Chapter one
Disclaimer: I own neither PJO nor Naruto. Rick and Kishimoto do. Same goes to rest of the story.
We were on Percy's car. Annabeth was on my lap, Jane on Percy's and Thalia was just sitting alone looking at us awkwardly. We were heading towards some military school as Grover had told Percy through their empathy link that he had found demi-gods on said school-Westover Hall-and wanted us to go there to help him. Percy's mom, Sally Jackson, was talking to Percy ("Did you really get everything Percy? Something may happen. Oh, I'll be so desperate if something happens… take care, Percy. If anything happens then contact me, I'll do everything I can…" She said) while we just chuckled as Percy went so red my whisker marks would burn. I didn't blame him. My step-dad had made me pass exactly through the same situation.
Flashback.
Me and my family were heading towards a new school (the other one had closed as a mysterious earthquake destroyed it). Oh, yeah. The mysterious earthquake was I fighting three giants at once. Those guys knew how to break some buildings. Annie was studying in an only-girls school with Thalia. I was some kind of jealous, but Annabeth had to have some time with a friend she didn't see for six years.
We arrived at the direction so that they could put me into the school.
"So you are Vicent Johnson" the head mistress said.
"Yeah" I told her.
"I've heard good things of you. They say you've got very good marks"
"Oh, my son has indeed very good marks" My step-father said.
"Dad-"
"He has the best marks on PE, Maths, English, History, Geography, Physics…" and so on. I didn't have half of them. Then the unexpected happened.
"Vice, try not to blow up any more school this year and try to do everything I said. Remember to go to the bathroom when you are… tight, wash your hands before lunch and eat everything- you are on a growing phase, you need to eat…" and so on… in front of the head mistress. My face went so red my whisker marks were now some kind of purple.
End flashback.
Poor me.
We arrived in front of Westover hall.
"And remember to-" But Sally was interrupted.
"Okay, mom. I know" Percy said. "Let's go, guys"
We arrived at the hall of Westover Hall (irony, isn't it?) and saw it was castle-like not only in the outside but on the inside as well. It had several weapons everywhere and was some kind of blue. On it's end stood Grover.
"G-man!/Goat boy!/Grover!" Me, Thalia and Percy shouted, waving.
"Perrrrcy!" He shouted back. We walked towards him.
"Hey, give us more details. Who is the half-blood?" I asked.
"They're actually three: The Di Angelo brothers; Nico is the youngest and is ten years old and Bianca is twelve. There's also the other demi-god whose name is Zach. He's apathetic and very closed, so we can't have him to follow us normally" Grover said.
"Let me do this" I said with my apathetic mask in place. Everyone looked at me awkwardly. Yeah, I'll definitely do this.
"But where there is a demi-god, not to mention three, there must be some monster" Thalia said.
"That's right" Grover said. "It's Dr. Torn"
"Who's that?" Percy asked.
"You'll meet him" Grover simply stated. We walked towards the gymnasium (Grover said there was a boll happening) and we met two people, one was a woman wearing a military outfit and the other one was a tall man wearing the same outfit (why does this description sound familiar to me?).
"Who are you?" The woman asked. Thalia got forward and snapped her fingers. Almost at the same time the air got colder.
"We are students here and study since 2000" Thalia said. For a moment I thought they would say something like 'we have to send them to the hospital' or 'what do you think you're doing?', but instead the woman said:
"Okay, you can pass"
Crazy world.
My right eye started twitching. What the fuck was that?
"What the fuck was that?" I asked when we entered the gymnasium.
"Chiron didn't teach you how to control the mist?" She asked.
"You were controlling the mist?" I asked.
"Answering questions with questions? You suck" She stated. I got an annoyed look on my face.
"Okay, where's the Zach guy?" I asked Grover.
