AN: I am not Rick Riordan or Masashi Kishimoto. I hope you enjoy my story. If you didn't read the description, here it is again, with the warning as well:
This is a fanfic where Naruto, the Olympians (including Hestia and Hades) & the PJO characters are reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Percy is from after they've settled down after the war with Gaea. I haven't read the Trials of Apollo, so anything from that time will be ignored.
WARNING: I'm still watching Naruto and don't know that world completely, but I want to do this fanfic, so sorry if he isn't like he is in canon. Right now, I'm on S1E76 (I'll update this as I continue watching when I remember to). I know quite a bit of the plot after that due to reading fanfiction about it. Officially though, that's where I'm at in Naruto.
PERCY POV
I was just on my way to get some milk for us because Paul and mom were at work. We had run out, and we desperately needed it for, umm . . . yeah, let's not get into that.
Anyways, I'm on my way to the store, and then all of a sudden white light has blinded me from all sides. Then, just as quickly, it all stopped. I look around me, and I see that I'm on Olympus. All the Olympians are present ,plus Hades and Hestia, and a man dressed in an orange and black jumpsuit.
I look next to me and see Grover and Nancy. Wait a minute. Nancy. Why does she have to be here? Before I could either say hi to Grover or a word to Nancy, Zeus shouts, "WHY ARE YOU HERE ON OLYMPUS?! STATE YOUR NAME AND BUSINESS!"
Then, the mystery man says in such a deadly calm voice, "My name is nothing you need to know, but since you need to call me something, I'll say that you may know me as the Storm Bringer."
He said it with such menace. All of the gods are terrified, even Hades. I become rigid still and can't even move my eyes to see how Grover or Nancy have reacted to that. I know he isn't angry at me, but yet I'm deathly afraid of him nonetheless. It went on for what seemed like decades but is probably just a few seconds because I can't stay still for that long, dead afraid or not.
He had just said so much to the whole room and what he thinks of the gods in just a sentence and a glare, a terrifying one though, mind you. I admire that guy big time. You can tell that do NOT want to get on his bad side. He had said so much without saying anything. He had told us so much about him without showing us even a glimpse of him.
Just … WOW.
Then, he looked at us. Right away, there was a massive difference. He has so much warmth in his eyes, rivalling even Hestia's eyes' warmth. I can't believe that this is the same person, but deep down, I understand. He would do anything, be angry if it's for a cause he supports and the ones he loves. He could be a very loving, warm and kind person, but at the same time can be very angry. I like his personality.
Then, he said, "I'm sorry that I scared you while doing that, and caught you in the crossfire. It needed to be done, though, you understand. In the end, I am doing it for you. I realize that I scared you while doing it though, and for that, I am very very sorry. You aren't used to any of this, and the first impression I gave you of me was shouting. I'm sorry."
We all numbly nodded. I honestly couldn't do anything else at the moment, and so much was happening, yet nothing was happening at all. He was so kind and yet had so much power. He was showing so much of it, with confidence, without being arrogant in the least. This feels like a mind game, and it is confusing me a lot very quickly. I wish Annabeth was here. She would know what to do. She'd probably even know the stories of the Storm Bringer, 'cause I don't know any. Gods, I miss her so much, and I've only left her for 6 hours and 30 minutes. Don't ask me how I know that, I couldn't tell you. I just do, she's Annabeth.
When I got back to the present, I could feel so much power just radiating off of him, more than any Kronos at his peak combined with Gaea at her peak would have shown. I was so used to power in this room, I ignored it at first. Now that I forgot that for a moment though, I can feel just how much power is going off of him even right now when he's looking at me kindly.
Anyways, all of that thought happened in a few seconds, even though I know that it probably looks like a lot on paper. I have ADHD, if I managed to think in that straight thought line for that long, well, I wouldn't. Oh, and that earlier line was straight enough even if it had a few points I had to redirect myself with anyways. Anyways, ADHD also makes it so that we can think things like that fast, especially since we need it in the heat of battle. How do I know all that? One word. Annabeth. Oh, Annabeth, when will you come here?
Anyways, all of that attention, from such an important person, his full undivided attention, mind you, was unnerving. That wouldn't happen unless I had done something wrong, and since I respect him, I said, "I'm sorry, sir." Hey! I can be respectful, you know!
"You have nothing to be sorry for." He said it with such conviction and a tone of finality that I was surprised. He then continued, saying merrily, "Now, please, can you guys introduce yourselves for us? And Gods, if you dare react to any of these parentages, I'll make you wish you were dead. Ok, you can start." Thank gods, that means no reactions.
"Alright, I'm Percy Jackson," I said. I didn't want to say my full titles, as that would gain too many looks, even after what he said. I'm not comfortable with that much attention, and won't do it on purpose unless someone dear to me is in trouble. You already know that.
"No, the full title please," Mystery Man said, with a smirk on his face. Argh! That's annoying. I didn't want to say that! It's like he's read my mind . That would mean I'd get everyone's attention, and without the adrenaline, well, it's terrifying. No one but Annabeth knows it, but that's the only thing other than my friends and family getting hurt that I'm afraid of.
"Argh. Do I have to?" I said, hoping that I didn't, but I knew deep down that I would eventually have to. I mean, it's worth a shot, isn't it? Especially since if I didn't have to, I definitely wouldn't.
"Yes," Mystery Man said. Aww. Oh well. Wait, maybe I need to add a please? That's the only other way I might get off. I know for sure it won't work by now, but I'll regret it if I don't say anything.
