Managing to get to her feet, although rather shakily, Padmé let out a gasping breath, before she headed into the kitchen, needing to chug down some water to quench her thirst. Once done, she walked back into the living room, and climbed on the air mattress left out for her and Anita. Closing her eyes, she fell asleep, though she was immensely worried about her people, she was tired.
Percy walked out of the room, leaving his mother, and his other present lovers, asleep in the bed, while he slipped out of the house, and climbed up to the roof. Sitting down, he crossed his legs, and closed his eyes, breathing in and out very deeply. His thoughts raced, as he pondered on what to do and how to do it.
'How exactly am I supposed to evacuate all of these humans? It's not like they would even believe me if I tried to tell them about my dreams and feelings. Hell they don't even believe in gods, well not some gods, anyways. Though, now that I think about it, I would imagine that perhaps some of the gods or goddesses may choose to come with us. I can probably predict which ones would, at least which Greek or Roman ones would. For that matter, how the hell are Leo, and the other crafting and inventive demigods going to have such large ships created? I hope, for Padmè's sake, that Hephaestus can get that part fixed quick enough. Her people are depending on it, after all. I know what it's like to be in charge of a large group of people, to have an entire planet riding on your shoulders. It sucks.
Maybe mom could offer some insight? Annabeth or Reyna could be a good choice to ask, though I will have to wait for the three of them to wake up. I probably should have held back. I wonder how the three of them would react to finding out that Padmé was watching us all have sex? Should be amusing.' the young man thought to himself.
"Everything seems to be heating up, many things are coming into motion. This ominous feeling I am getting though, I don't know what it is, but I don't like it." he mused to himself, out loud. The hair on the back of his neck started to stand up, he could feel a powerful, hateful, angry presence behind him, a malevolent force of death and destruction.
Narrowing his eyes, the powerful demigod let his own aura start to build up, channeling his inner blood lust, he turned around, and locked eyes with the visitor. He allowed his desire to see this monster, to witness his own death, by looking into his eyes. Percy, taking advantage of the stranger's distracted brief fear, studied him for a moment.
Garbed in black robes, with a black tunic, black boots, and possessing a light saber, Percy's first thought was this was another Jedi, however the negative feelings he was being projected, rejected that notion, quite firmly. The man had red skin, with black markings all over his visible face, yellow horns on top of his head, and sickly yellow and red eyes.
'Strange. What manner of creature is he? What does he want? Why is he here? He is dressed similar to Qui Gon, but with reverse colors. Though he does possess a light saber, so maybe he is some kind of intergalactic bounty hunter, that killed a Jedi and stole his weapon? Could he by chance, be after Padmé? I guess there's only one way to really find out.' Percy thought to himself, before pulling Anaklusmos out, and clicking the top, the glowing blade appeared, causing the black wearing warrior to shrink himself away for a brief minute.
Not waiting for him to get his bearings, the sea warrior rushed at him, swinging his sword with fast and wild strikes. The mystery man ducked to the ground and rolled to the side, before quickly unclipping his light saber, holding it out and horizontally, two red hot, blades, the color of blood, hummed to life, causing Percy's eyes to go wide.
"Okay, was not expecting that. Didn't know they came in red, nor did I know they came in a double form. Is that some kind of exclusive club or something? Why do you wear all black, don't you know they make other colors?" Percy taunted his opponent.
The man snarled at the demigod, "Quiet insect! You aren't even worth my time or effort! Tell me where the queen is, and I may spare your wretched life, failure to comply will result in your immediate death. Choose wisely, worm!"
"Wow, so intense. You really should get some help, that level of anger and hatred is unhealthy, it's not natural. In fact, I know a good therapist, I think I have his card here somewhere. Just call the number on the bottom, and tell him Jackson sent you, okay? Don't worry, the cost is on the house. Don't forget to take your free pen from the office either." Percy mocked the man, pissing him off even more.
The shadowy warrior was growling, seething with rage, "You low life, base instinct, filthy, fucking abomination. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?! I AM DARTH MAUL! SITH APPRENTICE TO DARTH SIDIOUS! I WILL BE THE END OF YOU, MAGGOT!"
