Edward smiled while the others looked shell shocked , how the hell did this guy even know about them?! Percy then used Observe on him;

The Informant of Boston, also known as Biggy, this man tells people what they want provided they have enough to pay for that information. He used to be part of the Italian mafia before he quite it for the Abyss. He loves his wife but hates her family.
What the hell?! This guy was a genius but nothing too impressive. Did he have some kind of power that helped him figure all that out?
"Right as always Biggy," Edward replied with a grin. He then turned to Percy, "Biggy here has the power to learn information quickly. He can also sense people's powers, kind of like you Percy."
Biggy looked up at this, "kid's got the powers of an informant? Well well well this just got interesting, guess you're not just a useless Greeky after all."
"Greeky?" Percy asked confused.
"Biggy isn't really a fan of the Greek gods," Edward explained.
"Which is why we get along so well," Biggy smiled at Edward, "alright then Eddy I know you wouldn't come all the way down here for nothing, what do you need?"
"Remember those chains I sold you Biggy?"
"Yeah, the chains that bound Hera herself, what about them?"
"Well I need them it's a matter of life and death."
"I would love to help you Edward I really would, but I can't. Those chains are being used to help a lot of people right now I can't just give it to you."
"Like what?" Edward asked curiously.
"Right now they are being used to contain a monster from attacking a colony of fairies living in the Paul Revere house."
"The Paul Revere house?" Luke asked with a questioning look.
"Fairies?" asked Grover.
Biggy nodded to them both, "yup. The Paul Revere house is marked as a landmark in Boston and is used to hide fairies, and yes I do mean fairies like Tinkerbell."
"So what are the chains being used to gaurd?"
"It's being used to gaurd a monster born out of hate and destruction. During the 2000's there was a few magician that went crazy and summoned a demon from hell and tried to make it their slave, things didn't go so well and the thing escaped. It went after the fairies and the people from the Abyss used those chains you sold to seal up the demon in the Paul Revere house."
Edward sighed as he laid back, "so we can't have them huh?"
Biggy nodded, "sadly no. But....if you managed to defeat the demon I wouldn't mind letting you guys keep the chains."
Edward perked up at this, "seriously? Just like that?"
Biggy nodded, "yup yup yup. If you managed to defeat the things I'll let you keep the chains. Interested?"
Quest Alert!

"Hell yeah!" Percy cried out as he carefully pressed the yes option. Free stat point? Yes please!
Biggy looked at him and smiled, "what's your name kid?"
"My name is Percy Jackson."
Biggy nodded, "okay then Percy, don't get to excited about this. I doubt you can actually kill this thing. It is big, nasty and deadly. It killed people far more experienced than you because it had a bad day, what do you think it will do to you?"
Percy gulped but his resolve remained strong, "I need those chains."
"Very well then," Biggy then pulled out his phone and sent Edward a text, "I texted you the details on where to find the thing inside the house. But there is one more thing you all should know, only one of you can go in there."
"What?! Why?" screamed out Luke in worry.
"Because that's how the seal was designed. The fairies would chose a champion and send him/her in to try and kill the beast, but obviously that never worked out," Biggy stated.
"Thanks Biggy," Edward nodded as Percy, Luke and Grover gathered got up to leave, "I'm sure this is going to help them a lot."
"Hey don't mention it," Biggy said waving them away, "oh by the way, Percy," the son of Poseidon turned back, "you might want to know, there is a rumor going around about a giant army of monsters gathering in the South East. Might be something but you never know."
Percy was shocked but quickly nodded, "thanks Biggy."
Biggy then waved them away, Percy ran out and waited for Edward's limo to pull up. As the rode to the Paul Revere house then began discussing who will go into face the monster.
"It's obvious," Percy replied, "I'm going in there."
"Percy you can't it's too dangerous," replied Grover, "you heared what that guy said, the thing is a literal demon from hell!"
"I need those chains Grover."
"We can find another way Percy," Luke said.
"No really," Edward replied, "I have felt the power of those things. If you want to get Percy's mom back from Hades without getting tricked then you need those chains."
Percy nodded, "yeah. And besides I'm sure I'll be fine."
