Chapter 6: Meet PJ
Everyone stared at the seven year old boy, who is now sleeping on the couch since Tyson drop them there in shock. How on earth did baby Percy suddenly aged? And why did he age up?
Suddenly, Naruto phone ring from his pocket. He picked up and answered the cell. "Nyx?" Naruto said. "Do you know why the Fates decided to turn the baby seven years old?" There was silence before they heard Naruto sighed. "Of course they did. Your daughters love to mess with others." Another round of silence before Naruto spoke again. "Okay, thanks for telling me. Bye." Once he hung up, he turn to the others.
"The Fates change him into a seven year old so the reading time could be more interesting." Naruto said, causing the group to get confused.
Nico spoke up. "How is it not interesting now? We got gods and demigods reading, roman demigods with us, heroes of old with us, the mother of the six eldest Olympians, and Primordials we thought were myths."
Naruto shrug. "Those three are hard to understand." He then look at the seven year old on the couch. "We better wake the lad up. Sally should do it, since she's the only one who he knows at that age." He then took notice of something. Slight purple coloring around his eyes, a bit a blood coming from under the sleeve of the blue jacket he's wearing, and a ruffle up look. He frown. That must've been from Gabe.
Sally walk over to the young boy and shook his back. "Percy, Percy honey. Wake up." Percy slowly open his eyes before groaning in pain.
"Ow…." He groaned. When he held his wrist, he flinch and stop holding it. Sally frown. She remember when she saw a bit of blood on his hand coming from his jacket. When she tried to get a look at it, Percy got out of her grip and bolted to his room. After a while, he told her that it was from falling on the sidewalk. But was that a lie?
She stopped her thoughts when Percy spoke. "Hey mommy." Percy said quietly, tugging on his shirt. He then notice the room. "Mommy, where are we?"
She smile at Percy and put a hand on his shoulder. "It's….a lot to explain Percy."
"Maybe I can help talk to him?" The older Percy spoke from behind her. The younger one look behind Sally and his eyes widen.
"You look like an older me!" Percy exclaimed. "Are you my older brother?! I always wanted an older brother!" Percy smirk at him.
"Close." Percy said. Then kneeled down to his younger self. "I'm actually you. An older you from the future."
Little Percy eyes' widen at that. This is a older him? Then he grin. "Your me?! Awesome! I look like a superhero, especially with that cool sword on your back!" Percy grin at him.
"Yeah, this is Razor Shark, a gift recently given to me by my trainer." Percy said, patting his sword. "But I also got another weapon. Let me show you."
The little guy look real excited that the females here thought it was cute. The excitement died down when Percy reveal an ink pen. "Before you say it's a pen, pull the cap off and see what happen." The older one said. The little one, still confused, just did as he told and when he did, the pen turn into the sword, Riptide, making the boy jump in surprise.
He got out of his surprise quickly and smile widely. "Wow, that is so cool!" He grab the sword and wave it around in awe, causing most of the females to coo. Some of them, Artemis and Clarisse, merely smile.
When the little Percy heard the cooing, he turn around to see several others. His eyes widen when he saw the gods and primordials. "Why are there giant people around?"
Percy sigh. This'll take a lot of explaining.
(Half an hour later)
For half an hour, Percy and Sally explained to Percy about Greek mythology being real, why they are here, and who are all the demigods are. Meanwhile, the little guy is slowly digesting everything he's being told.
"So, Greek mythology is real…."
"Yep."
"My father is Poseidon…."
"Yep."
"And we're reading about the adventures I'm going to have?"
"That sums it up."
"...Awesome!" Percy exclaimed, pumping his fist up. Some of the groups couldn't help but chuckle at the enthusiastic reply. "And you said this is the second book?! When can I read the first one?!"
"At the next break buddy." Percy told him. "For now though, we are going to read two more chapters." He figured out that each every three chapter, they take a break after the third one. "So, who's going to read?"
"I will Percy." Rachel said, getting the book. She smile at the little Percy. "How about PJ come sit with us?" The little Percy, now dubbed as PJ, looks at his mom for permission. When she nodded, he beamed and kiss her on the cheek, before running over to where Annabeth, Reyna, and Rachel are at, with Percy walking behind him.
