New York Obituary: Percy Jackson, Age Eighteen, Passed away on August Eighteen due a freak satellite accident. Percy is survived by his mother, Sally Jackson, Step-Father, Paul Blofis, and younger Half-sister, Estelle Blofis. Many of Percy's friends remarked that Percy was kind, loyal, and selfless. Percy is to be buried in his family plot next to Grandfather, James, Grandmother, Estelle, and Great-uncle, Richard.
At Camp HalfBlood the Demigods held their own funeral for their fallen friend/hero. A blue shroud decorated with seashells and bits of celestial bronze was presented as farewell. Not Greek and Roman demigods and creatures came but also Egyptian mages and Norse Einherjar came to mourn. Carter and Sadie Kane came to give their condolences.
Magnus Chase came to support his grieving cousin. His friends came along to support their Greek counterparts. THe Huntress of Artemis themselves came to acknowledge one of the few men who their Mistress recognized. Thalia wore all black leather with black ray bans to hide her bloodshot eyes.
Jason Grace stood at a podium wearing a black roman robe and suit mixture, he tapped on the microphone. "Hello everybody, first I want to thank our visiting Egyptians and Norse guests for being able to make the trip along with the Huntress of Artemis." Jason said. He took a breath. "Percy Jackson, he was one of a kind. You looked at him and saw some smartmouth trouble maker, but when you got to know him you gotta know much more. He was loyal as can be, funny as hell, and…and a person you could trust with anything."
Several wipe their eyes with handkerchiefs and kleenexes. Tyson used a beach towl, "Buuther." he sobbed as Ella the harpy comforted him. Jason continued, "None of us chose to be part of these worlds, Percy especially, but did he surrender? No, if anything he fought harder than any of us. He accepted any challenge no matter the odds and kept his head up."
Frank wrapped his arm around a crying Hazel. Calypso held Leo who had his face buried in his hands. Thaila bit her lower lip in an attempt to be strong but couldn't prevent the tears from falling
"One of the greatest pains I ever felt was when I lost someone dear to me and Percy has hurted me the most, because he was more than a friend to me, he was my brother!" Jason sobbed, causing many more to break down. "I just hope now since he left the mortal world that he found peace in the next, and I am glad to have known the hero known as Percy Jackson."
Percy's shroud was placed on a funeral pyre and lit up, his friends watched as the blue shroud became black and dissolved to ash. Nico watches from the treeline mourning Percy in his own way, his first love voice repeating in his head over and over.
"Gay-Gay-Homosexual-Gay!"
Intermission.
The Strongest Team stared at the wreckage of their guild, over a dozen metal spikes sticking out the building. Natsu growled, "Who did this!?" Percy brushed his bangs back, "I just know I'm the one going to clean this up," The sound of wheels grew noticeable, "You guys are back!" Elfman yelled, he was pulling a line of carts of supplies for repairing the guild.
"Elfman, what in the world happened?" Erza asked, Elfman sighed and slicked his hair back, "Two nights ago a member from Phantom Lord attack the place, luckily no one was here, but the place is unstable as hell, so everyone in the basement,"
"Phantom Lord? Who are they?" Lucy asked. "Their a rival guild," Erza said analyzing the situation, "Strange, even though we never been on good terms to suddenly attack us,"
Natsu punched his fist into his other hand, "Well now a special Fairy Tail style asswhooping!" Elfman spat, "Fucking cowards, they should attacks us like real men!"
"Should they now?" Lucy said with a nervous sweat drop. Percy groans looking at the damage, it brings back the memories of all the times Camp Half-Blood was attacked. "Well, enough standing around lets back in," Erza order, Percy turn to Elfman, "My man, you need help with the repairs," Elfman had an annoyed look, but it not at Percy, "Sorry but we still haven't got the permit to repair this, all we can do is gather supplies for now,"
"Man, fucking bureaucrats!"
"I know man!"
"Man!"
"MAN!"
Down in the basement it was clear that the Fairy Tails pride had taken a hit, there were only two drunken brawls that day. The Master then proceeded to punish Natsu, Happy, Lucy, and Gray.
"Bad!" He karate chopped Natsu's head, "Bad!" He then chopped Happy's head, "Bad!" He chopped Gray's head, "Bad girl!" Maravok slapped Lucy on the butt. "Ok why?"
"Well, I'm happy you all came back in one piece, back don't ever steal an S-rank quest again!" Then Makarov went back to reading his magazine, "Hmmm, looks like they got a new Miss September," and turned the page.
"So what do we do now?" Percy asked, usually after the Camp was attacked there would be immediate action, Makarov turned to the next page not answering, "Master, we would all like to know what to do?" Erza said.
"Nothin," The master licked his finger and turned the page, "Hoo, a new Miss November as well," the old pervert whistle while the Fairy Tail Alpha Team were shocked. Natsu growled, "WHAT THE HELL YA MEAN BY NOTHING!"
"Yeah Gramps! We can't just let this slide!" Gray said while taking off his shirt. Erza agreed with them but remained silent. Makarov hopped up, "Gotta take a dump." he skedaddled to the toilet, leaving the Golden Team with no answer for their next action.
"Glad you all made it back," Mirajane said walking up to them, despite the smile on her face she was just upset as everyone else, "How ya doing MJ?" Percy asked his coworker, Mirajane tilted her head a little, "I have been better."
"Mira! Why aren't we doing anything about our guild being attacked!?" Natsu said steaming, The albino waitress sighed, "Because fighting between guilds is serious, so serious the magic council will get involved."
