Ocean vs Campers and Huntresses: Counterattack, and Final Clash
Axel breathed heavily, while they don't know about what happened during the fight between Thalia and Percy, the son of Hephaestus is smart enough to guess it didn't go well for the daughter of Zeus.
He had ordered his team to do their part of the grand plan, a completely intricate plan where the leaders of the group only know what they need to do and don't know how it will help them. Unfortunately, it's on a need-to-know basis because there is a chance someone would blurt it out if everyone know the plan.
Also, unfortunately, his group is the closest to the battlefield if he remembered the map correctly, which means that there is a chance that Percy will come after him and his teammates' butts. Of course, that is just a low po-
"Hello," never mind, why did he have to jinx it. Axel turned his head to see the stuff of his nightmares, the one that haunted the dream of the demigods, feared and respected by all. Their teacher, Percy.
"Everyone, defensive position!" the son of Hephaestus shouted, the training they've done for their teamwork might be the only thing that can save them because anything else would fall in their teacher's hand. He didn't even bother answering their teacher's hello, focusing instead on surviving.
"Oh, you need to greet someone back you know," their teacher said with a fake hurt tone, causing him and his team to back a bit, watching over themselves so they won't get taken by surprise.
"Well, if you don't want to answer, then I have to punish you," then their teacher when to a tree, touching the trunk before – oh my gods- did he pull out an entire tree?!
"This will do," Percy cheerfully said, before he lit it up on fire, because of course he did. He then jumped upward, his form looked like he wanted to smash the massive burning tree at them, causing Axel to frantically shout.
"Everyone! Combine Barrier!" his shouting thankfully woke the others up from terror, the entire team control their CE to create a powerful Barrier, along with some Shield to help the defense so they won't die from being hit by a flaming wood of death!
Uncaring of the fact they just created several defenses, Percy slammed the tree to his students, causing them to be pushed back, but ultimately, they won, the tree gave away first, shattering into a splinter.
The ones who survived the impact of the flaming tree of doom are still wary though. Their teacher isn't known for doing things incompletely. Holding back, yes. Leaving things unfinished, unless focusing on that is harmful to his overall planning, no. He gets to have some kind of trick.
Unfortunately, they're correct. The splinter from the burning tree floated around him, looking like a bunch of fireflies surrounding their teacher. Except the fireflies are literally on fire and more like bees that wanted to sting them to death.
"Burning Splinter Barrage," his whisper sounded like shouting under the silence of the night. Followed by literal shouting from Axel as the fireball blasted its way toward them.
"Focused on the defense, we need everyone to not hold back or we doomed!" he emphasized the word doomed. Fortunately, they get a clear head and can defend themselves, the fireball barrage pushing them but they can handle it, with slight pushing to be the exception.
"My, you should watch your back too," the words coming behind them caused Axel and his teammate to turn their heads around, seeing their teacher right behind them. Stuck between a hot place and a monster, the group couldn't do anything as their teacher dashed toward them, his fist striking the temple of a son of Athena, who tried to avoid it but to slow.
He then snapped his finger, causing the fireball barrage to grow in intensity, forcing them to focus on their frontal defense, even with a powerful enemy behind them. That proved to be their undoing as Percy took them down one by one, only using his fists and legs.
By the end of it, only Axel left, not because of mercy, but because the fireball starting to lose its intensity. When the fireball stopped, the son of Hephaestus fell to the ground, too tired to do anything as he watched his teacher look at them before he snapped his finger, his eyes seeing darkness as he fainted.
His team might be the first team knocked, but it certainly will not be the last
Laurel looked around with apprehension. So far, 4 teams, each consisting of 5 to 8 demigods had been defeated. Thankfully, they already did their part and the leaders remained, even if they might be tired from fighting them. The leaders will play the most important role if they wanted to win this, so their survival is of the utmost importance, even if the weaker demigods needed to be sacrificed for it.
She looked around, her team had been collecting a few teams that finished their jobs. The only unfinished part of the plan is her team's part which is not truly her fault. The obstacle to finishing her team's part lay in the fact she got the hardest and biggest part, one of the reasons why the leaders ordered her team to collect the team done with their tasks and the team that finished their part to help her.
From the looks of it, she calculate that 70% had been finished. Unfortunately, that mean that 30% remained and they needed to finish fast, or Percy will knock them out and they will truly didn't stand a chance.
