"Let's take him down," the snow queen said as she formed icy claws on her hands.
Percy nodded and turned to his servants, "when we go inside we are probably going to be surrounded by Gergosas. Marica and Craig you guys take care of them while Timmy you focus on keeping the giant naked abominations away from us with your wind powers."
The servants nodded and Percy turned to the door. He took out his dual weapons and kicked down the door walking in. What they saw inside the room stopped them all in their place.
The room was huge, bigger than the training room. The center of the room however was filled with human sized pods arranged around each other in circles. It looked like something out of a science fiction horror. Each pod was fully metal with a glass plate in the front. There were wires running all over them as each pod was filled with the neo green liquid that Percy and Elsa saw outside. Percy could see bubbles inside the pods, there was something in there.
Slowly Percy approached the closest ones, "be careful," Elsa warned but Percy didn't listen. He wiped the steam built up on the glass and looked into the pod passed the green liquid. Percy activated his 8.0 eyesight looking deeper into the pod when suddenly he could make out a figure, it was human.
Percy stepped back, his mouth open in shock. He looked around, with his improved eyesight and could see that inside every single pod there was a human being.
"It-It's humans, the pods are filled with humans," Percy whispered out as he Observed the human;

He had no opinion of Percy
He is unconscious and is dreaming of seeing his family again
"That's why there were so few people outside in town," Elsa commented remembering the lack of tourist outside even though it was the middle of summer, "Argo has been kidnapping them."
"How did he do that?" Percy asked, "how could have gotten so many people without someone asking questions?" Percy looked around, there were at least 300 pods in this room, 300 missing people.
"That's because not all of them are from here," Argo's voice came from the very end of the room.
Everyone quickly became alert and looked across the wile of pods seeing Argo at the very end with a bandage around his abdomen.
"Sure a 100 or so are form here but the rest....well let's just say the middle east is not short on slaves."
"You are sick fuck you know that?" Percy growled out.
"Well that's one way to look at it," Argo said as he look spread its arms out in victory, "I prefer to think of it as an achievement. What could these people have accomplished in life? What great thing could they have possibly done? By being my experiments I give them a life they could never think to achieve, to be the heart of the change that is coming to our world."
"You're psychotic!" Elsa roared out.
"That's a three syllable word to big for little minds," Argo said chuckling, "but I don't expect you to understand daughter, you see value in everything, a trait even I couldn't stamp out of you. But Percy here," Argo turned to the demigod, "Percy just might understand. After all he is willing to do anything to keep the people he loves safe right?"
The son of Poseidon didn't say a word, because he was afraid that if he opened his mouth he would agree with Argo. He would do anything to save those he cared for, but this, never this.
'Maybe you have to give it a little more time?' A small part of him said. Percy shook his head clearing it of such thoughts, "give it up Argo! One way or another you are going to die today!"
Argo smiled, "I would like to see you try," he then pulled out a remote control and pressed a button causing all the pods in the room to activate slowly draining away the liquid inside.
"You really think normal humans are a match for us?" Percy asked as he readied his blade for a fight.
"Regular humans?" Argo raised an eyebrow, "oh no dear boy whatever gave you that idea?" Percy remembered the bio of the Egyptian farmer, his race said human and not monster.
Argo laughed, "tell me Percy do you even know how Gergosa's are even created?" When Percy didn't answer the man continued, "it's an amazing story really. You see when the Titans fought the Gods they didn't have any ground soldiers. Sure they had monsters and other things but no infantry units. The Gods however had humans to fight for them resulting in a major disadvantage for the Titans. So Koios, the Titan of knowledge, had an idea."
Tisk!
The pods were slowly emptying out the green liquid and opening up their seals.
"He thought, why not use the god's soldiers against them? He joined up with other Titans and together they made a serum which when injected into humans would transform them into the perfect weapon for the Titan's to use in their war."
Percy's eyes went wide in fear of realisation. He looked at all the humans around him and Observed the farmer he observed before. Right in front of Percy's eyes the man's race changed.
Race— Human
Race— Gergosa.
The human slowly started to scream out as steam poured out of them. They slowly grew bigger and bigger in size. Thier jaws grew more teeth as they ripped through their clothes.
Percy got a flashback to the Gigantic Gergosa he defeated. It dropped a driving licences as a loot item. Percy though it was unrelated, but the signs were there all along.
"That's right Jackson, humans are Gergosas!"
"ROAR!"
That was the roar of 300 newly formed Gergosas. They were pushed in together and barely fit into the room. All 300 of them had their eyes on only one thing, Percy and Elsa.
"Now tell me," Argo shouted from somewhere behind all of them, "you still think you can kill me?"
Elsa's lips became dry as she started to shake in her boots. She knew she was powerful, but she also knew her limits. Behind her Percy's servants were shaking in fear, they were monsters and even they were scared. Elsa turned to Percy to see what the boy was thinking only to find the boy staring at his watch.
"Percy what are you doing?"
Percy ignored her and shouted out "Argo tell me the truth! Can you transform these creature back into humans?!"
Argo jumped on top of Gergosa giving Percy a clear view, "no, if they are transformed they can't transform back."
No lies detected!
Ping!
Your skill has leveled up!
Lie detection, Lv— 4 (22%)
You can detect lies said to you, 25% chance of success.
Percy smiled and nodded, "good."
Argo raised an eyebrow, "and why is that good?"
"Because now I don't have guilty concious," Percy explained, "I may be ruthless against monsters, but those things are usually trying to eat me. But a being like a Gergosa, well it would be more like putting it out of it's misery right?"
Argo smiled, "you still think you beat all of them?"
Percy shook his head surprising everyone there, "no not me....Kristoff."
Argo raised an eyebrow, "who the hell is Kristoff."
Elsa gasped, 'the bombs!' Percy smiled at her and quickly came to her side. He looked into her eyes, "do you trust me?"
Elsa looked at young boy in front of her. Before this day she would have said no, but after fighting with him and understanding a little bit about him Elsa realised he was a good person. She nodded, "yes."
Percy smiled and opened his inventory. He lifted Elsa, ignoring her protest and threw her into it. He then recalled all his monster back into his crystal and stood alone in front of Argo.
"You know you still haven't told me who Kristoff is."
Percy shrugged and looked at his watch;
11: 57
"He's just a guys with a lot of bombs that we put all over the place," Percy dismissively as he opened up his stas;

