The huge monster that Piper realized was the Sphinx, kept slicing and clawing, but the look in her eyes was pure fear as she looked upon the group attacking her. At Piper's side was Aphrodite who had gotten off her cloud of pink and rose pedals to help, next to that was Annabeth who very intensely attacked with her long white bone-sword which she had picked up in Tartarus. Annabeth stabbed the Sphinx's hip and immediately following, someone who could only be Athena by the likeness between her and Annabeth, raked her own dagger across the monster's back. The Sphinx howled in pain and she angrily swung her tail, inches away from hitting Leo, who was attacking the other monsters with a large, ugly god whose leg was in a brace and his sword spewed fire, molten lava, and poisoned darts simultaneously.

Anger welled within Piper as she thinks of Jason's mangled body. With one last defiant cry, she jumped up and stabbed Ketoptris right into the Sphinx's eye.
She took out the blade and then stabbed through the top of its head.
The Sphinx crumbled and Piper looked around, ready to continue fighting, but saw only her friends huddling around Jason.
Piper wimpered when she again came face to face with her broken boyfriend, he was shivering and his forehead was startlingly hot.

A tear traced down her face as she heard, "Hey Pipes"
"Oh Jason, ..." Her voice broke as she felt a sob coming on. His body was too badly damaged, Piper was afraid he would never live past this. Suddenly a thought popped in Piper's mind and she yelled, "Apollo!" The god stepped forward, solemn. "Apollo, Lord of Healing, please fix him!' Piper almost yelled. He looked away quickly and gimmaced. He had expected the question.
The god shifted uncomfortably and knelt down, putting his finger tips on Jason's chest, justs around the slash marks, Apollo closed his eyes and a light appeared at his hand, which Jason's body seemed to absorb. Jason sighed but still looked in pain.
"The wound is poisoned, I--" his voice broke looking at Zeus cautiously. "There is only so much I can do, I'm not to interfear too greatly with quests, especially ones as important as these" he lets out, all in one breath.
Anger welled inside Piper as she glared at the god. The friggin god of Healing couldn't heal Jason!?
Piper looked up at her friends, staring at her in pity. Zeus looked scary angry but didn't say anything about Apollo's words.
"Hey, Pipes, look... Look at me." Jason's ragged broken voice made Piper cry faster and harder. "It's alright." He croaked, a smile in his eyes. "Pipes, look, I --" his voice cut off as he winced in pain, "I love you" he manages, making Piper burst into violent sobs.

"Pipes, it couldn't be stopped, we can't stop poison." Jason says seriously "It's not your fault."

But with that, a sudden thought slapped Piper in the face. " ...stop poison..." She mumbled, her eyes finding Percy. Everyone, including the gods, except for Annabeth looked confused.
