Chapter Summary; The take over of the Mediterranean Sea is in Percy's palms, the retune of the gods and hot damn, what have Reyna, Nico and Coach hedge got themselves in.


Attack of the Seafood - Percy

Percy lunged, blasted, and speared every fish that crossed paths with him. If he wasn't risking his life in this battle, he would invited the other demigods to have a coral-lit seafood dinner, starting with an appetiser, at the bottom of the ocean.

He spotted Palaemon, taking a huge bite of a giant squid. He ripped it in half with his jaw, the squid dissolving into black mist. His other children were rampaging amongst the waters, ripping fish and Telekhines limb by limb, golden dust illuminating the dark waters.

It was amazing.

He joined Palaemon's side, "What's the status?"

"Thanks to you, the enemy forces lost around 150 troops. My legion and I have taken down around 150 troops as well, and from Delphin's soldiers, they have taken down 200 soldiers. That leaves around 300 monsters left."

They both dodged as a telekhine lunged towards them. He swung at them with it's spear. Percy sidestepped to his right, narrowly dodging it's spear. He grabbed it's spear with his right left hand, broke it off, swung the flat of his blade right on the telekhine's stout, effectively stunning it for a minute, before he stabbed it right in the neck with Riptide.

"Thank you, my lord." The sea prince waved his hand. The god of sharks went to aid his children while Percy took the time to carefully observe his surroundings. In the direction Palaemon went was a rocky ring. It basically looked like a caged ring of rocks. In his immediate surroundings, there were a horde of Telekhines fighting with 3 cyclops, a squad of squids were squirting ink at some mersoldiers, while Tyson was playing whak-a-snack with some leviathans.

Percy heard the ripple of waves behind him, he turned and raised Riptide just in time to intercept Phorcys' torch. Yes, the crab fought with a torch. It reminded Percy of the Olympic Torch used for the Olympic Games. It was long around 2 inches long, it's flame amber red.

Phorcys aimed the barrel of the torch at Percy, and shot a column of fire at him. It hit him right in the chest, blasting him around 3 feet back. The Sea Prince's chest armour melting from the heat, the edges of his pauldron catching on fire. The slightly dazed hero struggled to get his feet. Through dizzy confusion, he parried Phorcys blow. Percy shook his head, regaining vision and attentiveness. He saw Phorcys attempt to swing from the right, but Percy was faster. He used the tip of his sword and slashed at Phorcys wrist. The god roared and let go of his torch. Taking the opportunity, he kicked the god in the chest, summoned an orb of darkness and blasted him in the head.

Not finished, he ran to the god. He used his trident, and thrust it right into the chest. Phorcys fell on his back from the force. Percy called forth the darkness from the corners of the seabed and it surrounded the god, who looked at the shadows in confusion.

"What game are you playing, son of Poseidon? What is this?" The merman asked. Percy answered by raising his open palm towards Phorcys. More and more shadows surrounded the god and with a quick close of his hand, the darkness covered Phorcys. The darkness glowed silver, a scream followed. Percy put down his hand and the darkness vanished. Beheld was a unconscious god, with ichor flowing freely. There were many scratches and of course the cut and stab in the wrist and chest.

"I'll take it from here, little brother," Triton said, coming from behind him. He held celestial bronze chains, "You can help father, while I send him to the camp. I shall join you and father shortly after." With a nod, Triton chained the injured god and carrying it on to his chariot, the elder son of Poseidon dashed off.

Tiredly, Percy called for his own chariot, and went to face the Kraken with Paleamon and his dad. Nothing says family bonding activity like killing a giant squid, right?


Nike or Adidas - Piper

Piper was having a great day. She had to scout a ghost gathering, see her boyfriend almost die and then see said boyfriend be carried on a makeshift gurney (courtesy of Annabeth Chase) by Frank in eagle form.

Yup, just a regular day for Piper McLean.

She was in the mess hall, tending Jason's wound. The ambrosia did most of the job. The wound is closed, which is good. But it's a sickly radioactive purple, which is a huge contrast on Jason's pale skin. She passed him a canteen of water, hopefully enough for him to get some colour back.

The rest of the demigods were planning their next move.

Annabeth had relayed their findings on Ithaca; the monsters think they are sailing around the Peloponnese, and that Nike (not the shoe, the goddess) was on a rampage.

