Chapter 48:

Percy Decker, the son of Pan, ran through the water park with his best friend Nico next to him. They both had their weapons drawn out as they ran next to Sally Jackson, the mother of Percy Jackson, the person who Decker wanted to grow up to be.

"We need to get to Picnic Grove!" Ed shouted out as he lead the small group towards the meeting place. They all had heard the message on the speakers from Charles Beckendorf, telling them to get to the grove, they only hoped they could make it before something happened.

Decker nodded as they moved through the laid down pathways. Just then a foot crashed into the ground a few feet in front of them. Decker looked up in horror as he saw a naked 30 foot tall woman look down at them with a hungry grin on her face.

"Kids run!" Ed shouted as he reached into his pocket pulling out a key chain. He tossed the key into the air and Decker watched as it transformed into mace made of celestial bronze with a morning star on top.

The 30 foot monster bent down and tried to grab Sally only for Ed to jump in and smash his weapon into the monster's hand tearing it's skin apart.

"Graa!" the monster roared in irritation more than pain. It started to attack Ed, who slowly started to move away from the group leading the monster futher and futher away from the mortal woman.

"Decker!" Nico shouted causing the son of Pan to snap his attention back to the son of Hades, "we need to move."

Decker nodded as the two began running pulling Sally along with them. "What about Edward?!" Sally asked looking at the son of Hermes who was jumping all over the place to avoid getting hit by the Gergosas' giant fists.

"He can take care of himself!" Decker called out as he tightened his grip on his sword, Leafblade, the same weapon Percy gifted to him.

They twisted and turned all over the park when suddenly a Gergosa jumped right in front of them. It was on all fours with it's mouth flooded with its saliva. It looked at them as it drooled all over the ground, and suddenly it charged.

"Get down!" Nico shouted as he grabbed Sally and pulled her down while Decker used his control over nature to attack the monster. Suddenly the rose bushes on the sides exploded towards the Gergosas tangling it up in a huge hedge of thorns and roses.

Decker stepped back as his head was covered with sweat, he had used a lot of his energy for that move, and it probably is only going to slow it down.

"You okay Decker?" Nico asked he helped Sally up.

"I'm fine," Decker said panting. Nico nodded as they turned around and ran. They took a left and went further away from the Gergosa when suddenly they heard something snap. Through his mental connection with the fauna around him Decker knew it was the roses he put in front of that Gergosa.

They quickly reached the Big Kahuna wave pool, they were halfway there now. But just then a huge figure jumped over them and into the pool causing half the water inside the pool to splash out.

Decker's eyes widened as he saw the four limb walking Gergosa stare at them, it was covered with cuts but it didn't seem to care.

It jumped out of the pool and towards them, Decker readied his blade when suddenly a blast of darkness collided with the monster in mid air sending him back into the water.

Decker turned to Nico who had both hand spread out and open. His head was covered with sweat, but he didn't look too exhausted.

They quickly grabbed Sally and tired to run for it when suddenly another Gergosa got in their path. This one stood on two limbs and had long blonde hair. It was a woman, the same one that Ed had lead away from them.

"We need to keep Sally safe!" Nico said as they turned around and ran the other way. Just then the second Gergosa jumped out of the water and landed in front of them closing all escape routes.

Decker and Nico stood on either side of Sally with their blades up. They looked as the Gergosas closed in on them. Their breath smelt like rotting flesh, their teeth was covered with blood. But worst of all was their eyes. Those dead, soulless eyes that made them feel less than human.

Decker felt sacred, paralyzed even, but he wouldn't' give up no…..Percy wouldn't give up, and neither would he!

Decker sent a blast of his mana outwards as he caught onto the minds of every single plant and bug that was around them. Decker's nose started leaking blood from the stress of controlling all of those things at once, but he pushed through, "attack!"

Suddenly the plants around them did just that. The pine trees sent out sharp pine needles at the Gergosas. This caused them to get irritated but that was when the creepers attacked. They climbed around the Gergosa's legs and tied them up paralyzing the monsters.

"Now Nico!" Decker shouted as he used his magic to enhance the strength of the creepers. Nico immediately moved as he shot a shadow grapple from his arm into the side of the Gergosa.

Nico launched sideways into the air and quickly swung around the Gergosa. He then cut the shadow line and launched another shadow grapple across the monster and pulled. Nico flew threw the air and readied his blade as he passed by the Gergosa's neck.

The moment he was close enough for his blade to reach Nico swung, and swung hard. He cut halfway into the monster's neck causing it to cry out in pain. Nico landed safely on the ground but stumbled as he was exhausted. He had been fighting for so long, this last attack was just one in a string of Gergosas he had to face and put down. The only thing that helped him move was the adrenaline flowing through him.

Nico grinned as he looked at Decker giving him a thumbs up.

Decker grinned but just then the second Gergosa, the one on four limbs, snapped out of his bound causing Decker to fall down in pain. He was mentally connected to the plant, he felt what it felt.

Sally immediately went to Decker's side and held on tight, "are you okay Decker? Speak to me Decker?! Decker?! Decker?!"

The son of Pan was unconscious as the Gergosa stood over them with it's droll rolling over Sally's head. It looked down at them and meet Sally's eye, fear ran through the mortal woman's veins. Her life passed right before her eyes as she closed them accepting her fate.

"No!" Nico shouted as he tried to run, but he knew he wouldn't it there on time. He shot a shadow grapple at the monster and saw the Gergosa simply knock it to the side. The attack wasn't large enough or sharp enough to damage it.

The monster then opened it's mouth and bent down.

"Get away from them!"

Sally looked up to see Edward jumped from the top of a kid's water slide bringing his mace down on top of the Gergosa's neck. The impact snapped the monster's neck in half tearing out blood vessels and nerves as the monster roared in pain.

Sally grabbed Decker and moved away as the Gergosa fell down in front of her. Edward rolled off of the monster's neck, his left hand was broken but he still had his right. He lifted his mace up single handedly and brought it down again on the monster's neck.

The Gergosa roared as it started to shake it's neck throwing Edward to the side. It then lunged at him trying to eat him whole when suddenly several of the vines that remained intact jumped up and grabbed the monster by the neck and squeezed.

Sally looked down at Decker, he had only one eye opened and passing in and out of consciousness, but he held on.

Nico jumped on top of the monster's neck and grabbed onto the wound Edward made. The monster roared as it tried to shake Nico off but the son of Hades held on. He then began to gather the shadows around him, transforming them into knives and shoving them into the Gergosa cutting its neck off from the inside out.

"ARGH!" the monster roared but it soon stopped thrashing around as it's limbs gave out from under it causing it to collapse onto the ground.

"Are you guys okay?" Nico asked looking to Sally and Decker, who finally let go of his control over the vines and fell unconscious.

"We are fine, see if Edward is hurt," Sally told Nico as she got up with Decker in her hands. The 10 year old boy was heavy but Sally refused to leave the brave young man behind. He had saved her life, it was the least she could do.

Nico quickly found Ed who was thrown into the pool. After retrieving his mace, which he turned back into a set of keys, the two walked back to Sally who looked him over. Ed had a broken hand a several cuts, but he still smiled, "stop checking me out Sally, if Percy finds out he just might kill me."

Sally chuckled, "yes he can be a bit….over protective," she quickly sobered up, "are you okay?"

Edward nodded, "yeah, nothing I can't recover from."

Sally nodded as she turned to Nico, "we need to move. Can you help support him?" Nico nodded and the group quickly began running back to Picnic Grove.

"Do you think Percy and the other's are going to be okay?" Nico asked worried.

Edward chuckled, "kid Percy fought these things before, and he kicked their ass. He'll be fine. It's us I'm worried about."

Sally nodded, "and we will be fine too. Don't worry Nico," she smiled at the boy, "everything is going to be fine."

Just then a large explosion was heard;

BOOM!

They all turned and noticed that the sound had come from the far side of the park, where Nico had last seen Percy and his sister. Right after Percy jumped out of the ride they were attacked by a small army of Gergosas. Nico had managed to kill one and run away, but in the process he lost sight of his sister. He had no idea what to do until he meet Sally, Ed and Decker.

"I think that might be him," Nico muttered.

"No shit kid," Edward muttered, "who else do you know that can cause an explosion that loud?"


With Percy;

Percy punched Argo across the face so hard the resulting extra force sent the rocks behind the man flying back. Argo however stood his ground as his body took the full force of the attack.

"You've gotten stronger," Argo noted as he started attacking Percy with an expanded plame that tried to cut into Percy's armour.

Percy's reflexes were sharp as he moved away from the strikes, expertly dodging them all the while looking for a weak spot.

"Did you crawl out of your little hole just to piss on my day?" Percy asked as he pushed back Argo with his telekinetic powers. He then jumped forward swinging Waverider down while freezing Argo's legs into place.

"Oh yes, happy birthday by the way," Argo said as he broke out of the ice restraints dogging Percy's attack by stepping to the side. Percy moved to strike with Riptide when Argo suddenly vanished in a flash of blue lighting.

'Shit!' Percy cursed himself as he activated his super speed moving around from one spot to another all around the park.

"Still to slow Percy," Argo whispered in his ear as he caught up to the boy and punched him on the side knocking him into a huge slip and slide which Percy tore through. The slide fell down pinning Percy underneath the wreckage.

Percy groaned, 'he's gotten much faster.'

The first time Argo moved that fast he managed to break one of Percy's ribs. Percy had become more alert after that but the man was still managing to beat the shit out of him. It was that blue lighting around Argo, Percy didn't know what it was, but it activated every time Argo used his super speed. Those two had to be related somehow.

On, and he had super speed, did he mention that?

Percy looked up, there was atleast a ton of metal from the ride now on top of him. The only reason he wasn't being crushed to death was because of his new armour and his marble skin skill. Percy turned into smoke as he flew out of the wreckage.

He transformed into his human form again as he quickly turned to see Argo standing before him grinning from ear to ear. "I must admit, Poseidon really did out do himself this time," Argo leered at Percy causing a shiver to run down the boy's spine, "it suits you Percy."

"Shove it up your ass Argo," Percy growled as he sent a wave of darkness and ice at the man.

Argo chuckled, "you still never learn do you?" Argo caught the ice with his bare hands stopping it while he sent a wave of Haki outwards destroying the shadows, "you can't harm me useing magic."

"I know," a huge steel pipe flew at Argo. The man's eyes widened as he smashed his fist into the pipe destroying bending it in half and throwing it to the side. Argo looked up again to see more and more beans and other metal object being thrown at him.

"This!" Argo kicked a pipe, "won't!" he punched a beam, "Save you!" he grabbed a metal rod and covered it with the signature black hue of haki. He then used the rod to bash the falling debris away. "Come out and fight PERCY!"

"DONE!" Percy roared as he jumped up with a 40 foot beam between his hands. His fingers dug into it as he brought it down on top of Argo who moved to the side to avoid the blow he knew he couldn't defend.

Percy let go of the beam and activated his super speed as he and Argo zoomed away. Percy drew Argo towards the exit, if he fought the man with all the strength he had he would destroy the entire park and all his friends in it. He needed to get out of here before he could unleash his full power.

"You're not going anywhere Percy," Argo was again covered with that mysterious blue lighting as he overtook percy and they started exchanging blows at near sonic speeds. Waves of power flew past them both as each blow they launched at each other caused a shockwave of energy.

