Emily was glad to see her mother and Hestia there, Hestia had stepped in front of the giant that was her bane and her mother had did the same thing. Emily had glanced over at Daedalus as Hestia stood between Emily and her bane, he was still breathing but only just though. Emily knew he died to protect camp Halfblood, sort of since Nico had release his spirit instead of dying normally. Emily had seen him face off monsters, Nazi and HYDRA soldiers, it was because of him that the howling commandos had formed one of their battle cries along with one from HYDRA that Daedalus had used. That battle cry was well, let's find two more, it was a strange battle cry yes but it amused the howling commandos so he just used it. Emily had looked away as the bane of Hestia had spoke.

"Do you think you can defeat me by yourself?"

"Well, there are demigods here as well as two gods." When Hestia had said that, that the bane of Hestia had started attacking as well as the bane of Demeter. Emily and Hestia were fighting with her bane while her mother, Leo and Lauren were fighting with the bane of Demeter. Emily kept using her sword that her mother had gave her, Emily tried to use hope or fire but she was not succeed. It seem that the bane of Hestia kept absorbing hope and fire, Emily also tried to use the powers she was born with but the bane of Demeter had seem to absorb those powers. As Emily kept fighting that heard Elpis in her mind.

'Emily, remember that prophey that Daedalus had brought up.' Emily wasn't sure of how to respond but she managed to sent Elpis a yes or Emily hope so without saying anything. 'Good, you seem to forget something, that I am part of you. A giant, even the bane of Hestia, can't overcome a Protogenoi. I had told you that both of our hopes are needed. Just do what you usually do but use me instead.' Emily did as Elpis said that instead of going to the power Hestia had gave her that she went to Elpis and tried to do what she did earlier and lessen the hope in the bane of Hestia. As Emily did that, that the bane of Hestia had cried out making everyone stop fighting, he feel back and put his hands over his head and he looked at her as he feel to his knees.

"It's not possible. You can't use your powers around me." Emily and Hestia had step forward and Emily had her sword raised while Hestia had one of her hands on fire. Emily kept using hope from Elpis as she went towards the giant.

"Yes I can, as it is coming from Elpis." With that, that Emily had stabbed him in his chest and Hestia had set him on fire before stabbing the giant in the neck with a dagger. He screamed before he disappeared in gold dust, Emily had looked over and notice that the bane of Demeter seem surprised and taken back. As a result that his legs were wrapped in plants and he didn't know till the plants made him fall over. With that, Lauren had stabbed him in the stomach while Leo had used his hammer to bang on the giant's head. The bane of Demeter was being choked but plants and after a minute that he was also turned into gold dust. Once that happened that Emily had ran over to where Daedalus was as well as Lauren, they had managed to get him his back. The wound was bad and that he had been bleeding a lot, Emily placed her hand over the wound and was about ready to use her healing powers but Daedalus had grabbed her hand. Emily looked at Daedalus when he did that and he coughed, thankfully he didn't cough up blood and in his state that was possible.

"Daedalus, you are wounded."

"I know, but you know prophecies can't be changed." Emily tilted her head when Daedalus had said that.

"But you managed to come back, stupid head."

"Emily." Emily turned and looked at her mother. "Did you really just call Daedalus, stupid head." It was Daedalus who spoke.

"She did, Demeter, that is her nickname for me ever since World War II. She gave it to me before she knew I was Daedalus and I am used to Emily calling me that. However she sometimes use Colonel stupid head."

"Yeah she did, I think I like Colonel stupid head."

"Do you mind?" Emily had turned back to daedalus as he spoke once more.

"I know I had come back from the died, so did Lauren. Honestly I believe I was meant to die twice."

"What do you mean?"

"When I go to the underworld that I had learned about the prophecy that my half sister had for her quest to find me. I knew that he line about the last stand was about me. When you told me the new great prophecy that I knew that the line about an oath to keep with a final breath was about me once more." Emily shook her head for she was sure Daedalus had never made any oath or promise to anyone.

"How could you been so sure it meant you? It could apply to any oath or anyone."

"I know because when I went into the army into World War II that if there was any demigods under my command that I made an oath on the river Styx to protect them once the war ended provided that I was still alive and they were still alive. After the war ended and you disappeared along with James and Lauren died that that oath wasn't intact or so I had thought till I learned you and James were still alive. One reason of why besides stopping Kronos and protecting the camp that I decided that I had to die after the battle of labyrinth happened. When I had come back with Lauren that I know it was going to be intact once more, honestly the only I could stop the bane of Hestia killing you was to take it myself."

