First Arc: Percy Vs Hercules, Clash of the Geniuses!
It had been a whole year since Percy and Hercules challenge. Percy arrived at the classroom, his body emanating the steady force of a Level Five Warrior. Hercules was not there however. For once piper's nose wasn't buried in her book. Rather she was looking at him worriedly." Hercules called you to the arena". She said with a tense expression. Percy laughed." well then I can't keep him waiting now can i?"
Piper glared at him." You idiot! He broke through! He's a Level Seven Warrior! You are not his match!" Percy chuckled then said." That remains to be seen!" piper gave an angry huff then turned away." If you're going to die then go die!"
Percy laughed and ran out. He headed for the arena, cool and confident. The arena was where challenges were issued and fought. Here any bet made was witnessed by the higher ups of the institute and they ensured it was kept.
"that Hercules must be planning to make me bet something" Percy murmured. He speeded up his steps. A smile touched his lips." Good." Percy murmured again.
When he arrived to the arena, it was packed with students. Everyone was chattering, but the second, he stepped in, the entire stadium fell silent. Percy grinned and strode to the center of the arena. Hercules stood there as well, a small smile on his face." Perseus jackson!" he boomed. "have you come here for the challenge you issued to me last year!?"
Percy laughed and nodded." Yes indeed I have." Hercules's eyes glinted with a sinister light. He smirked at Percy and said." If you were so daring, then dare you make a bet with me?" Percy laughed again." Name it." Hercules grinned so wide, his face almost split in half." If I win, you will join the serpents society as a servant and sign the slave contract. Then you will work for our society forever!" Hercules boomed with laughter. He expected Percy to refuse immediately but unexpectedly, Percy didn't even seem surprised." I agree!" Percy called out and Hercules almost choked on his own tongue." W-what!?"
Percy smirked." I said I agree. But in exchange, you need to agree to a demand of mine, if I win!" Hercules smirked." Tell me then!"." Your engagement with calypso, and your suppression of her thunder dragon family. End both of them if I win!" Percy's voice rang around the stadium. Everyone went silent. Hercules's face turned from red to blue to purple. Then he burst out with rage." What the hell you damn sissy! How dare you! how dare you!" he screamed at Percy. He went to scream more profanity, but before he could, a loud voice rang out." Enough!" the power contained it was enough to silence even Hercules.
Percy looked around with surprise. Grandholme, the grand master of the city of hope sat in the judges panel. Percy's eyes widened. There was no way something like this was a coincidence. He had such a high status, there was no way he would have come here to just judge. He looked around and caught sight of piper, grinning smugly at him.
Of course. With Grandholme here even Hercules would stay within his limits. Otherwise with his status as the young master of the serpent society, he could even try killing Percy during the duel and most referee's would be too scared to interfere.
Percy smiled at Hercules." Do you agree?". Hercules shuddered with rage." Agreed!" he growled. He decided that after he beat Percy, he would torture him to death as his slave.
A referee stepped out nervously, and said." Are both parties ready?"."yes" Percy said lightly."of course" growled Hercules, cracking his knuckles.
The referee stepped back and shouted" begin!" the ground beneath Hercules's feet cracked as he shot forward like a wrecking ball, his form a blur. He was faster than his size led most people to believe.
Percy reacted just as fast, bending impossibly, completely dodging his fist as his leg flew out, crashing into his side. Hercules didn't even flinch, absorbing the attack like it was nothing. He seemed to have anticipated it however, and he brought his arm down, trapping Percy's leg and then he twisted, throwing Percy into the arena's wall. Percy slammed it into with full force, but before he could even catch his bearings, Hercules rushed forward and slammed into him like a wrecking ball.
Percy fell down and vomited blood. Hercules laughed mockingly and stepped on his head." So this is the extent of your power?" he laughed louder and kicked him , sending him crashing into the wall. Hercules looked around." Was that it?" the arena was silent. Hercules's strength was beyond compare. Even piper and calypso were nothing before him now. Percy staggered to his feet then flipped his hand up.
He wore a dark red ring on that hand, borrowed from calypso. This was a spatial ring that, like his inner world could store objects. A small water bag appeared in Percy's hand. He grinned a bloody smile and he burst it. The water doused him and he felt a rush of power awaken within his veins. The blood of Poseidon was agitated by both the fear of war and the power of water.
