AN: The Transformers are here! Behold!
Time: An hour later
Percy, or rather, Hot Rod, was racing at breakneck speed, along a dusty road. Inside the black and orange Lamborghini, Artemis and Thalia were clutching their seat belts in fright, and pressing back against their seats.
Artemis really regretted sitting in the driver's seat. Her instincts screamed at her to hit the brake, and grip the steering wheel. However, she trusted Percy, and let him do whatever he wanted.
When they had driven off Olympus, and were about to hit the ground, an enormous blue-green swirling portal had opened up, and engulfed all the cars raining from the sky. Now, all those cars, beasts, and planes were following Percy, as he sped along the desolate road, desperately trying to catch up, but in vain.
Artemis could faintly see a cliff face looming over, in front of them. The road was the only one in the red dusty plain, and she figured that it would have been deserted otherwise. However, all those currently assembled, completely spoilt the look.
Artemis screamed as she realised that Percy was about to ram headfirst into the cliff. Screams echoed around her, sounding from the Hunters.
To their surprise, instead of turning into minced meat, they melted easily through the rocks, and were spat out on the other side. (Who else is reminded of Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross?)
Hot Rod shifted back into Percy, almost as if on instinct, and Artemis and Thalia found themselves sitting on his muscular, but unfortunately, clothed, chest. The God groaned under them.
The rest of the Transformers appeared after them, and took their time to carefully shift into their human forms, letting the Hunters get off so they did not have another Percy at the base.
The moon goddess and her lieutenant blushed, and got up, before they pulled up Percy, who was still lying on the ground with no intentions to move.
Percy groaned, and stretched, yawning. He clapped his hands, "Eventful day, today, you get the rest of the day off to do whatever the fuck you want. Hunters, I will show you around Base."
Artemis turned around to take her first good look at the Transformers Base, and gaped at it. It was larger than the throne room, taking up the entire interior of the mountain. Several roads wound through several buildings, which looked like houses. At the heart of the small city, was an open space, with a stage, and several tables, around a well.
Artemis couldn't help but snicker at this. They were so advanced, but still used wells for drawing water. Or so she thought.
Moving on, there was a large grassy field to one side, where several shirtless boys were already kicking a ball around. Besides the field and the dining place, the only other buildings seemed to be a control room, where Soundwave disappeared, right beside the entrance. There was a futuristic-looking circular building with a dome, where Shockwave disappeared. There was a large forge, and armoury, which resembled Hephaestus' palace. Besides that, there were two large arenas, one significantly larger than the other.
Percy spread his arms dramatically, and mock bowed to the Huntresses. "Welcome to Mt. Iacon, the Autobot Base!"
Artemis had a lot of questions.
Percy gestured to the control room. "Through here first." He held the door open for the Hunters.
Inside, there were several computer screens, and keyboards, lining all the walls. Soundwave manned all of them alone, effortlessly.
Percy gestured through another door. "Through here, lies our energon reserves. You remember, energon, the crystal which I gave you? Follow me."
Inside, there were mountains of blue crystals, all similar to the ones Percy had drawn out of the Earth earlier. He continued explaining. "So, this is blue energon. It powers almost everything you see here, including our vehicle forms."
He walked on to a heap of purple crystals. "This is dark energon. As its name implies, it's bad." Rubs his head sheepishly. "Please refrain from touching it." He stopped Thalia midway. "I will demonstrate it's effects later."
He plucked a crystal off the pile, and tucked it in his pocket.
"This is red energon." Percy gestures to a still smaller pile of red crystals. "It increases your speed for a while."
Thalia moved to a glass cage standing at the corner of the room. "What's that?" She gestured to a fluorescent blob inside.
"That's tox-en. Short for toxic energon. It's lethal to almost everything it touches. Even us. And so far, there's only one known cure."
"And that?" Phoebe gestured to a single green crystal lying on the floor, as if thrown about carelessly. "That's synthetic energon. For emergencies. It's not completely perfected yet, it just gives a short burst of energy. Like caffeine."
"Let's move on." Percy went through another door, which surprisingly, passed them through to where they first started. "The Hunters can camp anywhere they want, or I can vacate some houses for them. Or they can stay with a Transformer of their choice, which is highly unlikely."
Mixmaster moved in front of them, carrying a bunch of carpets. Percy clutched his shoulder, and forced him to look at him. "What happened?" The god asked.
"There has been a massacre at the yoga class. Ironhide again. The current mats are all bloodstained, so they want new ones."
Artemis raised her eyebrow as Percy gestured him to go on his way. "Oh, I forgot." Percy slapped his forehead. "In here, you can die as many times as you want, you will just reform in time for dinner." He snaps his fingers. "There, you have the same ability now. You can get killed as many times as you want, you will wake up in one piece again in time for dinner. Oh, and this works only in here."
