Enjoy!

I do not own PJO or the HoO series.

Chapter 6

The gods were putting on their celestial bronze armor. They knew the dangers of an ancient race and the information was so little on them. Half-bloods were setting up defenses and their army was stronger and bigger than ever. From a Titan's point of view, it would be a difficult to handle. From an ancient being's, it's a whole different story.

Athena and her children were in the Throne Room planning some kind of counter-offensive attack or defense. The campers cut off all bridges but one. Currently the Manhattan Bridge was occupied by the Precursor army. The leader was cover with silver armor and its mask's orange eyes looked deadly. "Gods and mortals that walk the Earth shan't live…" the cold dark voice echoed across the city. The gods and campers stopped what they were doing and watched the enemy's army on the bridge. Only their leader was walking toward them. "Your efforts are futile…. We have watched for thousands of years…" the dark voice gave shivers to the campers. "Your fate has been sealed… Not even the Primordial gods can save you…" the Precursor's voice was old and it hissed.

"Shut up you old piece of shit!" Clarisse yelled. She took out her electric spear out. "Clarisse no!" Chris tried to stop her but was too late. "For Olympus!" Clarisse charge with a battle cry. The commander stopped walking and took out his golden sword. Clarisse jabbed and the Precursor dodged. At a split second, thanks to ADHD Clarisse was able to roll away just in time from the Precursor's attack. But unfortunately her spear was broken in half. She then took out two knives and charged. The Precursor disappeared in blue plasma and reappeared behind her. "No…" Clarisse knew her death was close. The Precursor slashed Clarisse at the chest and she fell down.

The gods watched in horror but Ares was beyond mad. "Screw the ancient laws! You killed my daughter and you will wish you never lived!" Ares let out a battle cry and charged with twin swords. A big red aura surrounded him and Ares slashed and hacked against the Commander.

The Commander was too fast for Ares, his rage built up but at the same time, he was having fun that he was fighting a tough enemy. "Damn you to Tartarus!" Ares cursed. The Precursor took this chance and stabbed the God of War in the chest and pulled the sword out. Ares backed away as his blood poured out on the bridge mixing with her daughter's blood. "I see… I see… So this is how it is." Ares made for one final blow and managed to hit the enemy's armor. The swords broke into pieces as the armor was not scratched. Ares's eyes widened "How? Did my-"he was cut into several places and he was flung to the river.

The campers and gods were in fear but stood their ground. "Attack." The Commander ordered. The Precursor army had the same armor as their leader but instead of a silver color, it was pitch black. "Campers! This is the day we fight for our brothers and sisters! This is the day we once again fight for the world! For Olympus!" Mark shouted and the camp cheered. "Our army will kill them all. They killed one of us, we shall return the favor." Jason announced. "Detonate the Greek bombs." Jason said to his friend Leo who just nodded. The bridge exploded and was engulfed in flames. As the debris cleared the army was still marching in midair. It was as if the bridge never disappeared. The demigods were able to cover from their shock and got ready for battle.

"Hunters!" Artemis called. The Hunters of the Hunt fired their arrows and they pierced in some spots. The gods except for Artemis fought desperately against the Commander. The Roman and Greek threw everything they had at the army. Thalia called forth a storm and lightning from the sky. Houses and apartment buildings exploded and most of the land was covered with debris. Nico was leading an army of the undead against a group of soldiers. Mark sent tidal waves on after the other but he was getting exhausted. Jason was using his spear and slashing his enemies down. He was able to fry some soldiers with lightning. Annabeth turned invisible and slashed at the soldiers. Every fighter was having a tough time.

Campers were slaughtered and their numbers decreased. They first had 1000 then decreased to 800 then to 300. The Precursor army had better technology and was smarter than the campers. The Commander backed away from the gods and saw the city in flames. The gods were getting tired and needed extreme amount of rest. "Humanity's torture is a kindness." As the Commander choked Zeus with one hand. He threw Zeus across the ground that was out of stamina. "Precursors! Regroup near the once destroyed bridge!" as he teleported in plasma away from the gods. The campers and the Olympians took this time to organize and rest. Annabeth was planning a counter-offensive attack as the others were scouting or relaxing.

