AN: Welp the new order Theseus is scrapped, good thing I prepared for something like that.
Ch 15 Meeting
Soon enough, it was time for PE. Something Percy silently dreaded after what happened during English Class,
Percy waited for Tyson to change into his Gym Uniform, he stood guard while Tyson changed in the stall. He felt awkward doing it, but he suspects that's because the big fella has a hairy back or nasty scars he wants to keep hidden. He doesn't want to pry.
Tyson exited the stall, finishing changing into his Gym Uniform. "Percy…" He spoke shyly,
The black-haired Boy smiles at Tyson, standing next to him. "You finished changing, Big Guy?" Percy asked, receiving a nod from him. "Let's go before Mr. Nunley starts looking for us."
"Okay…" Tyson responded, following Percy out of the changing room.
Standing before the Volleyball net, Percy and Tyson looked at Matt Sloan with his two Lackeys smirking. The Coach, Mr. Nunley was sitting at his desk, reading some sports magazine.
Sloan looks at the Coach, "Hey, Coach, can I be Captain?" He asked the old Teacher.
Mr. Nunley didn't bother to look up, but he did respond to Sloan's question. "Hmm? Sure…mmm…" The old Coach didn't bat an eye at the game,
Percy just gave a blank stare at the Coach, seeing he was no help in this situation. "P-Percy…" The black-haired Boy turns to Tyson, trembling with fear.
"Hey Big Guy, don't worry. We got this," Percy said, mentally sighing that they were clearly going to lose. On Sloan's side was him and two of his lackeys who were big for Kids, as for their side….were himself, Tyson, the Calculous Wizard Raj Mandali, and half of a dozen other Kids Sloan picked on.
"Here I go!" Sloan went first, serving the Ball from the other end.
Walking outside of the Prep School, Ritsuka walks as if he's just visiting like any other visitor to the School. It's decided when they exit the Taxi that Paris will act as Ritsuka's Little Brother, searching for a place for Preschool.
Caenis will follow behind in her Spirit Form to draw less attention to them. The Apollos will obviously act as stuffed toys that Paris can't let go of,
'Master, up ahead. Someone is sneaking into the School,' Caenis informed her master through their Bond. 'They're just ahead next to the side,' She continued, observing the Intruder.
Ritsuka and the others looked where Caenis saw the Intruder was. The Magus squinted his eyes, unable to see what Caenis was seeing. "I don't see the Intruder you were talking about, Lancer." He said.
'That's because the Intruder is using a Mystic Code that hides their presence.' Caenis continued, looking at a door opened suddenly by no one. 'Most likely it's a Divine Construct a God gave to their Child.'
The Living Apollo nodded, confirming what the Lostbelt Servant suspected. "Yep, some of us Gods give our Children a little something that helps them along the way against Monsters that might come after them." The God of the Sun informed the Chaldeans. "Though, I wonder why a Demi-God would enter a School while hiding their presence…"
The Chaldean Apollo spoke up, sharing his thoughts. "Well, there's only one way to find out then." The Little Sheep said, saying the thing that was on everyone's mind. "Scratch the first plan and just go inside,"
"Let's go everyone," Ritsuka said, leading the Servants and Olympian God into the School and sneaking inside.
Once inside the School, Ritsuka, Paris, and both Apollos search the Halls for the Demi-God who just entered or the Demonic Beasts Caenis detected.
Ritsuka looks at the Archer and the Gods, "This School is too big to search for the Demi-God and Demonic Beasts at the same time." The master of Chaldea stated, "Lancer-"
'I got it, search the School while in Spirit Form. I know the gist, master.' The Lancer said, already on her way to begin the search.
Paris looks at his master and decides to stay with him. "Master, I can't allow you to go on your own where Demonic Beasts are somewhere in the School." The Archer said,
The Chaldean Apollo nodded, agreeing with his host. "Paris does have a point, you're still Human after all." The Sheep stated.
"Alright, while Lancer is looking for the Demonic Beasts, let's look for the Demi-God," Ritsuka said to the Servants and God.
The four walked around the School, Ritsuka using his Magecraft used a cloaking Spell that hides him and the others temporarily. Soon enough, the Living Apollo spoke up. "Hey, Ritsuka, right over there." He points his hooves to the lockers,
The Magus and Archer look at lockers, seeing them open and then closed, like someone is using them. "Most likely that's our Demi-God." Ritsuka quickly and silently heads over to where the lockers moved.
Soon enough Ritsuka grabbed hold of what seemed to be a shoulder, he could hear tiny gasps before feeling the Person step back and bumped into the lockers. The Mystic Code that kept the Demi-God hidden fell off of their head, revealing a Girl around her early preteens.
She has blonde hair, tanned skin with grey eyes, a purple shirt, and dark jeans. On her back was a bag filled with supplies. "So this is the Demi-God that snuck into the School," Ritsuka said, seeing that this Demi-God was just a Child.
The young Girl gave a stoic expression at Ritsuka, seeing he could sense her despite hiding her presence. "What do you want? I can tell you're not an ordinary Person because you saw through my Hat." She said boldly, standing firm before the Magus.
Paris with the Apollos in hand steps beside him and looks at the Demi-God for himself. The Living Apollo on the Archer's shoulders looked at the Demi-God, remembering her from the last time. "Oh hey, that's Annabeth Chase."
"You know her, Lord Apollo?" Paris asked the Living God on his shoulders.
The Sheep nodded, informing his Allies of who this Demi-God was. "She's the Daughter of Athena. Like her Mother, she's strong-willed, smart and levelheaded." Apollo explains, "That's what Athena told me anyway."
Annabeth Chase looks at the golden Sheep, sensing a familiarity with him. "Wait, Apollo?" She asked, questioning why the God of the Sun was here. "Why is he here, and as a Sheep!?" She asked, unsure what was going on.
The Chaldean Apollo spoke up, "Well, simple. We're here on a mission to save this Percy Jackson Kid from an Enemy that attacked the Camp." The God explains to the young Girl.
The blonde Demi-God turns to the second talking Sheep, also sharing the same familiarity as the first one, especially with their voice. "A-A second Apollo? Okay, this is confusing, how come there are two Apollos now where there should be only one?" Annabeth asked, feeling like she was going to have a headache as she continued to think too much about it.
Ritsuka sighs, turning to the Gods of the Sun. "You two, try not to break her mind. She's way too young for your mischief." The Magus said, looking at Annabeth to better explain the situation to her. "Annabeth, right? We came here from Camp-Half Blood to…"
After explaining things to the Daughter of Athena, Annabeth calmed down a bit. "So guys came after the Camp was attacked by the Enemy which was a distraction and their true target was Percy. Am I missing something there?" Annabeth asked the Magus of Chaldea.
"Nope, you're actually spot on." The Chaldean Apollo commented, seeing the Athena trait clear as Day. "Grail, you really are Athena's Daughter. Just wait until Minerva hears about this." He commented.
Ritsuka nodded, looking at Annabeth. "What he said is correct, we're here to get Percy and take him back to the Camp." He explains to the young Demi-God before asking his own question. "My question is, how come you're here, Annabeth?" She asked her.
Annabeth could tell this stranger wasn't lying, and if he had Apollo(s) with him, then he could be trusted. "The same as you. Not too long ago, I got a letter from Chiron saying the Camp was attacked too."
"Based on your arrival, it's not too long ago, right?" Paris asked, noting how they just arrived at the same time.
"Not exactly, I just came here two days ago to check on my Friend," Annabeth commented before getting to the point. "Since you came to get Percy and get him to the Camp, how about we work together for now? Our goals are the same anyways,"
Ritsuka chuckles, liking the young blonde Preteen's quick idea. "You read my mind-" Just when they were about to seal the deal, an explosion came from down the Halls. "That was an explosion just now,"
"Master, it came from down the Hallway," Paris informed him, his eyes caught Annabeth stepping forward.
"That's where the Gym is, Percy must have Gym Class right now," Annabeth sensed a few Monsters in the direction of the Gymnasium. "And there a Monsters there,"
Ritsuka nodded, "Right, let's go. Lancer is probably making her way there as we speak." The Magus informed the young Demi-God.
