Chapter 111
The theory of the Nokken stopping them from leaving was proven true
when they found all the cars working now. Soon Percy, Luke and Grover
took one care while Nat, Jet and John took the other.
But sun rise they had cleared out of the cabin and were driving back to
town. On the way there the mist was finally clearing up and the sound of
animals returned to the forest. Soon the road hit the main road as the two
cars stopped and their occupants got out.
"So I guess this is it," Luke said as he took a breath of fresh air.
"Will we ever see you again?" Asked John.
"Hopefully no," Percy replied.
"Ain't that the truth," Jet said chuckling, "oh god this is going to be such a
mess. I have to tell Nat's parents what happened to her."
"We have a lot of people to inform that their loved ones are gone," Christy
said with downcast eyes, "but at least we are alive."
"Just tell them a bear killed them," Luke said, "they will never believe you
about the Nokken."
"But in case you need help," Percy said s he took out a business card, "call
this guy. Tell him Percy sent you and he will help."
Christy took the card and read it, "Edward Neak? Who the hell is this guy?"
Luke smiled, "he is family." He then bent down and hugged Christy, "take
care wheels."
"Oh haha very original," Christy said as Luke smiled back. As he broke the
hug and stepped back Christy spoke, "that's it? A hug? I save you from a
freaking monster and you give me a hug?"
"Well I mean-" Luke stammered. Christy grinned and then pushed herself
out of her chair and grabbed Luke's neck, "careful!" Luke shouted but
Charity just smiled. She then pulled him closer and pressed her lips
against his. Luke looked surprised at first but then gave in as he hugged
her tightly.
Finally after Percy coughing on too many times the two decided to stop.
"There now you have something to remember me by," Christy replied as
Luke helped her back into her chair.
Luke smiled, "I don't think I can ever forget you Christy."
The girl smiled and with that the two groups parted. The questers went
West while the humans went East.
Percy sat on the front seat as Luke drive and smiled as he felt the wind
role across his face. "So where are we going now?"
Luke looked at Percy and with a look that was a mixture of worry and
uncertainty he replied, "Denver, we are going to Denver."
"Right, Denver," Percy repeated as he looked head. He didn't know what
Luke was planning, but he knew one thing. The son of Hermes was up to
something, and Percy was going to find out what.
Okay here you go, 11,000 words. And all I had to do to write this was
break my back. But seriously though your reviews and continued
support really does motivate me to write more.
This chapter I thought to go for a more personal touch, after all the
entier reason I wanted Luke to be with Percy on th quest was for the
two to grow close, before I ripe them apart, WHAHAH!
Question;
Minor abilities in other branches of magic: Yes of cource. Percy will
get various diffrent types of magic and even his own special type, but
all that in the future, for now lets take it slow.
Flings before meeting Artemis- Yes very much so. I mean come on!
Who wouldn't?!
Minimap- this is something I don't want Percy to have. It just seems
to much of an OP thing to have. Like just imagine him having a
minimap in the Labyrinth. Ruins the whole idea of a dark and
mysterious place that is uncontrollable.
The futures involving the multiverse: Huh maybe. For now lets focus
on this world, then when I'm bored I'll throw Percy into another world.
Chapter 112:
By then end of the day they ended up in Denver. Needless to day Luke
drove like a madman to get them there, and they only got pulled over like
three times. Of course they got away with a little help from the Mist.
Percy and the rest now stayed in a motel at the edge of town and for
dinner they went to dinner across the street. Inside they found a private
booth at the back where they quickly sat down and ordered a huge meal.
Needless to say after killing evil lake sports and driving miles on end they
were all hungry.
"Here you go deary's," said the nice old woman who was their waitress,
"one chicken burger for the young man with the pretty blue eyes," that was
Percy, "a mac and cheese combo for the young gentleman," Luke, "and a
steak for you handsome," Grover.
"Correct ma'am," Percy replied as he smiled at the woman.
"Oh you know how it is. I worked thirty years in this restaurant, I am very
good at getting my customer's orders right. Now eat up," and with that the
woman left them.
As soon as she did Percy grabbed the steak, Luke the steak and Grover
the mac and cheese and Luke the burger. She was so sweet that they
didn't have the heart to tell her she got the order's wrong.
As Percy carved into his steak he sighed happily, it had been a long time
since he had dinner food and even longer since he had steak. The grease,
the salt, the fat all combined will give a person either a feeling of bliss or a
heart condition.
"So where to after this?" Percy asked Luke who was nearly halfway done
with his burger.
"If we continue on this pace for the next day we should reach LA tomorrow
afternoon," Luke repled.
"What about the car? Do you think Jet and the other would report it
stolen?"
Luke shook his head, "no I explained to them to do so only after a week.
So even if a cop pulls us over, and they are clear sighted or something, the
car won't be reported as stolen."
Percy nodded as he continued to eat his steak. But just then;
Ping!
Warning! Bloodlust behind you! Origin:Ares!
Percy's eyes shot up when reading that text. He then quickly got up and
turned around and there at the entrance of the dinner was Ares.
The god was in disguise true, but one look at him and any demigod would
know who he really was. He wore a leather jackets with spikes on it and his
hair was shaped like a mohawk. He looked around with his red shades
behind which Percy could see glowing eyes filled with anger and power.
Yup, that guy was definitely the god of war.
"Percy what's wrong?" Luke asked the boy.
"It-It's Ares. He's here," Percy stammered not daring to look away.
Ares then locked eyes with Percy and smiled. He then began walking to
their booth and slid into the seat opposite Percy and right next to Grover,
who looked like he was having a heart attack.
"Hello shitheads," the god of war said as he smiled at them.
"Lord Ares," Luke said while Grover bowed and Percy looked at his stats;
Ares, God of War, traitor
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Race- Olympian God
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-?
The son of Zeus and Hera, Ares is infamous for his temper and his
powers in battle. As the god of war he craves for more and more
destruction. He is now allies with ? and ? in order start a war on
mount Olympus.
Dislikes the brat because he is a better fighter than his kids
Feels mostly angry at all time. He's Ares the god of war, what did you
expect?
Ares turned to Percy, "so your the little shit that stole dad's lightning bolt."
"I didn't steal anything!" Percy yelled out.
"Percy that's enough," Luke said, "how may we assist you lord Ares?"
"Well at least one of you brats has manners," Ares said as he eyed Percy's
stake, "that a good looking stake coral."
Percy looked at him and then his steak, "stop drooling over my steak."
Ares smirked, "well it's mine now, "he then reached for Percy's stake and
pulled it away from the boy.
Percy saw this and looked at Ares questioningly, 'oh hell no! Fuck you ass
hole!' He then immediately pulled it back, "that's mine thank you very
much."
Ares looked stumped at this and blinked several time, guess he never had
people take their food back from him. "Give me that boy,"Ares growled
out.
