RECAP; JUST THE PROPHECY: 

"The earth shall break and part way for hell, 

you will realize the lie in which you dwell. 

The lost hero shall reunite friends and foes,

But suffer worse than death to his woes. 

Indubitable, the sides may sound,

Misleading judgement shall lead to losses propound.

While Rome cringes in fright of the devil, 

The sea's anger shall rid the world of all evil. 

For destruction, for bloodlust the devil who pray,

Beware their life lightning shall slay."

NARRATOR'S POV:

"CHARGE!" Yelled Annabeth Chase, suddenly appearing in front of the Greek lines with a sword in one had and her Yankees cap in the other. Then she ducked, Percy threw her a shield that she reflexively caught after pocketing the cap. Piper rushed to her friend's side patiently. Rows and rows of arrows flew from above her head once she covered herself with the shield. The monsters weren't all hit in fatal spots, but the presence of a river around them made them fall and drown inside as soon as arrows hit them. The ones standing by the flanks were the most unlucky ones, the centre ones being able to take cover. Just as the first line was about to run out of arrows in their quiver, Annabeth yelled "Praetor Zhang, Cover!" And Frank barked an order and the Roman archers started raining down arrows at the monsters. While Frank and his men were firing arrows at amazing speeds, the first line of the Greeks raised their shields, crouched down and retreated from the sides behind the last line of the Greeks to replenish arrows and stand in formation.

The monsters were trying desperately to rally themselves and charge, but the constant aerial attacks were making it impossible.

Soon, Frank realized his comrades were running out of arrows and he yelled "Annabeth, cover!"

The second Greek line readied themselves and Annabeth shouted "Second line, kneel! Third Line, fire!"

The second line shot down to one leg kneeled position with shields as cover. The second line were the spear users. The third line, the archers who were aiming sideways began the attack. They fired various types of arrows - supersonic, aqua, flaming, Greek fire coated, and a few others. These attacks at such a high intensity created blasts after blasts at the sides of the army, rocking monsters here and there by the attack. The monsters soon realized that the arrows were only being aimed sideways, so they tried to go to the centre and raised their own bows to counter attack. They'd forgotten the second line though. The spear users were waiting for this opportunity. As soon as most monsters stood in the centre, spears were thrown towards them like javelins. Now of course you couldn't throw spears with the same speed or quantity as arrows, but still each camper had about five spears strapped to their backs and two in their hands. They didn't create as much damage as the first line, but it was enough to leave them in a disarray.

Soon there were no arrows or spears left, but by that time Annabeth had already once again asked Frank to provide cover and again the second and third lines retreated to the backs. With arrows raining down on them the monsters saw the fourth line ready to throw some vials of Greek fire, some throwing knives coated with Greek fire meant to blast on impact and a lot many weird devices.

Frank didn't have to yell for cover this time, as the crouched daughter of Athena had already calculated how much time the number of arrows the Romans had would last. Just when Frank was about to ask for cover, she yelled, "Fourth line, take positions!" And Leo, the Stolls and the rest of the line shifted to a throwing position - left foot forward and right hand containing the weapon of choice slightly behind the shoulder.

Frank and his army ran out of arrows, but this time Annabeth didn't tell them to fire. Instead she waited.

Piper stood up and used every bit of charm speak she possessed and yelled loudly "JUMP IN THE RIVER! STAB YOURSELVES! GO BACK AND SWEAR ON THE STYX TO NEVER COME BACK!" repeatedly. Her words lasted only a few seconds, the effect however lasted a long while. The skilled daughter of Aphrodite had pushed Gaea - a Primordial into a deep slumber, these were just minor monsters.

The monsters were in no way going to try an aerial attack, they simply weren't foolish enough. So instead they gathered themselves and thinking it was over, charged.

Annabeth waited a bit more before yelling "FIRE NOW!"

And the charging army witnessed traps and vials of fire and poison hurled at them in large numbers. Throwing didn't require an aim so the demigods just kept throwing whatever they had into the enemy numbers, blasting them and throwing them off their feet and sending them flying back. Blasts after blasts shook the enemy. Soon it was over, and the fourth line retreated under cover from Frank, who just like Annabeth didn't need Annabeth's call for cover. The son of Mars was and his soldiers were shooting arrows at enviable speeds, while the final line of the Greeks retreated to the back. Soon they were out of arrows, and Frank instructed his army to join the Romans.

He himself went on to stand beside Reyna who was on her Pegasus already. Hazel came out of the defensive Roman formation such that it wasn't disturbed and joined Frank. The plan was obvious - Frank would turn into whatever animal the soldiers needed and rush there with Haze to help while Reyna would engage with the stronger of the monsters.

