PREVIOUSLY ON 'LAST BATTLE'
"I Hermes, god of messengers, travelers, and thieves solemly swear if anything occurs to Ezabeth of Olympus, jewel of Olympus, the blessed goddes, I will not let fate be harsh on Anehta Josephina Areh of Olympus, the beloved" Hermes swore, making the earth shake.
"Thank-you" I whispered.
"Just come back okay?" he begged.
I faintly smiled, "I'll try my best" before turning around and jumping into the endless dark pit, that led to Tarartus. The very place were I had once sworn not to ever step in again.
Nikki P.O.V.
"So to get things straight, I was kidnaped and brought to the Princess Andromeda all while I was asleep?" Percy asked sounding like he didn't believe me.
"Yea. Well I think so. I just found you in the ship, knocked out cold. I didn't even know if you were alive at first" I confessed gingerly sipping the cup of Starkbuck's lemon tea, Percy had bought me after we reached the shore. Apparently if you give mortals a piece of paper and TRY to put mist over it, they can still see it. But then again I used the word 'TRY'.
Thankfully though an old lady saw me shivering against the cold breeze and bought me some tea, muttering about how kids this days didn't care if we got sick or not because we have much more medicine then back in 'her day'.
"My version is similar to yours, though not quite the same" Percy admitted playing around with my 'sip with care' cap of my drink.
"You remember what happened?" I asked. He haven't mentioned anything before so I just assumed that he didn't know anything at all. That happens sometimes when you mess with the gods. I should know, trust me.
"Yea. Why wouldn't I? I was out, I wasn't dead or anything...right?" Percy sounded offended.
"No! No. You weren't dead. It's just that I didn't think you remembered anything since you hadn't said anything in the first place" I assured him rushing it at first.
A car honked behind us, letting us know that we were still crossing the street when the light turned back to green. Realizing that, we rushed to the side walk and began our discussion.
"Wait, what DO you remember?" I questioned, taking another sip of my now lukewarm tea. Where we're we anyways? I looked around to see if I recognized anything. I didn't.
"I just remember waking up and this strange girl walked in and started talking about crazy stuff then..." he trailed off.
"Then what?" I was so anxious to know what happened. All I know right now is that we need to go to Olympus to inform the gods that Percy was kidnapped.
"...I don't remember" Percy sounded frustrated. "I KNOW that I'm missing something. I just don't know WHAT"
That is strange. Well not really. You can never predict a god, and by my guess predicting what a Titan will do is the same. Your like telling a blind man to read or drive. And trust me, that's a hard thing to do.
"Well...do you know where we're at?" I randomly asked Percy. Hey don't judge me, I have ADHD remember?
"Ummm, no. I have no idea" Percy looked around in confusion. Searching for the nearest person, I walked over and tapped them on the shoulder. "Excuse me can you tell me what city this is?" I asked. The person I tapped looked to be about seventeen, he was leaning against a shop door texting someone.
"This is-" he suddenly cut him self off and looked at something behind me with wide eyes. Looking over my shoulder I didn't see anything unusual, in fact aside from Percy behind me there wasn't anything or anyone from the street that would pop out. He must be a nutt-job, I concluded starting to walk away.
"What are you doing here? I thought they had kidnapped you!" the guy suddenly snatched Percy's elbow when he had turned to walk away.
"Hey!" Percy shoved the kid away, pulling his pen/sword out in the process. "Who are you?" he questioned threatening to slice the kid in half.
"Wow dude I don't think that would be a good idea" the stranger kid held out his hands in protest, despite his joking tone.
Suddenly the kid was no where to be found and in his place was a six foot seven guy with a buff looking figure. Immediately I knew who -or more like what- it was. A god. Even though I'm a Demi-god, I haven't ever meet a god in person, EVER. So you might understand why I did what I did.
"Holy Mother of what's good to ya!" I jumped up in surprise and went behind Percy. "Here take him! I eat to much junk food to be good!" I pushed Percy towards him as an offering.
