Sorry if this chapter is a little off. A few weeks ago wasn't exactly what you would call the best week of my life, in fact, it was probably the worst. Just… Sorry if I'm off.
Silver Lining. I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and it was awesome.
GladeHuntessofArtemis: Nightstar will come in a few more chapters.
The three monsters charged into camp, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Within the first five seconds, three cabins got destroyed.
The two bulls smashed their ways through more cabins, throwing some of the campers around.
The six charged forwards. Percy flew directly into the larger creature, finding it to have a horn. One horn on the side of its head.
Zoë ran straight into one of the golden bulls, ramming her sword into its forehead. This only seemed to enrage it.
It threw her backwards. She caught herself, but was rammed again, slamming into a tree headfirst.
Luke was in a similar predicament. He had jammed one of his knives into the side of the other bull, but it blew fire at him. He wasn't immune to fire.
Beckendorf was. He shot a fire arrow directly into it's throat, and it tried to spew fire at him. It hit him, but he was immune, so he threw a sword into the mouth of the bull. The blade sprouted from it's back, and the machine exploded.
Bianca and Silena both charged at the bull that rammed Zoë. What happened next surprised everyone. It morphed into a human shape, pulling the sword out of his forehead. It hit Silena's sword with so much force, she flew back about thirty feet, rolling to her side.
Bianca used her energy burst ability to knock the bronze killing machine off its balance, then blasting it with lightning, shutting it down.
Beckendorf and Bianca both ran to assist Percy in fighting the man bull
Minotaur, you could say.
Anyways, it headbutted Beckendorf instantly, it's horn jamming into his side. He fell down, in agony of course, and the Minotaur continued its destruction. It clawed Percy's face, leaving three deep cuts across it.
Percy fell back in pain. Bianca shot it with lightning, and sliced its neck with her knife. It started growling, taking slow steps towards her. It took one large swipe at her, but stopped in mid swing, before exploding.
Dust covered everything, and all that was left, was a single horn. Percy stood up slowly, looking at the horn. "You take it, you'll have a pair." She said. "No. You take it. It is your prize." Percy said, eyeing the horn.
Bianca took it, slipping it into her pocket. "Well. That was… Eventful." She said, looking around. Some of the destroyed cabins were on fire. Besides Percy and Bianca, the other four were unconscious.
Some campers were still fleeting away. Some were unconscious. One young campers, about seven or eight years old, ran up to them. "What happened?!" She asked, with teary eyes.
Bianca lifted up the kid, holding her at the level of her own face. "Some monsters got into the camp. We don't know how or why, but we'll work on it."
Percy looked over, seeing Zoë coming to. He ran over helping her stand straight. She looked at him, almost falling over. "Who are you?" She asked, still wobbling. Percy sighed. "I'll explain later. You go to the infirmary."
Zoë wobbly walked over to the big house, earning some assistance from campers. Luke was also waking up. His arm was burned pretty bad. Some Apollo campers started tending to his arm, while he laid there, being as calm as possible.
Beckendorf already had bandages around his stomach. Silena had also hit her head. She was just dizzy, but still needed help walking.
Percy's watch then buzzed. He looked down, seeing the image of a girl. He pressed a button on the side, making it turn into a hologram. A tall girl with fiery colored hair (Pink, red and orange) was standing there.
She gasped. "What happened there?" She queried, looking around. "We… We got in a fight with some monsters, it wasn't too bad." Percy said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Not true." The girl growled. "Alright. Geez, Sunset. It's no big deal."
The girl raised an eyebrow. "Okay, so… Peace got stabbed, Prosperity got a concussion, Warmth got a concussion and amnesia, Mercy got his arm burned pretty bad, I got clawed in the face. Exertion is fine though. How's Chaos? Not taking it very well?"
The girl, now identified as Sunset, started stuttering. "I-I… W-we… She... uh…"
Percy held up a hand, as to stop her. "I get it. That bad, huh?" Sunset nodded. "Let me speak to my mother."
Sunset nodded, knocking on a door behind her. Chaos opened the door, teary eyed. She looked up at the image of her son, sniffling a little. "Hey… How you holding up?"
Chaos looked down at the floor. "I'm fine. I shouldn't be acting like this. I'm the creator of the universe. I'm crying like a little girl."
"Hey. It could just as well be a little boy." Percy spoke, noticing his mistake a few seconds after. Chaos glared him in the eye. "You don't know how it feels to be carrying a child around in your stomach."
