A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I wonder if you're wondering why I got rid of Sam and Tucker. Well, I realized that since they weren't going to play major rolls in most of this, I though 'Oh crap… why did I even make them demigods? They're just going to sit at camp half blood and do nothing! So why not get rid of them, and make Danny obsessed in finding the killer? BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!' So… yeah. That's why. Enjoy!

Just re-edited this, Danny is being dumbed down.

Geronimo!

Chapter 9: The Quest Begins.

Danny's POV

I can almost tell who it is, I'm so close. So close to finding out if this was Tucker or Chris Rodriguez's blood. I asked my parents if they had anything that could help me identify DNA code similarities, and they went beyond that. They sent me something that I guess was like the Boomerang, except it had a screen on it and a scanning pad.

I currently had a the dried blood on the scanning pad. When that process was done, I plugged it into my laptop and typed in an order to see if the DNA was a match.

OTHER

OTHER meant that it wasn't a match, MATCH, duh, meant it matched, and RELATIVE meant that the holder of the DNA was a relative. Of course you might think that all of us demigods are related; well we aren't. Gods don't have DNA so if say you compared a child of Zeus' DNA with a child of Hermes' DNA, then it would say OTHER. But if you compared a child of Zeus' DNA with another child of Zeus' DNA than you would somehow get RELATIVE. It's confusing and hard to explain, but people get the idea.

The hard part of this was that it wasn't easy to get hair from Tucker's pillow since he barely has any hair; so I went into the Hermes cabin and got some dandruff from his hat. I scanned the dandruff, and compared the strands.

RELATIVE

So another child of Hermes was involved in this; interesting. I scratched the burn mark on my face that was caused by falling depress in the building where I saw Sam and Tucker blow up. Note to self: ask Stoll brothers to get bandaging. That night, I was thinking about what Percy had said: that I would have to be ready when I confront the person who killed Sam and Tucker. Then I remembered that the fight club that the Ares cabin had set up was going on tonight. Tonight was when I start training, training my fighting skill, my swords play, and my new found strength.

I walked out of my cabin, and headed over to the coliseum. When I got there, it was lit up by torches and two Ares campers where in the middle of a fight. The larger camper charged, and punched the other camper into the wall. Then the larger camper was declared winner.

"Can I have a shot at it?" I asked. The camper looked at me and said:

"Sure small fry. Lets go." I approached him, and then the fight started. He lunged, and I tried to dodge; only to be grabbed by my leg, on a burn on my leg, and pulled back. He crushed me below him. Then he pulled me up and threw me to the wall. I fell to the ground, and he was declared winner. Common Fenton! Pull yourself together. You've fought tougher ghosts than this guy. I decided that now would be a great time to use my strength. I got up a declared a rematch. They agreed. This time, I followed what that article had said about deducting things about other people. I observed my enemy, and saw two things: one was that when he walked towards me, he limped with his left leg, and two was that when he attacked, he closed his eyes. I could use both of those to my advantage.

When they said to start fighting, I let him attack first. He ran towards me, and I ducked to his left side, and, as expected, he had a harder time turning towards me. I kicked a round house at his knee, he yelled, and fell to one knee. He got up again and threw a punch, with his eyes closed. I hit his fist away, and punched him in his chest, causing him to fly backwards into the wall. Everyone looked at me with amazement when they declared that I had won.

For the next hour, I fought; only defeated three times out of ten.

Percy's POV:

I decided to try and get Danny out of his cabin to train that night. But when I got to his cabin, he wasn't there. I thought for a while before thinking that he might have actually followed my advice. I went down to the coliseum to see if Danny was participating in the Ares cabin's fight-club, and when I got there, someone had kicked a guy hard into the wall next to where I was entering. I looked to see who the winner of the fight was, to see Danny. One thing that I noticed about Danny that I had not before was that he had many scars, most likely from the fire. He had burns on his arms, his legs, and one burn running down his face, on his eye. It reminded me of Luke. I could still see the evil smile on his face, the disfeaturing scar running down his eye, his words echoing in my head. Good-bye Percy. There is a new Golden Age coming. You won't be part of it. After I came out of my thoughts, another Ares camper had been picked up above Danny's head, and thrown to the ground. When he started to walk towards the water area to take a break, I approached him.

