CHAPTER 22: OLYMPIAN GRADE SMACKDOWN.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own PJO or the song 'Ayakata' they belong to Rick Riordian and the hip hop artistes Illbliss and Falz respectively. Now…..ON TO THE STORY!
PREVIUOSLY:
Percy rolled his eyes at the thought of the spectacle that was about to go down, it seemed that the immortal heroes had under gone a massive power boost. He knew he could take down four of them at most the rest he would take care of through the use of some Helixean energy.
Sadie kept her gaze on the group and asked, "From Dickson?" she asked making Percy snort but answer "No" he said simply, she fixed him with an irritated glare, "Just who the hell did you piss off?" she whispered harshly only to receive a shrug in response.
"Too many to count" he answered simply, she growled slightly but spoke again, "we can't take them all" she said quietly, "Don't worry about that, just hold your own and once I've taken down the fourth person if you want to keep fighting just come over and give me a tap on the shoulder if not then high tail the hell out of here" he replied.
Sadie gave him a confused look at the shoulder tapping part but regardless got into a crouched stance as he did.
Percy face her, "Oh and when this is done, I'll explain this ah situation" and on that final note the Greco Romans attacked.
Sadie took in a deep, long breath until her lungs were filled with oxygen making Percy cock an eyebrow at her choice of action from the corner of his eye only to be answered non verbally by the female with a look which he somehow knew meant 'cover your freaking eyes doofus' and so naturally (or un naturally considering his inability to comply with orders) he plugged his ears with his index fingers and for ggod measure squeezed his eyes shut.
Seeing that Percy had taken the 'precautionary' measure, Sadie immediately her throat and let out a shrill scream that sounded like that of a banshee…only much, much worse.
The effect was instantaneous as the rapidly approaching immortals halted mid step into their charge and dropped to their knees with the palms pressed firmly against their ear drums to block the noise out though such attempts were futile, if the trails of golden ichor running down their ears and noses were anything to go by.
The scream lasted a measly eight point five seconds and at the end of it Sadie was drained making her stumble a bit at the over exertion of her abilities, her exhaustion aside, the immortals had all taken the hit badly but regardless were beginning to rise to their feet with murderous and yet calculating looks on their faces directed towards the duo of Espers no doubt.
Seeing their recovery snapped Percy out of his train of thought, he would ask Sadie about her 'banshee scream' later but first they had to focus on their opponents and deliver a plate of well deserved ass whooping to the arrogant bunch of immortals in front of them.
That would be best served with a side of mocking…..but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Mars was the first to attack with his bloodied spear that had tendrils of electricity crackling at the tip, Percy effortlessly twisted his body to his left side to avoid being run through by the wicked looking spear before using the momentum of the spin to complete a 360 degree spin with his right palm closed into a fist. A fist that nailed the avenger of Rome on the cheek and sent him spinning on the same spot like a corkscrew before falling on his back with a groan of pain.
Seeing his father go down flipped the switch of Frank's anger and with a battle cry he charged the hybrid who gave him an incredulous look "Does he know how ridiculous he just looked?" Percy asked himself as the burly son of Mars charged him with his bow turned spear at the ready.
Let it be known that Percy Jackson was NOT a fan of battle cries.
Percy ducked under the baseball swing that Frank sent his way with the spear and kicked him in the knee cap sending the Asian Canadian demigod to go down on a knee with a grunt, despite the attack the son of Mars was still quick with his hands and quickly twirled the spear around causing it to morph back into a bow and a quiver full of arrows to materialize on his back before notching three arrows and firing them at the esper.
All this took place in the short span of two seconds.
Percy dodged the first two arrows with minimal effort and caught the last one before it could sail past his head an=d then threw it in a manner akin to throwing a dart at the son of Mars who was too late to do anything as the arrow lodged itself between his shoulder blades.
The legacy of Poseidon howled in agony at the wound (oh, did I forget to say that they were spiked with venom from the Manticore's spikes?) but was quickly silenced by a swift yet brutal kick to the side of his head, knocking him out cold with the possibility of him suffering a concussion later on.
In a dazzling yet effective movement of his feet he danced out of the way of two lightning bolts from the father/ son duo of Jason and Jupiter Optimus Maximus himself. Deciding to rub some mud into the pride of the sky god, he quickly set his hand alight with red electricity making everyone's eyes (bar Sadie who despite her weakened state was holding her own against Hazel and Pluto) widen in shock and some in disbelief before he hurled the ping pong sized ball of coloured electricity at the duo.
