I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! *clears throat* Hi. How y'all doing? I'm doing fan-flipping-tastic! Anything cool going on in your life right now? I'm trying to interact with my (very small) group of readers. Ooohhh! I just got an idea. How about I have a question of the day type thing. I think that would be good. Okay. Here is your QOTD (Question Of The Day):
If you could hang out with anyone from the PJO/HOO series, who would it be and why?
My answer would be Nico. I believe that Nico is like that person in the group is there, but doesn't get recognized. he's done so much for both camps, and they both treat him like he is dung. Yeah, there was my little rant. Well, I want to get to writing the story, so I'll stop talking. Here is Chapter Seven.
Chapter Seven - Stabbing Steaks (And Giants)
Jason's POV
Kimmy was incredibly nice girl. It turns out that she was new to the NYC area as well. She had actually been off fighting in a war (anyone know what war she said [if she did say]?). Jason had also met her roommate Titus Andromedon. He was an incredibly nice guy. The only downside was that he appeared to have confidence issues. Jason had also met their landlady. Her name was Lillian, and she was a bit of an oddball character.
After he had bid them all goodbye, Jason looked at his watch. It was 9:04 PM. He had spent the past 5 hours talking with Kimmy and her friends. He started his journey back to the hotel.
As he was walking, he came across a man in a white hoody. The strange thing was, was the fact that the hoody was covered in red substance that Jason knew far too well. Blood. Jason rushed over, seeing if he could help the man. The man had on a raggedy pair of jeans. His head was resting on his knees, as if he was crying.
"Sir, are you alright?" Jason asked the man.
"No. I'm not. Why do you care? I'm a freak, a nobody." The man replied.
"I want to help you." Jason stated bluntly.
"Really?" The man looked up from his knees. He was normal, except for one thing. He had a large portion of skin missing around his mouth, and his face had ugly burn marks on it. "You want to help a monster?" With that, the man rose to his feet, and his body began to change.
He grew to eight feet tall, and his arms became massive as tree trunks. His jacket ripped, showing off the outrageous amount of muscle covering his entire body. His hair became long and shaggy. His face became an evil smile. "What? You don't want to help little ol' me?" The Laistrygonian giant taunted.
(Prepare for a very poorly written fight scene)
Jason quickly drew out his gladius. He quickly analyzed his opponent, racking his mind to try and think of any weaknesses it may have. He dodged a blind swing from the giant. Since Jason didn't want to be monster food, he charged. He started swiping at the giant's legs, trying to cut it down as if it was a tree.
In the middle of one of his attacks, the Laistrygonian kicked him off, like he was a measly little fly. Jason flew back a few feet, before he ran into a wall. "Ooowww... That's gonna need some ambrosia," Jason thought once he impacted. He got up, shook himself off, and ran back into the fight. Fueled by anger, he jumped onto the giant's back, and began slicing at it's neck like a madman. The giant kept trying to buck Jason off. It was almost funny, because it looked like one of those bull rides you see at a carnival. Almost.
Jason held on to the giant's neck with one hand, while stabbing it's neck with his other hand. After almost a full minute of riding the giant, Jason finally dealt the killing blow by driving his gladius through the Laistrygonian's throat. The monster collapsed into a large pile of golden dust. Jason checked himself for injuries. He had small cuts on his back, and had probably bruised or even broken some of his ribs after hitting the wall.
He pulled out his phone, and he called Percy.
Percy's POV
Percy had just finished going to the bathroom, when he heard "Sandstorm" by Darude play. He grabbed his phone from the counter to see who was calling. It was Jason.
"Hey Jase. What's up?" Percy casually said.
"I got jumped by a Laistrygonian giant. I've probably broken a few ribs. Can you come pick me up?" He replied.
"Oh gods! (Do you capitalize the "g" in gods?) Where are you?"
"Uhm... East 72nd and, uh, Madison Avenue. Hurry."
