Chapter 9

A/N: Just to let you all know, the sequel has been decided. Tell you what, once I finish the sequel, I will start the Thalico story. Be ready, be very, very ready.

Percy: Finally, it's Halloween. I can't wait for tomorrow.

Annabeth: I can't wait too. Nico scared the Hades out of me last night. He accidentally shadow traveled into my cabin late at night, and I freaked out. He was lucky I didn't have a bat.

Nico: I took a wrong turn in China. I was supposed to head to Greece, but someone gave me wrong directions.

Percy: Dude, its south of Russia, and west of Iran. Not the other way around, even I know that.

Nico: Well sorry! Why don't you try using shadow travel without Mrs. O'Leary?

Me: It will probably be like this for a while. While they finish this up, let's finish this story.

3rd POV:

Everything was going great until Kronos appeared. Percy was just setting up the rocket that handled the cure, but then the Lord of Time came along.

Percy uncapped Riptide, Thalia drew her bow, and Lou Ellen whipped her wand out. "Let her go Kronos!" he demanded.

Kronos smiled. "Puny demigods! You really think you can force me to do your bidding for the sake of a single mortal? Amusing! I will take great pleasure in torturing you for eternity!" he boomed.

Thalia nocked her first arrow. Because she was a child of Zeus, she was given special arrows that harnessed her powers. That means that she can shoot small lightning bolts to match her father's power. "Put her down, grandfather! This is your last warning!"

Kronos gripped his scythe. "With pleasure, grand-daughter!"

Without warning, Kronos tossed Annabeth into the air. Percy's eyes flashed with anger, and he unknowingly willed a wave to rise. Annabeth screamed at the top of her lungs. As she came down, Kronos readied his scythe. Percy lost complete control of his emotions, and complete rage built up inside him. "PERCY!" Lou Ellen screamed.

He let go of the wave, and it crashed into the transparent form of Kronos. He was knocked off of his feet and spitting out water. "I got her!" Lou Ellen said.

With a wave of her wand, Annabeth turned grey, and turned into an owl. Annabeth regained her balance after turning into a bird, and flew toward her boyfriend. She was turned into a special grey owl with black spots all over her body. Her wings looked majestic.

Percy looked at her, and smiled. "Who's a bird brain now?" he asked.

Big mistake. Annabeth looked angry, and pecked at Percy's head. He smiled. "Achilles curse, remember?"

She looked him in the eyes, and there was a familiar glint in her eyes. Before Percy could react, Annabeth flew to his back, and pecked at his Achilles spot. Electricity surged through Percy's body and Lou Ellen laughed. Percy glared at her, and she stopped laughing. With a wave of her wand, Annabeth turned back into a human.

"Don't think I won't forget that, Seaweed Brain," she said.

Percy smiled, and turned back to Kronos. "Smart, little demigods. Since we are using our powers, mind if I use mine?"

With a wave of his hand, Kronos froze the entire island with his magic. Percy and his friends were completely shocked, and Lou Ellen was frozen in the middle of her spell. Kronos boomed with laughter. "Never challenge me to a fight when you know you will lose," he said.

He raised his scythe, and prepared to reap their souls. Percy had enough strength to close his eyes, and waited for death. Kronos let out his war cry, and brought down his mighty weapon.

Before the blade touched them, Kronos was blasted in the face with a purple shot of energy. Lou Ellen's wand was glowing at the tip, and Kronos's magic was lifted. Percy willed another wave to rise while Thalia aimed her arrows at Kronos. "For Zeus!" she cried out.

She let loose her arrow, and it struck Kronos in the chest. The lightning bolt exploded upon impact, and left a pretty nasty mark. Percy released his wave, and it crashed into the Titan Lord of time.

Kronos roared, and raised his scythe high in the air. Annabeth's eyes widened and she pulled out her costume's pistol. Annabeth took into account that something might happen that may stop them from curing the camp, so she got the Hephaestus cabin to help her re-design the pistol. She aimed and fired her first Celestial Bronze bullet at Kronos' hand.

He roared in pain as he dropped his scythe. Seeing the perfect opportunity, Percy ran, and caught the weapon. "Got it!" he yelled.

Annabeth studied his motives, and quickly understood why he captured his weapon. Kronos' wound quickly healed, but the absence of his weapon alarmed him. "Return my weapon to me at once!" he commanded.

Percy smiled. "Come and get it!"