The Hunters just gaped at the God. That is why they hadn't seen any infirmary in here. Anybody who is injured, is killed off, and he reforms 'in time for dinner'.
Percy walked on to the smaller arena. "Come on!"
The Hunters filed in, and inside, they watched as Ironhide, back in his robot form, pummeled everyone, that is, until Starscream landed him with dual missiles. Gasps rose from the Hunters, as Ironhide exploded, and the remnants of his body were flung to the side like trash. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. "He just killed him!" Tracy, a daughter of Hermes, exclaimed, her eyes wide in horror.
Percy waved her aside. "Meh, he will come around later on."
"Percy, what're this... symbols that each of them has?"
"Oh, that. I divided them into two factions, each under a general. The red ones are the Autobots, under Optimus Prime, and the purple ones are the Decepticons, under Megatron. Increases their competitive spirit. Think of it as two houses in a school. The Decepticons are full-on offensive and militarised, like the Romans, while the Autobots are civilians, like the Greeks. Ironically, Optimus is Roman, while Megatron is Greek." Percy spoke quickly, showing his demigod ADHD, which had not gone away.
"Now, let me demonstrate the effects of Dark Energon. It's addictive, like a drug, and even a slight overdose can kill you. Some of my Decepticons are resistant to the side effects though. So, I dilute it, by fusing it with blue energon, like this." Percy tapped the purple crystal with a blue one which had appeared out of nowhere, to create a familiar blue and purple crustal. Several Hunters subconsciously brought out their prized daggers to compare it with the crystal. "This thing, is virtually indestructible. It's stronger than Celestial Bronze, or Imperial Gold, bla bla bla. The only thing which can slice through it is dark energon."
Percy hopped onto the arena, and everyone immediately moved aside. He snapped his fingers, making two targets, and two hammers materialise out of thin air. "Bumblebee." Said bot jumped into the arena, already in his robot form and stood beside him.
"This hammer weighs 10000 pounds, for your information," Percy said casually. Artemis' eyes widened. Even some gods had trouble lifting such a great weight. Bumblebee clutched the hammer, and flung it, groaning in pain. He was strong, but not as strong as that. The hammer landed on the far side of the arena.
The yellow Autobot then shot a target, his hand transforming to form a gun. Bullseye.
"Impressive." Percy did not sound impressed. "Now take this." He handed Bumblebee the mixed crystal, which melted into his body.
Bumblebee jolted back as if he had received a shock. His body let off a bluish-purple glow. Without a word, he clutched the second hammer, and effortlessly lifted it, in one hand, and threw it. The hammer disappeared out of the stadium. He then turned and shot the target. This time, Artemis did not know how his shot was, as it destroyed both the targets, leaving a small crater in the area. Her eyes widened at the sheer destructive nature of the dilute Dark Energon. She wondered what else it could do.
Bumblebee then proceeded to promptly pass out. Starscream shot him, creating a big hole right in his chest. The Hunters gasped again, though such... savagery was becoming quite a common occurrence. Bumblebee was also tossed aside, in the midst of a pile of bodies outside the arena.
"And what are the special abilities that Soundwave talked about?"
"Oh...that. Every Transformer has a special power, which can be used in emergencies. Soundwave can summon the space bridge whenever he wants. Shockwave can repair himself. Bombshell is not affected by the explosions he causes. And so on and so on. Every one of them has given their special abilities a special name. Like I call my one, Acceleration."
"Now, do you want to see what happens in the bigger arena?" Percy seriously sounded excited, and Artemis gave him a small nod. The Hunters followed the childish God as he practically ran into the larger arena.
It was deserted. No one, not even a mouse stirred. Artemis could not understand Percy's excitement, when he cupped his hands in front of his mouth, and called, "Combaticons! Meet me at the Combiner arena!"
Within a minute, the five Decepticon Combaticons were assembled. Onslaught, Swindle, Brawl, Vortex, and Blast Off, Artemis recalled.
They shifted into their robot forms, when Percy called, "Combine!"
To Artemis' surprise, awe and horror, the five cons combined to form an even enormous Transformer. Swindle and Brawl formed the legs, Onslaught the torso, while Vortex and Blast Off formed its arms. It absolutely dwarfed the tallest Transformer Artemis had seen so far. The new robot spoke in a deep booming voice- "Bruticus online."
Percy chuckled at the Hunters' expressions. "This is a Combiner, the combined form of a few Transformers with similar characteristics. This one is called Bruticus, or sometimes, Ruination."
The Combaticons shifted again, seemingly exhausted. They tumbled down, falling one on top of the other. "We... need more energon!" Onslaught panted. "Too consuming!"
Percy chuckled, before he walked out, followed by the Hunters.
He stood abruptly in the middle of a road, muttering, "Where was I going? Where was I going?"
