Chapter 4

Time Skip: Grayhound Bus

Third POV:

The trio were on the bus, but unknown to them they were being watched by four figures. Three of subcultures were old women age of about 50. The other figure was a twelve years old boy.

When the three women started to walk towards the trio, the boy threw a small pearl of Greek fire which caused an explosion. He came to the window that was broken and threw therein of the bus. He turned to the three women who turned into the furies. The boy changed his looks to his original which caused the furies to stare at him in sock, fear and anger. They launched at him but the boy was quickerd summoned his sword and swang at the first fury which dissolved into golden dust. He ducked under the next one and stabbed her in the chest while she was above him. The final, Alecto, used her whip to grab my arm and pull me over. He rolled his eyes at her attempt and pulled my arm towards his chest with all my might causing fury who still held the whip fly over to me. He simply put his sword in front of himself which ended up on her impaling herself on his sword. The boy got out of the bus, not even 10 feet away from the bus and it exploded.

He followed the trio to Aunty Em's Garden Gnome Emporium which caused him to roll his eyes. 'Well done boys. Yea, go to Medusa's lair when one of you is son of Poseidon. Lucky there is no daughter of Athena.' He thought to himself. He followed them inside and while she and the trio were talking he went to her office. He searched her office and found some Hermes Overnight Express slips to Underworld at the adress of DOA Recording Studios.

DOA.

Dead On Arrival.

He packed one of the slips into his back pocket and grabbed an empty one. He turned around and spotted something odd on a shelf. A shoe box. He walked over to the shelf and opened the box, he nearly dropped it in shock and supprise. Inside the box were the original winged shoes Hermes gave to his namesake, Perseus, who left them in her lair when he killed her. It seems that the shoes also moved with the Western Civilization. He slipped the winged shoes on his feet and made the wings disappear temporarily and waked outside just to hear a girly scream. 'Orion…' He sighed mentaly. He summoned his sword and shield and run towards Medusa. When he spotted her she was chasing 'Screaming Orion'. 'Screaming Orion'? a nickname he made for Orion who always screamed like a girl.

He saw her closing in on him so he inteerfered and with a quick move cut her head off. He picked up the head and used his water powers to wash away the golden dust she left. He went over to the office but first dropped the Hermes Overnight Express slip in front of Orion, next to a burger so he was sure Orion saw it. The boy went back to the office and picked up two boxes. In one he put the head with a warning.

Warning!

Stone turning head inside of Medusa.

Please take care when opening.

He then put the box into a bigger box so no one knew there was Medusa head inside. He filled out the Hermes Delivery slip and put it on the box. The slip said.

Queen Hera

Mount Olympus

600th Floor,

Empire State Building

New York, NY

He poured some golden drachmasin the pouch. As soon as he closed it, there wass a sound like a cash register. The package floated off the table and disappeared with a pop!

The trio went on a train to Los Angeles but had to stop in St. Louis for three hours when one from the trip suggested to look at the view from the Gateway Arch. The boy, Percy, followed them on top of the Arch when he saw something that made his blood boil. A woman with a forked toung and a Chihuahua. But that wasn't just any Chihuahua, that was Chimera. The same Chimera that killed his mother and in return he killed him while still being a toddler. When everyone started walking to the elevator to leave it was just him, Orion, woman - with the forked toung which must be Echidna - and her Chihuahua and only one place in elevator. Percy let Orion take the spot. When the elevator door closed Percy turned towards the woman and Chihuaha.

"What are you doing here?" He glared at her.

"What do you mean?" She asked with a sweet tone.

"Don't try to fool me. You realy thought I didn't see your forked toung and Chimera here" He pointed at the Chihuahua.

"Well. I only expected three demigos here. And I'm-" he cut here of short

"Echidna the anteater. Yes I know"

"I hate it when people say that! I hate Australia! Naming a ridiculous animal after me. For that, my son shall destroy you!"

"Just like he meant twelve years ago? When he killed my mother, and in revange I killed him while still being a month old toddler?" He asked which caused her look at me with even more hatred.

"It was you! I wanted my sont to kill you but now, we both shall do it!"

