章 68: Hf
Chapter 121
Hearing the key word being said Aecto took to the air and before Hades
even noticed her, threw the chains around the god. She then spun around
him and pulled sending Hades to his knees.
"What is going on?!" Hades shouted as he tried to escaped these chain
only to find he couldn't use his godly powers at all, the chain was blocking
it.
Percy quickly grabbed the Master bolt from Hades now captured form and
put it into his inventory. He then looked at Alecto and nodded, "good job
Alecto. Now go get Persephone please, she wanted to see this."
Alecto nodded and soon took off to search for the Queen of the
Underworld.
"What is going on here?! Why is Alectos obeying you?! What did my wife
want to see?! Answer me!"
Percy then turned to the tied up god and walked up to him, "where is my
mother?"
Hades growled, "no! You answer me! Now tell me-"
"Earthquake Fist!" Percy's fist flew into Hade's face breaking his nose and
losing a few teeth.
Ping!

"Fuck!" Hades screamed out as he tried to block out the pain but his godly
powers were bound.
Percy grabbed Hades' neck and pulled him closer, "where is my mother?"
The god of the Underworld looked at Percy and grumbled, "she is there,"
he gestured at a sphere floating near the ceiling in the throne room wall.
"How do I get her down?"
"You can't. Only I can," Hades replied smirking.
"Him, or his wife," a voice called out and Percy turned to see Alecto's
scoring Persephone in. The Queen of the Underworld looked at Hades and
smiled, "hello husband."
"Persephone? What are you doing here?" Hades asked just a little bit
nervous. Percy smiled at that and quickly walked back letting the married
couples talk it out.
"Well you see when I meet Percy over here he told me about his plan to
trap you and well, I just couldn't resist helping the boy," Persephone then
snapped her fingers and summoned a whip. Wait….was that a razor whip?
It looked like the one Percy got as loot before Marchosias tore it to shreds.
"Is that a razor whip?" Percy asked Persephone.
"Yes, I am surprised you know about it Percy. Quite the kinky little boy
aren't you?" Persephone said smiling at Percy's blushing face. She then
turned to Hades, "this is for not taking out the trash."
"When didn't I take out the trash?!"
"230 years ago!" Persephone then went to town on Hades whipping him
again and again while Percy just waited in the corner with Alecto scared
out of his mind. Bitches be crazy!
After a few moment Percy decided to step in, "ah guys," he said making
both husband and wife turn to him, "can you guys do this later? I really
need to go."
"Oh right," Persephone then snapped her fingers causing the sphere his
mom was in to slowly com down to ground level and then disintegrate
revealing Sally Jackson.
"MOM!" Percy shouted as he ran into her pulling her into a big hug, "I
thought I lost you!" Tears flew down his face, Gamer's mind could do
nothing to stop his emotions of happiness from jumping out.
"Percy?" Sally called out as she looked at her son, "Percy are you okay?"
"Me? You're the one who has been stuck in the Underworld for the passed
few days! Are you alright?" Percy then began checking his mother for any
injuries despite her protest.
"Percy I'm fine. The last thing I remember was the minotaur and….and…..
well I think that was it," Sally replied.
"It's okay. I'm just glad you're safe mom," Percy said giving her another
hug.
"Awww," Persephone called out to the scene, "see how loving they are?"
She then turned to Hades, "if you cared for me like Percy cares for his
mother we may have lived as a happy couple," she then whipped him
across his face, "but you don't do you? You asshole!"
"Sweetheart stop!" Hades cried out but the Queen of the Underworld didn't.
She continued whipping the god again and again while Percy and his mom
looked on.
"They have issues," Sally said looking at the scene before them.
"They are greek. They all have issues," Percy then watched them for a bit
longer before he decided it was time to go. He lifted his gauntlet up and
summoned Alecto and Cerberus, who was still outside destroying things.
He then turned to his mom and handed her a pearl, "here. Crush this
underneath your foot and think of home."
His mother took the pearl and looked at it strangely. But at Percy's
insistence she did just the and slowly evaporated into smoke and flew up
and away from the Underworld.
Percy smiled at that and he looked to Persephone, "I'll be going now."
The goddess stopped her whipping and turned to Percy with a smile.
"Okay then. Good luck with the lightning bolt and all. Oh and before you
go," she walked over to him and pulled out a green and black key, "this is a
space key. You use this on any door and it will automatically transport you
to wherever the key is linked to. This one is linked to my bed room."
Percy took the key and Observed;
Space Key;
Location: Underworld, Hades Place, Persephone's room.
Persephone then pulled him closer as she whispered in his ear, "come visit
me when you're a little bit older."
Percy blushed as he put the key into his pocket. "Thanks for that. And
everything," Percy said as he tried to look her in the eyes.
"Believe me Percy, it's my pleasure," Persephone then grabbed Percy and
kissed him one more time before turning back to her husband with her
whip in hand.
'Holy shit that woman is a good kisser,' Percy said to himself. He then put
the pearl down and broke it while thinking, 'take me to where my mother is.'
His body transformed into smoke, the feeling was similar to his smoke
form. Suddenly he was flying out as everything went by in a blur. Soon the
world stopped spinning as Percy found himself back in a familiar spot,
Montauk.
Chapter 122
The lighthouse stood tall in the night sky and the sky was clear of all
clouds. Percy looked to the sea and there standing on the cliff was his
mother. Percy smiled and walked up to her. "So this is home huh?"
She smiled, "for me it is Percy." She then turned to Percy and hugged him
and slowly everything just melted away. All the pain of beray, the struggles
he went through, the pain he suffered, all of it just went away. Percy didn't
need Gamer's mind for this, his mother was enough to make him feel
better, to feel happier.
"Well isn't this sweet," came a rough voice.
Percy's eyes shot up as suddenly the air was filled with a scene of danger.
He broke the hug and turned to see Ares near the bottom of the cliff with a
grin on his face and a sword in hand.
Percy stepped forward, "Ares, the god who turned," he sneered at the god
as he took out Riptide.
