章節 115: PJ610
Chapter 603
"Alright, here are the rules," Percy began, "no littering, seriously, you
dirty this place I will throw you into a lake. Also if anyone wants to there
are several Porta potties outside, one for the guys, one for the girls and
one exclusively for the Ares kids."
"Hey! That's segregation!" Peter roared out.
"Thems the rules Pete," Percy shrugged, "alright, now, Katie," Percy
called out, "you have it?"
The daughter of Demeter had a huge smile plastered on her face, "got
it!" She jumped down towards Percy with a huge duffel bag around her
had. She took it off and opened it up searching inside for a bit before
pulling out several bottles of orange cider.
"Sweet," Percy picked one up and Observed it;
Happy Fruit juice,
Cider taken out of the Happy fruit, diluted, it makes the drinker
feel happy for 2 hours.
"What is that?" Annabeth asked.
"My secret recipe," Katie replied grinning like an idiot, "I call it the
Happy Happy juice!"
Percy narrowed his eyes, "did you drink some of this before you came
here?"
Katie giggled, "hehe, maybe."
"Okay, what exactly is this happy happy juice?" Michael asked as
slowly all the demigod gathered around filling up the bottom level
surrounding the hearth.
"It basically makes people happy for 2 hours time," Katie explained,
"it's like super good. Percy gave me a Happy fruit and I used my
powers to create more of it and boom, happy happy juice."
"So it's a drug?" Annabeth asked.
"No," Percy quickly replied, "it doesn't have any sideeffects. So no, it's
not a drug."
"But it is addicting!" Katie replied in a melodious voice, "like I had four
bottles before I came here!"
"Katie you may want to hold back," Percy said nervously, "like
seriously, you're starting to scare me."
"Ah ha! So it is a drug!" Annabeth exclaimed.
"No!" Percy hissed back, "I didn't help create a drug!"
"Does it make people addicted?"
"YES!" Katie shouted as she hugged Clarisse tightly as the daughter of
Ares tried her best to push the girl off of her.
"Does it make you feel high?"
"Well..." Percy looked at Katie as she tried to kiss Clarisse on the
cheeks much to Michael's awe, "...yes."
"Then it's a drug," Annabeth huffed.
"Percy….did you just help create a drug?" Thalia asked in awe.
Percy gulped, "ah...I plead the fifth?"
"Dude, I didn't realise you could be so cool!" Michael shouted out as he
jumped on Percy giving his friend a big hug, "I'll never question your
awesomeness again!"
"Neah, you're just saying that because you're hoping to get a
threesome with me and Clarisse," Katie stuck her tongue out at
Michael who blushed on que.
"N-no I'm not!" Michael roared back.
"Really?" Katie sighed, "that's too bad. I would totally be down for that."
Michael paused for a second, he looked like Thalia had just hit him with
a lighting bolt. He slowly turned to Percy, his movement looked forced,
like a his bones had somehow rusted. He looked at the son of
Poseidon, "Percy….give me that juice."
Percy stepped back, "ah, maybe we should get cups or something."
Michael narrowed his eyes, "juice. Now."
"Dude, your kinda scaring me," Percy took another step back.
Michael started to drool, Percy didn't need to read his mind to know
what he was thinking of. He looked like a zombie as he eyed the bottle
in Percy's hands, "juice….juice….juice."
Smack!
Clarisse hit Michael across the face snapping him out of his zombie
like trance, "stop acting like an idiot."
Michael rubbed his cheeks, "sorry, super tempting. The image of you
and-"
"-Okay we don't need to know that," Selina shouted stopping Michael in
his tracks, "but now I totally need some of that juice!"
"Why?" Charles asked.
"Because I want to see you smile Charlie," Selena grinned as she
grabbed a plastic cup form the table of liquor. She presented it to
Percy, "fill it up."
Percy nodded, "sure, everyone grab a cup," Percy then began to pour
the happy happy juice for everyone there. He didn't give them all a full
cup, this stuff was like Nectar, a little was enough for the effects to take
over.
Soon everyone had a shot glass amount of the drink in hand. Percy
lifted his up in the air, "to camp half-blood!"
"TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD!" the demigods cheered as they drowned
their drinks in a single swing, and instantly the effect of the juice
activated.
A smile came on everyone's face, even Percy's. This stuff somehow
worked over Gamer's body and mind affecting him in a way not even
alcohol could. But considering it came from a fruit he's got as a loot
item that was to be expected.
Ping!
You have consumed Katie's 'Happy Happy juice'! You will be
happy for the next 2 hours!
"Let's party!" Castor, the son of Dionysus shouted as he cracked open
a bottle of beer chugging it down without a second thought.
Everyone was moving, the Apollo kids got up on the marble platform
around the hearth and started to sing and play, it was a good thing
Percy asked them to bring their instruments.
Soon everyone was all over the place. The Athena kids drank more
than anyone else, this was a rare thing for them, Percy had never seen
such a drastic change in behaviour. Hades, Annabeth even got on
stage and started to dance like no one was watching, and soon her
siblings joined her as well.
The Ares kids started to wipe out all the food on the table, luckily Percy
had a lot more stored up in his inventory, they wouldn't be running out
any time soon.
Soon everyone was smiling and having a good time. It seemed that
Katie's extreme reaction to the Happy Happy juice was a child of
Demetre thing as only her and her siblings acted like they were high.
The first thing they did was open the vodka, something simple to ease
the beginners into. Percy poured the drinks while Castor and the other
more experienced drinkers made sure they first timers dranks properly.
Soon everyone there had a cup in hand dancing like there was no
tomorrow.