Warning! Bloodlust detected! Origin, from that thing sitting next to
you!
Percy wiped the screen away, "fuck off. If you want it get your own."
"You little shit," Ares reached for it again and Percy moved. He pulled out
Riptide and pushed the end of the pen under Ares' neck.
"Reach for my stake again and I'm cut off your head and turn you into
an ashtray," Percy growled out with his thumb right under the cap ready to
flick it open at any point.
Ares looked at Percy and then the pen. He then smirked, "good reflexes
kid." Suddenly Percy felt something cold press up against his neck.
Percy slowly looked back and standing behind him was Ares with his
sword pressed up against Percy, "shit," Percy then watched the Ares
carefully as he lowered Riptide.
The two Ares grinned as the one with the blade slowly merged with the one
sitting down. He still had his blade up against Percy's neck and was
grinning like a madman, "we gods can split ourselves into many different
form. Like clones if you will."
Percy's eyes narrowed, "so not an illusion," which made sense. After all he
had Gamer's mind, no illusion, no matter how strong, should not have any
effect him.
"Nope," Ares said as he lowered his blade, "now I believe this is mine."
Percy saw Ares reach for his steak and quickly pushed it to the floor.
Ares looked at Percy who simply smiled, "oops."
The god of war smiled, "ruthless, prideful and willing to do anything to win.
It's like looking at a mirror."
Percy's smile fell at those words as the old waitress quickly came over.
"Oh dear what happened here?" the kind old lady asked.
"I'm sorry ma'am my hand slipped," Percy then picked up the steak and the
still intact plate and gave it to her, "please tell the chef I enjoyed every bite
I ate."
"Oh that's nice dear, do you want me to bring you another one?" she asked
taking the plate.
"Oh please no it's okay," Percy then looked at Areas with narrowed eyes, "I
lost my appetite."
Ares chuckled while the woman quickly walked away to the kitchen. Percy
sat back down and crossed his hands, "so what the fuck do you want."
"Already don't like me huh?" Ares said with a grin.
"You tried to steal my meat."
"If this was ancient Greece men would have offered me their wives. And
when I made them moan like their husbands never could they would thank
me and give me half their wealth."
"Than it's a good thing this isn't ancient Greece huh?"
"Haha, if only," Ares said with his eyes flashing brighter behind his shades.
"If you do not mind me asking Lord Ares," Luke asked stressed, "why are
you here?"
"Oh right, I need you three to get something for me."
"Nope," Percy repled crossing his hands.
"Percy!" Luke called out, "stop trying to piss of the god!"
"He stole my steak!"
"Attempted to steal you steak," Ares corrected as he smiled at the fight
Luke and Percy were having.
"Look can we do this later?" Luke said with a sigh. Percy frowned and
looked away.
"As I was saying, I need you three to get something for me. I was on a date
a few days again and I lost my shield in the Waterpark. I would go there
and get it myself but I frankly would rather want you to get it."
"Why?" Percy frowned.
"Percy gods are restricted by the ancient laws, the only way they can give
help in any form to questers is as a reward. I'm sure Lord Ares is just giving
us a simple task so that he can reward us later," Luke explained in a very
scripted like tone.
Percy then turned to Ares, "and why do you want to help us? Isn't war kind
of your thing?"
Ares grinned a mad grin, "my reasons are my own. You either accept this
or you don't. That's all."
Chapter 113
Percy narrowed his eyes at Ares but then relented, "so what's the reward?"
Ares smiled and pulled out three rings and laid them out on the table,
"these."
Percy picked one up and observed the;
Rings of Invisibility;
The wearer of these rings is given invisibility for one whole day.
Time remaining- 24 hours
"I got these from my brother," Ares explained, "grants the user 24 hours of
invisibility. You can use them to get into Hades's palace."
"So you are just willing to give us these?" Percy asked putting the ring
down, "no strings attached."
The god of war smirked, "see, aren't I a generous god?"
Percy nodded, "yes. But I'm still not giving you my steak."
The god frowned, "you still don't understand just who you are talking to do
you boy. But no matter. You will learn respect for me in time."
"I don't think I would ever-" Percy began.
"-Thank you lord Ares, we will get right on this," Luke interrupted Percy.
Percy frowned but kept quiet shooting Luke a dirty look. The god gathered
the rings and then got up, "bring my shield back here in two hours time."
Soon after the god left Percy turned to Luke, "why the hell are you so
eager to kiss his ass?!"
Luke frowned, "Percy you already managed to piss of Hades and Zeus,
two of the strongest gods in Greek myth. I would rather not have the literal
god of combat come after us as well."
Percy scowled but kept quiet. He then spent the rest of the meal in deep
contemplation. Why was Luke was pushy right now? Before he was so laid
back leaving everything to Percy but now...did he want us to do the quest
for some reason? Was Are the one who Alecto found Luke talking to?
But why? Did Luke contact Ares before had to arrange all this? Why would
the god even agree to that? Percy's head spun as he felt a headache
come on. Something didn't add up. He was looking at only half the picture,
the rest were missing.
After paying for the bill Percy and the rest got into their car and drove to
the Waterpark. The place was empty, abandoned really, so obviously it was
closed. Luckley jumping really high was one of the first things Percy
learned how to do. He jumped over the fence and opened the gate from
the inside.
"So where exactly is this tunnel of love?" Grover asked as he looked
around the abandoned place.
"Let's take a look," Luke said turning to the map. There in the center of the
park was a boat ride called, 'Thrill Ride O'Love' "I think this is it. We should
go straight ahead and then take a left."
Percy nodded and the three did just just. Soon they came to the love
tunnel which was unsurprisingly was a water tunnel shaped like a pink
heart. The tunnel was decorated on the side with statues of cupid along
with other omatic stuff like hearts and fishes. Wait….fishes? Well to each
their own.
On top of the tunnel was a sign that said, 'Thrill Ride O'Love: This is not
your parents tunnel of Love!'. The tunnel was now empty leaving behind
only a big concret skating halfpipe but Percy could feel the water in the
pipes below.
Percy slide down and began walking into the tunnel. The tunnel was dark
but luckily Grover was prepared as he took out a torch light lighting their
way in. Inside the tunnel was covered with mirrors on all side, if someone
was to go into this thing they would always have a good view of the person
they were with.
"Where did he say his stupid shield was?" Percy asked.
"Don't know," Luke replied, "he just said it was in here somewhere."
"Guy's I'm getting something," Grover replied, "like a scent."
"Really? Do you think it's Ares's sent?" Luke asked.
"Yeah Grover does it smell like old gym socks?" Percy asked causing all
three boys to snicker.
"Haha, no. It smells...well it smells kinda good actually," Grover said, "like
Juniper leaves."
"Do you actually think there is something down here that smells of Juniper
leaves?" Percy asked in a mocking tone, "come on man we are in a
concert tunnel in the middle of an abandoned amusement park ride. There
is no way a plant is growing here."
