Son of a King
Chapter 1
(Percy's dream/flashback)
Pain. That one word was all that he could feel as he lumbered through the city. Pain, from the jet engines that bombed him and tore his skin from his body, only to heal the next moment as his healing abilities kicked in. He paused as he smelled something, something innocent. Looking down, he saw a baby crying.
"He has no parents, Andnogal took them away." The sweet voice of Mothra said to him.
"He could be my son, but I fear that he would die from my blood." He said worriedly, he was after all a walking nuclear reactor.
"I could help with that, but you need to decide." The moth goddess said and he nodded for Mothra to start.
Pain turned to joy as he blood adopted the baby.
"Mothra, could you take him to a family that will love him away from Japan? I fear that my son will perish here and I don't want that to happen." He said and the Goddess of Infant Island sighed as her shobijin used their powers to lift up his son onto Mothra's head, singing softly to put his son to sleep. As he watched the kaiju moth disappear.
He bowed his head as he sadly said "I will miss you, my son, be safe."
(Percy)
Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, woke up from that wierd dream. He was very confused about what he had just seen. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Percy got up and got some swimming trunks on, grabbed a towel, and headed for the lake. These dreams had started up after he had gotten back from the quest for the golden fleece, every night he would see a giant moth that screamed 'Goddess!' every time he saw her in the dreams and something that felt much older and more powerful than the moth. This latest dream however, he was the thing that felt older and more powerful and also learned what the giant moth's name was. 'Mothra, fitting name for a giant moth goddess.' Percy thought to himself as he reached the lake.
Putting the towel down, Percy dived into the lake, the lakes residential naiads giggled and swam up to him.
"So, Percy," The oldest looking naiad, Cassy, said softly "What brings you to our side of the camp?"
Percy smiled at the naiad, she was the one that comforted him after his brother, Ray Draks, appeared at camp and turned his life into a living tartarus.
"The dreams started getting more vivid, Cassy, I was hoping you and your sisters could help me figure them out."
Cassy motioned the other Naiads closer before placing a hand on his head and created a circular water portal with the other.
"Ok, so your dreams should appear in the circle portal I created." Cassy said as the water in the center of the portal turned black before they started showing his dreams from the past few weeks.
Angel, a naiad with sea green hair, was the first one to speak after they watched the dreams.
"Percy, from what I've seen, you dad isn't Poseidon at all. We didn't tell you this but we can tell you have blood from a older being. One that has been around since the birth of Gaia."
Percy stared at the green haired Naiad for a moment then glanced at the others. Cassy nodded at Percy, who looked at his hands in shock.
"So, did Poseidon adopt me?"
Star, the youngest looking of the lake Naiads, said "It would look like it, your power over water is not as powerful as Ray, but you have other powers that seemed to have been blocked."
"Blocked? By what?" Percy asked quickly.
Cassy pulled the young demigod into a hug as she said "Percy, we, as in all of the lake naiads, are using our power to break the block on your true heritage every time you come to the lake."
Percy had noticed a shift in his powers after every visit to Camp Half-Blood's lake, but he had pushed it to being his water powers giving him a boost of strength.
"So, how far are you on this block?" Percy asked as he let Cassy pull him closer to her and what she said next shocked him.
"It's gone...I think we removed the block!" Cassy's joy was contagious and the naiads started grinning and cheering. Percy was still confused but was spun around by Cassy and found himself being kissed on the lips by the Naiad.
After Cassy broke the kiss, Percy saw that she was blushing and looked like a red strawberry.
"Uh...thanks?" Percy said as he was still confused at his naiad friends actions.
"Percy, I'm so sorry. I...um" Cassy started but Percy grinned before pulling Cassy into a hug of his own.
"You don't need to be sorry for anything, Cassy, you were in a 'heat of the moment' when you did that. Just warn me next time you do it ok?"
Cassy was laughing as Percy's explanation of her actions before Percy told them he had to go.
"Hurry back, Percy, or Cassy may miss you if you are gone for too long!" Star called after him, making Cassy blush furiously.