Jason had enough sense to dodge out of the way of the incoming ridiculous sized projectile coming his way while Jupiter on the hand, be it out of surprise or out of stupid pride (presented evidence points to the latter) stood his ground with his head held high and narrowed eyes at the incoming ball of energy….
…that is before he was shocked so hard he temporarily lost control of his bowel movement….
One can guess what happened next.
It was ironic really, the god of lightning being electrocuted to the point of defecating in his under garments…someone was laughing their ass off somewhere though…just don't know who or where exactly.
The other present immortals wrinkled their noses in disgust at the putrid smell of burning flesh mixed with faeces but wisely said nothing…though Poseidon and Pluto were snickering at the present situation of their younger brother.
Jupiter coughed up some ichor before reverting back to his Greek form of Zeus as his Roman form was injured, he honestly hadn't expected to be shocked by the ball of lightning, he was the god of the sky dammit! He was the one supposed to be shocking the brat to within an inch of his life and not the other way around!
The worst thing about it, was that Zeus knew that the boy had just used a sliver of his total power on that attack…the youngest son of Kronos and Rhea sweat dropped as he realized that the boy was just toying with them.
Snapping out of that train of thought, Zeus narrowed his eyes at the insolent mortal and began to glow, seeing his action the other Olympians stepped back as well and began to glow, Sadie's brows furrowed in confusion at their course of action while Percy's eyes widened in alarm.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Percy dived Sadie, sending both of them crashing to the ground with him straddling her, before she could comment (or protest) on their less than innocent looking situation he quickly covered her eyes with both his palms and squeezed his own eyelids shut just as the deities unleashed their true forms.
Seeing the distraction provided by their parents, the immortal heroes attempted to capitalize on it and capture the duo but were quickly knocked off their feet by an enormous explosion of aura.
The aura was so massive, it snuffed out the divine forms of the Olympians as if they were mere candles in the presence of a tornado before blasting them too off their feet as well.
Percy was already standing on his feet once more but this time around his entire body was crackling with tendrils of sea green energy, his sclera had turned into an unsettling pitch black colour while his pupils had turned to a solid gold, he opened his mouth to speak and a voice that definitely did not belong to him spoke.
"Well this fight just got boring….time to make it lively" the voice said making shivers run up the spine of everyone present, not even Kronos' voice could do that to them.
Percy's head turned over to Sadie who was watching the ongoing events with a single brow cocked showing her mild surprise at the freakiness of the situation and asked her a question.
"Illbliss and Falz or Imagine Dragons?" it asked her eagerly making her blink in confusion, "Uh, Illbliss and Falz" she answered wondering why the hell he was asking about music at a time like this.
Percy raised a brow at her, "Going east huh? Oh well, let's get this party started" he exclaimed while rubbing his palms together with barely restrained glee before dropping to the ground and his eyes went back to their bright sea green colour with a confused look on his face, "What the hell happe…" his question was cut off by music booming from all corners of the forest without any visible speakers.
Oga boss
Let's go ahn
Illbliss yea
Falz the bad guy oshe!
Let's go yea
The immortals jumped at the sudden sound of music that was booming from all around them while Percy's face went blank at the sound of the music…."What the literal fuck am I listening to?" he questioned himself only to hear a huff in his head, "What do you mean by that?! This song is awesome!" the same annoying voice he heard in his head those two weeks ago spoke.
Percy opened his mouth and closed it as he decided that it would be pointless to argue with the consciousness of the Helixean essence inside him, with a sigh he pumped a fair amount of Helixean energy into his limbs and cratered the ground he once stood on as he vanished in a burst of speed just as the music as if it was being un paused began to play again.
Ayakata, illi ti show
Ayakata and it's becoming a tradition
The way we are killing the show ayakata
He materialized in front of Pluto first who drew out a sword to block the incoming fist but was too slow to do jack shit and was punched squarely in the jaw before being kicked to the side of the face round house style, sending him crashing into Hazel who was already rushing to his aid.

Seeing his brother (in a way) go down, Poseidon sent a blast of sea green godly energy but was surprised as Percy slapped the beam of energy back to him with his right palm, the beam slammed into his chest causing him to fall to his knees with a pained grunt, his agony however was short lived as Percy was immediately in front of him and delivered a devastating head butt.
