(REALLY IMPORTANT! I have changed a few details in the previous chapters. They were only small, but I changed quite a lot in chapter 2, because some one pointed out that there was a major OOC problem (thanks once again to them!). So pretty please at least re-read chapter 2, Just thought you'd outta know :p)
Percy Jackson was really regretting not asking Chiron who exactly he was looking for.
Of course, Percy had tried to ask Chiron but all he got out of him was the usual 'I'm sorry Percy, but you will have to figure that out by yourself. You will know who they are when the time is right'.
He had been wondering the streets for hours, looking for any signs that might lead him to this mysterious new demigod. But the closest thing he found was a satyr running passed him, screaming.
"I'm going to be late! I can't be late again!"
The time was nearly 4 o'clock and Percy was completely ready to call it a day and find a nice motel to sleep in, and assume his search in the morning. That is until he saw the girl with the curly hair.
He had been walking down a busy street, coffee in one hand and his other in his pocket, when he spotted a girl with headphones in ears and hands in pockets walking home from school, she was looking at the ground and her back was slouched over, trying to carry her obviously heavy bag. She didn't look that special, but Percy could feel something.
It was almost like she had this aura about her, not particularly strong or bright, but it was definitely there.
But that's wasn't what caught Percy's attention. It was the fact the it was almost like she had two auras around, and they were mixed together. It looked like when you stir food colouring into icing, the two substances mixed together bit they still remained separate, just intertwined into each other. That's what her aura looked like. But what made it even weirder was that Percy couldn't usually see people's auras. Why could he see this girls?
That was what made her special.
Still curious, Percy crossed the road and quickly ducked down the first street that he saw. While keeping close to the wall he tried to poke his head out to get another look at the girl, but as soon as he did so the girl looked up and noticed that he was looking at her, her eyebrows knitted together as if to say 'what the hell are you doing?'.
Once Percy realised that the girl had spotted him, he may or may not have freaked out a little bit.
Retracting his head and trying to plaster himself into the wall he muttered "Styx" before promptly falling backwards over the fence, and dropping his coffee on the ground.
Muttering under his breath, Percy stood up brushing twigs of his jeans. He stretched his back out before carefully manoeuvring his way through the garden to the front gate of the house he had fallen into.
Once reaching the street again, he quickly put his now empty coffee cup into a bin before he quickly ran to the other side of the road. Still making sure that the girl was still in his sight, he tried to look casual by sticking his hands in his pockets, but it wasn't working. Percy could not look more suspicious. He still had a few twigs and leaves in his hair and on the back of his t-shirt, and although he was mainly using his peripheral vision to see the curly haired girl, it was still extremely obvious that he was looking at her.
He continued down the road for a bit watching the girl absentmindedly sing along to the song she was listening to, but things started to go wrong when she looked up, and saw Percy looking at her from across the road.
This time she didn't looked as confused, but rather she looked a bit angry. She looked across the road, hoisted up her bag and ran across the road, right towards where Percy was standing.
His eyes widened and he took his hands out of his pocket and run down the road repeatedly muttering 'oh gods, oh gods' as he ran.
Percy didn't stop running until he was at a nearby park. It seemed as though he had lost the girl, but he still had no leads on whether or not she was the one he was looking for, perhaps she was just special. Maybe her weird aura was because she was like half German, half American, or something weird like that. She hadn't done anything impressive or 'demigodish' and she didn't look like she was afraid that a monster would come pounce on her.
He decided that he would go find somewhere to sleep and he started to walk towards the trees. That was until he got a surprise visit from Hermes.
As he walked he sensed a bright light coming from behind him, and once it died down he turned around to see Hermes jogging up to him. Clearly out of breath
"Ah, Percy, finally. I've been looking for you for ages" he panted. Leaning over, placing his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.
"Hermes, why are you out of breath? You just flashed here, you didn't have o run anywhere"
"I know, I know. But I didn't know where you where so this is like the tenth time I've had to teleport. And boy, let me tell you, it is not as easy as it looks"
"I'm sure it is super hard, much harder than having to run and walk everywhere like normal people do" Percy was getting a bit frustrated, he just wanted to sleep and he had a quest to do. The last thing he needed was Hermes coming to tell him that some village in whoop whoop needed his help to save the rare aquatic sea giraffe, or something stupid like that. "What do you need Hermes?"