Percy grabbed his towel and dried himself before he realized that he was wet from the water. He paused, looking at the soaked towel, Percy then shrugged as he headed back to his cabin to get a shower and get ready for the day. After his shower, Percy pulled his Camp Half-Blood shirt on then headed to the dining pavilion. While he was walking, he was hit with an overwhelming power that knocked him on his hands and knees. Gasping for air, Percy notice he was gathering a crowd around him and then he heard his brother's voice
"oh, look it's Percy, ha, bet he is have a panic attack from one of his dreams." Percy let the overwhelming anger take hold, turning his vision blood red.
Standing up, Percy growled at Ray before charging at an unimaginable speed and grabbed Ray by the throat. Ray was lifted off the ground before he was slammed back into it, Percy pounded his brother over and over into the dirt, making sure to break every single bone in his body as he did so. After one more solid cracking sound, Percy dropped the broken body of Ray to the ground, panting slightly.
"Perce, what got into you, man?" Connor Stoll asked as he looked from Ray to Percy in shock, Percy turned his head to look at Connor, who gasped as he saw Percy's eyes. They were literal sea green fires that burned where his eyes should have been.
Percy looked away from Connor and back at Ray, who was whimpering on the ground. Percy raised his right hand, palm up, and fire that same color as his eyes ignited in his palm.
"Burn" Was all that Percy said before he thrusted his hand forward, the fire shooting forward like a flamethrowers.
Ray was engulfed in the green flame, Percy turned and walked away from the burning body, never looking back at the camp into the forest. The last thing that was heard from Percy that day was a roar, one that pierced the hearts of all of those who betrayed him because of Ray.
(Olympus council, 2 years later)
"It's been two years since the disappearance of Percy Jackson, but if anyone has a lead on his where-abouts, then please speak." Zeus said to the other 12 Olympians.
Hades raised his head and said "Percy is not dead because he would have been in Elysium for his bravery, a true hero."
Poseidon crossed his arms over his chest "Percy is a threat, he killed my son."
Artemis glared at the sea god before snapping "Perseus is the only boy that treats women with respect, Uncle, your son however is another story."
Poseidon squirmed in his throne as Artemis gave him her death glare.
"Percy is fine,"Apollo said as he looked at his medical clipboard, flipping a page over, before long up at the others.
"He's in Idaho, in a small town called Malad City."
"Arty, you could find him there, how about you go and get him?" Apollo continued and Artemis gritted her teeth at her nickname.
"I'll get him, but I'm taking Zoe and Phoebe with me."
(Malad, Idaho-Percy)
Percy looked up at the sky as he paused for a moment from swimming in the reservoir. 2 years after killing Ray had done him some good, Cassy and her sisters had somehow found him here in Malad and made his life interesting, to say the least. The people in Malad had several religions, one of them was Mormon or LDS, good people. When he first arrived in Malad, he made a friend with a boy named Corban Sperry. Percy was only 14 and Corban was 15 and to Percy's shock, Corban was a mortal with godly powers. He lived with the Sperry's ever since and he couldn't be happier.
"Hey, Perce!" Corban called from the shore of Devil's Creek Reservoir, a grinned plastered on his face.
"What?" Percy called back as he swam to the shore that his friend was on.
Corban was sitting with Star, looking at a laptop as he motioned Percy over. "I think I've figured out who your dad really is."
Percy pulled himself from the water and walked over to see what his friend was looking at. On the screen was a massive creature, mouth open in a roar and spines running the length of his back.
"Meet Godzilla or Gojira in Japanese. I've been studying you as you practiced with your powers and found that all your abilities are from Godzilla." Corban said as Percy continued to stare at the picture on the laptop.
That was until Percy sensed something was off, as in something was coming to take him.
"Perce, you sense something, what is-!" Corban yelped as a silver arrow turned his laptop to scrap. Percy got in a fighting pose and Corban summoned a lightsaber to his hand.
"Perseus, you will come with us or we will use lethal force." Artemis said coolly, but Percy was looking at the bow in her hand.
"I think that I'm going to stay, thanks for the offer though." Percy flashed the goddess a smile before Corban snapped his fingers and teleported Percy, Star, and Corban back to his house.
