Wow! I can't believe my reviews have shot up by 9 in one day!

Shoutout for Wacko12! Tks!

Sry for the delay on the updates. I am on vacation and the hotel's Wi-fi isn't that good but I will try to update as soon as possible!

Ebon's POV

"We have news"

That's the best thing we've heard since Adara…disappeared. Zale was…desperate. Hearing that, he shot out of his chair andran towads the fountain. That's the first time we have seen him so lively since Adara was pulled into that portal.

"I sense a powerful, ancient being. He has a lot of command over the skies."
"Uranus." Zale instantly looked angry, he clenched his fist and motioned for Aetios to continue.
"I searched the skies, there was a newly built castle, a fort of some kind."
"Where?" he was getting impatient, tapping his feet.
"Well…Mount Othrys." Adara finished with a sigh.

It was familiar, Mount Othrys…

Atlas…Wait, Zoe is…Atlas' daughter.

"I thought he was pinned again. He still wants his revenge. But…who is taking the weight of the sky?" realisation dawned on me. Adara was holding the sky.

Zale was twirling the gray part of his hair. For holding the sky. His breathes got heavier.

"Let's go. To Mount Othrys. To Zoe" with that, he picked up his gear and ran towards the jet. We followed along, he was our leader, we do what he says.

Adara's POV

Annabeth snickered as she drew a whip, she slowly walked towards me. She raised her hand and brought it down hard.

Whack

Whack

Whack

It must have been laced with shadow fire for it stung like hell. I gritted my teeth to let the pain subside. It didn't. I could feel golden ichor drip down my back, I groaned in agony as another whip came down on my shoulder.

"Join me for a better course. Uranus is going to win, you know that too. Join us and abandon Chaos."

"Never!" I spat bitterly. The pain was excruciating and it felt like my whole body was on fire. Well, it literally was. Only shadow fire could harm us.

"You are a fool."

With that, she laid down another whip. This time, I screamed in torture.

"You better get ready. We need you to hold the sky." Annabeth slammed the door and locked it. I lay on the cold hard ground, with my bleeding back facing up.

Percy. Help

Percy's POV

As soon as I got on my jet, a wave of pain and terror washed through me. I could faintly hear Zoe screaming.

Percy. Help

I regained my composure. I need to get to Zoe. That gave me more determination and drive. The other Elements and I rushed towards Mount Othrys. The sky was mysty and foggy. Several venti tried to attack us but Aetios quickly took care of them.

"Hey, I've got something on my radar!" Petros announced as his jet flew near mine. We checked our radars too, there was something big blocking our way. 6 miles, 5 miles, 4 miles…

"BANG!" Petros' jet which was ahead hit something, he flew out of control, the engines on fire and onne wing missing. I swerved to avoid the jet that was tumbling our way. I looked through the cracked windshield, Petros was unconscious in his seat, golden ichor dripping down a wound on his head.

"Petros!" I yelled, watching his jet drop down, we were losing sight of him.

No, I can't lose another person. No.

Maybe I was crazy, but I ejected myself out of the jet, into the empty sky. I could almost hear the others trying to reach for me.

I can do this.

Focusing on my breathes, I visuallized myself flying. I started to gain control, I wasn't dropping, perspiration dripped down my forehead. I reached out my hands, reaching out for Petros. I felt a strong tug at my gut, just like the way I control water. More, just a little more.

"Ah!" I yelled and raised my hand, throwing Petros' jet up. I did it.

Petros' POV

I was 3 miles away from the object. Suddenly, my windshield was frozen. Like really, frozen, I couldn't see. I scrambled over the controls, trying to make a U-turn.

Come ON!

Out of the blue, something smashed against my jet, the force knocking my head. I ws starting to feel light headed, the jet turned upside- down, twirling at a high speed. I looked at the controls, my engines were damaged, one wing cut off. Trying to regain balance, I grabbed the stirring wheel. But I was too tired. My head started spinning and I felt golden ichor drip down my cheek. The last thing I saw was the jet speeding towards the others'.

Aetios' POV

Zale ejected himself out of the jet.

"NO!" I screamed, but it was too late, he was dropping towards Petros. I concentrated, trying to lift him up. Uranus had too much control over the sky. I felt helpless for the first time in my life. Ebon and I watched with tears as two of our best friends drop down into certain death.

First Zoe, then them. Why?

Just as I was about to eject myself too, Zale suddenly shot up, his eyes shut and his hand raised.

How?

The familiar green jet came flying up beside Percy, with the injured Petros I it. I quickly opened my sun roof and dropped Petros in it. Percy gave me a shocked smile as his jet came flying at him and he got in.

"How did you do that?" after stabilizing Petros, I asked breathlessly.
"Well, I figured if I was the Prince, I could do it, right?"