"Oh, yeah. Zeus has summoned you" Hermes smiled, offering for Percy to take his hand.
"Great, I'm really in the mood for Zeus and Athena to argue my death"
"C'mon Perce, it's not as bad as you think it is. Trust me"
Percy smiled, taking Hermes hand. "Hermes, you're the God of thieves, I would never trust you"
"That is a very wise choice indeed" Hermes laughed as they were both enveloped in a golden light
(This is a continuation of Hannah's dream)
In Hannah's rage she felt her body start to lift off the ground as a small hurricane started to form around her feat, she let out a scream of pure anger, and she could see the monsters around her retreat in fear. She thrust her arms out with such force her whole body shook, and all the water that was in the river exploded around her and with the force of a tsunami the wave she had created crashed down into the monster army that was making its way towards where the two kids had fallen.
As Hannah felt her body lower down towards the ground she looked down to where the army of monsters used to be. Now, although it was rid of monsters, the woods looked even more dead. The few trees that survived the wave had wilted and were threatened to collapse. The ground was nothing more than a sludgy mess, with puddles littered across the muddy surface.
Hannah should've felt relieved. She had just defeated all the monsters. The battle was over. But her instincts were telling her otherwise, the sacrifice that had just occurred had to mean something. Hannah knew that they weren't done yet.
She turned around and started to jog towards the two kids that had fallen in the battle, there was a small crowd of about 15 surrounding them. A girl with choppy brown hair had the young girls head in her lap, stroking her hair with tears falling down her cheeks and landing on the younger girls armour.
As Hannah ran up to the group she felt her self start to get dizzy, she must be running on pure adrenaline by now. She forced herself to keep going. Hannah had this urge to go comfort the group of teens. Hannah had never met these people in her life yet she felt an incredible urge to protect them and seeing the two teens like that made Hannah's blood boil.
When the group noticed Hannah coming towards them, they all turned towards her. Their faces were so crestfallen it made Hannah want to just collapse and cry, and judging by there faces they all looked like they might join Hannah's waterworks if she broke down too. One girl looked at Hannah and the smallest smile escaped her lips, but there was no happiness in it. The smile looked like it was just there for re assurance. Assurance that they weren't dead yet, and they weren't going to allow the all the deaths to be for nothing.
Hannah slowly made her way towards the girl she recognised as the girl with dagger. Hannah felt the need to be next to her. She just wanted to hug her and tell it was going to be alright, but honestly, hannah didn't know if she could even convince her self that she wasn't going to die.
Hannah felt confused. She didn't understand why she was feeling like this. She didn't even know these people. This a just a dreams for god sake! Why Hannah felt like she had to reassure herself that she wasn't going to die was beyond her, you can't even die in a dream! Can you?
'No snap out of it!' She mentally slapped herself. She felt herself hug the blonde girl, but Hannah paid no attention to what her body was doing. She was to lost. Hannah had never felt so useless in her life. She felt like she was trapped. If this really was a dream how come everything felt so real? Why could she feel all the pain?
Hannah was snapped out of her thoughts as the ground started to shake. At first Hannah would have thought it was a. Earthquake but after all that had just happened Hannah knew better.
"GAEA YOU BITCH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Hannah wasn't sure who yelled it out but judging from all the murderous looks that the entire group had adopted, it could've been anyone of them.
Hannah held onto the blonde haired girl for support as the ground started to shake harder, causing people to fall over. The remaining trees had already crumpled, and the river bed looked as though someone had tried to uproot it.
"PIPER, MOVE!"
A blonde boy ran forward and plucked up the girl who was cradling her friend just as the ground beneath the two teens crumpled and they fell into the abyss.
"Noooooo!" The girl, Piper, screamed, her voice feeble and weak as she fought against the blonde haired boy's arms. She desperately tried to claw her way out of his grip and run to where her friends had just fallen. But her attempts were pointless. The hole was already closing up, and was being replaced by a large ball completely made of vines. The vines where rapidly growing from small little green vines to massive thick thorns.
