Book7 PDS: The Miraculous Ghost Story

...37...Battle Aftermath...37...

Balancer's POV
Nico, Percy, Jason and I attacked Tartarus with everything in our immortal being. We managed multiple successful hits, but we got more hit than him. That was the problem.

I watched as Nico was sent my way just before I could make my move. I have no idea where Apollo was. We could really use his help...was he maybe helping the injured? I hope so. If he isn't, then I will kill h myself if we survive.

"Should we try combining our powers. Maybe we can over power him with shadows or something?" I asked Nico as I helped him up. A fireball was shot towards us, causing the both of us to jump away from each other.

"It's worth a shot!" He shouted at me. He then turned and focused on the shadows closest to him. I did the same. If only Hades was here...

Nico and I ran towards Tartarus with the shadows following behind us. Black masses zipped past us both when he stopped, sending them all full speed towards to Tartarus.

The shadows managed to hold his arms down as he tried to escape. "Stab him or something!" I shouted at Jason and Percy. Both of them got on their feet immediately, running towards Tartarus. Their swords were thrusted into Tartarus sides, making him send out a piercing scream.

The sound didn't affect me, but it made Nico, Percy and Jason cover their ears.

The shadows was loosening around him. I needed to act quick. I made portals underneath my friends, making them land a good distance behind me. The shadows I controlled still held Tartarus but he could attack me ay any given moment if I let go.

So I let go and started to tun towards Tartarus as I took in a big breath. Tartarus was making his way towards me as well. However, before he could get his grubby little paws on me, I let the Ghostly Wail out.

It was much more powerful than the last time I used it. I haven't used it in a long time so I couldn't comprehend how it could've gotten this powerful.

It wasn't enough to send Tartarus flying. I'm dead...

I was about to stop when another Ghostly Wail was sent out next to me. I turned (slightly) to see Killer. Then it was Assassin and his Dan, King and his Dan and at some point all my doppelgangers were here.

Tartarus was sent flying. He crashed through some trees and boulders that I could see and then disappeared from sight. I dropped to my knees when I stopped.

The rest of them soon stopped too as they tried to keep standing. "Who was that!" Assassin asked as he coughed slightly. "That was Tartarus." I turned around to see Nico and Percy leaning against each other for support.

Jason was a short distance away leaning against a tree. I managed to get on to my feet, using my sword for some support.

"Hey, where's your Dan?" Killer asked me. I looked around only to see the remaining monsters retreating. I saw no version of Vlad nor did I see Dan. Did he escape?

"Up there!"

I looked up to see the white dragon...(I have no clue of where it came from) and I saw Vlad and Dan.

I didn't know which Vlad it was. "HEY! HE'S MINE! KILL YOUR OWN VLAD!" Like that Killer got his strength back and shot upwards.

"Vlad is going to get killed!" King shouted. "Stop!" I said. "What?" He said, glaring at me. "Listen, that's Killer's Vlad. If he wants to kill him, we can't stop him. Understand?" I said, making my voice push through very, very clearly.

"You'll let Vlad die! I know he's a Fruitloop, but we don't decide who dies!" King said. "Because "God" does?" Assassin said, air quoting God.

"As messed up as it. It's my Vlad's time to kick the bucket. He's only causing trouble for literally everyone." I said.
