Percy is transferred to a new school called Goode for his junior high school, the difference this time is not a boarding school like his old school when in elementary school. To be honest, Percy was surprised that he would go to an elite school like Goode for junior high, before, he would only go to Goode when he entered high school, not junior high, this was another change from his past which he thought was good, now he just had to find a way to break the empathetic connection he had with Grover, he obviously didn't want to die when the satyr died. Fortunately he found a magic book in Medusa's shop earlier, it turned out to be easy to remove the connection from empathy.
He waited for the full moon because according to the magic book he took, Moonlight is effective in removing any magic, considering that empathic connections are included in magic, then concentrated Moonlight is able to remove empathic connections.
Percy certainly did not sit idly by waiting for the full moon, he did not want to spend his time in vain, he was training to become stronger, after all, he had people who sided with him whom he wanted to protect in the future, people who were loyal to him, as well as he needed strength to fight the gods.
It seemed so long to wait for the full moon, he did not expect, it was a full moon night. He uses rituals to remove magic from him. There is some magic attached to him, such as the tracking magic that Chiron and Grover installed, the empathy magic that Grover used on him as well as The Curse magic that Ares installed on him when Ares had fully recovered, Ares cursed him from behind.
Goode Junior High School
"Throw it here, Percy" said a boy waving at Percy.
Percy immediately throws a basketball in his hand to the boy who immediately puts it in the basket.
Percy shouted with pleasure when the basketball was put in the basket. Percy did join the basketball team at Goode junior high and was a pretty good player on the team until even though he was only a freshman, he was already a core member of the basketball team.
Percy's body is indeed getting closer to his old form of lean muscle through the physical training he underwent, although obviously he is not as high as his old form due to the passage of time, but it is not difficult to reach his old height by eating a healthy and nutritious diet and adequate exercise and rest. Moreover, he also intends to ignore Grover now, he will allow the traitor satir to die at the hands of Cyclops, although it is clear that he will join the search for the Golden Fleece, because he wants his cousin Thalia, although annoying but faithful, to return to being a demi-god.
"Team A is the winner" said the commentator seeing Percy's team win an interclass match at the Goode junior high basketball tournament.
Percy was embraced by the rest of his team, he ignored the sweat that fell on him, he smiled happily. It's been a long time since he was happy, before he was so busy with the war that there was no time to have fun.
"Bye" said Percy waving his hand to his friends, he had to go home now considering that it was getting dark, the night was the time when the monsters began to increase so it was dangerous for the demigod seemed to wander at night.
Percy went to camp when summer began, his mother knew because he had told his mother through the fog. If he remembers correctly, today was the day he was attacked by a monster at his old school and drove off in a gray taxi to camp.
Like his old life, he used the services of the Grey sisters to take him to the camp, in fact he obtained the coodinat of the Golden Fleece from the Grey sisters who would lead him to the island where the Golden Fleece was being guarded by the giant Cyclops who was also Percy's brother.
Percy arrives just in time when Camp is attacked. He controlled the water around the camp to attack the monsters, especially the bronze bull made by Hephaetus.
"Aww... It's a shame, Clarisse, you have to be saved from the mechanical bull by me" teased Percy who had just saved Clarisse from death.
"Shut up, Jackson, you're just lucky and I don't need your help" sneered Clarisse with a hateful look. She hated Jackson wholeheartedly, based on her memories, Jackson was nothing more than the skinny boy Chiron and the wise girl rescued from Athena's cabin last year, and now Jackson has the courage to come back with a lean, muscular body with his baby fat beginning to partially disappear? Mental! Unmistakably, Jackson is also getting stronger judging from his previous control of the water.
"Angry angry angry" Percy sneers at Clarisse, who will start another argument if the sound of screaming does not interrupt their conversation.
"Aaaaah" someone shouted in pain.
Percy directs the water to the source of the sound and uses the water to protect the owner of the sound, he lifts the owner of the sound with his water ball and attacks anything that attacks the owner of the sound with a jet of water. He was inspired by the Avatar cartoon and anime titled Black Clover, to be honest this year was a fun year, free from Gabe, free from fear because of poverty, free from an empathic relationship with Underwood, so Percy could have fun at school like a normal child, he also practiced using cartoon and anime references that had many good ideas for his technique.