Percy smirked and said." Im completely awake now." Hercules laughed." Is that so? Come then, lets see how good you are awake!" he rushed forward again. Percy didn't bother dodging this time. He smirked and his own fist burst out, without any special moves. This was a simple confrontation, fist against fist.
Both fists collided and Hercules stepped back, unruly blood rolling within his veins. He struggled to control the blood surging in his chest. Blood rose to his throat and he swallowed it, unwilling to show weakness. He sneered at Percy." Is that it? Well at least you're qualified to face my weapon now!"
Hercules flipped up his own palm and a spear appeared in his arm." My fists are my best weapons but I've already researched your special move! If you were planning on defeating me with it, then I'm afraid not! With this weapon, you'll never even touch me!"
He darted forward and jabbed at Percy with the spear. It moved like an extension of his arm. It was seven feet long and he wielded it like it weighed nothing. Percy smirked as it rushed to him. 'thousand layered waves, first move: hundred layered waves!' Percy reached out with a single hand and patted the spear. The powerful vibrations rushed into it, rushing up the spear and into Hercules's hands. His muscles trembled on impact and his aim shifted, missing Percy entirely. Percy stepped forward with a single step and Hercules's eyes widened in horror as he tried to backpedal, but there was too much momentum behind his attack and it drove him forward. Before he could even stop Percy reached out a single finger.
'thousand layered waves, second move: Five hundred layered Waves!'
His finger tapped the center of hercules's chest and he trembled then stepped back. He bent over and vomited a mouthful of blood. His spear dropped to the ground with a thud. The audience was dumbfounded. The battle had just swung from Percy vomiting blood and being kicked around to Hercules vomiting blood after Percy tapped him with a single finger!
Hercules raised his head to look at Percy with a murderous gaze." Damn brat!" he staggered to his feet, spitting blood. He clutched his chest and emitted a deep growl." Dark skinned tortoise!" he growled. His skin erupted with solid scales and a tough shell covered his back." Lets see how you penetrate this defense!" he sneered.
Percy mirrored his sneer, then his foot touched the ground.' Moonlight Flash!'. He turned into a silver flash and appeared behind Hercules. Despite an increase in defense, his speed had reduced drastically.
" you fool, the shell is the strongest area of my defense!" Hercules laughed. Percy smiled." I know." He said, then his fist shot out, surging with the force of the seas. It tapped the shell, then Percy abruptly pulled back, then punched again, rapidly punching the shell ten times in swift succession at ten different spots, forming a circle.' Circular Softness: Destructive Interference!'
Percy slammed a single fist in the center of the circle. 'Hundred layered waves!'
The shell shivered and trembled with the vibrations rippling through it. The final vibrating ripple connected with the ten others and with a loud bang, the shell itself exploded, the entire center turning to dust.
Hercules's organs shook and trembled and he vomited another mouthful of blood. He turned to Percy and his shape shifted, turning lean and sinuous. He roared and leapt forward with immense speed.
Percy's eyes turned pure silver and his speed increased by several folds. He retreated backwards, but Hercules kept up, claws reaching out to rend his flesh. His claws connected but to his horror, he was unable to even pierce his skin. All the force behind his claws turned into vibrations that scattered harmlessly. Percy laughed and suddenly moved forward, his fist catching Hercules off guard and slamming him into the ground.
Percy stopped and laughed out loud. He looked down at Hercules and said." Is that it? Ready to give up yet?" Hercules was unable to believe how weak he was before Percy." This cannot be!" he roared and the air around him trembled. Percy frowned and leapt backwards. Hercules got to his feet, his entire body twisting and changing shape fluidly.
"very well! You will die by my trump card perseus jackson!" he roared. Percy narrowed his eyes as he watched Hercules. Hercules's body twisted from the lean shape to a heavily muscled one, to the tortoise he had before. He hunched over and growled as if in pain. Then suddenly he straightened and returned back to his natural human shape.
He breathed out in relief and then flexed his muscles." He smiled at Percy." Come on then. Don't tell me you're scared?" Percy nervously shifted from one foot to another, ready to dodge at a moments note. Hercules smirked." If you won't come to me, I'll come to you!" he blurred and suddenly appeared before Percy. Before he could even react he had him by the throat. He shot forward, and slammed Percy into the wall. Then he raised him up and slammed him down into the ground. Percy banged his fist against Hercules's arm, but it felt solid, plated with hard scales. He threw Percy and he flew across the arena, ramming into the wall. The wall cracked as Percy fell to the ground. He felt stunned and dizzy. He couldn't even move his arms or legs. The force with which Hercules struck had floored him. It was as if he had been boosted in every way possible, speed, defense, strength.
