A/N Sorry for the late update, I just got back from my football training and had a friend round after School.

The Forgotten Hero

Percy POV:

As I woke up I slowly got to my feet to look around. I saw a tramp snoring loudly, cuddled up underneath some cardboard, and another on trying to light a fire with some matches.

I was still waking from my sleep, rubbing my eyes when someone hit me in the back of my head, I darted round to see who had struck me, it was a tramp, he wore a black trench coat with torn denim jeans for trousers, he also had on a red baseball hat. His face was littered with scars and scratches, and when he went to speak he opened his mouth to flash his yellow teeth with more than a few missing.

"Who are you?" he slurred, obviously drunk.

"What does it matter to you?" I retorted.

"Well you slept in ma spot," He pointed roughly to were I used to be.

"Yeah, I don't see your name on it," I said getting frustrated.

"Well don't sleep there again or I'll have you," he said grinning.

"Well unlike you, I don't intend on staying homeless," I spat, it may of been harsh but I honestly didn't give two. As I strolled away from the man, he attempted to throw something at me in aggravation, but simply slipped and landed head first into the ground with a large thud. I change my mind he was drunk and high.

Anyway after that brief encounter I continued to think about my plan, I would travel to Chicago to meet the person in my dream, I thought remembering my dream.

(*Flashback*)

As fell in to a deep slumber, under the bridge, I woke up in a car and was travelling along a highway to Chicago, as I neared the city, the car stopped at a road side diner, I walked in, not because I wanted too but because I was in a dream, the diner had scum written all over it , I mean it literally had the word scum gratified on to it with the typical Mike Luv Suzy next to it. Anyway when I entered there was no one else in apart from an old man in the corner reading a newspaper, weird normally no one is in these sort of Cafe past 12. I traveled over to him in autopilot mode and sat down opposite him, he didn't hear or see, so I knocked on the table, shaking the newspaper he was reading. He put it down on the table and looked at me, he had light grey receding hair a stripy sweater on with brown trousers on, he looked over the table at me his beady eyes scanning my face, analyzing me. As I stood up to leave he said.

"You must be Perseus Jackson, I have been expecting you." He croaked, smiling and signalling me to sit next to him, as I stood up and walk over to him I woke up.

(*end of Flashback*)

Anyway I said remembering the dream I am heading to Chicago to meet old creepy dude and then I would head off west to Seattle and finally to Toronto and then I would be free. I predicted at moving at these speeds I would be there in roughly 2-3 months.

So how would I get to Chicago, well in the dream I got there by car so I guess I would have to nick one. Not the hardest of jobs I had tasked myself with, so I walked underneath the bridge, and headed for the western side of town, were I hoped to spot a car dealership.

I had walked for what seemed like ages through town and out the other side, I had noticed the general cliques of society, the wannabe rapper drug dealers who had trousers down to their knee's and riding BMX around the town. He also noticed the white girl shoppers, who were caked in make up and had brand after brand after brand of clothes on, they also had been holding what seemed like bags of clothes which were all bought with daddies credit card. He knew he didn't fit into society here he was an outcast. He had a messy slightly over grown hair cut, with tattered clothes covered in mud and who knows what else. He noticed the girls giving him disapproving looks at him.

At the other side of Cleveland he had noticed there were far less cliques and groups of people instead more people on their own minding their own business. It was a ghost town compared to the streets of Cleveland. He tried asking for directions to the nearest car dealership, but got no responses or grunts of 'why do need to know' or 'I don't know'.

Finally after asking one more person, they actually had given Percy some useful info, they had told him to take the first left on the street and follow the road until the end. Percy eagerly followed their instructions to the given location.

As he neared the dealership, he started to draft a plan, he decided he would ask for a tour round the cars, and a test drive off what looked like a fast one, and when he got given the keys he would floor the person showing hi around.

I walked to the doors at about 11:30. I opened the door and walked to the lady behind the desk she didn't look up at me, but asked me for my age I lied convincingly to her making up 22. But she didn't believe me when she peered over her classes at me and had asked for my birth certificate or passport. Luckily I knew I would need these but unfortunately it didn't say I was 22 on my passport, so instead of causing a raucous I simply told the mist to say it had 22 written on my passport. She seemed to falter whiles reading but gladly accepted it and continued with the routine question my name where I lived and my ability to drive a car. I lied again and she believed.

She told me to sit in the waiting room whiles waiting for a worker to show me round the cars. This had all seemed to easy it seemed fishy maybe she had already phoned the police, but they never came as I continued to wait for my worker. After about of waiting a man walked in holding a clipboard.

"Are you Marcus Peters?" he asked, looking at his clipboard.

"Yes I am, are you my guide to the cars?" I asked.

Yes Marcus, yes I am, now would you like to follow me," he signaled to the door he had entered through.

