Smelly Gabe turns to Stone
"Chapter 21: I Settle My Tabs…" Frank read. They all are wondering what that title meant while Percy and Sally, strangely, grin evilly. Bye bye Smelly Gabe.
(It's funny...much later.)
"Don't worry Percy, you aren't the only one who does it." Thalia said to Percy. "Even Athena's children don't really appreciate his wisdom until much later."
Chiron smiles with a twinkle in his eyes. "I'm glad at least you demigod listen." Chiron said to them. It sometimes amusing to see the demigods appreciate his advice later on.
(According to...of terror.)
"Kidnapper, no." Perseus said, but then say something that got Ares blood boiling. "But crazy, definitely yes. He probably drop a shield on his head when he was young." A lot of the demigods laugh at that while Thalia grin and fist bump her half-brother. He was probably the only brother she like right now.
(Poor little...police custody.)
"...Wow, mortals really are stupid." Hermes said, ignoring the "Hey!" from Rachel. "I mean, who would believe that a child would have a shoot off in the middle of Los Angeles with a man that at least twice his age? That proves how stupid they are."
Rachel frown, but then lost the frown when Percy defended her. "Not all of the mortals are stupid Hermes. The ones who see through the mist prove to be the smarter ones. Mom and Rachel prove that."
Rachel smile in thanks, who smile in return and grab her hand, giving it a quick squeeze while nobody was looking.
(The reporters...the cameras.)
The Stolls and Hermes look at Percy with gleam at their eyes. "Maybe with enough training, he can become the perfect thief." Hermes said. Annabeth, Rachel, and Reyna look at each other while Sally and Poseidon did the same with each other. They all agree to keep those pranksters and thieves away from Percy. Never leave him alone with them.
("All I...phone number.")
"Hahahah." Thalia laughed out loud, holding her stomach. The others are as well. "Getting the pig to give out free appliances is devious and well deserve payback." The majority of the room agree with her, loving to hear about Smelly Gabe suffering.
(The police...New York.)
"What would happen if you didn't raise enough money?" Frank asked Percy.
Percy shrug. "I would probably pickpocket some people in order to get enough cash. Did so before." Seeing the shock looks, especially from his mother and father, Percy explain himself. "I had to, in order to give Gabe his poker money. It was either that or he would give me another scar." Immediately, he cover his mouth, but everyone heard that part. There was a huge silence in the room.
"Percy…" Poseidon said slowly, looking at his son. "What do you mean, 'another scar'?" Percy look away from his father and the others, hoping that they will let it go. But his girlfriends, parents, sister figures, and best friends are staring at him so intensely, pleadingly, that he sigh and give up.
"Sometime, when Gabe got really drunk or when I don't have enough money to pay him. He sometimes get a knife from the kitchen and cut me around the chest and stomach." Percy admitted, shocking everyone. "Sometimes, the wound is so deep, I had to get in the bath in order to survive."
There was a stun silence in the room, everyone feeling different emotions. How can somebody be that cruel? To do something like that to the kid?
Hazel hesitantly asked something. "Um, Percy, can you show us the scars?" Percy stiffen a little. He didn't want to show them, but he didn't get a choice. Suddenly, Aphrodite snap her finger and suddenly his shirt, along with the makeup that hide the scars, disappear.
A lot of people eyes widen in shock at all the nasty scars on Percy. One of the most noticeable one is the one on the abdomen, spelled 'BRAIN BOY'. Even Hades was paler than he usually is.
Some of the women started tearing up, especially Annabeth, Rachel, Hazel, and Sally. Thalia, Poseidon, Reyna, Nico, Naruto, and a few others had anger in their eyes, wanting to tear apart that pig again.
Percy, seeing everyone staring at him, gritted his teeth and ran from the room. There was still a stun silence until Hephaestus stare at his wife.
