Scene now shows Polyphemus fighting the soldiers
My brothers!
The rest of our fleet
They wait at the beach
And if we're defeated they're good as dead
"Why is he assuming that he's weak?" asked Hazel.
"Yeah," said Piper. "They don't need their assistance all the time!"
Straight ahead!
That is who we're fighting
"Oh, I would be scared!" said Frank.
"No surprise there." said Leo.
"Well you would be terrified then."
"And you would be frightened!"
"And you would be petrified!"
"And you-"
"Enough!" shouted Percy.
The two of them stopped arguing. Percy was like their big brother, everyone respected him and knew he deserved authority. He is a lovely, sweet guy who comforts them when they need it or teases them as well and even (occasionally) scolds them if they are being mischievous.
Soldiers at the ready to attack
No backup
No chance for support
So draw out your swords
Our foe must be thwarted right here and now
Show me how great is your will to survive
Army attacks
Hazel couldn't look at the fighting, it was too much blood and gore for her to bear and so closed her eyes. Percy stood up from his part of the couch and scooched next to Hazel and comforted her by giving her a big hug and she kept her head on Percy's shoulders. Annabeth wasn't jealous at all and she smiled at how much of a big heart her boyfriend had and resumed playing.
Six hundred lives at stake!
It's just one life to take!
And when we kill him then our journey's over!
"Far from over." said Jason.
"They have no idea what they're gonna face." said Nico.
No dying on me now!
Defeat is not allowed!
"If only that was a real thing, for defeat to not be allowed. We'd win without putting any effort." said Thalia.
"That would be great." sighed Jason.
"And you'd be my baby brother again."
"I'm older than you know and taller."
"Yet you'd always be my baby brother."
We must live through this day so
Fight, fight, fight!
Surround him! (Surround him!)
Attack from behind!
Keep distance in mind
"I love the strategies he comes up with." said Annabeth.
"I agree! It would take many Roman generals to come up with an attack like this and months of planning yet Ulysses- I mean, Odysseus, comes up with them on the spot! Remarkable." said Reyna.
And stay in his blind spot
And strike his heels (Strike the heels!)
"Cyclopes are not that big. Reaching up to their heels would be giant height." said Will.
"But in the older days, people were much smaller so Leo would actually be average height back then!" joked Percy.
"Hey! Why are you always on Frank's side." complained Leo.
"'Cause he's my favourite younger brother, cool and calm yet you're just annoying."
Of course, they weren't really brothers and sisters but they were as close as them.
Show him that we're deadly!
Exhaust him! (Exhaust him!)
Don't let him get close!
He's strong but he's slow!
He can't land a blow if we're out of reach!
Find a breach!
Stand up and fight for your lives!
"He puts Chiron's plans to shame."
(Six hundred lives at stake!
It's just one life to take!
And when we kill him then our journey's over!)
Push forward!
(No dying on us now!
Defeat is not allowed!
We must live through this day so fight, fight, fight!)
Polyphemus grabs a club and hits Polites
Everyone was in pure and utter shock. They paused the video and took a couple of minutes to digest what had just happened. The Polites was now dead, most of them didn't even know that he would die, let alone this early.
"No..." teared Annabeth.
"It's always the kind who falls down first," said Reyna. "It is the sad truth about life."
"And to think that I despised him..." started Clarisse, even tearing up a bit. "I'm so sorry..."
Clarisse felt the same emotions she felt when Selena died in the Second Titan War. Everyone went up to Clarisse and comforted her for a while and rubbed her back and used tissues to dry the tears on her face.
"It's okay, he might survive." said Annabeth. "In the Odyssey he doesn't die this early."
Captain
Polites is dead
Clarisse began to fully cry now knowing that he was dead. Reyna, Thalia, Jason and Percy began to feel upset as well, they were all leaders and they had felt these emotions several times when their friends or peers had died. They began to think in their mind everyone they knew that had died: Zoe, Bianca, Selena, Charles and so many other campers or friends and maybe even family as well. All four of them knew how Odysseus must have been feeling at the time.
Enough!
He's got a club!
He's got a clu-
Another one is dead
Hazel, Grover and Piper (terrified) hid behind the sofa and clinged on whoever was in front of them to protect them as if Polyphemus was going to pick them as their next targets.
What are our orders?
Captain?
Capta-
One more dies
Another falls
Leo, Frank, Will joined them behind the sofa and began using whatever they could find as protection - pillows, blankets, empty packets of crips or basically anything they could find.
You've hurt me enough
Six hundred lives I'll take
More die
Six hundred lives I'll break
Even more of the crew fall lifeless
And when I kill you then my pain is over
You're dying here and now
More die
Escape is not allowed
More die
You won't live through this day now
Die!
More die
At this point they were all huddling behind the sofas and made a fort like ten-year-olds would make during sleepovers in order to hide. They all had their weapons in their hand and kept the weaker and younger one sin the middle and they closed their eyes. After around ten minutes of hiding, they finally regained the courage and unpaused the screen.
Diii-iii-ii-ieee
Polyphemus falls down unconscious in front of the entrance of the cave
"What just happened?" asked Will.
"I have no idea." said Thalia.
"Did he just fall down to the ground for no reason?" questioned Leo.
"Don't be an idiot, of course not. What did happen though?"
Everyone glared at Annabeth yet she had no clue either. She was so full of fear that she couldn't even remember how Odysseus's men escaped from Polyphemus's cave or even if they did escape.
