Chapter 42: What an anti-climax!

.

=================================

the next chapter, it's the final chapter of the crossover, I decided to keep it short since there wasn't much to write about.

So there's a massive timeskip between this chapter and the last one. Also, this chapter took me long to write, I had to re-read all the scenes that featured the lay out of the Brooklyn house and the battle, so this is it.

==================================

.

"Are the penguins ready?" I asked through the walkie talkie.

"The Penguins are ready." Felix answered, dead serious.

It sounded like penguins were a code name for a nuke or a secret weapon, but in our case it was just the penguins.

It was the twenty-one march and it was around four in the morning and when the sun would rise there were 2 different things that could happen.

Sadie and Carter would be on the boat of Ra and appear as a second sun, or a giant snake would appear and swallow the sun.

Yeah, there wasn't exactly a grey area.

But in the meantime, we had to defend the twenty-first nome against Vladimir' evil buddies.

The Brooklyn House was located on top of an empty warehouse, that was located next to East River on the east shore, which I could use to my advantage.

A metal stairway, around 15 feet wide, led up to the Brooklyn house which itself had five stories and a big roof with a griffin nest on top.

(Don't ask me why)

The warehouse was surrounded by a big industrial yard that had metal scrap piles all over the place.

The problem was, we had to defend the house from three sides and there was almost no cover.

The house had protective hieroglyphs, but those would not hold long against the other magicians.

Most of the trainees stayed on top of the house, from where they could fire spells, while the more advanced magicians had to defend the stairwell.

"There they are!" Cat yelled and pointed to the west side of the industrial yard, in the distance we saw at least a dozen magicians, followed by a lot of different kind of demons.

We saw six Uraei slithering through the air, and they were spitting fire through the air.

Great.

Cat and I had decided to take the front attack since we were the best fighters while Amos stayed back and casted spells to defend the house and deflected enemy spells, because honestly I suck at divine words. Cat had already mastered it, which was so unfair, but I could only blow things up with Ha-di and that was all I could.

Zia and Walt, who insisted on helping, took the flanks.

I had my swords out and waited for the enemies to approach us.

Some of the magicians had their staffs, which looked totally like a boomerang, pointed at us and fired a few flaming light bulbs but they deflected of the magic barrier.

I had briefly considered calling Cerberus but decided it was better not to mix up the Pantheons to much.

When the magicians were about 300 feet away from the house I heard Amos voice through the walkie talkie saying, "Penguins out."

From the rooftop a dozen of penguins appeared that jumped down without much trouble and waggle towards us, much to the surprise of the enemies who froze for a second, one of them looked terrified upon seeing the penguins.

I turned around and raised my swords towards the East River, channeling as much power from Chaos as I could. The river sprung to live and a blast of water flew up, I wielded it to swirl around the house. Slowly the river water broke free from the river and began making a wide circle around the industrial yard and it covered the entire house. The water went faster and I faster as I brought more water from the East river into the water flow I commanded it to form a wall around the house, the water reshaped itself till it formed a 13 feet high water barrier that circled around the house till it flew back into the river.

The penguins happily jumped into the water flow and began swimming through it, but everywhere they swam they left a trail of ice.

I concentrated on the water barrier and commanded it to freeze, which was really hard.

Luckily all kinds of hieroglyphs appeared on the water wall as the trainees spoke divine words such as, "Freeze."

"Calm."

"Stay."

The magicians looked with shock at this display of power, some of them pointed their wants and began to fire spells at the barrier while they ran towards it, trying to get through while it was still water.

A snake appeared next to me but Cat had already taken it out with her dagger.

"Keep going." She said.

'Come on Percy.' Hemera cheered.

With the help of the trainees and the penguins, the wall slowly turned into 3 feet thick ice barrier.

I lowered my hands and took the time to admire my work.

The entire house was sealed of, but a few magicians and demons managed to get inside before the barrier had solidified and ran towards me.

A demon that looked like a corpse but with a scissor as head ran towards me, head first trying to impale me with it.

I dodged it and was about to slash it with Riptide when it made a unexpected turn and almost slashed me first.

Cat had blocked it with her parried the head with her dagger and pushed him back.

From the corner of my eye, I saw one of the magicians firing spells at the Brooklyn house, Amos was occupied in a fight with two magicians while Zia and Walt had their hands full on five demons who got through.

"Cat, the house."

