A.N. Cut of off one head, two more shall take its place Heil Hydra. Yeah I went there so this is Chapter 4 and yes I realize that I have not done a disclaimer yet well here it is I Ethan M. Hall do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Assassins Creed or anything save the plot of my own stories And Theseus Jackson. Ok with that out of the way I also realize that chapter 2 had some "plot holes" the sections skipped there were virtually canon just with Theseus being there. So I do apologize for that to the guest who pointed it out to me and to Guest… yes I do like Arrow (especially Felicity) also I have been given permission to do a reading of Queen's Champion and Lord Perseus Child of Rome by Anaklusmos14

"Hello Percy. I know that this must all be very disorienting… having no memory and all. But rest assured they will return with time but to start my name is Theseus Romulus Jackson...your twin brother."
Now
That was two weeks ago. Since then I had been effectively re-training my little brother. We had left the wolf house a few days later fighting our way through Southern California meanwhile all I can think about is what Michael told me Lucifer is rising which in other words bad for earth.
I am pulled from my thoughts by the familiar scent of the sea mixed with the pollution that made San Francisco feel like home I heard the distinctive rustle of leaves as someone… or something tried to sneak up on us I twist Midnight to existence and turn on my heel to face the source of the sound I draw an arrow with a slight light-sucking effect as I nock and pull the arrow a Gorgon Stheno to be exact comes flying out of the bush literally her small bat shaped wings carrying her into the sky I aim the arrow and release. It flies true piercing her heart I then put my right hand on Percy's shoulder and teleport us to Caldecott tunnel where two sentries stand in light armor one with a sword and spear the other an archer both level their weapons at me I throw off my leather jacket revealing my heavily tattooed arms including my SPQR and Draco as soon as they see the eleven lines on my forearm they pull their right fist to the chests in the rough positioning of their heart and drop to a knee "Rise Legionnaires. Take me to the camp." They nod and then look past me towards where the now reformed gorgons are hovering we run through the tunnel as we do I pull back a bit and cause a slight earthquake "You two when we get into camp tell no one that I am a legionnaire I want to surprise some old friends of mine." I say and pull my master robes on along with my hidden blades, Sword of Altaïr and matching dagger, flintlock pistols, air rifle rope darts, and a tennis ball on a string (A.N. over-sized monkey fist.) the wo soldiers nod and we continue running through the tunnel and come out on the other side when the effects of my earthquake take effect and a small portion of the tunnel collapses on itself to form a barrier between the gorgons and us but the dust cloud grabs the attention of the legionnaires on the wall a resounding horn sounds through the valley the call to general quarters as a swarm of heavily armed and armored soldiers flood out of the gates the group runs across the Little Tiber which washes Percy's Curse of the Styx away I stop in the middle of the river relishing in the feel of the roman water as opposed to the Greek that had been forced upon me for sometime. The gorgons fly out of the tunnel and towards me I close my eyes calling on powers I hadn't used in billions of years as I felt a slight tug in my gut as the river bent to my will when they open they are glowing with an ethereal light I open my previously clenched fists and raise my hands above my head and the water follows suit I thrust my hands forward and giant aquatic one do as well each grabbing half of Stheno who sees fit to yell
"You wanna piece of me?!" I just smirk at the insinuation and reply with
"No… I want two!" my right and left hands rip apart as does the gorgon in my grasp and my right hand crashes into Eurayle it wraps around her and starts to swirl in a whirlpool drowning and tearing her apart the same time then both arms return to the river and their remains are released into the ferocious current of the river of Rome I walk out of the river and collapse for effect when the male archer from before and Percy catch me after a few moments of shock the soldiers turn their weapons on us as I stand putting my hand on one of my pistols then thinking better of it two simply remove my hood from my face I told Percy this already but I had changed my features to make myself look different from him but my eyes look the same "My name is Shay Patrick Cormac. We come in peace, we wish to join the legion." They all look at us warily primarily the pistols and sword at my hips as well as the power demonstration I did then Reyna steps in having gotten my message the night before
"Well Mister Cormac if you and the boy behind you will follow me? Hazel you too." I follow non-plussed by the varying spear heads and swords pointed at me I just push them out of the way with my hidden blades and clear a path for Percy to follow we enter the walls of camp and for the first time in years I feel at home. We walk down the Via Praetoria towards the principia the moment the doors closed behind me two metallic hounds pounced on my chest knocking me to the floor and started to lick me as if they were real dog
