Hey guys! Sorry for the long delay in between the last chapter and this one! If you read the new summary you'd know I have decided that Zoe will be the one that Scipio will get with. Sorry to those who wanted someone else, but Bianca will get with Malcolm and I have a romance arranged for Calypso too, so please carry on reading and enjoy!

A new segment I'm adding too, I'm gonna recommend good Fanfics I've read, my personal opinion.

So this week, the story is…. Percy Jackson the rising! By barclayteo

And without further ado…..


Chapter 5: The Agency

3rd person POV

On the shores of Ogygia, a boy, no older than 16, was working alone on the beach, in his hand was a wrench he was using to Tighten a bolt on some kind of box on a base. Moments later he stood straight and fished a remote control out of his pocket, flicking a switch on it. He smirked as the box sparked to life. The box rose into the air revealing a support beam below, and two portions opened up and conjoined at the sides. Two large gun barrels emerged from the new opening and the two separated portions opened up several holes, revealing a pair of missile turrets.

"Sentinel defender, code number 01-231, Ogygia Sector number 231, online and fully operational." Came a mechanical voice echoing from the turret.

The boy smirked. "Two hundred and thirty-one down, nineteen more to go…." He muttered. He turned and took a look at the row of turrets built and took a minute to admire his handiwork. He threw the wrench back into his toolbox and picked it up. He then began to walk further down the beach, where another set of metal and electronics awaited him. He looked at his watch.

'4.30 pm,' he thought. ' At this rate I should be done by dinner.'

With that thought he returned to work.

Percy's POV

I looked around.

'I should have attached all these metal boxes to the locations that Scipio specified' I thought. I was underwater at the shoreline of the island Ogygia. I know what you're probably thinking, that no one is able to see Ogygia twice. If you're wondering how I got back, it was because Scipio apparently has an alliance with Calypso, whose Island is now fully her domain and she has agreed to allow us to set up our new headquarters on her island. But not undefended of course. Scipio has been working non-stop for the past few weeks, building defence mechanisms for the island. He didn't ask for much help from us and I personally don't blame him, we had next to zero knowledge on how mechanics work, it was more of a child of Hephaestus thing. But even so demigods have barely and knowledge on electronics, most of the time it sends a beacon out to every monster in a fifty mile radius saying, "HEY! TASTY DEMIGOD HERE! COME AND EAT ME!" But apparently with our newly obtained powers and abilities, we have been purged of that small problem, so now we are free to use as many electronics as we want. Pretty unfair to the rest if you ask me, but hey, doing this job has gotta have it's perks right?

Anyway, I sent a message to Scipio on the overworld through our new uplink system, the UDCG, or United Demigod Connection Grid. You see, last week Scipio built a satellite with the help of Nico, Thalia and I and later sent it up into space. It created a free internet and phone connectivity for all demigods and also worked our personal communication system, but more importantly, it accessed all security cameras, cameras, video cameras or any recording device activated and operational and applied a mist filter to reveal monsters and demigods so we could intervene when necessary, saving demigods from a bloody fate in a monsters digestive track.

"All the sentries are in place bro." I said through the waterproof earpiece.

"Stand back then, things are about to get awesome!" he replied.

I willed the water to pull me back away from the shore area. And as I did that, all the boxes sparked to life. They all opened up and re assembled, the large middle parts reattached revealing a set of torpedoes for each unit. "Looking good down there Perce?" he asked.

"W-wow, yeah, I guess all the sentries are set up…" I replied, still quite in shock at the show I had just witnessed.

"Then come on back up when you feel like it bro." he said, then the line cut off. I sighed. I still had plenty to learn about electronics….

3rd Person POV

Unknown location

"What is the meaning of this Polybotes? You mean to tell me the son of Poseidon has disappeared from our search parties?" a figure screamed.

