Chapter 29: We're Going To Need More Plans
Bryn
"Okay, how do we defeat the daughter of Tartarus?" Hallie queried.
"No idea. So we do what we do best," Luke said.
"And what's that?" Bradley asked.
The Jackson boy grinned. "Improvise."
When he started to run off, Bryn grabbed him by the arm. "Improvise we will, but we also need a plan of sorts. Demeter gave me a chant for Hallie and Derek to say that will open a way to Tartarus. We just need to get Hannah down it."
"What's the chant?" Hallie questioned. Bryn handed them a piece of paper, saying, "It appeared in my pocket. Silena, Bradley, Brady, Luke, and I will create a distraction. You two get into the main room of the building and hide while you say the enchantment. Got it?"
The two Hades' children nodded. Luke rocked back and forth on his feet. "So now we improvise?"
Bryn nodded. "Now we improvise."
The Jackson boy let out a holler and started running towards the Olympus building with his sword raised above his head.
"You're going to get yourself killed!" Silena shouted after her brother. The Winchesters quickly followed. "Luke Charles Jackson! Are you an idiot?!"
Bryn snorted. "He's not an idiot, he just does idiotic things."
The two girls grinned at each other as they burst into the gods' home. Hannah stood in the middle, throwing things around. She turned around nonchalantly when the demigods entered.
"Ah! My favorite people! Where are the other two? I wanted a full house," Hannah said.
"Since they're not here, they're none of your concern. You want a fight, you got one," Luke growled.
"Luke Jackson, how you've changed. I remember the boy screaming in agony when I would hit him," Hannah mused. The air turned static as Bryn's anger ran through her veins. No one touched her friends.
"Miss Winchester, you really risked your life for, fell in love with, this wimp of a boy?"
"This 'wimp' blew up half your army. This 'wimp' endured your torture. This 'wimp' has saved my life. So if those traits are your definition of a wimp, then I will gladly risk my life and love this boy. And for the record, his name is Luke Charles Jackson. You best remember that," Bryn snarled.
"Why should I remember your puny names? No matter what happens Miss Winchester, you lose," Hannah laughed.
"Because we're going to be the ones that bring you down," Silena replied. They had to keep stalling Hannah for as long as possible so she didn't turn around. Hallie and Derek were hiding behind the fountain that Hannah stood in front of. They were barely whispering the chant for the one-way trip to Tartarus. Bryn couldn't hear them; she could only see their lips moving.
"You're going to bring me down? Girl, you don't even know what I am!"
"My name is Silena Elizabeth Jackson. You're the daughter of Demeter and the daughter of Tartarus. While I'm not going into how wrong that incestuous relationship is, I'll tell you this: you're going to be seeing your daddy real soon because we-" Silena motioned at the five of them, "- are going to send you to the hell pit you belong in."
"Oh really? Tell me how you're going to do that without the two people who can actually open a door up to Tartarus? You can't kill me. I'm immortal," Hannah pointed out. "But then again, the two that can send me there are here. Did you really think that I was oblivious to them sneaking in from the back?"
With a flick of her hand, vines threw Derek and Hallie into Bryn and Luke. Groaning, they all got up. Derek said, "Okay guys, plan B."
"I think we're going to need a plan C, D, E, F all the way to Z," Brady joked.
"He's new to our methods isn't he?" Silena queried.
"I did always teach them to have a plan," Bryn remarked,
"So what's our plan this time?" Bradley asked anxiously.
"What Luke said earlier: improvise. Charge!" Bryn yelled. She and Luke went at Hannah with their swords. She saw Derek drag Hallie away from the fight, figuring they were going to try and finish the chant. Silena and the twins were quick to follow their siblings. Bryn shot up into the air and flipped over Hannah. The twins flanked her. Silena and Luke stood in front of her.
"You really think you can beat me. How cute," Hannah said. She pulled out a sword that elongated fifteen feet in length. Hannah began growing larger and larger until she towered over the demigods. She had to be well over twenty feet. Luke made the first attack, slashing at her ankles. She jumped and he rolled away before he was stomped into the ground. He ended up next to Bryn. Bradley and Brady jumped up, slicing their swords at her arms. Hannah punched them in them in the gut. It was only thanks to their flying abilities that they prevented themselves from crashing into the marble pillars.
"Luke! Silena! Water wall!" Bryn shouted.
"Isn't the song called Wonderwall?" Luke commented.
Resisting the urge to slap him upside the head, she repeated as she pointed to the fountain, "WATER WALL!"