"Aphrodite…" Hephaestus said slowly. "Can you explain to me why you took off his shirt?" Aphrodite look away from her husband, not wanting to stare at stern intense eyes. She did because she wanted to see how Percy look without a shirt and without the makeup. "Aphrodite?" the man said once again, sterner. Aphrodite flinch, but she couldn't ignore her husband again. She subconsciously shrink to her mortal form, the phrase shrinking under a stare turning literally.
"I…" Aphrodite started sheepishly, looking at her shoes. "I kinda wanted to see him shirtless" That angered many people in the room. She had Percy run out of the room, just because she wanted to see him shirtless?!
SLAP!
Aphrodite was stunned when she felt her cheeks. And it come from Sally Jackson, who looks really scary when angry. Something that she rarely felt.
"You stupid SLUT!" Sally yelled and the fact that she's using obscenities prove just how angry she is. "You made him run out just because you couldn't control yourself?! Did it ever occur to you that those scars remind him of what Gabe did to him?! Of the years he had to put up with that walrus?! Did even think about what you were doing?!"
As Sally kept yelling, Aphrodite started crying in guilt. Finally, Poseidon teleported to where Sally at and grab her by the shoulder. Sally calm down at Poseidon's touch and breath heavily, glaring at Aphrodite.
"So who is going to get Percy?" Poseidon asked, giving a lingering glare at Aphrodite while leading Sally back to the couch. Before anyone would volunteer, Kushina noticed something.
"Where daddy at?" Kushina asked, looking around. Everyone notice Naruto missing as well. But then they heard him at the entrance.
"Don't worry, I got Percy here." Naruto said, with Percy beside him. Naruto teleported to his wives and daughters while Percy to his girlfriends, with a shirt and a blue jacket. Annabeth sat on his lap again and squeeze his waist in comfort while Rachel and Reyna lay their hands on each shoulder, giving him comfort, getting Percy to smile at all of them in thanks.
(I knew...the flight.)
"Seeing that my bolt is on there, I'll let it go this time." Zeus said with a grunt. "But next time, I'm blowing him out of the sky for daring to enter my territory."
Yugito looks toward Zeus with a blank look. "You do know that there are other gods or goddesses whose domains are the sky and yet they are not destroying planes right left and center. Me, I would let them enter my territory no problem." She said with a straight face. Zeus scowls at her, but he couldn't do anything, even if he wanted to.
(Takeoff was...the truth.)
"Smart and noble." Hestia said, smiling at Percy. "You are a true hero Perseus. Most would bring their companion just so they could suffer the same fate they do."
Percy blush at the compliment, but shook his head at the last part. "I would never put any of my friends in knowing danger. That's cruel and selfish." All of his friends smile at him. They are glad that Percy is at their camp.
Jason frown. During this whole book, Percy shows how strong he really is. Defeating a fury before discovering he was a demigod, ripping off a minotaurs horn, defeating five of Ares' demigods with only weeks of training, and wounding Ares himself, all at age twelve. And there is rarely any time, Percy show any arrogance over his accomplishment. Everything he thought about Percy is being prove wrong and he's feeling two emotions right now. Anger at being proved wrong and guilt for treating Percy like scum.
(I went...anyone unannounced.")
"Make Percy an exception please." Travis said, pleadingly. "Otherwise, World War III will begin." Everyone nodded in agreement to that. They would rather not have another world war.
("Oh, I...with you.")
"Why not?" Leo asked, getting face faults, palmed face, and sweat drops around him. "What would happen if you do?"
Piper merely chuckled at Leo's obliviousness. "If a mortal got in their with Percy and if he went to the six hundredth floor, they would've saw Olympus." Leo made an 'oh' and smile sheepishly at that.
(I did...an airplane.)
Thalia paled at the thought of being so high up. She would die if she looked down from Olympus!
(In front...years ago.)
The demigods smile at each other. Annabeth new version of Olympus is even better than the one in the book.
(This place...get noticed?)
"The same reason why everyone thought you blew up the national state building," Artemis said. "Or that you and Ares were having a shoot out. Or that you were holding a bat instead of a sword." A few of the gods look at Artemis strangely. They've never thought Artemis could act cheeky.