"No need to worry of Nike, my daughter," a voice said. They turned to see Athena, casually seated as if she was there the whole time. She looked normal, wearing a simple white blouse with blue jeans. Apollo, Hephaestus and Aphrodite standing behind her. Piper watched as her Mom fanned herself before taking a seat beside Athena. Lady Athena continued, "Nike was on a rampage, yes. After our Greek and Roman personas unified, so has hers."

"Of course! As goddess of Victory she would be torn between her Greek and Roman personas!"

"That's right, dear Annabeth. But fear no more! All she needs is a makeover and she'll be set," Aphrodite commented. Piper groaned out loud, "Mom..."

"My lords and ladies, is there a reason for this visit?" Hazel asked politely cutting in. Hephaestus started, "Well, I'm here to help with my boy on this fine ship. Help upgrade and improve it to combat the monsters on Delphi." Leo looked up from what he was tinkering with and smiled at his dad. The blacksmith god smiled back, tenderly.

"And Lord Apollo and Lady Ve-Aphrodite?"

"Here to help my half-Brother, of course! Whatever Hera had said on the mountain peak was rubbish. Yes it's true that Imperial Gold can sever at one's essence but we gods can help with the healing process. Just-like-this-" Apollo tapped his finger onto Jason's forehead. Instantly, the son of Zeus brightened up, color returning to his face. Piper immediately went to his side, and gave him a small does of nectar. He gingerly took it before straightening up.

"Thank you, Lord Apollo." Apollo just grinned.

Aphrodite snapped her fingers and Jason's torn and bloody clothes were changed to a fresh Camp Jupiter shirt with dark jeans. "There, better! Now, Athena and I are here for two reasons actually, first was to put your mind at ease about Nike, though if I were to choose, I would have gone for Adidas. Nike is so bland and overhyped! The second reason is for you to plan your siege on Delphi. Personally, I would recommend you guys to spray some Givenchy or maybe Channel on yourself, monsters hate the smell."

Hephaestus patted her on the arm, "Now, now dear. We could help them with their strategy in attacking, not just the perfume they can wear. Now demigods," he looked at everyone in the room, "Delphi is overtaken by almost a thousand monsters-"

"A THOUSAND!?" The demigods exclaimed.

"Yes, yes. But fortunately for you, after young Perseus finished up his work with the sea critters, you guys have to only deal about 700-800 monsters." He nodded his head, as if it was good bargain he's presenting.

"Yup, my homeboy Perce is wrecking the ocean floor and they are soon going to take over the Mediterranean Sea," Apollo pitched in.

"He's what?" Annabeth asked, obviously concerned for her boyfriend.

He pointed to the screen in the mess hall. The image changed from paradise island to underwater darkness but Piper guessed that if it's hundreds of miles down than of course it would be. As if hearing her thoughts, the screen adjusted it's lighting and beheld a battered son of Poseidon.

He didn't look good either, almost as bad as Jason. Blood trickled at the side of his head, a large gash was on his cheek. His armour damaged, his bloodied legs full of cuts and bruises.

He stood in front of a large squid. His trident aimed and fired at it. A large bright blue energy hit it in the right flank, blasting a chunk of the squid, and a tentacle, off

"Palaemon! The kraken's distracted, go forth!" They heard Percy yell. A large armoured shark nodded to him and passed him, a dozen sharks, ranging from Great White, Bulldog to Hammerhead, following it.

Percy boarded his chariot, a figure joining his side.

"My boy, what's the status?" The Sea King asks. "Triton and Delphin was able to destroy the Lernaen Hydra and subdue Keto and her children in the East. An unconscious Phorcys was sent to the camp by Triton to be properly imprisoned. Unfortunately, the Cetus left the East side and joined the kraken in the battle here. Good news is that there are only 200 monsters left from the original 800 and there are no casualties as of now."

Poseidon nodded, "Good, good. And your condition?"

"I'm fine," Percy said, though not looking at his father.

"Percy..." Poseidon gave his son a stern look

"Fine, I have 3 broken ribs, my left hamstring is torn and my right arm was burned after an eel had a go at it," Percy admitted.

His father sighed, "After this battle, you're going to stay in the infirmary, whether you like it or not." Percy didn't argue.

A high pitched shriek caught their attention. The father-son duo turned to see an enraged kraken. It swatting everything it saw, easily pushing a great white shark, into a rock formation.

The last thing the viewing demigods and gods saw was the Cetus lunging towards the duo, cutting the connection.

