A/N: OK so first of all, I have decided that there will NOT be a Percabeth pairing in this story. Sorry to all those who wanted it to be Percabeth but I just think that it's been overused and I wanted to do something different. Don't worry, I won't use the same Annabeth-cheats-on-Percy-with-his-half-brother plot. I've removed Annabeth from the poll but I've added another couple of choices. Also, I appreciate people putting their choices in their review but it would be better to vote on the poll. Even people who do not have fanfiction accounts can vote so please vote.

Anyway, here is the next chapter. It's from Annabeth's POV.

ANNABETH

I was fighting with my mom against the Giant Pallas. Most of my siblings had already been knocked unconscious and I was really tired.

We have been fighting now for at least a few hours and Pallas showed no sign of stopping. I had come up with a strategy that I usually use when Percy and I are fighting together. I had been in mental contact with mom ever since the fight started so I mentally told my mother to attack Pallas head on and keep him busy while I sneak up on him from behind.

All the complex strategies that my mother had devised so far had failed, so why not try a simple one for a change. My mother agreed and lunged straight at Pallas with unbelievable speed with her shield and spear in hand. I started moving sideways when I was sure he wouldn't notice. I crept up behind him and caught my mother's eye. I nodded to her. This was similar to what we had used against Leon and I hoped it would work.

My mother rolled to the side and slashed Pallas' knee, bringing him to one knee and I leapt up on his back, scrambling up to his shoulders with my knife in hand. As I expected, he immediately jerked backward and when he stopped I stabbed my knife into the side of his head. At the same time, mother buried her sword hilt-deep in his stomach. Without a sound, he slumped sideways and disintegrated into dirt leaving behind his skin. My mother pointed at it and it vanished.

Then she looked at me and the look in her eyes made it all worth it. The look was pride. My mother Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy, was proud of me. There was nothing that compared to the feeling I was having now. Then she turned to her right and I, too, turned to see what she was looking at.

I saw Porphyrion holding his own against 5 Olympian Gods and 5 demigods. But when I focused on the demigods, what I saw made no sense. Percy seemed to be attacking the other 4 demigods – Jason, Thalia, Nico and Clarisse. I looked at my mom and she was just as confused as I was. Together, we rushed forward towards Porphyrion.

When I got closer I knew that the 4 demigods stood no chance. Percy was in full battle mode, as he liked to call it. He whirled and slashed at the 4 of them, who were on the defensive. I could tell by their faces that they were just as confused as me and were trying to say something but they were too busy holding off Percy's constant attacks.

Suddenly, he kicked Jason in the chest and slammed his hilt on Clarisse's helmet in the same move. He then hit Thalia in the side of the head by the flat of his sword and disarmed Nico. In less than 2 seconds, he knocked out 3 of the most powerful demigods I knew and had the 4th one at his mercy. He was about to stab Nico in the heart when I screamed, "PERCY!" That startled him and for a moment his sword arm went slack but then it stiffened again and stabbed downwards. But, the momentary distraction had given Nico the time to shadow travel out of reach.

I ran towards him, ignoring my mother's warning shout. He whirled around and I faltered. His face was twisted into the most horrible snarl and was filled with hate. But, there was something else wrong. His eyes! Instead of the usual sparkling sea green, they were brown, almost red.

Then he spoke and instead of Percy's beautiful voice, it was an ancient and powerful voice, the voice of a woman, the voice of Gaea. "Ah Annabeth, how nice of you to join us. I have always wanted to make this worthless sea brat kill you with his own hands."

No. No. No. NO! This can't be happening to me. Didn't Gaea need the blood of two of the seven of the prophecy to rise?

I then realized that when Gaea saw that her plan wouldn't work, she did what Kronos had done to Luke. Gaea had taken control of Percy's body.

Why me? Why my Seaweed Brain? What had I ever done to deserve this? I felt tears spill from my eyes and, although I could hear the Gods fighting Porphyrion, I didn't care.