"Then let's dance" Percy said while summoning his armor , shield and sword. Chimera changed into his original form. He blew a torrent of fire at me which Percy doused with a torrent of water. He then engulfed his sword with partialy shadows, poisonous water, lightning and Greek Fire. He blocked Chimera's every strike, he ducked under his tail and swiftly cut it off causing Chimera to roar in pain. He then jumped onto its back and put the goat head in a head lock strangling one of his head. Luckily for his the heads were so they couldn't twist and help other. When he felt the goat head stop fighting he let go of it an grobbed the lion head, leaving dragon head for last as dragon skin would make it twice as hard. Percy strangled lion head in a minute and started stangling dragon head. Percy remembered Echidna was still there and concentrated on the blood in her body and toke complete control over her body. He turned back to the dragon head who fought for control but with every second the attempts were less vigorous. Finally the last head stopped fighing and Chimera's body exploded into golden dust leaving its pelt and three skulls of each head. He turned back to Echidna, (I thought to make Echidna look like I think she does)a half snake half human figure with two leathery wings. Her skin was a light green colour and instead of hair she had long but thin snakes like Medusa and little horns could be seen between them. On top of her head was a beautiful golden tiara with a round red ruby. She was holding a unique spear. The spear had a silver shaft with a purple ruby at the bottom and a black blade at the top with red outlines. Around the shaft there were two golden lines in a spiral all along the shaft. The spirals looked as if they were added after the shaft was made as they were sticking out. She held the spear in her hand, umm, well not a hand. Instead of hands she had eagle talons. Her tail had a row running down the middle of it as it the tail could separate in two. She had nothing over her human part of the body, showing her breast.

Percy released the hold on Echidna's blood and made a hand gesture for come over.

"Come on oh great Echidna, Mother of All Monsters." He taunted, "Show me what you've got!"

She charged at him with her spear, her skills were amazing but his were better. Every attack he blocked with ease while she strugled to get past his defence. Suddenly he changed from defensive to offensife and attacked her. This time she strugled as he attacked with ease. He jumped buying her and wth a swing of a sword her wings were not part of her body anymore. She screamed in pain and lunged herself at him but he rolled to a side and summoned his spear stabbed her in the tail effectively pinning her dowh to the floor. While she struggled trying to take out his spear, he sliced her hands(talons) off and sliced through her hair getting het tiara off. He then stabbed her in the chest. Her body slowly dissolved into golden dust leaving behind her talons, tiara, spear, and wings. Percy picked the spoils of war and packed them into his Infinite Pouch. He walked towards the elevator to catch up with the trío.

They were back on the train. Their train stops in Denver from where they will have to get to Los Angeles on their own. The train stoped in Denver after the 20h journey (I got the times from Amtrak site), but unfortunately they had no money because Percy chucked them out of the Greyhound bus without their bag. They went looking for a dinner and after few minutes the trio were sitting at a booth. A rumble shook the whole building; a motorcycle the size of a baby elephant had pulled up to the curb. All conversation in the diner stopped. The motorcycle's headlight glared red. Its gas tank had flames painted on it, and a shotgun holster riveted to either side, complete with shotguns. The seat was leather-but leather that looked like ... Well, Caucasian human skin.

The guy on the bike would've made pro wrestlers run for Mama. He was dressed in a red muscle shirt and black jeans and a black leather duster, with a hunting knife strapped to his thigh. He wore red wraparound shades, and he had the cruelest, most brutal face he'd ever seen- handsome, Percy guess, but wicked-with an oily black crew cut and cheeks that were scarred from many, many fights. The weird thing was, Percy felt like he'd seen his face somewhere before.

As he walked into the diner, a hot, dry wind blew through the place. All the people rose, as if they were hyp-notized, but the biker waved his hand dismissively and they all sat down again. Everybody went back to their conversa-tions. The waitress blinked, as if somebody had just pressed the rewind button on her brain. She asked us again, "You kids have money to pay for it?"

The biker said, "It's on me. " He slid into trio's booth.

He looked up at the waitress, who was gaping at him, and said, "Are you still here?"

He pointed at her, and she stiffened. She turned as if she'd been spun around, then marched back toward the kitchen.

The biker looked at Orion. Percy couldn't see his eyes behind the red shades, but bad feelings started boiling in my stom-ach. Anger, resentment, bitterness. Percy wanted to hit a wall. He wanted to pick a fight with somebody. 'Who did this guy think he was?' He thought. 'Ares' He growled in rage, one of his birth mother's rapists.

He gave Orion a wicked grin. "So you're old Seaweed's kid, huh?"

"D-dad?" said both Jack and Jake in perfect unision.

"Hey kidos," He replied

"You're Ares. God of War." Said Orion

"No shit Sherlok, I got a proposition for you."

"What is it dad?" Said Jack.