While Percy sat at his usual spot, with Annabeth on his lap, PJ sat beside Rachel. "Wow, there's is a lot of pretty girls." PJ commented, getting blushes and giggles the demigoddesses. He didn't voice that the three he is sitting with are the prettiest to him.
Rachel open the book and started reading. "Chapter 5: I Get a New Cabin Mate…." Poseidon sigh in relief. A chapter that doesn't like Percy is risking his life. And he knows Tyson is going to be his cabin mate with certainty.
(Ever come….messed up?)
"Yep." Some of the demigods said, either talking about their cabin or their actual home.
(Like some….find anything?)
Sally frown a little. She hope he's talking metaphorically.
(And even….furniture polish?)
"...That's how I feel when I go to my cabin." Piper said with a shiver.
Percy raised an eyebrow. "Really? Whenever I pass there, I have a feeling that supermodels or guys they think that are cute get raped there." He nearly became one of those guys before he was kidnap by Hera, but no one need to know that. Especially Annabeth.
"So I'm not the only one who thinks that?" Leo piped in. Meanwhile, Aphrodite frown. Why would they think that?
(That's kind….happy camper.)
"None of us were." Travis said with a snort. "Heck, even the Ares cabin stopped bullying others just to make sure we have more soldiers for patrol."
"We were in more danger than ever." Katie said sadly. The Romans felt that they were lucky. They were trained to fight since childhood and have the buildings that would keep monsters out. The greeks, however, didn't have such protection and have to fight off monsters with their wits and what skill they gain on their own, with only Chiron teaching them.
(As we…. "Welcome back.")
Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Clarisse, and Tyson had to stifle laughter or giggles. The others looked confused, but they didn't say why they were laughing. Though Odysseus has a suspicion as to why they are laughing.
(Some did….a couple.)
"Yeah, I just kicked out of one a few weeks ago." PJ said to them, getting some incredulous looks from some of the readers.
Percy eyes lit up in realization. "You already blown up that gym?" PJ blush in embarrassment and nodded, receiving more incredulous looks.
"How can a seven year old blow up a gym?" Athena asked in disbelief. The two Percy's merely smile, unnerving some of them. That troublemaker always unnerved people.
(None of….the toilets.")
A lot of light chuckle came from the room while Tyson blush. PJ look at Tyson strangely, like he's not believing what he's seeing.
"So, you are my brother? And you're a cyclop?" PJ asked Tyson. Tyson nodded to both questions, making the boy grin. "Awesome! I got a really strong cyclop as a brother!"
Many chuckled again at the enthusiastic reply while Percy blush. Even with Gabe, he was filled with energy at that age.
("Whasthat!"...Hermes cabin)
"How many kids are in Hermes cabin?" PJ asked curiously. When Rachel whispered the numbers, his eyes widen. "Wow, that's a lot."
"Sure is." Percy said with a nod. Luckily, that'll be fix in the future.
(that brown….sea stone.)
"Wow." PJ said in awe as he saw the cabin. "That cabin is so cool." Zeus roll his eyes. His cabin is way cooler than Poseidon's.
("You live….be alive.)
"No, you should not."
"Oh grow up, you zap-happy brat." Naruto said with an eye roll, causing Zeus to growl at him. "I'm guessing you have short term memory loss cause you seem to forget that you had TWO kids, one Greek while one is Roman."
While Zeus pouted like a whiny child, PJ look confused and a bit hurt. "What do you mean we're not suppose to be alive?"
Percy sighed while Rachel gave the child a sympathetic look. "It's gonna be explain on the book."
(The "Big….been born.)
PJ's eyes begin to water. "So….I'm a mistake?"
"No Percy." Poseidon said quickly, changing to his mortal form and kneeling down to Percy. "You are not a mistake, and never will be. So don't think that, okay?"
"He's right Percy." Sally said, coming over to the both of them. She gave her son a one-sided. "Your father was happy to have you and visited you when we could, as a baby." Percy look shock at that. He remember someone visiting his crib, but he thought that was his imagination.
