Camping part 2

After the Thalia fiasco nothing eventful happened. The gods had participated in different common demigod activities, archery, canoeing, wall climbing and the like. The place wasn't like Camp half blood, but it was just as fun. That night various foods were placed on tables, pizza, burgers and other foods, for dinner. But instead of sitting on tables they were all seated around the camp fire. The demigods did their offering tradition, to the curiosity of their classmates.

"What are you doing?" asked one of their classmates

"Burning offerings" Annabeth said plainly as Percy had his turn.

Poseidon had felt a little spark of energy after the smoke had faded. It had smelt like sea breeze. Same feeling was felt by the other two gods.

"What for?" another asked Annabeth was still formulating a plan until Nico had saved her

"It's like a tradition" he said "it's part of our religion to offer part of our meal to our parent or relative who had past"

The girl looked like she was going to ask more when Chiron had ring a bell he was bringing around in the beginning of the trip.

"Alright children" he said "it's time for the bonfire. Later tonight, we will have a little treat by the beach courtesy of cabin 9 ad cabin 7 of Delphi Summer Camp. After which, its lights out. So now I believe it's time for the camp fire." the students all started to talk as they headed towards the big campfire Poseidon had caught up with Hades and Zeus who he had lost somewhere in the crowd.

"So bro" he said practically jumping on his brothers' shoulders "still think this isn't fun?"

"Well..."

"Admit it Zeus you had a great time" Hades whispered between the three of them.

"No matter how much you try to convince me I will not admit anything."

"Who said anything about admitting?" Hades asked

"Yeah" Poseidon agreed "all we asked is that did you have fun" He glared t the pair of them causing them to chuckle.

The three gods sat beside each other on the log. One of the campers, an Apollo camper, had brought a guitar and some bongos. They were singing campfire songs and eating s'mores. Zeus, much to his dismay, sat between his brothers who were also out for revenge for that little prank he had caused prior to their little... Arrangement.

The two brothers started to annoy him by singing along and swaying in unison. With Zeus in the middle he was swayed as well. All in all it was a good natured prank. Right before Zeus was at his breaking point the sky started to be lit with fireworks and sparks.

The gods knew that the camp's bonfires and firework displays were always spectacular, but they had never seen it in person before. The sky was decorated with brilliant flashes of light in different shapes and forms. The students and the gods were in awe as the fireworks moved and changed shapes.

One had turned from just an explosion of light to a Pegasus that had flapped its wings and flew off till it had faded. Others were scenes of battle. Hercules, Perseus, and of course the most recent battle of Titans. One with a maze and moving little dots. A mountain with winged horses soaring around the mountain and the last and most spectacular each symbol or picture of the gods were shot in the air. Apollo and Artemis fighting with a monster. Ares and Aphrodite in what looks like a date. Hermes and Hephaestus working together. And the most awe breaking of all.

Three men side by side the middle had his arms around the two's shoulders and the most surprising of them all…they were the Big Three. The three gods were laughing and their eyes were twinkling like the stars. Soon the fireworks faded and the crowd was in applause. Even the gods.

Back in the Room

"That was Amazing!" Lucas exclaimed "How the heck did they do that?"

"I honestly don't know" Percy said climbing up the bunk bed above Poseidon."Cabin seven and nine never cease to amaze anyone. They do this every 4th of July. It's like the Camp's anniversary here or something. "

"Wow how long already?"

"I don't know ten, fifty" Percy said then squinted in frustration "Dude I'm ADHD! Don't expect me to remember every single detail!"

"Sorry man" George said in surrender

"Anyway I think we better go to bed" Hades said looking at the clock it was quarter to twelve already!

"Whatever you say boss" Poseidon said with a fake salute. Zeus gave a chuckle while Hades glared at his brother.

"Do you really have to act like that?"

"YES sir!" Poseidon said lay down smirking everyone in the cabin laughed

"Whatever"

"Anyway!" Percy said avoiding the fight "I think it's time for lights out"

"WOW" Lucas said "Percy being responsible? IT'S THE APOCALYPS!"

"Really funny Lu" Percy said "who knows what time we are going to be forced up and knowing Clarisse she might send one of her very violent brothers after us so we need to get some sleep before that happens"

"Whatever you say boss" George said close to laughing Percy rolled his eyes then closed the lights.

"GOOD NIGHT GUYS!"

"RISE AND SHINE EVERYBODY!" A girl's voice echoed into the room. She had brown hair, blue eyes and was wearing an orange shirt with a Pegasus and a pair of jeans. All the boys in the room were still in deep sleep. The nine year old girl searched for a familiar face. Once she had found Percy at the top bunk, she climbed the ladder and went to hang by the rails in such a way that her face was right in front of him.

