Percy POV
I hope this works. Eh, we'll see.
Bianca POV
What is Percy doing? He's been with Gaea for a very long time.
After Percy went to go talk to Gaea, we all kind of stood there, just glaring at the monsters. It was really boring, so I shadowtraveled to the beach to wait for him to come back. The sea was restless which meant that either Percy or Poseidon was not in a very good mood. I sat there transfixed for a while until I manifested a clock to check the time. It's been two hours! Where is he?
Then I heard a horn in the distance and shadowtraveled back to the hill. Percy was standing in front of everyone with a neutral expression on his face. Everyone was staring at him curiously.
"I've decided to join Gaea and fight with her! As much as I'd love to fight for the campers," he said sarcastically, "I'm still joining her. Would you join me , my Angel?" I could only stare at him in horror.
"How could you?" I screamed with hurt, "I loved you, and you're going to betray us? You're going to betray me, Thalia, Nico, and the rest of Chaos' forces? You're no better than Annabeth!"
He looked murderous at that but then took a few deep breaths and whispered in my mind, Trust me...
I stiffened at that and blinked the tears away. What is he doing? Actually it's more like, what is he planning? Contrary to popular belief, Percy is actually very good at coming up with war strategies.
"Well?"
I finally stepped forward, "I'll come with you. I know it's useless to fight against you, so I might as well as fight beside you." I walked up to him and kissed his cheek.
"Don't worry," he whispered, "I have everything planned out. We are going to win." What does he mean by "we", we as in the Titans or the Olympians?
"Good day! We will be back tomorrow!" he said cheerfully, took my hand, and we started walking away.
I turned around one last time before walking away and saw Tristan, furious, throw a spear at Percy's back. Normally I'd just disregard it, but I saw where it was going to hit. Oh no...
"Omega!" I shrieked, "Duck!" He hit the ground and I jumped in front of the spear. The impact threw me back a couple feet, but I regained my balance. When I was standing straight again, all I saw was red. How dare he try to kill someone behind their back! How cowardly! At least give the person you're trying to hit some fair warning.
Percy got back up quickly from the ground and the heat of his gaze was intense. "Who threw that?" he yelled.
Everyone except Tristan stepped away, how cliché.
Before Percy stalked towards Tristan, he turned to me. "Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"I'm fine. I'll have a tiny bruise but that's it," satisfied he turned back to Tristan.
He gulped nervously when he saw Percy furiously stride towards him. Then he vapor traveled and reappeared inches in front of him. Even though Percy was 2 inches taller than Tristan, it seemed like feet when he glared at him.
"You're begging me to kill you, is that it? Well since I'm so merciful, I'll do it," and with that he took out Riptide and, swiping cleanly through his neck, loped off the son of Poseidon's head. It almost seemed to happen in slow motion. Blood splattered on the grass and stained Riptide maroon. Percy had blood all over his shirt, but he didn't seem to mind. A lot of people screamed at the sight of the body and head on the ground and others just stared in shock. But Percy just calmly recapped his sword, stepped over Tristan, and kept walking. I was sad that I didn't get to help in Tristan's death. Oh well, there's always the afterlife for me to torture him in.

He led me through the maze of tents until we reached a tent that was black with stars. Inside was one large cot for us to use. Below us was the green grass and the only other furniture was a wardrobe and a small nightstand next to the cot.
I lie on top of the cot and asked Percy what his plan was.
His only response was, "You'll see," and then came and sat next to me.
"Did you really mean what you said," he said softly, "about me being no better than Annabeth?"
I stayed silent for a while, trying to carefully choose my words. "I was angry, believe me. I thought you were leaving me just because you were offered a better deal. I wanted to hate you, but I can't. Annabeth doesn't even compare to you. I promise," he visibly relaxes at my words.
He nods slightly and then lies down.
Hours later, well past midnight, I turn on my side to face Percy and find him missing. I waited for him to come back for a while. Maybe he just had to use the bathroom. But after nearly a half hour I decided that something was wrong.
Omega, where are you?
Run, go back to Camp Half Blood. I'll meet you there. He says seriously.
Why? What's going on? I ask as I get up out of the covers frantically.
Gaea is dead. I killed her. Just shadow travel back to the camp. My plan worked. I'll tell you what happened later. Just get to safety. The guards will figure out soon enough what I did and then we will be in trouble.
Ok, be careful. I'll see you soon. Love you.
Without a second thought I shadow traveled back to the Big House.
"Chiron, I have something to tell you!" I shouted.
The centaur came out of one of the back rooms and was rubbing sleep out of his eyes. My hyperactive mind noticed his tail curlers. They were purple.
"What child, could you possibly tell me at this ungodly hour?" when he finally opened his eyes and saw it was me, he shuffled his hoofs nervously and pulled out a bow and arrow that magically appeared on his back. It reminded me of the Hunter's bow and arrows.
"You're the enemy. What do you want?" he said with hostility.
"First of all, I was never 'the enemy'. Omega planned for everyone to think that we were. He tricked Gaea into thinking that we were on her side, then he snuck out earlier and killed her. That's all I know. Omega will tell you the rest when he gets back, which should be any minute."
"Oh," was all he said and then lowered his weapon.
Five minutes later Percy appeared next to me and kissed my cheek.
"Hello again, should we tell them what happened?"