She looked at her surrounding, seeing the latest sign of their teacher fighting. The huge ice tower thankfully tells where Percy was a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, they don't know where he went, so they all tried to be as quiet as they can be while creating traps and defenses to buy as much time as possible.
She shocked her head, better for her to focus on her part instead of pondering on what if and where if of their teacher. After all, the strongest campers after the leader, possibly even surpassing some of them, Layla, is here, along with Phoebe, the ace tracker of the huntresses.
With them with her, the chances of their teacher passing undetected will be none, as their teacher clearly said he will be holding back to give them a fighting chance. If it's other people, she probably thought they were looking down on her. Their teacher, however, after seeing him block Thalia's strongest technique, did the right thing in holding back, even if holding back was still too powerful for them to win a head-on fight.
She focused on her CE, trying to complete the next part of her task when Phoebe touch her shoulder. She was about to yell, the anxiety and fear of their teacher almost made her yell at the older huntress. She didn't yell when the other girl pointed to her right.
Twisting her head, her blood froze as she sees another change to the environment, namely the huge tree that is closer than the previous ice tower. She twisted her head back to the huntress, blinking three times before she focused on her task back, this time with a sense of urgency.
Phoebe nodded before she pointed to 3 of the best runners on the team. The newly created squad made up of children of Hermes, all looked a bit pale, but they tried to dispel it, even if fear remained in their minds. They are the new suicide squad, replacing the one that fell to their teacher a minute ago. They could not fail or everything will be lost.
Not even five minutes and a new decoration appeared in the background, this time appearing for a second before it was gone. Then again, keeping a huge ass serpent might be too much of an overkill, even if it's to teach them.
The two strongest of the team looked at each other with worry and uncertainty. They couldn't fight their teacher head-on, they were too valuable for the final phase of their plan. But if they don't stall him long enough for Laurel to finish her part, the plan would be useless.
They nodded at each other, each leading a small group while the one from Laurel's original team will remain with 2 extras for their work to finish faster because if they don't finish it before Percy came crashing down, it will be over.
She needs to work fast.
Percy could sense the demigods in the group. It has the most number of all the groups he took out. Still, numbers didn't mean much if they couldn't take advantage, and he is far stronger, strong enough if he faced everyone at once, even if he restrict himself, he would've won.
That doesn't mean he will not be careful. He never knew what kind of tricks they have and what they do. Instead, he should fight where it will not be advantageous for them because if he goes blindly, there is a chance he would fall into a trap.
His senses scanned the area around him, detecting the incoming demigods, along with an area rife with traps. Of course, he heads where there are traps. After all, if there is a trap, there is a treasure there, probably something they wanted to use against him.
He sensed the demigods coming for him to change their course, chasing after him like a heat-seeking missile. He tried to lose them, only for them to not be swayed by the clone he created. It seemed they have a powerful tracker on the team, likely Phoebe as her tracking skill is the best among the huntresses.
He jumped toward them, the demigods avoiding him quickly before launching Slash at him, which he avoided. He retaliates with his own Slash, cutting down some trees and making his attackers visible. And he is correct, Phoebe has been one of the attackers, along with Layla.
He can defeat those two, but it will take time, one he cannot afford if he wanted to destroy whatever the group is planning. He punched the ground, creating several Stone Sharks the creation hunting the two girls.
Reacting quickly enough, Phoebe focused her CE on her dagger, easily cutting through the shark chasing after her, while Layla created an illusion, causing the shark to chase after 'not her' and destroying it by slapping it on the back with an infused CE hand.
"Now, where did he go?" Phoebe asked the huntress and daughter of Aphrodite realizing their teacher is not there.
"He must be after Laurel," the other girl exclaimed, before quickly sprinting to the daughter of Athena, the huntress chasing after her, unaware of the hidden figure chasing after them.
They reached the place in record time, moving fast enough to get a ticket if they were on the road. Perks of CE and hell under Percy. They looked around, sighing in relief as if nothing was amiss.
"Girls, what happens?" Laurel asked, seeing how the two are clearly exhausted, did they fight against their teacher?
"We lose him, he created a bunch of sharks made from earth and had them chasing after us. We come back because we scared he left us to go after you," Layla explained, Phoebe instead focused on her CE senses before her eyes widened, about to shout when something stopped her.
"Don't worry, I'm here after all," why must the way he spoke it sound so terrifying? Another thing to add in their book of nightmares, assuming they survived this.