He snapped his fingers, as if he had just remembered something. "Yeah, right! I was gonna show you the research lab!" He sprinted at top speed towards the circular building. Opening the door, he rushed inside, forgetting all courtesy. He reminded the Hunters of a child on Christmas.
"Shockwave! How is the cannon going?!" He exclaimed in Shockwave's ear. He jumped up, knocking over the table, and all the assembled mechanical parts. He looked down at them in despair, and sighed. "Hound's trying them out now." He kneeled to pick up the parts, grumbling to himself.
Percy again stormed through a white sterile-looking door, into another white room. It reminded Artemis of the interrogation chambers on Olympus. A glass wall separated the room they were in, from another room, where Hound, in is robot form, was clutching a cannon. Said cannon had several energon crystals, cut into pointy small shapes, which revolved around the main muzzle.
Percy put on dark tinted glasses, and headphones. He gestured the Hunters to do the same, and gave a thumbs-up to Hound.
Hound sighed, and looked at the Hunters to see if they were all ready. He then turned, and open fire at some targets assembled at a far corner. Percy looked on excitedly, as all the targets were engulfed in blue explosions, leaving small craters where they previously were.
Suddenly, an electronic beep reverberated through the small chamber. Artemis just had time to register the terrified look on Hound's face, before the cannon exploded, vaporising everything in the testing chamber, including himself.
Percy sighed dejectedly, and kept the glasses back. "We need to work more." He muttered.
Thalia patted the deflated God's back reassuringly.
Percy walked back to the entrance, and looked onto his Base. "Mount Iacon." He muttered absent-mindedly to himself. Artemis gestured the Hunters to go and set up Camp on the now deserted football field. As the Hunters disappeared, Artemis put her hand on Percy's shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts. "Percy, do you mind if I stay with you?" She was not sure if he would say yes, but if he did, her life would be settled for now.
Percy rubbed the back of his head. "Thalia already asked me..."
"Oh." Artemis' hopes were extinguished.
"But, I have an extra guest room empty. You can stay there if you want, or I can vacate the house for you."
Artemis smiled at him. "Where's your house?"
Percy pointed to the far side of the small city. "It's against the mountainside. So I can keep a lookout for enemies. But, actually, I only chose it because the lookout point makes an excellent balcony." He smiled sheepishly at the moon goddess.
Artemis couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
Seeing all the Transformers and Hunters walking towards the city centre, the well and the dining tables, Percy checked his watch. "Oh, Zeus! It's dinnertime already! Come on!"
He grasped Artemis' wrist, which sent sparks up her arm, and dragged her along as he ran towards the dining halls.
There were streetlights illuminating the whole area. A few butterflies fluttered about in the air. The atmosphere itself was warm, and had a homey glow to it. Everyone laughed about, and Artemis couldn't help but smile at the sight of her hardened Hunters laughing in such a carefree manner. She looked at the stage to see some musical instruments and a microphone set up, and she couldn't help but wonder if they were gonna have some music to accompany dinner.
Three tables were set, one on each side of the well, while the stage was on the fourth side. There was a high table, which sat only two people, which Artemis guessed was for her and Percy. The Hunters sat at the Eastern table, headed by Thalia. The Autobots sat at the Western table, headed by Optimus Prime, while the Decepticons sat at the Southern table, headed by Megatron. Artemis couldn't help but notice that a lot of chairs were empty, and she realised that it was for those who were currently dead. She shivered.
Percy noticed Artemis shivering, and draped an arm around her, in a comforting manner. She blushed, but pressed herself into Percy's side. Everybody's eyes were wide, and mouths open. Artemis could feel Thalia's piercing glare and rage directed at her, and she blushed impossibly deeper.
Percy guided her to the high table, and pulled out the eastern seat for her, like a gentleman. Once Artemis was seated, he pushed it back in.
Artemis expected Percy to join her, but the God walked up to the stage, and took the microphone. "Hello, Hunters, Transformers, Artemis." He gave a nod of acknowledgement. "Today, is the most special of days. Today, the Transformers have allied themselves with the Hunters. To celebrate this special occasion, we are going to party!" Whistles and cheers rang out. Percy laughed, before continuing. "But, first, the customary ritual. It may sound weird to the Hunters, but we all gather here every day, just before dinner, to welcome back our currently deceased brothers, and recount their tales of painful death." Several Hunters shivered. "And contrary to what you may think, we have dinner at our own homes every day. This is just for throwing parties." He waved his hand dismissively. "Now, this, is the Well of Allsparks. It gives life to our brothers. Now let's proceed!"
Hardly had the words left his mouth, than a hand grasped the side of the well, making all the Hunters gasp. Ironhide's body followed the hand, out of the well, and he stood in front of the high table. He saluted Percy and Artemis. "Ironhide- died of Starscream's missiles." Cheers erupted at the Decepticon table, while the Autobots glared at them.