(But here...their garden.)
Rachel, Reyna, and Annabeth glare at the book like it try to kill them. Rachel and Reyna discreetly grabbed Percy's arms in theirs while Annabeth squeeze his waist tightly.
(Hawkers in...Golden Fleece,)
"Doesn't match up with the real fleece." Percy said, with the other demigods agreeing with him.
(as seen...and silver.)
"I'm not into positive mood." Hades said with an eye roll. "I'm used to the dark look of the underworld."
(I realized...anybody bitter.)
All of the Olympians look at Hades, who looked away from everybody else. Most of them felt a pang of guilt for the way they treat him. Why did they banish him in the first place, anyway? What did he do to deserve that?
Persephone squeezed his hand in understanding. He often confide in her about he feel about being shunned by the other gods, so she know how he feels. The only people that knows him well is her and Hestia. Poseidon talks to him as well, but doesn't know him that well.
(Steps led…legs trembling.)
"So I'm guessing pops and uncle P?" Apollo asked, getting nods in agreement. "Damn it, why aren't the rest of us there?"
"Don't know." Hephaestus shrugged, fiddling with some type of machine. "Maybe it's because the bolt missing mainly affect the two of them, as well as the birth of Perseus."
(The gods...lot, too.)
"Accurate descriptions." Naruto said, looking at Zeus and Poseidon. "Just like the other gods description." Dionysus grunted, remembering his description of himself. Hmmph, a cherub. He had half a mind to turn the demigod insane, but the other half is yelling at him not to get Poseidon or Naruto angry. Luckily, he's not that big of an idiot like his father.
(His throne...an argument.)
"What else is new?" Hera asked with an eye roll. Poseidon pouted while Zeus sent his wife a betrayed look.
(I approached...into dust.)
"I wouldn't." Poseidon said, then glare at Zeus. "And I would stop Zeus from doing that to you."
Zeus scoff and glare at his brother. "Did you forget that I am the king, brother? My word is law."
"Then how come you come up with very stupid laws? And, as I recall Chaos, is the one sitting at the top and he/she can over rule your laws." Naruto said to Zeus. Zeus gritted his teeth at the reminder, but stays quiet.
(To my...first, boy?")
"The boy has a name, Zeus." Rhea said sternly. "And you should give him respect, seeing that he got your bolt for you." Zeus said nothing, not wanting to admit he was wrong to treat him the way he did, but not wanting to argue with his mother. Even he knows that you don't argue with your mom.
"And just because your lord of the house, does not mean Percy have to bow to you." Ayame said to him. Zeus clearly disagrees with that, but didn't say anything.
(I kept...sacred oath?")
"Dad, did you forget that you had me and Jason?" Thalia said angrily, pointing at herself and her brother. "You broke the oath too."
"But I'm king!" Zeus exclaimed, which sound more like a whine. Many of the Olympians shook their head at him, wondering how on earth did he become king.
"A lousy king." Kushina muttered, but everyone heard. Naruto smile and nodded in agreement while the Olympians and some of the demigods laugh at that while Zeus turn a bright shade of red.
"I like your daughter, Naruto!" Hades said, snickering at the bright red Zeus. Kushina blush and bury her head into Naruto's shoulder, making the blond laugh.
("I have...him speak.")
"Wrongdoing?" Ayame said slowly, her anger bubbling. "Did you just call him, your own son, a wrongdoing?" Many others felt anger at what Poseidon said as well, including Sally. But that anger bubble even more when Zeus spoke.
"He is a wrongdoing!" Zeus growled, glaring at Percy. "He's proof of the broken oath and something that shouldn't exist! No proof of the broken oath should exist" Thalia glares at her father heatedly while Jason felt like he's been slapped. Did his father really just say that?
