I really didn't have any good ideas for the last part of the mission, so I have just skipped it. If anyone wants me to write it, just leave a review and I'll do another story on it, though it would probably only be a one or two shot. Seeya at the end!
When Percy finally woke up from his deep slumber, the first thing he did was hit himself on the chair as he raised his head.
"Ouch." He muttered to himself, "I wonder where the girls are, they've probably finished our quest by now." Sadly his question was not answered. But anyway, if it had, Percy would be extremely freaked out.
Little did Percy know, but Zoe and Charlotte were currently plotting their revenge at Percy for leaving them to complete the supposedly easy mission. Luckily, they had come up with nothing, therefore they were just going to do it the old fashion way. Jump in and take him down!
The only bad thing about that plan was that Percy would most definitely defend himself, and both of them knew that he was easily the best hand to hand fighterr out all of them by far. This meant that the two would be attacking in stealth, like the deadly ninjas of Japan.
But both girls knew that it would require tons of training in order to be on per with the amazing ninjas, therefore they were planning on starting to train straight away.
"Charlotte, you're getting it all wrong!" Zoe exclaimed exasperated with Charlotte because she couldn't get into the right stance for a roundhouse kick that would temporarily wind an opponent.
"How would you know?" she retorted slightly annoyed with Zoe for trying to teach something that she needed lessons on. In response, Zoe simply rolled her eyes before muttering that she used to be a hunter of Artemis.
But even though Zoe attempted to mask her voice, Charlotte still heard her with the super hearing that she had inherited.
"You used to be a hunter?!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, what is the problem?"
"Oh nothing that you would understand."
Meanwhile, Percy was stalking them from the shadows, already trying to foil their plan of sneaking up on him by using the art of the ninjas. But as always, they were forgetting one thing. Percy would be able to just whip out his bow and fire a few arrows.
Just as Percy stopped thinking about that particular subject, a deafening gong sounded that made him then wonder what time it was. He would of course be able to simply check his time zone adjustable watch that he always wore, but it was fun annoying Zoe like this. Bursting out of the uncomfortable shadows, he shouted, "Zoe, what's the time?"
She angrily replied that he was lazy and that he should just check his watch.
Percy scowled at her mean response before he realised that the two them had agreed to have a quick sparring match straight after their lovely dinner. News was was that Order might be joining the fabulous banquet.
Charlotte was hoping that he would turn up for once, as she had never even had dinner with the powerful person who had saved her. She thought that it seemed a bit rude to save someone then just bless them and think that it was done.
Charlotte snapped Percy out of his thoughts by pushing him into the large sticky ditch that was usually only used for a type of sport that Chaos had apparently invented, scuba diving in a muddy bog.
"Sucker!" Charlotte mocked tauntingly as he spat mud out of his nose and mouth.
"That's dirty!"
"Anything go's when I push you!"
"Yeah well, I'll just push you right back!"
"You gotta come get me first!"
Percy frowned in annoyance before he realised that Charlotte didn't say that he wasn't allowed to ask Zoe to help him catch her.
"Zoe, can you help me catch her?" Percy pleaded with simply shook her head, not wanting to help catch Charlotte or to betray her friend. Percy then frowned again before he also ran off following Charlotte's path.
Meanwhile Charlotte was zooming through the palace looking for a brilliant hiding place that Percy wouldn't think to look. And then she saw a room labelled 'WAREHOUSE'. Charlotte then ran unto the room them stopped. The warehouse was empty! Nowhere to hide from Percy.
She looked around in shock before she saw a small gutter in the corner of the room, where Percy wouldn't think to look. Suddenly she heard footsteps getting steadily louder every second.
"Come on come on." She mutterred to herself hoping that Percy wouldn't arrive in time to see her superb hiding place. Just as Charlotte thought that Percy was right outside, the metal gutter popped of, giving her access to a tiny tunnel.
Percy tip toed into the warehouse, looking for any possible hiding places that Charlotte could have used. He knew that she was in here because of the incredible racket that she was making. But then he spotted the drain cover propped up against an ugly brown wall.
It made it too obvious. Shaking his head, he lowered himself down into the small tunnel.
But then he realised that this tunnel could be part of the Chaos labyrinth, where everybody was forbidden to go, excluding emergency circumstances.
"Charlotte!" He yelled down,"Cone back up! This is part of the labyrinth that is unexplored!"
But sadly Charlotte thought that it was a trick to get her to come right back up, so instead of coming up, she went further down!
Knowing that there was no other way, Percy leaped down through a hole that he had seen Charlotte go through. Just as he saw her, he made a portal appear, so that both Charlotte and Percy would fall directly through.
They landed on top of Zoe, because Percy had to make a portal so fast,he couldn't think of a better person or place to teleport to.
Both landed gracefully, but both used completely different styles of landing gracefully. Percy use all of the training that he had, while Charlotte landed using the intricate ninja styles.
Zoe was annoyed to say the understatement, because when two teens land on your head, who isn't?
"Sorry Zoe, just had to rescue you're friend." Percy mumbled.
"Well next time try to control where you land!" She shouted back.
"Hey! Isn't it time for dinner!" Percy yelled.
Both of their eyes widened, before they all ran off, not wanting to miss out on the amazing luxury that was going to be served at the incredible banquet.
Everywhere was deserted as they ran through the hall, because everyone wanted to be at the dinner. It was a bit creepy. Ignoring the fact that everywhere was silent, they continued to hurl through the corridors.
Percy pushed the doors open, but he had opened them at exactly the wrong moment. In the middle of the toast to Order! All three of them stood stock still.
"Hello?" Percy mumbled. "We may have found another entrance to the labyrinth."
Chaos looked confused for a moment, before he exclaimed " A labyrinth? I've never heard of one here!" Percy then realised his mistake. He was one of the few people who knew of the labyrinth, and now hundreds would know of it.
Th three slowly walked over to a set of three seats, in which they all sat down on. Their little tongue slip was forgotten over the course of dinner.
"Well that was a fun little adventure." Charlotte exclaimed, breaking the silence. She received no reply for a few seconds as the others were still eating.
"Yes, it certainly was." Zoe replied half heartedly. All three of them needed a good long rest.
Very soon dinner was over, and everyone slowly dragged themselfs to their living quarters or the room that they had rented for the banquet. Everyone e sleep extremely well, and before you knew it it was morning.
"Nightmares?" Charlotte asked Percy and Zoe. They both shook their heads.
All together they walked down the carpeted stairs towards the large doors where all remnants of last night's dinner had been cleared away, and it had already bean set up for a tasty breakfast.
Just as they were about to open the doors, Chaos blocked them and sighed before saying "Their has bean a problem. All three of you will need to depart for Earth straight away."
It looked like this was to be the second mission that they did together.
Another quest! To earth! That was about 1500 words, so don't complain. I really would like a little more motivation. You don't really need to say much, and anyway, it's no hassle. FINALLY HALF TERM!. Bye forever. (NOT!)
