《Demugad In The Battee of Blood》Just Call it the CoLEOsseum
Advertisement
Look, I have been in the Colosseum, like the real one believe it or not, this was almost as scary. My hands started to heat so I had to calm back down. I saw Electra on a mechanical spider, I look back at Annabeth, knowing she would be terrified, but all there was was Percy cradling her limp body. The spider creaked something in morse code, it was very fast and I could barely find out what it said, 'control.'
"Look Electra, you don't have to kill us." The spider lunged at me, I had time to dodge and grab one of the spider legs, snapping it off .
"Well, this is keeping my alliance with Maverick, and with him my chances increase by 76 percent.
"And how are you going to kill him?"
"I'll let Percy do that, Maverick was the one that killed Annabeth." I hear the canon and quickly turn to see Percy staring up into the trees with a cold look on his face, a dead Annabeth being cradled in his arms, another dead tribute about 20 feet in front of them. A cold wind came from the direction of the water. Waves started crashing onto the surf, a storm was approaching very quickly. This is what it looked like when Percy wanted to be scary.
"Electra get out of here before you get killed!" I dodged her attack on the now 7 legged automaton.
"Why? Are you afraid I'm going to kill you?" I hear the too familiar scream belonging to Piper McLean. A wave crashed into her and the guy fighting her, she lost balance and fell into the water dropping her dagger. Her pursuer stabbed her before another wave crashed into him, he never came back up.
"No! I'm not afraid, I know I'm going to die, either Percy or Maverick are going to kill me, if any tribute makes it out I want it to be you." I pushed her off the spider and stabbed it in a chink in the exoskeleton, disabling her monster. "Run!" She looks me in the eyes, terrified, and bolts off into the forest.

I run over to Bee, her eyes looked glazed over and blood soaked the left side of her torso. Canons start to boom, I look around Frank laying still with an arrow in his chest. Jason was nowhere to be seen, most likely swept away by the waves. That left a very angry Percy, finally standing up, still causing a storm, an injured Reyna, and the scrawny mechanic on team Demigod and Maverick and Electra on the opposing side. A hovercraft hurried and picked up Piper and Jason's bodies, leaving Piper's killer's in the water, then grabbing Frank and Bee. It went over to grab Annabeth but Percy quickly turned and realized what was happening.
He ran to Annabeth's body holding her for one last time, muttering something I couldn't make out before closing her eyes and letting the hovercraft pick her up. A few minutes later the same aircraft came and picked up the others. The storm slowly calmed as Percy's anger melted into tears, I was happy to see Reyna take over the comforting.
I came over to him and patted him on the back before telling them to go back inside the cave, tomorrow we were leaving this spot of death for good, I didn't care what Percy said.