"You have a goddess after you and the man-hating one at that?" Percy mock glared at Corban before he went into the house and into Corban's room.
"Hey Percy, what are you doing?" Corban's sister, Britta, asked as she looked up from her puzzle.
"Packing and leaving to get away from a man-hating goddess." Percy said as he finished packing everything and headed back outside, to find Corban in a lamborghini.
"Come on, I'm not letting you have all the fun, Mr. Son-of-a-Kaiju."
Star was sitting in the back seat with Cassy, who looked worried. Percy tossed his bag into the car and sat in shotgun. Corban then pushed the gas peddle to the floor and sped off.
"I'm starting to suspect that you have that power to create anything…" Cassy said as they roared down the highway.
Corban grinned as he said "Yep, ever read Daniel X? I have the same power but unlike him, I have it on a godly scale and whatever I create it permanent until I make it not permanent."
Percy suspected that Corban wasn't driving but was making it so he could drive using his imagination because he knew that Corban's dad wasn't ready to have his son on the road driving. He was then brought out of his thoughts when something exploded in front of the car.
"Ok, that's it," Corban pulled a police radio out of nowhere and ordered "Squads Alpha and Charlie, Blast that Goddess away from us. Squad Beta and Delta, give the others cover fire!"
Then two warthogs drove up and started firing up in the air. Percy looked behind him and saw 8 F-16 fighter jets roar overhead and engaged a silver chariot.
"Corban, could you get use out of here already!?" Star shouted over the battle, only to have Corban reply "I'm am trying to get us out of here, but I'm trying to find a place we can teleport without hurting anyone that is not mortal."
The stereo crackled as someone shouted "Johnson is down, I repeat Johnson is down!"
"Who is this woman?!" A spartan called to them from the warthog on the right.
"She is Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, the Moon, and Childbirth!" Percy shouted back at the spartan, who nodded then refocused on knocking the oncoming arrows out of the air.
"I think we got enough space…" Corban muttered and Percy glanced at his friend "What?" Then the world went white as Corban teleported them with a bang to who knows where.
(Artemis)
After Artemis regained her sight, she gaped at the hole that was left from the teleportation.
"What was that, there was nothing and then we were being attacked by F-16's and by video game vehicles!"
Phoebe was shocked and Artemis could only nod, Percy was with two Naiads and a mortal boy. From what she could sense about the mortal, he was even more powerful than the gods themselves.
"My Lady, before we ambushed them at the reservoir, I heard Perseus call the boy with the laptop, Corban." Zoe said as she looked around, wary of any more surprises.
"I think we lost them, but we will find them." Artemis then gripped the reins and brought the chariot around and the three went back to New York to regroup and get some more hunters.
(Corban)
"Great, where on a island that is uncharted, a good way to ruin a day." I muttered as I regained consciousness, oh and you're probably wondering why I speak in the first person and nobody else does.
Thats easy because Percy told me too. I'm writing this book so back to where we were, on an island in this middle of the ocean. Percy was next to me, out cold from the energy that I used to teleport us to somewhere that Percy's greek gods couldn't find us.
"Dad and mom are going to kill me." Sighing I sat up and rubbed my eyes before getting up on my feet.
"Ok, so could you guys set up camp over there," I pointed at a clearing that the spartans I created to help us on the road could go get camp up and running.
They saluted before heading over, I then created a medic to help me check out my friends. "Percy will be out for several hours, Cassy and Star will be be up in an hour or two." I smiled as he finished his examination.
"Thanks Doc, I can always trust your judgement."
Waving my hand, Doc vanished and I created several stretchers and people to carry my friends. As we walked into camp, I felt something like I was being watched.
"Ok, whose watch me?!" I called into the jungle around us and then spun around, a halo battle rifle appearing in my hand and the spartans surrounded the little women, guns raised with safety off.
"Ok, I'm beginning to think that I was pulled onto this specific island for a reason and I think you have the reason."
The little women said in perfect sync "Yes, we are the shobijin and we welcome you to Infant Island."
The only thing I could think was, my Mom and Dad are definitely going to kill me when I get home from this adventure.
