Ugh.
You people really need to review.
If you don't, I might stop updating until you do.
So review, Now.
Anyway, I am asking the same question: Who were the twin sons of Dionysus, in PJO?
I do not own PJO. I do own Mark, Robert and Theseus though.
Last Time:
"Blackjack we need you to carry us to California." "Sorry Boss, but all of you are too heavy, but luckily, I found some friends." And then three other pagasi appeared and said they were willing to take us to California, if it was what Blackjack and I wanted. After a couple of seconds of getting ready, we launched into the sky, ready to start the next part of our adventure.
Now:
I climbed onto a pagasi, and soon, we were sailing through the sky towards Colorado. A random thought came to me and I asked Percy," Could you ask Blackjack why he likes doughnuts so much?" Percy looked at me strangely and had a silent conversation with the pagasi. "He says, 'because they taste good." I laughed and thanked him for asking. Then I heard, "It's a long ride, you should go to sleep." I decided to lie down on my pagasi's brown back, and soon, I was dreaming.
In my dream, I was in a circular room, with a throne in the center. On the throne was darkness, shifting around and darkening the room. A man walked through a door and I instantly recognized him as Theseus.
His clothes were torn and he had many bruises and he was bleeding. He fell to his knees, before the shadowy figure and said," The demigods have collapsed the cave and set the son of Hades free. They head for California as we speak. Also, Robert… has perished." Theseus reported.
"What? How did those weaklings kill him? How did you lose?" A feminine voice asked/shouted. "We were no match, the son of Poseidon and Hades, were stronger in the ground. Plus, the son of Poseidon can become a wolf." Theseus stated. "But you can be a hellhound? So how did you lose you worm? You are not a worthy servant. As for Robert, death is not a difficult thing to reverse, as long as you have the power."
The figure lifted its hand and the shadows curled around (her?) fingers. The shadows swirled faster and faster, until they were covering the whole room, then the figure spoke in a language, which I had never heard. The words were creepy, sounding like the whispering of the dead. The shadows swirled faster and faster, while an eerie glow emitted from the shadows.
As the shadows swirled faster and faster, Theseus was knocked backwards into a wall, since the shadows were like gusts of wind. The blue glow grew larger and larger, as the chanting reached its crescendo. The shadow formed into a humanoid shape, eight feet tall. Its aura sending off waves of hate, it was pure evil. It wanted to kill everything, wipe the world clean of all living things. Only then, would its vengeance could be sated.
Once the shadowy figure finished the incantation, Theseus climbed to his feet and warily walked towards the glowing beast. The shadowy figure said," As you can see, death is only a minor inconvenience to beings of my power. Meet my new servant, his name is Robert".
The glowing figure, Robert, opened its eyes at the sound of its name, and let out an Earth shattering roar, which resounded throughout the circular room. Its eyes were glowing blue, but one of them was still white. Then I noticed that it had wings. They unfurled across its back, making the room glow in the eerie blue of its light.
"Shall I dispose of this filth, milady?" The figure asked in a booming, demonic voice. "Not yet, wait until he has failed. Now prove yourself, by killing these monsters." Suddenly, monsters formed all around the glowing figure, creatures like, drakons, Cyclopes, empousai, gryphons, stormspirits and hellhounds. They gathered around the figure and attacked as one.
The glowing form of Robert was swamped by the endless waves of opponents, but then a wave of blue tore through the battlefield, flinging monsters into the walls and smashing them into the ceiling. Robert stood tall in a circle of death and destruction.
Two glowing swords appeared in Robert's hands, casting eerie light across the dark walls. He raised them above his head and unleashed a bolt of lightning, which tore throughout the monster ranks, killing them and transforming their dead bodies into dust.
The shadowy figure on the throne kept conjuring up more monsters for Robert to fight, as he slashed, hacked, burnt and smashed through the waves of enemies. Robert conjured up blue fire, which he burned through legions of monster with. He would teleport around the battlefield, killing monsters who least expected him.
He grabbed Cyclopes and ripped them in half, like they were paper. He smashed empousai and burned gryphons and storm spirits. After what seemed like hours, Robert killed the last monster andit fell to the ground at the figure's feet.
"Robert is an unworthy name for someone so worthy, your name shall be The Destroyer. For you will destroy all of the demigods and their parents. You will do as I tell you to do and you will do it well. You shall be my champion, the destroyer of all. With your wraith powers, you can slaughter countless demigods, without breaking a sweat, for you have been created with the power of a primordial."
"Now the time has come, my pet, for you to attack the demigods heading to Camp Jupiter. Show no mercy, for none shall be shown to you, vanquish your enemies and strike fear into their hearts, because you are The Destroyer!"
Percy's POV
After I told Annabeth to go to sleep, I talked to Mark and Nico. "Do you think that the Argo Two is far behind?" I asked. "It depends; did Poseidon say when they left Camp Half-Blood?" Nico inquired. "No, but I think they left as soon as we left. Besides, Jason, Piper and Leo were being threatened."