"Hey don't blame me. The nose smells what the nose smells."
"Okay Grover," Luke said nodding, "but either way it is better if we stay
alert. No telling what we might find down here."
The other two agreed as they all went deeper inside. There in the middle of
the room was a bullet proof vest, but Percy's Observing skill showed what
it really was.
Shield of Ares,
It is the shield of Ares which is charmed to be unbreakable and can
withstand godly amounts of force. It is also charmed to give the
wielder a + 20% on all attacks.
Note: This shield has a secret compartment hidden inside of it. Object
hidden :?
Percy looked at the box in surprise. Something was hidden inside that
thing? Percy didn't know what and quite frankly anything Ares wanted to
keep hidden Percy didn't want to find out. Probably some his anal beads or
something "There it is," Percy said pointing at the vest.
"Woah, you sure Percy?" Grover asked as they walked up to the vest.
"Yup. Feels like him," Percy was getting pretty good at this lying thing.
Lie Success!
"Well okay then," Luke replied as he reached for the vest but the moment
he picked it up something clicked.
"Oh what now?!" Percy yelled out as she and grover quickly ran to Luke
who already had his sword out and ready.
Suddenly a loud creak could be heard as the wall on top of the tunnel
opened revealing several robotic spiders that then jumped down and
started to attack the three demigods.
"What the hell are these things?!" Grover yelled out as he pulled out his
sword he got from a robot.
Percy then used Observe;

"Hephaestus made them," Percy called out as he punted one of the
spiders into the wall.
Chapter 114
"What makes you so sure?" Luke asked as he sliced a couple of them into
pieces.
"They feel like the robots we fought in the forge!" Percy called as he helped
defend Grover while the Satyr used his reeds to form vines to attack the
robots with, "plus they are freaking robots! Who else but Hephaestus?!"
"True," Luke said as quickly between Luke's slicing, Grover's vines and
Percy's constant use of the moisture around them to shortcircuit the
spiders, all of the robots died quickly.
Ping!
Total Exp gained: 600 Exp!
"Well…. that was easy," Grover said kicking one of the dead spiders. Just
then a bigger rumble roared out as suddenly the entire tunnel started to
shake. The roof above them split opened and down came a giant Spider, 8
feet big with bronze legs and red eyes. It looked at the three questers in
front of it and hissed steam out of it's mouth.
"FOR FUCK'S GROVER SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP JINXING US!"
Percy shouted.
The spider jumped towards them causing the three to jumped away in
order to not get crushed. Percy and Grover ended up on one side with
Luke on the other. Percy then Observed the beast;
Giant Robotic Spider,

tasked to capture the enemies of Olympus. Usually used to capture
high profile targets this spider is only used when Hephaestus really
wants somebody in chains.
Kill to gain- 2,200 Exp
Great, just great.
Percy closed the box and looked at the spider as it attacked them with it's
sharp and pointy legs. It was slow as Percy managed to grab Grover and
dodge it easily. He then moved away as Luke began to attack the thing
with his sword distracting it for the time being. Percy then reached into the
water pipes underneath them and he pulled the water out and up to the
tunnel flooding the concrete half pipe with water once again.
"Percy what the hell?!" Luke called out as Percy directed the huge
amounts of water into the form of a giant snake that grabbed the spider
between its jaws. It then lifted the spider and smashed it into the ground
and bite down shattering it's entire body into pieces.
"Warn us next time you are going to do that Percy!" Luke yelled out as he
slowly walked over to him and Grover.
"Sorry, kind of focused on creating the whole giant snake thing," Percy
replied coldly as he walked over to the decomposing robotic spider.
The spider left behind 300$ and a small robotic spider. Percy put the
money way and Observed the spider.
Spy Bug,
A tool that once attached to any person will turn invisible and record
whatever the person sees. It can only be seen by the person who
used the bug and only he/she can remove the bug from the spied on
person.
Percy quickly put the bug way into his inventory and turned to Luke and
Grover, "we should probably go now."
Luke sighed, "yeah. Okay let's go."
Ping!
Congratulations you leveled up!

(Permanent)
Percy smiled at this and closed his status box. They quickly walked away
from the tunnel but as they walked away Grover spoke up.
"Guys the juniper leaves scent is getting stronger now," he pointed at a
turn in the tunnel, "it should be right there."
Percy readied his sword, last thing they needed was some kind of monster
that loured demigods with a sweet scent only to kill them in cold blood. As
they took the turn in the tunnel they were released to see no monster there
hiding in wait for them. Inside all they found was a scarf;
Scarf of Aphrodite,
Enchanted to smell like the perfect scent for each individual person,
this scarf is charmed with love magic causing the wearer to have +10
levels in all skills that involve seduction, example, Kissing, flirting.
Percy picked up the scarf, "it feels like the Aphrodite kids."
Lie success!
"So it must be Aphrodite's scarf," Luke deduced, "must be who Ares was
on a date with. It also explains why it smells so nice. It must be charmed to
smell like whatever the smeller thinks is a beautiful scent."
"Which is why Grover smelled Juniper leaves," Percy said with a grin.
"Oh isn't that sweet," Luke said in a mocking tone, "Grover thinks the most
beautiful scent in the world if Juniper!"
"Knock it off you guys!" Grover cried as PErcy and Luke chuckled in his
expense.
Percy put the scarf in his bag and the three quickly got out of the god awful
water park and quickly drove back to the dinner where in front of it Ares
was waiting for them. He was on a motorcycle and when he saw them he
smirked.
"Well, you three got in half an hour. I'm impressed," Ares replied smirking,
"did that spiders give you any trouble? I remember Aphrodite saying how
much they scared her."
Percy smiled back, "no they didn't give us any trouble. Although I am
surprised they were still there surely the god of war could have killed a few
bugs to impress his date."
Ares grumbled, "yeah well I needed to leave something for you kids to do."
Luke then handed the vest over to Ares, "your shield my lord."
"Thanks kid," Ares grumbled and took the vest. He snapped his finger and
suddenly the vest turned into a shield which Ares gave to Percy, "here
consider it a bonus for getting rid of the spiders. Those things are nasty,
one of them once caught me in the shower."
Chapter 115
Percy reached out nervously but took the heild anyway, "thanks."
Ares nodded. He then took out the three rings, "here as promised, three
rings of invisibility. Use them wisely."
Each quester took a ring and put it into their pockets. Luke then spoke up,
"thank you so much for helping us lord Ares. It means a lot."
Ares grumbled like worker being forced to clean up the store by his boss.
He then looked at Percy and glared, "stay alive kid."
Percy then watched Ares ride away in that loud thing he called a vehicle,
"could that be considered as a warning or an order?"
"Oder most likely," Luke replied as he sighed, "let's go get some sleep you
guys. We will need it tomorrow we reach LA."
