The prisoner

Chapter twenty four: To kick ass and chew gum but no-ones got gum.

The battle on the bridge with Percy and Annabeth reinforcing the Apollo cabin was a massacre win for the Olympian forces. The entire enemy force broke and ran, the broke at the sight of the Minotaur being bisected with next to no problems and before they knew it the fury of Poseidon's son broke into them.

However the Olympians took some minor losses, three Apollo campers died one of those being Lee Fletcher and Michael Yew forcing Will Solace to step up as cabin head. Another bit of bad news was Ethan Nakamura demigod son of Nemisis either the ugliest goddess or ugliest god in existence had managed to poison Annabeth as she protected Percy's achilles heel.

By now the area of defence had began to shrink as Olympians began to lose forces, thankfully the majorty of the injuries were flesh wounds. However Harry was in the middle of a fight with three demigods, which parentage he didn't know and quite frankly didn't give a shit. Harry ducked a decapitating thrust, responded with a floor to face reversed heel kick.

"That might leave a mark." Harry commented as he dropped onto his knees, funneled his shadow beneath him and dropped into the shadow and out of the second demigod and shoulder drived him into a lamp post. "Should leave a mark."

The last one was unfortunate, the battling demigods had forsaken swords, shields and helmets and had degenerated into a street fight. The other kid was stronger but Harry was faster and had greater reach. Dick realed backwards from a heavy gauntlet gut punch which was followed up with a rib crunching split kick.

However during the fight, a hellhound had crept up behind Harry and with a snarl launched itself trying to get a slab of Harry meat. But the son of Hades and Poseidon dived out the way of it, Harry had detected it flying through the shadows, since he and the shadows were one he knew people were their before anyone else.

The hellhound sailed over Harry and its jaws clamped onto Richards unprotected head. Harry wnadlessly summoned his shield, swords and helmet and ran for his life. "That's left a mark."

With that he headed back to HQ as the two Katies returned from a supply run "Ladies."

Gardner jumped as her cousin melted out of the shadows and Katie turned and slapped him squarely across the face "What the fields of punishment happened to you?" She asked noticing the rips and tears in his clothing and the dent marks in his breast plate.

"Three demigods...One was kissing a lampost, another sleeping on the job the last one is demigod ala carte. The lucky winner was a hellhound so thats two potentially dead enemy demi-gods and one confirmed." He explained as the sun fell his body began to burn away.

"What was that?" A voice said, the three demi-gods turned to find Percy, Thalia and Pheobe entering the lobby.

"Had a minor scuffle with the enemy...More like multiple scuffles. Results are as you can see a bit of wear and tear, tonne of spoils and three dead demigods or rather if you want specifics to potentially dead and one confirmed dead. That confirmed dead was an eye witness account of my opponent being turned into dinner by a Siberian Tiger sized hellhound. If you'll excuse me its time for me to do my Rider duties."

With that Harry transformed, blew a heart of smoke at Katie who grinned and watched him ride off into the evening.

That night the demigods slept easier than normal, well who can't help but sleep when you had the epitome of badassness of Ghost Rider riding the streets of New York delivering justice to the enemy.

Before she fell asleep Katie murmured "My love, go kickass and chew gum but we don't have any gum."
