Leo

Leo listened carefully as Jason spoke.

"My dad agreed, as I said, but now he has specified what we have to do, as we are in his debt. We have to stop some 100 – armed giants, apparently they are working for Gaia."

Annabeth interrupted, frowning. " You mean hekatonkheires? That can't be right. Percy and I met one about 3 years ago. But Briares was a good person. He can't be working for Gaia!"

Jason shrugged. "That's what my dad told me. He said we would find them nearby." He gave Leo the co-ordinates, who then relayed them to Festus.

"Now we just have to wait for Percy." Leo said. At his words, a completely dry Percy burst out of the water and landed feet first on the deck.

"Hey," he said casually, as Leo grinned, shaking his head.

"I bet you were waiting for a good moment to do that." Leo laughed.

Percy shook his head in mock protest, before he continued. "My dad agreed. But he said to repay this act, we have to stop some Hekatonkheires." He turned to face Annabeth. "It's not Briares. Remember his two dead brothers? They came back through the doors of death, and now they work for Gaia." Annabeth slowly nodded. Leo quickly asked Festus, who was working now, to take them to the Hekatonkheires. Soon they were skimming the calm water.

"How long until we get there?" Hazel asked.

"'Bout ten minutes, according to Festus. Get ready to face some spaghetti giants."

Leo walked to the deck of the ship, and watched as the ship sailed. In the corner of his eyes, he saw Percy and Annabeth walk below deck hand in hand. He suddenly realised they were the only couple on board. Frank and Piper were gone, leaving Jason and Hazel. And Leo… he couldn't stop thinking about Calypso. He swore to himself the minute Gaia was dead, he would go get her. No matter what it took.

…..

"We've arrived!" Leo announced. The ship was now docked at the tip of a thin strip of land that jutted out from the main land. Standing about halfway through the peninsula were three giants. They seemed to be arguing furiously, and hadn't noticed the demigods. They were about 20 feet tall, and at their sides sprouted spaghetti-full's of long, tangled rope-like arms. The demigods got off the ship and went towards the giants.

Annabeth's eyes lit as she ran towards one. "Briares!"

Briares turned around and almost stumbled back in surprise. "Annabeth! Percy! What are you doing here?"

Before she could answer, the other two giants roared in fury. The biggest one swiped at the demigods, nearly hitting Leo in the face. Luckily, Jason used the winds to push them all back.

"Gyges!" Briares roared. "Stop it! These are my friends."

The smallest one snarled. "But they are not our friends. Our allegiances lie with our mother Gaia, unlike you, you traitor!" He bellowed and hurled rocks at Briares.

"No Cottus! Stop! We must fight for the Gods!"

The two other ignored him, and continued chucking boulders the size of cars. Leo shot a jet of flame to try and stop them hurting Briares. Immediately the two giants dropped the rocks and ran, awestruck to the flame.

Briares stayed and watched as his brothers fought to touch the flame. He almost seemed embarrassed. "They have loved fiery light ever since they've been in Tarturus. You get a lot of it there." He rolled his eyes.

"Wow." Leo muttered, "They're like children scrapping over a flame. Big, fat, ugly children. But children all the same."

Annabeth cut him short, "Wait! I've got a plan!"

…..

Leo ran behind the hekatonkheires, knowing that Hazel was covering his and Annabeth's back, by manipulating the mist. Now it appeared that both Annabeth and him were still there and fighting, when they were really here. While the hekatonkheires attacked Percy, Jason and Hazel; he would set some wood on fire. Using her drakon – bone sword, Annabeth gathered the wood, and Leo immediately blasted it with red -hot flames. The wood erupted with fire.

Gyges, the biggest of the three, turned round and chased the fire. Just then Briares grew in size and jumped on Gyges' back. Gyges collapsed, and they rolled around fighting. Cottus, too caught up fighting Percy, Jason, Hazel and imaginary Annabeth and Leo, didn't notice the flame.

Following Annabeth's plan, Leo then set more wood on fire, He did this twice, both times gradually getting closer to the sea, until he reached water. Then Percy, who was diving out of the way of a particularly large boulder, darted to the water; and disappeared beneath the surface.

Finally Cottus, who had been watching Percy, was attracted to the flame. As he turned and ran towards the flame, Jason shoved the air, increasing the pressure. Cottus stumbled, and before he could stand up, Percy brought a wave the size of two houses down on the giant.

Just then Briares was pinned down by Gyges, but Gyges was once again racing towards the flame. Briares used this advantage to strap Gyges down with his numerous arms. Jason leapt from the sky, sword in hand, about to stab Gyges.

"STOP!" Leo cried. He smiled, "we could do with some ugly babies on Team Leo. No seriously they could help."

Percy refrained from cutting Cottus' head off and the wave he had been surfing receded.

"But how can we trust them? They almost killed us!" Hazel asked.

"We make them swear on the river Styx." Leo said simply. "And if they don't agree, then we kill them." He gestured at Percy and Jason.

Briares nodded. "That is good idea from flame boy." He kneed Gyges.

Leo looked at the giants. "Now promise to be good boys you two."

Cottus snarled, but in union they swore to help the gods.

At that moment, there was a clap of thunder, and Zeus stood before them. Or was it Jupiter? Leo couldn't be sure. "You have succeeded," he said, his face stony. He didn't seem particularly happy. "Meet us at the island of Aiginas. Your dragon will know where it is. There the fate of this war will be decided."

Hope you enjoyed a bit of Team Leo! Tell me whether you like the chapter or not. Now review!
