(Oh yeah. This is beast. I am roleplaying with MYSELF!)
A crude laugh came from Willow, and she swung her dark blade again, only to find it parried by the monster person thing. Annoyed, Willow swung even harder. She didn't like to cheat by using her powers in hand to hand combat, so she was parried again, but another camper stabbed the monster from the back. Willow smiled at her, "I'm your transport back to camp Everyone hold on!" The demigods grabbed her shoulders, her free hand, and even her hair. That annoyed her, but she shadow traveled into the group's own shadow, appearing in the forest. With a weary smile, her dark eyes glowing in their own way, Willow traveled back into the shadow of a tree, reappearing in the shadow of a monster, "I hate it when this happens." She grumbled to herself, slowly dodging out of the way of the monster, panting as she got up. Willow was really tired, and this quick Hellhound wasn't doing her justice. She saw a shadow coming, and Willow ducked as Draco soared over her, crashing into the Hellhound, ripping out its throat in an instant. "C'mon Draco, there can't be that many campers left." Even at her full extent, Willow couldn't safely shadow travel after about five times. And she was at six.

Zeke watched the boy run, wondering if he should simply shoot a shard of ice into his back as a little going away present. Instead, he turned to find that he'd been practically blind to the fighting occurring around him. It seemed as if most of the campers had either died or disappeared. Only a few were left. He recognized some - Summer, Terry, Willow. Others were nameless. But, with less Greeks and Romans to worry about, Gaea's forces were focusing on the few still remaining. As if on cue, Zeke found himself face to face with a pack of hellhounds, which he quickly disposed of before making his way to Summer, who seemed to be in the middle of the fight with a couple other campers around her. Allowing the ice around him to melt - except his swords - he began to slice his way closer to her. "Where is everyone?" he asked, defending himself against an empousa. (sp?)

Cole- He turned and blocked Caroline's blade, catching her gaze for a moment before breaking eye contact in shame. He turned letting his sword fall to the ground. Brother... And then Shade who had run up behind him stabbed. His hazel eyes grew wide with surprise. Cole coughed, seeing red. Then he slid to the ground. Brother... Why did he do that? Well, he would get to see his twin again.
Shade- He stared in shock at Caroline, but it was just another Gaea's soldier, though turned good in the end. They didn't have time for this. He looked about ready to not care about anyone's death. He had to get Caroline out of here. "We need to leave." He told her urgently, grabbing her hand. "I'm transporting everyone, and we have to be quick. To Terry's firned's place."

"Shade..." Caroline stepped back in surprise as Cole dropped to the ground and choked back a sob. This was why she shouldn't get into a conversation with the other side. "C-Cole was good, he knew..." She had had some hope that they would be able to take Cole safely with them. He had nothing left since his twin was dead, but he could've still made friends. But it looked like they would only lose demigods. And the camps would lose even more if she didn't hurry. Caroline forced herself to tear her eyes away from Cole's body, then nodded. "Let's go." And he wouldn't even get a proper shroud.
Summer slashed through an empousa, and stepped back as it exploded into golden dust. She took a second to glance around, and was relieved that there were only a few demigods remaining. Hope flared in her chest. They would make it. It was possible the camps could survive this. But one look at Willow, and her hope wavered. Her friend looked horrible-no offense-and dead tired. No pun intended. And Shade was nowhere in sight.

"Crapcrapcrapcrap." Willow mumbled to herself as she slowly made her way to a small group of demigods remaining, her leaning on Draco, and Draco barely able to stand up. Not many more. This would soon be over. Willow would be fine. She "jogged" over to the group. They must've thought she was the enemy, because they drew her swords, "No...Willow..Me..I'll take you guys...Back to camp...Gotta hold on to. Me." It was painful to take a breath, and almost impossible to stand up. But they grabbed onto her hands and shoulders, and Willow traveled into Draco's shadow, emerging behind the Poseidon Cabin, under a deep shadow. Willow let go of the campers, sinking slowly back into the shadows, reemerging next to Draco. Willow's knees buckled, but Draco fed her some of his energy, which made Willow able to stand-but that would soon leave.

