Time Skip 18 years
He was a marine for 8 years, he was a hero. He was captured and tortured but still returned home alive. He still made it back to his wife and daughter. He was 27.
He was tied up. He was forced to sit there and watch as they poured gasoline over bound bodies of his wife and his 5 year old daughter. They sat there and forced his eyes open as they lit the match. He screamed but it couldn't be heard through the gag. He prayed and prayed, but knew that they wouldn't come. He was in the land beyond gods. They couldn't hear him.
And so he sat. Helpless, hopeless, and scared. The man dropped the match. He burst out crying as his family was destroyed all in one instant. They hit him in the back of the head and everything went dark.
He woke up inside a burning building. His head was bleeding and his chair was overturned on the floor with him still in it. There was a knife on the floor next to him. He scooted over and cut the ropes that bound him to the chair. He ran outside and looked back to see his house for the last 9 years going up in flames. He collapsed into the snow and cried.
Percy Jackson, now 36 woke up gasping. It was 4am and he had to get ready. He packed up his bags with clothes and toiletries. He tied up his boots and put on his jacket. He then looked in the mirror.
Percy was 6 foot 11 and had a scruffy jet black beard. He was wearing jungle camo pants and a matching jacket. He was also wearing black boots and a tight black shirt. All in all Percy was a very intimidating figure and was someone that you did not want to mess with.
He started his day off with 100 push-ups, followed by 100 pull-ups. He then ran 3 miles through the snow. After that he visited his wife and daughter's grave before returning home. When he finally finished it was around 6 a.m. Percy picked up his bag from the front door and got into his 1964 Chevrolet pickup. He a CD into the player and turned the radio's volume up.
I'm out the gate like a race horse, made in the A of course
That's A for Alabama, I'll be damned if I say Georgia
Tennessee in this bitch, I got some Hennessy that's paid for
Give me the big bottle, fuck it, if I break it, I'll pay for it
My ladies laying in the Chevrolet and I say "Lord
Thank you for giving me this baby girl on a suede horse"
Yeah, this ain't no gay Ford
I'm pushing bow ties till I die
And I'm gonna ride 'til my legs sore
Vogues I got a set "Four"
Plus a Beretta sitting in the floor
Better protect yours
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Got that Glock laid in my lap
In case you want to play
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Let's go get you all cleaned up
And ride around all day
hitting them corners on the low pro's, girl
(Still) I'm an American Rock N Roll grand baby
Five generations of taking pictures with Grand-Ams
The Chevrolet Slim Shady, there's no way you can save me
Bass boat flakes, you never seen such
Roll down my window like "Who I am doesn't mean much"
Burning tread off a thousand-dollar tires with a clean touch
Six hundred horses running behind the mean clutch, bitch I'm
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Got that Glock laid in my lap
In case you want to play
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Let's go get you all cleaned up
And ride around all day
Yeah, windows washed, looking like a glass house
Glaze on the dash, leather is smelling like Ralph Lauren
Feels like I'm watching television on a couch snorin'
I must be dreaming leaning back inside this chariot
Hitch on the back of this truck, my Harley I carry it
A chalice in wonderland, fill up my cup with
Jack D and take my fucking keys so that I don't, wreck it
Let me come sit on the passenger side and check it
How does it feel from over here? Oh, bless it
This is for all the Chevy's that I collected
Big trucks, low riders, whatever the best is
To you man I just want to give you a message
Uh', I used to sit on sidewalks like everyday
Watching punks and chumps in donks get hella paid
But I just focused on my vision and never quittin'
Now man I'm sittin' in my vision with a reason to celebrate, I'm
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Got that Glock laid in my lap
In case you want to play
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Let's go get you all cleaned up
And ride around all day
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Got that Glock laid in my lap
In case you want to play
In my Chevrolet
My box Chevrolet
Let's go get you all cleaned up
And ride around all day
After a while of driving Percy made it to the airport that would take him to California. Two of his old military friends, that were like family to him, invited him over to camp in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Park. He was to land in Mammoth Yosemite Airport and get picked up where he and his friend would drive 56 miles to Bridgeport, California. They would then drive 111 miles to the national park. He was also going to spend Christmas with them a few days later.