Percy stood to the side with a smile on his face. He took a sip from his
cup of rum as he watched everyone having a good time. They
deserved it, they had worked hard, they needed a break.
Chapter 604
Percy looked at the barrier Hestia put up and he could already feel it
growing stronger;
Hestia's Protection,
Anyone you, Percy Jackson, call an enemy will be unable to enter
this building.
Strength- strong enough to repel a minor nature spirit.
"You know I really am surprised," Thalia walked up to Percy with a cup
in hand and a smile on her face, "I didn't really think you had it in you."
Percy chuckled as Thalia wrapped her arms around his neck pushing
him down on the ground on top of a pillow. She straddled him with her
legs as Percy wrapped his arms around her.
"You and Michael both," Percy smiled as he kissed her deeply tasting
the Happy Happy juice on her lips, "you having a good time?"
"Yeah, but you still look like you have a huge stick up your ass," Thalia
hummed as she kissed his neck slowly tracing her lips down his neck
sending small bolt of electricity down his skin.
Percy shuddered at the feeling, "goddamn it woman, you know me too
well."
"Yeah, I know," Thalia moved back looking at him with concerned eyes,
"what's wrong?"
"It's nothing it's…." Percy sighed, he wanted to lie and say everything
was fine, but he couldn't' not to her. "I'm worried, about everything. The
war, the Titans, the Gods, the demigods, what the future will hold….I'm
just so worried."
"You put too much responsibility on your shoulders Percy," Thalia said
in an understanding tone, "especially when you take other people's
problems and make them your own."
"What do you mean?"
"Kronos and the Titans are my problem remember? I'm the one who
has to fight them."
"And your problems are my problems," Percy stated as he drew her
closer placing his head on her neck, "you think I'm just not going to
worry about the monsters my girlfriend has to face? Sorry Thalia, but if
it's your problem then it's my problem."
"Fine, fair enough, but what about everything else? The world isn't your
problem Percy, the demigods, while family, isn't your problem. Believe
me, they have survived long before we came and they will do so after
we die. Same for the world."
"Yeah...but Thalia I can make it better, I can change everything.
Demigods don't' have to die at 20 thanks to the Haven. Which I remind
you exists because of me interfering. And I remember what happened
in that other world Thalia, that world filled with heroes, they didn't just
hide in one corner when the world needed them, no, they stood out in
the light and fought back, they fought for the world, for the future."
"And you think you have to do the same?" Thalia asked, "that's not fair.
Why you? Why us? Why can't it be someone else?"
"Who else but us? Who is stronger? Who else would be willing to do
what is needed?"
"So that's it? You just want to give your life up for someone else?"
Percy shook his head, "no, not someone else, you, and every other
demigod here and in camp."
Thalia pulled away from Perry and looked at him, "Percy you promised
me you will always come back to me," Percy nodded, "thank you for
that. But I want one more promise from you."
"Anything."
"If there comes a time when you have to chose between the world and
your happiness, you must pick the thing that makes you happy."
Percy chuckled, "isn't that just a tad bit insensitive?"
Thalia shook her head, she don't look like she was laughing, she was
deadly serious, "no, it isn't. Of all the people I know you are the one
who needs some fucking happiness in your life. You, not me, not the
camp."
"You make me happy Thalia," Percy kissed her on the check, "don't'
you see that?"
"So let's say Kronos captures me or something, would you come for
me?"
"Is that really a question?"
"Okay, fair enough, how about….if you had to chose between me and
saving Olympus, what would you pick?"
"You," Percy replied without a moment's hesitation.
Thalia smiled, "good boy," she leaned in and kissed him for all he was
worth. She grabbed his jacket collar and pulled him close grinding on
his crotch.
They broke the kiss and Percy smiled, "you know I think the Happy
Happy juice might be working a little too well."
Thalia chuckled, "yeah, maybe," she got off of Percy and helped him
up, "come on, we have a party to enjoy."
Percy nodded as the couple walked back to the gathered demigods.
Percy was still worried, but for now he put that all to the side, he didn't
care for any of it. For now, just this moment, he was happy.
Suddenly Michael jumped out of the group of gathered demigods and
made a mad dash for the bottles of Happy Happy Juice.
"Micheal! Drop that bottle of Happy juice!" Percy ran to stop his friend.
"No Percy! I'm getting my threesome!" Michael yelled as he grabbed
the remaining happy juice running around the Hearth like a man
possessed.
"Get him!" Clarisse yelled as everyone ran off chasing the son of
Apollo.
Outside;
Dionysus and Chiron stood outside the Hearth looking down at the
demigods.
"How did you know about this place lord Dionysus?" Chiron asked.
"I'm the god of parties, you think I wouldn't know that the kids were
throwing one?" Dionysus said with a shrug as he gulped down the rest
of his diet coke.
"I must admit this is certainly surprising," Chiron smiled, "but they
deserve it."
"So we aren't going to punish them?" Dionysus asked with a raised
eyebrow.
"No, I don't' think we should. They need this, they have far too much
weighing on their shoulders, let them have their fun," Chiron chuckled
as he saw Percy tackle Michael to the ground grabbing a bottle of what
looked like apple cider.
"Hmph, you're growing soft Chiron," Dionysus snapped his fingers
sending an invisible wave of energy over the demigods.
"What did you do?" Chiron asked.
"I gave them my blessing," the god of wine stated, "now they won't end
up with a hangover the next day."
Chapter 605
Chiron smiled, "that is very kind of you lord Dionysus," the god
grumbled under his breath but said nothing. Chiron turned back to the
demigods and noticed Percy looking right at him. The legendary trainer
was surprised, he didn't expect Percy to notice him, Dionysus was a
god and Chiron was a master of stealth, how a mere demigod could
pick them out….it was unnerving.
