Once Nico and Ally finish their spar they all head back and the half-bloods takes turns cleaning up for the day and the teens walk Percy to school, Ally was finished for the year, Amelia had called Ally's father and arranged for a transfer for the next school year. So Ally would be hanging with Nico for the day while Percy still had to do things. While the teens were building booths and other stuff for the school festival Ally is trying to avoid male attention.
They only backed down when Nico sent them a glare. Ally pretends to not notice this as she paints back drops for the play, and didn't get a single drop of paint on her. However Nico did end up with paint on him. Once school has let out they head back to change into their swim suits and go surfing, although in Ally's case she was just going to sun bathe, though since they sent Percy on ahead they both curse upon seeing Thalia Grace and Luke. " What are you doing, Nico? "
Both Ally and Luke ignore the arguing Big Three children until they notice a commotion down the beach, Ally curses and jumps down to the sand, " Nico, we got problems. "
The nimble footed child of Nemesis tackles the burly Ares child and focuses on her, " Percy, get in the water. " Ally orders as draws her sword and battles Clarisse, she also enhances Percy's strength and control with the water. Tatsuya had given them all an early warning system that would allow him to know if they were in danger. She'd been able to read the symbol, unlike Nico and Percy. Nico was fighting Charles Beckendorf, Hephaestus child and Luke, Hermes child. Ally not only had Clarisse to deal with, she also had the temperamental daughter of Zeus to deal with.
The girls try their best to get past Ally and the guys do the same with Nico, it was only when Percy collapsed and Nico forgets about his fight to check on him. Ally disengages her opponents and deflects Luke's strike, " Nico, I got this, get Percy out of here. We both know his adoptive father won't allow him to go to camp. "
" I'll be back, Ally. " Nico says and picks Percy up, only to be cut off by the others.
Ally snarls at this and switches her sword out for katanas, needing the reach of the katanas and the capability to wield two weapons, " Nico, disrupt their footing, I can easily handle all four of them. "
Clarisse snarls, " Yeah right, girl, if you get nailed by my spear or Thalia's lightning strikes you're finished. "
" Good thing my weapons don't conduct electricity, huh? " Ally quips. Nico sits Percy down as he grabs his sword, in order to help Ally, but then decides he would only deal with the strikes that got past her. When a slash nails him and both he and Percy are in trouble the symbol that Tatsuya had given them glows. Ally enters melee mode and drives them all back. She only stops when a wave crashes over them, announcing Tatsuya's arrival. She collapses back into Nico, the son of Hades catching her. Tatsuya delivers his ultimatum and they all head home. Ally attacking the cookies Amelia had in the house, needing to restore her energy desperately, entering melee mode always tired her out.
Nico mixes up some chocolate milk for her and Ally down the first glass in seconds, holding the glass out to demand more. Nico grumbles under his breath but complies with this, knowing that Ally always needed a lot of junk type foods and chocolate milk after she went into melee mode. " Thanks, Nico, you didn't do bad against Luke and Beckendorf. Percy did good as well, though we'll need to work on his endurance. Having him do katas while controlling water should help with that easily enough. "
Percy groans as he comes to and hears this, " Gee, thanks for that, Ally. "
" Seriously, you make tendrils of water twine around you while you perform a kata, and when you get good enough, even without hand motions you can make those tendrils attack or defend. Did you notice how your control and attack strength was greater? " Ally says.
" I did, why? "
" The moon controls the tides, Percy, so naturally I gave you all the help I could, I had no choice if I wanted to give all three of us a fighting chance. I actually have a kata that will work for you quite nicely. " Ally says.
" Is it the one where you bend the shadows around yourself, the one that you've been teaching Evan? " Nico asks.
Ally smirks, " Actually yes it is, the principles are remarkably similar. "
Camp Half Blood:
The Hecate campers are all enraged at what had happened and Reiko Marasura couldn't go anywhere without getting pranked by either the Stoll's or the Demeter Twins. Not to mention the entire Nemesis cabin had practically declared war on the Hecate cabin for what she had done to Dare. With Travis, Connor, Noah, and Elijah all pooling their pranking talents together the Hecate cabin was in serious trouble. Especially when the Nemesis cabin was throwing in with the chief camp pranksters. The Ares cabin was breathing easier for now, as they had been let off the hook while the camp pranksters set their sights on the Hecate campers.
Josh shakes his head as he watches the four plot and plan together, " Just be careful, they will get even. "
Travis snorts, " We've got the Nemesis campers at our backs, they won't be able to retaliate without Evan striking back. "
" Plus, it gives us an opportunity to practice our plant concoctions. " Noah states.
Zacharia, the camp magician and Aphrodite son walks over, " Count me in, no one should send a toddler to the Underworld. Plus, Ally is the only girl at this camp that Nico is comfortable around. I may not have been here to protect him from Bianca's outburst but by Zeus I will help keep the Hecate campers in line. Should be fun. "
Josh grins at this, " For once I am looking forward to the havoc all five of you can wreak, just don't turn it on me. "
" Of course we won't, Joshy. " Zacharia says.
