Percy smiled at this and closed his status box. They quickly walked away from the tunnel but as they walked away Grover spoke up.
"Guys the juniper leaves scent is getting stronger now," he pointed at a turn in the tunnel, "it should be right there."
Percy readied his sword, last thing they needed was some kind of monster that loured demigods with a sweet scent only to kill them in cold blood. As they took the turn in the tunnel they were released to see no monster there hiding in wait for them. Inside all they found was a scarf;
Scarf of Aphrodite,
Enchanted to smell like the perfect scent for each individual person, this scarf is charmed with love magic causing the wearer to have +10 levels in all skills that involve seduction, example, Kissing, flirting.
Percy picked up the scarf, "it feels like the Aphrodite kids."
Lie success!
"So it must be Aphrodite's scarf," Luke deduced, "must be who Ares was on a date with. It also explains why it smells so nice. It must be charmed to smell like whatever the smeller thinks is a beautiful scent."
"Which is why Grover smelled Juniper leaves," Percy said with a grin.
"Oh isn't that sweet," Luke said in a mocking tone, "Grover thinks the most beautiful scent in the world if Juniper!"
"Knock it off you guys!" Grover cried as PErcy and Luke chuckled in his expense.
Percy put the scarf in his bag and the three quickly got out of the god awful water park and quickly drove back to the dinner where in front of it Ares was waiting for them. He was on a motorcycle and when he saw them he smirked.
"Well, you three got in half an hour. I'm impressed," Ares replied smirking, "did that spiders give you any trouble? I remember Aphrodite saying how much they scared her."
Percy smiled back, "no they didn't give us any trouble. Although I am surprised they were still there surely the god of war could have killed a few bugs to impress his date."
Ares grumbled, "yeah well I needed to leave something for you kids to do."
Luke then handed the vest over to Ares, "your shield my lord."
"Thanks kid," Ares grumbled and took the vest. He snapped his finger and suddenly the vest turned into a shield which Ares gave to Percy, "here consider it a bonus for getting rid of the spiders. Those things are nasty, one of them once caught me in the shower."
Percy reached out nervously but took the heild anyway, "thanks."
Ares nodded. He then took out the three rings, "here as promised, three rings of invisibility. Use them wisely."
Each quester took a ring and put it into their pockets. Luke then spoke up, "thank you so much for helping us lord Ares. It means a lot."
Ares grumbled like worker being forced to clean up the store by his boss. He then looked at Percy and glared, "stay alive kid."
Percy then watched Ares ride away in that loud thing he called a vehicle, "could that be considered as a warning or an order?"
"Oder most likely," Luke replied as he sighed, "let's go get some sleep you guys. We will need it tomorrow we reach LA."
Percy nodded as they all then wene to their motel. Percy put his bag and the new shield of Ares to the side. He couldn't put it in his inventory because Grover and Luke would then ask questions so he was forced to carry the stupid thing.
After a nice hot shower and a later night movie Percy and the rest of the quest members crashed. Only Percy wasn't asleep, he had his eyes closed but he didn't let sleep take over. He stayed awake waiting. Waiting for something to happen. Luke was up to something, and is Percy was right about his suspicions he will do something tonight.
As the clock struck 12 Luke started to move. Percy opened his eyes slightly and watch Luke as he put on his shoes to step out. Percy immediately reached out with his mana and thought out, 'Shadow Spying.'
Percy felt his mana infect Luke's shadow as the son of Hermes closed the door behind him. Now all Percy had to do was wait and hear what Luke was up to.
Percy closed his eyes and he heard footsteps. Not his or in this room, but Luke's. Luke was walking on hard concrete now tiles. The swimming pool outside the motel then. He then heard something ruffle as Luke then spoke out, "Oh Iris goddess of the Rainbows accept my offering. Show me Lord Ares."
Percy's eyes widened at that but he quickly focused back on Luke, this was it, this was Luke's dirty little secret.
"I was wondering when you would call," came the rough voice of Ares.
"I waited till everyone was asleep," Luke replied, "did you hide the lightning bolt in the shield?"
"Yes, I put it in the handle, exactly as planned. Just make sure you get the sea scum to Hades and make sure he delivers it to Hades before you toss him into the pit."
"R-right," Luke's voice was hesitant.
"Why the hesitation? This was your plan from the start, don't tell me you're backing out now."
"No I am not! The plan will go on schedule. You still have the helmet of Hades yes?"
"Yeah I got it. I still don't know how you managed to steal the Lightning Bolt and the Helmet of Darkness."
Luke replied something but Percy wasn't paying attention. He cut off his shadow spying skill and sat up from his bed. He walked over the Are's shield that was propped up and felt around the ends of the handle. He felt something in the corner of the handle, something stitched in. Percy ripped out the threads and there poking out at the end of the handle was a neon blue lightning bolt.
Everything fell into place. Everything made sense now. Luke was the Lightning Thief. Percy felt betrayed, he felt like Luke had ripped his head off his shoulders and then kicked it like a soccer ball.
Why did Luke do this? Why did he steal the Master bolt? Percy knew he was angry at the gods for abandoning their children, but this? Would he really start a war?
Percy pulled the Master Bolt out of the shield handle and held it in his hand. It was a cylinder which had a lightning bolt stuck inside of it and on either ends had a conical structure extending out.
Zeus Master Lightning Bolt,
The ultimate weapon of Zeus this is the most deadly instrument in the Greek Pantheon. Crafted by Briareus, Cottus and Gyges, the hundred handed giants, this weapon in one of three. It's full potential can only be reached when wielded by Zeus or a child of Zeus.
Damage: 9,000,000 Attack!
