Hello people, this Spirit Soldier and PhoenixLord42 and welcome to our new chapter. Now, I got to warn you that it'll be shorter than other chapters I've done due to how short this Lightning Thief chapter is. Also, I want to remind you to check on the poll if you haven't done it. I'll probably be reminding you often, if not always until I finish with either this story or Naruto: SFCW. After I done with either one or both, I will do Maelstrom of Cocoon and finish one of the other stories. After that, I will decide which story to do from the poll, depending on my mood and the votes. Now, enjoy.
Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson.
Percy the Fugitive
"Chapter 14: I Become a Known Fugitive…" Reyna reads. The Stolls inwardly cursed. They wanted to become fugitives before anyone else does. They didn't know Percy was already was one.
(I'd love...et cetera.)
"But what did you really say?" Will asked, before remembering that Percy is knocked out. He flinch and kept his mouth shut.
(The truth...Aaaagggghhhh!)
"That's probably be my thought if I was in his position." Leo admitted. "Except I would scream and my limbs would be moving around the place."
"Me too."
"Same."
"Here, here."
That was Nico and the Stolls who agreed with Leo.
(The river...my vision.)
Everyone can hear Percy gasping for breath, so Reyna read faster.
(And then...hadn't hurt.)
Everyone glances eagerly to Percy, but, to their dismay, Percy is still feeling the effect of the poison.
"Styx!" Naruto cursed. "The book probably have to describe himself feeling better." Everyone who likes Percy cursed quietly as well.
(At the...was good.)
Everyone can see the color returning to Percy's face and they all let out a sigh of relief. Slowly, Percy got up and looks around with a confuse expression.
"Um, what did I miss?"
Before he knew it, Annabeth crashed into him and give him a big hug. Then gave him a deep kiss, making him blush madly. After she was done, Rachel and a very OC Reyna hugged him tightly as well and the two of them kisses him on the cheek, causing his whole head to turn red. And lastly, Thalia, Sally, and Hazel merely hugged him tightly, relieve that their brother figure/son is alright.
Naruto went up Percy and kneel beside him "You ok Percy?" Percy look around, very confuse and flushed from the deep kiss and the kiss on the cheeks.
"I'm confused. What happened?" Percy asked Naruto. Naruto quickly explained what happened and Percy was not happy at all. In fact, he look like he's going to pull out riptide and deal with them himself.
"Naruto please deal with the fates when you can." Percy requested, barely controlling his anger. "Before I decide to do something stupid and get myself killed."
"I'll do something Percy. They are going to get an ear full from me for almost breaking their rules of no killing anyone." Naruto told Percy. Naruto wonders if the fates found out that he took the curse away from the baby and decided to take it out on Percy. He will have to see if that's the case.
Everyone got back to their seats, with Reyna and Rachel beside Percy. Percy squirm a little, wondering why the two of them are so close to him. Naruto, Fuu, and Yugito silently laugh, seeing Percy squirm.
(Second realization...perfectly dry.)
"Okay, how many powers does a child of Poseidon have?" Piper asked, amaze at how many abilities they have. "Because it seem they are more powerful, or at least more powers, than a child of Zeus or Hades." When she said that, she covered her mouth. She can already feel the glares from Zeus and Hercules.
"Dad, Hercules, stop glaring at her." Perseus said to the two of them. "She is right. The children of Poseidon have more power than us children of Zeus or a child of Hades. Control water, heal when water is on them, can breathe under it, and more. So don't glare at the poor girl for stating the fact." Zeus and Hercules didn't let him, until they saw Rhea glares at them. Reluctantly, they stop glaring at Piper.
"It's awesome!" Leo cheered, eyes shining. Piper giggle at Leo's typical expression. "Percy is like an endless powerhouse! Each power as good as the other!" Jason scowled. For once, he had to agree with Leo on the matter of Percy Jackson. How come Percy got more powers than he? All he can do is fly and shoot lightning. He feel more and more envious of Percy Jackson.