Aeroplane ti land
Come and see power changing hand
It's not the way we planned
But now we dey pay for land
Now we dey play for jand
Now na we dey demand
We just landed in cape town
Tore the stage down
And we made some rand
Deciding to snap the their jaws that were wide open in surprise shut, the immortal heroes decided to join the fray, Eric closed his palm and tightened it into a fist before slamming said fist into the ground causing a magnitude 6.0 earthquake to shake the area.
Oya get paper, Rest later
Get that whip, that's a bread taker
Na money we dey chop oh tell the caterer
If you know my poison tell the waiter
To his surprise, the earthquake served no other purpose than to sweep the remnant of his allies off their feet and not in a good way as Percy capitalized on Hephaestus's disorientation to deliver two vicious back hands to the opposite sides of his face, the first one sending him crashing through a tree and the second knocking his blacksmith ass (no offence to blacksmith's) out.
Shout out to my fans, don't forget the hater
You for don see me if you read the paper
You go know when we spend the cake
When we land it's an earth quake
Zeus quickly summoned his master bolt to his waiting palms before hurling it with all his might at the boy. Fact of the matter, Percy dodged the bolt, but the symbol of power still hit something, or rather someone, a someone by the name of Piper Mclean.

Seeing his girlfriend go down, Jason's focus on the ongoing battle dropped to zero and he ran to his girlfriends side. A mistake on his part which was proved as Percy materialized by his side and struck him at the small of his back with a bone shattering punch that broke his spine making him cough out ichor and rendering him both unconscious and immobile if he were to wake up….he was immortal after all, it's not like such an ijury would kill him.
Oga na boss ayakata

Percy crossed his arms into an 'X' just as Bellona swung her humongous flame coated sword at him making the sword bounce off his arm with a resounding clang, despite her shock at that, she was a war goddess for a reason and jumped back to get some air. Her action was futile as she was met with a flurry of haymakers and jabs that made her head spin before she was knocked out as well with a well placed slap.

Hazel pushed the unconscious form of her father off her person with a huff before getting to her feet while grumbling, she picked up her large sword before twirling it around a bit and then slamming it from tip to hilt into the soft forest ground causing an earthquake of her own which to her further dismay served no purpose than throwing her allies bar Eric (whom glared at her for the stunt) around like rag dolls.
N'afa nna na nwa na mmuo nso
Flow gi a bu mmiri nso
Ma chukwu agozie me na folarin
No sleep till I pull up in a McLaren eh
Nwanne odigi n'aru
Street nine'a kwugi n'azu
Percy skid to a stop from all his running about and sucked in a large breath making the immortals scramble to cover their ears due to their previous experience with the female esper.
If his air passages weren't filled with air he would've snorted
Been a boss from the get go
With a friend or foe
Let's get dough
Now back to why we are here
Once he decided that he had enough air in his lungs, he let all the accumulated air out by blowing it through his lips, the effects of his action was immediate as whatever came in contact with it was encased in ice. And by 'whatever' we mean 'whoever', 'whoever's' by the names of Hazel, Aphrodite, Leo and Hades (whom had reverted back to his Greek form on his Roman aspect's defeat). Eric was quick enough to defend the remainder of themselves by drawing water from the surrounding flora and forming a shield with it which the freeze breath froze in their steads.
Trouble and bar,we still tear
Hope to God my point's clear
Sess my nvgga let's change gear
Can't hold me down
Can't nail me
Percy's hand began to vibrate and with another burst of speed, cratered the ground where he once stood and punched every single individual encased in their respective blocks of ice right in the sternum area causing the ice to explode as he zoomed out of the blast radius.
Apparently, the ice had explosive properties.
My family turned against me
But am used to it you reptiles
Now double M projectiles
Get paper Rest later
White boys rapping like first graders
The shockwave caused by the explosion sent the remainder of the immortals flying backwards until they all either slammed into trees/rocks or carved trenches in the ground. Despite that however, Annabeth managed to get on her feet first and popped her dislocated shoulder back in place with a sickening 'pop'. "Keep him busy Eric" she muttered quietly to her boy friend who was slowly climbing back to his feet. Before turning her gaze to the female who was leaning against a tree while watching the fight with a blank face.
Oga boss na the best label
Nwanne ka anyi fuzie na chess table
Clear the road when illi show
Am wondering where did my feelings go
Go to my neck am feeling cold
The gears began to turn rapidly in the daughter of Athena's head, from when they had arrived earlier she could deduce that there was a sort of bond between the two meaning that if she could subdue the female and hold her hostage then the male would surrender.
