IM BACK AGAIN. 3 Chapters in two days. I'll see if I have the time to drop 2 again today, but I wanna take my time and make sure these chapters are good and provide quality content. I'm still making it a point that you guys should really review or PM me your suggestions to try to better the story that would really help. Ok now enjoy the chapter
Last Time:
"Oh GOD, oh god ho god oh god oh god. I'm gonna cum. Oh fuuuck! OHHH." Then right before I came, an image in my head appeared. It was the time I had seen Percy shirtless in the lake he was washing himself in. I had admired him for a good five minutes before yelling at him and threatening to castrate him myself. And as soon as this image appeared, I came.
"OOHHHH PERCYYY!"
Now:
Percy POV:
I woke up feeling groggy. I still remember Erebus coming to me in my dreams, saying that I would be his heir or champion or whatever. All I know is that I really want to get out of this damned hell hole. And today was the day we can cut my vacation here short. Val was still asleep, and I didn't want to wake her. She would need the energy today, as we are about to face an army. I felt as if I should go rest a bit more, but I couldn't, not with the awaiting battle lurking in the crevices of my mind. SO much was going on in there. Erebus, the Voice, the battle, and how I was going to fight the Titan. More importantly how I wasn't going to die fighting Hyperion. I decided to take a five-mile jog, figuring that once I would return Valerie would be awake. So, I set off.
As I ran my mind went into itself. I continued to think about what Zeus had done. What the council had done. The gods. The merciless, relentless, power hungry shit sacks. No words can describe the hatred in me. I will kill them all. No. They will suffer. Suffer the Tartarus. Suffer the feelings of their hearts being ripped from them. Any piece of love they had stripped from them. Any emotion ripped from them. Their domains turned against them. Their most prized heroes slaughtered. And camp. I haven't thought of camp in a while. But there will be no camp. It will be struck down. And Poseidon. Oh Poseidon. Not dad. Poseidon. He will drown. I will make him drown, the way Gaia had nearly drowned me. He will feel breathless, repeatedly. They will burn.
I felt hot. Really hot. Usually in Tartarus I'm normally hot, but I felt on fire. I regained consciousness, and looked at my arms. They were on fire. All of me was on fire, yet I wasn't burning. I wasn't even in pain. Non-the-less I panicked, dousing myself in water conjured by myself. I was instantly relieved, since water rejuvenates me as well. I looked at my arms. No burns. None. I think it was the water, healing my wounds, but this amount of fire should have turned me to ashes. I wonder. Maybe my body had gotten accustomed to the heat of literal hell. I don't know but I do know that I'm happy I'm not burning or in pain at all.
I've ran long enough. I start to head back to camp. I see Vale in the distance, awake but lying down, probably thinking about the upcoming mini war. I've already been in two too many. So now let's have a mini war. She notices me and stands on all fours.
'Um Percy?'
'Yes Val?' I asked obnoxiously, thinking this was going to be a sarcastic statement.
'Your eyes are on fire. They're partially sea green, but the outer iris is pure read, and its moving; its looks like a flame in your eye.'
I don't know how to respond. Was I blessed, or was this puberty. Was it a darkness side effect or just after being a demi god and staying in Tartarus for so long that just happens.
'Ok that's nice and all but we have a giant battle today, and you're worried about my eye color?'
'Yeah, you're right I'm sorry, we should get focused.'
'You remember the game plan? You barge into the biggest amount of monster soldiers you can find, and ill shadow travel behind them all and take them out stealthily. Just make sure you put on pressure. I don't want them to notice I'm behind them.'
'Yes sir.'
'Ok then. Let's go.' I hopped on her back and she sprinted faster than I've ever seen her sprint. When she was close enough I'd jump off her back and shadow travel in midair. What she didn't know was that I had a secret plan of my own. The force of the shadow travel jumping of would propel upwards from the other shadow (A/N kind of like Portal, where if I jump into the bottom one, the jump propels me threw the other) and with the height, I would drop down with riptide slamming into the ground. That should be fun. We approach. 3.2.1. I jump.
'Careful.' Val says it to me shakily thinking this won't go well. Hopefully I can unleash the earthquake before she gets there.
