A/N: Thanks for the name suggestions! I honestly can't think of names by myself. Last time I looked on one of those "name your baby" sites on the internet and my parents asked me a bunch of questions ^_^ long story short, I will never use the internet for names. You really saved me another talk on pregnancy.

Instead of being put in a small steel cell with my friends, I was sent to sit in a dark room made to fit a few people. Inside were two metal chairs, a metal table, and metal handcuffs. The men who were "escorting" me pushed me down on the chair and handcuffed me. They stood next to me, their assault rifles pointed at me. My finger was still bleeding and I could do nothing about it. "Can I at least get a Band-Aid or something?" I asked.

The man on my left hit me on the head with the butt of his rifle. I saw stars as I took the blow. Other than that nothing eventful happened, at least until Dr. Sierra arrived. He was holding an IPad and muttering to himself. He sat in the chair opposite to me and put down his IPad on the table. "So. I would think you are wondering why I am here."

I stiffly nodded, trying my hardest not to bash his skull open. He tapped the IPad and a hologram showed up. It had the logo, "DEMI INDUSTRIES" in a bright bronze glow. "Well, 173 you are here to receive a history lesson."

He gave me a smile, like I should have been happy to receive a history lesson. "Our company began with Alabaster C. Torrington the son of Hecate and his half-brother, Michael Dyson. Mr. Torrington was a brave individual during the second Titan war but he was banished after Kronos was vanquished."

I had a brief image of a pale blonde man with golden eyes, swinging a scythe around but was brought back to reality as the butt of the rifle hit my head again. "173! I know you have ADHD but really now! Concentrate!"

I focused my eyes on the hologram and he continued, "Mr. Torrington was filled with anger against Perseus Jackson and all the Olympians. So he and his brother created Demi Industries, funded directly by the government to 'assist in banking and financing' but instead, so that they could ruin Olympus, created the first Percy Jackson automaton."

He swiped the IPad and the hologram turned into an automaton, completely identical to the one we faced in Washington except it was the size of an action figure. "Yes this is the one you activated in Washington. The first twenty models of Automaton Perseus were immensely durable, very strong but they went haywire often. But Number 1 made us proud by capturing the real Perseus Jackson. That's when they ditched the Automaton project and moved onto cloning. Which is where I came in."

He swiped the IPad again and the hologram turned into a guy that looked like me. "I created the first Perseus Jackson clone, made of flesh, blood, and bone. Although he faced some… problems."

"What problems?" I asked.

The man on my right hit my head with his rife again. Dr. Sierra cleared his throat, "Do not interrupt me 173. Number 21, the first human Perseus, was just like you. Unpredictable. Strong. But he was always conflicted; Perseus's soul and his were in fragments. Like a mixed jigsaw puzzle. At least that's what he said. He eventually went crazy and we ended him."

He swiped the IPad again so that it showed a guy in the same Demi Industries get-up, except the sleeves were torn off and his head was shaven on the side but the middle was still long, forming a Mohawk. He looked like the "bad boy" and I wondered if anyone would object if I looked like that.

"Keep in mind 173, I am only showing you significant members. This individual is Number 58. He experienced the same defects as Number 21. He escaped just as you and was eventually hunted down by Mr. Dyson himself. He was incredibly reckless and rebellious. One of my more 'hated' projects."

He swiped the IPad into a nerdy looking version of me. He had glasses, neatly combed hair and the type of aura that would lead you to believe that he was intelligently annoying. "And this is another Number 21 defect. Number 83. Smart-ass if I've ever seen one. He had the Number 21 defect and escaped as well and was hunted down just as Number 58."

That's us. Damn! I looked sexy! Shut up you inbred. Dr. Sierra swiped the IPad and three holograms appeared. One was Cerberus, the other Ladon, and the next a girl that had the same theme as Number 58 except her hair was styled like a boy's. She had long bangs that covered half her face and was dyed, but everywhere else was about an inch or two long. Damn, that girl is just my style!

Dr. Sierra swiped Cerberus and Ladon away. "You already know these two, now failures due to their inability to kill you. But this one" he pointed to the girl, "Is Chimera. The first female clone I made. It took a lot of effort but I managed to do it."

He didn't elaborate on it so I asked, "If you're objective was to ruin Olympus, why bother in creating a female version? Wouldn't it have been easier just to use males?"

He chuckled and swiped the IPad into another guy that looked like me. "I found that boys are very unresponsive. I tested for a female variant to see which gender was better."

He pointed to the hologram and said, "Now this is you. You can decide if you want to be a failed experiment. Or a god among us."

I stared at him. He seemed to think that his offer was generous. I smiled and nodded. Before anyone could move a muscle I stood straight up. I punched the man on my left in his eye and used him as a shield as the man on the right shot an unnecessary amount of bullets into my shield. As soon as I heard him reloading I threw the shield aside and kicked the gun out of his hand. He pulled out a knife but I snapped his arm and smashed his head on the table. Dr. Sierra was nowhere to be seen.

