Hey Everyone. I hope y'all liked the previous chapter. I am also going to start working on my own version of the Guardian of the Hunt fiction. I hope to have its first chapter out soon. The next chapter in this should be out next weekend, I think. I hope you all like this. I have a little twist coming up. Please R & R!
Chapter 7
*Percy PoV*
Next time I will ask for a video camera from Dove or Angel for my birthday. Then I would've been able to videotape the epic fail that was the camper's go for my flag. I was laughing the whole time that the campers were trying to get my archers in the moat and the soldiers climbing the wall. I did notice the arrows that hit Annabeth and her group on the wall. I guess the hunters are here for my flag.
I snapped my fingers and two small watch/guard towers appeared on the wall. An archer and a soldier, both made out of water, appeared in each tower. Apparently the hunters were close because the two archers immediately started shooting in rapid-fire mode. I heard loud swearing and a few yells and screams.
I removed Dove and Angel off of me. I was surprised that they were just sleeping there. I turned the couch into a really big bed and basically tucked them in. I knew I would get yelled at later but I'll live with it. I slapped on my armor and teleported on top of the wall.
As soon as I was on the wall, I heard several bows go off and felt a dozen arrows nail my shield. I looked and saw that they weren't blunted. I heard a dozen more hit my shield. I teleported into the trees behind them. I made sure that I made no sound. I looked and saw that Artemis was with the hunters here at my flag. She was also in a form that was around seventeen to eighteen years old. I noticed she was with the older and more experienced hunters. I guess that the younger hunters were guarding their flag. I thought that the gods couldn't play or interfere but that won't change who wins this match. I looked closer and realized that Artemis looks pretty good from this angle. "Stop thinking about that!" I yelled to myself in my head.
I quietly got out a bunch of throwing knives. I made sure that they were the blunt ones, just in case. I quickly stepped out of the trees and let seven throwing knives fly. They each hit their mark perfectly. The wooden/metal handles hit seven of the hunters in the back of the head, immediately knocking them out. That left Artemis. I saw her spin around and start to shoot. I smiled before teleporting next to her.
"That is sad. It was only three seconds long and you lost your hunters that came with you." I whispered in her ear before turning into a hawk and flying high into the air. I heard something, as a hawk, and barely dodged an arrow. I guess she was going to play this way. I cawed loudly and dove. I spun to dodge more arrows and at the last second I teleported behind her and changed my form back to human. I reached around her and yanked her bow out of her hands. Her bow shocked and burned me but I still held on and teleported it to the moon. I then wrapped an arm around her stomach and another around her neck.
"So, how are you doing?" I whispered in her ear. I could barely keep her in my arms because she was struggling. Even though all the training and increases in my strength, just the fact she was an angry god was almost over-powering me. I know I could stop her but doing so would almost kill her. I could never hurt her so I couldn't even try choking her.
I heard crashes and slams in the bushes around the clearing we were in. I cocked my head and turned my ear into the ear of a wolf. The crashing and slamming just increased. I heard a few whimpers and recognized the sound of my wolves. I threw Artemis behind me and ran into the bushes. I took out my shield and sword as I ran. I was fantasizing different ways to kill and torture whatever is hurting my wolves.
I was actually pretty close to where the fight was going on. I burst through the woods into another clearing. If not for my shock training as an assassin, I probably would've feinted. A dozen of my family's wolves were circling three evil figures. Two wolves were in pools of blood about ten feet from the circle of wolves and the three figures. Two campers lay moaning in their own small pool of blood. Three campers were at different trees. The worst part was that they weren't making a sound or moving. I yelled in my mind to wake up Dove and Angel. They were the ones that were good at healing. I was the warrior and assassin.
I teleported by the two wolves that had fallen and was glad they were both breathing. It was labored and uneven but it was still occurring. I healed them enough for them to last until Dove and Angel got here. I then stood up and faced the circling wolves. I looked closer and recognized the three evils. The middle one was Krios. The other two were Hyperion and Atlas. Wait? Atlas?! I wonder who the sky is still up then. Guess we will have to investigate Mount Tam soon. One of Dove's wolves jumped for Atlas's throat and Hyperion intervened and threw it into a tree. I couldn't stop myself and I growled.
The wolves recognized this as a "This is my food now. Touch and you dead" growl. They backed off and went to protect the other wolves that had been hurt. Two went to guard the injured campers. I hoped they survived this. Anyways, I have three titans to slay. I walked towards them and smirked.
"Hey. It's been awhile, guys! Atlas how's your back doing? Your hair sure has gotten greyed. Hyperion, man! Do ya still like trees? Krios! Have you been running from El Chupacabra? I've heard it likes goats. I could see how it could get confused with those horns on your head." I told them cockily. I then jumped into action after I uttered "head."
