Chapter 26 - I. Hate. Ares.

The minute the invisible voice forced my foot down on the pearl after yanking the backpack off my back I knew that it wasn't some random spirit from the underworld. I am pretty sure it is my sister.[No Peyton, I am not an idiot!]

"What just happened?" Annabeth asked.

"I don't know. But what I do know is that this quest just got to a whole new level of complicated." Grover complained.

"And we have to get the bolt back today!" I exclaimed.

"Plus, now Hades is missing his helmet." Annabeth slumped.

"This quest just reached a new level of impossible." Grover grouched, "I'll need a few cans as payment for this!"

"Well, you little brats made it out alive." Ares said, coming up to our spot on the beach.

"Yeah, no thanks to you! We even managed to lose your stupid backpack!" I spat at him.

"So you don't know?" he laughed.

"Know what?" I asked.

"Ares!" Yelled a voice. We all turned to see an unexpected sight, "Give me the helm of darkness!" Peyton yelled at him. She had the backpack Ares gave us slung over her shoulder and what I assume is the master bolt in her hand.

"And what makes you think I took it?" Ares laughed.

"Well, for one you gave Percy the bag that I found it in. Two, well I don't need two." Peyton said, aiming the master bolt at Ares.

I noticed something happening to the sand a few feet away from Ares. Footprints.

"You can't fire that princess. Only a child of Zeus could do it!" Ares hissed.

"Oh really?" Peyton asked. She fired it at the sand a few feet away from Ares. Something I noticed was while my eyes told me the sand moved I didn't feel an impact.

"Impressive sea spawn." Ares said.

Peyton smirked, "Not as impressive as this." All of a sudden he disappeared and a different Peyton appeared right in front of Ares slicing a cut in his cheek.

"Give me the helm!" she hissed.

"Why should I?" I should visibly see Ares's aura getting stronger. It almost seemed to form tendrils reaching out to Peyton.

"How about a duel? I win, I get the helm! You win, you take the bolt. But, no matter the outcome you let my brother, his friends, and my friends live. Swear the terms on the styx!" Peyton said, brandishing a dagger I didn't know she had and placing it to the god's throat.

He must have forgotten he was immortal because for a second you could see the fear in his eyes. Then he seemed to come to his senses cause Peyton was disarmed in a second. I had no idea if her dagger would come back to her like my sword does so I reached into my pocket and pulled out riptide.

"Peyton! Catch!" I called and threw the pen into the air.

Peyton caught it!

"Fine, I'll duel you! but when you go back to hades empty handed and dead tell him to throw you to tartarus!" Ares succumbed.

"Swear on my terms!"

"Fine! I swear on the styx! Happy now?" Ares grumbled.

Peyton rewarded him by gabbing with my sword. Ares paired slashed. Soon it was a whirl of blades, so fast you could barely see what was happening.

All of a sudden Peyton went flying and landed in the water which was a few feet away from where she was standing.

I could hear sirens in the distance.

I don't know how but I heard a voice in my head. It was a boy's voice, "Earthquake." the voice said.

Before I knew what I was doing I had knelt down to the ground and could feel it shaking. Just a little bit at first. Then, a lot.

Peyton was back on her feet and riding a wave like a surfer except she didn't have a board.

When she landed on the ground the earthquake didn't affect her. Ares, however, was struggling to stay on his feet.

Peyton walked up to him and made a slash for his waist. ARes blocked just in time but couldn't find the foot to strike back. Peyton's blade rebound and cut his ankle.

ALl of a sudden Ares's immense rage filled the area as the police arrived. I stopped the earthquake.

"Mortals can not witness this!" Ares roared. All of a sudden a huge barrier made of fire erupted between us and the cars.

"Ares! I won, give me the helm!" Peyton stood, holding a hand to her side. Must have been her side she got hit on.

All of a sudden it felt like time slowed down as a cold laughter filled the air. Peyton visibly grinded her teeth together.

A second later it was gone and so was Ares. In his place was the helm of darkness.

PEyton limped over to it and grabbed it.

"Woah, this is way heavier than I expected." she almost dropped it.

"Peyton! How did you follow us? Why?"

Peyton let out a sharp whistle and I heard a flapping sound. All of a sudden there was a horse with three people on it.

"If he hasn't figured it out yet then he is an idiot." said the girl on the horse.

"So you are the infamous Percy Jackson?" asked the older boy.

The last one said, "No speak english!" and then laughed.

"Yeah hardy ha ha," I mocked.

"I followed you because our dad made me. He gave me a glove that made me and anything my skin touches invisible. Connor, the little one, y'all saw him because Annabeth pushed us off Charon's ferry and it made me release my hold on him." Peyton explained, "Y'all's deadline is midnight tonight as you guys should hurry up and head to new york."

"How? How are we supposed to get there in time?" I asked.

Peyton reached into her back pocket and pulled out a whistle. Why he had a whistle I don't know but he handed it to me.

"That is the bolt. Alexandra highly enchanted it to hide it from the gods while making it small enough to fit in my pocket. Percy, you are gonna have to fly." PEyton said.

"You mean in a plane?"

"I've done it a few times!" Peyton said.

"Yeah! That was before Zeus knew about our dad!" I argued back.

"This is gonna go on all day." said Annabeth and the other girl at the same time.

"Boy, if you have his weapon, he can't kill you without destroying the ding dang bolt!" said the girl. /she then handed him a card

"It's my casino card. It has an infinite amount of money and should work on anything." she explained.

Then all of a sudden a flapping sound was heard again. It wasn't another flying horse though.

"Alecto." Peyton growled, gripping my sword.

"Peace child, I'm here for the helm. Great job daughter of the sea, you have made an ally in the underworld." then she flew off taking the helm of darkness with her.

"Well, here's your sword now hurry up!" Peyton said. All of a sudden the flames Ares placed disappeared and so did Peyton and the people on the flying horse. A second later so did the dagger that Peyton had lost in her fight with Ares.

I heard a reporter a little ways off, "This just in, the pre-tten fugitive known as Percy Jackson de- saved himself and his friends by stealing a gun from his kidnapper and dueling him on santa monica beach. That's right folks, Percy JAckson is innocent. A man kidnapped him, and his two other friends. HIs sister has been looking for him as proven given the fact that she has been spotted everywhere her brother has but only after he's left. Many people claim to have seen the man behind this when thighs tended to go weird around the Jackson child."

"Must be a trick of the mist." said Annabeth coming up next to me.

"I don't know what the mist is but she was about to say I destroyed the beach when she switched tactics completely." I replied to Annabeth.

"Now we just gotta pretend to be victimized kids long enough to get to the airport." Grover said.

Shouldn't be too hard.
