It took me thirty minutes to find the small hunter's camp in New Jersey. Everyone was fidgeting and I dropped in next to Thalia. She looked at me grimly before addressing everyone.

"War is here! We must go help our friends at Manhattan." Thalia exclaimed to the group and we all nodded. Quickly packing up our things, we stealthily jogged towards Manhattan. Thanks to our status as hunters, we quickly reached what seemed to be a meeting. The campers were looking distressed and I saw Nico pouring over a map.

"Who will take the Lincoln Tunnel?!" Nico shouted annoyed.

"Don't worry cuz. We can handle it." Thalia called out and everyone split away for us to come through. Nico's eyes shone with relief as he nodded.

"Okay. Then the Apollo campers come with me. Annabeth, go start Plan 23." Nico ordered and everyone broke off to their own sections of Manhattan.

"Alright ladies we need to make sure no one gets through here. Not even demigods." Thalia shouted over the sounds of the advancing monster army. Empousa, or is it empousi, and giants littered the army lines along with other evil monsters. Like basically anything you would see in a Greek mythology encyclopedia. Yeah that bad. Where for art thou so many monsters? We set up at various locations and began to fire away. Apparently most of their forces were centered somewhere else because we were done within an hour.

"Anyone hurt?" Thalia called out as we approached from various hiding spots, all of us drenched in sweat and panting.

"Rin got hit by an arrow. It grazed her side." Cypress replied as she tore the bottom of her shirt to tie a makeshift bandage around the wound.

"I'll be fine. Let's get back to the new meeting point. A hotel right?" Rin waved it off but grimaced as she stood up. We slowly trekked across Manhattan with me in the rear. It took ten minutes to get there and Nico was seated in a comfy chair in the lobby. Worry etched his features and he kept his eyes on one thing. Will Solace. He seemed to be injured across his chest and the entire lobby was turned into a hospital. Cypress went to offer her help and find Rin a place to rest despite her protests.

"What happened?" I slid up next to Nico and patted him on the back.

"We were on the Williamsburg Bridge and we pushed the forces back but Kronos was there. They came towards us and Ethan almost hit me in my vulnerable point. Will took the knife for me." Nico stared at the ground as he told me. How could anyone find out his vulnerable point? Even I don't know. "This room is terrible for me. I can feel the souls leaving and the ones flickering, the ones in between life or death. I caused some of these deaths. At the bridge I had to break it in half while some campers were still on it." Nico finished hoarsely.

"Chin up ghost king. No one blames you so don't blame yourself. Now go comfort Will and thank him, get a gift basket or something, but don't you act like everything bad is your fault. I need to go back to the hunters. Don't forget!" I told Nico sternly before walking to where Thalia was. She smiled at me and the other hunters also waved. Oh yeah my sistas are in the house.

"Rin is fine all she needs is a few hours of observation. Tomorrow we will be closer to the front lines so get your daggers ready and stay alert. Go find a place on the second floor to sleep. Good job sisters." Thalia ordered us affectionately and even ruffled Hetalina's hair. I stayed on the ground floor with Thalia as she fondly watched the hunters go upstairs.

"We won't all make it." Thalia sighed as she sunk to the ground. I plopped down next to her.

"You're right but I'm going to make sure most of them survive." I vowed and Thalia nodded somberly.

"Let's go take a nap." Thalia finally said as we made our way up the narrow stairs. We decided to share a room and I took the bed closest to the window. Thalia managed to fall sleep immediately, but I was left alone with my thoughts. We aren't all going to make it obviously, yet I'm not going to let my sisters get taken away from me. If anyone should die it's me. All of us knew what we were signing up for, but preparing for a war is a lot different than being in one. My thoughts swirled around before I lost my hold on reality.

Percy's Dream

"Remember family." Hestia smiled warmly at me before her face disappeared into the dark. Once she left an ominous fog swept through my dreamscape and the temperature dropped.

"What do you know about family? Your mother is dead, your father only spoke to you for the first time two years ago, and you spend most of your life following around Artemis like a groupie! You don't have a family!" An evil Hermes shouted. His features were twisted into a cruel snarl. I thought I was over this? Next up Luke Castellan appeared.

