It's been 84 years, or something like that
HEY, people, 'tis your long lost friend WrathofPhoenix here.
Woop, let us celebrate for this reunion.
I am aware that I have left you blithering foo- I mean my trusty readers alone for quite a while.
And with that, I have returned with a tank full of Fanfiction gas (ew) and some juicy stories to tell.
By the way, like Phoenix? He is suppose to be me (wink wink) without all the awesomness.
Aight, let's get started, I am not really into long reunions and shedded tears.
Oh yes, I know I have mistakes such as grammar, dead but alive characters, and other stuff but writing ain't easy.
bah bah bah-
FLASH, AH Ahhhh
Dream:
Percy was in a dark cavern with only a few torches on the walls. He looked around in fear of an attack. What he saw was gut-wrenching. There he was, Phoenix, chained to the wall, bleeding from everywhere. There were cuts on his arms, legs, and slashes across his torso. Percy swirled around to find the man he had seen in the bathroom. His eyes were black as th
e void, his face was emotionless, and he had jet black hair. Around him was an aura of evil.
Phoenix opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
The man chuckled, then smiled so wide, that Percy thought he would rip his mouth open.
"My, my, poor Phoenix has lost his voice…" The man said.
In his hand was a knife that was covered in Chimera poison.
"Now, now, we still have a lot of time," the man said, "You can take your time to tell me where I can find your father…"
Suddenly, the man twisted his upper body completely and stared at Percy with a sadistic grin.
"Watch and learn Perce"
NOW:
Percy, Thalia, and Jason arrived at the DOA studio. After dealing with near heat-strokes, near suffucation from pollution, and a taxi driver that wouldn't quit hitting on Thalia (ending with a punch and shock), they pulled up in front of the doors. To Percy, this was a wall of steel nostalgia and unwanted memories. Oh, yes, he remembered the hard quests that he had to do in order to appease the gods. Sometimes, Luke seemed to make sense to him
Oh no you don't Percy, if you forget about me, I will light your cabin on fire.
That was Hestia talking to him. Sometimes, she was just plain terrifying.
After they went through the glass double-door that stood menacingly under the big "DOA" sign, they were met by tons of spirits sitting in a bigger version of a dentist lobby. Whilst Thalia and Jason were nervous, Percy had a stoic face. Besides, traveling through the underworld multiple times created an repellant against fear. When they approached the desk, Percy felt a deja-vu, only this time, Charon had an even fancier clothing. His dark robes and whatnot was replaced with a sophisticated, black Italian suit with black shoes. He had a fedora on that was tilted sideways, like how they did in the old movies.
Once up to the desk, Charon looked up from a Playboy magazine (Thalia cringed) and stared at Percy with black eyes of recognition.
"Ay, kid, guess history does repeat itself aye?" Charon said with a smirk.
"You have gotten along quite well with life, it seems." Percy replied.
"Hm, you are a little more serious now, aren't you?" Charon said whilst raising his arms in a showing manner, "Since that raise you and Hades gave me, I have been just fantastic. So, allow me to guess, here for another trip to the underworld?"
"Yep."
"Well, hope on in. Let us hope that your trip will be a little smoother than last time, no?"
Percy knew that this quest was going to be much more arduous than any other. Just somehow he knew. The complications they faced before arriving at LA (including his dream), were much more prominent and destructive. Dreaming about someone getting tortured, someone evil, and someone even more evil. Just a normal day for Percy, right?
When they got into the boat after kicking out some straggling spirits (Percy did not like that, nor did Jason), Percy looked around the river Styx and noted that it was much cleaner than before. Perhaps all that hard work did pay off.
After reaching the other side, Thalia decided that planning the rest of the way would be best before continuing. They all sat on the rocky shore, facing towards the Fields of Asphodel, and further, Hade's palace.
"Well, here we are. By Jupiter, this place is dull and freaky" Jason whispered.
"I know. Last time I was here, I was suppose to find two weapons of mass destruction and play with a giant three headed dog." Percy replied.