The men didn't have any handcuff keys but they did have key cards so I ran out the door. I retraced my steps into where they dumped my friends and I guessed correctly when I unlocked a cell using my key card. They were astonished to see me but they didn't object. Alex hugged me but jumped back, "Is that blood?"

I ignored her and beckoned them to follow me. I ran, searching for a door until I came across it. Room 129. I swiped my card and on the other side were our equipment. Luna took her Swiss army knife and two duffel bags, changing her knife into crossbow form. Addie gave Sammy my white sword, "I hope you still have Riptide Teddy. Now extend your arms."

I held them out and she sliced her sword down on my handcuffs. I pulled Riptide out and we began to run down the hallway trying to find the hangar. But I stopped at a cell block, oddly feeling drawn to it. The alarms started buzzing but I was entranced by the cell. Addie pleaded with me, "Teddy! Come on! We'll get caught!"

I ignored her and unlocked the door. Inside was a malnourished man with raven hair, sea green eyes, and a long scruffy beard. If I didn't feel the power radiating off him I would have thought he was a hobo. "Perseus Jackson." I whispered.

Addie peered in. "What are you talking about?"

"Percy Jackson!" I screamed.

I ran in and hugged him but he stayed quiet. His eyes stared into mine and then he jumped me. We wrestled for control but he had the element of surprise. He managed to steal Riptide out of my hands and pointed it to my neck. "Monster." He whispered.

Everyone, including Addie pointed their weapons at him but he stayed concentrated on me. "I'm not a monster. I'm a friend. I was created by Demi Industries, the people who captured you. I escaped from them and made my way to Camp Jupiter. I was on a quest to save you with your daughter, Jas-"

"Daughter?" Percy asked. He got off me and looked at us crazily. "What daughter? I have a daughter? Is she here? Is it the blonde one? Yes it is!" He hugged Addie but she seemed more disgusted. "You look like my Annabeth!" he said.

Luna checked outside the hall and looked at me with a sense of urgency. "I'd hate to tear apart this family reunion but" I picked Percy up fireman style. "We have to leave."

We stormed through the hallway in no particular direction and by chance came across the hangar. But waiting for us was Dr. Sierra and the punk style girl that I saw in the history lesson. She had a steel collar on her neck, making her look like an Addie that was turned punk and caged. "173. Teddy, whatever. You have managed to surprise me again. I would have never thought you would take the chance in beating your guards. But don't worry. Chimera is more than a match for you."

My jaw dropped as I looked at Chimera. Her eyes were sad unlike Cerberus and Ladon's maniacal glare. She almost looked sorry we would have to fight. Dr. Sierra held a remote and pressed a button. The collar shocked the girl, making smoke arise from her neck. She slowly walked to me, ready to fight. The smart decision would have been to take her on with everyone else but I held everyone back. Chimera curled her fingers, making the water near the sub turn into a spear for her. She seemed to mouth, "I'm sorry."

Then she tried to skewer me. I backed away before the spearhead could touch me but I wasn't quick enough to stop the shaft from whacking me across the hangar. I flew into the water near the sub. Dr. Sierra laughed and called out, "Chimera has untamed strength, even greater than you, Ladon, and Cerberus combined! That's why I named her Chimera!"

I jumped out the water as her spear was thrusted to my face. I manipulated the water into a shield and blocked her attack. I bashed her with my shield but it was like trying to knock over a building. Instead, she kicked my shield, once again blasting me away. I got back up and reached for Riptide. I felt nothing in my pocket and stole a glance to Percy. He was absentmindedly twirling Riptide. I cursed myself for not supplying myself with a weapon. She charged me and tried to stab my gut but I deflected with my shield and manipulated more water into a sword. I lunged at her legs but she was too quick.

She pulled her leg back and went low, then sliced my stomach. It wasn't a deep cut but it still shot pain through my whole body. She spun and whacked me a couple times with her spear head, me blocking it every time with my shield. But her strength eventually shattered the water shield, knocking me to the ground. She whispered in a fragile voice, "I'm sorry brother."

She stabbed down but I flipped backwards and stabbed her neck. She sidestepped, my water sword instead glancing off her collar. It sparked for a split second and then began to continuously shock her. I turned back and stared at Sierra. He wasn't even making an effort to save her. I could've walked away and let the electricity kill her but I was sickened by the thought.

I knelt down and grabbed her collar. Using a sword would've been too dangerous and I could cut her throat while trying. The moment my fingers touched the steel, it carried electricity through my body. I tried to tear it off but there was a reason she could never take it off. My body felt like it was frying but I continued to try and rip it off. I heard a roar of water and I opened my eyes to see the collar torn into two separate pieces, the metal lost its luster and was now a weak, dull grey.

Chimera looked relieved to have it off and took my hand as I helped her up. Her throat was black and melted and so were my hands but we were both fine. She raised her arm and I thought she was summoning another spear to kill me but she instead threw it at my friends' direction. Dr. Sierra dodged it and shouted an order to the monsters and men.