And in the next second, Summer had lost sight of her friend again as another empousa darted in front of her. She lashed out, and it disappeared into golden dust, but now Willow was nowhere to be seen. She just hoped Willow didn't kill herself trying to save the other demigods.

Apparently, Summer hadn't heard him. That, or she was ignoring him. So, Zeke fended off a few monsters and repeated himself. "Summer, where is everyone?" he said, adding her name to the sentence to see if that would get her attention, as he sliced another empusa in two and stabbed at a hellhound.

Where is everyone? Gotta....What? Wait! Gotta shadow travel the last campers. Willow cast her eyes around. Mostly everyone was gone, so many of Gaea's forces were going for her friends and other people. Could she get them all in one final shadow travel? Willow's dark eyes set onto Summer, and she "ran" forwards. "Summer! Gotta go! Clock..Ticking!" Willow had summoned a lot of energy for that, for she had incorporated some of her demonic screaming ability to make it louder. Draco pushed her along, and soon Willow was within ten feet of Summer. Again. "We HAVE to go....They are....coming in h-huge amounts.." Willow knew Summer could hear her, so she did not feel the need to raise her breaking voice. An emposa came behind her, swords and everything. Willow just sent a very small shadow blade at her heart. The emposa barely felt it, but soon the amount of shadows in her turned the monster to dust.

(Oops, didn't see, sorry, lol.) "Wha-?" Summer spun around at the sound of Zeke's voice. "They're safe in the mortal world." At least I hope they're safe. But if it was Terry's friend, they could trust him. "We've got to get out of here too." Willow appeared again, and Summer nodded urgently. "I think we're the last ones. Come on," she told Zeke, and rushed towards Willow, but then skidded to a stop at the last second. "I need to make sure there's no one left in the Infirmary!" If they left anyone, that would suck for that person. Summer turned on her heel and sprinted to the Infirmary. "Try to hold on for a while longer, Willow!"
(Yeah, so 'Unsure and Unaware' would make sense.)

(Haha, it's fine.)
Zeke nodded in reply, though he had his doubts about the safety of the mortal world. As Summer ran to the infirmary to make sure everyone was out, he stayed with Willow. He could tell she was getting weaker and he didn't want to rely on an exhausted demigod to magically get him and the rest of the campers still alive to where they needed to be. His luck, they'd end up in New Mexico or Mongolia or something. So, he'd try to make sure he did most of the fighting and let Willow save as much energy as she could.

Shade grabbed Caroine's hand, squeezing tightly like he was afraid she might dissapear. He found it hard to speak. He had just killed a person, even if he was a Gaean, he had been good in the end. He just couldn't stand looking at the body. It was the first time he had killed someone, even though he had intended to kill plenty of times before. It was still the first time. "I'm going to get you out of here." Shade promised, pulling her under a tree and shadow traveling out.
(Lol, how are where will we stay? Should we make a board?)

(I made a board, lol. In the mortal world.)
Caroline closed her eyes, tears leaking through, but dissolving as soon as they came, due to her control over water. She couldn't wait for this to all be over. Maybe once the demigods were in the Mortal World, Gaea would leave them alone for a while. They could see how many campers were left, hopefully recruit some more, fight again and win back their camp. And the Greeks' camp, too. Of course, that's far from happening. At least not for a while.

Willow nodded at Summer, her eyes almost closing. She weakly slapped herself, cursing the fact that she was limited, and others could see it, as well. When the next emposa came up, Willow looked at Draco, who lazily moved his tail, hitting the emposa back many hundred feet. And a little more energy swam into Willow's body, and she felt Draco sag beside her, then get into what looked like a sleeping pose, and rest his head. Draco had used up most of his energy, and he decided it was time to sleep and regain it. Willow loved her friends too much to do that.

