Jacob choked up and squirmed away. He swore under his breath as he reached for his sword. He tried pointing it at Keith, but it was so shakey that he couldn't hold it up. He looked up at him in horror realising his own brother would kill him.

Cy smirked. What was this? A little kid was telling him to let go of the son of Thanatos. "What's this? Someone actually cares for you. You, the loner. You, the wandering rogue Colton. Don't tell me you actually took a liking in this kid? Should I kill him in front of you." He tightened the tendril further, glad at seeing the other boy's pain. It was revenge for when Colton had hurt him with his sword. Suddenly, he hesitated, stumbling back. The tendril didn't loosen, but his attention was somewhere else. Ace was fighting him again. Cy pushed the boy away and glared at Colton. He took his anger out on the boy, tightening the earth again.

Keith- He stared down at the wounded Jacob. The words kept ringing through his mind. Brother...Brother...Brother...Then threw his sword down. "Forget it." He bent down next to Jacob, tears stinging his eyes. "I can't. I never could. Gaea's gonna kill me now." A look of defiance crossed his gaze. "But I'm going to help you before that happens."  |

Colton felt the tendril tighten on his broken rib. He cried out another time, this time in helplessness. Fresh pain washed over him in a nauseating wave, and he nearly passed out. Steven's voice shocked him awake, though.
Andrew the ghost had caught the boy running out of the infirmary. "Wait! You'll only get hurt!" The ghost ran after him, and saw Colton hanging there limply. "Master!" Dismayed the ghost began to flicker from transparent to white in an upset mood.
Colton ignored both of them, or tried to. He forced some words out of his mouth, trying to think clearly and reply to Cy properly. "No... I don't know that kid. Let me down and fight me fairly! Don't take you anger from Ace out on others. You're just to weak to fight me off. Admit it." He was trying to provoke the sson of Gaea. He was trying to buy some time for Steven to run. He feared exactly what Cy had said. The son of Gaea would kill the kid. No matter what, don't kill him. Not him. Colton threw him a commanding look at the son of Nyx to run. Anywhere but here. Cy was the strongest out of all the Gaean soldiers. Steven stood no chance. Colton didn't know why he was helping him again, but he found that he cared.
The tendril tightened more, and another rib snapped. Colton bit into his sleeve to muffle his cry of agony. The iron taste of blood touched his tongue. He had to see this through. He had to see this through. He had to bear the pain...

Caroline blocked the blow with her sword, but the force of it caused her to stumble backwards a little. Spotting the thorns, she hurriedly knocked them away with her blade, cutting some in half, but the stupid little things kept coming. Having no choice, a globe of water appeared around her and made it solidify, the thorns bouncing off.
"Leave him alone!" Summer spun around, eyes narrowed in confusion until she saw Colton being squeezed to death by Cy. Summer sprinted up next to the boy who had cried out earlier, "Leave him alone!", drawing her knife. Without thinking, Summer dashed forward and aimed a blow at Cy, anything to distract him. "Let Colton go! Haven't you tortured him enough?"

Cole grew only more aggravated by the water.
"You're so cocky, aren't you? Just because you're a Big Three kid, you think that you'll win?"
Hatred was boiling inside of him, taking a deep root. His head pounded with memories of him and his twin laughing, training, running, sometimes fighting. It was all gone. Gone. His stabbed his sword as hard as he could at the globe of water. It was solid, and the impact sent a vibration into his hands. Numb, he dropped his sword at the pain. At least he had managed to make a small crack along the water. Thorns weaved themselves in a sharp, dancing pattern to protect him as he glared at Caroline.

"Goldilocks has come to save the big bad wolf." Cy sang from behind his white clay mask. He deflected her blade easily as a pillar of earth formed to block her attack. Then it melted, trying to wrap around her hand and solidify. Cy looked at Colton with some bit of bemusement. "Sadly, no. He has to die. So if you come any closer to me, I won't mind completely crushing his ribs." He tightened the tendrils even further possibly to their limit, tryi ng to get a response from Colton. "Now, don't faint on me, tough boy. You seem to have more allies that I thought you would."