I jump into my own shadow and propel through the furthest demon I can see, and unleashed fifteen feet in the air. All the monsters see me and snarl. In the air I pull out riptide, and I drop.
As soon as I'm about to land I'm smacked out of the air. Ow. Definitely not part of the plan. I was sent a couple feet back, knocked on my sorry ass. I look to see just what hit me. It was Hyperion. He snickers, and give me a smirk, if that's possible with him being pure fire. Maybe he set me on fire earlier, but not enough to kill me. Just a scare tactic.
By now, Valerie has already slammed into at least a dozen unsuspecting victims. But now the entire army was focused on her while Hyperion was focused on me.
If I didn't help she wouldn't make it. She wasn't strong enough. She needed on me. And I'm not gonna let her down and that's a fact. Not without one hell of a fight. I close the distance with Hyperion quite quickly. Riptide reappears in my pocket. I pull it out and uncap it. Out comes my trusty, yet small sword compared to Hyperion's monstrous 6-foot broadsword, which mind you was encased in fire. And he himself was around 8-feet tall. The sword matches his height. He looks at me, dangerously as if already know what my next move. But with him I knew I couldn't attack.
I look over to Valerie. My first mistake. He swung rapidly, as soon as he caught me looking off at Valerie. He hit me with the flat side of his sword. It was a warning. Don't disrespect this fight. But I had caught a glimpse. She had plenty cuts, but she was holding her own, but still had a bit close to a hundred monsters left, along with the minotaur. He was caged, because he doesn't know what side he is. But I knew the more she thinned the ranks, the more they would feel to unleash him. I had to beat Hyperion before that happens. Or she would die. No doubt.
He swings overhead, I side step rapidly, and counter with a low slash to his leg only to bounce of his armor. He had few chinks in his armor. The only visible weak spots were his arm pits, his face, his inner and outer thighs, and his abdomen. Meaning I would have to either roll closer to a weak spot and stab, or just chuck my sword hoping it hit. I went with the former. I could do it. I can win this fight.
He slashes, I hadn't enough time to bob and weave, so I blocked, but the strike powerful enough to send me back. I was still on my feet. And lunged waiting for his parry. And it came.
He stabbed straight thinking to impale me, but I faked the lunged and quickly sidestepped, giving me a 90-degree angle on his body allowing me to rapidly stab him in his abdomen. He wailed at the pain. I quickly withdrew my sword and rolled and he slashed at my head. I held my sword and decided to strike over head. He quickly denied that attempt with a block and kicked my chest. I slid back a couple feet. He wasn't slow, but he wasn't fast. I had to beat him on speed. But he didn't know that I could control the earth as well, seeing as that is not really Poseidon's domain. So, without him noticing I raised a spike from the ground behind him. I launched it into his back-left thigh. He felt it, and for a brief two second window, I strike into his armpit, as he started to bleed gold. He knew he was in pain, and that if he didn't finish me he would lose. So, he decided to use his own powers as well. He launched fire from the tip of his sword in rapid successions. I rolled and rolled and dodged, but I couldn't dodge them all. One of them hit my sword hand, and riptide went flying aback. I didn't have time to grab it, but I had tested it and I seems that it only takes a minute to return to my pocket. So, I had to hold him off. I started raising mini boulders but he sliced them in half. He was now green. He was Greek fire. Seeming that after he becomes so upset, he can change his fire. If I was touched, I could and quite possibly would die. So, I roll at a 45-degree angle into the pocket and kick into his knew. The armor was covering it but it made his knee buckle allowing me to send in another earth spike into the right thigh. He slashed to my head then overhead swung. I bobbed the first and quickly shoulder rolled away. I left some damage.
I looked off. Valerie had taken out most of the army, but she wouldn't last. Definitely not in time for the minotaur. I am amazed she lasted that long. But I had to finish Hyperion.
I felt a weight in my pocket. But I didn't pull it out. I had an idea.
I shadow traveled behind him and kicked out his knee, then shadow travelled in front of him and kicked him in the chest. He was pushed back but not far. That more of aggravated him then did damage. I conjure a mini wave a throw it at him, he steps through the wave, lunging with his broad sword. He side stepped, but he saw that coming and swung the flat of his blade my way. I flew back. That swing had strength in it. So, I laid down. And I stayed there. Leaving him thinking he won. He strolled over, looking down.
