Third Person POV

The Gladium Spiritus flew towards Gaea, who was slowly approaching Camp Half Blood. Everyone at camp ran towards their cabins. No one could blame them, Gaea was taller than a building.

"What's the plan?" Artemis asked.

"Simple, milady. Beat the crap out of Gaea." Zoe replied.

"Hold on. Didn't Chaos say you can take on a Primordial without any problems?" the moon goddess asked Percy.

"I've never faced Primordials this huge before!" Percy yelled before continuing. "Anyway, load all missiles with incendiary warheads and fire!"

Up to eight missiles launched at the Earth Mother. They all hit her right arm but nothing happened.

"Aw, crap." Luke said.

"No kidding." Jason said.

Gaea moved her arm and suddenly, a massive barrage of giant rocks, sharp tree trunks and other random natural things that could kill a person launched at the ship.

"Oh, crap! Anti-air, open fire!" Percy yelled.

The four machine guns on the ship shot down most of the projectiles but one of the tree trunks ended up hitting the bridge, destroying one of the windows.

"Close call!" Leo yelled.

"Armor at 95 percent!" Piper said.

"Aim Lohengrin 1 and fire!"

A positron cannon came out from the left side and shot Gaea in the chest. Nothing happened. It only looked like she took a rubbery tennis ball to the gut.

"How are we supposed to do this?!" Luke said.

Gaea launched more rocks and to make matters worse, a group of Earthborn followed.

"I ain't going to let this be the end!" Percy yelled.

He turned into an eagle and dashed forward. With enough momentum, he launched himself at Gaea. The Earthborn engaged him but Percy simply sliced them with Mors Aquila and Riptide. He took Nox Lupus out and destroyed the last Earthborn which was headed at the bridge of the ship. However, a stray rock caught him off guard and knocked him out of the sky.

"PERCY!" Everyone on the ship yelled.

No one could hear him as he was about to crash into the earth. He did. Gaea launched more Earthborn but not at the ship, but at Camp Half Blood.

"Squads One and Two, get down there!" Luke yelled.

After a while, eighteen warriors covered in pitch black military uniforms. Squad One was armed with random weapons, ancient, modern or futuristic such as swords, rifles and one guy had a portable plasma cannon. Squad Two was armed with either modern guns or futuristic weapons. They fought and killed the Earthborn but more just kept coming.

"Urgh...What the...I think I got it." Percy groaned as he got up. He asked one of the soldiers for her communicator and used it to contact the bridge.

"Leo! get your butt down here! Incinerate Gaea's link with the earth!"

The son of Vulcan came down dangerously close to Gaea. Luckily, he can fly with his pyrokinesis. He unleashed two massive streams of Greek Fire. Luckily, it was enough to make Gaea scream in pain.

"Jason! Thalia! Get her off the earth!" Percy yelled as he sliced an earthborn in half with Mors Aquila.

"You got it!" Thalia said. She and Jason rushed out through the hole on the windows and combined their powers. Two violent storms suddenly appeared under Gaea's feet, causing her to float up in the air. Seeing this, Leo continued to blast her with Greek Fire.

"Piper! Lull her to sleep or something. Weaken her! Luke, Zoe! Get the L.S. Cannon ready!"

"The L.S. Cannon?! You've gotta be kidding! We haven't even tested that thing!" Luke yelled.

"That's an order, Luke!"

"R...Right!"

"What is this L.S. Cannon?" Artemis asked.

"It stands for Linear Shell Cannon. It's something Leo and his squad came up with one day." Zoe said while preparing the cannon. "It has a few kinds of ammo such as 'Cobalt Phantom' standard issue shells, 'Absolute Zero' deep freeze shells, 'Eye of the Storm' electric discharge shells, 'Flying Devestation bunker buster shells, etc. Our strongest type is our 'Endless Cataclysm' sub-nuclear shell."

"I have no idea what you just said, Zoe." Artemis replied.

"You'll get used to it. Anyway, Squad Three! Get on the L.S. cannon!"

Piper went to work and began to charmspeak Gaea, telling her to stop attacking everyone. From the center of the ship, out came a massive cannon which looks like the inner workings of a gun's barrel. (It's the Railway Gun from Lost Planet 2. Dang, I miss that game.)

Percy used is eagle power and flew towards Gaea and landed on her chest. He suddenly summons a giant ball of fire made out of every flame he could think of such as regular fire, the flames of Hestia's hearth, Greek Fire and even the flames of Hephaestus. The assassin unleashed a massive burst of flame at Gaea. Gaea began to feel pain. However, Leo was attacked by a stray Earthborn and was forced to the ground, He pulls out his Stygian Iron chainsaw and wreathed it in fire. He charges at the Earthborn.

"Son of Poseidon...you...will DIE!"

Gaea used her free left hand and tried to crush Percy, who was busy using his new fire powers.

"PERCY! Look out!" Luke yelled in the assassin's communicator.

Gaea was supposedly successful. The fire stopped but the Earth Mother screamed and flinched backwards after hitting her intense burn mark.

"No. Not yet!"

A random phantom eagle popped out of invisibility. The identity of this thing was plainly obvious.

"Percy!" Everyone screamed.

He turned into his old self again upon landing on the L.S. Cannon.

"Load an 'Eternal Inferno' incendiary shell!"

A blood red and orange shell with a pointed tip and a blue, tribal style stripe at the end was loaded. An Earthborn landed from nowhere and attacked. Percy rushed forward and crushed it with his demon arm ability and rushed at the console and jumped.

"EAT THIS!" he screamed as he pushed the fire button.

The shell launched with the speed of a handgun bullet. The "Eternal Inferno" struck Gaea in the same burn mark Percy gave her. She fell to the ground, melting into the earth while slowly falling apart, piece by piece. Jason and Thalia fell on the floor, tired from keeping Gaea up in the air. Piper also fell on the floor while trying to get air in her lungs. Luke and Zoe grabbed each other and began to make out while Artemis raised an eye brow and smirked while watching them.

"Alright. We've beaten Gaea!"

Cheers erupted afterwards from Camp Half Blood.
