Random Prediction!
Okay, I was watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2, and you know how it ends with the epilogue of Harry, Ron, and Hermione being older? Well, I think Rick may do that in Heroes of Olympus Book 5.
I don't know why, but I just thought of Percy telling his kids, "And that, is how your mother and I saved the world twice." Clearly 'your mother' is referring to Annabeth, and the twice is referring to Kronos and Gaea!
Legitimately, I just pictured that in my mind, and knew I had to share it with all of you!
Also, here's a question for all of you to think about: Will The House of Hades have a prophecy? Think about it: what would it be? who would give it? do they even need one? They all already know what they are going to do: get to Greece, and open the Doors of Death...how...who knows? The only one who could give the prophecy is Ella, but she isn't with them! Unless they get an Iris Message from Rachel or something and either Rachel or Ella gives it! Would Rick make it 9 books with a prophecy and one without? I doubt it! Well, that's something to think about, and let me know your ideas!

Important News!
Okay, I know I don't usually do two posts in a day, but I just had to!
This awesome website that talks about Percy Jackson Movies has just agreed to a friendship with me. What does that mean? It means that the admin over there is awesome, and they agreed to post about me if I post about them!
This site http://www.
In other news, I have decided that the Fan-Fiction Contest will be extended. You now have until MARCH 1st to submit. If you already have submitted, please feel free to make changes, add to it, etc. and re-submit. If you do not want to do that, please know that I will remember when picking the winner, that you submitted early.
In case you don't know/forgot, here are the rules/regulations
Topic: One Adventure Had By Percy and Annabeth Whilst in Tartarus
Length: Any length is good. Please do not make it too short as it is nothing, and do not make it too big, as it is boring. However, I will read all submissions regardless of length.
Submission: Email me the submission at percyjacksonjunkers@gmail.com I'd prefer if you emailed me a file (ex. word document), however if you just copy/paste it that is okay too. You may submit more than one story if you'd like, but not more than one a day.
Picking a Winner: I will chose the winner based on which story I liked best. If it is too close, and I cannot decide, I will post the two closest, and have you guys (my audience) decide.
Prize: The winner will get to write their own post which I will post here (as long as it is appropriate). It does not have to be PJ related, but it must be "PG-13." If that does not work as a prize for you, I am okay with giving something else. Either comment, or email me what you would like as a prize, and the chances are if I think it is fair, I will allow it.
All submissions will be posted on this blog after the final date (3/1). They will all be posted in one post, so if you do not want to read them, it will only be one day without a post from me.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Prophecy of Seven Line 3!
Random thought just came into my mind, and I think this one thing a lot so I figured I'd post it before I forget!
An Oath to Keep with a Final Breath
I'm not sure if I posted about this the last time I talked about the prophecy, but here it is anyway.
Chiron stated in The Lost Hero [I believe] that we swore upon the river styx never to reveal information about the Roman Camp. He said it in the plural, meaning that there was more than one person in on this oath. What happens when you swear upon the river styx and break that promise? --you die--[or something very unpleasant happens to you]! It is your final breath. When Zeus breaks the oath about demigod children, Thalia is "tree-i-fied;" when Poseidon breaks the oath, Percy's life pretty much sucks! So, since Chiron is immortal, what will happen? Will the quest be sabotaged? Will he be sent to a bad place for punishment--will he be sent to tartarus? Now there's an interesting turn of events. What if that happened? What if Chiron was sent to tartarus for his actions? Who else is in tartarus at this moment? Oh yeah, Percy and Annabeth! Now, on the unlikely chance that that actually happens, there would be an interesting plot twist. Chiron would be joining in on the quest. And that is possible--for Chiron to join a quest. Remember in The Titan's Curse when Chiron says something like, "I would have volunteered myself it hadn't been for the 'one shall perish by a parent's hand;' it fits all too well" [don't have the book with me-can't get exact line]. So, this shows Chiron would be willing to go on the quest, and how well would him being in tartarus work? PERFECTLY! Now, it is extremely unlikely that this will happen, but we'll just have to wait and see!

