Hey guys! Sorry for that terrible cliffy, but you know, I enjoy torturing my readers. Also, I think I may have lost a few of my readers with that, and I suspect it will only go lower with this chapter. But I swear people, things will get more interesting next chapter. I swear, just stick with me fellas.

Anywho, time for the thing.

kk: Heh heh, I enjoyed your bleak moments of obliviousness in the first review. Also, if you want to know what all that gibberish was, just copy and paste it into the Google Translator. Also, super glad I couldn't hear your screams. I would probably be deaf right now. Just stick with me for the next chapter. I'm bringing in someone new that will spice things up.

Fangirlshavenoreality: Ohmygosh I loved your review! I'm so glad you're enjoying this enough to, like, do a comment that big! PS. I like your username.

TylarSphinx97: Don't worry. My excuse is passable... I think.

BREANNa: Glad you like it! :D

Annabeth stared in horror at the scene in front of her.

Beo convulsed in pain, arching his back and screaming in agony. Everything flashed, bright lights were shooting everywhere.

The fire around them flared and dimmed, changing into random colors. Colors she didn't even know was possible for a fire. The clouds were swirling harder and faster now, but every once in a while it would change directions.

The ground beneath them shook. Bill's throne tumbled. The stone covered in blood broke in half.

And Bill was in the center of all the chaos.

He jerked randomly, bruises and scars appeared all over his body. He was also bleeding very rapidly.

In a final lurch, Bill gave one last blood-curdling scream, and collapsed. A small wisp of yellow emitted from his mouth, and he was gone.

The rope bonds fell away from their wrists. And they sat in silence for just a few moments, staring. The once green clearing was now cracked, grey, dry, and barren. The sky no longer swirled, but still held its gloomy grey color. Everything seemed dull and desolate. The only colorful thing was the splash of color Leo gave. And that color wasn't exactly the most inviting color. But it was eye-catching.

A single spec of red. In a world of grey.

Annabeth was the first to get over her shock. She rushed toward Leo's broken body, and instantly analyzed the wounds. She found several broken bones and many severe blows. There appeared to be internal bleeding and his head was covered in so many bruises, she would be surprised if he didn't have brain damage. "Idiot," she hissed. She looked around at her staring friends, just standing there. She threw up her arms, "Don't just stand there! We need to help him! Go get some clean water! Find out where those monsters put the nectar and ambrosia! Go get something to make a sling!"

They continued to stare. Why are they just standing there?

Annabeth checked his pulse. There was nothing. A minor detail. She'll worry about that later. Right now she needs to staunch the blood flow. She ripped up her shirt and covered up the worst wounds. The blood already started to leak though.

A small detail. She'll worry about the blood later. When Leo wakes up, he'll need to be able to move around.

She felt for broken bones. There were several. She ripped up more pieces of her shirt to hold the bones in place. She looked around for something stiff to use as a split. The closest things she found were some twigs.

Minor detail. Minor detail. The twigs will work fine.

She checked the pulse again. No pulse.

That was a minor detail. Minor detail. She started to rip off more pieces of her clothing.

Annabeth felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Percy standing there. He was crying.

Minor detail.

"Good. You came. Listen, Percy, I need you to make bandages for Leo. Leo will need bandages. He's bleeding too much. We need to stanch the bleeding—"

"Annabeth."

"—Or else he will lose too much blood. Also, Leo needs to get to water. We need to clean the wounds before we put on bandages—"

"Annabeth…"

"—Or else he might get an infection. Infections can be more serious than you think. They can give you fevers and sicknesses and pains. And sometimes even death. We need to clean the infections or else Leo might—"

"ANNABETH!" Percy grabbed her shoulder and made her look at him directly in the eye, "Leo is dead!"

Annabeth looked directly into Percy's eyes, and started to tremble. Her lower lip quivered, her hands shook. She fell into Percy's arms, sobbing. Percy slowly rubbed her back, "Sh, sh. It's okay. Everything will be okay. We'll be alright. Bill's gone. We're okay. It wasn't your fault. We're fine. Everything's alright…"

The other Demigods only stared in shock. One by one, they dropped to their knees, wailing. Dipper was comforting his sister. He seemed to have an internal battle, "He didn't even know us… and he saved her… we didn't know him… we didn't even trust him… he saved us… he saved Mabel…"

Stanford and Stanley was ignoring the scene around them. They didn't want to face it yet. Instead, they took care of Soos. The two tried their best to clean the wound, "Okay, Soos, this is going to sting a little. Just hold still…" Soos winced as Ford poured some water on his leg.

Percy just kept patting Annabeth on the back, refusing to look at Leo's broken body. He remembered what Bill said, "COMPARED TO WHAT SPARKS IS GOING THROUGH, THAT WAS A LOVE TAP! GET OVER IT!"

Percy wondered what pain Leo was experiencing, but now he knew. He wasn't sure how it was possible, or why Bill didn't experience it too, but now he knew. Bill had tried to break Leo. But Leo, that idiotic, wild, stubborn Leo, just couldn't let that happen. And he paid for it.

Annabeth wiped her eyes and pushed Percy away, trying to recompose herself. "I'm alright now. We need to focus on other matters. Go find where those monsters put the nectar and ambrosia."

"Do you wanna' come?"

Annabeth took a rattling breath, "I need… I just need a few more moments."

Percy nodded in understanding, "O-okay." He walked off toward the woods, and Frank and Hazel followed him. Everyone else was taking care of everyone's wounds, still unwilling to face Leo.

Annabeth sunk to her knees and rested her head on Leo's chest.

Leo Valdez, was dead.

I know. Terrible cliffy. But don't worry. I'm bringing in someone new next chapter that will make things interesting again. Just bare with me.

Votes:

1. GF/DP: After having a very serious fight with a certain somebody, Dipper is transported to DP's dimension, where he is stuck for several years before finally meeting Danny. But Dipper's like, really untrusting and stuff. A LOT of hurt/comfort and angst. depressed!Dipper. (1)

2. GF/AvatarTLA: Ford is teleported to the Avatar's dimension, but because of his amazing abilities, he becomes very important to the Fire Nation. They force him to do stuff, and Aang finds him and tries to help him escape. I need to know which episodes of ATLA to base this in. Preferably when the Fire Nation is building many machines and Aang is somewhere near/in the fire nation. (2)

3. TMNT/GF: TMNT are captured by the GiW, and they meet a very depressed Danny. (2)