I smiled, now that Percy has powers over Uranus' domain, it would be easier to save Adara. I was wrong.

After five minutes, we headed towards the object. The only thing was, it wsn't there.

"Hey, do you have anything?" I asked, slowing my speed down. This was bad. If the thing or person isn't there, then where is it?

As if to answer my question, Nico's jet came whirring at me. I dodged just in time and his jet flew past me by a hairs' length. I turned around, Ebon's jet was empty, where is he?

"I got him!" Zale exclaimed, and I turned around to see Nico with a few cuts in Percy's co-pilot seat. I checked my radar, nothing again. It was somewhere, it was hiding. It could spring out anywhere.

Zale's POV

Nico was floating in the air and I caught him, placing him in my jet. He had a few cuts and bruises, but was fine otherwise.

"I got him!" I exclaimed, and could almost hear Thalia heave a sigh of relief.

"What was it?" I asked, preparing myself for the attack.
" It was an ice shard of some sort, came whacking at my windshield, breaking it. I ejected quickly before it sliced my engines off." Ebon was breathless as he sat on the co-pilot seat.

Ice, ice melts. Fire.

" I have an idea." I shouted, and ejected both of us out of the jet.
Nico was screaming but I quickly stabilised both of us. I pressed a button on my ring and turned invisible, Ebon did too, and we looked around, waiting for it to attack.

There was silence and the sky was empty. In a flash, something huge came flying at Thalia's plane. I quickly put both my hands out, imagining fire shooting out of my hands. I felt my hands get warm, hot, burning. A stream of red hot fire came out of my flesh, I was quite astonished. The fire instantly melted the ice, and at the corner, we could see a woman in white clothings. She had an icy cold stare as another blast of ice came shooting at us.

As I did before, the fire melted the ice and I flew towards the fleeing woman.

"STOP!" I bellowed, reaching my hands out, summoning the wind to stop her. She turned around, shocked with her mouth wide open, I recognized that face. Ice. Snow. It was Khione. Impossible, Jason said Piper killed her.

"What?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Your forgettful litte friend, daughter of Aphrodite. I am a goddess, she can't kill me. Luckily, Uranus gave me life, I will kill her myself, once and for all" she spat, giving me a cold icy smirk.

"Well, you will not. Because you can't if you're dead." Her face instantly darkened as I uncapped Riptide.
"Tell me where Zoe is kept." I demanded, holding Riptide inches from her neck.
"Ne…Never!" she whimpered. I could feel my hands burning up. I stared at her with fury.
"In… In Uranus' fort, a few miles from here. The last cell in the prison at the basement. Please… don't kill me." She muttered, her eyes filled with fear.

I lit Riptide on fire and drove it deep into her heart. She was with Uranus. She deserved it.

Petros' POV

I woke up in a daze, my head still throbbing. I recalled everything and sat up. I was in Aetios' jet, she was driving the jet through a violent storm.

"Hey" I said weakly and plopped myself on the co-pilot seat.
"Hey, Zale caught you in time. That person who attacked us was Khione, goddess of snow." I pictured my windshield being frozen. Figures.

I helped with the flying and navigating after a few squares of ambrosia and a cup of nectar.

"Let's do this!" I said, pumped up with nectar and energy. Aetios smiled and we headed towards Uranus' fort.

Leo's POV

I woke up as usual in pain. How many days has it been since I was trapped here, I don't know. But I was chained with Stygian iron metal and I was no god. I was as weak as a regular mortal. I sighed with despair. Grandpa Zeus got Jason, Piper, Hazel and Frank to check out the commotion on Mount Othrys and guess where that got us into.

My cell door creaked open and a masked man came in. The same one that has been toturing me since we arrived. He held a metal whip and brought it down hard. There was a scream and a loud 'Whack' when it connected. Four more whips later, the man walked out and shut the door. The same thing that goes on everyday.

I groaned in pain as I tried to think of better things like… someone is going to save us right? Oh face it, Leo Valdez, it's been so long, no one is going to save us. I sighed and tears welled up as I recalled seeing Jason forced to hold up the sky. He was threatened by our kidnappers or should I say Atlas to do so or Piper… shall die.

Everyday, the same thing goes on and on. Frank and Jason take turns holding the sky whilst I get whipped and tortured. Well, this day, it was different. After the torturer left, a woman was being dragged towards a cell. I could hear her screams as she was whipped. And another voice… it was so familiar.

"You fool."

No way. No way. Annabeth.

There was no mistaking that voice, it was Annabeth. That's why she refused to be a god, she was destroying Camp Half-Blood from the inside. Realisation dawned on me as my blood boiled.

That traitor. She will pay