"PERCY!" she said the boy opened his eyes and screamed jumping up while she moved out of the way. His girlish scream caused everyone to wake up.

"Wah?" Lucas said with a raspy voice "What happened?"

"I don't know a girlish scream" George said his hair sticking out all over the place.

"Good you're all awake!" said the little girl causing all the boys to jump

"Andy, what are you doing here?" Percy asked jumping down from the bunk in his undershirt and shorts.

"Oh Annabeth needed to do something for capture the flag, so she told Will to wake you guys. But will was busy and so are the rest of my brothers and sisters so he told me to come and wake you guys up." She said in a rush "So basically Annie told Will and Will told me to wake you guys up!"

"Great kid can you go now" Hades said he grumbled clearly not happy with being woken up early in the morning.

"Yes but I have to say that unless you want that hair to stay green forever you would want to be a little nicer" she said leaving Hades dumbfounded as he looked for something reflective. She grabbed a mirror from her pocket and showed it to him. His hair was as green as a python. He, like Percy, also let out a scream.

"URG DUDE WERE ALREADY AWAKE DON'T NEED AN ALARM CLOCK!"

"Who did this!"

"Did what?" Zeus asked then looked down from his bed and nearly fell off from laughing. All the others were also laughing their heads off.

"So do you want my help or not."

"NO I DON'T NEED HELP FROM A GODLING!" he exclaimed not realizing that he said it in Greek. His brothers, Percy and Andy heard what and understood what he had said while the two didn't understand what he said.

Andy who was in the verge of tears just took a deep breath and faced Percy. "Anyway," she said her voice cracking. "You are needed in the big house and tell the jerk that he could forget about remove his hair and I hope he is happy looking like a deranged clown." Then she ran off crying.

"Bro, I know you can be mean." Zeus said "but I didn't know that you could be that mean"

"Why what did he say?" George asked

"He basically insulted the little girl from helping him" Percy replied

"I did not!" Hades defended "I just told her I didn't need her help"

"Yeah but she's nine" Percy replied "She will think that is an insult."

"But I just didn't want her help!"

"Yes but to a nine year old whatever you might've said could've hurt her" Lucas said "I have a little sister she acts like that a lot"

"Anyways I have to go" Percy said finished changing for the day "But Matt I have to warn you, you might want to wear some armor and steer clear of archery for a while…you know what you might want to avoid Will and any cost."

"Why?"

"That" Percy said motioning to the opened door "was his little sister. Not just his little sister actually she's like the youngest in their cabin so their very protective of her. So unless you want to become a shish kebab, I suggest you do just that. And for the hair I suggest the Stolls they would know what to do. Anyway… come on time for breakfast!"

"Okay which of you two did it?" Hades said they were all around the camp fire they were just hanging around till they need to go to sword fighting later.

"What do you mean?" Zeus asked

"You know what I mean!" Hades said angrily he had managed to get the cure for the hair from the Stolls who were both laughing their heads off by the sight.

"No I don't think I do" Poseidon said Hades got mad and pressed something on Zeus neck that was beside him

"OWW" Zeus exclaimed "That hurts! Let go of me!"

"Not till you tell me who did it"

"It wasn't me! It was Poseidon!" Zeus said in panic. Hades released him and glared at his brother. Who gulped at his brother's expression. Hades went over to him and grabbed him by the ear and started to pull him toward their cabin.

"Hey, Bro that hurts!" he exclaimed "I think this is counted as child abuse!"

"I don't think you're counted as a chil..." Chiron coughed from behind them.

"Hello boys what are you two doing?"

"HELP ME MR. BRUNNER! HE's GOING TO MURDER ME!"

"No I'm not you idiot" he said pinching his brother's ear harder

"Unhand me!"

"Fine then" he gave his brother one more pinch then pushed him making him stumble and land on the floor.

"Yeah, very gentle bro."

"Anyway. I believe you two have another brother?" he asked then the two nodded "well I would like to have a little….chat"

"Uh sure, sir"

Chiron and the three gods were alone in the living room of the Big House.

"So Sirs may I ask what happened?" Chiron said

The gods were all looking at him dumbfounded "You know who we are"

"Um yes. Your eyes are a dead giveaway as well as the part Will reported to me that you had a little argument with his little sister. Something about calling screaming at her, and I quote 'he's a big fat meanie and he called me a gosling'. We thought she said godling but she was crying so hard."

"Um yeah…" Zeus said sheepishly "Well our sisters wanted to, I quote "You three were acting like children if you wanted like children you might as well be like children" so the three of them turned us into mortals. To 'try to get along' but you can see where that got us" he motioned to his two brothers who were still glaring at each other.

