The others nodded in agreement as they all began walking out of the Forest and into camp.
"You know maybe I should give that ceremony a try," Thalia said with a smile, "it doesn't seem to bad."
"Well that's because you were on the outside," Percy said as a shiver went up his spine, "you don't want to know how it was on the inside. It was like I trapped inside my own body."
"Well I don't know, that does sound-"
ROAAAR!
Percy and the others turned to the source of that noise and saw a giant winged creature flying high above camp.
"Guys, is that-is that a dragon?!" Michael screamed in horror as the beast slowly started to descend on them.
"Everyone move!" Percy said opening his inventory and taking his new weapon out, "wake everyone up! We are under attack!"
"What are you going to do?!" Nina asked.
"I'm buying you some time!" Percy shouted as the dragon came closer and closer. It was bigger than Percy thought before, it was easily bigger than the camp Arena.
"I'll bring some air support," Thalia said readying her spear.
"Thalia you can't handle this!" Percy yelled out as the dragon only grew more in size the closer it got, "go with the others!"
"Percy-"
"-I said go!" Percy yelled out shutting the demigoddess off. The other moved quickly each trying to wake everyone up. Percy looked up and saw a giant foot come right for them.
Percy moved out of the way but the shockwave sent from the foot impacting the Earth threw everyone off their feet. The ground split open as rocks were thrown everywhere. A few came hurling towards Percy, and the demigod was fast enough to dodge them all.
"HEL-" a voice was cut off as the sound of bones snapping was heard through all the destruction. Percy turned in horror and saw the crushed body of Michael underneath a huge rock. There was blood everywhere, only half his head remained intact.
"M-Michael?" Percy asked in shock, 'no-no, this can't be happening! This can't be happening!' Percy ran to his friend's side but there was nothing left, nothing except a head and blank eyes that stared at nothing.
"ROAR!" The dragon shouted again as it moved its huge tail over Percy before slamming it down. The son of Poseidon moved away but was thrown off his footing and sent hurling through the air.
Percy smashed into the ground and quickly got up just in time to see Thalia charge up to attacked the monster.
"THALIA!" Percy screamed, but his cry fell on deaf ears as the demigoddess attacked the beast's wings tearing one apart with her lighting.
"KAAAA!" The dragon roared as it turned to Thalia. It drew back it's gigantic head and Percy could see flames lick the corner of it's mouth.
"NO!" Percy yelle doubt as he activated his speed and ran towards Thalia. He moved at his full speed and just as he came ten feet in front of her, everything stopped.
You have been trapped inside a time stasis field!
Percy couldn't move his body, he could barely move his eyes. He watched at the dragon opened it's mouth and a stream of fire burnt Thalia from head to toe. She didn't scream, she could barely move. Percy watched the flames burn first her clothes and then her skin.
Stasis field removed!
The moment Percy saw that he moved, he went into the flame and removed Thalia. He was on fire, his defence points were dropping like flies;
Defence- 296,176,000
Defence- 296,076,000
Defence- 295,976,000
Defence- 295,876,000
Defence- 295,776,000
Percy held Thalia in his arms as the flames on her body died down. Smoke rose up, but Percy could still see here clearly. Her skin was gone, Percy could see the muscles underneath move as Thalia tried to talk.
"P-pe" her vocal chords moved up and down, but she couldn't speak a single word. Percy held onto his cousin as she slowly died from the pain, he cried, because he knew there was nothing he could do.
Percy lowered Thalia's body to the ground, the time for grieving would be latter. Now was the time to fight. Percy turned towards the dragon, on instinct he reached for his pocket and pulled out Riptide.
"I'm going to make sure this hurts," Percy growled out as he zoomed towards the dragon at his max speed.
The giant monster tried to move but Percy was already on him. The demigod stabbed Riptide underneath the dragon's throat and he dragged the blade down the monster's body. Riptide cut through the monster's delicate throat causing a ball of fire to drop down and explode. Percy kept running, Riptide grew hotter and hotter, Percy could feel the skin on his plan being burnt off;
Defence- 295,775,000
Percy's grip however didn't loosen, it only tightened. The blade cut through the monster's rib cage and then it's belly. In front of him Percy could see the dragon's balls, and the demigod charged for them. Riptide cut the dragon's genital straight down the middle and Percy made sure to castrate the dragon with a twist of the wrist.
"GROO!" the dragon cried out in pain.
Riptide was covered in blood and gore. Percy eventually hit the dragon's pelvis and the celestial bronze blade broke in half. The heat was enough to soften the metal, it was amazing it lasted as long as it did.
The dragon fell down, it's insides spilled out from the cut Percy made as the demigod walked away from the dead beast.
"Impressive Jackson," a voice filled with power called out from ontop of the giant monster.
Percy jumped and ran towards the voice. There, mounted on the head of the the dragon, was a throne. Percy saw only the back, but he already knew who was there.
"Today you die Kronos," Percy said as walked up to the throne.
"No Jackson, today you die," The Titan got off the throne and turned towards Percy. He was bigger then Percy even imagined. He was around 18 to 20 feet tall. He wore greek armour with the other half of the Golden Fleece tied around his neck like a cape. His skin was olive tinted with a long black hair and a beard. His right arm and left leg were grey and bugling like a cyclops. And his eyes were hue of poisonous gold.
