Disclaimer: I don't own Rick Riodan or any of his stuff I also don't own any other characters or phrases blatantly taken from films like 300 (best film ever). But owning Rick Riodan would be cool, he could write for me all day.

All the leading figures of both the Roman and Greek camps were sat around a table, ultimately deciding what the best way to defend Olympus was. Leo was playing with fire, Will Solace from the Apollo cabin was organising his arrows into categories, Travis Stoll was hopelessly trying to flirt with Katie Gardner, Jason and Piper were talking in hushed tones. Frank and hazel weren't really listening, Malcom was looking at Octavian like he was some sharp talking scum that just crawled out of the earth to piss him off, Dakota was drinking, Gwen was trying to calm him down, and Reyna at the head of the table was pretending to listen to Octavians ramblings. Long story short they were failing badly to plan the very serious battle ahead.
Suddenly however, all heads turned as the tent doors opened and Percy Jackson walked in, Thalia studied Percy and she noticed there were two things wrong, firstly there was something wrong about his appearance, his usual sea green eyes held a pain beyond any other, but also some kind of pure determination mixed with rage and hate. And secondly and more importantly where was Annabeth?

I walked to the command tent in the Olympians camp, ignoring all questions, introductions and comments as I walked through, it was all the same "Percy! Oh my gods your alive, but where's Annabeth?" I held back tears as I knew the time to grieve and grovel for Annabeth is not now, now is the time for victory, justice and most importantly revenge. I braced myself for the oncoming wave of questions outside the tent, some of Annabeths best friends will be in here I thought, even worse some of her siblings, I have to be strong for them and for the campers, this is it Percy, no tears, no weakness, and no mercy for Gaea.
I threw open the tent doors, not wanting to be that dramatic really it just happened. I looked around the room as every head turned and quickly checked who was missing, no Chiron, no Lupa, no Nico, no me, and no Annabeth. Then the flood of questions hit me, "how are you?" someone asked the nest question was "where's Annabeth?"
"Annabeth's dead" I said, holding back the need to just drop and cry, I turned to look at the centurion who asked me how I was, "does that answer your question" The entire tent went silent. Everyone looked in shock, tears rolled down Malcoms cheeks, Thalia had a look of pure anger and hatred on her face, Piper was crying into Jasons chest while frank and hazel were doing the same, Katie Gardner burst into tears and clung on to Travis like her life depended on it, He and conner shared sad looks. A tear rolled down Clarisses' cheek and Tyson burst into the most over the top sobs I'd ever heard, Leo stared into the distance in shock. While all this was going on Reyna just watched me, concerned, I allowed a single tear, then I stopped, time to be strong. Time to fight.
Once the tent had quietened down I spoke, attempting to stop my voice from cracking and probably failing at it "Now is not the time to cry for Annabeth, Across the plains lies an army far greater in numbers than our own, Now is the time to fight for Annabeth, to kill for Annabeth and to die for Annabeth" I sat, turned to Reyna and asked "who has come and who can fight?" she looked at me, emotions swirling in her eyes "the entire legion has come, including reserves, almost 700 soldiers" Malcom nodded "Almost 100 from camp half blood, and Percy... can I talk to you later?" his eyes welled up and I nodded to him. Thalia turned "40 hunters of Artemis ready to fight and die" she still looked full of rage, just like Percy. "The *sniff* army of *sniffle* Olympus is ready brother" Tyson said, he'd come out of his crying fit long enough to look at Percy with his one big sad eye. "and the amazons will supply help when its needed" mused Hylla from the back of the tent. I Turned back to Reyna at the head of the table and whispered in her ear "Its not enough is it?"
"No" she replied "but we will fight and die to defend Olympus and the gods"

The ground shook as they were talking. Wills head snapped around "they can't already be marching on the base can they?"
"No" Clarisse shook her head and smiled "This means reinforcements" they all stormed out of the tent regardless of what Clarisse thought they expected the worst with their weapons drawn.
Naturally Clarisse was right about all things violence, their mouths hung open with awe as they saw a huge black chariot pulled by skeletal horses, at the reins of this stood Thantos the god of death, behind the sad figure of Nico Di Angelo, the boy looked proud, but he also looked as if he'd been crying, Percy guessed he must of felt Annabeths death. They rode and sidled up to the group of leaders "Sorry we're late, but we had an army to recruit and we picked a good one" Thantos said.
They looked up and down the ranks of the undead soldiers, at the front rank, stood 300 spartan skeletons proud and strong, even in death. Behind them stood 50 peasant like looking men however their skulls were painted partially blue and Percy guessed they were the Scottish from that film with Mel Gibson in, what was it? Brave heart? Oh well Percy didn't care, behind those stood about 30 tribal looking men with strange spears "Maori warriors" Malcom quietly spoke next to him "In other words mindless killers" and behind them stood another 50 roman legionaries, each section had a leader. Nico turned and yelled " Leonidas, Wallace, Kawaiti and Marcus Antonius, come forward, we must plan"
As they all headed towards the tent, Connor stoll turned to Percy and said "well, we might not all be doomed now"
Sooooo, what do ya think? I'm thinking the next chapter will be the lead up to the battle, then the one after that will be the battle. Im also thinking i might give the half bloods a little divine help in the form of a bunch of gods, cus well you cant kill giants without gods. So review follow favourite and whatever, Thanks