"So you managed to go to the Underworld and bring back mommy dearest.
Isn't that nice," Ares then twirled his sword, "Luke told me what you did to
him, pretty savage kid. Didn't think sea scum like you had the balls."
Percy looked at his mom, "mom go inside the lighthouse and stay in there.
I'll take care of this."
"Percy he is a god! You can't beat him!"
Percy smiled, "it's okay. I'm your son aren't I? I'll be fine. I promise."
Sally Jackson looked conflicted but nodded, "okay fine. But I swear to god
if you die you are so grounded!". Needless to say Percy got his sense of
humor from his mom.
Percy saluted his mom, "righto!"
She then went inside and quickly locked the door behind her.
"Has anyone ever told you how hot your mom is?" Ares asked as he
watched her leave.
Percy restrained himself from going into a fit of rage, if he did that Le Bete
would activate and the last thing he needed right now is for him mom to be
in any danger, least of all from him. "What do you want Ares?" Percy
asked.
"Simple kid. I want you dead."
"Why? Is it because chicks think I'm hotter than you? Trying to weed out
the competition?"
Ares glared, "no you disrespectful brat. I want to kill you because you piss
me off!"
"There is just one thing that I don't get Ares. Why? What do you gain from
all of this?"
Ares threw his arms up, "war kid. A war between the god is the best kind! I
haven't seen a decent battle since World War II!"
"Yeah that's cool and all but I still don't get one thing, why give me the
lightning bolt? Why not keep it for yourself? War would have happened
even if Hades didn't get his hands on the Lightning bolt. So why not keep it
for yourself?"
Ares eyes widened behind those glass, "yeah… why not?" But just then his
face changed, "because I didn't want the trouble."
Percy frowned at this. Something was wrong. Ares was being very bipolar.
Chalking it up to a god of war thing Percy readied his blade, "look Ares I
frankly don't care much about you okay? Can we just forget this ever
happened? Like let me and my mom live a normal life from now on and
you go…..do what a god of war does."
Ares frowned, "hell no! I am going to kick you ass right here right now!"
Ares then snapped his fingers transforming his bikers uniform into a big
scary grey armour with spikes all over and a very scary looking helmet
covering his face revealing nothing but those red eyes he had.
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Percy asked smirking at Ares's new get
up.
"No," Ares then summoned a spear that crackled with electricity, much like
Clarisse own, and he drew back his hand, "this is!" He then threw the
spear with all his strength and the spear flew at Percy.
"Idiot," Percy said as he opened his inventory and enlarged it to cover his
whole body. The spear flew at Percy and in front of Ares's own eyes
disappeared into nothing.
"What the hell?!" Ares roared, "what did you do to my spear?!"
Percy smiled and closed the inventory box, "I'm not telling you. What am I?
A super villain that explain each and every power he has?"
Ares gritted his teeth, or at least it sounded like that since his face was
covered with shadows, and clicked his finger trying to summon it back,
"hey! Why isn't this working?!"
Percy shrugged, "are you sure you're doing it right?"
"How else can you do it?!" Ares shouted as he slowly started to panic,
"give me back my symbol of power brat!"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "really? That was your symbol of power? Lame."
Ares's hand then glowed red in anger as he growled out, "it is not lame!"
Percy nodded, "right. Okay then let's make a deal, you have Hades's
helmet right?"
Ares's hand stopped glowing as he nodded, "yeah," he then snapped his
finger summoning the helmet. It was bronze and had a skull covering the
front while the rest of it looked like what a normal greek helmet would.
"Alright how about this, we fight, winner gets all. Deal?" Percy asked hiding
a smirk.
Ares looked at Percy and then the helmet. Slowly Percy could see a row of
white teeth behind the shadow of the hemet, "deal."
"Swear it on the Styx."
Ares sighed, "I Ares swear on the Styx to give Percy Jackson the Helmet of
Hades if I lose in this battle." Thunder cracked and Ares turned to Percy,
"happy?"
Percy nodded, "alright, the first person to hit the enemy wins. Okay?"
Ares nodded as he summoned his blade, "bring it brat."

YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and readied Riptide motioning for Ares to come at him.
The god of war yelled and began charging at Percy. Quickly the son of
Poseidon moved and opened his inventory box. He took out the Master
Bolt and fired it at Ares's crotch.
Chapter 123
The bolt of lightning flew and before Ares could use his godly speed to
move aside it hit him dead on sending the god flying back and into the
ground.
Ping!
Critical attack! 400% of 9,000,000 Attack! = 36,000,000 Attack!
Percy whistled at that. It wasn't enough to kill Ares, that's for sure, but it
must have hurt like a mother fucker. Percy put the Master Bolt away and
walked to Ares downed form which was now holding onto hi burt crotch,
oddly enough the smell of bacon was in the air, hmm. Well his sacred
animal was a boar.
"Looks like I win," Percy as he squatted down with a wide grin on his face.
"You fucker!" Ares shouted, "you cheated!"
"Not really."
"You used the lightning bolt!"
"I never said I wouldn't."
"You bastard!" Ares roared as he tried to move, but the moment he moved
his hands the cold air hit his dick causing a lot of pain, "AH! FUCK!"
Percy grinned as he took out a tin can of Ambrosia, "here even if I hate
your guts I can feel pity."
Ares didn't say anything. He grabbed the ambrosia squares with one hand
and stuffed them down his throat. Slowly Percy could see him getting
better. He then snapped his fingers changing into his boker uniform.
"I am going to kill you!" Ares roared as he tried to jump onto Percy only to
stop mid way. His face turned to one of pain as his hands went back to his
crotch. He then fell kneeled on his knees in front of Percy.
"What happened?" Percy asked with a devil like grin, "still sensitive down
there?"
Ares looked up through as sweat covered his face, "you bastard."
Percy grinned, "doesn't matter. I win fair and square, not give me the
helmet."
Ares grumbled, "bite me!"
Percy frowned, "you promised on the Styx."
"Yeah well didn't anyone ever tell you? We gods can break the promise
without the threat of death!"