Apollo turned to the gawking demigods, "Give them a few hours, by the end of the day, the Mediterranean Sea will be cleared and evil-free. Now I think it's best for me to leave now, wouldn't want father to catch us in the act."

From where he stood, a bright light erupted. Smoke formed and he was gone. Aphrodite followed suit, "Ta ta children, kill some monsters okay?" They smelled a sweet perfume, and they disappeared.

"Well, it's time for my boy and I to fix this bad boy up," Hephaestus proclaimed. The blacksmith god and his son left for the engine room. The wisdom goddess spoke up, "And I would like to speak with my daughter, if you don't mind." Athena and Annabeth left for the latter's room, not waiting for anyone's response.


Hairy Surprises - Reyna

She has been in many situations in her life, some that were life-threatening, others were weird. She could add this to the collection of weird and awkward ones.

The voyage was mostly quiet conversations between Nico and Reyna, planning on where to travel first and the grace period they had when shadow-travelling between places. The two hours went by quick and quiet, no attacks thankfully. She woke up Coach Hedge, as she disembarked the raft.

The Athena Parthenos was rolled off the raft with a system of pulleys and belts that the merman had prepared. She thanked them, and in return they nodded. They swam off immediately. Nico was already attaching the harness to himself. They were at the deserted end of the beach it seems.

"Hold on," Nico spoke up, "If any one of one of us looses grip, that's game over." Reyna gripped his pale hand tightly while her other hand gripped the satyr's hand. Before she knew it, they had slipped into the shadows. Wind whistled in her ears before being replaced by cold chattering of voices. They spoke aimlessly in different tongues. Moment's later, the chattering voices was replaced by the rustling of leaves. The darkness was replaced by lush greenery.

They stood in a clearing, surrounded by tall trees. Nico stumbled, falling on his back. Darkness seeped out from his shoes, as if expelling any extra shadows. He breathed heavily trying to get some life back into him. he grass and trees within a 5 meter radius withered. The 40 foot statue under the shadows of the canopy, nestled in-between branches, it's glowing eyes like a stalking predator.

"Where are we?" Reyna asked the satyr.

"The Amazon Rainforest, Brazil probably," he shrugged.

"You are trespassing," A voice growled , "but it matters not, you made my job much easier."

Bright red eyes peered from the shadows of the forest, a pack of wolves emerging. The alpha was humanoid, lithe in body shape, and greasy in hair. His robes made from miscellaneous hides of animals.

Reyna took out a silver pocket knife and pointed it at the pack. They tensed and took a few steps back. Suspicions confirmed, "Lycaon, what are you doing here?"

"Lycaon?" The satyr squeaked, "as in the the werewolf, Lycaon?" The alpha looked unimpressed, "Yes, goat meat. I am Lycaon, King of the Wolves. Valid question daughter of Bellona, we used to roam the forests in Greece but times changed and so does the locations we roam. We're drawn to the Amazon Rainforest, it's basically our biggest playground. And after playing, we're hungry." His hungry scarlet eyes peered into Reyna's soul. In the corner of her eye, she saw Nico getting up, getting ready to travel but his ghostly skin said otherwise.

She gritted her teeth, and yelled, "Coach!"

"On it, cupcake!" His lips quickly muttered a string of bleats. Vines and roots rose, lashing out to the wolves. The wolves were wrapped tightly, hopefully subduing them. Lycaon was wrapped in the the thickest of blanket of leaves, his jaw wrapped in thorns.

Reyna and Coach Hedge ran to Nico's side. Nico looked at them helplessly, "I don't have enough power, I can't." Reyna looked at Nico, eyes determined. Accepting death as it comes is normal for a roman, but failing her duties and leaving the Athena Parthenos in the hands of Lycaon is not acceptable.

"I'll give you strength," the torch-and-sword symbol of Bellona on her forearm grew painfully hot, as if being seared into her skin for the first time. Lycaon roared as he ripped the vines off, the thorns falling by his feet. He pounced at the trio, but before his claw could reach, they melted into the shadows.


AN; Hi, was late with this chapter, mostly because of Reyna's part, hard to think of a chapter in a queen's perspective. Hehe, sorry to give so much of Percy's perspective, the next few chapters will mostly be in either Reyna's, Nico's, or one of the seven. Apologises once again for being late.

Next Chapter; A Mother's Apology, and Who Let the Dogs Out?
