A/N - I will be doing PJO and HOO. I'll also be doing Greek Heroes and I've already done Greek Gods. The next book will be Greek Heroes and then I'll start with Heroes of Olympus. :)

Here's my definition of not fun…we would've been chopped to confetti.

Poseidon grimaced.

"I think the whole battle would be the definition of 'not fun.'" Will said.

Percy nodded.

I could hear Rachel screaming inside…My wing, he moaned. It's busted.

Everybody winced in sympathy for Guido.

"Thanks, Rachel." Annabeth said. Rachel smiled.

"You can do it!" I desperately tried to remember what Silena used to tell us in pegasus-riding lessons. "Just relax the wing. Extend it and glide."

Silena and Percy exchanged smiles.

We fell like a rock—straight toward the pavement three hundred feet…Annabeth was at the controls.

Everybody cheered.

"Wow Annabeth. Flying a helicopter is not easy." Leo said approvingly. Annabeth grinned.

"How do you know?" Beckendorf asked.

"Spoilers." Leo grinned.

I ran forward as the rotors spun to a stop…"You saved my life," Rachel said.

"That was one heck of a guess." Piper chuckled.

"I swear." Katie agreed. Annabeth grinned at them.

Annabeth flexed her bad shoulder. "Yeah, well…landed a helicopter, and walked away like it was no big deal.

Everybody snickered.

"She stormed off." Nico corrected

Percy grinned sheepishly.

"It's okay," I told Rachel, though my words sounded hollow…She'd never been to Olympus or Camp Half-Blood.

"That's freaky." Leo said. Apollo winked at Rachel who grinned.

"I've been seeing things too," she muttered…could have helped me figure out what's happening to me."

"Oh Rachel." Apollo sighed and gave her a side hug. Rachel smiled.

She looked at me pleadingly. Her face was sunburned from the beach…In her own way, she was as brave as Annabeth.

Annabeth and Rachel smiled at each other.

But what was happening to her with these visions really freaked…"I don't know." She looked around nervously. "Don't you feel it?"

Silena grimaced. Beckendorf wrapped his arms around her.

"Is that the message you wanted to tell me?"…"Not the hero who defeats Kronos? What do you mean?"

"The prophecy was about you and Luke. You were the half blood of the eldest gods, the one who would see the world in endless sleep and preserve or raze Olympus. Luke was the hero who's soul the cursed blade would reap." Rachel said

Percy nodded.

"I'm…I'm sorry, Percy. That's all I know…Chiron stroked his beard. "Miss Dare…perhaps we should talk."

Hermes grimaced.

"Chiron," I blurted. I had a sudden terrible image of Camp Half-Blood… but this may take some time.

Hermes flinched. Hades grimaced.

Meanwhile, you should rest. We've moved your parents' car…You, Percy, need your rest. You may be our only hope."

"I couldn't take 20 naps a day." Percy shook his head.

"The curse was heavier on Achilles than on you." Chiron said

"I've seen so many text posts about Achilles." Nico snickered

Percy chuckled.

I wanted to complain that I wasn't their only hope…holding his ears while Nico followed him, waving his arms.

Poseidon roared with laughter. The demigods snickered at the mental image.

"You were holding your ears? Are you five?" Poseidon asked his brother in amusement. Hades grumbled and it didn't improve as Hazel and Nico were trying not to laugh.

Demeter and Persephone sat behind them at the breakfast table…"if Olympus falls, your own palace's safety doesn't matter. You'll fade too."

Zeus nodded.

"I am not an Olympian!" he growled. "My family has made that quite clear."

The changing gods grimaced.

"You are," Nico said. "Whether you like it or not."…"Six months behind a plow. Excellent character building."

"Mother." Katie groaned and buried her head in her hands. Demeter was about to launch into a lecture of farming when Nico interrupted her.

"PLEASE NO. Please." He said while mock sobbing hysterically. The demigods snickered. Hades smirked. Demeter glared at Nico.

Nico stepped in front of his father, forcing Hades to face him…"For demigods! I am immortal, all-powerful!

"I think that just means that you have more fatal flaws." Annabeth muttered.

I would not help the other gods if they begged me, if Percy Jackson himself pleaded—"

"I don't think that it would make a difference." Percy said dryly to his uncle.

"Not at the time." Hades agreed.

"You're just as much of an outcast as I am!" Nico yelled… That's the only way they'll respect you!"

The demigods looked at Nico in awe.

"We really are bad influences on him." Percy said to Thalia.

"You more than me." Thalia laughed. Percy and Nico grinned sheepishly.

Hades' palm filled with black fire….other gods would expect from you. Prove them right."

"Damnn Nico." Percy said

"This is all your fault." Nico laughed

"Sure, I'll take that." Percy snickered

"Yes, please," Demeter complained. "Shut him up."

The demigods glared at Demeter.

Persephone sighed. "Oh, I don't know. I would rather fight in the war than eat another bowl of cereal. This is boring."

"Well at least you were siding indirectly with Nico." Jason nodded at Persephone.

Hades roared in anger. His fireball hit a silver tree right next to Nico, melting it into a pool of liquid metal.

Nico and Hades winced.