"And what do bureaucrats asshats going to do?" Percy raised an eyebrow. Mira continued, "Look, the Council is biased, but their not blind, and if Phantom Lord continues they will be the ones to suffer the consequences,"
Erza sighed, "I suppose, and we will follow the Master's order, won't we?" Gray just nodded, and Natsu kept growling for another before stopping, "Fine." Lucy had an uneasy look, she had been only a member of Fairy Tail a few months, now the Guild was under attack, seeing the downcasted expressions on her fellow guild members made her just sorrowful.
Percy noticed something was off, "Hey, um, MJ," "Hmm?" Percy saw that something was missing, "Um, where is everything?" Mira still had her sweet smile but she was not looking Percy in the eye, a nervous sweat appeared on her. "Where are, you know, um, the supplies?"
Mira did her best to look innocent, "Whatever do you mean?"
"Oh you know, the crates and barrels containing food, brooze, cleaning and other miscellaneous items need to keep the guild running, um, where are they?"
"Ehehehe," Mirajane laughed uneasily and rubbed the back of her neck, "Well, you see, we move the supplies somewhere else,"
Percy shrugged his shoulders, "Ok, where?"
Intermission.
Percy opened the door to his house and his face fell, "Noooooo," he was greeted by dozens of crates and barrels taking up his space, "Why Mira! Why!"
Mirajane just giggled innocently, "Sorry," she said in the sweetest tone. Percy tried to slip in through the crafts while his friends watched him. "Wow, how insensitive of them," Gray said, Natsu nodded, "Yeah they should have respected Percy's personal space."
Happy nodded, "Aye Sir." Several angry ticks marks appeared on Lucy, "ARE YOU GUYS FREAKING KIDDING ME!?"
"Guys, I'm stuck." Percy was squashed by two towers of stacked crafts, he stuck out his arm and Erza, Natsu, and Gray pulled him out, and Percy got several splinters in the process. One of the front windows opened and Cana crawled out and landed in a shrub, she was holding a liquor bottle and wearing one Percy's shirt.
"Cana?" everyone asked, Cana waved at them, "Hey everybody," The drunken card mage stood up and eyed Percy and gave a vixen's smile, "Percy!" she rushed to him and hugged him, "Oh Percy, it's sooo terrible that Guild was wrecked and the bar was shut down. I'm so sad! Comfort me!"
"Umm," Percy patted her back, "There, there," Erza bloodlust grew and Mirajane let out a jealous whine. "Cana, why were you in my house? And is that my shirt?" Cana look up at him and rest her chin on his chest, "That's where all the booze is, why wouldn't I be here,"
"And the shirt?" Cana stood back and looked down at the blue Fairy Tail shirt that said, 'I Didn't Do It.', "Oh yeah, last night was a blur, lets see, oh yeah! I tried to get in through the door and windows but they were locked, so I climb up on the roof, made a hole in the roof-"
"You what!" Percy looked up at his roof. Happy flew above, "Aye, there's a big hole alright," a tanuki crawled out and ran off with a cereal box. "Then I spilled some whiskey on myself and on a bunch of your stuff, and decided to wear one of your shirts," Cana explained, she brushed some ants off herself, and wrapped herself around Percy again. "I'm sorry about breaking into your house."
Erza and Mira each grabbed Cana and pulled her off the demigod. "Cana, I am very disappointed in your behavior," Erza said, Mirajane nodded in agreement, "It is wrong to break into someone home,"
Cana laughed, "Mira, you're the one who kicked his door open." Percy's jaw dropped, "You what!?" Mira held up her hands, "Now calm down, I had it replaced," Percy now noticed that yes his front door had been replaced, so that's why his key didn't work and why Mira key did.
"So you guys broke into my house, destroyed my door, and filled my living space with boxes and crafts and I also assume that spiders, roaches, and rats were placed in there as well." Percy said, examining his current situation, "I can't get in, so where am I supposed to stay?"
"You can stay with me!" Erza, Mirajane, and Cana said in perfect synchrony. Percy was taken back by how people were able to talk in sync with one another. "Big bro, why don't you just crash at Lucy's," Lucy spin kicked Natsu and sent him flying, "That is not for you to decide!"
Mirajane had her classic sweet smile but the aura around seem smug, "Erza, Cana, might I remind that both of you live at Fairy Hills, the girls only dorms," Erza glared at the white hair Take-over Mage, "Fine, make sure that you are a kind and generous hostess to him!"
Mira said sweetly, "Don't worry, I will be on my best behavior," the glint in eye said otherwise, Percy was glad he had a place to stay tonight, he saw the tanuki and his family enter his home through a giant hole in his roof. "Cana, can I have that shirt back," Cana smirked and took off Percy's shirt, revealing she wasn't wearing her bikini top or bra under it. Percy, Natus, Gray, and Happy stared bug eye at Cana exposed double E cups.
"CANA!" Erza, Mira and Lucy shouted, Cana laughed causing her girls to bounce, "Oh please there are just tits, I mean Lucy milkers are bigger than mine," Lucy covered her chest, "Don't bring me into this!"
"Gray, is your stripping habit contagious?" Natsu asked, his pupils dilated. "I sure hope so," Gray responded, his pupil equally large. Percy snapped out of his trance, "C-Cana! Put those away!" He held up his hands in defense, Cana still feeling mischievous, grabbed Percy's left hand with her right and placed it on her right breast causing everyone's jaws to drop, Percy, even his hair and clothes, became solid white. Cana held out her left hand, "That will be twenty thousand jewels." Percy's soul then flew out of his mouth.
