Wherever he looked, he saw his fellow demigods fighting monsters within an inch of their lives. Gold dust and blood were the most common sight amongst the battlefield with demigod corpses scattered here and there. It looked about even with the Romans fighting on the left side of the battlefield and the Greeks fighting on the right. Some were even mixed together to form an unbreakable wall. Both sides united against a common enemy.

Percy was panting and covered in blood and sweat. The seven, Nico, and Thalia fought through the monsters to reach the Giants so they could finish them off with the help of the gods. They looked to each other and each gave a nod before separating to help their parent.

Percy ran over to his father, Poseidon, and yelled up to him, "You haven't killed him yet!?!" He smiled to himself as his sweating father flashed to his side. It was funny how similar they looked with their uncontrollable black hair and sea green eyes. Each having an unrestrained personality that couldn't be contained.

Poseidon smiled tiredly at his son and said, "Took you long enough to get here. I guess you're losing your touch." They both rolled to the side as Polybotes tried to impale them on his trident. They were instantly back on their feet and charged.

Percy said, "Touché" before dodging a swipe and slicing Polybotes Achilles tendon. Polybotes was able to move his foot quick enough to not do severe damage but it still cut deeply. While he was distracted, Poseidon was able to stab his trident into his leg before quickly jumping back, barely dodging the incoming trident.

"Dad, give me some water. I have a plan." Percy said. Poseidon didn't see how water could help them since Polybotes wouldn't be affected but he knew to just trust his son. Poseidon slammed his trident into the ground shaking the earth a little with the power behind it. Water seeped through the cracks and Percy summoned it to gather around him.

Polybotes just laughed and said, "No matter how strong your water attack is, it won't affect me. Just give up now and let's get this over with!" Percy just rolled his eyes and thought about how many times someone had told him to give up because he couldn't win. He had educated many people on how to do impossible things during those fights with the way Percy fought.

After gather enough water, he said, "Thanks dad. Now let's finish this!" Poseidon pulled his weapon out of the ground as Percy got into a ready stance with the water still swirling around him. Now, there was a big difference between a titan and a demigod other than just power. Titans were much, much bigger than a mortal and even slightly bigger than a god. Thus creating a little height difference.

Percy and his father charged at Polybotes while Polybotes just laughed and got into a ready stance. Percy used the water around him to create an ice slide that raised him off the ground. Polybotes wasn't expecting a high attack and had to shift his stance to accommodate. However, with all his focus on Percy's attack, he forgot about the other being he was fighting.

Poseidon swiped his trident at the giant's feet knocking him to the ground as Percy jumped off his ramp and stabbed Riptide into the giants the heart, creating a small earthquake as the heavy being fell. Poseidon quickly flashed beside Percy and stabbed his trident right next to Percy's sword. Polybotes stared up in surprise at the two before he started to crumble into dust. He was only able to give one last look of pure hatred before disappearing.

They both gave each other a nod of thanks and surveyed the battlefield. They were the first ones done but it looked like Porphyrion and Mimas were being overwhelmed with Zeus and Hephaestus being helped by their children. Percy yelled to his father, "I'll go help Annabeth and Athena. You go help Ares and then tell him to help Artemis and Apollo. They need a solely close range fighter to beat Orion."

They both headed off to their assigned tasks and Percy assessed the battle between the mother-daughter team against Enceladus. Athena was in full battle armor locked in combat while Annabeth was nowhere to be seen. Percy was slightly worried until he saw a slash against Enceladus thigh magically appear. He sighed remembering she brought her invisibility cap and charged to help. He melted the ice from his ramp and took it with him for some more surprises.

He started to notice the strain of carrying that much water but he just pushed it to the back of his mind. Creating another ramp behind Enceladus, he slashed his back, creating a huge gash, and judging by the huge roar of pain, it must have hurt. The surprise attack was all Athena needed to get the advantage over him. She used her spear to swipe his feet out from under him giving her daughter a chance to give a finishing blow.

Annabeth took off her cap and jumped onto the giant. She quickly jabbed her knife into Enceladus' heart followed by Athena throwing her spear, impaling the giant in the head. Enceladus also gave one last look of hatred before disintegrating into dust.

Annabeth said, "Thanks, Percy" before assessing the battlefield with her mother. The giants Polybotes, Enceladus, Alcyoneus, Porphyrion, Damasen, Mimas, Thoon, and Otis were nowhere to be seen meaning they were slain. Ephialtes, Orion, Periboia, Clytius, and Hippolytus were at a clear disadvantage now that they had to deal with multiple gods and demigods who got through the monsters.