"Percy this is serious business," Luke said frowning, "you can actually get killed. This won't be like the Minotaur or the robots in the forge. This thing wants to kill you, and can do so."
Percy nodded, "I know Luke.... but I have to try."
The argument was dropped as Luke and Grover knew a losing battle when they saw one. The limo pulled up to an old wooden building that looked like time forgot to touch it. The building was painted black with its windows shut and a locked door with the sign, 'Closed'.
"This place is a tourist attractions," Edward explained, "but since today is Sunday they are closed."
"Wait today was Sunday and you were at work?" Luke asked.
Edward shrugged, "I'm a workaholic. And an alcoholic, but that's neither here nor there."
He then sent the limo away and slowly walked to the house. The group then looked around, the coast was clear. Luke and Edward then set out picking the lock for the house.
"Here let me," Luke replied holding a lock pick in his hand.
"No I got it," Edward replied trying to pick the lock.
"I am faster."
"Well I am better at this."
"Bullshit."
"Well it's the truth," Edward the pulled causing his lock pick to snap, "shit!"
"Let me," Luke said as he went about unlocking the door. Suddenly the door clicked and opened inward, "there see."
"I was just a little rusty," Edward said as he walked in.
"Sure."
Inside the house looked even more Victorian. There was a chair and table in the front with places on them describing them, it seemed they belong to Paul Revere along with the bed on the side of the room, who the fuck is this guy anyway?
Edward pulled out his phone and took out the information Biggy sent him, "according to this....it should be right around here," Edward said as he walked to one corner of the room and pressed a wooden plank which then glowed blue as the wall began to separate itself revealing a pathway.
There should be nothing there, heck the wall of the house should open up to the outside, but there it is a secret passageway, must be some kind of pocket dimension created by magic. Percy gathered his wits and walked in followed by Luke, Edward and at last Grover.
The passage got darker and darker but never completely pitch black as there was always a faint blue light coming out of the walls that illuminated the path for them.
Eventually the passage lead to a gigantic room which looked like it should be used to store freaking ships. The room was illuminated by a fake sun that was floating on the top. Along the walls were stone like buildings shaped like honey combs, inside which were balls of light.
"Are those..." Luke asked unsure of himself.
"Fairies!" Grover cried out as he ran to one of them. They were scared first but eventually came out of their homes and began to circle Grover, some pulling up his beanie messing with his hair and horns.
"I think they like him," Percy said with a smile.
"They should," Edward replied, "Grover is a Satyr. They both are creatures of nature, the fairies are the same, just a little more...mischievous."
Percy nodded and then turned away from Grover to look ahead and there on the far end of the room was a giant door which was 8 feet tall with pictures of skeletons being broken apart at the spine by something cloaked in shadows with bright blue eyes. The door was sealed shut by bright bronze chains that was pinned on it with silver bolts.
'That must be the chains,' Percy thought as he approached the doors.
"You ready for this?" Edward asked Percy in a whisper.
"No," he replied.
"Good. Being overconfident gets you killed. Stay on your feet, stay alert, and you might just survive this."
Percy nodded and turned to Grover who was now talking to one particularly bright ball of light, "what are they saying Grover?"
His best friend turned to him grim, "I-I....they are saying if you wish to go in there and face this thing they won't stop you. But they are also saying that if you do go....we should ready your casket."
Percy smiled, "who said faries didn't have a sense of humor."
Just then a ball of light squeaked up and Grover translated, "she's saying that they aren't being funny. They lost a lot of people, good people to this thing. Percy.... I don't think this is a good idea."
Percy sighed, "I need to do this." He then threw his bag down and pulled out Riptide.
"Here Percy," Luke said as he handed Percy the time box of Ambrosia and the flask of Nectar, "in case you might need it."
Percy nodded to Luke and put the things in his pocket. He then walked up to the door as the fairies all surrounded him. They then went to the chains and began chanting in a strange language making the chains glow with red Greek words. Before Percy could read them the words disappeared causing the chains to disappear and the doors to open for him.
