I'm sorry if the fight scenes suck ...

----------------------------------------------

Steve POV

We all start screaming as the whip connects with Percy's body. He instantly falls unconscious as the rest of us watch in horror.

The monsters turn towards us with sadistic grins on their faces as they start to beat us up.

Us Avengers only get a bad beating and a few cuts. The gods, on the other hand, get whipped and ... I'm sorry, I just.. I can't even think about what happened to them. Let's just say unthinkable things were repeatedly done to them for ten minutes.

Anyway more monsters come in and torture the gods for a few minutes. After about ten minutes they start untying us, moving us outside (still with the metal that sucks our powers on) and re-tying us up outside.

I look around at the hundreds of monsters gathered around us in the underworld, wondering how we are going to get out of this situation.

I look back at who to ask only to find half of our troops are unconscious and/or bleeding heavily.

If this were a normal situation at this point I would be praying to god but ... all of the gods are already lined up beside me bleeding. And... Is that gold blood? What...?

It's then that I realized that the gods can't help us in this situation. This metal weakens GODS powers. They have no power as long as the chains are still on them. On the other hand us mortals aren't weakened by this at all. If only I could break my chain and then break everyone else's chains as well, mainly the gods's chains. So that the gods can actually do something.

Right I have a plan. Now to put it into action.. That is much easier said than done. I groan inwardly trying to think of how to break these chains. I'm not that strong, right?

My thoughts are broken off by Tartarus's booming voice; "Monsters! Titans! Giants! We are gathered here today to witness the down fall of arguably the most powerful beings on Earth. Second only to the primodorals, myself included. Today we will watch them suffer!!"

I do not like the sound of that.

All of the monsters clap and cheer and make awful noises in agreement. Man, I am so glad that our torturing gets to be entertainment (note the sarcasm).

Tartarus continues on with his speech but I'm not paying attention anymore, instead I try to get a good grip on my chains and break them.

I can feel someone watching me and I look up to see Tony. He nods in understanding before beginning to make work of his own chains. Soon Clint and Natasha start with theirs as well.

Let's do this, for Percy.

Percy POV

I slowly start to come back into consciousness only to see a change in scenery from where I was knocked out. How nice. Not.

I glance to my left only to see half the gods passed out and the other half looking like standing up is taking away too much of their energy. I looks to my right to see all of the avengers trying to break their chains. Good.

They must have realized that the gods (myself included) are immobile with these chains on us. If they can break out of their chains they can then break ours for us.

Unfortunately the chains aren't breaking easily.

Suddenly I hear a war cry, followed by a big chunk of monsters at the back falling down, dead. I try to get a better look at who is attacking the monsters only to see a sort of fog thing...

I don't understand but I feel a connection to this fog.. Weird, right? I'm probably crazy. Yep, it's taken eight years working for the gods to finally go bat sh** crazy.

The fog keeps on plowing over and killing monsters until it finally reaches the stop in front of us. I take a better look only to realize it isn't fog! It's my nine best friends that died in the war!

Thalia, Jason, Hazel and Nico are using their powers to ground monsters into the ground, Piper is charm speaking monsters to kill each other. Meanwhile Leo is burning monsters.

Frank and Annabeth run towards us.

"Hey Seaweed brain. Need some help?"

"Hey wise girl, nah, man, we're fine..." I reply back casually. She laughs and shakes her head, and just hearing her voice gives me the strength to carry on.

Then Tartarus decides to ruin the moment.

"What are you fools doing? You're dead! You can't save them! They are my prisoners for all of eternity!"

I scowl at him. Like hell I'm just going to sit here and let him torture my friends.

I try to gather the power that I had when I broke out of Kronos's prison but it just isn't there. Why am I so weak?

I glance at the avengers to see them all unchained, they stay still to pretend that they are still locked up to avoid suspicion though. I look at Steve in the eye and his thoughts are clear 'C'mon Percy what the hell do we do next? We're waiting for you to tell us'. I shoot him back a look which clearly says 'figure it out yourself, I'm kinda busy..'

I turn back to the situation at hand only to see a sight that makes my blood boil and my emotions rage with anger.

Tartarus hits Annabeth.

Tartarus dates to hurt Annabeth.

Tartarus dares to hurt MY wise girl.

He is going to pay.

My mind goes blank as I glare so harshly at Tartarus that everybody near us flinches at takes a couple of steps back.

I don't care if I promised myself I wouldn't use this technique, Tartarus has hurt Annabeth which is completely inexcusable. I concentrate on the water within Tartarus's body and bend him towards my will.

My chains are broken off by someone .. Steve, I think... But I couldn't care less.

I slowly stand up while using my powers to push Tartarus down. Something is happening around me, probably my forces beating the fudge out of Tartarus's pathetic army.

I'm not thinking straight as I concentrate on the water in Tartarus's blood and speed up the flow of the water. Tartarus's expression turns to complete shock as I tear him apart from the inside by freezing the water into little tiny water knives that cause even more internal bleeding.

"Don't ever touch my friends again." My voice is deadly calm and icy, I watch as he shivers.