PJO vs. HoO!
Many people have conflicting opinions on this one question: Which series is better; Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus?
Of course, I have my opinion on the debate. I'm sorry in advance to anyone who disagrees with me, but I perfer Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I obviously have a million reasons for this, but as they say in Percy Jackson, three is a good number.
They Lasted Longer: By this, I do not mean what most of you think. What I mean is that since I was younger, and well...I hate to say this but...I didn't like the series as much...they took longer to read. Yes, by the end I was finishing them in a weekend, but still...that's better than a day! If you read my post, My First Percy Jackson Book! you will see that it actually took me a few weeks to read The Lightning Thief. WEEKS! And, I didn't have to wait a whole year, since a few were out already. Now, I have one happy day a year, and 364 (365 last year!) days crying over waiting, and regretting the fact that I read it so fast. Oh, and I almost forgot, at least in the middle of waiting, we got a Kane Chronicles book! What do we get now...NOTHING!
Grover: This one requires MUCH less explaining. I miss Grover :( Yeah, Coach Hedge is awesome, but I miss Grover!
Dionysus: I miss Mr. D also :( Baccus isn't as good! D>B!!! Mr. D's fighting with Percy was amazing! It added comedy to the story! I miss that :)
So, all in all, PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS FOREVER!!! :D
But, maybe Books 4 & 5 will change my mind! :D
Whatever way you feel, however, I hope (and know that) you will agree with me on this... PERCY JACKSON FOR LIFE [.blogspot.com]

More House of Hades Stuff!
RAWR!! 249 More Days!!! How Can I Possibly Do This!!!
Okay, now that I got that out, here is a pretty cool trailer I found for The House of Hades. Clearly it's not the real one, but it is pretty good, and it got me even more upset that I have to wait 9 more months. So, I though I would share it with you! :)
Hehe...okay maybe not...but this is the actual one I was talking about....seriously this time :)
Thanks for Reading! And Keep Submitting in the Contest!

Do You Like to Re-Read The Percy Jackson Books?
If you are anything like me, you constantly re-read the Percy Jackson books over and over again. So, my question to you guys who do is: How Many Times Have You Read Each PJ Book?
Here's Mine:
The Last Olympian: 5
The Sea of Monsters: 5
The Titan's Curse: 5
The Battle of the Labyrinth: 7
The Last Olympian: 7
The Lost Hero: 4
The Son of Neptune: 4
The Mark of Athena: 3
That's to the best of my knowledge, plus I am not including times where I just read one specific section/chapter. So, have you read them more than me? less than me? the same?
Sorry for the shortness of the post!
Thanks for Reading!
P.S. Keep submitting entries to the contest!
P.P.S. I will post all relevant contest submissions at the conclusion of the contest
P.P.P.S. Although I haven't yet decided on a prize, I was thinking about this: the winner can write one post for me, which I will not edit at all, and will post (as long as it is appropriate for this blog -- It doesn't have to be PJ related, but it must be appropriate; as in you can post whatever you want, whether it be promotions, or just getting yourself out there, but it must be "PG"). How does that sound?
Good Luck to Everyone!

My First Contest!
Thank you to warriorsandpj for this idea! I apologize for not taking your original idea, but I feel this suits the topic you wanted me to talk about better.
The one thing Percy Jackson related that I cannot do is fan-fictions. I've tried and I've failed. However, I know a lot of you not only like to do fan-fictions, but are good at them too!
So, I want anyone who thinks they are good, knows they are good, or even strives to be good at writing fan-fictions to write one for me. The topic of your fan-fiction should be One Experience Percy and Annabeth have while in Tartarus. You can basically have whatever you want, I just ask that you keep it somewhere in the level of correct in terms of mythology.
It does not have to have a happy ending if you do not want it to. I ask that it is decent in length, but not too long, however I will read all entries regardless. Please email me your entry at percyjacksonjunkers@gmail.com and I will email you back saying I got it!
All entries are due on February 1. If I do not receive entries from more than three people, I will either extend the deadline, or cancel the contest all together. You may enter more than once, but no more than once per day!
I will have a prize for the winner, but I haven't decided on it yet, so...you'll just have to wait and see! I look forward to hearing from all of you, and good luck!
The contest starts... NOW!