After about half and hour touring the cars, I spotted the one which I thought would suit my journey, it was a red Ferrari Enzo, it looked a bit out of place, but I knew it had killer speed.

I turned to man who I had found his name was Ted, "Ted could I possibly try out that car there."

He looked back at me baffled,"Sure, but it'll cost you, that is are last one."

"Okay, how much 50 bucks."

"70" he immediately responded.

"60 and you have a deal," I smirked.

"Okay, but I warn you it is fast."

"What ever pass me the keys," I said as we stood next to the Ferrari.

He dropped the keys in my hand and as soon I went to unlock the door I turned back to Ted sweeping my leg under his and knocking him over, or so I thought instead, he hopped over my legs and threw a punch at me.

"What th-" I manged to sputter out before dodging the flying fist coming for my head. I grabbed it in midair and and twisted rapidly to the left, breaking it but what I saw next baffled me even more. He started to grow until in front of me stood a 7 foot cyclops. Who simply broke free of my grip and jumped backwards.

"I didn't want to do this but now I am afraid I am going to have to." I said menacingly uncapping riptide and drawing it before running at Ted. I lunged for his one big eye dodging his swing of the club in my direction. I was about to finish him before I was suddenly knocked back by a huge knock of air to my side which sent me flying to the left of the monster. I stood up groggily to see what had struck me. It was then I sore a wind spirit materialize next to the cyclops.

"So Demigod you plan on stealing my car? You will have to get through me first." It laughed. I drew riptide and charged, dodging the blasts of wind and slowly getting close to the cyclops who was standing there swinging his club. I now stood 5 meters away and lunged at him he attempted to block my strike but I instead changed direction and slashed him across the other side killing him. Before I could bask in the victory I was struck by another blast of wind by that blasted wind spirit, killing her would be another story, he did however have a plan he started to charge at her stepping to the side when the next powerful blast came at me, and instead of approaching any further I looked at her 20 meters away, and launched my blade at her sailing high in the sky over the next blast of wind aimed at me, which did indeed hit me launching me backwards, grazing my back and hurting like hell as well, I expected a finishing blow to strike me but nothing else did, and when I finally did look up there was nothing there but riptide lying on the concrete on a pile of golden dust. I was relieved because if it had of failed i wouldn't of been able to drive the beast of a car, I was in now.

I sped down the highway and in about 5:00 I spotted the diner I saw in my dream, it was exactly the same with graffiti covering its walls and tattered door which loosely hang open. When I stepped in I spotted the man, but before approaching I looked around the diner no one was in bar the man if course, I was just checking for a escape plan in case this was of course a trap, I was now a lot more cautious now after my experience with Ted the cyclops and his wind bitch. I could hop out the windows which looked pretty beaten up already or jump over the bar and head out the back. Great I was planning on how to escape a old man.

I approached the table, with the man on, he sat there reading the newspaper which looked to be dated at about 1964 27th March. Weird anyway I knocked on the table shaking it before he realized I was there, he dropped the newspaper on the table, looking at me. The only thing I noticed different was that he had a wicked tan and had no wrinkles as well as bright blue eyes.

He cleared his throat dragging my attention from those beady eyes that he possessed, he spoke with a groggy voice,"Oh hello Perseus Jackson I have been expecting you for a while now."

"Excuse me how do you even know me?" I asked

"Well Perseus, I have seen you in my dreams and I see you achieving great things from now,"

"Like ..."

"Well Perseus that is me to know and you to find out." he grinned

"Fine but why do I need to see you,"

"Well Per-" he was cut off by a small explosion, I rushed to the window to see what happened, and there before me was a burning car that was my Ferrari, who ever had done this was going to pay. I ran to the door to find out who ever had done this. I turned to see a bunch of bikers, who sat on their bikes looking smug at the wreck of my car.

"Hey, why did you guys do that to my car?" I shouted.

"What you say you speaking to me." One said pulling out a knife

"Yeah I am talking to you. I'll ask one more time. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" I shouted getting frustrated

"Fun suppose," one chuckled

"Well I'll guess I'll have to show you what you got your self into," I said pulling out my pen before turning it into riptide. If they were mortals they would see me holding a pen but many stood back and gazed at it."Not so tough now." I said striking a visible nerve in what appeared to be there leader. He turned back to his men before they started to laugh at him. Before stopping abruptly and started to grow and grow until before him stood 4 laestrygonian giants all brandishing some sort of weapon or object of destruction two held big rocks, one held fire in his hand and the last a 5 foot sword much longer than his. Well this should be easy he thought.