"Aurum! Argentum! Get off me." They quickly hop off and I get up only to get a similar treatment by my favorite daughter of Bellona as she jumps up and wraps her legs around my waist ad her arms around my neck kissing me passionately on the mouth. While slightly shocked at her PDA I am not saying I was complaining at all since she was holding on to me her very… generous assets were pressed against me her tongue passes over my lip asking for entrance which I am forced to deny her because of present company she reluctantly gets off me and sits in her chair glowering at me and then Percy while she had gotten over her petty grudge at him for destroying Circe's Island on accident she was annoyed he virtually cock-blocked her she hears out his story and sends us towards Octavian and I am once again walking through the streets of home it is a relief to see forearms with the tattoos of home instead of virtually bare arms with scattered tattoos of Greek nature I see some of my old friends scattered throughout the city as we walk and cross into what is technically the Field of Mars I see Hannibal running across the field and suddenly stop nearly throwing his rider and charge again in my direction this time when he gets within twenty feet Percy and Hazel run to the left towards Temple hill I however run straight for the charging Elephant jumping onto the great Ivory tusks and continuing up his head where I grab the reins from the kid that from what I can tell is Fifth cohort child of Apollo first year legionnaire and drive him towards the temples and get him to grab Percy and Hazel with his trunk and toss them on top as well where I catch them and hand them off to the terrified teen behind me he stops just short of the temples and we slide off the other two giving me incredulous looks at which I just smile and continue up the hill towards the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus with them trailing behind me Hazel walks in first
"Octavian these are the demigods from this morning Reyna wants to know if they can join the legion." We looks us over and pulls a Beanie Baby™ lamb from his belt gutting it and spreading the fluff across the altar muttering literal gibberish not just some incantation he is speaking random Russian words and that is it he turns to us and says
"Yes they may join I will make the announcement at evening muster… and Hazel I would appreciate it if you were to vote for me at Praetor elections." His says cockily and it takes all of my will power to not release my disguise and slit his throat with my hidden blade we walk away and towards camp when Frank runs up and tells Hazel that Nico was here she walks towards Pluto's temple and Frank leads me and Percy to the baths which Percy is a little weary of being in a group shower I just walk right in and take my uniform off in the men's locker room and walk into the main "shower" area which in all reality is a large heated pool I use the mist to hide the SPQR and years of service on my forearm but allow all other tattoos to show from Draco that wraps around my arm to the Eagle across my back and the tribal flames on my left arm and the words Requiescat in Pace on my left side I see several other demigods staring at the sheer number of tattoos on my body but all nod in admiration at my musculature as I finish and get dressed I see Gwen walking out of the ladies shower into the central chamber where most Fifth cohort members were forced to put their gear because of the pricks in the first and second this gives me a chance to examine her tattoos as I know she has more than the one she only has one other that I can see and what it says surprises me Requiescat in Pace Theseus Romulus Jackson 818 2000 Helix what did they tell you Gwen she turns and makes eye contact I throw a quick wink at her and finish pulling on my weapons harness with all pistols and swords already holstered there when I walk past her to exit the showers her eye follow me and I grab her arm and whisper in her ear
"You may want to get that tattoo removed… you won't get rid of me that easily." I then walkout ignoring her sputters and calls for me to come back as I smirk and walk towards the Via Praetoria where evening muster will be in three minutes and fifty five seconds is see the Cohorts marching from their respective barracks in orderly…ish lines I see Reyna flying in on Scipio and Percy walking up to me in a purple T-shirt with SPQR surrounded in laurels and a fresh pair of jeans and combat boots I hear a series of announcements concerning War Games and Me and Percy when I hear a shield slam into the ground from my left and turn to the Fifth and see Gwen standing for me and Hazel for Percy we all dismiss to dinner where Percy and I sit with Gwen, Dakota, Hazel, and Nico. Gwen and Dakota start talking about plans for the games I interrupt "Has the power of the Fifth gone down in the past nine years?" when Dakota looks at me weird I see Gwen whisper in his ear and realization appears in his eyes he smiles and asks
"What would you have me do? Centurion?" I smile an evil grin
"Follow my lead."