Harry Potter and Percy Jackson!
I'm back! Sorry sorry sorry for making you wait!
Due to a request from Solace Utara, I will do a post regarding Harry Potter, and comparing it to Percy Jackson.
First of all, I'd like to say that JK Rowling is a saint. Thank you JK Rowling for your amazingness to mankind. --Let the record show that I feel the same way about Rick Riordan--
Okay now that that's over with, I want to say one thing I absolutely hate. I hate it when people say oh Percy Jackson is just a [bad] copy of Harry Potter. No! It is not a copy, and even if it was, it certainly would not be a bad copy. Below I will list some common things people claim to be copies of HP, and argue my point against them.
There are three main characters: Percy, Annabeth, Grover Harry, Hermione, Ron; yep it must be an exact copy. I can't name any other literature that has three main characters [sarcasm]. If you disagree, google may just be your future best friend! It is very common for literature to have a male and female protagonist to appeal to both boys and girls; then the third is usually to foil the two. Oh, wow, Grover messes up sometimes and screws up Percy and Annabeth Ron screws up sometimes and messes up Hermione and Ron; I guess I'm just proving the wrong point [sarcasm].
Of the main characters, one is the main hero, one is a girl, and one is foolish at times: Percy is a Hero, Annabeth is a girl, and Grover is foolish Harry is a hero, Hermione is a girl, and Ron is foolish; Again, this is the same thing I said in the last one (very common).
There is a 'safe haven': Camp Half-Blood is safe from all monsters Hogwarts is safe from all death eaters; again I can't name any other books that have a safe haven [sarcasm].
The safe haven is broken down into different groups: Camp Half-Blood is broken up into cabins Hogwarts is broken up into houses; I'm not even going to use sarcasm on this one...obviously there has to be some controversy!
There is a house filled with kids the main character doesn't get along with: Percy hates the Ares cabin Harry hates Slytherin; again, there has to be controversy! Conflicts make a book!
There is a lasting love life that takes a while to come together: It takes four years for Percy to go out with Annabeth It takes Harry [insert number of years here] to go out with Ginny; most series have love lives. What do you expect...for it to happen in a month?
They use the term "half-blood": Percy is a half-blood Snape is the half-blood prince; a half blood is a term from Greek Mythology...enough said!
There is a sense of magic: Demigods Wizards; yes, they both use magic, however they could not be more different about it!
There is a prophecy the main character must fulfill: Percy has to defeat Kronos Harry has to defeat Voldemort; most books do have an antagonist and it is up to the protagonist to defeat them.
They use invisibility: Cap of Invisibility Invisibility Cloak; The cap of invisibility was taken directly from Greek mythology...Athena gave it to Perseus!
There are many others, but these are the ones I found showed up most often.

Which is Your Favorite Prophecy?
As you can see, on the right and left sidebars, I have every book with their prophecies. Also, if you take a look at my post Prophecies! you will see a detailed explanation of each one. For these reasons, I will not waste my time (or yours) posting all of the prophecies again.
One thing I didn't take into account when making that post was the question, "Which prophecy is your favorite?" I was emailed this question, however, the person wanted to remain anonymous, so I shall follow his/her wishes! To answer this, I have sub categorized favorite in this case into three subsections.
In Terms of the Way it Sounds: By this I mean how the prophecy sounds when you read it out loud. Most of them are ranked highly in this category, so I will start by taking the ones out that I feel do not sound good. The Lightning Thief (although it is good, there are many that are better) The Sea of Monsters (again, same reason) The Son of Neptune (well this should be obvious) The Mark of Athena (difficult to count out, but there are many better) The Prophecy of Seven (maybe I'm counting this one out because I say it too much haha). Okay now I'm down to 4. I guess next I'll cut out The Battle of the Labyrinth. Okay, 3 -- hard to do but bye bye The Titan's Curse. 2 -- The Last Olympian (I really like the first two lines!). So, the winner is The Lost Hero (I really feel it is extremely catchy!)
In Terms of How it Played Out: By this I mean how the prophecy unraveled throughout the story. Firstly, I should be able to rule out The Prophecy of Seven, as it hasn't unraveled. Next, I'm going to out rule something that half of you are going to hate me for (but half of you will love me); The Last Olympian. Yes, this unraveled extremely well, but I feel it was overplayed. It legit talked about the line "...cursed blade shall reap" a million times! Next is an obvious one as it didn't really unravel; The Son of Neptune. Next I'm going to take out The Mark of Athena. My main reason for this is that they didn't even have to figure out the "...angel's breath" line, they just knew it was Nico...what? Okay, moving on. Next, I'm going to eliminate The Lost Hero, although it was the catchiest, it didn't win this category. Now, it is getting hard. The Lightning Thief; it was good but not great. Oh, I almost forgot The Sea of Monsters; that one too was okay. Well, lastly I'm going to eliminate The Titan's Curse. So, the winner is The Battle of the Labyrinth (I really feel it was the most unpredictable and it all came together well)
In Terms of How it was Given: By this I mean how the prophecy was given to the person who it was for. For this one I am not going to out rule, but just knock it down to my top three. The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, and The Great Prophecy. The Great Prophecy, although it was kind of funny to read Rachel fainting, has to be knocked off first. I guess I'm going to have to knock off The Son of Neptune next (sorry Mars). So, the winner is The Mark of Athena (Yay Ella!)
Okay down to three! Well, my winner is ...
The Lost Hero!