Percy nodded as they all then wene to their motel. Percy put his bag and
the new shield of Ares to the side. He couldn't put it in his inventory
because Grover and Luke would then ask questions so he was forced to
carry the stupid thing.
After a nice hot shower and a later night movie Percy and the rest of the
quest members crashed. Only Percy wasn't asleep, he had his eyes closed
but he didn't let sleep take over. He stayed awake waiting. Waiting for
something to happen. Luke was up to something, and is Percy was right
about his suspicions he will do something tonight.
As the clock struck 12 Luke started to move. Percy opened his eyes
slightly and watch Luke as he put on his shoes to step out. Percy
immediately reached out with his mana and thought out, 'Shadow Spying.'
Percy felt his mana infect Luke's shadow as the son of Hermes closed the
door behind him. Now all Percy had to do was wait and hear what Luke
was up to.
Percy closed his eyes and he heard footsteps. Not his or in this room, but
Luke's. Luke was walking on hard concrete now tiles. The swimming pool
outside the motel then. He then heard something ruffle as Luke then spoke
out, "Oh Iris goddess of the Rainbows accept my offering. Show me Lord
Ares."
Percy's eyes widened at that but he quickly focused back on Luke, this
was it, this was Luke's dirty little secret.
"I was wondering when you would call," came the rough voice of Ares.
"I waited till everyone was asleep," Luke replied, "did you hide the lightning
bolt in the shield?"
"Yes, I put it in the handle, exactly as planned. Just make sure you get the
sea scum to Hades and make sure he delivers it to Hades before you toss
him into the pit."
"R-right," Luke's voice was hesitant.
"Why the hesitation? This was your plan from the start, don't tell me you're
backing out now."
"No I am not! The plan will go on schedule. You still have the helmet of
Hades yes?"
"Yeah I got it. I still don't know how you managed to steal the Lightning Bolt
and the Helmet of Darkness."
Luke replied something but Percy wasn't paying attention. He cut off his
shadow spying skill and sat up from his bed. He walked over the Are's
shield that was propped up and felt around the ends of the handle. He felt
something in the corner of the handle, something stitched in. Percy ripped
out the threads and there poking out at the end of the handle was a neon
blue lightning bolt.
Everything fell into place. Everything made sense now. Luke was the
Lightning Thief. Percy felt betrayed, he felt like Luke had ripped his head
off his shoulders and then kicked it like a soccer ball.
Why did Luke do this? Why did he steal the Master bolt? Percy knew he
was angry at the gods for abandoning their children, but this? Would he
really start a war?
Percy pulled the Master Bolt out of the shield handle and held it in his
hand. It was a cylinder which had a lightning bolt stuck inside of it and on
either ends had a conical structure extending out.
Zeus Master Lightning Bolt,
The ultimate weapon of Zeus this is the most deadly instrument in the
Greek Pantheon. Crafted by Briareus, Cottus and Gyges, the hundred
handed giants, this weapon in one of three. It's full potential can only
be reached when wielded by Zeus or a child of Zeus.
Damage: 9,000,000 Attack!
Percy's hands trembled, this thing was genuine, which meant Luke is the
Lightning Thief and that son of Hermes planned to kill him the moment he
stepped into Hades.
And just then Percy remembered something. Something the oracle of
Delphi warned him about;
You shall be betrayed by one who callssss you friend,
Luke. It was look who will betray him. No...he already did. And just like that
another part of the prophecy made scene;
You shall go wessst, And face the God who has turned.
The god who turned. At first both Chiron and Percy thought it meant
Hades, but no. It was Ares. He was the god who turned.
Gamer's mind immediately came into effect as it helped Percy process all
of this. His emotions came down and ideas on what to do next started to
generate.
'Okay Luke wants to kill me. My advantage, my abilities which he doesn't
know and the fact that I know it's coming. His advantage, he is being
backed up by Ares himself.' Percy knew he couldn't put the lightning bolt
into the shield again, it wouldn't be properly hidden. So Percy tossed the
weapon of destruction in his inventory and put the shield back where he
left it before.
Percy then went to bed just as Luke came in. Luke didn't look at Percy and
promptly crashed into his own bed. Percy looked at his friend, no, former
friend, and Observed him.

Luke Castellan in the son of Hermes, at a young age he saw his
mother lose her mind and when father was not there to help her, his
hatred for the gods began. Luke loves all of his family, even the
extended members and is a person who would help them in an
instant. Luke hates the Olympian for abandoning their children and
wants to wage war on them all by stealing the lightning bolt and the
helmet of Hades.
Luke considers Percy his little brother and wants to protect him.
Luke is feeling conflicted about betraying Percy.
The last part in his info was new, guess it was something Percy could only
read after he knew Luke was the lightning thief. Percy then became
conflicted about what he should do with Luke when he read about how feel
about him.
Chapter 116
Luke was feeling conflicted too, he didn't want to do this. Maybe Percy
could use that doubt and somehow save his mom while not having to fight
Luke.
Percy was ashamed at how he was thinking. Gamer's mind made
everything objective, so h could only think about what he could use to
survive. It was a horrible way to think about someone, Percy knew that, but
in the end it was either him of Luke.
So Percy closed his eyes and let sleep take over, Luke wouldn't kill him in
his sleep, he needed him.
Ping!
You have slept in a bed; HP and MP have been restored 75% each. All
ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy and the others started early the next day. They started the drive at
around 6 in the morning and drove quickly stopping only for food and
bathroom breaks. Percy used Gamer's mind a lot that day. Every moment
Luke made Percy analyzed and judged whether he was going to kill him or
not. So far Percy managed to put on a neutral face, but it was cracking.
Luke and Grover asked him several times why he was so angry, and he
just waved it off saying he was nervous.
Eventually they reached LA by sundown.
Percy stepped out of the vehicle and looked around. Right now they were
parked at an overview point so that Percy could see everything in
Hollywood. To his right was the famous Hollywood sign and in the far
distance was the Pacific ocean.
"Where exactly is the entrance to Hades anyway?" asked Grover as he
popped up on the runck of the car.
"You have lived in the world longer than me, I was hoping you would
know," Percy replied looking over his shoulder.
"I think it's best we spend one more night in a motel and head out for the
Underworld tomorrow," Luke said with a smiled.
'Why does he want to do that? Is he going to try and go into Hdes himself
while we sleep?' Percy thought as he put on a smile on his face, "good
idea Luke. We need to be alert and ready."
Luke nodded happy. He then sat next to Grover on the hood of the car
looking at the view. Percy remained silent but inside he knew that this was
it. It was all going to go down tonight.
After an hour of sitting on their car and enjoying the view, the questers all
went to a motel. The motel was right next to the beach, something Percy
insisted on and as soon as they entered their room they all promptly
collapsed into their respective beds. Only Grover slept while Luke and
Percy pretend to sleep.