"I want you to retrive my shield. I left it in the abandoned Water Park nearby after my date with my girlfriend was cut short."

"We'll do it!" Shouted Jake.

"What will we get from it?" Asked Orion.

"A ride to Las Vegas" With that he disappeared.

"Let's go!"

After the trio retrived Ares' shield to him, he gave them a bag and a ride to Vegas in a Kindness International truck. Percy got a taxi to Vegas but slept most of its way. When he got to Vegas he saw the truck with the trio behind them. He left the cab and started to run after the trio's truck. When they stopped they went into Lotus Casino and Hotel which angered Percy because they are wasting time. He walked inside the casino and recieved a infinity card with an infinite amount of money. As he walked around the casino he spoted two kids, one of them was a girls around thirteen years old and the other was a boy around age of eleven years old. They both looked very much alike with the pale skil and obsydian black eyes and midnight black hair. What shocked him the most about those kids was their scent. It smelled of death meaning they must be children of a Underworld deity like Hades and Thanatos. He followed them till they were alone.

"Hey!" Percy shouted at them, "do you know the way back to the hotel? It's my first day here and I can't find the way."

They looked at each other and shrugged. "Yea, follow us." The girl replied. They wlake dcin silence until Percy's ADHD started to act.

"So how long have you been here?"

"Few weeks, maybe months." She replied.

"From what it looks like you are bored in here."

"Yeah. We'd love to leave this place but every time we try the security stops us." The boy said.

"How about I help you? I'm leaving this place soon, I only stopped by. Oh, by the way. What us your name?"

"My name is Bianca di Angelo and this is my brother Nico. What's yours?" The girl, Bianca said.

"Percy Jackson," he said.

"Could you really help us get out of here?" Nico asked Percy.

"Yeah, but I need to tell you something first."

"Do you know anything about Greek Mythology?"

"Like Hades, Poseidon and Zeus?"

"Yes. I will tell you something you must keep secret. Greek gods are alive. And you are demi-gods. Meaning you are a child of a god and mortal."

"If we are a child of a god who is he/she?" Bianca asked.

"I'm not sure yet but it's a god or a goddess from the Underworld."

"Arevyou a demi-god too?" Nico asked

"Yes I am," he answered.

"Who is your parent then?"

"It's a secret for now until I reveal myself to the council."

"So what are really doing here?" Bianca asked.

"I'm following a quest and saving their lives. Already I saved them three times."

"What quest? Saved them from what?"

The trio are on a quest to retrieve Zeus' master Bolt. I saved them from hades' furies, Medusa, Chimera and Echidna." Percy said while they stared at him wide eyes and mouths hanging wide open.

"Wow, a Chimera." Nico said.

"Chimera wasn't a problem. I killed him when I was a month old."

"Wow," Bianca said. Son of Hera chuckled at her praise.

"I need to get them out of this hell hole. I don't even know how long we spent here. This cursed place bends time making people think they are here shorter than it is actually outside." He said.

"Bends time? Please tell me it's 1940," Bianca said causing Percy to look at her in utter shock.

"Bianca. It's not 1940. It's 2005!" They were put here before the end of war. Why would someone do it? To have their children leave when it's needed. They were put here before big three packt. Which could only mean… Hades.

"Bianca Nico," Percy said, "I think I know who is your godly parent."

"Who is it?" Bianca asked.

"Hades, Lord of the Underworld, God of Dead and Wealth."

"Cool! He was always the coolest god for me!" Nico shouted.

"There is nothing to be happy of. After the World War 2, the Big Three, Zeus and Poseidon forced Hades to a packt where the three would never sire a demigod child due to a certain prophecy." Son of Hera said causing them to pale.

"So, now we are or will be on top of Zeus' and Poseidon's hit list?" Asked Nico.

"When he finds out. Yes, But for now he will not do anything as he does not know of your existance. Neither he does know of mine, but when he learns who you are and your parentage he will want to blast you to Tartarus but he'll first have to get through me which he would not do."

"You'd risk your life for us? Why wouldn't he do anything to you?" Asked Bianca.

"*sigh*I will tell you my parentage but first I need you to swear on river Styx that you will never tell anyone what I am about to say unless I tell so or is already revealed." After they swore the oath Percy toke deep breath.

"Im Percy Jackson, son of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Hermes, Ares and Hephaestus, Adopted son of Hera. I will tell you the biggest secret the Olympians have so you may know my full parentage.

