Broken || A Riordan Universe Story

Nico POV~ "HELP!"

Leo fell with a thud, as the monsters charged towards us in all different directions.

"LEO!" Calypso ran to his side.

"Is he okay?" Jason asked worriedly.

"I'll take care of him. The rest of you, go." She replied firmly.

"Fan out!" Shouted Annabeth, "but stay near and yell for help if you need it."

"Let's get our karate kid on!" Exclaimed Jack.

"Sure that works." Grinned Percy as he and Annabeth ran off in the same direction to meet the horde of beasts.

"Let's go, Nico." Reyna motioned for me to follow her.

"Coming." I jogged after her.

The first monster I met up with was a tall Cyclops. I took out my Stygian Iron blade and cleanly threw it into the beat's chest as it dissolved into dust. I picked up my sword and continued to slash, and hack. Then I met up with the weirdest creature I've seen, (and that says a lot). It had the body of a human and the head of a double-bladed battle ax.

"What are you?" I asked.

"Your worst nightmare." It replied.

"How can you talk?" I dodged its hit.

"Fight me." It said.

"HEY!" I yelled, "DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS THING IS?"

"THAT'S BLOODSTAINED BLADE! HE USED TO WORK FOR US!" Carter yelled back.

"HOW DO I KILL IT?" The blade continued to try and end my life.

"NO IDEA!" Yelled Saide.

"THANKS," I said with heavy sarcasm.

"ANYTIME," Sadie replied.

At that moment I heard a scream. I quickly turned away from the bloody blade thingy and ran towards the sound. Calypso was laying on her legs as flames erupted from Leo's hands and almost flew right at her.

"LEO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Annabeth yelled.

As I got closer, I looked at him and saw that his usual brown eyes were completely covered in red. That could only mean one thing.

"HE'S POSSESSED!" I shouted.

He continued to shoot flames at Calypso as all of us tried to run towards him. She successfully dodged the first few, but then the log in front of her caught on fire. Jason tackled Leo to the ground as Percy slapped him straight across the face.

"Snap out of it idiot!" He urged.

"HELP!" Calypso screamed.

It was like her voice snapped him out of it. Leo quickly sat up.

"CALLIE!" He sprinted across the beach to get to her. As another tree fell and trapped her in a firey circle.

The flames spread fast, and soon we couldn't see her.

"I'M COMING JUST HOLD ON!" Leo kept running with Percy in pursuit.

Percy was churning up a storm to save Calypso, but he couldn't finish his work because at that moment the circular rock sunk down, and created a vacuum. It was a black hole that was sucking everything toward it. It soon formed a tornado-like shape that just kept spinning. I tried to hold onto something, anything, but to no avail. Everyone was pulled toward it, but only one kept getting pulled.

"PERCY!" Annabeth screeched and ear-piercing scream of pain.

A bubble surrounded the hole after Percy was within a couple feet of it which shielded us from getting sucked in. He held onto on to of the trees in the bubble.

"Don't worry Annabeth." He smiled a sad broken smile at her. "I will always find my way back to you."

And with that, the vacuum closed up around him and left no trace of what had just happened.

"He's in my realm now." Cackled Khaos, "and he's never getting out."

The monsters were barreling towards us, so I did the thing that Will hated the most. A familiar cold sensation flooded over me as I saw the dining hall of Camp Half-Blood again. I looked around and saw that I missed two people.

Calypso, and Percy.

The campers surrounded us as everyone fell to their knees. Leo and Annabeth were sobbing the loudest.

Broken.

Heart-Wenching.

Sobs.

Over and over again.

That was the last sound I heard as I blacked out.