(I looked...turned dry.)
"Oh, the pranks we can pull with that." The Stolls said, mentally planning to take Percy pranking in the water. Annabeth decide to keep Percy away from the Stolls at all time, to save a couple of people from embarrassment.
(I lit...breathing normally.)
"One of the most bizarre ones ever and of course, it the last Percy recognize." Thalia laughed out. Everyone laugh as well while Percy merely pouted at that.
("Um...Father.")
Poseidon smile at Percy, who smile back. Poseidon would always find a way to protect his favorite children, ones that doesn't end up bad. He is glad Percy is becoming a great hero in the future.
(No response...saved me?)
"Um, because you are his favorite son?" Apollo said, in a 'no duh' tone. "I mean, it kinda obvious since the beginning of the book. He adores you as much as he does Theseus, possibly even more." Theseus himself nodded in agreement. He doesn't resent Percy for it, rather, he is proud that his little brother can get dad to love him so much. From what he heard, many of his brothers tends to be playboy or heartbreakers. Orion was the worse, being a rapist.
Orion scowl, jealous that his little brother manage to get father's attention like that. Why didn't he earn his place as Poseidon's favorite son?
(The more...bottom feeders.)
There was a silence. Those that like Percy staring at him like he said that the sun didn't exist. Even the hunters are bewildered that Percy have such low self esteem. Percy squirms under the stares, wondering why they are looking at him like that.
"What?" Percy asked, finally breaking from the stares. They continued till a few of them shook their head.
"Percy, you have the lowest esteem than anyone in here." Hazel said, speaking for everyone. "You are a great hero. You went through a lot of things most Romans wouldn't survive."
"My sister's right Perce." Nico spoke up. "You faced all three furies, the minotaur, five experienced and pissed off Ares demigods, and Medusa in the span of one week. Not to mention you faced the Chimera and lived. Most people died from that." Percy squirm, still not used to the attention and the praise..
"But what about the civilians?" Percy argued. "If it wasn't for the fact that most monsters ignored mortals, they would've been dead." He don't see why was he a hero, since others died protecting their friends and families while he still lives. But his friends were having none of it.
"You protected them all you can Percy, and you were unprepared for the fight." Rachel argued. "You responded better than most and your first thought was to protect the others around. Most demigods would think about finding a way out or a way to kill out."
"Overall, just a take a compliment seaweed brain." Annabeth said, the other demigods that like Percy just nodded their heads and Percy looked like a tomato But he smile, glad that his believe in him that much, even though he don't most of the time. He will still remember those that died because of him. And one of those people is in the room right now,
Poseidon smile, glad that that his friends are looking out for him and supporting him. His son look like he will need it in the future, with the prophecy coming to life. And it looks like Percy will be the prophecy child, whether he likes it or not.
Sally is smiling as well, glad that Percy have so many friends supporting him. There are times that she wish Percy didn't had to go to camp and put himself in danger, but she is glad he got so many people supporting and protecting him and vice versa.
Jason feels envious of Percy. He can feel the admiration the people have for Percy. He felt that he took everything, his praetorship, his place at the top, and his friends. Even he manage to make Reyna smile, which is a miracle of it's own. He finally admits to himself that he is jealous of Percy Jackson. But he still felt that he is better than Percy, since he took out the Titan Krios.
Theseus and Perseus felt proud for their brother/cousin. He got many people with and that will fight with him till the end. They doubt that they can gather that many demigods with them. And they know for sure that Orion nor Hercules couldn't do it. They can already see that Percy will become a powerful and influential demigod.
The hunters are very surprise that a male is capable of that much low self esteem, especially Zoe. They always thought that no man would even think low of themselves, but they were proven wrong more and more time. His accomplishments was big, especially for his age and his amount of training in the first book, yet he don't recognize them as accomplishments. They are liking the boy slowly, but surely.
