Chapter 22: The coming of the Storm

Percy POV

I look at the open sea, and to the coast of America in the distance. We had decided to follow the coast to long island, as to not get lost again.

I scan the water, looking for any signs of trouble. I jump into the water to do a proper scan, so no monster could get the jump on us. I swim around the bottom of ship, breathing in the water. I dive down towards the ocean floor, looking around.

I see the bottom now. I land on the bottom of the ocean and look up, where I could only just see the ship. The anchor was latched to the bottom, holding the ship in place while I scanned the ocean. I examine the anchor, making sure it was tight. Then I realised something. The anchor was moving up and down slowly, almost like breathing.

I notice a little golden ichor flowing from where the anchor was hooked. It was faint, but it was there. I swim as fast as I can, and realise I wasn't on the ocean floor at all, I was on a sea monster. I look at the size of the monster, and gasp. It was HUGE. I shoot towards the surface as fast as I can, when suddenly I feel a tentacle wrap around my stomach. I look down and see the monster, with one eye open, looking at me, almost in interest.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Marizdal" it replies, eyes narrowing at me. "And you must be lunch" it says, before pulling me towards its mouth.

I shoot water into the tentacle holding me, causing its grip to loosen, allowing me to break free. I use the water to shoot me to the surface, where I climb onto the ship.

"Sea monster!" I yell. "Release the anchor!" I yell.

The anchor starts being pulled to the surface, and the water starts rumbling as Marizdal rises to the surface.

"Who is it?" Zarcrix asks.

"Marizdal" I say, confused as I have never heard of it.

"Ah yes, the beast of Isis." Zarcrix says.

"Who?" I ask.

"Isis, she was an Egyptian primordial, loved to create monsters. She is soon to fade, but she is not evil. She is the Egyptian goddess of magic. She made many creatures, but is perishing as the Egyptians demigod children are being killed by Zormos." Zarcrix says.

I raise my eyebrows, then turn back to the Egyptian monster.

Marizdal rises above the sea. He was massive, at least three times the size of 'Sea's Voyage.'

Suddenly, I get an idea, and it seemed Zarcrix knew what he was doing when he was telling me about Isis.

"Oh, Great Marizdal! I have a proposition for you!" I yell, wondering what he would say.

He pauses, interested in my ideas.

"Go on…" he says.

"I know that Isis is fading! And I know how to help her, and all the Egyptians!" I yell.

"Go on" he says.

"I will save her, and the Egyptian demigods, if you help us in our journey to stop the primordials!" I yell.

"I like your idea Greek" says Marizdal.

I sigh in relief. "Thank you" I say.

"You must tell me how you will save Mother Isis" says Marizdal.

"I will bring this army to the Egyptian camp, and slaughter all the Zormos! This will save the demigods, allowing Isis to have kids again, so she has enough believers to live." I yell.

"Very well, I shall help you, but you must save the Egyptians and Mother Isis" says Marizdal.

He sinks into the ocean, obviously to follow us. Zarcrix suddenly jumps off the boat and I watch as he morphs into dragon form, disappearing beneath the waves.

Long Island was now visible on the horizon. We were nearly there, nearly home.

Third person POV

Nyx looked at the exit from Tartarus, her prison. She wanted to be done with this, and get revenge on Ouranos. With a growl, she tears up through the hole, and into the open sunlight.

She looks around, finding herself in an open field. She takes a deep breath of good air, and sets off to find Zarcrix, her father.

She flies towards the ocean, where she felt the power of Zarcrix coming from. The only problem with being in a deity was their power could be sensed from hundreds of miles away, because they were so powerful.

Nyx headed towards the coast of America.

Percy POV

I could see Long Island in the distance, and 'Sea's Voyage' was speeding towards it. As we approached, I notice the Greek demigods supporting Craig lined up on the beach, holding weapons, obviously waiting for our return. I narrow my eyes. I summon a massive tidal wave and down them all.

'Sea's Voyage' pulls up on the beach, ready to meet 150 angry, armed, soaked demigods. The Romans draw their weapons, so do I, and the rest of the Greeks.

"REMEMBER! NO KILLING!" I yell, and we jump off the ship.

Suddenly Zeus appears in a flash of light, with a smirk on his face.

"Jackson" he says with a grin. "You're a hard man to find, but now you will die" Zeus says, growling slightly.

"Oi Zeus! Come at me!" yells Zarcrix, appearing next to me.

"You" Zeus says, glaring at him.

