AN: Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating in quite some time, I have been extremely busy with School. Due to this, I will most likely only be able to update every Sunday. Enjoy!

Chapter 26- Fire will burn

Percy POV

The darkness was suffocating, the air flew past me as I fell. I position myself so I was facing what I thought was downwards, and brace myself. Unfortunately, I could see nothing but black.

Suddenly the blackness vanishes, and I could see once more. Looking around, I notice the cliff was still next to me, red hot lava spewing over the side. I look down and saw nothing, just red mist. I could see for miles down, but I saw nothing, no sight of land, or mountain. I could see absolutely nothing.

The air whistled through my ears, but strangely, I felt at peace, almost as though I didn't care about the horrid situation I was struck in. Then it hit me, it was a trick. The pit was making me feel at peace so I wouldn't fight for survival.

I mustn't die I think to myself, but my mind wouldn't listen, wouldn't let me move my arms towards the cliff face.

I must live I think, trying as hard as I could to reach outwards towards the ledges rushing by.

The force holding my mind refused to be broken.

Wait… force I think to myself.

I release force magic into my arm, praying that this would work. I force my arm to reach towards the cliff, and BANG! My hand closes over the ledge, and I was left hanging there, off the cliff. The magic on my mind had vanished, and I had full control. I grab the ledge with my other hand, and using my demigod strength, haul myself up onto the ledge. I sit there, my legs dangling down off the edge of the ledge.

What will I do? I think, looking up at the ledge above me, at least 12 meters up. I slowly bend over and look down towards the ledge below, which was just below me. Slowly, I slide off the ledge. Suddenly the rock gives way, and I fall to the ledge, smashing my head on the rock. All I felt was pain, and the last thing I saw was the cliff racing by.

Third person POV

Nyx watched the demigods piling onto 'Sea's Voyage' preparing to sail on towards the island which Order would be waiting.

The last of the demigods were just finishing boarding the ship, and Nyx leapt onto it, her mask of war firmly on her face.

She looked hellish. Her mask was pitch black, with a beak like thing sticking out of it. She had just slits for eyeholes, and a dark cloak surrounding her body, which she said was to hide her aura.

'Sea's Voyage' backed out of the position it was parked in, and sailed out to sea.

The air started to become fouler, the further they travelled towards where Nyx could apparently see the island. Without Percy to speed things up, movement was far slower than the speed of the ship before.

"I can feel Order" says Nyx unhappily.

"Really? Is he powerful?" asks Annabeth, wanting to weigh up their chances of winning.

"Yes, more powerful than me, I am just hoping that he will listen to me, I am his little sister after all" says Nyx.

"Wait! Your Order's sister!?" says Annabeth, alarmed.

"Yes, but that does not make me evil" says Nyx, rolling her eyes.

Annabeth visibly relaxed.

"Oh no" says Nyx, her eyes widening.

"What?" Annabeth asks, frowning.

"I feel… I feel… Karutos" says Nyx, her eyes widening.

"Who?" Annabeth asks.

"Karutos" says Nyx.

"And?" Annabeth asks.

"He is a banished deity. A son of Assimovoi. He was banished for trying to steal Glasaco's power, wanting wisdom." Says Nyx.

"So, we're screwed?" asks Annabeth.

"Yep, we are screwed" says Nyx grimly.

"Well, let's hope someone turns up to help us" says Annabeth.

"Yes, let's hope. Helix would be good, or maybe Shael." Says Nyx. "Heck, I'll take Shade" says Nyx.

Nyx looked into the distance, and saw a huge shadow covering the island, two red eyes on the side of one of the spires, watching them.

Third person POV

Zarcrix looked at the small army of UC23, and back at the army of UC1. Without doing maths he could tell that his army, UC1 outnumbered UC23's by at least 100,000,000 to one.

Quickly waving his hand, allowing his voice to be magnified, he said; "Warriors of UC23! Do not attempt to destroy UC31, or else UC24 will soon be 23!" yelled Zarcrix, implying that he would destroy their entire UC if they didn't surrender.

"And who are you!" yells someone from the crowd.

