"It wasn't a deep cut, but Luke howled. His eyes glowed like lava. The throne room shook, throwing me off my feet. An aura of energy surrounded Luke, growing brighter and brighter.
But somehow Kronos still took control. "You'll pay for this Jackson," Kronos threatened. "You'll suffer a fate worse than death and never see your loved ones again!"
"Run Annabeth, Grover!" I yelled. But they were too stunned to make a move. I shot my eyes and felt a force like a nuclear explosion blister my skin and crack my lips.
For an amount of time, I completely blacked out.
When I opened my eyes I was no longer in the throne room. In fact, I wasn't even in Manhattan anymore, I was soaring through some forest. It was just like that time when I blew up Mount Helens. But it wasn't even me this time.
How did Kronos take over his body again? Does this mean Luke died? Why couldn't I witness his last moments? What about Annabeth and Grover? They don't have the Curse of Achilles. Is it possible that they were blown away? No, it can't be.
Wait, I haven't sent up the signal yet. I can't be flying right now. I can't burden my mom anymore. If I plummet into the ground at this speed will my curse even protect me?
But as I was soaring, thinking of ways I could survive, I flew above a patch of the forest with a lake. This is my chance. By some miracle, I dove right into the water and felt it cushion my fall. Thank God. Instead of rejuvenating though I felt like I did 100 marathons and once again everything turned black.
Meanwhile at the Grigori
"What is that immense shaking," Azazel thought. "Such power has to be checked out." Before the Governor General of the Fallen Angels Azazel himself could do anything, the Chief Secretary barged into the room.
"Azazel, we've reported a space time distortion in Kuoh's Park," Penemue reported. "Fallen Angels are being sent to the scene but someone is interfering with them. He's someone we have never seen before and he's strong."
Azazel sighed. He had just finished all his work and expected to enjoy some well deserved free time.
Percy's POV:
I woke up in pain.
Damn my body hurts. Despite both the Curse and the water I was severely aching all over. But I was actually injured. It seems the force of that blast destroyed my armor so I'm lucky for my clothes to be in one piece. Wait, where am I? Kronos sent me flying. I have to get back to Olympus to check on my friends and family.
But when I got solid footing on the water's surface something came flying towards me. No, I realized they were multiple of them and they weren't birds like I previously thought. They were humanoid for the most part except for their big black wings. Are these guys with Kronos or the Olympians? Because if not us then I don't have time for this. Instinctively I reached for Riptide in my pocket but to my horror it wasn't there. I frantically searched for it and even in the water but it just was gone.
Could this day get any more worse? Kronos sent me flying to god knows where. I lost Riptide. I have now idea what happened to Annabeth, Grover, Paul and my mom. I have to get out of here. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't realize these guys finally landed. There were 15 in all and they wore deep black clothes. One of them who appeared to be the leader drifted over to me.
The sky no, the whole area was covered in black. Like some large dome to conceal us was erected.
"Who are you and state your purpose!" he declared. This guy was different. Unlike the others he had four wings instead of two.
"Actually that's my question. I haven't seen anything quite like you. Are you with Kronos or the Olympians?"
He looked at me like I just said the strangest thing. "What are you talking about? We are the Fallen Angels, the Grigory. Please do not play games with us. Now I must request for you to come with us. Either willingly or by force!"
He made his threat real when he manifested a spear of light in his hands. Dammit I have no idea what this clown is talking about? Riptide still hasn't appeared and I can't afford to go with him. All I have is the water and my body. Despite the pain I was in earlier my body felt lighter and rejuvenated. It was like heavy chains of my body were lifted and I could finally breathe again. I felt truly invulnerable like I lost my weak point but the power was still there.
"Sorry but I have places to be. Nice seeing you though."
And with that their attack began. Twenty spears of light were thrown in my direction. Honestly, they didn't stand a chance. Before their attacks landed I moved with such speed the surface of water exploded. None of their spears touched me. Even with wings I knocked almost all of them down with one punch. One of them shot a spear at me but I simply caught it to his terror and threw it back knocking him out. The only guy who seemed to have any decent strength was the one with four wings.
"See, why this was a bad idea. I'll knock down everything you throw at me!" He howled. He charged up some special circle in his hand but I didn't let him. I jumped towards him at breakneck speeds and this time I sent him flying over the lake uprooting tries with his descent.