"Darth Maul, huh? Is that supposed to mean something to me? Gotta say, not impressed." Percy said, with such a disappointed look on his face, aimed at the now named, Darth Maul.
"Oh don't worry. Impression isn't my forte, no, I deal in death! I hope your final will and testament has been filled out, and your next of kin identified." the sith acolyte called out, before running at the demigod, and swinging his light saber, trying to hit Percy with both sides.
"I wouldn't worry to much about me, wouldn't be the first time I have come back from the dead. Probably won't be the last either. I have a very good track record when it comes to either impressing people, or pissing them off. What can I say? It's a gift." he said back, before countering Maul's attack with his own celestial bronze blade, Anaklusmos.
The two began trading blows, Percy managing to keep up, despite using one sword, against Maul's double plasma blade. Percy, seeing an opening, spartan kicked Maul, throwing him back. Maul slammed against the upper edge of the roof.
"Tell me something, Maul. Why do you want the queen? What has she done to you, to earn your attention and ire? I have only been around her for barely two days, and I can tell she has a good heart. I don't see how or why, you would be after her." he spoke chillingly, unknowingly causing Maul to fear, it was the same instinctual feeling he got, when he spoke to his master, the one that said, 'if you fuck this up, I will fuck you up!'
'Fuck! That kick really fucking hurt! This boy is stronger than he looks, or even gives off. I can't feel the force here either, something isn't right here. How has his blade not melted when coming into contact with my own? It looks just like common metal. I can't deny my own curiousness about this warrior, despite his age, he is clearly a warrior.' Maul thought to himself, as he gazed at his very worthy adversary.
"You are good, I will give you that. Since you actually managed to injure me and push me back, I will answer you this. My master has given me instructions to abduct the queen, take her back to her planet, and force her to sign the trade federation's treaty. Now since I answered you, give me the answer to my own questions. How is that blade not a pile of melted metal by now? How are you so powerful? That kick hurt. Why can I not feel the force on this planet? For that matter, who in the fuck even are you!?" Maul spoke.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Percy smirked, before sprinting at his enemy, bringing riptide down, with Maul holding his saber up, the two clashing.
"Aw, aren't you cute? I wonder how cute you will be when I gut you like a fish!" Maul spat.
"Bitch please, I'm fucking adorable! Why would you want to gut a fish?! Don't you know they're friends?!" Percy grinned mockingly at his very annoyed enemy. Said enemy, just glared at Percy, and said, "I'm going to kill you, and I will enjoy it very much!"
"You're welcome to try." Percy snorted.
The two of them started spinning around, clashing blade against blade, moving around in circles all over the rooftop. Eventually, Percy started to gain the upper hand, ducking under a wide swing, he brought his blade up, and cut through the acolyte's hands, before grabbing his head and bringing it down, slamming his knee into the man's face. Percy then used his feet, and not taking his eyes off his opponent, kicked the saber behind him.
"FUCK!" the man screamed out, as he staggered backwards, blood rushing down his face. "Wait don't kill me, please, I can speak to the Jedi council and tell them who the sith lord is! I can tell them about his plans, please don't kill me!" Percy looked down at the warrior with contempt in his eyes, before scoffing at him, "Fine, get up, wretched scum! There happens to be a Jedi in the house, he can decide your fate."
"Oh thank you, thank you. I can assure you, you won't regret this, not one minute." Maul said, his head lowered, and unseen to Percy, a sinister smile was plastered on Maul's face.
'You won't even be alive to regret it for a minute. How dare you make a mockery of me, Darth Maul?! I will kill you!' the deranged Zabrak thought to himself. Reaching out with the force, he mentally grabbed onto his saber, and pulled it fast towards Percy, and Percy, feeling something was wrong, the wind was slightly rustling, he could feel something approaching, jumped up into the air, and back flipped.
