I don't own Percy Jackson. I don't own any songs in this chapters that all goes to Alkaline Trio.

The cold winter has started in the East Coast, the restless city of New York is now cover in a blanket of white, moving cars, and of course the "holiday spirit".

Riley's POV

My it's so fucking cold right now. I've forgotten how cold the world gets. I wonder where the bar is, I can't keep being late to the shows. It's been two months since I meet Annabeth and then left, but it feels like years. I guess that's what living on the streets does to you. There's the bar.

Riley walked into a bar with a neon sign called the Golden Basement. As Riley made his way into the back of the bar he noticed he was 15 minutes early for the first time.

"Hey there stranger boy, what's a kid your age doing here?" A lady dressed in black and blue clothes asked Riley as he walked past the bar.

"Doesn't matter because I'm not a kid, I'm 20 okay." Riley answered.

"Sure you are kid, well the name's Liz okay kid and here's my card if you ever need help." Liz told him and handed him a card.

"Yo Riley let's get going." A voice called out for him.

"Thanks for the number." Riley said and turned to the back of the bar.

"What was that about Riley?" Samuel questioned.

"I don't know man, I don't know." Riley answered

15 Minutes Earlier

"Thalia are you sure this is where they are playing?" Nico, Annabeth, and Percy all question their punkish female friend.

"Yes and the singer is really good but no one knows who he truly is." Thalia stated eagerly.

As the four walked into the bar with a neon sigh called the Golden Basement, they notice a very familiar figure going up on stage.

"Is this thing cursed, this god dam thing is the worst.

Now I'm looking in that direction and everything starts to hurt.

Is this thing cursed, it's been around for years.

And every time my boat 'bout tits up that thing is near."

A voice echo through the bar stopping all fights, arguments, and little evil left in the room. The voice kept singing until he went through the next minutes.

"Who is that?" Percy asked Thalia forgetting what she said before.

"That Kelp head is the singer of the Disorderments." Thalia said rolling her eyes.

"No I meant do you know who he is or who he is the child of?" Percy asked.

"No, not one soul knows who the man is." Thalia said.

"I say we follow him. Annabeth said and started to grab her things. I mean how else are we going to know who he is?"

"Fine I guess I can conceal us in the shadows." Nico who has remained quiet stated.

"Thanks Nico." Annabeth said.

The four quickly hid in the shadows thanks to Nico, spying on the man who was singing.

"Hey dude we are going to get some drinks you coming?" A voice called out to the singer.

"No thanks I have plans already." The man called back.

"Oh okay man goodnight see you next week." The voice replied.

The four continued to follow the man until he went into a back alley and came up to a door.

"Password?" A man behind the door asked.

"Silver" The man said.

"Welcome Mr. C." The man behind the door greeted the other.

The Singer now called Mr. C walked until he came up to a ring, where he took off his hood and shirt. The man under the hood had gray/blond hair, Silver eyes, and a scar that goes across his entire face.

"Please welcome to the ring Riley Chase! With a record of 93 matches, 93 wins, and 93 KOs. It's hard to imagine this match being a loss for this man. His opponent, please welcome Will Otume. Coming in from Japan as a new rookie boxer having won only 8 matches, all being KOs in the first round." The announcer yelled pumping up a crowd of over 10,000 people who all pay cheap to see two guys fight to the death or at least beat the shit out of each other.

Riley turned to face his corner one last time for the next three minutes. Otume walked to the center of the ring and was soon joined by Riley. Riley and Otume stared each other in the eyes. Riley had that look in his eyes that says he has killed before and it scared the shit out of Otume. Outme soon back up away from Riley and the moment the bell rang he charged Riley, throwing jabs left and right. Riley blocked these jabs with ease keeping his feet light and constantly moving not staying in one spot for too long. The moment Otume went for a killer strike, Riley dodge and countered his punch right in the jaw. Knocking Otume right down to the ground in which Riley turned and walked back to a corner.

"Is this how I live my life now I wasn't strong enough two months ago but now I have been training I might be able to take Locust" Riley Thought to himself.

Two months ago….

"Riley Chase you're weak right now you wouldn't even stand a chance in hell against me." Locust yelled over the crowd of monsters that Riley was about to fight.

Riley already fought half of Locust's army but Riley sustained some heavy damage.

Present…

"I'm not weak" Riley yelled in his head.

"8, 9, 10. Riley wins!" The announcer yelled to the crowd.

"I will be stronger than you Locust."

"Riley what happened to you." A voice questioned him.

Riley turned and saw someone he didn't expect to see.

"I'm sorry" Riley said.
