But the answer to the question of the god of wine came when a being came out of the steam that looked like a kind of giant made of fire because of its 3 meters in height, or that he was covered by fire if the soft silhouette of ancient Greek armor and the features of a bearded face in the fire meant anything, as more monsters came out of the Doors of Death behind him.
"No..." said the two gods, Dionysus with a choked voice and Hestia in a whisper as she recognized the being covered with fire, while their faces turned pale
"Do it, while I fight Hyperion and keep him away from the chains" said the oldest sea-green eyes demigod, being the only one who was not surprised to see the Titan...
—|—|—|—|—|—
Various emotions overwhelmed the demigods, satyrs, nymphs or the trainer of the children of the gods, as well as the semi-immortal maidens that make up the hunters of Artemis.
Emotions that ranged from surprise, shock, disbelief, fear, cowardice, apprehension and/or denial, which could be seen reflected in their faces as each of them was able to feel the palpable power of the lord of the East, the Titan of light. Power that in no way could anyone deny feeling, not only because of the sensation of heaviness that everyone felt the closer the Titan got, but also because of the drastic increase in temperature.
"Hyperion..." Zoë couldn't help but say the name of Helios' father, but her voice didn't come out in a whisper and could be heard by several half-bloods, hunters, satyrians, monsters, and the Titan himself who turned his head towards her.
But then, to Nightshade's and others' surprise, Hyperion let out a thunderous laugh and the flames seemed to stir to the rhythm of his laughter.
"The traitorous brat of Atlas... I'm so glad to see you... I was disappointed to hear that your death was peace-"
But Gaia's son was interrupted when a blob that was blurred to those who could see it, almost crashed into his head if not for the fact that he raised his hands to block what turned out to be a large axe that was melting from contact with the Titan's flames, only for two large geysers of water to emerge in front of him, whose water immediately hit him to push him back towards the Doors of Death and the monsters behind him, all while more steam covered the place.
But then the lord of the East was thrown to the side by the same water that emerged from the geysers while he shouted in fury "JACKSOOON!"
Many were confused by the scream, thinking that Sally Jackson's son was responsible for launching the titan, causing some to wonder how the Titan knew the name of Poseidon's young son, but then somehow the voice of the unknown son of Poseidon echoed throughout the place, as he shot towards the titan "Now!"
"I'll tear you to pieces! Not even the curse of Achilles would be able to save you from my wrath, Jackson!" exclaimed the titan after rising from the ground and throwing large balls of fire at the adult demigod, preventing him from reaching the son of Gaia, while using a trident, because he had to move away and dodge several of them or blocked them with a shield or the trident.
But every clash of every fireball resounded with a strong impact
"Blah, blah, blah, 'I'm going to kill you', 'I'm a titan and you're just an insignificant mortal', 'You can't defeat an immortal', Don't you ever get tired of saying the same thing over and over again, bastards?!" said the son of Poseidon with clear mockery in his voice "Can't you think of something original?!... At least if you spend so much time in the Pit, use it wisely and try to create better phrases or threats, or are you not even capable of doing those?!"
And his words managed to infuriate the son of Gaia who summoned a great sword that fit his size with which he began to attack the demigod.
But the beginning of their confrontation managed to capture the attention of several campers and hunters, because of how he spoke to the titan that in another situation might have caused laughter, but not now while facing the lord of the East at the same time that he avoided attacks thrown at him by the monsters that came out of the gates like arrows and spears, all while moving at high speed just like the Titan.
"SHOOT THE MONSTERS!" exclaimed Chiron so that his students would stop paying attention to the fight between the demigod and the titan so that the number of monsters escaping from Tartarus would not continue to grow, but the old centaur was also surprised because he hadn't seen any demigod fight like this in quite a few centuries.
Although for the peace of mind of the half-brother of Rhea's children, Hestia and Dionisio began to help when they witnessed the serious situation and accepted that they had to do something. With the god of wine trapping monsters in vine vines while Hestia created a wall of fire that protected campers and hunters from monster attacks. In addition, Chiron saw that Thalia and Percy joined the fight again.
—|—|—|—|—|—
Percy knew that it was not the time to focus on the questions that were only growing in his mind, but hearing that Poseidon's other son who never said his name was named Jackson during the Titan's angry scream, caused him more confusion, which he could also see in Thalia.
