I'm going to try and split this chapter. One part with Percy and the other his kids because some people want to know what powers they inherited. Enjoy
Percy POV:
"Where could he have gone?" Ember exclaimed, as she was searching the area for the Ty. Currently, we were standing on top of the rubble of a building, looking everywhere. We noticed that the big guy was missing when we landed on the ground. I remembered while we were traveling, I felt a power that was similar to mine, but in a much weaker state, like it wasn't fully mature or in control. I remember in movies and stories where the children would gain their parent's powers. That led me to believe that one of my kids must have done it and Ty must have mistook his or her power for mine.
"Blade" Wolf said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw that he was staring at me with a look you couldn't fight back. "You know something don't you? I felt an energy similar too yours and I think you know where it originated from."
Fist and Ember were now looking at me and I knew there was no avoiding it. So with a sigh I came clean. "Well what happened was when I came to grab Hestia I learned that me ex-girlfriend was pregnant with two of my kids, who are now immortal and both might be gaining some of the new powers I got when I joined the Vanguard."
All three just stared at me for a few moments before Fist said, "Well that explains hell of a lot."
"Also why there are two more Vanguards here." Wolf added. He was right; Chad must have used the stones in Ty's pocket and accidentally called for more back up. I sighed, knowing that the Council will want a fill in of what just happened.
"For now lets focus on getting this back to Miserix." I said as I slid the staff into the dimensional bag attached to the back of my armor. The others just got up when Ember said, "Wait should we be doing this?"
We all turned to her, not saying anything, which she took as a sign to continue. "We're helping a possible enemy gain his full powers, all for just information?"
I nodded to Wolf to explain. "Ember, I know Miserix, he is not one to betray us, he's more likely to try and wage war against his former comrades. He's also the only one so far whoever followed Chaos laws, which means he's our best shot for decent information."
Knowing that we wouldn't back down from this, Ember sighed in defeat and followed the rear. Fortunately his prison was only a block or two away from us. I had Quaver scan the area from the air, to make sure there was no sign of enemies either approaching or hiding to ambush us. He along with Fist, Wolf and Ember remained outside the dome while I went in to return the staff. Miserix was sitting on one of the statues inside the prison. When he saw the staff in my hand, I could see enjoyment in his eyes.
He held his arm out and suddenly the staff flew from my hand into his. The power from the staff immediately traveled into Miserix's body and I could tell that it was a good thing since he looked better. Than he came up to me while changing his form, turning into a giant red dragon with grey and black armor.
I raised an eyebrow. "What's with the change of form?"
He smiled, showing his new sharp teeth. "I've always preferred this form, I felt that it gave a more intimidating aura when I spoke with my subordinates." He said as he spread his wings out. Than Miserix said. "Since you have done such a favor for me, I shall reward you with some information, though I still expect you to complete the rest of our deal. But first I have a question: Who was the Makuta guarding my staff?"
I admit I was curious why he wanted to know that, but I thought there would be no harm to tell him. "His name was Spiriah, heard of him?"
Miserix eyes widen at the name and then narrowed, as if he was thinking. "They would put someone like him to defend it, why?"
"I'm guessing you're shocked by this choice?" I asked, wondering what the deal was.
Miserix looked at me before replying. "His name, in the language of the Fade, means failure, which he is. Many centuries ago before you were found, he was tasked with helping talk down one of the Fade's rebelling species after the Tri-War, called the Skakdi. But instead he gave them powerful weapons and abilities, making it difficult for us to control them without killing everything around us. Because of that, he was cast down and nearly banished. But it seems Chotuka decided to give him mercy. Though it is strange that they would give him the task of guarding one of my weapons."
"Or wanted him out of the way." I thought. Not much trouble one can do in a frozen land. Miserix chuckled. "A two for one win, eh?"
Miserix than lowered his head. "Now what I can tell you is that Fade's forces didn't come here on purpose."
My eyes widen. "What do you mean, something or someone summoned them here? Because the way they were invading in the beginning, none of them looked shocked to be here."
"At that time yes." Replied Miserix, tapping his claw against his head as if trying to remember." But at first a portal opened in our domain, transporting some of us here, where they were in coma. Soon after Teridax announced we would invade this world, in order to gain supremacy against our enemies. As leader of the Makuta at the time, I moved against it and look where it got me." He let out an angry snarl. "Apparently voicing against one of my own lieutenants was also against my master as well."
I took this in. If what he said was true, than this changed everything we originally believed. If the Fade never meant to come here, someone must have done it, knowing the daemons would never pass up an opportunity like this. But a new question now popped up: Who opened that portal? From what I've been told, the power to go through dimensions was lost to both the beings of Veil and the Fade ever since the Tri-War. None in the Material know it and if they had, they would have been taken to join the Vanguard. Thus only those of the Vanguard or Seekers can travel through different realms.
"I should also inform you that I've sense agents of the Divine Gods in this world, though they will give you less trouble than my former comrades have."
That caught my attention. Why in Chaos name would agents of the Divine Gods being doing here? Were they trying to see if they could gain a foot hold here as well? I knew that had to be investigated but there was other stuff to do first.
"The last thing is this: Your friend over there is dying." Miserix said in almost a whisper, while pointing his claw at Wolf, who I notice was rubbing the spot where he was hit.
Concern though careful incase the Makuta was lying, I asked, "How is he dying?"
"He was bitten by a shadow leech, I can sense it, as all Makuta and our Master can." Miserix said calmly. "We use it on beings as a last resort, subdue them permanently to our will. He will either die, go mad or be corrupted and serve the Dark Lord of the Fade."