Percy and Jason had joined Piper and Annabeth as the first line of the Greeks after having some ambrosia to rejuvenate them. They all held their breaths while waiting for the enemy to charge. The demigods had so far destroyed about 300 smaller monsters and a handful of Cyclops and of course the echidna and Chimera. The minotaur also looked pretty dazed while a few hydras had been burnt by fire. If it was a normal war, you could practically dance and cheer for the demigods. But the half bloods were well aware that at least half the lesser monsters would be back tomorrow. They needed to destroy as many as they could today itself. The monster army had regained composure, and with a yell of fury they charged - about 800 monsters against demigods just a bit above half their numbers. 

The Greeks, knowing that the Romans were a well oiled killing machine, especially the front line consisting of the first and second cohorts let Reyna begin the charge this time.

"ROMANS! TO ARMS!" She yelled, readying her army, while unsheathing her own sword. As soon as the monsters came a bit more closer, she yelled "CHARGE!" and the Romans charged into the battlefield, fueled by dedication and courage. As the Romans met the first  line of the monsters, Frank took out his spear and started attacking. Hazel looked to be waiting for someone. Just then, Percy flinched - he could hear a lot of swearing and cussing in his mind. And Hazel looked elated. Arion dashed to her side in a blur, she climbed on it and charged along with her fellow soldiers. Meanwhile Percy had already ordered the Greeks to be ready.

Annabeth, Jason, Piper and Percy looked at each other, nodded and Percy yelled "GREEKS! LET'S BASH THEIR HEADS!" The Ares campers had an appreciative grin and the Greeks charged, led by the first line consisting of four demigods of the prophecy of seven. Leo stayed in the back line with his siblings, while his girlfriend - a peaceful Titan was sitting out the war and working as a healer and an assistant to the Apollo cabin healers.

The Greeks attacked the monsters who were trying to attack the Romans but were unable to because of their formation. Some of the traps thrown by the Greek line were taking effect now as monsters stepped over it while charging and randomly exploded into golden dust. As the battle raged on, the demigods were taking on as many monsters and sending them back to Tartarus as they could. Percy faced his long time buddy the minotaur. He broke from the formation, but motioned for them to stay put as he was trying something new.

"Hey ugly face! You just don't learn your lesson do you!" He taunted the armoured monster who roared and brandished a axe, charging at Percy. Percy was ready. He knew the monster still had only the forward gear, so he waited patiently, and just in the nick of time jumped sideways. He rammed into the Greek shields and swords pointed at him, bellowing in pain and stumbling back. Percy began slashing at a high speed to further injure the disoriented monster. Jason summoned a lightning bolt that shook the monster and made him bleed profusely. Percy jammed riptide into his belly turning the minotaur into golden dust. Annabeth then motioned for the army to break formation.

The Greeks, who were clearly unused to fighting in disciplined and restricted manner yelled their agreements and charged the enemies like raging banshees. Jason would periodically call in lightning, or fly in the air to dodge while Percy was in a hurricane of his own, using his sword as well as the hurricane to kill monsters. The enemy was literally running away from the two children of the big three. Percy just chuckled at the reaction, wondering what would happen once Nico joined.

Due to the rift between them Annabeth and Percy were seen for the first time not fighting shoulder to shoulder while watching each other's backs. It pained them both, but Annabeth just wasn't ready and Percy would have to wait at least till battle stopped for the day to talk openly to his wise girl. He had decided to talk to all of them today itself.

The battle was on and the demigods were giving their best shot. Chiron, who was not in the formation was standing at a distance firing arrows and killing monsters who had demigods pinned down, his arrows just killing the monster before the poor demigod received the death blow. He could of course not save all of them as he saw a few fall down before he could even notch another arrow. The half bloods were fighting with commendable faith and dedication, but the sheer size of the army was still overwhelming, even after the Greeks dealt them the early blows. The Romans were seen losing formation and were now fighting almost like the Greeks.

Centurions Dakota and Hazel, the latter of whom was on Arion were fighting off three hydras at once. They managed to kill the first one with ease as Dakota swiped his sword through its leg to gain attention while Hazel and Arion achieved a liftoff and attacked from above. They decapitated its head and set fire to it. The second and third one attacked together, but the centurions were well trained. The Hydras spewed poison, but Dakota dodged out of the way while Hazel summoned three imperial Gold shields and made a layer of them to protect herself. Hazel then went on to decapitate the second hydra while Dakota kept the third one busy. Unfortunately, the one whom Hazel was about to attack saw it coming and blocked it, then countered her with so much force that she fell off Arion.

