Back to Son of the Sorceress
Chapter 4:Fighting with Beefcake
STORY START
Entering the apartment complex where Percy lived, Naruto immediately took note that it was a rather run down building most likely something a person won in game of poker from the lack of repairs and its run down signboard.
Following Percy through the hallways Naruto found it was unsurprisingly almost devoid of life only one person every few floors.
Finally reaching Percy's room Percy was the first to enter and before he could close the door Naruto followed him in.
Peering inside Naruto was disgusted by the sight before him inside where three fat man each looking morbidly obese playing poker and by the look of it they had been there the whole day the TV was even on although no one was watching at all.
"So your back again huh kid?" one of the men asked Percy.
"Where's my mom?" Percy asked back not answering or ignoring the man's question.
"Working got any cash?" the man asked once more.
"I don't have any." Percy answered back.
"You took a taxi from the bus station you have six, seven bucks in change. Somebody who expects to live under this roof ought to carry his own weight. Am I right, Eddie?" the man asked one of his companions.
"C'mon Gabe kid just got back and all" Eddie answered
"Am I right" Gabe repeated this time with more force.
Eddie however didn't answer instead passed gas with the other friend in synchrony disgusting Naruto how grown men could live like this.
"Fine" Percy said as he scowled and pulled out the change he go from his cab ride.
"I wouldn't act so high and mighty if I were you. Your report card game in bird brain." Gabe said not even looking up from his card game.
Leaving Gabe and his buddies behind Naruto followed Percy to what seemed to be Percy's room only to find the place filled with empty beer bottles and car magazines.
"Home sweet home" Percy said as he put his suitcase down.
"Percy are you home?" Naruto heard a woman's voice come out.
"Oh my you've grown since Christmas" The woman Naruto now identified as Percy's mother came into Percy's room and gave him a hug as she looked him over. This made Naruto smile he was fond of watching sons connect with their mothers as they reminded him of his time with either Hecate or Artemis.
"Hey Sally how about getting us some bean dip huh" Naruto heard Gabe shout across the room and he could hear Percy's teeth grit in annoyance of Gabe's treatment of his mother. Naruto was no better of as he hated those who mistreated women.
"Percy is there something wrong" Percy's mother asked.
"No" Percy lied through his teeth.
"Well I have a surprise for you were going to the beach" Percy heard his mother say.
"Montauk?" Percy asked.
"Yes same cabin three nights" Sally confirmed for Percy.
"When are we going" Percy asked.
"After I get dressed" his mother answered.
"Hey Sally didn't you hear me" Gabe said as he appeared at the doorway of Percy's room.
"I was on my way Dear. I was just telling Percy about the trip" she told Gabe.
"The trip? You mean you were serious about that?" Gabe eyes squinted in slight anger.
"I knew it he won't let us go." Naaruto heard Percy mutter under his breath.
"Of course he will your step-father is just worried about money. That's all besides Gabriel won't have to settle for bean dip. I'll make him enough seven-layer dip for the whole weekend, Guacamole, Sour cream the works." Naruto heard Percy's mother say
"So this money for your trip it comes out of your clothes budget, right?" Gabe asked making sure he was not spending a cent on this trip.
"Yes Dear" Percy heard his mother answer.
"And you won't take my car anywhere but there and back." Gabe confirmed.
"We'll be very careful." Percy's mother answered.
"Maybe if you hurry with that seven-layer dip ... And maybe if the kid apologizes for interrupting my poker game." Gabe said.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry I interrupted your incredibly important poker game. Please go back to it right now." Percy said half-heartedly.
"Yeah whatever" Gabe said as he left.
"Thank you Percy once we get to Montauk we'll talk more about whatever you've forgotten to tell me okay?" Percy's mom said to him.
Naruto watched as the mother and son Duo went to get ready for their trip. Even Gabe stopped playing poker for a while to give some warning to Percy.
"Not a scratch on this car bird brain not one little scratch." Gabe threatened Percy.
As Naruto watched Percy and his mother drive off. He immediately turned off his invisibility and quietly snuck up on Gabe as he was about to go back to his game.
Grabbing Gabe from behind chocking him slightly Naruto went and gave a warning of his own.
"You know that woman deserves more than you so does her son and if I see you doing something like that again I will end your miserable mortal life understand." Naruto threatened to which Gabe nodded.
Not wanting to let Gabe off easily Naruto knocked him out leaving him on the stairwell.
'Now how to get there?' naruto thought to himself as he searched for his way to Montauk.
(Montauk later that night)
'Damn it where could they be' Naruto thought to himself as he searched for signs of Percy and his mother.
Finally locating the car they borrowed from Gabe suddenly the winds started to pick up the sure telltale signs of a storm.
Seeing something moving in the distance Naruto moved to follow it finding it to be Grover in full satyr form. Running through the rain that had just started to fall to start of a heavy downpour as Naruto would notice.
Casting a minor spell to keep the rain from touching his skin Naruto followed Grover (A/N: it looks like rain falls on him but it slips past his body so he stays dry). Following Grover he managed to find him approach a hut by the sea where he found Gabe's car which Percy and his mother borrowed from Gabe.
Approaching the hut he found that they were wide awake from Grover's entrance he could see that Percy, Percy's mother and Grover were running to the car and that they had left him behind as they headed for Camp Half-Blood.