That seemed to register with him. Grinning, Luke thrust out his hands. Silena followed in suit. In a few seconds, a water wall surrounded the Jacksons, the Winchesters, and Hannah. Derek and Hallie were outside of it, working their magic to get the hole to Tartarus open.
"Impressive," Hannah praised. "You've all gotten very strong."
"Bradley, Brady, fo̱tiá!" Bryn ordered. Lightning cracked through the glass dome straight into Hannah. It blinded everyone for a few seconds. Once they were able to see again, Bryn saw Hannah on the floor in a daze. She nocked an explosive arrow in her bow and fired it. The detonation threw Hannah a few feet towards the water wall.
"BRYN! WE GOT IT!" Derek hollered. Luke and Silena instantly ceased the water wall they'd created. Hannah was only a couple feet from going over the edge but she beginning to gather her wits again. Derek and Hallie maneuvered their way over to their friends.
"We have three minutes before it closes!" Hallie informed. "Get her in there!"
"Gladly!" Bradley replied cheerfully. He fired an explosive arrow along with Brady but they were knocked away by a vine. Hannah stood up, glowering at the demigods. Her eyes were murderous.
"You dare think you can beat me?!" she barked. "I am the daughter of Tartarus! YOU. CAN'T. KILL. ME!"
Time slowed down as Bryn commanded everyone to use their power of choice against Hannah as a visible barrier force came at them. Silena and Luke sent a jet of water each. Hallie and Derek sent a never-ending stream of hellfire. Brady, Bradley, and Bryn shot lightning out of their fingertips. Their attack hit Hannah right when hers hit them. Everyone went flying back. Bryn's whole body connected with a marble column and she passed out before she hit the ground.

When she woke up, Luke was hovering over her. She cringed as she sat up. "How long have I been out?"
"Just a few seconds," he answered, brushing a piece of hair out of her face. The two of them stood up. Derek and Silena were a few feet away from them. Brady, Bradley, and Hallie were sitting against a wall as far away as possible from the Tartarus hole that was still open. All of them were holding a part of their body: Hallie cradled her arm, Bradley held his leg, and Brady had his arms wrapped around his rib cage. Bryn didn't need to ask to know that they'd all broken whatever they were holding.
"When is it going to close?" she asked.
"In about a minute. We did it Bryn, we actually did it!" Luke exclaimed. But something was wrong. Something else was about to happen but what it was, Bryn couldn't place. Luke nudged her gently. "What's wrong?"
"I feel like we didn't win, that this isn't the end of it," she confessed, running a hand through her hair.
"Look, we sent Hannah down to Tartarus, her army is going to fall apart without her as their leader meaning we can go home soon and then maybe we can say screw what Zeus and Poseidon want and actually date? Does that sound like a pl-" Luke interrupted his sentence with a frantic yelp. A vine wrapped had wrapped itself around his ankle, dragging him to the Tartarus hole. Bryn scrambled after him, desperately reaching for his hand. She barely managed to grasp it before Luke slipped over into the hole. Bryn frantically held onto the edge. Silena grabbed onto her friend's wrist.
"Hold on!" the girl said in a panic. But when she started being pulled over the edge as well, Silena twisted her body so that she would be able to hold on. Derek slid over, nocking an arrow and firing it at the vine wrapped around Luke's ankle. The vine snapped. A scream echoed but got fainter and fainter. Derek grasped his girlfriend's hand. However, the weight from three demigods falling into Tartarus was too much for the son of Hades. He too had fell into the hole. Now the four of them dangled helplessly over the entrance to Tartarus.
"Bryn!" the twins cried frantically. She heard them slowly dragging themselves over but Bryn knew they wouldn't make it in time.
"Silena let me go. Save yourself and Derek. Luke and I will find a way out of here. Your parents did it once before. We can too," Bryn said.
"No!" Silena and Derek screamed vehemently.
"We're not separating!" Derek declared.
"You go, we go," Silena added, her voice trembling but resolute. The daughter of Zeus knew her friends would be unwavering in this decision. Taking a deep breath, she called out to her brothers. "Bradley! Brady! Take care of Hallie and make your way back to headquarters. Learn from the Jacksons on where to meet us for when we return! We will see you on the other side! And kick Hannah's forces' ass! Do you understand me?!"
"Please just hold on a little longer! We're almost there!" one of them cried out.
"Do you understand me?!" She repeated.
There were a few seconds of silence before: "Yes!"
"Good. We'll see you soon!" Turning her attention to her friends, she said, "Whatever you do, don't let go of each other. I have no idea where we'll land."
Derek glanced down at her and with the slight nod of her head, the son of Hades let go.