"So you…." PJ started, shifting uncomfortably. "You are really glad that I'm here?"
Poseidon smile. "Yes, and I don't regret it." He ignore the glare his little brother is sending him. This will be the only time he could bond with his son at this young an age and he's not going to let that go. "I love you, son. Always will." PJ broke into a huge smile and hug his dad, causing a lot of "Awws" from the females, even Hera had a small smile (Even though she is trying to hide it)
Poseidon got back to his seat and signal Rachel to read again. She did.
(Thalia had….was twelve.)
"Worst. Years. Of. My. Life." Thalia grunted, glaring at her father. She would've preferred dying over being a tree for years. Still, if she hadn't been turn into one, she probably wouldn't have met Percy and Nico.
(Me….well….her example.)
"I do not want to be turn into a sea creature." Percy muttered. As much as he love the ocean, he doesn't want to live in it.
Zeus gleam. "Well, boy, if I had my way you would turn into ash-"
"But you don't." Poseidon interrupted with a glare while PJ look a bit scared. "Unless you want Naruto to make you fade." Zeus paled at that while Naruto look at him with an evil gleam in his eye.
(I had….his saddlebag.)
Chiron grimaced, remembering that time. He wish he didn't had to leave, though everything came out for the better.
(I guess….centaur form.)
"I do." Chiron said, who is now in his centaur form. "It's more comfortable than being in that wheelchair." PJ look at him in shock. How come he didn't notice the centaur before?
(As soon….total rapture.)
….
Everyone burst out laughing while Chiron grumbled. He is not a pony!
(Chiron turned….to her.)
"He is like a second or real father to all of us." Percy said, getting nods from all the greek demigods. Frank, Hazel, and Reyna was mildly surprised that a centaur would be something like that for the demigods while the male Olympians who had kids frown in jealousy.
Octavion sneered. "The greeks have strange taste, having a wild centaur for a-" Before he knew it, waves a water splash onto him. When the water was gone, seaweed was on his head while a fish was in his mouth.
"That should shut him up." Percy said, stifling a laugh. The others did no such thing and laughed, especially the Romans. They were tired of Octavian's attitude.
(Chiron ruffled….punish someone.")
"Other than himself, you mean?" Naruto said, glaring at Dionysus.
Dionysus cross his arm. "Well, my future me doesn't want any more years. And I don't either."
"Cause that would be a tragedy if you were punished." Percy said sarcastically. "You and Zeus are both idiots." He grumbled quietly. Dionysus eyes glowed purple while Zeus hands crackled with electricity, but they didn't say anything.
("Besides himself….a centaur.")
"Sorry Pony." Tyson said sheepishly. Chiron sigh while everyone else laugh.
("Chiron," I….in Olympus!)
"How many times do I have to say that it's not him?!" Zeus cried out. No one say anything, deciding to let Zeus be trapped in his own fantasy.
(This has….that traitor.")
"Who's Luke?" PJ asked innocently. Those that know of Luke, flinch.
Annabeth smile weakly. "Luke was….a friend turned enemy." Nico, the Stolls, and Thalia's eyes darken.
("Perhaps," Chiron….cure it.)
"Again, Zeus and Dionysus are idiots."
Zeus growled. "Watch it demigod. Once I get my bolt back, I will smite you into oblivion."
"You will not, if you don't want a war." Poseidon threatened. Zeus was about to say something else, when he saw Naruto glaring at both of them. The two of them sat back, glaring at one another.
"It's like babysitting a bunch of kids." Naruto muttered, holding his head.
(The tree….centuries ago.")
Jason's eyes widen. The Golden Fleece! That is the only thing he can think of that would heal the tree.
("What is….not leave.")
"You're not going to listen, are you?" Poseidon asked dryly.
Percy smirk. "The sea can't be contained."
"You're going to give me a heart attack son, and gods don't get heart attacks."
"Well I'm glad he doesn't listen to others." Thalia muttered, crossing her arms. "Otherwise, I would've died a painful death." Chiron flinch a little at that.
("Why?" I….your life.")
