Final Battle against Gaea

 (everything else happens the way it did in the books but the prophecy is a bit different)

The new prophecy:

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or sea, the world must fall,
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms at the Doors of Death


-PERCY POV

As the Argo ll is slapped to Long Island, I begin to wonder why my life so crazy. Like, most kids don't have to get a weapon of pure destructive energy at the age of 12, most kids don't get stabbed, poisoned, punched, kicked, cut, electrified, and almost killed, before 18, people rarely go through that in ever. People most certainly don't make their way from Greece to Long Island, by Magical Flying ship that has just been slapped by a divine being. Yet here I am.

I was torn from my thoughts by a loud snap, the sound of multiple supports giving in to the immense force of the air and of course a slap from a god. 

I look to Leo who is trying to keep the ship on course throughout this whole thing. 

Annabeth tries to say something in my ear but the wind whisks it away. 

Then I'm falling.

3rd Person

As the ship gets torn to pieces Jason and Frank immediately react, Jason, grabbing Piper, Frank (now a dragon) grabbing Hazel, Percy, and Annabeth. As he heads for Leo a chunk of flaming metal falls towards him forcing him off course. Jason rushes to grab him but also misses, the six of them look in horror as Leo plunges to the ground, now close to the ground they look for him, or at least what they imagine an elf shaped pancake would look like but find nothing.  As the group gives into their grief they see Leo riding atop Festus with flaming hammers drawn. Now eased with the fact that Leo was not dead, the six demigods also head to battle. 


Hopeful cheers are heard as the prophecied seven arrive at the battlefield, Greeks, and Romans alike feel relieved that the strong warriors have returned, ready to kick some monster butt. 

As soon they touch down, Arion appears by his rider's side, both heading into battle in a blur of gold, Frank shifts into a lion joining his girlfriend's side. Piper lulls monsters to drop their weapons, and Jason destroys monsters by the dozen in a flash of imperial gold, lightning, and air currents whipping around him. Leo starts fighting alongside Festus both ablaze with flame.

 Annabeth begins leading the ranks of her fellow ranks of demigods, raising her Drakon bone sword. But this has nothing in comparison to Percy, immediately leaping into battle, Water and wind form around him whipping monters into dust, any monster that can get close enough are immediately dispatched with a swipe of his bronze blade, anyone unoccupied looks upon him in awe as he dispatches monsters left and right, literally tearing the Minotaur apart with a flick of his wrist. screaming "Third times the charm!"


As the number of monsters dwindles the ground starts to ripple in waves. The ground begins to sink around the demigods and monsters alike, only not affecting the ground around the Parthenos. As the last monster falls an earthen woman rises from the earth. 

"AWWWAAAAKKKEEEE!!!!" A voice shouts, suddenly all the Olympians (plus Hades) flash in "Demigods! Gaea has risen, prepare for assault!" Zeus cries. A few demigods begin to raise their weapons, just to collapse unable to continue. Even the seven of the prophecy are exhausted. Only one demigod gets up and cleans his sword of dust. Percy Jackson joins the fight by Artemis, Athena, and Poseidon's side, and the duel between earth and divine begins.

PERCY POV

As we begin to charge Gaea, earthen hands begin to seize the gods one by one, first Dad, then Athena, then Zeus and Hera, Hermes is next along with Dyonisus, then Ares and Demeter, Apollo is about to take his shot he too is bound. Hades was grabbed mid-swipe, Aphrodite trips and falls right into an earthen hand, than Hephaestus is grabbed just before his Warhammer makes contact, finally she reaches for Artemis, but in a flash of silver, the hand is destroyed.

 Demigods look to Artemis and me with defeat and hopelessness, to them, it's already over. While thinking this I finally reach the Primordial, Artemis close behind. Raising Riptide I swing at her neck just to be met with a similar blade made of earth. As we duel, Artemis begins supporting me, shooting Gaea's joints and arms, slowing her movements.  We fall into a rhythm, twang, thunk, swish, clunk. Shoot, hit, swing, block. As this metallic tune rings out I begin to see the exhausted demigods begin to sit up unable to help, but more than capable to watch.

After what felt like ages, Gaea lands a kick on my stomach as I fly back I hear a sickening crunch as pain flares up in my chest. Picking myself up I hear a surprised cry as Artemis is also captured. Using this quick breather I look around at the camp. All the cabins are damaged, most reduced to rubble, the forest is aflame, Thalia's tree is leaning dangerously to one side, and there is general chaos. Then I see all the poor demigods, little kids forced to grow-up. Forced to fight and die, just because this little mudball cant behave. I feel rage build up in me, as I look upon my home, and my family being destroyed.

Suddenly I catch a blade on my sword...right still fighting the earth itself. As I fight I watch as the earthen bonds begin to tighten upon their godly prisoners. All I see is Red. 

ARTEMIS POV

 I watch as Perseus flies behind me due to a nice kick, courtesy of Gaea. Rushing in to retaliate bonds of earth wrap around me, unable to move I look to where Perseus had landed, to see him just standing there, looking at camp. Watching in horror as Gaea's blade goes to cut him top to bottom. Just to be blocked by his own sword. 

As their duel begins once more, the bonds around me begin to tighten around my throat. Now I may be immortal but cutting off my airway for long enough with still get me a trip to Tartarus. I look to the other gods and they to are being choked. suddenly I hear a rage-filled cry, and turn to Perseus with pure hatred in his eyes, running at Gaea.

His attacks seem to suddenly triple in power, water whips around him, air joining forming a hurricane, the ground begins to violently shake, and storm clouds form around him, adding rain and lightning to the destructive force. The water and wind rolling on him give him a look of power, and his expression shows that he means business. striking mother earth with Riptide, and his storm simultaneously, Gaea is thrown into the air. Before she can hit the ground and heal again, a pillar of water forms into a hand and binds her. Perseus then rises upon his own pillar to meet her. As he reaches her level he plunges his sword wrapped in his watery storm into her heart, but not before Gaea herself plunges her blade into his lung. 

PERCY POV

All I feel is rage as I continuously stab, slash, and swipe at Gaea. How dare she kill these demigods, how dare she harm my family, these innocents. Raising us on watery pillars I plunge my blade straight into her heart. "It Is Done," I say to myself. Gaea just smiles as she slowly turns into silver and brown dust saying "Oh you just wait Jackson, I'll be back, I will have vengeance!" with that she plunges her blade into my chest, feeling my lung collapse, and blood pours onto my shirt, I dissipate the pillars. As I fall everything goes dark.
