I don't own Percy Jackson nor any of the characters in his series
Everyone, except Mark, left as quickly as the dogs demeanor changed. Mark just stood there, smiling, and said, "Bring it on."
Chapter 11 (Puppy Love)
Alpha took one look at Mark, before turning around saying, "Sick him."
The dogs soon became murderous red. Seeing this, Beta quickly tried to stop the dogs, but Mark stopped her.
"No," said Mark, "I ain't gonna go runnin' just cuz of some mangy mutts."
Mark," cried Beta, "You don't understand! They will kill you if you stay here. The only way for them to die is either naturally, their master dies, or they get hit by a special metal that can only be found in the Void."
"Well," said Mark "I'm gonna find a new way of killing them, brute strength." And with that, he charged.
Suddenly, the dogs started to grow and change. As they kept running, their claws soon grew to the size where not even talons could describe their size; their teeth started to get longer, sharper, and bigger; their hair started to stand on their ends and became so sharp, they made the sharpest needle seem blunt. Seeing this, Mark became surprised.
He soon got over the initial surprise and swung at the closest one, making contact. Then, when Mark swung again, his sword started to look a little different. Beta took notice of this, but kept her mouth shut, as she wasn't sure whether this was what she thought it would be. Mark then kept swinging at the dogs, making contact every time, and every time, his sword kept looking a bit different. Beta soon realized that this was worse than she thought, and started to warn Mark.
"Mark!" cried Beta.
"I'm a little busy here!" yelled Mark, as he soon had to get on defense, for his little lapse in attention caused him to drop his defense and allowed Alpha's dogs to start attacking him.
"Mark!" cried Beta "The dogs are in their ultimate state! (A/N I may have taken that from Ben:10, I don't know who owns it, but it's not me) You can't stop them now! Only me or Alpha can stop them!"
"What," yelled Mark, who keeps finding himself getting more and more bruises everytime the dogs moved, "do you mean ultimate state?"
"I mean," yelled Beta "that they are in the pure rage state. Once in a state of pure emotion, they achieve the ultimate state for that emotion, and their bodies change depending on the emotion. Right now, they are in the ultimate anger state, and they cannot be beat in battle. The inhabitants of Hermat are very confidential in what things they share with outsiders, and how to calm down their dogs when they are in an ultimate state is one of them. They have only given that information to a select few, and I'm one of them. I would tell you how to calm them down, but then you would have to die, for the dogs know what kind of commitment I have made to the Hermatians (A/N no that's probably not a real word)."
"Fine," cried Mark, who was on the ground now, sword fallen, and in a fetal position trying to block out the scratches from the dogs without much success.
With that, Beta went towards the fight, and started singing in an unknown language(Translation—"Please calm down, dear dogs. Please calm down, oh so sweet and caring dogs. It is I, Beta, the one person who you would entrust you're life to, and I you mine. Please calm down, oh so sweet caring dogs, lest this world would fall to a series of tidal waves and earthquakes. Please calm down, oh so sweet and caring dogs, because you're anger is connected to your masters, and this world cannot handle the pure rage you're master will release, lest you calm down. You oh so sweet and caring dogs. Please calm down, Please calm down Capricorn, Orion, Hunter, and Marge. Please calm down and I will play with you the way I used to while you're master was out saving another planet.")
Soon, the dogs calmed down, and everyone started to walk, only to stumble as they were unknowingly standing during an earthquake. They soon got up, and Apollo cabin, who've been watching from the infirmary, rushed in to bring Mark to the infirmary, with help from their dad.
Everyone else looked at Beta and the dogs, only to see the dogs were not the same beasts that they were when they were attacking Mark. They seemed smaller, and huggable (A/N Down criticize me on this, I ran out of describing word), and were also a bright yellow, almost rivaling Apollo's yellow. They almost looked like puppies, and Beta was kneeling next to them trying to tickle all of them, while talking to them playfully. Anyone near the dogs, suddenly felt so happy that they could explode. Suddenly, Beta got up, with two of the dogs in her arms, and two on her shoulders, said, "I'm gonna go see Alpha. Lieutenant, I'm leaving you in charge in case of an argument needed of a judge in our troops. I'm gonna see whether Alpha is calm enough to come out."
As she left, Athena noticed that the dogs seemed to be a have a little pink, and lavender to them.
A/N OK I'm gonna do Mark in the infirmary tomorrow, and if anyone wants to know *cough*Mark-haters *cough*, Mark is suffering from serious head trauma, loss of a few unmentionables (if he had any *snicker*), and sever cuts and bruises just about everywhere else. Also, here is a list of colors and what emotions they represent.
Yellow—happy
Blue—calm
Green—acceptance
Red—anger
Pink—love
Lavender—wanting to make love
Sea-green—carefree(as a tribute to the old Percy)
Purple—annoyance
Black—seeing a curse
White—seeing a miracle
Grey—neutral
Also, I still have a somewhat writer's block, and am looking for ideas. Anyone who gives me something ill use, then they get a virtual cookie, and if they are a member, then maybe a sneak peek at the next story i have planned.
