PJO/Campione! (Earlier this Year/2013)
Percy the Campione!
Chapter 1
The Eighth Campione!
PC
Naples, Castel dell'Ovo, Campione! Universe. God Perseus versus the Dragon.
Percy Jackson didn't know where he was,all he knew was that some person in white was standing nearby holding a sword while a dragon was attacking. Although he would normally side with the swordsman in white, something about this seemed off. Then it hit Percy, a young woman with silvery hair wearing blue and black clothing was shouting at the man in white and it was obviously a call for the man to stop, perhaps that dragon is more then it appears. The man simply replies to the woman with a smile and ignores her, the woman steps forwards then the man says something else and she freezes, he is controlling her is the first thing that crosses Percy's mind.
Suddenly he is filled with white hot rage and without thinking he uncaps Anaklusmos and stabs it right in the centre of the man's back, even though there is a high chance that the sword won't affect him. Percy's eyes widen in shock as instead of ignoring the man Anaklusmos easily cuts into him. The man slowly turns his head around with a look o0f shock and Percy realizes what he is saying "A cowardly attack such as this is laying me low?"
Percy growls back with fervor "It is more brave then using a power to control somebody, you are the coward not I. Who are you, this sword isn't supposed to be able to slay mortals"
The man smiles slowly "Taught by a youth I have been? Very well, I am the great hero Perseus, that young one is why your blade could slay me"
Percy shakes his head at Perseus "I'm sorry, but a man who would ignore ad use powers to control a woman, is no hero, they are cowards, villains and most of all monsters. You are worse than the monsters Anaklusmos is meant to slay"
Perseus coughs weakly and then nods "Perhaps you are right, But it doesn't matter anymore, you have slain me and therefore I name thee a Campione!"
Before Percy can reply a massive surge of energy fills him and he slowly collapses into unconsciousness as the woman runs towards him and Perseus dissolves into light.
PC
The World between Life and Death, Campione! Universe
A lighthearted voice speaks out across the void of colors in which Percy lies "Another one, but you are not of this world, a child of God and Man. But it matters not, I name thee Campione! My adopted son, you have not only slain Perseus, but in your own world you are the cause of the deaths of Kronos and Hyperion and have also bested Ares in combat, such actions will grant you more powers" A young woman in her mid-teens with long violet hair and pointed ears says.
She smiles at Percy who asks "Who are you?"
She continues to smile and answers with "I am Pandora, the first woman of man and the mother of Campiones. By defeating the God Perseus you have become a Campione, as I said earlier not only will you get all of Perseus' authorities, but you will also get the Authorities of Kronos, Hyperion and Ares due to your fights in your home world" Another massive surge of energy hits Percy and he blacks out.
PC
Bronze-Black Cross Hotel, Naples, Campione! Universe.
Percy slowly stirs and as he does he notices two people in the room, the blue and black dressed woman from earlier and a man about his age with black hair and black irises. The woman jumps up from her seat when she notices him waking "You're awake, I thought you were not going to wake up"
The man shakes his head "I tried telling her that becoming a Campione is an exhausting event, especially after talking with Pandora" Percy frowns and opens his mouth to ask something as half memories float across his mind but the man seems to know what he is going to say "Don't worry the memories will return in time, you have only just awoke and it will be sometime before you are completely settled into your new body. As for me I'm Godou, Godou Kusanagi, the Seventh Campione, it's nice to meet you Eighth"
Percy shakes his head to clear it and asks "Campione, what's a Campione"
In answer the woman recites a verse or hymn from memory
"A Campione – A Godslayer – is a Supreme Ruler"
"Since he can kill the celestial being, he can therefore call upon the sacrosanct, divine powers wielded by gods"
"A Campione – A Godslayer – is a Lord"
"Since the power to kill a deity is in his hands, he therefore looms over all mortals on Earth"
"A Campione – A Godslayer – is a Devil"
"Since of all the mortals in the world, none can assume a power to match his!"