Percy suddenly noticed something in the corner of his eye, a Gergosa that was attacking what looked like a group of Aphrodite kids. Percy cursed himself, he need to help them.

He managed to disengage from Argo by summoning a huge rock telepathically in the man's path. Argo destroyed the stone with his bare hands and turned to see Percy gone.

"Where-" Argo began when suddenly a roar cut him off.

"GRA!" Argo turned to see Percy slice a Gergosa in half saving a few of his fellow campers.

Argo grinned, "fool."

Percy landed next to the Aphrodite kids and looked them over, "are you alright?" They nodded, "good. Get to Picnic Grove now!"

"W-what about you?" one of them asked.

"I'll be fine, now g-" Argo came up behind him and punched Percy in the back sending him flying away shattering his spine.

"Fuck!" Percy roared as he skidding across the gravel and into a tree. He could feel his spine was broken. He immediately activated his healing spell and reached back to try and heal himself when suddenly his hands were caught in a tight grip.

"You really shouldn't turn your back on me Percy," Argo growled out as he twisted Percy's arm, "you might not live to regret it."

Percy could feel Argo trying to snap his arm off. The only reason he hadn't was because Percy was pulling back with his amazing strength, but that wasn't going to be enough.

Suddenly an idea came to Percy, it was fucking crazy, but just might work. He reached out with his mind and found Argo's zipper. He unzipped and threw down the man's pants.

"What the," Argo's grip loosened at the shock of his pants dropping.

Percy grinned, 'I am so going to use this more often,' Percy broke free of Argo's grip and placed on arm on his spine healing it with a golden glow.

"What-NO!" Argo moved to hurt Percy again when Percy leaned forward and sent a back kick hitting Argo in the jaw.

Percy rolled forward and got up in one quick motion. "IMPACT DRIVE!" Percy roared out as he sent a punch using his super speed to clock Argo across the jaw. The man slid back a few feet, but he didn't even get knocked over. He spat out a broken tooth and a wad of blood as he grinned at Percy.

"Not good enough boy," Argo suddenly blasted him with a mass of blue and black mana that exploded outwards blasting Percy back a few good feed and disorienting his vision. Before he could recover Argo grabbed him by the cape and spun him around like a club before throwing him through a bunch of trees and into a big pool of water.

"Fucking cape," Percy cursed. That move Argo used, that was mana control, a skill percy recently acquired. No doubt about it. Argo had somehow obtained it, or maybe he had it all along. Percy got to his feet as felt the water already healing him as he looked at the defence remaining;

Defence- 432,928,432

Considering that was at 500,000,000 just a few hits ago meant that the only reason Percy was even managing to hold up against Argo was because of his powers. If he was a normal demigod he would be dead by now.

Percy quickly summoned the water around him and sent it at Argo. The man quickly covered his entire body with haki. But instead of attacking him, Percy transformed the water into a drill via his water construction spell and sent it underneath him.

Argo had only a second to be confused when a giant hand of water rose up from the ground and closed around Argo and the rocks around him.

Percy had spent a lot of time thinking up ways to counteract Haki, but in the end it was Thalia who gave him an answer to his question.

If haki took away the form of an element by starving it of mana, simply use the mana to manipulate the something else to hurt Argo with. Hence while Argo could destroy the water, he won't be able to do shit about the rocks currently crushing him.

"ENOUGH!" Water and rocks exploded outwards as a wave of Argo's mana destroyed it into nothing.

Percy grunted as he was pushed back from the shockwave, but he held on. He looked up and saw Argo step out of the mess of water and stone covered head to toe with blue lighting. He smiled gleefully, his eyes glowed blue with power.

"Do you want to know how I got this power?" Argo asked looking at his hand, "it really is quite a story you know."

"Don't care!" Percy cried out as he took out Riptide and Waverider. He then began attacking Argo with the two swords as the man calmly dodged all the attacks.

"You can't hit what you can't catch Percy," Argo said smugly as quickly began his attack. His fists flew so fast Percy only saw the blue lighting that followed them.

"You really should be more patient Percy," Argo punched his back and then his sides, "if I told you how I got my powers maybe you would have been inspired to join me."

Each hit was like bullet, sharp and very painful. Percy managed to stay on his feet only thanks to the defence of his armour, but he needed to make his move, now.

"Stop talking!" Percy cried out as he stamped his foot on the ground sending a shockwave out tripping Argo up. The blue speedster was stopped for just a second, but that second was all Percy needed.

Percy stamped down breaking the man's leg in half. He then grabbed Argos' head with his left while he activated Body Form;

Body Form Activated: Right arm

STR- 69,120 (+20) = 69,140 X 10 = 691,400

Percy felt his right arm bulge out. He could see his armour increase in size to compensate for the increased sense. Already the pain of his body trying to adjust for the extra strength came up. But Percy ignored it all.

He drew back his right arm and launched it at Argo's head. The man's eyes widened at the punch sent his way. It flew like a missile, Argo knew he couldn't afford to be hit by that.

He formed a mana shield in front of him, he poured everything he had into a barrier between his face and Percy's first.

Percy's right hand tore through the barriers but for slowed down by a few nanoseconds. And that time was all Argo needed.

The man started to vibrate in Percy's hand and moved fast enough to slip between the molecules of Percy's arm and fall to the ground below.

Percy fist missed Argo by a few inches. He looked down, Argo was crawling away as fast as he could, with a broken leg that was hard to do. Percy jumped and brought down his fist on top of Argo.

The man turned around, "Full throttle!" Argo roared as he covered himself wholly with his haki raising both hands to block Percy's attack.

BOOM!

The entire park shock. A crack formed in the ground going 40 feet deep, splitting the entire park in half.

Percy could hear the cry of his fellow demigods, 'shit!' Percy realised the damage he had caused. He was about to go and try and help anyone he may have accidentally hurt but just then a black fist rose up from the ground and hit Percy in the abs sending him flying back.

The son of Poseidon groaned as he looked up to see Argo standing above him with a broken right arm and a bruise on his chest. His leg was in a make shift cast or sorts, Argo must have made it as Percy was recovering. He wouldn't be able to run at full speed, that was good news for Percy. His suit was torn up, Percy smiled, 'at least I ruined his fashion statement.'

"I'll admit I was foolish to think I could take you on Percy," Argo said as Percy got to his feet as well, "you've gotten much stronger. It's almost impossible to calculate the rate of your improvement. One could almost say you were a God in disguise."

"Believe me Argo if I had that kind of power I would blast you into nothing," Percy growled as he reached into his belt belt pockets and took out Waverider and Riptide uncapping them and leveling them against Argo.

"Oh you may not be a God Percy but you certainly have the power of one," Argo reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a disk. It was black and on it was a back lighting bolt. Argo flipped it around grinning, "like it? It's my own creation? My own suit of armour."

Percy Observed the disk;

SSDWEO$#P$O%I%% ##

'Shit,' Percy cursed as Argo's grin grew bolder.

"Oh I felt that," Argo chuckled out causing Percy's hands to turn cold, "you were just trying to use your powers to find out what this is wern't you?" Percy said nothing, he didn't want to risk Argo getting any information on powers, "I'll take your silence as a yes."

"Why are you doing this Argo?" Percy asked, "and why are you doing this alone? Where are the titans? Where is Kronos? I doubt your master would approve of this attack."

"Oh he doesn't know," Argo waved off the question, "I quite working for that psychopath."

Percy huffed, "psychopath, right. That's rich coming from you."

"Well I'm not the one who's trying to-" Argo stopped talking and grinned, "oh you clever boy. Trying to fish for information huh? Well I'm not telling, not one more word."

Percy was frustrated, it was a good thing that his helmet covered his face as well because he couldn't hold back a frown from gracing his lips. Argo loved to talk about useless things, but the moment we got to something interesting he shuts down.

"Why not?" Percy asked, "you don't owe the crazy titan anything."

"Hmm….true," Argo grin grew feral, "how about this, an answer for an answer."

Percy glared, "what's the question?"

"Did you ask them?"

"Ask who what?"

"Them, the Gods," Argo formed, "did you ask them what happened 200 years ago?"

Percy was surprised, "you were serious about that?"

Argo growled, "of course I was serious! Why wouldn't I be?! So you didn't ask them?! All this time and you didn't ask them?!"

Percy growled, "no."

"Foolish boy," Argo spat, "I offered you freedom from your shackles, but you failed to do even the simplest of tasks. Fine, remain a slave to them forever, but don't forget I gave you a way out."

"I'm not a slave to them Argo, never have, never will."

"Oh but you have always been a slave to them Percy," Argo grinned, "since the moment I laid eyes on you I knew you were a slave to them. The boy who has been touched by the Fates."

Percy's eyes widened in horror, "w-what?"

"I can feel their power on you Percy," Argo chuckled as the two slowly began to circle each other, "I can feel them standing over your shoulder, pulling on your collar. Telling to do what they want you to do, and if you obey them, they give you a treat, like the good little dog you are. I think that's how you got so strong so fast, yes?"

Percy's face paled, "h-how are you doing this?"

"Haki can be used for a lot of things Percy," Argo grinned, "in fact I can sense every single ability you have right now. All your mana, just swimming in there. Telekinesis, Ice, Shadow, Water, Earthquake, pocket dimensions creation, destruction, some form of simple defence mechanism that changes your skin to marble, turning into smoke, the touch of death, healing, identification of a visible subject, mana sense, mana control, ohh didn't know you had that last one, impressive."

Percy's feet were checking, 'him-he knows them. He knows all of them.' "H-how?"

Argo grinned, "it's because of you Percy. When you collapsed my lab on top of me you made me realise I have been largely ignoring my training. I crawled out of that hell hole and I began my new life. I have seen the truth Percy. Before I dedicated my life to make the ordinary the extraordinary. To make them spectacular, to make them, what I believed to be the perfect being, a divine. But you, with a simple bomb and a group of pirates, managed to destroy my work. It was because of you Percy that I realised that the perfect being isn't a God, but a demigod."

Percy's tightened the grip on his weapons, 'please tell me I didn't just create a super villain. Please, please please Gods above. Please tell me this isn't an origin story!'

Argo's grin turned vicious, "you made me what I am Percy Jackson. And I will make it my life goal to make sure I pay back this debt I owe you!"

Percy looked at Argo in the eyes. He could feel the bloodlust coming out of Argo, the anger, the excitement. He sighed and said only one thing, "your mama is so fat when she walked past the window I lost three days of sunlight."

Argo blinked, "what?"

Percy opened his perks and activated one he had switched off a long time ago;

Anger of Alecto- whenever the user succeeds in taunting an enemy they are infected with the Anger of Alecto which gives them double their strength but also makes them clumsy and highly ignorant of their surrounds.(Active)

This was the first perk he ever got and Percy had always had this on none active. He always fought opponents with monstrous strength, so a perk that made them stronger was something he didn't need. But now….Argo's power was focused on speed, not strength, and so Perry could finally use this.

"I said," Percy closed the box looking at Argo, "your mother is so fat when she jumped out of a plan she crashed into the sea and formed a tsunami."

"What the hell are you doing?" Argo asked confused.

Percy had came up with this plan the moment Arog started to list off his powers. Percy noticed something, not once did the madman mention one of his perks, not even the super speed one. Sure it may have been because it was obvious, but so was the water control thing. So that meant Argo's powers couldn't detect all the perks Percy had, only the skills.

