Templar's, the animus, and a family history

Nico's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night with a big pain on my head, that blow came from one of those freaks who kidnapped Percy, it happened after he got knocked to his knees, the fighting style was quit unorthodox he looked like a ninja but with no sword and no black uniform, the way he dodge, parry, and disarmed the attackers was cool but shocking, that wasn't Percy they way he fought it's like something awoke inside him, after he got knocked out I ran to save him but I was unlucky, I took a good blow to the face which left me KO for a few hours.

I knew I have to save Percy, Annabeth made me promise on the Styx to help him, even when he's captured I have to save him but how? How will I find a group of Octavian's goons when I don't know where to start? There is only one way I need help from both Hermes and Artemis to help track the ambushers down but as I start to pack my stuff along with some of Percy's I noticed a falling star and it came to the ground about 40 yards away, I ran to the crash sight but instead of one of those star stones that the falling stars turn into it was a small gold sphere with glowing linings, as I picked it up and to my surprise it's very light, but as I stare into it a flash came from it.

Every thing was completely dark but I was not alone, Juno was standing in front of me with a smiling like she's expecting me.

"Juno?"

"Yes child, I need to contact you by the apple that you are holding so we won't be eaves dropped"

I don't know what kind of apple it is surely, although I don't think that this is an apple to eat, but some how the power it felt like a battery running and I was what it was powering up, why did Juno gave me this thing? Is she the help I'm going to get? I don't trust her because she not a fan of demigods, yet the 7 are her champions and she was and still is their patron.

"But why? Why did you gave me this? why did you came to me for help?"

"Because child, you have witnessed an enemy that tried to take over the world by store order by controlling peoples minds, and I will help you find Percy. Let me show you some child."

A great flash came and I have the form of an eagle, soaring behind another one but glowing bronze who must have been Juno, why did Juno turned me into an eagle and why am I following her?

"what did you do to me?"

"I gave you the form of the symbol of this country, follow me."

I followed her to a forest, I kept dodging the trees and the bushes.

"Who are those people that took Percy? why would they do such a thing?"

"those are knights from a millennium ago, these men will stop at nothing to gain what they what they want, they took Percy because he is a special child, he is born into a creed that wage a war on the knights for almost a thousand years, they took him because they believe his ancestor was the one who sold them to the king of France who owes them a debpt, and if they find out they will take vengeance on him and his family."

That part scared me, if Percy's ancestor really did that to those guys then he is not the only on in trouble, his mother, the stepfather, Annabeth and his daughter Celeste, he knew that he has no choice but to go out there and look for him and save him.

"I can't let that happened to them my lady I swore on the Styx that I would help him, even if it involves saving him, besides I owe him."

"Even if you would save him and repay your debt, you are going to need help, look for this symbol."

A picture of an ax blade looking thing, a triangle with a curved bottom that when over where the bottom angles should be, what kind of symbol is that?

"The answer you'll find is in New York at a building called the institute tower, there you will find out of your friends ancestry and birth right, he was suppose to be destined to be what he is born in. If you succeed you will help Percy and your friends defeat this enemy, and if you fail, every thing we have build will be destroyed, every thing we've build, even your home, your friends, your family will be gone forever."

After that another flash came and I woke up in the early morning sun near a creak, I still have to save Percy and I now have a goal to find him, all in 4 different steps, find the institute tower, learn of Percy's birthright, ask for help and last but not leased bust Percy out and help him escape, cake unless that I may die trying to help Percy escape, Octavian is not going to know what kind of surprise he will get.

"Don't worry Percy I will come and help you, but it won't be the help that you were thinking of, it's time to get a turning point and give Octavian the shock of his life."

Percy's POV

They took me out of the van but they blind folded me, I woke up during the trip, I don't know how I got those moves but they were awesome, but why did they kept me alive? Why didn't they kill me instead? Why are they calling me and assassin? And who was the ghost that I saw and why did I felt drawn to him? So many questions that I wanted answered, but there is a big problem right now, I'm captured and I have no idea where I am, I couldn't get my self loose from these guys but as I came into a room they put the blind fold of and sitting in front of me was the traitor auger Octavian smiling at me, he still looked scrawny but that didn't help me get into an angry rage.

" (growling) Octavian."

"Well hello the Jackson how nice to see you again, how is my favorite graecus? surely you must have met my friends?"

"I met them Octavian, but why did you let them kidnap me? why won't you let them kill me instead? let me go or I will strangle you."

"Why are you in a hurry? the reason why we captured you is because there's no need to kill you, the reason why is because the grand master believes that you are a descendant of the very man that cause most of his followers die a little over 700 years ago, but is not immortal but he wants to know that you are really the descendant of that man, you see there no reason for us to kill you... Yet... May I see his stuff?"

