Welcome to the Sea of Monsters

Chapter 11

Alright, you have waited enough for this new chapter. Not like I can find a job anyway, so might as well do this while I wait for the job market to open up and also listen to my dad bitch about me not being able to get a job. FUN!

Naruto stared at the sky in boredom as he and Clarisse lay down on the raft they were in. He could not understand why Shikamaru did this for long periods at a time. It was so...boring! "Any clue where we are?"

"Nope." Clarisse deadpanned.

"Great." Naruto said as he got up to look around, only to find more ocean around them. It was nothing but blue all around them. Well, until he saw a flock of what looked to be like birds in the distance. "Ok…I think I see something. Though…I really don't think they are birds…"

"Oh?" Clarisse replied as she lifted herself up and looked. "They are too far away for me to tell."

"They are not birds." A female voice said next to them. "They are Ella's sisters."

"WHOA!" Naruto said as he rocked the boat in shock as he almost fell off. "Are you going to eat us….um….bird lady."

"I thought you said you knew a lot about Greek mythology." Clarisse responded.

"I don't, but at the moment, I am dehydrated and I don't feel like using my brain that much." Naruto complained.

"That's ok! Ella is a Harpy!" The bird lady stated with a smile.

"Yeah, as in a sister of Iris." Clarisse said before she smacked herself. "Oh man….we could have called for help!"

"Oh well." Naruto said drowsily.

"Wait, don't fall asleep! Ella needs your help!"

"What kind of help?"

"Ella's sisters are in danger! They may be feeding on a dead animal over there and not letting me have any like usual, but they are in the Serpent Zone!"

"The Serpent Zone?" the two demi-gods asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, large sea serpents are in these waters as well." Ella replied.

"Great." Naruto mumbled. "I need some drinking water before I can do any fighting."

"Oh here!" Ella said as she produced a bottle of water and gave it to him. Shrugging, the blond opened it and downed half of it. As he was giving the rest to his partner, he saw a large shadow form underneath the feeding Harpies. "Oh great…her they come."

"Just be careful!" Clarisse ordered.

"Don't worry, I will." He said as he stepped off the raft, standing on the water. "I'll be back." He shot off like a rocket to help the harpies. Never thought I would be doing this!

"Your friend is very brave…or very stupid." Ella replied.

"I think it is a mixture of both for him." Clarisse deadpanned, causing the harpy to giggle.

As Naruto walked to the mass of harpies, he unleashed his Kusanagi sword, which alerted the Harpies. However, they took it as him going to attack them and shrieked. Naruto, with an emotionless face, pointed his sword at them and sent chakra to it, extending the blade so far that it shot towards them.

However, they were all shocked that his missed every single one of them….until they heard the screech of an injured and rising sea serpent. They all flew away, panicked and thankful that whoever the blond was, who was saving their asses.

However, Naruto forgot one crucial detail, sea serpents are usually really. So when the sword was imbedded into its head, he was pulled along for the ride. "OH COME ON!"

The giant sea serpent flung him around until the sword came loose and he was free falling. That was all it needed to know as it swallowed Naruto whole. After that, it looked around at all the other harpies flying around and at the small raft where Clarisse and Ella were currently at.

Before he could actually make a move, a large sword pierce it from the inside before the sword went full circle, cutting it in half and killing it.

"Eeew!" Naruto complained as he was covered in guts. However, before he could complain further, he noticed there were more shadows in the water. Well…Ella did say that this was the Serpent Zone. "Terrific!"

As soon as her landed on the water, five more of the snake like creatures shot out of the water, looking to make him a meal. "Sorry Uncle P, but you're about to lose some sea creatures." He said before one of them lunged at him. He of course jumped just in time and landed in it dead before running along it body to avoid more strikes of the other creatures.

"This is getting old in a hurry!' Naruto growled as he dodged another strike, making creature he was on, bite itself. It roared in pain before it saw that Naruto was on its tail and it flicked him off, sending him into the air. Naruto put away his Kusanagi and brought out Fear and Destruction. With a wave of his fox like blade, he yelled, "FOX TWISTER!" That created a huge twisted of violent wind energy that sucked in the serpent, making it scream out in pain as the other four were sucked in as well.

No one would ever see those 5 again.

"Is he insane!" Ella asked fearfully as she and Clarisse held ont o the raft from dear life as the tornado raged on for a few more second before dissipating. The air borne harpies where having more trouble, but thankfully they were not sucked in.

"This is how he fights." Clarisse cried out.

"It is like being a hurricane!" Ella cried.

Naruto sighed as he was free falling again to the water. "This is going to hurt." However, the fight was not yet done as 7 more Sea Serpents shot out of the water, waiting for him. "Yeah…this is really going to hurt. Fuck it. Wind Style: Vortex Cannon!" He shot out a spiraling ball of wind from his fist and it hit the water that was in the middle of the group of sea snakes. That made them swirl around violently.

While they were distracted by their dizziness, he managed to get his black flame wings up. "I have go to end this soon. This is just ridiculous."

