Annabeth
"What's the plan?" I squeaked. I looked up at the lumber mill. "Do we even have a plan?"
"Yes," Chieko said. "We can win if we follow this... I am the daughter of battle strategy."
"Hurry!" Alec said and we all huddled.
Cylena
Me and Alec huddled around the little kids. We did our best. I blasted a titan's foot with lunar energy. Then I took a hunter's bow and shot. Alec burned titans. I looked up at Annabeth. She snuck around, inside the lumber mill. This was excellent. If no titan saw her sneak in the lumber mill, the plan would go excellent.
I looked to my brother. We nodded, and continued to defend the little kids, who were trying their best to shield us.
Chieko
Me and Lucas fought the titans. Amazingly, we took down 3 of them... there were only 6 titans... suddenly, Sara screamed.
I turned my head. Kronos was ready to drop Sara off a tall rock. She would break both of her legs. I quickly threw a spear in between them, and Sara was freed. She hurried into the small crowd of the titans.
Annabeth
"Apollo, go and help." I told Apollo, who was watching my back. "Go take your revenge. I can slay Kronos myself. At least I hope."
Apollo reluctantly left. I heaved myself over a crate. Then I stopped at the foot of saws. And there was Kronos, holding his scythe of death. One touch of that and I'll die.
"So this is where your life ends," Kronos laughed. "You'll never defeat me!" He laughed, and pulled a switch. The saws began to move, and the lumber mill went to life.
I dodged the saw blades. I threw a shadowy blob at Kronos, blinding his face. Then I kicked him in between the legs. I snuck behind a crate.
"You can't hide forever!" Kronos screamed.
Sara
I stopped. There stood my father. I took a long look at him, Oceanus. Then he saw me.
"Sara?" He gasped.
I felt lots of emotions: angry, confused, guilty, happy, uneasy. I blinked. "Daddy?" I managed to say. I felt my necklace. He was the one who almost hurt Celestia. How could I afford to trust him? But I couldn't slay my dad! I just couldn't. What shall I do?
What shall I do?
Alec
I bit my lip. The titans just seemed getting stronger. I managed to get a glimpse of Chieko, Lucas, and Sara, but that was it. I stared at the lumber mill. I wonder what Annabeth was doing.
"Watch out!"
Cylena deflected a fireball with a hunting knife. She dropped it as it melted to the ground. Then she summoned a pack of wolves towards the titans. They howled in pain as the alpha wolves bit them. She summoned 2 more packs until there were plentiful.
Glinda suddenly got a huge vial of perfume, and sprayed a pink cloud of the stuff towards the titans. They were all coughing.
Then, I heard a growl. I turned around, facing Cerberus.
"I can't kill Annabeth's pet!" Cylena said.
"What will we do?" I moaned.
Then, all the little kids began to use their powers and removed the spell from Cerberus.
"Whoa." Me and my sister said.
Lucas
"We can stop distracting them." Chieko said. "Now we can do real fighting."
"NO!"
I whirled around. There stood Charon, holding two paddles. They dripped with the water of the Styx. "No. My Mistress will be satisfied."
"Dude," I carefully lowered his paddle. "First of all, you can stop saying 'Mistress' 'cause we already know she's Gaea. Second of all, Styx water can't hurt us. Third of all, stop being a boat ninja. We already wiped 3 of these losers."
"Lucas, look."
I turned my head and saw Sara being chained by her father.
Annabeth
I checked my nails. Kronos wasn't smart enough to know that I was hiding behind a crate. I quickly formed another shadow spear. Then, I formed a pile of pomegranate seeds and stuffed them into my pocket. I jumped up, holding the handful of spears. Kronos was gone.
I whirled around, and faced Kronos. I blinked at the sight of the scythe so close to me. Without thinking, I used a spear to cut the scythe's handle. The blade shattered on the ground.
"FOOL!" Kronos said. He did a backflip, and then did a front flip, and punched me.
"Ow," I rubbed my cheek. It was numb. Then I cut his hand with another spear. I did his other hand. Drops of ichor fell.
Kronos punched me again, and I landed in front of a blade, barely missing it. I tried not to think about the great pain in my face and shoulders. I hoped they were ok outside. Then I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for another blow.
Sara
I looked around. Everyone wasn't holding on. Apollo was somewhere in the chaos. I knew Oceanus was watching me closely.
"Dad," I started. "Why are you so cruel to my friends? The demigods never wanted to fight you."