"A shame. I thought that Perseus Jackson would put up more of a fight."
"I looked at him, simply spitting on him."
He looked at me in disappointment and disgust. He raised his sword over my head. I saw Valerie. Oh no. She was surrounding, being slashed at in a circle the way bullies circle their victim. The had cuts everywhere. She was gonna die. I couldn't let her die. She's the only one that's been there. She's the only person I truly trust. She can't. She can't die. She won't.
As Hyperion raises his weapon over me, I swiftly throw a wave at his chest and a couple spikes into his eye. These were not meant to do damage but distract as I shadow travel behind him and jump up. I pull out rip tide, uncap him, and stab Hyperion in the back of the neck. The sword pierces through the other side. His flame extinguishes. He vanishes into a cloud of sorry ash and gold dust.
I'm drained, and I fall on my back. Those rapid uses of my power still drains me after all this training. But I can't forget. I can't hear barking anymore. I turn to see all the monsters standing in a circle. They were no longer swinging. But just staring. They knew their leader was dead. They felt it. They were no longer restrained by Hyperion. I quickly shadow travel into the middle of the circle. With my lack of energy, I know I cannot take them all on at once, but I know for damn well I have to try.
The shadow travel was the most suspenseful part. I reappear in the middle of Cyclops, some strange demon things, and some gargoyles, but they were wingless. I looked down. Her eyes were closed. I felt her carotid. No pulse. No pulse. No breath. Nothing. Nothing.
"C'mon. C'mon talk to me. Talk to me. FUCKING TALK TO ME!" The monsters were taken aback by my anger.
All the memories came rushing back. The first time I met her. When I saved her, when she led me to a safe house. When I saw who she really was. And it all came to one answer. Zeus. If it weren't for that bastard. That greedy, selfish, arrogant, fucking bastard. I'm going to FUCKING KILL HIM. He's taken away everything. The fates have taken away everything. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. I cannot love any more. No matter the case the person I love always dies, or hurts me or betrays me and there seems to me that there's nothing I can do about it. I just have to stand there and take this fucking bullshit. And it hurts every fucking time it hurts. AND IM FUCKING DONE.
I look around and stare. Stare at the monsters that killed the only person I can trust. They killed her mercilessly. They slashed and hacked and stabbed and bit her till there was no more to stab and slash and hack at. Until she was flat on the ground, not able to defend herself. THEY DID THIS. AND THEY WERE GOING TO DIE.
And I felt myself pour everything into those words and unleashed what seemed to me to be that of nuclear power. I was floating in the sky, just watching every seem to vaporize into ashes. I saw the buildings burn, I saw the monsters be incinerated as if they had seen the true form of a god. But I was nothing close to a god. All the while I could only think of Sally, my mom, Valerie, the person that meant the most to me. And Annabeth. The woman that changed me forever. No more me. No more happy. Happy? What's that? I know that no one must suffer as I did. No one. So, I knew what I was going to do. I'm going t-
Hestia POV:
I feel a tug in my gut. More than a tug. A pull. A harsh pull, and then I felt it. Percy had found his fire. And he unleashed it. I felt the power he unleashed. Whoever he was fighting I felt bad for. It was the most amount of power I had ever felt be used by any demigod ever. It was, astonishing. And then I fainted.
Tartarus POV:
All I saw from my tower was a flaming man in the air as he unloaded more power than I have ever felt before. He unleased every ounce of his power. He was at least twenty-five feet in the air. I saw him descend, rapidly. I could not get to him. Nor could anyone or anything. And he just fell and fell till I heard a boom.
BOOM. I told you guys there was going to be a lot more Percy. And how about that. Fire! Now that the travel is out of the way there's going to be so many ideas that I have in my head it's going to be awesome. Of course, you guys, like always, should leave suggestions or PM me anything you might want to see in the story and I'll see if there's a way to input it. Leave reviews and follow and favorite. Help this story grow and reach out to the community.
Thank you and have a great day.
