Poseidon made to run up to the stone Athena, but a multitude of hisses diverted his attention.

"Nelly." He said coolly, trying to restrain his boiling anger.

"Poseidon." She purred.

Medusa was standing behind the five gods, black shades on, and little snakes for hair. None of the gods but Poseidon had the nerve to turn. Aphrodite looked like she was going to cry. Ares was being restrained by Hera, who knew he would turn around and try to kill everybody. Zeus looked ready to throw a lightning bolt or two, but with a look from Hera, he stopped trying to undetectably get a lightning bolt out of his belt.

"You look good, just as always, don't you?" Medusa said smoothly. Poseidon stared at her with a stony expression (no pun intended).

"What did you do to her?" He roared. Medusa pouted.

"That featherbrain? I gave her what was coming to her." Poseidon felt his features downgrade into a scowl. Medusa strode past the other gods, who were still stiff as a board. Then, as she got closer to Poseidon, he backed up towards the other gods. Then, Medusa stood in front of Athena.

"You know you can't save her. Once a rock, always a rock." Poseidon felt his heart stop for a moment. Just thinking of that possibility made him shudder.

"Move, Nelly, and I won't hurt you." He said. Poseidon heard an outraged cry from Ares, which was instantly silenced by Aphrodite's hand. Medusa pouted again, and said,

"Oh, but why would I let you rescue the person who made me so ugly?" She was about five feet away from him now.

"Nelly, I really don't want to hurt you. Please move." She smiled.

"Oh, fine." She did move-closer to him. Poseidon wanted to slice her head off. But there was a good chance he'd miss. Now Medusa was close enough that (god forbid) he could kiss her. But that relationship was completely (if it hadn't been before) gone the second Athena had gone from flesh to stone. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He felt quite uncomfortable.

"Hiyahh!" Ares was shooting his Death Machine. The Celestial Bronze just went right through her. She didn't disintergrate. The bullets went through her and ricocheted off the stone Athena's leg. They bounced into the fountain. She couldn't be slayed by Celestial Bronze.

This wasn't going to be easy…

"Nelly, this is your last chance. Leave now, Nells." He used her old nickname in hopes that she'd let go. Yeah…right!

"I don't think so. This is too much fun." She stated. He heard something clatter to the ground. It was his trident. He cursed internally.

Suddenly, Hermes flew from the direction of the palace.

"Poseidon, here!" He dropped an Imperial Gold sword, which was caught in Poseidon's outstretched hand. But Medusa yanked it out and tossed it to the side. Poseidon groaned. There was no hope now. She took off her shades.

His own glasses prevented Poseidon from turning to stone, but he still didn't take a chance and look into her eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his five godly friends. They positively radiated despair and hopelessness. He felt the hopelessness enter him too. Then, in a moment of sheer Percy worthy impulsiveness, he looked into Medusa's eyes. They didn't affect him (thanks to Aphrodite). The color was very familiar.

They were a gray. The same, stormy, beautiful gray as Athena's. Right then and there, he vowed to himself he would see those eyes-Athena's eyes- roll at his stupidity again. A surge of courage ran through him and he pulled out of the embrace, grabbed the sword, and sliced her head right off.

He heard applause, but it was muted by the pounding in his ears. He turned to Athena. It was not Athena un-stone again, as he'd rashly hoped. Athena was still stone.

Well, Medusa's gone. But her work isn't. Will Poseidon break her spell?

Oh, and Nelly (the name Poseidon used for Medusa) means stone in Greek, and Medusa can't have been her real name. So…I chose that one! Little info right there…

Reviews=happy writer=more writing=happy readers.

Oh, and I don't own Pjo.

Athena: Good. I better turn back to myself next chapter or I will slowly kill you.

You're still a statue, remember?

Athena: Darn you! goes back to being a statue