This went on for some time- welcoming back all the deceased. Artemis couldn't help but think that this would be her Hunters, too, starting from tomorrow.
Percy then clapped his hands, making an enormous feast appear at all four tables. Even though the two Gods did not need all that food, nor could they eat that much food, but still the high table, too, was piled with food.
Percy descended, as Jazz went up to the stage. "He's going to entertain us with music," Percy whispered to Artemis as he assumed the seat beside her, and dug into his food.
Artemis smiled, before she too, attacked her chicken wings.
On the stage, Jazz spoke into the microphone. "This song's called 'Whatever It Takes' by Imagine Dragons."
Cheers erupted among the tables, but died down as the instruments began to play by themselves. This was the first time some of the Hunters were having fun.
Jazz started singing-
Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it's vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working onto something that I'm proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost
I'm an apostrophe
I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see
I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Everybody cheered as Jazz finished. Atlanta shouted, "How can you sing so fast?"
Jazz opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by Sideswipe. "He was taught by the best of the best. Come on, Hot Rod, hit 'em with it!"
Percy sighed, having finished eating, and got up to the stage. Jazz moved back to his seat as Percy took the mic.
"Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!" The Transformers chanted.
Percy sighed again, before he began to rap.
(Godzilla by Eminem and Juice World)
I can swallow a bottle of alcohol and I'll feel like Godzilla
Better hit the deck like the card dealer
My whole squad's in here, walking around the party
A cross between a zombie apocalypse and big Bobby "The
Brain" Heenan which is probably the
Same reason I wrestle with mania
Shady's in this bitch, I'm posse'd up
Consider it to cross me a costly mistake
If they sleepin' on me, the hoes better get insomnia
Adhd, Hydroxycut
Pass the Courvoisi' (ayy, ayy)
In AA with an AK, melee, finna set it like a playdate
Better vacate, retreat like a vacay, mayday (ayy)
This beat is cray-cray, Ray J, H-A-H-A-H-A
Laughing all the way to the bank, I spray flames
They cannot tame or placate the
Monster
You get in my way, I'ma feed you to the monster
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to a monster
When the moon shines like Ice Road Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Godzilla, fire spitter, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
Fire, Godzilla, fire, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
I'm just a product of Slick Rick and Onyx, told 'em, "Lick the balls"
Had 'em just appalled at so many things that pissed 'em off
It's impossible to list 'em all
And in the midst of all this
I'm in a mental hospital with a crystal ball
Tryna see, will I still be like this tomorrow?
Risperdal, voices whisper
My fist is balled back up against the wall, pencil drawn
This is just the song to go ballistic on
You just pulled a pistol on the guy with the missile launcher
I'm just a Loch Ness, the mythological
Quick to tell a bitch screw off like a fifth of Vodka
When you twist the top of the bottle, I'm a
Monster
You get in my way, I'ma feed you to the monster
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to a monster
When the moon shines like Ice Road Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Godzilla, fire spitter, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
Fire, Godzilla, fire, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
If you never gave a damn, raise your hand
'Cause I'm about to set trip, vacation plans
I'm on point like my index is, so all you will ever get is
The motherfuckin' finger (finger), prostate exam ('xam)
How can I have all these fans and perspire?
Like a liar's pants, I'm on fire
And I got no plans to retire and I'm still the man you admire
These chicks are spazzin' out, I only get more handsome and flier
I got 'em passin' out like what you do when you hand someone flyers
And what goes around comes around just like the blades on a chainsaw
'Cause I caught the flap of my dollar stack right off the bat like a baseball
Like Kid Ink, bitch, I got them racks with so much ease that they call me Diddy
'Cause I make bands and I call getting cheese a cakewalk (cheesecake) yeah
Bitch, I'm a player, I'm too motherfuckin' stingy for Cher
Won't even lend you an ear, ain't even pretending to care
But I tell a bitch I'll marry her if she'll bury her
Face on my genital area, the original Richard Ramirez
Christian Rivera, 'cause my lyrics never sit well
So they wanna give me the chair
Like a paraplegic, and it's scary, call it Harry Caray
'Cause every Tom and Dick and Harry carry a Merriam motherfuckin' dictionary
Got 'em swearing up and down, they can't spit, this shit's hilarious
It's time to put these bitches in the obituary column
We wouldn't see eye to eye with a staring problem
Get the shaft like a steering column (Mark Jack)
Trigger happy, pack heat, but it's black ink
Evil half of the Bad Meets Evil
That means take a back seat
Take it back to Fat Petes with a maxi, single
Look at my rap sheet, what attracts these people
Is my gangster, bitch, like Apache with a catchy jingle
I stack chips, you barely got a half-eaten Cheeto
Fill 'em with the venom and el-lemonade 'em
Other words, I minute made 'em
I don't wanna hurt 'em, but I did 'em in a fit of rage
I'm murderin' again, nobody will evade him
Finna kill 'em and dump all the fuckin' bodies in the lake
Obliterating everything, incinerate and renegade 'em
And I make anybody who want it with the pen afraid
But don't nobody want it, but they're gonna get it anyway
'Cause I'm beginnin' to feel like I'm mentally ill
I'm Atilla, kill or be killed, I'm a killer, be the vanilla gorilla
You're bringin' the killer within me out of me
You don't want to be the enemy of the demon who went in me
Or being the recievin' enemy, what stupidity it'd be
Every bit of me is the epitome of a spitter
When I'm in the vicinity, motherfucker, you better duck
Or you finna be dead the minute you run into me
A hundred percent of you is a fifth of a percent of me
I'm 'bout to fuckin' finish you bitch, I'm unfadable
You wanna battle, I'm available, I'm blowin' up like an inflatable
I'm undebatable, I'm unavoidable, I'm unevadable
I'm on the toilet bowl, I got a trailer full of money and I'm paid in full
I'm not afraid to pull the
Man, stop
Look what I'm plannin', haha.