I remembered what had happened to Luke when Kronos had taken over his body. You couldn't kill one without killing the other. The only way to make Gaea leave his body was to kill him. And I knew the Gods wouldn't hesitate to do it. But then I remembered that Luke had fought against Kronos. In the end he had been able to overcome him for just enough time to kill himself. That gave me hope. We could find a way to save Percy.

I looked up to see Percy looming over me. "Percy listen to me. I know you can hear me. You have got to fight her. You can defeat her. You can win. You can put her to sleep." Percy just sneered at me, "Do you really believe that a mere demigod can overpower me? Especially when I'm fully awake. Although I must say that Jackson is hardly any demigod. I did not expect him to be strong enough to be my host. Still, I am not Kronos. I cannot be defeated. I will rule once again." Then he raised his blade as if to strike me when, out of nowhere, Jason was at my side. He deflected Percy's blade and started fighting again.

By now all the Giants and monsters had been defeated and 12 Olympian Gods along with Hades were fighting Porphyrion. But, he seemed invincible. Every time he got hurt, he healed up almost instantly. All the minor Gods were too tired to help or temporarily dead.

Percy kicked Jason again and then yelled, "STOP!" The one word held so much power that everything and everyone, including the Gods, stopped. Then Percy started floating in the air and rose up above Porphyrion's head. The Gods still didn't know what was happening and just stared at Percy. Then he spoke, "I have finally awoken. Stop this foolishness of yours and bow to me. I may yet show some mercy. You cannot defeat my son. Your greatest hero is now mine. You have no hope of winning. Give up now and I will let you live."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Zeus spluttered, "Ga-Gaea. H-How?" At the same time Poseidon yelled, "NO! MY SON!" Then Zeus regained his composure. "I BOW TO NOBODY! ATTACK!" Everyone surged forward but Gaea yelled again and everyone, even the Gods, were thrown back by a wall of pure power.

I flew back 50 feet and landed on top of another demigod, which was good for me but not so good for the demigod. Most of the demigods were knocked out. Jason managed to save himself and Piper by controlling the winds. Frank turned into a huge eagle and caught both Hazel and Leo. Thalia was caught by Zeus and Nico shadow traveled in midair. All other demigods were unconscious.

The Gods were hurt too. All of their chariots had crashed into the ground. Zeus had jumped off and controlled the winds while Poseidon had summoned water to cushion his fall. Hades, like his son, had shadow traveled to the ground. Artemis had survived as well. She had simply jumped out of her chariot and landed on her feet. All other Gods had crashed with their chariots and seemed to be out of commission.

I looked up and saw Percy-Gaea breathing hard. She was still getting used to the body! He (she?) landed in front of Porphyrion who was now just sitting back to watch the show. Percy-Gaea slumped for a moment before straightening up and walking towards us.

4 Gods and 8 demigods, including me, were still standing. He had the same hateful expression on his face. "I will make each of you Gods fade and then I will torture your children till they beg for their death. I am Gaea and I will once again rule the world."

Zeus stepped forward with his master bolt in his hands. Hades raised his double-edged Stygian Iron sword, his Helm of Darkness giving off a terrifying aura. Artemis hesitated before she too raised her bow with 4 arrows nocked and pointed straight at Percy-Gaea. Poseidon, however just stared at Percy. The sadness in his eyes was heart breaking. In that moment, I knew he wouldn't be able to harm his own son just as I wouldn't be able to hurt Percy. The rest of the demigods too raised their weapons and advanced, leaving me and Poseidon in the back.

Percy-Gaea just smiled and flicked his hand. The next thing I knew I was flying through the air again. I crashed into a tree and felt a sharp pain at the back of my head. The last thing I saw before blacking out was that Artemis had somehow managed to stab her hunting knives in the ground and anchor herself. She was the only one standing in front of Percy-Gaea. Everybody else was knocked out. I thought I heard Gaea's laughter just before slipping into unconsciousness.

Well? How was it? Another cliffie! Sorry!