Finally, after a few hours of fighting, the camp can be declared safe for the time being so that the fighting demigods can rest and heal themselves, the children of apollo wander around the camp to heal the wounded campers, the Dryads and Satir go around to stand guard with the other demigods to guard the camp whose defenses began to collapse due to the poisoning of Thalia's pine tree.
As in the past, Chiron was accused of poisoning Thalia's tree and resigned from his position as camp director, replacing Tantalus, the son of Zeus who once entertained the gods with the flesh of his own son. The gods hated cannibalism because it reminded them of Kronos who had eaten the six oldest olympians who were his own children for fear of the curse given by Ouranos who was the Primordial God Of The Sky.
Tyson's absence did not affect Percy as he had previously thought. Tyson, like Grover, was more concerned with his position than his being their friend or brother, so Percy did not feel sorry to see Tyson killed by the Sphinx or other monsters.
Percy ignores the nonsense that Tantalus codifies when he gears up in his chariot. His car is not an iron car like cars from other cabins. His chariot was an ordinary wooden cart pulled by horses.
'Be sure to avoid colliding with the other carriage, Mist' whispered Percy to the neighing grey horse.
'Of course, my lord, I will escort you to victory' replied the mare excitedly.
The chariot race ended in chaos after a group of Stymphalian birds attacked the chariot. Percy certainly didn't have a problem with that bunch of fowl monsters, they weren't strong enough to cause trouble for him, but it's another story for other demigods, some demigods almost lost their eyes to the claws of Stymphalia birds.
Percy ignored the other's words in the middle of the campfire. He intends to go to the island where the Golden Fleece is tomorrow, he remembers the coordinates given by The Gray Sister and he intends to go there alone, he knows that Silena has been working with Luke now, so he cannot risk revealing the coordinate point where the Golden Fleece is. But he knew that Luke's ship and his men were nearby. He remembered Blackjack, it seemed he had to save his Pegasus before leaving for the island.
The next day, exactly in the morning before the sun shines. Percy has scrambled and sneaks to meet the oracle.
"What is my destiny?"Percy asked after making sure no one else was around with his liquid detection ability.
The mummified Oracle soon speaks, giving Percy a bit of goosebumps especially as he gets used to having Rachel as a receptacle for the new Delphi Oracle.
You will go to the Chained satyrs in the land that your brother guards
Bring back Chrysómallon déras safely
Chained the traitors and marked them
The rain and thunder daughter is finally back
"It seems different from the prophecy Clarisse received" muttered Percy before grinning when remembering about marking the traitors. Oh, does that mean he's finally going to catch Luke and the other traitors and make them his own? Oh, how impatiently he stained them.
Percy grinned viciously. It goes out of the attic and into the stables.
'I need help to get to the sea of monsters,' Percy said to the pegasus. The pegasus of course offered themselves to help their master's son.
"Thank you, but I just need a ride to the boat docked near the shore" Percy said to Pegasus who nodded in understanding.
Percy quietly went away from the campsite, fortunately Mr. D is summoned to Olympus so that he can get away from the camp easily, moreover, Tantalus will not care about the lost campers. Pegasus flying high approaching Andromeda anchored in the sea off the coast of Long Island.
Once Percy arrives near the ship, he uses telepathy to race the captured horses.
'I will release you, My Name Is Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon,' said Percy to the cries of the horses held captive in the monster-infested ship.
Percy manipulates the seawater to split the ship in two. The chest containing the severed body of Kronos fell into the sea, the sea bubbled as if sensing Kronos ' presence, a current carried the chest containing the severed body of Kronos to Poseidon's Palace if Percy wasn't mistaken.
'At least Olympus will be ready this time,' Percy thought, remembering how many demigods had died in the war because of Zeus ' refusal to acknowledge that Kronos was trying to return.
Percy uses his Cyrokinesis to freeze all the demigods on Andromeda and place them in his water dimension. This ability Percy learned when he was in Argo II, it's true, this technique was created by accident, he didn't even think that he would use this technique now, but he was grateful that he still trained many techniques that he could use in his previous life. Chained in a prophecy can mean caught or sealed, as Percy did to the traitorous demigods.
Percy does not intend to let Grover live, but he will not get an alibi if he lets Grover die when he saves the Golden Fleece later.
'Haah... Nothing's going my way,' Percy thought. Actually there is another way to save the demigod besides siding with Olympus, namely by betraying Olympus by making a pact with Gods from other pantheons, especially stronger pantheons such as the Shinto Pantheon which is the strongest Pantheon.
