So are you all wondering what Miserix wanted? Well let's find out. Read and Review.
Percy POV:
"So I'm going to guess that you want to be free? We free you, you help us, am I correct?" I asked. I mean seriously, in every situation like this, one side always wants have something that's obvious.
Miserix merely smiled. "Yes, you released only the first cage, the second is more difficult. For you see this prison's cell holds me back because much of my power was taken from me, sealed inside my helm and weapon. They have been sent to secret locations but I've discovered them. Simply retrieve them, bring them back here and I'll give you any information you need."
I thought for a moment. Releasing someone like Miserix was a serious risk, even right I think the dude could probably kill me even with most of his powers gone. But if I knew him as I thought I did, he wouldn't kill me right away if he were free. He would probably go after his former comrades and get some payback. He also had information that I needed.
"Alright, we have a deal. So where are they?" I asked, looking at Miserix whose face looked please at my response.
When I told the others they all gave me their different opinions.
"So let me get this straight, the only way we can get the info that could decide the fate of the Galaxy or this planet, and to earn it we have to go on a scavenger hunt?" Cried Fist.
Ember was quiet for a moment before saying "I think we should do it. If all else, we may found out more while looking for his weapons."
Wolf said nothing, just stared at Miserix's prison. He's seen a lot in his life and once you get to know him you understand what he thinks.
Ty already gave me his answer: When he loads his shotgun it means he ready for some action.
"Okay since we've all decided I guess I should now tell you where we are going." I had them gather around and told them. "Miserix said that his staff was placed in a fortress on a land of ice guarded by horrible creatures and apparently there is a Makuta in charge of them."
Fist asked, "So what land of ice would he be talking about? Because you're the only one who knows this planet better."
I already knew where the place it would be. Antarctica.
Chad POV:
"ETA 9 minutes. Hope everyone is buckled up back there." Said the pilot over the intercom.
We were about to be fly over the coast of England and straight towards London. After much planning the Gods and mortal leaders finally began a massive offensive attack against the bastards. We were first during a sneak attack in order to weaken their defenses on the coastlands so our main forces could get in easier. We had a few demigods with us for the sneak attack. Darius, Charlie, Selena, Luke, Jason and Piper's son Jack and myself were with the first sneak attack.
I was worried sort of, as anyone should be when attacking some outside threat that managed to do so much damage. How would a small group of soldiers and demigods be able to destroy enough in order to allow a larger force get through?
The pilot spoke up again, "Landing in 15 seconds."
The Sergeant soon stood up. "Okay listen up the moment we touch ground, we all get up and regroup with the rest of the squads and await orders from the Lieutenant." Then he turned to look at me, "That includes you too son. Everyone clear on that?"
Everyone nodded and all the soldiers checked their guns and ammunition. I simply looked at my sword and made sure it was in prime condition. Soon a red light showed up and everyone tensed. I also kind of felt nervous of waiting for the sudden change to green.
When it suddenly did, the door on the helicopter opened and we all single filed quickly and silently as possible. The sergeant than guided us to a small clearing, where soon the other the squads joined up. I moved closer to my friends since I felt comfortable with them then the soldiers.
The Lieutenant motioned for silence and spoke. "Okay so the plan is that we'll move up towards the ports on the west side of the island. We'll plant explosives there and destroy the A.A weapons as well as sea weapons too. That way Poseidon's force can push back the hostile sea forces thus giving our guys a good land front and allow them to land safely. Then we'll regroup with them and join in on the push, clear? Good lets move out."
And thus we got up and began moving towards the beach, weapons raised incase of an attack. An hour or so later we heard noises, a screeching like noise in the distance, and it didn't sound friendly.
Then a swarm of these giant bugs came out of the air and dived right towards us. They had huge eyes and arms with long claws. I think they were called Nui-Ramas.
"Open fire!" Shouted the Lieutenant. The soldiers raised their automatic rifles and fired. Darius summoned undead soldiers who joined in the shooting. Jack threw lightning bolts while I threw solid ice javelins at the bugs. Two were killed instantly while another fell to the ground after having one of its wings torn off.
I heard a scream behind me. A Nui-Rama grabbed one of the soldiers. But before it could take off with its prey, Charlie jumped out of nowhere and started banging on the things body with his mace, Smasher (Yeah lame name, I know). The creature screeched in pain and dropped the soldier, allowing me to pull him out of there.
The bug landed on the ground dead with Charlie lifting his mace onto his shoulder, a look of pride on his face. "That's how we do it Earth style bitch." Yelled Charlie. By then most of the bugs had been either killed or fled. No one was dead yet, only a few cuts and scratches so we continued with the mission.
An hour or so later we could see the beach up ahead, which meant we were reaching our destination. Jack went up ahead with two other marines to scout the area, leaving the rest of us to relax for a little bit. That gave me enough time to think about my other objective: Finding Dad.
I had a good hunch that he knew what was going on and was probably trying to fix it at this very moment. The question is where is he and how could I get to him? Also even if I did find him, what help could I possibly be to him?