When Greece fell to Rome the gods were at risk of fading die to lack of belief so they chose the Roman gods as their other aspect. Sometimes they go to the mortal world and sire Roman demigods.

Twelve years ago Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Hermes, Ares and Hephaestus went drinking to mortal world. On their way from the bar they saw a mortal women, she was a clead sighted women who could see through the Mist. She didn't want to have any of their child as she was already engaged and would have a wedding next day. But they had a different thought on their mind. They raped her in both aspects giving the unborn child very strong scent.

A month after the child was born, she toke him to a beach but a Chimera found them and killed the mother but the child unknowingly used his powers to kill the Chimera. All of this was watched by Hera who thought the child was Son of Zeus but after looking through her memories she promised the mother to take care of the child and adopted him in both her Greek and Roman aspect therefore I'm also son of Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Apollo, Mercury, Mars and Vulcan, Adopted son of Juno." Percy looked at siblings who had their mouth open. First to react was Bianca who pulled Percy into a hug and said.

"I'm sorry for what happened to your mother."

"It's ok. The only to blame are the gods. But as much I hate those 7 I love my mother very much and would never betray her and she would never betray Olympus."

"So, your our brother?" Asked Nico with hope shining in his eyes.

"Half-brother to be exact but yes I'm your brother."

"I was actually looking forward to seeing our father but after what you said I don't want to see him ever." Bianca said coldly.

"Well I actually wanted siblings so maybe I could convince mom to let you live with me in here temple on Olympus"

"Really? You could do that? That'd be amazing if your mom agreed!" Exclaimed happily Bianca.

"Ok now we need to figure out how to get the questers out of this hellhole." Percy said to his siblings.

Time Skip: After leaviing the casino

Percy PoV:

After getting the trio kicked out of the casino and sneaking out my siblings we got onto a taxi to DOA Recording Studios. We stopped near a hotel in Los Angeles and got Bianca and Nico to stay there as they didn't want to confront their father. I gave them two vials with a potion that masks scent of a demigod for a day and with that I left to follow the trio.

I watched them enter the boat after bribing Charon. I waited for Charon to come back and paid him extra to get to Hades' Place. I saw the trio faint at the sight of Cerberus so I intefered and toke out a big red ball to play with Cerberus. After about an hour playing with Cerberus I tried to leave but what supprised me was that Cerberus kneel to me as if trying to get me to ride him. I toke the risk and climbed onto his back.

"To Hades' Place but don't enter any room where Hades is right now." I said patting it on his middle head. Cerberus run towards the nearest shadow and shadow traveled us to an empty room. I turned towards Cerberus and said.

"Go back to your duty buddy. I'll come back. I promise." He licked my face with all three toungs from all three heads.

I followed the sounds I heard towards a room. I heard them arguing then heard Orion tell them to throw something on the floor and smash it with their foot while thinking about Santa Monic Pier. I run towards Cerberus and asked.

"Hey buddy," I said patting him on his left head, "Can you get me to Oakwood Los Angeles Hotel, (The nearest hotel I could find to the Hollywood Sign on google maps) I need to pick up my siblings and then we need to get to Santa Monica Pier." He nodded and un into the shadows. We reappeared in the shadows of the hotel. I run into Bianca's and Nico's room and said.

"Hurry up we need to get to Santa Monica Pier. I got the ride." They got out and I lead them to Cerberus. At his sight the screamed but I calmed them down by saying.

"Don't worry, hes my friend. Ain't that right buddy," Cerberus barked happily and licked my face, "get on." I sat first with Bianca behind me holding my waist tightly, Nico at the end holding Bianca tightly.

"Ok buddy, to Santa Monica Pier." I told him and patted him on his right head.

'Alright boss' I heard a voice in my head and Cerberus began to run towards nearest shadow

"Wow that was werid. I just heard a voice in my head. I must have imagined something.

'You havn't imagined anything boss. So to Santa Monica's Pier. Gotcha boss.' At that point I realised who the voice belones to.

'Cerberus?' I asked mentaly.

'No, cat in the boots. Of course it's me boss!' He replied.

'How is it possible that you can spead in my mind?' I asked him.

'I don't know myself. I just felt a strong connection between us and now I can hear and speak to you boss.' He answered my question.

'Ok, stop it with the 'boss' thing. It's just Percy,' I said.