The cheers were deafening this time. Percy spoke for a last time. "The tiebreaker between the Hunters and the Transformers will take place tomorrow, at the Arena. I will be fighting Artemis." Percy went to get off the stage, but turned back as if a thought had just occurred to him. "Don't party late."
He got off the stage, and walked towards Artemis, who was waiting for him by the high table. Before Percy reached her, Thalia had already reached him. She hugged his arm, pressing herself close to him.
Percy was aware of how her big boobs were pressing against him, but he managed not to let anything show. She was not wearing a bra.
He wrapped an arm around Artemis' shoulders, and steered the two girls towards his house. Artemis snuggled into his side, breathing in his musky scent.
Time seemed to fly by as the three walked along the main road towards Percy's house at the far side. Ironically, it gave them enough time to wonder why Percy hadn't shifted into Hot Rod, and driven them home. The party was dead behind them, and all the streetlights were off. Artemis could hear the Transformers jesting each other as they returned to their respective houses, and could see the faint silver of the Hunters as they returned to their Camp on the field.
When they finally reached his cosy two storey home, and Artemis took a good look at it. It was built against the inner wall of the mountain, so only three walls were built, while the mountain was the fourth side. There was a sliding glass door, which led to the dining room, and kitchen. On the second floor, spanning the entire wall, was a glass window, which was connected to the living room.
Their position had shifted as the three had walked home. Now, Percy was holding a sleeping Thalia bridal style, while Artemis walked in front of them. Artemis slid the door open for the two, sliding it back when they had entered.
Percy sighed. "I better get Thalia to bed in the guest room. Follow me."
Percy climbed the stairs to the next floor, and entered the living room. Along the right wall was the enormous window which Artemis had seen from outside. There was a couch on one wall, with several carpets, blankets and cushions spread about on the floor. Facing the couch was a giant twelve-inch television.
Percy stopped at the second door on the left wall, and managed to open it somehow.
He nodded towards the third door, and said, "That's your room."
Artemis wandered back to her room. It was well furnished, with a king-sized bed, and there was a walk-in closet, with a full-body mirror. The floor was covered with a soft plush carpet. There was a door off to the left, which undoubtedly led to the bathroom.
Artemis walked back to the living room just in time to see Percy plant a kiss on Thalia's forehead, and head downstairs. She could feel herself burning up in jealousy inside. She sighed. She could not have the first man to catch her eye to just be stolen away by her lieutenant. She seriously had to up her game.
Percy was downstairs. Artemis smirked. The scent on the boxers she had stolen from him was faint. And she wasn't called the Huntress for nothing.
Artemis entered Percy's room, silently closing the door behind her. She took a moment to take in his room. The walls were painted black, other than that, it was furnished similar to her room. The only other exception was that several trophies lined the walls. Hyperion's spear, Gration's bow, Polybotes' trident, Leon's skull. The list went on and on.
Although Artemis was extremely curious about his conquests, she had more pressing matters to attend to.
She opened the door to his bathroom, and peered inside. Just as she had hoped, a stack of shorts and boxers lay stacked at one corner, waiting to be washed.
Artemis picked up one of them. She felt the fine fabric between her fingers, and it was still warm, indicating that he had worn it recently. She brought it to her face, and took a slight sniff. His musky scent was there alright, and Artemis felt strangely light-headed and intoxicated. She stuffed it inside her pocket, and wondered if she should take a new shirt too.
After a moment of thinking, she decided not to take any risks, and crept back out.
Maybe because of her thoughts being jumbled, or some other reason, she did not hear the footsteps outside. Artemis opened the door, trying to get back to her room without being detected, but the door slammed into someone on the other side.
"Ouch." Percy winced, and groaned in pain as he was sprawled out on the floor.
Artemis froze like a deer caught in the headlights. "Artemis, what are you doing in my room?!" Percy squinted suspiciously at her.