"Over there" He said while pointing at a dude about my age. He had jet black hair similar to Percy's and had Plain black eyes. He was wearing a black tuxedo with vertical white lines and a white elegant T-shirt that slightly appeared behind the tuxedo, and, as Grover said, he was wearing an apathetic look on his face. I walked towards him.
"Hey" I said wearing my apathetic mask.
"Hn" He simply answered.
"He's much like Sasuke… he isn't Sasuke, though" Said Naruto's voice in my head. Me and Naruto had developed a much stronger friendship and I discovered both him and Kyuubi could talk to me whenever they wanted.
"I agree" I answered. I had received Naruto's memories last summer as he wanted me to understand him when he talked about his past.
Zach then sat in a bench and I sat beside him. Then I noticed the brothers Di Angelo were missing. I looked towards the gymnasium door and saw Dr. Thorn grabbing them both by the collar and dragging them outside Westover Hall.
"Fuck it" I said with a desperate tone and grabbed Zach by the collar.
"What the-" But I interrupted Zach from saying anything.
"Not now" I said. "Just follow me" He nodded.
We got out of Westover Hall and saw Dr. Thorn dragging Percy, Nico and Bianca out.
"Those are Nico and Bianca!" Zach said.
"Yeah, I know"
We got near Dr. Thorn and hid behind some brushes.
"You stay here, I take care of the stuff" I told him. Without waiting for an answer I summoned my sword and jumped out of the brushes, exposing myself to the others.
"Hey Dr. Needle, wanna a real duel?" I asked lifting my sword at neck-height. "Come here, then, you freaking monster"
"You called me Dr. Needle? I'll tell you why my name is Dr. Thorn" He said, then transformed into a manticore. Oh, right. Those guys are easy. Now I need an Annabeth. Where is she? Oh, shit.
Dr. Needle sent several thorns towards me at sound speed. It was easy for me to block them. But there was a problem: every time I started to get near him he just started to shoot faster and thinner thorns. I couldn't hold it forever. That's when Percy comes and saves me. He pressed a button on his watch and it spun and expanded, transforming into a shield. I crouched and he threw himself near me and blocked several thorns that were coming in our direction.
"Thanks" I said.
"Any time" He answered. I grabbed a smoke grenade (I had stolen some from the police department. It was fun when they said in the newspapers it had been some damned guy that lives in Canada) and threw them on top of us, making a big smoke explosion. I jumped and noticed the thorns had stopped hitting the shield. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and landed on the middle of the smoke. I grabbed my shoulder. When the smoke cleared I saw Dr. Thorn smirking.
"Don't subestimate me, boy. We monsters can see through everything except walls. That includes your pitiful smoke bombs" The manticore said. Damn. My shoulder just wouldn't stop hurting.
"For Zeus!" Oh, right. Thalia. She charged forward with her spear and several lightning bolts fell on it. She managed to make a little cut on Dr. Thorn's front leg and he winced in pain before swinging his tail horizontally and getting Thalia flying out of the way. I got to my feet and grabbed my sword. I was immobilized in my right arm so I grabbed my sword with my left arm. I tried to do the same I did two years ago: channel so much chakra into my sword so that I can cut objects at long distance.
"You've gotta release your chakra when you're about to cut it" Said Naruto inside my head. I did as said and sure enough when I swung my sword horizontally I cut out Dr. Thorn's front right paw out. At that moment I recovered movement in my right arm, so switched my sword to my right hand, even though it was hurting as hell. The manticore charged towards me.
"Oh, you're so not going to!" A voice I recognized as Annabeth's shouted. She appeared on the back of the manticore as her cap had been sent flying when she landed. Then I heard a hunting horn and girls either about my age or younger got out of the forest and started to prepare the bows that suddenly appeared on their hands much like my sword.
"The hunters!" Annie cried.
"That's not fair!" Shouted Dr. Thorn, getting Annie out of his back. I hiraishined towards her and checked on her. I sighed as I noticed there was only a little cut on her wrist. "That's direct intervention! It's against ancient laws!"
