Yay, I'm back. I have decided I am going to try to update every other day, and make each chapter over a thousand words. This story has 5k so far, and I'm pretty happy with that, since this isn't even a week old. I also have another story idea. I'm typing up the first chapter, but I don't know when I'm going to release it. If you think another story by me would be good, please review and say so! It's not similar at all to this storyline, but I think it is a great plot.
Guest chapter 3 . Oct 12
Wow, this is really cool- Thanks Mr. and Ms. Guest! I appreciate the love! :)
Percy's POV
I quickly stuffed the chest closed, and hauled it up. "Oh, gods, this is heavy." I gasped after pulling it up the many decks of stairs.
I yanked opened the hatch metal door, and the cries of battle reached my ears in seconds. The monsters were being pushed back, another Titanous ship already lost, and three other earthships were sunk. The rest were being pushed back, and were playing a desperate game of defense on the ship I was currently on.
How the hell was I going to get this big chest over to our side, I wondered. Oh gods, that's not good. My eyes quickly scanned the area, and saw a long piece of rope. Connect the dots, Percy, I told myself. I sprinted through the exposed deck, and many monsters saw me. One shouted, "Hey! Stop!" and sounded the screeching alarm.
Gods damn it. I slid down, and grabbed the piece of rope. Then I hurdled around the corner, and into an empty cabin. Or so I thought.
"Die!" screamed a evil cyclops, and his club swing towards my head, ready to crush my skull.
My demigod powers made the world seem to slow down, and everything was like that classic hollywood movie. The club hit me in the head, but it wasn't a direct hit, as I was able to jump back at the very last second.
"Alright, two things big and ugly. Don't announce your presence when you're about to throttle someone. Two, you're about to die, dung face." I said, as the angered cyclops swung his huge club at me, where I ducked, and bented the heavy metal outward. But that swing opened up his defense, and I slashed across his chest, and he exploded into dust.
"Bye." I muttered, and hurried over to the intelligence chest I had dropped when the cyclops tried to brain me.
"Ow…" I groaned. The club had really hurt. Like really hurt. I probably had a concussion.
I grabbed the rope and climbed up onto the captain's room, and perched on top of the ballista there.
As the enemy airship floated above me, like a gigantic cloud, I threw the rope up, and hurriedly climbed up, as the monsters below, shouted, and threw their weapons. An arrow grazed my arm, but the rest missed. I was lucky.
The enemy ship was withstanding a fearsome onslaught from our own airships. Crossbow bolts, bronze, and bold, struck into the leather and wooden hides like a knife through butter. Or a lot of knives through butter.
Luckily for me, I had caught the back end of the boat, and no one had noticed me yet. I stored the papers chest in a random cabin, and hacked at the first monster I saw, destroying it as I raked Riptide from neck to leg.
I didn't like killing from behind, but it was war, and what had to be done had to be done. Plus, these monsters wouldn't have had a second thought about it. It made me feel better about myself and I was just not a mindless killing beast who killed without mercy.
Silently, and like a complete ninja, if I do have to say so myself, I worked my way to the captain, and sliced the empousa's head off. I clutched the head by it's slimy hair, and I roared up.
"Your captain is dead! The battle is lost! Surrender and you may silenced with a quick death!" I shouted, my voice rising above the voices of battle. All the monsters turned and looked, and they were all scared, but defiant. Even so, they slowly laid down their weapons and accepted defeat.
Nico's POV
The fighting had stopped in the air, and we realized the boy who looked like the sea had made the remaining troopers surrender. Our airship bumped with theirs and our troopers boarded, forming a shield wall around me and Thalia.
"Who is the commander of the air fleet?" demanded the boy.
Thalia stepped up and shouted with formal wording, "I am, Colonel Thalia Grace, commander of Aerial Base Hunter Eleven, and airships, Eagle One Seven, and Flame Four Eight." Then, she added as an afterthought, "With me, is son of Hades, Lieutenant Nico di Angelo, commander of Grave Seven Seven. He has come along to assist us."
I saluted and gave him a nod.
He nodded back and said, "I have a plan to take out that last ship."
And with that he told us the plan.
Monster's POV
The demigods were pushing us back, but I could tell their supplies were getting depleted, and they were getting tired. Our mighty drakon still roared fire to whoever challenged us.
Suddenly though, the demigods ships and aerial support moved back, and retreated steadily.
"They're retreating!" I shouted, and the cries of hundreds of monsters yelled back. "They're breaking! They're done for!"
We pushed our ships forward, and we headed forward, our chance for victory coming back.
Then I noticed a dark shadow hovering above us. Yes! The airship is coming, too! They must have survived the battle when the demigods boarded.
I waved my arms motioning for it to stop, but it continued, and continued. Slowly, realization dawned upon my eyes.
"Stop! Stop!" I screamed. It never did.
Percy's POV
The airship exploded with a big gigantic fireball, that exploded, sucking in heat, and popped open like a miniature sun as the fire from the torches and tar on board both ships caught alight, and condensed.
The brilliant yellow and orange of the fire danced around in victory and happiness. I could feel the heat wave from here, and I was far away.
"Well, that's the end of that," said the aerial commander. What was her name. Oh yeah. Thalia, Thalia Grace.
"It sure is." I agreed.
The inferno exploded yet again, taking out a big chunk of the ship.
"Hey, what's that?" The boy, Nico, asked, pointing to my chest that I was carrying.
"Oh, that, it's just the plans for Kronos' and Gaea's secret invasion against Olympia.
Both Thalia and Nico gaped with their mouths open. "Don't want to catch any flies, do we?" I asked, teasing them.
They both snapped their jaws shut, but still looked at awe at it. "Of course, they will change their plans, they must know we have them, but we know they are invading, and their numbers and logistics." I said.
They both nodded, and then Nico's eyes widened. We have to get this to the command right now, who know's if they are going to press the little surprise they have and attack us."
Thalia and I nodded. News of battles traveled fast.
Nico disappeared into the shadows, which I gaped at until Thalia explained that he was just shadow traveling.
We waited a few minutes, where we chatted about nothing, and war tactics. Suddenly, a note scrawled in messy handwriting floated the ground.
Meet at Jamestown secret island, command will be there. Keep safe. -Nico
"Well, I guess we're headed to Jamestown." I said.
Well there guys! The battle is over and now the story can go on! Annabeth and Percy will finally meet in the coming chapters, and I hope you guys enjoyed! Have a nice day!