As the ball expanded, Hannah could see it gradually start to get brighter and brighter, until it was practically blinding to look at. Hannah, as well as the rest of the group,
had to turn around and shield their eyes to prevent themselves from burning up, from the sheer heat that the ball was emitting.
Once the the light died down, Hannah turned around to see a stunningly gorgeous women in her early 30's. She had brown hair that looked as if it was made from the richest soils. She had a perfect figure and the ground around her looked as if it was trying to wrap itself around her in desperation to be with her. She wore a green dress,that looked as though it was made of leaves, and the dress was trimmed with what looked like moss. But the most stunning part about her was her eyes. They were ridiculously green that if you stared into them long enough you would think that you were in a jungle. Her eyes would have been beautiful if it was not for the evil glint in them that was perfectly matched by a malicious grin.
"Ah, demigods. It looks like its time for you all to die"
Her voice, in no way matched her appearance. It was husky and almost sounded like two rocks we rubbing against each other.
The blonde haired boy let go of his struggling friend and walked I front of the women defiantly.
"No. If anyone is going to die it's going to be you Gaea"
Gaea laughed. The sounds was like an earthquake.
"Foolish boy, you cannot kill me. I am immortal!"
A new kid stepped forward, he was scrawny but he had a look of determination on his grease stained face.
"That's what you think lady. You clearly haven't meet the super sized McShizzle" the flashed a grin at Gaea, which she clearly didn't appreciate.
"Son of Hephaestus, I think it's time for you to join your mother" Gaea's eyes flashed gold for a second before roots burst through the ground and started to grab the boys legs.
"Oh no you don't!"
The boy clenched his fists and his entire body lit on fire burning away the roots. Gaea winced as if she felt the pain of the burning roots.
"Fine if I can't hurt you, I'll take her" Gaea pointed over towards Piper, who was now standing after her escape from the blonde haired boys arms. Gaea grinned and snarled towards the girl. The ground instantly turned into slush. The girl started to sink as Gaea once again started to laugh.
Piper struggled against the ground, but the more she moved the faster she started to sink. The blonde haired boy tried to get to her but his feet were stuck to the ground. He couldn't move.
In desperation the girl screamed.
"STOP"
Hannah wasn't even doing anything yet she felt as though she wanted to drop her sword and sit on the ground.
"Foolish girl, your silly charm speak cannot affect me! I am stronger than you could even imagine, and thanks to your power that you are about to give me, I will become even stronger!"
By know Piper has sunk so far that the mud was touching her shoulders and threatening to completely cover her.
"I'm not giving you anything" Piper snarled.
"Oh but Piper, you already have, and for that I will be eternally grateful"
Pipers eyes widened as she resized how close she was to going under completely. She swivelled her head to look at the blonde haired boy, and just as the ground claimed her she said "I'll always love you Jason grace." But with that she went under and the ground became solid once again
Jason screamed and cried, desperately trying to claw his way through the ground to get to her.
"PIPER! No, don't leave leave me! Pipes, your said you wouldn't leave!"His mourning quickly turned ion anger as he turned to face the beautiful women.
That's it! GAEA NOW YOU DIE!" Jason stood, a new demeanour surrounding him.
Hannah could practically feel the anger radiating off of him. His eyes were literally crackling with electricity, and Hannah could see storm clouds start to gather above. The air became denser as the clouds above roared with thunder. Jason stalked towards Gaea as he took a coin out of his pocket and flipped it. It immediate transformed into a golden sword, Jason pointed it to the sky and an arc of electricity hit the sword and with a deafening CRACK Jason pointed the sword towards Gaea and let loose a bolt of lightning.
Gaea stumbled backwards, the bolt had down no serious damage but it has seriously shocked the lady. The few burns that she had received were already healing.