Percy then waited and at around 10 Luke got up again. He then went to
Ares's shield and began to search it for the lightning bolt. "Shit!" Percy
heard Luke whisper as he then promptly walked out of the room, probably
to Iris message Ares or something.
Percy got up and put on his shoes. It was time. It was time for him to
confront the Lightning Thief. Percy opened up his status page and quickly
used up his stat points.
STR-32
VIT-34(+4)=38
DEX-31(+4)=35
INT-30
WIS-32
LUC-30
POINTS-2
He didn't have enough to improve his speed to Luke's level and his agility
was never going to reach Luke's 56. So Percy put it in the one thing that
might give him a fighting chance, his luck. Logically speaking Percy should
just take out the Master bolt and zap Luke into ashes, but this...this was
personal.
Percy left the room leaving a sleeping Grover behind. He then quietly
snuck to the ground floor and to beach, the only place Luke could make an
Iris call.
Percy walked into the sand and kept his head low as he approached a
figure standing in the beach with a torch light. The person was obviously
Luke.
Luke walked up to the waves and used the mist coming off the waves to
form a rainbow. "Oh Iris goddess of the Rainbows accept my offering.
Show me Lord Ares," Luke called out as slowly the rainbow turned into a
window showing Ares.
"What brat?" the god of war asked in a rough tone.
"Where is the lightning bolt?!" Luke screamed.
"Are you deaf? I told you it is in my sheild!"
"Well it's not there now! I checked the handle, nothing!"
"Impossible! Unless- behind you!" Percy jumped up and slashed Riptide
downwards cutting the message off and nicking Luke in the shoulder.
"Percy?!" Luke shouted out as held onto his bleeding shoulder, "what the
hell are you doing?!"
"Luke," Percy replied in a low voice, "you are the Lightning Thief."
Luke's eyes went wide, "Percy I can explain."
"Enough!" Percy yelled out as he attacked Luke. Luke drew out his own
blade and bronze metal bronze as slowly Percy pushed Luke back with
each strike.
"I didn't want to do it Percy," Luke cried out as he dodged a swing from
Riptide.
"Shut up!"
"I wanted to go to Hades myself and trade the Lighting bolt for your
mother! I didn't want you to find out this way!"
"You are the reason she is there in the first place!"
"No! She is there because the gods don't care about humans!" Luke then
crossed his blade with Percy and held it there, "they use us humans like
they use everything! Just look at all the people we meet Percy! Edward ran
away because he couldn't take it any more! Chirsty-"
"Shut up!" Percy cut Luke off as he kicked Luke back into the sand. He
then swung down at Luke only for the son of Hermes to doge at the last
second by rolling away. Luke got up and began his attack on Percy, he was
faster but his bleeding shoulder held him back. Percy however was
relentless, he could feel his anger grow with every swing he took at Luke,
his Gamer's mind couldn't keep up.
Slowly Luke watched in horror as Percy's eyes turned from green to a
golden yellow, just like the Titan that haunts his dreams.
Ping!
Perk: 'Le Bete' has been activated! You gained +50 to all stats!
Percy however wasn't paying attention. All he cared about was killing Luke.
He smashed Riptide into Luke's blade and then pushed harder and harder
until Riptide cut Luke's blade in half. Percy drew back and fist and threw it
at Luke, "EARTHQUAKE FIST!"
Chapter 117
The fist smashed into Luke's ribs breaking a few of them and sending the
don of Hermes flying off and into the sand.
Percy then jumped at Luke with Riptide but suddenly the son of Hermes
pressed an open palm on the sand and shouted out, "beast summoning!"
A large green circle appeared in the sand and a gust of wind pushed Percy
back on his ass. The yellow eyed boy's fury pushed him forward, made him
go beyond his limits. Percy got up almost at once and saw the figure that
now stood before him.
It was the Chimera. The legendary beast of myth with the body of a lion,
and two extra heads in the form of a goat and a snake's on it's tail. And
right next to it was a panting and tired was Luke holding his broken ribs.
The son of Hermes turned to the Chimera, "take care of him."
The Chimera roared as the Lion opened it's mouth sending out a blast of
fire right at Percy. The fire drew closer but before it burnt Percy the
demigod flashed away in a burst of speed.
When the fire died down the Chimera looked around for the charred
remains of Percy but found nothing. He heard a rustle in the wind and
quickly all three head turned to the left. But the only thing there was a
small foot sized pit in the sand.
Just then they heard another rustle and they turned to the right only to find
a similar pit there as well. Suddenly the result came from all around them.
They turned all around, each head going it's own way but the only thing
they saw was a blur of black.
"Up front," came a voice in front of them. The lion's head turned just in time
to see a punch connect with it's face, "Earthquake Fist!"
The Chimera flew back from the force of the impact into the sea. It looked
up, it's lion's head was destroyed now. It looked to the yellow eyed
demigod as a hint of fear crept into it's heart.
Percy raised a single hand up and all the water around the Chimera
moved. It trapped the Chimera into a sphere of water as slowly the
pressure started to build up. As a last ditch attempt to escape the goat
head blasted out a ball of fire that exploded causing the sphere of water to
collapse and the Chimera was thrown out.
Percy walked upto the Chimera, it wasn't moving, but it was still breathing.
He looked down at it, his face not showing any mercy. He drew back a fist
and punched the Chimera again, again and again. He ripped into it's body
with just his fingers as slowly the thing started to die from the pain alone.
In it's last moment of life the Chimera looked into the yellow eyes of the
demigod that was killing it by literally ripping it apart and so nothing by fury.
Slowly it began to disintegrate into nothing leaving behind a frustrated
Percy and several loot items.
Ping!
You have killed while under the effects of Le Bete! You have
temporarily gained +2 to all stat points!
Percy ignored the box as he got up from the dusty remains of the Chimera
and looked around for Luke. Instead of finding the son of Hermes Percy
found he was alone in the beach with nothing else in sight. With no one
else to fight Percy opened his mouth and roared. "ROARRR!"
The son of Poseidon then collapsed to his feet and slowly his eyes turned
green again;
Ping!
Perk: 'Le Bete' has been deactivated! Your states have change back
to normal.
Percy looked up and saw the remains of the monster has had killed in less
than a minute. The curse he bore truly was powerful for him to have
destroyed one of the most dangerous monsters in Greek Mythology.
Just then;
Ping!
You have gained a new perk!
Chimera's blood- Allows user to temporarily take on one trait from the
last monster he killed. The user can use this trait for however long he
wishes. (Example- A Cyclop's resistance to fire.)
Note: The Chimera doesn't count.
Now how did I get that? Percy figured it was one of the rewards for kill the
Chimera. He checked his Exp and saw he got + 30,000 Exp. He then
checked the body and found 1000$ and a skill book: Fireball.
Percy put the book and money away, he didn't have time to deal with this
now. Luke was gone, probably snuck away while Percy was killing the
Chimera. Right now Percy was on his own. Well he had Grover but the well
meaning Satyr would only drag him down. With him around Percy can't use
his full abilities.
