Days of Boom: Chapter 42

Pinochle in a Bottle

My mini-gun blazed as I destroyed the last watch tower. I watched as Burning Sun members jumped overboard and plummeted to stories to the ground. None of them died but I could tell no one had gotten away unharmed.

I hovered in the air for a few minutes and watched the scene unfold before me. The campers were swarming the armory and the forges where Dan and a few older demigods were handing out weapons. Once a camper had a weapon they'd race off to find an enemy to fight. I looked over at Half-Blood Hill where Pelus, our guard dragon, was busy fighting off two smaller dragons.

I looked over to the lake trying to find El and the rest of the children of Poseidon. For some reason they weren't there. I looked futher up the creek and saw them fighting off Shrimp-zilla aka the Skolopendra. The massive beast was working it's way up the creek from Long Island Sound while the Sea god's kids tried to push him back. Further out on the Sound I saw our flying pirate ship locked in combat with a battle ship bearing the Burning Sun insignia. The enemy ship fired but a magical force field blocked the shot. Our ship returned fire and an explosion rocked the battleship.

Down by the cabins I spotted a small fight. It was Nolan and Megan fighting against Diane and Silver. I saw Nolan erupt in golden light and started chasing Silver swinging his hammer trying to turn him into road kill. Miraculously Silver was able to dodge Nolan's attacks. Megan seemed to be holding her own against Diane. The two were currently having a knife fight on top of the Dionysius Cabin.

As I watched something started gnawing at the back of my mind. "Where are Dionysius and Chiron?" I asked my self.