The next thing everyone knows is Naruto is holding Zeus up by his neck with red eyes. "You really just said that in front of THALIA AND JASON WHO ARE YOUR CHILDREN OF YOUR FUCKING BROKEN OATH. YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK BECAUSE YOU WERE THE FIRST TO BREAK THE OATH." Naruto then throw Zeus against the wall in betting him into the wall.
"Rhea please teach this CHILD so proper respect because he has NONE." Naruto growled, stilling feeling angry, to Rhea. She nodded her head, disappointment at how Zeus is acting.
"We'll talk later Zeus." Rhea said sternly, causing the grown god to pale and whimper like a little boy.
(A lump...god's mistake?)
"No you're not Percy." Sally said, moving up to Percy's side. Annabeth, Reyna, and Rachel gave them room so she could hug, with baby Percy in her arms as well. "You weren't a mistake, not for me and not for Poseidon." Percy smile and hug his mother, along with the mini him in her arms. Many of the females smile at the mother and son bonding.
("I have...his impudence.")
"Then should I sink any ship that has your children?" Poseidon said challengingly, with a raised eyebrow. "Or should Hades give every single of your children the field of punishment?"
Zeus gritted his teeth and glare at him. "Don't you dare touch my children!"
"Then don't harm ours when they're up in the sky." Poseidon said easily, not losing his composure. "But if you harm my own children, you will suffer one way or another."
Hades smile darkly. "And I will help Poseidon, if need be." Zeus felt a little fear. His two brothers against him, is not something he would want to feel again. So, he stayed quiet, too stubborn and too prideful to admit defeat.
Percy smile, glad that his dad protects him while Thalia felt envious that Percy have a good father.
("And risk...from Olympus.")
Poseidon growl, but stayed quiet this time.
("Perseus," Poseidon...or not.)
"I am happy." Poseidon whispered, feeling guilt. He should've took care of him, damn the laws Zeus had. But he had his duty with the ocean and his own wife and his son, Triton. He couldn't abandon them. Despite loving Sally and Percy dearly, he loves Amphitrite and Triton just as much.
(In a...yet, either.)
"You're not the only one Percy." Annabeth said to him. "Probably all demigods would feel the same way you do." The demigods nodded at that, even a hesitant Jason, making the gods feel guilty.
("Address Lord...you story.")
Hestia glare at Poseidon. "Like I said to Zeus, the boy has a name Poseidon." Poseidon felt a little guilt.
"My future self probably stayed formal so Zeus wouldn't get on my back." Poseidon said quietly, though he is not sure if he believes his own words.
(So I...into it.)
"Yes!" Zeus cheered, pumping his fist. "Everything is back to normal." He got several slaps from the goddesses, the hardest one from his own wife.
(As he...unlike him.")
"You mean that he isn't smart enough to come up with a plan like that?" Athena asked innocently, getting a lot of laughs. Ares gritted his teeth and was about to curse at Athena, when he saw Hestia warning glance. He close his mouth, grumbling like a child.
("He is...the family.")
"Here, here." Hades, Aphrodite, Hera, and Demeter chorused together, agreeing with Poseidon. Artemis, Athena, and Hephaestus are more prideful while Apollo and Ares are more impulsive.
("Lord?" I...the idea.")
"We all know who did it." Hades said darkly. "But dear brother is too stubborn and prideful to admit it."
"There is no proof that he is rising!" Zeus exclaimed. Everyone stare at him blankly. There is a lot of proof that points to Kronos rising up. The Olympians look at each other and all of them agree on something. They will prepare to fight without Zeus's knowledge, whether he likes it or not. They are not going to get killed just because he's too stubborn to see the truth.
(I described...Zeus asked.)
Hades scowl at that, along with his son and daughter. The two of them hated how much Hades get blamed for everything. How he is automatically treated as the bad guy, due to being the ruler of the underworld.
"Hey." Frank whispered to Hazel, holding her hand. "You okay?" Hazel eyes soften up and nodded. She snuggle into Franks as he kept reading, along with ignoring the glare Nico sent him.
("No," I...the gods.")