Flow sick it's really gross
Your not balling, you be needing coach
Am not made but am really close
Capital still in the building yo!
Annabeth quickly drew twin daggers from the sheaths on her thighs and closed the distance between herself and the girl in the blink of an eye only to be sent back just as quickly as a foot slammed into her gut harshly causing her to empty the contents of her belly and some blood as she flew back.
Falz ti dey ayakata
Illi ti show ayakata
And it's becoming a tradition
The way we killing the show
Ayakata
The daughter of Athena rose to her feet shakily only to meet a pair of cold blue eyes that were few inches in front of her face causing her to yelp in surprise only to be sent back once more by a knee to the gut.
Oga na boss ayakata And it's becoming a tradition

Eric some to his feet before removing his bronze helmet from his head and crushing it under his foot, he tapped the watch on his wrist causing it to expand into a bronze Spartan shield before looking around for his allies only to see them all knocked out due to one thing or the other, all except Athena who looked too injured for simple ambrosia or nectar to heal and Annabeth who was under going a harsh beating in the hands of the boy's female companion.
Looks like he was on his own now.
Gbedu to drop ayakata
Speaker ti beh ayakata
Your bae is a fan
She say am the man
Container to land ayakata
He narrowed his eyes at Percy who was looking at him with a lazy smile plastered on his face, he capped his sword Anaklusmos and charged the esper who raised an unimpressed brow at him before closing the distance between them and head butting him.
HUh, Ayakata
Killing the show (problem) ayakata
I got illi with me so you know I ain't worried
Falz got my back so you know I am willing
Ogbeni abeg you don't mess with my team
I bet you ain't know about me
To his credit, Eric recovered from the strike quickly and bashed Percy's face with his shield, causing said shield to dent while Percy frowned at the stinging sensation in his nose, impenetrable skin or not, being hit in the nose hurts like hell.
I got paper, Rest later
Money so long like skyscrapers
I ain't got time for no haters
Got money on my mind so see you later
Eh Huh huh
My voice is sweet ayakata (ayakata)
And my beat dey bang ayakata
Before the arrogant son of Poseidon could back pedal, Percy grabbed him by his breast plate, the bronze crumpling like cloth under the strength of his fingers, and flung him to a nearby tree. The tree snapped in half due the speed and force that the son of Poseidon had slammed into the tree with while said sea spawn gasped in pain as he felt a rib of two break.
Falz ti dey ayakata
Illi ti show ayakata
And it's becoming a tradition
The way we killing the show
Ayakata
Despite his pain, Eric still got up and threw his shield like a Frisbee at the esper, only for said esper to grab the shield as it inched closer to his face and riposted with the same shield.
Oga na boss ayakata
Falz nwanne ayakata
And it's becoming a tradition
The way we killing the show
Ayakata
Eric's eyes widened in alarm as he saw the incoming shield but was quick enough to dodge it, he sprinted towards Percy once more and slashed horizontally but slashed nothing but air, his demigod senses tingled and he jumped up to avoid a leg sweep from behind but was too\ late to avoid the fist that slammed into the right side of his head (in reality it was just a love tap) and knocking him unconscious.

Percy dusted himself off as the song came to an end and looked to his right where he saw Sadie drop Annabeth with two slaps to the side of the head before she walked over to him.
"Sooooo…." Sadie drawled, "…friends of yours?" she asked conversationally making Percy snort, "If these people are friends of mine, then I'd rather have enemies" he stated before pausing slightly.
"This was the worst experience I have ever gone through in my life" he intoned making Sadie hum in agreement, "I agree, the song did not match up with any of the events that occurred just now" she supplied.
They fell into silence once more.
Until the both of them couldn't take it anymore.
"I guess you could tell me your connection to these psycho's" Sadie said while gesturing to the unconscious immortals. Percy gave her a blank stare, "First of all, don't be a hypocrite, you and I both know we're both psycho's. Secondly, why not? I intend to interrogate these fools when they wake up" Percy replied as he plopped to the ground and sat Indian style.
Sadie nodded and followed his example.
"Well…what do you know about Greek myths?..."
AN: Well it's a wrap, and if you guys are confused on the song, then you're not alone, I honestly don't know why I decided to put that songs out of many others for a fight scene nonetheless.
