Percy's POV-
Cursing wildly when I see the hunters fighting for their lives, I take out Riptide and I run to help.
First, I see that it's monsters from the other planets. These girls don't know how to defeat them, they have unique weaknesses that took me decades to figure out!
I see three hunters deal with a single Aml-Law, which has six hands and three heads. Gods they are the most sarcastic assholes I've ever met. Their skin is a charcoal black with a slimy texture and they are tall and bony. Their nails are filed to sharp points, not to mention the swords they use. There are easily forty of Aml-Laws here, running around and creating havoc on the camp.
Then what catches my eye causes all the war cries and sounds of battle to fade into the background. The third and oldest child of Order, Saxon, stands over the dead body of one of the hunters, grinning maniacally as he watches his warriors defeat the hunters. He looks like Lucifer and Lilith, except his platinum blonde hair is cut military style. He then sees me and his grin falls into a small smug smile.
"Well well, if it isn't the prince!" He says with mock excitement, walking off the dead huntress and towards me. I uncap my pen and Riptide expands to its full length.
"Take your warriors and leave, I am in a very bad mood at the moment and not in the mood to exchange sarcastic remarks with an idiot." I say without any emotion as I face him.
"Well I'm in a mood to kill." He says, baring his pearly white teeth in an animal like manner before attacking. I simply twist out of his reach and I drive the hilt of my sword into the back of his neck.
While Saxon falls slightly, I shoot white hot columns of fire at the near by Aml-Laws, causing them to char to a crisp in the spare millisecond I manage to create. "Hit them under their underarms! That's their weakness!" I shout and the hunters all take this information to mind as they battle the monsters.
"You idiot." Saxon spits as he jumps to his feet, swinging his sword at me. I duck out of the way and I swipe at his feet. He jumps and goes to kick me in the face. I roll out of the way and swing my sword again at terminal speed. He intercepts the sword and I jump to my feet, moving my sword away.
"Should be saying that about yourself." I snap as I create ice daggers, shooting them at him as I swing my sword at his side. One dagger catches in his shoulder as he twists away from my sword. He grunts and goes to pull the dagger out, but it melts into his white clothes.
With the twist of my wrist, his entire shirt freezes over with ice, immobilizing his upper body. With the new amount of water to use, I control the water to rise, bringing him with it. He kicks his legs but nothing works. Not even his abilities could help him here since he chose to be a general rather than second in command of Order's entire army. Guess that doesn't help him now.
"Take your warriors and leave, or I will freeze you to that tree and you can watch as you fail." I snap coldly. Saxon just starts to laugh. I raise an eyebrow, but I flick my hand towards the nearest tree and Saxon slams against it. Water surrounds him and freezes into an impenetrable block of ice.
"You will die at the hands of Order!" He shouts and I barely pay him any attention as I quickly turn to help the hunters.
I see that one of the hunters is cornered by three Aml-Laws at once and I quickly sprint to her. I swipe at other monsters as I run towards her, twisting and shooting either columns of flames or pure ice at the monsters to help the other hunters.
Once I reach the endangered hunter, I quickly drop and slide under one of the Aml-Law's legs and I jump up beside the girl. Without a second's hesitation, I swipe my sword at one of them, decapitating all three heads of one while throwing my elbow into the stomach of another. I light my sword on fire as I drive it into the killing blow for one, but I end up skewering the third one as well. Killing two birds with one stone I guess. The three Aml-Laws disintegrate into black ash and I barely glance at the shocked huntress before running to my next target.
Artemis battles four at once, but is managing fairly okay. I decide to lend her a hand by using the powers from Mesos, I concentrate and two of the monsters fighting Artemis turn into pools of black ink. She looks up them in alarm, but then sees me and her eyes widen even more. I make eye contact with her and for a split second, her and I come to an silent agreement.
I turn away and I go to help others. Seeing an opportunity with there being at least a dozen of the Aml-Laws grouped together, I slam the heel of my hand into the ground, a shockwave travels through the earth and a wave of dirt swallows up the dozen Aml-Laws instantly. I twist my wrist and all the monsters under the ground disintegrate instantly.
I don't notice the shocked looks of the hunters as I sense more danger. I turn quickly and I see that Thalia fights two at once, but a third is sneaking right behind her, it's sword drawn and aimed right for her heart. I sprint as fast as I can towards her, jumping and ducking out of the way as other fights occur at once.
"Thalia duck!" I order as I flip over both the Aml-Laws she fights and herself as I aim my sword right at the third monster. Thalia rolls to the left, listening to me and I easily dispatch of the sneaky Aml-Law with my ignited sword.
But something catches me before I can turn, I look down and I see the tip of a sword peeking out of my stomach. Pain bursts throughout my body as I turn and see one of the Aml-Laws Thalia was previously fighting grin victoriously at me. Without a second thought, I burn it to the ground with both my hands.