One thing I didn't take into account when making that post was the question, "Which prophecy is your favorite?" I was emailed this question, however, the person wanted to remain anonymous, so I shall follow his/her wishes! To answer this, I have sub categorized favorite in this case into three subsections.

Ideas!
I'm running out of ideas of what to post on this blog, BUT I WILL NOT QUIT! I want to continue to post EVERY SINGLE DAY, as I've been doing, because that is the single factor that sets me apart from other Percy Jackson Blogs.
So, I need ideas. Please, if you have any ideas of what I should talk about, either comment them, or email me. It doesn't even have to be Percy Jackson related if you want. I am willing to talk about ANYTHING. Yes, I would prefer Percy Jackson, but if it's not, it's not!
Don't let them down! I need your help, and they do too!
Anyways, on a different note, guys (and girls), if you read my blog, PLEASE, click follow! It is located on the left sidebar. It only takes a few seconds, and the more people that follow me, the better chance there is I will do more posts. Yes, I have been posting every day for a long time, but soon that may have to change. If I have followers, however, I will have a reason to post. So please take those few minutes and hit that button!
Oh and also, some people out there are really awesome! For example, the admin of http://prophetsoftheforce.blogspot.com She was nice enough to make a post containing my Blog! YAY! I just thought that deserved some attention! Another one is the admin of percyjacksonfansunite.blogspot.com She even included a link to my blog on her sidebar! Lastly, the admin of ilubfanfiction.blogspot.com linked me too! Thanks guys!
Also, I'm putting together an email list, from which I will email everyone from time to time. It will include stuff such as monthly happenings, important posts, important dates, and whatever else I think of. If you want to be on it, either comment your email address on this post, or email me at percyjacksonjunkers@gmail.com You can be removed at any time.

Movie Cast!
As we all know (or at least should know), The Sea of Monsters is coming to theatres August 16 (this year). I wanted to take a moment to look over the cast from The Lightning Thief, and rate how well they "fit" the part (apperance wise)
Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman)
This (thank the gods) is one of the characters where you can say, "yeah, I did kind of imagine that." You could look at him and say, "yeah, that is Percy Jackson." One thing, however, that they definitely should have done is given him green contact lenses or something of that sort; Riordan made a big deal with the fact that Percy has green eyes, like his father. But overall, I'd give Logan Lerman an 8.5.
Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario)
My first opinion: NO! What happened here? Alexandra Daddario does not even have blond hair! What in Athena's sake were the producers doing? Also, I don't know about you guys, but to me, Alexandra just has a too fierce of a look. She's just too intimidating. Yes, I can imagine that Annabeth gets like this at times, but I don't imagine it as her natural look. At least in The Sea of Monsters, she will have blond hair! Overall, I'd give Alexandra Daddario a 4.
Grover Underwood (Brandon T. Jackson)
Again, my first opinion of this: NO! However, as the movie progressed, I did begin to believe in Brandon more and more. He truly acted like Grover on the outside. But, he looked WAY too old to play Grover. I mean, yes, it did say he looked older than Percy in The Lightning Thief, but no...just no. Even Percy looks older than I had imagined, which made Grover, again, WAY too old. All in all however, I'd give Brandon T. Jackson a 6.5.
Chiron (Pierce Bronsan)
This one gives me a hard time. He looks okay to play the part. At times I think "NO," but at other times I think "YES!" So, I truly do have a hard time rating him. However, if I had to give him a number, I'd give him a 6.
Luke Castellan (Jake Abel)
Jake Abel was a pretty good at portraying Luke. However, one HUGE thing he needed was the scar. Like, again, seriously producers? Is it that hard to get some makeup on him? All in all, I'd give Jake Abel a 6.5.
Gabe Ugliano (Joe Pantoliano)
I was trying to stay away from the minor characters, but this one could not go unsaid. He was, in simple terms, amazing! I mean it was just a really good match. I'd give him a 9.
Clarisse La Rue (Oh Well No One)
I don't agree with this one. Well it is hard to agree. Seriously, not having anyone play Clarisse? She is a huge part of the book! I think Alexandra Daddario (Annabeth) would have portrayed Clarisse nicely. Thank the gods she will be in The Sea of Monsters because if she wasn't well...I'd give up. Well, I can't give it a 0 because truthfully if that had someone play her, it would probably suck, so I am forced to give her a 0.5.
I'm sorry I didn't do all of the characters (I could have, but I just don't have enough to say).
Thanks for Reading!