Slowly, Athena is starting to admire the boys intelligence. But the prideful side, the one that refuse to think of a son of Poseidon as smart, refuse to see that Percy is smarter than he shows at school.
(Poseidon and...Zeus said.)
"Oh, look at that." Fuu said with an eye roll. "The future Zeus is still refusing to see the truth right in front of him. He even refuse to speak about it in the book."
"That's because he has yet to rise!" Zeus said, refusing to see reason. Athena shook her head.
"So should we wait for him rise and prepare to fight him at the last minute?" Athena argued. "That would be the most foolish thing to do. Even Ares know the importance of preparing for anything."
As the gods kept arguing, the demigods are getting more annoyed. They kept their cool until they heard baby Percy crying at the loud noise. They lost it and finally yelled at the gods, "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!"
The Olympians look at the kids with surprise. The primordials, the daughters of Naruto, and Rhea silently laugh at their expression.
Thalia huff, speaking for every demigod. "Damn, you gods sound like children! Instead of arguing about Kronos, do something about it!" The gods merely stare at them, still in shock. Finally, the gods merely pay attention to the book once again.
("I must...Annabeth Chase-")
"You didn't take all the credit?" One of the hunters asked in shock. "You didn't have to say anything, yet you decide to admit that they helped you?"
Percy merely look at her with confusion. "Why wouldn't I? They deserve most of the credit. Without them, I probably would've died in the quest."
The hunters are even more surprised at his response and it got them thinking. Maybe Naruto is right and he is not like other men. Maybe he might be a friend for the hunters.
("To show...you live.")
"So generous." Clarisse said sarcastically, scowling at Zeus. "He stopped World War III from happening and save millions of lives, and your reward for him is sparing his life? Tssk."
Zeus growled at the girl. "Be silent girl or you will be sorry!" Zeus commanded
"Oh go stuff that threat up your ass, along with your lightning bolt, with that pole that is already stuck up your ass." Clarisse retorted. Everyone laugh while Zeus turn red in the face. Ares wipe a tear off his face, proud of his girl.
("Um...thank...last sensation.")
Almost every single person in the room glare at Zeus, including some of the hunters who already took a liking to Percy. The primordials are leaking out killing intent, intimidating Zeus.
"Zeus…" Poseidon said quietly, feeling real close into making a sea storm in here. "I hope you change your mind in the future. Because if you do harm him, you will make enemy out most of the Olympians and the primordials." Said Olympians and primordials nodded in agreement to this testament.
"And Zeus one more stupid comment from you I will destroy your Master bolt." Naruto threatened Zeus. When the immortal heard that he became more pale than his older brother Hades. He decided to watch his mouth from now on.
(Thunder shook...of theater.")
"Here, here." All the Olympians said together. Zeus, instead of growling like he usually do, just grumble angrily.
"I've seen better." Naruto said, with his wives and his daughters agreeing. One of their own is better at drama and acting than Zeus would ever be.
(An comfortable...the Titans.")
"Don't mention that accursed name!" Zeus shouted, though everyone can hear the denial and fear in his voice. Percy merely rolls his eyes.
(Even in...coming back.")
Before Zeus can say/yell something, Naruto ducked tape his mouth shut, causing muffle shouts to come out of the man's mouth. Everyone sighs in relief. They can read the story in peace now.
(Poseidon shook...to do.")
"Doing nothing about it is not going to help matters." Naruto said, shaking his head. "You need to prepare for the battle to come, not deny the proof in front. If you ignore the threat, hoping for a false alarm, then people's lives will be at risk. Even if it might be just a false alarm, you need to prepare for the worst."
The Olympians could not help, but agree (except for Zeus, of course). Ignoring the proof and pretending that it's not happening will not help at all.
("But-" I...my side.)
"I wouldn't do that Percy." Poseidon said, shaking his head. "I will always protect you."
"I'm on your side as well Percy." Apollo said with a beaming smile.
