Here, we go another fight scene. Just to clear things up before you start to read, when the story says Piper's imposter and Piper, its the same thing. Just Percy cant tell that he is fighting the real one and not a fake. That's that hope you guys like it.
Percy's hands were bleeding, he was sure that he might have broke one of them trying to break the bones that made up this protective shell. He didn't care, he was tired, and nearly broken, but he wasn't about to let Tartarus win. Knowing full well that the stab wound in his side was probably going to be the end of him, he decided that if he was going to die, he was going to have to make Tartarus work for it.
He slammed one more fist into the dome, hearing a crack. He didn't know if it was his hand or the bone he was punching. Being the son of Poseidon every time he landed a punch he summoned a small earth quake. He heard a small wine sound coming from the ground. He was standing at the top of the bone shell, and he looked at the ground.
The monsters he just recently killed were still trying to vaporize, where they would go from here he had no idea. Although Percy was sure that like his friends that were trying to kill him they weren't real either.
"Isn't this what you want? Me never finding the Doors, never getting out of this hell, never seeing Annabeth again?" Percy shouted, he didn't know if he was yelling at the dying monsters, or the monsters that were impersonating his friends.
He threw another punch at the bone shell, trying his hardest to crack it, he wasn't sure if his strength would hold up with him losing so much blood. He could start to tell that it was taking its toll on him.
He didn't want to admit it, but he could even feel the built up of tears, not that he was afraid he was going to die, he wanted to get out of this hell. He felt ashamed of himself, he made a promise to Annabeth, that he would see her again. He didn't want the last image of her face being the one filled with tears as he fell into the deep blackness.
"I'm sorry." He whispered to himself, hoping that Tartarus wouldn't be able to hear him, "I guess I will just have to see you in Elysian." He said, right when he finished his statement the shell of bones began to move.
Percy figured Tartarus must have been listening, it wasn't going to allow him any sort of heroic death.
Percy jumped off the bone shell, and landed on the ground, waiting for what ever was inside. Hoping that they turned into monsters, he didn't like fighting creatures that looked like his friends, but he wasn't going to let them get away with dishonoring their faces.
When the last of the bones were back into the ground, his heart ached a little when he saw the faces of Piper, Leo, Hazel, Nico, Annabeth, and the still tired face of Jason.
He just stared at them, they all looked like they were on the verge of tears them selves, except Nico and Jason looked more exhausted then the others.
"Percy, would you please hear us out?" The voice of Piper rang in his ears, he knew it all to well.
"Shut up!" He spat, narrowing his eyes, "I am not about to let what ever the hell it is that you are Charm Speak me." He said, then it hit him. He just realized what he was missing, Frank was not among the rest of them. When his brain started to go over where ever he could have gone he felt something underneath him, pushing its way up to the surface.
Percy jumped as high as he could, just in time to see a worm transform into a large snake and lunge at him. Luckily for Percy, he was never afraid of snakes, he sent his foot as hard as he could into the snakes head. Before he was able to make contact a giant ball of fire went right past his face.
He could feel the heat, and smell the hair it singed off. He landed on the ground, without thinking of he grabbed the snake by the tail and slammed it onto the ground. Before it landed, the snake turned back into the image of Frank and he landed on his hands.
Since Percy, was holding his ankles he just kicked Frank's stomach as hear as he could.
The creature let out a loud wheezing sound, as all of its air left its body. Just at that moment another fire ball was thrown at Percy, but instead of dodging it, this one hit him right in the shoulder knocking him off balance. The fire was hot, but he could tell that what ever threw it was holding back, probably trying to make Percy's torture as long as possible.
When Percy looked up at the direction it came from instead of seeing Leo's smoking hands, all he saw was what looked like Piper and Annabeth running right at him.
Piper had her dagger in her hand, and Annabeth had what Percy could only tell was Riptide.
Great, now Tartarus was trying to kill him with his own sword. Percy jumped up, and tried his best to dodge the swings made by Piper and Annabeth's imposters. The attacks seemed slower then normal, even considering he wasn't actually fighting Annabeth or Piper, but still they seemed almost clumsy.
Just then he saw his opportunity, Piper made a small misstep, and stumbled for only a second, but Percy was able to capitalize.
He grabbed her dagger, form her hands and used it to block Annabeth's attack, closing his eyes, he refused to look into hers. He kicked Annabeth as hard as he could in the chest, sending her flying back.
Piper looked horrified, when Percy turned her attention to her.
"Please Percy, you don't need to do this." She said, Percy let go of the dagger, almost like his arm wasn't responding to his head.
He grabbed her by the throat and picked her up, " I will not let you Charm Speak me." He said, trying to kill the monster that looked like Piper. Just then, he coughed up a small amount of blood and felt the pain in his side more then he did before.
His grip loosened a little bit, it wasn't much but it was enough for Piper to catch her breath and scream "Now!"
When he looked behind him all he saw was a gem floating in the air above him that looked enough like a diamond for Percy to know that it was deadly. He saw a small glimpse of Hazel she was crying like she didn't want to do something but that didn't stop her anyways. The rock fell on Percy, hard, and the next thing he saw, was blackness as the world around him faded away.
I know this fight wasn't as good as the last one, so sorry about that. Thank you to all of you that read this story, I think I might make a second one after this depending on how this one ends. I usually just take it one page at a time, anyways hope you guys liked this one.
