Hey, so sorry I didn't post when I said I was going to. I wish I could have posted this sooner, but school and professors really hate me.
That, and I couldn't see out of my right eye for a week, so I could not write or do anything involving words or a screen for that entire week. But I am better now… so I will give you a long chapter.
Anyway, enough of my bitching. On to the disclaimer and the chapter.
I don't own PJO, HoO, anything from that universe, or your characters. I only own ZoO and anything I originally made.
I scroll through pages of blueprints on Annabeth's laptop, seeing what I could use to make use so I could preserve the memory of her in the zoo. I did find a few ways of creating a fire proof, acid proof, and extremely large body proof glass, but apparently it is not bullet proof. As I scroll through memory lane on her laptop, I hear the beating of wings and a battle cry. I look up to see that five pegasus are riding toward me. On their backs, I see a pair of campers for each pegasus.
I stand up, getting ready to greet them but I feel like something is off. I look to them, and notice their weapons. I should expect a few because of protection from monsters, but they are carrying enough weapons to fight a Titan with their legion of ten, then they are in full battle armor. I look up at them confused. Then I realize why the were there when the arrow entered my arm.
I look up and see they are not wearing the classic orange or purple, but instead they are wearing a yellow color with a gold lining. I grab the arrow and break off enough of it so I could fight, but left enough so I could take it out later. As soon as the pegasus's hooves touch the earth, the small platoon of unknown warriors surround me. One with a small skinny gold cape marches up to me, a scowl added to a permanent sneer that is always on Ares kids faces.
"Damn traitor," he spits, a hint of blood lust in his voice. "You are going to take in monsters that killed us like lost puppies to what, help us? NO! They would rather kill us and pick our bones out of their teeth!"
I sigh, and look him in the eye as I draw Riptide, its bronze blade with the engravings glowing dully in the sun light.
"I don't want to fight you." I say as calmly as I can when there are three spears poking your back.
"Well, that's a pity for you because I want your head on a pike. Kill him." Barks the Spawn of War. Then one of the lackies comes up to my, sword raised to chop downward and cleave my skull. I deflect the blow, then draw a dagger I got from Thalia that she got for a spoil of war and plunged the crude bronze blade into the chink in his armor around his neck. Then I spin Riptide into an icepick grip and spin around and plunge the point of my sword through the back plate of his armor into his back and out his gut. I pull blades out with one smooth motion and turn to the others. Three spear men, five swordsmen including the guy in charge, and an archer are staring at me as I ruthlessly killed their comrade.
I waste no time in throwing the dagger into their bow man's throat, killing him in seconds. Then I bring down my sword onto a spear just above the bronze head, making the once threatening weapon a piece of polished firewood then bash him in the face with the flat of my blade. I use my momentum and swing at one of the other unknown demigods, cutting a long gash into his chest and knocking him to the ground.
"What are you doing standing their! Kill the traitor!" Screams the leader, fear behind eyes hidden in his helmet. The two spearmen circle me and nod to each other and trust at the same time. I leap back and watch them thrust onward at each other. One of them gets caught in the chest and the other in the gut. The warrior who was stabbed in the chest falls over dead, while his comrade yells out in pain. I silence him by hammering his helmet with the pommel of Riptide, knocking him out.
The captain barks an order, and two of the men he has left charge me. I concentrate and I summon an earthquake that starts making the area shakes greatly and makes everything but three things stumble in sight, the monument of Annabeth, the waterfall with a wave of water flowing toward the other two guys, and Me. I charge forward, and trip one guy and throw the other who is dazed on top of his buddy and stab them both at once through their chests.
I look up to see the leader rushing at me, and I know his strike will make its mark weather I block or not. Unless a tank sized demon dog which is being ridden by an Anti-Ghostbuster who has a sword intervenes. I silently thank Hades that Nico came charging in with Mrs. O'leary and made a pissed demigod pancake.
A sudden 'You're welcome' Enters my mind, followed by a curse after I saw Persephone naked. I wouldn't be surprised if a full immortal child of the god of the dead and the flower goddess comes about in say 8 to 9 months.
"AQUAMAN!" Yells Nico, with the other five demigods that I didn't kill in chains or in two of the cases, on Mrs. O'leary's back bandaged up, "Thanks for taking care of these rogues for me, It's my last job for Camp before I leave to join you." He beams, obviously wanting to help me out. Mostly because I found a picture for a few statues for some dead hunters Annabeth knew, and one was Binca. He nearly begged me to put it up if he joined. I accepted, saying I would have done so if he joined or not. Hey, all demigods that have died around me should be remembered forever as the heros they were for helping me.
"Thanks and how about the others? Did they take the news well?" I inquire. Hey, not to be desperate, but I kind of want Thalia, Clarisse, Chris, Malcolm, Leo, the Stolls, Katie, and Tyson part of this inner circle stuff.
Nico gets a slightly sly grin on his face "Everyone accepted, and asked a few extras to come along. They are being brought in Katie's Car, Leo's Dragon, and Chris's Pickup. There is about fifteen others total." He says, then goes grim, "The entire camp knows, and split into separate groups. These rogues are extremists of the small of the factions that want you dead. The largest is the veterans of the Titan war and a few of your larger fans that kind of respect your insane judgement, to a degree. The last group likes you, but doesn't think you can pull this off or doesn't want you you to pull it off. Butch is leading the last group, and Sherman is the leader of the group that wants you dead, while Will leads the group that supports you." He breaths out at the end of his speech.
"Correction," says a voice from behind Nico "We are here Death Breath."
Who is behind Nico? Why did these people come? And why did a group of people get formed to kill Percy like he was Adolf Hitler. You will have to find out in a week, because of school and stuff. Again, I need characters. I don't care who they are as long as they are a demigod that is of the Greek or Roman Pantheon. No norse, titan, or primordial demigods… yet. But seriously, I do need those characters or this will not get that far.
So lend me a hand here and tell me anything for a character. It can be anything as basic as a name and a godly parent to a full down description of the person and their entire backstory. I don't care. But seriously, just get me the characters and I get you the story. Sounds fair right?
