RON POV
After the demigods showed Umbridge up, we all went down to lunch. Only to be greeted by an empty Great Hall.
"Where do you think everyone is?" I asked Harry. He shrugged and pointed out the window to the quidditch pitch. We could faintly hear yelling and screaming. Then a huge water spout burst into the sky. I looked to Harry and nodded, both of us bolting at the same time, Hermione yelling at us to stop far behind us.
We reached the pitch just as a fireball burst into the sky. I ran into the stands, only to find them filled with people. I looked over everyone's heads and spotted a truly amazing sight. Percy was in the middle of his own personal hurricane, Leo was riding fire, and Jason was on a horse made of thunderclouds.
"C'mon Sparky! You gotta do better than that!" Percy shouted, blasting him full-force in the face with water. Jason fell off of his horse sputtering, only then to have to dodge a well-aimed fire ball by Leo. I saw the girls watching from the side laughing about the boy's antics.
"Ron! What's going on?" Hermione yelled. I forgot she was short. I looked at her. "The demigods are training. I saw some seats over here though!" I yelled to her. We dodged crazy people trying to get closer to the show, and finally made it to the spots. We got a perfect view of the training ground. The grass was burning in most parts, with rocks and gems embedded in the dirt.
"Where's Frank?" Harry yelled over the noise. I shrugged and continued to watch the show. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Percy and Jason had started to fight one-on-one. Jason slashed at Percy's head, but somehow he dodged it.
They continued to spar for about three minutes before Percy twisted his sword, tearing Jason's from his grip, and tossing it into the air. He did a flip over Jason, catching the sword in midair, and pointing both at his throat after he landed. The stadium was silent. Until Leo came along.
"Well! Now that we have witnessed such a wonderful display of power from water-boy over here, why don't we let Annabeth beat Percy up? I think she deserves it." This was met with multiple cheers from the demigods, a groan from Percy, and gasps from us wizards.
"Fine. But Leo, if I survive this, Team Leo is going DOWN!" Percy shouted, taking up a fightning stance. Annabeth did the same across from him.
They circled each other warily, waiting for the other to make the move. Annabeth struck first with a blow to the stomach. Percy deflected and slashed at Annabeth's arm, leaving a faint scratch. She gasped, looking at her arm. "Percy, I'M DYING!" She yelled with a playful smile on her face. Percy just rolled his eyes and started to press harder.
Finally, it ended with Percy kissing Annabeth, wrenching her sword form her grip. They didn't break apart until a voice I didn't recognize yelled at them.
"AUGH! PDA! PDA! NOOOOOOOOOO! INNOCENT HUNTER OF ARTEMIS HERE!" A girl with spiky black hair, a silver bow and dark eyeliner walked up to them and gave them both a hug.
"Thailia!" Jason yelled, delighted. He ran up to her and grabbed her, scaring her effectively. "Little brother! Put me down!" The girl, Thalia, yelled at him, laughing.
"When did you get here?" Piper asked her after giving her a hug. Thalia just smirked. "Chiron believes you may need help later on in your mission. He also sent two more people for backup, but they are off being antisocial." All of the seven grinned.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" A voice, I sadly recognized, yelled from the entrance. The seven, plus Thalia, whirled around, weapons drawn. Probably waiting to take down one of the monster they told us about. I wish they took this one down soon though. Because standing at the entrance to the pitch, a horrid pink-toad monster was standing, face purple in anger.
"Well, Mrs. Wartsalot, we are simply training. Good for the muscles. And during life-or-death monster fights." Percy answered her, sword hanging loosely at his side. Umbridge was fuming. She drew her wand and started advancing. "You children will NEVER be faced with life-or-death situations. You are perfectly normal wizards and witches, who will not fight monsters. Simply because they do not exist." How thick could she get?
Annabeth glared at her. "We will never be faced with life-or-death situations? That's rich! Just like how you aren't an overstuffed toad in a pink sweater?" I thought Umbridge was gonna explode. Instead she did something even better. She tried to stun the demigods. The spell was flying at them, but a huge wall of gold blocked the spell. It hit the gold and exploded into shards.
The seven walked around the rims of their barrier. staring at Umbridge. Percy finally stepped forward. "If you think we will never be in danger, take my life for example. At twelve, I had to run for my life from the Minotaur, only to have it catch up. Hades then kidnapped my mother and I had to fight the over-grown cow without a weapon. I killed it after I ripped a horn off of his head. Then, I battled Ares, the god of war, and won. But before that, I had trekked across America to get to the underworld to find a lightning bolt."
"Then at thirteen, I sailed the sea of monsters and rescued the golden fleece. When I was fourteen, I went across country again, this time on a search for Annabeth. I killed the nemean lion, a manticore, a bunch of other monsters, and held up the sky. I still have the gray streak in my hair to prove it." He pointed to a gray stripe in his hair.
"Then at fifteen, I traversed the labyrinth, saw the titan lord Kronos rise, and killed even more monsters in a huge battle at the end of the summer. At sixteen, I fulfilled a prophecy made about me seventy years before I was born, fought and won a war, killed a bunch of titans, bared the curse of Achilles, and a bunch more. A few months after that, I was kidnapped by Hera and sent to Camp Jupiter. I went on a quest to Alaska, the land beyond the gods, and defeated a legion of ghosts. Then I went back to Camp Jupiter, where I defeated the giant Polybotes, and was made praetor of New Rome. Then I went to Old Rome with these lovely people right here, and fell into my beautiful Wise Girl here. Then once we got out, I had to fight in another war, killing Gaea and a heck of alot of giants, and dying. I somehow came back to life, and here I am now. And that is just the severely watered down version. Now, you were telling me we would never be in danger?" All of the wizards sat there speechless, including Umbridge for once. Harry, Hermione, and I were the only ones not really surprised. We had heard the real stories before.
"And by the way, this is for the poor toads out there in the world who just happen to look like you. Also, did I mention I gave up immortality?" With that, Percy blasted her in the face with a stream of water so powerful, she rocketed back up to the castle. Percy took a bow, grabbed Annabeth around the waist, and walked out of the pitch, the rest of the demigods following, leaving behind a silent crowd.
Has Umbridge gotten enough karma yet? NOOOOO! MWA HA HA! Anyway, I love all of you guys, don't fight a hydra,(Unless you have a cannon) AND BOOOOOOOOOOM! (shakalaka)
