Percy broke off the straps holding him place and got up.
"Where are you going?!" Thalia yelled out.
"I need to make sure they are all safe!" Percy yelled back as he jumped up. He tore through the ceiling of the metal pipe like it was nothing and landed on top of it.
He looked ahead to see the Gergosa bend down and pick someone up. Percy activated his 8.0 eyesight and immediately recognized that the person the Gergosa had in it's hands was Beckendorf.
Percy didn't hesitate as he bent low and pushed foward breaking into the pipe through the force of his jump. The entire ride shock as Percy was sent launching through the air towards the Gergosa. Percy reached into his pocket and uncapped Waverider.
Percy drew back the blade and gathered his mana activating the special feature of Waverider. Large amounts of water was summoned from the tip of the weapon as Percy used his mana control to manipulate said water into forming a larger water sword.
"Get off my friend!" Percy roared as he swung the now giant water blade across throught the Gergosa's hand, which bought Chalres up to it's mouth, and it's neck.
Percy then dismissed the gathered water and threw Waverider to the side as he grabbed Charles who was falling from the cut off Gergosa's hand. Percy quickly used the water he gathered before to form a protective ball around him and Charles and they quickly went crashing into the ground below like a falling comet.
Percy managed to create an air pocket inside the bubble for Charles to breath, he was well aware that breathing underwater was only a child of the sea thing.
The moment they stopped crashing into the Earth Percy opened the water bubble and let go of Charles who was panting.
"T-thanks Percy," the usually quiet son of Hephaestus said.
"It's okay," Percy asured him, "what happened? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," he assured the demigod, "it just— it came out of nowhere. It tried to grab Selina but I managed to push her out of the way in time. Is that....the Gergosas you guys told us about?"
Percy nodded, "Yes, and Charles, I don't think that was the only. They usually hunt in groups....we need to get the others."
Suddenly two more roars broke out of the park as Percy could sense through his mana sensing powers that exactly two more Gergosa's had suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"We need to hurry," Percy told the demigod, "go to the announcer's desk and tell everyone through the microphone to come to Picnic Grove. They may be able to handle a few of the Gergosas on their own but I don't want to risk it."
Charles nodded, "right....why is this happening?"
A dark look came over Percy's face, "I have an idea....but I hope to the Gods I am wrong. Now go! I'll make sure Selina is alright. Once you are done with the broadcast get to Picnic Grove, we'll see you there."
Charles nodded as he ran away. Percy watched him go and quickly turned around and began running the other way towards where the Gergosa was last seen. Percy reached into his inventory and pulled out his black armored gauntlet. If he was here then Percy needed something to trump his Haki.

Percy slide the gauntlet on, "Tsunami!" The armour exploded with cloth and metal as they began to cover Percy. He ignored the feeling of the soft cloth like material cover his body. He ignored how the chest plate locked itself into plate as a blue hue came on from the point where cloth met metal.

The helmet then slid into place as Percy pressed the button on the right activating his hub, he would need the mini map to find Selina.
Percy honestly wanted to check up on his mom, she was mortal and probably the one most in danger. But he had hope that Ed would take care of her.
Percy quickly found the daughter of Aphrodite hiding behind a dumpster. She was covered with garbage but she still looked unbelievably beautiful, and the revealing bikini didn't help one bit. The moment she stopped Percy and jumped at him, Percy expected a hug or even a hello, but instead Selina started to slash at him with her sword.
"Get away from me you freak!" Selina roared out as she poured charmspeak into her voice, not that that had any effect on Percy.
"Woah Selina stop!" Percy cried out as he back away from her wild, yet precise swings.
Selina paused, "Percy?"
The demigod nodded as he pressed the left button near his temple opening up the mask, "it's me."
"Where did you get that suit of armour?"
"It was a birthday gift from my dad."
Selina looked it up and down, "some birthday gift."
Percy nodded, "yeah, I know. Are you okay? Did anything happen."
"I'm fine, is Charles-"
"Is fine," Percy told her, "I told him to go to the announcer's desk and direct everyone to Picnic Grove."