Erza put an end to all this by punching Cana in the back of the head, knocking out Magnolia' drinking champion.
Intermission.
The Strauss Home was lovely, a single story cottage that looked right out of a story book. With Happy's help Percy managed to recover some spare clothes and his toothbrush from his cluster home. Mira unlocked the front door, "Welcome to the Strauss home." Percy was greeted by a warm, cozy atmosphere.
An intoxicating aroma invaded Percy's nostril causing him to drool, "Whoa! What smells so good?" Mirajane smiled sweetly, "I was cooking a roast," Percy wiped the drool off his chin, "So, where do I sleep?" Mira went over to the hall and came back with a futon mattress, blanket, and pillow. "We just need to move some furniture to set up your sleeping area." moving the couch and coffee table aside Percy's sleeping area was set up.
"I'm going to check on dinner," Mira then headed off the kitchen. Percy was consisting of fortune he was, a place to sleep and a hot meal made by one of the most beautiful women he ever meant. The same woman who stripped naked for him. And now he was in her house, just the two of them.
Percy was as still as possible, but his skin began to below neon red and steam began to come off him. 'Ok Percy, it's no big deal!' the SuperEgo monologue, then the other half of his brain spoke, "NO BIG DEAL!? This is the woman who willfully stripped for us! Heck! We know what shade of pink her nipples are, Cherry blossom!"
"Yes but she did it as a form of apology," Superego said, Percy Id facepalm, "After she peeped on us you dunderhead! The woman was spying on our naked frame!"
"It means nothing," Superego said leaving his Id counter baffle, "Are we really this dense?"
While Percy's consciousness continued to argue, Elfman entered, "Percy?" Percy greeted him, "Sup man, I'm staying for a while," Elfman nodded, "Ah yeah, we stuffed your house with stuff from the guild. Oh yeah I owe you some jewels for eating some of your food and breaking a chair, table, and your fridge."
"Does anyone in this world understand privacy and respect for one's possessions?" Percy groaned, Elfman gave a friendly, manly back pat comically knocking him down. "Don't worry bud I will pay you back, this I swear as a man!" Mira giggled, "Well, dinner will be ready in another hour or so," Elfman grabbed Percy and dragged him off, "Come let's workout until dinner!"
Elfman's gym consists of oversize weights that look like they belong to old timey weightlifters. "Come on! You call yourself a man! Come on! Just two more you pansy!" Elfman roared as Percy struggled to finish his set, bench pressing weights of the size tractor tires. Finally, drenched in sweat with burning muscles Percy completes his last rep.
"YEAH! YEAH!" Elfman roared as he pulled Percy up, "I…did it."
"Boys, dinner ready." Mira called. Elfman could smell the food. "Alright! Sis made pot roast!" and rushed in. Percy, breathing hard and drenched with sweat, decided to clean himself out. Percy could dry himself off thanks to his abilities, but sweat was different, he could dry himself off but the grime would be left behind. Percy stepped into the shower, with his clothes on, and washed the grime off and then used his abilities to dry himself off.
He felt a little dizzy, whatever abilities he could use now drained him. Giving himself a moment he went to join his hosts for dinner. Down the hall Percy walked past the bedrooms and a name caught his attention, "Hmm," looking closely he read it aloud, "Lis…Lisanna."
Who was Lisanna? "Percy, everything alright?" Mira called, "Yeah, just getting clean up."
For dinner Mirajane made her famous pot roast, a gigantic green beast with purple spotted meat with six legs along with roasted potatoes, and red veggies that looked like brussel sprouts.
"Huh?" Percy said a giant slab of meat was placed on his plate. Mira and Elfman placed their hands together and said "Itadakimasu!" Percy confusedly repeated, "Huh, itadakimasu." and everyone began eating. Naturally Elfman ate a lot, but to Percy's shock Mira was eating the same, if not more than her brother.
Percy hesitantly took a bite of the green meat and it was delicious; warm, flavorful and mouth melting. Percy began eating like he never ate food before. Mira giggled, "Percy, you potato on your face, hey," Mira leaned over with a napkin to wipe his face off. Percy began to fight her off, "Mira, wait, I'm a grown man-Hey! Stop!" Mira was successful and Percy was flustered. Elfman laughed and said, "That Mira for you! Everyone's big sister!"
Percy smiled and got over it, "Hey guys, who is Lisanna?"
. The warm atmosphere grew dim, the joyful Strauss sibling became glum. Elfman began picking at his food with his fork. Mira stared at her dinner with dull eyes. "Lisanna, she was our…sister."
Thankfully Percy was able to read the room, "Oh man, guys I'm so sorry." Mira gave him a small smile, "It's fine." Percy knew not to press on, but decided to share something about himself. "My mom died, but really the King of the Underworld kidnapped her. That caught attention as they stared at him in confusion. Percy told the tale of how he discovered he was a Demigod, being a Fury, the Minotaur attack, Camp Halfblood, and how he was accused of stealing the Master Bolt.
"Wait a minute," Elfman cutted Percy in the middle of tale, "So you were accused of stealing the bolt, despite the fact that you never even knew that your gods existed," Percy nodded, "Yeah, because i'm the son of Poseidon, I will was blame."
"But still, they had no other evidence, and hell you didn't have any motivation for stealing it." Elfman was not known for brains, but he could understand the ridiculous circumstance Percy went through. Percy nodded and ate another piece of roast. The pot roast was now just a pile of bones and grizzle.
