Leo's pov
We reached the summit, or, at least, the ridge just below the palace. Jason had flown up just to get an idea of what we were against. He came back, face drained of all color.
"Percy's chained, being held down by Kronos. He looks weak, to weak, but still struggles. And Alex..... let's just say the sky will litterally crush her any minute..."
Annabeth gasps. "That's how they're going to kill them? Percy and I could hardly stand ten minutes of holding the sky... Artemis didn't fair much better."
"Oh... that night..." Zoë says. "My father is free again?"
Jason nods.
Annabeth pulls a knife and climbs up to the edge of the ridge. She chucks her knife and a loud thud is heard. Then a few moments later another thud is heard.
"Where's Alex?" I ask.
"A few yards away... Frank, Jason, deal with Atlas, but don't kill him. He needs to hold up the sky. Leo, help Alex best you can, but do not under any circumstances take the full weight of the sky on your own, call out to Frank and Jason so they can push Atlas back to the sky. Zoë, you're gonna help me with Kronos." Annabeth says, a cammanding arua falling over her.
"And me?" Emily asks.
"Go where you're needed alright?" Annabeth says quickly. I wouldn't besuprized if more monsters came, so deal with them."
Emily nods and pulls her sword out.
"Go!" We seperate and go our various destinations.
I sprint to Alex, throwing a flameball at another Titan who was trying to kill me. He burns up. Success.
I run to Alex's side and take some of the weight. This is seriously painful.
Alex looks over at me and I see a few streaks of grey in her raven hair. "L-Leo......?" Her voice is strained.
I nod, not able to do much more. The sky pushes down on us and it's all I can feel.
I glance up and see a hoard of monsters running up a large stair way that lead to the little feild we were in. Emily stood at the top of the stairs, death sword at the ready.
Percy was injured badly, but continued to fight along side Annabeth and Zoë who certainly weren't unscathed. They were exhasted as well.
Jason flew around Atlas's head while Frank was a rhino tromping around the Titan's legs, stabbing him in the legs when he lost interest.
I couldn't hold my head up anymore. I look over to see Alex about ready to pass out. Her legs and arms shook terribly and blood pooled around her. "Hold on, Alex..." I force out.
No reply.
More weight falls on my shoulders as she passes out. I growl as I feel myself fall towards the earth below me. I shift slightly. The pain flares and I see black for a moment.
I blink and my vision returns to normal. "I need a Grace over here!" I shout, strained.
My vision blacks again for a moment. I shake my head as the sky push me down even more.
I see Atlas standing before me, Jason and Frank forcing him closer to me. "Take the sky Atlas!" Jason shouts.
"Never!"
I'm tempted to burn his rear end, but my hands are kinda busy right now, holding the sky and all...
"Leo! Get her out of the way!" Jason yells.
How the Hades am I suppose to do that? If I let go, it'll crush us both!
"Uh, little busy!" I yell, strained.
An orangatang runs up and moves Alex away from the platform. I sigh slightly, but don't relax my stance.
I look around and see Emily surrounded by monsters, but still holding her own as Percy runs as fast as he can to help Jason. Annabeth head