"Why don't you betray them? Find a new family with us?" Luke sneered and I felt a sharp pain in dream me's stomach. "Stay on their side and that wound won't be fake." Luke finished with a cold laugh and I shot up from my bed with a gasp.

Reality

Thalia was watching me with worry in her fierce blue eyes.

"You started turning and screaming." Thalia explained.

"Oh okay. Well I'm going to go take a walk in Central Park. Do you want to come with?" I offered as I slipped out of the sweaty pajamas into a pair of official hunter pans and a camo crop top.

"Nah I'm going to check on Rin and Nico. Report back in an hour." Thalia grinned and walked ou of the room. The window beckoned to me, so instead of walking out like a normal person would, I jumped out onto the ground and broke into a jog. My weapon bracelet jingled on my left wrist as I pounded through the twisting paths. After ten minutes of solid jogging I saw a group. Slowing my pace, I took a closer look and identified them. Prometheus, an empousa, a Hyperborean giant, and a demigod. From his description I assumed he was Ethan Nakamura, a camper the Hermes cabin talked about occasionally.

"Please summon your representatives. We need to have a chat." Prometheus smiled at me. The rest stared over at me and I froze. No way could I take two monsters, a titan, and a demigod.

"Fine." I replied shortly. Transforming into a hawk, I flew to the hotel. Quickly I found Nico's room because apparently everyone keeps tabs on where their leader is but me. Inside I saw Will and Nico.

"Hey lovebirds a titan comes a calling for you." I teased Nico and he blushed before staring at me.

"Okay let's go." Nico agreed.

"I'm coming!" Will exclaimed excitedly as he ruffled his hair. I jogged out of the hotel and once we were a safe distance from the hotel I turned into a wolf.

"They're about here." I called back to the two demigods- cough couple cough- before sprinting the last few feet. Sure enough, the four were right where I left them.

"Hello hero! We come with a proposition for you. Surrender." Prometheus grinned, but on him it looked more like a grimace.

"Hhm should we stop in the middle of a war and hand ourselves over to the enemy? How about no." Nico said with a fake-thought look on his face. Yay sass master Nico!

"What about if I showed you-" Prometheus began but Nico cut him off.

"If I say no then I mean no. Final answer." Nico grit his teeth while he clenched his jaw.

"Well give this to your mutt." Prometheus handed out Pandora's Box, it's actually an apithos, to me. In response I growled. "If you ever change your mind release Elpis or hope." Prometheus finished casually as his crew walked away. I turned back into a human and grabbed the apithos. Temptation could draw anyone to opening it and we would accidently surrender. Not how I want to go.

"We should put this back in the hotel and head back out." I said to the two unresponsive boys still looking at the direction where our enemy left. Snapping my fingers, I scoffed and started to walk back to base. Boys.

"Wait up!" Will shouted to me as he dragged Nico along.

"Percy!" Thalia yelled at me as I arrived inside the hotel. She and the others hunters were all suited up, even Rin though she had a bandage on her side. "Didn't you think to check in with me? We were all worried." Thalia sighed softly as she lost her gusto. In the few years I've known Thalia she's never been this worried about anything.

"Sorry. We should head out soon." I apologized and Thalia nodded.

"Hunters you have five minutes. Meet at the entrance to the hotel." Thalia announced. Perfect now I can hide this flaming jar of temptation somewhere. I finally settled on keeping it in my room because a.) Thalia wouldn't touch it and b.) No one but us two are allowed in there. It's a fool proof plan. Rushing back down the stairs, I reached the other hunters as we began to run to our spot. As we arrived I noticed two things. Nico, Annabeth, Will, and some satyrs were there and a titan was there. Great.

"Fear me I am Hyperion!" The titan bellowed as he spread flames around the helpless satyrs. I saw my cousin huff while he tried to stand again. Darkness is no match for fire. Kinda like in Pokémon where everything had the critical move.

"Nico let me take the titan." I offered as I took out riptide and a dagger.

"I'll let you do that when pigs fly." Nico scoffed, dodging another strike.

"Then Percy may be getting a titan to fight. Look up." Thalia interjected with amazement in her voice. Sure enough, when I looked up at the sky I saw a giant pink cow. I kid you not, a pink cow.