"What about Camp Jupiter? How are their defenses?" "The last I checked, they were strong and receiving more recruits, after most of them died during the war. Plus, they have Reyna, Frank and Hazel, so they should be able to survive for as long as we need to make it there. How large was the army?" Nico asked.
"There wasn't too many, but Poseidon said that there were others armies, meeting together to destroy Camp Jupiter. By the way, Poseidon said to Iris Message the Argo Two to inform them of our destination. Does anyone have a drachma?"
After Mark handed me a drachma, I formed mist and made it follow us, as we flew through the air. The sun shined upon it and then it created a rainbow. "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Jason, on the Argo Two."
An image of Jason appeared on the mist. Jason, Piper and Leo, were all around the steering wheel, staring forward at something. "Hey!" I shouted. They jumped and turned to me, with glares on their faces. "I hate you Percy, your evil." Jason said. "Where are you? We are in Kansas, where you were last spotted."
"Annabeth, Nico, Mark and I are all on pagasi flying towards Camp Jupiter." "Nico? How did you find him?" Leo asked. "It doesn't matter, now listen. Camp Jupiter is about to be attacked by armies of monsters, as a sacrifice for their mistress. The Mist will also dissipate and the mortals will take their side, in toppling Olympus. We need to stop them."
"Watch out for Theseus, a son of Nyx, he will probably be leading the battle, along with Lycaon. We killed one of the generals in Kansas, but now Theseus is seeking revenge." "Lycaon is the reason I am a werewolf. It was his meddling and I intend to find out why."
"We are in Colorado, just a few hours, until we will be in California. And watch out for-"The connection was cut and the words left my mouth, as I saw the massive army of monsters, heading west.
There were all types of monsters, laistrygonians, hellhounds, werewolves, gryphons, empousai, Cyclopes, storm spirits, drakons and draecnae. There were hundreds.
There was no way we could make it to Camp Jupiter undetected, since we could not fly over them, because of the storm spirits and gryphons. "What do we do?" I asked Mark. "I don't know… either wait for the Argo Two and attack or go around. Which one sounds better?"
I was about to respond, when Annabeth shot upwards from her pagasi and shouted," Robert is alive and he is coming for us!" "What are you talking about Annabeth?" I asked. She explained to us the events, which took place during her dream. "Wings? Ghost? What is the world coming to?" Nico asked.
"It doesn't matter Nico, he is already tracking us, so we had better start moving, before he catches us. Now what are our options?" After we informed Annabeth of our plans, she sat there for a while, deep in thought. "I think we should-"Annabeth's opinion was interrupted, when a glowing figure slammed into us, with the force of a wrecking ball. Our pagasi spiraled downwards, out of control.
"Blackjack! Get us onto the ground, and then at least we will have a chance of fighting." Blackjack and the other pagasi dove towards the ground, like meteorites, while the glowing figure copied our actions. On the flight down, I saw we were on top of a forest, a couple of miles wide. A couple of seconds later, the pagasi unfurled their wings and slowed down our velocity, when we were hit by an object.
I was torn from Blackjack's back and into empty air, spinning around. Luckily, we were already close to the ground, so when I slammed into it, it only hurt and didn't kill me. Somehow I was alive, that extra amount of force should have been enough to smash me flat. What the heck? I thought.
I groaned and attempted to climb to my feet, but my whole body screamed in pain, so I fell backwards and decided to just look around. I collected some water from the wet ground and used it to heal my massive bruises and scratches. I fell about ten feet, but that extra force from being hit, made the impact worse.
When I climbed to my feet, I saw two things, one good and one bad. The good one was that, Nico had shadow traveled Mark and Annabeth, to the ground, so they hit the ground harmlessly. The bad part was that they were fighting Robert.
I dashed to them, forgetting my aching muscles, and dove into the fray. Robert instantly noticed me and unleashed a bolt of lightning at me. I dove to the side and stabbed at Robert. He deflected my blade and pushed me back, my body flying through the air and slamming into a tree.
I had anticipated this, however, and used the water as a shield, to absorb the impact. I bounced off of the tree and dashed at Robert, while he was fighting my companions. I snuck up behind him and stabbed at him, but he flipped over my head and stabbed at me instead.
I dove to the left and rolled to my feet. I turned around and was met with a bolt of lightning. I deflected it off of my blade and charged back at Robert.
He feinted to my right and instead stabbed at my leg. I dodged the blow and immediately felt a painful jolt travel through my body, signaling that I had been electrocuted. I rolled off of the ground, which I had fallen on, and was about to stab Robert, when a monster's blade deflected mine.
I looked over and saw an empousai. It looked like the typical empousai, an over exited cheerleader, who really only wanted to drink your blood. But then I noticed that I had seen this particular empousai before, it was Kelly. Kelly.