Linebreak war games start
During prep Dakota told the cohort to do what I did or told them to do so I split them into three sections each with their own purpose as soon as the horn sounded to start the games one section starts pounding out a beat with their shields boom one unified slam boom, boom two slams, one, two, one, two. Then section two starts beating their shields with their spears and screaming out then the third starts forming a testudo waiting for my command I slam my foot down in the direction of the wall of their little fortress and a wave of earth builds up slamming down into the wall creating a hole wide enough for the section of the Cohort at that moment they all charge forwards with me in the lead I rush through the hole and into the central section of the fort where six first and second cohort soldiers stand with the Banners behind them I pullout my air rifle and a unique berserk dart that knocks out the victim and aim it at the smallest of the six fire and walk right past them grabbing their banners and walking out using the rods as staves hitting all opponent out of my way once I get out of the fort I plant the Imperial Gold rods in the ground and as everyone comes out behind me I hear a scream I turn an see Gwen laying on the ground with a spear jutting from her abdomen and something inside me snaps the leather and Imperial Gold armor ignites in Greek fire the leather burning into ash and the gold melting and creating a pool at my feet I turn on Eagle vision and see a gold flash in the back of the group trying to back up away from the now flaming figure Eagle vision deactivates and so do the green flames but also my disguise disappears and my telltale cerulean blue eyes (now glowing) appear and the soldiers part like Moses did the red sea and Octavian slowly backs up… straight into the wall but the moment I step away from Gwen's body I hear I gasp as she wakes up yes wakes up and I realize that my son was nowhere to be seen. I slowly pull the spear from her stomach and turn to Octavian again the look in my eyes portraying everything my heart is saying "you are a dead man" I flick my wrist extending my hidden blade but before I can do anything about killing him Mars shows up and goes on some rant about me Frank and Percy being on a quest with one other and then teleporting and Reyna telling us that there will be a senate meeting in the morning that we have to attend
Linebreak next morning
I sit up ten minutes before I have to get up and then I snap my fingers and the sound rings throughout the barracks and all necessary demigods are up and dressed in what they roughly need to wear which for senators is just what they were sleeping in so they get dressed in their togas another resounding snap and my pitch black toga appears with Moon Razor at my side where I can easily draw it if it comes down to it with Octavian I get up and walk towards the town seeing other senators standing waiting for their partners in their cohorts some are walking towards the city but I walk towards the 'bank' that sits just inside the fort's borders where I give the pseudonym James Jackson and access the security box I keep there where I pull out a very old scroll that is in a new case I nod at the attendant and thank him for his help then continue on my way towards the city when I am about to cross the border I here Terminus's voice "Mr. Jackson! You know better than to bring that sword into my city…" he is cut off by me grabbing the handle of Moon Razor and spinning taking the head off of the statue and sheathing the sword in the same motion while everyone stares at me in disbelief that I just beheaded a god I continue into the senate chambers where Reyna and Octavian are already obviously arguing about something probably me I walk down to the third row which is pretty dark for where it is but I can hear rambling threats about how he is going to do something she will regret if she doesn't support his power grab but he stops when the others come in much less quietly than I did all save Percy, Hazel, and Frank avoid me and those three sit behind me virtually using me as a shield as Octavian starts ranting about bad omens and quests he says that the choices for the quest will make it fail and that it should be filled instead with him and his choices etc… etc… etc…
"Silence!" my voice rings out as I stand and pull up the scroll from beside me "For those of you who do not know who I am... my name is Theseus Romulus Jackson." Queue gasps from young inexperienced senators who know my name only from legends of the fifths glory from my youth. "What I have here is something I found some time ago… these are the laws of Romulus." Queue more gasps "It states here that all senators of Rome can hold no more than two positions else a monopoly is formed… does any here know how many positions Octavian here holds? No? The answer is three Augur, Senator, and Centurion. The penalty for breaking this rule is either A. stepping down from the extra positions or B. execution. Now as I am not an unfair judge I will give Octavian the chance to step down and not run for Praetor before calling my uncle. Also as for his claims to all members of a quest being filled quest article 112-001 'Any quest issued by mortal or divine must have at least three but no more than five members… the leader must be centurion rank or higher or have at least ten years of service… and all members have selections to any of the legion's resources." I turn to the now frozen in fear and anger Augur "So Octavian I am going to give you one I repeat ONE chance to give up one or more of your positions in the legion… choose wisely." He nods opens and closes his mouth a few times before deciding on what he will say.
