It was quiet a logical decision to get Jason to fight Dave. Or at least I think so. Dave was a pretty powerful guy, and you could just tell by standing in his presence. Jason was the second most powerful demigod, because the first one had disappeared. Again.

This time Percy's disappearance felt different for me. Yes, it was as much a surprised that he suddenly disappeared and I am trying not become an emotion wreck again. It's just that this time I know how to deal with it, though I would be a little bit more depressing if Dave wasn't trying to convince everyone that Hera was the goddess of flamboyantly gay men (that was one of the best insults about Hera I have ever heard and it wasn't even intentional).

So anyways, I dragged Jason to the arena to fight Dave because I myself did not want to fight him. I was leading the blue team in capture the flag and Jason was leading the red so he may as well get a little beat up before the game while I see what Dave is truly made of.

"Dave," I announced once I got Dave and Jason in the same place. "You're going to fight Jason."

"What?" Jason asked. "You brought me here to fight him?"

"Bring it," Dave just said.

"I'm not fighting a mortal," Jason argued.

"Oh you wanna be that way then I'm not fighting a bastard son of Zeus," Dave started. "Because I'm pretty sure Zeus is married to the goddess of flamboyantly gay men. Wait, didn't Zeus once get it on with a cow or something? Or was he a cow then he got it on with someone. Wait, I don't want to know. Bestiality and shit is gross."

After Dave's short monologue Jason just looked at me like this was the reason why he didn't want to fight Dave, insulting his father, Hera, and probably many gods in the future.

"Just do it," Annabeth commanded Jason. "I want to find out how much he knows about fighting."

"Alright," Jason sighed. He pulled out his sword and turned to Dave, "Let's make this nice and quick, alright?"

"You sound like you don't like me," Dave scoffed pretending to offended. "But sure. Prepare to get served like a dude on butler island."

I sat back and watched to see who would try to strike first. The sky began to thunder and Jason tried to advance on Dave, by Dave jumped out of the way. And by jump I mean that he jumped like eight feet in the air before landing right behind Jason. Jason spun around and tried to swing at Dave, but Dave blocked it easily. Dave looked Jason in the eyes before jumping back and standing up not looking Jason in the eyes. Dave had a taunting look about his body manor adverting his eyes to the ground and slowly lifting his free hand to beckoned Jason to him. Then, he began to rap.

"Is that all you got Grace?

Then you might want to brace.

The Strider storm is coming your way

And we don't give no time of day

You are gonna be served cold

So get ready to behold

The dirt you'll find in your face

When you hit the ground in disgrace

Turn about turn around

The Strider show is in town.

So let the alarms sound

And give the king his crown

You're nothing too big

Just a bastard son of a sky king

Show you startin' a renege

Just get a taste of my sword's sting

I'm the knight of time

It's my time to rhyme

I'm in my prime

Don't commit no crime

Just have to climb

Spent out on a dime

Cuze a dime's all your worth

Just wait till you see my girth

See Davesprite's fiery rebirth

Just taste the earth

My rhymes go worldwide

And you can't hide

We're at a national divide

Created by an evil pride

But I don't need to abide

Cuze I have time on my side"

It was curious to watch Dave rap as he watched Jason, it was almost like it was a chant that kept him going and gave him power. Even with Jason trying to distract Dave with lightning, thunder, and whirlwinds, Dave continued to fight. He defied gravity by jumping eight feet straight in the air, or jumping off of the walls of the arena like he was Spiderman. He not only used his sword but even kicked Jason in the face a few times.

Even though Dave was a fighting machine, there was something dark happening as he continued to rap. The raps seemed to get darker and deeper into his memories, and I had no idea if Dave even knew what he was saying or recognized what he was saying.

"For this power I had to die

Become a god but don't get no Versailles

Play the game where life is just a driveby

Death's just another guy to defy

Watch the time see a lot people say goodbye

On the top of the world we thought we were so high

But nothing could prepare for the worst

To win we got kicked down in the dirt

And all we get is cursed

To keep these memories that hurt

Haunt out dreams at night

Where we loose without even a fight

The deaths we couldn't save

The friends that lay in their grave

People we could've forgave

But a second is what we crave

This game has taken us enslaved

And even broken the brave

I'm no hero and will never be

Won't every overcome the powerful seas

All could be destroyed by Condie

Where she controls oversea

The Felt's stealing my mind

Taking my time to bind

Leaving her blind

Hope she could find

But she was left behind

Her heart is broken by love and hate

In the end all she was is bait

For the broken friendships that lay aside

By a friendship that in the end was denied."

Dave was heavily getting into the rap and I was tempted to end it because they were getting darker and darker as we traveled through Dave's subconscious. In the end, it was not me that stopped the battle, but Dave himself. Well, not this Dave.

Dave was continuing to fight Jason when suddenly a second Dave came up from behind Jason and tripped him up. Dave stopped his chant to look up at the second Dave not looking surprised.

"Dude, lay up on raps," second Dave informed the first Dave. "You don't even know what you're talking about. Yet."

"Alright," Dave replied to himself. "Thanks dude."

"No problem bro," the second Dave said before a red cog symbol appeared below his feet and travel upwards taking the second Dave back to wherever.

"What," Jason began. "Just happened."

"My future self just tripped you up and stopped me from intensely rapping about my feelings and other things," Dave calmly informed Jason.

"Your future self?" I asked confused walking over to Dave and Jason. "And what were you even rapping about?"

"No fucking clue," Dave replied to the second question.

"So nothing about that one blind girl or the game that you remember?" Jason asked.

"The game I was talking about is Sburb," Dave answered. "I think that was an old rap I made a while back when I was alone. Well, not the Jason-taunting part of the rap. The Jason-taunting part of the rap I just came up with."

"Thanks, real genius," Jason answered sarcastically.

"But everything else, I don't know," Dave finished up his answer.

"So, then what about your future self?" I then asked.

"Myself from the future. He-or I-came back for one reason or another. I don't know," Dave answered.

"So you can time travel?" Jason stood up.

"Yes," Dave replied.

I looked between Jason and Dave before stating, "Dave, you need to see Chiron."
