Zeke grinned, evilly. "Oh, a smart one!" he rejoiced, creating a small ice barrier, guarding himself from the explosions. "Face it, even the campers don't know how powerful I am," he said, shooting shards of ice out of the tip of his swords as if they were guns, "Even if you do try, you're going to die. Slowly. Painfully. I'll make sure of it." With another ice shard shot out, he sped it up to nearly supersonic speeds, propelled by both his power over ice and wind, though it flew over Andy's head and going straight through a pair of hell-hounds. "Ooh, I'm a terrible shot. Try again?"

Terry gripped onto Shade, pulling him back. He grabbed a hold of Summer. "Mortal world...um...I know a place! There's an empty and abandoned airfield near here. Grrr...." How was he going to show Shade? He dug in his pocket, pulling out a golden drachma. He turned and slammed a vicious roundhouse kick at the mouth of the fountain. It dislodged itself and a spray of water sputtered out. He threw the coin in and shouted frantically. "Airspace section 8! Manhattan! Grayson Lin!"
It wouldn't do t let everyone hear the name, but he was desperate. The image wavered a bit, then the form of a young man sorting files appeared. He turned, his black hair over his wire-rimmed glasses. Everyone could tell he was Asian, but his eyes were unmistakenably gray. "Terry? I haven't seen you since you went to camp! It's been years! Are you okay? What's been going on-what is that noise?"
"We're in the middle of a battle! Look, Grayson, our camp's are about to be destroyed, and we're desperately out time! We're going to transfer to your airspace." Terry's explanation was short and urgent, but Grayson seemed to understand. He was a son of Minerva just like Terry. At an older age, blending in the mortal world was a little bit easier. He also lived next to an abandoned field where no one visited. It would be hard for monsters to want to go there. He took care of Terry after Dodge had done the ditching thing. Then sent him off to camp when he had recovered.
"Sure! It looks bad there." He opened the door, letting the full concrete and grass show in the outside open range. "How are you going to get here?"
"That's what I'm going to worry about." Terry replied. He cut the connection before the soldiers of Gaea came to see what was going on. He grabbed Shade. "You saw it. The field with the broken down planes! Field number 8. Try it. Take the injured first."
He nodded to Summer. "Let's distract them while he does that."

Cy backed up as one camper slashed at him. The kid could barely stand. "Wait..." Then he blocked his slash with a rod of earth shooting up out of the ground. He sent the tendril swinging into the boy's stomach reflexively. His heart gave a painful squeeze when the boy was sent flying away. Did it always feel this wrong to kill someone? Cole- (Mwahahaha, I feel like having control again. Emily Williams Oh, and yeah, thats right as it is, the spelling.) He stared at Caroline as if she had sprouted another head. "Then why aren't they helping you?" His voice was nearly silent. And he had managed to calm himself a bit, gain some control. Andy- He laughed nervously. "You know...I always preferred to die peacefully, if not honorably. And...I don't really enjoy pain." Man, he was facing a monster, just his luck. He froze as the bullets of ice imbedded themselves behind him, earning yelps from the hellhounds. Andy shivered, the first time in a long time. He looked at Zeke, feeling like a gazelle cornered by a lion...but gazelles could still kick back somewhat! So that's what he was going to do. Andy was super nervous, holding his sword out in front of him. "I guess...you could try again if you wanted to." |

"Don't enjoy pain, huh?" Zeke grinned. "Then, I'd suggest you run." Snow dancing around his blade of ice, down toward the tip, it hardened suddenly, shooting out at Andy's feet. "Run," he repeated, "before my aim improves."

Andy- He dove to the side, his tone of voice warning him enough to know that an attack was coming. "Can't do that." He replied. "I don't ditch my friends." He saluted loyally, if not playfully. He sprang forward, wondering if it wasn't complete suicide to charge the boy. He slashed at him from the side, heating up the air around him slightly just to counter his coldness. He was weaker in terms of power, but technically, he had the advantage in power.

"As you wish." Drawing up his swords, Zeke blocked the attack, easily, whipping up a gale to divert the warm air and keep himself nice and chilled. Slashing with one sword and stabbing with another, Zeke then blew a wind directly at Andy. "Boreas isn't just god of ice and winter and stuff, y'know," he said in a mock-educated tone.

