Chapter 5: Climax of The End
Ten Years Later...
Percy hid in the bushes of the woods of Pennsylvania. Right next to him were his closest friends, Leo Valdez, Nico di Angelo, and Hazel Levesque. Leo had dark long hair and tan skin. He wore a smudged white t-shirt and torn, dark blue jeans. His left arm was now a robotic arm covered in bandages. He was as tall as Percy. Nico wore his casual black jacket and stitched black pants. He had ghostly pale skin and a fresh scar that ran clean across his right eye. He stood a few inches shorter than Leo. Hazel looked exactly like she did in Percy's visions from ten years ago.
"So why are we here again?" Leo yawned tiredly.
Percy sighed, "It's just like in my visions. I couldn't figure out who was suppose to win, but I did manage to figure out that Philip Carson, a former apprentice of Luke's, has been mixing ancient Egyptian magic with Greek magic. I know it might seem like I am crazy, but I have foreseen it. No one else would believe me."
Percy turned to Hazel. "Do you guys think I've lost it?"
Hazel sighed deeply, "After all we've seen? I believe you."
Nico nodded grimly. "Me too."
Leo groaned, "I would say you've lost your mind, amigo, but since they understand you, I believe you too."
Percy patted Leo's shoulder. "Thanks, man."
Bright lights flashed in the sky, revealing a group of small tents in a circle with a bonfire in the center.
"Tonight's the night, guys." Percy grimly nodded.
"The endgame indeed." An unknown person agreed.
Percy whirled around and saw Annabeth with Thalia. They were both in bronze armor and had hockey pads for leggings. Annabeth had purple streaks in her hair. Thalia had golden streaks of color in her hair. The two walked over to Percy.
Percy was horrified. Earlier, he made Annabeth promise to stay safe and out of trouble.
Percy hissed, "What in Hades's name are you doing here?"
"We're never getting separated," Annabeth said. "Not now, not tomorrow, never again. You promise."
"I also promised to keep you safe," Percy told Annabeth, running his hand through her hair.
"Trust me, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth chuckled. "We survived this far. We'll get through this. I promise."
Percy sighed. He nodded.
"Um, guys?"
Percy and Annabeth whirled furiously to face Leo. He was using his robotic arm to point to something in the middle of the camp. A large group of demigods and other people were chanting around the fire. It had begun. The Armageddon. The doomsday. The climax of the end.