The House of Hades!
I haven't really done a post focusing on The House of Hades (Heroes of Olympus Book4) yet, so here is one. I would assume (and hope) that most, if not all, of my readers have finished The Mark of Athena by now, and if you haven't, "What are you waiting for? It came out on October 2! You should have been done by October 3 at the latest!"
Release Date: October 2013. Official date not released yet (to my knowledge), but according to Wikipedia, it is October 2, 2013. However, I seriously doubt this since that was the release date of The Mark of Athena, and I'm pretty sure they always come out on a Tuesday (or at least they frequently have in the past). So, if I had to guess, I would say it will be released on October 1, 2013(Tuesday)
Narrators: Obviously, this is not at all "true," but are just my guesses. There will most likely be four narrators. To be honest, when I finished The Mark of Athena, I thought Percy and Annabeth were not going to be included in The House of Hades, and I was completely devastated! However, sometime on his Blog or Twitter or something, Rick Riordan said Percy and Annabeth would be in The House of Hades. So, that leads me to assume that at least one of them will be a narrator. I doubt it would be both of them because I doubt they are going to get separated. It is hard enough, them being in Tartarus, that I feel the least Uncle Rick could do is to keep them together. So, for that reason I think Percy Jackson will be a narrator. Annabeth was not only a narrator in the last book (as was Percy), but was the last book, so now it's Percy's time to shine! Now, the other three is where it gets hard. The next one I'm going to talk about is going to be the most controversial one, as it's difficult to talk about him. Nico di Angelo was on the Argo II with the rest of the gang. He is going with them to Greece, and he is the only one who knows about the Underworld (well I guess Hazel knows too, but Nico knows the most). I know he isn't one of the seven, but I don't feel his time is done yet. The next one seems to come as a clear sign to me. Jason Grace was not a narrator in The Mark of Athena, and I believe he has to be one in The House of Hades. Now the last one is another tricky one, but I narrow it down to two people. Leo and Piper were narrators in The Mark of Athena, and therefore most likely will not be in The House of Hades. Hazel, I feel, will not be a narrator if Nico is a narrator, so I feel the fourth narrator will be Frank Zheng. This combination would make it an even distribution of Greek vs. Roman demigods, however this is pretty irrelevant considering all four narrators in The Mark of Athena were Greek. This would also be a possibly problematic combination due to the fact that all four of them are males. All in all, however, my prediction is Percy, Nico, Jason, and Frank.
Gods: Clearly, one or more gods will show up in The House of Hades. I'm going to try to name as many as I can. The first one should be pretty obvious. I would venture to guarantee that Hades will show up in The House of Hades. I wonder how that will turn out with both Nico and Hazel being there. I mean Hades technically isn't Hazel's father, right? Well at least this should guarantee Hades will be nice to them (I hope) My next guess is definitely possible. I believe Persephone will show up (too bad Grover won't be there). Next, I think Thanatos will be there, although he may not show up until Book 5. From here on, it is basically just my guesses, as I can't really know any more. I think Athena will show up. I don't know why, but I think she will be there, either to tell Annabeth she needs to focus, to tell Percy he better take care of her, or to tell the Argo II that they better save her. Lastly, I think Mars is going to show up. I really don't have a reason for this haha. So, my final prediction is that Hades, Persephone, Thanatos, Athena, and Mars will show up in The House of Hades.
Things I Do Not Believe: Okay, there are too many things I can name that I think will happen, so I think it will be easier to name things that many people believe will happen, but I believe won't happen. Firstly, I hate to say this, but I do think The House of Hades will be the worst book in the series. I believe this because I don't see many things that will happen. All the things people want to see, won't happen in this book, I believe, but will happen in Book 5. Secondly, I will say the one I am most willing to give up. I believe Reyna and Octavian will not make an appearance. Like I said, I am willing to give up this assumption if someone presented a good enough argument. Also, I believe Annabeth and Percy will not reunite with the Argo II. I feel this way for the same reason I feel my first assumption. They will not fight Gaea's forces until Book 5 in my opinion. Lastly, I believe Hazel will not decide who she loves, again for the same reason. I truly hope I am wrong on all of this because if I am right, this will be on the bottom of my favorite-least favorite order.
Anyways, that is all. Thanks for reading! Oh and I almost forgot, I'm trying to make a cover for what I think it will look like, but sadly I'm a terrible artist, and my computer art skills are not much better, so any of you who are good artists (computer or actual), send me what you think it will look like at percyjacksonjunkers@gmail.com, and I will post it here (assuming it isn't totally irrelevant). Thanks again!
P.S. If you read my blog and still want more Percy Jackson (because you are like me and can't get enough), head over to percyjacksonfandom.blogspot.com. It's really good!

