Percy Jackson, the hero of Olympus, slayer of Kronos, and Gaia was in deep emotional pain. It has been two months since the end of the Giant Wars and his life was in a downhill spiral since then. First, he and Annabeth broke up. It was painful but he could understand why. She calmly and as easily as possible explained that her feelings had changed and how sorry she was. Percy did not like it but he accepted it and the two were still friends. But after that it consistently got worse. A few new campers arrived and some of them... were already dead. It was only one week after they arrived when the godforsaken hydra arrived near the camp. Of course they went out to destroy the monster and overeager as they where the group of new heroes died in the fight and Percy took the blame for it. But the worst thing was...was when he arrived home and found his mother, Paul, and newborn baby sister dead on the ground...the pain he felt was unimaginable and he had enough. So he just...ran away to make air for his anger. Apparently today was try to kill Jackson day because for hours he was fighting against monsters now, never getting the chance to rest. Ha would die there was no way around hi. He was bleeding, lost his left Arm so that was a problem too, and there were still tons of monsters left. The only reason he hadn't died yet was because of the rain that kept him strong enough and allowed him to close most of his wounds.
"My, My. It seems our young Hero is quite in a pickle. Allow me to help" Percy had no idea who spoke but he had no time to think about it. Because suddenly a bright green Light blinded him and he heard the monsters scream in pain. When he could see again to his immense shock the monsters were all gone. Instead there was a single guy standing there. He looked around to be 16 but the power Percy could feel from him was incredible! He was wearing a black Tracnchcoat and had White Hair with some black streaks in it. His green eyes glowed like they were two small neon lights. He also was holding an umbrella.
"who...who are you?" Asked Percy weakly. He could feel his consciousness waving.
"That I will explain in do time. Firstly...dude, you seriously need help you look like any moment you just fell oh well there he goes." The unknown man looked at Percy who just fell down and lost consciousness.
"Welp...better help him. Ui...nasty cut there but mah just one missing arm. That's fixable." He lifted Percy up and then in a strange...glitch like motion they two-faced away.
When Percy regained his consciousness he had no idea where he was. The room he found himself in was pure white with a single-window. It looked like a hospital room. He tried remembering what happened.
"I...yes I was attacked by monsters and...this strange guy saved me...I think? How did I even survive I mean I lost a...arm..." Percy was 100% sure he had lost his left arm...so why did he feel an arm? Slowly he looked down his left shoulder and what he saw shocked him. Instead of nothing there was a mechanical metal arm. WAY more advanced than anything Percy had ever seen.
"...What the actual fuck?" Was all that Percy could say than he suddenly hears a chuckle.
"Finally awake? Took you're longe enough." He looked to the door of his room and was surprised to see the person that saved him. He still could feel this immense power coming from him.
"Who...are you?" The unwon boy grinned and made a small bow.
"The name is Metallix Prime. I am the god of all modern technologies, modern entertainment, and the leader of Neo Arcadia. At your service." Percy looked utterly dumbfounded.
"...Huh?" Was his weary intelligent response. Metallix just lathed.
"Haha you really are something. I will be honest with you kid awry other half-god, even other children of old Aquaman would NOT have survived this. When I brought you hear you pretty much where dead, all that was keeping you alive was the power you absorbed from the rain. We had to operate you while constantly showering you with water I can tell you that was NO easy feat." Percy just blinked, still not really sure what to say.
"...did you just call my dad Aquaman?" Percy could not help himself but start to imagine his dad in this horrible orange and green outfit.
"...I just told you how we saved you in one of the most complicated surgeries ever done and THAT'S what you're focusing on? Dear god you have strange priorities." Percy blushed a little.
"Yes well...I'm confused okay?! You claim to be a god but I never heard of you!" Metallix just shrugged.
"Well that's because I don't belong to the Greek pantheon. If you want to be technical I belong to the Japanese but am not part of the Shinto gods. I am part of a completely separated pantheon of brand new gods that formed all across the world. Let me tell you something Percy. The truth about gods. Do you know the Story of how Gaia, Uranus, and the other Primordials are the children of Chaos? Well that's all complete and utter bullcrap. All Primordials are born from the humans mind. There faith and beliefs became real beings because so many believed it to be true. Their faith gave birth to the primordials. The rest partially is history its...WAREY complicated and honestly? I doubt you will get it anyway...no offense." Percy just...blinked. He was pretty confused.
"And ahm...what does this have to do with you?" He grinned.
"I'm a little different. You know how people put more and more trust in technology? Well that trust manifested itself...into me. I was born out of people's faith in science and so here I am. But its a little more than that...you sea Percy I was not born from this on your World alone. Did you ever hear of the Multiverse theory?" Percy gave a slow, and hesitant nod.
"Well... it's true. There is an infinite amount of parallel Universes out there...and I'm not a god born from just one. But ALL of them. I'm the literal embodiment of Modern Technology, an interdimensional God. Want some proof?" Before Percy could even respond a powerful wave of sheer power hit him. He started to tremble in fear, wanted to...to bow down to this immeasurable power! And it all came from this God in front of him! A power so strong that Gaia seemed a little fly in comparison! Percy did not realize it but he was hyperventilating and his heart was beating at a way too rapid paste. What felt like hours under this pressure where in reality only two seconds until he lowered his power again.
"This Percy Jackson...was only a small fraction of my power. If I wanted I could blow up your entire home planet...not that I ever would do so. For one it would rub me of a power source and two I'm not cruel...and technically not allowed. There are rules even for beings like me. But I'm sure you wonder why I saved you right?" Percy, still pretty shook, nodded.
"Well...you see there are many, many dangerous threats out there in the multiverse. Beings of such high threat level that they sometimes put hole universes in danger. I and many other gods decided to put together a team too protect the dimensions and keep it safe...and I want you to join. Awrey god can choose a Chosen that will be offered to join our ranks. It can be a mortal, demigod, or even a god. There is only one rule. We are not allowed to force our chosen to join. The decision is with you Percy. Do you want to return to your world...ore do you want to protect the multiverse and have for once in your life a summer where you are NOT attacked by monsters? Also just so you know...the fates have NO influence over you. The moment I choose you they lost all power over your future." At that Percy's eyes widened a little. Since he learned he was a half-blood the fates LOVED to make his life as shitty as possible...and after losing his parents...he nodded and looked determined at the powerful god.
"I accept." Metallix had a wide grin on his face.
"In that case... I welcome you to the Crusaders of Arcadia Percy Jackson."