"Liar! Those are false papers and false laws!" he wants me to prove it? Fine
"I Theseus Romulus Jackson call on Jupiter god of the skies, king of Olympus, and lord of judgement." There is a flash of lightning overhead and between myself and Octavian is Jupiter Optimus Maximus
"You called nephew?" Jupiter asks with a twinge of amusement in his eyes having heard the whole conversation
"Yes uncle this young man." I point past him to a cowering Augur "Does not believe that these are the true Laws of Romulus and as these are part of you domain I thought you might wish to verify or deny his claims." I say with a triumphant smirk as I hand Jupiter the scroll and he reads it over and then hands it back
"Well Theseus these are the true Laws of Romulus in fact they are the original copies." Octavian's face drops as Jupiter disappears and all look at him expectantly
"Well Augur? Your choice?" I growl out he looks forlorn to lose any power but nods
"I will resign from my position as Senator of Rome." He says glumly
"Ok then Reyna is it Okay if I lead the quest to free Thanatos? You know he and I go way back." Before she has a chance to reply Octavian cuts in
"But you are neither a centurion nor do you have ten years of service so you cannot lead." He smirks irritatingly I shrug and show his my arm the eleven vertical lines and the trident all glowing a very dangerous blue color along with my eyes. He nods acceptingly and sits down when Reyna dismisses us to plan out the quest as we walk into town Moon Razor becomes a watch and my toga shifts into my normal clothes we walk into a small Italian restaurant/café called Auditore's ironic actually considering Ezio and Sophia are some of my best friends we order our food and take a seat on the patio enjoying the calm Californian summer while discussing our travel plans seeing as I know that we will be stopping in Seattle with the Amazons and in Portland to see a harpy named Ella maybe I can call Beca and see her there too? But there will also be some time where we are traveling through the Canadian wilderness to get to Alaska.
Line break San Francisco dock
I looked over the Pax and winced the navy had never been glorious even during the Empire's height but this was pathetic Percy got ready to clean the boat but I stopped him and whistled one long monotone note and my ship The Black Eagle with her pitch black sails and 45 guns to a broadside as well as triple guns and proper chase cannons on the stern rose from the sea in a violent fashion (The Flying Dutchman's rise Pirates of the Caribbean 2/3) and pulled into the dock the others looked on shocked as I smirked and climbed aboard The Eagle where all crewmen bow in reverence of my rank. The other three members of my quest climb aboard behind me and are lead in to the crew quarters and I head towards the helm and see the 'First mate' who is in charge most of the time because I am busy "Set a course for Portland, Oregon Master Gist."