"Daughter," Oceanus said. "Us titans were created to destroy the gods and whatever. Didn't you ever want to be a goddess yourself?"
"Yes," I said. I felt a pang of guilt since I wasn't following the plan: slay as much titans as possible.
"Then join me again."
I stared sadly into my father's old eyes. He seemed to be weary. He seemed to miss his accompany of his beloved daughter. But one word came out: "Ok."
I covered my mouth, but then lowered it as Oceanus pulled me into the crowd. "My demititan, do not fail me. I'll notice everything about you, don't worry. Dad's got your back."
Then why didn't Oceanus see a single tear of mine shatter on the frozen ground?
Alec
"Good. Dog." Cylena said very carefully. "Attack the titans!"
Cerberus barked happily, and his right head tossed a titan up into the air. He kept the titans a fair distance away from us.
"Good job," I said turning to the little ones. They grinned.
"Little demigods can remove curses when their combined." Helina and Gravy said. Glinda and Panda nodded.
"Keep it up." Cylena said.
We said that just as Annabeth burst out of the lumber mill's wall.
Lucas
It seemed if the battle was on pause. All of us, including Charon and the titans, stared at Annabeth exploding the walls. Kronos put himself on top of her.
"Calm. Down." Chieko said very slowly as I began to hyperventilate. "Annabeth is fine."
"How do you call that fine?!" But stopped as Charon hit my head with a strong slap of the paddle.
"Ack!" I heard Chieko said, and got hit in the head also.
We both began to cling ourselves to Charon's legs, hoping that would catch the titan's attention. The plan wasn't going out as planned.
Annabeth
"OW!" I said, slapping Kronos' face. I managed to give Kronos a delivery of bruises and cuts. I kicked him in the shin.
"YOU DESTROYED MY SCYTHE!" Kronos defended.
"Well, maybe you should've gotten a metal handle instead of wood!" I said. Then I threw a shadow ball at him, and summoned some skeletons to rip his hair out. Kronos whacked them off as soon as he was bald.
I felt my shoulder. It was scraped. My ankle was twisted. I had a split lip. As I felt my pockets for the seeds, my arms were held back. I turned my head, facing Sara. Tears were coming from her eyes and rolled off her cheeks.
I'm sorry. Sara mouthed.
"Sara? Why?" I asked, completely bewildered.
"Sacrifices." Sara said with a cracked voice.
Celestia
Me, Max, and Sam were watching the battle very closely from my pendant.
"No!" I cried.
"Isn't that necklace supposed to protect Sara?" Sam said, tilting his head.
"She isn't possessed." I said. "It's coming from her heart. It's telling her to help her evil dad."
"No!" Max said. "I should've gone in the fight!"
"Well maybe you could've offered before you raided Sam's room to release his Pokemon!" I groaned. I shook my head. "What we should focused on is the fact that Sara's going to the dark side!"
"What can we do?" Sam and Max asked.
"What we can do is attack Sara with the Celestial Spear." I unzipped my pack and took out a long spear, glowing green. "We can poke Sara with this spear, an that'll hurt her, even from a poke! But do not jam it in! That'll kill her." I said, and carefully began to poke her hologram."
Sara
I ripped my necklace away from me. I reluctantly threw it on the ground, shattering it. I didn't need it, now that I was joining the titans.
Suddenly, the earth opened up and out came Gaea.
"To test you," She said. "You have to kill Annabeth."
"Kill... Annabeth?" I murmured. Then, a sharp pain went on my forearm. A scratch came out of nowhere! Another one appeared on my calf. It didn't bleed, just hurt.
"Ahahaha!" Kronos laughed, his mouth wide open. Annabeth somehow broke her chains and stuffed pomegranate seeds into his mouth. Kronos swallowed them, surprised.
"Hope you have a great time in the hole you belong in," Annabeth said as Kronos disappeared into a swirling vortex.
"SARA HAS FAILED!" Gaea said. She began to create a mini tsunami to choke me.
"No!" I turned my head. My father took a chunk of dirt out of her, and Gaea screamed as she turned into dirt. The ground didn't cling to us anymore.
I realized that my father was the only titan left. I felt my pocket, for my sage.
Suddenly, a giant moon appeared next to Apollo. Out stepped Artemis. She smiled at her brother, and hugged him.
Then, Apollo and Artemis glared at me. "Consequences." They both said. I gulped.
"Fate will not leave you, hate will not heal you." Serah Farron
