"Why are you attacking us now," Percy growled out as he tightened his grip on the broken blade. His palm was covered with melted metal bronze, but Percy didn't notice.
"Because I finally got a reason to," Kronos snapped his arm and a large cross appeared by his side. On the cross hung a blonde boy with his right arm missing and blood spilling out his guts. He had no shirt on and Percy could see the signs of torture riddled across his body. His head hung low, but Percy didn't need to see it to know who it was.
"LUKE!"
"Did you really think I wouldn't find out about your little spy?" Kronos said tracing a finger across Luke's face, "the stupid boy. Stubborn till the end. Didn't give you all up even when I cut off his arm."
Percy's eyes went wide in rage. The anger poured through his body. His mind tried to bring it under control, but it was like using a bucket to stop a flood.
Ping!
Perk: 'Le Bete' activated! You gained +50 to all stats!
Percy's eyes turned yellow with rage. Kronos looked at them and smiled, "has anyone ever said that you look like me when angry?"
"DIE!" was Percy's only response. He charged Kronos his blade held up high as he swung at the Titan's neck. Kronos raised a fist and blocked the blade with this bare hand.
"You are going to have to do better than that bas-"
Body Form Activated: Right leg!
Percy threw a kick with Body form and Earthquake power into Kronos's face breaking his teeth. Percy then used his Speed Demon to repeatedly kick the titan over and over again launching wave after wave of attacks. The Titan's grip on Percy loosened and the demigod jumped away.
Percy grabbed his blade and ripped it out off his hand tearing away parts of his skin that was melted onto the handle of the blade. Percy opened his inventory and pulled out his new weapon and charged again.
Kronos snapped his fingers causing his face to turn back into normal. He then grabbed Percy's charging form be the head of the spear and threw Percy to the side.
"You call this a weapon?" Kronos said looking at the white spear, "pathetic." Kronos then grabbed two ends of the staff and bent it snapping the weapon I half.
Percy's eyes grew in shock, but he didn't let his surprise stop him. Percy got up and charged Kronos.
Body Form Activated: Full Body!
Percy launched punch after punch at the Titan. Some made impact, most didn't. Kronos began fighting back as the two launched blow after blow at each other. Shockwaves of energy exploded outwards as Percy's defence was being destroyed by the millions.
Defence- 294,775,000
Defence- 293,775,000
Defence- 292,775,000
Percy was choking out blood, but none of it was fatal to him. In a cloud of anger and confusion the demigod activated his Super Speed and slowly his attacks became faster.
The Titan smirked, "you think just because you become a little faster that you-"
Percy grabbed Kronos's fiat and punched the elbow bending it inwards. Krono's arm snapped in half as his right right forearm bone was torn out. Percy grabbed the bone and in one swift motion ripped it out of the Titan's body before kicking the time God to the ground.
"ARGHHH!" Kronos yelled out holding his destroyed arm. Muscles, veins and nerves previously attached to the bone were now hanging out. Percy held the white bone in his hands as Ichor poured down.
Percy slowly approached the Titan, his grip on bone tightened. Percy could feel the ichor mix with his own blood in his injured right palm. Kronos tured to move the pain was too much.
Percy didn't waste any time. He jumped up and thrusted the bone towards Kronos's head. Moments before the bone pierced the Titan's head, Kronos vanished in a flash of light.
Percy impaled the bone into the dead dragon below. He had failed, but the anger was still there. Percy got up and looked for another enemy to fight, the curse of Le Bete demanded it. The demigod looked and saw other campers gathered all around the dead dragon. He had found his new victims.
The son of Poseidon moved with his advanced speed. The bone of Kronos's forearm found itself in his hands once again. Percy's golden eyes came across like streaks as he zoomed across the camp.
Campers screamed in horror as the first demigod fell. Percy stood over the body with the fallen demigod's blood on his hands. He looked around and before anyone could do or say anything Percy was on the move.
Blood flew left and right demigods fell at Percy's hands. The curse of Le Bete activated;
Ping!
You have killed while under the effects of Le Bete! You have temporarily gained +2 to all stats!
Ping!

Percy couldn't stop himself. There was a part of him inside that wanted to stop, but the rules of the Game made it impossible. Percy killed his friends, people who believed in him. They died trying to run away, but Percy was to fast for them.
"Percy stop!" a voice cried out drawing Percy's attention. The monster that was the son of Poseidon turned and saw Annabeth. Percy reached the demigoddess in the blink of an eye. The bone of Kronos impaled her through and through as she hugged Percy's neck, "please stop."
Percy removed the bone and intended to move to his next victim when suddenly Annabeth wrapped her arm's around his body.
"Come back to us Percy," he whispered as she fell slowly to the ground.
Percy's eyes blinked in confusion, the yellow slowly faded away giving way fro Percy's sea green eyes. Percy's sock was clear as day as he the bone of Kronos fell to ground. Percy immediately grabbed Annabeth shoulders and held her close.
"Annabeth? Annabeth?!" Percy cried out in pain, "no, no, no, no!"
"It's not your fault Percy," Annabeth said with a strained smile, "I remember the curse."
"Please stay with me! Please! I'll heal you! I know I can! We can get the Fleece!"
"It's too late," Annabeth said with blood flowing out of her mouth, "this is deja vu all over again huh?"
"I'll fix this!" Percy yelled out, "I promise I'll fix this Annabeth! I'll bring you back like last time! I'll bring you all back!"
"No, not this time," Annabeth smiled as slowly all the life bleed out of her.
Tears flowed freely from Percy's eyes. Guilt threatened to consume him from the inside. Percy held the body of his friend, he killed her. He was to blame. He lost control and in doing so let this happen. He was the reason they were all dead.
"Percy?" Nico's voice was heard from the side.
Percy looked up with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry. I so so sorry. I wasn't in control, I-" Percy got up to approach the boy when Clarisse stepped in front of Nico with his weapon drawn.
"Stay away from us!" the daughter of Ares shouted.
"Clarisse it wasn't my fault! I wasn't in control! You have got to believe me!" Percy tried to reason.