Fight Club Day 7 Pt 3!
Leo decides that he's going to need some good luck on this one, and reaches into his magical tool belt, and pulls out a breath mint. He puts it in his mouth, and "eyes down" Hazel. Hazel lifts her imperial gold spatha, and smashes it onto the ground to show her authority. Leo rushes Hazel, and as he's running, pulls out a chainsaw. Hazel runs into Leo, just as he's able to turn it on. Hazel misses her swing, and Leo cuts her with his chainsaw. She falls to the ground, blood rushing out of her arm. Percy runs up to Leo and lifting his arm announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, magical creatures of all ages, I officially declare Leo Valdez the winn--" But just as he's saying it, Jason runs and tackles him over, screaming, "It's not over yet Percy, the horn hasn't sounded!"
--------------------------------------------to be continued--------------------------------------------
Percy, laying on the ground realizes what has just happened, gets up, clearly irritated by Jason's actions towards him. Everyone standing around the battle field was clearly confused at what was going on, and they were all starting to scream. "What is this?!" "It's rigged!" "The horn is just broken!" Then, even Leo, who was staring at the blood leaking out of Hazel's arm, started to scream, "Jason, Percy! It's broken! Look, she's clearly dead, just give me the vict--" But just as he said that Pluto arose from the ground, clearly angry. "LEO VALDEZ! You dare defeat my son, then attempt to kill my daughter? No, I will not go for this! If you want to win this match, and defeat Hazel, you have to defeat me!" At that point, Jason, who was feeling pretty cocky being a son of Jupiter and all, runs up to Pluto and screams, "Uncle, as much as your presence here is legendary, you have no business here! You joining in this battle will officially make Hazel the los--" But just as he was about to finish, Percy, happy to have a reason for revenge, knocks Jason over, and announces "The rules state that any immortal beings willing to interfere with our matches have the right! The gods can do what they want in this situation, and as Pluto has declared, "In order for Leo to win the finals, he will have to defeat Pluto as well as Hazel!" "Thank you Percy, I guess I owe Neptune a thank you one day! Maybe I'll rescue someone from drowning." And just as he said that, he magically lifted Hazel into the air and restored her arm, and she began to wake up. Leo, who was standing there trembling in fear, was praying to his father, Please Hephaestus. Please, I need you now more than ever. It is a matter of life or death father. His prayers were interrupted by Pluto, as he barely missed Leo with a swipe of his sword. Pluto put on his Helm of Invisibility, and Leo knew his time was up. Just as he began to say goodbye to the world, Hephaestus appeared, and took Pluto with him, away from the arena. Leo whispered "Thank you" under his breath, and it was back to the way it started. Leo stood there staring at a fully restored Hazel, who now clearly had the idea of victory on her mind.
--------------------------------------------to be continued--------------------------------------------
At this point, Leo and Hazel both knew what was going to happen; they both knew that one of them was going to die; they both knew that come this time tomorrow they wouldn't both be there. It was obvious they were both thinking about this, as they just stood there for a good minute before Jason and Percy both screamed, "C'mon, let's get this fight going!" That must have hit both Leo and Hazel, for suddenly they both sprung into action. Hazel decided her imperial gold spatha was weighing her down, and she threw it. Leo, thinking this was his golden opportunity, reached into his magical tool belt, and was sad to find he couldn't pull anything out but a breath mint. Dammit, he thought, that chainsaw must have been too much! Hazel, sensing what was going on, looked to her right, and saw the chainsaw. She ran to get it, but Leo shot fire at her. She ducked just in the neck of time, and dodged the fireball. She then made a quick mental note, and rose a huge diamond from the ground, right next to the chainsaw. Leo knew what had just happened, and knew he couldn't go near that chainsaw if he wanted to win. Hazel ran at Leo, unsure of what she was going to do when she got there. Well the time came, and unsure of what to do, she just punched Leo in the face. Leo was caught completely by surprise, and just fell down. It was then when Hazel knew what to do. She saw her spatha just behind Leo, and grabbed it. She picked it up and steadied it over Leo's face. Leo, regaining awareness, thought, it's over. I have lost--But just before he finished his thought, he came up with his final plan. "Hazel," Leo said in the calmest voice he could forge, "look at me. You wouldn't do this to me Hazel. You wouldn't do this to your boyfriend, to your best friend. Hazel, it's Sammy. I love you Hazel, I have missed you for so long." Hazel was at a loss for words, and she just fell over crying. Leo picked up the spatha, and stood over Hazel. Hazel, knowing she couldn't do anything else, stopped her tears for a second to say, "I'm done. I lose. I quit." The bell sounded and Percy and Jason announced to the crowd Leo Valdez, the winner of fight 7, and the ultimate Fight Club Champion!

