AN: To answer some questions that was just a short thing to get it started. Also Percy still has the curse of Achilles.

Percy POV:

As I was walking down the hill with the new kid I heard the campers at the top of the hill whispering stuff like:

"Wow did he just kill a fully grown hell-hound without any training".

I smiled to myself because I know how that fells from when I killed the Minotaur. When we got out of sight of Chiron he stopped and looked at me.

He said "I am the captain now". (Captain Philips reference)

"What do you mean"? I asked

He sneered and said "I run this camp from now on"

I looked at him like he was crazy and said "you will have to earn all of the campers respect first and with that attitude I don't think you will any time soon".

"We shall see", he responded.

"Okayy", anyway I will show you around camp. "Right there is the climbing wall and since you are a son of Zeus that will be your cab-

He cut me off and said, "I don't need your help weakling".

I stopped and looked at him and said, "Look I won't help you if you don't want me to but if you insult me like that you won be happy".

"Why should I care what you think"?

"Because it's respectful", I was up in his face now.

"Pfft" was his reply as he walked away.

Frank came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder; I turned around and looked at him.

"What did he want", He asked.

"He is a new Zeus camper and he thinks he is better than me because he killed a hellhound" was my reply.

"Oh, well try to ignore what he says".

"Thanks frank I'll try". Just then there was a flash of light and Hephaestus appeared.

He said, "Percy, I Have a quest for you".

"What would you like", I asked

"I seem to have misplaced an automaton of mine; it went haywire and ran straight into the ocean".

"So you want me to retrieve it"?

"Exactly".

"I'll be on it as soon as I can"

"Thank you", He said as he flashed out.

I said my goodbyes to frank and walked off to find Annabeth. I went to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door. Malcom came out and I asked for Annabeth. He said that she was over at the climbing wall. So I set off to look for her. When I found her I told her I was going on a quest for Hephaestus and would be back soon. She kissed me goodbye and I went to pack.

I through some ambrosia and nectar in a back and set off. As it turned out finding the machine was pretty easy but getting it to Hephaestus was a different story. It turns out this was a fire robot. You would think something like that would not work in water, well you would be wrong. This was actually a Greek fire robot so it spewed it all over the ocean. I had to find the off button quick before it killed some wildlife.

I manipulated the current to carry me around it I saw the off button on the back of its neck right before it turned and spewed some more flames. I then manipulated the current so it was as if it was grabbing the switch. I yanked down with my hand and the thing became a floating pile of metal. I grabbed it and swam to shore were Hephaestus was waiting. I gave him his robot and he said his thanks and flashed off. When I got to camp half-blood I was expecting the usual post quest drama with being bombarded with questions and staying up for hours giving answers, but boy was I wrong.

I always hate being on the receiving end of cliffhangers but it is fun to make you suffer. But anyway R and R for me thanks (:
