Chapter 9- Craig's Demise

Percy POV

Zarcrix has just shown me how to use force magic to deflect something, instead of changing it. I grin, I had already mastered the basics, and I could deflect lightning strikes, well, weak strikes.

"Hey Zarcrix, can you tell me a bit about your history, and your creations?" I ask, because I want to learn some stuff about him.

"Sure" he says. "Well, in the beginning of time, there was nothing, no colour, not even black. Everything was transparent, you literally could not see anything, because there was nothing to see. The first being was my older brother Shael. He is the wise one. He showed up in many Greek mythology pictures, in the form of a wolf. Next to appear was Helix. My other brother. He fathered Chaos. I was next. I did basically nothing until Chaos showed up and told us to get off our arses and do something."

"Wow, so you just appeared, like, without parents?" I ask in disbelief.

"Yup" he says. "Anyway, after me, Craotos appeared. He is the dumbest of all of us, and spent several days trying to become of humanoid shape, as his base form is a crab. Mine is a dragon and Helix's is a snake. Anyway, after Craotos, came Assirov, and his base form is a spider. Way to creep out the rest of us. Then came Rose, my wife. Her base form is a dragon like me. Recara was next, she was Helix's wife, and her base form is a snake as well." He says.

"Wow, that is pretty cool." I say with a grin, they all used to be animals I think. That means animals are superior to humans and Gods.

"After that, Rose gave birth to a Deity named Nyx. She is not evil, just annoyed because she was thrown into Tartarus by Ouranos (Uranus) when she wasn't looking." He says.

"So, Nyx is actually a Deity, not a primordial? Wow" I say. I couldn't believe that she was more powerful than Gaia, and she was the embodiment of night.

"After that, Rose gave birth to twins, Nebular and Order. Nebular stayed with us, but Order vanished into space, following ambitions. Next, Recara gave birth to Chaos. And Chaos told us to get off our super comfortable couches we created, and do something. So, we did. We created 200 universes. I was chosen to be leader, which sucks because of the amount of paperwork."

I laugh. Only Zarcrix could complain about being the Lord of the Universe. Or was it Universes?

"So, the universes came to be. And I became the Lord." Zarcrix finishes.

"Wow, that's amazing. I cannot believe the Greeks thought you guys were real without proof!" I say with a grin.

Zarcrix laughs. "All right, now I will show you a secret path out of the forest, that you can use uninterrupted, and it take about 10 minutes to reach the edge of the forest." Zarcrix says.

I follow him into the backyard wordlessly. He walks into a bush and I follow him. Behind the bush was a very narrow path, surrounded by trees grown very close together. I follow him through the path. The scenery was great, and there was no sound other than a light breeze flowing through the leaves.

After 10 minutes of walking we reached the edge of the forest. I walk out onto the fields through a bush and look at the open plains before me. Suddenly I see a limousine driving towards the forest, it looked about 3 miles away. Zarcrix pulls me into the bush and back onto the path.

"That's Craig and his three friends of Ares!" he says to me.

"How can you tell?" I ask surprised.

"I have extremely good eye sight." He says.

I grin and pull riptide out of my pocket, fidgeting with it. Revenge was near, I could feel it. I wouldn't let Craig get away, I would teach him a lesson. Him being immortal made it better, so I could do much more to him without him dying. I peak out of the bushes, and see the limousine getting closer.

My muscles tense and I grip riptide even harder. Today was the day I got my revenge. Today was the day.

The limousine drew closer, and eventually to a stop about a hundred meters down form where Zarcrix and I are, in front of the forest. Craig and his three cronies hop out of the car, and look inside the forest.

"Oi Jackson! I know you're in there somewhere, cause' we looked everywhere in New York, so come out and face us like a man!" Craig yells.

I suppress a laugh. "I'll leave you to it" Zarcrix whispers and vanishes. I grin. Craig was going down, hard.

I stealthily step out from the bushes, and creep towards them. Soon, I was standing 30 meters behind them. "Come on Jackson! Don't be a wuss!" Craig yelled. "I want to kill you, you weakling!" Craig yells.

"Well, why don't you try" I say coldly.

Craig spins and charges at me, sword raised. I uncap riptide and wait for him. He yells and swings down his sword. I bring riptide up to meet it and sparks fly. I send a quick kick in at him, and he goes flying backwards.

The three sons of Ares charge at me, and I flick my hand, summoning a wave of water, sending them backwards 50 or so meters. Craig gets up, rubbing his stomach. "You'll pay for that Jackson!" he yells, and summons a bolt of lightning to strike me. I deflect it with force magic, the bolt barely putting any strain on me, as it was very weak.

"What!" Craig yells.

I grin and summon another wave of water, knocking him backwards, and knocking the wind from him. Craig summons another lightning bolt, and I deflect it towards the sons of Ares, who were still very wet. They fall to the ground, fried.

Craig stands slowly, and summons a bolt of lightning at me again. I deflect it and send it at their limousine, causing it to catch fire. Craig glares at me, and draws his sword. I summon a heap of water, and control it, making it swirl around in circles like a whirlpool. Satisfied, I send the water towards him, and the water wraps around him. It swirls around him in a massive sphere, trapping him in the floating whirlpool.

He couldn't breathe, and the only way he would be able to was to swim through the raging, swirling water. After a few minutes, Craig swims as fast as he can, but is immediately swept away, now trapped. He was swirling around the sphere of water, unable to move as the current traps him. Eventually, tiredness overcomes me, and I let him go. He falls to the ground, gasping for air, eventually he loses consciousness, and he lay there.

I use the water to put the limousine out, and then use it again to put Craig and his cronies into the limousine. Then I use the water to send them flying, crashing into the ground, and wrecking the limousine. Then I walk back into the forest, happy with my revenge.

Annabeth POV

The plains seemed endless, but I knew I had to get to the forest. Percy was there, and that was my only aim. I begin to run, determination filling my mind. I suddenly see the wreck of a limousine. I cautiously draw my knife, and walk towards it. I open the door and gasp in shock at the sight of Craig, unconscious and bleeding from his head. His cronies were lying there, burn marks covering them, and everything was wet. Percy. Percy had been here.

I run from the wreckage, more determined than ever to get to the forest.
