Okay sorry for the long update gap but like I said in my update to my other story I have had additional commitments to take care of recently. So we are back on track with the story. Updates are going to be a lot slower with this story than the others because it is quite tedious to watch the movie and right down the speech to the letter. I was looking to acquire a script but currently I'm not having any luck. I am going to put a cap on the number of characters in this since I can barely squeeze in dialogue for everyone in the room.
'Hey G-man!' Percy yelled as Grover walked in munching on an enchilada.
'Hey dudes! Lets watch some awesome action.' Grover yelled back while dragging a bean bag over and sitting down with the guys.
As the guys started to talk about all the stuff Leo and the Stolls had done, Piper dragged Annabeth aside.
'So what exactly did you hope to achieve by brining another guy into this…. I hope he is not like the coach.' Piper said quizzically
'Yeah Annabeth, why did you bring in Grover if you hoped to counter team sausage fest over there.' Rachel said as Hazel and Katie joined them as well. Clarisse was still sitting on her bean bag. Apparently she had remembered that she still had her knife with her and she had started to jab a piece of wood repeatedly out of boredom.
'First of all, no, Pipes he is nothing like the cynical maniac Hedge is. Second of all, Grover normally doesn't act like that….' All of them turned around to look at the boys. As usual they were munching on a whole load of food while talking about some new game.
'Care to explain?' Katie asked getting more and more annoyed with the group across the room.
'Well Grover is normally a person who is more aware of others and their emotions, since he can read them, but I guess around Percy and co he is pretty much just as bad as the rest.' Annabeth wearily as she looked at Grover making cheesy jokes with Leo and Percy.
'So plan back fired?' Katie said
Annabeth looked back over to see that they Percy and Grover were trying to wrestle each other to the ground now.
'Yeah defiantly' Rachel finished
'So what now?' Hazel asked.
'Hey girls are you ready to start the moive? We were just filling Grover in about what happened in the first 10 minutes.' Travis yelled over from their little enclave they had made.
'We will just have to run with it.' Annabeth sighed as she got up and walked back to the main group of bean bags. 'Even though the average EQ level in the room just dropped a dozen points.'
After they all settled down again with more food, Travis un-paused the video.
The trail of smoke continued in the sky towards the village. Perseus turned around and ran. The fireball smash into the village square kicking up a big pile of dust, throwing debris everywhere.
Everyone looked at the screen intently. 'Now it's getting good.' Clarisse said with a smile, obviously relishing the violence to come.
'Great now we get to see Perseus kill some stuff!' Leo yelled while high-fiving Percy at the same time.
'Great, now we have to watch Percy's ego inflate so more.' Annabeth sighed
'Helius!' Perseus yelled as he ran into his house unable to find him.
The towns' people gather around the crater made by the chimera curiously. Helious ran in front of them wanting to take a closer look.
'They always do that in movies don't they?' Piper said remembering all the movies she and her dad had watched together.
'Yup, gather around the fireball that smashed into the ground from the sky because it is definitely not dangerous.' Leo said sarcastically
'Don't be so quick to say that Leo, you would definitely be curious if something like that happened in the camp.' Annabeth said with a sly smile.
'So what's your point? What does it matter if I would go near a big hole in the ground as well?'
'That, A, your proving a Hollywood movie stereotype correct and that, B, you're just as stupid as the people in the film.' Annabeth finished as everyone just sniggered at Leo. Leo decided to shut up for a while since he didn't want his ego to be battered by Annabeth anymore.
The chimera's tall trashed around hitting some of the people at the craters rim. Everyone began to scream and run as the chimera started to burrow and move through the ground.
'It's Chuck Norris!' Conner yelled as the boy began to laugh.
'Chuck Norris swims through land!' Travis shouted rather stupidly.
Annabeth grabbed Grover by the collar dragged him towards Rachel, Katie and Piper. 'What in Hades are they saying?'
'Urm…. Chuck Norris facts?' Grover said sheepishly
'So why are they funny or why do they make sense for that matter?' Rachel asked looking back to see Clarisse laughing as well and Nico and Hazel looking mystified.
'Well Chuck Norris is awesome and so everyone has these exaggerated facts about him as a joke. In Annabeth terms it's a satirical factoid….' Grover explained, now most of the girls were confused. Was Grover a mindless ape like the Stolls or was he a regular person like Frank.
'I don't get those jokes at all… Chuck Norris isn't even our generation.' Annabeth huffed as she shoved Grover back to his seat.
'Who is Chuck Norris?' Nico eventually asked.
'Tell you later, boy you've got a lot to learn.' Connor told him as the laughter died down.
The creature continued to plough through the ground kicking up dust and scattering villagers. Eventually it hit a house and surfaced causing a big explosion with traces of singed wooden shards. Perseus ran out of his house in shock as he saw the house go up in a black cloud. Perseus immediately flips over a table on his porch reached down and opened a cache with his weapons and armour. Perseus grabbed his sword and cuirass and headed into the town.