"Please?" I asked. My fingers are crossed behind my back.
"No." He said. He sounded like he was about to be less patient with me. We don't want that, especially since what he said to the gods at the start was nowhere near even an eighth of his power.
"Fine," I said. There was nothing more to say. I need to take a moment to compose myself first.
"Go on... " Mystery Man prompted. Alright. Fine. Maybe if I say it fast enough I wouldn't have to deal with reactions and stares? Yeah, let's do that, I'll still be saying it.
"Alright. Here goes nothing. I'mPercyJacksonsonofPoseidonsaviourofolympussupremelordofthebathroomasurvivoroftartarussonofneptuneheroofolympus" I said. There, done. I sighed. That went faster than I expected. At least I did it. Oh, who am I kidding? He's gonna make me do it again, I just know it.
"So that someone other than me can understand you." Mystery Man said. Wait, he understood that? Of course he did. Oh well, here we go.
"You understood that?" I said. What? I had to, plus, if I change the topic to him I might have a tad more time.
"Yea, now stop changing the topic. I know what you're doing." Mystery Man said. Wait. He knows that, and along with the smirk from earlier … he's a prankster! That's awesome but is probably not best for me right now. It's still great though. Ok, now time to have my brain sprout some idea, that probably isn't the best, but an idea is better than no idea, right?
"Awww... Fine, but Grover you better start your intro right after me so no one stares." I said. I hope he accepts it. It might give me fewer stares. I'm so grateful for Grover, he's such a great friend. He'd do anything for me.
He nodded. Grover would do anything for me in a moment. He went into the underground more than once, just for me. Now all that's left is for Mystery Man to agree.
"Percy." MM, Mystery Man, said. I'm so glad he agreed. Ok, now come on, just say it. Fear will only push me down.
I'll take a deep breath first. Breath in. Breath out. Now. "Yeah," I said, "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon; saviour of Olympus; supreme lord of the bathroom; a survivor of Tartarus; son of Neptune and the hero of Olympus. Grover." There. Done!
"I'm Grover, and I'm a satyr." He said. Thank god everyone looked at Grover. I felt like a huge weight just fell off me. There, much better.
"Good, now Nancy," MM said. Wait, how come Grover didn't have to say his titles? It's like he knows that I'm afraid of it and is targeting me because of that
"Hey! How come Grover doesn't have to say his titles?" I said. I mean, why do I have to and he's not? Why the special treatment? I honestly want to know.
"Because it isn't necessary, only for you because you need to overcome that fear. Now, any more arguments?" MM asked. Wow. He actually can read my mind. He knows so much about me, in what, a few minutes? I already know that if I trained with him instead of Chiron, it would've definitely ended up with me in multiple difficult and embarrassing situations. It'd probably make me stronger, and save an awful lot of people though.
"No sir!" I said. I should know by now, you don't want to mess with him.
"Good, Nancy?" MM said. Now that he mentioned her, I look over at her, and I can see how scared and confused she looks.
"Umm... umm... I'm Nancy... and... and . . ." I could visibly tell how scared she was. I feel a bit sorry for her.
"It's alright. That's all you need to say," MM continued explaining, saying, "She's a mortal."
"Now that introductions are done, I'll tell you what I'm here for. I'm going to be reading this book for you so that you can learn what your actions are doing, and stop it before it's too late." MM said, and held up a book whose title I couldn't read but, was that a picture of me on the cover?
"It's called 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.' and yes, it's from your perspective Percy." MM said. Oh, of course it is. The fates love me, and the gods of good luck and bad luck are fighting over me.
"Argh. It's always me isn't it?" I asked. I mean seriously, there are about 7 billion other people in the world, what about them?
"The best people have the most rotten luck." MM said. He actually does know all about me. That's a fact, though.
"That's true. You know me inside out even though you've only just met me. You know just how much to push to make me come out of my comfort zone, and when I need comforting, and when I need to be pushed, and just what to say. How?!" I said. I had to let it out, I mean, he's amazing! I want to know how he does it.
"Just how you figured out I did all of that, but a bit stronger. The power of observation and past experiences." MM said. That made enough sense that if I thought of that for a while it would come to me. Unfortunately, I have ADHD. I had a small understanding of what he had just said though. I wonder if his past is anything like mine for him to understand me. I hope not. I wouldn't want anyone else to experience what I had.
"Wow. Thank you!" I said. He had just given me a bit of advice, and let me into a bit more of him. Of course I would be grateful and give my thanks.
"Of course. Now, everyone, go to sleep, it's late. We'll start reading tomorrow. Percy, Grover, and Nancy, you guys have rooms in that halfway over there. Your rooms are labelled." Just as MM said that a new halfway appeared. Now that he mentions it, I am very tired. We said our goodbyes and went to our rooms.
Wow. My room looked like ... well, there aren't any words to describe it. It looks like the Poseidon cabin but 100 times better. When I entered it was like I was on the bottom of the ocean. Coral surrounded my blue bed, and there were so many species of the most beautiful marine species, some of which were supposed to be extinct, and it was all so clean. Around me, there were pictures of Annabeth, and some training materials and training dummies on the side. I can't describe it in words, it's that good. Don't ask me how the ocean, or any of this, fits into a room. I could bet, If I wanted to I could swim forever onwards and there won't be a wall there. It was so beautiful!
I wanted to stay here and play forever, and I also had so much to think about. I didn't imagine that I would fall asleep, but this day was so long that I fell asleep the moment my head touched my pillow. And guess what? I didn't have a single demigod dream! Wow.
