"We need to get somewhere safe Nancy, I'll explain then," Percy said as he dragged Nancy back to Yancy academy. Percy had plans upon plan made by the time they reached his dorm, and Nancy had questions upon questions ready to be asked.
Percy threw open the door startling Chad. The boy looked shocked first before he smiled, "you know girls aren't allowed in here Percy."
"Not now Chad," Percy said as he grabbed his packed bag turning to Nancy, "Nancy I know you have a lot of questions right now, and I promise you I will answer them all, but right now you are in danger, and it's because of me. So I need to get away from you as far as I can, got that?"
"Perseus Jackson you better answer my questions or else I swear to god-"
Just then the door slammed open startling the two mortals but the lone demigods was on the move. Percy drew Riptide and was about to uncap it when he saw two blonde haired girls walk in. "Nina? Annabeth? What are you guys doing here?"
The daughter of Athena panted, "we need— to get— you out-"
"Oh for the love of the gods work on your stamina Annabeth," Nina scowled before turning to Percy, "we got news of someone planning on launching an attack on you. Looks like you handled it though."
Percy nodded, "yeah I did. Was there any casualties?"
"None, at least nothing was reported, I think the Mist covered most of it up. New said it was freak accident and that the carriage was empty, any witnesses?"
Percy turned to Nancy, "just her."
"Ah Percy what's going on? Who are the two blonde beauties?" Chad asked, but no one really bothered to answer him.
"Yes Percy who are they?" Nancy asked in a frosty tone, "and how exactly do you know them?"
"Ah, I said I would explain later didn't I?" Percy said rubbing his neck.
"And who are you" Nina asked with narrowed eyes causing Nancy to turn her attention to the Forge god's daughter.
"Nancy Bobofit, and you?"
"Nina."
"No last name?"
"You aren't worth wasting my breath over pronouncing my name."
"And you aren't worth the air you breath."
"Why you little-"
"Enough!" Percy yelled causing the two girls to stop arguing, instead they tried to each other with looks. "Nancy," Percy turned to her, "I promise I will explain everything to you, but right now I need to go. I promise I will tell you everything when I come back, but until then please understand."
Nancy looked like she wanted to argue but she instead sighed and nodded. Percy smiled and just then Nancy grabbed Percy's head and kissed him full on. Percy's eyes widened in shock while Annabeth gasped in surprise. Nina on the other hand turned from shocked to confused to enraged in a split second.
Nancy broke the kiss slowly as a bride of saliva connected their lips. She licked her lips, "you taste amazing."
"Haba Haba Haba," Percy stammered out still in shock. This wasn't his first kiss, Marchosias made sure of that, but this was the first time he kissed someone he knew and liked.
"Okay we need to go, now," Annabeth said breaking Percy out of his state of confusion.
"R-Right," Percy turned to Nancy with now a big blush on his face, "I-I'll see you around."
Nancy nodded. She took of his jacket which she was still wearing and gave it back to him, "remember your promise Percy."
Percy nodded putting his jacket on as Annabeth pulled him out. Nina glared at Nancy who smirked back. Lightning passed between them as a gauntlet was thrown, Nancy 1, Nina 0.
Percy and Annabeth walked out of the school quickly, with Nina just behind them. The quickly reached the main road and continued to town. "How did you get here so fast?" PErcy asked.
"We didn't, we got the warning about the attack a few hours ago, we took a bus over here."
"A few hours ago?! Why didn't you Iris message me?"
"We couldn't, something was blocking the signal, something powerful," Annabeth said as reached the outskirts of town.
"Okay, so what do we know so far?"
"Somebody wanted you dead."
"Yeah real short list that is," Nina added sarcastically.
"Right, so most probably Luke or Argo commissioned the hit on me," Percy said as the quickly reached the bus stop that would take them to New York where they could then take a cab to camp.
"Yes, and those two are the only ones with the ability to create Gergosas right now."
"Okay but how did they get it in here? I remember the attack. One moment it was all sunshine and rainbows, the next there was a giant naked man standing next to my pod."
"What were you doing in the Carnival anyway?" Nina asked.
"I was with a friend," Percy said, right now Gamer's mind was working overtime to stop him from blushing like a tomato.
"The girl we just saw stuffing her face into yours?" Nina asked with narrowed eyes.
