① Percy Jackson: Age of Eternity

Chapter 12

The monster shook his fist, and a baseball cap fluttered to the ground. There was Annabeth, hanging upside down by her legs.

"Hah!" the Cyclops said. "Nasty invisible girl! Already got feisty one for wife. Means you gotta be grilled with mango chutney!"

Annabeth struggled, but she looked dazed. She had a nasty cut on her forehead. Her eyes were glassy.

"I'll rush him," Percy whispered to Clarisse. "Our ship is around the back of the island. You and Grover—"

"No way," they said at the same time. Clarisse had armed herself with a highly collectible rams-horn spear from the Cyclops's cave. Grover had found a sheep's thigh bone, which he didn't look too happy about, but he was gripping it like a club, ready to attack.

"We'll take him together," Clarisse growled.

"Yeah," Grover said. Then he blinked, like he couldn't believe he'd just agreed with Clarisse about something.

"All right," Percy said. "Attack plan Macedonia. "

I gave a look to Percy, "Yes cause lets not tell the only person here what that is."

Percy ended explaining it in vague detail. They would sneak around either side and attack the Cyclops from the flanks while Percy held his attention in the front.

"When he lets go of Annabeth I need you to help her safely, you and Grover. Ok?" Percy said looking at me. I nodded and we all ran to our positions.

Percy hefted his sword and shouted, "Hey, Ugly!"

The giant whirled toward him. "Another one? Who are you?"

"Put down my friend. I'm the one who insulted you. "

"You are Nobody?"

"That's right, you smelly bucket of nose drool!" I scrunched my face at the cringe of the insult. "I'm Nobody and I'm proud of it! Now, put her down and get over here. I want to stab your eye out again. "

"RAAAR!" he bellowed.

The good part is he dropped Annabeth. The bad part was that he dropped her head first onto the rock and she laid there motionless. Other bad news was that she was on the complete other side of me, which means I would have to run through the Cyclops. I took on the challenge and sprinted right through.

The cyclops moves and shuffled his feet, that made it a lot harder to dodge a incoming kick. Luckily I did it with only falling like twice. I got to Annabeth and got a good look at the gash on her forehead.

"For Pan!" Grover rushed in from the right. He threw his sheep bone, which bounced harmlessly off the monster's forehead. Clarisse ran in from the left and set her spear against the ground just in time for the Cyclops to step on it. He wailed in pain, and Clarisse dove out of the way to avoid getting trampled. But the Cyclops just plucked out the shaft like a large splinter and kept advancing on Percy.

"Get Annabeth and you and Y/N get her out!" Percy yelled at Grover.

He rushed over, grabbed her invisibility cap, and we picked her up while Clarisse and I tried to keep Polyphemus distracted. Grover and I ran across the bridge, we had go go slower to ensure we would not drop Annabeth into a deep ravine. 

Grover and I made it to the other end and set Annabeth down. I looked up and saw both Clarisse and Percy running from Polyphemus. They had to make it across before Polyphemus caught up.

"Y/N!" Percy yelled. "Get Annabeth's knife!" 

I grabbed her knife and then nodded understanding what to do. 

As Clarisse and Percy scrambled across the bridge, I began sawing at the ropes.

The first strand went snap!

Polyphemus bounded after them, making the bridge sway wildly.

The ropes were now half cut. Clarisse and Percy dove for solid ground, landing beside Grover. Percy made a wild slash with my sword and cut the remaining ropes.

 The bridge fell away into the chasm, and the Cyclops howled ... with delight, because he was standing right next to us.

"Failed!" he yelled gleefully. "Nobody failed!"

Clarisse and Grover tried to charge him, but the monster swatted them aside like flies. I felt helpless not being able to help. Percy suddenly charged at the Cyclops he swung his sword and stabbed Polyphemus in the stomach and made him double over. He slashed and somehow got Polyphemus on his back and Percy was on top of him with the point of his sword hovering over the cyclops eye.