Vision slowly started to fill Jacob's eyes. As soon as any thought flooded in, it was first Mikayla that he thought about. Where is she? he thought. He tried to make sense of his surroundings. He saw Maxine and Hugo pulling him into the forest. Hugo... His hand was gone... Maxine was still in a bad condition from Krissie those months ago. Was this all they had? Was this finally the end of the campers? Jacob turned his head to see the battlefield. The battle was practically over. They were finished. There were barley any campers left. Were they dead? Or did they retreat? "Mikayla..." he moaned. "Where is she?" Maxine made a shush signal. Finally, they made it to the clearing. He saw about 13 other campers. Survivors, maybe? One of them was Mikayla. In her time spent at camp she learned to be a medic. She was helping the injured. Jacob allowed one tear to roll down his cheek. As soon as his sister saw him, she ran towards him. He embraced her and cried. "I missed you..." he said. After a long moment, he let go. Hugo put his good hand on his shoulder. "Some Hades kids are shadow-traveling campers out of here," he said. "We're hiding out here as we wait. It'll all be over soon." Jacob almost forgot about the agonizing pain. He soon flooded back after the moment. He gasped but Maxine covered his mouth. "Shhh," she whispered. "Be quiet and go to sleep. It'll all be over soon."
It'll all be over soon.

Terry tumbled out of the infirmary window after Summer and Ryan. He was exhausted, seeing in the clearing that there was no one left but Willow and Zeke. Despite his tiredness, the son of Minerva charged forward to help the two, slamming aside a hellhound. "That's everyone. Willow, can you take us all?"

Willow looked at Terry slowly, and it took her a moment to realize e was talking to her, "I can take you all, but it...might be a bumpy ride." Willow pulled herself up as high as she could, "I can make it through one more trip. If anyone lingers, they stay here forever." Willow looked around. Not too many people. She could make it. Most likely. Not.

Zeke nodded, looking around him. He saw no campers other than the ones directly around him and the ones who'd fallen in battle - which would be left behind as the living were the priority, at the moment. Still, the Gaeans were gathering together, moving toward them. "We have to go, now, or we're not going at all," he said, "There are too many to stay here for any longer and if we hesitate to leave, they'll be on us and it will be too late."

"Alright..." Summer agreed, though uncertainly. Her friend really didn't look good now. Summer didn't want to risk Willow, like, dying or anything, but they had to get out of here. Glancing around at her camp, her home, again, Summer managed a wavering smile, trying to be brave for the rest of them. She had to believe they would live to see it again. They had to.

Willow saw the Gaeans slowly creeping toward them, "Gotta go! Gotta...Go!" Willow stuck out her hand. She needed her friends to grab her hand, or anything! She felt this crazy surge of adrenalin(not energy, though. just motivation), and Willow put her other hand onto Draco's side. They would get out. All of them.

Suddenly, one of the kids, rushed back. A Hermes. "They're gone," he said, tears streaming down his cheek. "Everyone but the Gaians. They must not have gotten the message about us." "Crap!" said Hugo, tearing at his hair with both arms, forgetting he was missing a hand. "We have to run before the hellhounds track us down." He quickly turned to a boy. He had beach blonde hair, and paper white skin. He looked about 16, but was freaking out. "Jerez," said Hugo quickly. I didn't want to have to ask you, but can you shadow-travel the rest of us out of here?" The boy shook his head nervously. "No," he said. "I've tried but I can't Hades doesn't give that gift to everyone." "Then we have to find our own way back." Miayla started to cry. She held onto Jacob for support. "How will we move?" he asked. My leg and my arm are completley dead, and no one else seems to look much better." "Then we get help," says Hugo. "I think I know a spy with the Gaians. He can help us."
(If anyone wants to play any of the survivors, go ahead, but they're supposed to be children of each of the Olympians. We can like have them quest back to the airport while you all rebuild. Sound good?)
