Andy- The boy was having trouble seeing. Zeke's words made him shiver more. "N-not yet..." Fear sent adrenaline coursing through his veins, and the heat around him exploded outward in a wave, washing against the ice. It didn't melt it, but it was weak enough that when the son of Hesphaestus threw himself against it, it shattered. Andy slid across the grass, splintering ice crashing out around him and giving him fome small cuts. He coughed and sat up slowly, feeling so, so dizzy. His hand found his sword, and he pointed the tip at Zeke, though it wavered a considerable amount.

(Yes if you mean is the battle still happening then, yeah... otherwise... I dunno... *is confused and tired from a long day*)
Zeke tried to laugh but all that came was a cough. He didn't bother to make the ice evaporate, he was too exhausted. Instead, he used a technique which was much easier on his powers. First and foremost, hi father was god of the North Wind, not winter. So, manipulating the air came much easier to Zeke. Taking a step back, he blew a mini cyclone at his enemy. "Too bad, I hear it's warm down there this time of year."

Willow turned into a shadow right as an arrow whizzed through her She chuckled to herself, "I can't believe they thought that would work." She re-materialized, sword to sword with a new demigod, who actually looked fairly surprised at his current situation. But pressed on. This annoyed Willow, who found that this demigod was actually quite strong, and she would have a little bit of a tough time taking him down. With her hands shaking, Willow attempted to break the contact and attack, but this demigod foresaw, and pushed even harder. Willow cursed to herself, before reaching out with one shaking hand and touching the boy's sword, making it colder and colder. Soon, the demigod was forced to let go, rubbing his hands for warmth, and Willow knocked him out with the hilt of her blade, progressing ever so slowly across the battlefield, looking for someone who was willing to leave the battle for a few instants.

Terry was rounding up wounded campers, defending the small group while Shade took turns disappearing with them. He couldn't shadow travel everyone for so long, and Terry had to find another way of transportation.
Andy cuz I feel like playing him to annoy Shade- He blocked the wind as best he could, crossing his arms in front of him as it battered him back to the ground. When it hit, it drove the breath out of him for just a moment.
"Agh!" He rolled out of the brunt of the cyclone, breathing hard and trying to struggle to his feet. Fatigue washed over him, and he realized he had been protecting himself with his powers, small flames flickered up his arms. But it was taking his energy away.

(.... *Glares at Terry*)
Shade grabbed a hold of as many kids as possible. After shadow-travelling back, he realized that Caroline wasn't anywhere in his sight, which terrified him.
He closed his eyes, searching for the energy he knew was the person so important to him. Caroline! He opened his hazel eyes, power surging as he shadow traveled to her, imagining her face, her sea green eyes, her streaming blonde hair.
Shade landed in the clearing where the forest was, stumbling. He spotted the daughter of Neptune and some enemy demigod. Angry, he charged forward, yelling, "Get away from her!" And he swung his sword at the boy's back.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cole- He stared at her in confusion, shifting his sword in his hand, wondering whether or not to just attack her now and get it over with. He had lost anyway, so it didn't matter. He was going to die eventually, why not follow after his brother now?
Cole turned at someone else's voice, recognizing Shade. The son of Pluto. The boyfriend to the girl who killed his brother. The boy that had helped his brother die. How would you like it if I killed someone important to you? The thought ran selfishly through his mind for just a moment, and he glanced at Caroline. He ducked Shade's swing and slashed out at his back.

(LOL) Caroline glance flickered as she noticed Cole's sword hand twitching, and her own hand tightened around her weapon. She felt a slight twinge of disappointment. Had the talk all been for nothing? She had been sure she could convince at least one person to switch to their side. Out of nowhere, Shade suddenly appeared and attacked the boy. "Shade, stay away! I can handle him!" Caroline didn't want to get him involved and possibly hurt, and didn't want him to think that she couldn't protect herself, though it was nice that someone cared about her so much. But it was her fight! She should be the one to end it, and...Caroline suddenly realized that she couldn't kill Cole. Not now, after she realized that he was just a confused demigod who had fallen under Gaea's spell. Maybe it was better for Shade to kill him.
Eventually, Shade was going to tire out and be unable to shadow-travel for a while. What would they do then? It was impossible to fight their way out, that was evident. Suddenly, a grin lit up Summer's face. Shade wasn't the only child of Pluto/Hades! Whirling around, she desperately searched for Willow, hoping her friend was still alive.