Percy frowned at that. He then took out the Master bolt again, "is that so..."
He then got up and moved behind Ares and pressed one end of the
weapon up Ares's ass and whispered in a deadly tone, "give me the
helmet or I'll sodomize you by sending a bolt of lightning up you ass."
Ares looked at Percy, "you wouldn't dare."
"Try me," Percy pressed the bolt harder.
"Okay! Okay!" Ares then clicked his finger and the helmet appeared in front
of Percy which the son of Poseidon grabbed.
"Thanks for that," he said as he put the helmet away in his inventory.
"You bastard," Ares growled out, "all you demigods are all the same. No
and that boy Luke, no respect for the gods!"
"Yeah yeah whatever," Percy replied waving Ares off, "now get lost." Percy
then caught, 'fire.'
Ares was then launched upwards into the night sky with a trail of smoke
coming out of his ass, "JACKSON!" Ares shouted as he eventually landed
in the middle of the sea.

Percy smiled at that, maybe it was time he spent some of these points.
He put 6 in Vit raising it to 40 so that next time he leveled up he would get
an extra +50 HP. Then with 11 points remaining he put 10 in luck, because

With that he quickly closed the box. He then turned to the lighthouse inside
which he could see his mom smiling and waving at him. Percy smiled back
and moved to the lighthouse, but just then a rainbow appeared in front of
him causing Percy to stop.
The rainbow transformed into a window and there in front of him was
Chiron, only he wasn't looking normal, he was bleeding from a cut above
his eyebrow and behind him Percy could see a window which showed the
rest of the camp filled with monsters.
"Percy!" Chiron shouted in relief, "thank the gods you are alright!"
"Chiron? What the hell happened?!" Percy shouted as he heard screams
coming from the Iris message.
"We don't know. One moment the night was quiet then the next a large
amount of monster appeared in camp and started to destroy everything!
Are you and Grover safe?"
Percy scratched his head, "kind of a long story. I managed to go inside
Hades and get my mom back though."
"Good that's good. Alright Percy stay there, do not come here, do you
understand?"
Percy nodded as Chiron then closed the Iris message. Alright then let's go
to camp.
Sally opened the lighthouse door and walked out, "Percy what was that all
about?"
Percy looked at her, "the camp needs me."
Sally nodded, "alright then, how are you going to get there?"
Percy smiled as he pulled out his gauntlet of Kefka and summoned Alecto,
"with style."
A few minutes later Percy found himself flying across the night sky being
carried by Alecto. "Am I just a traveling tool for you? Like seriously every
time you summon me it's, kill that or carry me here. Sometimes I feel like
you don't appreciate me master."
Percy sighed, "Alecto, no offence but right now really isn't the time."
The Fury grumbled, "yeah yeah."
They reached the camp borders in five minutes. Alecto dropped Percy off
where he fought the minotaur and then vanished into smoke. Percy then
hiked up the hill and quickly passed Thalia's tree. 'Wait the barrier is still
up, how did the monsters get in?' he thought, but the moment he came
onto the entrance of the camp his mind went blank.
Chapter 124
The view he got from the Iris message was a small slice what truly
happened to camp. In short, everything was destroyed. The cabins were
crushed and on fire, the Amphitheater was completely overrun by monster
that were destroying it stone by stone. Percy could see gold dust
everywhere but underneath that was the bodies of several campers.
Percy's eyes watered as he recognized some of them. A few unclaimed
laid directly in front of him with a daughter of Hermes propped up against a
tree with a ghostly smile on her face. Percy knew them, he spoke to them,
he laughed with them.
And then he remembered the prophecy;
And you shall fail to ssssave what matters mossst in the end.
Anger built up inside of him. He looked up to the cloudless sky and
shouted, "I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
Percy could feel the Le Bete curse try and take over, but he couldn't risk it,
if there were any survivors there he would kill them too. Percy pushed his
anger down and took out Riptide with Zeus's Lightning bolt in the other. He
charged forward into camp with a look of vengeance.
He reached the Big House first and saw several campers in there with
Chiron. Most of the monster attacking them were either Hellhounds or
Cyclops. They were so focused on trying to get into the Big House they
didn't even notice Percy walk up behind them.
Percy narrowed his eyes and points the lightning bolt at their backs, "hey
fucktards!" The monster turned immediately and just then a flash of
lightning blinded half of them will turning the rest into dust.
"Ops." Percy said with a savage look on his face. He couldn't shoot the
remaining monsters, they were too close to the building. So Percy put the
bolt away and then charged the remaining monster and began slicing them
all up.
In a matter of few second ll the monsters turned into dust as Percy stood
over the golden sands victorious.
Ping!
Total Exp gained= 10,349!
Percy closed the box and then turned to Big House. The campers inside
cheered for Percy and ran out with Chiron who came out with a bow on
hand and a quiver strapped to his back. "Percy? What are you doing
here?!"
"I came to help," Percy replied.
"I told you to stay away!"
"As if! My friends are dying Chiron! What would you have me do?! Plus I
have this," Percy then pretended to reach into his inventory and pulled out
the Master bolt.
"You found it?!" Chiron asked in surprise, "wait, where did you pull the bolt
from?"
Percy then realised his mistake, well too late now, "long story. Either way
with this," he pointe at the bolt, "we have a fighting chance."
Chiron looked at Percy's determined unwavering eye and then sighed,
"stubborn as your father."
Percy grinned, "now what's the situation like? Are all the campers in the
Big House?"
Chiron shook his head, "no I managed to get the Demeter cabin, the
Hermes cabin and the Aphrodite cabin in here when the monsters
attacked."
Percy nodded, "alright where are is Dionysis? Isn't he supposed to be
guarding the camp?"
Chiron's face took a dark look, "he is not here. He was summoned to
Olympus."
Percy's eyes winded at that, "but...but can't he like split his essence? I
have seen Ares do it."
