"This is going to be fun!" Timmy said as he formed blades out of the wind.
"Finally I get someone who like to talk!" Zed cried out, "this one," he pointed at Craig, "doesn't like to banter."
"I simply have less to say," Craig grumbled out as the three jumped into battle with the plant monsters.
Percy zoomed across the floor sending wave after wave of mana to sense Nico and Bianca. Finally he got a hit, he felt something cold and dark, two somethings in fact. Percy turned to one corner of the room and saw two children at the corner playing chess.
'Chess?...Well I suppose that fits, after all they wouldn't' know what a videogame is,' Percy ran and stopped right in front of them drawing both their attentions away from the board and to him.
"Can we help you?" The girl asked. She looked around 12 and had olive skin like PErcy. She and her brother both had black hair and black eyes, and both wore very old clothes. Nico had a pair of slack with suspender on over a coat while his sister wore a red dress with a scarf around her neck.
"Yeah, I'm here to get you both out of this place," Percy said as the two siblings slowly got of their seats.
"Really? You don't seem like the lawyer we talked to before," Bianca said suspicious.
"Oh who cares," Nico groaned, "it's been forever since we left!"
"Don't exaggerate Nico, it's only been a month"
"A month? Sigh, we'll deal with that later. Look I'm a friend of your dad's" PErcy explained, "well not friend, I'm just doing a favour for him."
"You know our dad?" Nico asked with his eyes sparkling, "who is he?"
"It's a long story kid, look I just need you two to come with me," Percy said looking around to see Zed cut one of the flower guards into pieces, "now."
"No hold on just a minute, we will not be going anywhere with you unless-"
"-I don't have time for this!" Percy yelled out as he grabbed Bianca and carried her like a bride. He opened his inventory and threw her inside before turning to Nico.
"What did you do to my sister?!" Nico shouted as he charged Percy with fists clenched trying to hurt him.
"Relax kid she's safe," Percy said catching both of Nico's fists and lighting him up, "and now your turn."
"Get off! I demand you get off me!" Nico yelled out but Percy ignored him throwing him into the inventory and closing it.
Percy then turned to his servants, "it's time to go!"
"Right!" They responded as they dissolved into smoke and entered Percy's gem.
Percy then turned around and took off in a breakneck pace past the Gaming room and through the Casino entrance.
Percy stopped the moment he reached outside, it was night time. Percy looked at his watch and saw that it was working again. It was around 9 in the night, Percy had been trapped in there for more than 11 hours!
'Maybe it's some kind of time manipulation charm,' Percy wondered as he looked back to see whether he was followed, he wasn't, he got out scott free.
Percy sighed in relief and then began to walk out into the Vegas night. The city was so much different from just 11 hours ago, there were lights on everywhere and people were out and about dressed up in their best.
Percy was amazed at all he saw, it almost made him want to enter a real casino and try out his luck, but he had a mission to complete. Maybe he would come here for his birthday or something.
Percy smiled and put on his goggles activating his helmet, he had to admit, this thing was kid of growing on him. He then activated his super speed and zoomed out of the city leaving the lights behind.
It took three hours of constant running for him to get hungry again. This time he chose a Taco Bell to get something to eat and after the quick pit stop he continued his run. He reached camp at 1 in the night, and immediately went to the Big House to find someone, anyone to help him out with the extra demigods he had brought with him.
Percy stopped running in front of the porch and quickly entered the big building. He looked round and found the War room's door was slightly ajar. 'They must be having a meeting,' Percy realised as he quickly walked into the room pushing open the door.
The room immediately stopped all talking and all turned to face Percy. Percy saw all the head counselors there, including Chiron, Dionysus and an awake Thalia.
"Percy, your back!" Annabeth cheered as she ran up and hugged Percy.
"Wow, I wasn't' gone that long was I?" Percy asked as he tried to avoiding thinking about the way Annabeth's boobs were pressed up against him.
"I was worried, we tried to Iris message you but couldn't get through," Annabeth explained breaking the hug.
"Hey man," Travis and Connor Stool stood up and hugged Percy next, "we thought you were in trouble or something."
"No, nothing bad happened, I just ran into some unexpected trouble," Percy said hugging both the brothers before turning to Chiron, "heya teacher, fancy seeing you here."
Chiron smiled, "get over here Percy."