"But if no one doesn't do anything about it, Thalia would've died and the whole camp fallen down." Ayame said. "That's a lose-lose situation there."
Chiron sighed at that. Now that he thinks about it, he is glad that Percy doesn't follow orders. Otherwise, many people would be dead.
(It was….on Olympus.)
"He is not coming-"
Naruto snaps his finger, causing Zeus to go silent as he screams. "Whenever he gets into denial, this will happen. We can save our eardrums then." Everyone was very thankful for that. Zeus yelling in denial was getting annoying, even his sons, Hercules and Jason, thinks that.
(He couldn't….her friends?)
"Had-"
"If I was that low, I would've done it they she did." Hades interrupted Zeus, glaring at him. "Be careful where you put your accusations brother." Persephone lay a hand on Hades'' hand, causing him to calm down. Persephone has that ability to do that.
(Annabeth was…. "I-I will.")
Athena frown. Her daughter have to go with the sea spawn, again.
("Um…"...from camp-")
Percy glare at Zeus. "He knew the consequences and yet he did it anyway." Another thing he hate Zeus about. Blaming others for things they couldn't control.
("Swear you….activities director.)
"I swear, if this counselor is the same one I thinking off…." Naruto said darkly, glaring at Zeus and Dionysus. Ayame is also glaring at them, as well as clutching Kushina closer to her.
(We must….I fear.")
"Now that just lifts the spirit." Will said sarcastically. He turn to the counselor. "Seriously, Chiron, work on your pep talk." Chiron rub his head sheepishly.
("Who is….about it.)
"I beated the crap out of the person who put it on my back." Clarisse commented nonchalantly. Leo made a note to himself NEVER to do something like that to Clarisse. Or any of the Ares campers.
(After the….American kid.)
Percy flinch at the mention of Beckendorf. He still felt guilty for what happened to him, even though everyone said that it wasn't his fault.
Annabeth grab his hand when she saw him flinch. "It's not your fault Percy." She whispered. "You couldn't do anything about it." Percy nodded, but he still didn't feel any better.
(He had….make anything.)
Leo is milking in everything about Beckendorf. After all, he is taking the former counselor's role now and he want to know everything about his late half-brother.
(Give him….you wanted.)
Leo whistled. "I have a lot to live up to."
"You are starting to." Piper whispered. "The Argo II, remember?" Leo beam at her. He can't wait to complete that baby.
(The other….a demigod.)
"It so different from our camp." Reyna said. "Our fauns don't do any important jobs. They are mostly beggars."
"You should change that." Grover grumbled darkly. Juniper patted his leg in sympathy.
(After the….kill me.)
"Great friend." Perseus said sarcastically. He turn to the younger demigods. "Was he the one that poisoned the tree?"
No answer.
"Yeah, just checking."
(Now the….Connor Stoll.)
"WOOHOO, we're mentioned!" The Stolls brother cheered. The two of them got slapped upside the head by Katie Gardner.
(They weren't….your shirt.)
"They actually did that once." Percy said with a shudder. "That was not fun."
Annabeth glares in the direction of the Stolls. "And I chased them through half of camp with my knife." Travis and Connor gulp at the memory. Annabeth is scary when you mess with her boyfriend. Vice versa for Percy.
(I'd always….the joke.)
"Seriously?" Leo said, incredulously, looking at the Stolls. "Even I get the joke."
"And we all know that Leo don't have a sense of humor."
"Yeah, I don't-Piper!"
The girl merely giggle at him. As much as Leo is offended by that, he is glad that Piper is opening up more. If she didn't anytime soon, he would've fried Orion again.
(As soon….table murmured.)
Poseidon glares at Apollo, who raise his hand in surrender. "Hey, I don't have control of what my kids say."
Poseidon still glare at him, until Naruto gave him a look of disapproval. He grunted, but stopped the glare.
(I glared….who'd spoken.)
"Well that guy, and half my cabin mates, peed their pants when they saw that glare." Will said. Like everyone said, Percy glares are very scary.
(From the….is complete.")
PJ frowned. "My name isn't Peter."
"You get used to it." Percy sighed.
(I gritted….the casinos.)