Hercules rumbled with laughter as he landed punches on Percy. Percy tried holding his arms up to defend, but each blow was like a jackhammer, smashing through his defenses and rattling his brain. Percy knew that he needed to get himself some breathing space and find his center, but Hercules wasn't going to give him any chance to get back up. He slammed Percy into the wall of the arena, then threw him all the way across, leaving a long trail of Percy's blood on the floor." This is the true power of my bloodline fusion! The ultimate fusion and boost in every possible manner! I have the defense of a dark skinned tortoise, speed of a shadow split panther, the strength of a two hundred armed blue ape, and all the special characteristics of the other bloodlines mixed in! I am the strongest human!" he laughed and lifted Percy by his head and slammed him into the ground, cratering the ground.
Calypso was weeping without even realizing it. After Hercules had started his counterattack her tears had started and since then they hadn't even slowed. Piper had found her a few moments after Hercules had started his counterattack, as if she had anticipated her reaction and was sitting beside her, hugging and patting the distraught girl.
Percy felt like fainting right now would be good. At least that way, he could avoid the pain. And even end this fight. He really wanted to blackout, and hide away from the intense pain clouding his mind.
Then a voice rang out, sharp and clear. Artemis, sounding as stern and angry as ever, without even a hint of worry in her voice. She even sounded impatient." You idiot disciple! Is this why I trained you? to lose? Why the hell are you taking so long to win this fight huh? The pain?" her eyes sparkled with tears but she kept her voice as steady and harsh as always. Her lip was bleeding and ragged after she had bit down on it." Are you were scared of the pain? Who had held my hand that day, bearing the worst tortures possible, just to save my life?" Percy gasped and slammed his fist into the ground, gritting his teeth. Hercules stomped his back, forcing his to fall down again.." When they sneered and called you a loser, you fought back! Will you lose today!? i….i believe that…. The only one who can defeat you….." artemis's voice trembled" the only one who can defeat you… is yourself….. you cannot give up Percy….please.."
Percy desperately wanted to stand, to fight back, but he felt so weak, so helpless, so pathetic. Hercules landed a kick on his side and he rolled on the ground, gasping. He was sure he had broken a rib just now. The audience was cheering Hercules on, laughing at his weakness. Then his eyes fell on calypso, her eyes fixed on him as tears ran down her face.
Artemis, calypso…. He had come so far. Then the world before his eyes darkened and Percy felt the comfortable embrace of oblivion. As he slipped into unconsciousness a voice boomed in his mind, a voice he had heard once, long ago.
"hahahahaha, son of the sea!. Looks like you are in a bit of trouble eh? I didn't expect that! Aren't you the great hero of the prophecy! Hahahahaha! Very well, I shall lend you a helping hand just this once!"
Suddenly Percy felt a cold sensation against his back. His eyes cleared and his pain faded and his strength returned. A small salt spring had come up under his back, unknown to anyone else. The salt water refreshed his mind and restored him. Percy rose to his feet and the audience erupted with cheers. He looked back but the ground was almost dry, just a little damp, giving no sign of the spring. Percy smirked and turned to Hercules.
Hercules laughed." Didn't you have enough pain yet? Or are you a masochist by any chance?" he boomed with laughter. Percy gave a small smile." I just thought it was time to repay it to you."." repay me? Ahahaha! You've only been getting beaten up. I thought during my last kick I heard a rib snap but I guess not. It was probably your mind that cracked, under all this pressure and pain!"
Percy lifted a hand and beckoned to Hercules." Enough talking. Lets fight!" Hercules roared and charged at Percy. Percy ducked his first punch and rammed his elbow into Hercules gut. Hercules seemed unaffected as he reached down and grabbed Percy's skull with both hands and began applying pressure on it, trying to crack it open. Percy calmed his mind. He remembered the feeling of the salt water under his back, the agitated feeling of his blood. The sea was all around him, even if it was far away. The seas wrapped around the land, which was why Poseidon was not just the god of the seas. He remembered what artemis had told him.