"Of course this had to happen. Fine, Percy take the titan." Nico growled as he shadow traveled onto the pig's back and was carried away into the sky. Eh not my problem. Yet. Focusing back on the titan, I saw my sisters draw their bows.

"I'm going to activate some automaton." Annabeth excused herself before dashing off. With a swift nod from Thalia, the hunters split into two groups. One was following Annabeth and around five stayed behind me. They began to fire arrows at shocking seeds and I ran forward to slash at the titan. He melted most of the arrows but a few lucky ones still hit his body. My slash did nothing so I decided to play the power game. Summoning a whirlpool I began to swirl it around him but Hyperion merely stepped out of it. Next he began to summon more flames. Will he ever stop? This guy is annoying me. No more mister nice guy. Or miss nice lady but whatever. I gathered the water from the lake and began to concentrate. Making it swirl faster than when in the whirlpool, I flung the newly formed hurricane at Hyperion. As it took his flames out for a few seconds, we strike. The hunters shower (see what I did there?) him with arrows before I began to slash at him with all of my strength. Nearby satyrs begin to play a lulling melody and the wounded titan moves towards it. Some of the satyrs chant and next thing I knew Hyperion walked into a tree. Seriously, he walked into the tree.

"Good job satyrs!" Grover applauded them. They all cheered back before walking away.

"Nice work girls. Let's move in and see what's going on." Thalia praised us. We were all still panting from the fight, but did as told anyway.

"I think I overheard some campers say they were moving closer to the Empire State Building." Hetalina offered through the thick silence. Somehow it got real tense and to be honest I'm still not sure what happened. Maybe they were too worried about the other girls to talk.

"That can't be good. Double time!" Thalia announced to us, so we began to sprint. Hetalina was right, for the campers were in a tight bunch in front of the entrance to the ESB. Oh yeah cool kid Percy strikes back. Mental high five. I took out my daggers and launched myself into the fray. The other hunters did the same, and through the chaos I was relieved to notice the other girls next to Annabeth and Nico. A demigod was coming towards Thalia, so I through a knife in that direction before gutting the empousa in front of me. Despite our lovely efforts, the enemies were gaining fast. Until a chorus of hoots and cheers were heard. Wait what?! This is a war and I'm pretty sure no one on our side is happy so . . . another enemy?

"PARTY PONIES TEXAS TOUR!" A centaur in a cowboy hat screamed as he thwacked a demigod over the head with a baseball bat. Yes a baseball bat.

"L.A. IS IN THE HOUSE!" A centaur with a t-shirt launched whooped as he shot a shirt straight through a giant. Don't even ask me how. The enemy seemed to retreat quickly and a tight lipped Chiron came out to greet the Party Ponies.

"Hello cousins. Welcome to New York and thank you for helping us fight." Chiron said with forced kindness.

"No problem bro. we're going to go search the city." A random centaur said with a shirt that had "Washington D.C. Tour" on it. No offense to our saviors but they sound like groupies. With that, they all trotted away, taking the noise with them.

"Get rested and prepared heroes. This fight isn't over yet." Chiron advised us. Taking his advice, the hunters regrouped and began the march to HQ.

"Alright hunters. Today the only time you go out now is if I or someone else officially informs you to fight. Most of us got injured just now and I don't want you fighting." Thalia shouted out to the group. A series of groans were the response but I knew they would comply with the rules.

"Nice leadership skills cousin." I praised Thalia as we watched the hunters go grab bandages and sharpen their weapons. From across the room I saw Will and Nico talking together, but Nico seemed to be zoned out. Which is pretty weird because it's a war and even during campfires he's always alert.

"Thanks." Thalia replied. We sat in silence for a few minutes. Suddenly chopper blades interrupt the calm.

"Who is piloting a helicopter? Morpheus made it so no mortals were awake." A random camper said. Thalia and I exchanged glances before dashing back outside.

"Rachel?!" We shouted in unison.

Well this is getting complicated.

!

"So what happened with the drakon? You seemed pretty shaken up after Rachel said you weren't the hero." I asked Nico concerned. Once Rachel arrived she only said that Nico wasn't the hero in the prophecy and that a drakon was coming. Will and Nico went out to stop it even though only a child of Ares could.