"He must have sensed my spell," Dionysus hummed as he noticed
Percy looking at them.
"Maybe," Chiron waved and Percy waved back. Quickly the demigod
turned back to his party, an unspoken agreement ran between the two,
Percy wouldn't react to Chiron and the trainer wouldn't stop the party.
"He's gotten too powerful," the god frowned, "Zeus is worried about
that he might become a threat."
"He won't be," Chiron assured the God, "he considers the demigods his
family. He would never betray them."
"And what of the Gods?" Dionysus summoned a new bottle of coke
cracking it open, "from what I understand he only likes a handful of us,
and I'm not on that list."
"As long as we don't betray him he won't betray us."
"Why do you have such faith in him?"
"Because….because he's my student."
"Tell me has he even taken a single lesson from you?"
"Does that not make him my student?" Chiron shot back, "in the end it
doesn't matter. I have put my faith in him before and was not lead
astray. He has done so much for demigods it is almost akin to the tasks
of Hercules."
"Fine, I'll judge him based on his actions, not on his sayings," the god
grumbled, "still I don't like it. He could hate us and we wouldn't even
know about it. For all we know we could be hosting our own weapon of
destruction."
"I doubt that's true," Chiron stroked his beard, "after all there isn't much
the Gods don't know. Despite Percy's power I doubt even he could hide
his actions fully from the Gods."
Dionysis nodded, "agreed….nothing can remain hidden for long."
Unknown to both the camp workers a third figure was hidden right next
to them. This figure hide herself using the Mist manipulating it so
skillfully not even a God like Dionysus could see through it. In effect
she was invisible to the world, but she could see it just fine.
The blue haired woman smirked as she heard Chiron and Dionysus
speak, it was almost ironic, no, wait, it was ironic. Like the textbook
definition of ironic. The woman shook her head chuckling under her
breath, 'those two are still so funny.'
She turned to look into the Hearth and at the demigods. A smile came
on her lips as her eyes became glazed. It was almost heart aching to
see all that happiness and not join in. But she kept her distance, after
all it wasn't time to reveal herself, not just yet.
"Thalia get back here!" Percy shouted as he ran after a half drunk
Thalia who had stolen his jacket.
The blue haired woman chuckled, 'they are certainly a lively bunch.
Almost makes me wish for...no, no don't think about it. Just...sigh, just
focus on the task at hand. You have waited for so long, you can wait a
little bit longer.'
"You better catch me sweetheart!" Thalia roared as she jumped from
seat to seat with the jacket flying behind her, "or else I'm going to throw
up all over it!"
"I hate it when you get drunk!" Percy yelled as he chased his girlfriend,
"you always act like an idiot!"
"Hey! You take that back!"
"Fine! You act like Micheal!"
"I think I liked being called an idiot," Thalia frowned as Percy zoomed
to her side grabbing his jacket and pulling her close. Thalia laughed as
Percy wrapped his arms around her once more, "okay fine, you caught
me. Now what do you plan to do with me?"
Percy smiled, "I have a couple of ideas," he kissed her as slowly they
ignored everything else happening around them.
The blue haired woman sighed, 'damn, now I'm depressed. Sigh, why
oh why did you ever think this would be a good idea?'
Chiron and Dionysus left after a few more minutes, but the blue haired
woman stayed. She looked as the demigods slowly began to go to
sleep. They all wrapped themselves up in blankets and slept on the
floor of the Hearth. Pillows were used generously as Percy had gotten
way too many of them.
Percy and Thalia slept right next to the Hearth, they had a thick blanket
over them as they snuggled in close. Slowly one by one they all fell
asleep. Even Michael, who was tied up for the majority of the party,
was now snuggled up close to his girlfriend.
Once everyone was off to the realm of Morpheus the mysterious blue
haired woman walked into the Hearth. She bypassed the wards like
they were nothing. She slowly walked past all of the sleeping faces,
each so young and innocent, she felt pity and pain knowing what they
would have to face.
Finally she reached Percy and Thalia. She looked at them and smiled,
Thalia had her head snuggled into Percy's' neck, it fitted perfectly as
Percy wrapped an arm around her warm body pulling her close.
The woman knelt down over Percy's head, "when we meet everything
will change. I'm sorry it has to be this way, I promise I'll do my best to
lift some of this burden off your shoulders Percy, but in the end only
you and Thalia can end this, only you two are destined to."
She bent down and pressed her lips up against Percy's. It was warm
with the taste of apple cider hitting her strongly. She broke it and waited
for him to react, nothing, the demigod was knocked out like a log.
So she kissed him again, this time it lasted longer, it was almost like
she was memorising how it felt. And then like a shadow in the night she
was gone. It was almost instant, one moment she was there, the next
she wasn't.
Percy's eyes fluttered as he woke up. He felt something strange on his
lips, something warm. He looked around, nothing was out of the
ordinary, maybe it was nothing. After all his Area sence would have
notified him if it was.
Percy brought his hands to his face and felt his lips. They were warm
and wet, maybe Thalia had kissed him in her drunken stupor? But just
then Percy felt something, a single wet spot on his cheek, a tear drop
and it was freshly made.
Percy turned to Thalia, 'was she crying?' He couldn't tell, there were no
tears streaks on her face, but it didn't matter. Percy quickly drew her
closer wrapping both arms around her.
Thalia reacted to the warm embrace by snuggling closer, "I love you
Percy," she muttered as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Percy smiled, "I love you Thalia."