Percy took out the Gauntlet of Kefka and summoned Alecto. She formed
out of the smoke and bowed, "Master."
"Do you know how I can get to Hades?" Percy asked the Fury who
nodded, "good. Then take me there right now."
Alecto picked up Percy and flew him across the LA night sky. Eventually
they ended up in front of a building with the sign DOA Recording Studio,
huh figures. Percy then turned to Alecto, "how much does Hades trust
you?"
"He considers me one of his most loyal subjects," Alectos replied.
Percy nodded, "then you are the one who can get closest to him." Percy
then reached into his inventory and pulled out the chains of Hephaestus,
"hide this on your person somehow and go ahead of me. Once you are
inside go and inform Hades you just reformed, once he dismisses you
sneak into the throne room and wait for me. When I give the key word,
bind, throw these on Hades and bind him tightly."
Alceto nodded as she took the chains and walked into the building. Percy
was betting a lot on her, but he had faith this would work, it had to work.
Percy waited a few minutes after Alecto went in and then walked into the
place.
Chapter 118
Inside was a basically a large waiting room with a tall black man in a very
nice white Armani shut sitting in the receptionist post. Crowding the room
were several people all walking about like zombies, aimless and lifeless.
Percy walked up the man and used Observe,
Charon,Ferry Man
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-?
The god of boundaries and territories, Charon is the one who ferries
the dead to the Underworld. He accepts bribes to take people who are
not dead into the Underworld and is known for his tastes in fine suits.
He has no opinion on Percy
He is feeling extremely bored
Percy walked up to the man, "hello. I need to go to the Underworld."
The man looked at Percy, "well it is refreshing to hear that being said for
once. None of that, 'there must be a mistake , I'm not supposed to be dead
Mr. Charon' bullshit. However I must decline, your not dead."
Percy reached into his inventory and pulled out 10 drachman and put it on
charon's desk.
The man looked at the coins and then to Percy, "are you trying to bribe
me?"
"Yes," Percy replied.
"Well it's not going to work. And beside what-" Charon however was cut of
as Percy put an extra 20 drachma into the pile. "That's a lot of coin."
"And it can all be yours, for just one ferry ride across," Percy replied. The
man then looked at the coin and then to Pray before reaching up to grab
them. Percy smiled at this, "glad we can do business."
"Who are you kid?" Charon asked as he checked the authenticity of each
coin.
"Percy Jackson."
"Well Percy Jackson, you just earned yourself a trip into the Underworld,"
Charon said with a smirk. He put the coins aside and walked to the
elevator behind the desk. The inside was stuffed full of people but Percy
didn't mind. He moved in and Charon joined them.
"Going down!" Charon called out as the doors closed.
Percy then waited for the elevator to go down, but it didn't, the elevator
moved forward. Percy was pushed back by the sudden movement and
suddenly they were all covered by a bright light that blinded them all.
Percy opened his eyes and blinked out the effects of the sudden light.
When his vision cleared up the Underworld was present in front of him in
all it's unholy glory.
The elevator had changed into a boat that was crossing a dark murky river
filled with the souls of the damned. Percy looked ahead and saw the whole
of Underworld. There was a huge wall in front of him, like the ones in
prison. At the center of the wall was a big opening that allowed the spirits
of the dead in, and there standing gaurd over this opening was a huge
three headed dog.
Cerberus,
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-?
The guardian of the Underworld, Cerberus is found to be a fierce
gaurd dog and it's ferocity is only matched by the legends
surrounding it. It fight this beast is to sign off on your own death,
which incidentally is the only way that thing is letting you through.
Kill to gain- 70,000 Exp.
Percy reached into his pocket and took out the ring of invisibility that Ares
gave him. He was about to put it on to, when he stopped.
The original plan was to be quiet about it, he needed to make sure Luke
and Grover was safe when they were in here. But now only Percy was
here and he could do whatever the fuck he wants. So it was time to make
a statement.
Percy put away the ring and took out Zeus's Master Bolt. He looked at the
weapon, 'how do you even use this thing? Do you throw it?' Percy pointed
it at Cerberus and waved it around, 'nop nothing. Maybe I should yell fire
or-'
BOOM!
Out of one end of the cylinder like structure a stream of lightning flew out.
The moment the lightning touched the beast it exploded into golden dust.
Ping! Ping!
You have gained two levels!

Percy looked at the golden dust and then at the Master Bolt. He then
quickly pointed it away from his face, 'note to self always keep this thing
pointed at the enemy.' Percy then looked at his status page and smiled at
the upgrade. Just then;
Ping!
Perk Chimera's blood has activated! Which trait of Cerberus's do you
wish for?
Shadow traveling
Aura sensing
Ice Breath
Percy looked at this new box with a look of concentration, 'so this is how
Chimera's blood worked.' He first clicked Shadow Traveling;
Shadow Traveling,
Allows user to travel between the shadows of the world. You can
however only travel to the shadowy areas of places you have been
before as you are not a child of Hades.
The rest were pretty self explanatory for Percy so he didn't bother clicking
on them. They most useful thing to him it seemed was Shadow Traveling,
after all he already had a way to sense people and teleportation beats Ice
Breath any day of the well.
So he pressed Shadow Traveling again;
Are you sure you want to learn Shadow Traveling for your Chimera's
blood perk?
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and felt something change inside of him. He felt more
flexible, more alert. Suddenly the shadows didn't seem to end in the
ground, they seemed to lead into something else entirely.
Ping!
You have gained a new perk by killing Cerberus!
Canidae Tamer- user of this perk can control members of the Canidae
family, like dogs, wolves and foxes, with relative ease. This also
includes magical beasts like werewolves and Hellhounds!
Percy grinned at gaining the new perk and then looked at the Loot left
behind. There was 50,000 $ which he immediately put away for
safekeeping.
Then there was a black wrist band with metal spikes studded all round it;
Arm Band of Cerberus;
+1000 HP
+1000 MP
+ 10 levels to all skills involving darkness or shadows (Example:
Smoke form)
Percy put on the item and immediately felt the energy flow into him. He
smiled, and then moved to the next item. This one was a skill book and it
read, 'Death Touch' The skill looked pretty powerful but Percy didn't need
to learn anything new right now.
He tossed the book into his inventory and wine to the last Loot. It was a
circular coin which was a big as his fist. On it was the number 10 carved
into it;
Skill Disk,
A disk when used will automatically level up one particular skill of
your choosing. The number of levels that will be improved in written
on the disk.
Percy grinned at this. This meant he could level up really really difficult
skills very easily in the future. He would need to think very carefully on
what he used it on, but right now he didn't have the time. So Percy put the
disk away and began to move. He then noticed all of the spirits of the dead
look at him with fear in their eyes.