They turned around, face to face with a person that going to haunt their nightmare for a looooong time. Oh, gods, why did they agree to fight against him again? Oh right, it's because they genuinely thought they have a chance and it'll be a good way to measure their strength.
"Now, what are you up to?" the fake tone is so fake, even an idiot could have heard it. Unfortunately, the fake tone hid malice, one that targets them until they are knocked out or they flee. Most likely the latter if their teacher is careless enough.
Still, they ready their weapon, eyes focused on their opponent, one they couldn't beat but must fight for the other's sake, so their sacrifice would amount to something. Surprisingly, Percy the one who attack first, who was likely bored of waiting.
Phoebe and Layla engaged him, daggers met against the sword, the girl being pushed back as they tried to hold the boy. The fight goes on for 4 minutes before Laurel shouted, "Girls, it's finished!" the shouting caused the two girls to stop defending. Something their opponent didn't do.
He lashed out a kick, sending the two girls flying before jumping toward the daughter of Athena. Panicking, she slammed her hand to the ground, causing CE from her palm to interact with the thing she created, causing chains to fly towards the son of Poseidon, who swatted it with ease.
"Ah, the Ancient Greek symbol for trap," the son of Poseidon said, recognizing it. "It's a shame this is not enough to hold me," he punched the ground, his fist containing seismic energy, when his fist meet the ground, a powerful earthquake occurred, sending the closer demigods flying.
"Well, now that's broken, how about a little spar?" as he said that, he disappeared, only to appear in front of Phoebe, the huntress barely able to react. Only the quick action of Layla and her reaction time save her, her partner causing their teacher to stagger for a moment, allowing her to avoid the punch.
"Let's get serious," why must Percy say that with the demented smile, seriously, does he letting loss equal to trauma and phobia?! Before Phoebe could question anything further, Laurel pounced onto the son of Poseidon, the younger boy barely reacting but pushing her with the strength of a moving car.
She was sent flying before she smack into a tree, dazed by the impact. Taking advantage, the rest of her team, both original and addition jumped toward the boy, trying to land a hit but apparently the one she did was just a fluke as demigods started to learn to fly, whether they want it or not.
"You two, get out of here! You the one that has the best chance of stopping him!" she shouted, both Layla and Phoebe had a grimace on their face before they nodded, running away from the fight as she watched them, a smile graced her face.
"You do realize, even if they worked together with others, they still won't stand a chance right," she heard her teacher saying, prompting her to twist her head, seeing Percy walking towards her, behind him the 'corpse' of her fellow demigods laid on the ground or on each other.
"Maybe, but they are stronger than me so they have a better chance," the girl shot back, her teacher didn't even bother answering her, likely noticing that she probably tried to stall for time. Her teacher only created a ball of water, it moved like a bullet and hit her temple, darkness claiming her vision.
Percy observed quietly, already seeing the last of his student, clearly trying to bait him to go somewhere. How blatant. Still, he decided to amuse him, knowing he likely is dragged into a trap. After all, he wanted to see if they could create a trap strong enough to beat him.
He was not disappointed, clearly seeing several blatant traps, Ancient Greek words scrawled on the ground, radiating with CE. Those were clearly both traps and diversions, more intricate traps hiding in more hidden places or even underneath the obvious traps.
"You all know what you are doing," he said quietly, enough for the demigods around her to hear him. One by one they appear. Thalia. Luke. Annabeth. Kerry. Matthew. James. Zoe. Jessica. Caleb. Leslie. Billy. Stephan. Phoebe. Layla.
His collection of strongest students, each can hold their own against the Olympians and some of the more powerful minor gods, while capable of defeating some weaker minor gods. While he beat them earlier, it was at the place where they have zero advantage, no enhancement nor preparation made.
Here, they had laid down traps and who knows what in the area. But he won't back down. He's confident of his chances. Though he needs to play it carefully or he will lose.
The first to attack is Billy and Luke, both moving at speed comparable to their father, bouncing around like a pinball, several times coming close enough to strike him but far enough to avoid any attack.
Jessica, Zoe and Phoebe don't play around either. They peppered him with arrows, forcing him to avoid both the arrows and the crazy pinballing son of Hermes. Not to be outdone, Thalia blasted him with lightning as a nice addition of her own.