Chapter 606
Percy took a deep breath and let it out. He opened his eyes, he floated
in mid-air staring up at the red sky.
He looked down, the city of New York stood before him in ruins. The
entire south of the city was destroyed by an artificial tsunami Percy had
made. A few buildings in upper town were leveled flat thanks to Percy
throwing buildings around using his super strength and Mid town was
now laid in ruins thanks to Percy's molecular manipulation skill.
All this destruction had taken him a day to completely inside his time
dilation ID, and it was all in the name of training. After all he was
extremely powerful now, him destroying cities is now basically a regular
workout.
Of course it wasn't all just chaos, there was a reason for it. The first
being improving his control over water;
Water Controlling Lv-29 (61%)
Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water.
You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your
every command.
Cost-1 MP per minute
Special attack- Water Spikes-800 Damage cost 110 MP
Special defence- Water shield-1000/1000 Durability cost 50 MP
Special control- Blood control-cost 20 MP per minute. (Can
control those who are weaker than you and those 10 level above
you.)
Special control- Moisture control- cost same as water control + 5
MP
Special defence- Water armour- X/X durability cost- 100 MP + X
amount of water available
Special control- Water construction- Create structure out of the
water- 50 MP per liter of water.
This was Percy's strongest skill and the one he was most used to using
in an emergency. No matter how many different powers he got, Percy
would always be a son of Poseidon, the water was a part of him on a
basic level.
Percy had also trained his water storm skill, the same one which
helped him fight off Darkseid and Argo;
Water Storm, Lv- 12 (23%)
Forms a storm by drawing water from all available sources.
50 mana per 10 liters of water used
Damage- Depends on the affected area.
It was a big improvement, Percy mainly used this attack as an area
attack, causing mini whirlpools on land or sea.
Percy has also been training in his ability to control fish. Ever since he
saw what Aquaman could do with them…..well let's just say Percy
didn't like being the second best at anything;
Control Aquatic life, Lv- 5 (89%)
You have the ability to control creature from the sea or those who
need water to live.
Range- 50 feet
Can control- normal life forms
The skill was a strange one, Percy already had the ability to control
fish, thanks to his status as his dad's son,
Status- demigod, giving Percy - +11 VIT, +11 DEX and the ability to
breath underwater, enhanced strength, communicate with fish,
create earthquakes, talk to horses, control water and look cool.
Percy wasn't a slouch thoug. He grinded that skill away as much as he
could, it was difficult at first, almost impossible even. The fishes had a
very low attention span, didn't really take to the more complicated of
Percy's orders. But soon it became easy, the trick was to focus on
simple commands. Soon Percy became skilled at it, it was just like his
ability to talk to horses and dogs.
Percy had also trained up his ice control;
Ice control, Lv- 19 (10%)
Allows the user free control over the element of ice.
Cost- 10MP per foot of ice created
Max size- 230 foot
Special skill;
Snow creation/control- Lv- 13 create snow. Cost- 20 MP per inch
Heat absorption- Lv- 9, absorb the heat from your surroundings.
Cost- 200 MP per second of heat absorption.
The snow creation skill wasn't really a surprise, it was the next logical
step for his ice control skills. But the heat absorption thing….well now
that was unique.
Percy had gotten that particular skill when his ice control went past
level 10. It kind of just showed up, maybe it was a type of reward or
something. Either way it was usefull.
The next skill allowed him to absorb heat, causing the area around him
to turn frigid, arctic even. He used it once when he was sparring
against Zed, it surprised the servant long enough for Percy to knock
him out with ease.
Plus it was super usefull to beat the summer heat. When Thalia
realised he could do this she basically made him reduce the
temperature in any room they were in to 21 degrees celsius. Soon
other people realised what he could do and Percy basically became
the walking air conditioning unit of camp half-blood.
Percy had also made some minor improvement to his shadow control,
not much, just a few level ups;
Shadow control, Lv-16 (+10= Lv-26)(20%)
Where the user can control shadows and manipulate them.
Cost- 35 MP (- 50 MP= 0 MP)
Shadow explosion- 1,500 Damage (+500 Damage=2,000 damage )
cost 500 MP250 MP250 MP)
Shadow Grapple launcher – Launches a tendril of shadows that
acts as a grapple to pull user. Cost – 50 MP (-80 MP = 0 MP)
Shadow lockpicking, Lv- 5/5 (0%)
Creates a tendril of shadows that can be used to open any
mechanical lock.
Limits- complicated locks with delicates systems.
The best thing about this was that the armband of cerberus made
Percy basically amazingly
awesome at shadow control. Thanks to that this was one of the most
useful skills he had.
And apart from those main three elemental controls Percy also
increased his strength;
STR-115(+20 + 75 )=200
And also his Vit;
VIT-109(+11+20)=140
He didn't improve much for his Dex and Wis;
DEX-56(+11+20)=87
WIS-62
But he didn't improve his Int by a solid 20 points;
INT-120
This was mostly because Annabeth forced Percy and Thalia to learn for
the coming school year. She had been relentless, Thalia at one point
got so irritated by Annabeth's constant tutoring she started to fly away
any time Annabeth approached them.
So Annabeth stopped focusing on Thalia and aimed for Percy instead.
Hence it became normal for anyone who meet him for Percy to have a
book in hand.
When he was out training the other demigods he would have a book to
read. While he was training his other skills, he would have a book to
read. He even spent a lot of time in his ID in order to get more study
time.
Chapter 607
Well...he didn't want to, but Annabeth kind of forced him to. And in
order to make sure he studied she tagged along, Percy would have
thought it was a selfless act, if Annabeth wasn't also using the time
dilation ID to squeeze in more study time.
