Hey everyone, I'm back at it again with another chapter. This one is going to be another short boring one, but eventually we'll get to the long exciting stuff. For now, just be patient. Anyways, onto the story. Enjoy!

Percy POV

It's weird being dead. Most people imagine floating in darkness, barely conscience. But no, it's much different, at least my version was. Immediately after I died, I found myself in a white expanse. It was strange to say the least, white just being everywhere. I sat on the hard floor wondering what the hell was going on. 'Shouldn't I be in the underworld?' I thought to myself. Unless this was some secret part of the Hell, this definitely wasn't it, and I should know, I'd been there on multiple occasions.

Suddenly, a large purple, oval portal appeared in front of me, and a man stepped out of it. He had on a large black coat with various constellations on it. His skin was extremely pale, almost white, and his eyes were completely black, with small galaxies floating around inside them. I scooted back quickly, not know if the man was a threat on not. "Ah, there you are, I was wondering where you had gone," the man said causally. I got up on my feet, searching my pocket for Riptide. It wasn't there. "Have no fear Perseus, I'm not here to hurt you. On the contrary rather, I'm here to recruit you." I looked at him, shocked. "You want to recruit me? I don't even know your name!" He smiled slightly, as if expecting this reaction. "I am Chaos, Creator of All, Father of the Primordial Gods, Son of Helix. And yes Perseus Achilles Jackson, I want to recruit you." I took a step back in shock. "You're… you're…" I stammered "Yes. If you decide to come with me to my palace, I'll explain more." He turned around swiftly and walked back though the portal. I looked around, considering my options. I could either stay here in this white world, or go to whatever palace Chaos was talking about. The latter seemed like a better idea, so I took it.

When I appeared on the other side, I had to stop and take a breath. It was so wondrous and beautiful; it was hard to comprehend. A huge castle stood at the edge of a large advanced city, it's towers standing tall and proud. I ran to catch up with Chaos who was walking at a brisk pace along a stone path leading to his palace. "Hey wait up!" I called after him. When I finally caught up to him, I bombarded him with questions. "Why am I not dead? Where is this place? Why do you want to recruit me?" "Slow down!" He yelled over my interrogation. "You're not dead because I revived you, something I can only do once every 1 million years so I hope you appreciate it." I tried to ask another question but he put his finger over my mouth. "Let me finish first. This place is called Όαση, or Oasis in English. It is the home I built for myself and my subjects, an advanced, human like species called Aman. I want to recruit you because I see enormous potential for you. You don't have a desire for power, so you're the perfect person to have it. There's a widespread evil throughout the universe, and I need someone to help me stop it. So, I'm making you my personal bounty hunter. You'll have basic immortality, meaning you can still die in battle, but don't age. I'll upgrade your powers of Hydro-kinesis to give you ultimate control over the liquid. Also, if you wish, you may have wings so you can soar above the clouds. I'll give you some time to make your decision."

I didn't have to think on it long, I could finally really devote my life to something good. By the time I was ready to give him my answer, we had reached the gates of the castle. He stopped and turned to me expectantly. "Well Perseus, do you accept my offer?" I didn't even have to think about it. "Yes Sir, I do. If I'm decreasing the evil in the universe, then the job's perfect for me. Chaos gave me a large smile, and the gates opened wide to reveal the inside. I was blown away by the beauty of it, the uniquely carved pillars, tapestries of the great heroes of Earth and beyond, and gold walls all came together to make a glorious main hall. "Welcome to my home Perseus." I shook my head, then said, "One thing before we start this whole thing sir, you've got to stop calling me that. My name's Percy." He gave me a small smile. "Alright then Percy, come see your new home." I grinned and followed him inside.

The one word I would use to describe the place was grand. The whole place was just grand. He showed me the training arena, armory, Bedroom where I would sleep, cafeteria, lounge room, and more. Chaos didn't just give me powers though, he outfitted me in my uniform, a long black coat with black military boot and a mask that covered the bottom half of my face (like Bucky's from Captain America Winter Solider). He gave me new weapons as well. A row of throwing knives that I held in a strap across my chest, two black Katanas that I named Omega and Bloodlust that I held in sheaths on my back, and a pair of Flintlock pistols that had infinite ammo and fired plasma bullets. Additionally, he gave me pitch black wings that would retract into my back, as well as the feathers could fly out and impale things like knives. They were excruciatingly painful at first, but after a few hours I got used to them. I had basic immortality and advanced hydro-kinesis as promised, but he gave me one other power, the power to control the ground. In other words, I could shape and move the dirt and rocks, cause earth quakes, sandstorms, and more. My eyes had changed to gold to make my appearance different, as well as cooler. The last thing he gave me was Small Bob. Surprisingly, he didn't die during our fight in Tartarus, so Chaos teleported him here. I was thinking about changing his name, but I kept it in memory of Bob. All in all, I was pretty badass, and I had my cat.

As I sat on my bed, all I could think was I would need a hell of a lot of training with my new abilities and weapons before I could ever do real combat and fight the forces of evil.