'We should have one of those' Travis said. 'We can hide all our contraband in there and sell it like in those mafia movies.'
'And none of you guys just heard that' Connor said to everyone else while nodding his head in Travis's direction. Everyone just looked quizzically at them or cocked their eyebrows, all not wanting to know what goes on in the camps black market.
The villagers were running in fear jumping into windows to escape the fire. Finally one of them got completely incinerated by the chimera's fire breath. Perseus drew his sword and charged into to the town, shouting for his son as columns of flame shot through the air. The chimera ripped through a wall and landed in a clearing between the houses devouring a person as its other head shot flames at the other villagers running by.
'Strange… I'd had thought that a chimera head a goats head sticking out it's back…. And I'm pretty sure it does have wings or a second lions head.' Annabeth said. Percy wondered how she had managed to analysis the creature in the show so quickly with only a five second look at it. Then again however she did that was the reason they were still alive now.
Everyone else just kept watching intently for action deciding that how or what a chimera looked like wasn't important to them
'Keep away! Its venom catches fire!' Perseus yelled
Perseus began to follow the chimera through town as it tore through builds. He was waiting for his chance to attack the beast and take it down. Perseus leaped from the top on the building on the chimera running his sword through the beasts back.
'That is so awesome.' Conner relished as he imagined himself taking down a chimera like that.
Perseus stabbed the chimera repeatedly as the creature trashed about wildly attempting to get him of its back. Eventually the beast through Perseus of his back and he landed in the dirt near a pile of rocks.
'I take that back….' Conner said again realizing it wasn't so easy to kill that monster.
'Helious! Go with them' Perseus yelled to his son as Helious tried to rush forward to help him.
The chimera began to trash around spraying it's saliva everywhere as it howled at the group of villagers near Perseus.
'That is just gross' Katie said seeing all the spit fly everywhere out of the chimeras mouth in HD.
The other villagers drag Heilous away as Perseus recovers and starts to fight the chimera again. He grabbed a wooden door from a pile of hay and used it as a makeshift shield to defend himself from the jet of fire coming out of the chimera's mouth.
'Okay that is just ridiculous, no way that is going to work.' Percy said
The wood held the flame at bay as it sheered pieces of. The heat that was searing the edge of the plank seemed to have no effect on Perseus.
'Now that is just stupid….' Katie commented.
'Wait… look at it. It looks like the force of the fire jet is pushing him back.' Grover said.
'That's Hollywood for you…. flaming gas suddenly has strong force behind it like a water jet and a row of wooden planks can protect you from it.' Piper said sadly. Sometimes she wondered how anyone in Hollywood came up with stupid things like that.
'Not to mention he's not even a little singed' Leo added.
The villagers continue to flee over the hill as Perseus fought the chimera. After the stream of fire had stopped Perseus threw down the now blackened piece of wood to fight the chimera head on. He continued to chase the chimera through the streets as it went on a rampage destroy buildings everywhere. Eventually the beast began to chase Heilous. Perseus eventually managed to find a way to get to his son through an alley. As he started to run towards him the wall on his right busted open and the chimera jumped out spraying fire everywhere in Heilous's direction. Perseus looked on in horror dazed on the ground as the corpses in the area were lit ablaze by the stream of fire coming out of the monsters mouths.
'Helious!' Perseus shouted in rage at the beast.
'Here! Come and get me!' he yelled getting the chimera's attention.
'Why have I heard that line in almost every movie like this?' Annabeth sighed as she continued to watch on broadly.
'You know Percy if we weren't demigods I wouldn't even be here watching this cheesy action movie with you.' Annabeth said tugging his sleeve to get his attention.
'mmmmm…. Yeah…. Sure….' Percy replied as he swatted Annabeth's hand away not taking his eyes of the screen.
The chimera turned around and charged Perseus, head butting him. Perseus grabbed on to the monsters horns as the creature continued charging dragging him alone. Perseus hammered the monsters skull in vain as it crashed through another building throwing him into the dirt. In the process the monster had gotten itself tangled in a fishing net.
'Watch this; I'm going to kick some major monster butt.' Percy yelled from his seat.
Annabeth just looked over sadly. 'I think his ego has finally gotten the better of him. He now thinks that he and the actual Perseus are… I don't know… the same?'
'You don't say Annabeth. You really should have expected this eventually.' Piper replied.
'Eventually both Percy and Jason are going to think that they are just as famous as their namesakes….' Piper continued.
The chimera tried to attack Perseus but apparently the net was bolted to a wall that was still standing. The net restrained the monster preventing it from biting or clawing Perseus to death.
'If it can break down a damned house how come it can't pull down the wall?' Conner said
'Told you, this is just some cheesy Hollywood movie. In reality mortals can't even see monsters.' Travis responded smartly for once.
The monster tried to bite at Perseus but it was just out of reach. Eventually Perseus recovered from the shock of the monster almost biting his head off and started to drag a chained anchor towards him to use as a weapon. The snake tail of the chimera started to hiss at him sizing him up.