Naruto shook his head, in disbelief that someone have that much low esteem. That is where they are different. When he Percy age, he didn't lack in self esteem at all. He was full of confidence and spirit. He want to show everyone that their opinion of him was wrong, even if it was pointless. He should get Percy training soon, after the first book is done. It would fun to see how the boy would do.
Fuu and Yugito were looking at Percy with smiles because he reminds them of their husband when they were mortal.
Well not everyone was not very happy about this and it was Zeus he was thinking about how Percy was too dangerous to let live, because he thinks he will turn traitor while Rhea was proud of her grandson at what he has done. And didn't even gain a single grain of arrogance in his bone.
(Fump-Fump...the mud.)
"Why didn't it return to your pocket?" Hermes asked. Percy shrugged, not knowing the answer to that. It was the longest riptide was away from him.
(I heard...said, "Mom?")
Almost everyone winced at that, especially Sally and Poseidon himself. Why on earth did he send someone that resembled too much like Percy's mother?
(No, child...Santa Montica)
"Why?" Most of the people asked. Percy responded by doing the zipping motion on his lip, causing some grumbles from the group.
(Please, Percy...my presence.)
"It's probably too foul for anyone presence." Percy said, remembering the smell. He was surprise that he could smell in the ocean, but he could breath in it, so why not? "Dad, you should get those rivers cleaned up. Especially for the sea creatures in there." Poseidon nodded in agreement. His people has suffered enough in that muck.
Naruto looked toward Poseidon and asked "Would you like some help with it?" Poseidon was surprise at the offer, but nodded.
"I would like that Naruto thank you, but why?" Poseidon asked. He doubt he did anything to earn the help.
"Well, I am the Primordial god of the elements." Naruto stated snapping his fingers and the elements started to swirl around him, Artemis, and Hestia. "Plus one of my wives is the Primordial goddess of Nature she agrees that humans have been destroying nature for a while and she agrees that Nature needs to be cleaned, like back when we were mortal. Nature was everywhere and it was protected." Stated Naruto shocking everyone that he and his wives grew up around so much nature. Grover, the hunters, and Demeter felt like exploding in excitement, wanting to explore that timeline. It seem to good to be true.
"I will show you our memories of our mortal lives later but the Forest of Death is still alive and well with everything still living there. Though there were forgers for weapons and books on our history and architect for the villages and i will give you the books later Athena and the weapons for you Hephaestus." Naruto said to them and some had very excited and curious about seeing all that nature while others was a little nervous at the title, the forest of death. At first, Hephaestus and Athena weren't really excited, but after they heard about weapons and books, they lit up like a christmas tree. Which is weird, since the two are usually stoic, more so Hephaestus.
"Hephaestus when show you the weapons they are not to be made am i understand." Naruto said to Hephaestus who begrudgingly nodded. Meanwhile, most of the people are grinning in excitement, especially the plant lovers. Anything from Naruto's past was bound to be amazing.
("But…"...the gifts…)
Annabeth's eyes widen, along with Grover and Percy. So that's what the spirit was talking about. The gifts Ares sented them. Grover's head drooped, probably blaming himself for stopping Percy from throwing the gifts.
(Her voice...her again.)
Again, everyone winced at that. That is a really depressing thought.
(I felt...to drowning.)
Everyone that cares for Percy frowns at that. They are all wondering if Percy's suicidal. They have a right to be worried, seeing that he likes to anger people or monsters that are more powerful than him and also have very low-esteem, even though he's getting better.
(She'd also...the catfish.)
"You really think that she was talking to the catfish?" Thalia asked incredulously, causing Percy to rub his head sheepishly.
(I waded...nice, dear.")
"Are mortals that oblivious?" Apollo asked incredulously. "I mean, come on. That should've get your attention."
"Be lucky that it doesn't." Athena pointed out. "Otherwise, we'll have a lot of problems hiding things from the mortals." Athena got a point at that.
"To true." Yugito agreed with Athena with a kitten in her lap.