They each separated to finish off the giants with Percy heading towards Orion, Annabeth to Ephialtes, and Athena to Clytius. Percy changed course when he saw the finishing blow given to Orion and headed to Ephialtes to make sure nothing happened to Annabeth. Once again, he had to change course with another giant defeated. As he was heading to the next closest giant, Clytius was given the final blow.

Percy yelled out, "Can you wait until I get there! It's like I'm not even needed!" A few of the older campers snickered at him while the rest were surprised by the carefree tone Percy used in the midst of battle. He looked over to the last giant, Hippolytes, and saw he was backed up against the wall with all the gods looming over him with every demigod behind their parents.

As Percy jogged his way over to the last remaining giant, he surveyed the battlefield and the cost of the war hit him hard. He saw many demigods laying skill without the spark in their eyes. Each one having a different fatal wound. One with blood pooling out of his throat from a long gash, another without a leg and arm who bleed out. He stopped looking around when he saw one without a head and focused on the giant, catching the last bit of their conversation.

Hippolytes snarled, "You have no idea that you have lost. You may have slain the giants but our mother will rise and slay you all. She ..." He was interrupted when gold, silver, and brown arrows sunk in deep all over his body. He let out a gasp of surprise before disappearing like he was never there.

It was silent for a second letting everything digest. 'The war was over' was playing in everybody's minds. All at once, everybody let out a cheer while some let out a big sigh. Everybody was jubilant that the war was finally over. However, Percy had a strange feeling when he sensed liquid moving around him.

He looked to the ground and saw the blood of all the demigods heading over to the center of the battlefield. He watched it start to pool and he yelled, "It isn't over yet!!!!" The cheers instantly stopped and looked at Percy. They followed his line of sight towards the pooling blood that was now seeping into the ground.

Percy got ahead of all the campers and the gods flashed in front too. When all the blood seeped into the ground, the earth started to rise and dread filled everyone. The mound of earth started to form a feminine shape until a beautiful woman was standing there, at least, as beautiful as someone could get when they're made out of dirt and stone.

She gave a wicked smile and said, "I see you have beaten my children. Oh well, they served their purpose but I guess I will have to kill you to have my revenge for them." She raised her arms and earth monsters formed and charged towards the campers.

Stone swords also formed in her hands as she charged. The gods and demigods instantly jumped up when they felt the earth try to trap them. However, only the gods, Jason, and Percy didn't land back on the ground. The gods levitated or something, Jason used the winds, and Percy used his ice ramp. The rest of the campers were stuck ankle deep in the earth with the earth monsters standing in between the campers and the gods.

They could all tell Gaea wasn't going to kill the campers until at least she killed the gods so the unstuck beings gave Gaea all their attention. She gave them a sickly, sweet smile and said, "You can't possibly hope to beat me. I am Gaea, Mother Earth, you can't kill earth." She still had that evil smile basically saying 'you're screwed.'

Percy just stepped up on his ice ramp and said, "Nothing is impossible and we will find a way. We may not have the ability to destroy the earth itself, however, your conscience is another story. We will force you into another slumber so it will be millenniums until you wake up again!" Percy brandished Riptide and charged yelling, "For Olympus!"

With that the gods and two demigods charged Gaea. Now, when you think of the earth, you think of stagnant rocks and dirt. However, Gaea was the complete opposite. She moved with speeds even faster than the gods. She would deflect blows knocking them back and slice the arrows in half before they reached their target.

One by one the gods were knocked back with many wounds littering their body thanks to their one enemy. In just 5 minutes, all who were left were the big three and their children. Each one panting and littered with many scratches that could have proven fatal if they didn't have fast reflexes.

Gaea, on the contrary, stood there smirking at them. If they looked closely, they could see the irregular breaths she was taking and how even though the wounds looked like they healed, they still affected her. She just smiled and said, "Give up yet?" She was actually surprised when Percy stepped up, and she would have gladly accepted his surrender for his loyalty. He would make an excellent warrior to lead her armies.

However, Percy had different plans. He spit at her feet leaving a shocked Gaea and a smirking Percy standing there. Percy spoke up, "We will never give up. If we do, all the campers who have died in this battle would have died in vain. I will not let their sacrifices be left unpaid. We will win and you will go back into slumber if I have anything to say about it." With the extra motivation and reminder that people have given their lives in this battle, the five charged towards Gaea who now didn't look as confident as before.