Percy then opened up his perk tree for Speed demon just as Argo spoke up
"I don't like being ignored you know," he said glaring at Percy.
"Oh bite me," Percy said looking at the new options he had due to leveling up his stats.
There were ten add ons in total with 2 already bought. He could buy 2 new add ons for every 10 levels, meaning he could now buy 6. Percy spent the 6 points improving his Speed Demon perk changing it to;
Ј Speed demon— Allows user to travel at unbelievable speeds at the cost of 200 HP per minute. Can be improved on with training, at present speed is: 717 Miles/hour (1,100 KM/hr)
Percy smiled, he had gained an extra 100 Km for every point. This was why he used up all his points in speed.
Beep Beep!
Percy looked at his watch, it was a minute to noon. Percy smiled, at Argo, "well...it was nice knowing you!" He then threw his arms open sending a hail of ice spies all over the room pricking several Gergosas but not harming a single one.
Argo expected Percy to try and do something clever but instead of fighting the demigod just turned around and activated his super speed disappearing in a blur out of the lab.
"Was he joking?" Argo asked out loud in surprise. He honestly didn't think Percy would be the type to run from a fight, but he supposed even with his strength 300 Gergosa's would be to much. 'And is it just me or did he get faster all of a sudden?'
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
There were several explosions that went off simultaneously above Argo. The tunnels were being hit and becoming unstable, but nothing Argo couldn't get his army of monster to dig out of. But just then;
BOOOOOOOM!
That bomb shock Argo enough for him to fall of the Gergosa and onto the floor. The first set of bombs was just to disturb the foundations. The second set was used to cause the real damage. Slowly the ceiling above started to crack, dirt fell down as large pieces crushed several Gergosas at once.
Argo's eyes widened in horror, he hadn't planned for this. He had planned to lure Percy and Elsa in deeper into his lab and then capture them alive. Suddenly a bigger chunk of rock fell down pinning Argo to the ground.
"JACKSON!" Argo roared out in pain.
Percy thought he heard someone call out his name but he honestly couldn't care less. With his Speed Demon perk active Percy was now running at a maximum of 1,100 Km per hour, nearly reaching the sound barrier.
Per second he was going at 0.3 Km traveling a distance of 984 feet. So yeah, he was going fast.
Percy was pushing himself to his very limits, his boots were already heating up as the soles started to wear off into nothing. The demigod activated his 8.0 Eyesight perk to help him navigate through the maze he was traveling in, he soon passed the long metallic hallway in seconds coming towards the giant training room. He transformed into smoke and climbed upwards and reached the lab there.
Percy changed back and ran, he passed the library and the chemical lab;
BOOM!BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Which just exploded behind Percy. The demigod could feel the heat coming closer to him as he reached the frozen bridge Elsa had made before.
BOOOOOOOM!
Percy could see the rocks along walls starting to crack and break open. Super speed gave him a good look at how slowly the tunnels were being destroyed. The tunnel ended in a flight of stairs that Percy zoomed across reaching the main room where everyone split up.
Percy turned to the exit and saw the path in front of him slowly collapse downwards creating a huge hole in front of him. He didn't stop, he couldn't afford to. He ran as fast as he could and jumped. For a moment it felt like he was flying before the ground came up to him. Percy rolled along the other side of the hole and quickly took off again.
He could see the light at the end of the tunnel, the hole he made before. But just as he was about to reach it the tunnel completely collapsed down sealing him in. 'Fuck you!' Percy shouted in his head as Gamer's mind took over stopping him from panicking. Suddenly a solution came to him.
Percy transformed into smoke and seeped through the holes between the rocks and flew upwards. The light from the sun hit Percy hard, but luckily in smoke form he didn't have any eyes to hurt. Percy kept floating away as fast as he could as the ground gave out from under him. He passed the fence surrounding the golf course and went into the road.
Finally Percy reached the time limit for his skill. He transformed back, dropped to the ground rolled and stopped right in front of his group.
"Shit it's Percy!" Marc exclaimed "quickly help him up."
A few of the pirates helped Percy up but the demigod's eyes were fixed onto the collapsing form of the Albany golf course. Just then;
Ping!

This was the reason Percy attacked those Gergosas with his minute ice powers before he ran away. He didn't want to harm them, just mark them so that when the ceiling comes down on them and they die Percy could still gain Exp for it. It was a loophole in the system he noticed when fighting the training room filled with Gergosas. They were big and slow, and though they were weak they gave out a lot of Exp.