He held riptide in his hand and charged at the group, when he neared the group he decided to attack the two Giants throwing boulders of metal at him he managed to narrowly avoid one by rolling to the side before again beginning his charge again. He jumped high in the air before the giant could react and brought his sword down on him, this is when the fire one decided it would be fun to start his onslaught of attacks, by chucking them at him and the now brawling giant, who he had locked in a fight. The giant was trying to hit him with the metal boulder it held but Percy would keep on dodging it before trying to strike but hitting his ball of metal first, he had started to back up against a pillar holding up the roof of the outside diner, with the giants in front, he then thought as a ball of fire went narrowly past his face that he could use the giant with fire launching skills to his advantaged, he rolled forward so he was facing the fire giant with rock man behind him he then started to taunt the fire one with a middle finger to the giant. The giant with anger built up a rather large fire ball and hurled it at him, he knew this was going to happen so as he predicted he side stepped away and watched as the massive ball of fire rolled towards the giant and hit him, killing him instantly.

Now there were two. He knew the leader wouldn't attack him until he had finished his other buddy. He had guessed this by his lack of involvement. So that left him to fight the one with fire. He looked around the environment before he saw something which he would get his just revenge. He casually walked away dodging fire balls before then breaking into a sprint and reaching a petrol can which happened to be lying around near the side of the entrance. He picked it up and ducked as a fire ball gave him a short trim at the back of the head. He than stood up and made his way to the giant with slowly biding his time before he was about to just release the ball of fire he lobbed the can of petrol at him and as he released it, it hit the can and exploded killing the giant.

That just left him and the leader who was brandishing his sword whiles watching the Demigod fight.

"Hmmph," he snorted,"now you have defeated those scrubs I would like to see you take me down." He charged. He was very fast considering he stood at nearly 8 foot, and in no time he would reach me. I took my stance ready to parry his effort. He swung down at me with incredible speed and force almost knocking riptide out of my hand. This continued for awhile whiles I tried to look for a break through. This had been going on for about 25 minutes and I was beginning to get tired, but so was he even though he wasn't tiring as much as me it did mean I could get inside his defense, but before I could, I slipped tumbling onto my backside, it was now or never I had to try this I pencil rolled to the side missing his down strike, which cracked the pavement even more. As I rolled I stood up facing his side and as he turned to attack me head on I rolled forward under his sword and has I approached his legs I turned my momentum in to a slide and sliced through his groin area to his stomach before sliding out the other side and skidding to a stop and pulling myself up plunged my sword into his back and he exploded into gold dust.

As I stood up I heard clapping from the door of the diner. There stood the old man clapping, I had almost forgotten who he was but I walked over to him to see if he was fine.

"Yo there are you alright there Sir."

"Yes I am young Perseus, now I know what my Dad was moaning about when you turned him into a tree."

"Wait what I did that," Percy racked his brains thinking who he had turned to a tree, but only one sprang to mind Hyperion, but Percy didn't know of his children."So you are Hyperion's Son."

"Yes Percy I am Hyperion's son, you may know of me as Helios Titan God of the Sun. And before you ask I am not Apollo but we have very similar jobs. But as you can see I am fading." He said gesturing to his old body."Well before I fade I think I will bestow you as my Champion, this being because after watching years and years of Heroes die, I believe you are one of the very few who warrants my blessing. So here it goes." He smirked before I was hit by a blinding golden light coming from his fingertips."Also Percy I have hidden your scent from the Gods and given you a make up." He said prejudicing a mirror. Percy stared deep into the mirror he rather liked what the God had done he now had a brilliant golden blonde head of hair and bright blue eyes. although he did notice all of his bodily features were the same, with maybe some more defined muscles on his abs and arms. "Plus Percy I have also given you a new power you could say, it is the ability to burst into a ray of bright light and I have also given you a new weapon if you want it, I have called it ummm... ahh there we go SunStrike, it has the ability to turn from that golden watch on your wrist", I looked down to the new watch that I swear wasn't there originally, "well it can now turn from a watch to sword like riptide to a spear which is made of pure light, and will blind your opponents in battle, and if it break it simply will return to watch form rady for another use in about a minute."

"Well thank you very much Helios, I am honured by your gifts," I bowed gracefully to so my respect, "and Helios have you got any postcards I could send to my parents I need to keep them informed."

"No sadly, why dont you just Iris Message them instead." He said

"Thanks, good idea." I said making my way to leave to road.

"Percy, take this it is my ride, and plus a friend of mine wants to see you in Minneapolis, she would be very pleased to see you. He said chucking me some keys and pointing to the newly formed BMW in the car park.

"Cool. Cheers man I'll tell her you sent me, by the way where is she," I said turning back to him, to find him he was no longer there. Strange

Well off I go I guess, here come Minneapolis.

A/N Again sorry about the late update, expect 3 chapters in the next 2 days, this will make up for me not updating on Monday 8th due to me having a long afternoon club which starts at 7pm and ends 10pm taking up most of my evening.