"You fool. Your petty lighting show cannot harm me! I'm a Primordial the strongest beings that have ever walked on this planet!". Hannah had no idea what a primordial even was, but it didn't sound good. "Now, Jason Grace, it's time for you to be reunited with your beloved Piper"
With a flick of her wrist a boulder the size of a car flew towards Jason. He stood his ground and tried to duck out of its way at the last second, but it was to late. The boulder crashed into the ground leaving a crater in its wake. Hannah expected Jason to crawl out from underneath and continue fighting but the blonde haired boy didn't resurface.
The silence was broken by Gaea laughing, yet again.
"Who's next to die."
The teens exchanged glances, and as if some sort of agreement had taken place, the entire gang of teenagers took a step forwards. Hannah felt her body take one extra step in front of the rest of the crew.
"No one else is going to die Gaea. It's our turn to kill you"
Hannah was shocked to say the least. That was definitely her speaking, but in no way was that her voice. This voice was much deeper and more manly. The voice was so full of determination that it scared Hannah, she could never muster up that much bravery.
"Ah, Perseus Jackson. I've Been looking forward to meeting you. You're spoken of quite a lot. I'm sure many of my monsters would love to tear you apart, Polybetes himself even wants the pleasure of killing the famous Percy Jackson. But alas, I'm going to have joy of watching you take your last breath."
If it were possible Hannah was even more confused. She had just been called Percy Jackson. That was not her name, not even close. Hannah Parks was nothing near Percy Jackson, one time her fourth grade teacher had called henrietta pacman for an entire year. But you couldn't possible get Percy from Hannah.
Hannah felt herself draw her sword, "I don't think you understand Gaea, there is no way that we are going to loose. I'm surrounded by friends and family. I'm not alone".
The people behind Hannah nodded in agreement, Hannah could her them starting to take out there weapons again. An assortment of spears, swords, shields and arrows. Hannah could also sense the crowd behind her growing, instead of only 15 teenagers behind her, there was now at least a hundred people forming ranks behind her. But what shocked Hannah was that there was more monsters behind her. There was some fairly normal looking kids, holding what looked like crudely made baseball bats and had pan pipes around there neck, they would have passed as normal except for the fact there they had goat legs and some even had horns growing on there heads. There were also hybrids of horses and men (that looked as if they were in the middle of a party rather than a battle), then the were the giants with only one eye. They would have looked terrifying if it weren't for the fact that most of them had peanut butter sandwiches stuffed at awkward angles into the crevices of their battle armours.
"Little sea spawn, you will always be alone" her eyes eyes glittered evilly.
"I'll never be alone, not when I have so many friends, and these friends of mine are going to destroy you, Gaea"
The crowd behind Hannah roared in approval. Spears and shields knocked together creating a noise similar to a stampede only a thousand times louder. The army started to chant, so loudly Hannah thought her eardrums would explode. God knows what they were actually saying, but Hannah could swear that she heard some one scream 'Peanut Butter!' Under the mess of chants. The army was so out of control and chaotic that Hannah wasn't sure how they would be able to fight let alone win, but that didn't matter the pure determination that was harboured in every single one those peoples eyes gave Hannah the shivers. She trusted them fully.
"Silly child, they cannot defeat me, nor will they be able to defend you. They have their own problem to worry about."
Hannah didn't understand what she meant. She had destroyed all the monsters. They were all gone. Weren't they?
As if on que, the ground opened up behind Gaea, and an entire army of what looked like mud figurines were rising out the pit. The army behind her readied themselves, they were taking on their positions, and Reyna was standing in front of the only group who looked like they had been training for this their entire lives. She was screaming out commands, none of which Hannah understood. But what amazed Hannah was that one boy, who stood front and centre, standing amongst his army was holding a large golden pole that had an eagle on it.
The boy didn't look impressive, in fact he looked as though someone had died his mouth red, not from blood though, it looked like it was from food colouring. But the boy held this pole with such pride you would have thought it was his child. Reyna screamed "Twelve Legion Fulminata!" And the entire group screamed with approval as the eagle was struck with lightning.
"I'm sure that your little friends will put up a good fight, but there is nothing they can do. I will defeat you and the rest of your little demigod friends and become so powerful, that the whole world will have no choice but to bow down to me."
