PERCY'S POV

We all were sitting there, enjoying the solitude of silence. It had been a long time since I had sat like this with my friends. They all were silent, as if they were reading his thoughts.

The silence was broken by the sound of a conch horn.

"Looks like they are here" Jason said as he got up. He helped Piper up while Leo helped up Calypso. Sadness grew in Percy's heart as time passed.

Every second that passed added to the burden on his shoulders.

"Percy" Percy shook himself out of his thoughts. Jason was holding out his hand for Percy to take. Percy took it gratefully and got up.

"Hey" Jason spoke in an assuring manner, "We are in this together" Percy looked at others and they all nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yeah" Percy replied, his voice still low, "Thanks again"

They all started walking towards the ground. Just like some normal teenagers going for a war. Jason and Piper went to check the preparations. Leo said that he will go and check Festus one more time, he didn't want a metal dragon to roast our allies.

Calypso was about to follow him, when she quickly turned back and pecked Percy on the cheek, "There is no match for you when it comes to swords fighting, do not underestimate yourself" she then gave a quick smile and walked towards Leo.

How? How did she know that he was thinking this? But the main thing was that Percy had been underestimating his skills. He was the what, the best swordsman in the last Century. Yeah! He was!

Percy took his positions in the front with Reyna, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Leo, Thalia and Nico. Festus was soaring above head with Calypso on its back.

Nico took out his Stygian Ice Sword and the world looked gloomier. Jason drew his blade followed by Reyna, Hazel, Piper and Leo. Wait, Leo wasn't holding a sword, what was it.

Percy was eyeing it when Leo said, "Don't ogle my baby, she is a hot steaming bitch" and he grinned widely. Typical Leo!

Thalia opened her fists and her weapons appeared in her hands. Frank got his bow and arrow that somehow was invisible until he got it in his hands. Percy could have bet that it was slung on his back the whole time.

Percy uncapped Riptide and clicked his watch. In no time, Percy was holding a wicked sword and a shield. The shield was even better than the last model given by Tyson. Percy and others took their stances, ready to face even the primordial.

"I have left the gates open to lure them inside the camp. We don't want mortals to see anything even through the mist." Reyna spoke. Percy nodded.

"Here they come!" Shouted Calypso overhead.

"Legionnaires, take your positions" Frank ordered.

"Load the catapults" Reyna ordered, "Fire at will"

"No!" Percy snapped, "Do not fire at all until we have secured Annabeth"

Reyna nodded, "You heard him, and no one fires before my signal"

"Ave!" The army chorused. Dakota was holding the eagle. It was looking overcharged with power, just the same as Dakota.

They heard a loud cheer of monsters and the air around them tensed. Percy could feel the presence of numerous hideous monsters.

It was smaller than that of the battle of Manhattan, but still really-really big.

"Twelfth Legion Fulminata!" shouted Dakota at the top of his lungs

"Twelfth Legion Fulminata!" the war cry echoed through the crowd of demigods. The monsters came in view and they charged.

There were empousai, telkhines, hyperborean giants, demigods and the worst of all, there was echidna with her children.

Percy was the first one to engage. Adrenalin surged though his veins. Anger acted as an extra weapon. He only attacked and attacked, not worrying about his defences. He had the curse of Achilles to look after the defence.

Riptide was a brutal arch. It must have been the last thing that nearly 70 monsters saw. Percy swung and ducked and sparred and parried and swung and swung and swung.

Not giving a damn about the surroundings, he went straight into the enemy's line. He could see Jason, Thalia, Nico and Reyna by his side.

Thalia and Reyna must be making their godly parents proud. Thalia kept nocking arrows and zapping lightning and slicing the monsters simultaneously. Wow!

Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel and Calypso were playing defence. Frank was now a big dragon. It looked like Festus was enjoying his company.

Nico was whole lot of another story. He was surging waves after waves of dead from Hades. Every now or then, a gap would appear in the ground and swallow complete a Hyperborean Giant.

Percy willed a tornado to form around him. No arrows could touch him now, so it meant that he won't be tickled anymore.

He kept slashing and swinging. From left to right, then upwards, then in between, just to surprise the latter, a downwards bow.

Jason kept zapping monsters to dust. Volleys of arrows kept coming in from the hunters. They were having the uppercut in the battle now.

But the Titans and Demigods were nowhere to be seen. Shit! Percy had jinxed it. Another wave of monsters poured in accompanied with nearly fifty demigods.

More anger surged through his veins. "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Percy yelled as he put Riptide hilt deep into the ground.

You are the son of the Earthshaker lad. The words of Hephaestus echoed through his mind. The earth began to shake. All the fighters stood dead still in their positions.

Percy created a fifty foot chasm in between the line of monsters. It swallowed nearly hundred monsters. Percy looked up and saw that everyone was dead still.

The monsters recovered the quickest. They roared and attacked once again and chaos started once again. The demigods did not slow down either.

Percy also started to fight once again, but he was drained now. He had lost too much of his energy in opening the chasm.

Percy swung riptide as he disintegrated 4 telkhines in one blow. Then something strange happened. The monsters stopped attacking Percy and attacked the other demigods.

Percy hadn't even processed what had happened when someone spoke in front of him, "Well, well, well" he walked casually around Percy, "What do have here. Percy Jackson. Son of Neptune. Hero of Olympus. Percy Jackson my foot!"

"Excuse me" Percy arched his eyebrow, no demigod had ever dared to talk to him like that. Who the hell was he?

"Do I know you?"

"No" the latter replied simply, "But now you will" the demigod took his position. Percy did the same.

"But who are you?!" Percy wanted to know who this fool was.

"Ryan Connors! Son of Bellona!" he said as he charged.

Whoohooo! Finally the battle has started. When do you think will be the climax? Please review and let me know. I will post the next chapter as soon as I reach 170 reviews.

So it is now up to you, Till Then, Stay Home, Stay Safe and Keep Reading.