Argo probably thought that his speed and strength was something came by naturally or through his divine side. Percy could work with that.

"You know Argo your mother really should have swallowed you," Percy said with a sigh, "you aren't worth the dirt it would take to bury you."

Argo blinked, "are you…..are you insulting me?"

Percy sighed, "duh. Sigh, I feel so sad for you Argo, you aren't pretty enough to be this stupid."

"You really this is just a waste of time right? There is nothing you can say that can taunt me."

"If I wanted to commit suicide I would climb up your ego and jump down to your IQ level."

Argo's eyes twitched, "you realise I have an IQ of 162 right?"

"And your Ego is over 9,000, one more point and it will be equal to the amount of women who have rejected you."

"That is not true!" Argo yelled out in a squeaky voice, "I have dated plenty of women!"

"Has anyone ever told you your voice become extremely high when you're angry? You could be like the fourth member of the Alvin and the Chipmunks."

"You are so annoying!"

"I've been called worse things by better people," Percy shrugged, "plus coming from you that's a compliment."

"I'm going to kill you!"

Ping!

You have successfully taunted an enemy! Anger of Alecto activated!

Ping!

A skill have leveled up!

Taunt, Lv-9 (0%)

You can cause your opponent to lose their cool and do something stupid.

45% chance of working

Argo took the black disk he had and pressed it on his chest. Suddenly a black cloth exploded outwards and covered him whole. They way it moved was similar to Percy's own armour, except it had no metal parts.

The black cloth took the form of a skin tight suit. His fingers turned into claws as blue lightning erupted from his body. There was blue lines lining Argo's suit and a full face mask that looked like it was modeled from Argo's face. The mask had no opening for a mouth and his eyes were covered with something black. On the side of the mask were lightning bolts similar to the lightning bolt on his chest.

"Impressive," Percy said as he began to twirl around Waverider, "I'm going to enjoy ripping it off of your dead body."

"ARGHH!" the mad man vanished in a blur of speed and blue lighting. Percy pushed forward going as fast as he can.

BOOM!

The park shock the moment the two powerful being crashed into one another. Percy and Argo exchanged blows after blows. Argo managed to catch or deflect most of Percy's swings, but Percy wasn't that fast. The only plus point in Percy's book was the fact that Argo wasn't strong enough to break his armour.

Percy stomped the ground causing sending a shock wave outwards catching Argo of gaurd. Percy then engaged the man as he began wailing Argo using his karate moves seamlessly blending each and every movement.

"You learnt to actually fight," Argo said as Percy kept pushing him back. He blocked all his attacks but Percy didn't care, he wanted was for Argo's attention to remain on the fists coming for his face.

Argo then went on the offensive as he began to slowly increase his speed. Percy did his best to dodge, a few hits got it, but they didn't hurt him.

"You're distracted boy!" Argo roared, "I'm insulted! What has your attention other than me?!"

"Look up," Percy said as he used his left hand to block Argo's punches.

"Like I'm going to fall for-" Percy sent a uppercut his way knocking Argo's head upwards. He looked up and saw several large amusement park equipment floating above them, either being held by pills of water, shadow or simply flying on their own thanks to Percy's telekinesis.

"Surprise!" Percy punched Argo in the stomach knocking the air out of him. He then let go of all the equipment being held above them cause them to come crashing down. Argo tried to run away, but Percy caught him in a bear hug and tackled him to the ground, "you're not going anywhere!"

Argo tried to get loose, but the shadow of the falling items just kept growing and growing. Argo turned back and saw it nearly upon them both, "fuck."

KRACK!

Percy turned into smoke before the debris fell down on them as easily made it out of the trap. Percy reformed outside the clump of metal and started to pant. He had to split his mind's attention three separate ways for that to work. Keep Argo busy, gathered all the materials in question and try not to die.

"JACKSON!" came a modulated voice that sounds like it belonged to Megatron.

Percy sighed, 'of course he's still alive. At this point I'm not even surprised.' Argo walked out of the mess, his whole body vibrating so fast Percy couldn't make out his form.

It just looked like a vague black blurred man. Blue lightning cracked all around him as the man looked at Percy speaking in the modulated voice, "like it? A little trick I picked up from a friend. Do you know how I'm doing it?"

"You vibrating at the exact frequency of the materials around you making you intangible," Percy guessed, he needed to keep Argo talking, he need time to make a plan.

"Haha, well well well, the jock has a brain. Smart guess Percy, but no," Percy could hear the vindictive smile Argo had on his face below that mask, "just because you vibrate at a certain frequency doesn't mean you'll become intangible. That' not how physics works. That's not how anything works."

Argo zoomed forward as Percy moved as the once again began their little race around the park. Percy avoided going towards Picnic Grove, the last thing he wanted was Argo attacking the demigods.

"You see the effect you're looking for is called Quantum tunneling," Argo was right next to Percy as he sent a blast of mana at him knocking the demigod off of his feet. Percy soared through the air and through a tree. Just as he was about to crash into the ground below Argo caught him and held him up by the throat.

Percy groaned, Argo's grip was to strong. Percy tried to grab onto the wrists to snap it off, but he couldn't touch him. It didn't make sense, why couldn't he touch him? He was right now holding onto his throat and squeezing it shut, he should be able to grab him also!

"You see I have the ability to manipulate the quantum probability of my molecules Percy," Prgo said as he brought his free hand up, "that means I can choose which part of my body to turn intangible, and which part ot turn solid. Which means I can do this."

Arog then trusted his vibrating hand into Percy's chest. It passed through the armour as Percy started in horror at Argo's hand that was currently through his chest, "now die Percy Jackson!"

Percy turned himself into gas as Argo's hand burst through the cloud of green and blue mist.

Percy then flew away and reformed away from Argo as he put a single hand up, "BINDING HANDS!"

Blue ribbons exploded out of Percy's hands as they wound themselves around Argo binding him tightly.

Percy bought himself a few extra seconds He allowed his anger to pour through him, his eyes turned red as did Waverider activating the red of rage.

Perk: 'Le Bete' activated! You gained +20 to all stats!

"You think that's going to stop me?!" Argo roared out as he vibrated himself out of the blue ribbons freeing himself. He then moved as a black blur surrounded by lighting as he attacked with all he had.

Percy was getting quicker now, the added bonus his Vit got gave him the Le Bete boost he needed to at least track Argo as he zoomed around Percy.

"You think you know power?!" Argo yelled out as he punched Percy across the face, "you know nothing!"

Percy remained calm, 'I need to make him angrier, make him more cocky.' Percy had a plan, and it just might work to catch Argo with his pants down.

"You are truly a sad creature Argo," Percy sat as he swung Waverider widely hoping to catch the man, "you aren't worth the air you breath."

"Shut up!" the black and blue blur roared out as he increase the speed of his attacks. Percy was being pushed back, but he held on, waiting for the moment for Argo to slip up.

"Your punches are like flies Argo!" Percy roared out, "even if you can hit what's the point?!"

"You want strength?! I'll show you strength!" Argo suddenly speed away from Percy and ran to the far side of the park.

Percy activated his 8.0 Eyesight and located the man easily. He looked like he was going to charge Percy, probably trying to increase the force of his punch by increase the velocity of the hit. This was it, this was what Percy was waiting for.

Argo launched himself forward and Percy tracked his movement with his advanced eyesight. Argo moved straight down the middle as he drew back his fists ready to attack Percy.

'Wait for it,' Percy told himself as he drew back Waveride like a javelin and aimed, 'wait for it.'

Argo was 50 feet away and approaching fast. Percy threw Waverider, which Argo easily dodged. The black speedster reached Percy and threw a punch at his face, "this ends now!"

Argo threw the punch causing a sonic boom to explode outwards. He looked up but saw no one there. Percy had vanished into thin air causing the force of the punch to be wasted as it hit a steel beam in the distance.

"WHERE ARE Y-"

Schink!

Argo stopped mid sentence as he looked down to see the handle of Riptide inside his gut drawing blood. Instead of being right in front of him Percy was now standing to his side. The demigod grunted as he pulled Riptide out and pushed Argo back with a telekinetic push.

Argo stumbled as he held his wound, "h-how? You were right there! I had you in my sights!"

Percy grumbled, "you don't know all my abilities Argo," Percy smiled inside, 'it's a good thing I don't use the Flying Thunder God technique much.'

Flying Thunder God- Allows a short burst of speed that is similar to teleportation. Limit- range of 210 meters.

Percy had finally done it, he had finally used the perk in battle. And since Percy has never used this before Argo had no information about it. He still wasn't sure about it's accuracy, but a 2 feet jump was no big deal. Plus it was a perk, Argo couldn't track perks.

And the only reason Argo was fooled by the short 2 feet jump was because he was being blinded by the Anger of Alecto perk causing him to have tunnel vision. Combo perks for the win!

Percy had done a number on Argo. The mad man quickly tried to get away to heal himself, but Percy was already making his next move.

Percy focused on the water below them, the water in the pipes of the water park. There was enough there to fill a small lake, and Percy intended to use every drop.

All the water in the pipes suddenly exploded outwards and surrounded Argo in the form of a ball. Argo tried to move, but the more he did so the more blood he lost. Percy quickly froze the water ball around the surface, and using the shadows inside the frozen ball he began to strike out at Argo.

Percy kept pushing water like a current towards the center, not allowing Argo to reach the edge of the ice. Since the water wasn't made by mana, simply controlled by it, Haki wouldn't have any effect. Sure It would remove Percy's control of the water, but that would still mean Argo was stuck in the center of a ball of water. Hopefully the fucker would drown.

Since Argo was now occupied Percy got the perfect opportunity to help out the other demigods. He couldn't leave, no, Argo was to dangerous for that, but he could send others in his place.

Percy poured mana into his gem and called forth all his servants, save Alcyoneus, and that included Cerberus.

The normal servants, Zed, Alceto, Craig, Marica, Timmy, all appeared through grey smoke and bowed, "master."

Suddenly a portal of darkness tore through the ground next to Percy as a huge three headed dog jumped out and growled. It spotted Percy and wagged it's tail, "master."

Percy nodded, "everyone listen up, this place in under attack from Gergosas. The demigods are also here, find them, protect them, get them out of camp. Also you won't be able to track them through their scent, you are going to have to go around and find them manually."

"What do you mean we can't track them through their scent?" Alecto asked.

"It's too complicated, now go!" Percy yelled. The servants nodded and moved. Percy then turned to Cerberus, who was also about to leave, "not you Cerberus, I have a special job for you."

"What is it master?" the dog asked.

"You know what a Gergosa is right?" Percy asked the dog who nodded.

"Yes, I can smell them all over this place," Cerberus spoke through the head on the right while the other two growled in disgust.

"Great," Percy grinned, "find them, rip them to shreds. Oh, and don't step on any demigods."

The three headed dog grinned, "with pleasure master."

Percy nodded and the guardian of Hades ran off to find it's first victim. Percy turned his attention back to the ice sphere Argo was stuck in and found that it now had a crack running along its center.

'Well this isn't any good,' Percy told himself as he felt what was going on inside. Argo was spinning around himself. He was moving faster and faster causing all the water inside to spin along with him.

Percy cursed, "shit," he was going to get out, but when he does he will be disoriented from the spinning,lack of air and the blood loss, Percy could work with that.

CRACK!