One of his goons brought the things that were in my pockets, Anaklusmos, 6 drachmas, my wallet, my Swiss army knife, and what terrified me was the picture of me, Annabeth and Celeste.

"I see that these things seemed pretty use full for civil life, but whats with the picture? wait who is this little girl Jackson? is she your daughter?"

I turned pale, he knows now of my family, I must somehow find a way to protect them, and now Octavian gave a look of mock surprise like I just gave him the answer, my expression was enough for him to know now and I knew it.

"Oh she is? well don't worry we won't deal with your chill yet, we still need you for answers... Take to the animus machine."

Two guards grabbed me by the shoulder and took me of some where, they dragged me through the hall way until we came to a room where there is nothing but a bed looking thing with a bunch of circles that represents a spine, they put on it and then I blacked out.

it wasn't long until I regain conscious I wasn't in the room any more, I am in an computerized abyss, no sky, no water. The scene start to change to an island in the middle of an ocean, and there are cement blocks floating every where. I realized that Annabeth and Celeste are in trouble, I have to get out of here but how? I started walking around the island until I heard a voice behind me.

"Just walked right past me son."

I turned and sitting on a rock is the ghost that I saw fighting Octavian's goons.

"You? you're the ghost that I saw when I was fighting, who are you?"

"I'm John Jackson kid, you must be Sally's son, and who is your father?"

"Wait how do you know my mom dude?"

"She is my daughter kid, I'm your grandfather."

"My grandfather? How could you be my grand father?"

He disappeared and reappeared in front of me, it made me trip and fall backwards, the surprising part was when he took of his hood and it shows his hair which is the same color as my mothers and his face looked almost like mine except with an angry impression.

"I died in a plane crash when Sally is small, look at me now."

His words were angry but truthful like he never lies, then I realize he is my grandfather but why is he wearing braces, and a robe thing around him? He held his hand to help me and to my surprise his hands felt cold but alive, not holographic.

"Lets talk buddy."

Once I got up we talked for a bit, I asked him about my family history, he told me that I'm blooded to a creed of assassins and that they fight to end the fighting and for freedom, and that the people who captured me are Templar's and they try to put order by controlling people, more questions came to me than answers, why am I blooded to a creed of assassins? Why am I suppose to be one? And why do the Templar's try to control people

"And so the reason why you saw me is because I just put my skills and abilities in you, so that you will have a better chance of survival... Now the Templar's will give you an hour to adapt to the animus so for that I will help you go through some tests so you will know your new skills and they involve climbing, stealth, assassination and combat so you have time before they will look through your DNA and see if your are related to Carter Le Hard, which you are, now you will relive his life for a few days but when those memories are fully over you will wake and you must find a way to escape."

"How do you know all this Grandpa?"

"Because it happened to me, but in our HQ at the Institute tower, and we updated the animus so we could go wake when ever we want and that we could understand our ancestors more, but here these Templar's will kill you if the get the chance, so you better get ready cause you've got not much time to loose."

He disappeared and then I saw some walls with holds like what you see on a climbing wall, that will help climb, I went up and go with ease, this reminds me of the lava spewing climbing wall at camp but with other challenges. After some time with some hanging, moving while hanging, jumping and balancing I came to some Knights in mail armor and they were patrolling, I hid in hay bails, use the high grounds and hide behind walls to get my stealth going on, even my foot steps became so quiet that even I can't hear them. then some braces appeared computerized on my wrists and as I tested them they held hidden daggers, perfect for concealing a small weapon, then on my belt came throwing knives the same way the braces did, and then a small crossbow with some crossbow bolts, both came in computerized like the braces, I realized that I have to assassinate in three different ways. I took some tries and they all worked, then came some of those knights and they start to attack me with swords, axes, maces, even some are on horses with lances, but I also came face to face archer, from bow men to crossbow men either mounted or on foot and there are also infantry with spears, swords, and axes, all of the armored in chain mail.

I fought with some counter attacks, I shot some, I used the concealed daggers as well and I even used the same combos that I used before the Templar's captured me on that field, and before I knew it I took down ever single one of them, but I still have about 1 minute and 30 seconds before I start to relive the life of my ancestor but I am ready for any thing, then the animus computerized me and change me into the clothes of a noble man from the middle ages and my facial features, my skin became paler, my hair style and color is different, thoughts, feelings and expression all are changed.

I am not Percy Jackson son of Poseidon any more, my name is Carter Le Hard, adopted son of king Phillip the bold.