"Poseidon's domain is the sea, but for someone who disobeys him while on the land, he is the earthshaker, capable of bringing down the very mountains and laying waste to all of creation. Percy's eyes flashed and the air around his swirled with the scent of the sea. He grit his teeth then roared out loud." Bring all of creation to ruin! ' Earthshaker!'" the ground rumbled, trembling slightly. Everyone looked down curiously. Then the ground seemed to liquefy, moving in waves as it shook and rumbled. Hercules let go of Percy and fell backwards. The rumbling of the earth intensified around him and Hercules body shook and trembled as he was tossed about ruthlessly.
Percy could feel the power of the seas, surging under the ground. He slammed his fist downwards.' Hundred layered waves!' the ground crackled and a geyser of salt water erupted, engulfing Percy. All his wounds seemed to fade away and all his exhaustion disappeared. His body was healed and the blood of Poseidon awoke with all its force!
The shaking stopped and Hercules cautiously got to his feet, looking down warily. Then he looked up to the fountain of salt water. Even as he watched it grew smaller and smaller, then finally stopped. Percy stood where it had been, dripping wet.
Hercules growled." You brat! What are all these petty tricks of yours! I've had enough! I'm ending this fight right now!" Percy smiled then took up a fighting stance." Yes. To end this fight, I require but only one move." Hercules was trembling with pent up rage now." Enough of your boasting!" he roared and attacked. The sea water on Percy's body evaporated and he seemed to glow from within with a blue green glow. A glowing trident appeared over his head, spinning with high speed. Percy growled as the sea god's blood within him awoke to its full potential.' Divine Sea Gods Transformation!'
The world seemed to slow down to the point of stopping. Percy moved as if he were floating through space itself. At first there was a distance of four meters between him and Hercules. The next instant Percy was before him. He shifted into a fighting stance, then his fist surged out. Hercules felt the cold touch of death approaching him as he saw the fist fly towards him, almost in slow motion.
Percy stopped his fist right in front of Hercules's face, just before it touched him. He was immediately dripping in sweat as he stared at the fist. Then his legs gave out and with a soft 'putt' he kneeled in front of Percy shaking and trembling, an entirely broken mess. Spittle flew from his lips as he rolled on the ground, pulling at his hair like a madman.
The terror of seeing Percy's fist had broken his sanity. He had been driven insane with fear. The audience gaped at the scene before them. Unbelievably Percy had won. Not only did he win, he had broken hercules's mind in the process. This was a huge insult to the serpent society and it was unknown if he could be healed or not. If not, their greatest talent had just been destroyed.
There was a scuffle then calypso jumped over the barricade and into the arena. She ran straight across the arena, disregarding everyone watching her and threw her arms around Percy. Then she broke down, sobbing into his shoulder as he held her up. At first everyone believed it must be Percy's sweetheart or his girlfriend. Then the news slowly spread across the arena. That was Hercules's ex-fiancée. Of course, everyone loves a juicy story and soon it had spread like wildfire that she was the reason Percy and Hercules had fought.
The referee stepped forward nervously. Even declaring Hercules the loser would be dangerous for his health. However with Grandholme sitting right there he had little choice in the matter. He checked Hercules once, just for formality. Anyone could see the drooling, wide eyed person had gone mad.
He nodded to Grandholme who smiled and stood up." Hercules is unable to continue. Percy is still in fighting condition! Hence, this battle is declared a win in Percy's favor! And as today's judge I personally witnessed Hercules agree that he would allow calypso to break off her engagement to him, as well as say his serpent society will no longer suppress the Thunder Dragon family! If anyone dares to break the agreement…." Grandholme's eyes flashed with warning. The he spun and walked away, cloak fluttering in the wind.
Percy smiled at calypso." Calypso I'm fine!"."unghhhhh Percy you idiot, you idiot." She sobbed, pounding his chest with both her fists." Why did you have to make that stupid bet!" Percy laughed then looked at calypso as he stroked her hair." If I hadn't they would have forcefully married you to him even after he went mad. Now he's lost his talent and its no use for them to kidnap you. even if they do, Grandholme would place his wrath on them! And now they can't even suppress your family so you're free!"
Calypso burst into fresh tears and started hitting him again. Percy started to smile but then the energy from the salt water suddenly went away. He staggered and swayed, then collapsed, right into calypso's arms.