"Yes sir!" he exclaims I walk down into my cabin which was modeled after Shay's from The Morrigan except Assassin Enigmas instead of Templar Crosses I am sitting at my desk when I hear four sharp knocks
"Enter." I give a simple command as the door opens to reveal the three young Half-bloods. "Yes Percy?" I say as I cast my eyes up to look at them from the paperwork in front of me, primarily Assassin field reports and updates from the various bureaus across the world, with the occasional update on Desmond Miles from my agents in New York. I can tell my companions have questions many of which I cannot answer at the moment for fear of over-whelming their petty human minds. "Please sit for I am sure you have many questions." They all take seats from various parts of the room each glancing at the impressive weapons collection on the starboard side of the room from a simple African spear all the way to a brand new M4-A1 with reflex A-COG sight, a suppressor, and laser pointer. Once they are all settled I crack a slight grin and a breathy laugh thinking of where to begin "Okay this is my ship The Black Eagle I would say it was a gift from a friend but I built it myself… close to five hundred years ago when there was an accident with my powers. So that's that anything else?" I ask. And of course Frank replies
"When's dinner?" I just shake my head at his attempt to lighten the mood but can't stop the slight smirk that appears as I send for four plates of dinner consisting of Steak, Mashed potatoes, green beans, sweet tea, and a milkshake they all eat as if they are ravenous wolves, ironic considering that not two decks down are the wolf pens. Not two hours later we are called to the deck as we have arrived in Portland I pull out my IPhone and send Beca a quick message
T: Meet me at central library, thirty minutes.
B: Okay see you then.
We then continue on to a nearby park where I can hear a weed-whacker and screaming random things about chickens then I see Phineas who since he died has not changed much still blind but now fatter due to him being released from the torment I set to him for speaking to many of the plans of the gods and myself "Hello Phineas I see that you are eating well." I say with a hint of crass and humor on hearing my voice he stops harassing the harpies, who appear to be under the same curse as he once was, and turns to face me.
"End. I can't say it is good to see you but you're to thank for my loss of sight aren't you." He says now focusing all of his attention on me not even noticing the harpies swooping in and stealing food as his dead blue eyes bore into my own lively blue ones then he comes at me with his weed- whacker on full speed and swiping side to side as it comes in close back flip over landing on the shaft of the tool forcing it out of its hands and bringing my knee down on his arm forcing him to the ground with my forearm pressing between his throat and his clavicle(collar bone) constricting air flow just enough that he cannot attack me but he can still talk
"Where is Alcyoneus' lair?" he smiles and I can see all three of his teeth
"You will have to bring me that smart Harpy to find out." I get up off of him and take some food from the table seeing as I noticed the smallest quickest and smartest one also got robbed the most so she ended up with nothing to eat I walk down the road Percy and the others following me when I see the Harpy on top of guess where? Central library and standing in front of it is my half-pint cousin Beca Mitchell wearing; jeans, a white tank-top, a flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled to her elbows, some boots and her head phones around her neck she in all of her 5' 2" glory for all of the 'badass' façade she put on ran towards me the moment she saw me I had just enough time to hand Percy the bowl of whatever I am holding before I am wrapped in a rare Beca Mitchell hug.
"Hey short stuff." She punches me in the shoulder for that "How are you doing?" she smiles none the less
"I am doing fine Theseus. How are you and who are these lovely people?" she asks and I see her rake her eyes up and down Hazel before donning her signature smirk after short introductions are made(every pun intended) we make our way through the library and are on our way to the stairs when Percy suddenly punches a bookshelf hard enough I hear a distinct crack of a dislocated finger Beca turns around as if she were struck and stares wide eyed at Percy "Percy?" she asks he takes a deep breath and nods as if to say "I'm fine" we continue up to the roof where we see the red feathered Harpy in a small nest made of duct tape and cardboard muttering over some papers or another we talk her into coming with us but after Phineas tells us the location of the base we walk away and into a park where we can have lunch Frank, Hazel, and Percy having one conversation while me and Beca talk "Hey Theseus… I have to tell you something." She says timidly
"Yeah Half-pint?" I say with a laugh
"I'm… Gay" I laughed at the expressions worn on my friends faces and at her admission
"You gonna tell me somethin' I don't already know Half-Pint?"
"What! How did you know that? Wait don't answer that." She says confused then takes a deep breath then gives me a look
"I have known you your entire life kid."
Linebreak Seattle
We sat on the bow of The Black Eagle talking about modern society mainly pointing the fact that most are pretty excepting of Homo-sexual behavior these days to Hazel. Once we docked I unzipped the hood from the cloak and put it in a pocket of my coat. I led the others through Seattle to the Amazon headquarters, once we got there I dropped a smoke bomb and walked to the doors in the back of the room pulling my compatriots with me when all of a sudden Kinzie yells out.
