A/N: Anyone who wants to do a story where the characters read 'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes' series is allowed to do so as long as they tell me before hand.
I don't own Percy Jackson series or Naruto series, or any of the characters of either series. Nor am I the writer of the Son of the Huntress series
Warning: Read these stories if you haven't before reading this story:
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Sea of Monsters'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Titan's Curse'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Battle of the Labyrinth'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Last Olympian'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Staff of Hermes'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Quest for Buford'
I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.
One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.
Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.
Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.
Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.
Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.
Also there is now video recordings of me reading the Legacy series under my real name Ashleigh Stratmann. It's under 'Reading of the Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief' as right now it's just the first story being read so far.
The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune
Percy and Yugito Face Two of the Gorgon Sisters
Percy originally thought having to traveling with a girl name Yugito Nii with weird powers called jutsus and a monster flaming cat with two tails sealed in her would be a good idea. That was until he they came across the snake hair ladies.
They should have died three days ago when he dropped a crate of bowling balls on them at the Napa Bargain Mart. They should have died two days ago used her cat's power to burn them alive. They definitely should have died this morning when they both cut off the ladie's heads in Tilden Park.
No matter how many times Percy and Yugito killed them and watched them crumble to powder, they just kept reforming like large evil dust bunnies. He couldn't even seem to outrun them. Yugito could but she insist on getting Percy through this trip one way or another.
He finally caught up with Yugito at the top of the hill and caught his breath. How long since they last killed them? Maybe two hours. They never seemed to stay dead longer than that.
Yugito Nii was a eighteen year old blonde girl who bound her hair with taut bandages. She had blue eyes and she wore red lipstick. SHe was wearing a short sleeved black and purple shirt with black pants, both of which had a design similar to clouds on them, purple fingerless gloves, and chain of blue beads around her left hand. She wore sandals, kunai holster, which was strapped to her right thigh and had bandages around her arms and legs as well as a red belt around her. But what struck Percy about he was that she he had a headband tied around her forehead with a metal plate over it with one oval and two rounded rectangles connected together as one like clouds. Something about the way she wore that headband seem familiar, but the symbol was wrong. Not to mention when he found out Yugito was from another world called the elemental nations and that she was a ninja, it didn't strike Percy as strange as he thought it would be, as though he heard the story before. Heck the fact she had a monster sealed in her didn't deterred.
The past few days, they been sleeping in shifts, one guards while the other rest. They'd eaten whatever they could scrounge-vending machine gummi bears, stale bagels, even a Jack in the Crack burrito, which was a new personal low for Percy. His clothes were torn, burned, and splattered with monster slime. Only reason Yugito's wasn't was because she had better reflexes-one of a cat combine with years of ninja training.
Only reason Percy survived this long because the two snake-haired ladies-gorgons, they called themselves-couldn't seem to kill him either. Their claws couldn't even cut his skin. Their teeth broke whenever they tried to bite him. But the thing is, he tired out easy. Yugito often took first shift because Percy could barely keep his eyes open once they camp out. The fact Yugito had stopped here was a relief for Percy.
Percy scanned his surroundings. Under different circumstances, he might've enjoyed the view. To his left, golden hills rolled inland, dotted with lakes, woods, and a few herds of cows. To his right, the flatlands of Berkeley and Oakland marched west-a vast checkerboard of neighborhoods, with several million people who probably did not want their morning interrupted by two monsters and two demigods.
Farther west, San Francisco Bay glittered under a silvery haze. Past that, a wall of fog had swallowed most of San Francisco, leaving just the tops of skyscrapers and the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge.
A vague sadness weighed on Percy's chest. Something told him he'd been to San Francisco before. The city had some connection to Annabeth-the only person he could remember from his past. His memory of her was frustratingly dim. The wolf had promised he would see her again and regain his memory-if he succeeded in his journey.
Maybe he should try to cross the bay.