LINEBREAK
The next day.
Percy was sitting in the Chaos cabin. He knew Chaos wasn't handing the whole 'Pregnant' thing well, even though she already went through it multiple times. Most things in the camp had been fixed, but there was still a little damage.
Knocking came through he door. He groaned, rising off the couch. He opened the door to see the tiny girl from yesterday was standing there. Before Percy could say anything, the girl spouted "Can you teach me how to control water?"
Percy looked her in the eye for a second, before nodding and going "Yeah, alright."
They walked away from the cabin, going towards the shore. The girl happily skipped, while Percy walked a little slower. She started to get ahead, before stopping to let him catch up.
"Come on, slow poke! Go faster!"
Percy narrowed his eyes, but had a small smile. "How about you go a little slower, so I can poke your slow."
The girl grew a quizzical look, before a hand made of water poked her side, shoving her a little.
"Aw man. Now come on, we don't want anyone else to take the beach before we do!" the girl called, running ahead a little more. Percy kept walking, seeing some other kids at the shore, with Roger screaming at them.
LINEBREAK
"IDIOTS! DON'T ANY OF YOU EVEN HAVE A SINGLE BRAIN CELL!" Roger screamed.
The oldest kid there stepped up to Roger. "We don't want you to teach us anymore. You're a terrible teacher."
It was a seventeen year old girl. Well, technically, older than Roger, because she just wasn't at camp at the time a Roger got there. She was favored more than Roger, so they gave her immortality too.
Roger's face turned red. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I AM YOUR CABIN LEADER! YOU WILL RESPECT ME!"
Percy started chuckling. Roger turned to him. "YOU!" He yelled, storming up to Percy.
"I congratulate you on your jump on me. Your fighting skills, they have much improved. But still suck."
Roger was about to get all cocky again, but he heard the last sentence.
He started sputtering. "Having car troubles?" Percy laughed, watching Roger get even madder. He stormed off, his face looking like a tomato.
"Man. I could have used him to win the best tomato contest." Percy chuckled again. The other campers started to snicker too. "Lynn Lynn Lynn Lynn Lynn! I got a better instructor!" The little girl squealed, jumping up and down some more.
The oldest girl eyes Percy up and down. "You sure? He doesn't look like a son of Poseidon."
Percy cracked a smile. "Whale, I guess I'm not needed here. Sea you later guys." Percy waved.
Lol.
The Poseidon kids started to laugh some more. Percy started to walk off. "Wait! Guy! Come back! We really do need an instructor!" The second oldest called. He was about to chase after Percy, but Percy caught him with a wall of water. "Alright."
Percy walked back over. "What do you want me to start with?"
"Tsunami!" The second youngest yelled. Percy laughed. "Not yet."
"Small wave!" The middle one called. "Eh. How good can you guys control water right now?"
The oldest one, now identified as Lynn, willed a wave to crash to the shore. "Okay. She can teach you the wave. How about basic water controlling?"
They nodded. Percy turned to the water. "Feel that pull in your gut?" He asked. He saw them all nod. "Okay. That means you're connected. Now, try to will the water into a shape."
Lynn started showing off. "If she can control water, how come she doesn't teach you?" Percy asked, willing a column of water to rise. "She tried, but it wasn't very effective."
Lynn smiled weakly. "I'm not a great teacher." "I'm sure that isn't true." Percy said, walking closer to her. "You teach the something. I'll watch."
Percy stepped back. Lynn nervously stepped up. "Uh… W-we start by… By… Uh…"
Percy stepped back in. "Okay. You can control water fine, you just need to work on public speaking."
Lynn blushed furiously, turning away. Percy looked over, watching the kids making shapes with water. "So, what are your names?" Percy asked, leaning down to the height of the smaller ones.
"I'… my name's Luan!" The smallest one said, still ecstatic about learning to control water. (Female)
"Ross." The second oldest said. (Male)
"I'm Jenny!" The middle one exclaimed, almost as excited as Luan. (Female)
"I'm Logan." The second oldest, which he had trapped in a wall of water earlier, said. (Male)
"And you know me." Lynn said, still blushing slightly. (Female)
Percy nodded. "I know you all want to know my name, but I'd prefer if you called me Nobility or P." He said.
Luan looked distraught. "But I wanted you to be my big brother instead of Roger! I can't go around not knowing my brother's name!"
