Hey guys. Been busy. Exams are actually on going but I was feeling compassionate so... yeah. I tried.

This story... is about to end. BUT! But, drumroll please!

*drumroll*

I was considering on making a sequel. So... do you want or should I leave you guys in the last chapter?

Just an advanced question.

Okay? Okay. On with the chapter!

Nico's PointOfView

A roar from above sent my knees shaking like Hades. My weapon suddenly became heavy in my hand. My teammates were nervous for the upcoming battle upon us. It made me wonder:

How did I get myself in this stupid battle? This stupid war is interrupting my 3 projects and 2 home works.

The competition was up to three. North Wind (Guess where that came from and I'll dedicate the next chapter to you!) , The Wolves and us, Styx.

The microphone was taken by Annabeth, the she gave it to Percy. The two of them smiled at each other courageously. Good for them.

I breathed as Katheryn made her way to me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"..."

"..."

She then hugged me.

I hugged back.

"Break a leg, Neeks."

"Thanks. I'll need it."

"You do know that means 'good luck', right?"

"..."

I felt Kath's laugh vibrate on my neck. Her smell of cinnamon intoxicating my breathing.

"May the gods be ever in your favor." she said.

"Let's just hope that there are no peacekeepers in the crowd." I replied.

Someone, Leo, I think, coughed from behind us. We broke apart and glared at Leo shamelessly.

We climbed up the steps leading backstage, leaving the girls and the Stolls behind.

Jason's PointOfView

Upon reaching the warzone, I realized one thing a and one thing only: May Apollo and the Muses bless us.

Even Percy was fidgeting.

I didn't say I wasn't.

"Boys!" a voice said, shaking us all from our thoughts. "I need to know your band name, members and what each of those members do. Pronto!"

It was Ryan. Ryan Evans. Activities Director and adviser of the drama club.

After we did as we were told, he left without another word. And we went back to being a fidgeting mess.

Suddenly, Percy gathered his courage and stood up.

"Guys," he said. "we didn't practice... we didn't prepare. But, win or not, don't be sad. We had done much more than this. We can do this."

A little something called hope just suddenly flared up inside me.

I didn't realize I said that aloud.

"Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear." Nico said to me. (I am busting up quotes from The Hunger Games here...)

Frank's PointOfView

"I solemnly swear that you're up to no good, Leo." (And that's from Harry Potter... I'm sorry but I can't make up my own quotes right now.)

Leo smirked but frowned almost immediately. Uneasiness settled on us quickly.

We all stared at the passageway that leads to the stage. In about 2 minutes.. we are going to be forced to go through that passageway and sing on that stage with our girlfriends (including Piper and Katheryn... and the Stolls) and at least hundreds of people watching us. Judging us whether we're good enough.

Okay... way too deep.

Ryan called us and signalled us to go.

"Shoo! Go now. Remember to smile!"

We stood, looked at each other, and walked to it.

As we got nearer the light at the end, the more noise I heard. Loud and boisterous screams and yells were the only things I hear. Well, that and my beating heart.

Flashing lights blinded me upon getting out the cramped and tight space of the corridor. Before I knew it, I was in front of a guitar.

Leo'sPointOfView

My breathing went from normal to short intakes. My steps became shaky. My head started spinning. And my heartbeat went wild.

"You're the super sized McShizzle man. You can do this. Breathe." Jason said, changing his route from the front to the drums.

I did as he said and breathed. Whatiswrongwithme? Thisisaband competition, notawar.

But that didn't do anything but make me nervous even more.

I closed my eyes and opened them again. I gripped the controls as I scanned by band mates.

Percy didn't look nervous at all. That is... until I looked down and saw that his knees are so close together and he is shaking badly on his feet.

Nico gulped and continuously eyed the keyboard like it was a time bomb. He also took his time studying his piece.

Jason had the sticks locked in a death grip. Like Nico, he was also looking up his piece.

And Frank was too busy biting his lip and trying out his guitar.

Each of us were given a song for the competition. We had Therapy by All Time Low.

The curtains rolled up and we were spotted by the crowd.

"Guys and gals, I present to you, Leo, Frank, Jason, Nico and Percy: Styx!"

The crowd went wild and Percy sang.

(SongLyrics: Therapy by All Time Low. Imagine Percy singing this like the smexy half-blood he is.)

My ship went down  

In a sea of sound.

When I woke up alone I had everything:

A handful of moments I wished I could change

And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.

In a city of fools,

I was careful and cool,

But they tore me apart like a hurricane...

A handful of moments I wished I could change

But I was carried away.

Give me therapy.

I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything.

Therapy...

You were never a friend to me

And you can keep all your misery.

My lungs gave out

As I faced the crowd.

I think that keeping this up could be dangerous.

I'm flesh and bone,

I'm a rolling f--ing stone

And the experts say I'm delirious.

Give me therapy.

I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything.

Therapy...

You were never a friend to me

And you can take back your misery.

Arrogant boy,

Love yourself so no one has to.

They're better off without you.

(They're better off without you.)

Arrogant boy,

Cause a scene like you're supposed to.

They'll fall asleep without you.

You're lucky if your memory remains.

Give me therapy.

I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything.

Therapy...

You were never a friend to me

And you can take back your misery.

Therapy...

I'm a walking travesty

But I'm smiling at everything.

Therapy...

You were never a friend to me

And you can choke on your misery

Percy'sPointOfView

The crowd cheered when I finished the song. But I kept my eyes on Annabeth. Even with her hair in a messy bun, and her top all crumpled, she looked beautiful.

I give you permission to flirt. Annabeth had said. Just keep it to a minimum. I want to see their faces.

"Thanks everyone!" I said, putting my arm around my team. "Thank you for breaking our eardrums!"

Yeah. It ends there. I was too lazy to put multimedia but it's "Therapy by All Time Low"

I do hope you liked it. Too much quotes. But! Do tell me your answers. I would love some people voting too!

Dedicated to reecedemigodivergent because she helped me and she is awesome and I do hope she doesn't butter knife me. XD