(A news...were okay.)
"Mostly Annabeth right?" Aphrodite asked slyly, making the two blush. She giggle and cuddle with the baby Percy, making it laugh. "You're going to be a heartbreaker when you grow up." She cooed to the baby while it babbled.
'He already is.' Rachel and Reyna thought in their head. Then they heard something in their heads saying 'Don't think that talk to Percy and Annabeth and i will be with you when you do' They nearly jumped out of there and looked around until they saw Naruto looking at them with a face of understanding.
(I tried...confirmed fatalities…")
"Great, they're calling him a terrorist now." Thalia grumbled, glaring at the book. "Who is coming up with these stories and where can I go to kill him/her?"
"Gabe." The golden trio responded simultaneously. Thalia glowered. Of course it was that guy.
(I backed...hard way!")
"No, that would be the easy way." Hades corrected. "The hard way is sneaking in." Percy, Grover, and Annabeth can definitely agree to that.
(Annabeth stood…see me.)
"I was." Annabeth admitted, looking down with a blush on her cheek. "I blamed myself for leaving you alone after we heard the explosion." Percy merely squeeze her shoulders, making her sigh. She knew that Percy is silently telling her that it was not her fault.
("We can't...of fell.")
"Sort of fell?" Piper asked, in a 'really' tone. "You did fell Perce. It's one or the other."
("Percy! Six...thirty feet?")
Thalia paled. She wonder how Percy didn't freak out during that fall. She certainly would, very badly.
(Behind us...the boy!")
"You better run Percy." the Stolls said, grinning at this. Percy is so lucky. getting himself on the news. They've been aiming for that ever since their first prank.
("What's going...lady's message.)
"You kinda forgot to mention the snake bite and almost dying." Grover pointed out with a smirk, causing Annabeth to stiffen at the reminder and then glare at Percy. Percy gave his friend a look that says, 'traitor' and then attempt to placate to Annabeth.
"I didn't think you needed to know that. I didn't want to worry you guys." Percy said, but that did not save him from Annabeth's wrath. Before she could start yelling at Percy, a kit and a kitten appeared on her lap and gave her the cutests looks in the world, she could not resist squealing and hugging them.
Percy look to Naruto and Yugito, who gave him winks. Percy sigh in relief. He will need to find a way to thank them from Annabeth's wrath.
("Whoa," Grover...your dad.")
"I'm glad I didn't." Percy said, causing Hermes to be interest.
"Why's that?"
"You'll see in-"
"The book, I know." He should've known that would've been the answer.
(Before Annabeth...Percy Jackson.")
"Okay, you are becoming infamous Percy." Hermes said, with a bit of amazement. It's rare that a twelve year old could gain a reputation like that, not even his children could do it.
(We ducked...behind us.)
"And that's the end." Reyna said, closing the book. Then Annabeth looks towards Naruto, Fuu and Yugito. She asked with pleading eyes. "Can you show us where you grew up around please?"
"Sure and the forest of death is still around, although that is Anko's territory. So you will see a lot of snakes and other man eating things, whether plants or animals. The trees are huge and are handmade." Naruto said shocking everyone. Everyone was thinking besides the primordials Artemis, Hestia and Rhea that the forest is man made.
"H-H-How is it man made?" Demeter asked, shocked that any mortal can even do it.
"Well the forest was made by the first hokage, who helped create the village with Madara so the Bijuu, the nine demon beasts, had a place to stay while in konoha, but they are no longer around." Naruto explained. "So that is how the forest was created. He was very powerful shinobi, you see, and had the power to form wood, so he was capable of and we will be visiting making an entire forest. They'd also show the element nation how strong they are, to the other rival villages and countries and not to mention I had married a few of those rulers."
Meanwhile, Annabeth, Athena, Demeter, and Katie are jotting down notes while the others were listening intently. Before they could ask anymore questions, Naruto engulfed them with shadows and they all teleported to the forest of death.