She struggled to hold him up, then carried him out leaving everyone to discuss the juicy story of Percy and calypso's illicit love.
- A few days later-
Percy was still bedridden and tired out. Calypso sat beside him almost the entire time, keeping watch over him even as he slept. Before long, the feeling of her presence had seeped into him, and he could feel her, even with his eyes closed.
Percy was to be discharged today. The institute had been shaken by Hercules and Percy's battle. Especially the fact that most medics on the school campus had declared Hercules permanently disabled. There was no hope for recovery. He was completely mad, and even now blubbered in fear of Percy's fist.
Hope city's greatest talent had been destroyed by a single fist. Of course this had given rise to a new talent. Namely Percy.
Visitors were not allowed on campus, so despite many people wanting to see the new genius with their own eyes, many people didn't have the chance.
The year continued peacefully. Until they got a new teacher.
-in class-
Their new teacher, ms foxfire was one of the pure bloodline warriors of the serpent society. She hated Percy and his very face seemed to send her into a fit of rage. She punished him whenever she could and cursed him whenever she couldn't. finally Percy grew fed up of her nagging and decided to just sleep in all her classes and ignore her. The plan worked well for about a week. Then she finally lost her temper and attacked him as he slept. She was a Level Seven Warrior, but she was sneak attacking him while he was asleep. Little did she expect she would be blown across the room by the combined fists of calypso and Piper who sat on either side of Percy.
"If you want to hurt him you'll have to go through me" calypso growled." And if you want to hurt her, I'll beat you up" piper said from behind the book she was reading." And god forbid you hurt me…." Piper snapped her book shut and smiled sweetly." My grandfather would kill you"
Ms. Foxfire didn't have anything else left so she directly headed to the principal. He laughed as he heard her complaint. Then assured her he would visit her next class.
-the next day-
Ms foxfire was taking an array symbols class that day. The principal walked in just as she was explaining a symbol. "this symbol is made of 47 minor symbols and was created by the serpent societies grand elder. It is used as a heating spell and is vital for many fire type formations and is used nearly everywhere. This array symbol can be said to be the heart of many arrays!" she finished with a smile. Then turned to the principal who laughed as he saw Percy. Piper was kicking his leg under the table and he soon got up. He saw the principal and gulped.
Ms. Foxfire smiled sweetly, then said to Percy " mr. jackson, would you explain the symbol I just taught?" Percy glanced at the board and saw it. He smiled then began." It is formed from 48 minor symbols and was copied by the serpent societies grand elder from another ancient array symbol from the snow symbol empire period. He changed the previously powerful, flame type array symbol into a weak heat symbol and claimed it as his own work."
Ms. Foxfire went red with rage." How dare you slander my serpents society!" the principal stopped her with a single arm then regarded Percy with a smile." You're right about the number of minor symbols. , if you study symbols to a great depth you'll find thatin reality, one of the minor symbols in the array symbol is actually made up of 2 other minor symbols. Thus Percy was right and you were wrong. Its 48 minor symbols, not 47." Then he looked at Percy. Do you have any proof for your other accusation?"
Percy laughed then bowed." I assure you, if you look in the ancient book of the snow symbols, you'll find it. I believe a copy is there in the library?" the principal sent one of the students and turned to Percy."I know which book you are talking about, but it is untransalated and in the language of the snow empire. How did you read it?" Percy tilted his head." I decoded and learnt the language" Percy said as if it were obvious.
The student soon arrived with the book and handed it to the principal. Percy smiled and said" please check page 2546 the third paragraphs diagram." Artemis had taken quite a few books into the inner world space and learnt them all. Then she'd taught Percy everything while he trained, to increase his mental fortitude.
The principal flipped through the pages then stopped. He turned the book around. Just as Percy had said, there lay the exact same symbol, barring a few side symbols were missing. Obviously they had been added on to change the symbols look slightly. The children looked at ms. Firefox. She turned red with emarassment then stammered." M-maybe he had used it as a r-reference!?"
Percy sighed and shook his head." The alchemist association rules state, if you create a new symbol, you must cite all sources of reference. Also, he copied the entire symbol and then added a few more. How is that referencing?"
Ms. Firefox was embarrassed into silence. Soon the entire classroom was talking about how the serpent society's grand elder had used such cheap methods to try and earn fame.