PJ look at Dionysus. "He really does look like that."
PJ suddenly screamed when grape vines wrapped around him. Rachel, Annabeth, Reyna, and the older Percy jump back in shock while Dionysus eyes glow purple. Before he could strangle the boy, shurikens suddenly cut the vines without injuring PJ and Naruto stood in front of Dionysus in a literal flash.
"Dionysus." Naruto growled, glaring at him with red eyes. "If you attack a child one more time, I will take away your powers. And instead of taking care of the camp half-blood kids, I will have you be a servant in the demon world. Understood?" Dionysus paled and nodded rapidly. He would rather take care of those brats instead of working with demons. Primordial demons.
(Behind him….a time.)
Artemis glares at him. "Those satyrs are not your slaves Dionysus."
"Hey, I have to have them be of use somehow." Dionysus commented. He suddenly paled when he felt a malicious aura and looks to see Naruto glaring at him.
"You will not use them as slaves. If you do so again, I will make you have a power of a mortal. Understood?"
"Understood!" Dionysus said in a high pitch voice. He really hope that Naruto only take out his anger at Zeus instead of him when they figure out who's the new camp counselor is.
Artemis beamed at her adopted father. "Thank you daddy!"
"No problem my little huntress."
(Mr. D….wood nymph.)
"Hey, I couldn't help myself." Dionysus defended himself.
Naruto roll his eyes. "That's because you gods don't know how to keep it in your pants." Some of the gods either look offended or embarrassed while the goddesses, Rhea, primordials, and demigods nodded in agreement.
(Next to….same time.)
….
Everyone suddenly felt malicious intent coming from both Naruto and Ayame, both eyes looking red. Ayame slowly turn to Zeus, who is looking very pale.
"You…." Ayame whispered, a very dangerous whispered that would make a lesser man faint. "Hired a man who killed children? Who served you those children?!"
Zeus started breathing rapidly. He never felt so scared in his immortal life. "M-M-My future self must has a good-"
"No reason is good enough to to hired this piece of trash." Naruto growled, his voice turning demonic. Before either of them could do anything rash, Yugito and Fuu held the two's hand, slowly calming down. Once their eyes stopped glowing red, they continued glaring at Zeus. "You're lucky that Fuu and Yugito stopped us from making you fade. But rest assure, I'm considering having you replaced as king. Maybe talk to Chaos about it."
Zeus merely paled even further at that.
("This boy….more trouble.")
"Says the child eater." Percy retorted, wanting to cut Tantalus up right now. The guy was worse than Smelly Gabe. At least the guy doesn't consider eating him.
("Trouble?" I….Torches Gymnasium.)
"I got into the news?" PJ said with wide eyes. He turn to his older self. "Did I got into the news before and after this?"
"Too many times." Percy said with a groan. He wonder why didn't FBI didn't chase after him yet. After all, most of the things he did deserved it.
("Yes, trouble….civil war?)
"Yes." Zeus grunts while Poseidon said, "No." The two of them glare at each other.
Fuu roll her eyes. "Like it was Percy fault that he was born. Or that the bolt was stolen."
(A satyr….the brazier.)
Naruto smirked sadistically. "Good punishment for that sicko." Ayame nodded in agreement, with the same smirk. Many scooted away from the two.
"A barbeque going suicide." Piper commented with a giggle. Leo chuckle as well.
("Blast!" Tantalus….my camp.")
"So the weakening barrier, poisoned tree, and monsters attacking them isn't a problem?" Reyna asked incredulously. She wonder why on earth Jupiter would hire this man. The more she reads, the more respect the gods lose from the romans here.
("Your camp….overgrown brat.)
Dionysus growled. That boy is lucky that primordials are watching them, otherwise, he would've turn him into a dolphin by now.
(I said….with it.")
"Hades." Poseidon gritted out. "I would to have a chat with that man."
Hades raise an eyebrow. "I can set that up, but I'm not so sure he'll know what you're talking about."
"I don't care. I probably won't do much talking anyway. More like hitting."
("Him," I….is Tyson.")
