"I'm going to them"
Percy says standing up from the couch only to be abruptly pulled down to sit. "No you're not," L barked. Percy glared at him. "I'm going to find them! I'll—"
"Without Nico?"
"I'll find a way—"
"And get lost in the Shades?"
"I won't! I—"
"Give it up, Percy!" L says. "I said no, and what I say goes." L says. Everyone inside the room tenses. The room had a long sofa. And two small couches on the right and left sides all of them facing a centre table. They were inside a room inside one of the igloos. The others and the hunters were outside doing whatever stuff. When Artemis started to worry, she almost literally killed Percy until he passed the burden to his patrons. So now, Artemis was almost literally killing them instead. Percy winced and muttered an apology to his patrons in his head when he told Artemis to ask questions to them.
Inside the room was four people. Ten were missing in the meeting. Together, the fourteen represented the most powerful of the Pack. The seven of them, were currently stiff and tense at what was happening.
"Well, I said," Percy says slowly, "I'm," he says. "going to," he adds. "Find them" he finishes. The two others groaned. This hasn't happened in a while. If only Thalia and Nico hadn't gone missing. They were the ones who stopped their fights. Now they were the ones causing it.
"Do you challenge my word, then," L says simply. Percy shot him a glare. "No, of course not," he huffs. As if he would ever challenge L's position. "Then know you're place. Percy, you are the Ace of the team, yes. But calling the shots is not in the job description of the Ace, got it? Someone cool him off. You're not thinking straight"
Now, when L said cool off, he meant it literally. One of the others summoned some Antarctic ice (all of the pack has the ability to summon ice fresh from Antarctica. It was literally for the use for situations like this.) With a flick of a finger, Percy was dumped on water from one of the coldest place on Earth.
"Thanks," Percy muttered glaring at the floor. "Good, now let's discuss this calmly—"
L was cut off when everyone, except Percy that is, was sprinkled with cold Antartic water.
"PERCY!" All of them scolded
"Whaat? I was drying off" He says
"Mutt" one of them muttered. "Oh, you're one to talk, V" Percy says barking a laugh.
"Okay, okay, concentrate guys. Are siblings are stuck in somewhere that are, at some points, worse than Tartarus. Percy," L says calling out an attention. "Say I allowed you to rush away, say you went looking for them," L says. "What were you about to do?" he asks raising an eyebrow. And then Percy blushed sheepishly and produced an obsidian stone.
"It's induced with Nico's energy. The three of us have each of our powers. Or at least some of it. If you cut enough, and put it under your skin, it'd give you the inducers power momentarily," he says kind of embarrassed. "It's dangerous though. You have to be gradually exposed little by little to the energy of the inducer or it can just corrupt your whole system. That's why we haven't given it to any of you yet"
They all scrunched up their eyebrows. Cut deep enough and bury the stone under the skin? Man that's morbid. Must be Mars' idea. "What if it corrupts yours?" J asked concerned. "It won't. I've been feeding on death breath's and pinecone face's energy for a long time. And they in mine so we're more or less good with these"
"But how would you be able to enter the Shadows, the Shades?" L says. "I'll have to wing it"
"This is suicide!" V says but a plan was already formulating in his head
"They're lost!"
"Consider us found"
They all turned to the voice. Two bodies were now passing from a dark void to their ranch.
"HOLY STYX NICO!"
"THALIA!"
The four of them rushed towards the two. "Get them in the sofa, now!" L says. Nico and Thalia were so weak. And so light. They could really have been as light as child's bottom (what? It's the 27th century. The linggo had to get worse somehow eh? Feathers were out rated).
"Nico what happened?" They had no energy to talk.
Percy groaned. "You two," he sighs as if it was the biggest burden he had. "I can feel the blood inside you. You two have internal bleeding. You're going to make me heal you, aren't you? And then, give you energy. Oipho," Percy cussed.
The two only managed to grin and their eyes were getting heavy and—
"Shit no you don't! V! Get X! We need these two awake if they don't want to spend time with Tarty—
"Tarty?"
"Tartarus—ARGH V! NOT THE POINT DAMNIT. Just get X! Now!"
In a second, X appeared in the room. "Hahaha yeah that was funny wasn—wah?" He looked around and saw that he wasn't talking to K anymore. And then his senses picked up Nico and Thalia's sleepiness
"Holy shit, Thals" he says and right away he knew what he had to do. "J, once I fall asleep from absorbing their sleep too much, whatever happens, don't wake me" he says them and X sits down as if to meditate and Thalia and Nico felt their sleepiness go away somewhere.
Percy was worried as hell. He balled his fist. Water blobbed around it and he punched Nico in the gut. "Gah! This is for being careless!" And then did the same to Thalia "And this is for worrying everyone!"
V whispered to L, "you sure he isn't killing them?" L shook his head amused. "Nah? See when his hands contact? He's fixing the internal bleeding. As Percy continued to "punish" them, they became slightly less pale.
"Percy, you're going to need to unlock one of them if you want to restore both of the amount they lost" L says. Percy nodded. And a finally punch with "And this is for having so much energy damnit! Now I have to replace a fraction of them! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A FRACTION OF YOUR ENERGY IS!?" and the internal bleeding was now controlled.
What? Over 717 years, though Percy is kind natured, he had to have an anger outlet somehow. And trust him, it's much much worse when it's Nico who's healing, damnit. And if it's Thalia? You're better off praying that they don't bother healing you. (But don't tell her that). But hey, they're cousins. These thoughts played on L's mind which brought a chuckle.
L grabbed V and J, and the other three and transported them to another room. It had a pool of sea water. He dropped V and J on the floor "Hey!" "Aw!" and dumped the other three to the water. The sea water should be enough to give him a boost and a mental block from the flashbacks Percy's scar gave him when he used too much energy.
The bright light consumed the whole room and L flashed V and J out of there. They flashed to Hestia (and therefore saving Mars from Artemis's wrath) and told them the report.
Hestia's eyebrows scrunched. First the massive number of monsters all over the world. And then this. This really isn't good.
AN:
