Chapter 9: Frank beats the lion.


Frank's POV: 

If I knew back then that Vincent was setting me up, I would've never agreed to do this. Come to think of it, I don't even know why I agreed to this. Was I trying to act strong, confident, trying to prove myself? Though the only thing I proved was that I was a coward, clearly because I acted like one when Percy stated the third rule.

If my Grandmother was here now and she saw what I did she would've yelled at me 'Zhang you can do better than that you no good teddy bear! Your ancestors never showed fear! They showed bravery! Now you go up there and kick that Vincent in the butt! Make me proud!' Just thinking of here yelling at me gave me a headache. 

I stayed at the back of the battle field, under the radar. Yep I would prefer that. A lot of campers came up to me, challenging me, but I disarmed them all and sent a few flying backwards when I turned into a Rhino. At this point I was getting tired of fending them off, more and more just kept coming. Seriously? How many villains are there? I wanted to end this and run to the woods, to try to find the flag. As much as I wanted to kill Vincent, I didn't want to come up face to face with him. 

So I had only one way: bring them down. The Zhangs way. I tried to spot Jason or Annabeth but I guess they were either in the woods battling a monster or trying to find the flag. Some of the campers in my team were still in the battlefield but I didn't care. As long as my friends aren't hurt, I'll destroy anyone in my way. 

I ran straight into the battle, turning into an elephant and smashing into all of them. I could imagine my grandma making fun of me: 'an elephant? Even I can do better than that Frank! Show them what you've got!'

Rage filled me and I turned into a dragon burning anyone in my path. I stopped and turned back into human form dropping to the ground.

The battle was silent around me, from demigods who were fading, to those who were running away, only one was on my mind. Vincent. That little nitwit wasn't hurt. He was standing at the other end, slowly clapping.

"Bravo Zhang bravo! Really an elephant? You can do much better than that, as I've heard." Was that my grandmother in disguise because seriously I wasn't doubting it. 

Vincent drew his sword out. He looked powerful with his lion cape on. Oh how badly I want to rip that thing into threads...hmmm. 

I stood up, I didn't need my bow and arrows now so I drew out my sword. 

"Your nothing against me Zhang!" he yelled.

"We'll see about that," I whispered.

With a battle cry Vincent charged towards me, I charged towards him too. 

Our swords met and the fight began, he stepped back and swung his sword towards my neck, but I stepped back causing him to stumble forward, but with his years of experience he jumped back and aimed his sword to my shoulder. I didn't react fast enough this time. 

I fell to the ground screaming, clutching the deep cut on my shoulder. "Whats the problem Franky? Am I too strong for you?" He laughed.  

He raised his sword above my neck, ready to end it. "This Zhang is how I make sure your dead, or at least to feel it." His raised his sword and bought it down.

It was like it was going in slow motion, giving me time to react and think.

FRANK ZHANG YOU LUNATIC! YOU NO GOOD GRANDSON GET UP AND GIVE THIS NITWIT A BEATING! My grandmother's voice played in my head. For once she finally said something that I find helpful.

Ignoring the pain I rolled away, just as the sword was about to slice through me. I jumped up and grabbed my sword.

Vincent's eyes flared, he pointed to one of his team mates who were bus watching our battle. 

"Go and finish that with girl named Hazel! I want her screams to make my ears bleed!"

The camper nodded and ran into he woods, to where Hazel would be playing defense.

This ends now.

I didn't realize what I did until I saw Vincent and the camper lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

I then realized it. I turned into Te-rex and shoved anyone in my path.. 

NOT BAD ZHANG! NOT BAD! 

I haven't realized how much I missed my grandmother.

Vincent stood up shaking. Defeat in his eyes. 

"He broke the rules! Frank Zhang broke the rules! He deserves to be whipped!" Vincent yelled.

Suddenly everyone appeared. Every single camper appeared from the woods. Jason appeared holding the South's flag a camper who was battling him appeared too. I ran towards Hazel, Piper, Leo and Nico who looked a bit puzzled for suddenly appearing. Annabeth was no where to be found. 

"What happened?" Hazel asked, running into my arms.

"I kicked Vincent's butt!"

Leo punched my shoulder. "Thats my Frank!"

"Ow! Dude bruised shoulder!" I yelled.

"Sorry. My bad."

"Why did everyone appear suddenly here?" Jason asked.

"I don't know. Something's wrong." Piper added.

"I'll tell you what's wrong! Frank broke the rules." Vincent yelled.

Hazel let go of me and walked up to him, she grabbed him by the collar and pinned him down. 

"Listen up you no good- never mind! You tricked Frank into this! Your the one who should be punished!"

"No one decides who gets punished or not except me!" Percy's voice echoed through the crowd. The crowd broke apart to find Percy.

Everyone fell to their knees, I had no choice but to follow.

He walked to the center where me and Vincent were. "I thought I made myself clear! No two individuals are supposed to hold a fight alone!" 

"My lord it was Frank he-" Vincent began but stopped when Percy glared at him.

"I don't care who started it and who didn't. Your both getting whipped. Guards take them away. Now!"

Four guards appeared and grabbed me and Vincent pushing us towards the castle.

"Percy no please!" Hazel fell to her knees in front of him. "It wasn't Frank! Vincent tricked him, please Percy don't do this!" Her eyes filled with tears, I felt guilty. 

"Move out of my way Hazel or I'll throw you in with them!" Percy bellowed.

The guards took us away from the battlefield and into he palace. Where we'll meet our doom.

Jason's POV:

Just when I found the flag, with the help of the wind, I appeared back into the battlefield along with everyone else. 

Everyone watched in silence as Frank and Vincent were taken to the dungeons. At this point I wanted to rip Percy and Vincent into pieces.

"Thanks to those two breaking the rules I had to make you all come back here and finish the game. It's over the game is canceled." Percy said. 

He stood with such confidence even I was scared of him. His once green eyes were solid black, even a hint of red was in them. The power he radiated was the worst part. 

Everyone began to complain. "Enough!" Percy yelled. "If you want to complain my only answer for you is to get whipped! So any complains?" He asked.

Everyone quieted down, bowed and made their way back to the camp.

Me, Piper, Hazel, Leo and Nico stayed in our places.

Once everyone was gone he turned towards us. A smile across his face.

"What now?" He asked.

"Where's Annabeth?" Nico asked.

Percy laughed. "Oh you know...being tortured. But I haven't seen her yet. But now I have to go, trust me. You'll hear her screams tonight."

And just like that he was gone.

And that is when I had enough. Im going to save all my friends and get out of here. Were going to leave this island. Wether we succeed on this quest or not.