"Wow, Percy you've been through a lot," Mira was concerned. Children could join guilds but on mission were restricted and supervised by senior members. Mirajane's first mission was home cleaning. Percy's first quest was a thousand times more difficult than Mira's first S-rank mission. Only eighteen years old and every single quest Percy ever been on was S-rank. Mira gave Percy's hand squeeze. "You've been through alot," Mira said, "Hopefully you find happiness here." Percy smiled, he was really glad that was welcome here.
Elfman gave a big smile. Ever since the 'incident' he always looked for Mira. But he knows that he can't always be, so he has been looking for the right man he can trust, and he found him. "Say Percy, did you know that my sister is a famous model?" Elfman said proudly.
Percy raised an eyebrow and Mira smiled, "I model for Sorcerer Weekly every now and then, and Mages Monthly, and Witch's Wear, and Magic Model Magazine," Mira listed the companies she worked for.
"Wow, well you're certainly model material MJ," Percy said, causing Mira to blush. Elfman grinned, "Mirajane, how about you show Percy some of your pictures." Mirajane nodded and went to receive her photo album of her favorite shots.
Percy and Mirajane sat on the couch, she showed her earliest work. Her summer wear, Winter coats, summer dresses, casual and formal, Percy breath was taken away, he was aware that Mira was beautiful but seeing these photos made his heart race. As Mira continued Percy began to notice a pattern; the clothes were becoming more revealing, and Mirajane poses were becoming more erotic.
"I loved this bikini, and this one was also a favorite, though what do you think, white or black?" Mira asked, showing two shots of herself in swimwear. A drop of blood landed on the album. Blood poured out of Percy's nose from seeing the arousing photos. "Y-yeah."
Mira got Percy a towel. Percy liked the black bikini, it complemented well with Mirajane white hair and pale skin.
Being the guest Percy got the first shower. Then Elfman had his shower, and then Mira had her's. Dressed in Pajamas she found Percy and Elfman talking about the attack.
"So, why were we attacked?" Percy asked out loud to get the gears working. Elfman began thinking with his man's brain. "Did Fairy Tail upset Phantom Lord? Did we take a job they wanted? Did we fight with some of them in the past?"
"They attacked the guild when no one was there, most likely to avoid a fight," Percy said, "But they should expect some retaliation from us," Elfman nodded, "A real man would attack up front and in the daylight," Percy agreed, "So Phantom Lord has no real men."
"Ok boys it's getting late," Mirajane said, "Ahhh!" Percy and Elfman groaned. Everyone said goodnight and went to bed. Percy laid on his futon staring at the ceiling. The noises of the clock ticking and chirping crickets. 'How did I get here?' One day he was a normal, troublesome kid, then he was a demigod, then he fought in war, then he got amnesia, fought in another war, and now he was in a completely different universe with the possibility of joining a turf war between wizards.
He had family, friends, a girlfriend, he had done more in a single summer than entire groups would have in a year. Sighing he got up unable to sleep. Percy never thought it would come to this; was going to read a book.
Just kidding, he chose a photo album(hopefully Mira's photoshoot) . He grabbed one and turned on a lamp. The photos were of the Strauss Family, no parents though. Just three white hair siblings. Things must have been very different back then, because Mira looked ready to kill someone and Elfman looked timid as your average soyboy.
The youngest must have been Lisanna. She looked energetic, sweet, the kind of girl who gets along with anyone. He went through the photos watching the sibling grow; and then the album ended. Looking at the date of the last photo and then the date on the calendar, Percy concluded that Lisanna died three years ago.
Bad memories came back to him. He understood what older Strauss Siblings felt. Percy slipped back into the futon and went to sleep.
Intermissions.
Mirajane woke up to the smell of something cooking and music playing, strange, did she leave the oven and radio on. Donning her robe, Mira went to the kitchen, finding Percy standing in front of the stove flipping pancakes, humming loudly with the radio.
"The Ace of Spades, The Ace of Spades," Percy sang, which did not match the music playing. "If you like to gamble-Morning MJ!" Percy flipped the pancake onto the plate next to him. "Percy, you're making breakfast?"
"No, I'm just practicing making pancakes," he playfully snarked. He flipped another pancake on the plate, "Don't worry i'll throw these out."
"What a waste of pancakes," Mira said, the smell of fried batter causing her stomach to rumble. "I better try them and see how they taste," Percy smirked, "You sure? They're probably terrible."
Mira took out the butter and syrup, "We'll never know unless i try one," Percy flipped another one onto the pile of pancakes, "Ok, but one condition, teach me the spell that turns stuff the color blue." Mira stood next to him, "Ok, hold your hand over the food and focus your magic into that hand," Percy nodded and followed her instructions. "Now think of the color," Percy thought of the shade of boy's blue.
The pancakes became boy's blue, Percy had a big smile, yes no need for food dye, just good ol' fashion magic. Mira was surprised, usually it takes a few minutes if not hours to learn the spell. But when Percy slices the pancake in half it shows that inside remains a whitish yellow. "Oh man,"
"Don't fret, usually most beginners only have a few spots appear, the fact you color the entire outside is amazing." Mirajane said, Percy nodded and went back to cooking. Yawning, Elfman joined them, seeing Percy and Mira together cooking made him smile. He then wonders if he could take Percy on in a fight. He fought evenly with Erza in a sword fight and from what he heard about he is definitely a skilled fighter. But in terms of magic he was below average.