It was tempting. He could feel the power of the ocean just over the horizon. Water always revived him. Salt water was the best. He'd discovered that two days ago when he had strangled a sea monster in the Carquinez Strait as Yugito was in a disadvantage with her fire jutsus. If he could reach the bay, he might be able to make a last stand. Maybe he could even drown the gorgons. But the shore was at least two miles away. He'd have to cross an entire city.
"We're close," Yugito said, breaking Percy thought.
He knows what she was talking about and knew she was right. The she-wolf Lupa had taught both of them to sharpen their senses-to trust the instincts that had been guiding them south. His homing radar was tingling like crazy now. The end of their journey was close-almost right under his feet. But how could that be? There was nothing on the hilltop.
Percy woke up with a cheap ballpoint pen that when he uncapped it, it grew into a glowing bronze sword his first night at the Wolf House-two months ago? More He'd lost track. He'd found himself in the courtyard of a burned out mansion in the middle of the woods, wearing shorts, an orange t-shirt, and a leather necklace with a bunch of strange clay beads. His sword, Anakusmos or Riptide according to the etching on the guard, had been in his hand, but Percy had had no idea how he'd gotten there, and oly vaguest idea who he was. He'd been barefoot, freezing, and confused. And then the wolves came...
The wind changed. Percy caught the sour scent of reptile. A hundred yards down the slope, something rustled through the woods-snapping branches, crunching leaves, hissing.
Gorgons.
For the millionth time, Percy wished their noses weren't so good. They had always said they could smell both him and Yugito because they were demigods-the half-blood son of some old Roman god.
At least Yugito knows who her father was. The moment she arrived at the wolf house, she told Percy a lyre appeared above her head. According to Lupa that was the sign of Apollo-god of healing and prophecy. Normally that meant Yugito gets to learn how to use a bow and arrow, but Yugito stuck to her ninja gear.
Percy on other hand got nothing. Well, not entirely. Lupa said Percy had already been claimed and if he completed his journey he too will find out who his father is.
He scrambled to the west side of the summit. It was too steep to descend. The slope plummet eighty feet, straight to the roof of an apartment complex built into the hillside. Fifty feet below that, a highway emerged from the hill's base and wound its way toward Berkeley.
Under normal circumstances Percy would think he was cornered, but these weren't normal circumstances.
He stared at the stream of cars flowing west toward San Francisco and wished he were in one of them. Then he realized the highway must cut through the hill. There must be a tunnel... right under his feet.
His internal radar went nuts. He was in the right place, just too high up.
"Yugito, we're here. It's just under us," Percy hollered.
Yugito head over and Percy pointed at the cars. During their journey, Yugito quickly learn about cars and vehicles of this world and came to the same realization as Percy.
"I can get us down." Yugito said. "You can ride on my back."
Normally Percy wouldn't feel comfortable piggybacking on someone, but during this trip he seen Yugito walk up and down vertical walls and trees as if they were the ground themselves.
Yugito sling her backpack to her front. They both had managed to grab a lot of supplies at Napa Bargain Mart: a portable GPS, duct tape, lighter, superglue, water bottles, camping roll, two comfey animal pillow pets-a panda for Percy and a cat for Yugito (as seen on TV), and swiss army knife-pretty much every tool a modern demigod could want.
A familiar voice spoke up: "There you two are!"
Percy stumped and Yugito's fingernails grew into long claws as the gorgon showed up next to them.
It was the smiley one-Beano.
Okay, her name wasn't really Beano. As near as Percy could figure, he was dyslexic, because words got twisted around when he ntried to read. The first time they'd seen the gorgon, posing as a Bargain Mart greeter with a big green button that read: Welcome! My name is STHENO, he'd thought it said BEANO. Yugito corrected him as she wasn't dyslexic, although she was ADHD like him.
The Gorgon was still wearing her green Bargain Mart employee vest over a flower print dress. If you look just at her body, you might think she was somebody's dumpy old grandmother-until you looked down and realized she had rooster feet. Or you look up and saw bronze boar tusk sticking out of the corners of her mouth. Her eyes glowed red, and her hair was writhing nest of bright green snakes.
