AU: I didn't really like my writing in the fic since I think I suck at writing battle scenes. Anyways, here's the next chapter :D and don't forget to REVIEW! This Chapter is Kinda on the short side though so sorry :))

XI- We're In It This Time

What I saw was monsters. Laestrygonian giants, demigods, you name it. They we're composed of around three groups there we're around 150 in all. Annabeth suddenly tugged my back. I realized that I was already walking towards them, walking towards my doom.

"Are you crazy?!" She whispered pulling me back to her side.

"I didn't notice." I said still baffled by the monsters.

"We set our camp here. Remember Percy, we are just here to spy" She said explaining every word like I was a squirrel.

"Yeah, I know" I replied. Although knowing I might be going on a fight single-handedly.

So we set up camp and I found a dried out creek nearby. I willed the water back to it and filled out our water bottles. I guess being a son of Poseidon has benefits too.

We we're watching them for hours on end. Also Iris messaging the camp for updates and such, and before we know it. It was already dusk. We had told Chiron about Jake being gone and such and he just nodded and said that we should be careful of our actions. We had one gold drachma left and we agreed only to use it on an emergency.

The monsters were talking, setting up camps with some demi-gods and I knew what was happening what was going on. This is the work of our old enemy.

"This is the work of Kronos" I said to Annabeth still acknowledging the fact that Kronos is already regenerating after everything we did to him last year.

"Well duh." Annebeth said rolling her eyes

"Don't do anything stupid seaweed brain." She added.

I just nodded gently and went back to watching the crowd below. They were talking and sharpening weapons then a horn blew. A horn that sounded like the horn at camp, all the monsters and demigods alike went silent and went to their respective groups

And then a figure went atop a peak near a hill overlooking the group of monsters. I looked at Annabeth who had the binoculars at that time. She looked pale as if she had seen a ghost she looked at me with a worried face.

"You better take a look at this." She said handing me the binoculars. I took them without hesitation and focused it on the figure on the hill. I had mixed emotions at that time. Anger, fear, sorrow, disgust and a lot more, the person I saw was Jake Matthews.

At that moment I didn't think. I stood up making Annabeth glare at me.

"Stay here and be safe." I said to Annabeth running towards the monsters. It was a stupid move I know. I heard Annabeth yelling something at me but I was too far out of hearing range to understand anything. The next thing I know I was hacking and slashing around monsters disintegrating them at every slash of riptide.

Weapons deflected on my skin like their swords are made out of rubber. I was now heading towards Jake now staring at me. I only now had realized that his eyes were glowing gold. I shivered at the sight of it because the last time I saw it, it was from Luke's eyes. That medieval gold light, how I hated it.

He was being controlled by Kronos. All of my anger dissipated and at that split second. I felt a tug on my hand. I looked down at it and found a shackle. I felt a tug at my other arm. Another shackle I looked from where it's coming from. It was from demigod archers firing arrows that had shackles at the back end of it. I struggled with every bit of my strength to pull it off but to no avail.

I was trapped, a Laestrygonian giant was carrying me towards the front of the hill. I looked up and I saw those medieval gold eyes that pierced right through me. It wasn't Jake I was looking at. I was looking at the Lord of Time himself, Kronos.