But Percy couldn't complain, mostly because even if he did no one
would care. So he read. He read, and he kept reading.
At first he decided to read up all he would learn in high school. He
learnt physics, math, chemistry, history, english. And his skill in the
theoretical subject skills rose;

This of course also resulted in him improving his reading skills;
Language: Modern English, Lv-34 (64%)
Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia, but with hard
work you have overcome your disabilities and you're reading is
now near grade level-College ++
+102% reading speed
And since Percy kept using his ID's so much that also leveled up;
ID Create, Lv-25 (12%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the
dungeon.
Current list-
Empty Dungeon- no monsters.
Monster Dungeon- Zombies
Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp
Arena Dungeon – Mountain/ Island/ Swamp/ Forest/ Plains
Empty Dungeon – Time dilation (1/5)
Monster Dungeon- Parademon invasion
ID Escape, Lv-25 (12%)
Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.
This didn't do much, just improved the amount of time Percy could
spend in his ID. He liked that bit, he also checked out the new dungeon
he unlocked. It basically recreated the Darkseid invasion, putting up a
fake Metropolis that was sharing with Parademons for Percy to destroy.
Darkseid was the main boss, and Percy didn't have any help, unlike the
real battle.
So far he didn't have time to check it out fully, he was very very busy,
what with the reading and the training and all that. But he swore he
would check out latter, well...whenever later was anyway.
Percy also improved other skills;
Telekinetic flight, Lv- 12 (0%)
By pushing on the ground and the air via your telekinetic field you
have obtained the ability to fly!
Speed - 100 Kms/ Hr
Molecule manipulation, Lv- 31 (08%)

Your control over this ability is at practitioner's level, you can
scan the object and manipulate it paying great attention to the fine
details.

Scan- Allows you to have a scanned mental image of the object
you wish to manipulate. Also allows for a very detailed
manipulation of said object. Rage- 40 feet
Rush- You can program the molecules to act in a certain way
without your attention.
Cost- 500 MP per 15,000 pounds of mass
He was now faster when flying, but never really used this skill in the
real world, he so did not want to get on Zeus's bad side. He could now
travel pretty fast, but Thalia was still faster, something she loved
mentioning over and over again.
And the molecular manipulation ability was really coming along well
nicely, especially since Percy kept using it to build more and more
buildings in his Haven. He especially like the new sub-skill he got,
Rush. It basically allowed him to program something and forget about
it. It was the ultimate multitasking tool.
Telekinesis, Lv-23 (80%)
The physic ability to move objects with your mind.
Range- 75 feet (Exception- Any object present on the surface you
stand on or interact with can be manipulated by your mind.)

Carrying Multiple item, Lv-8 - Carry multiple items, Max- 12
(Exception- 'X' number of objects can be manipulates and carried
as long as they are present on the surface you stand on or
interact with can be manipulated by your mind.)
This was something that just automatically leveled itself up as Percy
kept using his tactile telekinetic skills. It wasn't much, but it was usefull.
Percy had gotten much better at it, hell he could now lift a Legion
zombie up fully with his mind.
He also improved his super strength;
Super strength- You can exert extra force through a combination
of your mind and body simulating super strength.
STR- + 75
And his Second skin force field;
Second skin force field- An invisible force field around your body
that simulates invulnerability. This force field covers your whole
body and cannot be felt by others unless you wish them to.
Defence - 500
And surprisingly thanks to all these improved skill Tactile telekinesis
also leveled up. It seems that Tactile Telekinesis only levels up once all
the abilities under it goes above level 10. It was a brutal skill to level
up, but thankfully the reward for the level up was well worth the effort;
Force field- create a force field around you. Size- based on user.
Limit- Concentration of user.
Percy had flipped when he got this skill, literally. He was flying and
when he saw this skill he literally back flipped and nearly broke his
head on the ground due to his lack of focus.
This skill was basically the ultimate defence tool. It followed the basis
on his material enforcement skill, as long as Percy could handle it his
force field wouldn't break.
And obviously Percy had to test out his theory.
So first he had Zed punch it with his full strength. It didn't budge an
inch. He then had Marcia blast it with the strongest demon curse she
knew. It shifted a bit, but that was mostly because Percy didn't want to
risk getting hit by magic, he didn't know if his force field could block
that. But apparently it could.
Chapter 608
After that came Cerberus who basically picked up the force field, with
Percy inside it, and started using the spherical ball as a chew toy.
Needless to say that was not an experience Percy wanted to repeat,
but at least now he knew that his force field could also stand being the
chew toy of the guardian of Hades.
Then came the ultimate test, Haki. Percy had Alcyoneus punch the
force field with all the Giant had. The defense skill lasted 5 seconds.
It wasn't because of the Haki alone though, it was that plus Alcyoneus'
insane strength. It seemed Haki was a sort of equalizer, it brought it
down to a battle of wills, and that was a battle between Percy's mind
over Alcyoneus fist. Needless to say the Giant won.
So yes, he had to work on it a bit, but at least it provided some form of
defence from Haki attacks. In the end Percy was happy, he had gotten
a pretty cool skill, maybe with some more training it could actually
serve as a trump card of sorts.
Percy sighed, he slowly lowered himself down to the destroyed city and
floated down towards his mom's apartment. He slipped into a nearby
alley way and put one hand up, 'ID Escape.'
The red sky shattered as Percy slipped back into the real world. All the
damage he caused vanished before his eyes, Percy smirked, he loved
that part.
The son of Poseidon looked down, luckily his little work out didn't ruin
any of his clothes, unlike the first time he tried destroying a building. He
wore a white button up t-shirt with black slacks and shiny black leather
shoes. And of course his ever present leather jacket that Thalia gave
for his birthday.