Percy smiled slightly. "It… It's probably better if you don't know."
They all looked down. "Unless…" Percy started again.
"Unless?" Lynn echoed.
"Unless you can all keep a secret."
They all nodded furiously. Percy jumped a little. "Okay! Stop, before your heads come off!"
They stopped. "Call me Percy. Percy Jackson."
LINEBREAK
In the infirmary.
Four the six were in beds, resting with ice packs, bandages, cups with Nectar and plates of ambrosia.
Luke was awake, but he was in pain. His arm practically burnt to death. Yeah. His arm.
Beckendorf was still unconscious from blood loss.
Silena was also unconscious from her concussion.
Zoë should have been unconscious, but she was more concerned about who she was and where she was at. She was sitting up in her bed, string forwards. Bianca walked up to her bed. "Hey… How are you feeling? You took a nasty hit to the noggin back there." She asked.
Zoë stared her in the eye. "Do I know you?"
Bianca sighed. "No, apparently not."
Zoë kept looking around quizzically. "Where am I?"
Bianca looked a little solemn. "The infirmary. We're trying to get your memory back as fast as possible, but all our methods haven't worked so far.
Zoë furrowed her eyebrows. "A person earlier said he would explain everything to me. Where is he?"
Bianca sighed and chuckled a little. "Somewhere. I'm sure he'll come later."
Zoë kept looking around, like she was trying to absorb everything.
"Can you get him? Get him for me? Please?"
LINEBREAK
"P!" Bianca called, jogging towards the shoreline. "P! Zoë wants to see you!"
Percy turned to her. He waved to the kids on the beach, before walking over to Bianca. "What's up?" He asked.
"Just… Come on." Bianca started dragging him towards the infirmary.
They walked into the building, seeing some campers in bandages, and the fearsome foursome in beds.
Bianca led Percy over to Zoë's bed. She had a large bruise on her right forearm, a black left eye, and bandages wrapped around her stomach.
"Is this him?" Zoë whispered to Bianca. Bianca nodded. Zoë stared Percy down. "Explain."
Percy nodded. "You have amnesia. You hit your head really hard in a battle."
Zoë nodded. "And?"
"… And I don't know?" Percy shrugged. Zoë looked confused.
"Don't worry about it, you'll be fine. I had amnesia once, and it wasn't exactly pleasant, but I'm fine now."
Zoë kept her quizzical look. "Get some rest, maybe you'll be better afterwards." Percy said reassuringly. Zoë nodded, lying back down in the bed, almost instantly falling asleep.
LINEBREAK
Percy was in the dueling arena, with a crowd of campers watching him as he instructed some more things about sword fighting. "So, you swing like this, because doing otherwise, will result in ultimate failure."
Percy looked around the crowd. "Any questions?"
He saw a tiny hand reach up. "Yes?" "Will you be my big brother now?"
Percy stiffened his back. "Ask me about that later. Any sword fighting questions?"
Roger raised his hand. Percy didn't even say anything, but Roger spoke anyways. "Hey, I know you seem impressive and all, but what kind of magic did to beat me? I'm literally the greatest warrior ever."
"No magic at all. Just skill. Unlike you, who uses 'friends' to seem tougher." Percy glared. Roger seemed unaffected. "Also, where's that hot silver girl? I want to have a word with her."
Percy's scowl darkened. "In the infirmary, recovering from a battle in which she risked her life to save us all."
Roger oh'd and turned to go to the infirmary. "She has amnesia, don't go making her believe she's your girlfriend or anything."
Roger smiled more evilly.
"Because she's never going to fall for you, idiot."
Percy looked back to the campers. "But seriously, any questions? REAL questions?"
No hands went up. "Alright, how about I pick a random person, and they come fight me?"
Still no hands. "Alright. Well then. One random person…"
His head went to Annabeth. "You."
"That wasn't random at all." She said, still walking up. Percy smiled. "You do know your boyfriend is a cocky loser, right?"
Annabeth tried to look mad, but she was definitely silently agreeing with him.
Percy locked eyes with her, making her a little more angry. She took her knife, swiped at Percy, but he dodged easily.
Percy made a time out symbol. "To make it fair, I'll drop my weapons."
Percy tossed the phone and watch to the ground.
"Those aren't weapons." Annabeth scowled. "That's where you're wrong. The phone is my sword, the watch is my bow." Percy said with a small smile.
"Hm. Alright."