Shade looked doubtingly at Terry, then at the young man. He quickly memorized the name of the place and the image. He ran out, getting injured demigods to hang onto his arm before he started tranferring them.
Andy- He managed a small and ervous laugh, "Um, thatnks for the lesson?" He blocked his slash with his sword, trying to heat up and create a flame. He couldn't because he couldn't concentrate. This boy was scarier in close combat. He ducked his swing, but failed to avoid his quick stab. A cut opened at his shoulder, beginning to sting. In retaliation he swung out at Zeke's other side.

"Yes, you're quite welcome," Zeke rumbled. "Ready for another?" Caught by surprise, as he'd expected the boy to collapse or, at the very least, hesitate after his stab, Zeke froze his side, but the ice shattered and his crimson blood began to pour out of a wound. Freezing it, he glared at his opponent. Originally, he'd just have left him in agony. Now, he was angry. The ice of his swords seemed to come alive, slithering up Zeke's arm like snakes. His entire arm froze over and the air cooled even further. "Now," he said in a deep, menacing tone which would have made anyone think he was the one with Gaia and Andy was the helpless Camper, "you're going to die."

Terry nodded at Shade as he ran out. "Now let's protect the wounded until Shade gets them all out." He spun out his staff, not waiting for Summer. He leapt into battle, turning two emposae into monster dust.
Andy- The son of Hesphaestus swallowed hard, trying to get his legs to move, he had landed a hit on Zeke, but this boy was terrifying, and it looked like his injury was minor and did nothing but irritate him further. All the other Gaean soldiers had backed off. He stepped back, trying not to shiver at the freezing temperature. But he knew part of the tremor in his arms were from fear. He held himself in place, fighting the urge to run. He didn't reply, but raised his sword in defense.

Zeke smiled. So, he'd made the little boy scared. Maybe he'd cry to his mommy. With that happy thought, he shot a few shards of ice towards Andy. He wouldn't admit it but he was slowly getting weaker from his wound. He'd frozen it to stop the bleeding but it still hurt like hell. Deciding to make things a little more serious, Zeke froze the air behind Andy and to his sides, making a circle around both Andy and himself. "Ready?" he asked.

(When should this end, Emily?)
Andy- He snapped out of his daze, releasing the breath he had been holding. He stepped back as the shards flew out at him. One grazed his leg, and the other, his cheek. He deflected one in time before it impaled him. He winced, looking at Zeke. The ice hadn't given him an oppurtunity to retreat. And now, no one could help him.
"Am I ready?"
He let out a nervouse laugh.
"I didn't think you would care."

"I don't" Zeke replied, shooting another shard and using all his will to stay standing and look strong and unfazed by the gash in his side. Deciding to step things up, a little, he finally made use of his swords, going into close combat. Zeke slashed at Andy's neck, getting straight to the point - he wanted him dead - while he prepared to guard with his other sword if Andy somehow got a hit on him. After the previous slash he'd gotten, Zeke wasn't about to take any chances with this kid.

Andy- The boy stepped back and the ice glanced off his blade. He lowered is sword, his whole body shivering from coldness and pain. He stumbled away, evading his sword of ice. He wasn't fast enough, so he had to block the strike while taking a clumsy step sideways. The force slammed him into the ice wall surrounding them. He let out a small gasp. his vision was blurred before him. He leaned against the icy barrier, trying to support himself. This wall wasn't giving him much options, such as retreating. A heat began to emanate from his palms. The thick layer of ice began to melt slightly where his hand was. Slowly, but surely it was melting.