The horrible thing about her? She was still holding her big silver platter of free samples: Crispy Cheese 'n' Wieners. Her platter was dented from all the times Percy and Yugito had killed her, but those little samples looked perfectly fine. Stheno just kept totting them across California so she could offer both Percy and Yugito a snack before she killed them. Percy didn't know why she kept doing that, but if he ever needed a suit of armor, he was going to make it out of Crispy Cheese 'n' Wieners. They were indestructible.
"Try one?" Stheno offered.
Yugito pushed away the tray. "Where's your sister?"
"Oh, no need for swords and claws," Stheno chided. "YOu know by now that even celestial bronze or ninjutsu can't kill us for long. Have a Cheese 'n' Wiener! They're on sale this week, and I'd hate to kill both of you on an empty stomach."
"Stheno!" The second gorgon appeared to Percy's right so fast, he didn't have time to react. Fortunately she was too busy glaring at her sister to pay him or Yugito much attention. "I told you to sneak up on them and kill them!"
Stheno's smile wavered. "But, Euryale..." She said the name so it rhymed with Muriel. "Can't I give them a sample first?"
"No, you imbecile!" Euryale turned toward Percy and Yugito and bared her fangs.
Except for her hair, which was a nest of coral snakes instead of green vipers, she looked exactly like her sister. Her Bargain Mart vest, her flowery dress, even her tusks were decorated with 50% off stickers. Her name badge read: Hello! My name is DIE DEMIGOD SCUM!
"You two have led us on quite a chase Percy Jackson and Yugito Nii," Euryale said. "But now you're trapped, and we'll have our revenge!"
"The Cheese 'n' Wieners are only $2.99," Stheno added helpfully. "Grocery department, aisle three." Euryale snarled "Stheno, the Bargain Mart was a front! You're going native! Now, put down that ridiculous trap and help me kill these two demigods. Or have you forgotten the boy is the one who vaporized Medusa?"
Percy stepped back. Six more inches, and he'd be stumbling through thin air without Yugito. "Look, ladies, we've been over this. I don't even remember killing Medusa. I don't remember anything!"
"He's not joking," Yugito said. She had asked Percy multiple times about that ever since it was first brought up.
"I don't care what you remember, son of the sea god. I can smell Medusa's blood on you. It's faint, yes, several years old, but you were the last one to defeat her. She still has not returned from Tartarus. It's your fault!"
Percy didn't get that. The whole "dying then returning from Tartarus" concept gave him a headache. Of course, so did the idea that a ballpoint pen could turn into a sword, humans from a world called the elemental nations, ninjas and jutsus, or that monsters could disguise themselves with something called the Mist, or that Percy was the son of some Barnacle encrusted god from five thousand years ago (which they figured from these two gorgons). But he did believe it. Even though his memory was erased, he knew he was a demigod the same way he knew his name was Percy Jackson. From his first conversation with Lupa the wolf and Yugito, he accepted that this crazy messed-up world of gods and monsters was his reality. Which pretty much sucked.
"How about we call it a draw?" he said. "We can't kill you. You can't kill us. If you're Medusa's sisters-like the Medusa who turned people to stone-shouldn't we be petrified by now?"
"Heroes!" Euryale said with disgust. "They always bring that up, just like our mother! Why can't you turn people to stone? Your sister can turn people to stone.' Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, boy! That was Medusa's curse alone. She was the most hideous one in the family. She got all the luck!"
"Monsters have parents?" Yugito asked Percy.
Percy shrugged as he couldn't remember anything that could answer that.
Stheno looked hurt but not because what Yugito said. "Mother said I was the most hideous."
"Quiet!" Euryale snapped. "As for you, Percy Jackson, it's true you bear the mark of Athena, and Yugito bears is a jinchuriki. That makes both of you tougher to kill. But don't worry. We'll find a way."