"Silena arrived. She managed to convince Clarisse to come but Silena died while being bait for the monster. During the fight, Silena told us she was the spy and it was because Luke was blackmailing her and promising Beckendorf's survival." Nico answered back as we kept walking to Olympus. Thalia had suggested we check final defenses and I had my own mission. Entering the elevator, we all began to ascend to Olympus.

"Nico and Will can you go check defense? Here is the apithos, find a place to keep it away from others." I asked them, but before giving them time to respond, I dragged Annabeth to the throne room.

"What's up Percy?" Annabeth smiled at me and I could see the anxiety in her features.

"We need to summon my dad." I said as I hopped on my dad's throne. Yeah you're probably thinking why is she climbing on a sacred throne to a super powerful god? Can't you get killed because of that? Well from Annabeth's gasp, I assume you can get killed so don't try it at home. Besides, it was the only way I knew how to get my dad's attention fast.

"WHO DARES TO SIT IN MY THRONE? Oh hi Percy!" Poseidon's voice flooded through my mind. Wow talk about bipolar.

"Hi dad. Can you help the other gods against Typhon?" I blurted out. Annabeth looked confused at the one-sided conversation, yet I was more focused on my dad's response. I could've worded it better but it's always good to be direct.

"I would love to but I have my own war." Poseidon said somberly. Time for persuasive Percy.

"If the gods are overpowered by Typhon then you won't even have your domain anymore. Fighting with them will ensure their victory and you'll be a hero." I said with dramatic hand motion that he couldn't see.

"Fine Percy. Only for you my beloved daughter." Poseidon relented and I felt our connection fade.

"Poseidon is joining the other gods to fight Typhon!" I announced to Annabeth, Nico, and Will the latter of two had just arrived.

"Hestia has Pandora's Box or apithos or whatever." Will informed us happily.

"Kronos' army is here! At the Doors of Olympus." Thalia burst into the room panting. Uh oh there goes the happiness. Thalia leads us back down to the doors. Kronos' army is huge and at the front I see the titan himself. Most of our troops were on patrols or injured so if we didn't get some help we are in trouble.

"Looks like you guys are in a jam." Bianca appeared suddenly, on a chariot with Persephone, Demeter, and Hades. They were all suited for war and had a huge undead army behind them. Boo yah reinforcements.

"How cute," Kronos mocked from his place in front of his monster army. Next to him were two empousa and Ethan Nakumara. "Now let's get serious. Begin to fight!" Kronos yelled to his army while we were cut off from the outside world. It seemed like Kronos moved the barriers to encompass only us and his group. Outside our dome I saw the undead attack the monsters ruthlessly while Hades started to smite everything near him.

"Come Ethan boy. We must destroy the thrones." Kronos ordered the demigod who followed him.

"Go after them." I shouted before throwing two knives at the empousi (?). They both hit their marks and no one else was in the vanguard. Dashing up to the throne room, a statue started to creak and groan before toppling over. Behind me a heard a muffled groan of pain. The statue of Hera had fallen on Thalia's leg.

"Ugh go without me." Thalia moaned. We all exchanged hesitant looks before proceeding on anyway. Inside the throne room Kronos and Ethan were standing in the middle, as if the expected us. Duh Percy of course they expected us we were following them for crying out loud. Annabeth and Will looked pained at Luke's body and Ethan.

"Nico. Get Kronos. Annabeth. Find a way to stop them. Will. Distract Kronos. I'll take Ethan." I whispered to them. They all nodded back so I launched myself at Ethan. He dodged out of the way and tried to slash at me, but I leaped back with only a cut across my right forearm.

"You know what's funny? Nakama in Japanese means comrades or friends. Yet you, Ethan Nakumara, have betrayed your friends at camp." I snarled.

"The gods betrayed me! I'm just restoring the balance." Ethan argued.

"Betrayal doesn't mean balance." I roared and began to slash quickly at Ethan. He kept back up until we reached a corner.

"Here is you last chance to prove yourself. Fight for your friends." I pleaded with him. Something flickered in his eyes and he charged Kronos. The titan of time turned from Nico and stabbed Ethan through his midsection.