"I can see that" Chiron said "Do your children know?"

"No" Poseidon said "I think it would be weirder telling them that their parents going to school with them."

"Yeah best keep it a secret" Hades said

"Whatever you say my lords. Anyway Lord Hades I might want to wear some armor if I were you"

"Why do you people keep saying that?"

"Because my lord," Chiron said "Will, Apollo's Son, is the most over protective counselor of all of them. He could turn anyone into a shish kebab if they hurt his brothers or sisters. He's worse than Percy He may be just be a demigod but I have seen the boy turn a hellhound into a shish kebab for trying to hurt their sister and her other siblings aren't much different. She's the youngest if Apollo's children and they tend to be...overprotective."

"I am not afraid of some godling" Hades said

Chiron raised his hands in defeat "just a warning my lord" he said "so I presume I don't tell your three children"

"You presumed correctly" Zeus said

"As you wish" Chiron said "but no I believe that you three have a sword fighting class to attend"

Percy was pacing in the arena as the students filled in. Once all the kids were in the arena, Percy stood in front with Riptide in his hand. He cleared his throat and everyone looked at him.

"Alright good morning everyone" he said "As you know I am Percy Jackson. And I hate the freaking formalities but Annie will kick my butt if I don't do this. Um... Right everyone grab a sword and we'll start"

Everyone awkwardly listened to their classmate/teacher. Once they found a sword that felt a bit balanced they all returned to Percy some playing around with their swords others were timid and kept it as far away from them as possible.

"Alright guys I want. Everyone to form a semicircle." once they did Percy started to teach them basic slashes and swings. Then called for a demo partner. Nico, who was getting sick and angry at his cabin mates, saw this as an opportunity to let go if some tension. "Alright guys an old friend of mine showed me this trick before he...left" all the demigods in the session looked down in memory of him.

"Anyway!" he said making everyone jump "thus technique is used by some of the most skilled swords man. The key is to twist your blade and disarming your opponent. It had been used on me before and it's quite difficult. It is both a great defense and a great offence. "

"Yeah don't need to get all big headed couz" Nico smirked "Now show me what you got and don't hold back."

"Yeah right I taught you what you know, Little Cousin" Percy said as they circled each other the entire group was at the edge of their seat waiting to see what would happen.

Nico scoffed "Yeah right I believe it was one of dad's …workers that taught me that time." The two gods looked at Hades curious. Hades himself was confused and thought back. When it had come to him he mouthed to his brothers 'Midas'. The two nodded in recognition as they watched their sons/nephews engage in a fight. Percy was the first to move. He charged at Nico who easily blocked it with his sword. They had it at each other with all they got. Percy even swiped his sword nearly beheading Nico, but he had managed to spin in a matrix totally missing the sword. Once he got back to his stance the two cousins looked at each other in a short pause then went back to the demonstration. Nico had managed to get contact with the hilt of Percy's sword. With one mighty twist, he jerked Riptide off his cousin and pointed his own sword at Percy's neck.

"Who's the little cousin now, Little Cousin?"

Percy did the unexpected. He did a back flip kicking off Nico's sword. Being caught off guard, Nico stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

"Still you" Percy said smirking as he helped his cousin back to his feet. "Alright I want everyone to form pairs we'll have some practice battles.

Unfortunate for Poseidon, he had gotten Hades for his partner. Hades, however, saw this as a chance for revenge. They had both gotten into it head on. Thought Hades did more offence than was necessary. Poseidon had stumbled backwards and fell as his sword skidded away from him. Poseidon isn't used to using a sword so his skills were a bit rusted compared to Hades who had a sword. Hades was about to declare his win when someone had interfered. Hades was soon face to face with Zeus.

They had engaged into battle. They struck and blocked like true swordsmen. Once he had gotten his bearing Poseidon was back on his feet in aid of his brother. It was two against one. But it wasn't a problem for Hades. He twisted back and forth as his two brothers attacked. Everyone had stopped what they were doing and were watching the three in awe. They actually thought that the three were again fighting, but in truth they were having the time of their lives. An experience for Demigods to understand. Zeus and Poseidon looked at each other and smiled. Together they had disarmed their brother and pointed at their brother's neck declaring victory.

The two high fived at their victory. "Point two for the youngests!"

The demigods of the group were in awe. The three had fought just as good as gods. Annabeth was standing right beside Percy with an expression of thought.

"What are you thinking Annabeth?" Percy said

"I think I want you guys in my team at Capture the Flag"

"I'm always at your team"
