Hey guys, here is the new chapter! It was quite fun to write! So now I will be answering peoples reviews:
Captainforkz: Oh my gosh! A cliffhanger! Another amazing chapter! Thank you! I actually found that chapter a little hard to write, mostly becuase it was from Nico's p.o.v! So thank you!
SunnySketcher11: How interesting. May I ask why Percy keeps getting hurt and nOt Annabeth? Well, Percy's personality is that he would rather sacrifice the world to save a friend. So in order to keep Annabeth safe, he would rather use his body as a shield. So that means he will get hurt a lot, just to keep Annabeth safe.
So that's all, remeber, please review, I like to hear your guys opinion on how the story is!
Jason
Great, just great! Dracanae, being flown by robotic pigeons! Jason couldn't help but want to smack the life out of Leo, just because he couldn't smack Vulcan. Those stupid pigeons were carrying the Draecanae. The Draecanae are women, their upper half is human, while their lower body is two snake bodies. They were armed with spears and shields, while wearing leather armor. Jason pulled out his Gladius, Frank gripped his bow, Hazel pulled out her spatha, Leo took out a screwdriver, and it turned into a xĂfos, Nico took out his Stygian blade, Piper took out Katoptris, and finally Coach Hedge took out his bat.
They were as ready as they could ever be, problem is, there was about twelve Dracanae. This was going to be an uneven battle, but what did that matter. Since when are battles not uneven! Jason thought, smirking. "Why are you smiling Jason?" Piper asked, undoubtedly curious.
"Since when are battles not uneven, that's what I was thinking." Jason replied.
"Oh." was all she said. Jason couldn't help but notice that Piper looked a little nervous. Jason grabbed her hand, trying to comfort her. She smiled at him appreciatively, so Jason let go. The Dracanae were about twenty yards ahead, and he could see them very clearly. They looked just like the legions of Dracanae from the assault on Mount Othrys. That was the same battle where Will got killed, sacrificing himself to destroy Mount Othrys. Jason shook his head to clear his mind, I can't let myself get distracted thinking of the past. Frank knocked an arrow, aimed carefully, and released. The arrow flew to the Dracanae on the far right, and she went down. He quickly knocked another arrow, aimed at the next one, and fired, another Dracanae disintegrated. He has really good aim. Jason was impressed that someone so bulky could have such great accuracy.
"Good shot." he said, complimenting Frank.
"Thanks." Frank replied. He quickly drew an arrow, but one of the Dracanae threw her spear. Jason watched it, like it was in slow motion, as it sailed towards Frank. Frank looked horrified as the spear got closer, and went straight into his left shoulder. Frank gave out a silent scream, and fell down back wards, his hand shakily grabbing the spear. Frank's blood was gushing from the wound, Coach Hedge was already next to him. Coach Hedge picked Frank up, grumbling about missing the fight, and brought him below decks.
Hazel started to follow the, but Jason grabbed her shoulder and said, "We need you here, CoachHedge can handle it." Hazel nodded, and went back to her spot by Nico. The pigeons were now over the Trireme, and dropped the Dracanae. The Dracanae immediately charged as soon as they landed, and the Demigods charged at them. Jason began fighting the one in the center. He blocked a stab at his chest, rolled under her shield slam, and swung upwards, cutting off her arm. She screamed out, and he finished her off with thrust to the head. Another Dacanae took her place and tried to stab again, this time, it it left a small cut on his ribs. He swung at her head, and she blocked it, and attempted to stab him again, which he rolled to the right. He got up and threw his Gladius at her, it nailed her in the chest, and she exploded into powder.
He grabbed his Gladius, and saw Piper on the ground, with a Dracanae about to finish her off. He ran towards her, and then deflected the spear while it was traveling downwards. While the Dracanae was distracted, Jason stabbed it in the ribs, and it disintegrated. He helped Piper up, and she smiled at him. What she did next surprised him, she kissed him. He was definitely shocked, and stood there for a second. It felt like his brain turned to mush, and he wanted to stay like that, but then Leo yelled, "Earth to Jason and Piper! A little HELP!" it shocked him out of his trance. He looked over and saw that Leo was bleeding from his left arm, and he was trying to fight two Dracanae. Leo swung at the one on the left, and caught it in the throat. But that was a mistake, becuase it left his stomach open for the one on the right. Jason watched in complete horror as the second Dracanae impaled Leo in the stomach.
Leo's face turned pale, and blood began dripping from his stomach. Jason stood there, shocked for a moment. Then rage took over and he charged at the Dracanae, and leaped into the air, and slashed the Dracanae, slicing it in half, up and down length. It blew up, but Jason was completely focused on Leo. "HEDGE! HEDGE! GET UP HERE!" he yelled as loudly as he could. Jason took off his shirt, and cut it in half. Then he put both halves of the shirt on either side of Leo, trying to stop the bleeding. Coach Hedge came up, saw Leo, and he paled. He quickly grabbed Leo, broke the spear shaft, put him over his shoulder and went below decks. Jason was now filled with complete rage, and so was everyone else, the rest of the Dracanae didn't stand a chance.
The battle was quickly finished, and all the Dracanae were now piles of dust, so Jason used the wind to get rid of their weapons and dust piles. Afterwards, he and everyone else, went below decks to check on Leo and Frank. Frank was fine, his shoulder wrapped up in bandages. It was mostly Leo who everyone was worried for, he was unnaturally pale, and his whole abdomen was wrapped in bandages. Leo looked so helpless, so fragile, looking like he was. He was breathing, but very faintly.
"Everyone," Coach Hedge said, his voice sounded strained, "Leo probably won't be up for a while."
"Why?" Nico asked.
"Becuase, he's in a coma." Coach Hedge replied...
So here's the new chapter! Sorry to leave it at a cliffhanger, but I thought it would be appropriate to leave one right here!