The ice sphere cracked open and Argo broke free out of his water prison and gasped for breath. He flopped on the ground and took a minute to get his breathing under control. He looked around for Percy but didn't seen him, 'did he run away?'

"Over here!" Percy called out from behind the man.

Argo turned and gasped.

Percy stood a good 50 feet away from Argo and had the entire 'Bootleggers Run' ride held over his head. He had broken off the largest ride in the park, weighing well over 50 tons. Percy's muscles were bulging from the strain of Body Form, the pain was getting to him, but he refused to back down.

"Eat shit Argo!" Percy roared as he swung the monstrously huge ride down ontop of Argo. The mad man tried to move, but his mind began to become cloudy.

He ran for a second before falling down due to severe blood loss and a deoxygenated brain. He turned to see the ride coming down on top of him and cursed, "open the gate!"

Suddenly in a flash of light Argo disappeared causing the ride to crash down onto the ground causing a loud boom that startled everyone.

'He escaped….again,' Percy groaned as he deactivated his Body Form and reapplied his seals. He sat down, arms spread on the ground and started to pant. Argo had been difficult to beat. He was faster, stronger. He had a power Percy never saw before, ever. It vastly outclassed Percy's own speed level.

And then there was the question, 'what happened 2000 years ago that made man lose faith in the Gods?' The first time Percy considered it the rambling of a mad man. But now…..now he wondered if he was wrong. Maybe it was worth checking out, he could probably ask his dad or some other God who owes him a favour or two.

Do you accept?

YES/NO?

Percy groaned, he expected this. He hit yes and got on his feet, there was still work to do. He activated his Speed Demon perk and zoomed across the amusement park looking for people to help.

Percy spotted a few Gergosas that were roaming around that he quickly ran towards. He was just about to kill them with Waverider when a thought came to his mind.

'Can I…..heal them?' Percy wondered. Percy looked the the creature, he recognized one of them, kind of. He looked like the park attendant that gave him and Thalia their ice cream at the beginning of the day. Percy sighed, he should at least try.

So Percy snuck up behind the Gergosa and carefully placed his hand on the thing's legs activating his healing skill;

Ping!

You are attempting to heal somebody with several ailments! Please choose two to heal!

Diabetes

Supernatural mutation: Gergosa serum

Percy grinned as pressed both options. It cost him 300 MP, but that was more than worth it. The Gergosa roared as suddenly steam began to pour out of it in large quantities. The Gergosa turned back into the man Percy saw in the morning, except he was naked.

Percy didn't really have time to worry about the man's nakedness now, he needed to move. He told Cerberus to rip apart any Gergosa it saw, and knowing that dog it probably killed every Gergosa there.

Percy moved, transforming more and more Gergosas into humans as he went along. He had saved 10 humans by the time he found Cerberus, it was about to tear into the neck of one of the Gergosas, Percy knew he had to stop him.

So Percy jumped and gathered his mana. He had been working on this for sometime now, and it was finally the chance to do it.

"Stop!" Percy roared out as he jumped into the path of Cerberus's mouth. He summoned three balls of mana, similar to the one he accidentally created with Mera for the first time, and shoved them into the monster's mouth gagging all three heads at once.

The dog looked confused at Percy's action but made no move to attack its master. The Gergosa, who Percy just saved, had no such inclination. He brought his fist down to try and smash Percy into paste, but the son of Poseidon zoomed out of the way in the last moment and touched the monster in the leg healing it instantly.

Slowly the Gergosa transformed into a petite young woman who Percy remembered worked in one of the rides. He turned to Cerberus and snapped his fingers causing the gags to disappear.

"I found a way to turn the Gergosa's human Cerberus," Percy told his servant, "if you find any of them, don't kill them. Maim them or knock them out, just don't kill them."

The dog nodded, "got it master."

Percy nodded and the two turned and ran away. Percy needed to get to the demigods now, so he made way towards picnic grove.

Percy got there and was surprised to find a wall of water separating the grove from the Gergosas who were trying to get in. Percy used his mana senses and felt the wall in question. It seemed that it was in fact a dome, but it was so big that Percy couldn't even see the top from the ground.

Percy then tried to find out who created the dome and instantly felt Mera's mana mixed in with the water. But the surprising part was how little mana she had left. 'I need to move now.'

Percy zoomed forward and began transforming everyone Gergosa he touched. He started from the outside in. The monsters were to busy trying to break through the wall to notice Percy behind them.

Soon the numbers turned from 30 to 15.

One of the Gergosas noticed Percy, but before he could do anything or say anything Percy turned him human.

Another tired to attack Percy, but the son of Poseidon was to fast as he turned the giant monster human before his fist even hit the ground.

Slowly one by one every single Gergosa turned back into their human counterparts. Percy stood in the middle of the all in front of the water wall. He pressed his hand up against it and sent out a mana wave large enough that Mera would be able to detect it.

Slowly the wal split down the middle and Percy could hear people on the other side.

"What are you doing Mera?!" Percy heard Lee Fletcher cry out.

"It's okay, they are gone," Mera's voice replied in calm tone of voice.

"How do you know that!"

"Because my prince is on the other side."

The wall was fully down and the demigods turned to see a mysterious figure in black armour look at them. Mera stood in front of them all with bag under her eyes. She could barely keep them open.

Suddenly her legs gave out as she fell down. The demigods moved to help her when suddenly the mysterious armoured figure was already at her side.

"Did you take care of the monsters?" Mera asked in an exhausted tone of voice.

Percy nodded as he opened his helmet revealing his face for the first time to the rest of the campers, "I got them. You were amazing Mera, thank you for saving my family."

The mermaid chuckled, "our family my prince. And you don't have to thank me, it was my duty." Percy wanted to say more but Mera fainted in his arms. Percy used his healing powers on her but found she was just exhausted, not infected with anything, so he couldn't help.

"Percy?" Michael asked as he walked up to the demigod who stood up with Mera in his arms.

"Yeah," Percy walked up passing Mera into Michael's arm, "take care of her."

The son of Apollo nodded as he lead Percy into the groove with the rest of the demigods sighing in relief. Percy was here, everything would be alright.

Percy turned to see them all safe, even his servants were all here standing over them all like guardian angels. Percy smiled and nodded at them, and they bowed back.

"Percy!" Percy turned and saw Thalia jump at him. Percy caught her and hugged her tightly. "Thank the Gods you are safe."

Percy nodded, "I'm just glad nothing happened to you."

Percy put Thalia down as the demigoddess kissed him hard. She broke the kiss and looked longly at him, "I thought you went to do something stupid again."

Percy chuckled, "I did."

"Percy where are all the Gergosas?" Clarisse asked as she walked passed him looking at all the nude park workers that were around them.

"I managed to turn them back into humans," Percy told her and be broke away from Thalia, "most of them are unconscious, but I have no idea for how long."

"Wait...those things were human?" Percy turned and saw his mother walking towards him. Percy hugged her tightly, "I'm glad you're safe Percy."

Percy broke the hug, "I'm glad you're safe too mom. And yeah, they were human. Argo, a mad scientist, created a formula that would turn them all into monsters. He must have used it on them before all of this started, I don't know how, but his new powers might have something to do with it."

"Wait….then if the Gergosas were human," Annabeth gasped, "w-we killed so many of them." The gathered demigods looked like they had just been told they were going to die. Many looked down in horror as others simple held on to their friends not knowing what to say.

Percy immediately realised what he had done and wanted to kick himself in the ass for his stupid mistake. They were feeling guilty, and Percy himself was feeling the sting of his actions. The Gergosa who he saved Charles from was probably someone's son.

"Stop it," a firm voice called out drawing the attention of all the demigods there.

They turned and saw Edward walking towards them, "stop feeling sorry for yourself."

"Ed you shouldn't be walking," Sally told the man.

"I'm fine Sally," Ed told the mortal woman as he turned to the demigods, "stop drowning yourself in pity. It's not worth it."

"Ed we killed them!" Nico shouted, "I sliced one of their necks in half and I was happy to do it! I killed someone Ed! How is that not worth it!?"

"Because people die all the time Nico," Edward told him. Percy looked at the man and saw not the fun goofy manchild but a grown adult demigod that had somehow created an empire for himself. Moments like this was rare, Ed was never the serious type, but when he was Percy knew things were about to get serious.

"This is war," Ed continued, "and in war people die. We make sure our own are safe before helping others. People die, we save who we can and move on. There will always be casualties in war, we can't avoid that. And believe me, the war is coming."

The demigods looked at each other for comfort. They looked to their siblings, to their friends, to their allies.

Percy looked at Thalia as they shared a long look. Thalia squeezed his hand and gave him a smile and immediately Percy felt better.

"Alright," Percy said stepping up, "we need to move now. We need to get all the humans and get them to safety. Anyone who can fight stand by, Argo's gone but I don't want to risk anything."

"Wait Argo's back?" Nina asked in surprise, "didn't you bury him alive?"

Percy nodded, "I did, it seems he somehow managed to survive and came back for revenge. I managed to scare him off, but I think it's safe to say he's going to be a problem from now on."

Edward nodded and spoke up, "I'll call Hermes, he needs to look into this. You basically caused an earthquake during your fight with Argo. No way nobody didn't report that in already. This place will be swarming with cops is a few minutes tops."

Percy nodded, "okay, then we leave here as fast as we can. Ed, do you know where the manager's office is?" The son of Hermes nodded, "great, go in there and erase any physical record we were ever here."

Ed nodded and ran away with Nico in tow. Percy then turned to the rest of the demigods, "everyone else get ready to leave. We are going back to the changing rooms and getting our stuff. I'll then carry you all in my inventory back into camp."

Everyone nodded as they moved to help put where they could. Most went to help the injured move while Percy took off to gather the unconscious humans.

As Percy went around the park he found Cerberus sitting down on three Gergosas at once. The dog wagged his tail happy at Percy who quickly turned the monsters back into humans and sent Cerberus back into the underworld.

In the next ten minutes the whole camp was ready to move. Percy had put all the humans in the picnic grove underneath a huge cloth banner for the park. It wasn't much, but at least they won't be naked when the cops show up.

Percy then dismissed his other servants, fortunately he wouldn't need them any more.

Edward had arrived just as everyone was getting ready and with him came Hermes who was dressed in a very big business suit.

"I had Nico Iris call my dad while I took care of the records," Edward told Percy who nodded.

"Hey Hermes, think you can help us out with this one?" Percy asked the god who gave him a hand shake.

"I'll try my best. I'm thinking, 'water park closes down for a day for employees only orgy.' What do you think?"

Percy was surprised while Thalia just looked horrified.

"Ah maybe a little less scandalous," Annabeth told the God, "they already have been turned into monsters, the poor guys deserve a break."

"Plus this is a family park dad," Edward told his father, "they would be ruined."

Hermis rolled his eyes, "obviously I was joking you guys. Of course I wouldn't do that, what type of God do you think I am?"

Lie detected!

The demigods chuckled nervously. Quickly Percy opened his inventory and started tossing all of the demigods into it. There were 147 demigods, not including Edward. Him plus his mother changed that number to 149.

The bus drivers who Ed hired had already had their minds wiped. As far as they knew they were hired by someone who never showed up. That along with Ed erasing the parks records made it so that the camp had never visited the park.

Soon Percy was done as he stood next to Hermes who was overlooking the entire park and taking down notes on his tablet.

"Think you can do something about the fissure in the center of the park?" Percy asked looking at the place where he and Argo fought one on one.