The giant, in all his glory, flinched at the sound of her voice. "I-I Don't know how mother! He just disappeared!" Gaea glared at her son. "You insolent fool! Do you know how much of a threat that boy poses to our plans? If we do not kill him –"

"Relax Gaea…" the being cooed as she stepped out of the shadows. She had curves that could rival Aphrodite, not to mention all she was wearing was a metal plated bra and a short chain mail skirt. She had long, wavy black hair and set of perky lips. But the only thing that affected the image was the presence of a pair of bat-like wings on her back and the fact that her eyes were dark crimson. As she spoke, the amount of power flowing in her charmspeak overwhelmed the air around her. "The boy Jackson is also missing to the gods, you need not worry about him…"

"Yes….of course….." Gaea spoke, almost as if in a trance. Polybotes took a step back, clearly intimidated by the new figure. His eyes widened as a red crimson crack appeared in the air, and shattered, revealing a wall of flame, but burining far brighter was a pair of eyes that gazed through at the woman, who was scarily attractive.

"Return Lilith, you are needed, only you and Belial have yet to return….." the voice spoke.

"Yes master," Lilith replied. She turned and was engulfed in flame, leaving behind nothing but the scent of ashes.

Ogygia

Percy's POV

"Hey Nico, Hey Thals." I said as I walked into the living room.

Our new home was built in the centre of Ogygia. This Island had truly become our new headquarters. There was a massive underground system build under the island, and that was in addition to the already massive building above ground. It tower at the level of twenty floors above sea level. The building itself had many facilities, an arena, a training room, a stable, a council room, an arcade, a pub (not that we actually use it), a defence control room, the hall of Union even a swimming pool. On top of a natural volcanic spring.

The Island itself was well defended. The two hundred and fifty new sentinel turrets that Scipio installed shoot bullets and missiles made of an alloy of mortal adamantium, Celestial bronze, Nordic Uru metal and enchanted by Egyptian magic. The missiles and Torpedoes underwater had a centre filled with Uranium, Greek fire, unstable rune stones and an Egyptian Ha-Di (Destroy) charm. If these weapons weren't enough, there was an electro- magnetic field around the island that would disable anything trying to pry into our island, it also had reactors stationed all around, if a hostile craft entered our area, it would be frozen, shattered, electrocuted, then thawed out just for good measure. A magic field kept all deities and gods out. Along with any titans and monsters, minus the invoked elementals that serve us. And if all else failed, we had an army of over three hundred nature spirits serving us in the island, and of course there were us four to fight as well. So all in all, we didn't have to worry about anything.

Both Nico and Thalia looked at me and smiled. I joined them on the couch where they were watching a movie called "The Hunger Games". I watched with them for a few minutes and finally a weird thought came to my mind. "Hey, didn't Scipio say that he visited a world like this?" I asked.

Nico and Thalia looked at each other as realisation struck them. He did say that. When we first met him he said that Katniss Everdeen was one of the greatest heroes of our generation. "Hey, wait. So you think that this story and movie we're watching is all true?" Thalia asked.

"Yes. Though the actual situation was more dramatic, this movie and those books are pretty accurate to what unfolded in Panem in the alternate universe."

The three of us turned around. There was Scipio. No. Siegfried standing in the hallway in full battle regalia. In his left hand was a canister of some sort, it looked vacuum sealed and reinforced with layers of protection. In his right hand was aa sack that was slung over his shoulder.

"W-Where are you going bro?" Nico asked.

"Olympus, I am going to deliver a warning." He replied.

"Then let us come too! We can help!" I said as I sprang to my feet. Nico and Thalia nodded in agreement.

"It's a full council meeting. Artemis will be there. As will Hades. And Persephone." He replied. Both Nico and Thalia flinched. I knew it was because of these two gods that they were in this current position in the first place. Nico had been cast out by Persephone who had support from a reluctant Hades who only sought to keep his wife and protect his son. While Thalia had been at the receiving end of the pride of Artemis. "And Percy." He said turning to me. "Annabeth and Gabriel will be there. And I know for a fact that you three do NOT want to face them yet."

He had a solid argument. I wanted to argue back, say that I was okay now. But deep down I knew I wasn't ready yet. I reluctantly sat back down and looked away.

"Enjoy your simple training and relaxation time now," he said as he turned away. "You will have no choice but to go back soon enough."

Siegfried was engulfed with a bright light and before we could blink, he was gone.

