WHO WOULD THINK THAT ACE WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR THIS EXCURSION?
Not that he didn't like winning as much as the next person. It just wouldn't make his list of priorities in life if he had to sit down and really think. He especially had no interest in winning if it meant killing three of his friends.

He really wished he was a better advocate for himself.

Nike was glaring, making her far terrifying then she already was. Ace knew immediately that they had to do something or else all four of them would be taken down in a matter of seconds. He saw how fast those Nikai's grabbed Arya by her throat.
The image of her choking played in his head as he grabbed his bow and aimed an arrow, letting it go up and over the walls, embedding itself a good five feet from the girls.
"Not good enough!" Nike roared, "A son of Apollo has better aim than that!"
Percy grabbed his first archimedes spear and tossed it up and down in his hands a few times. "Let's hope these didn't get confused."