Chiron looked at Percy strangely, "Ares? Sigh never mind. Yes he can do
that but Dionysis wishes to spend no more time here than required. So-"
"So he used this as an excuse," Percy said as he respect for the god went
to the same level as Ares. He then turned to the campers that were
gathered around him. The Aphrodite campers were useless in a fight and
the Demeter kids can probably be support like Grover. Percy then turned to
the Hermes kids, most were in their nightclothes and were unarmed.
"Where are the rest of the campers?" Percy asked turning back to Chiron.
"Most I think have go to the Arena, the best place to defend an attacking
force against."
Percy too that information into account and nodded. "Alright let's go save
the rest of camp."
"But we don't' have any weapons," said one of the campers.
Percy grinned as he opened his inventory and pulled out 50 golden blades,
all of which was loot from Hephaestus forge, "no a problem."
The campers looked at the weapons with slacked jaws, Chiron's mouth
however was the widest, "h-how?!"
"Long story."
The campers rushed at the weapons as they quickly warmed themselves.
Percy also threw out all the shield he got from looting the skeletons at
Nancy academy and even some helmets. Soon the campers were armed
and ready.
"Alright here is the plan, Aphrodite cabin stay here and protect the Big
House. We will send the injured here pretty soon, you will need to defend
them when the reach here in case a monster is lurking around for a quick
and easy meal."
The usually lazy children of Aphrodite nodded enthusiastically, they wanted
vengeance on the monsters just like everyone else.
"Demetre cabin," Percy turned to the few children of Demetre there, "can
you guys control nature like Satyr's?" They nodded, "good then you will be
our support. When the main fighting force is attacking, you guys use the
plants to make sure we don't get stabbed in the back by making a wall of
plants around us, understand?" They nodded again.
Percy then turned to the largest cabin there, Hermes,. He looked around
and saw the Stool brothers there, they were still alive, thank the gods, no
wait. Fuck the gods. "Hermes cabin, we are the main attacking force. We
go in there and reinforce the people stuck in the Arena, got it?!"
The Hermes shouted all at once, "got it!"
Percy nodded as he turned to Chiron, "Chiron contact the useless wine
god and make sure he gets he ass over here."
Chiron nodded, "will do Percy."
Percy nodded and just then;
Ping!
You have unlocked a title!
Leader- allows the user to control his troops easily giving a +10 to all

Percy immediately attached the title onto his status and immediately all of
the campers he was leading felt a boost of power.
Percy then turned to the camp and drew Riptide up into the air, "charge!"
"AHHHH!" the campers yelled as everyone moved towards the arena.
The small group of demigods quickly reached the Arena and saw that the
demigods inside was quickly losing ground and the monster were almost
in. Percy smiled, 'just in time.'
Chapter 125
Percy dashed forward and cleaved a cyclops in half as the thing
disappeared into dust. He then took out the Lightning Bolt and started
zapping hordes of monsters at once.
Soon the rest of Percy's small army joined the fight. The Hermes campers
were vicious in their attacks. Each were quick and deadly striking one
monster, luring it away and then gangin up on it with a five on one tactics.
The Demeter campers were no slouch either. They quickly used the grass
to trip most of the monster which then was slain by Percy or a Hermes
cabin member. They also began to create several giant monster plants that
attacked the monster with vines crushing them into golden dust.
Percy eventually tore through the monster ranks and reached the entrance
of the Area which was now barricaded with wooden boards stone statues,
"are you guys all right in there?!" Percy asked as he turned around with his
back facing the barricade as he killed every monster that came near him.
"Percy?!" came Annabeth's voice from behind the barricade.
"Hey Wise Girl!" Percy yelled as he ducked under one Cyclop's sword
swing and then quickly punched it's stomach, "Earthquake Fist!"
The Cyclop flew back and crushed several monster under it's weight.
"What are you doing here?" Annabeth asked.
"Ah, saving you life?" Percy replied as he attacked a giant snake with
bronze scales, goddamn does everything have bronze in the greek world?
"What about your mom?!"
"Already saved her," Percy cut into the snake's open mouth and then used
his blood control and used the snake's own blood to stand into it's brain.
"Already?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah," Percy replied as he then cut down a hellhound pack by sending a
blast from Zeus's lightning bolt at them.
"That's amazing Percy!"
"Annabeth as much as I love to hear how amazing I am," he then stabbed
a giant bull with red eyes sending it into Tartarus, "I am kind of bust right
now!"

'Not now,'Percy closed the box and then turned to the see large amount of
monster left, he needed something that would end this all quickly.
Something….got it.
Percy put away his sword and the Master Bolt and quickly gathered his
mana. the monster could sense he was trying something but they didn't
dare move to attack him.
Percy then snapped his eyes open, "Heaven's rain!"
Percy felt his mana sour into the sky and mix with the atmosphere above
him. Suddenly the sky became cloudy as rain started to pour over the
battlefield. Percy could feel a connection with eas drop of water and he
used this connection to combine the water droplets into several big bobs of
water.
Percy then turned each blob of water into a spear and sent them all at the
monsters. The demigod were spared, thanks to Percy's control, but the
monster were all killed instantly as the spears tore into them tearing apart
their bodies.
It ended five seconds later. Percy stopped the attack and fell down to his
knees;

Or maybe not. Percy closed the box and quickly all the campers got to the
barricade.
"Are they gone?" Percy heard Clarisse say from behind the barrier.
"Yeah they are gone," Percy replied as slowly the wooden planks and
marble statues came apart allowing the campers to walk into the Arena.
Percy saw the rest of camo was here. Annabeth, Clarisse, Malcolm, Peter,
Michael and everyone else. However a lot of them were missing, maybe
dead. Percy however chose to focus on the living for now. There would be
time to grieve later.
Annabeth then jumped at Percy and hugged him tightly, "thank the gods
you're alright Percy."
Percy smiled as he hugged the girl back,"how is everyone?"
"Most of us are injured," Annabeth repled as she broke the hug, "when the
monster attacked most of us….most of us didn't make it."
"Lucky Ares cabin managed to fight them off long enough for the rest of us
to make it to the weapons shack and grab something to protect ourselves,"
Michael said as he walked up to Percy.