Fight Club Day 7 Pt 2!
Leo decides that he's going to need some good luck on this one, and reaches into his magical tool belt, and pulls out a breath mint. He puts it in his mouth, and "eyes down" Hazel. Hazel lifts her imperial gold spatha, and smashes it onto the ground to show her authority. Leo rushes Hazel, and as he's running, pulls out a chainsaw. Hazel runs into Leo, just as he's able to turn it on. Hazel misses her swing, and Leo cuts her with his chainsaw. She falls to the ground, blood rushing out of her arm. Percy runs up to Leo and lifting his arm announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, magical creatures of all ages, I officially declare Leo Valdez the winn--" But just as he's saying it, Jason runs and tackles him over, screaming, "It's not over yet Percy, the horn hasn't sounded!"
--------------------------------------------to be continued--------------------------------------------
Percy, laying on the ground realizes what has just happened, gets up, clearly irritated by Jason's actions towards him. Everyone standing around the battle field was clearly confused at what was going on, and they were all starting to scream. "What is this?!" "It's rigged!" "The horn is just broken!" Then, even Leo, who was staring at the blood leaking out of Hazel's arm, started to scream, "Jason, Percy! It's broken! Look, she's clearly dead, just give me the vict--" But just as he said that Pluto arose from the ground, clearly angry. "LEO VALDEZ! You dare defeat my son, then attempt to kill my daughter? No, I will not go for this! If you want to win this match, and defeat Hazel, you have to defeat me!" At that point, Jason, who was feeling pretty cocky being a son of Jupiter and all, runs up to Pluto and screams, "Uncle, as much as your presence here is legendary, you have no business here! You joining in this battle will officially make Hazel the los--" But just as he was about to finish, Percy, happy to have a reason for revenge, knocks Jason over, and announces "The rules state that any immortal beings willing to interfere with our matches have the right! The gods can do what they want in this situation, and as Pluto has declared, "In order for Leo to win the finals, he will have to defeat Pluto as well as Hazel!" "Thank you Percy, I guess I owe Neptune a thank you one day! Maybe I'll rescue someone from drowning." And just as he said that, he magically lifted Hazel into the air and restored her arm, and she began to wake up. Leo, who was standing there trembling in fear, was praying to his father, Please Hephaestus. Please, I need you now more than ever. It is a matter of life or death father. His prayers were interrupted by Pluto, as he barely missed Leo with a swipe of his sword. Pluto put on his Helm of Invisibility, and Leo knew his time was up. Just as he began to say goodbye to the world, Hephaestus appeared, and took Pluto with him, away from the arena. Leo whispered "Thank you" under his breath, and it was back to the way it started. Leo stood there staring at a fully restored Hazel, who now clearly had the idea of victory on her mind.
--------------------------------------------to be continued--------------------------------------------
Tune in tomorrow for the exciting finale to the battle; who will win? will any other gods interfere? will Percy and Jason kill each other?

