ANNABETH:

We were just about to defeat the last hellhound when I noticed a man, about eight feet tall; he had a grotesque face, and sharp, wicked features.

Piper had noticed him, and I couldn't tell what she was planning to do about this- wait, I know who this is- it's the spirit of Tarturus. Oh gods of Olympus, help us.

Percy slashed one of the last hellhounds to bits, and the others noticed Tarturus, standing in the corner over there. Obviously Gaea had sent him to cause us trouble, but I have no idea what he intends to do, except possibly kill us.

Oh, we'll force it out of him. I'll have Piper charmspeak him (if it doesn't work on him, we'll be in trouble) and also see what Gaea's plans are to keep us away from the doors.

My battle strategy instincts kicked in: This seems too easy. There has to be some sort of trap or distraction. I think that Gaea plans to distract Piper, or somehow have one of her invisible servants do something to her, so she can't help us. But Gaea isn't that predictable. She's not like Kronos, who would try to lower our guard and then trip us from behind. Gaea would pressure us until we break, and have to bend to her will. It's going to take a lot of pressure to break the greatest heroes of the age, though.

I shook myself out of my battle strategies and tried to focus on how I'm going to tell Piper about the plan without Tarturus knowing. I could use my curse to envision a note and mentally send it to Piper, but my battle instincts told me that wouldn't work, there has to be a trick somewhere.

"What's the plan, Wise Girl?" Percy whispered to me.

"Give me a minute, I'm working on it." I muttered back.

"We're screwed, y'know." Leo murmured.

I glared at him. His words of wisdom were not exactly morale boosters.

Focus, I thought. Right, I could take Tarturus down, and the others could slice up the rest of the hellhounds.

I imagined a note that said: I'll take Tarturus; you guys kill the rest of the hellhounds. I envisioned it flying toward Piper, and out of nowhere, a note flew out of the magical vent/hole and steered itself into Piper's hands.

Piper's eyes went wide as she read the note.

"No! You can't! Let me take him." She hissed quietly.

"Piper, let's face it, I have the best chance at surviving if I fight him." I whisper shouted.

She considered it, titled her head and nodded furiously. I turned around, pulled Percy toward me, and kissed him passionately. It lasted for about two seconds, (Leo was making gagging noises in the background) and I pulled away and walked over to Piper. I looked back at the others who looked confused as to why I had just randomly kissed Percy. Anyway, I glanced at Percy who looked breathless, confused and insanely hot. I mentally laughed at his expression, and he glanced at me like, what was that for?

I rolled my eyes, and whispered, "Good luck," to Piper who nodded assent.

Meanwhile, through all of this stuff, Tarturus had been staring at my friends and me as if looking for our physical (and emotional) weaknesses.

I glared at him, and he snapped out of his trance.

"You think you can fight a god, puny demigod?" Tarturus sneered at me.

"Oh, I know I can fight you. I am the Mark of Athena, the wisest child to be born in centuries. Now the question is can you fight me?"

His brown eyes flared with fury and he charged at me. I closed my eyes and imagined a force field/ shield thingy to protect me from his attacks.

He slammed into my shield, groaning, and I kicked him across the room.

I caught my breath and glanced back at my friends. What I saw made my heart crawl into my throat. Piper and Leo were being cornered by a hellhound, and about to be eaten. Frank was shooting arrows desperately to try and save them and was constantly switching between deadly animals and his human form.

Jason and Percy were busy fighting the last three hellhounds, and they were clearly getting tired. I envisioned a bucket of water over Percy, and I forced that gallon of seawater to fall on him to help his energy. To help Jason, I prayed to Zeus to bring down a lightning bolt to replete his son's energy. Thankfully, a lightning bolt flew downwards, straight into Jason. They both had strong auras of power around them. Jason's was blue, and Percy's was a sea green color, the exact shade of his eyes.

Suddenly, I flew backwards, right into the desk in the corner. I thanked the gods I still had my shield around me, or I would've broken every single last bone in my body.

Tarturus ran at a completely inhuman rate, and managed to break my shield. He slashed down with his sword- when did he get that? - But I rolled out of the way just in time. Tarturus growled in frustration, and swung his sword in a fatal arc to those around him. I imaged my Yankees baseball cap on my head, and it appeared, causing him to not be able to find me, and give me some time to kill the hellhound that was about to eat Piper and Leo and after I killed it, I would sneak back to Tarturus, stab him in many places, so his golden ichor would spill everywhere, and Tarturus would escape in pain and defeat. It was the only way my friends and I would survive this fight.

I sprinted to Piper, Leo and the hellhound, who was about to have my friends for dinner. Before the hellhound knew it, my knife was coming down on its neck, and it disintegrated into shadows.

Leo and Piper looked around for their savior, but saw no one. They glanced at each other and shrugged, probably realizing it was me with my Yankees cap.

I turned around, and spotted Tarturus through the chaos that was Percy, Jason, Frank, and Hazel's combined fighting. Each of them glowed with an aura of power, and any hellhounds that got close to them would be knocked aside. Finally, Hazel's spathastabbed the last hellhound, and the others charged Tarturus.
Each of their blades collided in a shower of sparks. They all pressed their swords (minus Frank who was shooting arrows, and Leo who was throwing hammers) harder until Tarturus was completely overwhelmed and didn't have the strength to fight two of the best swordsmen ever, Hazel, Piper, and Frank's arrows (he was trying to deflect those). At last, about ten or elven wounds sprayed ichor all over the place while Tarturus groaned in pain once more and disappeared in a glowing black light.

We all sighed with relief, but our good mood didn't last long.

Tarturus had flashed back into the room, and this time, he wasn't alone.
