Chapter 5
Third PoV:
When Percy woke up he dressed and ate hid breakfast, after finishing he went to the training room to train for few hours till he came up with an idea to build something. The di Angelo siblings went to the training room to practice their powers and skills.
In the throne room all gods were gathered awaiting for the arrival of trio. Poseidon was beaming with pride that his son retrieved Zeus' Master Bolt, Hera was keeping quiet so she could humiliate Poseidon and his son. Zeus was wanting to blast the sea scum for his existence, while Ares was holding his chest which still ached from being defeated by an unknown enemy.
The doors to the throne opened showing the trio. Orion wearing a cocky grin whilst his companions were wearing awestruck face at the size and beauty of the room. Orion walked in the middle of the room and turned towards his father and bowed.
"Father," was all he said.
Zeus spoke. "Should you not address the master of this house first, boy?"
"Peace, brother, " Poseidon finally said. "The boy defers to his father. This is only right. "
"You still claim him then?" Zeus asked, menacingly. "You claim this child whom you sired against our sacred oath?"
"I have admitted my wrongdoing, " Poseidon said. "Now I would hear him speak. "
"I have spared him once already, " Zeus grumbled. "Daring to fly through my domain ... Pah! I should have blasted him out of the sky for his impudence. "
"And risk destroying your own master bolt?" Poseidon asked calmly. "Let us hear him out, brother. "
Zeus grumbled some more. "I shall listen, " he decided. "Then I shall make up my mind whether or not to cast this boy down from Olympus. "
"Orion, " Poseidon said. "Look at me. " He did. "Address Lord Zeus, boy, " Poseidon told me. "Tell him your story. "
And so he did. How he killed Medusa in her home. How he bested Chimera and Echidna, retrieved Ares' shield in return got a bag. How they escaped Lotus Casino. How they escaped Hades and finally when he got to the part when he won a battle with Ares. Ar that point everyone looked at him shocked. No one more shocked that Ares.
"LIAR!" Yelled Ares. "You were not the person that fought me! The thing that did moved like a blur of light."
"Orion Johnstone." Hera said shocking everyone. "You say that you killed Medusa."
"Yes I did" He said cockily.
"Then tell me what you did with her head." She said.
"I toke it with me." He replied.
"The show me." She replied shortly. His face paled and looked in his backpack trying to find it.
"I, it was in my bag."
"You mean this head that was sent to me?" She conjured the box with the head inside. Zeus looked at Orion murderously for lying.
"That's where it is! I forgot I sent to you because I knew that you hate demigods so I did it to please you." He said quickly.
"Ok then. Then why does it say this on the box.
Queen Hera
Mount Olympus
600th Floor,
Empire State Building
New York, NY
With regards PJ.
Who is that PJ? Because if you sent it to me to please my you would have wrote your full name." She turned to her husband and said. "Love. I sent an automaton to record the whole quest. Would you like to see it?"
"Yes my love." He replied. She snapped her fingers and conjured a massive cinema screen. She walked towards a DVD player and put the CD in it and played the video. As the gods and the trio watched the video they became worried who the unknown figure is that shadowed the quest. They watched him kill the three furies, retrieve Hermes' original boots at which he was eager to look for the person and get them back. They seen him kill the Medusa but what shocked them the most was what he said before the fight with the Chimera started.
"HE KILLED THE CHIMERA WHILE BEING ONE MONTH OLD!?" Paranoid Zeus yelled.
"Looks like it father" Said surprisingly Artemis.
"Let's watch shall we?" Asked Hera and received a nod from everyone.
They saw his easily beat Echidna which frustrated Artemis as she always had problems with killing her. They were shocked when watching how he befriended Cerberus. Finally the scene moved to Santa Monica Pier causing Ares to flinch. As they watched a child beat Ares they could hardly comprehend the fight. As Ares described, the kid moved with the speed that would make Hermes jealous. They watched in amazement how the boy dealt with Ares, whilst he was boiling in rage that he was being humiliated by everyone. By the end of the video, Athena, Artemis, Apollo and Hermes didn't know if to be shocked or to laugh.
"WHO IS THAT BOY!? Does any one know who he is!?" Zeus yelled.
"I recognize that boy," said Hermes. Every pair of eyes turned towards him. "That's the same boy that saved Orion from the fury in the museum and the Minotaur."
"Looks like the sea scum got a guardian angel." Said Athena.
"I do not need anyone watching over me! I was perfectly fine!" Orion shouted.
"Perfectly fine but screamed like a girl and run away from a fury, Minotaur and Medusa." Chuckled Apollo causing we gods to snicker.
"Back to the topic. The boy lied to us." Said Hera coldly causing other gods to glare at Orion.
"Do you have an explanation for your lies boy?" Asked Zeus.
"I-I just tried to get all the glory." Said Orion quietly.
"Do you have my bolt boy?" Asked Zeus.
"Y-yes my lord." Orion replied and opened the bag in which was the bolt. He took out the metal cylinder, which began sparking in the Sky God's presence, and laid it at his feet.
There was a long silence, broken only by the crackle of the hearth fire.
Zeus opened his palm. The lightning bolt flew into it. As he closed his fist, the metallic points flared with electricity, until he was holding what looked more like the classic thunderbolt, a twenty-foot javelin of arcing, hissing energy that made the hairs on my scalp rise.
"I must go personally to purify this thunderbolt in the waters of Lemnos, to remove the human taint from its metal." Zeus said. "Do not presume to fly again. Do not let me find you here when I return. Otherwise you shall taste this bolt. And it shall be your last sensation."
Thunder shook the palace. With a blinding flash of lightning, Zeus was gone. Hera snapped her fingers and the trio were sent back to the camp.
When the trio entered the camp they saw an abandoned camp. The only thing that was heard was noises from the dinning hall. As the trio entered the hall they saw everyone watching something on a large screen whilst laughing. When they looked closely at the screen they saw the same video that was played to the gods. Orion boiled in rage and run out of the dinning hall causing the campers to double over in laughter.
