I realized, with each failure... why My Mika Percy Jackson inserts failed... here is what I have created based on that...I hope you enjoy...

This Mika story will show a side to Mika we never get to see, one that shaped a lot of whom he is... I also wanted to show him growing fromt he literal bottom... enjoy...

Prologue...

Insanity was something Mika feared, it ran in his family. His Grandmothers on both side suffered from extreme mental illness, Bipolar Disorder for one and something much darker for another. His Father had no control over his anger, and showed signs of true Psychosis...his mother had borderline Personality disorder, one Grandfather was an addict with a temper problem and the other was the same only he was also a rapist. To a young Mika, it seemed that they were cursed to bear insanity as a balance to their intelligence.

So, it was natural that he started to freak out when he realized that the Imaginary creatures he saw were real... or at least they seemed real. Cyclopes, Snake Like women, Hounds larger then most trucks, Saytrs, Women in the Water and Trees... With each passing day, he felt more and more afraid that he had inherited his families madness. Massive Migraines started to descend upon him, a sign of stress he knew from experience.

Even Now, at thirteen, Mika felt the weight of his visions slamming into him. Social interactions had become damn near impossible, people kept on shimmering from their current Human state to that of a Monster. A few girls he went to school with had a Donkey leg, a Bronze leg and Fangs... an older looking boy was kept on jumping from Human to Satyr...

The Only things that seemed to help deal with the stress were reading, mindless time in the Library, or Beating up his Kickboxing Sparring partners. He could distract himself then, putting his entire being into mindless but very productive activity seemed to be the only thing that could separate him from the fear his visions brought to him.

He Refused to be mad... or to give into his madness... he saw it destroy his family... he refused to be dragged into it as they all were...

He refused to be their brand of monster...

Oh, how naive he was...

The Day had started so Well, his migraine hadn't been that bad, he only had three visions, and he found a really good book. If only it stayed that way...

He was walking into the Library, a place he found solace, when he noticed the Girls were there. Popular Cheerleaders, Amy and Jade, they shimmered into the demonic form he always saw them in. Donkey leg and Bronze Leg distracted him, but he had become used to the sight enough to not react too much. Apparently it was not enough as both girls growled at him, a cruel smirk in their eyes.

" Oh look Amy, a cute little Witch...one of mother's beloveds..." Her visage shifted, no longer did her Human side remain. " I think we should take him with us, he might be of use to us... at least he could be a yummy little meal." She licked a clawed hand, looking very ready to eat him. He shivered, trying to ward off the vision... but it just seemed so real...

"Hmmm..." Amy, who looked identical to Jade, purred out and approached him. " Oh, I think you are right sister... he is even immune to our allure. Clearly he bears the gift... yes he will make a fine slave or meal..."

He barely dodged Amy's sudden Strike, lashing out with a solid kick to her sternum that filled the room with both a loud crack and the sound of her growling gasp. " Yeah, listen delusions. I have no interest in being dinner, so can you go away so I can be crazy in peace!" He gave his own growl, looking at his hallucinations hatefully. " I swear I don't even care if your real people, Come any closer and I will snap you in half... I have had it with my delusions." The Years of fear and pain started rushing to the surface, leaving him both angry and hateful.

Jade Growled rushing him with a mismatched clunking sound, swiping him and kicking at him with her bronze leg. She wasn't a very good fighter, but she was fast and very strong. Blocking one of her punches cracked his arm, while a graze from her bronze leg bruised his ribs. He started to realize that maybe he wasn't hallucinating... or if he was, he was already pretty gone into his Delusions. Oddly enough that a freeing thought but one he didn't get to think about Long since Amy rejoined the fray, tackling him from the side and slamming his head into the ground.

"""'

He wasn't sure how long he was unconscious but when he awoke, he was bound and in the woods. There was a roaring fire somewhere to his left, and another person bound next to him. Focusing his shaky stare, Mika realized that the person was a girl, a bit older then he was. Maybe Fifteen, she had incredibly black skin, it actually had a blue tint to it. Still she was clearly Mediterranean, Italian by the look of her features.

" Hey..." Squirming, he managed to kick her, getting her to groan and wake up. " Hey, we need to get out of here..." She blinked, looking tired and unfocused for a moment before a deadly serious stare crossed her face.

" Empousa... one of them attacked me, they want me to serve the Titans...Who's your Parent? Why did they take you?" She sniffed him, blinking in shock. " Your mortal, entirely human... why take you at all?"

Mika shrugged, accepting his madness... kind of. He was too tired to fight it at this point. " They called me a witch, saying I am their mother's beloveds... or one of them anyway. I can see their demonic faces, always have. Does that help?"