"Go back to your pit, Tartarus. And never come back." I snarl before controlling him to stalk over to his own pit and plunge down into the dark abyss.

With that I look around to see all of the fighting has stopped and I crumple to the ground because I used to much energy in defeating Tartarus.

Annabeth POV

I gathered the seven and Nico and Thalia before setting off to the pit. Rumors had spread that Tartarus was stirring looking for revenge on his wife. Which means that MY boyfriend will most likely be the first to be hunted down and killed.

Because everybody in my little group owes percy their lives .. we decided to help out.

So anyway as we're walking to the pit we see a huge crowd of monsters gathered around cheering about something. I look at my friends and nod.

Now being dead means that we can't really help out in hand to hand combat. We can't physically pick up a sword and fight people but we can still use our powers. Therefore we can still beat the fudge out of every monster in sight.

Thalia and Jason use their powers to create winds and knock monsters off their feat while Nico and Hazel have summoned an army of skeletons to hack at anything and everything in our path. Piper is charm speaking monsters to 'kindly stab the monster beside them with their claws'.

Frank and I don't really have powers so we use this thing that I developed called 'ghost mist' in order to create a sort of camouflage. Leo is- wait. Where the Hades is Leo?

I look around behind us to see Leo running around on fire singing "This girl is on FIIIREE! FFIIRREE! This girl is on FFFFIIIIIIIRRRREEE!!!!"

"Leo!" I yell at him, "Shut the f*** up before I go over there and make you!"

He stops singing and pauses to look at me sheepishly. I sigh.

"Just .. argh. Go and run at the monsters and kill them with your fire, okay?"

He nods, then continues singing off key and running into the monsters. After a few verses he switches the chorus to;

"The monsters are on FIIIRRREEE!! FIIRREE! FFFIIIIRRREEE!!"

I sigh exasperatedly, he's just so... annoying sometimes.

Anyway so we advance to the pit, knocking out monsters as we go. When we finally reach the centre of the pit I see something I never thought was even possible.

The Olympians, Percy and the Avengers are all tied up to a horizontal pole that is situated about six feet off the ground.

My mind fills with rage as I realize that the chains are made of Platinum (AN I know this isn't true but just go along with it). Platinum is the only known metal that depletes a gods power. I take a closer look to see that half of the gods are unconscious from excessive bleeding.

I make eye contact with Percy and run over to him while the rest of our group covers my back. Frank follows me for back up incase a monster comes or something...

"Hey Seaweed brain. Need some help?" I ask percy sweetly. Both him and I know that he's in deep trouble but I can't resist asking him anyway.

"Hey wise girl, nah, man, we're fine..." I can't help it. I burst out laughing at the fact that he says it so causally when he can't even stand up properly. Oh seaweed brain...

I'm not paying attention to my surroundings so I don't notice Tartarus coming up from behind me and trying to stab me through the stomach. Unfortunately for him I am already dead therefore the knife passes straight through me without hurting me at all.

Super unfortunately for him, from the look on percy's face he forgot that I couldn't die and therefore will beat the fudge out of Tartarus. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

I watch in awe as Percy somehow breaks through the power of the platinum and gains control of the water in Tartarus's body. What? When did he learn to do that?

'Arrgh c'mon Annabeth focus! we have more important things to think about right now!' I mentally scold myself.

Five of the Avengers break out of their chains and help everyone else break out of their chains. A guy with a huge shield strapped to his back, who I recognize as Steve Rogers, is the one that unties Percy's chains.

Percy doesn't give him a second look as he stands up and strides forward with such confidence and power radiating off of him I have to stop myself from bowing. I watch in fascination as Percy takes control of Tartarus and starts killing him from the inside. Wow, percy has picked up some new techniques.

I turn around to find all of the gods untied and the ones that are still conscious immediately start destroying the nearest monsters. The new guys can also fight, not that I'm surprised I mean they are the avengers. But it's nice to know that the media is actually telling the truth instead of saying that they are powerful when they're not.

Taking out all of the monsters is surprisingly easy, there weren't many left after my little groups raid and with the help of the gods the monsters were eradicated in about 30 seconds.

We then watch as Percy exchanges a few words with Tartarus before plunging him into the pit. We all gawk at him. Did he just defeat a primodoral in under 30 seconds?

That's my last thought as he collapses from exhaustion. I am the first to react and run to catch him ... only that he falls straight through me because I'm made of mist. Right.

Poseidon then comes up and scoops Percy into his arms.

"Thank you for coming Annabeth, we wouldn't have made it without you causing that distraction allowing the avengers to untie us."

I smile at him, "A daughter of Athena always has a plan..."

He smiles back before walking away. My mother comes to me next.

"Annabeth ... I.."

I cut her off, "I know mum, I'm sorry too. And I love you so much. When he wakes up .... Tell Percy that I love him. Tell him to live his life and that when he comes to Elysium I'll be there waiting for him, okay?"

She smiles at me, "Okay."

I start to walk away but she says one last thing to me before I go back to Elysium with my friends.

"I'm proud of you, Annabeth."

I smile, those five words mean more to me than anything else in this world.. Other than Percy.