"When did you learn how to fight? And when did you get so strong" I asked him pointing to the unconscious Ares camper slumped up on the wall.

"My mother is a black belt in karate, and after a, uh… incident with a ghost, I decided to learn some karate. With the strength, well… I think that it's kind of like the Heracles type of thing, how he had an enormous amount of strength." He told me. I watched for a while, then just left to go back to my cabin, and just sleep.

The next day, I told Annabeth about the fight club, and she decided to come with me to watch him before they asked Tantalus about the quest. Along with Annabeth, Tyson wanted to come too. After Danny defeated a few Ares cabins, they asked if anyone else would want to fight Danny. Annabeth tried to convince me to try and fight him, he could go easy on me.

"You know, at some point you will be in a fight without a sword." I sighed and walked down to the fighting area.

Annabeth's POV

When Percy got to the fighting area, Danny waved up at me and yelled,

"Annabeth, you might want to get the ambrosia and nectar ready!" He grinned while he said it and got into a fighting stance. I saw Clarisse in the stand, and I thought that she'd probably enjoy this if Danny since Danny had the upper hand. When the fight started, Percy started the fight with a punch, which Danny just dodged. Then, Percy punched at him again, and Danny hit the blow up, and then punched him, hard, in the chest, and Percy fell back on the ground. I thought that it was an unfair advantage that he was more experienced than him and stronger, so I got an idea to even the odds. Danny was looking the other way, thinking that he had already won, when I dumped a bucket of water on his head. Percy got up, and punched Danny in the head; which sent him spinning to the ground. Percy's strength with water matched up with Danny's natural strength.

Danny got up and it seemed as though he was thinking up something, when Percy came at him again, and Danny dodged the attack. Danny brought a hammering fist down, and when Percy put his hand up to stop it, Danny stopped his first fist and punched Percy in the stomach, grabbed Percy's hand so that he wouldn't fall backwards, twisted at 80 degrees and elbowed Percy in the chest, then twisted all the way and ended in a side kick to Percy's chest, sending him flying backwards into the wall. Worry swelled up in me as Percy hit the wall. It happened so fast! My mouth was hanging open, and I looked over to Clarisse and Tyson to see that they both had the same expression on her face. Danny started walking towards Percy to see how he was. I ran to the unconscious Percy with ambrosia and nectar. I fed him the Godly food, and he came to. Tyson looked over to Danny and said,

"Danny hurt Percy!" He charged Danny and Danny side stepped, grabbed Tyson, and flipped him over his head.

"Don't try that big guy." He said as he started to walk out of the coliseum. "See you later Percy!" He yelled back at Percy as he was coming to.

"What happened?" Percy asked.

"Danny whooped you ass." Clarisse said with a grin.

"Yeah, he took you down, hard. You should be great by dinner though." I told him. Percy just stared after Danny, and said,

"Wow… he's good."

After dinner

Danny's POV

Okay, so Tucker was either kidnapped, or ran away from whatever monster attacked him, then another monster gave Sam this note about Tucker's whereabouts. The odd thing about the note that it was only in Greek letters, not words. So it was written by an amateur in Greek. Interesting.

Then back to the explosion, it could affect me as a ghost, so the explosion had a ectoplasmic origin. That could mean that it was meant for me…

"HELP! HELP! I'm being attacked!" It was Percy. I packed some things into my backpack, went ghost, and headed towards the sound of the call for help.

A/N: YAY! I'm finished. Yes another short chapter. I wanted to have anther fight seen with Percy and Danny, so I decided that it would be cool for it to be Heracles strength vs. Percy's sea strength. Please review!