And my dream changed. I was standing outside the United Nations…Remind me to tear down this building after we destroy Olympus."

"That is not supposed to be funny but it is." Will shook his head. Everybody snickered.

"Yes, lord." Prometheus smiled as if his master's anger amused him…"Don't mock me, Prometheus!

The demigods snickered.

Those cursed centaurs will be sorry they interfered. I will feed them to the hellhounds, starting with that son of mine— that weakling Chiron."

The demigods growled this time, all their amusement vanishing.

Prometheus shrugged. "That weakling destroyed an entire legion of telkhines with his arrows."

"Honestly, I think Prometheus might not be so bad." Frank said. The demigods nodded.

"He seems okay." Lee said

Kronos swung his scythe and cut a flagpole in half…Besides, we know this drakon they cannot beat."

"You wish we couldn't." Clarisse snorted

"It was a little fueled by the death though." Chris said. Silena gave a small smile to Clarisse.

Ethan looked confused. "My lord?" "Never you mind, Nakamura…Kronos snapped his fingers and Ethan collapsed.

"Crap." Leo muttered

"This is dangerous, my lord," Prometheus warned…I will slice Percy Jackson into a thousand pieces."

"In your evil dreams, grandpa." Percy scoffed.

The demigods nodded.

"Thrice you've fought him," Prometheus pointed out…I wonder if your mortal host is influencing you, weakening your judgment."

"Thrice Kronos fought Percy and all the three times Percy matched his close combat skill." Annabeth smiled proudly. Percy blushed and some gods and the demigods looked at him in awe.

"That's insane." Reyna said

"Percy was never sane." Thalia laughed. Percy grinned sheepishly.

Kronos turned his golden eyes on the other Titan…would end up fighting each other rather than the enemy.

The gods grimaced at the situation their children were in.

Chiron trotted up with Rachel on his back… It will be killed by a child of Ares."

Clarisse and Ares smirked.

Annabeth crossed her arms. "How can you possibly know that?"…Maybe we could send another messenger to camp—"

Silena winced. Thalia grimaced.

"Sorry Silena." She said. Silena gave a weak smile.

"I've already done it," Chiron said…"On second thought," Rachel said in a small voice, "I'll be inside."

A few chuckles.

Let me explain: there are dragons, and then there are drakons…but the oh-my-gods-that-big-snake-is-going-to-eat-me type of paralysis, which is just as bad.

The demigods snickered at the end.

"Oh my gods, that big snake is going to eat me!" Piper gasped in an exaggerated way and grinned. Everybody chuckled.

We have drakon-fighting classes at camp…It almost made me long for the flying pig.

The demigods laughed.

"Only Percy can make such a serious thing hilarious." Castor said

"It's a gift." Percy grinned and everybody laughed.

Meanwhile, the enemy army advanced down Fifth Avenue…Rachel to be here, that it wasn't my idea, but we had no time.

Percy and Annabeth grimaced.

"Sorry Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said

"I'm sorry." Percy said. The two of them exchanged smiles.

"Go invisible," I said. "Look for weak links in its armor…kiss that smelled suspiciously of pepperoni pizza.

Everybody chuckled.

I drew my sword and we charged the monster…scratched and growled like a really angry black wig.

"Angry black…wig?" Nico asked hesitantly

Percy grinned sheepishly.

The rest of the battle wasn't going well…It was her turn to save me.

A few people chuckled at the duo.

She tackled me as the monster's teeth snapped above my head… lowered their lances as one—making a bristling wall of death.

The demigods gave light cheers. Ares smirked.

"The children of Ares!" Annabeth said in amazement…No one could say the Ares campers weren't brave.

Ares smiled. Clarisse looked a little guilty.

Clarisse was right there in front, stabbing her spear at the drakon's face…who retreated in a panic, his armor melting

Ares flinched.

"We have to help," Annabeth said…and spit poison directly in her face. She screamed and fell.

"That's not Clarisse. Something is very wrong." Frank said

Silena and Clarisse winced.

"Clarisse!" Annabeth jumped off the monster's back…. But why would someone pretend to be Clarisse?

"Who would pretend to be her?" Hazel asked, confusion evident on her face. Clarisse buried her head in her hands.

I was so stunned, the drakon almost snapped me in half.

Poseidon grimaced.

I dodged and the beast buried its head in a brick wall…Her father, Ares, had worn the same expression when I'd fought him in single combat.

Ares and Clarisse exchanged small smiles.

"YOU WANT DEATH?" Clarisse screamed at the drakon…With no armor or shield, she charged the drakon.

"No armor or shield?" Reyna asked. Clarisse shrugged.

I tried to close the distance to help, but Clarisse was faster…The drakon's flesh dissolved, and it collapsed into a hollow scaly tunnel of armor.

The Greek demigods cheered. Clarisse and Silena exchange small smiles. The romans looked at Clarisse in awe and Ares was grinning proudly.

The rest of us stared at Clarisse in awe…I looked down at the dying face of Silena Beauregard.

Aphrodite, Piper, Beckendorf and Clarisse flinched. Silena gave a small smile.

"Done." Ares said

"I'll read." Dionysus said.