The completely ignored my friends as they ran for the sub and concentrated on me and Chimera. They fired bullets, arrows and spears but together we raised a massive highly-dense water shield. Then we attacked. We started our own mini hurricanes and tore through the enemy lines. Arrows were lost within the wind, bullets ricocheted and hit random places, and Dr. Sierra was trying to stay alive the whole time. Chimera was a complete full grown woman-tank. She stopped her hurricane, bulldozing into the enemy. Arrows nipped her skin, never impaling, as she made her way to Sierra. Over my hurricane I heard Alex shout, "Hurry up and get over here! The place is collapsing!"

I looked up and saw that it was true. The sea water was making the steel braces turn dull. I landed near Sierra and Chimera and raised a dome to protect from the monster attacks. Now Chimera, Sierra, and I were trapped inside the dome but I couldn't move a muscle, in effort to hold the dome up. Sierra had a mad look in his eyes and spoke in a machine gun voice, "Chimera this is your last test! Take out 173 and you will be freed from Demi Industries!"

She drew water from my dome and manipulated it into a javelin. She stalked towards Dr. Sierra and stabbed him in the thigh. He fell over howling. "Kill me and Dyson will have your head!"

She scowled and swiftly put an end to him. With her confrontation over I started to swirl the dome around. Then I blew it up, discombobulating everyone near it. With the enemy down all we had to do was reach the sub. Then suddenly a chunk of the ceiling fell down, falling through the catwalk diagonally so that we were completely cut off from water and the sub. The enemy was still discombobulated but without our source of power we wouldn't last long.

I heard a muffled voice underneath the thick ceiling. I couldn't tell who it was but I could barely hear what he or she was saying. I shouted back, "Leave!"

I heard a defiant "no" so I placed my hands on the wall and focused on the sub. I willed it to push away back into the sea and felt it slowly picking up speed as it left the base. Chimera looked back at me, her face showing fear. "We're going to finish the job. Together. Brother and sister."

She was obviously frightened like I was but she grabbed my hand and closed her eyes. I did the same and I felt the walls shudder. We were trying to change the water pressure so that the whole base would cave in but our own energy wasn't enough. Maybe we could help. I mentally nodded and the voice replied, Alright! One big ass burst of energy coming right up!

I felt the water pressure around us abruptly change, tearing through the walls and destroying the whole base. Our hands were ripped away from each other as the sea took us down into the depth of the Pacific. I was caught on a chunk of debris and couldn't move. I tried to take in a breath of air but instead met cold water. The remaining air in my mouth was torn away from me. I screamed in my head, cursing Poseidon. As I blacked out I felt a pair of hands grab me and then everything was gone.

When I woke up Chimera had her lips on mine, breathing air into my body. I ripped away from her and coughed out a flow of water. I tried to dry myself but my ability in that certain power disappeared. Apparently Chimera couldn't dry herself either. We were on a giant platform of ice, near the edge of the water. We were still in Alaska, where we were I had no idea. We leaned on each other, side by side, and waited for nothing. "Why did you save me? And how?" I asked.

She shivered and pulled her raggedy clothes together and chattered out, "I d-d-don't know. S-s-same r-r-reason you saved m-me I guess. And I t-t-teleported us through the s-s-sea. If we l-l-live long enough I'll t-t-teach you."

We stayed quiet for a while, but eventually she asked me the big question. "Why d-d-did you save m-me?"

Honestly I had no idea. I didn't know her. Then again I didn't even know myself. I shivered and rubbed my arms, still thinking and then I had it. "B-b-because you reminded me of m-m-myself. I was held c-c-captive. In pain. I guess I just d-d-d-didn't want to see it h-happen again."

She shuddered and rubbed her neck. It had healed on contact with the water but my fingers were still burned and blistered. "What's the outside world like?" Chimera asked.

I sighed and let my short memories flow through and I relived my memories for her. As I finished she sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder. "If w-we live you're going to find me a new n-name. Teddy."

She closed her eyes as I felt mine shutting as well. I put my head on top of hers and watched the sunset, wondering if it would be the last one I'd see.

We were together. Chimera and I. Usually I was alone but this time she was with me, standing before Poseidon. She stared at me with a confused expression but I waved it away, "Hello. Dad."

He smiled and clapped our backs. "You've done me proud. You found Percy, freed your sister, and broken your curse."

He was smiling but I could see the sliver of sadness. "There's something else isn't there? Something you're not telling us."

Poseidon nervously fingered the buttons on his Hawaiian shirt. "You, my daughter will have the freedom to choose your name just as… Teddy has."

It must've been an awkward name for me if every damn person I met said my name like that. Poseidon spoke to both of us, this time with a grave expression. "Although you have found your soul" he pointed to her, "Teddy has not. You're future lies with Dyson. Only then will your soul be truly together."

Chimera disappeared from the dream while I stayed behind. I was frustrated that she had found herself so easily. "Teddy I know you're angry but the only advice I can give you is to stay true to who you know you are."
