Percy POV

           The first thing I'm going to after we get out?

Storm down to wherever the Fates live.

          Second thing?

Beat the heck out of them.

         The third thing?

Make them get Annabeth back.

       Hela snapped her fingers and the opposite wall disappeared, showing us Annabeth and Sylvie chained onto the wall.

"Annabeth..." I slowly walked over.

"Yes... yes... you want her back? Trade for her." Hela spoke in my ears. My mind turned blank for a moment, and I forgot who I was, and where I was.

"NO! Percy! Don't listen to her!" Annabeth cried, but her voice sounds distant.

"Silence, girl. You don't want me to do what I have to do, do you?" Hela's voice turned harsh.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Oh, you heard nothing, dear. As  said, you want her back, don't you?" Hela smiled.

"Yes. Annie, did I mention... I love you?" I said without thinking, but it came out more like a question.

"PERCY! WAKE UP! SNAP OUT OF IT!" someone screamed in my ears and smacked me across the face.

         My mind was suddenly cleared. I turned around and saw Loki looking at me, worried. Right in front of me was a pit filled with snake venom- probably collected from all those years when Loki was here.

"Thanks man." I mumbled, shivering at what would happen if I fell down. How did I not notice that before?

"No problem." Loki smiled.

"Oh come on, brother! Why can't I have some fun?" Hela whined.

"And why do you not care if she calls you brother, brother?" Thor added.

"First, that's not fun, and second, do NOT call me brother. You really are the worst." Loki warned Thor.

"Stop repeating that!" Thor moaned.

"Nope. You brought us into this and you were the one who caused the problem between us, so nope." Loki said and popped the 'p' in 'nope'.

"Ahem. As said, you have to trade me something for those two," she guestured at Annabeth and another girl whom I couldn't see clearly from the lighting, "So do you want to save them or not?"

"Yes! Of course! I mean, what do you want, Hela?" Thor growled.

"Oh, it's nothing. I only want your eyes and your magic." she smiled sickly at me.

"What?"

"As I told you, the sea's eyes will grind eventually. Why not use it for something useful? Or have you not read the prochecy in the cave?"

"Fine." I stepped up.

"No! Percy, you'll need your eyes!" Annabeth shouted.

"You are my eyes, Annabeth. You are my everything!" I said sadly.

"No. Please, don't do this, Percy. For me. Please." Annabeth cried.

I hesitated.

"Oh no you don't!" Hela smirked and snapped her fingers.

          The chains vapourized, unfortunately dropping Annabeth and the unconscious- or dead- girl into the poison below.

"NO!" I screamed.

          Just then, I remember that poison is a liquid. But Posiedon doesn't control every single liquid there is. Then again, I did almost kill Akhlys back in Tartarus. So, I vapourized the poison.

      I jumped down into the now-empty moat and carried the two girls out. For the first time, I saw the other girl's face.

Sylvie.

      With a bit of help from Loki, I managed to vapour travel me and two girls back up. I laid Annabeth on the ground.

"Annabeth?" I gentily shook her.

"Hey Seaweed Brain." she opened her eyes and smiled. My heart started beating again.

"Sylvie? SYLVIE! WAKE UP!" I dimlmly heard Loki shouted, but what scared me is that Sylvie remained motionless. "No. No no no no no! She can't be dead! I...I love her." Loki cried.

         A wave of anger washed over me.

No one, and I mean no one kills my friend. Even if I never met Sylvie before.

        I uncapped Riptide and swung it at Hela. Hela had upgraded too. She now wore a chest plate and held a sword too. She blocked my hit. 

Sadly, Hela isn't an idiot.

       Hela wheeled around with amazing speed and tried to stab Loki. But Loki is fast too. He blocked the blow and the two moved with blinding speed. Unfortunately, she screamed,"Raise!" and dead zombies began to crawl out of the ground.

But that was enough for Hela to get back up.

     She grabbed Loki's throat and watched in amusement while Loki clawed at her hand. I rushed to help my friend, but a wave of zombies circled me. I felt a tug in my gut and a wave of water choked the zombies and the unsuspecting Hela. 

      Annabeth seems to be holding off her own just fine. I rushed to help Loki to fight Hela. The rest of the group were fighting the zombies pretty well. Well, better than I expected anyways. I didn't even know their weapons worked. Norse is probably different than Greek though.

      Thor was helping Loki though. Using the last bit of strength, I formed a hurricane around me and charged.

       Another wave of zombies charged at me. I sliced, dodged (they had weapons) and finished them off. When I finally got to Thor and Loki, they were cut and bruised. On the count of three two one, we stabbed, well Thor electrified, Hela together. She only smiled. Then, she snapped her fingers and the roof of the cavern started to collapse.

"Everyone! Out, NOW!" I barked.

     Loki quickly picked up Sylvie and we all dodged the falling rocks. Sunlight poured in. If I remember correctly, this place is burried deep in the ground, but I wasn't complaining. I grabbed Annabeth's hand just in time for a boulder to replace her place. Another debris seperated us, forcing me to get out. The rest of the group was already out.

"ANNABETH!" I yelled.

"Go, Percy! We both clearly know what the prophecy said! Swear on the River Styx that you won't kill yourself!" Annabeth said desperately, her face covered in ash, half buried in the dirt.

"No. Annabeth, I-"

"HURRY!"

"Poor little mortals, believing in love." I heard Hela laughed crazily underneath the debris. "Too bad I can't kill both of you or else you won't suffer enough!" 

"I... I Persues Jackson swear on the River Styx that I won't kill myself." I cried.

"Remember, Seaweed Brain. I will always love you." Annabeth smiled.

"NO! ANNABETH!" I lunged in to pull Annabeth back to safety, but a pair of strong hands forced me back. Within a second, me, the Avengers, Loki and Sylvie were in the middle of a gigantic heap of fallen dirt, rocks, boulders and debris.

"No. Annabeth. Why. Why did you pull me back?" I glared at Steve, who pulled me back.

"We all saw what happened. You would've died!"

"Well it's better than being here without her!" I snapped back. I felt hot tears threatening to drop.

"Let's go, Perce. I-I'll teleport us back." Loki placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

        With one last glare at the Avengers and Sylvie in his arms, Loki teleported us away, and I blacked out in the proccess.