The girl sighed, looking very, very sad. " Yeah, it really does. Your Clear sighted, you can see past the Mist. It is rare but some humans can see the supernatural world. I guess I should explain... the Roman Gods, they live. They move where ever Civilization and progress is greatest, adapting to that culture. Monsters, archetypes of Chaos, follow them as well. I'm a Demigoddess, well I'm a Legacy anyway. My Grandfather is a Greek Titan, Lelantos, titan of Air and the Hunters Skill of Stalking Prey. That Lets met see past the Mist, and gives me great Aim, Tracking skills, enhanced Senses... oh and little control over air. Not as Much as My mom, but still better then a mortal."

Tears fell down Mika's face as he slumped forward. " You have no idea... how great it feels... to not believe I am losing my mind... Thank you...Or maybe I am insane, at least now there is purpose to my delusions..." He chuckled lightly. " Regardless, I don't feel like being eaten. We need to escape then you can educate me in all of the rest. " HE squirmed a little, I think I can feel a rock under my butt, I might be able to cut my ropes or at least wear them down... any tips on killing Empousa?"

The girl, who had yet to give her name, just stared at him for a moment. " Your taking this awfully well... anyway, you need divine metal, or natural elements like Lightning or water... or fire technically. Magic would help, but I have a feeling you can't use magic can you?" He just stared at her, while shimming to get the rock from under his butt." Yeah, Dumb question. Ummmm...I guess if you can toss one into the fire, it might be enough to kill them...they took my Knife, it was made of Imperial Gold and could have killed them. It is here somewhere... Oh, by the way... my name is Sierra... Nice to meet you I guess..."

" Mika... and Ah, there it is..." A few squirms and the rope frayed just enough to shimmy his hands out of it. " So glad for my tiny wrist... would Strangulation work?" Sierra nodded, looking deadly serious. " Good, I can use my rope on them." He smirked for a moment, before slumping in defeat." They are coming!"

Sierra turned and growled at the Empusa, not reacting when he tossed the rock into her hands. He knew they would survive...

Amy, in her Monster form, sauntered over to Mika with a taunting grin. " You know... we might have taught you the Craft, so you could serve our mother... but you cracked my Sternum... you doomed yourself you little shit..." She Grabbed his Chin moving in as if to kiss him... giving him the perfect chance to ram his foot into her croach. She screeched backing up in agony, falling over as he tackled her, wrapping his Rope around her throat. She Struggled, clawing his chest twice but still he held onto the rope, enjoying the panic in her eyes as slowly he killed her.

" AMY!" Jade's loud bellow made him cringe, but it was too late as she tackled him , almost knocking him into Sierra who moved to the side. In a parody of his Murdering Amy, she wrapped her fingers round his throat and began to throttle him, tears falling down her eyes. " She was my SISTER, MY TWIN! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT MORTAL!"

He couldn't fight, she was so much stronger then he was. He squirmed and tried to do something, actually he did manage to ram his fist into her elbow which would have cracked had he not been close to fainting. Once again he started to pass out...only to hear the howling of Wolves and the terrified yelp of Jade as she tried to get off of him... something, probably a wolf tackled her. He tried to see but he was barely alive, he could just hear feet and growls and a loud crunch...

Eventually something cold and wet touched his face, a whimper echoed in his ears for a moment before he heard a growling voice enter his mind. " So much strength... you are a mere mortal and yet you freed yourself and killed an older Empousa... you will live child and bring Rome great Honor... I will see to that myself..."

Pure power rushed through his body, making him gasp in agony before passing out all together...

Lupa, smiled softly at the powerful Cub in front of her. He was entirely Human, a rarity for her to take interest in. It had been so long but not unheard of. Many of the Lovers of the Demigods in Camp Jupiter were Humans she had found, wanting powerful cubs to be born. Usually they were soldiers wanting a family, already adults who were heavily accomplished. The boy in front of her was just that, a child... she could not wait to see what he would become...

" He comes with us...for now, we shall camp here." Her Wolves and the Girl, Sierra, obeyed without question. She sat by the sleeping boy, who was now propped against her side. She let her magic enter him, helping him heal. By morning, he would be able to move on his own, by the next night he should be ready to start training.

He would become a powerful warrior, one unbound by family ties or Divine help. She couldn't wait to see how he compensated for that... it would be very exciting.

Chapter End, Tell me what you think in the Reviews.

This Mika is going to be raised in Rome, I want the Canon Stuff in the Original Percy Jackson to happen for the most part... plus the Romans are just better as a unit... they are more loyal and blindly so, which is an issue, and their Fauns suck... but other then that they are better...

Any suggestions on characters, pairings, Powers and the like are welcome...

No Blessings, ever, he has to earn absolutely everything...my goal is a more developed Story, that grows and shows years passing not just a shortquest as in canon ...

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