Annabeth looks at Ritsuka, surprised to hear there was one more Person that joined them. "You got another Person with you?" She asked,
Ritsuka smiles, giving Annabeth a wordless answer. "Master, there are some Demonic Beasts right outside the School." The Archer informed his master,
"More Monsters? This is extremely strange, usually, they don't group together like this." The Living Apollo commented, seeing this troublesome.
Ritsuka thought for a moment before looking at Annabeth. "Annabeth. Can you go by yourself to save your Friend?" He asked the Daughter of Athena.
Annabeth nodded, determined to save him. "I am,"
"Master?" Paris asked his master, wondering what he was planning.
"'Kay, Archer, you me, and Apollo will handle the Demonic Beasts outside the School," Ritsuka informed the Archer and the Gods.
"Practical, alright master. We'll follow your lead." The Chaldean Apollo commented, agreeing with the plan.
Annabeth smiles, always planning to get Percy. "Then I'll be going, we'll meet outside the School." She placed on her Hat, disappearing before them.
At the Gym, Percy huffs, dodging the many dodgeballs that were shot right at him. He looks back, seeing most of his Classmates all run and head to find cover.
"Coach!" Percy cried out to the Teacher on the sideline.
"Play nice everyone," Percy looks at Couch Nunley, who was still reading the Paper. Even if he was paying attention to the game, with a Magical Force called Mist, any Human could only see what any other Person could see.
A bunch of Eight-Graders pounding their lower Classmen,
Looking back at Sloan's side, well, not Sloan's side anymore. The two Lackeys that were following him around the School have transformed into Monsters. Two big Monsters with grey skin and horns, however, something was different from the normal ones he'd encountered before.
The two of the Monsters have some Cybernetic upgrades to them. Their arms are all shiny and metallic, almost like Mercury. Sloan had run away from the moment they revealed their true selves and threw fire dodgeballs at them.
The fireballs missed, almost hitting Raji Mandali who saw the entrance door. They all banged on them, calling for anyone to help to open the door.
"Let them go!" Percy cried out, glaring at the two Monsters before him.,
"Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God." The one who was called Joe Bob spoke, holding the bronze fireball in his hands smirked, "We Laistrygonians aren't playing around for your Death. Archer told us we can have you for Lunch once we get rid of you."
Percy paused for a second, 'Archer? Who in Tartarus is Archer?' The young Demi-God was brought out of his thoughts, jumping away from a fireball aimed right at him.
However, the ball was heading straight for one of his Classmates. "Corey!" Percy exclaims, warning him to move out of the way.
Corey was frozen with fear, seeing the bronze fireball hurling straight for him. He shuts his eyes, waiting for a world of pain.
Tyson steps in, pulling Corey by his arms, and hides him behind some mats. "Go to the locker room and use that exit!" Percy points to the lockers, watching everyone head in that direction.
He then looks down, knowing that his Pen/Sword, Riptide was in the pocket of his jeans. Which was in the lockers, "Nobody leaves until we eat every last one of you!" The Monster roared at the Children.
Percy is about to join them, his motive, get Riptide so he can take care of the Monsters. Just when he was about to start running, a bronze fireball hurled straight for him.
The young Demi-God didn't have time to react, the fireball was inches away. Percy shut his eyes, expecting a whole lot of pain and burning sensation,
"Percy!" Percy opened his eyes, seeing Tyson push him to the ground as the fireball burst upon contact.
"TYSON!" Percy exclaims, seeing a pillar of flames where Tyson once stood. However, what came next surprised him,
Instead of a brunt Kid who's beyond healing, Tyson caught the blazing ball and tossed it back at the Cybernetic Monsters screaming Bad at them.
The Monsters were too shocked to even realize the danger, the blazing ball hit one of them causing one to dissipate. The one called Joe Bob turns and looks at the two with his remaining Brother. "You'll pay for what you did to our Brother!" He stated,
The two Monsters rushed for the two,
Percy came to Tyson's side who was kneeling on the ground. "Come on, Big Guy. We gotta get out of here." He said, holding one of his large arms.
