(Recap: "Oh yeah? Then what's that?" Percy said painting behind End to Filos and some one else.
End froze, so did everyone. Mostly in confusion, but some *cough* end *cough* in horror like they'd never felt before. Riding Filos was an old friend of Percy's his hands carrying the exact cube end had described.

"Hello Percy. I hope I'm not too late to give you this?" he said and threw the cube at Percy, who caught it reflexively. The figure jumped from Filos and joined Percy's side. Meanwhile Skylar too had gone on to join the two. She stood on one side of Percy while the figure on the other. She replied to the figure "Oh no, welcome to the party. You're just in time."
Percy added "Or we should rather say, welcome back to the party. He's apparently been dead after all. Haven't you, Omega?")

PERCY'S POV

End was confused more than anything else.
"Ho...how? I saw that! I saw that stupid bird kill you!"

"Oh please. You actually thought he'd throw me on some weapons and I'd die? Just like that?"

A being's face couldn't have been more confused than end's was at this point. I was pretty comical.

"This war is so confusing! First the girl springs up from the dead and destroys half my army, then you appear out of the blue! With that cube! How?!"

Even the campers were murmuring amongst themselves, utter confusion eminent in their faces. I couldn't blame them. Confusion was what it was meant to create.

"Leave the thinking to the adults and concentrate on dying end." Skylar said.

"You filthy daughter of Chaos... You... You-"

"Tskk Tskk. Leave the cursing to the adults as well end." Skylar cut him off. Then she began a string of greek words directing them at end, words that the school would probably expel you for using. The campers just stared at her, not used to seeing her swear openly like that. But Skylar is...well, Skylar.

"Badass." I muttered. She smirked in response, while end stared at her, his facial expressions changing with every passing second. In the end (Oh the puns, when will they end? Probably when End ends... Oh uhm... ) he settled for anger.

"Doesn't matter. I'll kill you! I'll kill you all! I'm End! Nobody can defeat me!" end roared.
Cue a roar of laughter from Omega.
"Haha! Could you be more naive and stupid, End? I mean, look around you! Your army is either dead or has deserted you, Gaea is dead, you are up against all the three of us plus the campers and the wild, and we have the cube! How you still hope to have a chance is beyond me." Omega said.

End was staring at Omega with a bit of confusion and anger. I decided to end end's misery (oh the irony) and tell him what was actually going on.

"Stop making that dumb face end. I'll tell you what happened here. Our intel reports had confirmed your numbers, and bluntly speaking we had no chance. To top it off Reyna was down and Gaea was with you. I didn't know what to do. When Skylar and Elmont told me that you and Gaea were attacking on the same day, at first I was scared, but then I realized the situation was an opportunity. To destroy you both on the same day and finish this war. Grover was obviously on my mind since the day I came here, but I needed to wait for the right moment. I did. That same day I went to Grover and asked for his help. He being the kind soul that he is, agreed to help, burying his old hatchets. But I knew if we wanted to stand a chance, we'd have to do more. So on my way to Grover, I thought hard, and decided that the only way to defeat you would be to infiltrate your ranks from inside. That of course is easier said than done. I couldn't buy a monster, and I needed that spy in a position of power. Impossible. Then I wondered. What if instead of sending an unknown nobody to gain your trust, I sent a powerful ally your way. Skylar crossed my mind, but I didn't want to hide the spy's identity or it could prove the end if revealed before time. Besides, nobody from the current army could be used as we were already short on numbers. So I thought, and it wasn't long before Omega crossed my mind. Omega is one guy I can rely on, and even retired, I knew that tough times called for big favours. So after I met Grover, I set out to search for him. It wasn't long before I found him, I knew where to look. I briefed him about the situation, asked for pointers and laid my plan in front of him. He immediately agreed, not a moment of hesitation."

"So you sent Omega to me. That I get, but how on earth did he kidnap Skylar, kill her, then bring her back from the dead?" End asked still confused. Annabeth facepalmed at End's stupidtity while most of the others were looking at end like he was the biggest fool in the whole wide world. That could actually be true seeing how low his IQ seemed to be.