"No, maybe an illusion or something, but for now, no. We can get it fixed in a few days, maybe charm a couple of mortals into closing this place down until we can fix it all."

Percy nodded, "great."

"By the way next time you want to go all out try not to destroy the fucking Earth," Hermes cursed, "this is going to be expensive as hell to fix."

Percy chuckled, "sorry. I couldn't hold back. Argo was…...he somehow knew everything about my powers and how to counter them. And that scared the shit out of me. Plus he had this new power…..I couldn't afford to take him lightly."

Hermes nodded, "do you think you both are equal now?"

Percy shook his head, "no, I'm a bit stronger. After all I did manage to make him run away."

The God nodded, "good. Maybe next time you can kill him."

Percy nodded when suddenly he got a thought. "Hermes….there was something Argo said...something that really got to me."

Hermes closed his pad and looked at Percy. The God had never seen Percy so nervous before, it made the god of messengers nervous also. "Okay, what was it?"

"He first mentioned it before, back on Nassau. I thought it was nothing, the rambling of a soon to be dead guy. But when he came back he was still talking about it, and the way he was talking about…..it was like he was obsessed."

Hermes hummed, "well people like him usually are. Their obsession justifies their actions. But Percy, what exactly did he say? I have never seen you so….shaken."

"It was a question," Percy gulped, "he asked me to ask a God, 'what happened 2000 years ago that caused man to stop believing in the Gods.'"

Percy looked at Hermes who looked like he had just been shot by Zeus's lightning bolt. The Gods eyes widened to near impossible lengths, "w-what?"

"He said-"

"Percy no!" Hermes shut the boy's mouth and looked around as if to see if someone was spying on them.

He looked at Percy dead in the eyes and in a serious tone like Edward's the Gods spoke, "never repeat that question to anyone, got it? Don't ask me, your dad, Artemis, Hades, hell don't even ask anybody who had anything to do with the Olympians that. Don't try to find out the answer, don't even think about looking. This is a secret Percy, one of the most closely guarded secrets in the whole of Olympus. If you even mention it to the wrong God, like Ares, he would have the right to kill you.

"In fact anyone who ever asked that question has been put to death, it is something we never talk about. Since you asked me I am supposed to kill you right now. But I don't want to do that Percy, you are far too valuable and far too much of a nice person. You are important to winning this war, but if Zeus ever finds out you even know the question he will kill you. Do. You. Understand?"

Percy looked at the God and slowly nodded. Hermes sighed in relief and removed his hand from Percy's mouth.

Percy looked at the God, "is it really that bad?"

Hermes nodded, "I'll tell you one thing Percy, it is. It is a secret that should never be exposed, and if Argo knows….oh shit. If he knows then we are all in danger." Hermes looked scared, genuinely scared. He turned to Percy again, "tell me, did Argo seemed like he knew the answer? Did he say anything that gave you that impression?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, he knows the answer alright. He basically rubbed it in my face. I didn't understand why before…..but if it is as important as you say t is..."

"Then Zeus needs to know about it," Hermes told Percy.

"How are you going to explain to him how you found out? Are you going to tell him I know?"

"What?! And be the reason we lose this war?! Hell no! I'll just tell him I was spying on you all when I heard Argo mutter it under his breath or something while you kicked his ass. Don't worry Percy, I'll make sure you stay out of this. This is beyond a demigod's pay grade."

Percy nodded, "okay, if you say so….you will finish up here right?"

Hermes nodded, "I will. Get to camp and get them safe. That's your job right now."

Percy nodded as he pressed his left temple closing his helmet, "see you later lord Hermes."

"Take care Percy Jackson," Hermes nodded to him as Percy vanished in a blur of speed.


A few minutes later;

Percy arrived in camp and stopped in front of the Big House. He opened his inventory and took out the Apollo kids first.

"Alright, half of you get inside and ready the med bay, the rest stay here and carry the injured up," Percy ordered. The Apollo kids nodded and moved without argument. Lee went to the medbay while Michael stayed and helped Percy unload the injured demigods.

After that was done Percy took out everyone else and soon the entire camp was back inside their borders.

Edward had left in his car that he had drove here in while Percy went back to New York to drop his mom back home. After a promise to her to see her again as soon as everything settled down Percy quickly returned back to camp half-blood.

Percy smiled, maybe he should give himself an upgrade later on and maybe even finally clear out all those forges of Hephaestus. But for now he put the two skill disks he received and the map inside his inventory.

He needed to get to the war room, they were all probably in a meeting right now.

War Room;

Percy entered the war room and slid his face plate back sighing in relief. Sure enough all the head counselors along with Chiron were gathered already. Mr. D was missing, but if what Hermes said was right he was probably on Olympus right now talking about Argo.

"Is Sally safe?" Thalia, who along with everyone else had changed out of her swim wear.

"Yeah," Percy told her as he sat down in the Poseidon's cabin seat, "Lowtide."

The moment he said the deactivation phrase Percy's armour finally realised itself as it flowed back into Percy's gauntlet relieving him of the familiar load he had carried for half the afternoon.

"That is so cool," Travis said as he and his brother looked at Percy's gauntlet with stars in their eyes.

"A birthday gift from dad," Percy said removing the gauntlet and putting it in his inventory, "saved my life against Argo."

"Dude put on a shirt," Michael said looking at Percy's bare chest. Percy looked down, he was still in his swimming trunks.

"Or don't," Silena commented as she eyed Percy's abs. Charles glared at his girlfriend behaviour while Percy blushed. He did not want to come between those two.

Percy took out a shirt from his inventory and put it on, "sorry about that." Thalia huffed in disappointment while Silena did nothing at all, not with Charles glaring at her like he did.

"Anyway, not that the free show is done, let's get back to Argo," Annabeth spoke up turning the mood serious, "he's back, and judging by how long you took to deal with him I guessing he's stronger than ever?"

Percy nodded, "yeah. He got this….this speed boost or something. And he had this sort of aura made out of blue lighting, I think the two were related somehow."

"Was he faster than you?" Silena asked.

Percy nodded, "yeah, he was." The campers looked horrified at the implication that Percy just made. If he was faster than Percy there was no telling what the madman could do.

"I have never heard of blue lighting speed based powers," Chiron said with a frown, "I'll check with the Gods but I can make no promises."

"Were you able to take him?" Lee asked.

"Barely," Percy muttered, "he had a way to block all mana based attacks."

"Haki," Thalia supplied, "he was the one you were talking about when we were on the Hubbard Glacier in Alaska."

Percy nodded, "yeah. Anyway I managed to counter him, but his new speed based powers allowed to escape. I almost killed him but he teleported away, probably some kind of spell or something."

"Did it flash a bright light?" Annabeth suddenly asked as she started to flip through several pages of Argo's personal journal.

Percy blinked but nodded, "yeah it did."

"It's called a Space rope," Annabeth said taking out a page and passing the notebook to Percy who picked it up, "it's like a space key accept you can only use it once. On the plus side you don't need a door or anything to use it."

Percy looked at the book and recognized Annabeth's handwriting in the corner of the text. She had translated the paragraph. "Did you finish translating all of it?"

Annabeth shook her head, "no. I barely finished 25%, of the things I can translate, not to mention one's I can't."

"The one's you can't?"

"There are some notes written in a language none of us can identify. We have logged it in and tried to crack it again and again, but so far no luck."

Percy nodded as he looked through the book looking at Annabeth's notes. Suddenly he spotted a chapter labeled '2000 years ago.' She had only translated the heading and nothing else. Percy closed the book and passed it to Annabeth, "meet me after the meeting Annabeth, we need to talk."

The daughter of Athena looked confused but nodded.

"So what now?" Clarisse asked them all.

"Now?" Chiron repeated, "I believe it is time for you all to get some well deserved rest. We don't have anything to go on right now and compared to Kronos Argo is a secondary issue. And as mad as the man is…..we need to focus on what's important."

Everyone nodded in agreement and soon the dispersed. Thalia told Percy she would see him later as Percy meet up with Annabeth in the empty Amphitheater.

"The last time we were here you were going to confront me about keeping the great prophecy away from you," Annabeth noted with a chuckle, "hard to believe that was just three months ago."

Percy smiled, "yeah. So much has changed since them."

Annabeth nodded, "yeah…...so why did you call me here?"

"Show me the book," Percy motioned for Argo's journal which Annabeth gave to him. He turned to the page in question and gave it back to her, "what do you know about this?"

"Why?" Annabeth asked looking at the chapter Percy was talking about, "did Argo say something about it?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, he did."

Annabeth sighed, "of course he mentioned the one topic that is the most complicated to decipher."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "that hard?"

Annabeth nodded, "yeah. He basically wrote it in three languages. Ancient Greek, Egyptian and one I can't even make heads and tails off. And on top of that he wrote the words as an anagram. The Greek stuff was itself difficult to unscramble, never mind the Egyptian and the one I can't even identify."

"I see," Percy groaned, "what did you manage to find out?"

"Three words," Annabeth told him, "Will. War. Destroy."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "war will destroy?"

Annabeth shook her head, "no, will, war, destroy. In that order."

Percy formed, "what could it mean?"

"I have a theory," Annabeth told him, "I think it's a question," she motioned to the book and pointed at three underlined words, "they all appear in the same like and next to it is a question mark. Granted it is an english question mark and could not even be related to the text….but… I don't know. Something feels off about this whole thing."

Percy nodded, "yeah, it does. Listen Annabeth I don't want you to continue solving this topic, got it?"

Annabeth looked surprised, "what? Why?!"

"Because anyone who does will die," Percy wanted her. "Apparently it is a big deal in Olympus. When I asked Hermes he freaked out. He kept looking around trying to see if anyone had overheard me ask him, because technically anyone who even asks about this should be put to death."

"W-what the hades is this thing?" Annabeth looked at the book in her hands and began to shake.

"It's okay Annabeth," Percy told her and he took the book from her, "we'll never mention this, to anyone. Got it?"

Annabeth nodded, "we need to destroy it, now." Percy nodded as he tore off the pages that contained the note about what happened 2000 years ago and put it in his inventory, "don't forget to destroy that."

Percy nodded, "I won't, I promise."

Lie Succeeded!

Annabeth nodded and slowly the two friends walked away in silence.

Dinner that day was a very somber affair. People weren't really in a celebrating mood. Percy was even more angry at Argo now. Today was supposed to be a good day, a day where the demigods could relax and be kids. But even then something had to come in and fuck everything up for them.

Percy walked back to his cabin and saw Leo waiting outside for him. Percy smiled, "Hey boy."

"Bad day master?" Leo asked looking at Percy sadly.

"Kind of," Percy said sitting next to Leo on the porch, "how was your day?"

"I meet a Nymph today," Leo said wagging his tail, "she was really pretty."

Percy chuckled, "I'm sure she was. So, you coming inside?"

Leo shook his head, "no master. I want to….well if you don't want me to that's fine but-"

"Leo," Percy cut off the dog's rambling, "just tell me what you want."

Leo turned to the Forest, "I want to sleep in there tonight monster. There is something….familiar about it."

Percy smiled as he scratched under the dog's ears, "okay then. It makes sense, you are a wolf after all."

Leo barked in happiness as he got up and licked Percy's face, "thank you master!" Leo then jumped forward and ran towards the forest as fast a he could. Percy chuckled, the dog was growing up so fast. Maybe he should take him training later on, teach him a few more moves.