"I think you need to get of your high horse, because your going down dirt face" the scrawny boy called forward. He had somehow managed to grab hold of a hand held chainsaw, and was in the process of revving it up.
"Perseus Jackson prepare to watch your friends die"
Gaea raised her hands and the teens around Hannah were pushed back as a circular platform started to raise out of the ground, carrying Hannah and Gaea with it. The blonde hair girl was calling out for her to be careful, hannah turned around and looked over the edge of the platform, which was now 20 feet above the ground, and called out.
"Don't worry Annabeth, Gaea won't know what hit her" she smiled down at her.
"Don't you dare die seaweed brain. I will kill you if you do"
"I love you too, wise girl"
The battle between Hannah and Gaea had been going on for nearly 20 minutes now and both Hannah and Gaea were starting to tire, their shots becoming slower, and their dodges becoming less effective. Hannah didn't even know how she had survived for this long. She was almost certain that she would have died a long time ago if it wasn't for the fact that Gaea was putting in a lot of effort into controlling her dirt monster army. It was purely a sword to sword battle between Hannah and Gaea.
Although Gaea's sword was considerably longer than hers, it didn't seem to matter. Hannah was able to use the sword effortlessly, it was like it was an extension of her own arm, she parried and was able to counter strike every blow that Gaea had thrown at her.
Neither of them sustained any serious injury, and neither or them, surprisingly, had fallen of the edge of the platform (although it nearly happened a few times). Hannah had no idea what was happening below them, she never had a spare second to take even a glimpse, but she assumed they were still battling away just as Gaea and she were. There battle continued, with the two swords slashing at each other. Hannah was just about to gain the upper hand for the first time in the battle, Hannah had found the opportunity to disarm Gaea, and Hannah was about to kill her, when she heard a scream. It was a loud and qscarily familiar cry of pain.
Completely forgetting about Gaea, Hannah turned around and ran to the edge of the platform. She could see a black haired boy lying on the ground, holding a dagger that had been embedded in his thigh. The boy did not look good at all, he was ridiculously pale, with dark circles under his eyes. He literally looked like death. There was a boy with goat legs kneeling next to him trying to calm him down while a giant with one eye was defending them with a giant baseball bat.
"GROVER! GET NICO TO WILL!"
Grover looked up, slightly perplexed about were the voice was coming from, but when he saw that it was coming from Percy/Hannah his eyes widened. Hannah didn't understand why, but before she gave it to much thought, she felt Gaea jump on top of her. Her sword slipped out of her grasp and fell off the side of the platform as she was flipped over onto her back. The sheer pressure that Gaea threw her down with made her groan in pain. She was on the ground now, with her head dangling dangerously over the edge.
Gaea was on top of her, she had her hands wrapped around Hannah's neck, and was threatening to strangle her. Gaea laughed maliciously.
"Percy, Percy, Percy, you didn't really think that you could beat me did you? Bit pathetic that the hero of Olympus is defeated by little old me, and I'm not even in my true form! Now I get to kill you, and you know what? I'm going to let all your little friends watch."
As Gaea spoke, Hannah could feel the mud warriors collapse into piles of motionless mud. You could feel the confusion radiating off everybody as they wondered why the warriors had stopped. Some of them even cried out little yelps as they realised what was happening up above them.
"Little demigods and puny monsters, you have all failed. I've got your little leader now, and I'm going to kill him." She paused, and grinned at every one, almost like she expecting them to cheer for her. "The world is mine once again, and you will all bow down to me! If you refuse you and all your little demigod friends will find themselves in Tartarus"
Anger flared inside of Hannah, she couldn't let that happen. Hannah tried to search for water but she couldn't find any near enough, so she went for the next best option, she winged it.
As Gaea was still looking up towards the crowd, Hannah grabbed Gaea's face and twisted it to the side, forcing Gaea over onto her back. Gaea's sword flying out of her hand and over the edge. Hannah took that advantage and jumped onto Gaea holding her down by her wrists. Quickly Hannah retracted her hand and brought the flat of her palm down on to Gaea's face, most likely breaking her nose.