Meanwhile…

Percy and Zoe were almost to New York but stopped when they saw the bridges destroyed. "Percy look!" Zoe pointed at the Commander regrouping his troops. "Zoe. Did you bring any Greek fire?" Percy asked. Zoe looked in her bag and pulled out a silver cylinder. 'What is that?" Percy asked. "A bomb that is a lot better than Greek fire. Its radius is 500 meters. Enough to destroy almost their entire army. Ouranos said I might need it." Zoe explained. "All you have to do is smack at the center as hard as you can and it will detonate but why anyways?" she asked.

Realization hit her immediately and Percy saw her eyes widened. "Percy... You can't go out there." Zoe protested but was cut off as Percy put a hand up to stop her. "I promise that I will make it back." Percy took the cylinder and slung it across his back. "I love you Zoe." He said. Zoe looked stunned but a big smile appeared on her face as tears sprung from her eyes. She hugged Percy and said "I love you too!" Percy was happy and gave her a kiss. "Get to the Olympians quickly." He said. She nodded and kissed him back. Percy ran to the enemy's camp as Zoe watched him disappear. She ran to the island onto the shore and saw a boat.

Precursor Commander POV

The Olympians were weak and I was just toying with them. Such a shame. My army was setting up camp. In the corner of my eye I saw a lone figure with jet black hair. Perseus Jackson. "Lieutenant." I called. "Yes sir?" the lieutenant asked. "Get the army ready for anything. I'll be back soon." I said. He bowed and was out of my sight. Perseus was near the camp until he stopped walking. "Your city is in flames, your family is weak. You have no hope." I said.

3rd POV

Percy turned around only to be thrown across the ground. The silver cylinder rolled away from him. He dived for it, at the last second he was about to touch it he hovered. "You really thought that I will let you detonate that bomb?" the Commander said. How did he know? Percy thought. He was flung back and slammed against a building. "I won't let you take over this world." Percy said. He plunged Riptide into the ground and made an earthquake. The bomb rolled towards him. The Precursor charged at him and pushed Percy to the ground. He stomped on Percy's chest and stabbed at the edge of his throat. "What a pity. The great hero is dead." The Commander said. Debris exploded around the two and the Earth rumbled harder. Percy had the silver cylinder in his hands. "Your mistake…. Is underestimating your enemy…" Percy whispered. The Commander was in shock and the section of Manhattan was gone….

Far away, the gods watched an entire army of Precursors engulfed in flames. Poseidon knew Percy was there and he didn't have the chance to say good bye to him much less gain his forgiveness. Zoe had tears in her eyes and Artemis gasped that Zoe was alive. "Zoe! How? How are you here?" Artemis asked and hugged Zoe. The gods were surprised that a dead person was able to come back to the living. After Zoe settled down after the death of her love, she explained the events that happened previously.

Artemis was shocked when Zoe loved a man. But once she heard Percy's name she relaxed although her heart skipped a beat. "Guys! Their army is attacking!" Lego shouted. As Leo said, the Precursor army was still alive and charging towards them. Their Commander was fighting an injured Percy; however Percy still had enough energy to fight back. "Percy's alive!" Zoe pointed at him and the gods were flabbergasted at the power he contained.

"Let's assist my son!" Poseidon let out a battle cry. The campers and hunters were holding off the army as Zoe and the gods assisted Percy.

Percy POV

The water healed me and gave me the power I needed and charged at the Commander. His armor was bruised and almost half of it was destroyed. I saw Zoe firing arrows at the Commander. The arrows left a trail of gold dust like a comet shooting in space. As the arrows marked their target they exploded "Curse you! Humanity shall be obliterated!" he shouted. The Commander slashed and dodged against the attacks made from the gods, Zoe and I.

The Commander teleported away and his army retreated. My vision was getting darker and darker… Before I blacked out I heard a yell "Percy!" from Zoe and Artemis.