Kronos roared, but didn't move. "You are worthy to be a child of Athena, Percy Jackson, but you are too late. You see, there was nothing wrong with the Hecate potion, I forced the Hecate child to put in dragon blood instead of Drakon blood, and I mixed the ingredients. Your petty cure will do nothing to stop my forces from rising!" he boomed.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Kronos smiled, and snapped his fingers. In the distance, many cries of fear arose from Camp Half-Blood. "My minions will quickly overtake your petty camp, and Olympus will be without any assistance. They are sitting ducks, and I will personally destroy them myself!"

Percy rolled his eyes. Typical villain monolog, he thought to himself. (It gets annoying how they always shout out their evil plot, huh?)

Lou Ellen raised her wand. "Cure or no cure, your reign of terror ends tonight!" she shouted.

Percy and Thalia smiled. She would be great in the Hunt, thought Percy.

Kronos smiled, and extended his hand at Percy. The scythe slowly started to heat up, and escaped from Percy's grip. It flew into the Time Lord's hands, and the blade glowed purple.

"You cannot win demigods. Even if you reign victorious tonight, I will eventually have my revenge against the children of Olympus. Mark my words, you cannot win!"

Annabeth froze. Why did he say children of Olympus and not just us?

Before she could figure it out, Kronos raised his scythe again. Thalia shot another arrow into his face, and it charred his snout. He nearly dropped his scythe, but he held it firmly.

Kronos growled, and reached for Percy. He dropped Riptide as he was carried out.

"You have made very powerful enemies, son of Poseidon. My sons are weak compared to me, yet they maintain the order in the world. Let's see what happens when Poseidon's only son dies in his territory," he said.

Without warning, he threw Percy across the Long Island Sound. "PERCY!" Annabeth screamed.

He skipped across the surface of the water, and was dragged to a stop. The sea caught him like he was a baseball. The waves bended around him as he quickly recovered from his ordeal.

Kronos laughed, but he looked up to see an undead Percy. "Eh? What is this? My own son won't allow his mortal son to be sacrificed to the sea?"

Percy looked up, and was able to faintly see Kronos at full height. He slowly approached him with his scythe in hand. The waves were slowly building up behind him, and a crazy idea formed in his head. He reached into his pocket, and uncapped Riptide.

"For Poseidon!" Percy yelled.

He encased himself with water, and held his power back for him to fully execute his crazy plan. He planned to use himself as a bullet, and pierce Kronos in the void where his heart should be. He raised his sword, and kicked off of his wave.

The blast was stronger than his little trip from Mt. Saint Helens. His explosion created a sonic boom as he flew through the air. He knew that somewhere out there, Zeus was amused with his courage. He held his sword firmly, and thrusted it into Kronos' chest.

Kronos roared in pain as Ichor poured out into the sea. Father Poseidon, accept the blood of Kronos for the cure to the Pure Fear spell, Percy muttered to himself.

The midnight blue sea turned green, and the smell of salt water intensified in his nostrils. Percy smiled, and dug his sword deep into his chest. He jumped off his grandfather, and dropped into the ocean. "THALIA, NOW!"

Luckily she knew what to do, and nocked an arrow. Without time to aim, she let loose her lightning bolt, and Zeus' power dug itself deep into Kronos' wound, making it harder for him to heal.

Kronos roared in absolute pain. Annabeth and Lou Ellen smiled, and aimed their weapons. Annabeth discharged her weapon first, and was quickly followed by a purple energy blast from Lou Ellen's wand. Both of the projectiles lodged themselves into the wound, and deepened his fatal blow.

Kronos roared again. "Impossible! I cannot be defeated by some puny demigods! Not again!"

His legs slowly turned to dust. "Beware, demigods, I will have my revenge soon enough! I am not the only one who wishes to partake in the blood of the Savior of Olympus. Mark my words…!"

Before he could finish, his essence was dissolved into the ocean as a sacrifice to Poseidon. Right at that moment, the rocket started to warm up next to Lou Ellen.

"We did it!" Lou Ellen cheered.

The rocket blasted off, and flew toward Camp Half-Blood. When the rocket exploded over the Big House, the change already began. Shades of the purest fears slowly dissolved, wailing in defeat. The weed-whacker ghoul dissolved, and the spider queen roared in agony as it dissolved into the darkness. The cure worked, Camp Half-Blood was safe.
