Chapter Fifteen: Back-Up has Officially Arrived

A/N Thanks y'all for reviewing! Anywaysssss, here is the chapter. Also, I'll just be switching between Percy and Annabeth's P.O.V.s, so just try to keep up with that.

(Percy)

Steve was giving everyone instructions.

"Bruce, you get Natasha and get out, got it? Stark and Percy, you stall Ultron until we get the Sokovians out. Annabeth, Clint, Thor, Pietro, Wanda, and I will start destroying those robots. Vision, you shut Ultron out of the internet. Everyone's first priority is to keep the Sokovians safe. Everyone, go."

They all went their separate ways. "Tony, where's Ultron?" Percy asked as he ran to keep up with Iron Man. It was Tony's new A.I, FRIDAY, who answered.

"Your man's in the church, boss. I think he's waiting for you." They charged into the church.

Ultron was, in fact, waiting for them. "Come to confess your sins?" Tony shrugged.

"I don't know, how much time you got?"

"More than you." Ultron replied. "Gee, this is a nice church you got here." Percy commented. "You know, it kinda diminishes the whole 'evil villain' affect, though. Maybe, like, a cave? Or maybe even a prep high school." Percy shuddered. "Man, those guys are evil."

Tony started stalling as well. "Um, have you been juicing? You're looking, I don't wanna say puffy-"

"You're stalling to protect the people." Ultron interceded into their babbling. "Well, that is the mission." Tony admitted. "Did you forget?"

"I've moved beyond your mission. I'm free." Suddenly, a blue light shot through the floor and the ground rumbled. If robots could smile, Ultron would've. "What, you think you were the only one stalling?"

"There's the rest of the Vibranium." FRIDAY said. "Function: still unclear."

"Yeah, I got that, thanks." Percy grumbled. "This is how you end, Avengers." Ultron said. "This is peace in my time."

(Annabeth)

The robots had started the siege. They flew in every direction and hit blasts at the civilians. "Go!" Steve yelled. "Get off the bridge! Run!" Wanda shouted, and started using her powers to hit the robots against the walls.

Annabeth drew her knife and attacked like a demon. As she fought, she came to terms with her decision to join the Avengers. She banished the pain and worry that she'd been battling with for days.

She was doing what she was meant to do: being a hero. Not only for the gods, but for mortals too. She was protecting them to the best of her abilities, and that was all that mattered. Then she saw a red streak fly through the air and knew that Vision was about to carry out Phase Two of the plan

Percy had a hard time believing that Vision was just an android. He certainly acted more than that, but according to all the science fiction books he'd read, an android was supposed to be modeled after a human. Or, in this case, a JARVIS.

Percy and Tony dove out of the way as Vision over to Ultron. "My Vision. They really did take everything from me." Ultron said. "Oh, boo-hoo." Percy muttered.

"You set the terms, you can change them." Vision told Ultron. "Alright." Ultron replied, and they started to battle it out.

Vision put his thumbs on the side of Ultron's head and stared into his red eyes. "FRIDAY!" Tony said. "The Vision?"

"Boss, it's working." FRIDAY said. "Vision's burning Ultron out of the net, he won't escape through there."

Vision took his hands off Ultron's head and collapsed. Ultron's eye's literally glowed from anger. "You shut me out! You think I care? You take away my world, I take away yours." Ultron clamped his hand down on a lever and twisted it.

The floor started to shake and rumble. Cracks appeared in the dirt. "FRIDAY!" Tony asked. "What's happening?"

"Sokovia's going for a ride." The A.I. said. Percy cursed and ran out of the room. "I get this feeling this is not going to end well."

Ultron's voice echoed around the slowly rising earth, using each of his robots to talk. "Do you see? The beauty of it, the inevitability. You rise, only to fall. You, Avengers, you will be my meteor, my swift and terrible sword and the earth will crack under the weight of your failure. When the dust settles, the only living thing on this planet will be metal."

