Percy Jackson and the Return of an Ancient Enemy

The Battle Against the Sky Pt.2

Percy's POV

We recited our plans as the automatons attacked. Soon, golden ichor enough to fill a pool came splattering on the grass and flowers, emerging new born satyrs and dryads.

Ouranos had enough and swatted away the automatonsa with his hand but they dodged and the metal leopard leaped, biting his thumbs.

More golden ichor dripped out as Ouranos bled and cursed. We commanded the automatons to attack Ouranos's behind leg. They obeyed and soon enough, Ouranos was down on the ground.

The earth started spinning as it wrapped around Ouranos's feet and locked them. A womanly voice echoed through.. pretty much everywhere. "My husband, you dare come here again? This time, my great grandchildren shall destroy you!" The voice came from Gaia, yup she was in our side though eternally sleeping.

Ouranos struggled to get free from the earth locking his feet but they were no use. The ground turned to metal and locked him as hard as chains.

We three nodded and we took out our gifts from Apollo. They transformed as soon as we tossed them. We shot blinding rays of pure sun power that destroyed Ouranos bit by bit, like the son overcoming the night sky.

He bellowed even louder. His energy was weakening and he transformed to normal human size, though still very powerful.

He took out a sword made from pure dying stars and challenged us. We charged. We took turns slashing him. Nico shadow traveled to his back and slashed it. Ouranos's reflexes worked and he put his sword where Nico would slash.

I threw my sun spear while Ouranos was deflecting Nico's sword. The spear would've pierced his heart if he didn't use his one hand to grab the spear, mid-air.

He spun Nico's sword around making it fly out of Nico's grasp. He took the spear with both hand and snapped it in half like a toothpick.

Jason flew up and swooped down like an eagle, slashing Ouranos's neck as he landed. Unfortunately, Ouranos saw that coming and he ducked as Jason slashed and grabbed Jason's right foot. He threw Jason backwards, making him spin out of control and crash landed, HARD.

Hus body lay there in the grass, probably unconscious. Ouranos looked at Nico behind him spun his sword at Nico's neck but Nico ducked. Ouranos changed directions of his sword trying to stab the son of Hades but Nico did a back somersault, kicking Ouranos's sword into the air.

Nico caught it mid air and tried to stab Ouranos, but he's just at good at reflexes. I took that chance to charge at him from the front and pierced the scythe deep into Ouranos's side.

Ouranos bellowed as ichor poured out uncontrollably. He looked at me with piercing eyes and and tried to stab me with a dagger. I dodged and stabbed the scythe deep into his arm, then took it out and cut his arm clean off.

His left arm didn't fall off but it disintegrated into stars that flew up into the night sky. He roared in pain and used his right arm to grab his sword from Nico's grasp and stabbed it deep in my gut.

Before it even reached my flesh, I used the curving side of the scythe to stab him in the back. Ouranos's sword dropped as I moved the scythe, still piercing his body towards his chest. He used his free arm to grab the scythe and pulled it.

I went to play tug of war with a primordial god of the sky. Eventually he won and took Kronos's scythe. I uncapped Riptide and deflected the scythe that was trying to slash my body. The scythe did scraped my arm of a bit but it didn't matter.

Ouranos tried again and this time, it hit me right in the chest, crumpling myself down, lying there on the ground as the lights started to fade and my blood pouring out of my chest.

All I could think of was the verse of the prophecy. The three shall battle against the sky, two shall live and one shall die.

I recited the verse over and over again until my soul left my body and sank deep into the Underworld.

Jason's POV

I saw with horror as Ouranos sank the scythe, deep into my best friend's chest. Rage roared through my veins, turning me powerful and full of energy.

I saw Nico, with his rage ready to burst, his sword in his hand. Frank turned into a dragon and flew up to Ouranos. Leo sent fireballs hurtling towards the god. Annabeth ran with a sword and Piper with a dagger. Hazel with a spatha and me with my imperial gold sword.

Just like old times... I thought, only without Percy.

"On the count of three," Annabeth said, eyes red from pouring out tears.

"One," Piper said.

"Two," Leo said.

"Three!" I yelled as we charge to fight our own great grandparent.

I stabbed and slashed and kicked but somehow, Ouranos managed to deflect or dodge all my attacks with his feet still chained to the ground.

Annabeth came next to me, we tried attacking at the same time but only a cut was managed. Piper came up and helped this time a stab was done.

Hazel snuck up behind Ouranos and tried slashing. He blocked Hazel's sword with his scythe and that gave an opportunity for us. We stabbed his in defended chest at the same time with three blades.

Ichor poured out like a golden waterfall as he groaned and roared. Frank flew above him and rained down fireballs, scorching his beautiful blue skin. Leo shot fireballs straight at his stabbed chest, burning it with white hot flames.

The way this is going, there is no way we can defeat Ouranos. We need help. We need Perseus Jackson.

A/N: sorry for making Percy dead... I'll update very soon.