Selina sighed in relief, "good, that's good. When that thing came in, I-I froze. When you, Clarisse and Annabeth told us about them....I didn't understand just exactly how horrifying they were. They tired to eat Charles Percy, eat him."
Percy nodded, "I know, but it's okay. We have trained for this, I have trained you all for this. At the very least no one else will die until we all gather together to form a solid defence."
Selina sighed but nodded, "yeah....yeah, you're right."
"Get to Picnic Grove Selina," Percy told her, "Charles will meet you there." Selina nodded and started to move when Percy stopped her, "Selina," the girl turned around, "did you see something when the Gergosa attacked? Someone?"
Selena groaned, "well.....there was this one creepy looking guy. He was one of the park workers, I think. He just....he just put me the wrong way. Like he didn't look at me in a perverted way, I'm used to that. He just....set me off."
"Where did you see him last?"
"I think he was at the Hollywood stunt ride place, you know the one that took people's photos?"
Percy nodded, "right, I'll check it out. You get to safety."
Selina nodded as she ran away. Percy activated his Speed Demon perk and rushed towards the familiar park ride. As he ran he thought it over, he tried to remember all the people in that ride, none of them looked like him. But he could have just been hiding.
Percy stopped in front of the ride and he looked around. He couldn't see anyone and his map, which seemed to work on sensing people's mana, also didn't pick up anything. Percy walked around for minutes when suddenly his screen turned red;
Warning! Atta—
Percy didn't read it as he jumped away landing to the side as something crashed into the exact spot he was standing on a few seconds ago. He landed perfectly, the heavy armour didn't restrict his movements.
Percy's hub turned back to normal, the Fates must have also made the hub linked to his own powers. The red lights must have been a version of Area sence.
Percy quickly pushed all those thoughts to the side as he looked to the thing that had attacked him.
"You have gotten faster haven't you?" asked the figure dressed in black as he stepped out of the small creator he had made. He patted his suit as blue lightning crackled around his body, "I hate getting my suits dirty, but for you.....well for you I always make an exception."
Percy growled, "I thought I killed you."
"You did, almost," the man grinned revealing his shark like teeth, "but you will find that human will can do wondrous things.....Percy."
Percy reached into the pocket of his armour's belt and drew out and uncapped Riptide and Waveride. He looked at the man and growled,"this time I'll make sure your head is removed from you body, Argo."
So honestly tell me, how many you actually believed Argo was dead?
Hope you all like the armour and the special features. UP NEXT— ARGO V PERCY FIGHT!
+200 Exp for anyone who can guess what that blue lighting around Argo indicates. Hint: It's from a TV on the CW based on a DC superhero.
Also just out of curiosity is there anyone who reads this story that is from Chennai in India? Or maybe even from Loyola college? It would be interesting to know how many people from my city actually read what I write.
Chapter 48
Chapter 48:
Percy Decker, the son of Pan, ran through the water park with his best friend Nico next to him. They both had their weapons drawn out as they ran next to Sally Jackson, the mother of Percy Jackson, the person who Decker wanted to grow up to be.
"We need to get to Picnic Grove!" Ed shouted out as he lead the small group towards the meeting place. They all had heard the message on the speakers from Charles Beckendorf, telling them to get to the grove, they only hoped they could make it before something happened.
Decker nodded as they moved through the laid down pathways. Just then a foot crashed into the ground a few feet in front of them. Decker looked up in horror as he saw a naked 30 foot tall woman look down at them with a hungry grin on her face.
"Kids run!" Ed shouted as he reached into his pocket pulling out a key chain. He tossed the key into the air and Decker watched as it transformed into mace made of celestial bronze with a morning star on top.
The 30 foot monster bent down and tried to grab Sally only for Ed to jump in and smash his weapon into the monster's hand tearing it's skin apart.
"Graa!" the monster roared in irritation more than pain. It started to attack Ed, who slowly started to move away from the group leading the monster futher and futher away from the mortal woman.
"Decker!" Nico shouted causing the son of Pan to snap his attention back to the son of Hades, "we need to move."