Tyson nodded, struggling to get up. Whatever the bronze fireball was made of, it took a lot from him to toss it back.
"Come on, we-" Percy looked up, seeing it was too late. The Monsters were on top of them, smirking at him.
"Heheheh, finally, Lunch time-UGHK!" The first Monster belched out blood from his mouth, unsure what could even pierce his upgraded body.
"B-Brother, what-" Joe Bob, Percy, and Tyson froze, seeing a golden tipped Spear thrusting itself through the Monster's chest.
Looking at who pierced him, they all saw a tan Woman with white hair wearing white armor standing behind the first Monster. "Tch, so even Laistrygonians are here in the Modern Age? What the Hell is with this World," She pulled her Spear back, causing a gush of blood filled with bits of metallic liquid to fly. (Insert [FGO] Lostbelt 5.1 (Mountainous Interstellar City - Olympos) - Battle BGM)
"Ugh…" The Monster fell to his knees before disbursing into black smoke.
Percy got a good look at the Woman who just killed a Laistrygonian with ease. He blushed, realizing that what she was wearing was completely indecent, "W-What are you wearing!? You have nothing covering your…your…." He gulps, unsure how to even explain it to her.
"Covering my what? My chest? Yeah, got a problem with my outfit, Brat?" Caenis asked, glaring at Percy and Tyson, 'Tch, they stench of him. Wait…this-he's a freaking Servant!?' Shaking her head, that is something to deal with later.
Tyson looks at the Servant, feeling something familiar within her. "D-Da-"
Joe Bob steps back, seeing another of his Brother was killed. "W-Who are you!? How did you even kill my Brother!? The Theos something, Archer gave told us that we would be invisible!" The Laistrygonian stated,
Caenis mindlessly twirls her Spear, "Well, you're allied with Archer of Crete then. That makes me all want to kill you more." The Lancer grins, holding both her Spear and Shield.
"AGGGHH!" Joe Bob roars, raising his fist at Caenis.
Percy looked forward, seeing what was going to happen. "Watch out!"
Caenis ignores the Demi-God, holding her Shield up. The impact echoes throughout the Gymnasium, "Been a while since I have gotten myself into a good fight!" The Lostbelt Servant stated, lunging forward, thrusting her Spear into Joe Bob's body.
Joe Bob roared in pain, stepping back from Caenis and swatting her away. "Y-You! I-GAAHH!" His body soon dissipates after being stabbed right behind him. (End Song)
Percy saw Joe Bob's body turned to smoke, behind him was a familiar face. "A-Annabeth?" He questions if the Girl right before him is really his Friend.
The blonde Girl smiles, holding a Dagger in her hands. Annabeth looks at Percy, "You know the Cops will be here soon." She said to him.
"H-How did- when did you-" Percy got up from the floor and he helped Tyson up.
"I arrived a few days ago, this morning I was there for all of it." Annabeth explains to Percy, "I've been finding the time to speak with you properly, but you weren't alone-"
Caenis approaches the three, she then points her Spear at Tyson. "One more Monster to go." The Lancer raised her Spear,
Tyson whimpers, looking terrified. "P-Percey…"
Percy steps in front of Tyson, defending him from the Woman who saved them. "I won't let you hurt Tyson after you saved us." The Demi-God Son of Poseidon stated,
"Move out of the way, Brat. That thing isn't what you think he is." Caenis stated, ready to cut down Percy despite being the Boy they were looking for.
"No, I will not move," Percy stated, standing his ground.
Annabeth intervenes, sensing more Monsters outside. "We can't waste our time with him, we have to meet up with that Guy outside," She said, not getting his Name right away.
Caenis clicked her tongue, seeing she had a point. "Fine, but we're going to deal with him later, got it?" The Divine Spirit stated to which Annabeth agrees.
"Come on, Percy. We don't have any moment to lose." Annabeth grabbed hold of Percy and left the Gym.
