Stolen Loyalty

Chapter Four

Gold Percy's POV

I teleported straight to my room, or Destroyer's room, or whatever. UGH! This was so confusing. However, I knew where I had hid the key, even if I hadn't been in control. Fumbling with there latch of the chest that was hidden under the bed, I summoned a key to my hand an unlocked it, and reaching down to grab the prison key. Then I realized how stupid I was. I could've just summoned the key from the prison room! Grumbling to myself, I locked the trunk just as I head Destroyer teleport to me.

"Get over here me!" He hissed, circling me in a battle stance. A sword appeared in his hand. It was black and long, with wickedly sharp edges. Looking down in my hand, I saw an identical on to his, except pure gold.

"No." I said, teleporting over to the prison. I could hear his screams in my head, and I knew that he would come after me. But not before I saw something that scarred me for life.

Luke was thrashing on the ground, foam dripping from his mouth, eyes red. He was screaming in agony.

Meanwhile, in Erin's cell, a black blob of light kept trying to fly into her. She absorbed it everytime, momentarily looking like Luke before she somehow pushed it out of her being, and fought if off with fire for a few seconds. Magma surrounded her and her cell was a really, really, really, REALLY, hot oven. Man, she was on fire.

I quickly ran around and unlocked all of the other cells, freeing Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Bianca, Zoë, Thalia, and Will. I left Alex where he was, still pinned to the wall.

Then I ran over to Luke, knowing he was the first priority. Erin could hold off for a little longer. I unlocked his cell and knelt down next to him. I could hear Destroyer screaming in my head, still trying to find me. I gestured to theater freed people to remain back and started to shout. "LUKE! I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, YOU NEED TO PUSH, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET TARTARUS OUT OF YOU!"

Luke let out a small groan and his eyes flickered back to its normal blue. "C-can't." He whispered before tartarus took over again. I knew what I had to do. It wouldn't just take me, but also my other half. I knew what the stakes were.

"Luke, tell Erin I love her." I said. "And, sorry, this might hurt." I said, before I teleported inside of him, and right to where Tartarus and Luke were fighting a raging battle.

Piper's POV

As soon as I saw Percy melt into a ball of bright light ad go into Luke's chest, I screamed like any sane person would do.

"PERCY!" I screeched, running towards the cell, only to be held back by Jason.

"P-Pipes." He said gently, although I could hear the worry behind his voice. "Pipes, he knows what he's doing. It'll be fine." Under his breath, I heard him mutter, "It better be fine."

A loud scream of anguish came from Luke and a small ball of really dented black light shot out from him and to somewhere in the universe.

"Luke!" Thalia cried, running to her friend. Nobody stopped her.

"T-thals?" Luke siad weakly, coughing up blood.

"Luke! Are you alright? Where is Percy?" Thalia cried, shaking his shoulder gently.

Luke narrowed his eyes. "Not now. He told me what i need to do." Then Luke ran, well tripped over to Erin's cell.

"VOID!" He roared, banging the bars. Erin turned to face him an the black ball changed shape, turning back into Void.

"Ahh, yes. Luke correct? I see you have overthrown Tartarus and banished him to the void, or myself. Or my prison that soon took my name. But only one person has the power to do that. You see, you need to be blessed by both creators, myself and Chaos. I guess Percy didn't tell you that he basically just killed himself."

I screamed again.

Luke's POV

"What?" I screeched. "NO!"

I could see Erin's eyes blazing with fury. While Void was distracted, she clamped her hands together and slowly pulled apart, a massive fireball of swirling lava forming. Then she shot it at Void, using all of her strength, godly and Chaos power.

Void crumpled. "GET OUT OF HERE!" Erin screeched, implying more charmspeak than ever before. Piper joined in.

"Yes. All you want is to return back to the Void, term, Void. You don't need this power. You can wait until the argument between yourself and Chaos is over before returning from your prison. You don't need to take over here." Piper said gently.

"OUT!" Erin bellowed, screaming fire.

"NOOOOO!" Void roared as his hands started to fade to nothingness, and then the rest of him. "Stop!" He wailed, voice shrinking with his body. Soon he was gone.

And worst of all, Percy was gone too.