'Why didn't the thing just breathe fire at him and kill him?' Conner commented.
'It's just a movie, and shut up will you?' Rachel finally said sick of the Stolls asking stupid questions.
Perseus shot the anchor at the snake tail bashing it back the first time. The tail reared its head again but this time he used the anchor and cut the snakes head clean off.
'That's some anchor' Clarisse said sarcastically.
Eventually the chain snapped and the chimera took off, oblivious to the pain of having part of its tail cut off and completely ignoring Perseus. Apparently the chain of baskets Perseus had landed on was connected to the net and the monster dragged him along on the ground.
'That's some shitty joyride….' Travis commented
Perseus was dragged across the town and through another wall as the beast attempted to get the net off of its self. The last wall was on a ridge and both he and the creature plunged a mere five meters to the ground. Both Perseus and the monster had become untangled. Now he was lying on the ground clutching his left arm in pain as if he had broken it.
'Bah… We've all survived worse' Grover said. Percy couldn't tell if the first part was one of his bleats or him dismissing the movie.
The monster tried to charge Perseus but there was a harpoon sticking out of its left heads neck. As it charged closer the chain reached its length and held the monster back while the harpoon impaled itself further, due to the force of the charge, into its neck eventually protruding at the bottom.
The creature whined in pain as Perseus got up suddenly free from the pain in his arm.
'Well his arm sure healed up quickly' Grover said in a condescending tone.
He then used a piece of the chain to hammer the harpoon further in, nailing its head to the ground.
'That's just sick. I'm gonna puke….' Katie said disgusted that she had seen a harpoon run through a creature's whole neck that was at least a third of a meter thick.
Perseus grabbed the chain on the Harpoon and dragged it around the chimera ensnaring its other head. He was on the ground holding its right head down with the chain. The creature growled and clawed at Perseus who was just out of reach in an attempt to break loose. While it's other head was twitching in pain.
'What are you waiting for? Burn me!' Perseus yelled.
'Okay… this guy has a death wish' Rachel said
'Don't we all.' Jason added. Seeing that most demigods when through this every other week he was surprised that any of them were still alive or wanted to be alive for that matter.
After that comment by Perseus the right head growled ever more fiercely at Perseus while the left head started to convulse, spraying its venom and or blood all over the sand from its mouth like a geyser.
'I think I'm gonna be sick.' Katie said as her hands shot to her mouth at the sight of the blood spewing forth for the creatures head as a result of being impaled by the harpoon.
'Looks like someone has a weak constitution.' Travis smirked. While the rest of the girls were unphased by the gore, and while most of the guys were cheering, Katie was the only one feeling squeamish.
'Don't you dare mention my fatal flaw Stoll!' Katie yelled. She had an unusual fatal flaw as far as any went; she just felt squeamish and didn't like gore, which suited her fine since she normally didn't see sever injuries most of the time and the healthy food the nymphs cooked up didn't make her puke like extra greasy fried chicken would.
'Woah Katie-Kat relax! I didn't even know that was your flaw. I'd had always thought that your fatal flaw was a bad temper.' Travis continued. He never did know where the line was with anybody.
'At least I don't have a compulsive gambling flaw like you Travis!' She shouted back. Travis knew it was true, he just didn't know when to stop sometimes with all sorts of things. Just now had been an example of it.
'Okayyyy, love birds, cut it out.' Conner said before the shouting match could continue.
Perseus released the chain and the chimeras head shot back. The head ignited the pool of blood/venom that had collect for the other heads mouth setting the whole creature up in flames. Perseus took cover as the creature slowly roasted to death in a flame caused by its now venom, unable to move because of the harpoon through one of its heads. Perseus looked on at the burning carcase before burying his face in the sand out of relief.
'Gentlemen! I. AM. AWESOME!' Percy said shooting out of his seat as the Perseus killed the chimera.
'Sit down Seaweed Brain.' Annabeth sighed for the umpteen time during the course of the show. 'The Original Perseus is awesome, not you.'
'Just had to burst my bubble Wise Girl' Percy replied shaking his head.
Alright, that's another chapter. Please give feedback on the story; once again I am not adding anymore characters since it can barely squeeze in enough dialogue for all of them. Okay so this was about four and a half minutes of movie time so you can see how much I am going to have to write to complete this story. Updates are going to be slower for this story because the chapters a tedious to write so please be patient. Anyway one chapter is roughly 3 grand words or a ten minute portion of the film, which ever I hit first. So you can expect at least 20 chapters eventually. So I hope you like the story so far.
I know by now you may be thinking Percy is getting really out of character and Annabeth is being too harsh. Well lets put it this way, Percy is having a good time with his friends and like most other people he starts to screw around and do stupid things for fun hence the behaviour and Annabeth I think would be embarrassed by this so I suspect her natural defence mechanism to that is to be harsher. Things are going to tone down a little in the later chapters so dont be deterred by this. I hope my explanation clears things up out how out of character out our two favourite demigods are.