'No, if we fought he most likely would win, but as my honor as a MAN, I will fight him!' focusing more on Percy, his head immediately snapped toward Elfman, 'What? He sensed me from a slight glare!'
"Oh good Morning, something wrong Elfman?" Percy asked, A sweat drop went down Elfman temple, "Well, i was trying to measure your power, and see where I compared,"
"Ah," Percy said, "be careful, Demigods have a very heightened battle sense, you could set me off by accident," Elfman sat down and a plate of pancakes slid to him, "Now eat up!" Percy's pancakes were delicious, his mother's recipe. So soft and fluffy that you could breathe them in. It made him happy seeing people enjoy his cooking.
After breakfast everyone got ready and headed out for today. Walking with The Strauss siblings, Percy felt a presence appear. "Good morning," Erza greeted with Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy tolling behind. "Mornin Red," Percy waved despite being a few feet away. As everyone greets one another, Percy notices that Lucy looks tired.
"Those four spent the night over and I barely got a wink of sleep!" Lucy cried, Percy patted her head, "There, there Lulu, it couldn't have been that bad."
"Gray stripped naked, Natsu ate all my food, and Erza and Happy went through my belongings!" Lucy complained. Happy flew over them, "Aye, and Lucy has lots of naughty underwear!" Lucy leaped up and swatted at the flying cat, "Shut yer trap your loud mouth furball!" Erza chimed in, "I was quite surprised by Lucy exotic taste," Percy blushed as Erza casually talked about Lucy underwear.
"That's it! you're all banned from my place!" Lucy yelled at her teammates, "Ah come on Lucy, your place is really nice, much better than me and Happy place," Natsu said, "Aye, our home is a dump." Happy agreed. "Then clean it up!" Lucy barked.
Everyone began laughing. It wasn't eight thirty yet and Percy was already laughing. 'So this is my life now.' he thought as he looked at his new friends. "Percy, let me and you spar today!" Elfman said, puffing his chest out, "fight like real men!"
"No Way!" Natsu roared, "He's fighting me today!" Elfman got in Natsu's face, "I called first!" Natsu pressed his forehead against Elfman's and began pushing. The two began growling at each other, Mira had her sweet smile, "Oh my, we haven't even reached the Guild yet." Erza effortlessly pushed the two apart. "Please! Not in public!"
"Rock-Paper-scissors to fight me!" Percy ordered, and Natsu and Elfman began a long string of ties.
"GUYS!" someone yelled, looking, all saw Max and Warren running to them. "Hey guys, what's going on?" Gray asked, stripping.
"Team Shadow Gear, Phantom Lord attack them!" Max saiding.
"WHAT!?" shock went through them.
"Come on!" Warren said, and everyone followed to the town park. A large crowd gathering, in the center tree, team Shadow Gear members Levy, Jet, and Droy were bolted to the tree. Beaten and humiliated as it appeared that each had been branded with the Phantom Lord symbol. Percy could sense the various emotions; Rage, fear, anxiety, and disgust.
Mirajane placed her hand over mouth, "Oh no." Natsu's forehead veins pulsed with fury. Erza's rage grew. Lucy was shocked, how can they be so brutal. Percy didn't know what to make of this, he never saw a body hung out for display. Then Percy felt immense pressure, like a giant's foot about to step on him. People out of The Master way, "So this is the length?" Makarov stood and looked up at his children, "they can slander us, destroy the guild. But, go after my children," Makarov snapped his staff in half. "They want a war, they got one!"
Intermission.
Thankfully Team Shadowgear was not branded, it was just paint. Percy and Mirajane scrubbed the paint off and bandaged them.
Percy and Mira stay to look over Levy and her teammates, everyone else went off to fight Phantom Lord. A few others stay behind including Lucy. The poor girl had no idea what to do and decided to go for a walk. Soon a raindrop landed on her shoulder, "Huh?" several drops landed on her and the sky became cloudy, "Oh great," she quickly ran under awning.
"Drip,drip,drip,drip," a blue-haired woman said. She wore a heavy blue coat and tall cossack hat. "Drip,drip,drip,drip." she calmly walked towards Lucy. "Um, hello?" Lucy awkwardly waved. The woman face was emotionless, "Juvia is the rain woman,"
"Umm, hello?" Lucy said, confused. "Hello, I'm Juvia and I am looking for Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy froze, "And why are you looking for her?"
"Phantom Lord has sent to collect her, drip,drip,drip,drip." Lucy felt her heart increase, "No, I'm afraid I don't know a Lucy Heartfilia, my name is , uh, Larry Hartman," Juvia stares at Lucy with cold eyes. "Ok then, goodbye." Juvia turned away. Lucy's eyes became comically white and her jaw dropped, 'That actually worked!'
Then some started laughing a pompous laugh. "Oi, Juiva my dear, zis is Mademoiselle Heartfilia," the ground moving and strange man twisted from the earth, 'oh great another weirdo!" Lucy thought. The strange man twisted his little mustache, "I'm Monsieur Sol of the Earth and zis is Mademoiselle Juvia of the Sea. We are members of The Four Elements of Phantom Lord."
Lucy grabbed her celestial keys, "You're the ones who hurt Levy and her team!" Sol wagged his finger, "Non,non,non that was Monsieur Gajeel work. Juvia, please restrain Mademoiselle Lucy." In an instant a sphere of water trapped Lucy, she began thrashing to escape. Juvia focused on her magic, "You cannot escape my Water Lock." Lucy fell unconscious. "Victoire!" Sol cheered. "Now then let us return with Mademoiselle Lucy."