"Me too." Aphrodite said, grinning at him. "I wouldn't let such a cute face be killed." Percy blushed and stuttered while Annabeth, Reyna, and Rachel glare at her. Hephaestus merely groan, knowing that Aphrodite just being a flirt.
"I would help you as well Perseus." Demeter said to him. "Anyone who would help animals is on my side."
"Me and my hunters will protect him as well, even if he is a male." Artemis said. "He is a true hero, more so than any other hero in history."
"Because he defeated my brother, I'll be on his side." Hephaestus said. "Anybody who can wound Ares can count on me building a good weapon for them."
"I will help Perseus as well." Hades said calmly. "The boy proves to be different from other heroes and more honorable than anyone else that successfully entered the underworld. He has my full support."
"I will help him as well." Hestia said. "He shows to be gently, kind, selfless, and brave. Everything a demigod needs. He will have the warm of the hearth."
As more of the gods say that they will support, Percy was slowly turning into a cherry. Piper, Leo, Jason, Theseus, Perseus, Hercules, and Orion are surprise at how most of the Olympians supported Percy. No demigod in history never had that much support from the gods.
All of his friends, however, aren't really surprise by this. Percy has the charisma that can get most people by his side. He has an affect on people that people rarely have.
("As...as...does it?")
"Nope." All of his friends chorused. It was true. The only people he would listen to is Annabeth and Sally. He even rebels against Chiron at times.
("No...sir."...has returned.")
Most of the Olympians look at Hades in shock while Poseidon sigh in relief in pure relief. "You actually returned Sally back to the mortal realm?" Apollo asked in shock. Hades scowled at their shock look.
"I'm not heartless!" Hades said, glaring at all of them, causing them to quail under the glare. "When my helm returned, I have no reason to keep her. And I told Perseus that I would return her."
(I stare...his debts.")
"See?" Hades said sourly, causing them to flinch. They should really stop seeing the worst of him.
Poseidon look at Hades with pure gratitude with his eyes. "Thank you, Hades."
(My heart...think about.)
"I wanted to see her." Poseidon said quietly. "I wanted to visit her so badly. But I couldn't risk her safety. If Zeus found out about her and you Perseus, he would've killed both of you like he did with Hades's lover, Marie. I couldn't risk the both of you safety." Sally blush and smile, seeing how much Poseidon truly cared while Percy nodded and smile in understanding.
Meanwhile, Hades eyes darken as he remember Marie getting killed by Zeus. It was one of the reasons why he attacked Thalia. He wanted Zeus to feel the same pain he did, but now, he knew he acted out of anger and vengeance. Persephone saw the dark look when Marie was mentioned and frown in jealousy.
(Poseidon's eyes...must decide.")
Percy smile. He sometimes visit the museum where they hold Smelly Gabe and throw anything sticky on it without anyone looking.
("Your mother...said wistfully.)
Sally blush heavily, but have a small frown. She wonder how Poseidon will react to the news about Paul being with her. She would hate to hurt him in anyway, but she honestly love Paul as well.
("I had...been born.)
"Poseidon." Naruto groan, facepalming. "Did you really say that you regret Percy being born?" Poseidon, himself, groan. Reading it himself show how bad it sounded.
"I didn't mean it like that." Poseidon said quietly.
("I don't...you again.")
Hestia frown. "Don't say something like that in the future Poseidon." Hestia said quietly, getting Poseidon to shiver. Hestia can be scary when she wants to be. Even Hades is intimidated by her when she's angry.
(There was...Sea God.")
Hestia is smiling now. "That's better." She said to her brother while all of Percy's friends and Sally agreed. Sally smile at the baby version of her son and hug him tightly. She is glad Percy grew up to be the person he is now. Though she regret marrying Gabe and having Percy live a horrible life. She thought Gabe focused on hurting her, but instead, she fail at keeping him away from hurting Percy. The scars she saw is going to haunt her.
(As I...of hero.)
"You are a hero." All of his friends, girlfriends, and his mother chorus together.
