Here is how she was defeated.

She wakes up lazily and starts yelling at the demigods. Then she is carried mid sentence by Leo on a flying metal dragon. Jason carries Piper and makes a big show of storm. Leo starts blasting Gaia with fire, while Piper starts charmspeaking. Then Jason loses altitude and Leo causes a huge explosion, along with Octavian.

Gaia dies and everything returns to being absurdly happy.

How can fire trump over earth? I have to ask. Zeus stated the gods could not defeat Gaea because of the Fates. Given how she was defeated this sounds like a poor excuse. There is nothing they did that Zeus, Aphrodite, and maybe Poseidon or Hephaestus could not do if they were half-way competent and could put aside their personal feuds for five minutes to save their own butts. So why couldn't the gods defeat Gaea if she was this easy to beat?

because they're fricking lazy, that's what

I mean really, all they do is cause problems for themselves and any demigods that happen to be around by forgetting past enemies whenever Rick Riordan needs new book ideas.
