I have decided the winner of Toby's party-hard award!
It was very, very difficult to decide as both Sonofposeidon1357 and SieSie (I think that's your name… or OMGDemigodishnes, or Percabeth and Pancakes… it wasn't clear) had great entries.

However, in the end, I chose SieSie, you sound so energetic and crazy like Toby :) Thanks for your awesome reviews!

The next award will be Leon's strength award. This isn't just for people who are physically tough and fierce, it's for those who are mentally strong too. Leon goes from mean bully to being everyone's rock, and he uses his strength to support the team, especially Lilly.

If you are just as capably strong as Leon – if you train to be tough and are dedicated to protect, this award is for you! Leave your entry in the reviews, or PM me it :D

Leon's POV

Down by the house, I peered up at the crest of the hill.

Magenta, with the cap in her fist, was smirking viciously. Aston looked smug and proud whilst Jack kept glancing around, like there were invisible hellhounds everywhere.

"Nico," whispered Percy, "take Mrs. O'Leary. Go pick up the others – Veronica and Toby. Tell them who you are. They're in Chicago."
Magenta scowled as Nico and the hellhound disappeared into the shadow of the house.

"Now, Annie, take Ellie inside."
Annabeth did so.

"What are you waiting for?" Tom yelled to Magenta and the others, tapping the hilt of his sword and readying his caduceus shield.

There was a brief silence.

"We don't know," admitted Aston.

I snorted with laughter. "What, you just expected that as soon as you got two of the three items mentioned in the prophecy, Tartarus would suddenly explode?"

Magenta snarled.

"Listen here, you dumb loser," she spat, "we've got weapons. And you haven't. So I strongly suggest you shut your mouth!"

Snarling, I strode forwards, "in case you haven't noticed the large double-handed bade in my fists, we do have weapons. And there are more of us."

Magenta took a bow and arrow from her back, and nocked the arrow so it was pointing at my face. "Another word, you useless Martian, and this arrow will be in your head."
I saw Lilly draw her knife and stand in front of me, glowering at Magenta. I slipped my hand around hers and squeezed it, saying 'Don't worry Lills. I can hold my own against her.'

Jack nocked an arrow too, as he approached us. "Back off traitors. All the bad stuff has been happening to camp ever since you came! The hellhound, the harpies, and now you're thwarting our plans to raise Chronos!"

"How will raising Chronos stop Tartarus?" asked a voice.

I smiled as Jack, Magenta and Aston turned their heads to see Veronica and Toby, walking beside Nico and Mrs. O'Leary.

"Lief, the satyr, is actually the traitor!" Veronica continued.

A shocked silence followed.

"Lief?" gaped Lilly.

"Looks like it," Toby shrugged.

Tom nodded: "Yup. He's been watching us!"
Lilly raised an eyebrow. "But… what about Magenta?"
"Looks like you need to forgive and forget," Nico's voice was heard, "if there's one thing I learned from my time as a teenage demigod, it's that you can't hold grudges."

He caught Percy's eye.

Percy nodded. "Right. Okay guys, you've gotta put this hatred aside. I don't know what's the deal with Magenta and co, trying to raise Chronos… but they're on your side!"

Lilly gasped. "Vea, remember the I-M from Eddie? 'All is not what it seems'…"

"My prophecy?" Bella gasped from behind us. She'd been so quiet, I'd forgotten she was there.

"Yes!" Veronica placed her hands on her hips and smirked slightly – she had an idea. "Remember Matty Mirage?"

Magenta raised her eyebrows in confusion; of course, she had no idea that the girls had spoken to her brother via rainbow.

Lilly nodded.

"He said: 'the three and the six must form a nine…'" Veronica gasped. "Aphrodite told us that meant us six, with Magenta, Jack and Aston!"

"But…" Tom was staring, crestfallen, at his feet. "we're not the six anymore. Summer is… is…" he began to choke up. I put my hand on his shoulder encouragingly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Magenta whispering to Jack and Aston.

"She fell into Tartarus," he murmured, "she couldn't have survived the fall, and even if she did, there'd be all kind of awful things in there."

Lilly, always one for exaggerated emotion, burst into tears. "She's probably the first demigod ever to go down there!"

At that point, Percy, Annabeth and Nico exchanged smirks. "Well…" Percy grinned. "she's actually the fourth…"
We gasped. "What?"

Nico shrugged like it was nothing. "Giants… earth… spiders… ship… you don't need to hear the full story. But I survived Tartarus as a child of Hades, these two survived by fighting together." (A/N obviously House of Hades isn't out yet so I don't know how they survive… or if they do survive)

"But how will Summer survive?" Lilly wailed.

Tom grinned. It was perhaps the first time he'd smiled since Summer's fall. "Of course!" he said, "Hades and Artemis were down there! They'd protect Summer, wouldn't they?"
"She might be alive?" squeaked Lilly.

Tom shrugged, but he looked delighted. Veronica seemed to be murmuring under her breath; perhaps praying to her mom to keep Summer alive.

"This is great!" I smiled. "Guys, we're gonna defeat Tartarus."

"I'll help you," I heard another voice. We turned to see Bella, dark hair framing her pale face, her black clothes outlining her against the blue of the sky and sea in the distance. "I'll complete the six whilst Summer's gone… if, you know, that's okay?"

"Of course," Tom smiled. We all agreed; we weren't very well acquainted with Bella, but we needed someone to fill in for Summer.

Aston led his companions down the hill towards us.

"So…" he fumbled for something to say.

"We have to join together," Tom said slowly. Magenta's kaleidoscope eyes caught his. She opened her mouth to say something.

"Look," Lilly silenced her as she approached them, "I don't like you. You don't like me…"

"But.."
"But we want to get Summer back… and stop Tartarus of course. Now we know that you want to stop him too, and you say that you can…"
Magenta held up a small pendant. "A gift from Chronos. We three each have one. Individually, they can alter time. Together, they send a beacon to Chronos, alerting him to wake."

"And you're sure he'll stop Tartarus?"

Magenta nodded. "Tartarus wants to rise again. This will disrupt the entire world… all monsters and Titans will be free to rise. Chronos is, like, the oldest god, or something… he doesn't want so much disruption."

I nodded.

"Right. And-"

I'm not entirely sure what started next – the tidal waves battering the cliffs, the ground seeming to shake beneath or feet, or the scream that filled the air – or maybe they all happened at once.

Of course, we got close to making a truce, and the ground began to tremble! I grabbed on to Lilly as an earthquake rippled along, causing cracks to appear in the windows of Percy and Annabeth's house.

At the same time, the scream of a frightened girl could be heard from the coast, over where the sea had turned from a glassy green dream to stormy grey nightmare.

"That way!" Percy yelled over the shaking of the ground.

Our large group – we had gone from six schoolfriends to a massive bundle of assorted demigods – all followed him down to the sea.

There was Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Mrs. O'Leary, Bella, Tom, Veronica, Lilly, me, Toby, Jack, Aston and Magenta, all sprinting away.

Finally, we reached the water, where waves spat foam and hammered rocks.

I gasped.

Tom's eyes widened.

Veronica muttered, Lilly screamed, Toby uttered a confused: "Huh?".

I didn't know whether I was shocked, happy, upset, scared or confused: probably all of them at once.

For chained to a large grey rock, hair wet with sea spray, screaming with terror, and most definitely alive…

…was Summer Song.

Don't you just love my cliffhangers? :P

Hoped you enjoy reading, if so please have a look at my other fics. Thanks for reviewing!