'Damn took me a few hours to find them and now I was ditched again' Naruto thought as he followed them to Camp Half-Blood only to stop as he heard a large bellow from behind him. Looking behind to see a Minotaur coming out of the woods just behind him.
'Interesting' Naruto thought as he jumped out of the way of the Minotaur who charged straight at him.
Before the Minotaur could turn around and charge at him again he merely chanted out "αστραπή"(lightning) which allowed Naruto to manipulate the already present lightning and focus it into a giant beam of electricity and sent it straight at the Minotaurs chest killing it instantly. Of course Naruto could generate his own electricity but it was better to use the already present electricity to save power.
Watching as the Minotaur dissolved into gold dust Naruto approached to pick up is spoil of was which was the Minotaur's horns.
Finally reaching the camp via short teleportation spell he found that another Minotaur was already there and had engaged the group in battle. Moving closer to help Percy he found that the Minotaur had grabbed Percy's mother.
"Percy run!" He heard Percy's mother say just before she was engulfed in golden powder signifying that someone had taken her.
"Mom!" Percy yelled as he went into a rage.
Percy in a rage charged at the Minotaur managing to break one of its horns before he was sent flying back from a backhand from the Minotaur.
'That's enough' Naruto thought as he materialized from the mist a bow and arrow. Aiming carefully he released the arrow which hit the Minotaur right at its forehead.
'Bulls eye' Naruto thought as he approached the fading from of the Minotaur to pick up the other horn. He would let Percy keep the other since he did help somewhat.
Moving towards Percy he found Grover face first on the ground unconscious. Moving to pick him up Grover let out a few moans.
"Food" Grover said weakly as he was hefted on to Naruto's shoulder.
Moving to Percy Naruto found that he was already attended to by a girl around Percy's age with Chiron right behind her.
"I believe you lost this one" Naruto said jokingly as he approached the three.
"Grover what did you do to him?" the blond girl asked bringing out a dagger ready to fight.
"Whoa there I didn't do anything he was already unconscious" Naruto said calmingly fighting was going to do no good here.
"Annabeth stand down he is friendly. Naruto I see you have arrived as well." Chiron said as he strutted over to Naruto.
"Not too soon to save his mother" Naruto said looking a bit disappointed with himself.
"Things like that happen" Chiron said as he helped NAruto with Grover so Naruto could help Annabeth carry Percy.
"Where should we bring them?" Naruto asked as he walked down the hill with Annabeth and Chiron.
"Over there we will let Percy rest in the medical house for now" Chiron said as he pointed over to a hut near the tallest building.
Entering Naruto helped Annabeth put Percy onto a cot while Chiron did the same for Grover.
"Well if that's it I'll see you guys in the morning" Naruto said as he climbed into a cot falling asleep almost instantly.
"Chiron who is he?" Annabeth asked Chiron.
"A most surprising demigod I believe he himself will tell you but for now let them rest it's not like they will leave suddenly" Chiron said jokingly as he escorted Annabeth out.
(The Next Morning)
Naruto had finally woken up he was in full health he was merely tired from overusing his teleportation spell yesterday.
"Good Morning" Naruto said as he greeted Annabeth who was in the room tending to Percy.
"Ah good morning how are you awake you should be asleep?" Annabeth asked bluntly.
"It's a gift from my birth I have always been able to heal very quickly" Naruto answered not bothered by the bluntness of the question.
"Since we haven't really introduced ourselves yesterday my name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said as he stood up from the cot.
"Annabeth, Annabeth Chase your name sounds Japanese" Annabeth replied.
"Yeah you could say I was born in place where we spoke a similar dialect" Naruto said confusing Annabeth a bit.
"What do you mean?" Annabeth asked.
"Oh you'll find out where's Chiron?" Naruto aske das he walked to the door.
"He's at the big house next to this hut" Annabeth said as she went back to tending for Percy all the while planning to find out what Naruto was hiding and why did he look familiar to her.
Reaching the big house Naruto saw that Chiron was playing a game with another man.
"Lord Dionysus it's a pleasure to see you here" Naruto said when he recognized the other man who was wearing his distinguishing leopard spot Hawaiian shirt.
"Hmm oh brat goodie you're here perhaps now the camp won't be as dull." Dionysus said with a grin on his face.
"I'll try not to disappoint" Naruto said with an equally large grin on his face.
"So it is true you do quests for the gods." Chiron said as he stroked his chin in thought.
"Yeah the brat is the only demigod the twelve of us like to use for quests. The brat is trustworthy like that." Dionysus said as he took a sip of his coke.
"Well now what do I get a tour or something?" Naruto asked Chiron who brought out a sack of drachma as per their agreement and handed it to Naruto.
"Here's your payment and i will have a camper show you around follow me" Chiron said as he gestured for Naruto to follow him.
"Clarrise" Chiron shouted out to one of the girls who was passing by and gestured for her to come closer.
"Yeah what do you need Chiron" Clarisse said gruffly.
"Please show Mr. Uzumaki around the camp I have a masters class to manage" Chiron said as he left Naruto with Clarisse.
"Well newbie follow me" Clarisse said roughly as she walked away meaning for Naruto to follow.
'Well that's one way to give a tour' Naruto thought sarcastically.