Zeke slowly walked towards his opponent. His swords had survived with him but had been knocked out of his hands at some point and were on the other side of the area once closed off by ice. He gathered the rest of his power and used the winds to blow them to him. He caught one, the other impaling itself in the ground, inches from Andy. With a flick of the wrist, he spun the blade in a vertical circle, waiting for the enemy to make one wrong move, before he ended it.

Willow sent out a mental scan of the area, and found that Summer was looking for her. A sly grin forced itself onto Willow's weary face as she attempted to find Summer's general area. Jackpot! Willow quickly evaporated and appeared next to Summer. Well, about thirty feet away, but still, Willow could sorta see Summer! Will dodged around a Demigod fighting another one, and one was freezed. Huh. Odd powers. She soon found herself ten feet away from Summer, and she raised her voice only a little to surprise Summer, "Looking for someone?"

Summer flinched, nearly jumping. Willow's voice had scared the crap out of her, certainly surprising her. The daughter of Zeus forced on a smile and darted to her friend. "Willow." Her voice was full of relief. "We're going to retreat to the Mortal World. This is a battle we can't win." Summer glanced around. There had been no need to tell her that; it was pretty obvious. "We need your help to shadow-travel the campers there. Shade will eventually tire out."

(Might be having second thoughts on her death. She either des of exhaustion or just taps into her crazy side and becomes something like a demon. I love torturing my characters.) A challenge? Anytime! A wry grin spread across Willow's face, "Sounds like fun." Far off in the distance, Draco was having a one on two battle against a few Hellhounds. It was weird, because Willow kept thinking one of the Hellhounds were Draco, when he was really the Drakon. Willow whistled gently, and Draco threw off the Hellhounds, quickly rumping toward Willow and Summer, "Draco can carry at least five, if not, more." Willow looked at Summer for a reply.

Shade turned around, blocking the boy's attack with his flaming sword. Before he could swing out again, Caroline's voice distracted him. He didn't step back fast enough as Cole swung again. The son of Demeter's blade caught his arm, sending him sinning backwards. He gripped onto the open wound, warm blood running over his fingers. Shade glared at Cole, his hazel eyes flashing angrily. He turned back, hesitating and looking at Caroline who had told him to stop. /////////////////////////// Cole- After he managed to score a hit on Shade, emotions welled up inside him. He had actually came out victorious over a child of the Big Three. He could probably get revenge for his brother. He gazed at Caroline a bit warily. How would you like it if I killed someone important to you?Then his gaze focused on Shade, who was pausing. It hurts, how would you like to experience that pain?///////////////////////////// Andy- He took a deep, shuttering breath. He couldn't hel but flinch as one of his swords imbedded itself near him, icy blade gleaming. Andy took a moment to regain his concentration as Zeke attacked. He managed to block his blade, arms shaking. The wind around Zeke was still cold as ever, and making it quite difficult to fight. With some effort, he swung his blade back in retaliation to try and end their clash so that he could hurry up and rest.

Damn it. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to yell at him while fighting. Caroline's eyes narrowed in anger at Cole, and partially herself, and charged at the son of Demeter, swinging out at him, all sympathy for him gone. "It's alright, I'll meet you back at camp!" Caroline insisted to Shade, "Don't worry."
Summer grinned. "I knew you were up to it. Thank you." Hopefully she would see Willow again after the fight. With a last glance, Summer disappeared into the crowd, picking off more monsters.