"By slaying the Heretic God Perseus, you have absorbed his Authorities, his divine powers. You are now a Campione, a Godslayer, you stand above all mortals. Your life-span is infinite until you are slain, your strength is beyond mortals, your endurance is divine, no mortal magics can affect you without being pushed into you with extreme effort or guile. The only ones who can match you are other Campiones and Heretic Gods" The woman then bows to him "I am the Grand Knight of the Bronze-Black Cross, Liliana Kranjar, for saving me, I swear my sword and service to you"
Percy looks at Godou in confusion and Godou shrugs "As you'll soon discover mages and magic knights like Liliana will flock to you as you are the only defense against Heretic Gods and other Campiones. At least this time I didn't end up destroying anything. So what's your name and where are you from?"
Percy grimaces at his thoughts of what they might say and goes with the truth "My name is Perseus Jackson, but call me Percy. And would you believe me if I told you I am a Demigod from another Universe"
To his surprise Godou shrugs completely unfazed "I've gotten used to the weird stuff that pops up around me now days. So yes I can believe you, what are the gods like in your world?" Godou asks with real interest, if he's lucky he might have a place to go on vacation without threats.
Percy shrugs "Their not the worst, they are a bit prideful. At least most of them are, my dad Poseidon, Hermes and Apollo seem pretty relaxed and Artemis isn't too bad, as long as you're respectful"
Godou almost seems to drool and then he shakes his head and asks "Would you mind if we ever find a way to your world if I can drop by. It would be nice to stay in a place where the gods aren't trying to kill me"
Percy seeing an opportunity smiles and says "As long as you don't mind having me over as a guest while we're in this world"
Godou shakes his head "Not a problem, I'll call my grandfather and tell him you're coming and I imagine that Liliana there will follow you"
Liliana speaking for the first time in a while asks "If you don't mind me asking, have you fought any gods in your world"
Percy is about to reply when he gasps and grinds his hand against his forehead "Damn, what a headache, anyways to answer your question yes. I've fought and won against Ares, Hyperion and Kronos"
Liliana gapes in shock at Percy's answer "You've beaten the Olympian God of War and Titans of Light and Time?"
Percy nods while still trying to ease his headache then it disappears and a memory resurfaces "I remember that Pandora said that since I beat them, or lead to their defeat I would get their Authorities. What's an Authority again?"
Godou answer the question "An Authority is a God's power, for example I defeated the Persian god of victory Verethragna and gained his powers, one of them is the steed the…"
"The Horse of the Sun, the puller of the Sun Chariot" Percy then frowns "How'd I know that?"
Liliana pipes up with a answer "It's possible that you've gained some of Heretic Perseus' memories and he might have a connection to Persia and therefore would know of Verethragna's powers"
Godou nods in agreement "That actually makes sense, something I find the divine lacking in sorely"
Percy chuckles in amusement "So you too think that the divine is sometimes senseless"
Godou fake frowns in disbelief then raises an eyebrow "Sometimes?"
Percy smiles in victory "Don't blame me for the fact your world's gods are different to mine"
Godou glares at Percy "Alright, you win that one"
Liliana butts in "Excuse me, but Lord Percy, do you have any idea what Authorities you have gained?"
Percy is about to answer when he is seemingly pulled inside of himself, after a few murmurs he reawakens "Sorry, I was being told everything. Anyway I have a few Authorities. [Child of the Ocean] gives me all the powers of a God of the Oceans just weaker as I am or was a Demigod. [Sunlight Bow] grants me the power to summon a bow with arrows made of sunlight. [Lord of Pegasi] lets me summon and control a Pegasus. [God of Steel] lets me use mere words to stop any powers based upon serpents. [Temporal Master] lets me slow time for everyone but myself. [Lord of Light] lets me emit light and control all sources of light with the exception of the sun. [Warrior's Might] in battle I always know how to parry or dodge an enemy's blade, but I need to practice so I can do so successfully. And lastly [Oceanic Rebirth] let's me be reborn if slain, but it can only be used once every twenty-four hours.