His mother had contacted him the day before, she told him that she
and Kate were throwing a little get together at Kate's place for
something and she wanted him to come. She specified again and
again that he must wear formal clothes and look proper. It was a pain,
but Percy didn't want to disappoint his mother.
Percy checked his watch, he was on time. He had actually come a little
early, so he spent the extra time working out in his ID, no need to
waste going early to a party that he already didn't want to go to.
After checking his clothes one more time Percy made his way inside.
He quickly reached the third floor and knocked on Kate's door. He
waited for a few seconds before it opened up revealing Alexis standing
on the other side.
"Percy!" Alexis exclaimed as she stepped forward wrapping Percy in a
hug, "it's so nice to see you again."
"Hey Alexis," Percy hugged her back before stepping back to admire
her dress, "you look amazing."
"Oh, thanks," the pretty red head smiled. She wore a red blouse and
skirt with just a touch of makeup on. Her red hair flowed freely down
her shoulders, it honestly reminded Percy of Artemis.
"You clean up nice Percy," Alexis said as she stepped aside allowing
Percy inside the apartment.
"Thanks, I try," Percy smiled as he took off his jacket and hung it up on
the coat rack.
"And you look a lot different," the redhead commented looking Percy
up and down, "like a lot different."
"Puberty has it's advantages," Percy chuckled, "though the side effect
can be kind of...well, you know."
"Yeah, I know," Alexis chuckled, "but hey look at it this way, only three
more years to go."
"Yay," Percy cheered enthusiastically. Alexis took him to the living room
where Percy realised how small of a gathering this really was. And by
small he meant like a hand full of people.
"Percy," Sally called out as she quickly approached the demigod
hugging her son, "right on time."
"Oh please, you would have killed me if I wasn't," Percy chuckled as
they broke the hug. Percy then turned to Kate and smiled, "hey
detective."
"Nice to see you again Percy," Kate smiled.
"Hello Percy," Castle spoke up besides Kate with a sly smile on his
face, "or should I say, junior detective."
"Stop it Castle," Kate swatted him playfully, "he's not a detective."
"Why not?"
"Because he's a kid."
"Who solved a case quicker than you."
"He got lucky."
"Weren't you the one who said in this line of work there was no such
thing as luck?" Kate grumbled but said nothing back.
Percy smiled, "guess those two didn't change."
"No, they didn't," a new voice called out. Percy turned and noticed
Chad and Diana Rebowl, the parents of the two kidnapped people
Percy had found.
Percy smiled as he turned to Chad who had spoke, "nice to see you
again sir."
"On please young man, call me Chad," the farmer smiled, and this
wasn't the fake smile he had before, it was a real smile. And it could
light up the entire room. Guess finding one's missing children did that
to a man.
"How have you been?" Percy asked shaking the man's hand.
"Good, good," Chad smiled.
"We can't thank you enough for what you did Percy," Diana smiled
sweetly at the boy, "you gave us our worlds back and…..and" she
broke down into tears.
"Oh come now dear you're embarrassing the poor boy," Chad chuckled
as he patted his wife's back.
"Oh you," Diana sniffed as she smiled wiping away her tears. She
looked at Percy and smiled, "thank you Percy, thank you so so much."
She stepped forward and wrapped the demigod in a big hug causing
him to stiffen at the surprising motion before emailing.
"You're welcome," Percy smiled and hugged her back. Diana soon let
go as Sally and Castle guided the women to the kitchen to talk to her,
leaving Percy with Chad and Kate.
"So how are Angelina and Mark?" Percy asked Chad.
The farmer smiled, "they're doing fine, considering, in fact they are up
stairs right now, in Alexis room, I believe the young girl is entertaining
them."
Percy nodded, he noticed Alexis had slipped away after Percy meet his
mom, guess that's where she went.
"They were released from the hospital just a few days ago," Kate
informed Percy, "doctor's said they are perfectly fine."
"Physically yes," Chad's face grew dark, "who knows what the bitch did
to their heads."
"It's okay Chad, she'll get what's coming to her," Kate said putting a
comforting hand on the man's shoulder.
"When's her trial?" Percy asked.
"In a few weeks time," Kate told him, "but we already know the verdict."
"What is it?"
"Insanity," Chad spat out, "she'll be sent to a mental asylum. If you ask
me that's kind, someone as dangerous as her needs to be hanged."
"She's insane Mr. Rebowl," Kate argued, "she needs help."
"Did you see what she did to my kids detective Beckett?" Chad
snapped back, "did you?"
"Yes, I did," Kate's face took on one of horror and regret, "and I know in
very graphic detail what she did. But the psychiatrist said she was
insane, meaning she needs help, not jail."
"She will never be part of normal society, nor should she," Chad
grumbled.
"I agree," Kate nodded, "but…."
"But?" Percy prompted.
"Well it was the strangest thing," Kate shook her head, "after her
psychological assessment she just….well she broke down. She started
crying, staring telling anyone who would listen how sorry she was. It
was like she understood what she did was wrong."
"Then why isn't she in prison?" Chad asked, "I mean a psychopath is
called that because they don't understand what's right and what's
wrong correct? Then if she understands what she did then isn't crazy."
"Yes but the doctor said this might just be a temporary sign of clarity,
like a junkie going clean before a relapse."
"So what? She suddenly grew a conscious?" Chad asked.
"Maybe," Kate sighed, "honestly we don't know. She could be faking it,
or she could not be. Either way it's out of our hands now. Hopefully
she'll get the help she needs."