Caroline wavered slightly as a crack appeared on the surface, and her eyes shone with sadness as she realized that Cole was determined to kill her. Caroline didn't really like killing people, but would if she had to. And it seemed like only one of them could get out of this battle alive. At the thought, her sea green eyes hardened, and she spat back, "No, I'll win because I'm more experienced." At least she hoped that was true. Who knows what Gaea taught these people?

"What...damn it."
Summer hurriedly tried to shake the earth off. She shot Cy a cold blue glare. "No, stop it! You'll kill him!" It slipped out before she realized that was what Cy had just said. "Why are you so determined to kill Colton anyways?" Summer said desperately, trying to stall for more time.

Hard to breathe...really hard to... Colton saw spots dancing before his eyes, his vision was tinged with momentary flashed of red. Weakened and barely able to move, the boy managed to raise one hand. "You...need to stop enjoying pain. Give control...back to...Ace!" He shot a jet black shadow straight at the masked boy's head. It turned into a sharp dagger of obsidian. It raced through the air, and Colton felt the tendril tighten further. He felt his broken ribs constrict. White hot fire enveloped him, emanating from his broken bones. "Ghhaaaah!!" Colton couldn't breathe. It hurt...

Steven saw Colton's expression, signaling to run, but his legs couldn't move. His eyes were locked on the injured form of his friend. He didn't even notice shadows curling off his fingers. He almost dared to speak the words again. Finally, his legs had feeling in them again, and he ran-but not back to the infirmary. Not towards Cy, but further into battle. His cockiness got to him. He believed he could save someone else. But not Colton.

It hurt to talk, especially now. But the moment he saw Steven run off, not to the infirmary. Fear struck a chord in him, and he shouted this time. "Andrew!" It was a command, and the ghost knew it. The shout made a flame bite at his lungs. It had worked, though.
Andrew ran off after the boy. He spotted Steven and quickly knocked aside a hellhound with his sword. "Be careful, Steven." He warned. "You have to go back to the infirmary!" He was going to grab the boy's hand and drag him away, but more monsters closed in.

Cole glared at her. "You're not going to win. Not if I can help it. Even if I die, I'll find a way. I'm going to prove that my brother didn't die in vain!" He stood up, hand shaking. Twisted wrist, but it was alright. He could still hold his sword and fight. He grabbed the weapon from the floor and thorns shot out in a large wave at Carokine, enveloping the sphere of water and tried to crack it with the sharp thorns.

Steven ignored Andrew and kept running. But he suddenly stopped when he saw the monsters. He put p his sword in defense and wondered what would happen next. "Andrew, what am I going to do." He whispered, "I don't want to go back, I'm strong enough."

(Mwahahaha, hidden plot about to unfold!)
"It's simple. He just needs to." Cy hissed at Summer. He didn't know why, but he needed this kid dead. Dead. A shadow shot out of nowhere, turning into a dark rock that nearly collided with his mask. He knocked it out of the way with a tendril and snarled at Colton who had sent it. He was about to tighten it once and for all and crush the boy, but something happened. A pounding sensation made him stumble back. Vibrations ran painfully through his head. His mask fell, and his full face looked shocked. His blue eyes flickered in conflict. Almost like Shade's did. But it wasn't one person fighting. It was two.
"Stop it..." The voice was gentler, more Ace. Not as hard as Cy's. "Please remember.."
"I don't want to! I'm no one!" Cy again.
"You really think so? Gaea needs a dead soul to replace me. You don't remember your previous life? You're nothing but a cleared slate that doesn't remember anything. And you took my spot by pushing me aside. Don't you remember who you really are?"
"Don't...want to!" Cy couldn't concentrate, and the tendril around Colton loosened, dropping the boy from the air.
The kid looked at Summer with spring green eyes. A relieved smile spread across his face. "Only for a while...I think this is mine again..." He flexed his fingers, testing then out. He laughed gently, and earthen tendrils spread up around him, weaving in celebration. "Nice..." He looked at Summer with that wry smile. "You know, blue just isn't my color."