I said as I lunged forward at the demon in front of me.

Cat nodded and ran towards the stairwell where the Magician was about to break the defense spells of the house.

I fought the demon with ease and when I turned around I saw Cat was engaged in a fight with the magician, daggers against magic.

The Trainees tried to help her from above but I knew that they risk of missing and hitting her instead was to big. I ran towards her as the magician spoke a divine world that hit Cat and send her flying.

She flew through the air, and she was about to crash down into the East River when the dress she wore shifted and the silver wing patterns folded outward and pulled themselves of her dress and extended outward till she had two silver wings.

Her wings looked like that of an angle, except for the fact that it had no feathers but silver blades.

She smiled wickedly down on the poor magician as she dove towards him and kicked him in the chest, mid flight.

I wanted to cheer, but there was already more trouble on the way.

Zia had summoned a lion, but it was failing to fight with a flying demon who was attacking her from above and she couldn't use magic because two others demons kept her preoccupied.

Walt was using amulets like a madman, camels, flames, and rocks appeared from nowhere crushing the demons around him.

Amos's fight seems to go well, but he was getting tired of using so much magic.

I heard a loud crack and the entire ice wall shattered to pieces.

At Last ten magicians charged forward, wands out, and were followed by those fire spitting snakes.

"Retreat." Amos commanded, and we retreated back to the mansion.

From the roof the trainees were firing spells down, one magician slipped on the ice Felix created and fell head first which made me chuckle.

The penguins from Felix tried to stop the demons by sliding under their feet and creating an ice trail which they slipped on.

Once they slipped the penguins dove all at the poor demon and began picking it.

Trust me, dead by a penguin is not something you want on your gravestone.

A demon that looked like a giant chicken but with blood on his body ran past me, towards the house.

"Oh, no!" I yelled, and I threw FrostSilver at him, he dodged it proudly but as FrostSilver flew past him I commanded the sword to burst into flames.

'A combustible sword, that's cool.' Chaos said as the chicken demon was blasted to pieces.

'I know, that's the point.' I joked.

I stopped on the stairwell and made a quick decision, "We need to go inside, we can use the layout of the house as our advantage." And I entered the mansion big hall.

Khufu sat on top of the Toth statue and began screaming something while jumping up and down and pointing up.

Cat came inside while she cut a demon in two pieces.

"He is saying we should get on the rooftop."

"Why?" Cat shrugged.

"Since when do you have wings?" I asked.

"Only Egyptian aspect has it." Cat explained before we were interrupted by an explosion in the right wall.

A female magician and Uraei stepped through the hall, she smiled wickedly at us.

"You take the magician." I said before I charged at Uraei. The snake was breathing flames and burned a inactive Shatbi.

More explosions were from above me and I saw Cleo running through the halls, chasing a demon while screaming divine words like, "fart, trip!"

I jumped up at the snake and thought I could slash it with Riptide, but it was really fast, it dodged and made a dove towards my leg.

I tried to step away, then I tripped on the body of the snake and fell on my butt.

I tried to lit my entire body on fire and within a second I was engulfed in flames.

The snake retreated a few feet and hissed but did not die.

'They are the snakes of Ra. They are heat resistant.' Chaos said.

'Thank you for telling me now.' I said annoyed, and I lunged forward with Riptide and made a wild slash. The snake flew under my sword, but I had summoned FrostSilver while jumping forward and it pierced through the snake.

The snake hissed and bursted into flames.

I looked above me, and I saw Cat had dealt with the magician who knows lay unconscious on the floor and flew towards the rooftop where all the trainees were fighting.

I made my way towards the roof, passing Amos who was now fighting four magicians at a time, he was surrounded by a storm of red hieroglyphics.

"Need help?" I asked.

"No, help the others." Amos said and I nodded.

When I entered the rooftop I saw that our crocodile was fighting with a Uraei. The snake was spitting fire at him but each time he tried to hit him the crocodile dove underwater, after that he would propel himself upwards and try to catch the flying snake.

Cat was throwing her daggers at a magician who fought with a khopesh and used a combat avatar. I recognized a crocodile it in.

Freak our griffin was flying through the air, chasing a winged demon.

Alyssa and Zia were taking cover behind the airconditioning while a three magicians were firing spells at them.

I extended my hand outwards and a beam of flames spurted outwards and set the magicians on fire.

