Sorry for the crazy long break, I needed to get my thoughts more together with this story, but here is a new cchapter and I'm pretty sure I should be updating more as I have nothing really planned until August.
Thalia burst through the doors of Olympus, she looked absolutely livid. Percy momentarily wondered if he'd ever seen anyone so livid. He knew she'd probably punch him in the face for just disappearing and reappearing the way he did. However she didn't, she hugged him...and then she punched him, right in the jaw. Percy didn't hug her back and simply staggered back from the blow, not in pain or shock, just from the sheer force.
"You jerk! Where the Hades were you!?" Hades cleared his throat at his voice being used.
"I cannot tell you that information Thalia, I'm sorry."
"If you're really sorry you'll tell me where you were!" The dark haired girl challenged.
Percy simply shook his head, the next person to come running in were Nico and Tyson, Nico was now a god, and Tyson was a lot bigger than before.
"Percy! My brother, you have returned," had Percy not kept an eye on Tyson he might have been shocked. Nico looked older, around the age of 18, he was slightly taller than Percy.
"Oh look who decided to join the living," Nico joked smirking at him.
Percy then told them about the mods and it seemed Nico was the only one not prying to know exactly what was going on, Nico just wanted to go destroy the mods and get back to his duties.
"How do we destroy them?"
"Same way you destroy anything else, they're not strong here, or at least not in small numbers or out of their own realm."
"Okay, what do they look like?"
"They look like shaddows, a human like shape, but you can see their eyes which are an azure like blue." Percy quickly answered Nico's questions.
Nico crossed his arms over his chest and nodded, "when do we start?"
"Now," Percy suddenly drew his sword and swung at the dark figure which twisted away from him. With the next swing the sword clashed into the shaddow like being, it sounded like two swords clashing until Percy dragged the sword up and a scream of agony filled the throne room.
Percy said nothing as he put riptide back into its sheath.
The thought was unanimous although not said everyone could tell, Percy was not himself anyway and secrets be damned they'd make him back into the friendly seaweed brain they knew and loved.
[Line break]
On estimation Percy calculated that there were about twelve mods on earth, all of which being attracted to the death of one of their own would be in the vicinity of them.
"Wonderful they're social creatures," Dionysus sarcastically sneered.
Percy noddee, "very much so, however they can't help but I mess with certain things, places they'll want to be are bodies of water, the subways, and the hospital, we should split up into groups, naturally I will be near the bodies of water."
They decided on everyone's posts, Artemis, Apollo, and Thalia would go to the hospital. Nico, Hermes, Hades, and Dionysus would take the subways. The last group was Percy, Poseidon, Tyson, and demi-god son of Apollo who was returning from a quest of retrieving something of his grandfather's. Percy was first skeptical but something made him say fine.
They dispersed to their stations quickly and seamlessly.
"Perseus-"
"Father, the company we are in does not matter, regardless I cannot tell you anything."
"Percy- I...I just don't want you to be suffering."
"I am not suffering father, it is fine, and despite what you may think I do not feel betrayed or let down by you."
Poseidon said no more as they stood over the water, Poseidon and his sons couldn't feel any more at home.
Ryan, the son of Apollo, just stood rocking on his heels. To Percy he seemed like Wally West aka Flash.
He had big blue eyes and gold hair like his father's. He was wearing a sky blue t-shirt and khaki pants with a black belt.
He didn't seem like much, but Percy probably didn't look like much at his age, the boy seemed to be maybe 16-17 year-old. He didn't seem like he was new to quests so Percy imagined he'd been on a few, he also had one long pink cut on his face, it seemed new and not too deep.
It had only been a moment and Percy saw a group of kids seeming to be on a school field trip returning on a ferry, and at the same time he saw the mods.
Ryan was the first person to draw their weapon, Percy expected him to draw a boy and arrow, but no he drew a sword. Percy drew riptide just as his father drew his trident and Tyson drew his club.
It didn't take long at all for then to defeat any of them, in fact Percy was slightly insulted at Lord Califrow's inference that he'd need help, but not even Percy could be at different places all at the same time. He was absolutely certain the others were having just as easy of a job as he was though.