Colton slipped out of the grip of the tendril. He could breathe again. Air rushed back into his lungs, but was knocked back out of him when he hit the ground. Gasping, he felt liquid fire run throughout his chest. Two ribs were gone. And they were poking at his lungs, keeping them from functioning properly. It hurt. He rolled over, shaking at the pain. Why did Cy drop him?
Through his hazy vision, he spotted Cy without his mask. It was the first time, and he noticed the kid had a gentler and more tired looking face than he had ever expected. It was odd, seeing his face. He looked so nice. But that wasn't him now, because he had green eyes...what was going on? He managed a small groan, trying to force himself to sit up, but failed.
Andrew furrowed his ghostly white brows at Steven. "No, you can't. You have to go back, you'll get hurt! Master will kill me!" Unless Colton died too. That thought made the son of Apollo spirit nervous. He looked back at where Colton had been, then back at Steven. He had to fight off these monsters first. He slashed aside two hellhounds. "Kid, protect my back. Just a moment. One moment. I need to take care of these monsters." He knocked aside one, then slashed at one hellhound. He needed to count on Steven, just for a moment. He didn't like the thought of putting him in danger. "Sorry, master. Just for now..." He muttered to himself, blocking another attack from an enemy demigod.

Steven still refused Andrew's request to go back. But, when Andrew told him to cover him, he smiled. "Finally some action." He muttered to himself. He brought up his sword once again, and hacked at a demigod coming behind the ghost.
(Isn't Andrew a ghost? Things go through ghosts, pr is there something special about him?)

(So damn confused. And I'm a friggin' admin.)
It took Katie a few moments to process what was going on, and by the time she ran out of the Aphrodite/Venus Cabin, her siblings trailing behind, in a screaming panic, the head counselor already saw a few bodies littering the ground. "What the..." she muttered.
Someone behind her that sounded like Ashleigh screamed, "We're all gonna die!" That was followed by another person yelling at Katie's half sister to shut the hell up, and a third person screaming. Katie whirled around angrily. "All of you be quiet," she snapped, charmspeaking her siblings into shutting up. "Alright, it's not that I don't think you can take care of yourselves...well, okay, I don't think you can take care of yourselves," Katie amended, "but split off into groups of three and stay like that!"
Katie watched her cabin start calling dibs on the best fighters in the Aphrodite/Venus Cabin (which weren't many of them) and sighed in exasperation. Meanwhile, the battle was raging behind them, and Katie was stuck here with her less than perfect siblings trying their best to organize themselves. Moments later, the small groups were in the midst of the battle.
"Finally," Katie muttered to herself, before charging the nearest traitorous demigod.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmy jerked her head up in confusion from the dreary darkness of her cabin when she heard shouts and then the clanging of swords. She disappeared into the nearest shadow, then reappeared in the midst of a screaming chaos. Small battles were forming all around her, and other people were going on a rampaging massacre. Emmy couldn't tell if they were enemy demigods, or if they were her allies. A bad thing. She whirled around, trying to take everything in and not charge into battle without thinking.
Okay. Groups of pink-clad demigoddesses were fending off enemies by the Aphrodite and Hermes cabins okay, though the Dionysus Cabin was in flames and being doused by a few panicking satyrs. The scene was a little strange, but Emmy moved on. She narrowed her eyes when she saw a small, drama-filled looking scene between Cy, Summer, and some other demigods she couldn't figure out the names of at the moment. Man was she behind on recent news...
The rest of the mini battles looked about average. Sighing in annoyence, she summoned a few skeletal warriors that quickly attacked the nearest enemy demigods, and Emmy went after (whoever feels the need to fill this spot, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell is going on and who's on who's side...) |

"Cy!" Terra had a few minor scratches, and had killed a few demigods that her guilt would allow. Now that she saw the sin of
Gaea, she realized his eyes were spring green. They were supposed to be cyan blue. Where he had gotten his name. What had happened? "What did...who are you!?" She sprang forth at the boy that could be no other than Ace, stabbing a dagger at him.

(Lol, here.

Ace blinked his green eyes a few times, ignoring Cy who was trapped inside, struggling to regain control. He turned as a random girl he didn't know attack him. He grabbed her wrist right before he blade struck. He kept a tight grip on her wrist. Inside of him, Cy seemed to stop for a moment. Ah, so this was the girl that he...rather liked. He didn't have emotions, but it could be called liking someone. She felt the same. He could tell from looking into her lavender eyes. His spring green eyes softened, and his voice was quiet. "You know, if you hurt me, you hurt him. Why don't you leave us both alone so he can properly remember who he was?"
