A/N Hello! This is my edited version of the first chapter! The old one was so bad I was a little embarrassed to read it. Well, enough of my issues. Let me present you the 1st chapter of Strengths and Weakness.
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson
Third person P.O.V
Up on Olympus:
The gods were in a council. Today's topic was that they need something more entertaining in CHB and CJ and for the demigods.
"ATTENTION!" yelled Zues. All the gods who were bickering, stopped and turned their attention to Zues. "Let's go in a circle, to decide, later we will have a vote. Or if I instantly agree, that idea is going to be the idea," Zues looked at everyone.
"Hera, you may talk,"
"My lord, I don't know what to do, let the next person, go," Hera bowed. Zues nodded.
"Aphrodite," She squealed.
"We should make a Percabeth magazine! Or something to do with Percabeth or Jasper or Frazel, or something with that death boy!" Aphrodite shrieked. "Oooooh" She waved her hand like it was on fire. "We should do a love competition! Who is the most cutest, romantic and the best couple in doing s-
"I do not like this idea, especially my daughter with that kelp head," Athena said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, I especially do not want my son, with that thing doing er stuff," agreed Poseidon.
"Okay, thank you Aphrodite, Demeter,"
"We should do a farming competition! Wheat, wheat and more wheat!"
"Er thank you Demeter," Zues mumbled. "We'll keep that in mind."
"Artemis,"
"Father, I wish to vote, not give an idea," Zues nodded.
"Athena,"
"Something with knowledge, I want my daughter to kick that sea spawn's butt," Zues said, "We'll also keep that in mind," Zues nodded towards Poseidon's fixed glare upon Athena. "Brother you may speak,"
"Surfing, water stuff, something to beat her daughter" Poseidon said.
"Apollo,"
"Haikou competition"
"Dionysus,"
"Big party,"
"Hermes,"
"Prank war!" Zues nodded, apparently thoughtful of a prank war between the seven demigods.
"Hephaestus"
"Pass"
"Ares,"
"We should have a tournament! A round robin followed by a tournament," Ares smirked though his shades. Athena, nodded apparently satisfied.
"Good idea, a way to beat Percy Jackson," she said that name with distaste.
"A good way to beat Annabeth," Poseidon said through gritted teeth.
"Stop," Zues commanded, "A vote, Aphrodite," 1 hand shot up,
"Demeter," 1 hand shot up.
"Athena," Surprisingly, no hands shot up,"
"Poseidon" No hands.
"Apollo," 1 hand.
"Dionysus," 1 hand.
"Hermes," 1 hand.
"Ares," 6 hands.
"It is decided, We will have a fighting tournament, the only problem is how?"
"I may be able to contact Leo through a dream, sending a request," Hephaestus suggested.
"Okay, you do that Hephaestus," Zues clapped his hands. "Dismissed."
Time Change:
Leo P.O.V
Somewhere near CHB
"Hey Cal?" I called to Calypso. Calypso looked up. "We're near CHB, just like a hour left or something, I'm going to take a nap," Calypso nodded.
"Oh and don't secretly drool on me when I'm asleep, because uncle Leo always knows," I winked and the last image I saw was a blushing Calypso before drifting off into a dream.
Static Hello? Static Hephaestus face glimmered.
"Dad?" I asked.
"Son," Hephaestus answered. My face glowed if it could glow in a dream.
"Congratulations, Leo,"
"Thanks dad,"
"We recently had a godly meeting-
"Must be happy and fun and friendly"
-and the gods decided that after the er little chaos, we gods say that the seven demigods and um Nico, because he was part of it, shall have a little" Hephaetus hesitated. "Fun"
"Oh boy, what kind of fun is this?" I answered sarcastically.
"Yes this fun is really interesting suggested- Hephaestus scowled. "That was sarcasm wasn't it?"
"No"
"Humph, suggested be my half brother Ares. He wants a tournament, more specifically a round robin followed by a tournament. No fights, but I think secretly my brother wants some fights. Hopefully no friendship shall be harmed. You listening son?" Hephaestus said. I was starting to build something...
"Er yeah, and"
"Well when you get to camp half blood assuming everyone doesn't have a heart attack, humph, you will get a prize. And that prize is um that you request a tournament, requested by the gods."
"And why would I do that?"
"Don't you want some entertainment? The gods are all into this, whether or not it will be good I don't know, but if you don't do it, the gods are going to get mad at me and you for not doing this, do I make myself clear?"
"I guess father," I mumbled.
"Good, I will send you back into the mortal world, you are almost there to your camp,"
"'Kay, bye dad,"
"Bye son, and Leo? I'm proud to call you my son,"
2 min 'til camp half blood
"Calypso, Calypso wake up!" I shook Calypso. Calypso groggily rubbed her eyes.