"That monster doesn't deserve any help," Chad spat as he took a
swing of the whiskey he was currently holding in his hand.
"Percy why don't you go upstairs and see Alexis and the other's," Kate
prompted, obviously she didn't want him hearing what they were
discussing.
Percy nodded, he took the hint, "yeah. Got it." He turned to Chad, "I'll
you see later sir."
The man gave Percy a sad smile and the demigod quickly left the two
adults. Percy went to the side of the apartment where a set of stairs
lead up to the second floor where Alexis was staying.
Chapter 609
While he walked up those stairs he thought of what the two adults
spoke about. They were talking about Carol, the girl who kidnapped the
kids Percy was searching for. She took them and tortured them. But it
wasn't her fault, kind of.
She was sick in the head, Percy's powers discovered that she had an
alliment that made her crazy. That was the reason she acted like that,
she wasn't some nut, she was sick. And Percy healed her, a decision
he always second guessed.
But at least now it seems the girl will be getting the help she needs.
On the second floor hallway of the apartment were several rooms,
each with a label on the front. The first one on Percy's left was labeled
'Alexis' written in pink glitter with butterflies drawn all along the door's
frame.
Percy chuckled, it was honestly kind of cute. He knocked on the door
gently and waited. It swung open revealing a pair of green marbles that
Percy had seen before.
"Hello Angelina," Percy smiled at the girl. She looked healthier than
before. But considering the last time Percy saw her she was basically a
corpse that wasn't saying much. Her body didn't look anorexic, if
anything she had put on a few healthy pounds. Her cheeks were full
along with her dress. The only thing that damaged this vision of beauty
were the three scars running along her lower jaw.
"P-Percy," the green eyes girl said in amazement as she stopped and
started at the demigod.
Percy nodded, "you're looking better," he smiled, "glad to see your
doing well."
"T-Thank you," she stuttered before she realised she was standing in
the middle of the door, "oh, I'm sorry, please, come in."
Percy nodded as he walked in, Angelina shutting the door behind him.
The room looked like it belongs to a college student, books, clothes
and pens littering the floor. This was definitely where Alexsis slept.
Though strangely enough she and Mark were missing.
"So where is Alexis?" Percy asked looking around.
"She ah, well she took Mark out to the roof," Angelina motioned to an
open window, "he doesn't like closed spaces all that much...not after..."
"I get it," Percy nodded in understanding, "and you?"
"Me?"
"How have you been? Last time I saw you things were…..hectic."
"I'm fine, all things considering," Angelina sat on the bed and looked up
at Percy, "y-you saved me."
Percy nodded, "yeah…..it's kind of what I do."
"So what? You're a superhero?"
Percy chuckled, "wrong parallel word Angelina," the girl looked
confused, "never mind. Inside joke."
The girl sighed, she looked down at her hands for a moment thinking
before speaking up, "what are you?"
Percy sighed, "that….is a very complicated story. And quite
honestly…..you don't want to know."
"No," Angelina's voice took a steely tone, "no, I do."
"It won't be pretty," Percy warned her, "once I tell you the truth you
won't be able to go back to a normal life."
"Does it look like I have a normal life now?"
"Yes," Percy answered back, "it does look like you have a normal life
now."
"I wake up every night screaming," Angelina got up and started the
demigods down, "I feel her scraping her blades across my skin, her
laughter as she raped my brother. She...she destroyed me, she burnt
my soul. How is that normal?"
"Simple," Percy replied, "because you're human."
"What?"
"I said your problems are human," Percy repeated, "yes, they're
horrific, and no I'm not trying to make them seem less valuable than
they actually are. But…..but they are still human problems."
"Why do you say human? You are one aren't you?"
Percy smiled and shook his head, "no, not really. Well, I am half human
more than anything else. But at this point in life I honestly don't know
anymore."
"What do you mean half human?"
"Well…." Percy thought of ways to explain this to her when it hit him,
"Carol loved Greek myths right?"
Angelina stiffened before she nodded, "yes...she kept calling
herself….look that doesn't matter. Just tell me what Greek myths has to
do with what you can do."
Percy nodded, "well you see…...I'm part of it."
Angelina blinked, "ah...what?"
"Remember Perseus?" Percy asked, "I mean the original one, the son
of Zeus? Well that guy was a demigod, and so am I."
"Your….your a demigod?"
Percy nodded, "yeah. I'm the son of a God."
"Are you….are you Jesus?"
"What?" Percy looked surprised, "no, why would you ask that?"
"You said you were the son of God!"
"No, I said I was the son of a God, not God God, big difference."
"So whose son are you?"
"The son of Poseidon."
"Do you honestly expect me to believe that?" Angelina crossed her
arms, "if you don't' want to tell me that's fine. I just wanted to know how
you healed me because I was grateful that you did. But if you don't..."
Angelina watched slack jawed as Percy made a trident made out of
water form before him. She spun it around a few times, "well? Anything
to say."
Angelina looked at him and then the trident. She turned to him, "what
are you?"
"I told you, I'm a demigod. I'm the son of Poseidon, the God of the
seas, the Earthshaker, the father of horses and, ah…..fuck this. He has
a lot of titles, he basically just this big important guy that you should
respect. Or don't, Gods know I don't'."
"What is going on?" Angelina said as she plodded down on the bed
holding her head in her hands, "I thought...I thought you were a faith
healer or something, I didn't...I didn't realise….how is this even
possible?!"
Percy sighed, "better settle down, this is one hell of a long story."
Percy sat down besides the semi-traumatized girl and began to explain
the world to her, the real word. He didn't go into the details, the less
she knew the better. He told her about the Mist, the fact that monsters
and the Gods were real and he even told her about camp half-blood.
