico," Jason said.

"I am on it, shut up," I muttered, and focused. I connected to the underworld.

I could feel Anubis helping me, and then this happened: I heard my dad in my head.

'I am not pleased that you are trying this, Nico,' Father said.

'Father?' I said, 'I- I can explain, I just have to put Chaos in.'

'I get it, son, I will help. But this is the only time I shall allow you access Tartarus," Father said, 'I did not like him escaping. And you, Anubis, I do not like you in my son. Get out as soon as you find that Walt boy.'

'I will, I will," Anubis muttered, and I opened my eyes.

Then the entrance to Tartarus open.

"Thank you, Father," I said into the air.

"Nico! You did it!" Hazel said, "Now let's put this guy in!"

"On it!" Sadie said, and she started to move the cage-sheild to the hole.

I noticed Percy and Annabeth tensing up, and Piper patting Annabeth on the back, to calm her down.

"I SHALL RETURN! THIS IS NOT THE END! I WILL COME A AGAIN!" Chaos hissed, "I WILL BE BACK!"

"Jeez stop messing up the awesome Termiator quote and get IN!" Leo shouted, and kicked the cage, then the cage with Chaos inside fell into the big hole.

After Chaos went in, the hole's entrance closed immediately.

"Oh, and did Father help?" Hazel asked me, "You said- 'thank you father.'"

"He did," I said, "He says this is the only time that I will access Tartarus."

Hazel nodded, "That's a good idea. Just being near that hole is dangerous."

"I agree," Percy said, "I do not want to see that hole ever again," he hugged Annabeth, "We will not go in again," he added quietly.

"Now… we only have one god- Serket, was it? Left," Blitz said.

"Let's go and kick her butt," Sadie said, "And make her pay for what she has done."

"But first, we need a funeral for the ArgoIII," Leo said, "She was a great flying boat, she is now water, that is soaked in the snow."

"Hold up, if there is no Argo, how would we-?" Percy said, "You know, travel?"

"Eh… how about…" Percy said, and then pointed at the distance, "Them?"

I looked to where he was pointing, and saw a horde of weird-looking pegasi-s (I don't know how to write the plural form of 'Pegasi') flying towards us.

"I guess that's our ride," Annabeth said, "But who sent them?"

Hearth raised his hands, and showed us a rune.

'This rune calls in Norse versions of Pegasi-s. They have eight legs,' he signed.

(I can't remember what they were called, or how many legs they had. It's either 6 or 8.)

"I remember them," Magnus said.

"I too," Alex said, "But prefer this," she turned into one of the Norse Pegasi-s.

"Where too, though?" Jason asked.

"Let's just get out of this mountain range, it's freezing," Piper said, and the mounted the horses.

Annabeth and Percy on one horse, Piper and Jason on one, Hearth, Blitz and Magnus on one, Thalia, Leo and I on another, and Hazel rode on Frank the (Greek)Pegasi.

And of course, the Egyptians rode on another separate horse.

We let the couples ride themselves.

Okay, this is the end of the chapter. I don't know who's POV it's going to be next chapter, but it is coming next week.

I am trying to write long chapters now, because two weeks later, School starts again and I won't be able to write as long.

I just have this person I want to beat in academics, so I am going to study a lot. So yeah, I won't write as much. And just saying, I am a female, a girl.

ANYWAY

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and have a nice day! Or Night! It's day for me!