Juvia nodded, "Yes, we got Larry Hartman." Sol shooks his head, "No. Lucy Heartfilia, her name is Lucy Heartfilia."
The Water Lock spell exploded, and Lucy was gone, "Quoi! Juvia! What happened?" Juvia herself didn't understand, she didn't feel any presence enter or leave the Water Lock. "Non,non,non,non,non,non,non,non,non!" Sol began to panic, they had one mission!
Percy checks on Lucy to make sure she is alive. He made a mistake listening to her heartbeat, those gigantic knockers of hers were apparently sound absorbent and decided to check her pulse. "Good she is alive." Percy knew something was off when it started raining, today was supposed to be sunny! The weatherman said so!
"Oh boy, those guys were from Phantom Lord, dammit!" outnumber and Lucy was defenseless. "Hmmm," Percy grabbed one of Lucy's celestial keys and placed it in her hand. "Maybe I can summon one of those spirits," Percy held the key in Lucy's hand. "Um, I have the power," Nothing, "By the power of Castle Grayskull-I have the Power!" still nothing. Percy used another key, "SHAZAM!" still nothing! Another key, "By the power vested in thy," nothing, "to infinity and beyond!"
Percy kept going through keys, "Would one of you get out here! Now!" finally a key glowed, "Yes I did it-oh crap!" "Plue!" Plue said, the small dog summoned danced. Percy facepalmed and groaned, "Alright I can work with, alright lil buddy I need you," Percy pointed at Plue, "To get Lucy," Percy then pointed at Lucy, "Back to the guild." then Percy pointed to the direction of the Guild. "Can you do this?" Plue saluted him, "Plue!" The little dog spirit grabbed Lucy's ankle and began dragging her.
Percy breathed out and cracked his neck. "Alright then, let's deal with these numbskulls."
Back with the Two of The Element Four, Juvia and Sol kept searching for Lucy. "Where is Larry?" Juvia said, Sol sighed, "Her name zis Lucy. L-u-c-y. Lucy!"
"So you are from Phantom Lard, huh?" Percy called from a rooftop. Despite it pouring down, Percy was dry. Sol tilted his head, "Oi, and who might you be?"
"The name's Percy Jackson, Bartender and Member of Fairy Tail." he said and active his Wolf Stare. Juvia and Sol, his pencense was comparable to Gajeel, Aria, and even their Guild Master Jose Porla. "Monisour Jackson, it would be best if you hand Mademoiselle Lucy,"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry but do you have a french accent? Are you from france?" Sol tilted himself to the left, "Quoi? Non I am from the town called Vin, we all speak like zis."
This left Percy baffled, "your people speak french?"
"What is french?" Percy pointed to him, "Your accent!" Sol turned to Juvia, "Do you hear an accent when I speak?" Juvia shook her head, "No, I don't hear anything."
"Ok we're getting off topic. Say, you guys just skedaddle and I won't rearrange your skeletal sculptures." Percy offered and smiled. Juvia glares at him, "We are not leaving without Lucy or Larry, Sol who are we after again?" Sol of the Earth had disappeared, Percy cartwheeled out the way of earth spikes shot out from around him. Percy unleashed a wave of his Quake through the ground. Juvia Water Lock appeared around Percy.
"You shouldn't have interfeed," Juvia warned, Percy grinned, and to Juvia's shock and horror walked out of Water Lock. he was dry as the water never touched him. "H-h-how?" Juvia took a step back and attacked, "Water Slice!" a blade of water flew toward Percy who dodge as the water blade sliced clean through a stone wall. Percy whistled, "Gotta learn that trick."
Percy leaped from the dirt hand trying to grope him. Juvia appeared next to him and unleashed a blast of pressured water, despite being hit Percy was unharmed. Percy charged his fist, "Quake Punch!" striking Juvia she exploded. "AH! I didn't mean to do that!"
Thankfully Juvia reappeared, "I can transform into water." Percy nodded, "I see." he rushed toward her and grabbed her arms. Juvia tries to transform but to her shock remains solid. Percy had an evil grin. Truth is he didnt know if that would work, and was happy that it worked. Percy twisted Juvia's arm behind her back and applied pressure. "AAHH!" Juvia squealed in pain.
"If you want your teammate in one piece, I suggest you both surrender." Percy order.
Sol was nowhere to be seen, but he could be heard. "Ohohohoho! Now where is the fun in zat? It's Juvia's fault for being captured."
"Ok seriously, what is with your accent! It sounds like you know French and you purposely mix it english!" Percy yelled and twisted Juvia's arm again.
"And one more thing, you're clearly a nice guy, which is unfortunate. For you that iz."
"Your accent is bullshit!" an earth pillar shot in front of Juiva. 'What he'll hit his own teammate!' Juvia kicked backward and sent her heel in between Percy's legs. "AH!" Percy let go of Juvia and the moment the pillar touched her she exploded into water, and the pillar struck Percy, sending him flying through a store, an apartment, and destroying some poor guy cabbage cart. "MY CABBAGE!"
Percy bounced and stopped when he crashed into the railing of a nearby canal. "Ow." Percy groaned. Earth grew over his feet and several dirt hands grabbed him. The Two out the Element four corner him, Juvia blank expression stared at him in curious ways. Sol's expression was shadowed with his eye, monocle, and smile glowing. Several earth spikes wiggle and aim at Percy. "Any zast words, monsieur Jackson?"
Sighing, Percy answered, "Yes, you're a bitch." he smiled as the spike went in on him.