I look down at the sword and I know I have to leave it, pulling it out could result in me bleeding out quicker. Taking a deep breath, I place my hands on the hilt of the sword that was jutting out of my back and I snap it off. I grunt in pain before throwing the broken hilt away. I can't heal myself now, these monsters need to be gone before I show weakness.
The hunters, knowing the way to kill them, are easily killing most of the Aml-Laws, leaving around five left. I shoot columns of fire at the remaining monsters and the hunters shoot the killing blow right after. We do this until there is nothing left but black ash around us. Some hunters attend to the wounded as others cry over the few casualties, seeing their sisters die.
I see Saxon grinning victoriously anyways and I know exactly why he grins like that. Order sent these monsters to kill me, not the hunters. "My father will win this war! You will die! You will all die!" He shouts and with the last of my strength, I cause the ice to shatter and he would have shattered with it, but he disappears in a bright flash of white.
"Holy Hera! Percy!" I hear Thalia exclaim, but when I try to turn to her, black dots appear in my vision. I stumble a little as my head begins to spin.
"I-I'll be fine." I mutter as I drop to my knees and down to the ground, black consuming my vision and the intense pain burning in my stomach.
Third Person POV-
Once Percy falls unconscious, bleeding heavily into the earth below, there is a mixed response to it. Some don't even notice as they help others or pick up the dead. Thalia though, explodes.
She sprints to her unconscious cousin, shouting his name as she looks down at the wound. He did the best he could to remove sword, making it easier to fight, but Thalia can see the tip of the sword sticking out of his stomach, making her gag a little.
"Stay with me, Percy. Don't you dare die on me." She orders of him as she hurriedly thinks of what to do. Then, doing the least likely thing she could ever do, she prays.
"Please, dad, Apollo, Lord Chaos, whoever can me, I beg of you to come and help. This boy does not deserve to go, not yet. Please." She begs with her eyes closed as she holds Percy. His breaths were turning ragged and his tan color begins to take an ashy pallor to it.
A black portal appears and Lord Chaos appears, a worried expression on his face and panic emanates from him once he sees Percy.
"What happened?" He asks hurriedly, causing Thalia's head to snap up.
"W-We were attacked by these monsters and a man who Percy did not look happy to see. O-One of them stabbed him when he wasn't looking." She explains in a flash, trying to stay strong, but the facade falls almost instantly. Percy is like a brother to her, even if he's been acting strange, he doesn't deserve to die, not now. And the only reason he is like this is because he was trying to protect her.
Chaos quickly picks up Percy, and what scares Thalia more is that he makes no noise, no grunt in pain or feverish mumble, nothing. "I must bring him to Paradíso to be healed. Tell Artemis to tell the Olympians they need to prepare for war." He says before taking Percy through the portal, leaving a fearful Thalia behind.
She scrambles to her feet and sprints to find Lady Artemis. She finds the goddess kneeling over one of the dead huntresses. It's Bridget and she has a huge claw mark right over her heart. Even if she has passed, she still clutches onto her bow tightly.
"Lady Artemis." Thalia says and the goddess looks up reluctantly. Artemis's eyes widen to the size of saucers when she sees all of the blood that covers Thalia, her initial reaction is that Thalia is hurt.
"We must go to Olympus immediately. I have a message for the Olympians from Lord Chaos." She says and Artemis nods slowly as she gets to her feet.
"Are you hurt?" She asks and Thalia shakes her head.
"It's Percy's." Thalia says quietly and Artemis has a flicker of concern in her eyes before it fades away.
"I'm sure he'll be fine, Lord Chaos didn't name him prince of the universe for nothing, right?" Artemis asks stiffly, trying to comfort Thalia in the best way possible. Thalia nods in agreement.
"Now, let's go to Olympus." She says after telling Valerie what needs to be done. Valerie has tear tracks on her face, but nods understandingly before Thalia and Artemis disappear to Olympus once more.
The two girls arrive in the throne room, scaring the crap out of Luke and Hermes. Luke's eyes widen at the sight of Thalia and he runs over in concern.
"Are you okay? What happen? Are you hurt? Are you okay?" He asks in a rapid pace, worried for his friend. Artemis raises an eyebrow at the man, never seeing this before.
"Luke, I'm fine. It's not my blood." Thalia says softly and Luke relaxes just a tad before he gains that curious look again.
"Then who's is it?" He asks and Thalia sighs. She leans forward and whispers the answer in his ear. Luke pales to the shade of printer paper.
"I... I'll call the Counselors a-and may you call the Olympians, Lady Artemis?" Luke asks, trying to keep together his calm reverie in check. Artemis nods and shoots a silver arrow into the sky without a single second hesitation. She and Thalia walk to her throne, but not before Thalia and Luke exchange a knowing look.
The gods appear once more, looking slightly annoyed for being called yet again. But the aura of annoyance quickly melts once they see the sight of Thalia, soaked in blood and tears threatening the spill down her face. Everyone quickly sits down and the Counselors appear right after with their respected groups. Luke gathers the Counselors and he speaks to them in a quiet tone. They all nod seriously, not a single one of them having a different expression from the rest.