Percy's hands trembled, this thing was genuine, which meant Luke is the Lightning Thief and that son of Hermes planned to kill him the moment he stepped into Hades.
And just then Percy remembered something. Something the oracle of Delphi warned him about;
You shall be betrayed by one who callssss you friend,
Luke. It was look who will betray him. No...he already did. And just like that another part of the prophecy made scene;
You shall go wessst, And face the God who has turned.
The god who turned. At first both Chiron and Percy thought it meant Hades, but no. It was Ares. He was the god who turned.
Gamer's mind immediately came into effect as it helped Percy process all of this. His emotions came down and ideas on what to do next started to generate.
'Okay Luke wants to kill me. My advantage, my abilities which he doesn't know and the fact that I know it's coming. His advantage, he is being backed up by Ares himself.' Percy knew he couldn't put the lightning bolt into the shield again, it wouldn't be properly hidden. So Percy tossed the weapon of destruction in his inventory and put the shield back where he left it before.
Percy then went to bed just as Luke came in. Luke didn't look at Percy and promptly crashed into his own bed. Percy looked at his friend, no, former friend, and Observed him.

Luke Castellan in the son of Hermes, at a young age he saw his mother lose her mind and when father was not there to help her, his hatred for the gods began. Luke loves all of his family, even the extended members and is a person who would help them in an instant. Luke hates the Olympian for abandoning their children and wants to wage war on them all by stealing the lightning bolt and the helmet of Hades.
Luke considers Percy his little brother and wants to protect him.
Luke is feeling conflicted about betraying Percy.
The last part in his info was new, guess it was something Percy could only read after he knew Luke was the lightning thief. Percy then became conflicted about what he should do with Luke when he read about how feel about him.
Luke was feeling conflicted too, he didn't want to do this. Maybe Percy could use that doubt and somehow save his mom while not having to fight Luke.
Percy was ashamed at how he was thinking. Gamer's mind made everything objective, so h could only think about what he could use to survive. It was a horrible way to think about someone, Percy knew that, but in the end it was either him of Luke.
So Percy closed his eyes and let sleep take over, Luke wouldn't kill him in his sleep, he needed him.
Ping!
You have slept in a bed; HP and MP have been restored 75% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy and the others started early the next day. They started the drive at around 6 in the morning and drove quickly stopping only for food and bathroom breaks. Percy used Gamer's mind a lot that day. Every moment Luke made Percy analyzed and judged whether he was going to kill him or not. So far Percy managed to put on a neutral face, but it was cracking. Luke and Grover asked him several times why he was so angry, and he just waved it off saying he was nervous.
Eventually they reached LA by sundown.
Percy stepped out of the vehicle and looked around. Right now they were parked at an overview point so that Percy could see everything in Hollywood. To his right was the famous Hollywood sign and in the far distance was the Pacific ocean.
"Where exactly is the entrance to Hades anyway?" asked Grover as he popped up on the runck of the car.
"You have lived in the world longer than me, I was hoping you would know," Percy replied looking over his shoulder.
"I think it's best we spend one more night in a motel and head out for the Underworld tomorrow," Luke said with a smiled.
'Why does he want to do that? Is he going to try and go into Hdes himself while we sleep?' Percy thought as he put on a smile on his face, "good idea Luke. We need to be alert and ready."
Luke nodded happy. He then sat next to Grover on the hood of the car looking at the view. Percy remained silent but inside he knew that this was it. It was all going to go down tonight.
After an hour of sitting on their car and enjoying the view, the questers all went to a motel. The motel was right next to the beach, something Percy insisted on and as soon as they entered their room they all promptly collapsed into their respective beds. Only Grover slept while Luke and Percy pretend to sleep.
Percy then waited and at around 10 Luke got up again. He then went to Ares's shield and began to search it for the lightning bolt. "Shit!" Percy heard Luke whisper as he then promptly walked out of the room, probably to Iris message Ares or something.
Percy got up and put on his shoes. It was time. It was time for him to confront the Lightning Thief. Percy opened up his status page and quickly used up his stat points.

He didn't have enough to improve his speed to Luke's level and his agility was never going to reach Luke's 56. So Percy put it in the one thing that might give him a fighting chance, his luck. Logically speaking Percy should just take out the Master bolt and zap Luke into ashes, but this...this was personal.
Percy left the room leaving a sleeping Grover behind. He then quietly snuck to the ground floor and to beach, the only place Luke could make an Iris call.
Percy walked into the sand and kept his head low as he approached a figure standing in the beach with a torch light. The person was obviously Luke.
Luke walked up to the waves and used the mist coming off the waves to form a rainbow. "Oh Iris goddess of the Rainbows accept my offering. Show me Lord Ares," Luke called out as slowly the rainbow turned into a window showing Ares.
"What brat?" the god of war asked in a rough tone.
"Where is the lightning bolt?!" Luke screamed.
"Are you deaf? I told you it is in my sheild!"
"Well it's not there now! I checked the handle, nothing!"
"Impossible! Unless— behind you!" Percy jumped up and slashed Riptide downwards cutting the message off and nicking Luke in the shoulder.
"Percy?!" Luke shouted out as held onto his bleeding shoulder, "what the hell are you doing?!"
"Luke," Percy replied in a low voice, "you are the Lightning Thief."
Luke's eyes went wide, "Percy I can explain."
"Enough!" Percy yelled out as he attacked Luke. Luke drew out his own blade and bronze metal bronze as slowly Percy pushed Luke back with each strike.
"I didn't want to do it Percy," Luke cried out as he dodged a swing from Riptide.
"Shut up!"
"I wanted to go to Hades myself and trade the Lighting bolt for your mother! I didn't want you to find out this way!"
