When I woke up, I quickly got dressed because I knew that today we were going to rescue Grover so I hurried. When I was dressed, I picked my up bag and I checked to see if I had everything that I needed for the quest. Knowing that I had everything that I needed, I grabbed Riptide off of my nightstand, put it in my pocket and headed out to meet the others so that we could get started with our quest. When I got to the beach, I found all of the others that were to join on the quest and when I got to them, Clarisse shouted at me, "about time you got here Jackson."
"I was checking to see if I had everything that I needed Clarisse," I responded.
"Enough Clarisse, now Percy, where is the transportation that your father is sending for us?"Thalia asked.
"I sense that their on their way,"I replied.
"Well, they'd better get here soon,"Silena said.
Than all of a sudden, six hippocampuses surfaced and came up to me. "We are here my lord, ready to take you to save your friend,"one of the hippocampuses said.
"We really appreciate it,"I said.
"Alright guys, let's get going,"Annabeth said.
Then, we climbed onto the hippocampuses and we jetted off to save Grover. When we were about five minutes away from camp, I started to sense something coming, something that was powerful, something Titan powerful. When I sensed it, I shouted to the others, "looks alive guys, we're about to have some company."
"What do you mean we're about to have some company Percy?"Beckendorf asked.
"I sense that Oceanus is on his way."
"Then we;d better get out of here,"Thalia yelled.
Just as I was about to tell the hippocampuses to pick up the pace, we saw a huge splash appear in front of us and all of a sudden, Oceanus immerged. When he appeared, I yelled, "guys, get somewhere safe while I hold off Oceanus."
"No way Jackson, we're going to fight him together,"Clarisse shouted.
"Listen, I'm not going to argue with you about this, I can fight him a lot easier then any of you can so no arguing about it."
"He's got a point, Percy has an advantage over us so he should do it,"Silena said.
"Alright, now that that's settled, get out of here and let me handle this."
Exactly as I ordered, they left and I jumped off of my hippocampus and when I was in the air, I uncapped Riptide and I went to battle with Oceanus. When Oceanus came at me, he produced a trident and he sent water flying at me but I easily absorbed it but I didn't sent it back at him because I knew that if I did, he'd send it right back at me and I didn't want that. When I absorbed his water attack, he came at me and I went sword on trident with him but Oceanus was able to catch my sword with the head of his trident and my sword dropped and fell to the ocean floor. When he hit my sword out of my hand, Oceanus smiled and said, "it is over for you Perseus Jackson."
Then, Oceanus raised his had and started closing it and all of a sudden, I felt my chest crushing and I felt my every breath leaving me and just as I thought that was done for, a jet of water and a few hundred rocks came flying at Oceanus making him lose his concentration releasing me from his grasps. When I was free from Oceanus grasps, I looked over toward where the jet of water and the rocks came from and found my father swimming toward me with dozens of Cyclopes on hippocampuses. When he got to us, dad yelled at me, "Percy, get out of here, get back to your friends, we ll handle this."
I didn't want to disobey my dad, so I swam back up to the surface, not even going back to get Riptide because I knew that it would return to my pocket in a little bit and when I got to the surface, I jumped on my hippocampus and raced off to find the others and when I found them, I explained what happened and when I was done, we continued our quest to find the Princess Andromeda.
