._-'-_.

Percy didn't like that.

He watched from the ground as Jason used the winds to lift himself and Piper, directing themselves towards the giant bronze dragon that was clutching the heart goddess in his claws, using his fire-breath to keep her solid.

He didn't like that, but they were right, the prophecy was clear

'Fire or Storm', and for as much as he wanted to help, he had to step aside and let Jason and Leo deal with dirt-face.

Besides, he couldn't just lazy around, they still had an entire army of monsters to defeat , and they seemed to be wriggling out of the ground where they all had been trapped by Gea, faster then the demigods were, using their advantage to attack those who were still stuck into the earth.

Percy held Riptide firmly in his hand as he worked to free his legs, he may not be able to help with stupid

dirt-face, but he would be damned if he let another demigod, be it greek or roman, fall under the hands of those monsters.

He fought and ducked and slashed, but the monsters just kept coming, he felt like for every enemy he killed three more took his place.

That almost sent him into a flashback, the fight with the Arai working its way into his mind, but that wasn't the moment, an oppressive knot was starting to form in his throat as he noticed too much time had passed since he had last seen the high, blond pony-tail typical of Annabeth, and that almost had him panicking.

'What if she has been hurt?'he though while slashing his sword

through the body of a grain spirit

' What if she-'Percy was jerked out of his toughts by a familiar voice calling his name.

He turned and saw Annabeth furiously pointing at something to his right, he quickly looked and what he saw was not pretty.

Over the hill an entire army of monsters was marching towards the battle, men with wolf heads were grinning evilly as they watched the demigods fight for their lives, ordes of cynocephali and griphons advanced steadly while karpois kept swirling out of the grass and strange ghosts with earth shells melted out of the ground.

He turned to look at Annabeth once again, they were soon going to be outnumbered, seriously outnumbered, and lots of demigods were going to die if they didn't do something now.

' Do it' Annabeth pleaded with her eyes

"No!" he knew what she was asking, do it, use your powers, but Percy couldn't, ever since Tartarus he hadn't used his powers, the truth was that he was afraid, he knew that down there something had happened to him, something had happened to his powers, and every night he had nightmares, starring Annabeth face, too scared to even look at him, while he drowned the goddess of misery in her own poison.

He was afraid that if he used his powers again, he wouldn't be able to control them, he didn't want to see that expression of pure terror on Annabeth's face ever again, especially if he was the one causing it. He didn't want to lose control of his powers, not knowing what consequences it could bring.

Annabeth had gotten closer to him, working her way between monsters.

He distantly heard Reyna and Frank screaming at the cohorts to regroup to face the enemies from the hill.

"Percy-"

"No! What if I can't control it?! What if I-"

"Percy! You can do it! I trust you can do it! I trust you!"

He was still unconvinced, but he knew, that if the troups reached the battlefield they wouldn't stand a chance. That made up his mind.

"Reyna! Order a retreat!"

He shouted as loud as he could, trying to get to her.

"What! Are you crazy?!They'll destroy us!"

"Trust me! I have a plan!"

she looked highly dubious but she ordered a retreat nonetheless.

She reached him as the greeks retreated as well

"This better work, Jackson"

Percy stepped out from the line that the demigods had now formed, all of them facing the monsters.

He noticed that Piper, Jason and Leo were still high in the sky, occupied with Gea.

He stopped , his back now facing the demigods, his eyes pointed on the monsters.

He tightened his hold on his sword, his eyebrows united in a frown as he tried to reach inside himself, ignoring the fear of losing control, the fear of not being able to stop himself.

Then he screamed, a scream so powerful that the monsters took a step back from him, as did the demigods. A familiar tug in his stomach appeared as he called on his powers, he screamed again to let go of all the pain, the fear and the pressure he was feeling, then summoning all the force he possessed he stuck his sword into the ground, and what followed was pure caos.

'Well' he though with smirk 'There is a reason if they call my father the earth-shaker'.

Reyna had seen her fair shade of Gods during her life, some had appeared innocuous, others had immediately showed off their powers, but Reyna had never seen something like this.

When Percy first screamed, she almost took a step back, the pain, the fear, the raw power so real in is voice, she stood there, staring at him, unable to look away.

As soon as he sunk his sword into the ground, cracks started radiating from where he stood towards the monsters, an entire line of cynocephaly was swallowed into the earth, some wolf-men started fighting their way up the hill, to avoid the same fate.

And that was just the start, water started coming from the lake, the trees, the cracks in the ground, and it started circling Percy, slowly at first, then faster, and faster.

Giant water hands, smashed grain spirits and ghouls, washing their rests away, keeping them from re-forming.

A cyclone formed around Percy, and he screamed again, but this time it was a battle cry and he launched onto battle, the demigods following him loyally, recognizing him as their leader.

Fighting with a huge cyclone on your team, realized Reyna, is a really great advantage.

It was only a matter of minutes before all of the remaining enemies were eliminated.

Suddenly the hurricane stopped,

a visibly fatigued Percy with tore clothes and minor cuts all over his body made his reappearance.

He found Reyna's gaze and smirked

"It worked" he mouthed, then he fainted.

As she stepped towards him, the blast of an explosion shook the earth, as the sky turned into a golden doom.
