Maximum Ride and Percy Jackson Crossover

Monsters

Prologue

Percy's POV

Why I am so incredibly jumpy on Halloween, I don't know. But I do know Halloween is the perfect disguise for monsters. Mrs. O' Leary jumped about. Mom said she could come to stay with us for Halloween as long as she stayed in a designated Mrs. O'Leary room we made for her. You probably call it a garage. I tried to calm her down but she was just too excited. She hopped about shaking the ground every time she landed. Some kids stopped by the window and she went wild. The kids outside screamed as she bounded happily towards the door. She burst through the splintering wood and took off.

"Mrs. O'Leary!" I called after her.

She just kept running. It took me a second but I decided to follow her. I took off after her. And for a minute I thought I had lost her. Then I heard her crashing through the bushes in the forest beside our new home. The forest was a dangerous place especially at night. I had to after her though. I cautiously ran into the woods. I rarely went into them, but I knew how to get out if needed. I ran for a minute and saw that it was quiet. Mist rounded all the trees; I could barely see anything. I took a step forward a heard a twig snap behind me.

I slowly and stilly turned my head to see my approachers. The next thing I saw before I screamed were two eager faces each wearing a disgusting look.

"Boo!" They both shouted.

I screamed and fell back. Then my attackers laughed. Next in their sinister plan they ripped off their faces. The first one seemed to just grow long blonde hair, the other seemed to impersonate well himself.

"You should've seen the look on your face!" Annabeth laughed.

"Sorry, Annabeth made me do it."

My face heated up and Annabeth reached down and pulled me up. They discarded their masks in a trashcan. Then I realized I had reached the other side of the forest. I brushed off my pants.

"We came by looking for you and your mom said Mrs. O'Leary had come home. She said to come get you."

"You have a fine way of doing it too."

"Percy…"

"Now if you'll excuse me."

"Percy…"

"I'm going to go stuff my face with candy left over from the trick or treaters."

"Peeeercy!"

"What?"

"Look at those kids."

"Yeah, they smell funny," Grover, agreed.

"They're just kids."

"No, they wouldn't be out here, and why would they be staring at us if they were just kids."

A group of six or so kids were looking at us from across the street. From what I could make out, there were three girls and three boys. I looked back at Annabeth and we both instantly knew we had to be ready for a fight.

"I think we should destroy them before they destroy us," Grover said.

Max's POV

Across the street three kids stared at us. We stared right back.

"I think we should destroy them before they destroy us," one said. That was our cue to get a move on. We continued on through the streets. We walked in silence. Erasers had great hearing. And we knew we had to prepare for a fight. Man, Halloween is great.

Percy's POV

We moved in swiftly. We saw them come into the alley. And we prepared. I looked over at Annabeth. She nodded. The whole group of monsters came into view. And let me say, the one I was in charge of killing was hot. She was tall and thin, with nice hair. Then one thought came to mind. Empousa. Grover announced silently

"Now." And I jumped from my hiding place with Rip tide arched above my head. I slashed down on the monster's side ripping her shirt and blood spilled. I was pretty much over monsters not exploding into golden dust. They had gotten much more developed over the years. Annabeth jumped on the tall dark boy, and he caught her. He grabbed her by the arms and flung her hard against the wall. I got distracted and watched Annabeth. Then the one I cut, I realized hadn't even winced and she gave me a hard punch in the stomach. Grover hopped down behind the group and then I saw the two smallest come up to him. The small blond girl rushed at him kicking him in a place no satyr wants to be kicked. Then the other blond boy gave him a blow to his stomach.

I was caught off guard again and hit over the head. On instict I acted and I grabbed her arm and twisted it. A loud snap overcame the crowd and then the tall dark one kicked me in the side and I landed blacking out as Annabeth and Grover had done. The last thing I saw was Grover being attacked upon by two more kids, another boy and girl. That's when I realized we had been beat.

I opened my eyes and looked around. The dark goth kid was sitting upright against the alley wall. The blonde hot girl laid cut and bleeding on his lap. He stroked her hair softly while a girl with dark skin was pressing down on the wound I caused with a jacket sleeve. I decide to be still. They still had a little energy.

Max's POV

I lay there on Fang's lap slowly bleeding to death as he had done once when eraser's had attacked in Washington. Except this time there wasn't a guy jogging down the beach with a cell phone and a pair of paramedics. I breathed slowly and heavily. Poor Angel. She was softly crying for me, in fear that I might die. I reached out my good arm reassuring her. Nudge was pressing down on my ever-bleeding wound. Iggy was sitting on the look out on the roof, and Gazzy was watching me intently. I heard movement in front of me, but my vision was getting kind of blurry. I know fang heard it too because he was instantly alert.

The kid who had attacked me was getting up.

"Angel get over here," Fang said calmly. He lifted my head and got up. Angel came and sat in his place. He put my head down on Angel's lap and walked towards the boy. I lifted my head.

"Fang don't he's just a human!"

"A human with a sword who tried to kill you."

Fang continued on.

Percy's POV

The guy came toward me slowly. I saw Annabeth get up. I got Riptide ready, and he got ready as he stopped.

"Percy!" "Fang!"

"What?" The guy called Fang and I said at the same time.

"Fang," repeated Nudge. "She's unconscious!"

"Percy, they're just mortals," Annabeth stated.

"No, they're not. Riptide can only cut through mortals," I said ready to protect my group at any moment.

