It was also the reason he level up INT along with VIT.
Percy had noticed that the only way he could ever increase his HP and MP is by leveling up. And the stronger he get's the rarer that will happen. So he made this plan in the back of his head the moment he realised he was going to face an island of Gergosas.

And then in a flash of light a golden sphere appeared in Percy's hand. It was the power mimicker item he got as a reward. It was size of a walnut covered with strange writings. But before Percy could even Observe it somebody spoke up.
"Percy.... where's Elsa?" Anna asked with her voice filled with worry.
Percy blinked, "oh yeah, knew I forgot something!"
Anna became enraged, "WHAT?!"
Galen held Anna back with and arm, "relax missy he didn't mean it like that."
"Of course not," Percy replied back as he opened his inventory throwing his reward in for later study and pulling out Elsa.
The snow queen blinked as Percy held her like a bride, "ah..where am I?"
"Sis!" Anna cried out in happiness. Percy put Elsa down just as Anna grabbed her into a big hug.
Elsa looked down at Anna and then to Percy, "ah...what's going on? Weren't we inside the bunker a few seconds ago?"
Percy smiled, "I put inside my pocket dimension for storage and then ran out of there in the last moment."
"Strange," Elsa said breaking the hug with Anna, "one second I was inside the next I'm out here. That is one strange power you go-"
"-Wait a minute!" Anna shouted again, "you mean you two were in there for the last possible second before getting out?! What the hell Elsa?! Do you have a fucking death wish?!"
Percy and Elsa backed up slowly with a nervous smile on their face. "We were tracking down Argo when-" Percy began only to have Anna cut him off.
"I don't give a shit what you were doing! You could have been chasing Argo or having the best sex in the world for all I care!" Percy blushed while Elsa chuckled at the idea "The plan was to meet up outside as soon as we can! Do you have any idea how worried we all were?!"
"Actually you were the only one who was freaking out," Kristoff said for which Anna shot him a look of death shutting the tall man up.
"Leave it las," Galen said stepping up to Percy and Elsa, "all that matters is that they are alive," he said grabbing them in a spine breaking hug.
Percy and Elsa struggled through the pain but waited for the man to finish. After the were released Anna walked up and hugged Percy, "thanks for keeping my sister safe."
Percy smiled and hugged back, "no problem."
Kristoff smiled, "you know what kid your not so bad after all."
Percy smiled breaking his hug, "thanks Kristoff. Your not so bad yourself....for a guy who smells like reindeer spit."
"You know what, I'm going to let you have that one."
Everyone cheered as they all began to walk back to the port, the police would be showing up any minute now.
Elsa however stayed back looking at the artificially created sinkhole in the ground and sighed.
"He's gone Elsa," Percy said right behind her.
"How can you be sure?"
"Because he's trapped inside a big landfill. If he's not dead right now he will be when he runs out of air," Percy said standing next to her, "it's over Elsa. It's finally over."
The snow queen shocks her head, "no it isn't." Percy raised an eyebrow as Elsa continued, "he had several experiments already shipped out to different bases didn't he?" Percy nodded remembering the map he and Elsa found, "then that means that there are hundreds if not thousands of human experiments out there similar to me. I need to find them all."
Percy nodded and opened his inventory taking out the map, "then I think you might need this."
Elsa took the map, "thanks."
"No problem, just Iris message me if you need help. Some of these experiments might be dangerous to everyone including themselves, you might need my help."
Elsa nodded, "sure...but ah, what's an Iris message?"
Percy looked confused before he hit himself on the head, "right your mortal, forgot about that. Here," Percy said tacking the map and a pen out of his inventory, "just call this number and ask for me," he wrote down a number on the side of the map.
"Whose is it?"
"My mom's. She's nice, but ah, just don't mention you need me to help you hunt down super humans, that might scare her a bit."
Elsa smirked taking back the map, "you know Percy, you're not half bad."
"You're pretty cool to Elsa." Elsa rolled her eyes as Percy giggled, "get it?" The demigod asked through his laughter, "you're pretty cool."