Chapter 126
"That good," Percy replied as he hugged Michael, "I'm glad you're safe
man."
"You too Percy," Michael replied.
"How many injured?"
"30 to 40 campers. Most are just cuts and bruises, but Nina..." Michael
trailed off as he moved back showing the daughter of Hephaestus lying in
the center of the Arena with her chest covered with blood soaked
bandages.
Percy rushed to the girl's side, "Nina? Are you awake?"
The girl opened her eyes and smiled, "hey sea head."
Percy smiled and looked at her injuries, " you got pretty banged up huh?"
Nina grumbled, "they got in a lucky shot. Your armour saved me though."
And at that Percy replied that Nina was wearing his armour, the one he
gave to be fixed before the quest, "sorry I kind of used it."
Percy smiled, "it's okay."
"Nina you need to rest," Michael walked up, "the more you talk the more
blood you lose."
"It's okay Mikey, I'm not going to last long anyway," Nina said with a smile.
Percy frowned at this, "oh hell no. You are not dying on me!"
"Percy we don't have any Ambrosia on hand and by the time we get some
from the Big House..." Michela trailed off in the end.
Percy cursed himself for giving the remaining of his Ambrosia to Ares, he
should have never done that. But there must be something in his inventory
that could be of use. Percy then opened his inventory and quickly found
what he was looking for.

Percy's grin grew wider as he quickly pulled out the potions and staff. He
threw the staff at Michael who caught it. "What is this?"
"A healing staff," Percy replied as he opened one of the potions,
"channelled some magic into it and presto! Instant healing!"
Michela eyes winded, " holy shit!" He then used the staff on Nina while
Percy feed the girl the potion.
"Here Nina drink this, it's a healing potion," Percy said as he put it to her
mouth, "don't worry it tastes like strawberries."
Nina smiled and quickly downed the entire bottle and quickly the colour
returned to her skin as he bleeding stopped.
Percy then realised they now had a crowd around them all staring at Nina's
healing body, "give us room guys."
Immediately they all stepped back as Percy then turned to Nina, "how are
you feeling?"
Nina blinked, "I feel...incredible!" She shouted as she slowly stood up and
moved her arms, "this is amazing!"
Percy grinned, "yeah I know I am."
"Actually Percy I think she meant the potion," Michael said with a snarky
tone.
"Shut up Michael! I'm amazing and that's that!"
"Hey it's not my fault! I'm a child of Apollo, I have to call bull shit when I see
it, it's just in my nature!"
The camper bursted in laughter and for one moment they forgot about the
battle and do what kids their age were supposed to do, laugh and have
fun. Percy then distributed the rest of the potions to be used on campers in
critical condition as Michael used the staff to heal the others.
Percy then gathered with the heads of the cabins, "so what happened here
exactly? How did these things just show up?"
"Well we aren't sure," Annabeth said, "all we remember before the attack
was a loud voice shouting out, 'beast summon!'"
'Luke,' Percy realised, "okay then I think I know who did this."
Clarisse immediately stepped up, "who? Tell me so I can rip that person in
half."
Percy looked at the daughter of Ares and then sighed, "Luke. Luke
summoned those monsters."
Everyone stopped. Annabeth spoke up, "w-what?"
"Luke summoned the monster's here. He is the Lightning Thief. I don't
know why he wanted to attack camp but..."
"No!" Annabeth shouted, "that can't be true!"
"Annabeth he summoned the Chimera to attack me when I found out. It's
him."
"There is no way that's true!" Annabeth shouted out, "why would Luke-"
"It's true," called out a familiar voice.
Percy's eyes shot up as he turned around and saw Luke. "You bastard!"
Percy drew Riptide and charged at Luke only for the strikes to pass right
through him.
"It's a hologram Percy," Luke said turning to him, "I'm not stupid enough to
show my face to you directly."
"Luke did you do it?" Clarisse asked as she gripped her spear, "did you
actually summon those things?"
Luke looked at her then the rest of them and sighed, "yes. Yes I did it."
"Why?!" Michael shouted. Percy then noticed the rest of the camp was now
paying attention to the hologram, everyone was waiting for an explanation.
"Because of the gods."
"Oh here we go again," Percy said rolling his eyes.
"Tell me I'm wrong Percy," Luke said in a daring tone, "where is Dionysos
right now? His duty was to protect this camp and he ignored his duty, just
like the rest of them. We Are used and then thrown aside like trash. Before
Percy came the unclaimed would have gone their whole life without
knowing who their parents were. The Olympians are to blame. All of them,
Zeus Poseidon, Ares and even Hermes."
"So what do you want to do about it?" asked Annabeth as her logical side
took over, "start a bloody war?!"
Luke looked at all the camper before nodding, "yes."
"Then you will lose," Percy replied.
"Maybe not Percy. The gods may treat us like trash but we are their
children. And like Kronos did to his father and Zeus did to his will can fight
and will against the gods! But only if you join me," Luke then looked the
campers with the eyes of a leader, "join me. Join me and fight. Don't just
be a puppet to them any more. Join me and take control over your own
destinies."
Chapter 127
"You first attack us, killing nearly half of us and then you expect us to join
you?!" cried out Travis Stoll.
"You have lost it Luke!" Conner shouted.
"I had to do that," Luke said with regret, "the person who wishes to fight the
gods wanted to kill all of you. He said that you were too great a threat to
him and his plans, but I begged him. I begged him to spare you lives, and
he gave me a choice. Watch as you all die or do it myself and recruit the
ones who lived."
"You are working for a mad man!" Percy shouted.
"Maybe, but he has the power to defeat the gods."
"And that's justifies this attack?!" Clarrises asked.
"If you were to choose between saving a few people by killing of some or
watch as they all died in front of your eyes, what would you pick Clarisse?"
Luke shot back. The daughter of Ares looked at him and then lowered her
head defeated, "I don't care if you hate me. I don't care if you want to kill
me. All I care about is you accepting my offer to join me, so that I don't
have to watch you die."