"Ah...yeah, oh look our bus is here!" Percy exclaimed as he and the other got on. He paid for their tickets and soon they were off.
The three sat in the back away from prying eyes as Percy began speaking again, "so any idea on how the Gergosa suddenly appeared?"
"Teleportation?" Annabeth suggested.
Percy nodded, "possible."
"Invisibility cloak," Nina said.
"I would had heard it's footsteps coming, so no."
"Maybe you were distracted," Nina frowned crossing her arms, "after all I'm sure if little miss puffy lips was with you that Big Wheel pod might have gotten very steamy."
Percy couldn't hold the blush anymore, "nothing happened!"
"Bullshit! They why did she have your jacket?!"
"She was cold!"
Annabeth sighed and shook her head as the two demigods argued from a few minutes. Eventually the settles on a, 'don't talk about it' policy, which both parties agreed upon. The time went by quickly for them all as they spent most of the bus ride talking about their summer and sharing stories.
Annabeth had gone to see her dad during Christmas, they were on talking term but yeah things could have been better. Nina on the other hand had spent most of the year inside camp working away in the forge and Percy could see she had grown visibly taller and her arms were far more prominent.
The bus drove all night long and around mid-night it reached in New York. They got off and quickly got a cab that took them to Camp. During the car ride Annabeth and Nina slowly fell asleep with them leaning on Percy's shoulders leaving the demigod awake and nervous.
"Are they your sisters?" the cab driver asked.
Percy looked at the rough looking man and smiled, "yeah kind off."
"Ah so girlfriends eh? Ah the kids these days and their wild relationships," driver said chuckling.
"No no no no they aren't-we aren't-"
"Haah,relax kid, just pulling your leg," the cabby smiled. Percy smiled back and slowly everything became silent.
Ping!
Warning! Titan ahead!
Percy's eyes snapped up and just as the box said Hyperion stood right on the middle of the road in all his flaming glory. Percy moved, his instincts took over immediately as he grabbed Annabeth and Nina kicking the taxi door open and dashing out using the Speed Demon perk.
He put them on the side of the road before turning around to grab the driver, but just then a spear made of fire pierced through the car igniting the fuel inside.
BOOM!
Percy was blown back a little because of the explosion but he held on. The noise woke Nin and Annabeth up who quickly came to his side.
"Percy what happened?!" Nina asked as she took off her necklace which had a mini hammer pendant that grew into her large weapon she preferred to use.
"Hyperion," Percy said with narrowed eyes as slowly the Titan of the East walked slowly out of the flaming wreckage of their car. Annabeth started to shake, this was the same monster who killed her the first time, and she was not going to let it happen again. Percy took out Riptide and the gauntlet of Kefka before equipping them both on. He then gathered mana around his hand and sent it out in the form of the Bad Luck curse.
The curse flew in the form of a red beam which Hyperion tried to deflect back with a wave of his hand, but fortunately the curse contacted as Percy could see the Titan's luck slowly go down to zero;
Hyperion, Kronos lite
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Race-Titan
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-0
The third most powerful titan of all creation, Hyperion if ferociously loyal to Kronos who helped free him from his prison in Tartarus. Hyperion is know to be cruel and sadistic in his battles as he likes to torture his enemies before killing them. He is a master at controlling fire.
Like: Selene, Fire, Cronus, Theia
Dislikes: Too many to count, Percy Jackson
He wants to kill Percy for cutting off his arm.
He is very happy.
'What the fuck?!' Percy thought, 'his dislikes are too many to count but I get a special mentions?!' But it was logical since Percy did cut the dude's right arm.
"So we meet again Percy Jackson," Hyperion spat out the name like it was made of broccoli.
"Hey now no need to sound so rude," Percy said summoning his servant from the gauntlet, even going as far as to summon Cerberus back from the Underworld who appeared via shadow travel.
"Your pet's didn't save your friends last time Jackson," Hyperion said eyes the monsters.
"Yeah well they and I are both a lot stronger now," Percy said as he slowly approached Marchosias who was growling at the titan, "get the girls away from here as fast as you, got it?"
"Got it," the winged wolf responded. Percy then turned to the titan and dashed forward along with the rest of the servants. Annabeth and Nina made to move forward but before they could even move Marchosias turned into her human form, this time she still had her wings, and grabbed the two demigoddess. They struggled but before they knew it they were already half way to camp.