Percy walked into his cabin and closed the door behind him. He took out the pages he had ripped out of Argo's personal journal. He didn't want Annabeth getting involved with all of this, but that didn't mean he was going to stop.

Percy looked over the notes and sighed, if Annabeth couldn't' do it then he had no chance, obviously. If only he knew someone who…..Parallax.

Percy put the notes inside his inventory and pulled out the orb of Parallax. Fear hit him like a wave but Percy was ready for it. He pushed back and took a deep breath to ready himself. He need to frame and speak his question clearly, he wasn't going to waste this question.

"Parallax, it's me Percy. I have a question for you."

It took a minute but the entity of fear responded, "ask your question and I will answer."

Percy sighed in relief. He took a deep breath and spoke again, "what happened 2000 years ago that caused man to stop believing in God?"

Percy waited and waited as he held onto the glowing yellow ball. Suddenly Parallax spoke again, "I am not allowed to answer your question."

Percy blinked, "what? Why?!"

"Is that your next question?"

Percy shook his head, "no….thanks." Percy shoved the orb into his inventory and sighed. He didn't know why Parallax didn't want to tell him. Was because he didn't know? No...he is an entity of the Universe, he had to know! So…..why? Was because he wasn't allowed to tell him? If so by who?

The answer came clearly to Percy, 'The Fates.'

Argo kept pushing the idea of Percy being their slaves….maybe in someway he was. But he never minded working for them, after all they both wanted the same thing. But now….they were trying to limit his sight. Keep things from him, true it might be dangerous things, but he needed to know, he deserved to know.

Percy sighed lying down on his bed. He was still in his swimming trunks and his spare shirt, but Percy really wasn't in the mode to change.

'Hmm, maybe I should use that skill disk,' Percy decided, after all who didn't like leveling up their skills right?

Percy took out one level 10 skill disk and began looking over the skills he had.

'Water control? Nope. Ice? No. Shadow? No. Mana…...nah, too dangerous to suddenly level up in. I am barely getting by as it is right now. Last thing I need is it going places I can't follow. Obsering? No. Critical strike? No. Mana's sense...hmm no. I am probably going to level that up myself.'

Percy threw his head back in frustration, all of these were things he could ether level up himself or to dangerous to level up at all. If he leveled up something like ice control, it would take him weeks to get his powers under control. And seeing how anyone can attack any time Percy always needed to be in control.

Slowly Percy went down the list and his eyes fell on healing, Percy shrugged, 'might as well.'

Percy used the skill disk;

Ping!

A skill has risen by 10 levels!

Healing, Lv- 23 (0%)

Allows the user to heal any disease or ailments threatening himself or others.

Limit- 3 aliments per use, 5 targets at a time, restores 25% of MP and HP

Cost- 250 MP

Percy blinked at the new additions he got. Apart from the 50 MP lesser cost and the increase in the amount of people he can heal at once there was also a new effect of his healing powers. It restored HP and MP by 25%. That may not be much looking at it now, but in battle that could mean the difference between life and death.

Percy closed the box and took out the second skill disk. He knew logically he should use it to level up Healing again…..but he honestly didn't want to.

The way Percy saw it was that Healing was a skill he absolutely needed, something that reminded him that yes, he was in fact in a war. He never really got to use the skill disk for something fun, like not because he had to, but because he wanted to.

Before he wanted to improve his telekinesis with a skill disk, but he chose healing instead because he had to. But now…..after all of this Percy felt like he had the right to spend the disk on anything he wanted. Plus it was his birthday, so fuck it.

Percy looked through the skill list again, this time for skills that he wouldn't usually consider. There was lots of skills he could improve on. Like dancing, singing, around four different musical instruments he could practice. Cooking, Architecture, his Alcohol resistance and maybe he should even spend the disk on telekinesis, that would be so cool! Maybe the next time Argo attack he could throw a bus at him or something!

But just then Percy noticed a skill that he got a month back during his trip to Alaska, Foreplay. And the other skill he gained via photographic reflexes, sex. Thank you Sasha Grey.

Percy blushed at the idea of using a skill disk to be better at sex or foreplay. He was a teenage boy and no matter how confident he was about his fighting skills or how great his skills in the bed where, he is always going to be worried about things that involved sex.

True he and Thalia didn't really, you know, do it. But he wanted to be good for when they do do it. And even though he technically does have the moves of a male porn star he still wondered whether that was enough.

Percy spun the disk in his hand wondering what he should level up. Sex was out of the question, Thalia wasn't ready for that and he wouldn't push it. But foreplay….well they have been doing a lot of that lately.

Percy felt a blush creep on his face as he used the skill disk to level up foreplay. He could have picked fingering in particular, but foreplay gave a general bonus that Percy really wanted;

Ping!

A skill have been raised by several levels!

Foreplay, Lv- 12 (0%)

The actions you perform before sex.

60% skill bonus towards partner's orgasm.

Percy smiled at the bonus, this plus the 40% bonus he would receive when using his vibrations would guarantee Thalia came. Percy giggled sheepishly, 'boy is she going to be in for a surprise the next time we make out.'

Percy closed the boxes and laid back down on his pillow looking at his cabin roof. Percy relaxed as he slowly closed his eyes.

Knock knock!

Percy blinked them open as someone knocked on his door. 'I wonder who it is? Well maybe it's Thalia, this is usually when she would sneak over to my cabin.'

Percy quickly got off his bed and went to is door which he threw open with a grin, "well hello beautiful, I-"

Percy stopped mid sentence as he looked into two silver globes that stared back at him. Artemis stood there with a gentle smile with her hair tied back in ponytail, "I didn't realise you felt that way about me Percy. I'm touched, though your girlfriend might have a few things to say about that."

"A-Artemis?" Percy asked looking at the Goddess.

"Yes...why? Were you expecting someone else?"

Percy recognized the tone in her voice and gulped, "ah, no, no, it's just," 'quick Percy think of something!' "I thought there was a meeting in Olympus or something." 'Safe!'

Artemis nodded, "it got over. Now, are you going to invite me in?"

Percy blinked, "what? Oh, right sorry. Please come in!" Percy stepped aside letting Artemis inside while he closed the door behind her. "So ah...what's the matter?"

"Does something have to be the matter for me to visit a friend?" Artemis asked as she sat down on Percy's bed bouncing up and down, "your bed is very comfortable Percy."

Percy smiled, "thanks Arty, and no, friends can visit friends any time. But if one of those friends happens to be a Goddess and it also happened to be the other one's birthday...well you see where I am going with this."

Artemis smiled "you want a gift?"

Percy shrugged, "can't possibly imagine you're here for any other reason," 'unless it's to take me back to Olympus for knowing about the question…..shit, is it because of that? Artemis knows I would run if she came in guns blazing so did she-'

"-Relax Percy," Artemis spoke up, "I'm not here hurt you or anything."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "did you read my mind?"

Artemis chuckled, "no, I can't do that. But your fears were clearly written on your face."

Percy smiled, "okay face reader if you aren't here to arrest me and it's not to give me a gift, then why are you here?"

Artemis smiled as she snapped her fingers causing a silver box to appear in her hand. "Here, for you."

"You did get me a present!" Percy exclaimed as he carefully opened the gift.

Artemis smiled, "why are you being so gentle about it?"

"Because if I don't like it I can just return it to you for your birthday."

Artemis huffed, "are you saying I cannot select a good gift."

"No, I'm saying that you don't have very many guy friends, meaning you probably don't know what to get them."

Artemis huffed, "well now you're just being rude Percy. And for your information we Gods don't have birthdays, so ha!"

Percy blinked, "wait, for real? You guys don't have birthdays?"

Artemis shrugged, "well we do, but we don't really remember them. 3000 years is a long time you know."

Percy chuckled as he carefully removed the ribbon opening the silver box. Inside was a simple silver ring that glowed white. Percy gasped as he looked at it.

"A-Artemis, it's beautiful." Percy reached in and took the ring. He carefully put it on his right middle finger and saw that it was a perfect fit.

Ring of Artemis,

Can contact Artemis anytime

"It's made out of normal silver but I blessed it with a little bit of my magic," Artemis said smugly, "now if you are ever in danger or need my help just touch the ring and focus on me and I'll be able to talk to you. It's kind of like an instant Iris message but it's only-OPH!"

Percy hugged her so hard Artemis got the wind knocked out of her. "Thank you," Percy told her as he hugged her tightly, "it's awesome."

Artemis smiled as she hugged him back. They broke the hug and Percy sat down next to her admiring his gift, "you sure you don't want to gift it back?"

"Not on your life," Percy told her as he grinned like the cheshire cat, "this is so cool. And not at all girly, I'm proud of you Arty! You have now mastered the craft of buying jewelry for guys, a difficult and rarely sought after skill set."

Artemis smiled, "yes well I figured something like a wolf pet or an arrow head wouldn't be well received, so I thought, 'what would an idiot think is great?' And presto, a shiny object that captures the attention of small minded men."

Percy smiled, "oh look at you, insulting me. Why if you were a little better I might consider insulting you back," Percy patted her on the head as Artemis grumbled, "don't try to play with the masters kido, you'll only get burned."

Artemis crossed her arms, "you sound so much like Apollo."

Percy blushed, "yuck. Never mind then, insult me all you want I won't say a thing. Just don't compare me to that gross brother of yours."

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "you know I never did find out why you two hate each other. When I finally managed to find him he had this huge scowl on his face. He looked like he wanted to blow Olympus up."

Percy shrugged, "did he have a bruise?"

Artemis thought about it before nodding, "yeah, he did. Like a big one around his jaw. Stayed there for a day or so."

Percy grinned, "good." Artemis raised an eyebrow but remained silent. Percy sighed, "I am extremely possessive when it comes to Thalia. He was flirting with her and then implied he would also like to sleep with her, so I punched him out of Olympus."

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "well…...that's certain informative. If you ever need help punishing my brother just call. And I promise next time I see him I'll be sure to give him a new black eye."

Percy chuckled, "has he done this a lot?"

Artemis groaned, "more than you can imagine. It's like nobody is off limits to him, wife, girlfriend, husband, doesn't matter. He's like a bunny on viagra."

Percy chuckled, "then the only way for anyone to be sure Apollo won't flirt with their girlfriend would be if that girlfriend was you huh?"

Artemis blushed gold, "w-what?"

Percy grinned, "yeah, Apollo would never flirt with you, your his actual sister. Even Thalia isn't off limits to him and she's his half sister. The only one he would never flirt with or try to sleep with would be you."

Artemis blushed harder a she tried and failed to keep her golden hue down, "w-well I mean yes, but I would never-get a boyfriend, that's just ridiculous!"

Percy shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe now that you know boys aren't that bad to have as a friend you might eventually find the right guy in the future. Why did you become a virgin Goddess anyway?"

Artemis sighed, "well it's along story. Men back then were…..unkind to say the least. They are alright now, you could be considered one of the good ones, if you weren't so annoying. But after you do something for 3000 years it kind of gets hard to break out of it."

"Would you say you are currently looking for a boyfriend?" Percy asked with a smirk.

"W-what?! No!"

"Why not? It would be cute, you and your prince charming with me and Thalia, we could go on so many double dates."

Artemis blushed as she looked away, "s-shut up."

Percy smiled as he ruffled the girl's hair, "yeah yeah. You are so easy to embarrass."

