After accepting Percy was given some new clothes. It was a normal pair of gray pants and a gray shirt with a gray jacket. This was apparently his official uniform while he would receive training. Currently he was sitting in what looked like a small classroom where he would meet his fellow Crusaders that he would form a team with. When he asked Metallix WHY they are called Crusaders he just said "I simply thought it sounded cool." It was not difficult to figure out that this god, despite being powerful as hell was very laid back. He also was looking at his new mechanical arm...ore rather its manual. Yep, his arm was so complicated that it needed a manual. Luckily it was in greek so his dyslexia did not hinder him and WOW! This arm...was freaking amazing! If what Percy road was true this thing could transform into all types of weapons, was super strong, AND could further be upgraded! He of course understood nothing of the more...technical aspects how the arm works but it still fascinated him. In fact he did not notice how someone entered until the person spoke to him.
"Excuse me?" He looked up and saw that a girl was standing beside him. She was wearing the same uniform but a skirt instead of pants. She was Asian and had long black hair that went far over her shoulders. She had strange gray eyes, not like Annabeth's more like...it was difficult to describe. She also seemed to be only 14.
"Oh ahm hello. I am Percy Jackson...son of Poseidon." The girl nodded and bowed before him.
"I am Mizuki Takazuchi, Daughter of the Shinigami. I am in your care Jackson-Senpai." Percy...had absolutely no idea what a Shinigami was, our what Senpai means.
"Ahm...Shinigami? Senpai? Sorry, I am not familiar with those words."
"Oh well...the Shinigami is the Japanese god of the dead, similar to you're Hades. And ahm...Senpai is a term used for your seniors. Y-You're clearly older than me and I... I just recently learned of my status as the Daughter of the death god." She looked wary nervous. Ah he probably also knew why. Death Gods were often not held in high regard in most pantheons ore that's what Nico once mentioned to him. The exceptions were the Mexican Death Gods, Osiris, and whoever was in charge of Valhalla.
"Oh okay...ahm don't let the hole Death God thing bother you. One of my best friends is the son of Hades and he is a chill dood...Hades too if you get to know him. So don't let it get to you I'm sure you're dad also is a decent guy" She gave him a small smile.
"Thank you Jackson-Senpai." Before he could tell her that she don't need to be so formal the door opened again and a familiar face stepped in. Somone Percy did not believe to ever see again.
"ZOE?" The Girl was clearly Zoe Nightshade, former Lieutenant of Artemis and someone he saw die! She too seemed surprised.
"Jackson? What is thee doing here?" She stepped over to the two. She wore the same uniform as Mizuki but had a bow with her.
"I could ask you the same too! I saw you die! Oh ahm, Zoe? This is Mizuki Daughter of the Shinigami. Mizuki this is Zoe Daughter off.." He was a little hesitant but Zoe finished for him.
"Daughter of Atlas. It is of great pleasure to meet you. As to why I'm here...someone named Selana, Interdimensional Goddess of the stars, saved me. She said it is too much of a shame for someone such as I too just be a nice constellation in the Sky" Percy nodded. He honestly was just happy to see one of his dead friends again. The door opened anew and two more girls came in...okay had he only girls in his class? Uh, whatever. But while he looked at them both seemed...familiar. They both had to be in there late teens. One of them had strange light purple hair and was wearing glasses over her even stranger yellow eyes. The other girl's hair was pitch black and she was wearing two spider hairclips. When they saw him both seemed to stiffen.
"Ahm...hello? Do i...know you two?" Asked Percy carefully. The purple-haired one narrowed her eyes.
"Oh? You ask if you...know us? Have you already forgotten...how you cut off my head killing me? Ore how your girlfriend banished her to Tartarus?" She said while pointing at the other Girl. He was just as confused as before.
"I never killed you I don't even know you!" She narrowed her eyes but suddenly Metallix appeared in front of them.
"You do know them Percy you just don't recognize them. Allow me to reintroduce you to Medusa Gorgon and Arachne Webbing." On instinct Percy and Zoe, both pulled out there Weapons. Percy activated Riptide while Zoe pulled out a hunting knife do to not having arrows at the moment. But Metallix stepped in front of them.
"Do NOT attack them. They re no longer monsters" Zoe narrowed her eyes.
"They ARE Monsters. Even if you take away their curses they are still enemies of Olympus who"
"Who were unjustly punished. Arachne was better than Athena and was even HUMBLE about it. She never bragged, she never rubbed it in the goddess's face. And Medusa...was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple and punished BY Athena for well being raped because she could not harm Poseidon. So both of you calm down! They will be your classmates, your battle comrades and you will get along. If not...well... I know who will clean the toilets for the next month. Now...you're Teacher will arrive shortly. Don't be surprised by the way. This place holds many legendary heroes. They are NOT the same as in your world. She will be here soon I was just her to clarify the two here too you. And I know you two have some resentment towards Percey but in his defense, you kinda tried to kill him so I guess his reactions were justified? Okay? Okay. Chiryo." And with that he vanished again. There was still a certain tension in the room. Medusa and Arachne decided to ignore Percy and the others and sit down on the other side of the room. Zoe and Mizuki set next to Percy.
They did not have to wait for long when the door opened once more and a woman stepped in. She had blonde hair that was tied into a bun and was wearing a blue dress with a set of armor above it. She had a dead serious look on her face and on her belt was one of the most magnificent swords that Percy had ever saw. Imidentley Riptide felt like nothing but a toy in comparison. "Welcome Students." Said the Woman and looked at them.
"My name is Arturia Pendragon, King of Camelot, and wielder of Excalibur. I will be your instructor and trainer for the foreseeable future. I hope we will get along well." The Room was put to silence. Arturia stayed silent for a moment before she sighed heavily. "Yes I'm King Arthur, yes I'm a woman, I disguised myself as a man with Merlins help and no I will not explain anything regarding Mordred because that is weary personal and way too complicated and yes this is the real Excalibur does that cover all the questions that wen trough your heads?" They all gave silent nods.
"Wonderfull! Then we can begin. Now I know there is a little...hostility between a few of you but I want to make one thing clear. People who are chosen to join the Crusaders all are chosen for a reason. You will not find anyone here that is pure evil or holds bigger malicious intentions. I too was skeptical when I once was sitting at your place and I had to share my class with people legends proclaimed as evil. The Multiverse is a never-ending place with endless possibilities. I, for example, am not the king Arthur from your world, the same as you will find different versions of other people here that you may encounter as former enemies. I know for a fact that you, mister Jackson, had to deal with Kronos and Gaia. Well you will find that there is a Version of both of them here. So i ask you all to keep a open mind. Now then! We will proceed imidentley...follow me!" With this command she left the Clasroom, the others all hesitentley followed.