"Excuse me... Can anyone help me? I need a ride to retrieve the Golden Fleece and save my friend? Can an Ichthyosaur or something come and be my ride?"asked Percy. He knew his father heard him, but he didn't care.
From the ocean, a group of ichthyosaurs pull a chariot that surprises Percy.
'My Lord... Lord Poseidon has heard your request, he sent a horse-drawn carriage with us to help you reach your destination'
"Thank you," said Percy, getting into the carriage. Ichthyosaurs took Percy to the sea of monsters.
'Where Are we going, My Lord?'asked an Ichthyosaur.
"Go to Scylla's cliff... Don't worry, I'll protect you guys" Percy said to the nodding ichthyosaurs, although they were afraid, they believed in their master.
Percy senses Scylla approaching. Percy uses his hydrokinesis to create a water shield between the chariot and Scylla. Scylla who tried to break through the shield was instantly killed by the pressure of the water inside the shield. Percy's chariot passed over Scylla's cliff, which almost destroyed Odysseus ' crew without losing any of the ichthyosaurs pulling the chariot.
Percy arrives at Circe island.
'As far as I remember Reyna and Hylla are here,' thought Percy, grinning maliciously. He still remembered the brothers who had caused him trouble before, he would finish them both today.
'Sorry, Jay, Reyna will never be Praetor with you again' thought Percy. He then enters Circe's Spa.
"Way... Handsome young man, what is this place doing?"said Circe, she started using her Charmspeak, she thought a boy like Percy would fall for her seduction, but she didn't know a thing, Percy is a teenager who has gone through two wars, his former friend Piper McLean has a more powerful Charmspeak than Circe so Circe's Charmspeak doesn't affect him.
Percy defeats Circe with ease, but when Circe loses, the spell is broken, and all the Pirates she transformed into guinea pigs are transformed back into humans. The Pirates begin attacking Circe. Captain Blackbeard, the son of Ares, captures Hylla and Reyna, and along with all his men rapes the two underage girls. Percy only watched this until he was merciful enough to kill them all including Reyna and Hylla, he has no interest in being merciful now, he will make those who betrayed him pay, fuck him he will be put to death, his revenge will not be easily extinguished.
Percy returns to his horse-drawn carriage after retrieving the money and items at the spa. He ordered the ichthyosaurs to continue their journey.
They finally arrive at the island of Polyphemus who guards the Golden Fleece. Percy could already see the Golden Fleece from a distance.
Percy doesn't see Polyphemus anywhere, but he knows that the giant Cyclops exists and is watching the island. He uses his hydrokinesis to create a mist that instantly fills the island, the giant sheep Polyphemus bleating.
"What is it, my dear? Is there anyone? Just when am I getting married?"asked Polyphemus in his heavy voice. Percy almost giggled, as if Underwood was about to be remarried by Polyphemus.
Percy secretly settles into the cave, Polyphemus, of course, he needs Polyphemus to make sure the rock that closes the cave remains open, even though he uses the power of the earthquake, but he does not want the gods to know in advance, let alone Zeus who is paranoid obviously will not let him live when he knows that he is strong and can tear Zeus from his throne on Olympus.
Percy may consider himself strong, but he is still a demigod, a human being with the blood of a God in his veins, while the gods, yes, gods, divine beings, the gods have a way of killing him remotely, or by cursing him, he is clearly not interested in being cursed by the gods.
Percy then quietly releases Grover. Grover is startled to make the sound of a splatter echoing within the cave, the commotion caused by Grover drawing Polyphemus ' attention.
'Stupid goat' thought Percy, he was tempted to kill the satyr now, but he would have held back.
"WHO ARE YOU?"cried Polyphemus.
"Nobody," cried Percy, making Polyphemus growl.
"Nobody? I still remember you" growled Polyphemus.
"You're too stupid to remember being nobody," Percy said, making Polyphemus even angrier.
"How dare you... "I will kill you and make you an offering to Poseidon," said Polyphemus.
"No... "You wouldn't dare!" sneered Percy. He orders Grover to escape through the cave door. While Percy controls the silted water in the cave to push Polyphemus to the door to prevent the door from closing, Polyphemus is pushed, unable to control his balance so he falls in the hole of the door of the cave, Percy did not wait long, he immediately cut the Cyclops ' legs so he could not move.
