Chapter 5
Also, Hazel is thought to be a child of Hades while Frank is an odd child of Ares, only Hades, Persephone, Nico, Frank, Ares, and Hazel know the truth.
Hey guys this is slayer2031 here and I'm replying to your reviews this time.
ZoeandArtyawesomelover: Well if you want him to bully them some more….Honestly love that too.
Nebular Reaper: I honestly can't answer your question. I'm currently battling Alabaster as to the answer.
ILikeHotDogs: Well the thing is Alabaster would win because my lawyer is better than yours, and he's also the creator of hot dogs, so he's infinitely more awesome than you. ;)
ShadowHunteroftheShadows: Well thank you kindly good sir. I will my good chap.
Nightmare(A.N. Absolutely no one saw this coming….):
I was overlooking the camp, watching Thalia and Nico getting into an argument. I was a bit too far to hear what was being said, but their voices kept raising until I could hear "...PERCY AWAY!"
"PERCY WAS A FOOL, JUST LIKE ALL OTHER MEN!"
"PERCY WAS A HERO! THE GREATEST HERO OF ALL!"
With that, Nico spun away, walking back towards the cabin, with Thalia still screaming profanities at his back. I followed him, curious as to what had happened.(A.N. Thanks to Asilda for the idea. Also, great stories.) As I was walking I started calling out, forgetting that this was just a dream.
To my shock, Nico turned around, looking straight at me, and said "yo Perce,"
"How can you see me!?"
"Dreamwalking is just sending out your spirit, and Children of Hades, along with certain monsters, can see spirits, and my siblings and I can talk to them."
"Does this mean you can control people's spirits in dreams?!" I exclaimed,
"No, just send them back to their bodies. Anyway, where are you?"
"At the….junkyard."
"Where Bi died?" Nico asked quietly,
"Yes"
"I'll be there soon, after telling the people still on your side."
"Ok"
"Now wake up."
When I woke up I felt strangely rested even though I only slept for five hours. I walked around stretching out my muscles and looking at all of the 'junk'. There really was a lot of useful items here, well useful for demigods and their children, not so much for the gods apparently.
I looked back at the pendants with my new eye. When I looked at the one that looked like the junkyard I pulled up the info my eye had on it.
Pendant of the Junkyard
This pendant is connected to the junkyard in many ways.
One of these ways is it will always act as a compass back to the junkyard to the wearer.
For the other uses you must find them out yourself.
Then the *shiver* Tartarus pendant

My eye then short circuited for a few seconds before rebooting and acting as if nothing had ever happened. This pendant must be really powerful for it to do that to my eye which is technically a godly artifact. Better to not wear it right now, not till I find out more.
There was a large thump, along with an exclamation of surprise. Nico, Connor and Travis, and Katie already stood outside, gaping at my tent.
"Well well well look who finally showed up."
"PERCY" They all exclaimed, then crushed me in a strange dog pile/hug.
"GOING DOWN" I then pretended like I was dying under the combined force of their bodies hitting me, at least until Nico slapped me, then uppercutted me back into the tent. All of the others then high-fived him. When Nico came in for one last slap my robot activated a defense of sorts I never knew it had and zapped him. The expression on his face was priceless and I busted out laughing.
Of course, this earned me another punch. Nico smirked,"Was it worth?"
"Yes, yes it was my jolly old chap,"
*Crack*
"OWWWW!"
"I think you broke part of my helmet man, I LIKED THIS HELMET!" I yelled before dousing him in ice cold water.
"EEEEEK!"
"OH MY GODS YOU SQUEALED!" The Stolls started laughing at this, even Katie had a small smile.
"I will drop you off Olympus if you do that again," Nico warned.
"And I would fly away on Blackjack, or if he isn't available, water vapor goes a long way." I replied, still giggling.
"Anyone ever tell you how dense obsidian is? Or how hard it is to breathe cocooned in it?"
"Actually the Athena cabin is quite scary, so yes I do know the answer to both of those questions" I smiled, before thinking about one certain daughter of Athena and my mood plummeted.