"Doll Make: earth doll!" the ground shift and a blob with goofy face separated Percy from the Rain woman and Man of the earth. "Quoi?!" Sol and Juvia moved back. "Ice Make: Bull!"
A double decker sized Bull made of ice charged at The Half of the Element Four. "Water Slice!" Juvia's water blade sliced the bull in half. "Ice Make:Rat Swarm!" The bisected bull dissolved into hundreds of ice rats swarming Juvia.
"Jellyfish claws!" a shock went through juvia and the water mage fell paralyze. "Merde!" Sol cursed. The earth swallowed them and escaped. Percy blinked as one his rescuers pressed his face right in her bosom. "My love!" Sherry cheered. Lyon looked around for more attackers.
"Well, I wasnt not expecting this." Percy pulled his head away from Sherry's chest and gasped for air. "Lyon? Shelley?" He saw two more guys, one with blue spikey hair and the most magnificent eyebrows. The other was a tall dog faced man. "And you guys are?"
"Yuka Suzuki." said eyebrows, Percy kept staring at them in fascination. "Toby Horhorta Buddy!" said the dog faceman. Shelly pulled Percy's head back into her breasts, Percy turned his head so he could breath. "So what brings you guys to town."
"I came to be with you darling!" Sherry said. Lyon turned to him, "Well, We come to join Fairy Tail, Our last guild would not take us back." Lyon wanted to look for other guilds beside Fairy Tail, but then Sherry pulled a knife out on him.
"Well thank you for expressing your interest in our guild, but this will be a bad time for you guys to join, Fairy Tail is currently in a war with Phantom Lord." Percy said, Sherry cut a lock of his hair and put it in a small bag. Lyon suddenly was shirtless, "of course, from what I heard Fairy Tail is complex."
"That is both an over and understatement." Percy got up and Sherry wrapped herself around his arm. "Now let's head to the guild, I am pretty sure three of my ribs are broken and that the others will be happy to see some new faces."
Intermission.
"I gotta go to save Lucy!" Natsu was about to burst through the guild doors, "Oh no you dont!" Percy's foot sent him crashing. Percy came in with Lucy in his arms, Plue sitting on his head eating candy, and Team Lyon behind him.
"I'm back bitches!"
Gray went up to his fellow Ice Mage, "So, decide to take up my offer? Lyon," Lyon gave a cocky smirk, "Yes and now I will show everyone here what a real Ice-Make mage looks like." Gray leaned in closer, "Yeah?" Lyon leaned in as well, "Yeah."
"You're both naked." Cana chimed in. "Crap!" Gray and Lyon cursed and began looking for their clothes. Percy set Lucy down and gave Plue another piece of candy, he did a good job, he dragged Lucy twenty feet closer to the Guild. "So what happens, we win?" the gloom in the air grew dark. "Ah shit what happened?"
Basically Fairy Tail retaliated against Phantom Lord, but they expected it and it was really an ambush. One of the Element Four - and then Percy ADHD acted when he heard a noise and saw sudden movement. "So basically things went from bad to worse, huh?"
"Yeah and Erza has taken it pretty hard."
Percy knew the feeling. When his friends made it to Camp Jupiter and Leo was mind controlled by an eidolon and then things went south, deep south. Sweet home Alabama. "Where's Erza?" Gray pointed to the back. Percy turned to Team Lyon, "Make yourself at home, and getting for war, WIFI password is 'fairytail1234"
As Percy turned to leave Sherry grabbed his hand, "Love, Erza is the redhead right?" Percy nodded, "Yeah and I'm pretty sure that she wears armor twenty four-seven." Sherry was concerned that the scarlet headed shank was going to steal her man! She grabbed Percy's head and pulled it between her bosom. "Percy darling, I will eagerly await your return!"
A great deal of the male Fairy Tail member's jaws dropped! How does Percy have such a game! Did he even know he was playing? Wakaba had rivers of tears going down his face, "it's not fair!"
Percy pulled his face away, "Alright then whole milk." Percy nodded and then rammed his right knee into the nearest table and his pain made the arousal go away. He did not need a boner right made his way to the back. He stopped when a wave of killing intent stopped him. Carefully peering into the next room he saw Mirajane standing before a destroyed crystal ball, bloodlust oozed off her.
Menacing! "Ummm, Mira, should I find a punching bag, or stress ball," Mira calmed down, her shoulders relaxed. "Laxus wouldn't help and no one knows where Mysterion is," Percy carefully moves closer like approaching an agitated animal. "Well, screw them, if Laxus won't help, then the next time I see will punch him in his handsome face." Mira frown broke and became a small smile. "Slug him good."
Percy left and continued his search for Erza, he went to the cellar and sensed the water moving, he saw the steam from the shower. 'Better come back later.'
"Knock it off, pervert!" Erza warned. "Erza, I didn't even see anything!" Percy said back. He was made to the stairs, "Wait," Percy stopped, "Yeah Erza?"
"..Nothing, never mind." Percy frowned and walked up to the shower, "Erza, if you need to talk, I'm here to listen." The only thing standing between them was steam and the new shower curtain. "Percy, Percy I'm sorry."
"What? you're sorry? For what?" Percy said, baffled by Erza's choice of words. The Red headed mage punched the shower wall, "I should have been stronger! I could protect the Master! Now he's injured!" Erza punched the wall breaking tiles, "I could end this! I could have-"
"Alright! Stop! Blaming yourself is not helping!" Percy yelled, Erza stopped hitting the wall, the scalding hot water poured over her. "I am Titania of Fairy Tail. My job is to protect everyone here! And I failed" Erza said in a low tone, her disappointment in herself was clear. Percy sighed, "Red, listen to me. You can't protect everyone. I have seen Gods bamboozled by being weaker and dumber than them. That is actually how I survived a lot of my encounters.