"Ah...hello?" Percy called out waving at them.
"D-did you just kill that thing?" one of the braver spirits asked Percy.
Percy smirked, "yup."
The spirit's eyes widened in fear and then hope, "we are free! Everyone
run away!" The shock of what just happened broke as all the spirits moved.
Most ran any from the Underworld and to the river as they tried to swing
across. Without Cerberus here the underworld was out of control. And that
was exactly what Percy wanted.
He then lifted up the gauntlet of Kefka and channeled mana into it. He then
grinned as he pulled Cerberus out of the well of souls and slowly the giant
dog reformed in front of Percy. Once solid it lowered all three heads in a
deep bow.
"Hey Cerberus. I was wondering, can you give me a ride?" Percy asked
with a sly grin.
There we go three in a row, or was that four? I don't know I forgot.
Anyway this one is a little smaller than the other two before but it did
have a lot of leveling up, a few major plot points and so on and so
forth.
Quite frankly I wanted to skip the Waterpark thing all together but it
needed to be done.
Chapter 119:
"NO! Don't pee on the damn field of punishment!" Percy yelled as he
pushed Cerberus away from the fire fields.
The dog whined sadly at him and Percy sighed, "okay I know you have to
go but you can't go there," Percy then looked around and in the corner of
the Underworld found a huge pit, "there. Go in there."
The three headed dog barked happily and leaped over to the pit where he
then processed to mark his territory. After he was done Cerberus kicked
back a mold of dirt into he pit and walked away, 'Hmm, I hope no one is in
the bottom of that pit. Oh well nothing I can do about it now.'
Percy then pushed Cerberus to it's limits as quickly a Gothic castle
appeared in the horizon, "charge!"
The doors to Hades's place busted out of their hinges as Cerberus crashed
into them. The building was cold and damp and guarded by skeletons. The
moment they saw Cerberus there they moved to attack it. Percy looked up
from his seat on the giant three headed monster and saw most of the
skeleton's moving towards him and away from the door.
Percy smiled and quickly transformed into his smoke form. With the
Armband of Cerberus giving him an extra +1000 MP he could afford to be
a little wasteful about his mana. Percy then floated down from Cerberus's
body and quickly went to largest set of door there, which he guessed was
the throne room.
Percy then slipped under the cracks in the doors as he slowly reformed
into his solid form on the other side. Strongly this room was a lot prettier
than rest of the castle. It had flowers hanging from the walls with the scent
of spring spread all around the room.
Percy stuck to the shadows and slowly he backed further into the room
and realised two things. One, this was not the throne room, this was a
bedroom. Two this was Persephone's room. And the reason he knew that
was because she was right now she was sitting in front of a mirror braiding
her hair…..naked.
Persephone, Queen of the Underworld
Lv-?
HP:?
MP:?
Race- Olympian
Str-?
Vit-?
Dex-?
Int-?
Wis-?
Luc-?
The daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was kidnaped by Hades and
made her to be his bride. She now gets revenge on Hades by making
his life miserable in any way possible and by tacking on multiple
lovers in order to spite her husband
She has no opinion on Percy
She is currently bored
Percy's eyes wandered across the goddess body as he fully learned to
appreciate the female figure. The goddess had green hair that went to her
hips and brown eyes. Her fingers flew through her hair braiding it. Her
perky breast were covered by her large amounts of hair but her big firm
ass was on display and Percy was given a clear view of it.
"Well are you just going to stand there or are you going to come and help
me?" Persephone's voice called out making Percy's wonder how she knew
he was there.
"It's my room I know exactly who is in it, son of Poseidon," she said as she
looked right at Percy thought the reflection in her mirror.
Percy sighed and quickly pushed gamer's mind to it's limits, he would need
his upper head to work for this one, not his lower. One wrong move and he
is dead. "Hello my lady," Percy said as he walked out of the shadows
giving her a small bow.
"Hm, it's been a long time since I have had a son of Poseidon join my bed,"
she said smiling at Percy, "come, help me braid my hair."
Percy nodded as he approached the woman carefully. The took the strands
of hair in her hands and when his fingers touched her he felt how soft her
fingers felt. He then slowly began to braid her hair, he remembered doing
this once for his mother,hopefully he can remember.
"So tell me..."
"Percy, Percy Jackson," Percy replied.
"Percy. Tell me Percy why are you here?"
"I heard once that you are the most beautiful goddess in the Olympian
pantheon my lady. I wanted to see if it was true," Percy said with a smug
smile. He was really pushing it but he just couldn't resist.
Persephone laughed filling Percy's stomach with butterflies, "I see. You are
a charmed Percy, just like your father."
Percy frowned a little at that statement but he quickly replace it with a
smile, "thank you my lady. It means a lot."
Lie Failed!
Persephone smiled, "you are a terrible liar Percy. But enough of that, tell
me, why are you here?"
Percy turned serious, "Hades kidnap my mother. He thinks I am the
Lightning Thief and that I stole his Helmet of Darkness."
Persephone scoffed, "that man. He is as petty and paranoid as the day I
met him. 3000 years and nothing has changed," she then turned her head
and looked directly at Percy, "so tell me hero, what exactly is your plan?"
Percy controlled himself from looking at the Queen of the Underworld's
breasts, when she moved her head her hair was pushed away revealing
her perfect tits. Percy sighed, why did every woman he ever met greeted
him naked? "I have the chain of Hephaestus, the same ones he used to
bind Hera's powers. I'm going to use them to bind Hades's powers and
then threaten him."
Persephone's looked at Percy for a second, then two then three before she
threw her head back and laughed at the top of her lungs, "YOU ARE
GOING TO THREATEN HADES?! WHAHAHAH! Oh gods! You must have
the biggest balls ever Percy!"
"Ah yeah, sure," Percy replied as he waited for the Queen of the
Underworld to stop laughing.
"I'm sorry," she said panting, "it's been quite a while since I laughed like
that."
"Yes well, you laughing at my face was very encouraging thank you very
much," Percy replied as he finally finished making one braid.
"Well you must admit your plan does seem kind of…..in-complete. Tell me
how do you plan to get out of here anyway?"
Percy looked at her sheepishly, "ah...kill everything in sight and then make
one of the Furies give me a ride up top?"
Persephone laughed again, "Whaha, gods you are the best! Okay!" she
then stood up and clicked her finger. In a flash of light she now stood
dressed in a small black dress with a very low neck line with her hair
braided.
"Wait, you can braid your own hair by clicking your fingers? Why the hell
did you make me do it for you then?!"
"Well honestly I wanted to see how you would react if I made you stand so
close to me naked. I must say you have a lot of self control," thank you
Gamer's mind, "you didn't even get a boner once."
"HEY!" Percy cried out.
"But now that I think about it this does bring up some questions. I mean
standing in front of you is a goddess wearing a small tight black dress and
instead of drooling over her body you what complain she made you braid
her hair while she was naked? Are you gay by any chance?"