"Ummm. ... no...Nothing." Artemis stuttered out, blushing furiously. She strode to her room, which was barely a few feet away, and rushed in. She slammed the door behind her, breathing heavily, leaving a confused Percy in the living room.
Artemis locked the door, and making sure that it was locked indeed, she stepped away from it.
She deposited the stolen boxers in front of the bed, and walked to the full-body mirror.
Artemis examined herself, and her clothes. Her auburn waves cascaded down her back, framing her face, making it look like a glowing fiery halo. Her face was clear and flawless, fit for a goddess, with captivating silver eyes, which swirled, and seemed to draw you in its endless depths. Her body had a silvery glow, making her already pale skin look like ivory, and showing off her domain of the moon.
The moon goddess propped up her pillow against the headboard, imagining that it was Percy. Artemis walked slowly to the bathroom, and pretended that her imagined Percy was watching her.
She threw a seductive look at him, and swayed her hips sensually with every step she took. Once she was in the bathroom, she undressed herself. She took off her silver parka, and deposited it in the basket. It was followed by her black jeans. She drew her white shirt over her head, revealing her covered breasts, and leaving her in only a bra and panties.
Artemis reached back, and unclipped the black bra, making her breasts jiggle free. They were quite large, DDD cup, with no sag. They were quite firm, and soft round globes of pale flesh, with pink nipples, and Artemis hoped that they would help her to attract Percy. She then drew her panties down to her ankles, and kicked them off, dropping them into the basket.
Artemis switched the shower on, and sighed as the hot water cascaded down her skin, relaxing her muscles. Once she had got sufficiently wet, she scrubbed herself down to get rid of the dirt, and shampooed her hair.
She briefly wondered if she should masturbate to Percy in the shower, but deciding against carrying out her new hobby, which had developed over the past few years.
Yes, even when Percy was mortal, and with Annabeth, Artemis had crushed on him, and masturbated to him every night. It had developed when he saved her from the sky, and Artemis observing his behaviour when she was at Camp. The moon goddess could tell that her lieutenant had crushed on him, too, since he had brought her back to life.
Artemis shook her head. She would masturbate to him on the bed. The Goddess snapped her fingers, instantly drying herself, and walked out of the bathroom, not bothering to cover herself. She knew no one would spy on her here.
The moon goddess stood in front of the full-body mirror, and examined her flat stomach. Long years of hunting had kept her in the finest of shapes. She had fat, pouty, pink pussy lips, which looked impossibly tight. 4000 years of being a maiden, did that to one.
She executed a perfect pirouette, whirling around, and looking over her shoulder to examine her ass. She had a pale bubble butt, which was almost as large and as soft as her breasts, with the perfect mixture of muscle and flesh. When she was not wearing panties, it jiggled with every step she took.
Artemis looked at her bed, and sighed. The pillow she had propped up, had fallen over. This whole 'imaginary Percy' thing, was not going to work. She was making a fool out of herself- acting like a lovesick teen girl crushing over a celebrity.
She lay down on her bed, relishing in the feeling of sinking in the soft mattress. Perfect, she thought. She felt as if she were lying on some clouds, and couldn't help but praise Percy's hospitality.
Artemis bit her lip, trying to stifle the moan she involuntarily let out at the thought of the son of Poseidon. She squeezed her breasts together, and imagined that it was Percy's hands, and not her own, which were pleasuring her. She flicked her nipples, which were now little pebbles of pink flesh, and moaned in pleasure.
Artemis continued playing with her own breasts for quite some time. Anyone who entered would have had a heart attack at the lewd behaviour displayed by the maiden goddess.
Artemis briefly wondered if Percy would walk in, and catch her in that position. That thought drove her crazy for some reason. She was even more aroused at the thought that Percy would bend her over his knee, and spank the shit out of her. She moaned again.
Slowly, her hands descended from her chest, dragging slowly and sensually across her stomach to rest at er wet snatch.
Artemis' pussy was gushing juices in a lavish manner, and she had hardly done anything yet. Just the thought of Percy, and him ravaging her untouched body, was enough to bring her to an orgasm.
Her core, as well as her inner thighs and the corresponding area of the bed, was soaking wet with her juices. Artemis blushed for no apparent reason, before she moaned in pleasure as she rubbed her dripping snatch.
Artemis knees were bent as she furiously rubbed her pussy, groping her tits roughly. She wondered if she should finger herself, but refrained from doing so. She wanted Percy's cock to be the first thing that penetrated those virgin folds.
Instead, she increased the pace of her rubbing, occasionally pinching her clit and playing with it, as she continued groping her tits, and flicking her rock hard nipples. Artemis screamed in pleasure. She then came down from her high long enough to wonder if the room was soundproof, before she was consumed again by her lust, and resumed her frantic rubbing.