Decker nodded as the two began running pulling Sally along with them. "What about Edward?!" Sally asked looking at the son of Hermes who was jumping all over the place to avoid getting hit by the Gergosas' giant fists.
"He can take care of himself!" Decker called out as he tightened his grip on his sword, Leafblade, the same weapon Percy gifted to him.
They twisted and turned all over the park when suddenly a Gergosa jumped right in front of them. It was on all fours with it's mouth flooded with its saliva. It looked at them as it drooled all over the ground, and suddenly it charged.
"Get down!" Nico shouted as he grabbed Sally and pulled her down while Decker used his control over nature to attack the monster. Suddenly the rose bushes on the sides exploded towards the Gergosas tangling it up in a huge hedge of thorns and roses.
Decker stepped back as his head was covered with sweat, he had used a lot of his energy for that move, and it probably is only going to slow it down.
"You okay Decker?" Nico asked he helped Sally up.
"I'm fine," Decker said panting. Nico nodded as they turned around and ran. They took a left and went further away from the Gergosa when suddenly they heard something snap. Through his mental connection with the fauna around him Decker knew it was the roses he put in front of that Gergosa.
They quickly reached the Big Kahuna wave pool, they were halfway there now. But just then a huge figure jumped over them and into the pool causing half the water inside the pool to splash out.
Decker's eyes widened as he saw the four limb walking Gergosa stare at them, it was covered with cuts but it didn't seem to care.
It jumped out of the pool and towards them, Decker readied his blade when suddenly a blast of darkness collided with the monster in mid air sending him back into the water.
Decker turned to Nico who had both hand spread out and open. His head was covered with sweat, but he didn't look too exhausted.
They quickly grabbed Sally and tired to run for it when suddenly another Gergosa got in their path. This one stood on two limbs and had long blonde hair. It was a woman, the same one that Ed had lead away from them.
"We need to keep Sally safe!" Nico said as they turned around and ran the other way. Just then the second Gergosa jumped out of the water and landed in front of them closing all escape routes.
Decker and Nico stood on either side of Sally with their blades up. They looked as the Gergosas closed in on them. Their breath smelt like rotting flesh, their teeth was covered with blood. But worst of all was their eyes. Those dead, soulless eyes that made them feel less than human.
Decker felt sacred, paralyzed even, but he wouldn't' give up no.....Percy wouldn't give up, and neither would he!
Decker sent a blast of his mana outwards as he caught onto the minds of every single plant and bug that was around them. Decker's nose started leaking blood from the stress of controlling all of those things at once, but he pushed through, "attack!"
Suddenly the plants around them did just that. The pine trees sent out sharp pine needles at the Gergosas. This caused them to get irritated but that was when the creepers attacked. They climbed around the Gergosa's legs and tied them up paralyzing the monsters.
"Now Nico!" Decker shouted as he used his magic to enhance the strength of the creepers. Nico immediately moved as he shot a shadow grapple from his arm into the side of the Gergosa.
Nico launched sideways into the air and quickly swung around the Gergosa. He then cut the shadow line and launched another shadow grapple across the monster and pulled. Nico flew threw the air and readied his blade as he passed by the Gergosa's neck.
The moment he was close enough for his blade to reach Nico swung, and swung hard. He cut halfway into the monster's neck causing it to cry out in pain. Nico landed safely on the ground but stumbled as he was exhausted. He had been fighting for so long, this last attack was just one in a string of Gergosas he had to face and put down. The only thing that helped him move was the adrenaline flowing through him.
Nico grinned as he looked at Decker giving him a thumbs up.
Decker grinned but just then the second Gergosa, the one on four limbs, snapped out of his bound causing Decker to fall down in pain. He was mentally connected to the plant, he felt what it felt.
Sally immediately went to Decker's side and held on tight, "are you okay Decker? Speak to me Decker?! Decker?! Decker?!"
The son of Pan was unconscious as the Gergosa stood over them with it's droll rolling over Sally's head. It looked down at them and meet Sally's eye, fear ran through the mortal woman's veins. Her life passed right before her eyes as she closed them accepting her fate.