"All hunt to monsters and animals are on my sphere and you are a monster, so I can kill you whenever I want" A girl about twelve with red hair and gray eyes said. Her eyes were much like Annabeth's, but weren't the same. Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunt.
Annabeth jumped on top of Dr. Thorn again. I didn't know why, though.
"Shoot!" Said Artemis.
"But milady, she's too close!" A girl about my age said.
"Shoot!" Artemis insisted.
"Yes, milady" The girl said and all the hunters shot at once, hitting the manticore in several places, not hitting Annabeth.
"Stop!" I shouted, but they just kept shooting. The manticore screamed in pain and fell into a (now I noticed there was) precipice together with Annie. I stayed in some kind of trance for ten seconds and then turned towards Percy.
"Can you some kind of feel her?" I asked, almost whispering. He just shook his head. We heard a helicopter sound and a helicopter appeared going up the precipice. They started to shoot towards us and I just blocked every bullet either hiraishining or shunshining (shunshin is that thing I made unconsciously on Polyphemus's island). When they were out of bullets I shunshined into the helicopter.
Best not to describe the next thirty seconds. Let's just say there wasn't much left of the guys that were on it either than bit pieces of meat, bone and a lot of blood. I hiraishined towards where the guys were and stormed off, full of anger and tears in my eyes. I went towards the brushes and grabbed Zach by the arm.
"Let's go to Camp" I said and hiraishined towards The not-anymore-Thalia's tree. I led him towards the big house.
"Enter and talk to Chiron" I said and stormed off towards my cabin. I laid in my bed and started to cry the crap out of me. Some hours later I had finally stopped crying and grabbed a photo where you could see me and Annabeth hugged with winter clothes (It was winter). She had her eyes closed and was smiling a thousand watt smile. She was also doing the 'peace and love' sign which you could see in the bottom left hand corner. I was hugging her by her back and was also with my eyes closed and smiling. I smiled at the memory. It was taken two years ago and some seconds after the photo was taken a hellhound attacked us.
Annabeth…
I laid in my bed and slept.
The next day I woke up and a scared-looking Thalia entered the cabin.
"What is it?" I asked her, standing up. And then I noticed I was only in boxers. Thalia stared at me. Oh, man. I went back into the bed and got the covers on top of me.
"Now I know why Anna likes you" She said, smirking and her cheeks going slightly red. "And answering your question: a) Anna has disappeared and b) I had to ride the sun" She stated in a monotone voice.
"Oh, right" I said, getting a sad tone in my voice. "Now, would you excuse me? I wanna dress up" I said. Thalia without complaining got out of the bed. I dressed up some winter clothes and shouted 'Done!'. Thalia entered the cabin.
"Now would you excuse me? I wanna sleep" She told me. I got out of the cabin to see Zach getting out of the Apollo cabin. Wait. Apollo cabin? Black eyes? Oh, right. Another descendant of some freaking Japanese family.
"Hey, Uchiha!" I shouted. He turned around.
"Oh, hello, Namikaze" He said in his typical monotone.
"Wanna some sword playing classes?" I asked. He just nodded.
We arrived at the arena and out of the nothing there was a sword in his hand. It was similar to mine, but instead of an orange grip it was a totally black grip and it said 'Uchiha Sasuke'.
"That's Sasuke's katana!" Naruto said inside my head. I just nodded and summoned my katana.
"Okay, now lift your sword at stomach height" I said. He, now noticing his katana, grabbed it with two hands and lifted it at stomach height.
" 'Kay, now you are with the basic defense position" I told him. He nodded.
"Now try to block my attack" I said. I hiraishined in front of him and put my sword to his neck. He didn't seem scared.
"Why are you not scared?" I asked.
"Because one more movement and you die" He simply stated. Then I noticed his sword was pressed against my chest. So his strategy was to counter-attack.
"Well, this seems to be interesting" I said.
End of chap, guys. Please, review. I wanna know what you guys think of my story!
