Chapter 4
Every one shot up from their mattresses.
The demigods all grabbed their weapons, the Romans their spears and shields, the Greeks grabbing their assorted magical items.
Annabeth grabbed her knifes, Katie her flower clip, Clarisse her spear, Leo his tool belt, Piper her dagger, Jason, the gladius Juno gave him, and the rest grabbed swords.
They were about to charge out the double doors, but Annabeth and Frank held everyone up.
Another yell, defiantly human, rang out.
Annabeth got on one side of the doors, Frank on the other. She held up three fingers, counting down.

BANG!
The doors flew open, and the demigods yelled and scattered.
The Minotaur charged through the doors, breaking the marble like kindling.
It only had one black and white horn, making the other side of its head looking lopsided.
A black haired figure ran in after it, yelling "HEY BEEF BUTT, I'M OVER HERE!"
The boy stopped dead and stared when he saw the demigods, which gave the monster enough time to whip around, and swat him into the air.
Frank, Hazel, and Annabeth all yelled, "PERCY!"
He flew twenty feet into the air.
He landed on a mattress, skidded, and hit the wall. He lay there groaning.
Then he got up, panting. The Minotaur charged at Annabeth. The boys head snapped up, and he yelled, "GET AWAYFROM HER!"
He ran towards the monster, reaching into his pocket, and pulling out a… Pen?
Piper was confused. But Annabeth wasn't. As the Minotaur charged her, she waited until the very last minute, then jumped out of the way. She tried to stab it, but she slipped on the water that was pouring into the room.
Percy ran until he was standing in the middle of the room, his arms raised above his head. He concentrated, and felt a tug in his gut.
He whirled round and pointed at the Minotaur, and yelled.
The water went nuclear, exploding upwards, and crashing down on the Minotaur, spinning him off his feet, and pushing him to the ground.
Of course, he got right back up. Then it turned to the Romans, who looked panicky, not knowing what to do; they had never fought such monsters before (In my opinion, they're wimps).
"FRANK! I NEED BACK UP, ELEPHANT GO!" Percy yelled.
Frank instantly ran at the Minotaur, growing larger, and grayer until…
"THAT DUDE'S AN ELEPHANT!"
"SHUT UP VALDEZ AND FLAME UP!" Piper yelled, her eyes ablaze with anger.
Frank slammed into the Minotaur, who flew back, and hit the wall. The wall collapsed, and buried it. Frank turned back to himself, shaking.
"VALDEZ, FLAME IT!" Piper yelled, looking like she was going to spit fire.
Leo flamed up, and ignoring the gasps, ran to the Minotaur.
He shot a huge ball of fire into the pile of rocks, and for a moment the entire room was lit up with fiery light.
When he stopped, the entire pile was ablaze.
"OH YEAH, EAT FIRE YOU HORRIBLE EXUSE FOR A COW!" Leo yelled, laughing.
He turned to his friends, who looked at him in horror.
"Leo, you're a fire user!"
"You're Clarisse la Rue!"
"You IDIOT! Do you know how many problems that could have solved?"
Leo laughed. "Whatever, who's that guy?"
Everyone turned to Percy, who was standing there, looking at the pile of rocks with horror.
The flaming pile had started to move.
"MOVE!" Percy yelled.
He ran and shoved Leo out of the way as a flaming rock almost smashed him.
The Minotaur burst out of the rocks, still on fire , still ALIVE.
Percy was MAD.
"Alright you miserable excuse for a monster, COME AND GET IT!"
So Percy, being the idiot he was, charged a flaming, angry, half man and half bull.
The other demigods stood frozen with shock, until Percy blew by them yelling, "MOVE IT!"
Then, they jumped into action. The demigods surround the monster, Will and Frank shooting arrow after arrow into its hide, while the others locked shields and made a circle.
Except for Percy, who was climbing up the pile of flaming rocks next to the monster.
Percy jumped, and landed on the monsters head.
The monster started bucking round like a rodeo bull.
Percy locked his arms around the one remaining horn, and pulled.
SNAP!
Percy was thrown off, and landed on another mattress. This time he used the rebound to jump to his feet.
The demigods yelled, and Piper screamed as her leg was hit with a large rock, cutting the back of her leg. She fell to the ground, bleeding, and Leo yelled "PIPER!"
Jason and Thalia were doing their 'Children of Zeus' thingsand Jason didn't even look up from blasting the Minotaur when he heard Leo yell.
Percy ran to the middle of the room, and suddenly everyone stopped.
Even the monster.
No one had EVER seen Percy look this angry. He radiated power, like Jason, like Thalia, like Nico, but 10 times more than ALL of them put together.
And that was a lot of power.
Percy uncapped his pen again, and advanced on the Minotaur.
"HOW many FRICKEN' times do I have to KILL YOU!" He yelled.
He pressed a button on his watch. A shield spiraled out, reaching its full circumference for the first time in 8 months.
"DON'T TOUCH MY FRIENDS!" He yelled. He threw the horn like a boomerang, and it hit the monster in the gut. He screamed, and dissolved into flaming ashes.
The dust settled. People unfroze…
And looked at Percy.
In this perfectly awkward moment, when none could speak, one hero, born to vanquish all who like awkwardness, no sense of humor, people, and others, came forth.
"THAT WAS SO FRICKEN AWESOME!"
Everyone exploded with cheers.
The Stolls started singing, "WE DID IT, WE BASHED HIM, LIL' PERCY'S THE ONE, AND MINY'S GONE TINY, AND NOW WE'LL HAVE FUN!"
"Shut up Stolls!" Katie said dully.
"Aww, Katie-Kat, you know you love me!" Travis said, smirking.
"IN your DREAMS!"
You are in my dreams,he thought wistfully. Then he turned back to Annabeth nearly killing Percy with a bear hug.
"An-bet, Can-net breath!" he gasped. She pulled back and punched him in the face.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He said loudly, wincing.
"For being a JERK, and NOT coming BACK, and not EVEN IM-ing, and I'll do -"
She was cut off as Percy kissed her, hard.
Cat calls and whistles rose through the crowd.
Rachel, who had been in the corner for the entire fight, watching it play out like the vision she's had an hour ago, laughed.
"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?"
Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and the rest of the gods were standing in the trashed doorway, their mouths wide open.
Percy and Annabeth didn't even stop kissing, Percy just held up a finger in a 'be quiet your ruining the moment' gesture.
When they broke apart, with every one watching, AGAIN, he said, "Hi!"