The man looked at me strangely before bursting out with laughter. "Me eat HIM!" he manage to spit out before laughing again. I just stood there dumbfounded. Percy though was glaring at me , probably because he didn't like being offered to a god as a sacrifice. Oh poor Annabeth what should I tell her?
When the man was able to quiet down after quite some time Percy asked, "Would you be able to tell us where we are Lord Triton?"
Lord Triton? As in... ugh I feel like such a fool! I've just sacrificed my half sister's boyfriend to his half brother. Now looking closely at his skin there was a slight greenish-blue color to it. Ugh, why didn't I see that before! I'm no good as a daughter of Athena.
"We young brother are in Portland. The real question is what are YOU doing here?" Lord Triton asked.
"PORTLAND? As in Oregon!" I shrieked. How could we in Oregon! I swear I was only on that ship for a few hours! How could we have gone all across the world and end up in the other side of the United States in a matter of hours!
"Where else is there a Portland in the states? Never mind don't answer that" Lord Triton cut me off before I could say anything rational.
"I swear you Demi-gods now a days are magnets of danger!" Triton muttered, mostly to him self though, because I was to busy gawking at him, while Percy was glaring.
"Lord Triton, would you be able to help us get back to the other side of he country? Perhaps Olympus?" I asked nervously, never having talked to a god before I was jittery. I don't know how Percy can always do this, and keep his cool!
"Yeah, sure. Father will probably kill me if I leave Percy here" Lord Triton shrugged, and with a gust of wind a moment later everything went black.

EZABETH P.O.V (a.k.a Bella)
Crushing the skull of the banished monster, I stood up while brushing my self off. I forgot how nasty Tartarus was. Bracing my self for the my next opponent I clutched my now bloody dagger in my hand while daring anyone -or anything- else to come forth and face my wrath. They were a few grows and hisses here and there but nothing dared to challenge me. At least not after what happened to the last eight or so contestants. Looking back at the now deformed monster, I walked towards an entrance to yet ANOTHER endless tunnel of darkness. Well endless is a bit dramatic, they did end eventually, it just seemed like eternity down here because you bump in into very...undesirable things.
Feeling something slither against my leg, I jumped away holding my dagger in position just encase of an attack. Thankfully it wasn't anything to worry about just a huge snake. Like one that you would expect to come from a Harry Potter movie. Snakes I could handle, but spiders...those were a WHOLE 'nother level of scary. They were more than scary, they were...horrible! What can I say? I'm my mother's daughter.
Do you know the saying, 'talk of the devil and he shall arrive'? Well it seems to be true, because not a minute later I heard the shuffling of eight enourmous feet. Now paying more attention to my surrounding I noticed that there were webs covering the walls. My first reaction was to sprint the Hades out of there but then I thought, spider venom can knock out almost anything with the right amount.
Well it's either now or never, I thought. Slowly making my way towards the sound, I peeked around the corner and saw the most disgusting scene in my life. Giant eggs were covering the floor of the tunnel and some seemed to be hatching already. Ew.
Babies. A.J.. Sighing I reminded my self that I had t stay strong and face my phobia for her. Oh if it wasn't for my mother I wouldn't have it! Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I cautiously approached the sleeping mother, holding my breath in the process. Bringing up my treasured dagger to stab it I paused for a second before bringing it sharply down on its head and slicing it off cleanly. There was a satisfying drizzle sound as the blood hit the dirt covered ground before turning into small specks of dust.
Rushingly I put some of its blood in my liquid container, I strapped it securely around my waist before heading back out. Well that was easy. I was expecting much more of a fight. But yet again I spoke to soon. As soon as that thought crossed my mind I was pushed forward like a negative to a positive.
After I was shoved forward for a few more minutes , I was slammed against something cold and hard. Groaning I got up ready to face my opponent. But what I saw instead made my blood drain out of my face. My opponent was ... Lera.