Percy looked back to Luke and nodded, the son of Hermes looked unsure of this, he hated this plan. But he nodded back, he may not like it but he would support it.
Percy then turned to the open door, all that was seen beyond was darkness. Gripping Riptide hard Percy walked into the darkness as the doors shut behind him killing off all source of light.
Ping!
You have entered the dungeon, 'Cave of the Beast.' You can only exit after killing the monster inside.
Percy sighed dismissing the box, great just what I need another dungeon effect pulling me down. Well atleast I'm not alone. Percy then pulled out the gauntlet of Kefka and summoned all his servants. Zed equipped his swords, Alectos her bow and quiver and Craig had his blade ready.
Percy then took out the shard of light that he got from the forge and threw them all over the dungeon. The light revealed that Percy was now in a cave. The cave was 50 feet tall with stalactites on the top and several pillars lining the walls.
Suddenly two giant blue orbs appeared , similar to the ones the shadowy figure on the door had. The light then revealed what was inside the cave. There standing in front of Percy was a 15 foot tall beast in the shape of a wolf. It was pitch black with blood red highlights running across. It mouth was open as drool fell down in the buckets, it's teeth were long and sharp with claws just as big. On it's back were the wings of an eagle with silvery feathers that looked sharp as steel.
It opened it's mouth and roared, "ROAR!"

A Marquis of Hell, this demon lost it's way and found itself here on Earth. It has since killed and ate all that opposed it. He gives true answers to all questions asked to it and is known to be an expert in battles.
Kill to get — 30,000 Exp
Percy took out his shield and held it up ready for the oncoming fight. He yelled out, "bring it on you stupid beast!"
Alright there we go another one done. Everything was done, sorry if some seem a little laied back, but they did just go dungeon hunting so...
Questions;
Percy is Orion: Ah... I don't know. Kind of cliche and an easy way out. I just don't like it. But seriously who the hell wants to be with a girl who likes you because you remind her of her ex?
Smut?: Ah... maybe. But not right now. Percy is freaking 12. Maybe like later on.
Rage against the Gabe: Okay I see what you're are saying, Percy has Gamer's mind, this shouldn't get him angry. Right? Well think of this, the Gamer's mind complies the data that Percy feed it and gives a statement: You are angry. There is not anger there, but it still doesn't change the fact that Percy wants to ripe Gabe a new one. It's like this, the GM makes your emotions manageable, but you are still going to feel all those things.
Alright I think that's it. If I missed something please P.M. me and I'll get back to you. Peace out!
Chapter 15
Chapter 15:
How the hell am I going to actually kill this thing? It is big and scary, but so is all the monsters I face.....maybe I should just ask? Heck I never tried that, maybe it just might work. Also it's info did say it gives true answer to questions.
"So what is the best way I can kill you?" Percy asked the demon, "and where are all your weak points?And how would you react if I force feed you Ambrosia and Nectar?"
The demon looked at Percy with a look which basically said, 'really?'
Percy shrugged, "well I tried, get him guys!"
Percy jumped to side as Zed and Craig charged the big wolf. Alecto drew up an arrow and fired at the thing's eyes. But before the arrow, Zed and Craig managed to hit the thing, it opened it's mouth and roared. The shock wave alone tossed all three back onto the floor. Percy grimaced, 'this is going to be a lot harder than I expected.'
Percy then jumped forward just as it closed its jaws and with Riptide he cut across the things right eye;
Ping!
Critical hit! 350% of 250 attack= 875 Attack!
Marchosias HP: 37,125/38,000
Percy then ducked down as Marchosias moved backwards in pain. Black blood dripped along Riptide, it seemed demons from hell had black blood. Not really that surprising. Just then;
Warning! Attack from front!
Percy jumped back just as Marchosias swiped at him with one of his gigantic paws. Percy grimace "Alecto light him up!"
"Right boss!" the Fury called out as she fired arrow after arrow at the monster, some stuck while others couldn't penetrate the fur.
Marchosias HP: 37,005/38,000
"Zed bash his skull in! Craig cover Zed until he gets a clear shot in!" Percy called out as he put away Riptide and pulled out his climbing gloves. He had a crazy idea in mind.