In her mind's eye, she could see herself bent over Percy's knee, as he spanked her. His hand descended upon her ass again and again, making her bubble butt jiggle with every slap, and leaving red handprints, as if marking her as his. Then, the image shifted for some reason, and showed her being gangbanged...by three identical Percy's. Yes, there were three Percy's who were fucking her. She wondered if his godly powers allowed him to split his body, before she examined the picture in her mind closely. In the image, Artemis looked like a bitch in heat. Her eyes were rolled back, and her face was contorted with an expression of constant pleasure. All her holes were filled, with one Percy straddling her, with his cock buried deep inside her pussy. She was lying on another Percy, who was balls deep inside her ass. When Percy#1 pulled out, Percy#2 thrust in, and vice versa. And every time one of them thrust in, Artemis was pushed forward. Did I mention that she had another Percy's cock down her throat? She tried to bob her head as well as she could with two cocks in her private areas, and with her getting constantly pushed forward, she was always deepthroating him. Her face was red, and saliva escaped from her mouth, though it was plugged by an enormous cock, and dripped down her face. Her ass was red, and two hands were constantly groping and spanking her ass cheeks, occasionally even slapping her face. Four hands were shamelessly groping her tits, which were red with all the abuse they were put through.
Artemis figured that it would be painful, but oddly, the thought of Percy degrading the feared man-hating goddess in such a way, turned her on to unfathomable extensions.
Suddenly, Artemis was pulled back to the present world as she screamed in pleasure. Her back arched, lifting her ass off the bed, and she bucked her hips towards her frantically rubbing hand. The moon goddess finally orgasmed, making her squirt her love juices onto the floor, and the bed, drenching both the carpet and the bedsheets. She wiped her hand on the sheets, suddenly tired by all these activities, and turned on her side. Artemis cuddled the pillow which she had earlier imagined to be Percy, as she rested her head on another equally soft pillow.
Her last thought as she drifted off to the realm of Morpheus was that the real Percy would be much warmer than this pillow.
Time: Next Morning
The smaller arena in Mt. Iacon was packed. All the Hunters and Transformers were there, and the cheers were deafening. Thalia sat at a different row by herself, while the Hunters cheered behind her. Phoebe shouted, "Show that male what we got, Milady!"
Barricade glared at her. "Pummel her Hot Rod!"
Cheers broke out among the Transformers, along with several shouts of, "Tear her apart!", "Make her worst nightmares come true!"
The Hunters glared at them, and Artemis feared that fighting would break out among the stands.
Apollo was standing off to the side, telling something to Percy hurriedly, but he just waved him off. Apollo looked ready to strangle someone.
Artemis walked up to the two. "I am ready."
"So am I. Let's do this." Percy smiled.
Apollo scowled, replying in a gruff voice. "I'll be judging."
Artemis walked to the centre of the arena, followed by Percy, while Apollo stood off to the side. Artemis pulled out her bow, while Percy tried to summon his khopesh. However, their seemed to be some problem, as he frowned. Apollo moved forward, but Percy gestured him back. Artemis frowned at the fact that her brother and her crush were talking more than he was talking to her. (Sadie Kane moment.)
Percy tore off his shirts, snapping his fingers so that his jeans disappeared too, leaving him in shorts. He stood in an offensive position like a boxer, with his fists raised. Artemis flinched at his bronze arm. It was the only thing marring his beauty, apart from the scars littering his skin.
She raised her eyebrow. "No weapons?"
"I don't need to," Percy smirked.
Artemis furrowed her eyebrows and attacked. She fired arrow after arrow at him, but Percy dodged every single one. He jumped closer, and Artemis gritted her teeth as her bow was useless at such close range. She flicked her wrists, bringing out her silver hunting knives.
Artemis lunged towards Percy, slashing at him. He leaned back, before he swung his left hand in an uppercut. Artemis jumped back, and brought out her bow, firing an arrow at an unbelievable speed. Percy caught the arrow, and threw it back at where Artemis was standing, but she was not there.
Artemis was already at Percy's back, and kicked him, sending him sprawling in the dust. She pounced on him, daggers in hand, but Percy rolled aside. He jumped back to his feet, and kicked Artemis, sending her flying back.
Percy rubbed his mouth, and smiled. "It seems I have to up my game."
Artemis sat up, and grinned, before she too got up.
Without a word, Artemis lunged again at Percy. He crouched, as if preparing to pounce, but... he disappeared the next moment. He reappeared behind Artemis. The moon goddess just had time to register that, when he punched her, breaking some ribs and sending her crashing into the side of the arena.
Percy again appeared in front of her, but Artemis noticed something was off. A trail of ichor dripped from the corner of his mouth. She could not see anything else, as Percy had flung her across to the other end of the arena like a rag doll.