He takes the Golden Fleece that lies on top of the tree and pulls Grover into a chariot drawn by ichthyosaurs and away from the giant cyclop island. Of course, Polyphemus ' roar sounded beautiful, especially when he heard Polyphemus ask Poseidon to curse him.
"Percy... How did you get here?"asked Grover, trembling with fear.
"Dreams, moreover Grey Sister's words made me curious about what I was looking for... It looks like the Golden Fleece said in mythology can heal anything this is what I'm looking for, it looks like this golden fleece can be used to heal Thalia's Tree" said Percy staring at the Golden Fleece in his hand.
Grover was silent, he was still recovering from his shock.
The train took them to Long Island. Once again, they passed Scylla's cliff, Percy of course was on alert, he didn't know how long it would take for Scylla to come back to life, but it didn't hurt to be careful, his worries turned out to be unnecessary, when the train passed Scylla's cliff, they weren't attacked by any of the monsters in the sea of monsters.
"JACKSON"
'What a warm welcome' thought Percy sarcastically at Clarisse's cry.
"You slipped out of camp unannounced, Jackson" hissed Clarisse.
"I had a dream, Do you think Tantalus will give me a mission?"asked Percy. He raised his hand.
"Don't ask, it's a rhetorical question," said Percy.
"What mission, Brat?"cynical Tantalus who came complete with his prison clothes.
"Why? Of course, to take the Golden Fleece, " said Percy proudly, revealing the Golden Fleece, which drew breathless gasps from the rest of the campers.
Tantalus, of course, tried to take the Golden Fleece from Percy, but he was kicked until he was pushed several meters.
"This is to cure Thalia's tree, you moronic cannibal," said Percy, staring intently at Tantalus, who looked at him with hatred.
Percy put the Golden Fleece in the root of Thalia's tree. The tree glowed for a moment and began to heal itself.
"I'm the camp director, Jackson, everything in this camp is basically mine to use and to command," Tantalus said.
"Hoo... Are you suggesting that Mr. D is your slave?"asked Percy flatly that made Tantalus paled, especially when he saw Mr. D looked at him intently.
"I am.. That... "Don't move the conversation, Jackson, you're being punished for leaving camp without permission," Tantalus said.
"Really? Then, do you want to provoke the wrath of the gods?"asked Percy who confused Tantalus.
"What do you mean?"
"You idiot... Have you forgotten the demigods here are God's children... Apollo and Aphrodite were the most protective gods towards their children, I took the Golden Fleece so that Thalia's tree would heal and the borders of the camp would return... With the camp border back, the potentially deadly Border Patrol is no longer needed... In other words, the demigods especially the children of the two gods I mentioned earlier can live... What's more, do you want to provoke the wrath of Poseidon?"asked Percy who made Tantalus paled and stuttered, he tried to look for an answer, but did not find it.
Tantalus leaves, leaving Percy and the other demigods staring at him as if he had two heads.
"Perry Johnson.. Shouldn't you be hinting that I don't care about my children?"asked Mr. D raised his eyebrows.
"I'm just referring to mythology, Mr. D, unfortunately there is no story about your care for your children" said Percy flatly which made Dionysus blush with anger, but he would ignore the stab for now, because of the aura that was on Percy was the aura of his uncle Poseidon, he did not want to anger his terrible uncle, that's why he left the impudent demigod.
Percy's arrival with the Golden Fleece divided the mulatto camp into two camps. First, the camp supported Percy and thanked him so that the patrol duty that allowed them to die was stopped. Secondly, the camp is not happy with Percy because they think Percy is just a new person, but has attracted the attention of other demigods, one of the people who belong to this camp is Annabeth, she is not happy and jealous of Percy, because Percy has repeatedly come out of the camp borders, returned alive and achieved such achievements, even though she had been in the camp for a long time and trained, did not have any achievements.
At the end of the day, Chiron is returned to the camp of the mulattoes, and Tantalus is sent back to the underworld to continue his punishment.
As in the previous life, the Golden Fleece returns Thalia alive, Annabeth cries and hugs Thalia.
That summer ends with happy tears, anxiety and curses from Chiron about the time Titan and all his machinations, as well as thanks from the horse nations including Blackjack that Percy rescued from the titan army.
Summer vacation is over.
