Hey guys! Wow! Happy New year! I am so sorry again that I haven't been updating. Like I said in the last chapter I'm very busy with school and other things that I haven't had much time to write. I did promise however that I would try to update as much as possible so here's another one. Even though it's short as hell. I am currently writing chapter 6 so stand by for that one. I swear it will be better and longer than this one.
I really wanted a fighting scene and I wanted to the team to see what the two Heroes of Olympus can do, so who better to fight the young demigods and some monsters from their past.
I love you guys so much and please remember to favorite and follow! You guys are incredible and please keep reading.
Disclaimer: Still don't own anything.
(Percy's POV)
"Hey, Kelli! Missed me?" I shouted at the Empousa. That got everyone's attention. The monsters ripped her head away from the teenagers she was fighting.
"Jackson!" She hissed.
"Percy get out of here! You're gonna get hurt!" Robin yelled towards me. Unfortunately, because he turned to look at me, he didn't notice the giant claw coming around to claw his back out. "AH!"
"Robin!" Wally yelled running just in time to catch his friend, leaving Artemis to fend for herself.
"Guys get behind me!" I commanded.
"But!" Kalur started to protest.
"NOW!" I said in my most threatening tone. They all nodded. Connor grabbed M'gann from the floor, along with Zatanna. All the others ran past me as I walked towards my old enemy. "Don't you ever get tired of this?" I swung my sword in my hands, not trying to hide my laid-back tone of voice.
"How was your trip to Tartarus Jackson?" She snarled at me. I stopped in my tracks, my face paling. "Mmm… that got your attention." I shook my head. I wasn't going to let myself go there.
"Nice try Kelli. But not gonna work." I said holding my ground. She snarled at me, glaring her dark black eyes.
"You are the biggest pain in the universe Jackson!"
"You know… you are not the first to say that." She growled, getting more and more frustrated with me. I smirked.
"I hate you!"
"Join the club." She screamed in anger.
"YOU SHALL FEEL PAIN!"
"I do, looking at that horrid face of yours. I mean yikes, ever heard of a mirror?" I cringed. Not hiding my amusement in the situation. Annabeth and I have used this tactic on many different monsters. I distract them till their at the point of wanting to rip my legs from my torso, and then Annabeth comes behind and takes them out.
"DIE JACKSON!" She leaped at me, I simply sidestepped and twirled my sword in my hand.
"Please dear. Let's be a lady and leave the way you came." Then a thought hit me. "Wait, how did you get here?"
She growled. "Stop talking and let me kill you!"
"How about I cut you a deal?" I smiled. "You tell me how you got here and I'll drop my sword."
"PERCY ARE YOU INSANE?" I heard Wally say behind me. I rolled my eyes.
"We both know this fight is unfair. Let me make it easier for you Kelli." I winked. If it were possible for Kelli's face to turn red when she was mad I'd say her face was pretty much redder than Rudolph's nose.
"A portal!" She shouted. I nodded.
"Alright," I said calmly. I took a quick glance behind me, nodding at a certain magician. When I looked back at Kelli, I dropped my sword kicking it to the other side of the room.
"Percy!" I heard a female voice call, (not sure which female it was but it was someone from the team.) "Don't be an idiot!"
"Meh, too late." I joked.
"Agreed, you are a dimwit demigod!" Kelli smiled, barring her sharp claws. In one motion she grabbed my collar and pressed her sharp claw against my throat. I smiled, seeing someone pick Riptide up behind Kelli. "Who are you smiling at demigod?" She snarled.
"Oh nobody." (AN: HAHA! GET IT, NOBODY?)
"Prepare to–ah!" Kelli soon dropped me, clutching her side in pain. I watched as Annabeth became visible. She smiled at me and then turned her attention back to the Empousa in the room.
Kelli wailed. "YOU SHALL PAY DAUGHTER OF ATHENA!"
"If I had a dollar for every time I heard that I'd be a millionaire." Annabeth quickly threw me my sword (which I caught of course) "But please, you're welcome to try." She gripped her knife and got into a fighting stance.
"URG!" Kelli complained.
She dodged Kelli's swing and locked eyes with me. "I got this" She winked. I chuckled and capped Riptide standing back next to the team; watching my girlfriend move.
"Your girlfriend's a badass," Connor said, his eyes following Annabeth.
"Ha yeah, I know." I agreed. Smiling as I stared at the team's amazing looks at my Wise Girl. Then I heard a sound I hate hearing. Annabeth's scream
"Ah!" Annabeth's short shriek rang in my ears. I turned my head to see blood dripping down my girlfriend's shoulder.
"If I'm not mistaken," Kelli chuckled, though she was out of breath. "That's the same spot you were stabbed when Luke was around." Both Annabeth and I screamed with rage. "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you have a soft spot for that traitor." Now, rather than being amused, I only saw red. I ripped Riptide out and uncapped it. I clutched my trusty sword so tight my knuckles turned white. I felt a jump in my stomach and soon gallons of water rushed into the room circling Annabeth, Kelli, and I. I heard shouts from the team telling me to let them in, but this was between the three of us. I slowly walked towards Kelli, Annabeth joining me on my right; her sword now in her good hand. Kelli's face wiped of all amusement was now replaced with fear.
"You crossed a line!" Annabeth said, hate lining all her words.
"You are going to pay for that!" I finished. Annabeth and I sprang into action.
(No one's POV)
From outside the wall of water, the team desperately tried to break into the circle. The team has never killed anyone before, and they were determined not to let Percy and Annabeth kill that thing, even if she was a monster. But little did the team know, it was too late. As the water circling their two new friends slowed, a loud screech echoed through the halls of Mount Justice. The water finally died down, leaving Percy, Annabeth and a large pile of gold dust standing in the middle of the room. The team stood frozen, staring at the two teens in the room, both out of breath. Scarlet liquid dripped from both their bodies. Artemis was the first to regain her composure. She stalked towards Percy, in one swift motion she punched him in the face and grabbed his collar. The team right behind her.
"What did you do?" She bellowed.
"Hey!" Annabeth, through her arm, was bleeding like crazy, tried to rip Artemis away from her boyfriend. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I don't know what you guys do on your earth, but here we do not kill our enemies," Robin yelled. Percy and Annabeth just looked like each other.
"Why are you just looking at each other? You freaking killed someone!" Wally screamed!
"You didn't tell them?" Annabeth asked, swaying a little.
"Guess I left that out." Percy rubbed his neck.
"Left what out?" Artemis questioned?
"Monsters regenerate." Percy shrugged. He gripped Annabeth's good arm and pulled her towards the rooms, leaving the team to stare at each other in confusion.