Just in the nick of time, the man's fallen saber flew through where Percy was just standing, and pierced the man right through the heart. The man wore a look of surprise and brief pain on his face, before the light left his eyes.
Percy just shook his head in disgust, before grabbing his body, and jumping off the roof, and slipping in the house. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he dragged Maul's body to the back porch, threw it out there, and then went to sleep in his mother's room, on the air mattress, since the women were using the other bed.
Sally had woken up before anyone else, except Qui Gon, that is. Though the two of them weren't up by themselves for very long, about an hour and half. Sally was getting breakfast cooked, she even had some morning tea and coffee heated up ready to serve. Apparently the demigods' stomach and nose counted as alarm clocks.
The three of them, along with Padmé walked into the kitchen, and sat down at the table, not long after, Anita appeared at the table, mouth watering at the sight of plates covered in delicious looking food. French toast, Pancakes, Sausages, Bacon, Ham steaks, bowls of Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns, bowls of fruits of all kinds, bananas, strawberries, oranges, apples, along with a tub of butter, and bottles of different assortments of Syrup, such as Raspberry, Blueberry, Maple, and Strawberry. All in all, it was a breakfast fit for kings and queens.
Anita's eyes went bigger and bigger as she saw the large spread before her, she wasn't the only one, even Qui Gon and Padmé had huge eyes, seeing the vast amount of food in front of them.
"Sally, if it's alright with you, then perhaps we could invite the rest of our crew? There's more here than we can all eat, I'm sure, and our other crew members could use a good, hearty, home cooked meal." Qui Gon asked their hostess, who nodded her head with a big smile on her face.
"That's fine with me. There's plenty to go around. Though perhaps, you could explain, just why there is a DEAD BODY ON MY BACK PORCH, PERSEUS?!" Sally spoke gently, before turning to Percy with fire blazing in her eyes.
Percy, being slightly taken aback, took a moment, and thinking about his response, said to Qui Gon before he left, "Actually about that, I was going to have Qui Gon come and see the body, because I am sure the Jedi council will want to know about it and see it. The man, he said his name was Darth Maul, spoke about a Jedi council and some master of his. We fought last night, he tried to kill me and it backfired on him."
Qui Gon, from the moment of hearing the title, Darth, became very worried, however hearing that Perseus killed him, put him somewhat at ease.
"Very well, then, where is your back porch? I will take the body with me, back to our ship, and make sure it is taken care of properly. If it truly said it's name was Darth, then I fear we have big problems." Qui Gon spoke worriedly.
Getting up, Percy walked over to the back porch, Qui Gon joined him. Opening the back door and stepping out onto the hard, cold, cement floor, they gazed down at the sith's body. Qui Gon's eyes widened.
'This is the same being that fought me on Tatooine, when I was bringing Anita back to the ship! It was a sith?! No wonder it was well trained in the Jedi arts! The council is not going to like or believe this! Perseus must be more powerful than I previously thought, if he was able to kill this warrior.' Qui Gon inner vocalized to himself.
Wrapping the body up in some old cloth, the two then carried it out the back door, and to the ship, Percy using the Mist to cover it up. Upon their arriving at the ship, Qui Gon used his bond with Obi Wan to wake him up and lower the ramp.
After securing the body, and stowing it away for the moment, everyone aboard the ship got presentable enough to sit at a table. Heading back to Sally's, Obi Wan kept stealing glances at Percy.
'His force presence is rather strange. Actually, there are many strange presences here. What are they? Where are they? Who are they? Why are they so strange? I don't like it.' the padawan thought to himself.
Once back at his mother's home, Percy walked up to his mother, and spoke to her, softly in her ear, "after we get done eating, and I finish cleaning up, I need to talk to you, it's important."
Sally, seeing the intense gaze in her son's eyes, just nodded her head. Once everyone had been seated, the food was served, (Sally heated it all up, while Percy and Qui Gon were hauling Maul away).
Making light conversation while they all ate. Wanting to know about the culture, people, history, and basically everything else about the planet, Padmé and Anita bombarded Sally with questions, who redirected them to Annabeth, who laughed and answered every question she was asked.