"Wait, Annabeth! I forgot Riptide in the lockers!" Percy said, informing the blonde Girl before she took him away.
After retrieving Riptide and telling everyone who hid in the lockers to go, they proceeded to go to the Exit.
Percy turns around, seeing Caenis lugging Tyson over her shoulders. 'Wow, she's strong…' He said, not expecting the Lancer to be that strong.
"I'll explain later, but right now you need to trust us." The blonde Demi-God said, leading the group to an exit right outside the Gym.
An alarm went off on Coach Nunley's watch, prompting him to turn it off. "Okay, that's game-" He paused, seeing the destruction before him. "What happened!?"
Percy followed Annabeth outside of his Prep School, heading to the Emergency Exit. "Annabeth, can you explain what is going on here? And why are we heading to the Emergency Exit?" He asked his Friend,
"There's no time to explain things properly, but for now we're going to meet someone who's going to clear a path for us from the Monsters," Annabeth explains what is happening currently.
"Wait, Monsters!? There's Monsters waiting outside of my School!?" The group exited the School, meeting with a bunch of Monsters waiting for them.
They were mists covering the area, indicating they were using Mist to hide themselves from the Humans. "W-Wha-that's one large group of Monsters," Percy commented, never seeing anything like this.
Percy and Annabeth found it strange that the Monsters were acting like a small Gang. Almost like someone was controlling their movements and commanding them.
Percy looked up, wasn't sure but he could swear he saw someone flying over the Monsters through the Mist. "Is it me or someone is…flying there…" He asked, pointing to the area before flying away.
"He flew…bye-bye…" Tyson also noticed the Person flying and watched him leave.
Suddenly a bright light hurls straight for the group of Monsters. A large explosion killed many of the Monsters that went charging, leaving none before them.
"What just happened?" Percy asked, seeing what once a group of Monsters was now turning to dust. "There was a large number of Monsters and now…"
"They're gone," Annabeth said before hearing some footsteps approaching them.
"It seems you were able to find Percy, Annabeth." Percy looked at who was speaking to them. He saw a black-haired young Man with blue eyes. He wore a simple white shirt and black pants with boots.
Next to him was a small Girl with two Sheep sitting on her shoulders. In her hands was a large crossbow that was still smoking. "I-I-Um, did that shot come from you?" He asked, unsure if that was really her.
"Of course it did, I was able to fire a powerful Arrow thanks to Lord Apollos," Paris exclaims, showing gratitude to the two Sun Gods on his shoulders.
The Chaldean Apollo chuckles, "It's best to get rid of all the Demonic Beasts at once, or else we'll have a huge situation if they find out about the Demonic Beasts." He stated.
"I wouldn't worry about it, Terminal self. These Monsters used what we call Mists to fool the Human mind, thinking it's just something they perceive." The Living Apollo explains to his Servant self,
Percy hung his mouth open, his eyes widened with shock at how the Sheep could speak. "T-T-Those Sheep…they just spoke….just now, like right now." The Demi-God said, looking at everyone to see if they heard them too.
Annabeth sighs, crossing her arms. "Hey, is talking Animals is that too surprising to us, Percy?" She asked the black-haired Boy.
"Y-You got yourself a point," Percy said before looking at the Man standing before them. "So, who are you? I don't think I've seen you before," The Son of Poseidon asked Ritsuka,
The blonde Girl nodded, realizing introductions hadn't taken place prior. "I forgot to ask, what's your name? I didn't ask before because-"
Ritsuka chuckles, understanding Annabeth. "Right, I understand." He took a look at Percy, taking note of how similar they would be if he still had his green eyes. Smiling down at the young Boy, he introduced himself, "My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru, I was sent here from Camp Half-Blood to retrieve you, Percy. As you can see before, someone's targeting you,"
Percy nodded, having a feeling that was the case from their previous engagement. "I wouldn't notice," He said sarcastically before asking him something, "So you're taking us back to Camp Half-Blood then, right?"
"That's right, but we better hurry. At any moment the Enemy might attack again." Ritsuka explains to the two.
"A-Again?"
AN: How do you like it? Please leave a comment or review.