One of the guys who kicked Grover's butt came down from a rooftop. He looked around for a minute went to where Fang was, and took his place helping the girl. The boy, Fang came over and said,

"As far as I can tell, you're not an eraser, but, you still hurt Max, and are going to help us help her."

"Fine," Annabeth said before I could answer.

"And you're clearly not a monster." I said still a little angry.

"I'm Fang. That's Max."

Fang turned and walked away.

"And I'm Percy."

"Whatever."

Fang's POV

I hated trusting these guys. The least I could do was keep the wings a secret. They looked like just kids, but who knows what they are. Besides Max needed help. And the only way we could stay in a group and help her was if they helped. I just couldn't send a flock member or myself out on Halloween. I heard the girl I had knocked senseless whisper to the kid, Percy.

"Hey um, Fang, Should we call the hospital-"

"No!" I shouted instantly turning on my heel.

"Okay, Okay. In that case I think I know someone who can help," said the Percy kid. I turned back and walked in Max's direction. The weird looking kid the rest of the flock had beat up still lay n the ground. I scooped him up with one hand, turned unexpectedly back to then, and tossed the animal looking boy to them. They gasped, but just barely caught him.

"Who is this person who might be able to help?" I asked suddenly and questioningly.

"Someone, named… Chiron."

Percy's POV

"Whoa, you mean like the mythology character."

"And if he can't I can see if Nico can."

"Percy, I don't think Nico would be able to. He just found this strength, and plus she isn't dead."

I looked at Annabeth like really? It could be useful. She looked down.

"Wait, so why don't you just contact this Chiron dude, and hurry up?"

"Fine."

I pulled out a hose from underneath someone's house and Annabeth pulled out a golden drachma. I turned on the water. Annabeth threw the coin in and a rainbow appeared, despite the surrounding fog. I saw the smallest look of worry on Fang's face, and the other kids looked even scareder.

I said a few words in Greek to freak Fang out even further, and then Chiron appeared. He had Dionysus's new ipod and was singing out loud to Beyonce's song Single Ladies. I had to laugh at this. Over to the side Annabeth couldn't stop laughing. I heard Dionysus's voice in the background yelling at Chiron for taking his ipod. Chiron opened his eyes, and took the earplugs out. He walked over to a table and placed the ipod down. Then he hurried over and nearly walked into us. Before he did he stopped.

"OH HI PERCY!" he said.

"Happy Halloween!"

"Chiron! We need some help. We found some kids we think. We thought they were monsters but they completely ignorant to the celestial bronze, except in our fight I injured one, and now we need you to help fix her."

"Hold up!" Fang shouted.

"You thought we were monsters? What an insult. Well just saying here, we thought you were Erasers," He said.

"What is that boy talking about?"

"That's Fang, he's one of the kids we attacked, and actually we're not sure what erasers are either so…" Annabeth trailed off.

"Can you move her here? Is she too badly wounded to move? Can she even pass through the lines?"

"Well we don't know. I don't think she is a demi-god, or a mortal, or a monster."

"That makes it all clear," Fang said.

"… You're lunatics. That's why you attacked us. Yeah, I'm not sure how you're pulling off this water thing but demi-gods? That is the last thing we could possibly be. And I'm pretty sure Jed nor doctor Martinez are Gods or Goddesses."

"We're not lunatics. Chiron can you send some people over?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, why?"

"The only one here is Clarisse."

I groaned, "Send her over."

The vision faded and now water only came down. We screwed it off and then that's when Fang decided he just couldn't catch on to this concept.

" What are you really?"

"We're demi-gods. I'm the son of Poseidon and thi-"

"Are you telling me you're dad is a fish dude?"

"Yeah."

"It's either I was right about the lunatic thing or I need to be sent to get my hearing checked."

"As I was saying, this is Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and that's Grover. He's a satyr."

"He's a satyr! That is so cool. He's half sheep right?" Asked the little blond boy in excitement.

"Half… Goat…" Grover muttered. I turned back to Fang.

"Well?" I asked.

"Prove it."
"Fine I will." I came to the puddle of water the hose left, and I tried a new trick of mine. I focused on the water and reached a hand out. It rose, and then as I slowly made the ascent to my full height, the water followed. Then,

"That's-" Before he could say another unpleasant word, I drew back my arm and made a throwing motion and the water splatted him in the face.

"That's it!" He got up grabbed a pale of water and threw it on me. For a moment all was quiet. Then he noticed I wasn't glistening wet with water. He dropped the pale and dropped right where he was sitting into an upright position staring at the wet floor and my dry shoes and pant legs.

"You called?" A deep feminine voice asked.

"Clarisse."

"Percy." She walked over to where Max was and instantly Fang was up and alert, making sure no one hurt his girlfriend even further.

"We need to get her to Chiron as soon as possible," I explained.

She nodded. Then she carefully bent over to lift her head off of the youngest kids lap. Fang looked alarmed and said,

"I got her shoulders."

"I'll elevate her feet," Clarisse declared.

Fang grasped her arms ever so gently he looked as if he couldn't hurt a fly. But I knew all to well that it was not the case. He had just beaten us in battle and as if Clarisse had read my mind she said,

"It looks like you got in a fight. Who won?"

"They did, almost instantly. But I got her cut her side."

"I don't get it."

"What, You managed to help save the world but you can't beat a couple of kids."

"Hey!" Fang and I said at the same time.

"Sorry," Clarisse said.

We walked for a couple of minutes and then arrived at a familiar car. Then I recognized it as Argos's car. We all climbed