Bombarded from every side, he decided to become more proactive, first by punching two sons of Hermes, Air Burst blowing through his fist, sending them away before they adjust themselves in midair and landed on their feet.
Before they could join the fray, he unleashed a couple of Hydro Slash, the attack forced everyone to run away, avoiding the powerful attack. But, as he moved to push back, Caleb slammed a huge hammer at him, forcing him to avoid it before he slashed the son of Hephaestus, the older boy used the handle as a temporary shield.
While the weapon could handle the attack, it clearly couldn't help its owner remain on the ground, the forces too strong making Caleb joined the gang of demigods that learned to fly using force.
With him focusing on Caleb, Annabeth, Matthew and James to that moment to attack him, the aura respective of their godly parents flickered before they tried to pound the son of Poseidon to the ground.
Not only did that fail, but he also took that moment to explode in CE, sending them, flying. Of course, that was the exact moment that the one remaining demigod finally make its move. Kerry, Stephan, Leslie and Layla had not joined the attack, waiting for the right moment. Which is now.
Layla struck first, her dagger coming close to the boy, forcing him to dodge. That wasn't over yet, however, as plants come after him like a long snake, forcing him to continue to back away. Then both daughters of Aphrodite come close to him, one that he answers by blasting Ice Spear at them.
Before the retreat, they had let out a cloud of colourful clouds, the best way to describe it, one that hit him. The cloud effect is instantaneous, his emotion started to become haywire, love, anger, sadness, and happiness, all coming at once, forcing him to focus his CE on his heart, trying to calm himself down.
His attempt to weaken the effect leaves him vulnerable, however, as the forest comes to life, vines and trees try to bind him, looking like they wanted to eat him alive. In retaliation, he burned it all down, the fire destroying a large swath of the forest that came after him, before landing on the ground.
It took only a second for him to realise he landed on the wrong spot. The one where the most obvious trap, one that literally a ginormous Ancient Greek Writing, translated as, of course, trap.
Chains flew after him, one that he realises is stronger than before. Did they make the plan on the thought he would step on it because it was so obvious, and did they guess the bigger the sentence, the stronger its effect? He didn't know and couldn't care less right now as he break through the chains before a greater mishap happened to him.
The fourteen demigods had surrounded him, but that didn't make him worried. What makes him worried is the fact they let out some very powerful CE, with the places they stand on, were symbols, symbols of the gods themselves, he realised in horror.
The demigods looked at him, confidence and steely gaze on their faces as they recited a mantra, a powerful, collective one, requiring numbers to add to its power.
Fourteen gods, gathered in the highest of mountains
Named from the oldest to the youngest
Aphrodite, Hestia, Hades, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Zeus
Ares, Hephaestus, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus
The ruler of the Graeco-Roman pantheon
Their collective wrath bring destruction to the world
Fall, fury of Olympians!
Descend of Mount Olympus
A mountain, a pale imitation, but still powerful, of Mount Olympus appeared on top of Percy, the power of it slowly pushing him, pressuring him in many ways, to the point he can't even freely use his CE.
He roared, unleashing more of his power, but ultimately it was futile. The mountain is too strong, to the point even he cannot break free. He had never felt this sense of danger before. Even when he fought against Khione, he knew he can beat her with the restriction he put.
Ultimately, the danger of his fourteen students present is more powerful than what a single minor god can do. He also felt something, something he rarely felt for, one he never thought can resurface as he grows stronger and stronger. Excitement.
The excitement of facing a more powerful opponent and coming on top, winning what should be an unwinnable battle yet still doing it. The thrill of danger, one he never experience since he was blessed by Khione, the goddess of snow's blessing made him stronger than any monsters save for Typhon himself.
Slowly, a grin, one showing both madness and happiness, appeared on his face.
The other gods were about to gloat to Poseidon, about how his son was about to be defeated when they saw him paling. They tried to look at what caused the sea god to pale only to notice the tiny bit of smile on Percy's face.
"What's wrong Poseidon?" the kind elder sister she was, Hestia asked first.
"It's that smile gods the children about to taste his restrained power if he has that smile," the sea god answered, paling even more when the smile grew bigger.
"What are you talking about Lord Poseidon?" Chiron questioned the god, still couldn't see the danger of the smile, yet.