Piper was looking at Percy with keen interest all of a sudden. Percy laughed then looked back at her." What is it? Can't take your eyes off me?" piper went red then stuttered "i-idiot, I was just wondering how accomplished you are in symbols!" Percy thought for a bit then said" well I guess you could say grandmaster level. I can draw and build any symbol and activate all of them." Piper stared at him in shock." Well then can you see what's wrong with this symbol of mine?" she handed him a scroll containing a symbol drawn on it." I purchased it, but it hasn't worked. I checked every bit of it, but the symbol looks perfect to me. My aunt is an inscription master, but she was stumped as well." Percy opened and glanced at it" The symbol is perfect"." Huh?" piper exclaimed," then what's wrong?". Percy chuckled then pointed at the symbol." The blood used isn't a full grown Level Eight Warrior Frost Imp. It's the blood of a child Level Six Warrior Frost Imp. That's all" piper was astonished." But how did you…."."the blood of an adult frost imp is blue with hints of green. But a child has blue with hints of yellow." Piper glanced at the ink carefully. There did seem to be a slight shade of yellow in there. She looked up at Percy surprised.
He quickly pulled a scroll out and started drawing a new symbol on it. He quickly traced out a clear, sharp array symbol. He handed it to her. "trace this with flame serpents blood. It'll form a stronger type of the same spell."
Piper was a bit suspicious as she took it. That day she directly went to her aunt and handed the scroll to her." A-aunty, please check this" she smiled and took the scroll and opened it. She frowned and pored over the scroll. After ten minutes she was done checking the entire symbol." Your aunt admits defeat my dear. Did you meet some old symbol grandmaster?" she asked, her eyes bright with curiosity. Piper didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. How was she supposed to explain to her aunt the symbol master was a kid who was still waiting to turn eleven!
The next day at school, she was browsing the snow symbols book in the library. Percy popped up next to her and handed her another book." Try this instead. Its translated and once you learn the Brownian period's language, it'll be easier to learn the snow empire's language."
Piper jumped with surprise and then gave Percy a grateful smile." So how about a little kiss for my help?" he smirked. Piper slammed the book into his face." Pervert" she mumbled and then left with the book he'd given her.
And so the year passed. Finally the end of the year arrived and the time to finally go home for the holidays arrived.
Percy was leaving when he met calypso by the school gate. She seemed a little breathless and very excited." You're leaving?" she asked. He nodded with a smile. She blushed then held out her hands. Percy took the dark red wooden box. Inside was a red bracelet. Percy smiled and put it on." Thanks a lot Calypso." He said then patted her head and headed off. Piper joined him as he walked." Did calypso give you that bracelet?" She asked. Percy nodded in surprise." Yeah how'd you know?" piper sighed." Don't you know what a red bracelet signifies in hope city? Especially when a girl gifts it to a guy?" Percy shrugged." No I don't. why? What does it signify?" piper sighed again, then looked at Percy with a sneaky smile." Maybe you should date calypso. You two would make a cute couple." She said.
Percy frowned at her" hey! I'll date the girl I like, okay?" he smirked and looked at her out of the corner of his eye." And you know who that is don't you?" piper chuckled."yes I do. It's calypso!" then she quickly ran off, laughing." Remember, you have to teach me symbols next year!". Percy laughed." Yes of course!".
Then his gaze went into his inner world where artemis sat, reading a book." Shall we get going master?". Artemis closed the book and nodded." Of course." Then her eyes flashed and she gave a small pout." I've already told you to stop flirting with other girls! focus on your training!".
Percy smiled as he started on his way home." Of course my cute artemis".
First Arc: Finish
Second Arc: Battle with the Shadow Association and the Serpent Society!
A.N.: finally finished the first arc. Well that's good. Maybe its time for another one of my ultra long breaks. I'm just so sleepy these days, staying up late, typing this and studying for exams and shit. Maybe I should just stop till the exams get over. But that's three months so its pretty long. Well we'll have to see. At least you've been warned.
Finally Piper and Percy action begins! Next chapter will showcase the depth of artemis's love for Percy as we see her risking her soul for him. Also piper as damsel in distress! And Grover finally shows his hooves! I mean face. Plus Percy gets a major boost in power! Oh shit that's a long chapter. Maybe I should just split it into two? Or should I just cram everything into one?
Ciao with peace from manhattan!