Erza, you are not to blame, shit is going to happen regardless of how strong you, or I, or Natsu, anybody else is going to get, and that's all right! The important thing is that we keep fighting! Because the moment we begin to doubt ourselves is the moment we lose! And far as I'm concerned Fairy Tale hasn't lost! And neither have you!" Percy gave a big confident smile, "Now get out of that shower, put a shirt on and I'll get you some strawberry cake!"
Erza turned off the water and rested her head against the shower wall. Percy was right, she couldn't stop fighting! She was Titania! And now she ripped that shower curtain aside and threw her naked body at Percy and claimed him as hers! And then eat strawberry cake!
She was going to play it well. Erza would 'accidentally' trip out of the shower and land on him. She was taking it from a erotic novel she read. "Oh, Percy!" Erza planted her foot and actually slipped, she grabbed the shower curtain ripping down and went crashing.
Bam! "KYA!" The scarlet hair mage crashed in the wall, "Ow. Percy?" The green eyed demigod was gone. While Erza was planning her seduction, Percy sensed something. His Water sense was still active and felt something coming from the lake behind the guild and quicking acted.
Percy rushed out past everyone. "Um? Guys, are we getting new neighbors?"
While confused the wizards got the idea when tremors began shaking the entire town. Everybody rushed outside, to their shock the Phantom Lord Guild building was literally moving towards them on four metal legs. Suddenly stopping, the loud noise of gears were and then a massive cannon came out.
"Ha! They are clearly compensating for something." Percy said in humor, but really he was about to panic. At the end of the cannon it began glowing. "IT'S GOING TO FIRE!" a red flash went past the Fairy Tail crowd, Erza switched to her ultimate defense armor Adamantine. Erza summons an immense magical shield in front of her. The cannon fired, and everyone embraced as a bright and powerful blast made contact with Erza shield.
BANG! Percy opened his saw and everybody had not been vaporized. "ERZA!" while surviving the blast, her armor was destroyed and she had taken damage. A loud laughter was heard and a giant screen appeared before them all. A man who definitely looked like a villain appeared on screen, how could Percy tell he was the villain? It was the mustache!
"Greetings! And salutations Fairy Tail! I am Jose Porla, Master of Phantom Lord!" Jose spoked, "Now since Makarov and Miss scarlet are unable to fight I strongly insist that you all listen to my humble requests." Fairy Tail members shifted intensity. Percy felt sweat bead down his temple. Elfman stood protectively in front of Mira. Gray and Cana helped Erza up. Lyon was seriously regretting coming to Fairy Tail.
"Now number one, Lucy Heartfilia is daughter and heir to massive Heartfilia fortuna and her father has requested my guild to bring her home." Lucy had a mixed expression of fear and shame. Jose continued, "My second request, I wish to speak to the one known as Percy Jackson."
'Hmmm? What could he want from me?' Percy thought, 'well time for another round of four-D chess.' Percy knew this was a tense situation and he couldn't show fear. He puffed up his chest and held his head up high with a bright smile and made his way to the floating screen. Each footstep he took was with purpose, his shoulder swayed with confidence and power. A walk so manly it brought a tear to Elfman's eye. Percy stopped his stride and greeted Jose.
"S'up!" Percy said and stood before the screen Jose, and the definition was good Percy could Jose face pores, "Hello Percy Jackson, I have heard much of you. For instance, is it true that you can cast Godslayer magic?" It was time for Percy to choose his next move. "Maybe i can, maybe i can't, what's it to you joker?"
Jose's eyebrows twitch, young people these days have no respect. "Well young man, I have an offer for you. Do you find yourself wondering about your future? Your finances? Will you be thinking 'is Fairy Tail right for me?"
'Is this guy seriously giving me a sales pitch?'
"Well I have the solution for you; Percy Jackson, how would you like to join Phantom Lord?" Jose smiled big and Percy could see the plaque he missed from brushing this morning. Before Percy could give an answer, Erza spoke on his behalf. "Like hell he would! Lucy and Percy are Fairy Tail members and We will not give them up!"
Natsu roared, "Hell yeah! Fairy Tail does not abandon anybody!" Gray flipped Jose off, "only cowards would abandon their friends!" Soon every other member was proclaiming their support for Lucy and Percy.
"Yeah we'll never give them up!"
"Fairy Tail members for life!"
Lucy began to cry from the support, after years of being alone to have real friends was overwhelming. Percy was thinking of his next move.
"Percy is a real man, he would never betray us!" Elfman boldly announced, "Percy not going anywhere until I tap that!" Cana yelled. Jose was getting really annoyed.
"Ok I'll join." Percy announced. Everyone went quiet. He felt the shock in the air as they stared at him. Even Jose was baffled, "What?"
"I said I'll join." Percy repeated. Everyone stared at him in shock. Percy moved closer to the floating screen. "Big bro?" Natsu said. Erza couldn't believe what she heard, she couldn't even find the words to respond. Lucy stared at him in horror, if Percy joins Phantom lord, who could stop them from returning her to her father. Mira held her hands to her mouth, "Percy?"
What in the world was Percy planning? Was he really about to betray Fairy Tail? What were his reasons? whatever he was about to was certainly going to change things for everyone.