"Yes Percy, I get it."
The entire group walked back to the port as fast as they could. People walked the opposite direction walking towards the site to see what was going on. Just as they reached Kristoff's car several police vehicles arrived at the scene. People took out their video cameras and tired to record it only to have the cops push them away proclaiming the enter area an active disaster area.
The group took a big sigh of relief as most people didn't even look at them twice, mostly because of the Mist.
"So...what now?" Kristoff asked leaning on the hood of his car.
"I guess we go our separate ways now," Galen said, "it was an honour working with you lot. You certainly have a thing for....making a scene."
Kristoff and the others chuckled. The sailors said their goodbye and left leaving Percy alone with them. "Guess I'll see you all around," Percy said waving to them.
"Guess so," Elsa sai giving Percy a smile.
"Oh this is so emotional!" Kristoff yelled out holding back fake tears, "we knew him for so long! To be ripped apart so quickly! Fate you are a cruel mistress indeed!"
Percy and the others chuckled at the blonde's antics. "You know I actually do know the Fates," Percy said causing Kristoff to flinch in fear, "I can't wait to tell them what you said."
"Ah....please don't."
"He's kidding Kristoff," Anna said. Percy's face was serious, "ah...you were kidding right?"
Percy smiled, "of course I am. Heck I curse them every other day. It's a love hate relationship," Suddenly thunder roared across the cloudless sky, "see."
"Well until next time," Elsa said stretching out her hand.
Percy smiled and accepted shaking it, "until next time."
"Gonna miss you kid," Kristoff said high fiving Percy.
"Take care Percy!" Anna waved, "Oh and if you see that blonde demigod friend of yours, Annabeth I think, tell her I owe her for breaking my nose."
Percy chuckled and with a final goodbye left the team of sisters plus an idiot.
As Percy walked down the port to the Ascension he heard someone scream, "man over board!"
Percy whipped his neck across and saw a sailor from the Ascension falling into the water. 'Great a new problem,' Percy cursed as he commanded the water to safely catch the man and life him back up and into the ship.
Percy then activated his super speed and dashed onto the ship causing splinters on the bottom of his legs, he wasn't used to his new speed. Ignore the discomfort Percy walked to the bow of the ship where everyone was gathered.
"What the hell is going on here?" Percy asked as the sailors turned to him.
"Oh thank the gods you're here Percy," William said visibly relieved, "you have got to get your brother under control!"
"Brother?" Percy asked lifting his eyebrow. The men slowly parted giving Percy space to move forward. There standing in front of Mera's water tank was a young man with green skin and black hair like seaweed ties back in a pony tail. He wore greek style armour that was studded with pearls and wielded a trident, which he was now pointing at all the sailors.
Percy sighed, he didn't even need to Observe the man to know who it was. "Hello Triton," Percy said walking up to the god, "you took long enough."
Triton looked down at Percy and huffed, "I ran into trouble in the sea of monsters. But I am here now, and I come to find these-these ruffians surrounding my daughter?! She is your niece, and you just let these people take care of her while your off gods know where?"
"Father please you are making a scene" Mera said only for Triton to ignore her plea.
Percy sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "if you had waited with dad you would have heard me tell how I still had a quest to finish and how I was leaving Mera without good capable men, men who helped save her in the first place. Something you failed to do if I recall."
"Oh gods he's doing it again!" Marc shouted as the rest of the crew laughed, "how does he always manage to piss powerfull people off?!"
Triton gritted his teeth, "you saved my daughter, that is true. Sight, fine demigod ask of me what you wish and let us be done with this unpleasant business."
Percy was ticked off, "who the fuck do you think you are?!"
"Percy please don't" Mera tried to reason this out only for Percy to ignore her also.
"You just come in here, start attacking everyone in sight and then act like we are your servants! Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Triton's eyes started to glow green, "I am Triton! Son of Poseidon and the God of the Navy!"
"Even with being all that you still failed to come to your daughter at the time of her need!"
