Sorry for not being able to update. I'll make this chapter extra long for you guys.
I'm talking like 2k + words :)
Enjoy!
It had been days, no, not days. Years. Years of practice to master one form. My hellhound form. It took years to master just one. How long would it take to master all of them?
Here's your answer. Forever. I couldn't have mastered my forms without inviting then into my body, letting them see through my eyes and feel through my body. They informed me of what to do in their forms, and gave me tips and tricks. In my giant form, I could carry a cannon ball like it was a feather. That was the second form I mastered. I could control the feral instincts of the forms that tempted me to kill everything. I pushed them away, into the back of my head. Then I took control.
Out of every form I had, which one was the most powerful? Which one was the strongest? Which one could help me most?
I don't know.
I've been trying to make a hybrid form. I had a cyclops form and a giant form. I tried to combine them to get the fire resistant properties of the Cyclops and the overwhelming strength and power of a Giant. Eventually, I found a way to do this. I called upon the Cyclops form, and chose the fire resistant skin. I didn't go all the way with the Cyclops, and then called up the remaining 75% of the transformation to become the Giant. I then built a fire that was massive, and I walked right on into it. I was not burned at all.
It worked. It fucking worked.
Don't mind me. I'm just a line-break for another point of view.
Unknown POV
"Get out there and find me more contestants! We're running out of those that have power, and skill! Find me more, now!"
"But sir-"
"I WANT TO HEAR NON OF THAT! YOU WILL FIND ME MORE FOR THE ARENA, IF YOU DON'T I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR ETERNITY!"
"Ye-Yes sir, may we take the sleeping darts?"
"Take as many as you need. Come back with promising results or else." A massive axe appeared in his hands.
"We will come back with results, I swear it my lord."
"GOOD! NOW GO!"
Don't mind me. I'm just another line break. Fucking writers abuse us, send help!
Percy POV
I wandered out of my cave to go get more power for my forms. I've slain countless hellhounds now, and my power was almost at a level greater than that of a Titan. I could take them on in combat, but I lost most of the times. I didn't just fall over and die. I gave them a run for their money.
I just saw my targets. 5 Cyclopes moving in a group. This is great! I get 5 for the price of one.
I changed into my hellhound form and ran at them, hoping to catch them off guard.
Oh I caught them off guard alright. But before I could do any damage, I felt a small sting in my arm. There was another cyclops, hiding behind some rocks. I morphed into my Giant for and pounded him into dust, and then turned to the others. I felt more stings, and heard then laughing.
"OOOhhoh! Boss is going to be happy!" One said to the others.
"Damn right! We wont be punished! We caught a shape shifter! This is great!"
I wasn't done yet. I looked at my arms and i had 3 darts in one arm and 2 in the other. I could feel myself getting sleepy, so I quickly charged them and pulled a rock out of the ground and threw it at them as hard as I could. It barely made contact because of the darts, making me tired. I felt 6 more stings in my back, and I fell over.
"Hoo ar yu gise?" It sounded slurred, and messed up when I asked them who they were.
"Don't worry about that now! You're coming with us!"
They threw a net over me, and I was brought to a place I never saw. A place where I heard screams. I heard screams of pain. I heard swords clashing. I heard cheering.
Then it stopped abruptly.
"Perses! We have brought a worthy fighter!"
Wait... Perses? Perses, as in the Titan of Destruction!? Oh no! This is not good! I started to flail around, trying to get out.
"You will release me unless you want to die! Do you hear me! I will pound your bones into dust, and I will feast on the marrow! I will make sure you cant walk even when you reform, I will shatter you bones! I will destroy you mind and body! I will make you useless! I WILL DESTROY YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Is that the new contestant I hear? Shouldn't he be sound asleep?"
"It took us over 20 darts to get him to fall into a state of sleep! He wasn't even fully asleep then!" They all said in unison.
"What!? Over 20 darts!? What is he!? Even I couldn't stand 20 when I was first brought here and rose through the ranks to be the ruler of this place! What the hell are you!?" He yelled, confused.
"I am your destruction, I am what will send you down into the Arena again when i'm done with you! You do stand a chance against me, trash! I will punish you, I will send you down into the arena and make you start over again!"
Chill out Percy. I fought Perses once. You do not stand a change against him in your current state. You need to calm down! I heard the powerful voice of Algos say to me.
I took deep breaths, in and out. I calmed down.
"What do you want from me? I've been brought here against my will, so I take it you want me to do something for you? Not many people have been able to capture me since i'be been sent down here by the gods. What do you want, Perses?" I spat his name like it was a disgusting food.
"I want you to participate in my Arena."
"Fine. Just get me out of this fucking net and i'll fight in your whatever it is."
Before I knew it, I was in the dungeons. I heard a voice say "Perseus?"
"Iapetus? Is that you!?"
"Yes it is! I missed you my friend!"
"Is anyone else here? Like Damasen or anything?"
"Yes. I am here. Why are you here Percy?"
I instantly looked down. Painful memories I long forgot boiled up the surface, and I relived them all.