"I have no use for traitors." Luke, or Kronos, sneered at the dumbstruck son of Nemesis. I covered my mouth to muffle my gasp. He just killed his follower at the first sign of betrayal. Will stopped singing a terribly sad song that seemed to have brought down Luke's spirits.

"Luke! Wake up. You promised." Annabeth screeched at Luke. This must be how she planned to stop Luke. I wasn't so sure. I mean if Luke was in there he wouldn't just kill one of his old friends.

"Quiet mortal!" Luke roared and hit his sword, Backbiter I think, into the ground. The floors shook and we tumbled to the ground. Shakily I began to stand up, and charged Luke. He tried to hit me the same way he killed Ethan but I side stepped so it didn't hit me. What I didn't expect, was that Luke could move his sword quick enough to have it sink into my left shoulder.

"PERCY. Get back!" Annabeth yelled at me furiously. Taking her advice, I leapt back to where I was but Luke pursued me and hit my calf. Ouch. He didn't stop and started to slash at me again. Luckily I managed to summon a water shield and concentrated the water to attack him before he managed to hit my back. Well this isn't good.

"You thought you could beat me? A titan? Not even the Olympians could beat Typhon all together what makes you think you could beat me? Just watch their pitiful progress." Luke mocked and a vision appeared. Sure enough, the Olympians were all slowly being pushed back by Typhon. I saw my mother get smacked and was about to attack again until I saw Poseidon appear again. The gods all looked at each other and hit Typhon with a join attack. My dad then took the water around Typhon and swirled his essence in the murky water until he faded into Tartarus.

"What?! Why did he leave his kingdom?" Luke fumed, the vision breaking into a million pieces.

"Luke." Annabeth pleaded, her pain obvious.

"Enough." Luke demanded as he reached to throw Annabeth across the room. With the last of my energy, I summoned a shield to protect her. Since I wasn't in tip top shape, Luke still got through but I cushioned the would-be fatal blow.

"Family Luke. You promised." Annabeth rasped out. Something in Luke's gold eyes flickered and they turned a sky blue.

"Nico give me the knife. Kronos will take over if anyone else tries to attack." Luke managed between gasps of breath. Nico looked at Will who shrugged then at me and finally Annabeth. She gave him the knife and Nico moved towards Luke. That's when it clicked.

"Nico you aren't the hero. Luke is." I coughed and was panicked to see my hand covered in blood. Internal bleeding. My cousin got close and I saw Luke's eyes flash back to gold. Somehow, I ended up being right next to Luke.

"Now Nico." Luke said. As if that snapped Nico out of his trance, he handed the knife over cautiously. The son of Hermes undid his armor strap and plunged the blade into the skin a few inches under his armpit. Not the best place for an Achilles Heel but hey I can't judge. Luke let off a flaming aura that seemed to take all the water from my body. With a final release of heat and a feral cry of pain, Luke collapsed to the floor. Annabeth, Nico, and Will all came running towards us. I coughed up more blood but couldn't summon anymore water to heal myself. Must've been when Luke released the heat of the freakin' Sahara Desert.

"Luke. Percy. We can get you nectar and ambrosia. Will can heal you." Annabeth looked at the son of Apollo hopefully but I shakily raised up a hand to grab her arm.

"Don't. Will is at his limit. I don't want to kill him. Nectar and ambrosia can't help me against this." I admitted somberly. Nico looked at me with shiny eyes and I knew he felt my soul in that limbo he described yesterday. Annabeth hugged me before turning to Luke but Nico kept staring at me.

"Nico. Can you promise me one thing?" I asked him with another round of coughs.

"Of course." Nico replied instantly.

"Move on. Help the other campers find out their godly parents and tell Thalia she was the greatest sister." I said in a quick rush. Nico nodded to show he heard and I smiled.

"Thanks cousin." I grinned one last time before my vision blurred and the colors all seeped together until there was nothing but black.

Welcome to death.

A/N A day late but I don't care! Now real quick about the pairing most people said Clarisse. Do you want genderbent Clarisse or regular Clarisse? How can they meet and get romantic? I'm not sure if I know how to write her so I'm kinda scared. The poll will be up for a few more weeks and will you hate me if I pick another person? I don't want the plot to be ruined because I can't write the pairing. Oh well enough of that business stuff.