Percy smiled and quickly went and tightly hugged his old teacher, "it's good to have yo back Chiron, you wouldn't believe how much of a nut case your replacement was."
"Oh I have an idea," Chiron said grining, "something about him crazy, right Lord Dionysus?"
The Olympian huffed, "whatever. Now, I heard you had some kind of self imposed quest Peter Johnson, care to share?"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "didn't Annabeth tell you Lord Dionysius?"
"I didn't know whether you wanted me to tell them or not," Annabeth explained, "considering the nature of the problem."
"Right, well it all started yesterday night when I received a message from Hades, he needed a favour from me."
"You did that God a favour?!" A sharp voice through. Percy turned and saw Thalia walk upto to him with a smell of ozone flowing off her.
"What's with the hostility sparky? You know people usually wait until I say something to them before, they get pissed of."
"Hades is the reason I got turned into a fucking tree," Thalia narrowed her eyes, "and don't call me sparky."
"Right, forgot about the whole tree thing. Well I did do him a favour, but it wasn't for him, it was for his kids," Percy said as the two stared each other down, Percy was much shorter than Thalia, but his presence was stronger than hers. Now that he looked closely Percy realised the girl was even prettier awake. He hair was spiked and all over the place and the blue highlights really matched her electric blue eyes. Her thighs looked like they were going to tear her jeans, and the way her legs kept going on and on...., 'okay, I have a problem.'
"Wait, kids?" Lee Fletcher asked, "Hades had kids? As in plural?"
Percy turned away from Thalia and nodded, "he had two kids, a girl and a boy."
"Great, just what we need, more annoying brats," Dionysus said finishing his drink in swing, "it's time like this when I wish I could still drink."
"Where are they Percy? Did you mage to get them?" Annabeth asked.
Percy nodded, "yeah, I got them. Well.....more like kidnapped them. I didn't really have time to explain to them what was going on, so I just tossed them into my storage space and moved on."
"Storage space?" Selina asked confused, "what do you mean?"
Percy sighed, "right, you guy's don't know. Well it doesn't matter now, Kronos and his army knows, there's no point keeping my powers a secret from you guys any more. Annabeth could you explain, I'm exhausted."
"Percy has a unique power," Annabeth explained letting Percy sit down and relax, "it allows him to create unique pocket dimensions."
"Pocket dimensions?" Thalia asked surprised, "what the hell are those?"
"It's when a large amount of space is folded into itself so that it only occupies a small amount of space in our world," Chris Benkendorf spoke up.
Annabeth nodded, "right, and Percy has access to different kinds. He has one in which he puts and carries everything he owns, sometimes he can even carry people in it."
"He saved my life using that trick," Clarisse spoke up as she slammed her hand on Percy's back, "I still owe you for that water brain."
Percy smiled and Annabeth continued, "he calls this pocket dimension of his 'The Inventory,' like the kind people use in video games. He can also create whole new worlds filled with monsters that he, and sometimes us, use to train ourselves."
"He can make a new world?!" Thalia asked shocked.
"Wicked!" Travis and Conner yelled out together.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Castor, the son of Dionysus asked.
"I didn't trust you all before," Percy shrugged, "in my defence I had just learnt that I was a unique individual in a world where flying horses are considered normal. I was scared to trust you all."
"You saved our lives Percy," Lee Fletcher said, "you really think we would have betrayed you?"
Percy narrowed his eyes at Dionysus and the God shook his head. Percy wanted permission to tell the other about the fact that there might be a spy among them, but the god denied him.
Percy sighed, "look that's all in the past now. What matters is the future. War is coming to our door steps, we need to be ready."
"Any suggestions oh fearless leader?" Thalia asked sarcastically.
"Many my dimwitted subordinate," Percy replied back.
"Subordinate?! Who the hell you calling a subordinate?!" Thalia shouted out as the ozone around her grew thicker.
"I love the fact that you had a problem with subordinate and not with the fact I called you stupid."
"Oh good lord," Thalia groaned, "is he always this annoying?"
"Yes," everyone spoke up instantly.
Percy huffed, "liars."
"Etherway we are getting off topic," Chiron said drawing everyone back to topic, "Percy those children you brought back, are they alright?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, physically at least. I'm not to sure about their mental health. I had to drag them out of the Lotus Hotel and Casino."