(Wow, I've missed a lot. Well, Krissie's supposed to kill Julie, because Rebecca made her sister a new account. I guess we can let it go for another page or so. And I just called Emmy, and she said I could rp Krissie.)
"Th-they are," Caroline objected, but he had a point. "Well, they have their own problems up in Olympus, so they're busy there," she protested. Didn't they? Or were they just sitting up there, watching their children fight? A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes, for the first time since this had all started. Was he right to doubt the gods? Why weren't they helping? "I...I don't know..."
Summer nodded, drawing her knife, darting forward to slash at some hellhounds. As the celestial bronze touched them, they went poof in golden dust. But more and more monsters kept coming.
Krissie~
There wasn't much for the traitor to do anymore. All around her, campers and monsters alike were falling, not that she really cared. The monsters were all expendable, they didn't matter. Soon, the battle would be over, she could sense it. And, of course, Gaea would win this one. Not like there was going to be any more battles after this.
The infirmary caught her eye, and Krissie smirked at the camps' last pathetic attempt to save themselves. Didn't they understand it was useless? At the best, there would only be a few survivors. Yes, Krissie was going to make sure of that.
An eerie smile lit up her face as Krissie made out the sound of a twig cracking in the midst of all the yelling. Oh, someone was trying to sneak up on her? This had better not waste my time by putting up a poor fight.
Spinning around, easily catching the strike on the tip if her blade, the daughter of Poseidon giggled again, like a child playing merrily. No, given her troubling past, Krissie had never gotten the chance to enjoy the peace. She would just have to settle for the excitement in fighting.
Her attacker was a tall, thin girl, another child of Mars, seeming to be the same age as herself. The girl's face was scrunched up with anger. "You killed my brother! You'll pay for that!" the girl declared lamely. Krissie could see the glimmer of fear under all of that fake courage, not exactly what was expected from a daughter of Mars.
Krissie resisted the urge to laugh. This weakling was trying to compare herself to Krissie? What a joke. Like she could stand any chance.
Letting out a cry, the girl charged, swinging her sword at Krissie, hard. Of course, adjectives have different meanings to everyone. Gracefully, the daughter of Poseidon knocked her opponent's blade aside with a flick of her wrist, then darted forward. While the girl was still stunned at Krissie's power, the daughter of Poseidon pressed the tip of her blade into the girl's chest, ending the battle.
Smirking, smoothly sliding her sword out of her victim, Krissie crossed her arms across her chest, crimson fluid dripped from her blade, waiting for someone else to appear.
(JULIE, GET OVER HERE! xD)

Zeke didn't take notice to his opponent's efforts to escape. Instead, he took a short break to rest and gather the rest of his energy. Otherwise, he'd just collapse and Andy would have no trouble with the rest. He wouldn't let the boy escape, though. No, he'd just let him waste his energy futilely trying to escape.

Cole- "You...don't know?" He seemed just as puzzled as her, almost dropping his sword. "Yeah, you don't know..." He let out a nervouse laugh. "That's what I thought. You were fighting for a pointless cause. So my brother died for nothing."
Andy- It was getting harder to summon his energy. The heat was slowl stopping, and the ice wasn't melting. Why wasn't it melting? It was supposed to... He couldn't find the strength to support himsefl anymore, and slid down against the wall, sitting and staring up fearfully at Zeke.

"Okay, so I might not have been fighting for the gods, but I was fighting for my friends," Caroline declared, "and my home." Well, it was her new home, since Gaea's soldiers had taken over their regular home.
"Your brother didn't die for nothing." Her voice was softer, more gentle. "He died fighting for what he thought was right." Caroline frowned, realizing she had just complete contradicted what she had just said about Gaea being evil. "I..." Now she was really confused.

(This is really awkward....I hate having to join in....If the battle is already over,though, I swear I will break down. If that's the case, ignore this post.)
A simple shadow in the sky, Willow was "supervising" the battle. Every once in a while she would turn human and take out a monster, but she was mostly in the sky watching the emotional and physical battle. They needed help from a god. One that could come down soon. Or up. Willow knew her father would help her. She would just sneak in and get help from him.
Or she would wait. Wait for someone to win, then go to her father and get his help then. It might be better to go with more people. Willow sent out a mental beam, hoping that her allies would know what it meant, and attempt to answer.

Zeke grinned, slowly stepping forward for both dramatic effect and because he was in pain. "Ready to visit Hades?" he asked, as if it were a normal, every day question. Ice slowly began to form at Zeke's feet and crawl toward a trembling Andy. The air was practically ice from the cold Zeke was putting off. But his powers wavered. They had been getting weaker and weaker since Andy had wounded him. Now, the air fluctuated between normal temperatures and ones you might expect to find if you were a penguin.

(....Was that a yes? Me is super tired...)
Willow materialized on the ground, a longsword quickly appearing in her hand as she took down a Hellhound. Dark shadows were circling under her eyes as she traced the reply to the source.
(Sorry for the short post, getting my butt kicked off.)