Qui Gon, however, was deeply conversing with Perseus.
"Perseus, do you truly believe the gods are helping us? What about this Leo character? Can he be trusted to help us with the ship?" hearing the Jedi ask this, Percy thought best on how to answer.
"Well, master Jinn, the thing about gods are, they always have a reason for doing something, and about nine times out of ten, they are doing it to get something out of it. Hephaestus is one of the good ones though, so if he says he will have it ready, then I believe him. As for Leo, well, he's a good friend of mine, and one of Nico's boyfriends. I would trust him with my life, he's a bit socially awkward, but his heart's in the right place. Though I do think I will have to speak to Hephaestus and Athena about commissioning and building more ships. We will need many more if I am to accomplish my mission." Percy started out strong, but mumbled the last bit about his own mission.
While Qui Gon heard it, he chose to ignore it, feeling like it was none of his business. Once their meal was done, Percy, Reyna, and Annabeth cleaned up the kitchen, and then the three of them, along with Sally, walked back to her room. Closing the door, the two younger women threw up a barrier, to prevent anyone overhearing or eavesdropping on their conversation.
"So, Percy, what is so important? What's going on? What's wrong? Also, where is Nico?!" Sally asked.
"Well mom, Nico stayed at the camp getting votes and answers to the question, of who wants to go with us to space. Here's a quick, brief rundown of what's going on and what's wrong…." Percy told Sally everything, from his feelings, to his dreams, to his own emotions, of course, Annabeth and Reyna heard as well.
By the time he was finished, all three of them looked lost in thought. Evidently they were trying to decide what to do.
"So as you can see, we are in a big predicament here. I have Leo and Hephaestus making the ship part, but I may have to cash in a favor and get Hephaestus, Hecate, and Athena to use magic to make some more ships. There's a lot of demigods around after all, and that's not even counting the nature spirits that want to come, or the Amazons if they wish to join us. Though I don't know about the hunters, and I would prefer to not have to deal with them and their sexist, arrogant, egotistical, feminist bullshit, all the way to the galactic republic. I think I have to give up on saving the human race though, that is, if my nightmares come true. According to Magnus, and Carter though, it might, because their gods are gearing up for war as well." Percy said, with an air of exhaustion surrounding him.
Sally stayed sitting on her bed for a few minutes, her mind racing through her thoughts, before she ultimately decided on her answer.
So yes, the Jedi and sith can't feel the force on earth, but they can still use watered down abilities through the force, but no intense things, like force judgment/lightning, stuff like that, they can't use.
Maul makes a surprise appearance. Yes Percy beat him, yes Maul tried to kill Percy dishonorably, but Percy didn't die.
Will Maul stay dead? Who knows?
Probably not going to have any humans go into space, simply because giving a way or reason would be hard, so yeah.
Where should all of the demigods go? Naboo? Mandalore? Coruscant?
I am thinking on making Qui Gon x Shmi. Thoughts?
Sally, should she be pregnant? Let me know, same with Reyna and Annabeth.
Goddesses, titanesses, and Primordial goddesses will be joining the demigods on their voyages into space.
Not sure how I will get nature spirits to go though. Oh well I might be able to figure something out, lol
Anaklusmos wasn't melted by Maul's saber for a few reasons. 1.) celestial bronze, in this fic, was created by gods and divine monsters, so yea not so easy to destroy, and 2.) Anaklusmos is like Percy, heat resistant here.
Do you guys want Percy to have sex with any potential daughters he has? I am already more than likely going to have him romantically/sexually involved with Leia, so if yes, then tell me who their mother is (your preference).
Jedi master(s) for demigods, dueling/light saber combat form for demigods, force abilities for demigods, Jedi attachments forbidden yes or no?
Not sure how long this fic will be, or what era(s) I will use in it. Though some villains and stuff would also be appreciated, would love to hear thoughts and suggestions.
If any other questions/concerns, then PM me (Wattpad or FFN) and I will reply back in a PM.
Later people, gotta work on the other fics.