"Huh? Are we in danger?" She asked sleepily.
"No wake up!" I set my hands on fire. Calypso merely looked up.
"Well if you are not going to snap out then, this probably will do." I looked at our surroundings. Hmm, good enough to wake up the demigods in camp half blood, maybe with luck, Frank and Hazel are here.
"WOOO! YEAH! WHO DEFEATED THE EARTH GODESS? LEO DID! WHO SACRIFICED HIS LIFE? LEO DID! WHO CAME BACK TO LIFE? LEO DID! WHO FOUND CAMPHALFBLOOD WITH CALYPSO? LEO DID! WHO WOKE ALL YOU GUYS UP? LEO DID!" I hollered at the top of my lungs. Calypso scowled. "You didn't have to do that," I grinned.
"I don't have too, but if you didn't notice everyone is waking up and coming to greet da great Leo! Why? Everyone loves Leo!" Calypso rolled her eyes. Sure enough, everyone came running out, either in pajamas or t shirts and shorts. Mostly the first one. I landed, careful not to fall headfirst into the grass. That would be embarrassing. Piper came running up to me. Bam! She slapped me HARD.
"Oww," I winced. "What was that- SLAP
-for?" I complained.
"That's for not contacting us, and the second one because you are annoying," Piper said with awe.
"Well, beauty queen, that's why I'm here, right? To annoy you,"
"Ahem," Jason cleared his throat. "It's good to see you back Leo, we thought- we thought you- you were de-dead," His voice cracked.
"It's good to see you too," Jason gave me a hug, Piper gave me a hug, Frank, yeah Frank he was here, gave me a hug, and so on. After a bajillion hugs later, Chiron announced,
"Hero, the gods announced that you have one wish, what will your wish be?" I took a deep breath. If I don't follow the gods, well, that would be bad. If I had any wish I wanted, well, I already have everything I need; Friends, a girlfriend, and a home. Well then, the tournament it is.
"This is a gift to the gods, er the gods requested it. We will have a" Cue the drumroll. Cue the silence.
"Just give us your damn wish Leo," Piper said exasperated.
"Tournament. Fighting tournament. No killing. Knock them, unconscious," The words came right out of my mouth. "No pets. If you have to, thrust your blade under their throat or at the heart, but don't kill. No harming our friendship." The seven were wide eyed.
"The participants are, ahem Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo and Nico!" Nico scowled. "Why me?"
"The gods said so,"
"Anyway, here is the schedule. A round robin-
-What's a-" Percy started. Annabeth punched him and whispered the definition to him.
"Followed by a tournament. Winner gets a slap on the back!" I grinned as if a slap on the back was the best deal ever. "Here are the battles;
Round 1:
Hazel vs Nico, Piper vs Percy, Annabeth Vs Frank, Leo vs Jason.
Round 2:
Nico vs Percy, Piper vs Hazel, Annabeth vs Jason, Leo vs Frank
Battle 3
Nico vs Piper, Hazel vs Percy, Annabeth vs Leo, Frank vs Jason
Battle 4:
Nico vs Annabeth, Hazel vs Frank, Piper vs Jason, Percy vs Leo
Battle 5:
Nico vs Frank, Annabeth vs Hazel, Piper vs Leo, Percy vs Jason
Battle 6:
Nico vs Leo, Percy vs Frank, Annabeth vs Piper, Jason vs Hazel
Battle 7:
Nico vs Jason, Percy vs Annabeth, Piper vs Frank, Hazel vs Leo"
Percy mumbled something about getting humiliated. Annabeth laughed and said "Remember one year ago? I promised I will never make anything easy on you?" Percy muttered something about Piper making her doing embarrassing things.
"Hey" Piper exclaimed.
"Percy, I can give you a hint, Charmspeak. Ears. Sound waves. Sea of monsters. Charmspeak has weakness. Of course I won't say what it is, Piper won't have a fair battle!" Annabeth muttered. Piper laughed. Percy made an attempt to kiss Annabeth. Annabeth side stepped Percy and judo flipped him over her shoulder.
"Oooh" I yelled. "Burn!" Annabeth smirked. Percy groaned.
"That's what I get for being a good boyfriend? Riddles?"
"Yeah Percy, Use your brain for once." And Annabeth kissed Percy like there was no tomorrow.
End of the edited chapter 1.
A/N There you have it! I think that was way better than the last crappy chapter. Maybe worse. Not much romance. Too short. Next will be longer, I promise. Next is Nico and Hazel, blah blah blah. I'm going to update every Saturday, blah blah blah.