"Thank you for defending me Percy." Tyson said to him, getting his brother to smile back at him.
(The new….Dionysus snickered.)
Dionysus shrink under the glares being sent at him. Naruto glare is the worst. "You better do a better job with protecting the camp, otherwise, I will come back and change you into a grape."
Dionysus nodded rapidly. He does not want a taste of his own medicine.
("Leave us….creature's fate.")
"I'm going to have a long talk with him." Poseidon said darkly.
(Tyson looked….about it.)
'I am glad he disobeyed that order.' Chiron thought. While he doesn't approve of disobeying one orders, he can make an exception for Percy since he does it for the right things.
(I didn't….really listening.)
"It does." Poseidon said. He hope that his future self will help his son soon.
(I went….to eat.")
"He is already dead, he is already dead, he is already dead." Naruto muttered, trying (And failing) to control his anger. Ayame is chanting the same thing as well. With the wolves growling, but the most came from the female red wolf alpha.
As well as the Olympians that have children. All of them are glaring at Zeus, who squirm at the glares.
(Dionysus clapped….chariot races!")
"SAY WHAT?!" All of the Olympians and Roman demigods shouted. Is that man insane?! Wait, dumb question.
(Murmuring broke….days time.)
"Is he mad?" Reyna exclaimed. "They need to do border patrolling, not chariot races!"
"I'm guessing he hopes for some blood." Ayame muttered darkly.
"Or to see some demigods die." Naruto muttered darkly. "I think that feeding him to the wolves will not be a good idea. It would cause some stomach pain."
(We will….the tree-")
"He doesn't care." Was several responses from gods, demi gods, and primordials.
("And now….kill Tantalus.)
"Now if he wasn't dead already…." Rachel muttered.
Clarisse looks at Rachel. "That is one of the first times I agree with you."
("Now, of….pointed sticks.)
Poseidon started to shake with anger while Tyson whimpered a little. PJ frown.
"That guy is a jerk." Percy said, crossing his arms. He wince when his arm went in contact with his wrist.
(But who….cabin, possibly?")
Hermes grimace at that. His cabin can't hold any more campers, let alone a six foot cyclop. Travis and Connor grimaced as well.
(Silence at….be kenneled?")
The shaking of Poseidon's throne is harder.
(Suddenly everybody….family resemblance!")
By now, cracks formed under Poseidon. Not only is he going to torture Tantalus, but he's thinking of sending an earthquake at camp.
"Poseidon!" Naruto barked at him. "I know you're angry, but do not let that anger control you!" Poseidon calmed down, but he is still look bitter.
Meanwhile, Tyson is trying so hard not to cry. He hated it when he gets picked on.
(Everybody laugh….people were.)
"I do now." Tyson said glumly. He understand that too well.
(But I….half-brother.)
"That doesn't sound bad." PJ said. "In fact, that sounds cool." Tyson smile widely at PJ's word.
'But that wasn't what I thought.' Percy thought in his head. Speaking of which, he should distract Tyson when they are on that part. He doesn't want to hurt Tyson's feeling in anyway. "Anyway, who wants to read next?"
"I will." Reyna said, grabbing the book. She turn the page. "Chapter 6: Demon Pigeon Attacks…."
Spirit: And that's the end. I wonder if any of you share the same hate I have for the child eater. What kind of sick person do what he did?
Phoenix: Agreed. Now Spirit and I were wondering If we should put Hera with Naruto or keep her single. Let us know please.
Spirit: Or soon to be single. While Hera isn't my favorite goddess, I don't think she deserve to be with someone like Zeus.
Phoenix: Naruto would treat her how she should have been treated by Zeus AS A QUEEN.
Spirit: But I know some of you might not like the pairing and might flame me if I do that.
Phoenix: But it is a rare pairing and if we do the pairing you want to flame us. Then they belong in the trash because we don't want to hear it or read it at all.
Spirit: So we're asking you readers if we should do or not. I'm on the side of caution, where we shouldn't pair Hera with Naruto while Phoenix wants the pairing, since it rare. You decide.
Phoenix: Also give your reason why.
Spirit: Review, favorite, and follow and we will see you later.
