Leo

I was bored. Like, really bored. I was sitting there, kneeling down and melting through Thanatos' chains slower than it takes to explain to Hazel why Snapchat is significant.

I mean, I had the most important job, right? True, Bad Boy Supreme is a vital member of the crew - unlike Frank (kidding!) - but I just felt like I was useless. Everyone was fighting giants and here I was melting a chunk of ice.

Random monsters kept coming at us, but Hazel and Piper were fending them off. At one point, one broke through and I had to launch a fireball at it.

"How's it goin' Leo!?" Piper shouted over her shoulder.
"Flametastic!" I called back.
"Ha ha," she replied, the sarcasm drooling from her voice.
"Are you nearly finished Leo?" Hazel yelled.
"No, he appears to be particularly slow," Death answered for me.
"Hey!"

A sudden flash of lightening caught my attention. Jason had thrown lightening at Porphyrion as a distraction, and Zeus had run up and stabbed him in the heart. The king of the giants was sent back to Tartarus instantly, his final expression one of pure rage.

Soon after that, all of the giants were defeated. I saw Annabeth stab downwards to Encaleadus' chest with her drakon bone sword (which is freaking awesome by the way - it especially gives Nico vibes). And then I turned to see Percy launch riptide at Polybotes' chest and the giant fade away. A short while after, I saw Athena slit Thoon's throat. I heard Annabeth scream. Why would she be upset with her mother killing the giant...?

It seemed to be over. But are we that lucky? Nah, Tyche must really hate our guts.

Their reinforcements arrived.

Now personally, I did not think that this was a good thing right now. Piper, Frank and Hazel were bruised and cut; Annabeth was holding her side in pain; Jason was swaying on his feet; Percy was limping and stumbling around dazedly; Zeus was bickering with Poseidon; Athena was ignoring her glaring daughter and finally, Apollo was live streaming on Instagram.

Yeah, we were totally ready to go take down an army.

A large figure flashed into the middle of us. He came with various monsters surrounding him.

"Hyperion," Zeus regarded the Titan. Ooh, yay, my favourite! Titan time!

"Zeus," The Titan said, eyes narrowing to the King of the Gods. He searched the crowd and his eyes landed on Percy.

"YOU," he bellowed, furiously.

Hmm, I'm guessing this is another being that Percy has aided in its journey back to Tartarus.

"Me!" Percy mimicked cheerfully, but he sounded nervous.

"I shall rip you apart limb from limb," the Titan threatened.

"Well, I've heard that one before, you lot really need to get original, man. Also, how are you here? I mean, Annabeth and I literally saw T-Tartarus suck up your essence for dinner?"

I was sort of surprised at that. I saw even the Gods' curiosity caught. Especially how he'd said it sort of candily. Percy and Annabeth rarely spoke of their time in the pit, and I had heard a rumour from Piper from Annabeth that Tartarus, the Primordial of pit himself, had faced them. Guess it was true.