Leo grin. "A very awesome one." Piper quietly agree with Leo. She had some doubts about the boy, but they were all evaporated as she read on. Percy is a true hero in every way.
Hercules scoff at that, but remain quiet. He smart enough to know that he couldn't say anything, since he got defeated easily by a primordial. He gulped, remembering the deal. Hopefully, Naruto forgot about it. Not likely because Naruto has a very evil smile on his face.
(Fifteen minutes...see her.)
Hera smile, loving mother and son reuniting. She scowl when she saw Ares gagging and she whacked her son on the head, getting several curses from him.
That only earned another hit in the head
(She told...get started.)
'Kill, kill, kill!' Was the thought of Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, Poseidon, Artemis, and Hestia.
(I swallowed...or what?")
There are cracks under the throne of Poseidon.
(She closed...free appliances.")
"Something he deserve!" Thalia seeth, clutching her bow. Then she turned to Naruto. "Is it possible for you to revive him? I want to use him for target practice!"
Naruto shook his head. "As much as I would like to, the dead have to stay dead." Thalia frown, but lost the frown when he continue. "Don't worry, he's at my version of the underworld. He's going to suffer for everything Percy and Sally had suffered in his hand."
Everyone grin at that.
("Oh, yeah...the lampshades.)
Aphrodite look dizzy, ready to faint. Luckily, Hephaestus steady her, making sure she wouldn't fall down. She smile in appreciation and attempted to kiss his cheek, but he move away from the kiss. She frowned in disappointment.
(Gabe and...he growled.)
"Make sure his punishment is painful, daddy!" Artemis seethed, wanting to rip that man apart again.
("Get me...my mother.)
"WHAT?!" Poseidon, Artemis, Hestia, Hera, and Ayame screeched. Suddenly, the throne started shaking and parts of the floor began to crack. Some lost their balance while others can barely stay on their couch. The hearth rose up in flames.
Naruto along with the others immortals and demigods are seething as well. Hurting a woman, your own WIFE at that, is something despicable to them.
"Hades." Naruto said darkly, after the shaking stopped. "I would like your help with Gabe's punishment." Hades smile darkly and nodded in agreement. They will make that man truly suffer for eternity.
(I didn't...my pocket.)
"That was once in my life that I wish my sword could harm mortals." Percy said quietly. It didn't shock anyone and Chiron didn't disapprove. He knows of Percy's fatal flaw and would destroy anyone that would harm his friends and family. "A part of me wish I was there to see him turn into stone. To see the horror in his eyes." He mumbled to his friends, so no one else can hear.
Reyna, Rachel, and Annabeth hugged him in comfort. They don't blame him for feeling that way. They would to, if they had to live with someone like that for years.
(He just...you understand?")
"KILL HIM!" Was the shout of everyone in this room. Most of them, if not everyone, want the man dead.
("Hey, Gabe...like idiots.)
By now, everyone is as bloodthirsty as Ares was. They want to kill all three of those guys and make their deaths oh so painful.
("I'll be...stay gone.")
"THE STREETS ARE BETTER THAN LIVING WITH YOU!" Surprisingly, it was Hazel who shouted that. Sally flinch, feeling even more and more guilty at her rash decision in marrying Gabe.
(I was...was human.)
"By the loosest definition." Naruto mimicked, scowling. "Note to self, have a weapon that can kill people like Gabe made." the demon lord mumbled.
(My mother...Walters interview.)
"If everyone knew the truth, they would punch themselves for being so stupid." Rachel muttered bitterly, honestly wondering how smart people are.
("Gabe is...school-" "Mom.")
Sally lowers her head. Percy was right. She was glad she got rid of that monster years ago. He was worse than anything Percy face. She just wish that she could've done it sooner, or better yet, not marry the man at all. Maybe she can convince her past self not to do it.
(She lowered...TO SENDER.)
"Wait a minute, it's Medusa's Head!" Thalia said in realization. "But that means…"
Everyone look at one one another. Then, almost everyone scream, "DO IT!"
(Suddenly I...Sea God.)