Soon, he spotted a landmark not too far away. It would seem that they drifted a lot since entering this place because he could see the Crashing Rocks. Let's hope they reset themselves since dealing with Jason and the Argonauts. He thought before circling the sea serpents, getting their attention before flying off. They chased after him like he wanted.

"What is that idiot doing?" Clarisse asked.

I am not sure, but why is he heading for the Crashing Rocks?" Ella asked.

"The crashing what?" Clarisse roared as she began to paddle the raft in that direction, hoping to get a better look at what Naruto was planning. That idiot better come out of this alive!

As Naruto flew toward his destination, he remembered what he learned about this landmark and since he did not have bird to help him out, he took out a kunai and threw it at top speeds. The Crashing Rocks responded by crashing together and nicking the handle at the last second. That made Naruto smirk.

He flew faster, making the serpent work harder for their meal. They were so into trying to get Naruto, they never actually saw where they were heading until it was too late.

Naruto smirked as he flew in between the rocks, the serpent blindly following him. He then began to climb the air as the serpents stupidly tried snapping at him. Soon, he heard the rocks start to move and with one more flap, he push himself high above the rocks. Just in time too because they crashed together, splattering the 7 stupid sea serpents. He narrowly missed the guts the flew in his direction.

"Anyone up for crushed snake?" Naruto asked himself with a chuckle. Sure, it was not his best joke, but he could not think of one at the moment. Sighing, he flew along the water to where he left Clarisse and Ella.

Once there, Ella looked at him funny as he landed and the wings disappeared. "Ella does not understand. "How is a demi-god able to fly?"

"I am from the world that the gods sometimes visit." Naruto informed her. "So it is one of my powers."

"Impressive." Ella said before her sisters joined them.

It would seem that Ella was the exception to these being because she was not ugly as hell like them. "We thank you young hero! We thought you were going to attack us, but you saved us from being eaten ourselves!"

"Hey, it was no problem, but you should be thanking you sister Ella. She is the one that warned me about what was going to happen." Naruto informed the leader.

"Yes we should." The leader said irritably. "Even though we don't treat her well just because she is different, doesn't mean she is family. She has already proven that to us." The leader pause for a minute and said, "Is there anything we can do for you young heroes?"

"Could you point us in the right direction to Polyphemus' island? We are on a quest to get the Golden Fleece." Clarisse asked.

"Ah, just like Jason!" The leader screeched. "Ella will take you! She knows these waters well!"

With that, the harpies all left, not even saying goodbye to her sister. Naruto scowled at them, before he turned to the pretty harpy. "If you could take us, we would like that very much."

"I would be happy too since you helped me. It is only fair that Ella helps you like Ella said Ella would." The woman said cheerfully, but the third person speech was getting on Naruto's nerves somewhat.

"Well Ella, welcome to our rag tag group." Naruto said with a chuckle, even as Clarisse hit him on the shoulder.

As they were heading out in the right direction this time, Naruto piped up. "Hey Clarisse."

"Yeah blondie?"

"If Percy and Annabeth somehow ended up on some sea resort while we had to fight off Sea Serpents, I might just kill him." He replied, which made the girl laugh her ass off, hoping that was the case.

"This is it?" Naruto asked as they arrived at their destination. The island looked more like what you would see on a post card that some monster's lair. I mean, other than a rope bridge across a chasm, it looked like the perfect vacation spot.

"Yeah. It is the effects of the Fleece that make this place so…lively." Clarisse replied as she too looked around in awe.

"Amazing, but Ella must go."

"Huh? Why?" Naruto asked in curiosity.

"Ella must return to her sisters."

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked. "You said they don't treat you right, so I don't see why you are going back to them. I mean, it is your life, you should decide what to do, not let them do it for you."

"Ella sees….Ella with think on it." She replied thoughtfully before taking off.

Clarisse turned to her blond crush and asked, "You would really want Ella to join us?"

Naruto shrugged, "I don't see why not, I mean I have gotten used to Tyson and his is a Cyclopes!"

"You have a point." Clarisse mumbled before saying, "Alright, let's get this quest done and over with!"

"Right!" Naruto shouted as they charged across the bridge.

They didn't know that Ella heard every word they said, making her wonder who Tyson was.

The duo made their way to a large field where a lone tree sat and on that tree was the Golden Fleece. "Ok, this should be easy." Clarisse replied, ignoring all the sheep in the area.

Naruto, however, looked grim. Nothing was ever that easy for them. So he held out his arm. Clarisse what to yell at him but he just pointed to a lone squirrel on the field. They watched as the squirrel made its way to the tree, only for the sheep to go feral and rip apart the poor creature. All that was left were the bones. "Oh yeah…it is never that easy." Naruto replied while Clarisse had a pale face.

But before they could even think of how to get it, Naruto was suddenly picked up and thrown towards the beach. The last thing he saw before he hit the beach and passed out was Clarisse being picked up by Polyphemus himself. Aw….shit.

That was a pain to get out of my head. Anyway, next chapter should be normal length. So no flames! Oh and please tell me. Since i am not doing the second series...should i have Ella join them later?

Review. Oh and thanks for being patient with me.