He got on his plane and decided to sleep. When he woke up the plane had landed and everyone was starting to debark. Percy unbuckled himself and did the same. Once he got off, he noticed a sign that said P.J and saw one of his best friends under it. As soon as she noticed him, she dropped the sign and lunged at Percy, enveloping him in a hug. "I missed you so much" she said. Percy chuckled and hugged her back. "Sam, I just saw you guys for Thanksgiving". The newly christened Sam replied "I know, but that was 3 whole weeks ago" He smiled and rolled his eyes. "Let's just go".
They got in the car and drove to Sam's house. When they arrived Sam went into the house first and shouted "Girls, guess who's here". Suddenly 2 identical 5 year old little girls come running down the stairs. They both shout "Uncle P!" and run towards Percy who crouches down and picks both of them up before twirling them through the air. "Kaitlyn, Rebecca, how are my two favorite little girls doing, I missed you so much." They laugh and say "Uncle P we saw just 3 weeks ago" Percy replies "I know, but 3 weeks is a really long time"
Sam mutters "Hypocrite". Percy hearing this sets the girls down and turns to her. He then says "No, this is different, I actually like them" She pouts and hits him "Asshole". Percy gasps in mock shock, "I can't believe it, not only are you exposing your kids to violence but also to such horrible language. I raised you better than that." "Well, there was a reason we called you helicopter. You were a worse helicopter parent than my own mom" she replied. Percy responded "That's because if I didn't, you probably would have gotten yourself killed. Besides, I was a wonderful mom" Sam sighed "Whatever let's just start dinner"
"Oh, no" he said "I will cook dinner while you relax. You deserve it. Plus you don't know how to cook." "That's not true, she makes a pretty mean ham sandwich" said a figure walking through the front door. "Ethan, how's it going" Percy asked. "Pretty good, other than the fact that you're here" Ethan smiled and the two men hugged. "Hey, let's be honest here. It's pretty damn difficult to fuck up a ham sandwich" Percy said. "You're so mean to me" Sam said. "Hey, it's not mean if it's true" Ethan and Percy said in unison. They then high fived. Sam just rolled her eyes and walked upstairs, muttering "boys".

Percy set down everyone's plate before sitting down at the table. They all ate just like one big family. "So" he said "what's the plan" Ethan replied "Well, we are going to sleep here tonight and head out tomorrow. We got our neighbor Jessica to watch the kids for a few days, and then we should be back the day before Christmas Eve." "Sounds good" Percy replied.
They finished their meal and got the kids ready for bed. As soon as the little ones left the adults broke out the drinks and started talking about the good old days. After a few hours and a drinking competition (Percy won and Ethan passed out) they all got ready for bed. Percy went upstairs to the guest room and took off his shirt and boots before climbing into bed.
*Time Skip*
I feel like I have used too many of these. From here on out I promise to not use another time skip for the rest of the chapter.
Percy woke up to the smell of burnt bacon. He turned to the dresser and checked the time. It was 10 am which was unusual for him but he did get drunk the night before. He got out of bed, yawned, stretched, and walk down stairs.
He walked into the dining room and sat down at the table before seeing a blushing girl that looked about 16. He smiled before saying "Hi, I'm Percy". He reached out his hand and the girl took it. She then replied with "I'm Jessica" while still blushing. "That's a very pretty name" Percy said. He then heard someone in the doorway shout "Percy, I can't believe you dress like that with a guest around". Percy was confused at Sam's word and looked to see what was wrong before realizing he was still shirtless and barefoot. He blushed and then went back to the guest room.