Artemis growled, "I know, I try to not be but apparently being with idiots like you makes me immune."

Percy grinned, "glad to know I make you weak."

"And why is that a good thing?" Artemis snapped back.

"Because that means you trust me enough to drop your defenses," Percy smiled, "usually that's the first things people do when they are friends with someone, but I think you can be an exception to that."

Artemis blush slowly went away as a happy smile came up, "well, yes. I do trust you. You're very….easy to be around."

Percy nodded, "so I've been told."

Artemis smiled, "I'm slightly jealous of Thalia. She gets you all the time while I rarely get any time to spend with you."

"Maybe I can come to your Hunters camp or something," Percy said with a chuckle, "maybe take on the role of a Handyman or something."

"Hmm, like a guardian?" Artemis asked, "your task would be to protect us while we slept and help us against dangerous animals."

Percy grin grew wider, "sound's awesome, do I get special benefits?"

"Well you get to see me every day, isn't that a benefit?"

Percy shrugged, "I can live with that. So, where do I sign up?"

Artemis laughed, "I'll admit it is a good idea on paper Percy, but one step into the Hunter's camp and you will become a pincushion. Just because I like you doesn't mean the rest of the Hunters will. Some….some have really suffered at the hands of men."

Percy smiled, he recognized the hurt tone of voice Artemis used. He quickly changed to topic, " so maybe we should set up a time to always meet up. You know like that time on Odysseus ship, just before dawn but after the night. You call me through this awesome ring that you gave me," Percy flashed it again, "and I'll show up."

Artemis nodded, "that would be nice. How about….every alternate Sunday of every month, we meet up at the beach or somewhere and we can...hang out."

Percy smiled, "that would be nice Arty. I look forward to it."

Artemis smiled, "great, see you then," she then stood up and slowly started to glow brighter and brighter, "and don't call me Arty!"

Percy blinked his eyes open as Artemis teleported away. He chuckled, 'guess I'm going to have to call her that more often.'

Knock knock!

Percy stood up surprised at that, 'did she forget something?' Percy wondered as he went to the door and opened it. Instead of Artemis he saw Thalia standing there with a bag under her arm.

"Hey you," Percy said kissing Thalia deeply, "had a feeling I was going to see you soon."

Thalia chuckled, "it's your birthday Percy, you really think I wouldn't have shown up?"

Percy smiled, "as if you wouldn't be here if it wasn't my birthday."

Thalia chuckled, "true," Percy stepped to the side allowing Thalia to wake in and lie down on the bed. Thalia took a deep breath was was surprised as what she smelt, "why does your bed smell like pine and vanilla?"

Percy smiled "Artemis was in here a few seconds ago, wanted to wish me a happy birthday," Percy said showing Thalia his new ring, "gave this to me."

"Damn Percy, I thought I was the one who was supposed to be obsessed over jewelry."

"Oh shut up," Percy said getting on the bed pushing Thalia down kissing her deeply.

"Percy," Thalia broke the kiss, "what exactly is your….relationship with Artemis."

Percy smiled, "do you really think me and the Goddess of virginity are anything more than friends?"

Thalia blushed, "well I know but I mean if you thought she was better than me I wou-"

"-Thalia," Percy cut her off.

"Yeah?" the daughter of Zeus looked at him with pleading eyes. The kind Percy had seen before, he knew exactly what to say.

"I love you, and no one less," Percy told her as he kissed her forehead, "I would never cheat on you," he kissed her lips, "I would never even consider it," he kissed her neck, "I love you too much."

"I'm sorry Percy," Thalia whispered, "I just-"

"-It's okay," Percy wrapped his hand around her hips, "I know. I love you Thalia."

"I love you Percy," Thalia said kissing him hard on the lips, "and I don't care who has her eyes set on you. If she wants to get to you she will have to get through me."

Percy chuckled, "I don't really thinks that's necessary-"

"-No, it is," Thalia looked into his eyes, "you mean everything to me Percy. I would rather die than lose you."

Percy looked saddened as he spoke, "if you want I won't see Artemis again. If that's what has you worried. I'm sure she would understand."

"No Percy don't be silly," Thalia laughed, "I know you are the only friend Artemis has. I would never rob someone of you."

"I'm honored you think so highly of me," Percy said with a shit eating grin.

"Ass," Thalia smacked his shoulder lightly, "but I mean it Percy. She's just like me, she needs a friend and besides, I doubt the Goddess of virginity wants to date you. Kind of not her thing."

"Are you saying I'm unattractive?" Percy asked with a frown, "because I kind of feel like you are."

Thalia chuckled, "yes Percy, you are very ugly. In fact you have a face only I can love, so you don't really have much options on who to date."

Percy smiled as he bent down, "good," he whispered into her ear, "because I don't want any other options."

Thalia smiled as she bite into his ear as he kissed her neck giving her several hickies along her neck. Slowly Percy went lower and lower as he kissed her collarbone as his slowly slid one arm under her shirt.

"Wait," Thalia called out, "I want to do something first."

Percy nodded as he stepped back. Thalia immediately went to the cover she brought with her and pulled out a black and blue leather jacket. Percy looked at it in wonder as Thalia handed it to him.

The jacket was black with a trident stitched right in the center so that the zip would pass through the middle prong. The sides were grey and made out of a stretchable material while blue lines made it seem more streamlined. Over all it reminded Percy of Thalia and the way her hair looked.

"It's to replace the one you lost in Alaska," Thalia told him as she sat down besides him, "I kind of guilted my dad into making this for me the last time he visited."

Percy looked at her, "Zeus came to visit you?"

Thalia nodded, "yeah, a couple of weeks ago."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know," Thalia shrugged, "kind of wanted to figure out how I get on my own you know? Do some soul searching."

Percy nodded as he squeezed her hand tightly, "I get it Thalia. So...what did he want?"

"To talk," Thalia sighed, "he wanted to be my dad I guess. But that's not really important. I managed to guilt him into charming this jacket with a few features I thought up. Go on, Observe it."

And Percy did just that;

Percy's jacket,

A leather jacket which had been blessed by Zeus

Durability- 400/400

Resistant to weather modulations

Self repair

Water/ Fire resistant

+ 200 defence against magical attacks

Percy's jaw was on the floor at everything he read, "Thalia this is….this is amazing."

The girl blushed, "thanks. I just wanted something to show you how-" Percy didn't let her finish as he smashed his lips against hers cutting the daughter of Zeus mid sentence. Percy floated the jacket to the table with his mind and did the same for the silver ring Artemis gave him.

Percy finally stopped as he looked into her eyes, "Thalia you gave me an amazing gift today."

"Percy I know the jacket is cool and all but-"

"-No," Percy shook his head, "I don't' mean the jacket. I mean the trip to the water park. You gave me something I didn't even realise I needed. You made me happy Thalia Grace in a way I would have never allowed myself to be."

Thalia sighed, "yeah….but it was ruined thanks to Argo."

Percy shook his head, "no, it wasn't. He doesn't matter Thalia, he is barely a bug in the windshield of our life. All I care about is what you did for me. You make my life perfect Thalia, you're the ying to my yang, you make me…..you make me happy."

Thalia smiled at Percy as she grabbed his head and brought his down to a deep kiss. She grabbed his shirt and pulled it up throwing it to the side. Percy kissed Thalia's neck as she moaned in approval.

He grabbed her jacket and took it off her throwing it to the table. Thalia then grabbed her shirt helm and pulled it over her head revealing a very sexy blue lingerie that Percy remembered seeing in the mall at Victoria's secret.

"Did you get that when we went to the mall?" Percy asked marveling at how amazing she looked. The bra teased her breasts through the seethrough fabric while pushing her breasts closer.

"Yeah," Thalia muttered as Percy kissed her nipple through her bra, "I got it when you were distracted at Best Buy."

"Well I'm glad I was," Percy said as he kissed Thalia slowly bringing his hand over her jeans rubbing her clit over it.

Thalia moaned into the kiss as she wrapped her hands around his neck and moaned more and more as Percy started to rub her faster and faster. Thalia could feel her climax coming already when Percy suddenly stopped.

Thalia broke the kissed, "why did you stop," she asked in a begging tone.

"Because I want to make this special," Percy told her as he kissed her neck before slowly going downwards. He kissed her tits and slowly ran his tongue down her abd. He reached her jeans as pressed his mouth on the button, with a flick of his tongue he had it unbuttoned.

Percy dug his fingers around the loops of her jeans and slowly pulled it down her fat tighs. Percy threw the jeans to the side as he ran his hands up and down Thalia's legs. They were shaking as Percy ran his fingers towards the inner thighs.

Percy kissed one of her legs as he pushed it open, slowly tracing kiss from her knee to her halfway to her core. Percy could feel the heat of her skin of his lips, he could smell her already.

He then turned to the other leg doing them same to it. Percy slid both of his hands underneath Khali's legs and held apart. Percy kissed her inner thigh again, this time he bite into it long enough to form a hickey.

Thalia's legs started to spasm all over due to Percy's constant teasing, but Percy pushed forward using his shoulders to lock the legs in place. Percy squeezed his palms and slapped them on Thalia's perky ass causing it vibrate in his grip.

"Percy" Thalia begged, "stop teasing."

Percy smiled as he looked up to see her desperate face. Thalia was holding her hand to her face, too embarrassed to even look at what Percy was doing.

"No," Percy told her gently as he moved her arms away from her facing using telekinetic powers, "I want you to look."

Thalia's face was red, her eyes were hazy with lust and focused immediately on Percy's own. She slowly stopped resisting and put her arms to the side as Percy smiled, "good girl."

Percy bent down and looked at Thalia's soaking wet panties. They were blue, just like her bra. Percy reached up and caught the band in his mouth. He slowly let go of Thalia's legs allowing her to bring them close as he slowly brought the panties down with his mouth.

Once they were off Thalia didn't want to open her legs again, she was to embarrassed. Percy smile, and kissed her thighs again. He slowly traced his hand along her inner thighs and pushed her legs to the side again showing Percy what he wanted to see.

Thalia had no hair down here, ever since they started doing them she had been taking care of herself, something Percy also did. Her lips down below were so thin and pink, Percy doubted he would even fit in there.

Percy locked her legs over his shoulder as Percy slowly brought his head closer. He took a deep breath and recognized the smell immediately as Thalia's. He had spent so much time with her, he was sure it was on him as well.

Percy extended his tongue and slowly licked her entrance. An explosion of taste rocketed into his mouth as he recognized the taste of salty strawberries.

Percy pressed closer as he began to dig deeper and deeper into her core with every sweep of his tongue. Percy relied only on his instinct and the power of his gaming abilities as he traced the tip of his tongue up and down.

Percy then found Thalia's entrance and slowly stuck his tongue inside.

"Fuck!" Thalia gasped as her hands went to Percy's hair grabbing it and pressing it deeper between her legs.

Percy smiled as he began to stretch out his tongue licking every corner he could reach. He slowly began to increase his pace as he felt more and more of her moist flesh on his tongue.

Percy squeezed Thalia's ass and pulled her closer allowing his tongue further reach. Slowly instincts began to take over as Percy ran his tongue along her tunnel rubbing against it.

Percy then felt something at the very tip of his tongue a rough patch of flesh that seemed to stand out. The moment his tongue touched it Thalia gasped as she bent her body upwards in surprise.