Zeus lunges at him, drawing his master bolt and firing off lightning bolts. Zarcrix just raises an eyebrow and picks up a small stone. Then he throws it at Zeus's head as hard as he could. The stone flew at Zeus and embedded itself into Zeus's forehead.

"ARGHH!" he yells. He clutches his forehead in pain.

Zarcrix just tilts his head to the side, watching Zeus roll around on the beach. Zarcrix suddenly develops a smile, and turns the sand underneath Zeus into mud. Zeus finally got up and looked at the mud all over him. His eyes narrowed and he tried to lunge at Zarcrix only to find his feet stuck. Zeus looked down and saw his feet, covered in mud. He tried to move but the mud held his feet in place.

I laugh and turn around to see all the demigods on Craig's side lying on the ground nursing broken legs and arms. Zeus teleports out of the mud. I look at Zeus and couldn't help but laugh, he was covered head to toe in mud, and looked ridiculous. He growls at Zarcrix, who was taking photos of Zeus. Zeus lunges at him and attempts to throttle him only for Zarcrix to hold up his hand and send him flying back into his own cabin.

Zeus's anger was easy to see. He leaps at Zarcrix, lightning bolts flying all over the place, but Zarcrix just swings his fist into Zeus's jaw, stunning him and knocking him off his feet. Zarcrix looks at Zeus, who was now glaring at him with so much intensity the worlds bravest and strongest man would pee himself and run. Zarcrix however, just stands there, not even caring about Zeus's flaring aura.

Zarcrix runs at Zeus and lets loose a wave of green fire, burning Zeus's beard to a crisp and blackening his face. Zeus looks at Zarcrix in fear and flashes away. I look at the Zeus cabin and see Craig, glaring at Zarcrix.

I narrow my eyes at him. He looks around and spots me.

"JACKSON!" he yells, leaping at me.

I rush to engage him in battle. He shoots a bolt of lightning at me which I deflect using force magic. I summon water from the lake and shape it like a trident. I throw it at the back of his head, stunning him, allowing me to draw riptide. He draws his own blade and sparks fly as our blades connect.

I swing riptide towards his knee but quickly bring it up and slice his right arm before he has time to react. With a small smile, I feign to his left arm and slice his thigh. He howls in pain and swings wildly at my head. I duck under the sloppy swing of the sword and slice his shin with riptide.

I force him backward with force magic and send a wave of water knocking him off his feet. He tries to get back up but fails. He sends a lightning bolt at me which I send straight back at with force magic, frying him due to the water, but not killing him because of his resistance to magic.

I sprint up to him and elbow him in the head, rendering him unconscious.

I then walk to Argus and tell him to send Craig to the empire state building. Argus just blinks at me with his hundred eyes and takes Craig to the van.

I watch Craig get driven away and turn back to the camp, only to find it tripled in size, with heaps of cabins. But the funny thing was it took up no more space than usual.

"Umm… Zarcrix? How did you manage this in 5 minutes?" I ask.

"Umm… Percy? I'm the lord of 200 universes" he says.

I roll my eyes at him and watch the Romans settling into their temporary cabins. I notice a blond-haired boy slipping through the shadows, avoiding everyone. I follow him through camp and into the forest. He slips into a small area, and I watch in disbelief as he draws a bronze and gold blade from a sheath at his side.

"Oh, Great Lord Order! I have bad news on the plan of the primordials!" he says.

I nearly gasp, but I manage to stop myself.

"There is a 13-year-old who beat up Zeus effortlessly, and it seems he is on Jackson's side." The boy says to a misty screen in front of him.

"That is bad news Octavian. Dispose of him, in his sleep, anything." Says who I assumed was Order.

"Yes Master" says Octavian.

"We are being watched" says Order suddenly, narrowing his eyes.

Octavian gets up, his sword in his hands. I knew it was time to go. I force the air to allow me to speed through the forest and back to camp half-blood.

I rush to where Zarcrix was sitting.

"Zarcrix, there's a boy called Octavian, who's attempting to kill you, thinking you're a threat. He works for the primordials. Their leader is Order." I say.

"Tell me everything" Zarcrix says, narrowing his eyes.

I spent the next 15 minutes telling him what I had seen.

"My nephew is rising the primordials, and attacking the earth, at the same time as possibly Xorgaz." Zarcrix says grimly. "We could be in for the biggest war earth has ever experienced."

AN: Thanks for reading. Sorry for not updating in a while, I have been getting a bit lazy. I seem to remember saying this story would only be 5 chapters long in chapter 1. Well, that was true (not). Please review, and I hope you enjoyed, see you next chapter!