Percy met up with Annabeth and started fighting, at the same time glancing over the edge. "Do you think this counts as Avengers business?" Percy wondered. Annabeth nodded. "Yeah, I think it does. How's your fear of heights at the moment?"

Percy didn't bother to answer because at that moment he heard the Hulk roar and a thump. Percy winced. "Well, Banner's in the game." Annabeth didn't spare him a glance. "Good. We need some smashing right now."

Percy heard FRIDAY's voice in his earbuds. "The Vibranium core has a magnetic field, that's what's keeping it together."

"And if it drops?" Tony asked. "Right now, the impact could kill thousands. If it gets high enough: Global Extinction."

Those last words jarred Percy to the core. Global Extinction? That was… well, global. That included everyone. Everyone Percy had ever met would be dead if this rock fell.

Percy and Annabeth fought with new venom. A new wave of robots attacked them, and it seemed never ending. "Cap, you got incoming." Tony said, stating the obvious.

"Incoming already came in." Steve replied. "Stark, you worry about getting the city down safely. The rest of us have one job: tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off."

"I don't think that's possible," Percy muttered, though he supposed it sounded pretty cool.

Eventually, his motions just went on autopilot. Swing, stab, slash, duck. Kick, dodge, kill, stab. Every once in a while, Percy threw a ton of water at a robot, making it short-circuit.

Once he considered creating his own personal hurricane, but he decided to keep that last minute. Keeping a hurricane usually really drained him, and he needed his strength.

He caught a glimpse of a woman in a car falling off the floating rock. He ran to help, but Steve and Thor worked together and threw her back. A robot flew next to them, speaking in Ultron's voice. "You can't save them all. You will never-"Percy threw his sword and it cut off the head of the robot.

"Sorry." He muttered. "That was getting tiresome." Steve knocked off the head of a different Ultron as well. "You'll never what? You didn't finish!" He yelled.

They worked together and did their best to kill all of the robots, but Percy could tell they were outnumbered. Thor shot a blast of lightning and killed about ten. "Thor!" Ultron flew over. "You're bothering me."

Barton's voice sounded in their earbuds. "Alright, we're clear here."

"We are not clear! We are very not clear!" Steve shouted as they destroyed another wave of robots.

"Alright, coming to you." Clint stopped talking. The team successfully destroyed all the robots that were attacking them at the moment.

Percy sat down to catch his breath. Annabeth took a swig of nectar. "The next wave's gonna hit any minute. What have you got, Stark?" Steve asked.

"Well, nothing great. Maybe a way to blow up the city. That'll keep it from impacting the surface if you guys can get clear."

"I asked for a solution, not an escape plan." Steve said. Tony sighed. Over the speakers, it sounded like an elephant sneezing. "Impact radius is getting bigger every second. We've gotta make a choice."

Natasha looked like she was bending towards Tony's idea. "Cap, these people are going nowhere. If Stark finds a way to blow this rock…"

"Not until everyone's safe." Steve replied. "Everyone down there versus everyone up here? There's no math in that." Annabeth protested.

"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Steve insisted.

"I didn't say we should leave." Natasha said. They all turned to look at her, shocked. "There's worse ways to go. Besides, where else am I gonna get a view like this?"

Nick Fury's voice crackled in their earbuds. "Glad you like the view, Romanoff. It's about to get better." Percy turned around, hoping against hope to see something good.

A huge helicarrier was rising to meet them. "Nice, right?" Fury commented. "I pulled her out of the closet with a couple of friends. She's dusty, but she'll do."

Steve shook his head, grinning. "Fury, you son of a *censored*."

"Ooooh, you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

Annabeth nudged Percy. "Percy, turn around." He complied. "What?"

Standing on the edge of the rock were the rest of the seven, including Nico, all decked out in their suits and weapons. Jason spun his steel gladius. "Hey, guys. Somebody call for backup?"

A/N Yay! We did it! Sorry if this chapter was a bit short. There'll probably be about two more chapters and then this story is done. But don't worry! Right after that one, there will be another story about the demigods in Civil War.
