Urg, I need to get back to the main parts, but too much cliffhanging is troubling. Thankfully the last one is somewhat self sufficient until later. But still...why can't I get back into the good writing habits I had

Dalek; That is why its limited

Recap from chapter 18, Las Vegas

As Orion shot the last one, they heard a wheezing voice "Finally...her kind has finally come"

The man looked like he had once been handsome and well built, but his cloths hung on him like rags on a rack. His hair was dull and dead looking, and his eyes seemed to hold pain and hopelessnes. He was holding himself up with a nearby lampole, but he was no drunk...he was just that weak.

"Her kind?" Orion asked as Osprey's eyes widened "Your...like my father..."

"As in a test subject and engineered sperm donor...yes I am like him. Call me Bishop..." he coughed violently "And...and we don't have much time"

"Time...time for what?" Quartz frowned..."Your time...its messed up"

"Messed up?" Kestrel asked.

"This man...should have died long ago..."

Bishop lowered his head "And that is the problem. My beloved daughter just won't accept the fact that I cannot be saved...and she is pushing herself to the edge of what her blood allows her to do because of it. Its harming her from the inside out...like a lethal cancer. There is only one way to save her from this, and its something she just won't accept. My daughter...your sister...Fawn Doe...the only way to set her free...is to kill me"

End recap

"Kill you...?!" Orion had killed monsters and fought gods, but killing people wasn't quite something he had yet done.

In fact, his pacifism was to a point that, while he would eat meat, he wouldn't go out and catch his own. The suppression of his hunting instincts is why his instincts taking over, like against those 5 Mesoamerican gods some time ago, made him that much more... aggressive.

Perhaps Artemis attempting to raise the perfect male...put too much emphasis on the male's general love of hitting people.

Because of their strong desire to put their former human weapon stage behind them, Quartz, Armistead and Kestrel weren't much for killing either.

"Yes...and afterwords free her from Khonsu at Caesars palace"

Osprey, on the other hand, was more practical

Placing a finger on his neck, she closed her eyes and severed a artery with her water powers. Its a trick that any person who was a child, grand child or a few generations great grand of a water god could do with study or and concentration, though it wasn't quite Percy Jackson's style. The father fell over, dead.

She gave them a look "I knew my father, and how much pain he was in. I also came to know that if he ever needed to be free of his pain, I'd have to be willing to mercy kill him just like that" though tears did come out of her eyes despite her serious tone.

"You'd kill your own father!" Orion couldn't even comprehend attacking his mother...let alone killing her...if that was possible anyway.

"Are you familiar with cancer, Orion" Osprey said darkly. Orion, who had run Relay for Life, nodded.

"Take your most painful to die from cancers, and they are barely a twitch compared to how painful it is to die from cellular degeneration. Its like being eaten alive from the inside by fire ants who excrete a caustic acid, are covered in barbed spikes, as your flesh constantly grows back a la Prometheus liver and vulture. A severed artery by far more merciful."

"Both of them suffered from this disease...no, that hell of earth. I lived to see how painful it is...trust me when I say I know that he'd appreciate death over it" Osprey began walking away.

"Wait...we can't just leave the body..."

Osprey stopped, sighed and took out a box of matches. When Kestrel gave her a alarmed look, she gave her a look "Its what you do with dead Greeks, they cremate"

erm, a funeral later in the casino

The Caesars Palace was as bright white as a marble Roman or Greek temple of old, a den of lust and greed...

However, said palace was oddly empty...and the reason was seen once one saw the man who was pretty much waiting for them with an evil grin.

"Hello" the man was dressed expensively in an armani tux, a shaved head and silver chains, with eyes of silver a colder shade than Artemis's. Bottles of wine with names like 17th century french wife, Woodstock hippy blend and 1920's roaring times Chicago distill were behind him on a wine rack, suggesting he had bee waiting for them.

"I am Khonsu, the one true moon god. Want to play a game?"

Meanwhile, Cathedrals Grove, aka Yggdrasil

The Sage sighed as she again drove off the weird people in white who kept trying to get near the World tree. What was up with these mortals...didn't the drug crazed era end a while ago, and all the weirdos around here lived up north near Port Hardy, or off on a small island off the main island here.

"It isn't quite surprising...the Celtics worshiped trees. Those who still follow their, sadly warped and fragmented remnant faith still do"

She turned around, staff ready to bash whoever said that, to come upon a tall guy in the suit, the Titan Prometheus.

"Tisk tisk, your just as violent as you were...in all your parts Sage...or Annabeth perhaps...or even her"

The sage gave the Prometheus a shocked look "Wait...you know who I am?!"

Prometheus pointed a finger right at the heart of the sage while sporting a sinister looking grin "You, are the key" of course, to the Promethei, everyone but Octavian had been a key...

To Olympus's destruction

Omake

Non Canon

A bad ass line that I will never use because it will be far too OC for Percy and its just plain creepy.

Percy was having a really, really bad week.

First, his camp got destroyed by Ragnarok

Then the 21st nome as well

And now...

"DIE GREEK DIE!" this scarecrow kid came out of nowhere and was trying to stab him with a golden knife, (apparently, Setne had gotten these guys after him, he would later learned) as something in Percy snapped.

("THERE'S NO WATER HERE GREEK SCUM!" "YOU WILL BE DESTROYED LIKE THE TRAITOROUS FREAK YOU ARE! TROY WILL BE AVENGED"...what the hell was wrong with this child?)

Percy grabbed Octavian's face, as nearly 200 more gold weaponed demigods appeared around him "I don't need the ocean for water, or any river" Percy said darkly as Octavian's horror struck face began bulging, as his body began to come apart "60 % of your bodies are water!"

Octavian's body burst open, said 60 percent of fluids forming around him in a eerily Gaara like manor.

This Percy Jackson was then dubbed by the Promethei as Slayer of an entire Legion, as well as He who broiled Jason Grace like a Lobster. He later got some therapy but died in a fight to the death with Sasuke Uchiha during his world destroying rampage.

Oh, by the way, if you want to use that line...be free to. I at least thing its