Percy looked around as the campers. Some looked conflicted, other down
right angry Luke would even ask them to do that. Just as it looked like
some of the unclaimed were about to step up Percy walked forward.
The entire camp went dead quiet as Percy walked to Luke's holographic
form. "Thank you Percy," Luke said with a smile.
"Don't get me wrong Luke. I'm not here to join your bloody crusade. I just
wanted to be closer so that you can see me clearly when I do this," Percy
then lifted both hand up and flipped Like the bird, "fuck you and your stupid
crusade. Yeah the gods hate us, but we aren't selfish enough to destroy
the whole world just to get attention from people who will never love us."
Luke looked Percy and then to rest of the camp. All their faces were set, all
the ones who were doubtful before made their choice. All of the unclaimed
looked to Percy as their hero and he was telling the truth.
Luke looked heartbroken at this, "are you sure? All of you?"
Percy and the rest of the camp nodded.
"Then I can't stop who is to come. All I can do right now is warn you,"
Luke's entire demeanor changed to on of desperation as he shouted,
"RUN AWAY! LEAVE CAMP RIGHT NOW AND RUN! RUN BEFORE HE
GETS THERE AND KILL YOU ALL!"
Then suddenly a hand wrapped around Luke's neck and pulled him aside
as the hologram disappeared. Percy looked at the other, "we should move
right now."
"You don't actually believe him do you?" Michael asked, "he tried to
freaking kill us!"
"Either way he looked dead serious," Percy said as he helped Nina fix her
armour, "we need to go now."
"Ah guys," a son of Athena called out, "what's that?" He pointed at the
night sky and there flying across it was a ball of fire.
Warning! Titan incoming!
Percy's eyes widened at that warning screen, "everybody run!"
The campers moved to get out of the Arena but before they could the ball
of fire landed on the middle of the Arena throwing all of them off their feet.
Percy recovered the fastest and looked up to see a 7 foot tall man with
bronze skin, eyes like mini suns and golden armour. At his side was a
golden blade which was covered in flames but the scariest thing was, so
was he.
Percy looked at this fire man as he lite up the Arena with his presence
alone. Percy quickly Observed him;
Hyperion, Kronos lite
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Race-Titan
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-?
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 like to
torture his enemies before killing them. He is a master at controlling
fire.
He wants to kill Percy.
He is excited to kill a lot of demigods.
Percy looked at this monster, no, this titan in horror. Percy fought Ares just
now, but the god was nothing in fear factor alone when compared to the
thing standing before him.
Percy got up and took the gauntlet of Kefka out. He then walked up to the
titan, "hey flame head!"
The titan turned to Percy, "you talking to me?"
"Who else am I talking to?"Percy said as he took out Riptide and the shield
of Ares as well.
"Insolent brat!" Hyperion then lifted his hand and sent a blast of energy
right at Percy. Thinking on his feet the son of Poseidon lifted his shield up
quickly and batted the blast away sending it to the side of the Arena.
"Percy!" Annabeth cried out.
"I'm fine!" Percy called out, "get everyone out of here!"
"But what about-"
"-I'll be fine, now go!" Percy yelled as he then summoned all his servants at
once, including Cerberus who took up most of the room. Each looked
ready to fight but the moment they saw Hyperion they turned at Percy with
a blank face.
"Why do you keep pissing everyone off boss?" Zed asked.
"Like I was saying the only reason you call us is to fight," Alecto said as
she crossed her arms.
"I don't mind," Marchosias said, thankfully now in her wolf form, "I love a
challenge."
"What sorcery is this?!" Hyperion asked as he looked at the new enemies.
"My kind of sorcery!" Percy yelled out, "Zed, Craig and Cerberus keep the
Titan busy. Alecto and Marchosias get all of the demigods out of here!"
"Right boss!" they yelled as they all jumped to do their jobs. Quickly the
campers began to kile out one by one as Marchosias carried the ones who
can't walk on her back while Alecto had three children hanging off her
neck, "I hate children,"she mumbled but now one was listening to her, all
eyes were on the battle.
Hyperion managed to just doge Cerberus's heads before Zed appeared at
his side and smashed him into the wall of the Arena. Percy then took out
the Master Bolt and pointed it at Hyperion and sent a lightning bolt at him.
BOOM!
The impact was loud as hell as Hyperion was sent out of the Arena through
the wall. Percy and his servants quickly followed through the hole, while
Cerberus just kind of jumped over the Arena.
Hyperion was inside a crater on the ground he formed on impact. He got
up and drew his sword, "you fools! Do you know who I am?!"
"The lollipop man?" Percy asked.
"Good one boss," snickered Zed as Cerberus also barked in approval.
"What?!" Hyperion asked stunned.
"Joke," Percy replied as he and Craig began attacking Hyperion. Their duel
pushed the Titan back and managed to push him to the stream cutting
through camp. The moment he touched the water his body started to
smoke as he slowly began to move slower.
'Weakness to water huh? I can work with that.' Percy then moved back
letting Craig and Zed fight the Titan. He then gathered his mana and sent it
into the sky causing the clouds to darken once again.
Chapter 128
"Heaven's rain!" Slowly it began to rain and Percy reached out to the water.
He turned them into spears and then sent them all right into Hyperion. Zed
and Craig moved back and watched as the Titan became impaled with
water spears.
Slowly steam began to gather around him as Hyperion tried to burn out the
water. Eventually he pulled out the spears and Percy watched as the holes
the spears made started to closed up on their own. The titan then stood up
and roared, "enough of this! I am Hyperion! Titan of the West! I will-"
Boom!
Percy had sent another lightning bolt right into Hyperion's face in the
middle of his speech. The son of Poseidon the promptly fell down to his
knees and started to pant. He used up most of his mana in that last attack,
if Hyperion wasn't down for the count now, he honestly didn't know what
else he can do.
And just when he thought about him, the Titan rose up from the smoking
creator he made, his eyes furious, "HEAT WAVE!" Out of his hands a blast
of fire rocketed out and through Cerberus.