"Clearly you learned nothing, because the second one is technically unanswerable."
"They have their ways, I'm not quite sure how, but they did it."
"Anyway, I have some new powers that can involve things like molten rock."
"Alright, you win. Where did you get those powers anyway?"
"Me and Hazel had to make nice with Persephone."
"So, was it worth?"
Nico gave me a dirty glare. I shrunk away, his glare didn't get any easier to look at with a mech eye. "Yeah, but just barely. Me and Haze got the full spectrum of powers, though Hazel chose to increase her basic physical traits, getting prettier, stronger, and faster, those things, while I went full powers."
"So what's the extent?"
"Earth control, including liquid form, which, btw, includes metals, hellfire, shadow travel, raising undead, well, anything, and bone control, which scares even me. Hazel and I got new weapons as well, Hazel a bow, since the whole horse and shapeshifting bf and all. I got a scythe."(A.N. Go look at Thanatos in Smite, it's his scythe.)
"Bone control?"
"Not while the owners are alive, at least not yet. I can make bone weapons, armor, all sorts of stuff. Also, I don't get as tired now by using my powers."
"Wow, OP"
"I hear you can form ice armies, btw. Your pretty OP too."
"Meh"
They heard a giggle, then looked over at the Stolls. They had a camera in hand and were filming the whole thing. Before I could do anything, a spike of lead stabbed right through the camera, eliciting a squeak from the eavesdroppers. Nico had an angelic face on, looking completely innocent.
"Anyway, what's going on?" Nico asked.
"Not much, just looking at these 2 pendants."
"They look weird, well only one is weird, the other is creepy"
"And you, the 'creepy' son of Hades is telling me that something is creepy. That's not how it works… but I do agree with you."
"Anyways why are you here?"
"I took a flight to San Fran because all of the titan magic would've hidden me from the demigods and wandered a bit. After a few hours I found this place and walked in. The junkyard decided it liked me and made me the new guardian. I got some pretty sweet stuff outta the deal though."
"...… Wow, what'd ya get?"
"This imperial gold gladius for one." I spoke, pulling it out of it's sheath. Nico looked intrigued at the metal, like he'd seen it before but couldn't remember.
"Then came my robotic eye, which gives me access to things like info on monsters, quality of materials, different weapon statistics, etc."
"Woah we want one!" The Stolls chorused.
"No you don't, to get it in it literally shredded my eye out of it's socket. It hurt like hell. Also the first time you use it it gives you a massive migraine, still gives me some small ones from time to time."
"Nevermind then." I smirked
"Then I got a hunter-esq tent that is like a whole house. It has a master bedroom, guest bedroom, kitchen, front room, a basement, 3 bathrooms, 4 closets, etc. It is also fully wired up with electronics and video games and stuff."
"Do you have Skyrim" Katie asked.
"I never pegged you as one to play that game but yes, yes I do."
"WOOOOH SKYRIM!" Everyone yelled. They then ran to my tent and basically slammed through the door. After about five minutes I could hear the cries of jubilation as they found it in the game room. I shook my head fondly at what they were doing.
I walked through the door to the game room as they were creating a character. They were using the Xbox 360 on one of the 100" plasma screen TVs. Nico and Travis were arguing over whether it should be an argonian or a khajiit. Travis and Katie were arguing whether it should be a boy or a girl. I smiled at the scene before speaking "It's gonna be a female khajiit."
There were two shouts of "HA, I WIN!" One came from Nico and the other came from Katie. To prevent further arguing I took the controller and created the character. They pouted that they couldn't customize it but eventually shut up when the game started. While the character was on the chopping block it was decided that the character would be a sneaky archer with a 2-1-1 vote. Travis and Conner won, obviously.
"Ok guys remember you have a switch every thirty minutes ok." I told them.
"Got it." "Right on" "Fine by me." "I guess that works."
Travis Conner Nico Katie
I guess Katie wants to play a lot if that's her answer.
"Well anyways guys, see ya I have to go do some stuff."
"Bye." They chorused.