I instantly wanted out. I will get out. I will kill everything. I will kill Perses. He will know pain.
My voice broke. "I don't want to talk about that."
I nearly broke into tears. I lost all happiness I had. Why me, I thought.
Come on Perseus. Its okay. You can get out of here if you take the power from Perses. He controls this Arena, and if you kill him you can take his seat of power. You can control this Arena. You can escape.
Really? You think that is possible, Algos?
I know it is possible.
Thank you Algos.
No problem.
"Perseus, what happened?"
"I was banished here for a crime I did not commit. I was disowned by Poseidon. I'm now a fatherless Demigod. I have no control over water. I have no more powers."
"Do you want to be our child?" Iapetus and Damasen asked me at the same time.
"I'd love too!" I responded eagerly.
They both blessed me, and I felt power surge through my veins.
"Show us what you can do, Perseus. You are not brought here if you're weak."
I morphed into a form.
"No way... I don't recall you having that power the first time we met." They both said, confused
"That's because I didn't. I was cursed. A curse that makes me transform into ANY monster I kill." I responded.
"I have many other forms as well. This is not my only one, but the only one i'm willing to show you."
I was called out into the Arena, in what i'd say, was 2 hours.
"Here we have the great Perseus Jackson! He slayed Gaea, and saved the gods of Olympus twice by slaying Kronos! He was banished after saving them, apparently for a crime he didn't commit! And now, he is a fighter in the Arena." His voice boomed
"Perseus! I have a offer for you! If you survive you first 20 battles, of course each one will get harder as you get closer to the end, I will allow you to challenge me for the seat of power! However, if you fail and are defeated you will serve me. You will do whatever I say, and you cannot fight it! What do you say, do you accept?"
"I, Perseus Jackson accept your proposal. Now, get on with it. Give me my first fight *yawn*".
Then a massive being walked out of the other side.
"What the fuck are you?"
"I am the King of all Hellhounds! You will respect me!" He boomed
"Pft, yeah right. Im going to take you down so easily it wont even be funny."
"You should know, I can only be defeated by another hellhound. You don't stand a chance, demigod!" He practically laughed.
"Bet."
I morphed into the hellhound form, which was almost his size from all the hellhounds I killed. I almost let the feral instincts take control, but I pushed them back. I slashed and dodged, I bit and retreated.
Then, a voice in my head said Kneel. You cannot fight your king.
I responded with Hah! You expect me to kneel to you? What are you, insane?
It was a very intense fight, each of us sustained deep wounds. I changed into my Giant form, and smashed him into the ground, then quickly went back to my Hellhound form and tore his throat out as he was pleading for mercy inside my head.
I felt myself grow in size. I grew in power. I felt all powerful.
All the hellhounds who fought against me lowered their hound.
Raise your head. You do not need to bow to me.
But king-
I am not a king. I am a man who freed you from you previous leader.
But that makes you our king! Our rule is whoever kills the leader is the next leader!
Fine. I accept.
Suddenly, a head splitting howl was spread throughout the Arena, and i'm sure it even went to the Earth.
Dont mind me. I'm just another line break. Stupid author cant do anything without me.
Artemis POV.
A ear splitting howl went through the night.
She flashed to Olympus faster than you could say Kazam, and called a emergency meeting for the gods.
"Did all of you just hear that howl?" She asked, concern evident in her voice.
"Yes. Do you know what that was?" Zeus asked.
"Yes."
"That was the crowning of a new hellhound king." She said.
"But who has that kind of strength!?" Everyone asked.
"I think you all know the answer. And I think you know that if he gets out we're all as good as dead." She said, she was scared.
"Perseus Jackson... The one we banished. You think he could stand up to us?" Zeus boomed.
"Yes. He could kill us easily if he so desired. The king of hellhounds is not a easy fight. He rules over the hellhounds. Every single one. They kneel to him when they are told too. They are his army."
"This is not good. We must combine the camps to make a army to fight just in case the Hellhounds come after them." Zeus said, he was clearly concerned.
Fuck you author! You dont control me! I will not be used again. You will do what I say! Now be a line break!
Percy POV
"First off, you all will only kill those that have wronged many people. I don't care if you kill demigods. Go crazy on them! However! You are to spare those that are the son or daughter of - Hades and Aphrodite. Spare the hunt as well. Do not attack the hunt or else there will be hell to pay."
Yes lord, We understand. Are you going to punish those that fought against you?
"No. I am not. Its not like they had a say in who they fought. They were told to by the former lord."
You are kind. Thank you lord.
"You are welcome. What is your name?"
My name is Ryan.
"You are now my second in command. Come, sit next to me."
I transferred some power into him.
Thank you so much, lord! I feel so strong now!
"Spread the word to the other hellhounds. Go quickly, before any more deaths come. Goodbye Ryan, I hope I see you again.
Another fucking line break for you guys. Oh shit here he comes, I was never complaining!
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I made it extra long because I couldn't update on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Sorry about that!