"I am Zarcrix! Lord of UC1, and this is half our army!" he yells, gesturing to the trillions of warriors behind him.

The warriors began to look scared as they saw more and more warriors flowing from behind the huge space rock, obviously containing some sought of portal. The warriors just kept coming until all you could see was rows of warriors, stretching as far as eye could see.

The members of UC23 immediately put away their weapons.

"We surrender, shall be a shame of we were to lose a couple of million warriors over this" says the captain, and UC23 slowly turn their ships around, heading for their home planet.

"All right everyone, back we go!" yells Zarcrix causing a ton of groaning, no, way more than a ton. A million tons. The noise could break through the great wall of China like it was paper, and many warriors burst their eardrums, while others were shot off all over the place, forcing them to fly back, annoying at least 600,000,000 warriors.

Eventually they all made it back, after much squabbling and shouting.

Percy POV

My eyes shoot open, and my head spun in pain. I sit up groggily and look around, but all I could see was a blur, however, I could smell everything, and my hearing had intensified ridiculously, I could hear snaked slithering through the pipes above me, and the creaking of the floor boards as someone walked in. Wait… Someone walked in?

I spin around, causing my head to spin.

"Greetings Perseus Jackson" I hear.

"Uh…Hello?" I say uncertainly, trying to make out the figure in front of me.

"That is not customary" says the voice.

"Oh… right. Uh… Greetings person I can't see at the moment" I say, hoping I hadn't screwed up.

"Words of that liking are not permitted here" says the voice.

"Uh… Ok" I say.

"So, where am I"?" I ask.

"Muzideshyrtyersw" says the figure.

"Well, that was helpful" I say, rolling my eyes.

"No?" asks the figure.

"Yes?" I say, confused.

The figure tilts its head to the side, and I felt my vision returning so I could actually sort of make out the guy in front of me.

He was tall, far taller than me, and he had long silver hair. He was dressed in orange clothes, and seemed to be looking at me in respect?

"So… who are you?" I ask.

"I am Firleader Musterac" he says. "We are the good inside the pit" he says.

"Oh" I say.

Suddenly a couple more figures filed in, dressed in the same clothes.

"Let's get down to business" one of them says. "Perseus Jackson, a sort of heroic figure from… Earth, was it?" he asks.

"Err, yes" I say.

"Ok, so we decided to grant you some powers because honestly you are disturbing the pit, and you need to get the heck out of here" he says.

I nod. "So why do you talk differently to Firleader?" I ask.

"Because I am not so serious" he says, and I could basically feel him rolling his eyes.

"Anyway, we are here to grant him Brother fire power and minor flash?" he says, to the nods of agreement of the other people.

Before I could ask what the Hades that meant they began chanting;

Roses are red

Violets are blue

We are fire

And so are you!

They yell, and I feel a rush of power flow into me, and I had a question on my mind.

"Arr… Why in Hades was that power song one of those stupid rhymes?" I ask.

"What are you talking about!?" says the man.

"Umm… nothing." I say quickly, not really wanting to explain something like that to these guys.

"So, what are you waiting for! Test out the fire power!" he yells, pointing at a faggot in the room by the fireplace.

I had no idea what he was talking about, obviously, but I try anyway.

I feel the power of the sea rushing through my veins, and then I felt a different power, something not as smooth as the sea, something slightly rougher.

I grab onto it and shoot it towards the faggot, and watch in disbelief as it goes up in blue flames.

"Blue!"

"A different colour!"

"Not for 3000 years!"

"Oh, my deities! This is insane!"

I just look at them standing awkwardly.

"Perseus! This is the first time this has happened since Dave the Brave made red flames, the second time in the history of the brotherhood! Oh, my Deities! You're special!

AN: Thanks for reading chapter 26! Sorry again for inconvenience as I am only able to update on Sunday's but I will try to update ASAP.

P.S: my definition of faggot is a bundle of sticks, not the Offensive word.

Sorry if you saw this when it was all one paragraph, I think fanfiction was broken. It took me ages to fix it honestly.

I hope you enjoyed, and don't forget to leave a review.
