WOW! There's only ONE MORE CHAPTER and the series ends! The entire battle will be in here…X) Maybe. We'll see. :D Sooooooooo sorry I haven't updated. I came down with a bad cold.

Thalia's Point of View:
"THALIA!"
I heard someone scream my name. I looked up, momentarily forgetting the arrows.
Luke stared at me, eyes wide. I looked back down at the arrows. As they pierced every angle of my flesh.
-x-x-x-
Percy's Point of View:
Cerberus whined as he came up for air.
"Why do you need the air?" I hissed at him. "You've been dead since before Hades got you!"
He shook his six ears from the water in them and snorted at me. At least he knew how to swim well. I sat on his middle head, looking out in the water. All the gods and goddesses had begun fighting, Ichor spilling everywhere. I winced. Guts were flying, gods were cursing. But…something caught my eye. A pool of red came from below the ocean. I tried to look into the murky water.
Cerberus whined loudly, scared out of his mind. He splashed with his paws.
"Whoa…" I said.
He didn't listen.
I stood and prepared to dive. Cerberus began shivering. I could feel my teeth chatter with every shiver that coursed through his body. I shook my own head once, and dived. The water greeted me with a calm giggle of bubbles. I breathed in the water, sighing and looking for the source of blood.
My OWN blood ran cold.
Thalia had a million arrows sticking out of her, her body floating down to the deep. The hunters and Artemis started wading to the surface.
I held in my scream and dashed to her side. The water let me go faster then normal, so I reached her awfully quickly. Her eyes were fluttering open absently, an arrow in her neck.
A tear fell from my eyes and blended with the water.
"Thalia…" I gasped.
"Percy…take the necklace…" she sucked in some water (or air or…you know what I mean!)
"What? What necklace?"
"The necklace of Harmonia!" she coughed up blood.
Thalia swallowed hard and looked at me with sad eyes.
"No…you can't leave me!" I said. "Not you and Annabeth!"
"I hope…to meet you there…soon enough…tell Luke…I love him…"
The life swept from her eyes. I held her carcass for about fifteen minutes, staring at her unmoving lips. Finally, I took in a deep breath. I ripped the necklace from her throat and let her body drift to the bottom of the ocean. I watched it until it hit the bottom. With a snap of my fingers, I made the crystals in the deepest pit of the ocean overlap her, an undying tomb.
"Goodbye Thalia," I said coldly. "You were brave,"
And now. The one who caused this. The one who was going to pay with his Ichor. Kronos.
-x-x-x-x-
3rd person point of view:
Kronos roared out, laughing. His father had been bound, all the Ancients in a bundle. He, however, could not find that damn Perseus.
Eris scanned the waters. She couldn't see him either.
Harmonia and Pan had been blindfolded and tied, mumbling and screaming at her.
Percy hid in the waters well.
Kronos turned in his direction. He pounded the water. Percy rose from it, clawing to get back into the depths.
"Too late young hero!" he laughed.
-x-
Percy's Point of View:
He caught me.
I tried to rip at the air, but of course, how can you rip at air?
"LET ME GO!"
"Ooooh!" Eris cooed. "He has the necklace, my lord!"
"Aha!" Kronos looked at the necklace that was flailing in my hand.
"NO!" I screamed, trying to dodge his grasps.
"HOLD STILL, GRANDSON!" Kronos grabbed my hand.
"Let go!" I yelled.
"Ha!"
He started to squeeze my hand. Now, if you have ever gotten your hand squeezed by a titan…it isn't pleasant. Their hands are twelve times bigger than yours, and with bigger comes stronger.
I screamed loudly, dropping the necklace into his grasp. He let go of my hand, staring at the necklace.
"HA! And now, grandson, the Hunters will execute you!"
As if on cue, Artemis and her hunters turned their bows and arrows towards me.
"Any last words?" my grandpa snorted.
"Yes," I smirked. "GODS! BREAK OUT FROM YOUR TRANCE! KNOW WHO WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS WRONG! KNOW WHO YOUR ENEMIES ARE! FIGHT HIM!"
Kronos burst out into giggles.
"Oh goodness…you are a funny child," he smiled. "Shoot him, Artemis,"
Artemis inclined her head and pulled back her arrow.
I took in a deep breath. Crap.
"And FIRE!"
I shut my eyes and waited for the shower of arrows. Instead of hearing, myself scream in pain, I heard a different voice.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Kronos wailed.
I felt myself falling back into the water. Cerberus was under me, and raised me to the surface immediately.
When I looked over, Harmonia had tied Eris and gagged her.
"You're holding my necklace, smart one," she smiled sweetly. "That means misfortune to those who carry it,"
"That was my plan," I said. "I knew it was necklace after Thalia got hit by so many arrows,"
"KRONOS!" Zeus roared.
Poseidon came alive with his trident, and Hades was glowing a steady gray.
Kronos swallowed hard.
I felt…dizzy. Somewhat…distant. I looked around me. The gods were going to avenge themselves, and Kronos was going to die—again. I smiled contently.
"Luke!" I said, as I spotted him.
He stopped yelling and turned to me.
"Yeah?"
"Thalia says she loves you,"
"…tell her I love her too," he smiled.
"Will……..do,"
I closed my eyes…and felt my soul drift from my body.