Percy watched as his most powerful monster turned back into smoke.
'Shit!' Percy took the Master Bolt and shot another lightning bolt, but
Hyperior dodged it at the last second and then charged towards Percy.
Craig and Zed intercepted him and they began their battle. Hyperion
blocked both Zed and Craig's blades with his own and then pushed them
back with raw strength. He then charged at Percy who just managed to pull
up Riptide on time as they clashed blades.
This heat coming off the Titan felt like it was going to burn Percy, but the
son of Poseidon focused and quickly disengaged the Titan and ran back as
he blocked every move the Titan made.
"Stay still and fight like a man boy!" Hyperion yelled out as Percy bucked
under one of his swings and sent a kick that hit Hyperion on the jaw.
"No thanks! I would rather live!" Percy's foot was now on fire. He jumped
into the stream and quickly put the fire out, great so he can't touch the guy
without burning up.
Hyperion rubbed his jaw and quickly charged after Percy. He put on foot
into the stream and steam began to flow out. Percy quickly moved back to
avoid most of the Titan's attacks, but just as it looked like Hyperion was
going to cut off Percy head Zed jumped in and helped Percy out.
"You're in the way boy!" Hyperion shouted as he grabbed Zed by the throat
and squeezed turning Zed into smoke.
Percy glared at Hyperion, the fucker was strong. He then commanded the
water up and made to attack Hyperion in the form of a snake.
The Titan however was too fast as he transformed into pure fire and flew
away from the stream towards Percy. Craig then jumped in and pushed
Percy aside as he his body was torn apart by Hyperion's fire tackle.
Percy moved back, he didn't know what to do. He needed a plan to fight
this things and so far he only had one idea, Le Bete.
Percy knew it was the only choice and so he released all of his anger. His
Gamer's mind tried to keep up and suppress his emotions but they were
far too strong. All the death he saw, the betrayals he felt, it all crashed in
and Percy let it all wash through him with a lowered head.
Seeing Percy's lowered head Hyperion smirked, "finally realised who your
superiors are have? Good, now die-" Percy then raised her head up
stopping Hyperion's in his tracks. Those eyes, the same colour as his
brother's. He remembered clearly, they were green, sea green. But now
they were a golden yellow.
Percy then dashed forward with a speed that surprised Hyperion. The Titan
didn't move away in time and Percy slashed Riptide across the man's right
arm. Hyperion jumped back and held his stump of an arm as he roared in
pain, "AHH! You bastard!"
But Percy wasn't listing. There was only one thing on his mind, kill. Percy
charged after Hyperion who managed to block each of Percy's fast strikes
with his left hand. Hyperion then transformed into fire as he tried to run
away.
Percy however wasn't done with the Titan as he lifted one arm and drew
forth the moisture in the air around Hyperion. He then encased the Titan in
a water ball as he squeaked, an action similar to what he did to the
Chimera.
Hyperion, weakened because of the water, transformed back into his Titan
form and flew up into the air so fast the water was stripped away from him.
"Enough! I'll end you now boy!" Hyperion then raised his remaining arm to
the sky and gathered a ball of fire, "HEAVEN'S ARROWS!"
Out of the fireball big flaming arrows were shot out, each aimed at Percy.
Using Le Bete's improved speed Percy managed to dodge most of them.
Each arrow flew but Percy simply moved away before it could attack him.
Hyperion then poured more energy into the attacking causing him to
become dimn but the ball of fire grew bigger as double the amount of
arrows started to fly out. Percy seeing this moved all over camp, He
passed by the cabins, the Mess Hall and finally ended up near the Arena
again where he tripped and fell down.
Percy then got up and saw an arrow flying right at him. He wouldn't be able
to make it. It was to fast. Closing his eyes Percy challenged his remaining
mana into his Marble Skin ability and closed his eyes waiting for the
impact.
Only it never came.
Percy opened his eyes and there in front of him was the fire arrow inches
from his face. But it wasn't moving, it lost all it's thrust. And standing in front
of Percy with the arrow sticking out of her chest was Annabeth.
Percy's eyes slowly began to turn green, "A-annabeth?"
The girl smiled as her blood dripped out of the large gaping wound in her
chest. She then collapsed on the ground and Percy immediately went to
her side, "Annabeth!"
"It;s okay Percy," she said thought pacing breath, "I'm not afraid to die."
"Just hold on I'll get Michael and the Healing Staff! We can fix this!"
Annabeth chuckled a dry laugh, "don't be silly Percy. It's okay. Just...just"
tears flowed out, "just stay by my side. Okay?"
Percy nodded as tears filled his eyes, "okay." He then held annabeth's in
his arms as the girl took her lasts breaths. Percy then looked up at
Hyperion and slowly his eyes glowed in anger.
The Titan felt something, a chill in his spine. He looked at the boy and
suddenly he remembered how his brother Kronos used to behave when he
got angry. It scared Hyperion even now how powerful Kronos got whenever
he was angry. Seeing the same look in Percy Hyperion decided to call it a
day, after all he did what was asked of him, he killed enough demigods for
today.
Hyperion then transformed into a fire ball and flew away leaving the
campers to slowly gather around Annabeth's body.
"She's dead," Malcolm stated and just by doing so it became even more
real.
"Did anyone else get hurt?" Percy asked without looking up from Annabeth.
"Yes," Clarisse said, her voice straining to be audible, "that last attack he
used caused a lot of damage. Some demigods got accidently hit by an
arrow or two. Travis...Travis is dead Percy."
And you shall fail, to ssssave what matters most in the end.
Percy nodded slowly, the pain was to much. His friends were gone and it
was his fault. He wasn't strong enough. He wasn't good enough. The pain
became too much to bare, the guilt, the anger. Slowly Percy allowed
Gamer's mind to take over as it pushed all the emotions down. He knew he
was a coward for doing it, for rejecting the pain, but he didn't care. He just
wanted the pain to stop.
"We should burn them," Clarisse spoke up and she put a hand on Percy's
shoulder, "something tells me that was the last attack, for now."