One of them spoke the divine words, "Burn, Protect."

He charged forward with a khopesh.

I poured water from the air and made it swirled around me.

The magician stepped back, "Who are you?"

"Percy Jackson!" I said, and I commanded the water to take him of the roof.

The water wrapped around the magician and threw him of the edge.

"Duck!" Zia shouted and I duck down.

A crocodile flew above my head, out of the water and landed on the veranda.

I turned around, and the magician with combat avatar held Cat by her wings and while he had kicked the crocodile out of the water.

More explosions followed and when I saw more walls were breaking inside the mansion.

Cat broke free from her grip and landed next to me.

"Percy, we are not going to make it."

She said exhausted and she gave the magician,I now decided to call croc, the finger.

Then a sudden beam of warmth hit all of us and everyone stopped moving, the Uraei looked at the Skyline of Brooklyn and we saw the sun rise, rays of light slipped through the skyscrapers and lit up the entire battlefield.

For one second my heart froze, did Sadie and Carter made it on time? Or was this just the normal sun?

"They failed!" Croc yelled.

"Shut up!" Nyx sneered.

"No look!" Walt said, and he pointed at the skyline.

A second bulb of light rose from New York Harbor and for a second there were two suns in the sky.

Then the second sun appeared to merge with the light of the first, and it faded.

"They made it!" Alyssa yelled.

"Ra?" A demon asked looking at the sun.

A boat came down from the sky and I recognized it as the boat of Ra.

A old man leaned over the railing and yelled, "Hel-lo-o-o-o! Zebras!"

'This is kind of a disappointment.' I told Chaos but she kept silent.

"Ra?" Croc asked with disbelieve.

Both sides looked up in amazement. "Ra!" one demon screamed. Then everyone took up the cry: "Ra?" "Ra!" "Ra!"

They sounded like the world's most terrified pep squad.

The uraei stopped spitting fire, much to Freak's Alysa's surprise who was trying to strangle one and immediately flew to the sun boat. They began circling the boat like an honor guard.

Most of the enemies scattered as the boat came down, but the slowest of the demons said, "Ra?" and looked up just as the sun boat landed on top of him with a satisfying crunch.

Carter and Sadie jumped into battle.

"Well, it was really fun, we need to go!" Cat said with a dangerous tone and before I could protest she touched me on the shoulder and we shadow traveled away.

We appeared in the Mcdonald's where we've had breakfast a few days ago and I saw Cat was still in her Egyptian aspect which was weird, since she was always Nyx when we were together.

"What was that?" I asked annoyed.

"They are going to be fine." Cat said.

"Yeah, duh, but why did you take me here? I wanted to see Sadie and Carter, maybe even see Ra." I protested.

"No, you can't." Cat said stern.

"Why not?" I asked, a bit angry, it was really an anticlimax for me.

"Chaos gave me, Aether and Hemera specific instructions in cast you would ever meet Ra." she said.

"What?"

'What the fuck Chaos?' I asked but she kept silent.

'She won't answer your question.' Cat said mentally.

"Okay, just explain it then, why can't I meet ra?"

"Before Chaos...went inside you, she gave a specific command to make sure you would never meet Ra."

"Why?"

Cat shrugged,"She told us it was important, and we should avoid it at all cost."

'Why Chaos?' I asked again but she was absent.

"What's wrong with Chaos?" I asked.

"She is...out." Cat said thoughtfully.

"Out?" I asked.

"Yup, she gave me the power to cause her to black out, hihi, black out." Cat said, and she smirked at her pun.

"What?"

"Yes, so she won't remember a thing of what happened and you should not ask her about it either. It might...cause some disturbance if you try."

After Cat said that she changed back to Nyx.

"Well, that was fun, see you later!" and with that she shadow traveled away, leaving me with a big mystery.

"Well, I'll take the subway."I said to no one in particular.

As I went through Manhattan an Iris Message appeared in front of me.

I quickly went into an abandoned alley and accepted it.

In front of me he and stood Luke looked grim.

"Oh, hi Luke."

===================================

So this was the crossover, in case you are wondering about the conversation between Luke and Percy, it will be just Percy telling Luke to help Kronos and Luke telling Percy about Atlas. So I hoped you liked this crossover, I certainly didn't.

Sorry but hey, now we can move on to Defying Fate.

Also for the next Kane crossover I make sure to make it longer/better.
