Thinks Percy is interesting and what's to see what he can do
He is feeling sick.
Perc still couldn't believe what he was reading. This man was just further proof that the biblical hell existed in this world. First there was Marcia, then came the map to hell, now the child of Pestilence itself. Did the immortal Jew also have something to do with this? After all they basically dealt with the same God.
"Ah, Percy?" Thalia asked, snapping his attention from the man, "are you alright?"
"Yes, what happened? Unable to read me?" Patrick asked with a sad smile.
Percy shook his head, "no, no that's not it. It's just I... I have never thought that Pestilence could have a child."
Patrick's eyes shot wide open as a wave of whispers fell down on the group.
"H-How did you know?" Patrick asked.
"You felt like death, but not actually death, like you were dying. And you felt.... Powerful, more powerful than the average demigod. And you felt....like you belong to the Christian pantheon. Your aura reminds me off a demon I faced a year ago," Percy finished.
Lie Successful!
Patrick looked amazed, "incredible. What else can you tell me?"
Percy shrugged, "that's all I can do."
Lie successful
Just then The Immortal Jew spoke up, "you mentioned a demon you Perseus. Do you happen to know it's name?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, she was called Marchais."
Another murmur went through the crow as Dalen spoke up, "impressive, but....still not proof enough."
Percy sighed and then turned to The Collector, "how about I tell you your name?"
The group around them seized all talking and simply looked at Percy in surprise.
"W-what?" Edward asked in surprise, "P-Percy are you serious?"
Percy nodded, "yup."
"Bullshit," Dalen said, "you don't know the names of people, you said you could only feel them out!"
"And based on that I have a pretty good idea on who 'The Collector' here is."
Lie Successful!
A wave of murmurs went through the crowd and Michael and Thalia looked nervous. Percy had said everyone here was dangerous, and he wasn't even here for an hour and already he was causing a ruckus.
"Very well," The Collector said with a smile, "please, tell me who you believe I am."
Percy approached the monster and the vampire bent down. Percy leaned into the man's ear and in the lowest tone he could manage he whispered, "The Immortal Jew, Joseph Ahasver."
The pale man shot up in surprise, "h-how did you know?!"
Percy smiled, "it's one of my gifts."
"Wait this kid actually knows who you really are?!" Dalen asked in total surprise.
"Yes, he does," The Collector was in shock.
"Kid I'll pay you a million dollars to tell me who he is," Harvey said immediately.
"I'll pay 2 million!" Dalen said next.
"3 million!" another man said.
"10 million!" Patrick yelled out.
Percy backed up, "ah, what is going on?"
"Enough!" Joseph said shutting everyone down, "I will not have any of you harass this child. Yes, he knows my name, and that means he is the victor of the challenge, no one else."
Percy blinked and turned to Edward, "Ed, what is he talking about."
"I have no idea," Edward said just as confused as Percy and the other demigods.
"It is because of a deal I made years ago," The Collector spoke, "it was a challenge to find my real name. The winner could ask me anything they wish, money, power, items of great value. That was why everyone wanted to know who my name was. But you figured it out first, hence you get the prize."
"But Collector he isn't even part of the Abyss!" Dalen complained, "he is a stranger Edward, someone who just recently joined, invited!"
"It matter's not," Joseph said turning to Percy, "he won. He get's the prize."
Several people groaned in the group as several others sent dark glares towards Percy. The demigod could feel the Bloodlust rolling off of them and he gulped.
'Great I was supposed to just come in and protect Ed, now I have to deal with a room of powerful crazy people who all hate me. Just what I needed.'
The Collector approached Percy and the demigod gulped, "ah, we aren't going to have any problems are we?"
The pale man smiled, "only if you tell other people who I am."
Percy nodded, "sounds reasonable."
The Collector reached into his coat pocket and took out a pure black card with a red border line on it, "here. This is my Abyss card. It is similar to a hand held mobile device, use it to call me whenever you wish to ask your favour. Oh, and please do be reasonable."
Abyss Card: The Collector,
Serving as a device to connect to the particular person it is bounded to.