With some major bad timing 6 more angels showed up all possessing 6 wings this time. I felt bad for them. I didn't even bother to dodge their spears. They all shattered on my body without leaving a scratch. Seriously, where are these guys coming from? I think Annabeth would've lectured me on these guys but I haven't got a clue. I was so deep in my thoughts I barely realized that I was once again being attacked. Having an invincible body sure is nice. This time my body moved even faster. I jumped into the air before they could even register me and began my assault. Using their bodies as springboards I punched all their lights without effort. Seriously I've fought Kronos and Hyperion there was nothing the likes of them could do. I should probably find out what a Fallen Angel is but I've got other things to do.
I felt a new presence. It was much stronger than what I've experienced. I turned around and stared upward. And there he was. He was a Fallen Angel but he was different, better. He had 12 wings and they were blacker like an eternal night.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Azazel, the Governor General of the Fallen Angels. And you interrupted my relaxation."
"And I am Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon."
"Son of - so that old party head really had a kid huh?" he said. "He really should learn when to stop. So which girl was it this time?"
I was offended. I didn't like it when someone treated me like I shouldn't have been born.
"Well even if you are his son or not I need you to come with me. I'd like to ask you about that space time distortion earlier."
I was completely fed up with him. "I'd like to see you try grandpa."
"Oh please you aren't on my level."
And with that he summoned 20 no thirty spears of light at well lightspeed. If it wasn't for the curse I would've been obliterated. I couldn't command the sea to protect me nor did I believe it would help. I could only run, duck, dodge and roll and even that wasn't enough because 6 spears still hit me dead in the chest. Another 12 completely evaporated the water I stood on and sent me flying into the forest.
"You're a tough customer, I can't believe you're still conscious and unharmed." Azazel flew in closer.
"Of course I did." Still I wondered why I could dodge those beams. I could see the beams as they flew in and tried to counter but it was like my body couldn't keep up with my eyes.
"Come on if you're Poseidon's brat you should do better than that!" Okay now I'm mad. I jumped up with such ferociousness I cratered the ground and could've mistaken for flying. My fist aimed right for his face but he blocked it with a magic spell. Then he moved with such speed I could barely keep up. Once again 20 spears of light were summoned but it was different this time. I did something that should've been impossible for a Son of Poseidon. Even in midair, I dodged and weaved past all the spears like I was flying. I felt as light as a feather and could move as freely as a bird. Like there was an invisible staircase in the air I rushed towards him. I grabbed one of his light spears and smacked the rest he sent at me until I finally caught up with him. Once again I stretched out my fist but this time his magic didn't stop it. A little blood spilled from his lip.
"Very impressive kid. You have a very powerful body and a lot of potential. But let's see how you handle this." With that declaration he took out a golden short spear with a glowing purple ball at its end.
"Let's see how you handle the Down Fall Dragon Spear, Balance Break." I have never seen anything like it. Hephaestus couldn't have made the armor he was now enveloped in. It was a regal golden armor with golden jewels and a light golden spear.
"Down Fall Dragon Another Armor." He almost disappeared. By the time I registered him his fist sinked into my gut.
Before I plummeted I heard, "It was a nice try, kid but you got a lot to learn."
And with that I made a crater in the earth. Even with that I was still unharmed. But when I got up to my feet all my energy plummeted right out of my system. Crap! I clearly pushed my body past its limits and overused my stamina. I guess with what I just did there should be some major backlash. Man this guy was too strong.I don't have time for this. I have to get back to Olympus.
And with that I slumbered for a long time.
Back at the Grigory
"But General Azazel we can't just let him free, he's strong!" Penemue complained.
"Oh I don't see why not," Azazel complained. "We are still interested in that space time distortion this brat was caught up in don't we. Besides I want to ask this brat about his dad and what the hell he's doing all the way out here. And that invincibility of his sure is intriguing."
And with that Azazel released the seal on a certain invincible demigod.
HELLO and Thank you for reading. I decided to write this out in my free time and it was pretty fun. For right now Percy will be training mastering new techniques outside the main storyline like in the Greek Pantheon. He'll be integrated into the main timeline at Volume 12.
