"Who are you people?!" Bianca demanded as we looked at Dr. Thorn "And what is that?!" she said, pointing at Dr. Thorn.
Dr. Thorn roared and began to change. He grew larger until he was in his true form-his face still human, but his body that of a huge lion. His leathery, spiky tail whipped deadly thorns in all directions.
"A manticore?" Nico gasped. "He's got three thousand attack power and plus five saving throws!" I didn't know what he was talking about, but I didn't have time to worry about it, we were all in danger.
The manticore clawed Grover's magic weeds to shreds then turned toward us with a snarl.
"Get down!" Annabeth pushed Bianca and Nico into the snow. Just in time I remembered my own shield. I hit my wristwatch, and metal plating spiraled out into a thick bronze shield.
Just in time as the thorns impacted against it with such force they dented the metal. The beautiful shield, a gift from my brother, was badly damaged. I then heard a thwack and a yelp, and Grover landed next to me with a thud.
"Yield!" the monster roared.
"Never!" Thalia yelled from across the field. She charged the monster, and for a second, I thought she would run him through. But then there was a loud noise and light from behind us. The helicopter appeared out of the mist, hovering just beyond the cliffs.
It was a sleek black military-style gunship, with attachments on the sides that looked like laser-guided rockets. The helicopter had to be manned by mortals, but what was it doing here? How could mortals be working with a monster?
The searchlights blinded Thalia, and the manticore swatted her away with its tail. Her shield flew off into the snow. Her spear flew in the other direction.