Note: This card has a tracking device on it allowing the bonded individual to track user.
Percy looked at the card, 'so he wants to track me huh? Good Luck with that.' Percy took the card and put the card away in his inventory. The Collector narrowed his eyes at the card disappearing into thin air but said nothing.
'If my theory is correct he can't track the card inside my pocket dimension, meaning I just pissed him off even more.'
"Ladies and Gentlemen," a hypnotic voice spoke out distracting everyone. Percy and the others turned to the middle of the room where the platform raised up by a foot showing the holographic projection of a woman with blond hair in a neat business suit, "please sit. The auction will start momentarily."
Edward turned to Percy and the others, "you guys go to the back and stay on look out. Remember, the Agent is targeting the people who want to by the Scent Destroyer, meaning he is probably going to try and kill us when the auction is going on."
Percy nodded, "right, be careful Ed."
The son of Hermes nodded and went to take a seat in one of the 20 chairs around the holographic stage. Percy and the others went to the side of the room and meet the other security guys. Each were dressed in nice suits and had a NJ-7 strapped to their chest.
"Is the room secure?" Percy asked the head of the security team, and he knew he was the head due to the man's title;
Damian Barnes, Head of Security
Lv— 21
The man looked down at Percy, "who are you?"
"We are part of Edward Neak's protection detail," Thalia spoke up.
The man eyed them up and down then eventually sighed, "they get younger and younger each year. Yeah, the room is secure. The only way he is going to get in is by blowing a hole through the floor or ceiling."
Percy was alert at that, "what?"
Damian shrugged, "joking kid."
"Yeah, but I wouldn't put it passed the man," Percy narrowed his eyes as he sent a wave of mana to try and see if the Agent was anywhere close. Luckily it seemed that he wasn't within Perec's range, which could ether be good, or very very bad.
"Welcome to the Abyss auction," the holographic voice spoke again, "a reminder of the rules for newcomers. All items produced in the auction will be delivered to you in 2 days or less, if you wish for them to be given to a specific location please tell us in advance. Any and all exchange of money will be done via online baking, hence please input your Baking ID into your seat's interface to begin."
Suddenly the front of ever right arm rest popped open and a pad slide up and positioned itself in front of the person sitting on the chair. Percy saw people type in banking ID and passwords and so the pad changed to the display system which was presently blank.
"Now, let us begin. The first item on our list is a classical painting done by the late Giovani Foronoche, it is titled, 'A Forest's Dream,' we begin at 1 million dollars."
The holographic image changed to one of the painting. It was a beautiful painting, even Percy could tell that. It featured a man and a woman sitting together on a boat roaring across a river that cut through a dense forest. The details were so sharp and pecius that Percy couldn't help but feel lost in it. The pads on the chairs displayed the image of the object in question with a bide option below it.
"1 million," a man spoke up.
"2 million," another said.
"3 million," this time it was The Wandering Jew who spoke.
"3 million going once, going twice. Sold to the Collector," the image changed back to the woman, "up next, the lost verse of Panicous..."
And like that it continued. Percy saw items being sold that he couldn't believe. There were ancient stone tablets, ancient weapons that were thought to be pieces of God's power, the Christian God that is, not the Greek.
Eventually though what he came for showed up.
"And now out next product isn't much of a look into the past like our previous ones, but a look into the future," the woman disappeared and a giant green pill showed up in her place, "this is the Scent Destroyer, a formula developed by Abyss scientist that will destroy the scent of any demigod that wears it. This will allow them to travel freely in our world and essentially become like a human. We will start the bidding at 10 million dollars."
Percy saw Patrick's eyes light up, but Edward was already on the hunt, "20 million dollars."
"30 million," Patrick declared.
Edward shot him a dirty glare, "40 million."
"50."
"70 million."
"90."
"100 million," Edward spoke up startling Percy and the rest, they didn't realise just how rich the man was.
"110 million."
"Why are you blocking me on this Patrick? 120 million," Edward said.
"I need that pill Edward, 125 million."
"So do I. I'm going to use it to make more and give it to other demigods, 130 million."