Artemis groaned, and lay still. Even getting up was painful. She could hear Percy coughing violently, and was worried for a moment, before her competitive spirit took over. Using her godly strength, she stood back up, to see Percy doubled over in a fit of violent coughing. His fist was clasped over in front of his mouth.
Artemis again rushed forward towards him in a last burst of strength. The moon goddess kneed the God of Unknown Domains hard in the stomach, and Percy groaned. It came out raspy, and a gargle. He removed his fist from his mouth, and punched Artemis with all his strength, and she was again flung across the stadium and when she landed, she could feel most of the bones in her body break.
The last thing she saw before she blacked out was the assembled Hunters and Transformers jumping over the stands, and rushing towards them in worry, several medics were carrying two stretchers and other equipment, while Apollo ordered them about. But what worried about most was that Percy was on all fours on the ground in a violent coughing fit. Ichor puddled around him, and he finally collapsed spasming in his own ichor.
Artemis woke up in a hospital bed, absolutely fine. She looked around.
It was not definitely Apollo's hospital, cause it was not obnoxiously bright. The room was a sterile white, and there was a chair beside her bed. It seemed as if someone had occupied it recently, cause the wrinkles caused on the cushion had yet to smooth out. A mug of nectar sat beside a bowl of ambrosia on her bedside table.
Artemis got up, relieved to see that she still had her clothes on. She emptied the bowl and the nectar, and felt much better.
She stood up on wobbly legs. Percy really did a number on her. She blushed as her mind became dirtier, and wondered if she would be able to walk at all after Percy fucked her.
Artemis shook her head, and walked out of the room. Ratchet was lounging on the couch in the corridor, and he stood up as soon as he saw her. The medics here did not seem to have much to do.
"Lady Artemis! You're awake! Lord Apollo is at Hot Rod's office, at the control room. Soundwave will show you the way."
Artemis gave him a stiff nod, and flashed to the control room. Soundwave was typing away at a keyboard, but seemed to sense she was there. Without even looking up from his computer screen, he pointed at a door on the left, which Artemis had not noticed before.
The moon goddess rushed inside, to see Apollo shouting furiously at Percy, who had his head in his hands.
Apollo's eyes widened as he saw her, and he hugged her protectively. Artemis pushed him away, and stood in front of Percy, her hands on her hips. He did not even bother to look up. "What was that?!" She screeched.
Percy sighed, and stood up. He waved his hand, and both Apollo and Artemis were forced onto two chairs. They couldn't get up, nor could they speak.
"I guess it's time for some explanations." He ran his hand through his messy black hair, and if she was not so angry, Artemis would have lost herself in how handsome he was.
Percy resumed his seat, having retrieved a box from a shelf.
Apollo somehow regained his ability to speak, and shouted, "He almost faded!" Artemis' eyes widened in shock, but she could not say anything. Percy raised his hand in a placating gesture, but Apollo steamrollered on. "When you fought him, he was mortal! Absolutely mortal, with no godly powers! When gods stay disconnected from their power for too long, they fade!"
"Then explain to her why I was disconnected from my power."
"Percy is too powerful as the god of Unknown Domains, omnipotent at max power. So the Fates locked away his power with five locks, and handed him the keys. He calls it the Omega Lock." Apollo shoots him a nasty glare. "When those five keys are put together in his body, in certain locations, he achieves max power. The last time he was at max, he destroyed the solar system in anger."
Artemis' eyes widened. Sensing what she was going to ask, Apollo continued. "That was in a past universe, where he failed to save you from getting raped by Orion." Artemis grimaced. "And only I and he, and the Fates know of this, because as Gods of Prophecy, Fate and Time, we know what is going on in all universes. He had to recreate everything after getting an ass-chewing from the Fates."
Percy turned around. "Artemis, I trust you, so I'm not going to ask you to swear on the Styx. I trust that you will not betray what I'm about to tell you."
The moon goddess leaned forward in anticipation. "I'm going to tell you why I do this."
Percy took a deep breath. "But first, I'm going to tell you about the five Omega keys, and their locations. The first two are the Matrix of Leadership, and the Matrix of Conquest. Optimus and Megatron carry it with them, and it grants them enormous power. That's why they are so strong. The third one is the Allspark, which is housed in the Well of Allsparks. Soundwave can retrieve it at will. The fourth and fifth one are the most secretive. There is a halo emblazoned on the back of my throne, which can be detached. That is the fourth key, while this is the fifth." He showed Artemis the key, a fluorescent luminous crystal housed inside the box he had retrieved from the shelf. "This will go to my lover, if I ever gain one. If not, then it remains here, collecting dust."
He got up again, replacing the box on the shelf. "As to why I keep my power locked, when I am at full power, Unicron will be at full power. One of us cannot be at max without the other."
He stood in front of her. "In the godly world, twins are gods born at the same time. They need not be of the same parents."
Artemis' eyes widened. "Yes, Unicron is my twin."