"The mark of what?"
"Achilles," Stheno said cheerfully. "Oh he was gorgeous! Dipped in the River Styx as a child, you know, so he was invulnerable except for a tiny spot on his ample. That's what happened to you, dear. Someone must've dumped you in the Styx and made your skin like iron. But not to worry. Heroes like you always have a weak spot. We just have to find it, and then kill you. Won't that be lovely? Have a Cheese 'N' Wiener!"
"Have any idea what they're talking about Percy?" Yugito asked.
"No." Percy tried to think though. He didn't remember any dip in the Styx. Then again, he didn't remember much of anything. His skin didn't feel like iron, but it would explain how he held out so long against the gorgons.
If he can just climb on Yugito's back they can just run down the cliff with Yugito's ninja speed-as she was as fast as your modern vehicle. But they need a distraction.
He looked at Stheno's large silver platter of free samples.
Hmm...
"Reconsidering?" Stheno asked. "Very wise, dear. I added some gorgon's blood to these, so your death will be quick and painless."
"What do you mean?" Yugito asked.
"Well, the blood from our right side can cure anything, you know, but the blood on our left side is deadly-"
"You dimwit!" Euryale screeched. "You're not supposed to tell them that! Neither of them would eat the wieners if you tell them they're poisoned!"
Stheno looked stunned. "They won't? But I said it would be quick and painless."
"Never mind!" Euryale's fingernails grew into claws. "We'll kill them both-the hard way for the boy if necessary-just keep slashing until we find the weak spot. Once we defeat Percy Jackson and Yugito Nii, we'll be more famous than Medusa! Our patrón will reward us greatly!"
"Who's this Patrón you mention?" Yugito demanded.
Euryale sneered. "The goddess Gaea, of course! The one who brought us back from oblivion! Neither of you will live long enough to meet her, but your friends below will soon face her wrath. Even now, her armies are marching south. At the Feast of Fortuna, she'll awaken, and the demigods will be cut down like-like-"
"Like our low prices at Bargain Mart!" Stheno suggested.
"Gah!" Euryale stormed toward her sister. Using lightning fast cat reflexes Yugito slashed through Euryale's waist with her claw fingernails.
Then Percy grabbed Stheno's platter, scattering poisoned Cheese 'n' Wieners. He raised the platter, Stheno found herself facing her own greasy reflection.
"Medusa!" she screamed.
Her sister Euryale had crumbled to dust, but she was already starting to re-form, like a snowman un-melting. "Stheno, you fool!" she gurgled as her half-made face rose from the mound of dust. "That's just your own reflection! Get him!"
Yugito stomped the reform face back into dust and slashed through Stheno, killing her off.
"Let's go!" Yugito shouted.
Percy tossed the metal tray and climbed onto Yugito's back, and Yugito jumped off the side of the hill.
A/N: And there you go, the first chapter of Son of Neptune. And yes, Yugito being claimed as daughter of Apollo meant being daughter of Apollo was the wining choice of the poll. I just didn't make an archer out of her yet since Yugito is already a trained cloud ninja thus should do fine with Lupa's training. She doesn't have any imperial gold ninja weapons yet, but with her ninjutsu and being Jinchuriki I didn't think it was necessary. I also made her younger so be around Naruto's age.
Yugito still does have mastery over Matatabi (Two-Tails power) and had time to bond with Matatabi like Killer Bee, but unlike Killer Bee, who always been older than Yugito, Yugito doesn't have as long experience using Matatabi's powers as Killer Bee does in using Gyuki's (Eight Tail Bull) power. So unlike Naruto who was hesitant in using Kurama's power due to limit to how much control he had, Yugito won't be too hesitant as she has nothing to worry about.
I'll try to add Yugito's perspective in place of Percy's Frank's or Hazel's like I did with Naruto with Jason Piper and Leo in the Lost Hero.