'Found it,' Percy grinned to himself as he found her G-spot. It was at the very edge of his reach, but Percy refused to stop as he kept digging into her flesh sending wave after wave of pleasure through Thalia's body.

Percy suddenly got an idea as he began to channel some of his earthquake mana into his tongue causing it to vibrate.

Thalia moaned as Percy began to eat her out, but the moment his vibration tongue touched her G-Spot Thalia shrieked in surprise as her legs started to shake violently. Percy didn't let go though as he grabbed onto her thick thighs with both hands and began to hit her G-Spot again and again.

Ping!

"Percy!" Thalia yelled out, "don't stop! For the love of the Gods don't stop!" Thalia's finger dug into Percy's hair as she pushed him deeper between her legs. Thalia then crossed her legs over Percy's head locking it in place as Percy found himself stuffed between her thick thighs.

Percy hit her G-Spot again and again as his vibrating tongue cause Thalia to spasm over and over again. Percy could even feel her walls tightening around his tongue as slowly they built up to her orgasm.

Percy shot his tongue out and finally hit the G-Spot right in the center. He then wiggled the tip of his tongue over and over again causing Thalia's spasms to slowly increase in time.

"PERCY!" Thalia suddenly screamed as her core erupted in her cum flooding Percy's mouth. Percy slowly removed his tongue out of her, very slowly. Thalia felt it slowly draw out as she uncrossed her legs over Percy's face.

Percy removed his head from between Thalia's legs as he licked his wet lips, she had gotten everywhere. Her orgasm had been so extreme that she had covered the entire of Percy's lower face. Percy licked the juices up with his tongue, "you taste nice Thalia."

The demigoddess in question had one hand on her head while another was on her stomach. She was panting as sweat covered her entire body from head to toe. Her legs were weak as she lazily took them off of Percy's shoulder and placed them on the side. "How did you learn to do that?"

"Photographic reflexes," Percy told her with a grin.

"What else did you learn?" Thalia asked with a grin.

Percy smiled, "nothing useful."

"Well, I guess it's my turn," Thalia said with a smile as she got up and pushed Percy down. She sat on his abdomen letting her juice flow over his stomach. She reached behind and took off her bra throwing it to the side.

Percy looked at them and grinned. He rubbed his fingers over her nipples sending mild vibrations through them.

"Stop," Thalia moaned as she slowly got turned on again, "I'm supposed to be turning you one."

"Well then you're going to have to work for it," Percy told her as he lowered one hand to her pink lips before rubbing it. He quickly found the clitoris and sent a wave of vibration through it.

"N-not fair," Thalia said as she gasped in excitement, "you shouldn't be allowed to use powers."

Percy grinned, "all's fair in love and war."

Thalia moaned as Percy grabbed her ass with his other hand smacking it hard causing her ass to ripple. Thalia slowly moved down as she began to trail kisses down' Percy's body.

She was now right below Percy's dick, she could see it bulging in his pants just waiting to spring out. Thalia reached slowly dug her fingers into the elastic and pulled the trunks down in one swoop releasing Percy's dick causing it to swing out and slap her in the face.

Thalia removed Percy's pants as she looked on the underside of his dick. It was so thick and veiny, it's top was a darker shade than the rest as Thalia licked her lips in anticipation.

"It looks bigger," Thalia commented as she smelt his scent, so acidic, so raw. Thalia could feel her cunt throb, it was still coming down from it's orgasm, and was very sensitive.

"I think Goblin's Growth is a-affecting it," Percy stammered as he felt her breath on the underside of his dick, "b-but I'm not sure."

Thalia nodded as she slowly wrapped her right hand around it getting a good grip on him. Thalia gulped as she slowly extended her tongue and began to lick it from the bottom up.

Percy shuddered feeling the way Thalia's tongue went up his members. Slowly Thalia began to jerk him off with her hand, going faster and faster. Percy felt himself twitch in her grip, he wanted more, he needed more.

Thalia slowly brought her mouth above his tip and slowly reached out with her tongue. She licked the very tip sending a shiver down Percy's body. Thalia tasted something salty, like the kind you find in salted butter. It was so creamy that Thalia could feel it down passed her tongue and into her throat.

Percy groaned feeling Thalia lick his precum. He wanted to grab her head and shove it down his dick, but he didn't want to choke her. Suddenly Thalia closed her mouth over his dick as she sucked on the head.

Thalia slowly bobbed her head up and down as she removed her hand from his dick placing it on his thick thighs for support. She then slammed her throat down on his dick swallowing half of it in one go.

Percy felt her warm mouth on him as he began to trust his hips in and out of her wet entrance. Thalia then pulled back slurping her saliva off of Percy's dick leaving on the head inside as she bobbed her head up and down licking the very tip.

She then mashed her lips on his dick keeping her teeth away from the meat as she covered him with her drool. She then showed her head down embedding her throat on his twitching member.

"Fuck Thalia!" Percy yelled out in excitement as his hand automatically went to her head. He reached around her head and grabbed it. He began to guide her up and down as Thalia licked him whole.

Drool flowed down his shaft and gathered around his balls as Thalia began to swallow him deeper and deeper. She then tried to swallow him whole when suddenly she found him hitting the back of her throat.

Thalia gagged as she let go of his shaft with a loud pop. He lips were covered in saliva as she slurped it into her mouth.

"Goddamn," Percy growled as Thalia began to jerk him off with her hands. Percy's rod was wet from her spit, the sound of her beating his wet meat was like music to his ears.

Thalia felt him twitch in her hands as she immediately swallowed him again, this time Percy's musk sent through her nose and into her brains. She could think of nothing else except how he smelt, how he tasted.

Thalia drew back her head when suddenly Percy thrusted his hips up to meet her mouth. Thalia was surprised as she tried to move when Percy started to fuck her mouth with his dick thrusting faster and faster.

More and more droll gathered along his shaft as Percy slowly increased his pace. He felt the tip of his dick hit the back of her mouth.

Thalia slowly started to embrace this feeling, she loved the feeling of Percy filling her mouth as his musk and precum dominated her senses. She then finally pulled away keeping only his head in her mouth a she began to dig into his opening with her tongue.

"Shit!" Percy cried out as he felt Thalia lick his hole. He could feel her trying to shove it inside and felt his climax slowly approaching.

"Thalia I'm going to cum!" Percy yelled out. Instead of removing her head Thalia simply continued by shoving him down her throat again. Percy felt himself twitch as Thalia began to massage her balls with her free hand.

She then pulled off of Percy's dick and licked his shaft slowly licking from the bottom to the top. She used her free hand to grip his head and jerk him off faster and faster.

Percy felt his cum slowly travel up his erect rod and explode out in a burst of white. Thalia's hand and hair were covered in it as some dripped down the shaft or onto her face.

Thalia licked the cum on Percy's dick cleaning him fully with her tongue. She then brought her hand to her mouth and began licking it clean. Percy twitched at the sight as Thalia closed her eyes in excitement. She slurped all of his sperm into mouth swallowing him like he had swallowed her.

"Delicious," Thalia muttered as she closed her mouth around his head. She then began to suck out all of the sperm that was still inside. When she was done Thalia began to lick Percy clean before giving one last jerk to see if any was left.

"That was amazing," Percy said through bated breath as Thalia placed her head on his open arms.

"You taste like salted butter," Thalia said as she dug into Percy's side.

"Well you taste like salty strawberries," Percy told her as he quickly used his water control to remove all the leftover sperm on Thalia's person. "Where did you learn to do that?"

"I practised on a cucumber. Plus Annabeth let me borrow a few books."

"Damn, it's always the quiet ones," Percy looked down and saw Thalia still playing with his limp member, "you do realise if you continue doing that I'm going to get hard again yeah?"

"Oh please," Thalia rolled her eyes, "I know your limits Percy. You might be amazing at everything but you are still a human. You can't-" Thalia paused mid sentence as she felt Percy's dick slowly harden in her hand. Before long it stood fully at mast.

"You of all people should know not to underestimate me Thalia," Percy growled into her ears sending a shiver through the girl. Percy reached behind her and grabbed her ass spanking it hard. "Now you've gone and made it hard again. What exactly do you plan to do about this?"

Thalia grinned, "we aren't going to get any sleep tonight are we?"

Percy grinned, "hell no."


Back in the Water park;

A harsh wind blew past the water park ruffling the blue hair of a woman who stood in the middle of the damage park. She looked down at the fissure created in the middle of the park, "he really needs to learn some control."

"You're telling me," The Collector grumbled as he walked over the rubble dirtying his fine pants.

"Oh don't sound so grumpy bro," the woman smiled looking around at all the damage, "you need get used to moving on your feet again."

"Bro? You haven't called me that in years."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Well for me, yes," the Collector looked around at the damage caused and sighed, "you know when you told me this park was going to be a solid investment when I bought it I thought you meant something along the lines of profit or even because this place was important or something."

"This place is important brother of mine," the blue haired woman smiled as she traced her sulphuric eyes along the ground looking for something, "this is where it will all begins."

"I just wish he didn't have to wreck the place," The Collector grumbled kicking away a metal pipe, "he's like a fuckign wrecking ball."

"Yes well….there," the woman pointed with her sulphuric eyes narrowed. The Collector walked up to her and looked at what she was pointing at. It was a stain of blood on the exact spot Argo was before he disappeared.

"How do you know it's his blood?" The Collector asked as he approached it.

"Because I can feel his energy rolling off it," the woman commented as the Collector took out a blunt syringe and started to suck out the blood and pour it into a crystal bottle. Once all of it was gathered the man shock the blood causing blue lighting to flow around the container.

"It looks like it reacts to kinetic energy," The Collector spoke as he showed the vial to the woman who nodded.

"That's it," she glared at the blood but never touched it, "even now after being away from it's host for so long it still contains so much power. Argo really does have no idea what he did to himself."

"And you think we might find out?" the red eyed man asked as he put the vial away for later observation.

"I think we don't have a choice," the woman spoke as she looked up at the sky, "this was the beginning. In a few months time it will end. Percy needs all the help we can give him. He may have the powers of a videogame given to him by the Fates themselves, but he still need our help."

The Collector nodded, "I'm with you all the way sister."

The woman smiled, "thank you brother."

"By the way out of curiosity what exactly is our hero doing right now?" The Collector asked as the two slowly walked out of the park leaving no evidence of their presence behind.

"Right now? Well he's currently making his girlfriend scream his name out loud. Believe me, her throat is going to be sore in the morning."


Sorry I was a little late. You wouldn't believe the week end I have been having. Usually I write my chapters every Sunday and post them at night. But this weekend I lost the current supply to my house, something got burnt, had to be replaced. And when I did get power back I found out that my modem had been burnt out.

So I had to go to an internet cafe, spend the entire day in that small tiny humid room and write all of this. I hope you all appreciate this.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the fight scene, I had to rewrite that a couple of times. Also I went a little deeper in the smut, but please don't expect this often, it'll be a rare thing. Also no, they didn't have sex.

NOTE: Next Week's chapter is a question mark, I will not be in town or next to a computer for sometime, I'll see if I can write the chapter up this week and post it before the weekend, but no promises.

Note 2: I just realized that right now this story is ranked number 4 out of all of the other PJ fanfics, I thank you all so much for allowing this story to rise to such high levels. Also wow, number four...hm...Am I supposed to gain some kind of bonus now or something? Like:

Ping!

You have ranked fourth! New Title!