The monster, which had nearly killed Rachel and I in the band room, at Goode High School. The monster which Annabeth had killed in Daedalus' workshop, during our fourth quest. The monster which was killed by Bob in Tartarus, after she had killed her sister.
"So we meet again, sea spawn. How was Tartarus? Was it fun? Because I heard that you and that Annabeth, went into the House of Night. Did you get any nightmares? Was it to scary for your mortal minds? Are you going to cry? Well, I can put you to sleep, permanently."
She transformed into a vampire thing, with a donkey leg and a bronze leg. She shoved me backwards and stabbed at me with her sword. Well that wasn't very nice, I thought. I deflected the blow and retaliated with my own strike.
She blocked and we continued our dance. Every way I tried to strike, she was there, averting my blow. How did she have the power to block my blows? It was if all of the monsters have increased strength and stamina. It was weird.
I wonder how my friends are doing with Robert, I thought. Then I noticed the reason why none of my friends were helping me, they were busy fighting for their lives. We had been surrounded by dozens of monsters, yet none of them were attacking me. This fight has been going on for long enough; I need to help my friends, I thought.
I morphed into a werewolf and launched over Kelly's head and quickly slashed across her back. She hissed and shot daggers at me, with her gaze. I dodged her pathetic strike and pinned her onto the ground. I switched back into my human form and asked," Tell me how you are so powerful, and I might let you live."
She laughed, a horrible raspy sound that only echoed from a demented beast, and replied, "We both know you won't let me live..." She coughed. "As for your question, I will tell you, because it will distress you, since there is no way to reverse it."
"The glorious mistress has found a way to increase the strength of her army. You demigods don't stand a chance. We can crush you with the flick of our-"Her sentence was interrupted, when she was decapitated.
After her useless body hit the ground, dissolving into dust, I turned around and analyzed the spots that my friends needed the most help. Mark was holding his own against a hoard of monsters, using everything that he had.
He burned through the enemy ranks with Greek fire; while also using his two swords to slash through the enemy. Annabeth was nowhere to be seen, but guessing from the random monsters dissolving into dust, she was invisible. Nico, however, was the most amazing to watch.
He had a dozen skeletons guarding his back, while he burned through the enemy, with shadow fire and slashed them with his Stygian Iron sword. He would jump over his enemies' heads and slaughter them mercilessly. Robert was watching from the sidelines, as his troops foolishly threw themselves against the demigods. He noticed me and cleared a path to me, using his wraith powers to part the monsters.
"Shall we play a game?" Robert asked. "We shall." I responded. He lunged forward and I met his charge with my own. Our blades met and we pushed into each other, neither giving any ground. Somehow, even when he was technically a ghost, he could still do physical things.
Our strength was equal, because his wraiths powers and his size gave him strength. Eventually, we both were tired of being at a standstill, so I launched spikes of dirt at him, right when he launched several bolts of lightning.
An explosion rocked the battlefield, as our two elements collided. The lightning blew up my earth tendrils and ended up blowing both of us backwards. I climbed to my feet and launched wave after wave of water and earth attacks at my opponent. He blocked them all with shockwaves, fireballs and lightning.
I shifted into a werewolf and sprinted towards him, eager to end this fight. He waited until I was almost upon him, and then he created a shockwave, which knocked me backwards. I flipped off of my back and onto my feet and pounced on the eight feet tall wraith.
He shoved me off of him and stabbed at me, but I dodged to my left and summoned a hurricane. I propelled him backwards with wind and when he was on the ground, I jumped on top of him and bit into his arm, but he didn't seem fazed. I released and lunged forwards, only to realized that he had vanished.
Too late, I realized that he was behind me. I was grabbed by the back of my neck as he lifted me into the air. He raised his fists and started to pummel me with strong and precise hits. As a last resort, I vapor traveled behind him and switched into my human form/ I uncapped Riptide and sunk it hilt deep into the small of his back.
He turned around and pulled Riptide out of his back and slammed me with a ball of energy. I fell to the ground, paralyzed. His stupid powers did something to my nerves, leaving me paralyzed, I thought. Annabeth screamed and dashed towards me, but Robert just kept walking towards me, unhindered by the demigods stabbing him in the back. It didn't even hurt him.
I struggled to move, but my body was still petrified. The giant wraith loomed over me, his sword lifted high to deal the finishing blow, when I saw a spark of light.
Suddenly, he was hit with a massive fireball, making him fly to the side. I looked at where it was generated from, but all I could see was smoke. Then an indignant voice said, "You guys are having a party? Nobody invited us!"
Out of the smoke three figures emerged. It was Leo, Jason and Piper. I saw that Leo's fingers had smoke curling from the fingertips, when he asked, "Now, who is ready to kick some monster butt?"
There we go the fifth chapter of Percy Jackson The Cursed. Again, please review and I will update. Don't review and well… maybe.
I am asking the same question: Who were the twin sons of Dionysus, in PJO?
Review and I will update again, next week.