"Ok. I'm coming. Hold yourself together."
Percy ran out of the hotel room. He went over to Nico's room, and he banged on the door. "NICO! JASON GOT HIT BY A CAR!" Nico came out of the room a few seconds later, his hair a mess, jacket sloppily thrown on, and a scared look on his eyes. "Come on. Jason ran into a Laistrygonian."
They both got in the car, and drove as fast as possible to the streetcorner Jason was sitting down at. They got out of the car, and walked over to their fallen friend. Percy stuck his arm under Jason's left arm. Nico did the same with the right arm. They helped the son of Jupiter over to the car. Nico ran over and opened the back seat door. He got Jason as comfy as possible in the back. After situating his friend, Percy began to head back to the hotel.
When the three demigods arrived, they made their way to Jason's room. Percy laid Jason on the bed, while Nico found the ambrosia. Percy got an ice pack out of the freezer, and placed it on his cousin's injured ribs. Nico found the ambrosia. It was smartly hidden with the brownies. He broke it into small, bite size pieces, and fed them to Jason.
TIME SKIP
(I won't use to many time skips, don't worry.)
Nico's P.O.V.
Two days later, and Jason was doing significantly better. He was walking around with minimal pain, and he could stomach most foods. The bad thing was that they had to give a concert later the next day. Piper had come over to check on Jason, and she was currently asleep on the couch, a magazine covering her face. Nico had told Nate, the record label guy, that they accepted the deal. It was going to be a nice little gift for everyone involved.
Happily, Nico went to go get some lunch. He walked out of the elevator and into the hotel's restaurant. He went up to the hostess.
"Hello. Are there any booths available?" He asked politely.
"Yeah. One just opened up. If you would kindly follow me." The woman replied. She grabbed a menu from under the counter, and went off to the booth.
Nico walked behind the lady. He wondered what they served for lunch. Nico hadn't actually eaten lunch at the hotel yet. Every day, he would get McDonalds, so this was a nice change. The hostess arrived at the booth, and Nico sat down. She handed him the menu, and a list of the drinks. She left to go help out the other diners.
Nico looked over the drink list first. There was alcohols, sodas, and water. Nico didn't want alcohol because A) It would impair his combat skills, and B) He would probably go on a killing spree. Alcohol was out of the picture, so Nico's choices were either water or soda. Water was good for the body, but soda was good for the taste buds. He chose water. A man in an apron walked over to Nico, and asked what he was going to drink. Nico told the man his choice, and began to contemplate his food options. There was sandwiches and steaks and salads and all sorts of other good eats.
Nico went through the same process he did with the drinks. The steak would taste good, and it had a lot of protein, which could help build muscle mass, but it was expensive. The sandwiches had carbs and protein, but had large amounts of sodium in them. The salads had lots of vitamins and minerals, but were also expensive. Since Nico was hungry, he ordered the steak.
A few minutes later, the waiter returned, and he took Nico's order. The filet mignon with a side of mashed potatoes and string beans. The waitress then brought him a tall glass of ice water. Nico thanked her, and he began the long waiting process.
Nate's POV
Nate had just gotten off the phone with Nico. It was a great idea, and the fans were going to love it. So, the plan was that [BEEP] [BEEP] [BEEP] and [BEEP] were going to [BEEP] at the [BEEP].
Ok, so that wraps up the seventh (and longest) chapter of K&H. What was the "deal" Nico made with Nate? I've been a little troll-y(?). You'll learn next chapter. So, you may have noticed that there wasn't a song in this chapter, because I'm wondering: Which do you like more:
A song in every chapter
Or
A song only when the characters are performing, writing, singing, etc.
Comment which you like better, please. It will help me fine tune this story to the best it can possibly be.
Also, I've decided to start a list of references that I made during the chapter. Here is the list for this chapter:
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) [That's it...]
Okay, I need to shut up, because I'm typing this during my study hall period, and class is almost over. Bye!