"Of course." Athena said. "He can choose whether to live the summer in camp half-blood or hide his scent from the monsters by living with Gabe."
"I think we know what Percy is going to choose." Nico said, causing everyone to nod in agreement.
(I looked...or not?")
"Anyone with a sane mind and isn't as big as a jerk like him would want him gone." Piper said, getting nods in agreement from everyone.
(She hesitated...living room.)
"Those would be the only statues I would approve of." Naruto said, smiling evilly. "But that is a quick death, something that man don't deserve."
(That's what...hesitated. Now…)
"I would turn him into stone and smash him to bits without flinching." Percy said, but there's no emotion in that voice. Some of them frown at the tone in his voice, but everyone nodded in agreement.l
("I can...of him.")
Hera smile softly. "I like this boy. He loves and protect his family. He loves his mother more than most demigod."
"We agree." Hestia and Ayame said together. They can feel the love between between Percy and Sally.
(She wiped...of that.")
"She's right." Artemis said, having more respect for the woman along with the hunters. "You are a strong woman and mother Sally." Sally blushed at the compliment.
(We listened...or forever?")
"During the summer." All of his friends chorused. Then Grover spoke for all of them this time. "He cares too much about his family to abandon her."
Sally smile softly at that while baby Percy snuggle into his mother arms, babbling.
(We locked...of all.")
Zeus, Hercules, Octavian, and Orion snorted in disagreement, but they were silence with glares.
"He really is." Rachel said. "He prove that more times than one, in many ways."
A lot of his friends agreed, even the Romans, who barely saw him in action. But a glimpse of it is what they only need to see that he is one. Percy blush heavily. After so many years, he still not use to compliments.
PIper and Leo merely watched them, but they agreed with them. He accomplished so many things and this is only the first book, when he was twelve. They can see that the other books will have more to show.
Jason fist turns white, struggling to hold himself together. He thought about the Roman camp and reading this book, he knew that Percy handled the Roman camp well and earn that praetorship. He was extremely jealous now. Jealous at how strong he was, jealous at the respect and friendship he receives, jealous at how much godly parents notice him, jealous of everything about him. And with that jealousy, he feels guilt deep down. Unknown to him, Naruto is reading his mind.
Naruto narrows his eyes. He got an idea of why Jason is acting this way. He figured out that Jason fatal flaw, is jealousy. It's a flaw that change your personality and make you do irrational decision. He also has hubris, being a child of one of the most prideful god, and hubris and jealousy is a dangerous combination.
(I took… "Good riddance.")
"Go choke on your chips!" Thalia hissed in anger.
(I had...Her own.)
"I agree." Poseidon said in agreement. "Though I wish I could've seen the pig turn into stone." Everyone nodded in agreement, though they smile at the remember of Naruto slicing up Gabe with the wind.
("The meat...garden statue.)
"Hooray!" Everyone cheered in happiness. Finally, Gabe won't be seen in any other book.
"I'm done." Frank said, looking at the others. "Who would like to have the honor of reading the last chapter?"
"I will." Ayame said, grabbing the book. She turn to the last page and started reading.
"Chapter 22: The Prophecy Comes True…"
Spirit: And that's the end. I hope everyone like this chapter and I want your opinion about the scars on Percy back. For me, I think Gabe would do something like that. He is a monster in all but name and blood. What do you think Phoenix?
Phoenix: That is a no duh. Gabe is a monster through and through.
Spirit: Again, I hope everyone like this chapter. Now, we have one or maybe two more chapters left. Also, do you want Luke to appear on the next chapter (It will be past Luke, a few days before he stole the Bolt, though he got the assignment from Kronos)?
Phoenix: You're being very brave or very crazy. I can't tell which.
Spirit: Runs in my family, well, except for my mom maybe. The crazy part.
Phoenix: Ok that explains it. Well everyone we hope you liked this chapter.
Spirit: Again, make sure to check the poll on my profile. Review, favorite, and follow, and we will see you later.
