CHAPTER XIX: GIANT FIGHT

Percy's POV

"You better not die, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said affectionately. "Remember what I told you."

"I will, Wise Girl. Love you," Percy responded.

"Love you too." Percy leaned over and kissed Annabeth. Annabeth kissed back. They stopped as soon as Korg came. Korg directed Percy to the door.

"Good luck. Everyone that's ever fought him has died, be the first to not."

Percy nodded. Time to fight the Incredible Hulk. By himself. Not by a water body. While secretly stealing nearby water from drinks and whatnot.

"To quote every Star Wars movie ever made, 'I have a bad feeling about this,'" Percy muttered to himself.

The massive door slowly opened and Percy entered the arena. He had a broad circular shield (he may or may not have chosen the shape because of Captain America), a breastplate, a Sakaarian sword, and Riptide in his pocket. Somehow no one noticed that his sword was missing from when Valkyrie first fought him and Annabeth, so he just kept it in his pocket the entire time.

A giant hologram of the Grandmaster was in the center of the arena. "Now, for what we've all been waiting for: the finale! The Son of Poseidon versus the Incredible-"

Percy couldn't hear 'Hulk' despite the  speakers blasting his voice across the arena. The Hulk himself smashed through his door, shouting a battle cry at the top of his lungs.

Percy knew the Hulk was big, but his idea of size was thrown off once he saw Bruce Banner's angry counterpart. He was huge, and angry. This was gonna be harder than he thought.

And before he knew it, Percy was running into battle.

Annabeth had done math and stuff, and had figured out that, in order to provide for everyone there, there had to be a huge amount of water. Not necessarily in the form of water, but beverages like beer had large portions of water in them, so she figured it would work.

If Percy could pretend to fight long enough to gather enough water, he could use it to gain his and Annabeth's freedom. Thor would've defeated the Hulk if the Grandmaster hadn't interfered, so Percy, another guy with powers and blood of the gods, should be able to do it.

"Hey, Hulk! Big fan of yours!" Percy shouted. "Let's get this goin,' man, and sort out our differences, Yoda." Oh, Gen Z kids. Put them into a life or death situation and they respond with quips or sarcasm or sass.

Percy saw some containers of some liquid in the first few rows. Mini concession stands for alcohol. Percy slowly started to seep the water out of the container and into a shadowy area of the arena. He moved so little at a time that you'd have to watch carefully to see it. "Don't screw up, Jackson," Percy said to himself. This was usually the part where something bad happened and he had to improvise.

Percy immediately backed up and covered himself with his shield. He started speeding up the process of collecting water. Annabeth told him not to, but he'd need that water in five minutes, no doubt.

The water trickled down into his shadowy area. Spectators were noticing once full glasses were suddenly empty. Percy could perfectly imagine Annabeth facepalming.

"Hulk smash!"

"Yeah, more like Hulk crash!" "You are stupid, Perseus Jackson. You're just making him angrier. Stop tryna be edgy!" Percy said and thought. He decided to stop the quips and try to be serious.

Percy tried to punctures the Hulk's green skin with the Sakaarian sword just to find that it snapped. "Well, there goes a perfectly good sword!"

Percy glanced at his water area. He felt it physically; he was getting close. Great timing, Hulk was charging toward Percy. Percy hadn't seen anything charge like that since Hephaestus's bronze bulls that broke through Camp Half-Blood's protective shield. Dang, that was when he rescued Grover from Polyphemus and got the Golden Fleece, and Thalia came back from being a tree. That was a long time ago.

"Focus!" Percy thought to himself , frustrated with the fact that he couldn't focus on the giant green rage monster in front of him. Percy grabbed Riptide and uncapped it, revealing the Celestial Bronze sword.

But, he was ready. Percy leapt to be right in front of the water. He let Hulk run at him, only to blast Hulk with the water.

And that's when all heck went loose.