"A noble gesture, but disastrous. Who knows what will happen if the Greeks were allowed to roam free. 140 million."
"You are the son of one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, and you say are telling me the Greek are worse than you? 150 million."
Patrick growled his teeth but before he answered something happened.
Warning! Attack from outside!
Percy read this and immediately turned around. He saw a giant wrecking ball coming straight for the window. Percy turned and shouted out, "get down!"
Everyone turned their heads towards Percy and just as the giant wrecking ball broke through the wall tearing into the room. Percy activated his super speed and took over out of harm's way putting them on the far side of the room. He looked back at the wrecking ball and saw it got stuck a few feet into the room.
However before Percy could move to see who did this attack he felt something launched at him wrapping itself around his neck. Percy tried to remove it and saw that it was a collar of some kind. It was black and suddenly it glowed green;
Your powers have been deactivated! Specifically;
Pocket dimension control
Earthquake, Water, Shadow, Ice manipulation
Power of the Kefka gauntlet neutralized
Super speed
Flow of mana has been disrupted! You can no longer use your mana!
Percy couldn't' believe what he was seeing. Somehow this collar powered him down, he was useless!
Just then several gun shots went off and Percy heard Dalen scream. He turned to see The collector down, bleeding out as the assassin from before stood over Edward with his gun pointed down.
The assassin was just about to shoot Ed in the head when Michael jumped in and attacked the guy with Riptide in hand.
Percy watched as Michael swung Riptide down on the assassin only to have his swing blocked by the man's two guns, he must have healed from Percy's attack already. The assassin then kicked Michael back and leveled his gun at the demigod and fired repeatedly.
Just when it seemed all over Thalia stepped in and lowered her shield deflecting all the bullets off of Aegis startling the Agent due to the face of Medusa portrayed on the shield.
The Assassin then jumped in and knocked Thalia's shield to the side before punching the demigoddess across the face breaking her nose with an audible crunch. He then pulled out a knife from nowhere and shoved it between her ribs.
"Thalia!" Percy was furious, he moved before he really had time to process what was going on.
He may not have his powers, but he still had his weapons. Percy reached in and pulled out Waverider and activated the weapon. He transformed it into it's sword mode and attacked the Agent head on, he may not have his powers, but he still had his skill.
The Agent pulled out his knife and blocked Percy with it. The knife snapped in half the moment Waverider hit it. The Agent and Percy went back and forth in their attacks. Soon the body guards finally got their shit together and leveled their weapons at the Agent, "get down now!"
The Agent simply looked at them before he backed up slowly putting both hands up in the air. Everyone watched him as slowly two guards came to try and arrest him when suddenly he dropped both gus and with a flick of his wrist two remote control detonators appeared in his hands.
"Move and I blow you all up to kingdom come," Agent 46 spoke up in a cold tone shocking everyone.
"You're bluffing," Percy narrowed his eyes.
The Agent moved his jacket revealing a vest strapped onto his body containing large amounts of C4.
"Are you crazy?!" Dalen shouted, "you would kill youself!"
The Agent didn't look conflicted, he just looked determined, "my mission comes first."
"Everyone back away," the Collector said as he growled out in anger. He held his shoulder in pain, Percy figured Agent 46 must have hit the man with something that could hurt a vampire.
"What do you want from us?" Edward asked.
"Not you," Agent 46 said turning his eyes to Percy, "just him."
Percy's eyes shot up in surprise. But before he could do or say anything the Agent pressed one of the triggers in his hand sending a shock through Percy's neck from the collar knocking him out.
Some time later;
Percy woke up as his eyes slowly lifted themselves. He heard the sound of a motor boat tearing through the water. Percy felt before he saw the water splash around by the side of the boat.
"Where am I?" Percy murmured but as he looked up to see Agent 46 standing at the boat's wheels steering them away from New York.
"With me," the Agent said as he slowly stopped the boat the moment they were out of the bay.
"Why aren't I dead?" Percy asked as he felt around. His arms were bound behind him with a ziplock, it was tight, but Percy knew he could break it. He decided against doing so, first he needed to find out what the Agent wanted.