And I was right.

20 Years Later

'Today is the day. Today is the day I prove to Chaos I'm ready to be his Bounty Hunter.' As I walked down the Main Hall in full uniform with Small Bob at my side, I was ready to go out and get my first kill. I had trained myself in combat, learned how to use my powers at their fullest extent and everything about the universe, so now I was ready to do some real work. '20 years ago I was untrained, inexperienced, and unprepared, but now, now I am ready to kick some evil ass.'

A few turns later, and I had arrived at the Hanger. The Hanger was where I stored my Spaceship, Ivey. She was the fastest thing in the universe, and I was proud to own her. She was a 50ft. long triangular ship, smaller than most, but also better. Outfitted with laser cannons, she could do some heavy damage if necessary, so I was well protected.

I walked up to the key pad and entered the code, lowering the door. Small Bob and I walked in and I smelled the refreshing smell of machinery. "Hello, Sabrina." I said to my friend who was currently fixing the ship, though my mask was making my voice deeper than it actually was. "Hello, Perseus." She replied back absentmindedly. I sighed, shaking my head. "Sabrina, Sabrina, how many times have I told you, it's Per-cy. Not that hard." She chuckled lightly. "I know what you prefer to be called, I just choose not to call you it." I laugh softly and walk over to the cockpit. "I'm just about done, just let me finish cleaning the seats," she said, looking determined. Sabrina was a good friend of mine from Oasis. She had long black hair and caramel, brown eyes, and was very attractive. When she was 15 years old, she worked as a mechanic at Beta's Repair Shop, but got fired and didn't have a place to stay. Chaos took her in and let her repair stuff for somewhere to sleep and eat (This was all during my 16th year in Oasis). We hit it off almost immediately, and ever since we'd been best friends.

I turned on the main screen to look at my mission options. As a bounty hunter I could choose any mission I wanted, and each one had a different reward and difficulty. Target: Tony Harkeve, Crime: Owning a major slave trade operation on planet Algeryon, capturing the inhabitants and selling them for money, Reward: 10'000 Kigos ($100,000 in American currency) Location: 2123 Loco dr. 34537, Trade Section. The picture on the screen showed an obese man who was unshaved, but well-dressed, wearing an expensive purple suit and sunglasses. I looked over to another assignment. Target: Silvia Cut, Crime: Assassinating multiple government officials, Reward: 19'500, Warning: Extremely dangerous, confront with caution. Location: Somewhere on Planet Grey. The image showed a sleek woman in a tight blue body suit. She had short black hair and looked about 30. I smiled at the screen. "I'll get Silvia first, then fatty. That'll be about 30'000 Kigos total. That should be enough to get my own nice home in the suburbs of Oasis." I said thoughtfully to Sabrina, scratching Small Bobs' head in the process. "Right as always Ace." she responded. I choose the Ace as my code name because it was something different. The Ace of Spades was the emblem on my uniform and ship, and I decided to leave an Ace of Spades at every kill as a calling card of sorts. "Looks like you're going to Grey. Can you do this?" a voice rang though my earpiece. "Yes sir I can." "Well then," Chaos continued, "I wish you the best of luck." And with that, he cut off the frequency.

"Alright bro, I'm done here. Good luck on your mission thingy." I turned my chair around and gave her a small smile. "Thanks." She smiled back and walked out. I swiveled my chair back around and grabbed the controls. "Alright buddy, you ready for this?" I asked Small Bob, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat strapped in. He mewed, and we shot off into space.

A few hours later, we reached Grey. Grey was a small planet, about the size of the moon. The special thing about Grey was it had lots of plants. They made most of their money shipping off the trees, fruits and vegetables, and many other plants. Everything grew back so quick, so they never ran out. It was inhabited by Amam, the same advanced human species on Oasis, so they were smarter, stronger, and faster than your average human. Thankfully, I wasn't your average human. I studied the picture of Silvia before I got off the ship, making sure I knew the target well. "I've got to get this right."

I took in a deep breath of fresh air. "Ah, the perks of living on a world with lots of plants; lots of fresh air." Small Bob seemed to nod his head in agreement. "Alright, so step one, figure out where in the hell this girl is at. All the computer said was 'Somewhere on planet Grey." I looked around, seeing forest as far as the eye could see. "Well, let's find a town. Maybe their police station will know something about where she could be." Small Bob (let's just call him SB) mewed and we walked into the forest.

About 30 min. later we caught sight of a town. "Hey, let's go get a room in that hotel, it's almost dark." I decided, looking at the skyline. The sun had almost finished setting over the horizon. Right as we were outside the hotel, an instinct to me something was going on inside, something bad. I slowly slid Bloodlust and Omega out of their sheaths on my back and kicked open the door. I, coincidentally, saw my target doing a robbery. Everyone in the room looked over at me shocked as I casually said, "Well, how about that, I find my target on the same day I came after her." I then rushed forward, not giving Silvia any time to react.
