Tartarus: Jercy Style- Fanfiction

I don't own PJO or HoO

Sorry if I got some facts wrong, don't flame me...

If you recognize some parts of HoH in this fanfiction,

it's because I borrowed some of Uncle Rick's writing.

All I did was paraphrase a little in those parts that you recognize,

the entire story is not his writing, most of it is my words by the way.

Warning: Violence.

Percy

It felt like hours, but really it was minutes. I traveled through Tarturus with a goal in mind: Survive.

I was not alone, Annabeth wasn't here, neither were the rest of the seven, just Jason. My rival and my bestfriend.

Even if we were two of the most powerful demigods, this trip was painful.

I learned alot about Jason,

One thing was: He wasn't really stupid.

He told me that down here, fire was drinkable.

I looked at him suprised, then I tried it and it healed my cuts even if it tasted spicy.

"You were right," I whispered softly.

"Duh!" He responded.

I chuckled lightly.

"Let's get going," he smiled.

"It's unusual to see such a beautiful smile down in Tartarus," I anotated.

"I know. Come on! I'll leave you behind!" Jason called.

"Yeah! Yeah!" I quickly ran to where Jason was.

As I caught up, he sprinted until he was out of breath. We made a pit-stop at a shrine. All of a sudden, a bar of chocolate appeared at the shrine.

"Wait what!" I whispered quite loudly.

"Didn't a shrine of Hermes disappear from somewhere?" Jason questioned.

"Yeah, I thought so."

"Don't the Stolls burn chocolate for Hermes?"

"Yeah, every meal for Hermes. Wait! Is this shrine connected to camp somehow?" I wondered.

"It seems so. Give me Riptide for a second," Jason said.

I then hesitantly gave him Riptide, while he took out a piece of notebook paper from somewhere. "Will it go back to camp if we burn it here?"

"I'm testing it. Can Riptide be used as a pen?"

"I never tried it."

"Gods, Percy! So it turns into a sword when you uncap it, right?"

"That's correct."

"What happens when you write with the cap on?" He questioned. "Let me try it okay Perce."

"Okay Jase."

Jason began to write with Riptide's pen cap still on. To my suprise, ink began to flow off it.

To Anyone Who Gets This,

Give this to Rachel please

Percy and I, Jason

Found a shrine dedicated to Hermes

While traveling through Tartarus

Tell the camp that we are both okay

And that I saved Annabeth

So I got trapped in Tartarus

Instead of her

This is very important

Pass this message along please to Chiron

Please give us a message right when you get this.

-Jason Grace & Percy Jackson

We then burned it with some liquid fire and it desolved into thin air. We waited for a while waiting for a message back.

Hey Percy and Jason,

It's Connor and Travis Stoll

We gave it to Chiron we swear

It sounded important

And you say you're traveling in Tartarus!

That seems dangerous

We assume the rest are okay

We wish you the best luck!

-Connor Stoll and Travis Stoll

"Let's go," Jason commanded, and off we went traveling through Tartarus.

Jason

"Let's go," I commanded, and off we went traveling through Tartarus.

The heat from the River Phlegethon baked my skin. It felt like inhaling sulfur-scented fiberglass when I breathed.

So what if we were in Tartarus? So what if we had a slim chance of surviving? I was glad that I wasn't alone.

My clothes looked as if I'd been in a hurricane full of broken glass. I was so thirsty, hungry, and I was beginning to go insane. It wasn't as if I wasn't insane before, but I was beginning to become even more insane.

Time was almost impossible to judge. All I knew was it was near the time when the campers at Camp Half-Blood ate, around 7:25.

We were in such a hurry to close the Doors of Daeath.

As we moved along, we ended up on a massive cliff. The River Phlegethon spilled over the side in jagged tiers of fiery waterfalls. Every once in a while, a bubble would swell and burst, disgorging a monster like larva from an egg.

Suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore.

All of the newly formed monsters were beginning to crawl and hobble in the same direction-toward a bank of black fog that swallowed up the horizon like a storm front. The Phlegethon flowed in that same direction giving us some information that we had to go that way.

Percy peered over the edge of the cliff.

"You want to fly?" He asked.

"Sounds good to me," I responded.

I used my powers to get us to fly us over the plains of Tartarus, heading toward the dark horizon.

My stomach began to growl.

Keep flying, I told myself.

French Fries, my stomach replied.

Shut up, I thought.

And cheeseburgers, my stomach complained.

About a billion year later, not really, with a few growls of my stomach, we reached the end of the wasteland that streched for miles. To our right, the River Phlegethon branched out, spliting and etching the plain. To our north, along the main route of the river, the ground was riddled with cave entrances. Here and there and almost everywhere, spires of rock jutted out from the ground.

