Pjo x Fam(Ily)

We get the death god? Hip hip hooray!

Hey, everyone! Thanks for sticking with the story! Things are getting crazier, but also a bit more interesting, with twists and unexpected alliances. Let's see how our heroes deal with the challenges ahead. Don't forget to comment and vote!

Percy POV:

The air crackled with energy as we squared off against Kiwi, Melon, and Thanatos. The tension was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. Sure, we'd faced gods and monsters before, but this felt different. It was like we were teetering on the edge of a cliff, one wrong move away from falling into the abyss.

Kiwi smirked, clearly enjoying the chaos she was causing. "Ready for round two?" she taunted, summoning more dark energy. Her confidence was unnerving, but we had no choice but to face her head-on.

Annabeth POV:

As we prepared for another clash, my mind raced through possible strategies. Kiwi and Melon were strong, but they had to have a weakness. Thanatos was an entirely different problem—fighting a god of death wasn't exactly in our usual playbook.

"We need to split them up," I shouted to the group. "Divide and conquer!"

Sun POV:

I nodded, understanding Annabeth's plan. We needed to keep Kiwi and Melon from combining their powers. "I'll take Kiwi," I called out, gripping my trident. "Sparkle, you're with me!"

Sparkle nodded, her veena-turned-sword at the ready. "Got it. Let's give them a taste of our own chaos."

Grover POV:

I watched as Sun and Sparkle charged at Kiwi, leaving me, Percy, and Annabeth to deal with Melon. "I guess that leaves us with Water Girl," I said, trying to lighten the mood despite the dire situation.

Percy gave a half-hearted chuckle. "Yeah, let's hope she's not as good as Poseidon with water manipulation."

Kiwi POV:

As Sun and Sparkle came at me, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. These demigods were strong, but they had no idea what they were up against. "You really think you can take me down?" I sneered, launching a wave of dark energy at them.

Sun dodged, her trident glowing with power. "You're not the first overconfident villain we've faced," she shot back. "And you won't be the last."

Melon POV:

With Percy and Annabeth closing in, I focused on controlling the water around us. "You know," I said, forming a vortex of water, "it's really not personal. We just want to shake things up a bit."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure. Trying to end the world is just your way of having fun."

Melon grinned. "Exactly. Why stick to the rules when breaking them is so much more exciting?"

Thanatos POV:

I watched the chaos unfold, feeling a strange mix of amusement and boredom. Mortals and their petty squabbles always provided entertainment, but today felt different. There was an unpredictability in the air, something even I couldn't quite foresee.

"Your plan is falling apart, Kiwi," I called out, a smirk playing on my lips. "You should have known better than to underestimate demigods."

Kiwi POV:

I clenched my jaw, frustration bubbling up inside me. Thanatos was right; we were losing control. But I couldn't let them see that. "Shut up, Thanatos," I snapped. "We can handle this."

Percy POV:

As Melon tried to drown us in water, I realized something strange: Thanatos wasn't fully committed to helping them. It was like he was just here for the show. "Wait," I said, a sudden idea striking me. "Thanatos, you're not really on their side, are you?"

Thanatos raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What gave you that idea, Jackson?"

I grinned, sensing an opportunity. "You said it yourself—you're bored. You're just here to see what happens. So why not help us out and make things even more interesting?"

Thanatos POV:

I laughed, genuinely amused. This kid had guts, trying to negotiate with the god of death. "You have a point," I admitted. "Watching Kiwi and Melon flounder has been amusing, but maybe it's time for a change in the narrative."

Kiwi turned to me, her eyes wide with shock. "You can't be serious," she hissed. "You're just going to abandon us?"

I shrugged. "You wanted to break the rules, didn't you? Consider this an unexpected plot twist."

Annabeth POV:

I couldn't believe it. Thanatos, of all beings, was considering helping us. "If you really want to spice things up, why not help us take these two down?" I suggested, trying to keep my voice steady.

Thanatos smiled, a cold, predatory grin. "Very well. Let's see how this plays out."

Sun POV:

With Thanatos apparently on our side—at least for now—the tide of battle began to shift. Sparkle and I pressed our attack on Kiwi, forcing her to defend herself.

"You traitor!" Kiwi screamed at Thanatos, her fury palpable. "You'll regret this!"

Thanatos merely laughed, clearly enjoying the chaos he was causing. "I doubt it. Let's see if you can survive without my help."

Percy POV:

I felt a surge of hope. With Thanatos not actively opposing us, we had a real shot at winning this. "Alright, team," I shouted. "Let's finish this!"

As we regrouped, ready to make our final stand, I couldn't shake the feeling that this battle was far from over. But for now, we had a chance, and we were going to take it.