Percy and Craig attacked Hyperion with their blades causing the Titan to jump back and draw his own blade. Zed then jumped in and swung his huge blade down on the Titan who blocked it with his own blade, "we played this game before boy, and I will beat you, just like I did last time!" Hyperion then exploded out in flames blasting Zed backwards sword in hand, luckily he was still in one piece.
"It is good they are gone, after all it is only you I am after," Hyperion said with a snarl.
"I'm guessing you were the one who transported that Gergosa into the Carnival," Percy said eyeing the titan.
"You guessed right demigod."
"Is it because of the whole me cutting off your arm thing?" The titan roared in displeasure as he charged Percy, "I'm guessing it's because I cut off your arm."
Cerberus intercepted the running titan who summoned a flaming shield to stop the monster. The three headed dog burnt itself but managed to push Hyperion back where Craig was waiting for him. The Knight of the Damned finally managed to wound the Titan by cutting into his side drawing blood.
"You insolent brat!" Hyperion yelled out as he blasted Craig point blank with a beam of fire, but that was just a distraction.
Percy charged ahead and swung at Hyperion from the right hoping to catch him off gaurd. But the Titan was anything but. His stump of a right arm exploded out in flames taking the form of a flaming sword that blocked Riptide. Percy let go of the handle from the sheer heat alone, but instead of moving back he moved forward with open palms.
"What the-" Hyperion began but stopped seeing blood runes carved on the palm of Percy's hands. They were runes used to summon water and right as they were inches from Hyperion's face Percy activated them.
WOOSH!
The water threw Hyperion off balance dosing the Titan with 20 liters of water that cost him 200 HP and 2000 Mana;
Percy HP: 4,720/5,000
MP:1,025/3,025
Hyperion wasn't getting up as the water affect him badly, especially 20 liters right to the face. Percy panted as Alecto pulled him to his feet, "you used to much mana in that last one."
"I need take him down," Percy said as he recalled Zed back inside. The three headed dog went back to guarding the Underworld and Alecto grabbed Percy as they flew quickly in order to catch up with the winged demon and her two passengers.
They eventually reached the border to the camp where Alecto spoke, "something is off."
"What's wrong?" Percy raised an eyebrow.
"The barrier, it's weakened," Alecto said as she slowly descended to the bottom of the hill leading to camp.
Percy recalled Alecto and just then Marchosias stepped into view still in her human form with a smirk on her face.
"Are they safe?" Percy asked as he walked to the border, the demon following closely next to him.
"They are."
"Why is the barrier weak?"
"I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say something is wrong with the source of the barrier's power."
Percy's eyes widened in horror as he ran ahead recalling Marchosias into the gauntlet. He reached Thalia's tree and found half of camp surrounding it. Annabeth walked out of the group with tears in her eyes, "Percy-it's Thalia's tree, it's dying."
Okay so this one is the longest chaoter yet, as such it as also the most complecated to write. I actually finished it on thrusday, but then before posting decided I didn't like it at all. So I rewrote it on Saturday and agian, no dice. So finally today I fushed both versions into something I liked and decided to put it on, so if there any mistakes please tell me.
Note: My Beta is on Hiatus, if you want to apply please P.M. me.
Note 2: This chapter has obviously not been edited.
Questions:
Diveding the book into seperate books?: Well I don't know, I would like to, it would help diffreniacte diffrent stories, but I decided against it, quite frankly I'm to lazy and I love seeing the number of words written increase as I add more and more to a story.
What happened to Percy's deadman title?: Nothing, it's still there, he just hasn't used it a whole lot. After all his goal is to not die or come close to death.
Can Percy's friends use the skills he knows: Ah, yeah, if Percy taught them, after all he does know how to do thoes things, and with a high enough teaching level he should be all good.
Am I going to cover Heroes of Olympus?: I don't know. If the world still stands after I'm done with the original five books than yeah, maybe. But if I do I will destory the timeline, no wait not just destroy, burn it all together. I fucking hate Blood of Olumpus! I fucking read that seirs for only one person, Percy. No Percy no me.
Fire Control?: Well no. Percy can make fire balls he can't control fire. Water control and Shadow contrl are very speacial things, it's not just simple spells. So maybe if in the future Percy get's like a fire gods boon or something than sure, but I don't know.