3rd person POV

Olympus

The council room was filling up, minor gods and Olympians alike were taking their respective places in the throne room. Apollo flashed in listening to his iPod. Followed by Hermes who showed up eating some Shwarma. Zeus melodramatically flashed in with lightning and thunder which made Hera roll her eyes at him. As the cabin leader from camp half blood took their seats at the side of the room, Zeus stood up from his throne.

"I call this meeting to order!" he thundered. Everyone was instantly silenced as their king spoke, knowing full well the danger of the recent events. But his serious expression shifted to one of sadness as he asked his next question. "Can anyone give me any news on the missing Thalia Grace, Nico Di Angelo and Percy Jackson?"

The question shocked most of the people/immortals. But a few knew that he indeed had great love for his daughter Thalia, and fewer knew the grudging respect he held for the other two nephews of his. "No answer?" he asked. The hall remained silent. "I thought as much…" he said as he let out a sigh. Poseidon kept a blank face, but anyone could guess how much me missed his favourite demigod son.

Composing himself he once again asked a question addressed to all those present. "And on to other matters, what is the news on the giants?" he shouted out to the hall.

Artemis stood. "My hunters and I have started to encounter Earthborn beasts recently, I would believe that means Gaia is involved with this." That pulled a lot of gasps from around the room. Artemis took her seat.

Zeus looked disturbed. "And what of the Giants? Which have risen and which have yet to rise? And what of the progress of the formation of Alyoncleus?"

Apollo stood, "Hermes and I have been scouting the planet and it appears that the giants have a very good hiding spot, for we were unable to find any traces of them anywhere." He sighed and took his seat.

Zeus looked frustrated and shouted out loud. "DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ON THE GIANTS?" The hall fell silent for a period of time. Mortals and Immortals alike looked at each other in fear and anticipation. Zeus sighed. He had almost given up hope when someone finally spoke.

"I believe I might be able to help you with that." A voice spoke. From behind a pillar at the door flew out a metal canister that landed on the council table. The canister turned and opened up to reveal several separate items. A small vial, a rock-like object that had jewels on it and a rusted imperial gold sword with a few inscriptions on it. Siegfried stepped out of the shadows and gestured to the items on the table. "Who are y-", Zeus began, but got cut off. "That," he said, gesturing at the rock-like object. "Is something you are probably all very familiar with. Athena, if you would take a closer look."

Athena directed a glare at Siegfried but obliged his request. Her glare soon turned into a look of fear. "90% dragon scales… 9% gems…." She said. "1%," she paused. "1% golden Ichor…" she finished. Zeus stood utterly shocked. "That mean Alyoncleus is almost reformed… how did you get this, intruder?"

Siegfried ignored him. "In the vial if you will check is toxin from the glands of Polybotes, Poseidon's nemesis. And that sword, if you will read the inscription, was wielded by a member of the original legions that engaged Porphyrion alongside the gods." He said, gesturing to the sword and the vial. Hephaestus and Poseidon checked the sword and toxin respectively and simply looked in the direction of Zeus and nodded. Zeus turned back to Siegfried and shouted again. "How did you obtain this stranger? And who are you?"

Siegfried turned away from the council of the gods. "I simply took them from the giants, it was little difficulty doing that," he said earning a few glared from the gods. "And I am, Siegfried, the justifying. Remember that."

"Just how strong are you?" Zeus demanded. "You will not deny the king of the gods this knowledge!"

Siegfried smirked as he neared the door. "Cocky as they say Zeus, you really do live up to your reputation." He then proceeded to throw the sack he held onto the council table and walked out, leaving a raging Zeus glaring in his direction. The bag opened as it hit the table and its contents spewed out. Zeus' eyes widened in fear, as did the rest of the gods and mortals.

For from the bag rolled out the heads of the Chimera, Echidna and the giants Thoon and Clytius.


And there is my new chapter! If you think this story is too centric on Scipio, just wait, for now he is simply letting percy and co. get some recovery time from their issues, they'll get some action soon enough.

And I apologise for my inconsistent updates. I just happen to be busy at school and working on a book I'm trying to get published. It's about five legendary beast rider clans in modern day, wish me luck Also, please remember my favourite R's, Read, Review and Recommend!