Under my skin, the soil felt alarmingly warm and smooth. I tried to grab a handful, then I realized that under a thin layer of dirt and debris, the ground was a single vast membrane...like skin, Tartarus's skin.

I almost threw up just thinking about it. I forced myself not to, plus in my stomach, all there was in my stomach was liquid fire.

I didn't mention it to Percy, but I started to feel like something, someone, was watching us. I couldn't zero in on it, because the presence of this stalker was all around them. Plus, watching wasn't the correct word. That meant eyes, this thing was aware of us.

I forced my thoughts to dissolve. This place was freaking me out. That was all, right? Or was it?

Jase! Stop it with those creepy thoughts, I thought.

Mashed potatoes, my stomach answered.

I thought you were gone! Ugh, I told myself.

With gravy, it answered.

Something darted in the corner of my blue eyes. Somewhere to my right. I whipped my head in the direction and saw rocks, perfect for a trap.

I froze remembering that empousai were following us earlier.

"Where are the empousai?" I asked Percy.

"Umm, get out your sword," he replied.

"Percy Jackson," an empousai cooed. "This is great! I don't even have to return to the mortal world to destroy you! Remember me? Kelli!"

"Not you again!" Percy answered.

"Darling! It is me!" Kelli cackled.

Percy

I recalled how dangerous Kelli had been the last time we'd fought which was in the Labyrinth. Despite those mis-matched legs, Kelli could move as fast when she wanted to. She'd dodged my sword strikes and Kelli would've eaten my face off if Annabeth hadn't stabbed her from behind, in the Labyrinth.

Now she had four friends with her.

I only had Jason.

"Where is that Annabeth girl?" Kelli hissed remembering her. "Oh, yeah, I remember her, she stabbed me in the back.

I tried to think-Keyword; tried. Jason and I stood shoulder to shoulder many times before, ready to fight. Neither of us were in good shape for battle. Jason was exhausted from using his powers. We were hopelessly outnumbered. No where to run. No help coming.

I considered calling Mrs. O'Leary, my hellhound friend who could shadow-travel. Even if she heard my call of distress, would she be able to make it Tartarus? Tartarus was where monsters went when the died. Would calling her kill her? No... I couldn't do that to my dog.

So no help. At all. Fighting was a long shot.

That left some tactics: trickery, talk, and delay.

"So..." I started, "I guess you're wondering what we're doing in Tartarus."

Kelli snickered. "Not really. I just wanted to kill you."

That would've been the end of me, but Jason chimed in.

"Too bad," he said. "Because you have no idea what's going on in the mortal world."

"We know enough," Kelli said. "Gaea has spoken."

"You're heading towards defeat." Jason sounded confident that it impressed me. He glanced at the other empousai, one by one, then he pointed accusingly at Kelli. "This one claims she's leading you to a victory. She's lying. The last time she was in the mortal world, Kelli was in charge of keeping Percy's friend Luke Castellan faithful to Kronos. In the end, Luke rejected him. He gave his life to expel Kronos. The Titans lost because Kelli failed. Now Kelli wants to lead you to another disaster."

The other empousai muttered and shifted uneasily.

"Enough!" Kelli's fingertips grew into long, black talons. "The boy lies," Kelli said. "So the Titans lost. Fine! That was part of the plan to wake Gaea! Now the Earth Mother and her gaints will destroy the mortal world, and we will feast on demigods!"

"The demigods have united!" Jason yelled. "You'd better think twice if you want to attack us! Romans and Greeks will fight you together! You don't stand a chance! You will be defeated!"

The empousai backed up nervously, hissing,"Romani."

We then showed our SPQR marks-the brand we gotten at Camp Jupiter. "You mix Greek and Roman, and you know what you get? You get BAM!"

"Bold talk for two demigods lost in Tartarus. Lower your sword, Percy Jackson, and I'll kill you quickly. Believe me, there are worse ways to die down here."

"Wait! Empousai are the servants of Hecate, correct?" I tried again. "Hecate is on our side now! She has a cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Some of her demigod children are my friends! If you fight us, she'll be angry!"

"Is this true, Kelli? Has our mistress made peace with Olympus?" A empousai named Serephone asked.

"Shut up, Serephone!" Kelli screeched.

"I will not cross the Dark Mistress!"

Kelli's talons raked across Serephone's skin. As the fight went on, Jason and Percy took out their weapons, ready for battle. They killed the surrounding empousai and then waited for the fight to stop.

Not suprisingly, Kelli won. She looked around and saw that she was the only one left. "What have you done!"

"You're the last one! The last survivor!" Jason yelled.

I swung my sword, ending Kelli.