It was now a 50/50 battle on who would win. Gaea blocked all the blows but was unable to beat back the motivated warriors who gave her no relief. Gaea was being backed up by the constant barrage of weapons and snarled at the four people dealing these blows. She couldn't ... wait ... four!

All of the sudden, a glowing bronze sword struck her heart leaving her body open for four more weapons to enter her body. Silence descended upon the battlefield with everyone looking at the sword infused body in shock. Gaea also had a look of surprise across her face as she started making choking sounds.

She twisted her limbs and head around without moving her body until she was facing Percy. She glared at him and even though Percy could see the pain behind it, it still scared him. "You may have succeeded little hero but I'm not going down without my payback!"

Her hand shot out and grabbed Percy while also using some of what was left of her power to push the others away. She lifted him slightly off the ground and said, "Good luck!" With that, she stomped her foot as Percy struggled, trying to get out of her grasp.

A hole appeared under Percy as the other gods raced to get to him before whatever Gaea was planning. However, it was not meant to be. As Gaea used the rest of her strength, she sunk to ground to go into a deep slumber which dropped Percy directly into the hole.

As he fell, his eyes connected to Annabeth and mouthed three words. 'I love you' before he fell completely into the hole and blacked out.

When the gods finally reached where the hole was, it had already closed up and they couldn't sense any leftover energy to give them a clue as to where Percy was. They knew he wasn't just trapped under the earth judging by the unique texture the earth had and also by the slight light that was emanating from the hole when it was open.

The battlefield was silent again but no cheering rose after a few seconds. What did occur was someone falling to their knees and hugging herself. Annabeth let out choked sobs and some of the campers also cried. The rest had either a look of horror on their face or a blank look as they tried to stay strong.

Zeus stepped up and spoke to the crowd, "This battle was hard fought and we lost many good people today. However their lives were not given in vain. We have won today thanks to all of our efforts." He paused to look around the crowd with a solemn look.

"Percy gave it his all to best Gaea and was willing to sacrifice anything to achieve his goal. But do not give up on him! He is not dead! Gaea sent him somewhere that just needs to be located. I can promise you that we will not stop looking for him until we find him and bring him back to us. That is the least we could do for what he gave to us. So do not despair! While we lost many today we have gained the final victory and won the war! Gaea was put back into slumber and her children were destroyed. We should honor our friends' sacrifices! They wouldn't want their deaths to bring us down but rather us be thankful for them for giving this war their all." He looked around again and watched as hope and determination entered their eyes.

"It is time to rebuild, make amends, and create something new to show our strength so that nobody can ever threaten us again. While we mourn their deaths, we use them as an example of the sacrifices given to us so that we can be free and motivate us to work harder. Because they gave their life so we could live and continue what we started. All of the gods thank you for your sacrifices given today and we can guarantee change this time around. These past two wars have shown us the error of our ways and we will make amends. Let this time be marked down in history as the start of a new era. An era of prosperity between gods and demigods!"

Cheers rang out through the crowds of demigods, and the older campers were looking at the gods with new respect. Even the ones who were bloody and leaning on their weapons gave small smiles of respect at the gods.

As the cheers rang down, Zeus spoke again, "Now! Our first priority is to tend to the wounded. Anyone who is fine enough to walk and carry can help collect the deceased so we can give them a proper funeral. After that is taken care of we can start the rebuild of both the camps. However! The camps shall no longer remain separated. My fellow gods and I will create an archway to connect the camps so that they become one under a new name! From this day forth the camp shall be known as Camp Olympus to signify we are all in this together. Romans and Greeks will unite in this new era and create something even better! Now let's show our enemies that we are just as strong as ever! For Olympus!"

Cheers of "For Olympus!" rang out across the battlefield until it died down and they got to work treating the wounded and collecting the dead. At the moment they would worry about rebuilding and making them impervious from attacks as they recuperate. However, when they were done, they would put all their efforts into finding the one who gave the most to the war and bring him back home.

Though they didn't know where he was sent, they would never give up on him. Percy was strong and he would survive and even prosper wherever he went, so they set him aside for a moment to collect themselves and start anew.

Percy, however, just woke up in a forest without hearing a single sound except for the soft swaying of leaves in the wind. Even when he looked around in the dark forest, he still had no clue as to where he was. As he laid his head back down and stared into the thick foliage, his only thought was 'Where am I?'