"Percy only smiled like that when he was faced with a serious challenge, a challenge that could kill him but still excite him. The few time he had that smile is when he was sparring with me. Even though he knew he didn't stand any chance, it still thrilled him, at the time when he smiled, he pushed me to the point I need to stop restraining myself so I could defeat him.
Now that he smiled like that, it means he sees the demigods as a challenge, and he will probably release some of his restraint to fight back. I'm not sure if the demigods will not be hurt by the end of it, but they will not be killed, I hope,"
The last statement caused every single person, gods and demigods, plus a centaur and a giant, to pale. Artemis seemed to try to flash to other demigods but failed.
"Why cant I teleport them back to the camp?!" she asked hysterically. Make sense, her huntresses are one of the demigods inside.
"When the other demigods created the imitation of Mount Olympus and restrained Percy, it probably locked the area, making it impossible to teleport into and out of the area," Poseidon explained, remembering when Percy cast the same level of power when he met the rest of his godly family for the first time, the few time his wife and eldest son actually like a demigod son of his.
Then, the sea god shifted his gaze to the screen back. "He's about to break free,"
His words caused the other gods to look at the screen and seeing the son of Poseidon seemed to chant something.
The time when element did not exist
Where energy is in its purest form
Chaos reigned as energy turned to element
Energy turned to water to fire to ice to earth to lightning to wind to wood
The time of turbulent appeared once more
Chaotic Elemental Force: Break
As he uttered one of his more powerful mantras, he exhaled a massive amount of CE, from both his mouth and the pores of his skin, the collected CE is compressed and formed into a powerful orb, one resembling space itself, the inside look as the name said it, chaotic as element turned to one form to another.
Even with how chaotic its inside is, or to be exact because of how chaotic it is, the orb contained vast power, to the point it slowly lift the mountain. The other demigods soon realised it and they tried to push for more power, but failed to do anything as the orb slowly lifted the mountain, when the son of Poseidon stood, lifted his right hand and clench his fist. The simple action caused a very powerful reaction.
The orb erupted in more energy, the force causing cracks to appear on the mountain as it couldn't handle such power, to the point it breaks, the destruction of the mountain causing the demigods to fly from the explosion, the force strong enough to send them flying.
But Percy will not take any chances, as the orb slowly condensed more power from the surrounding CE, he created Sealing Hydro Spear, a technique capable of sealing powerful beings, though that depends on how powerful it is and if more spears are needed.
He looked at the demigods before he headed toward Thalia. That's when he felt something wrong. What, he couldn't be sure but his instinct tell him to check the other demigods. Once again, his instinct is proven correct, as he could see that Thalia's face slowly turned into another person, a daughter of Aphrodite if he is correct.
He checked the others and soon enough, no one is the person he sees the first time. He almost facepalmed, no wonder the power of the lightning strike is so weak. It's because the person is not Thalia that the power is greatly weakened. He's not sure how they do it but he knew he cannot try to find the answer yet as he needs to do the most important thing, finding them.
He didn't need to go far, as they come after him.
"What exactly do you do?" Athena asked, seeing the powerful Mist, it couldn't be anything else as the demigods turned to other persons. The person casting it must be powerful as it could even fool gods.
"Simple, we knew even with that much power, we probably didn't stand a chance so we decided to do a few layer traps. First, we need to create several formations, each gathering and channelling Celestial energy to the true trap. That's what everyone did, and thankfully everyone finished the formations before Percy finished us.
Next, the true trap needs to be hidden, so we decided to make an obvious big one with a connection to the true trap, with several less obvious ones to make his guard come down. Then, the false demigods. We need to use several powerful demigods to make the Descend of Mount Olympus but it cannot be anyone that is close to Percy as he could tell by the fact he didn't kick them out yet.
Besides, the only reason we could do that is that there are children of Hecate in the Hermes Cabin. If it's anyone else, manipulating the Mist to that level is going to be hard. And the only way to make Percy think that is by having the person impersonating the fourteen powerhouses to be able to mimic some of the power they will probably use.
The fourteen powerhouses remained close so they can sell out the fact that he was fighting his strongest students. That can only work on the assumption that Percy believes his strongest students will be the person that going to last until the end. Which he did. So we good on that one."
The explanation clearly bamboozled the gods. "That's a very complex plan that is probably the only way possible to win against Percy," Poseidon complimented, clearly surprised by the intracity of the demigods' plan.
"We know. Any plan half-assed will lead to us losing," Laurel replied, clearly knowing their limitation against their teacher.