"Why you little-"
"ENOUGH!" Mera shouted out loud causing all the fighting to stop. Percy and Triton looked at the mermaid as slowly tears welled up in her eyes, "please stop. Father they saved me, they are my friends, the only ones I have left. Please don't harm them."
Triton immediately calmed down and rushed to his daughter's side pulling her into a hug, "I'm so sorry baby girl, I'm so sorry."
Percy looked down in shame, he let his anger get the better of him. He should have been thinking about Mera not showing up Triton. Just as Percy opened his mouth to apologize an Iris message appeared in front of him.
"What the-" Percy began when suddenly Clarisse's face appeared in the rainbow.
"Percy! So glad I could get to you!"
"Clarisse? Why are you calling me?"
"We need your help Percy."
"Are you guys alright?" Percy asked in surprise, "did something bad happen?"
Clarisse sighed, "a lot of bad things happened, but I'll tell you all that later. Right now we are stuck on Polyphemus's island Percy! The bald walking garbage can got us trapped inside it's cave and we can't get out. It took Annabeth and Nina as hostages along with Grover."
"Grover? What the fuck is Grover doing there?!" Percy exclaimed thinking back to his first best friend.
"Something about Pan, look Percy it's bad. Michael is injured and the only reason Polyphemus hasn't eaten us right now is because Grover is distracting him by dressing up as a female cyclops."
Percy raised an eyebrow and Clarisse shook her head, "I don't know. Maybe the goat likes dressing in drag or something."
Percy nodded, "okay I'll try to get there as fast as I can," Percy turned to Galen, "do you guys want to come with?"
Galen and the crew nodded immediately. "We need the fleece to save our captain, of course we're going."
Percy nodded, "how long till we get there?"
"Well the island is inside the sea of monsters. It would normally take a few days to get in there..."
"What about with me boosting out speed?" Percy asked.
"10 maybe 12 hours minimum. Provided something doesn't try and kill us."
"Shit, we might not last that long," Clarisse said causing PEecy to try and think up of different ways he could get there. He could fly, but he doubted Marcia could fly that long. Maybe he could ask his dad for a favour, get a turbo boost to the sailing. Yeah, yeah that might work—
"I will help you," Triton spoke up drawing everyone's attention to him, "it is the least I can do after you saved my daughter."
Percy nodded, "thanks Triton. How long do you think we would take to reach the island with you helping?"
"Half an hour."
Several crew members whistles in surprise. Percy's eyes widened comically, "wow, that's fast."
Triton nodded, "shall we begin?"
Percy nodded, "yeah," he turned to Clarisse, "hang tight war girl, I'm coming to help. Plus I got back up."
The daughter of Ares nodded and canceled the Iris message.
"Everyone grab onto something," Triton called out as he lifted his trident high up in the air causing an aura of power to explode out into the ship. Ropes moved quicker than a normal human eye could follow, but Percy could.
The ship was ready to sail in seconds and slowly the waters themselves pulled the boat out of the dock and into the open water. The moment the boat was in open water it exploded outwards causing a lot of sailors to lose their footing and fall down.
Percy watched Nassau slowly shrink away into nothing as the ship ripped across the ocean.
"And now we will leave you," Tritton said walking up to Percy. A spark of anger and loathing was still in Triton's eyes but it was covered up by gratitude, "thank you Jackson, for saving my daughter."
Percy nodded, "not a problem. Thanks for the lift."
"Not a problem."
Percy turned to Mera, "stay safe Mera."
The mermaid smiled, "I would say the same to you but considering just who you are I believe that to be impossible."
Percy smiled, "go that right."
Triton then stepped up to his daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder. They glowed brighter and brighter until they both suddenly vanished in a flash of light.
"Show off," Percy whispered under his breath.
The boat continued to sail as soon all the sailors got used to the additional speed. They quickly went about their way making sure everything was in order in case something bad happened like the boat springing a leak due to how hard it was moving. Percy didn't think such a thing would happen, he could feel the hull of the ship being protected by Triton's blessing, there wasn't anything to worry about.
Percy sat on top of the dragon's head on the tip of the bow. The wind blew past his face letting his mind focus on what had happened.