"Dammit End! Again?" I let out a breathy laugh and speak a string of commands in Russian and the Amazons all hooded my companions and hand-cuffed Percy and Frank. As we walked through the so-secret-it-doesn't-exist bunker that Amazon was packing down here I could feel the tension between the Amazons that always seems to follow one being …
"Otrera." I snap under my breath and my hand sneaks to the flintlock on my hip and my other hand snaps my collar up in the distinctive format known from Shay's time wearing this design of robes. We walk into the "throne room" of the bunker and I see Hylla and Otrera yelling at each other from their perspective positions my left hand tenses, springing my hidden blade into action replacing the finger I lost to gain it. The schnnk attracts the two people's attention and Otrera turns meeting my now blood red eyes then her eyes widen to a near comical size but I am not laughing. She draws her sword or rather Achilles' sword and takes a swing which would have cleaved my arm from my body had I not twisted out of the way. I retracted my hidden blade and drew the Chaotic Silver dagger designed after the Sword of Altaïr on my right hip, which I drew soon after, swinging to knock her sword away from my head and then bringing mine towards her own which she blocks with her shield causing a slight struggle till I, with a smirk, drop to the ground on my back and plant a two footed kick to her chest even through her heavy chest-plate there is an audible crack as several of her ribs break and she drops her sword and shield next to my head falling back both gripping and not gripping her chest at the same time I leap up and land on her chest my hidden blade springing forth once more. I hold my hand, pulled fully back. "What are you doing here Otrera?" I snap putting slightly more pressure on her ribs she winces before replying
"Taking back my throne." She says in a garbled voice thanks to the blood filling her left lung
"Not today bitch." I say and her eyes widen once more as my hidden blade falls landing in her forehead sucking her spirit into the Chaotic silver composition as her body dissolves into it as well. I hear a hammer click into place with my enhanced hearing. My right hand snaps to the pistol on my hip and rips it out aiming it at the heart of the young woman with the revolver in her shaking hands I saw golden tint to her eyes and lowered my aim and pulled the trigger shooting her in the leg causing her to drop the pistol. I run up and put my hand on her forehead where my consciousness is drawn I then see a girl tied up and watching a screen where an Eidolon is in control I walk behind driving my hidden blade into his back and into the heart of the creature where it then dissolves. I cut open the girls restraints and flash back into my body
Line Break
I sat in Frank's Grandmothers guest room with my legs crossed beneath me meditating. I was thinking of the first time I had met Alcyoneus
Flashback
"We need to move." My companion hisses through her teeth I turn back with a smirk to see the reddish-brown hair of my companion framing her golden with annoyance face.
"Calm down Phoebe Artemis. The disguise is almost complete." I say then finish with a slight laugh, Apollo was right bothering her is fun I take the club of the imbecile before me and chain him to the floor of the cave we then set out with me handing Zoë the hair clip he wore which immediately changes styles to a more elegant, more feminine one. She nods her thanks and draws her black bow, one of the few thing she can thank her father for, which immediately nocks an arrow for her. I then draw the longbow that Heracles uses and set out towards the battle field only to find that Zeus has already started fighting with the giants and each took on their own bane save Artemis who had busied herself with both Orion and Gration I pull back the eagle feathered arrow in my hand aim so it would hit Orion in the eye then charging it with lightning to destroy the robotics of the damned thing. Artemis saw what I was doing and followed suit hitting him in the forehead at the same time as my arrow hit his eye. Zoë then proceeded to shoot Gration repeatedly in the chest. I then turn my attention the two oldest rivals Hades and Alcyoneus. I run over to their location right next to the edge of Greece I fire an arrow into his skull which should have at least stunned the bastard but he just smirks and starts to laugh. I see his wounds healing "Merda." I curse then say "Uncle we must get him over the border." I yell he looks confused but has no time to question me as I run forward right for Alcyoneus' legs which I grab the scaled lengths of and use my divine strength to lift his gargantuan weight and start spinning around in circles gaining momentum then angle him so he will fly over into Lebanon I then run up to his semi-conscious form pulling out the club on my hip and slamming it into his skull and Hades stabs his sword into Alcyoneus' chest. He then looks me in the eye.