Chapter 610
In the end the girl simply sat down in bed, slowly going over the entire
story. Percy had sat down besides her, "so….any questions?"
"I..I…." she looked so lost, Percy honestly felt bad. He couldn't' help
thinking it was her fault, but what was he supposed to do? Not heal her
and her scars risking her life?
"I know it's difficult, believe me, I still can't believe it sometimes," Percy
said as he patted her shoulder, "but I promise, it will get better in time, I
promise."
Angelina sighed but nodded in acceptance, "thanks Percy….so,
demigod huh?"
Percy chuckled, "yeah I know. Don't really look like the son of God do
I? I was thinking I should grow a beard or something, you know get that
whole roguishly handsome thing going."
Angelina chuckled, "yes, you would look cute."
Percy smiled, he got up and offered Angelina his hand, "come one, let's
go downstairs I'm sure Kate and my mom has something ready to eat
by now."
Angelina smiled, she took the offered hand as the two quickly left
Alexsis room going downstairs. "By the way I have a question."
"Shoot."
"If you're the son of Poseidon, how did you heal me? Like can all
demigods heal people?"
"Ah, right, I get your confusion. Well to answer your question, no. Most
demigods just can a certain set of skills. Like since I'm a son of
Poseidon I can control water. I have a friend who is the daughter of
Athena and is basically a genius. I know a son of Pan, who is a nature
god, and he can control plants and I think can also communicate with
animals. So basically we have a specific set of skills, but children of
Apollo are the only ones who can heal other people with their magic."
"But you healed me."
"Right, well that's because I'm special. I can do a lot of diffrent things.
It's because….well it's because I'm wired differently."
Lie Successful!
"I see….so what else can you do?"
"A lot. Like a lot lot. Like a whole lot of a lot. It would be easier if you
just state a power and ask me if I can't do that?"
"Can you control ice?"
"Yup."
"Fire?"
"Only fireballs."
"Can you teleport?"
"No, but I can run faster than the speed of sound."
"Can you shoot lasers out of you eyes?"
"No, I'm not Superman."
"Who?"
"A superhero I met in another world," Percy shrugged, "no big deal."
Angelina blinked, "okay…..can you fly?"
"Yeah, though not as good as my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?"
Percy nodded, "yup. Thalia Grace daughter of Zeus."
"I see….wait, if she's the daughter of Zeus and you're the son of
Poseidon...doesn't that make you cousins?"
"Not really," Percy shrugged, "it doesn't work that way. You see when
we are conceived the genetic make up in the DNA of God's gets
corrupted. It changes. Hence why we are called demigods and are still
mortal. So technically speaking though I am the son of Poseidon, there
is no true genetic signature in my blood that I am infact the son of a
God."
"I see," Percy could tell the woman was confused, and he didn't blame
her. When Annabeth first explained this to him he was also lost, and he
had an Int stat level of over 100 points.
"Look don't try to think too much into it," Percy told her, "I know I don't. I
leave the discovery of the secret to the mythical world to the children of
Athena and the like. Believe me, those guys make Einstein look like an
idiot."
Angelina nodded as he continued to ask Percy questions about the
divine world, and Percy gladly answered. He didn't tell her the
dangerous things, like the war approaching or the Titans, she already
had enough to fear.
Soon Percy and Angelina joined their parents downstairs just a Kate
had finished preparing everything.
"Where are Mark and Alexis?" Castle asked when he spotted Percy
and Angelina walking towards the dining table.
"We're here!" Percy heard Alexsis call out. She quickly ran down the
stairs followed by Mark. The boy looked a little different from when
Percy saw him. He had gotten rid of his long blonde hair, he instead
got a buzz cut. He looked thinner, like he hadn't been eating well. He
also had rings under his eyes, Percy felt bad for the guy, he honestly
looked better when he was being used as a sex slave by Carol.
"Mark, you okay?" Angela asked as he approached her brother.
"Yeah, I'm fine," the boy grumbled before turning to Percy, "who's this
weasel?"
"Mark, this is Percy, the guy who saved us," Angelina introduced them.
"Hey, who you holding up?" Percy asked as he extended his hand.
"Fine," Mark shook it, he had a weak grip, was it because of his lack of
strength or his lack of enthusiasm Percy didn't know.
"I see….so, how's Jinna?" Percy asked.
Mark looked suprised, "how do you know," he started to yell out before
realising his was drawing attention to him. He quickly lowered his voice
to whisper so that only the group of youngsters could here them, "how
do you know about Jinna?"
"I ran into her and her gang when I was investigating your
disappearance," Percy replied with a shrug, "she was drunk and kind of
in the dumps. She better now?"
"Well, yeah. She is. When she heard what happened to me, she
became a little...hysterical."
"Ha, right," Angelina chuckled, "that's an understatement if I ever heard
one. She became nearly crazy Percy. Threatened to skin Carol alive.
Hell I think was she also planning on hiring some guys to shank the
bitch in prison."
Percy chuckled, "yeah, she does seem the type. I'm just glad she didn't
kill you or something. When I meet her she was drunk off her rocker.
She was going on and on about how she was going to kill you if she
ever found you."
"Woah, really?"
"Yeah, she also tried to kiss me, but that's neither here nor there,"
Percy shivered, "also you might want to talk to her dad about trying to
kill your parents."
"I'm sorry he did what?!"
"Yeah, he taught you dumped his baby girl and he wanted revenge. So
he basically tried to scare your parents by shooting at them."
"Oh God," Mark groaned as he rubbed his temples, "I am already
getting a headache from this."