Thalia walks to the center of the throne room, wiping at her face, which causes some blood to smear on her face. "We were attacked once more, by whom I believe is to be Saxon." Some of the gods and demigods gasp in alarm. "Percy," Thalia chokes on his name slightly. "Was fatally stabbed during the attack as he tried to protect me. Lord Chaos has taken back to his palace to be healed. But he told me to give a message." She says, straightening her back to stay strong.
"And what would that message be?" Zeus asks a little hesitantly. Thalia's electric blue eyes darken even more.
"We must begin to prepare for war." She says before walking back to Artemis, who was watching Thalia with sad eyes.
The entire room breaks into havoc, the demigods beginning to freak out, mainly Camp Half-Blood's kids. The gods all start to discuss/fight with one another with war strategies. Until finally one of the Counselors, Sean to be specific, steps into the middle of the throne room. All of the Counselors cover their ears with their hands, knowing what is about to happen.
Sean's purple eyes darken to a near black and his silver hair starts burning a brilliant white as he opens his mouth. Instead of a human voice, the sound of what seemed to be a combination of nails dragging down a chalkboard, a cat screeching loudly and a backfiring amplifier comes out of his mouth. All the gods and demigods drop to their knees, clawing at their ears as they silence into silent screams. The sound stops abruptly as Sean closes his mouth and stays standing where he is, his eyes returning to the lavender hue and his silver hair losing its fierce glow.
"Now I believe we should talk in a civilized manner rather than acting like three year olds. Agreed?" Sean asks quietly, but firmly. The Counselors can't help but smirk slightly at the dumbfounded look on everyone's faces as they nod quickly. Sean nods and turns to the group of Counselors.
"Aerin, would you like to continue?" He asks respectively. The Devonian smirks and nods as she walks over to where Sean is. The two nod respectively as Aerin takes the spot Sean previously stood at.
"Now, onto more needed matters," Aerin begins, enjoying the feel of having control. "I suggest the hunters reside at Camp Half-Blood for now on due to the massive amounts of attack they have been receiving. All leaders of each respected group must check in with one another every evening either here or via Iris message. Any rejections?" She asks and her silver eyes gleam when no one says anything. "Grand, meeting adjourned." She walks back to the Counselors without another word.
They all quietly agree that they will visit Percy one by one if they want to, but they have to check in with everyone else first to make sure they were the only one going. This would make it better just in case a bad situation occurred here on Earth. Strangely, it is Zoë who volunteers to go first.
"Thy believe Aerin shall be able to retain full control of thou situation. Might as well get the easiest ones done first." Zoë explains and they all nod in agreement. And just like that, everyone leaves to go back with their groups. Zoë lingers back, waiting before disappearing on her own to Paradíso.
It is nighttime in her home planet, and she can't help but look up at the stars. But she looks down quickly. No, she thinks to herself. Not without Perseus. Zoë quickly walks towards the palace, slipping in silently and going to the hospital.
Percy, being as selfless as he is, has his own bed in the hospital because he visits this place over and over with different wounds. He jokes that he should just move into the hospital all together and Chaos almost made that happen.
The nurses let Zoë pass without question and the former huntress makes her way to the back of the hospital, where she can see the bare feet of the Prince of the universe at the position she is currently at.
Once she reaches him, her heart stops for a moment. He lays on the bed, a thin layer of sweat on his skin as he sleeps. His midnight black hair sticks to his face as his breaths come out heavy and ragged. He is shirtless, with a thick white bandage wrapped around his midsection, blotches of red already bleeding through. But Zoë can't help but stare. While all the other boys like the train shirtless, since Paradíso is almost always a summer-like temperature, Percy always wears a shirt. And she can now see why he does that, scars from all the wars he's endured cover his upper body, some deeper than others, but they are like tattoos covering him entirely.
Zoë sits down in the chair beside him and Percy continues to sleep restlessly, twitching every now in then. His face is flushed with a nasty fever and he looks absolutely terrible. What did he get stabbed with?
A little hesitantly, Zoë reaches over and grabs his hand. His skin is unnaturally warm due to the fever, but Zoë doesn't let go. She takes the small towel that was in the cooled water by his bedside and gently places it on his forehead with her other hand. It gives his temporary relief, his breaths returning to normal for a moment before the water heats up. Zoë repeats this over and over until the cooled water is too warm to use anymore. Then she just holds his hand with both of hers.
Placing her forehead against his hand, she whispers faintly, "Damn you Perseus Jackson." But there is traces of a smile playing on her lips. She closes her eyes and remains silent as she takes comfort in his ocean scent and before she knows it, she falls into a light sleep.
Okay! So we got a glimpse of badass Percy and a little Perzoë! Ooooooooo!
So spring break ends tomorrow :'( and that means I'm going to be more focused on my school work rather than my fanfics. I'm not abandoning you guys, I swear that. But my updates are going to become more spread out due to school, I need to focus on it if I want to succeed in my dream profession and go to a good college.