Percy dodged a few more swings from Annabeth, before flapping his wings, blowing the knife away from Annabeth, and pinning her to the ground.
Percy let her up. "Still the best fighter I've faced... Well, here."
Annabeth smiled and got off the platform. "Training is over, please return to your normal activities."
Percy watched as everyone left, except Luan. "How about now?"
Percy knelt down to Luan's height. "Of course I will, Lulu."
LINEBREAK
Percy was walking to the Chaos cabin when he was suddenly stopped by a boy who's hands were on fire. "Hey, fire boy. Might want to put that out."
The boy extinguished the flames. "Hey, guy! I'm Leo! I was wondering, do you have any weird gadgets from the Void? I was wondering, just in case. I like to see new tech."
Percy shrugged. He fished around in his pocket for a second. He pulled out a metal die. "Roll it. See what happens."
Leo threw it up in the air. Once it landed, the cube turned into a hover board. "That thing also turns into a car, a war tank, a bicycle, a jet pack and a jet powered glider thing. Roll again."
Leo folded it back up, making it a die again, before rolling it. It turned into a jet powered glider.
Percy smiled. "It's all yours. Have fun."
Leo smiled crazily, before launching himself into the sky.
Percy used his wings to get rid of the smoke, and continued walking.
(Just some Leo for you.)
LINEBREAK
Luan was dragging Percy to The Big House. She had one of his hands in hers, and she was running as fast as she could.
Percy was following close behind, but wasn't in a rush like she was. They entered the big house, getting some stares as she pulled him behind her.
She pulled him into the rec. room, where all the cabin leaders were at.
The rec. room was the same as it had been. A ping pong table in the center, Satyrs handing out spray cheese and crackers, Clarisse angrily glaring at people, and Seymour the leopard was eating a snausage.
Roger was sitting in the Poseidon chair, smugly looking in Percy's direction.
Annabeth was eyeing Percy's sword, which was planted in his right hand.
Lynn was standing in the corner, giving Seymour a snausage.
Etc.
Luan ran back out the door, leaving everyone staring at him. "Ignore me." He said, pulling up the hood of his parka.
The cabin leaders started discussing war strategies, with Roger still glaring at Percy. Percy turned away from his stare, listening in on the discussion.
The monster's getting into camp was brought up a few times, but they were still stumped on why it happened. Roger then stood up. "I have something to say!"
Percy looked him in the eye, with Roger doing the same. "The prophecy said he would cause our rise or fall, right? Who all here thinks they're here to betray us?"
Nobody raised their hands. Percy smiled knowingly. "Believe me, I'm here to help. I might hate this planet, and almost everyone on it, but if I was here to destroy you, it would have been done a long time ago."
Roger huffed, sitting back down. Will spoke up. "But, Guy? Your lady friend has amnesia, right?"
Percy nodded. "We might have a way to fix that."
Percy straightened up. "How?"
Will opened a book, and turned to a page, about two fifths of the way through the it. "This flower, right here. It's essence can be extracted to cure amnesia.
Percy looked at the picture. "Uh… a Tulip?"
Will looked at the picture. "Ah crap. Wrong one. That one's for blindness. Ehh… Here."
Will flipped to another page. A silvery looking flower with spirals of blue on it was in the picture, it had about ten petals, and looked almost like it was spinning.
Percy looked at the picture for a second. "Where can I find it?"
Will looked down at the picture. "It looks like it grows in two places recorded. The Void, and the other place is an island in the center of the Atlantic. Which one?"
Percy out a hand to his chin. "I would say the void, but my mother wouldn't let me pick flowers from it. She really likes to keep her garden in good shape."
Will shrugged. "So, the Atlantic it is! We can get you a boat of you need, or something else."
Percy nodded. "I can fly, but if you insist I use a boat, I can do so."
Will thought for a second. "Flying is probably more safe."
Percy turned to walk out, but was stopped. "Before you go, won't you need a map to where it is?"
He groaned. He mumbled something under his breath, but it couldn't be heard. "I really am a seaweed brain."
He nodded. Will opened another book, which was full of maps. He pulled one out, and handed it to Percy. "Thanks man. Anything else?"
Annabeth raised her hand. "Yeah?"
"What's your sword made of? It's obviously not celestial bronze or imperial gold."
Percy looked at the blade in his hand. "Cosmic silver. Ask Mercy about it, he's got a bunch of weapons made of it."
And with that, Percy left the big house.
