We get betrayed... Well shi-

Hey everyone! Thanks for sticking with the story and for all your amazing comments and votes! This chapter takes a dark turn with an unexpected betrayal. Let's see how our heroes handle this new twist. Get ready for some intense moments and, as always, a bit of humor to lighten the mood!

Percy POV:

As we made our way towards Dwarka, the road felt endless. My mind kept drifting back to the serene yet powerful presence of Lord Ganesha. His blessing gave us hope, but there was still a nagging feeling in my gut. Something was off, and I couldn't shake it.

"Everyone keep your eyes peeled," I said, trying to stay alert. "Kiwi and Melon won't be easy to find."

Chai POV:

I was still processing everything that had happened at the temple. Having Lord Ganesha's blessing was a huge boost, but it also meant the stakes were higher. We couldn't afford to mess up.

"Stay sharp," I reminded the group. "Kiwi and Melon are unpredictable. We need to be ready for anything."

Thalia POV:

Thalia, always the pragmatist, had her spear at the ready. "We should split up and cover more ground. If they try to ambush us, we'll be prepared."

Piper nodded, her charmspeak ready to be deployed. "Good idea. Let's stay in pairs and keep our communication open."

Leo POV:

As Jason and I moved together, I couldn't help but crack a joke. "So, if we run into Kiwi and Melon, do we try to talk them down or just hit them with everything we've got?"

Jason chuckled, though his eyes were serious. "A bit of both, I guess. Just be ready for anything."

Nico POV:

Will and I moved cautiously, keeping an eye out for any signs of our enemies. "You know," I said quietly, "I can't shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen."

Will squeezed my hand. "We'll face it together, whatever it is."

Percy POV:

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Kiwi, and she didn't look happy. "Well, well, well," she sneered. "Looks like you finally found us."

Before we could react, Melon appeared beside her, controlling a swirling mass of water. "Ready to play, demigods?"

Sun POV:

I stepped forward, diamond trident at the ready. "We're not here to play, Kiwi. We're here to stop you."

Kiwi laughed, a sound that sent chills down my spine. "Oh, Sun. Always so serious. But you see, we have a new ally. Someone who knows all your moves."

Before I could ask what she meant, I felt a sharp pain in my side. I looked down to see blood pouring from a wound that hadn't been there a second ago.

Jason POV:

I turned to see who had attacked Sun, and my heart sank. It was Piper. She had a cold, calculating look in her eyes that I'd never seen before.

"Piper?" I asked, disbelief evident in my voice. "What are you doing?"

Piper smirked, her eyes flashing with malice. "It's simple, really. I've decided to join the winning side."

Sun POV:

The pain was excruciating, but the betrayal hurt even more. "Why, Piper? We trusted you!"

Piper shrugged, her expression indifferent. "Trust is overrated. Power is what matters. And with Kiwi and Melon, I'll have more power than I ever did with you."

Thalia POV:

Thalia's eyes narrowed, her grip tightening on her spear. "You're making a big mistake, Piper. Betrayal never ends well."

Piper laughed, a harsh, bitter sound. "We'll see about that."

Leo POV:

Jason and I shared a look, a silent understanding passing between us. We had to act fast. "Alright, Sparky," I said, my voice low. "Let's show them what we're made of."

We charged forward, but Piper was ready. She blocked our attacks with ease, her new powers from Lord Ganesha making her a formidable opponent.

Will POV:

As the battle raged on, I tried to keep myself safe while Nico fended off attacks from Melon. "We need a new plan!" I shouted over the chaos.

Nico nodded, his eyes dark with determination. "We'll take down Piper. The others can handle Kiwi and Melon."

Percy POV:

We regrouped and launched a coordinated attack. But Piper was relentless, her powers fueled by her newfound alliance. Every blow we landed seemed to be countered with twice the force.

"Come on, guys!" I yelled, trying to keep everyone's spirits up. "We can do this!"

Moon POV:

I fought alongside my friends, determined not to let Piper's betrayal break us. "Remember Ganesha's words," I said through gritted teeth. "We have the power within us!"

Piper POV:

Watching the chaos unfold, I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction. "You really thought you could stop us?" I taunted. "You're all so naive."

Thalia POV:

Thalia's eyes blazed with fury. "Naive, maybe. But we don't give up. Ever."

With a fierce battle cry, she launched herself at Piper, her spear crackling with electricity.

Percy POV:

Seeing Thalia's bravery gave us all a renewed sense of hope. We fought harder, pushing back against the odds. And slowly, we began to turn the tide.

"Together!" I shouted. "For Ganesha! For each other!"

Strawberry POV:

With one final, coordinated effort, we managed to overpower Piper. She fell to the ground, defeated but not broken.

"You'll regret this," she spat, her eyes filled with venom.

"Maybe," I replied, my voice steady. "But at least we won't live with betrayal on our conscience."

Sparkle POV:

As we stood victorious, the weight of Piper's betrayal still hung heavy in the air. But we knew we couldn't dwell on it. There was still work to be done.

"Let's move," I said, taking the lead once more. "Kiwi and Melon are still out there."

Leo POV:

As we followed Percy, Jason squeezed my hand, a silent promise that we'd face whatever came next together.

"We've got this," he said softly. "No matter what.