"What's that?" Selina asked.
"Do you remember the legend of Odysseus and the Lotus people?" Annabeth asked. Everyone nodded, "well this place is basically the modern version of them."
"How do you know that?" Percy asked surprised.
"I researched it while you were gone," Annabeth replied.
"Right, anyway I found them trapped inside, they thought that they had only been in there for around a month or so, but in reality they had been in that place for more than 60 years."
"Woah," Lee whistled out, "so they are from the 1940's?"
Percy nodded, "right, and so when I bring them out of my pocket dimension they are going to be confused, we need to help them readjust to life."
"Right then," Chiron said, "bring them out Percy, let's get this over with."
Percy nodded and opened his inventory, "oh and there's one more thing I forgot to mention."
"What?"
"They weren't the only demigods trapped in there," Percy said getting odd looks from everyone, "there were lot's of people trapped in the hotel and a few of them were demigods. Some of them were adults while the others were around our age. I didn't know what to do with them, so I brought them all anyway."
"Percy," Dionysus asked with a shaky voice, "h-how many new demigods did you find?"
Percy started to count all of them in his inventory before answering, "24, I brought back 24 demigods."
The demigods looked shocked and impressed at the number while Chiron just smiled in approval of Percy's act of heroism. Dionysus however stopped moving, slowly his eyes rolled to the back of the head as the god lost his grip on his can of coke fell. He then fell off the chair and fainted on the spot.
Surprise!
Yeah I wanted to wait till the 8th, but this chapter just came to me and luckly my first few exams are easy and din't require much time to study for. Aren't you all lucky.
Also note that this chapter has not been edited for a very important reason, no not because I was lazy but because my Beta, Piyush, got hurt. Bad. Hopefully he'll get better soon but theres nothing to do but see and wait. So please pray a silent prayer to Apollo for our Beta's health, try not mention the fact you want to see Percy bang Artemis, and we should be good.
Anyway see you guys on the 8th! For real this time... I'm serious. You can't see it but I'm using my serious face. I'm all business. Fear me.
Chapter 34
Chapter 34:
Percy stood in front of the Big House with the rest of the camp a good 20 feet behind him.
Percy turned around, "you sure you guys don't want to come closer?"
"No it's okay," Lee Fletcher called out, "we don't want to get in your way."
"And you Hermes?" Percy asked the messengers of the gods who sat next to Dionysus on the porch of the Big House sipping a glass of milk.
"No thanks," Hermes said, "I just came here to observe and report back."
Percy nodded, "if you say so."
After Dionysus fainted last night they had decided to wait till morning to release the demi gods. After all 24 new demigods would be a lot to handle, they would the entire camp to back them up. At breakfast Percy had to step up and basically explain to everyone about his inventory powers, which got him a few odd looks from the crowd. They thought he was joking, until he pulled out a shield from thin air. It took some time but people got the general gist of his powers, and here they all were.
He opened his inventory and quickly looked through it and chose the first demigod to release.
Percy reached in and pulled out a young boy with brown hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"Yo mini me," Percy said grinning ear to ear as he placed the kid down, "welcome to camp," Percy stepped to the side and gave the young boy a full view of all the campers.
"WOW!" Little Percy yelled out with a twinkle in his eye, "this is so cool! You kept your promise Percy!" The young shouted as he charged and grabbed Percy in a tight hug.
"Oph," Percy puffed out as the kid nearly took out all the air in him. He patted the kid on the back, "well a promise is a promise kid."
"Who is he Percy?" Annabeth asked drawing both Percy's attention to the rest of the camp.
"Oh right, introductions. Camp meet Percy Decker," Percy said as he patted the boy on the shoulder again.
"No another one!" Michael yelled out, "camp is barely surviving with one Percy!"
"Shut up Michael no one asked your opinion!" Percy growled out.
"Bite me fish head!"
"Shut up or I'll rip the strings off of your guitar!" Percy shouted as he turned to little Percy, "don't mind him, he just likes to be annoying."
"Like your one to talk!"
"Shut up Michael!"
"Ah hm," Dionysus cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention, "as much as I would love to see you two engage in verbal spares we do have, sigh, 23 more demigods to get through, so if you would please continue with the introduction Peter," Dionysis motioned for Percy to continue.