As if that wasn't enough, there were also Jackson's things, such as the sword identical to his that emerged from a pen identical to the appearance his sword takes to keep in his pants pocket, before hearing the demigod who seems to be twice Percy's age say "Protect them, Ana" and that with those simple words the appearance of Jackson's sword changed slightly, lengthening about three inches, while the edge of the blade took on a bluish color and began to float when the man opened his right hand, releasing the handle. (1)
There was also the fact that Jackson did that while his left hand reached into one of the pockets of his jacket, from which he pulled out a trio of blue pearls, giving one to Percy before grabbing the minotaur's axe and throwing it with great force at the Titan with one hand, while with the other he threw the other two pearls and then ran against him Titan at high speed at the same time that a shield began to form on his left arm.
"Come on Percy!" exclaimed Zeus' daughter as the distance between them and the first chain closed, as well as making Sally Jackson's son concentrate on what they have to destroy
—|—|—|—|—|—
Jackson had to suppress a growl when he saw that the daughter of the King of Olympus and the young son of the King of the Seas had ignored his instructions not to attack the chains alone
"At least Ana is with them" was what the black-haired demigod thought as his faithful friend and companion protected the duo of teenage demigods, quickly eliminating the monsters that approached to attack them
But his mind was also focused on the fight as he blocks another attack from Hyperion
—|—|—|—|—|—
Zoe Nightshade as well as some other hunters tried to aim at the Titan, but with all that the son of Gaia moved while fighting the demigod and how fast they both moved, they didn't have a clean shot, so they aimed at the monsters again.
Although a small part of Atlas' daughter and the few oldest hunters could not help but think that long ago they moved with the same speed.
But as she continued to attack the monsters, she wondered what Helios' father meant about her death, though her attention was also caught by the young son of Poseidon who used a sword painfully familiar to Atlas' daughter and another similar sword also caused in her a strange feeling of familiarity, which floated while she was protecting the two sons of the Big 3.
"What are you doing?" She asked herself quietly as she saw Percy and Thalia hitting one of the large chains that came out of the ground to join to the Doors of Death with their weapons and part of her questioning if those two were wasting their time.
But after several seconds the lieutenant of the hunt saw that the son of the sea attracted the water from the geysers to himself, which gave him the strength to cut the chain together with Thalía who at the same time summoned a lightning bolt in her spear, followed by hitting the chain at the same time, managing to destroy it
Then she and everyone else saw that the Doors of Death began to close and sink a little
"THE CHAINS, DESTROY THE CHAINS!" Zoe, like the others, heard the screams of Chiron and some of Athena's children who quickly realized the reason why the doors began to close
"Cover the daughter of Zeus and the son of Poseidon!" said the lieutenant as she watched those mentioned go to the next chain.
"What?!" Some of the hunters exclaimed
"Just do it!" but the tone in the voice of Atlas's daughter left no room for discussion
—|—|—|—|—|—
"NO!" exclaimed the Titan having also heard the cries of the son of Kronos and the demigods, so he hit Jackson hard enough to push him away, even if the son of the sea managed to block the attack with his shield when he was thrown away from the son of Uranus
However, Hyperion made the mistake of not making sure that he had sent the son of the sea much farther because the moment the titan turned to throw a large fireball at Percy and Thalia, Jackson seized the moment as soon as his feet touched the ground, moving at high speed to attack Uranus' son in the armpit while sending strong, cold winds against the fireball to deflect it a bit and lower its temperature.
"AAAAHHH!" The emotion of pain in the Titan's scream was quickly overcome by fury, as the Lord of the East turned to attack Jackson again with fury
"Your fight is with me!" said the son of the seas as he exchanged attacks with the Titan, but then he complained when he noticed something "It has to be a joke!" His annoyance was because he saw that the demigods rushed to help Thalia and Percy to destroy the other chains or fight the monsters, but the latter were not like most. (3)
—|—|—|—|—|—
"THE CHAINS!" shouted Chiron trying to make his students react who threw themselves directly into fighting against the monsters that came out of the Doors of Death, because it was obvious that they had brains and/or some discipline
But the centaur's attention, along with that of some of the campers, hunters, or monsters, was again drawn by a new cry of pain and fury from the Titan
When they saw again the fight between Hyperion and the demigod they saw that the half-blood managed to wound him with a second weapon that he summoned, this being a kind of curved sword, which for the most observant or those who have been alive for a long time it was obvious that it was not a Greek sword, but an Egyptian one
For while they were not looking, Jackson had managed to stab with the trident in the left arm, strike the Titan's sword with his shield to push it away, followed immediately by a Khopesh emerging in his hand to wound the son of Uranus in the legs (2)
"Where did he get that?!" Dionysus exclaimed as he recognized that the weapon was from another culture and pantheon
"Does it matter right now?!" It was Hestia who exclaimed as she maintained the wall and a path of fire for the demigods who came to help Percy and Thalia, keeping the monsters at bay "He's the only one who's fighting Hyperion!"
