Author's Note: Hey so, sorry that it has been a while since the first chapter but I'm going to be making one more chapter after this one unless anyone objects. All rights go to Rick Riordan.
Nico's POV
" What? why you want me to help", Jason asked half scared and half honored.
" Because Grace, out of the group you're part of the prophecy to stop Gaea" Nico said, " hey what about me? aren't I part of the prophecy?" Leo asked looking slightly offended
" listen if I could I'd have you both come, but Leo's foot seems to be holding him back from fighting". What he said was true, Leo's left foot was soaked with blood and Nico swore he saw flesh coming out of his shoe, trying not to stare at it he looked at Hazel and said " Hazel I need you and the others to go to the Argo II once your there give Leo some help with his injuries and see if there is anything helpful that might be any use to us."
She looked like she was about to protest but instead she nodded and said " alright I will and Nico be careful ok?". Nico nodded and started to run to where Gaea was with Jason flying over head like Superman, He could see Percy there still choking as Gaea's hand gripped Percy's neck more tightly
Really Nico didn't know why Gaea hadn't killed him yet "maybe she wants to remember the moment that she kills him" Nico thought, and as if she had been reading his mind she looked at him and said ah, dear Nico you don't know what an honor it is for me to be the one to end the sea god's son's life, such greatness shall come from his death do you wish to join? Before Nico answered rocks emerged from the ground, most of them had sharp ends like arrowheads so Nico ducked as they flew outwards, but he one rock cut his arm which he ignored, trying his hardest Nico ran at Gaea, sword ready and managed to slice the arm that was strangling Percy. Golden incor started to flow from the goddess and Nico was relived when he heard Percy gasping for breath
" Percy, you ok?" Nico asked as he went towards him, then Jason called out to them " um, guys I think Queen Dirt face is starting to get angry. But he didn't care at all if Gaea was ready to kill them, the only thing that mattered to Nico was that Percy was alive. And then before any of them knew it more arrowhead rocks flew which several hit Jason and more hit Nico as he tried to shield Percy who was still on the ground try to breath, and as Gaea began to speak again another earthquake started up
How dare you? you little no good son of Hades, I guess now there be more death than I planned, but don't worry your's shall be extra painful.
" You know what Gaea" Nico started to shout at top of his lungs " I don't care if I die right here right now all that matters to me right now is Percy, so Jason help me take care of this mud hag"
he looked at Jason who was amazed that had admitted his love for Percy, but really who cared if the ghost king was gay or not he was most positive that he was going to die. Jason began to summon lighting and as he did so wind began to blow and gradually gaining speed and to anyone's surprise Percy stood up and summoned the waves of the beach close by to him.
"This is it the final battle" Nico thought and began to watch the water, wind, and occasional lightning bolt mix with Gaea's forces of the earth. But she was no match and finally there was a scream from the goddess then Jason swooped down with his battle cry and swung his sword then a spectacular defeat Gaea's form hardened and exploded into giant versions of the arrowhead rocks. Nico saw that Percy's armor was missing so naturally Nico ran at Percy yelling " Get out of the way Percy!".
As he shielded him the giant arrowhead boulder hit Nico so hard and felt so painful that he couldn't feel any other part of his body and everything seemed so distant except Percy's arms supporting him, he was close to his face and he noticed that Percy was crying saying Nico's name over and over again which was also nice since besides Hazel there really wasn't many other people that cared about him so after trying to find his voice he looked directly into Percy's green eyes and said in a startling weak voice " look Jackson I don't know how much time I have so just know that all this time I never hated you it-it was the complete opposite alright, tell Hazel I love her and is the greatest sister ever"
With these words Nico felt himself drift away becoming lighter and lighter, only when he saw Charon in his boat asking for a drachma did Nico truly know that he was dead and began to cry.