"Some people are foolish, like Gaea or Kronos. You, end are beyond foolish. I bet Lord Chaos would be having a good laugh if he was hearing this. Omega never kidnapped Skylar. Skylar willingly went with him after decimating your tiny army. Omega then tied Skylar and all that followed was merely acting. Oscar winning performance though. Those wounds, they were created with little pain. They were in places where it would hurt less and look very painful. Then an iris message was planned. The same one that Omega sent us at camp, threatening to kill Skylar if I didn't back off along with my armies. Skylar acted beautifully, and that concluded phase one."

"But you just said that Skylar didn't know about the plan. You came up with the plan while on your way to meet that satyr."

"Good, you're finally asking the right questions. You see, the plan was fixed even before I met Grover. And I needed Skylar's help, so I sent a letter to Slylar via Grover. I trusted Grover the most, so I believed he wouldn't read the letter or ler anyone intercept it. The letter just said 'North side, trust the commandy'. North side is where she was to meet Omega, and commandy referred to Omega, his nickname me and Skylar sometimes called him by."

"But I intercepted that iris message! And it would have been a major setback when you realized that I didn't believe you'd actually quit!" End said proudly.

"Back to your stupid self aren't you. We did not only hope, we knew that the iris messages were being intercepted by you. We counted on you not believing that I'm leaving, we counted on that message being enough for Omega to gain your trust. And that's precisely what happened. We laid a plan, you fell for it. Once we knew the fish was trapped, all we had to do was let the hook invite you more before pulling you up and cutting you off. So Omega dug deeper into your lair, found evidences of your conditional immortality. He dug deeper and found your cube. He of course couldn't get it out while you and Gaea were there. So we staged a fight wherein Filos fake killed him and that earned him the time to get back and get the cube. The very one in my hand." I smirked.

End was stunned into silence. He couldn't beleive he'd been fooled so easily by us. Well, we're not amateurs.

"You may have done everything perfectly. But she is still alive" End said while pointing to Skylar.

"Which means he will have to give up his soul to the Styx. He swore an oath that he had killed Skylar." End smiled victoriously, only to be bogged down once again.

"The oath, if you remeber correctly, went somewhat like this :
"Leave her? Oh excuse me. I forgot to swear to something else. I swear, Percy that when you go to that museum.. You will indeed see Skylar, although she might be a little... Unconscious. "

"Unconscious? What do you mean?"

"Oh you know, Unconscious as in when somebody dies?".............
.......
"Have it your way. I just swore by the Styx. And still if you're not satisfied, I swear on the styx that I used these very hands of mine to strangle her."

"Play of words." End whispered, shellshocked.

"Yes. I did find Skylar unconscious, and omega had indeed strangled her. But only with a normal chord and only till she passed out. In normal terms, that was not at all fatal. Those were the parts he swore to. He just combined her death with them, but never actually swore to that. So no End, Omega didn't break any vow. He upheld his side, and he's safe from the wrath of Lady Styx. You though, might have to worry about your safety now." I threatened, taking a step forward. The other two followed suit while the campers watched the show.

Omega attacked end, but end blocked it. Skylar came from the other side and attacked him. She rattled his defenses, but couldn't get through since end pushed Omega back and countered her. While that exchange was taking place, Omega recovered, charged again and hit bullseye. End recoiled from the pain in his stomach and Skylar charged again. They kept mercilessly pounding end until he was close to being destroyed. Then they motioned me, and I threw the cube I was holding on one of end's injuries. The sight that followed was gross and clearly not meant for kids. The cube, as soon as it touched the injury, began pulling end's ichor slowly from his body. The cube was literally sucking End dry. End kept on weakening and finally fell on the ground with a pale face, no blood left in him. All the while he was screaming in agony and terror, gut wrenching screams one after another. A few campers had to cover the eyes of the younger canpers , there were campers as young as 7 years after all.
Finally the scene was over, so was end, so was the war. At first thw campers just looked at tha sight, some half fearing a reincarnation like the last time. That group included us three, the cube was an unused legend piece and we weren't sure of its effects. However, when nothing happened in about 5 minutes, Skylar said "I think it's over. He's gone."

Once again the campers started celebrating. All the couples kissed passionately, that included me and Skylar. We had done it. We had defeated an enemy we were hopelessly outnumbered against, with just one plan and a bit of improvisation.
