Vol. 4-20: HEHE FUNNY NUMBER

PERCY

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆

The drakon was three stories above us, slithering sideways along the building as it sized up our forces. Wherever it looked, centaurs froze in fear.

From the north, the enemy army crashed into the Party Ponies, and our lines broke. The drakon lashed out, swallowing three Californian centaurs in one gulp before I could even get close.

Mrs. O'Leary launched herself through the air- a deadly black shadow with teeth and claws. Normally, a pouncing hellhound is a terrifying sight, but next to the drakon, Mrs. O'Leary looked like a child's night-night doll.

Her claws raked harmlessly off the drakon's scales. She bit the monster's throat but couldn't make adent. Her weight, however, was enough to knock the drakon off the side of the building. It flailed awkwardly and crashed to the sidewalk, hellhound and serpent twisting and thrashing. The drakon tried to bite Mrs. O'Leary, but she was too close to the serpent's mouth. Poison spewed everywhere, melting centaurs into dust along with quite a few monsters, but Mrs. O'Leary weaved around the serpent's head, scratching and biting.

"YAAAH!" I plunged Riptide deep into the monster's left eye. The spotlight went dark. The drakon hissed and reared back to strike, but I rolled aside.

It bit a swimming-pool-size chunk out of the pavement. It turned toward me with its good eye, and I focused on its teeth so I wouldn't get paralyzed. Mrs. O'Leary did her best to cause a distraction. She leaped onto the serpent's head and scratched and growled like a really angry black wig.

Tempest put her fingers in her mouth and whistled. "Over here!"

The drakon turned its attention away from me and focused its eye on Tempest with hate, but roared in outrage when she stared straight at it and didn't get paralyzed. She charged and dodged as it sprayed acid at her, but it gave me enough time to attack. I stabbed it in the mouth, which made it pretty angry, and it retracted its head from us.

The rest of the battle wasn't going well. The centaurs had panicked under the onslaught of giants and demons. An occasional orange camp T-shirt appeared in the sea of fighting, but quickly disappeared. Arrows screamed. Fire exploded in waves across both armies, but the action was moving across the street to the entrance of the Empire State Building. We were losing ground.

Suddenly Annabeth materialized on the drakon's back. Her invisibility cap rolled off her head as she drove her bronze knife between a chink in the serpent's scales.

The drakon roared. It coiled around, knocking Annabeth off its back.

Tempest caught her just before she hit the ground and took off running, holding Annabeth bridal-style. I mean, if I hadn't been about to be eaten, I would've stopped and said Awwwwwww so cute! Minus Tempest's corpse-form, the battle raging all around us, and Annabeth screaming to go back to the fight, you might think they were just a cute pair of lesbians about to get married.

Tempest looked at me over her shoulder, her red eye gleaming. "JACKSON!"

I gasped in shock as a massive ghost suddenly tackled me to the floor as the monster's teeth snapped above my head. Mrs.O'Leary body-slammed the drakon's face to get its attention, and I rolled out of the way.