"A quick question, where are they at?" Ares's question was answered by an image of several demigods, clearly waiting for something, leaping into their teacher.
"Apparently there," Apollo drawled, before focusing on the screen, waiting for the more interesting part to occur.
The surprise of the demigods took him, well, by surprise. Clearly, they planned for all of it, even with the fact they need to sacrifice many demigods. Still, Percy won't make it easy for them, like he will release more of his power.
Apparently, they went all out as they stepped into the circles where the previous demigods were and channelled their CE, causing the broken mountain to return to its previous undestroyed form and slamming onto him.
He fought back, Chaotic Elemental Force had recharged itself from both his own CE and CE from the surrounding. He was about to launch it when his strongest students amplified their CE! How on Gaia did they do such a thing?!
"I know Zoe is strong, along with Phoebe, but how did they release that much Celestial energy?" Artemis asked the demigods, who from the looked on their faces clearly know the answer.
"Send a familiar to the sky, as in above the treeline. Then you see," Chiron did as the daughter of Athena suggested before the screen was filled with an astonishing sight.
"So that's what you planning," the sea god said. On the screen, several different places seemed to light up. However, on closer look, several different Ancient Greek were on it, with several channels forming from the words to the place where they fighting.
"You use the Celestial energy from the place around the island to power up the formation," Athena concluded, her silent question answered by a nod.
"What are their chances of winning Poseidon?" Hera asked. While she dislikes demigods, she couldn't help but agree the fight is interesting.
"50% and I'm being generous. Because if Percy used his full strength, the fight would be over already," the answer seemed to shock the gods but the demigods looked like they had been expecting a such answer.
"You knew?" Hermes asked one of his sons, who nodded.
"Believe me when I said this, if Percy decided to unleash his full strength, even a major god would be hard-pressed. Now, he still holding back for the sake of teaching but with how much they pushed him, he might want to unleash more and more of his strength, just to let loose,"
Poseidon's words caused the others to look at the demigods on the screen, only just registering how much of a threat he could be.
As Percy was pushed to the ground, he was clearly in pain but that didn't stop a smile from forming on his face. Before he could push back the mountain again, Thalia unleashed one of her more powerful techniques.
"Lightning God Punishment," several streams of lightning hit the mountain, pushing it back, even more, forcing the son of Poseidon to buckle up even more.
Before he could do anything else, Luke, Billy and Phoebe appeared, having hidden their presence to come close to the son of Poseidon. Realising what their presence could mean, he unleashed several powerful elemental blasts from his elemental orb, making the trio back away, but not unsuccessful in their mission.
With his attention occupied for a second, Kerry and Stephan make their moves, jumping near him before unleashing their combined technique.
"Plant God Restraint," thick vines and plants escaped from the ground, surrounding the son of Poseidon who answered it with his own technique, "Inferno Burst," as the flames burned the plants to the ground, the smoke and fire hid four others, waiting for the right moment.
"Pressure of War Gods," both James and Matthew spoke, the aura of both Athena and Ares pressing against Percy, who began to struggle even more before another two make their moves.
"Binding of Wisdom/Trap of Forge," both Annabeth and Caleb said respectively, ropes bind his thighs and torso, while giant handcuffs trap his hands and legs.
"Illusion of Love," not to be outdone, the duo of Aphrodite Cabin did their, not the most dangerous, but definitely powerful move, designed to make him space out for several seconds.
The last person to make a move, as their technique is best when their opponent didn't realise it or immobilize, Jessica and Zoe, had nocked their arrow, waiting for the right moment to injure him. Even before the rest make their moves, they had been gathering CE for this final move.
"Arrow of Sun/Arrow of Moon," instead of the combined technique they used earlier, they decided to use both strongest techniques, before releasing it to their teacher.
They target his legs, and the arrow pierced through them, causing him to scream. Before they could even celebrate or even do anything, the orb of elements Percy created seemed to increase its mass, before it fly upward, hitting the mountain.
Before the others could supply it with more CE, the orb exploded, causing them to shield their eyes. Only when the explosion subsided did they open it once more. To their surprise, they see their teacher unharmed, even though he was at the centre of the explosion.
Before they could do anything, they fell the formation they created was destroyed, at the same time as Percy snapped his finger, making it obvious who was the culprit. As they tried to gather more CE, Percy clapped.
"Looks like you win,"