Luke returns to camp looking sour, along with Thalia, Clarisse, and Beckendorf. Luke walks over to the powwow of pranksters, " Our mission is to now only observe Percy, orders of the Olympians. "
Josh smirks, " Let me guess, you all got your asses handed to you by Ally. "
Luke winces, " Actually, yes, we did. Though I can't say anything more. I forgot what she can do when backed into a corner. "
Josh grins, " She's the only one here who's better with a sword than you are and she learned all of hers skills before she ever came to camp, face it, if Ally's with Nico, and you know she won't be here without him here, then we won't be bringing them here by force. "
" I know, Ally is a one woman demolition force when pushed. I just sincerely hope that those three will be okay 'cause both of them are with Percy. I honestly don't know what Ally and Nico are thinking. They're safer here. " Luke mutters.
" Not true, brother dear. Ally's safest wherever Nico is as she gets tormented by the Hecate kids, and she's had the furies after her since she was seven. " Connor points out.
" All three Kindly Ones after her for seven years, ouch, all right, so maybe Ally is safer with Nico. " Luke says.
" Of course she is. Nico would do anything to keep her safe. " Zacharia says, being an Aphrodite child had its perks, he knew that Nico and Ally were meant to be, and he also knew he would do everything in his power to safeguard that particular relationship. Getting Joshy out of denial however, was another thing entirely.
Thalia Grace is grumbling under her breath about the fact that she got held off by a Nemesis child, and hadn't even made a dent in her defenses. Luke had been the one to wound Nico, and quite frankly Thalia was surprised Luke hadn't ended up with several broken appendages for that act alone. Ally did not tolerate anyone hurting Nico, even Thalia knew better than to hurt Nico in any way. Bianca had best be grateful that Ally hadn't been in camp when the argument had gone down or she would have been in the infirmary for a week.
Ally Mason was not one that you took lightly, as she had various ways of seeking vengeance, she had even helped the Stoll brothers with their pranks several times, and they were ingenious. Apparently Ally normally dealt out vengeance through pranks, or even worse, public humiliation. Drew, the obnoxious Aphrodite camper learned that the hard way, though no one could ever prove that Ally had done it. Drew had been dumped in the middle of the camp with no clothes on and to her mortification her head had been shaved entirely.
After that no one had done anything to Ally or those she cared about except for the Hecate campers. Clarisse just tried to kick Ally's ass, as even she didn't want to be on the wrong end of Ally's vengeance. Even Mr. D tread carefully around the Nemesis daughter, preferring to keep her happy, which meant letting her set her own schedule. Not even the cleaning harpies messed with Ally, that's just how it was.
600th Floor, Empire State Building:
The gods were still discussing what they'd been told moments earlier by Clarisse, Luke, Beckendorf, and Thalia. " Ally trusts this dragon god, which means she must be acquainted with him from her time as Usagi. " Athena says.
" I concur with that assessment. Percy is in good hands Poseidon. " Hera says.
" All right, have any of you figured out whom will replace the Inners? " Hestia asks.
" I've actually chosen Zacharia. " Aphrodite says.
Hermes smirks, " Good choice, nothing said the senshi had to be female. I chose Kiley Stoll as Sailor Mercury, yes, she is Connor and Travis' younger sister, it's just she hasn't actually gone to camp yet. "
" Are you insane? " Athena demands.
" She's too wily for the monsters. " Hermes replies.
Zeus groans, " My Jupiter aspect has a son, Jason Grace, he will be perfect, it's just he needs a few more years before he can truly take up the mantle. "
Ares sighs, " I'm still working on it, I may have to do some bargaining with Bellona to borrow Reyna. That girl may be the only one worthy of taking on the mantle of the Mars Senshi. "
Apollo sighs, " I'd be willing to let you look through my daughters as the Mars Senshi is also an archer. "
Artemis looks at them, " I would gladly extend special duties to one of my hunters for the Moon Princess, allowing one of my hunters the right to seek a male to carry on the line. "
Ares nods, " All right, I'll look through Apollo's daughters first. Another gift of the Mars Senshi is precognition, and the Apollo kids would fit that as well. "
Kazuki Residence:
Ally has started to teach Percy the forms of the kata he would be using to increase his stamina and powers. Once he has it mastered in slow mo she has him speed it up until he's going through it in seconds, " Practice this five times a day without water and twice with. "
Percy groans but starts on his new training regime, Nico groans as he goes through it as well, bending the shadows around him. It was an excellent workout and no one ever suspected that he could manipulate the shadows even better than he let on. Everyone knew he could travel through them, but not use them to fight. With the kata Ally had him do he could use the shadows to fight as well, and he would have to start trying to manipulate sand in the same way. Nico wanted to be far stronger if and when he ever went back to camp.
He couldn't allow himself to be unable to protect Percy and Ally. Plus, he would never forgive himself if anything happened to Amelia. Ally puts some music on and starts to go through her latest dance routine that she'd been taught. The Nemesis daughter allows herself to go with the flow of the music, completely relaxing. Tatsuya watches her intently and realizes her father had given her every opportunity to learn how to defend herself. Dance lessons went a long way towards learning how to weave through opponents and their weapons.
As Ally launches into another dance routine Nico and Percy both get the idea to have her dance to the song they were going to play for the talent show. As Ally loses herself in the music Amelia comes home and watches the teenager go through dance routine after dance routine. Ally had some serious talent as a dancer and Amelia had already seen to it that her dance lessons would continue. Her father had agreed to continue to pay for them.
