Hey guys hope you enjoy this chapter.

chapter 9- The Rescue

Percy POV

I woke up several hours later to see that eragon and my other friends had been captured as well. As I looked around my eyes landed on Artemis, chained and bloodied. Her pain was well hidden abut I was able to see through her mask. Seeing her in such a position, with her looking so weak and vulnerable pissed me off to no end and using what little power the shackles could block and absorb I shattered the cuffs of hers and freed her. She then went to free me but I told her to get the others first so she quietly complied and released the others. Then she walked over to me and began removing them when he walked in. I then realized that we were no longer in the Varden camp but in a large dark building of some kind almost like a castle or cathedral. Artemis quickly teleported herself and the others back to the varden base camp at my urging.

"Where is she Brother?" Triton asked calmly as Hyperion and Galbatorix came to stand near him.

"I don't know where she took them Triton, now if you would so kindly remove my shackles so I can kick your godly ass, it would be much appreciated." I said in an overly sweet tone.

"No I don't think I will Perseus." he said in an equally sweet tone.

"Well that sucks cuz these shackles aren't doing their job. very well cuz I was the one that freed Artemis giving her the chance to get everyone else out, your shackles can't block anymore of my power. Their at their limit and as we speak I'm regaining more and more of my strength. Your lucky I'm not in the moon light I regain my power fastest in the moonlight and slowest in sunlight so pretty soon your going to be in major trouble. As soon as I get to full power I'm breaking out and taking you three down." I said, my mind trying to come up with a way out.

"Well then I guess we'll just have to move you to the central plaza for the next couple weeks then won't we?" he said smoothly as Galbatorix and Hyperion tried to get through my mental barriers but failing miserably.

Soon enough I was place into the central plaza with replacement shackles and I quickly realized I had no access to my power what soever.

After a few days they too reached their limits and I quickly began regaining massive amounts of power again. Two days later I was nearly at my full power again when they came to torture me again. They brought forth a whip and began lashing my back repeatedly. After several more hours of various public tortures they left an I used a small amount of power to repair my wounds. It was then that a miracle appeared, in the shape of my girlfriend, Artemis. Her and the hunt came charging in now firing at the speed of a machine gun and driving the enemy back long enough for my power to reach its peak. Then I began to rise, I quickly shattered my shackles with a thought and I blasted my torturers before teleporting my self and the others back to the varden camp along the Jeit river.

Artemis POV before rescue

I teleported myself and the others back to the camp and walked back to my tent before I broke down and cried, mourning the fact that they could have killed him in revenge for me leaving with the others. After what seemed like hours my eyes finally dried having nothing left to shed into tears. Thalia came into the tent and said

"Eragon wants to see you milady,"

I looked up to into her eyes and saw that she too had been crying for her best friend. I nodded solemnly and got up to head towards the command tent. Once I arrived at the tent I walked in and was immediately bombarded with questions by the leaders of the resistance.

"Where is Percy?," eragon asked and upon hearing his name I broke down and cried for the first time in 2000 years.

Thalia POV

For the first time since I've known her, Artemis fell to her knees and cried.

"What'd I say?" eragon asked incredulously.

"Really are you that thick?" I asked him irritatedly.

After a while she calmed down enough to explain what had happened and we began to formulate a rescue plan.

Several days later eragon POV

"Ok Artemis lets go," I say and she closed her eyes in concentration and soon enough we were inside the walls of Melion. After several hours of sneaking through the city we were caught and taken to the jail and we could see Percy being tortured we say there for hours before an odd looking creature came to our rescue. He broke into the cell in a matter of seconds and freed Artemis first by shattering the chains holding her powers in place and then the two proceeded to free the rest of us.

"Who are you?" Artemis asked the creature I took the time before he answered to inspect him in the off chance he was to kill us. He had black and gray fur covering his body and along his tail there was a striped pattern of black and gray while his face was gray. He had a dark patch of fur around his eyes almost like a mask and he wore a blue tunic with gray pants and blue and gold gloves, he also wore a belt with a blue and white raccoon face for a buckle and held a cane made of oak and a glowing bronze that looks exactly like the metal used in Percy's sword.

"My name is sly cooper."