Fight Club Day 7!
THE FINAL MATCH
LEO VALDEZ vs HAZEL LEVENSQUE
Leo Valdez
Throughout his last two fights, he has learned that in order to win, you have to be willing to fight. His two battles have been the two bloodiest battles yet, both ending with someone getting smashed by Leo's magical tools! He is not the one who has taken the easy route to get to the finals; he has had to fight Grover, a satyr who can sense demigod blood, and Nico, a son of death who has the power to raise the dead. In order to win this fight, he will have to fight another child of death, and I doubt Hades/Pluto is going to let his child go too easily this time!
Magical Item: Magical Tool Belt
Hazel Levensque
Hazel's fight to get into the finals has been far from similar to Leo's. Throughout her past two fights, Hazel has learned something as well; Hazel has learned that her power is...well...powerful. With a sheer stroke of luck in her first battle, she learned that her power to raise deadly jewels from the ground is her key to victory. Similarly to Leo, she has not had an easy route to the finals either. Aside from having to battle a daughter of beauty she has also had to fight Annabeth, daughter of Athena, goddess of battle strategy (and wisdom). Maybe, Pluto will help her out on this fight, though, as he may want some vengeance for Nico's death!
Magical Item: Imperial Gold Spatha

Schedule For Next Week!
I'm running out of ideas of things to post, so, I'm going to write about one topic for the next week, a different section every day. If I think of something else to post, that is urgent, I will post it in addition to that day's "agenda!" I don't exactly know how this is going to turn out, considering I've never done anything like this before, but here is what I am going to do:
FIGHT CLUB: I will set up a tournament of each character "fighting." I will name all of their powers, and put them against each other! What I would do if I ever did this again would be to allow you, my readers, to vote. However, at this time I do not think I have enough readers, so I will decide by myself. If anyone thinks they have an opinion on who should win, please comment that person, and I will include it in my consideration!
*I am not including certain characters if I feel they either have too many, or not enough powers, making it unfair. These characters will be the "referees" for each fight!
**Each character may only use a maximum of 3 magical items for the qualifiers, 2 magical items for the semi-finals, and 1 magical item for the finals; these include anything they have had during the two series, even if it was already used and/or destroyed.
Fighters: Annabeth Chase, Piper McLean, Grover Underwood, Leo Valdez, Nico di Angelo, Hazel Levensque, Tyson, Clarisse La Rue
Day 1 (Sunday)
Annabeth Chase vs Tyson
Referee: Percy Jackson
Day 2 (Monday)
Hazel Levensque vs Piper McLean

Calypso!
One of my favorite undeveloped characters in the Percy Jackson world was Calypso.
For those of you who are like "Who is he talking about??" here is a really brief description:
Remember when Percy was hit onto that random island during The Battle of the Labyrinth? You know, when everyone thought he was dead...she gave Percy the flower to plant in Manhattan...the one that can only grow in the night...now you remember..? good!
If you are unaware, she is going to return at sometime in the Heroes of Olympus Series! I don't have the link to where Rick Riordan said it on twitter, but I have where he copied it onto his blog:
Q: @ariamadronio Is Calypso gonna come back for Heroes of Olympus series?

A: MINOR SPOILER: yes, you will see her at some point.
Anyways, when do you guys feel she will return?
I think it will be Book 5
Do you guys think she will have a key/major role?
I have two opinions on this. Either:
a) She will not play an extremely significant role, but will have something to do with Annabeth (whether it be Gaea using her or she fighting on the gods side)
b) She will help the seven to do something they need (have a significant role)
I don't know why, but I think Leo will kind of fall in love with her. I think she may come back when they are closing the doors of death, and since I feel Hazel will be shutting them from the inside, maybe Leo will fall in love with Calypso for some reason!
Maybe, Calypso will close the doors of death! Is this even possible?
Well, that's all...Thanks for Reading!