"You're not Heracles." I shake my head smirking "Then who are you?"
"A friend of the Twins of Delos here to end this war." He nods and we continue besting the Gigantes.
End Flashback
Hazel then enters the room telling me that its morning I look at my watch and sure enough I had spent nearly seven hours reminiscing. I nod and grab my enchanted backpack the same one that had gotten me through the initial trip to Camp Jupiter that had often carried Jason's small, three year old form. It had also been taken with me to the pit. I walked up to the attic/ arsenal we had found last night and handed everyone shotguns with Cretan Lead shells. They all gave me strange looks till I explained the ammo then they all 'ah' as I walk downstairs and reach into my bag for my favorite firearm a Colt .45 Magnum. Its black pearl handle was real pearl from a Machravian fire oyster, a Blood Diamond for the bead sight. It was one of the last things Chaos made it was one of a set of 9 she made for me and my Archangels each had a diamond to match their eye color so no two were alike and each grip was the preferred color of the being so only mine and Michael's had black. I check its enchanted barrels to be sure each are loaded not that it was necessary but it was a force of habit from years without an enchanted pistol. We walked out and each brandished our shotguns or pistol in my case but whatever and try to get to the car out front unnoticed… it doesn't work "There! The food ran that way!" I roll my eyes and flip the setting from 'Mortal-underworld' to 'Monster- Tartarus' then spin around, and pull the trigger hitting the Laistrygonian in the chest utterly destroying every organ in his chest cavity. We then ran towards the car the sounds of gunfire blaring
"Percy give me your shotgun and drive." I shout out "Hazel gun. Frank take passenger and shoot anything in our way save the Cyclopes we will encounter next to the airfield." I holster my pistol and take the two shotguns offered both lever action I stand in the skylight both shotguns out pointed in the direction of the chasing Lastrygonians we sped down the road and I flipped the guns forward cocking them, then snapping them back firing two .12 gauge shells of buckshot into the giants ranks once we reached the airstrip I see Tyson and introduce him to Ella. I then hand a shotgun to both of them each took them gingerly only then do I notice they are blushing like Arno and Elise when me and Ezio talk about hot air balloons. (A.N. I'm sorry… not really it was funny.) We nod and they head south towards Caldecott tunnel on Mrs. O'Leary. I run into the cabin of the plane handing the pilot the letters from Reyna and Mrs. Zhang he nods and as soon as Frank has closed the door to the jet we are speeding down the runway I fall into the co-pilots seat pulling on the headset "Senatus Publusque Romanus my friends next stop Anchorage, Alaska." I say into the microphone in front of my mouth.
Linebreak
Arion stops at the top of the glacier below me my wings draw together as I land then retract into my back and I hear Arion cussing like a sailor on Saturday night at a trucker's convention. That is until he sees the Roman camp before us I pull at the necklace around my neck and my armor's true very Greek form appears mostly black with a silver moon, green waves, and a blood red, glowing Assassins enigma. All of my companions gasp at the beauty and horror of the armor only enhanced by the faceless helm with two glowing blue orbs where my eyes should be I smirk even though they cannot see it and walk away from the down the Via Principia of this camp they scramble after me Frank and Percy running on the ground Hazel riding Arion. Alcyoneus comes out to meet us his army of ghosts as well. I see my son Thanatos chained to the ground on his knees cloak drawn over him. "Frank you know what must be done. Percy, Hazel take care of the ghosts… I will handle Alcyoneus." I say in a very commander like voice that I only used when in battle I draw Verititum et Iustitum and advance towards the gigante before me his rusted iron scales gleaming in the afternoon sun. He drew his large phone pole size staff and smirks thinking I am just a cocky half-blood. That is until the part of the glacier we're on starts breaking away and towards the Canadian side of the ocean he starts to freak out swinging franticly at my form each of his strikes however are blocked by my shield once I see his skin go from gold to bronze I really start to move running behind him I slash his Achilles' tendon. As he falls I run to his head slamming my sword in to his forehead killing him. I then spread my wings and fly over to the others