'Gotcha boss!' He replied but I was to late to correct him as he jumped into shadows. We shadow traveled to Santa Monica Pier. We saw Orion arguing with Ares that he stole the bolt. Then Ares pulled out his double-edged sword and tried to kill Orion. I summoned my armor, sword and shield and charged at Ares. As his sword was swang at Orions head, I threw my shield effectivly knocking the sword out of Ares' hand. I saw the shield on the ground starting to dissolve and reform on my left hand. Ares picked up his sword and charged at my with nothing but brute force. I deflected every strike he hade made as I moved like a blur of light. I ducked under his sword and placed a flat side of my sword behind his foot and scooped it up causing War God to fall over. I stabbes him in the right shoulder and well as pulling a knife and engraving word 'RAPIST' on his chest so deep that even Apollo's full healing wouldn't heal it and leave a large scar.. He looked at me in utter shock gefore starting to glow. I toke the chance and kicked him in the ribs with so much force that he was sent flying towards a tree effectivly breaking his ribs as well as few trees. (AN: Hehe. A rhyme. Never intended that.) He quickly flashed away what I guessed to Apollos temple. I looked where he was and saw the helmet and rolled it to Orion's feet. He picked it up and at the same moment the furies came out and ordered Orion to give them back the Helm of Darkness. Being a coward he quickly tossed them the helm. I walked back to Bianca, Nico and Cerberus.

"That was so…" Nico started.

"AWESOME!" Bianca shouted and hugged me.

"AMAZING!" Nico yelled.

'Badass,' Cerberus said, 'I'm a happy hellhound. I got the most badass boss in existance.' I smiled at their words.

"Aww come on. A puppy could put up a better fight," I joked.

'Cerberus?' I asked.

'Yea boss?' He replied.

'Are you able to shadow travel to Olympus?'

'Are you seriously asking me this question? Are you seriously asking this question to a King of Hellhounds?' He replied with a hint of cockiness.

"Hop on. We're going to Olympus."

'To Hera's temple,' I told Cerberus.

'Here we go boss!' He exclaimed and run into shadows. We emerged from shadows behind Hera's temple. He got of Cerberus and I said to him.

'All right buddy. You're free. Go back to the Underworld. Hades is going to be pissed if he finds you missing.'

'That death breath? Meh. I don't care what he says unlees he feeds me.' He shadow traveled back to the Underworld. I turned towards my siblings and told them.

"We're going to enter through the back door." They nodded and followed me. As we walked through the door I was embraced in familiar arms.

"Oh my baby boy, you are back!" Mom said. I blushed heavily and my siblings giggled. When she heard giggles she turned her head towards Bianca and Nico .

"Percy. Who are they." She asked me.

"Mom. Don't get mad but they are Bianca and Nico di Angelo, children of Hades but they hate him now after I told them what happeed to my birth mother." My mom looked shocked at the children of Hades.

"di Angelo. That sounds familiar." She said.

"They were born before the pack but Hades put them in the Lotus Casino to prevent them from aging and become the children from the prophecy." I explained.

"THAT'S IT! I remember now," she exclaimed before turning to Bianca and Nico with a sad look, "after the war Zeus ordered all children of big three to be killed. You were the last ones. Zeus sent a lightning bolt at the hotel you were in but luckily for you Hades was with you and put up a protective barrier around you two but Maria, your mother wern't with you. She died from the bolt. I so sorry for you two." She told them, I saw tears streaming down their faces. I pullled them into a hug which they returned. Soon mom joined the hug trying to comfort them.

"Mom. They don't want to live in the mortal world or in camp. Could they stay here with us?" I asked. She thought for a bit before nodding. The three of us tackled her and hugged her tightly.

"By the way mom. Late today you will have a council meeting for two reasons. The first one is the trio are on their way back. The other reason is that stupid War God got humiliated really badly." I smirked "Let's show you what happened and copy it so you can knock down a peg or two Poseidon and Orion from their 'glory'."

She smiled and I began to play the quest on the TV. By the end of the video my mom was on the floor, tears running down her face. Helding her stomach whilst laughing uncontrollably.

"That… was… amazing… son." She said between gasps. "Now, I can't wait to see everyone's face when they will see this. Never I my life I waited for a meeting with so much enthusiasm.

"It's going on Demitube too. There is no chance I'm skipping the chance to humiliate Orion everywhere possible." I sad. I looked at my watch and said, "Ok. I'm off to bed. I'm tired. Good night" I yawned. I entered my room and as soon as my head hit the pillow I entered the realm of Morpheus.

AN: I'm putting up a poll for the pairings.