"I AM NOT GAY!" Percy shouted out blushing. God damnit every single girl
he met was such a tease! First a demon from hell now the Queen of the
bloody Underworld! Fuck!
Persephone giggled, "relax I know you're not gay. Not with the way you
were staring at my breasts."
Percy put his head down in shame, "please kill me now."
"Now now cheer up!" Persephone said happily paying Percy on the back,
"I'm going to help you get back your mom!"
Percy looked up in surprise, "really?"
"Yup! Anything to ruin my 'husband's day. Now let's start with the basics,
here use this," Persephone handed Percy two green marble which were
light, probably hallow, "these are my pearls. You can use them to make a
quick get away from the Underworld. One for you and one for you mom."
Percy looked at these in wonder, "t-thank you! Thank you so much!"
Persephone smiled, "no problem. Just crush them under your feet while
thinking about where you want to go, and presto you're there. But I need a
favour from you."
"Anything."
Persephone smirked, "when you do capture Hades I want you to come and
call me."
"Why?"
Persephone's smile turned evil as she chuckled dryly, "I own the bastard a
few hundred years of payback."
Percy felt a chill go up his spine as cold sweat gathered on his brow, 'note
to self. Never piss of Persephone.'
"Alright let's go," Persephone said as she pulled Percy out of her room and
to the main hall, "why is Cerberus in here?"
Percy's scratched his head at that, "I may have let him loose inside the
castle as a distraction."
Chapter 120
The Queen of the Underworld looked at that then nodded her head
impressed, "well it's not my job to clean this place up so I don't care." She
then pulled Percy away and to a door on the end of the corridor.
"Is this it?" Percy asked nervously.
"Yup," Persephone said as she let go of Percy's hand and moved next to
him, "I think you want to do this next part on your own yes?"
Percy looked at the goddess who was just few inches from his face. He
nodded, "yeah."
Persephone smiled, she grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him
deeply putting a little bit of tongue into it. She then pulled back, "for luck."
"R-right," Percy replied nodding his head.
Ping!
Skill leveled up!
Kissing, Lv- 8 (35%)
It is what it is. The higher level you are the better kisser you are. And
remember practise makes perfect.
Your level is kissing leaved the person feeling happy for the next
hour
The goddess smiled and walked away from Percy with a sway in her hips,
"don't forget my end of the deal!" she called out without turning back. Percy
nodded dumbly at her retreating form, mostly because he was to focused
on looking at her perfect behind.
After she left Percy activated Gamer's mind to the max forcing himself to
focus on the task ahead. He needed to think properly, inside these door
was one of the most gods in existence. Percy quickly began to check his
gear before going in
He had his Armband of Cerberus, which gave him +1000 HP/MP. The
shield of Ares gave a 20% boost on all physical attacks. His wolfskin
leather jacket gave him a 100/100 durability and as always the gauntlet of
Kefka was on his left hand.
Percy didn't want to risk summoning Zed and the others. If Persephone
could sense him inside her room, surly Hades could sense Percy wasn't
alone when he entered the throne room. And so with that being said Percy
took out Riptide and lifted the shield of Ares.
He then lifted one leg and gathered a mana into his leg and kicked the
door to the throne room open, "Earthquake Kick!"
The doors didn't just open, they were blown off their hinges as each flew
across the throne room and into the side walls. Percy then walked into the
throne room of Hades with a smile on his face.
The throne room was dark like the rest of the castle, except Persephone's
room. Torches hanged off the side giving little light to the dim place. The
entire place was black as a few marble pillars lined the walls. In the middle
of the room was a red carpet rolled out and at the very end of the carpet
were steps that lead to a giant throne and on that throne was Hades.
Hades was paled skin with back hair and black eyes, like Percy expected.
But instead of wearing robes he wore a leather jacket with a black shirt and
jeans. He honestly kind of looked like a rockstar, a douchebag rockstar.
Right now Hades was looking at a long roll of paper muttering something
under his breath. He was so focused on his paperwork he didn't even
notice Percy standing there, or his awesome entrance. And that kind of
pissed Percy off.
"Yo! Shit head!" Percy yelled out finally getting Hades's attention.
"Who the- JACKSON!" Hades yelled out as he quickly threw away the
paperwork, "so you have finally come have you?! Are you ready to return
what you have stolen?!"
"How many times must I tell you asshole?! I didn't steal the bloody
Lightning Bolt or your helmet!"
"Well then who did?" Hades asked as he then stepped of his throne and
shrank to human size.
"Luke, Luke Castellan, son of Hermes. He stole it with the help of Ares in
order to start a war among the gods."
"Why?"
"He felt they took advantage of us demigods and wanted to make them
hurt," Percy replied and then sighed, "look I don't have your helmet okay?
Luke or Ares probably have it. I just managed to get Zeus's Lightning bolt
and after this I have to probably go to mount Olympus to give it to him. So
please, let my mom go and I will leave with her."
Hades looked at Percy and then frowned, "I don't believe you boy."
"I swear I am telling you the truth! Luke is the Lightning Thief!"
"Swear it on the Styx," Hades said stroking his goatee.
Percy sighed and then spoke up in a monotone voice, "I swear on the Styx
that Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, is the Lightning thief." Thunder roared
signifying the oath was accepted and since the fact that Percy was still
alive it meant he was telling the truth.
Hades looked at Percy and then after a long pause spoke up, "show me
the lightning bolt."
"What?"
"You said you recently retrieved it, show my the Lightning bolt."
Percy looked at Hades uneased at his request. He was going to make a
grab for the Master bolt, Percy could feel it in his guts. Percy looked in the
corner of the room and there standing in the shadows was Alectos who
nodded when she made eye contact with Percy.
"Okay then" Percy said as he took off his bag. He opened his inventory
inside the bag and to Hades it looked like Percy was pulling out Zeus's
lightning bolt from in between a pair of running tracks.
Percy then carefully held the weapon up as Hades slowly moved to get it.
Percy saw his chance, he turned the weapon at the god and thought, 'fire!'
Lightning shout out of the bolt and Hades was light up like christmas tree.
Percy smiled, maybe he didn't need the chains after all. But as the light
died down, the form of Hades could be clearly seen, there was not a
scratch on him.
"H-how?!" Percy asked in shock. This thing had an attack of 9,000,000!
How much HP goes a god even have?!
"Zeus's thunder bolts were stronger," Hades said as he grabbed the bolt
out of Percy's hands and with his other hand he threw the young demigod
away. He then lifted the bolt into the air and smiled, "finally it is mine!
Revenge is mine!"
Percy quickly recovered and looked at Hades holding the bot. "Hades you
have what you want, let me and my mom go."
The god of the Underworld looked at Percy and frowned, "you just tried to
kill me actually expect me to let you live?"
Percy sighed, "well it certainly looks like I'm in a bind now."