to see Percy wielding the Eagle and raining lightning into the hurricane surrounding him spitting that lightning in a thousand more directions than should be possible. After all the ghosts had fallen and the armor had been found and brought to the surface we fed Arion and left on our four hour journey to San Francisco the moment we stop on Caldecott tunnel and see Tyson I hop off of the chariot put two fingers to my lips and let out a shrill whistle I see a shadow stretch until Black Night gallops out of the shadows his mane burning with hellfire and Blackjack lands next to Percy nuzzling his master I mount Black Night and gallop into the fray my armor activating as I draw my sword beheading monsters left and right leaving a trail of golden dust behind me I jump off of Black Night and run for Polybotes seeing him destroy the aqueduct I shoot arrows into the chinks in his armor to annoy him then I run toward the edge of the city but I hear Percy tell in pain. I turn in time to see Polybotes finish the swing that knocked the wind out of Percy and hear him say "I was born to oppose your father boy. I will kill you son on Neptune." I then speak deactivating my helm
"Then who the fuck are you talking to? That there is a son of Poseidon. I am 'The True Son of Neptune'." I bellow out he turns in time to see a pitch black arrow with a silven one not too far behind slam into each eye I turn to Artemis and nod my thanks for helping with my ruse she then fades away as she teleports back to Delos then I am being picked up on a shield with a chant going around starting with Hazel and Frank then Percy and Reyna
"Praetor, Praetor, Praetor." I see Octavian's face turn red with rage as the chant is taken up by all member of the legion and I am carried back to the mess hall and a celebratory dinner begins
Linebreak next morning
I wake up at sunrise on principle to a blaring headache and the feeling of being sandwiched between two women and yes I know they are women because I can feel very feminine curves. I sit up and see Reyna (no surprise), and Hylla (big surprise). I slowly disentangle myself from the female warriors, then write a quick note that is none of y'alls business. I leave the building and head to Temple Hill. Once arriving I go to what's left of my father's temple if seems to have been hit by some sort of catapult type thing… or a fist… mine. And use my time powers to repair it then I spread it out to encompass the entire camp and repair the buildings. After breakfast there is a squabble of events such as me threatening Octavian… again maybe he will learn this time… probably not. And the funniest part to watch is Percy getting judo slammed into the dirt by a 115 lb, 5' 2" daughter of Athena who then kisses him from sitting on his chest the worst part however is the eidolons stealing Leo and attacking the city we leave the area and I cast a spell to hide us from any prying eyes.
Linebreak up to this point in MoA Theseus became a side character
I saw Percy and Annabeth hanging from the edge of my former prison Nico and Jason on each side I looked into fate and saw they had to go to the underworld but I can only send one person to help them I snap my fingers and Nico and Jason disappear Percy nods and lets go of the rope Jason and Nico run to the edge of the ship just in time to see me jump down in to the pit after them grabbing them to expedite their fall then we disappear
Finis
A.N. Hello everyone it's me again. I just wanted to say thank you to (guest) I Heart Vamps for getting my attention back to the last part of this story. If you guys want chapters more often even if they are shorter I can do that. Did anyone notice my Pitch Perfect hit? Beca is going to get her own spin off featuring Theseus and Perseus or rather Ethan and Percy her overprotective cousins at Barden. I also threw in something only those whose parents are awesome enough to let them see Terminator or are old enough to see it any way will get. And a little bit of pushing for my second favorite Assassin's Creed ship Arno Dorian/ Elise de la Serre. Also next chapter will be a series of flashbacks to End age. If y'all thin that deserves a series of oneshots I can arrange that also if any of you can tell me why there is a moon on Theseus' armor CORRECTLY you get a shout out. So read and review and please don't kill me when I tell you who dies for the prophesy (P.S. not Leo I have other plans for him) so y'all can guess and if someone gets it right I will post the Fall of a Hero chapter early (Yes I already wrote it I cried the whole time cause I love the character but she/he/it needs to die for the story to continue.) R&R see you next time.