Percy came back dressed the same as yesterday except his shirt was forest green and he didn't have the jacket. "Sorry about that, I had a little too much to drink last night" he apologized. Ethan groaned from the doorway "Uhh tell me about it" before groggily sitting down. Sam then brought out 6 plates that had black bacon with hashbrowns and eggs to match. Percy just looked skeptically at the plate and then took a bite. "I gotta say these are the best burnt eggs I have ever had" he said while trying (and failing) not to gag. "Oh come on, they can't be that bad" same said. She then proceeded to take a bite which resulted in her almost throwing up. Percy just smiled and said "how about I go and grab all of us 2 breakfast sandwiches each" "Yes please" Sam said causing Ethan, Kaitlyn, Rebecca, and even Jessica to cheer. Percy just grabbed the keys and walked out the door.
*Time Skip*
After Percy saved breakfast and the 3 grownups start heading to Humboldt-Toiyabe National Park. Look, I know I said I wasn't going to use any more but I have a really good excuse. I lied.
"Jessica totally has a crush on you" Ethan said to Percy. "I could tell but it's perfectly natural. When I was her age I had a crush on a few ladies quite a bit older than me" Percy replied while thinking of his two favorite goddesses Artemis and Hestia. Ok girls, stop your gossiping cause we're here" Sam said from the front seat. They all got out and set up the tents, one for Percy and one for Sam and Ethan to share. Percy went to grab some random sticks for firewood when he heard a feminine scream. Instantly recognizing Ethan's scream, he pulled out his glock (being an ex marine he never went anywhere without it) and ran towards the noise.
He reached the campsite and saw a small army of monsters in front of his friends, and since both Ethan and Sam were clear sighted they could see them perfectly well . "Run!" Percy yelled before switching the clip in his glock for a special one filled with celestial bronze bullets. Since celestial bronze bullets were hard to come by he ran out pretty quickly. He then took out two imperial gold hunting knives and got into stance. Percy sprinted straight towards a hellhound and slid underneath it, slicing its stomach open in the process. He got up and kicked a cyclops in the chest with both feet causing it to fall, he used the cyclops to propel himself away and threw one of his knife into the forehead of a dracaena. The cyclops that fell, also killing a few hellhounds by falling on them, received the other knife in his eye as soon as he tried to get up causing him to disintegrate. Percy was out of all weapons but one. He reached into his pocket and uncapped his pen for the first time in years. He then jumped into battle, showing no mercy.
He fought like a demon. He slashed, cut, blocked, parried, dodged, and even punched. He did everything he could to win the battle. By the time the fighting started to die down Percy stood with his back against a cliff. There was 10 hellhounds, 5 cyclops, and 2 dracaena left, just a fraction of the previous army. But Percy was tired. He had been fighting for hours and was injured. His jacket was completely ruined and his shirt wasn't that far behind. He was covered in cuts and claw marks and bleeding everywhere. Just when he thought his luck couldn't get any worse, he heard a roar. From the trees came the minotaur. That was the last straw for him. Je gave a feral growl and screamed at the minotaur. "Come at me beefhead. I'm tired of you why won't you just die". The minotaur charged at Percy and swung his axe horizontally at him. In a bout of strength that surprised even Percy, he stopped it with his sword. Capitalizing on the minotaur's surprise, he cut off the hands holding the axe and then kicked his knee, breaking it. "It's about time I get your other horn" Percy said before slicing it off. He then stuck his sword through the minotaur's chest and sliced upwards cleaving him in half.
Tired and injured he fell to his knees thinking that the other monsters were going to finish him off. The last thing he heard before passing out was a hunting horn and he saw a rain of silber arrows descend upon the monsters.
AN: Just a few things I want to clear up Percy is a marine. The beginning happens when he is 27, 9 years later he is 36 when he wakes. Ethan and Sam are married and 4 years younger than Percy. They have 5 year old twins. Percy met them after serving 4 years. Ethan and Sam are clear sighted. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed, even though I'm not the best writer please review because it does mean a lot.
