Percy pov still

I call a meeting and get every demigod's attention. "alright" I shout "we need a plan. Anyone have any ideas?" I ask

They all shake their heads causing me to sigh "Pan if you can would you be willing to fight" I ask looking his way he nods his head "also try to host a satyr meeting to rally them please" he nods again before leaving "alright I want Apollo cabin and hunters in the trees shooting the monsters down and if any of you are really good with close combat weapons we need all the help we can get" I say they nod before leaving to find positions.

"Alright Ares cabin I want you guys on the front lines" I say, and they start smirking Hephaestus cabin I want you manning the catapults and whatever else you got." I shout their way they nod before starting to prepare their weapons "Demeter cabin try and use the plants to our advantage. Hermes cabin protect and fight where you can and go where you are needed, and Aphrodite cabin I know you don't like to fight but we need all the help we can get." They all nod and start preparing for the battle with the Aphrodite cabin preparing makeup blasters.(don't ask)

"I have one last plan Chiron cover me" I say. he nods while smiling. I run to the opposite side of the camp as a wolf and turn into my dragon form. "let's see if I still got it" I utter before using my a order roar (a regular dragon roar combined with a Godzilla roar) calling any nearby dragons to aid.

While preparing I hear a very loud strange roar. Everyone looks around with a look of fear and confusion, none of us have any idea what it is.

After the roar though something rumbles from behind us, and we turn to see claws spikes and wings getting out of the ground. A big brown and green dragon gets out of the ground and shakes the dirt off of himself. So that's it, it must have been Percy calling for aid.

Everyone goes to grab their weapons, but the dragon speaks first in a loud rumbly old voice

Everyone goes to grab their weapons, but the dragon speaks first in a loud rumbly old voice. "Put your weapons down I am here to aid that roar you just heard was the dragon king calling for help to stop Kronos's army from taking the camp plus this camp is my home to." Everyone puts their weapons back out of fear before an Ares camper shouts,

"who are you and how can we trust you"

"I am Acidrick one of the oldest dragons alive but not old enough to have known the king" after that Percy comes out of the forest and nods at the dragon slightly.(if you got a better name tell me in comments)

We all get into position waiting for battle while the dragon walks behind the tree line ready to give the monsters the scare of their life. After a couple minutes of waiting monsters start pouring out of the labyrinth. Our traps trigger killing a lot of them.

Eventually the traps run out and the next stage starts. The monsters charge at us most get killed by arrows and the rest we kill ourselves. The bad thing though is that the hunters and the apollo cabin are running low on arrows.

I look to my left to see Percy fighting like a demon and with a scary realization I see some of Percy's horns starting to poke out of his hair. Suddenly there is a big roar, and all the monsters stop moving, looking to the sky in fear.

Just then the green and brown dragon flies down landing on a couple of monsters. He growls at the monsters but instead of doing what I expected and breathing fire at them he starts spewing acid at them. All the monsters start screaming and scatter except one very brave cyclops.

The cyclops walks up to Acidrick and clears his throat causing the dragon to snap its head towards it. "umm sir why are you helping the demigods they've killed a lot of your kind why don't you join us to destroy them lord Kronos would reward you greatly." he says almost whimpering.

The dragon just chuckles "you think I would help you and Kronos oh you are sorely mistaken." he says in between laughs "I am helping the demigods for multiple reasons the main ones being this is my home as well and my king asked me to. And not only that my king is sided with Olympus and you monsters have killed more of my kind than the demigods." he says at the end growling.

"What do you mean king he fade-" the cyclopes didn't get to finish before the dragon shoved his claw through his skull. "Anyone else wants to question what I say" he shouts before turning to us "aren't you guys going to help" he says. This breaks us out of our spell, and we charge at the monsters while the dragon slashes through them like a hot knife through butter.

Suddenly the monsters stop pouring out of the labyrinth everyone looks surprised until Daedalus and Mrs. O. Leary come out of the labyrinth. Daedalus chuckles I got some but only enough to disorient them now let's end this. The dragon pushes everyone aside and says "allow me" before shooting a bunch of acid into the hole.

Daedalus looks at him and mutter "woah I thought most of the dragons died" the dragon hears this and chuckles

"no most of us went into hiding after our king died."

After that since the battle was over Nico disappeared for a while then came back and told Daedalus "Thanatos and my dad agree Daedalus you are free to live the same amount of time you would as a demigod either until you die or until you live 100 more years whichever comes first got it" Daedalus nods.

"Alright I will be back by the final battle I need to take back control of the labyrinth and stop them from using it" Daedalus says before disappearing back through the labyrinth.

After the battle was over, I went to see Artemis I asked the hunters where she was and they said, "she's in her room and won't come out and we don't know why." I nod before heading to her room. When I open the door, I see Artemis face down on her bed.

When she hears the door open, she says muffled by the pillows "hunters I told you to leave me alone"

"actually I'm not your hunters" I say when she hears my voice she jumps off from her bed and I expect her to hug me, but she throws a knife right next to my ear.

"Why are you here after what you did" she sneers at me

"what do you mean after what I did." I say confused

"oh don't act all innocent you broke up with me and you have the gal to come back here" she says barely controlling her anger.

"What do you mean I would never brake up with you." I say, upset that she would even think that.

"Yes, you did you came into the cabin yesterday and said that you found someone better than me and said we are through." she practically screams at me with tears starting to pool in her eyes. Right now, I feel a bit happy that the room is soundproof because otherwise the hunters would have come in.

"Wait yesterday I was in the labyrinth yesterday and no one is better than you" I say in realization.

Artemis starts slowly crying and says softly "I don't believe you"

"fine" I say "I swear and Styx that I was still in the labyrinth yesterday"

She then starts crying before hugging me and muttering "I'm sorry" over and over.

"it's okay I forgive you." I whisper in her ear.

She pulls away and says, "I swear you came in and broke up with me and if it wasn't you then who was it."

"I don't know but I have an idea in case it was someone in the hunt" I say,

"well what is it?" Artemis asks.