My thoughts were shaken off when Jack returned. I watched as he walked towards the lieutenant. "I couldn't really tell much but it seems that they have these giant scorpion machines that can fire this weird ball of energy from their tails, along with them more of those Visorak spider things too. But I saw no one else, not even a single guard."
The Lieutenant nodded and turned towards the group. "Okay we move in quietly and as long as we don't wake up those spiders we'll be fine. But remember, aim for the legs and eyes. Now move out."
We grabbed our gear and head down towards the beach. We decided to place the bombs only under the scorpions because we didn't want to take the chances of waking up a Visorak because if one woke up, they all would.
Once the last one was done, we all ran towards a building far away from the beach. Once we were safe the Lieutenant dug for the switch to blow the bombs. Darius sat beside me. "Well this was pretty easy."
Suddenly we heard a growl above us and then drool started to leak down. I glared at Darius. "You just had to say that, didn't you?"
The thing landed in the middle of us, causing the soldiers to react hastily. The figure was about half the size of the Minotaur, or maybe because his knees were bent. He had dark blue armor and he had spikes sticking out of his spine. His red eyes lit up the dark room, but the scariest part of him was that he had really huge sharp teeth that were shape into a wicked smile, as if he enjoyed killing things.
Then his eyes began to glow and a laser beam shot out. Darius and I just got out of the way as it turned the rock behind us into nothing. He continued by pulling out what appeared to be a gun because he loaded some round green ball and when fired it made an explosion.
"Shit, the trigger!" Cried the Lieutenant. I followed his gaze and saw that the trigger for the bomb was on the other side of the attacker. I tried to make a run for it, but the guy slammed his fists down and roared right in front of my face. Then he pulled out another weapon, which had a harpoon on one side and a buzz saw on the other.
The thing swung its weapon at me, but I dodged in time. Then I pulled out Tidal Wave and charged. The creature grin got wider as he raised his weapon, ready to strike me down. I thought for sure that I would be killed, which was weird since I'm immortal and immortals can't be killed, but I charged anyway. But lightning appeared out of nowhere and sent the monster into the rubble. I turned to see Jack and Like with their hands up, static radiating off of them. Jack looked at me with a grin on.
"Well that guy wasn't so-" His sentence was cut off when a bolt of lightning knocked him down. Luke's eyes widen in shock as created a shield of fire when another lightning bolt struck him. He took less of a hit but was still sent backwards. It was a good thing that they were resilient to those or they both would have been hurt even more.
The monster was already back up and had static coming off of his hands this time. So he can shoot lightning too? Something didn't feel right. If he could do that then why didn't he…
A terrible thought came into my head: What if he could absorb and use any type of attack that hits him? That would explain how he did what just did right now. That also meant if I used my powers on him, he could use them too after it hits him. I wasn't really sure if he could control that much but I wasn't ready to find out.
Before I could act, bullets and grenades were pelting the monster. I looked around and saw the soldiers and Charlie and Selena firing at him. Soon skeleton warriors appeared and were attacking him. I knew it wouldn't be enough, but it would cause enough of a distraction to allow me to grab the detonator. But as I ran to it, the creature fired another laser beam at me. I didn't have anytime to block or dodge it as it struck me head on, causing something to hit me in the back and black out.
At that moment, I don't know what happened, but I felt a huge amount of energy in me. I must have gone autopilot because the next thing I know the creature is laying inside a crater, both badly burnt, cut up and bashed up. I looked down at my hands and saw this weird glowing energy around them as it quickly disappeared.
Not wanting to know if it was still alive, I made a dash for the detonator and squeezed the trigger. From here I could hear the bombs go off and creatures screeching in both shock and pain. I also heard the lieutenant calling the armada to come in.
And finally I heard a groan and turned to see the blue armored being stand up, cradling his head with one of his hands. He looked towards the sea as battleships and my grandfather's army started to approach. Then he turned to me a glared.
"You'll pay for this. No one messes with Vezok and lives." He said, speaking for the first time and then ran off.
I just stared at his retreating form as my friends came down to check up on me. Darius summoned some undead medics to check up on Luke and Jack and any other wounded. Selena and Charlie ran up to me and asked, "Dude how did you do that?"
All I could do was shake my head and said, "I have no idea, but it seemed to hurt that Vezok guy a lot."
Selena raised an eyebrow, "How did you know its name?"
Confused, I replied, "He just told me in plain English, didn't you hear it?"
This time Charlie gave a confused look. "Dude, ever since these guys got here, we couldn't understand a thing they were saying, not even the intelligent looking ones."
That didn't make sense. When they first got here, Crystal and I were able to understand bits of pieces of what these things said and now I can understand full sentences. Why could no one else though?
Darius ran up to us and said, "If you guys are done talking, we need to head over to the beach and regroup with the army."
We nodded and began to follow. But before I turned around, I could have sworn I saw five glowing balls of energy in the sky, heading towards the south. But it was soon blocked out by Zeus's coming storm.
Hoped you like that? Sorry it took so long, I'm traveling parts of the West of the U.S with my mom, so time for typing has been difficult. Also I like to thank XxxEnvyxxX for her character idea. It helped me think of a new couple for this story, but I won't tell for who. If you have any, please send the idea to me on Private message.
Thanks and Review
