Welcome back! Let's commence this next chapter!



The Laistrygonians continued to glare at Percy as Sloan rolled the red balls into position.

"Scared" Tyson mumbled, "Smell Funny"

"What smells funny?" Percy asked

"Them" I pointed at the Laistrygonians "Smells "

And with a blow of the whistle, the game started.

Immediately our team scrambled for some kind of cover as Sloan's team plus the Laistrygonians all rushed for the balls.

Percy got slammed in the gut by a regular red ball and doubled over, it was thrown by Joe Bob so I wouldn't be surprised if he broke something.

"Hey!" Percy yelled to the Laistrygonian Giants "You could kill somebody!"

"I hope so Perseus Jackson! I hope so!" Joe Bob grinned

Thankfully now Percy realized that they were monsters.

My instincts told me to move as I managed to dodge to the right, a ball zoomed past me as the Laistrygonian known as Marrow Sucker grins at me.

"Go 'head! Dance doggy! After you're dead, we can eat the mortals!" He sneered, forming a ball out of thin air, though this one was on fire and made of metal.

"I'm gonna make you eat your own words Laistrygonian!" I growled

He chucked the fireball in my direction and I ducked under it.

The other students panicked and ran to the exits, which slammed shut, locking them in the gym of death.

"Let them go!" Percy yelled at the giants.

"And lose our tasty morsels? No Son of  the Sea God. We Laistrygonians aren't just playing for your death. We want lunch!" Joe Bob growled

More bronze fireballs spawned on the center line, the giants grabbed them with no hesitation.

I knew that Tyson was fireproof but I on the other hand, am very flammable, so I gotta dodge until I see a opening.

"Percy needs help!" Tyson calls, I turn to see Tyson shove Percy out of the path of two fireballs

"Tyson!" Percy calls out

Tyson manages to grab each with his bare hands and chuck them back at the giants, dusting those assholes back to Tartarus.

I turned my attention back to Marrow Sucker who sends another fireball my way, I slide forward on my knees and lean backwards, dodging the ball and closing the distance.

I leap towards the surprised giant's throat with extended claws and swipe.

Three things hit the floor. Myself, his head and his body, which starts to dust in a timely manner.

My instincts tell me to turn my body, only to receive a fireball to the gut, sending me into the bleachers.

"Y/n!" I barely hear Percy cry

My vision blurs and sounds become too loud, like someone let a jackhammer loose in my head.


I don't know how long it takes me to regain my senses, but by the time I do, the battle is quieter, I sit up and a wave of nausea hits me hard.

"Ah! Fraggin'!-" I growl, I look up to take in my surroundings

Percy is facing down the final Laistrygonian who seems to be relishing in the carnage that's unfolding. I turn to see Tyson half buried in the wall, covered in bricks.

I start my crawl, which turns into a jog, which turns into a sprint as I reach my friend.

"Hey bud! You OK?" I worryingly inquire, Tyson shakes the brick dust out of his face, and places a hand on his head.

"Hurts" He finally says

"Yeah... Yeah I know, I'm hurt as well, but we're strong" I pat him on the back, Tyson sniffs and nods, I smile at him.

I turn back to see the girl from Percy's photo sucker punch Matt Sloan in the face.

'Lucky, I wanted to do that' I lamented in my head, I noticed also that Joe Bob was nowhere to be seen, meaning that Blondini most likely stabbed him with that Celestial Bronze knife she just sheathed.

I didn't catch much of their conversation, mainly due to my ears still ringing from the fireball explosions, but they looked over in our direction with the Blondini pointing at us with a face of disgust.

'What's up with her' I thought

Eventually, the principal and members of the staff broke through the door.

Immediately Sloan started blabbing on about Percy setting the Gym on fire,

Wasting no time Percy grabbed his pen from his smouldering jeans (which is actually a weapon of some kind, I know this because I can smell the Celestial Bronze coming off of it) and jumped through the hole made by Tyson.

"Come on!" He called as he ran, I pulled Tyson up off the ground and ran after him.

'We get slammed by fireballs and he still doesn't know we're monsters? Is he really this dense?'