Daedalus had coughed once more, Emily looked over at Lauren of who looked at her before lowering her head. Emily had than looked back at Daedalus of who took one last breath before he shudder and stopped moving. Hestia had than step forward and put her hand on his forehead and spoke in ancient Greek. Than Daedalus had disappeared and Hestia had turned her palm up to reveal gold dust in her hand and she blow the dust into the air. Emily had stood up and watched as the gold dust went up into the sky and formed new stars showing Daedalus with the wings he made on his back with his arms controlling the wings. It looked almost like he was flying across the sky, for a few moments it was bright before the glow of the stars died in the light of the sun that was over head. Than the doors had banged open and they all turned, the other giants, or some of them, had entered the room, Emily had gripped her sword ready to fight.

It didn't take long for them to start fighting and Emily noticed as she was fighting that the other demigods had joined in the fighting. She also notice a couple of other gods had joined in the fighting, she wasn't sure of which gods had also joined in. Emily was starting to get tired as the fighting went on, she kept using her power over hope. She was using both her own hope as well as Elpis' hope, after a couple of hours that they managed to get kill the giants that were in the throne room before leaving to stop from Gaea rising. Emily was in the lead of the group, after a few minutes that Emily had stopped when she entered one of the houses and the others had stopped and the gods that were with them had joined them quickly enough. In the house was an altar thing and there was a woman on it, there was also the rest of the giants there. Porphyrion had step forward and looked at them, Emily had gripped her sword as he stopped closer.

"I have to say that I am surprised you managed to make it though that fighting." Porphyrion was looking at them and than he looked at Emily. "I will admit that after the first fail of rising Gaea that she had told me that two demigods must be sacrificed and she had picked two, can you guess of who this two are?" Emily tilted her head when he said that.

"Let's see, would it be you and a sister of yours?" Porphyrionhad snorted when Emily had said that.

"It seems that you developed a sense of humor since we last meet."

"I always had one, I just never showed it to you. But it is obvious it had to be two of the ten here."

"Well yes, but do to the events taken place in the throne room that the two demigods that Gaea wanted were changed." Emily tilted her head when Porphyrion had said that.

"May I ask of what events had made he change her mind."

"You know what event of when Elpis bonded to you." The ones that were not there were gasping when Porphyrion had said that, Emily gripped her her sword tighter. It was clear from what Porphyrion had said that Emily was one of the demigods to be sacrifice to wake up Gaea but who was the other one though.

"I am taking a wild guess that I was one of them but who was the other one that was changed? Or at least that is what you meant that both were changed."

"The other one was suppose to be Leo. But Gaea changed to Percy and Annabeth. For it has to be a female and male."

"It won't be any of us." With that the fighting started once more, it seem Percy and Annabeth were careful to make sure they were not killed. As they fought that Emily noticed that Piper and Hazel were starting to wear down from the fighting. Emily and her mothehad managed to defeat one of the giants when Alcyoneus had killed Hazel by stabbing her in her heart. As Hazel fell to the ground that she looked at Emily before she had fell totally and closed her eyes. Emily could hear Frank yelling no, Emily closed her eyes for a moment before opening them once more and went on fighting. It was Aphrodite and Piper were the ones that were fighting the last giant of which was the bane of Aphrodite. The go at had managed to kill Piper, he was about ready to go at Aphrodite but Emily had step in and fought along with Aphrodite. Aphrodite she sent her a grateful look. Emily was using her fire and plant powers, Emily had managed to put a plant around the giants' neck and Aphrodite had stabbed him.

Aphrodite had knelt down and managed to sit up Piper and started crying. Emily could tell that Hades was close to tears as he looked at Hazel but unlike with Aphrodite that he could see his daughter. Emily bit her lip, she wondered what and who will tell Nico, as well as Bianca, about Hazel however Bianca didn't know Hazel as well as Nico did. As they stood there that there was rain coming down as well as thunder and lighting, Emily had looked up as one of the lighting had come down and hit the woman and suddenly the woman started to dirt. The dirt fell from the altar thing and Emily thought she heard what sounded like a snore as it fell from the sky. For the first time in about a year that the ground didn't try to pull any of them down into the earth or any dirt coming up around them or anything like that. The earth was still as it should be.