"How long will it take to take over him and is there even a cure?" I asked. I doubted they would have made a cure, but I bet the former leader of the Makuta would know. Miserix thought for a moment before replying.
"There is, though the others do not know of it. I discovered it eons ago, incase the moment came that they would try to use it on me. The only resource that I require is the substance that the shadow leeches come from. As for how long, hard to say with him. Due to the fact he is a full Firstborn, he might not be feeling its effects right away and it may take a long time for him to be full corrupted, but lets not wait too find out."
I nodded, agreeing with that sentiment. Now all that left was where to get that substance. As though reading my mind (which he probably was) Miserix said, "Fortunately, the Makuta brought a large vat of it to this world when they invaded, to use for rebellious soldiers or the natives of this world. There is a condition thought."
Count on a Makuta to want something in return. "Okay and what is it?" I asked.
"It is guarded and preserved by its two creators, Chirox and Mutran. They are always there, to create more of the creatures. What I want is simple: Bring at least one of their heads."
Something still felt off. "Why are you helping to do this?" I asked. "This is going to stall us from getting your last object and you're helping create an antidote for your own creation, so why do this?"
Miserix let out an amused laugh at my question. "Think about it, this would give you multiple victories. The Shadow leech's existence is unknown to the Council. Such a thing exposed would have them furious. It would also greatly hurt my former comrades if an antidote were created for their ultimate weapon. Also I see it as a way of giving you a better chance of retrieving my last item if there were more of you and one wasn't on the risk of corruption."
Huh, I guess that was a good reason. "Okay so are you going to tell me where it is?" I asked, really wanting to hurry this up.
"It is in a place where I believe that you are familiar with." The large Makuta said. "A place with many creatures for them to do experiments. It's called the Sea of Monsters."
Chad POV:
"Okay so lets see what you can do already." Darius said, once he finished setting up targets.
He along with my other friends, including the Vanguards, Crystal and Uncle Tyson were all at an abandon parking lot, trying to figure out what powers my Sis and I got from our Dad. Hestia was also with us, since she seemed like the only god who the Vanguards were comfortable with.
So far all we got were, I guess you could say, upgrades on our powers we inherited from our god grandparents and I seem to be able to unleash some sort of energy blast or something. Ty says he might have a clue what it is but we just have to try it out to confirm it.
"Alright listen up you varmints." Ty yelled while walking in front of Crystal and me. "Blade's standard powers are simple so we'll focus on those. He can control every element in the universe as well as attach it to himself and turn into those elements. He can also create physical forms out of them, like a sword for example. Your Pop also had super strength, speed, agility, healing, resistance, hearing, seeing and instincts. He can also lift things with his mind and teleport people through areas and dimensions. Speaking of his brain, its protected by any mental attacks and you can't communicate with him unless he wants too. Finally your dad has energy abilities like you do boy, any questions?"
"If those are his standard powers what are his unique ones?" I asked, sort of curious. Okay, actually really curious.
"Well that's easy: The ability to control and manipulate creation, to an extent." Ty said. "Basically, this power was given to him by the big Boss himself, though it was already inside Blade in the beginning. The only reason why he couldn't use it was because he wasn't a full Firstborn, like the first Blade."
Ty blew out a puff of smoke before continuing. "To be specific, Blade can turn any object he focuses into something else entirely. He can even make wind solid. But that's difficult so he doesn't use it all the time. Blade prefers the more low key powers he has and does combo attacks with them and his weapons."
"Surprise he even has the brain cells to do something like that." A voice that sounded rough and rigid said. I groaned knowing who it was, Ares, God of War and Charlie and Selena's grandfather.
But the moment those words came out of his mouth, he had three weapons, held by three pissed off people, pointed at him. We were all shock that the Vanguards would do something so rash. The god's grandkids had their hands on their weapons, ready to help their grandpa.
Ty just stared at the bewildered god before lowering his weapon. Than he said, "A little bit of advice: Don't say anything bad about the boss man or we might forget what we are doing during that time, clear?"
Ares didn't reply, just glared at them as they walked. Lory came up to Crystal and I and whispered. "That guy was radiating with energy. Is he usually that strong?"
I shook my head. "Nah, but with all the battles we had these pass 100 years, he's been getting extra strong with each one. Its good since that means we can send him to the frontlines."
"If we're all done mangling about." Ty stated as he adjusted the stones we would be using for target. "Let's get started shall we?"
For the pass two hours we've been practicing. So far though we've only been able to shoot small blast of other elements but that was it. I decided to try and see if I could do that energy ability. I held my hands out and concentrated, feeling everyone's gaze set on me.
At first I felt nothing, but than I could feel something tingling against my fingers. I look and saw the same color of energy moving around my hands and soon my body. I than try and focus it on hitting the stones.
But before I could fire the shot, someone shouted. "What the hell are you idiots doing?" It sounded like that jerk Mark. The sudden surprise made me lose focus and all of a sudden I landed on the pavement and rolled down a hill. I would've kept rolling if I hadn't slammed into something, which stopped me.
"Gods damn that idiot." I mumbled as I got up and rubbed my back. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't where I was a few seconds ago. Than it hit me: I've must have accidentally teleported myself (and maybe the others) somewhere else.
As I was about to go and search the place I felt a shadow fall upon me, followed by deep, loud breathing. I turned around to see a huge red dragon with grey and black armor staring down at me. His green eyes were gleaming with both great power and curiosity.
"Well, well, well." He said with a growl. "What do we have here?"