"Okay, enough of that. How do we get to Tarturus?" Thalia asked.
Just saying the name brought chills to Percy.
"You know, Thals, Jason, the underworld seems to mold to your... desire," Percy tried to explain," It's kinda like it changes to wherever you want to go. Though, it only works if that place just HAPPENS to be the entrance to the Pits..."
With that said, the trio packed up and trekked across the ruined lands of Hades. Whilst walking, Percy noticed something. He held up a hand.
"Stop..."
They all stopped and looked around nervously. The place was too quite. They had just crossed the Fields of Asphodel and were feeling pulled towards a certain spot in a faraway distance.
Suddenly, out of the ground, a hand shot up and grabbed Percy by the foot. He quickly slashed it off with Riptide. The hand was only skeletal and was enclosed in a dark aura.
"Skeletal Warriors!"
The whole field then exploded and out came an entire army of the Skeletal Warriors. The trio stood still and stared upon disbelief as the army slowly came towards them in an enclosed circle.
"Are you serious?!" Jason exclaimed, "The first challenge we face is an entire goddamn army?!"
Fortunately for the trio, the army stopped approaching and stood at about 40 feet away from them. The air was eerie and silent until a thundering "thud" could be heard. The army parted away and revealed an intimidating figure dressed in a black clock and leather armor.
"Ethan?" Percy asked in shock.
"Ah, the son of the wretched sea god has appeared before me again..." he said with a sickly grin,"However, unlike last time, I have actually gained some POWER!"
Ethan raised his hands and a black aura enveloped him. The wave of power nearly pushed the demigods to the ground.
"How did this bastard get this much?" Thalia said whilst gritting her teeth.
"Now, now, you demigods don't need to know. You will be dead in a couple hours anyways."
He lowered his hands and pointed directly at Percy.
"Attack."
LI LI LI LINNNE BREAKKK _
All Percy could see was a wave of black and bones. He knew the drill, duck, slash, hack, stab, repeat. The Skeletal Warriors were falling so easily that Percy thought it was just a diversion. Unfortunately for Ethan, it wasn't. In fact, with one great powerful blast of lightning from the demigod siblings, the entire army just perished into a pile of dust.
Ethan stood dumbfounded. He looked up into the high ceiling of Hades. He seemed to be having a conversation with somebody.
Although the army was relatively easy to beat, Percy was still winded while the siblings were gasping for air. He then remembered his dream and connected Ethan to the torturer. Something clicked in his head and made his eyes see red.
"WHERE IS PHOENIX?!" Percy shouted, interrupting Ethan's long stares,"YOU, I SAW WHAT YOU WERE DOING TO HIM, WHERE IS HE?!"
"Haha, I see that you have found out then," Ethan said while chuckling,"You see, whilst I was dead, someone came to me and offered me power. A power to get revenge on anything I wanted. And, believe me Perseus, even though I appeared to have gone over to the "good" side, I still had this nagging feeling that I should kill you. This feeling got bigger and bigger until I finally got the chance to do it. Why, my master's plan was perfect, kidnap Phoenix on his midnight stroll, show you what was happening in the dream, and everything would play out perfect... However, it seems that we have underestimated your strength. No matter, the Skeletal Warriors are just useless anyway."
With a blink of darkness, Ethan suddenly appeared in front of Percy. Before Percy could blink, Ethan brought out a bronze dagger coated with green poison and pushed it forward into his abdomen. Thalia and Jason's eyes went wide. However, before any of them could react, a very bright light showed from Percy. The dagger just bounced away harmlessly.
"Well, ya see here Ethan, my armor just happens to turn invisible." Percy said as he cringed at the cliche of being overpowered.
Ethan suddenly frowned and tried to pull away from him but Percy was too quick. Percy reached forward and grabbed his throat to pull him up from the ground. Thalia and Jason tried to restrain Percy but decided against it.