Meanwhile Dakota was busy slashing and dodging the other hydra. With no one to keep the second hydra occupied as Hazel was down, it caught Dakota unaware and spewed a large amount of poison at him. Hazel watched in horror as the poison hit him square on the chest and started burning Dakota - who was screaming in agony. She witnessed her fellow centurion literally burn to death and shivered unwillingly.  The Greeks were close by and Percy spotted Hazel needed help and Frank was busy, so he rushed to the spot. Percy had always liked the kind Kool-aid addicted centurion of the fifth cohort - once his cohort , that just died, so he and Hazel were both pissed.

They slashed and stabbed and rolled and sliced. making both the hydras yell in agony. Percy decapitated one while Hazel took care of the other. Percy motioned for Hazel to carry on while he went over to Dakota's burnt body and placed a drachma on it to provide him pass to the underworld. Meanwhile a few cyclops had started attacking Hazel. 

"Percy, a little help!" She called. Percy stood up and charged at the cyclops who were stunned at the grace and speed with which the son of Poseidon attacked. He was handling two of them while Hazel was busy with a cyclops and a telkhine. Hazel was making use of her Pluto powers, but summoning cursed metals only helped so much in a fight. She wished she could summon the dead like Nico. She was so engrossed that she didn't see an empousa sneaking towards her. Percy was almost done with his cyclops. He slashed at one of its legs and cut off its head before rolling under the other's feet and grabbing a knife from the ground and hurling it at the cyclops who bellowed in pain as the knife hit him in the stomach. He soon got up and finished it off as well.

He turned, and to his horror saw an empousa sneaking up on an unsuspecting Hazel. Hazel had become like a sister to Percy, and Frank or Nico would never forgive him if something happened to Hazel. He didn't have time to shout out a warning, so he rushed forward to deflect the nasty creature's claws. It was too late however, as the its sharp claws raked through a gap in Percy's armour and he screamed in pain.

The scream was all too familiar for most of the demigods, as they froze on their spots. Most of his friends - Reyna included dramatically shouted "PERCY!" and rushed to him. Hazel destroyed the empousa and realized what had happened.

When the rest came, Percy was lying in pain on the ground. Annabeth already had tears in her eyes. Even Hazel had tears streaming down her face. "CALL AN APOLLO CAMPER! NOW!" Jason screamed. Leo lit the circle surrounding them in fire so monsters could not attack them He stopped for a moment letting Will Solace in, then resumed the fire.

"It's not poison, but the blood loss might still prove fatal." He said, then stared in the distance for a bit before a slightly smiling

"Dad says he is allowed to heal Percy, it wouldn't break any laws as a Titan already made an appearance (Palas) and all though they can't fight till the main enemy shows up, he can heal serious wounds. We need to get him to the throne room."

The demigods still looked worried. Just then, a very weird yet very familiar war cry rang in every being's ears "Peanut Butter!" 

They all smiled. Zeus had after all called Tyson and his brothers from the forges. The fight was still on, but Tyson rushed towards his brother as soon as he entered the battle field. News travelled fast. Upon seeing Percy's condition, he was really upset.

"What happened to brother! Why all this blood!"

"An empousa got him. We need to take him to Apollo before it's too late Tyson, can you help us while we fend off the monsters?" Frank asked while hugging Hazel who was bawling her eyes out with guilt.

"Brother is back! I knew he didn't kill anyone or die! Monsters killing brother! Bad monsters! You take him, Tyson will kill ALL monsters" Tyson screamed in frustration and anger. He was confused how Percy was alive even after his execution, but was pissed off at the monsters. The demigods had never seen Tyson angry. Right now he was more than angry He was fuming, seething with rage. Percy had been so close to him and when Percy let out a moan of pain, angry tears were rolling down his cheeks. He clutched his stick tightly and yelled loudly at the monsters

"BAD MONSTERS!I WILL KILL YOU FOR ATTACKING MY BROTHER!" and he charged. The rest, as they say is history. He became a ball of rage, attacking and killing and smashing and bashing monsters black and blue. He had a sea green aura around him and it seemed that no monster was able to touch him. The blessing of Poseidon. The demigods stared in awe at the Cyclops as he cleared the field like it was a joke. The demigods that were fighting also attacked with renewed energy. Clearly the monsters were intimidated. For a moment they all froze, then as if they had all been ordered, began retreating. It was still some time to dawn, so no one had expected this, but apparently they didn't want to face an angry cyclops.

Tyson signalled for the demigods to carry Percy and move, and that's exactly what they did.
