Each team headed off as soon as Chiron had announced the rules.
The hunters weren't at camp, they were camping in Alaska, with Thalia leading them.
Percy positioned his players.
He put four Apollo kids, one Hypnos kid, two Tyche kids and the Nike twins, Nick and Nicky, on guard patrol, the Hypnos kid, Clovis, standing by the flag ready to put people to sleep, with Emma from the Tyche cabin helping keep him awake.
He sent Nico to Shadow Travel the flag, but since the last time Percy got injured, he forced Percy into coming with him, a plan Percy not only called stupid, but dangerous, however, Nico insisted and Percy still hadn't built up his will to the baby Cerberus eyes. As well as Hazel, their second shadow-traveller, who was participating just like the other roman members of the seven. So technically, the Blue team (Percy, of course) had 41 members, and the Red team (what other team is there?) had 82. An exact doublt.
Annabeth's team had herself and Jason on defense, knowing that Nico was likely to Shadow Travel, as well as three children of Ares, two other children of Athena, and the son of Dionysus as well as his girlfriend.
They'd sent the others to attack, knowing that if they used their numbers well, they could beat Percy's team. Regardless of whether or not that team had three children of the big three whilst they only had one, they'd still win.
Chiron sounded the gong and the game started.
Fifteen of Percy's team made their way across, the rest staying as either forward defense, backward defense, flag defense (which were the ones I'd mentioned earlier) or guard patrol.
She cursed as she saw the children of Hecate and Hypnos taking out their players one by one.
She watched some children of Tyche in a fierce battle against some children of Nemesis, all the while arguing about whether luck was real.
Suddenly she noticed a thickening of shadows, and out popped Percy and Nico. Darn it, she had not been counting on the probability of having to fight Percy as well!
Annabeth, Malcolm, Albert (son of Athena), Clarisse, Sherman and Mark took Percy, whilst Nico took Jason.
Sherman charged Percy, but he got a face full of sword hilt and a one-way trip to the land of Hypnos.
Mark jabbed at Percy with his spear, but Percy flicked the spear from his hand, as though he were battling a rookie, and stomped on both his feet, shoving him away.
Albert, a relatively new camper in his defense, threw a jab, which Percy parried, a kick which Percy jumped back from, and charged him, which Percy sidestepped, causing him to knock himself out with a tree.
Percy turned to Annabeth and Malcolm, "He's your brother?"
The two shrugged, before replying together, "We're not proud of it."
Then, Malcolm charged Percy, sadly, so did Clarisse. Percy jumped up, grabbed hold of the tree, and hoisted himself up, he heard the clang of metal, the thud of two bodies hitting each other, and the groans of two people who were definitely Malcolm and Clarisse.
Percy jumped back down.
Annabeth sighed, "Rookies."
She took out her Drakon bone knife, which she'd affectionately named 'To antitorpilikó,' a.k.a 'the destroyer'.
She threw in a jab, he parried. She thrust, he dodged. She lunged, he stepped back. She swiped, he jumped.
Meanwhile, Nico had summoned an army of Skeletons, and was currently fighting Jason.
The army had taken all the unconscious, and put them in their team's jail.
He and Jason were at a standstill, both equally matched. He needed Percy. He made three skeletons go to handle Annabeth.
Percy looked at him, and all it took was one glance before a mini-tsunami crashed into Jason.
That was when the Dionysus and Demeter kid(s) made their move.
Vines wrapped around Percy, grappling at him, immobilizing him and strangling him.
Nico's eyes widened. He ran to his boyfriend's side and instantly the plants dropped dead.
"Wow," Percy wheezed, "I don't think I've ever been that grateful to a person who's aura kills plants."
Nico smiled, "So, thank me after this, with a little…." His voice trailed off, his smirk grew, and suddenly Percy was a new shade of blue.
They grabbed the flag and shadow-travelled away.
They got to their side and raised their flag.
Their side went wild. They'd won, they'd won. Even though they knew they all outmatched the others power wise, there'd been that slight doubt, due to the fact that the other side's numbers doubled theirs, not to mention that the other side had both the rational and irrational, side of war on it. but that didn't matter, not now. They'd won and they were going to celebrate.
Half Blood style.