She was right, at that moment it didn't matter where that son of Poseidon got an Egyptian sword, they had to focus first on eliminating or closing the doors of death.
But then the forest lit up as it began to burn because Hyperion expelled more of his power, making his flames more intense as he fought the demigod. However, the son of the sea did not move away, he stayed close in his melee combat while also manipulating the weather as clouds from a cold storm formed quite quickly, as well as icy winds reached the forest and Camp Half Blood.
That half-bloods, satyrs, nymphs, and hunters could quickly see their breaths as the temperature dropped faster than Hyperion could raise it.
"It is not possible!" exclaimed Dionysius again in surprise when he witnessed that the Titan was surpassed
"THE CHAINS!" Chiron reminded them of the objective that they had to destroy all those who were surprised by the sudden drop in temperature.
—|—|—|—|—|—
Percy could feel several chills as could the demigods who came to help him and Thalia destroy the chains, but he had to stop on his way to reach another chain because he had to fight together with several other half-breeds against the monsters, while Thalia and others went for the missing chains.
"Who opened the freezer?" someone joked about the cold they were feeling while they saw their breath and it began to snow quickly
"Isn't the barrier supposed to control the weather?!" asked another, raising his voice as he killed an empusai
"I don't know, but it's harder to fight like that," complained another demigod of the cold temperature, it didn't help that they were already in winter
Sally Jackson's son could not deny it, besides that these monsters were not like the rest they have faced, they were more skilled and intelligent, so they were having serious problems and the cold only made it worse, at least some of the monsters seemed to be in the same situation or worse like the dracaenae or the empusai.
If it weren't for the floating sword still by Percy's side protecting him, as well as the water left over from the two geysers and the pearl he threw to the ground summoning another, they would have a lot more trouble.
Even so, several of his companions were quite injured, and those who were in the worst condition were being pushed away by some of their companions, while others tried to protect them. Fortunately, walls of fire emerged, saving many of them from monsters.
Meanwhile Thalia and her group had managed to destroy more of the chains while Percy and the others continued to fight, but the last chains were being protected by the monsters and were having strong trouble reaching them, when a cyclops managed to knock her to the ground.
She was very sore from the Cyclops' attack, especially in her arm when she used her shield to block the attack, though that lessened the force of the blow as the appearance of Medusa's face made the monster hesitate when she deployed it, just as the Cyclops was about to hit her.
However, by the monster's blow she was sent flying a few meters and had released the shield, but before the monster could attack her again to kill her, a trident crashed into the cyclops, taking it away from it to collide with other monsters, killing them with the force of the impact.
That took several by surprise and although Zeus' daughter wanted to thank whoever saved her, she knew that it was not the time, nor that she could stay there, so she got up despite the pain, so she got up in spite of the pain to look for his spear and shield to go and destroy the next chain

Note #1
In the Magnus Chase books, during the book " Ship of the Dead ", the talking sword of Annabeth's cousin, which is known as Jack and its original name was Sumarbrander and was the sword of Frey, lets the son know Poseidon that his sword, Anaklusmos is alive, and it is a "her", when Percy Jackson teaches Magnus how to survive at sea. I will also make the Percy of the future interact more with the Norse
Note #2
In case anyone doesn't know, Percy met the Egyptians and was even briefly the avatar of an Egyptian goddess. Since Egyptian magicians are supposed to be descendants of pharaohs and other individuals who were avatars of the gods in ancient Egypt, hence their capacity for magic, I'm making adult Percy Jackson for his time as an avatar of an Egyptian goddess (even if it was brief), he accidentally got that "gift". In addition to interacting more with the Egyptians, which is why he knows how to use Khopesh
Note #3
The complaint of the future Percy is because he saw that the demigods were too far apart or that they were too confident when throwing themselves into a fight against the best organized monsters