"Now, Ethan, I gave you some chances before, but I won't give you one here. Where is Phoenix? And who is your Master?"
Ethan spit in his face,"Phoenix is in Tarturus for all I care and I will never tell you who my Master is."
Percy's eyes glowed with a bright green and Ethan knew that he had made a mistake. Percy swiftly grabbed Ethan by his wrist and flung him to the ground. Ethan's body hit the rocks and created a crater, sending shards of obsidian into the air.
"Percy, don't, this is taking it too far!" Jason tried to calm him.
Percy looked back and stared Jason down. Then he turned around and was met by a grin.
"Hehe, Percy, all of your pathetic race is doomed, I tell you, doomed. You cannot hope to survive. Not against a force like this..."
"TELL ME, WHO IS YOUR MASTER? TELL ME BEFORE I PUNCH YOU"
Ethan spit in his face again. Percy reeled back in anger and decided to give him hell. Punch after punch was thrown onto his face until the black aura surround him disappeared. He kept hitting Ethan until his face was covered in... golden ichor.
"You see Jackson, I am immortal... You should by now that there are people who are immensely more powerful than I am. I am just a messenger..." He started to fade away," Best regards, from Nyx."

Tarturus's hole (HAHAHA) was still the same. An endless abyss full of whispers and low wails of despair. As they peered down, they decided to make a camp to rest about 100 yards from it so that they won't get sucked in (HAHAHA okay...). They had 3 white tents formed into a triangle with a campfire in the middle. Percy, whilst the others slept, decided to take first watch. He removed his armor and sat next to the fire. With his new powers of a god, he didn't need that much sleep. Although, this day did tire him a little. As he was stoking the fire, something flashed next to him.
"Hestia"
"Perseus"
The duo sat watching the fire, as one knew that is would be a while before he saw something as neat as this. Percy felt an arm go around his. Hestia leaned her head into his shoulder. Percy complied and lean aswell. He was enjoying this moment as much as he could, because once going into Tarturus, it would take a while to get back. He felt warmth go through his body.
"Thank you..." Percy whispered into her ear.
Hestia felt her face heat up, "For what?"
"Making me feel... Loved, unforgotten, feeling as though I am worth something to this world."
"Percy, you aren't the type of person to be this serious." Hestia said, "Besides, I am always beside you, no matter what."
With this, they both looked at eachother (oh dear) and Percy softly cupped her fiery hair while marveling at her golden beauty. Once again, he felt drawn into those powerful eyes of hers. Her flowing hair, her warmth, they all pulled Percy away from the world. He finally leaned in a captured her lips with his. They both moaned as their lips danced together in perfect rhythms. Their last attempt to keep eachother from separating for what seems like too long...
Just like the flow of water
Their lips suckered and parted, taking in shallow breaths as they got closer and closer. Arms wrapped around in sheer pleasure. In Percy's mind, nothing could be better than this. They moved into the tent, where, for the time being, they enjoyed each other's presence. Exploring, touching, feeling, a state of total bliss. Their bodies molded together like clay, as perspiration and lust made everything more lasting. From that day on, Hestia lost her status as a virgin goddess...
LILILI LINE BREfuck
A couple of hours later, Thalia awoke to see what was going on outside. When she peeked out, there was nothing but a slowly burning fire. Worried at the disappearance of Percy, she ran to his tent in panic and opened the zipper to look inside. She immediately closed the tent, turned away and tried to walk back as quietly as possible. She then heard, Not a word.
But, for some reason, she felt... heavy, at a loss for words. Of course, they were all grown up, they could have sex, drink, party... But, she felt like there was something missing... She didn't know what, but she still felt awkward. She hasn't felt like this since... Luke...
That traitor...
Okay OKAY, I added some... spice into the story... And you might be asking, next pair? WELL, THERE MIGHT NOT BE ONE UNLESS I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER...
BUT, look forward to the next chapter... If it pleases you, here is a virtual dog. ^(*.*)^ I messed up so bad.