Percy looked at Annabeth. She looked so peace, almost like she was alive.
She looked like she could get up right now and start lecturing Percy like
she used to. And just then Gamer's mind pushed an idea into his head. An
idea so bizarre and impossible even he didn't think it would work. But he
had to try."No," Percy stated as slowly a little life came into his voice.
"What?" Clarisse asked.
"Percy we can't just leave them here! We can't just leave Annabeth here!"
Michael shouted.
"I said no," Percy said as he laid Annabeth's body on the ground carefully.
He then got up and turned to the rest of the camper. On his face wasn't the
look of sorrow. It wasn't the look of loss. It was the look of pure
determination. "If we burn their bodies, they won't have a vessel to come
back to."
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted.
"What the hell are you talking about Percy?!" Malcolm asked.
"I'm going to bring them back. Each and every one of them."
"And how the hell do you plan on doing that?!" Michael asked still not
believing what Percy was saying.
"Simple, by going to hell," Percy replied as he walked away to his cabin.
"Don't burn them!" He shouted back as he went out of view.
"What should we do?" Asked one of the Demeter kids.
Clarisse looked at Annabeth and then to the sky, "you heard the man. Don't
burn them. If Percy can actually pull this off then great. For now let's gather
all the dead and put them in the med bay."
"And if Percy can't bring them all back?" Asked Malcolm.
"Don't' worry," Nina said drawing everyone's attention to her, "he will."
"And why is that?"
"Because he is Percy Jackson, the miracle maker."
Alright yes let the hate come, but I tell you this don't message things
like, 'oh why did you kill of Annabeth?' The reason is simple, plot. So
yeah next time Percy will go back to the Underworld, obviously.
Questions:
Chimera as Percy's servant: Okay I'm going to be honest here. I
forgot. nd then when I remembered I figured neah, Percy has
Cerberus now and a demon wolf, why the hell would he nee a
Chimera?
Why did I kill Annbeth?: Relax I'm bringing her back, please don't
hate me. T_T
Chapter 129
Percy walked to the Poseidon cabin under the light of the moon and
quickly took out the Space key Persephone gave him. If what she said was
true then if he used this on any door it should bring his to Persephone's
place. Percy put the key into the lock and turned. He pushed the door in
and instead of the inside of Poseidon's cabin it was Persephone's room.
Percy entered and took out the key from the door. He then closed the door
and when he opened it again it was the inside of Hades's palace instead of
camp. Percy ran out of the room and headed to the throne room.
He walked into the throne room and inside he saw Persephone sitting in
the throne with Hades as her foot rest. She looked up in genuine surprise,
"Percy? Your back soon. I know I said to visit when you can but I thought
you might take a few years."
Percy smiled, "I wish, but I'm not here for that. I'm here for Hades."
Hades looked up and slowly stood up. But Persephone then pulled his
chain and force him into his knees, "oh hell no. You can talk but you do it
on you knees."
Hades whimpered but nodded. He then turned to Percy and spoke in a
defeated tone, "so what do you want kid?"
Percy reached into his inventory and pulled out the Helmet of Darkness, "I
want to make you an offer you can't refuse."
Hades's eyes widened at the sight of the helmet and jumped to his feet to
try and get it but Persephone still had the chain and so she pulled him
back to his feet. But Hades didn't look bothered by that and simply looked
at Percy, "okay what do you want?"
Percy smirked on the inside but kept a neutral face with the help of
Gamer's mind, "all the demigods that died today, I want them back."
Hades's eyes widened, "what?! Oh hell no! No deal!"
"Why not?! You let Orpheus do it! He just walked in here, played a flute
and you allowed him to take his lover back! Why not let me do the same,
hell I'll raise you one better, I'm giving you back your freaking symbol of
power!"
"It would have been fine if it was one person, maybe even three. But there
is no way I can let you take 36 people back with you out of this place
without getting into trouble with the Olympians!"
Percy was surprised at the number of people that died but he didn't let that
deter him, "well then let me just take all of them. I'll figure something out,
maybe I can bribe Zeus with his Master Bolt or something."
Persephone then spoke up, "let him do it Hades," the god then turned to
his wife to argue but one look from her and he shut up. Persephone smiled
at that and turned to Percy, "you realise if you do this they will come after
you. The moment you take the souls out of the DOA they will be on you like
hellhounds on meat. They might just send an Olympian to take you down,
probably Ares."
Percy smiled, "I don't think Ares is going to do any moving around for some
time. But that's not the point. I am willing to take that risk. Just give me a
chance to save them that's all I ask. Do that and I'm willing to give back the
helmet to you and loan you Cerberus."
Persephone smiled at that, "loan? I didn't realise he was yours now."
Percy shrugged, "he took a liking to me. Something about it being too
depressing in the Underworld."
Lie Succeeded!

Persephone nodded at that and then turned to Hades, "what do you think
of that husband?"
Hades started to sweat, "anything you say dear."
The goddess then turned to Percy and snapped her fingers. In front of the
demigod appeared a brown clay pot with a leather strap around it;
Container of souls;
Allows the containment of souls inside of it.
"That will allow you to carry the souls of your friends from out of this place,"
Persephone explained, "once you reach near their bodies only then
release them, if not your friends souls will not know where to go and be
forced to roam the world as ghosts."
"And what about their wounds? Like one of them had a big ass fire arrow
pierced through her," Percy asked.
Persephone waved the question away, "not a problem. The moment the
souls enter the body all mortal wounds will automatically heal."
Percy nodded as he put the pot into his inventory. He then picked up the
helmet and gave to Hades who accepted it gratefully.
"Thanks, maybe you're not that bad, for a son of Poseidon," Hades said as
he clicked his fingers causing the helmet to vanish in a swirl of shadows.
Percy nodded, "thanks. And you aren't that bad of a guy, even though you
kidnapped my mom and held her for ransom. In fact you probably are my
favorite uncle, that I have met…."
"Well it's either me or Zeus, and you haven't even met him," Hades replied
with a 'really?' look.