Willow chuckled darkly, already looking for more campers as she replied, "May Hades be with you." That was generally bad luck, but since Willow was a daughter of Hades, it could be nice. Willow turned around, her eyes darkening into fully black shades. She could control her evil more powerful self now, and it was useful when she need to use a lot of power. Willow yelled at a few campers, scaring them into coming to her. Willow grabbed their hands, and in an instant they were gone, and in another, Draco followed with about eight campers on his back. They were back soon, Willow looking a little tired, but not showing it yet.

Zeke blocked Andy's attack, but only barely. Stepping back, the ice on his arms melting away, he lost footing and stumbled over the corpse of an unfortunate demigod.

Andy- He stumbled after landing the hit. He couldn't believe the attack had been successful. Zeke seemed so strong. Was it a trap? Or maybe he was just faking his strength. Either way, just to be sure, he rolled away from the son of Boreas. Leaving behind two smokeing bombs, he retreated a considerable amount. Almost as if having perfect timing, they exploded in Greek fire.

Long ago, Zeke had found he was a little scary to most people, so he tried his best to never use the full extent of his powers. Call it his little gift to the world - give his victims a fighting chance. But Zeke had been growing annoyed with this kid for a while. First, he thought he could actually win against Zeke. Then, he landed a blow on him. Now, the Greek fire was the final straw.
As the bombs exploded, Zeke froze the smoke, using all the water he could find in the surrounding air. Shattering it into small shards of frozen ash, Zeke emerged with two new ice swords, clear and hard as diamond, and his eyes were frozen over with ice. "I really don't like fire," he said, shooting shards of ice from the tips of his swords, the blades reforming with new ice using the water from the surrounding air.

Willow was on her way for another group of demigods when the air temperature decreased. She smiled, finally the air was nice! Willow was distracted by this, so she didn't notice when someone sneaked up behind her. And butted her back hardly with a hilt. Willow fell to her knees, trying to turn around to see the demigod. She saw a figure, but that was all. Willow simply laughed insanely.
Her eyes were dark before, but now they were like chasms, pits of darkness. Her hair oddly seemed to turn a shade darker, and as quickly as she could, grabbed the demigod's hand, shadow traveled to midair, dropped him, and called Draco, landing painfully, but much more lucky then her little friend, "Draco, why is your back so uncomfortable?" Blood was streaming down her calf, her landing was terrible.
Willow awkwardly jumped down, making her way toward a "clique" of demigods fighting what looked like monsters, or just really ugly demigods. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference. Limping over, Willow pushed on a tattoo on her neck, and it shimmered and bulged out of her skin, dropping down in her hands as a sword. Willow shook her head, then swung he sword at a monster/demigod, severing its head, and it quickly exploded into dust.
Good. No blood.

Andy- He stumbled back, gazing in wonder as the fire bloomed out. He knew he shouldn't have gotten his hopes up. His heart sank as Zeke appeared, seemingly reenergized because he had possibly ticked him off. Andy coughed, choking on the dirt particles thrown in the air by the bombs. He scrambled back. Before he could struggle to his feet, the ice shards zipped past him in a blur. One imbedded itself into his ankle, making him gasp in pain.
"I-I can tell." he commented, yanking out the ice, blood flowing from the wound, making in increasingly harder to get up.

Zeke dissolved the rest of the ice around him that he wasn't using and formed a mist around him, taking a few steps closer to Andy. "This was fun, we should really try this again, sometime," he said, sarcastically, forming a shard of ice from the mist, shooting it at the kid's face, but melting it a moment before impact to where he only got splashed with water, though it was quite cold. He was giving the kid a chance to run. He liked him. He reminded Zeke much of himself, doing it all for the fun. He couldn't kill him. It would be like killing himself in Zeke's eyes. No, he'd let him go, this time. But if he ever decided to come back, there would only be one coming out of the fight.

Andy- The boy raised his sword to deflect the ice blade, but found himself splashed over with cold water. He looked up at Zeke, somewhat gratefully. Then he staggered to his feet, feeling himself unstable for a moment. He stared at Zeke, almost disbelievingly. Then he turned and ran, running into the forest, wondering just what the heck had happened.