I charged at Hyperion first since he threw that wolf. I felt Atlas run in from the side with a spear. I did a backwards somersault and immediately jumped to the side to dodge Krios. The land where I was just standing now had a spear, hammer, and sword all in it. I then charged the currently unarmed Atlas while he tried to remove his spear from the ground. Atlas jerked his spear out to block my stroke but my sword went right through the wooden length of the spear. My sword continued and went straight into Atlas's arm. I quickly pulled my sword out and jumped back. Hyperion's sword then sunk into Atlas's arm. I smirked and quickly skipped to the side and slashed at Hyperion. Krios parried for Hyperion. Krios's hammer almost broke my arm from the smash of the parry. I jumped back and stepped back two steps. I decided to show them a glimpse of my true power. I barely noticed but I did notice that Artemis, Apollo, Dove, and Angel were working on healing the wolves and campers. I was glad that they were all receiving medical attention.
"Clear out of the clearing!" I yelled at the others in this clearing. I knew it was going to get messy. I saw Dove and Angel working on getting everyone out and convincing Apollo and Artemis to leave too. My eyes, that were already red, flashed black. I knew they looked like black holes and I saw the smirks and smiles of the titans turn into frowns. Krios even had a scared look before he schooled his features. A wicked hurricane formed around me. The wind itself in the storm could rip someone to shreds. Mix in water and ice; it is just a blast of fun for me. I looked and saw Hyperion pale at the storm.
I gave out a battle cry and charged the three titans. Krios threw a giant hammer at me but my hurricane just caught it and it joined everything else in my hurricane. I slashed towards Hyperion. He parried in return. I gave an evil smile. Krios's hammer came flying with the pointy part straight into the side of Hyperion's head. I made four "men" out of air and water and they charged Krios and Atlas. I sent my hurricane at the fighting titans, knowing it wouldn't affect my water/air "men." I took my sword and gave it a Chaotic blessing. I then started to chant and stars and galaxies formed in the air around me. I was now temporarily able to forcefully fade immortals if they suffered a mortal wound. My blade could now do the same. To forcefully fade an immortal deity, you must have an enchanted weapon and be under the influence of a fading spell. It will tire me greatly at the end but I will be able to fade the three titans. I ran over to Hyperion who was slowly healing.
"Your dead, Hyperion. It's been too long where you've been able to hurt people. Now you'll never be able to go on a rampage again. Have fun in the nothingness." I said before I beheaded him. I watched as his ashes were sucked in a mini black hole. I then turned around.
To get a punch in the face by Krios. Apparently the two titans teamed together to destroy my elemental men. Krios was unarmed since I took away his hammer. I spun around and created an even worse hurricane. I formed spikes of ice and rock and mixed them in with the rest of the hurricane. The winds grabbed the hammer again and I had to use the hurricane to propel me upwards to dodge Atlas. I jumped out of the hurricane but kept it going. This time I did something I haven't done since original training. I drained the air around us of water vapor to make a monster of water. I formed a Chimera out of ice that breathed ice spikes instead of fire. I sent it at Krios while I charged Atlas.
I jumped out of the way and stabbed at Atlas's open shoulder. My sword sunk and but I quickly jerked it out and rolled to the left. Where I was a second before a crater was now occupying it. I took out three throwing knives and threw one of them at Krios. It sunk into the back of his left shoulder so he was distracted and the water Chimera sunk its teeth into his side. I threw the other two knives at Atlas and then charged him while he was distracted. I ducked and slide underneath him. I then jumped up and spun with my sword out. I felt my sword slide in and out of his back. Atlas roared in pain and spun around to face me. But I wasn't there. I had teleported into the trees at the edge of the clearing.
I made a bow appear in my hands and quickly shot a dozen arrows. Six hit Atlas. Five hit Krios. The remaining arrow had just skimmed one of Krios's horns. I heard Krios bellow at the arrows. It was just the distraction I knew the water Chimera was looking for. It dove and sunk its sharp teeth into his neck. I teleported next to the Chimera and said a quick Chaotic prayer that reinforced the fading capability. I then beheaded Krios. I watched as yet another small black hole sucked up his ashes. I them returned the Chimera to the air. I turned to see a circle of wolves around Atlas. He was swearing and cursing while trying to not get bitten or eaten.
I called off the wolves and jumped at Atlas with most of my strength. Our blades met and a sonic boom was heard. Atlas was knocked back fifteen feet. I just charged him. I slide to the left and threw a throwing knife by his face. He jumped back. Right onto a spike of earth that I created. Then I created another spike, this one made of ice and threw it straight into his face. I then ran over to him and beheaded him. Then I teleported back to my flag and collapsed.
Hope you all liked it. I know I did. Tell me what you thought of it. Please R & R!
