A/N: Disclaimer i dont own PJO or HOO Rick Riordan does

Last time: Suddenly, there was a blood-curdling scream coming from my right that was so ear-bursting that it caused all the fighting to stop. Literally. Even the giants stopped fighting. I looked over at the sight that met my eyes caused my heart to sink...

Percy POV:

Grief. That was the only feeling I was experiencing at the moment. Hippolytus had struck a lucky blow and had stabbed Annabeth with his sword as it penetrated her armour and lodged in her stomach. Just by looking I knew it was a fatal blow. "Nico" I shouted. Nico appeared out of the shadows in front of me. "Help Zeus". I didn't wait for him to reply, I ran as fast as I could to Annabeth. I could feel the tears roll down my cheeks. I got to where Annabeth had fallen. Hermes was still fighting Hippolytus but I knew he wouldn't last forever but Annabeth was my top priority.

"Hey..." I croaked. She looked up at me, her grey eyes once stormy but now dull. She saw my tears and raised her hand and shakily wiped them away. I put her head on my lap. Green eyes met grey. "Annabeth i..." she cut me off my saying "Percy...listen to me. I-it's ok. I need you to...t-to do a few things for me. Pl-please?" she took sharp breaths throughout and I knew it was hurting her to talk. I nodded. "First...I need you to survive this...ok. And secondly, I want you to move on...we know I'm going to die but I don't want y-you to be depressed. Live for me. Promise me." I brought my head down and cried on her chest. The war had resumed all around us but all that mattered was me and her. I felt like my heart had stopped functioning due to it being ripped out of my chest. She put her hand under my chin and lifted my head up so that we were eye to eye. She said "I love you Percy...always and forever. My Seaweed Brain." She leant in and kissed me lightly. "Promise me..." I felt her body shiver and then go slack as she died in my arms. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I laid her gently on the side of the field. "I promise Annabeth. I promise."

Grief coursed through me and I let out a cry of anguish. It was quickly replaced by rage and a lust for revenge at the enemy that dared separate me from Annabeth...forever. I charged at Hippolytus as the tug in my gut increased. A tremor passed through the ground as I unleashed an earthquake causing the giant to stumble slightly. He tried to regain balance but I was too fast. I was upon him in a flash as I slashed and jabbed at the giant. I swiped my sword at his legs and swept his legs from underneath him and smashed his nose. I raised riptide and brought it down severing the arm that held the sword that caused Annabeth's death. Hermes came up next to me and slammed his caduceus into the giants face causing him to turn to dust. Hermes was turning towards me but I wasn't waiting around. I wasn't satisfied. I was still angry. I turned around and headed towards Porphyrion.

I summoned the hurricane and I immediately felt the winds pick up. I wasn't feeling very forgiving and the wind and water were merging together into the mightiest storm I had ever conjured. I had almost no control over it but at this time I didn't care. I only cared about revenge. I leapt at the King of Giants and slammed into him. The storm had grown and was so large that the height was over that of the Giants. "Bah...stop that wind. I can't see." Good, I thought. He slashed with his spear and managed to cut my shoulder slightly causing a line of blood to ooze out. I was confused. Didn't I have the curse of Achilles? Then I realised that I had lost my mortal anchor. She didn't exist anymore (A/N don't know if this can happen but hey fanfic...so) and therefore I had lost the curse. I got angrier-if that was possible. I literally became a whirlwind of destruction. Monsters tried to help their king but they never got close. The storm was too powerful for them and blew them away. Porphyrion didn't stand a chance as I stabbed him in the gut as Zeus sent his master bolt crashing into the giant's chest causing him to crumble. The giants were defeated. Finally. My storm stopped abruptly.

I looked around. All the gods were now fighting Gaia. Most the monsters were dead or fleeing. The rest of the seven apart from Annabeth were behind me. Jason was up again. They all looked tired and upset-they must have seen what happened to Annabeth. "C'mon lets go finish this." We ran towards the Gods who were struggling against Gaia-who at that point realised that the giants were dead. She let out a cry of rage and blasted out beams of power causing the gods to fly backwards. We reached the battleground and stood face to face with Gaia. We all looked at each other, then Gaia then back at each other. We knew what we had to do. Gaia laughed. "Foolish demigods. I defeated all the Olympians and Hades what chance do you weaklings have? I am the Earth!" The Gods were slowly getting to their feet. "You may be the Earth, Dirt Face but I'm the son of the Earthshaker. Know what that means? NOW GUYS" We all attacked at once. Frank shot arrow after arrow. Piper charm speaking Gaia to get her to go back to sleep. Leo sending fireballs left, right and centre. Hazel was using her power to lift up dead warriors weapons and send them flying at Gaia. Jason was sending lightning strikes repeatedly. And me? I summoned the biggest earthquake I had ever produced out of sheer rage and grief. I followed it up with a hurricane and sent it flying towards Gaia. It was increasing in size as it travelled forward. The pain in my gut was almost unbearable and my muscles were sore but I pushed on. The Gods were back and sent beams of power except Aphrodite who copied Piper and tried to charm speak Gaia into hibernation. BOOM!!! A massive explosion erupted from where Gaia stood as she was overwhelmed. As the dust settled Gaia was nowhere in sight. Cheers echoed from our side but I didn't last long enough to let one out myself as I succumbed to the darkness willingly.