"You can't beat me Perseus Jackson, you're to weak. I'm going to kill all your friends and family, and then I'm going to storm Olympus and destroy the gods one at a time, starting with your puny father." She snarled.
Hannah glared at her, but Gaea still had the audacity to laugh.
"You know what else? I'm going to give you front row tickets of the destruction of your little world. You can watch it all, and not be able to do a thing." Gaea laughed while kicking Hannah off, as she flew she felt her anger reach the boiling point.
That was it. Hannah could feel her self searching for water that wasn't there, until her stomach nearly exploded and water seemingly appeared from no where. It swirled around Hannah before bombarding straight into Gaea's face. Hannah quickly jumped of her as the water started to wrap around her and lift her up into the air. The water formed into a sphere, trapping Gaea in the middle of it. The water was constantly moving not allowing Gaea to breath, and Hannah could feel Gaea start weaken as the platform started to lower back down to the ground.
By the time Hannah had reached the ground, she was on her knees from all the effort it took. She didn't know how much longer she could on. She had black dots dancing around her vision, threatening her with unconsciousness.
"Yay! Big brother still has head! It is good when you have a head"
Hannah could feel the giant lumbering towards her, but she was to exhausted to say anything in return.
"Yo, kelp head, don't think you get to have all the glory of Killing dirt face! I'm going to help you."
"What are you going to do exactly" Hannah could barely say.
"I'm going to do what I do best, I'm gonna zap her!"
"Pinecone face, that'll kill you. You don't have that much strength, she's to strong to just be electrocuted"
Reyna walked forward and put her hand on Thalia's shoulder.
"You really are a seaweed brain. I'm a daughter of Bellona, I can give Thalia my strength. With that amount of power we can make that bitch explode!"
Hannah's eyes widened.
"No. If you do that you'll both die! There has to be another way!
"Unless you can think of anything, I think it's the best we've got. Kelp head, even you can't keep her like that for much longer"
Hannah wanted to cry. She didn't even know these people but she was so touched that they were willing to give there life, to save others. Hannah looked up at them.
"You two are so stupid"
"I love you too kelp head"
They managed a small smile and looked up out to the rest of the army.
"I better see all of you guys in Elysium" Thalia said pointing to all of them a small smirk on her face.
Thalia and Reyna walked up towards where Gaea was being held. Reyna took hold of Thalia's arm, took a deep breath and closed her eyes as Thalia reached into her quiver and grabbed and arrow, she notched it into her bow, and yelled.
"FOR OLYMPUS!"
As she did so a huge lightning bolt arced across the sky and hit the arrow. Thalia let the arrow loose, and as Hannah lost control of the water, the explosion happened.
The explosion shook the ground, everything went white for a second as she flew back. She could her people screaming around her as she flew backwards.
She heard someone scream "PERCY!" before she hit the ground and her vision tunnelled.
Hannah woke in cold sweat. She sat up, and before she could think about anything she screamed.
Her parents and ran in and were trying to get her to calm down but Hannah was in hysterics, crying and screaming her lungs out. She screamed until her voice was sore, and she couldn't possibly scream anymore.
Thor wished it was he who got to confront Perseus Jackson.
The boy intrigued him, and Thor wanted to know why it was so.
Thor had seen the boy before, but he couldn't put his finger on where he had seen him. But Thor was determined to find out who he was.
AN-
This chapter was so hard to write. Idek if it makes sense, cause it was so hard trying to write the war from Hannah's perspective. Like the amount of times I wrote Percy and had to delete it was ridiculous.
Please leave reviews with any suggestions or Critics, I love to get reviews from you guys.
But anyways, I hope you enjoyed it and hopefully it won't take too long to get the next chapter up!
Thanks to all the people who reviewed! I really appreciate and I take all of your suggestions into consideration!
Alexis- I don't like writing them either but sadly it has to be done.
yeah- that is the plan! I hope I can make it to your liking!
Guest- I'm planning for it to be next chapter! I'm going to make it as badass as possible!
Love Da Mermaid- IKR I ship Frazel as well and it broke my heart to write it! But what has to be done, has to be done.
*gives you all virtual hugs*
Bye my little pancakes
