chapter 20

What would happen if two crackheads were to fight with all their power? Well obviously the supreme crackhead would win.

But the weaker crackhead surely didn't go without a fight. Say what you want about micolash, but he was definitely pretty challenging.

But tell me Percy... Would you lose?

"I would win," Percy said.

(Okay enough jokes)

Percy's blades came crashing down into micolash, however micolash had tricked up his sleeve.

When he raised his arms above his head, Percy felt danger. And he was right, because micolash gathered the cosmos in his hands and then boom.

Percy felt the force of multiple stars crash into his body, most of his body was severely wounded, but nothing destroyed.

His arms were broken, his left ankle and below were twisted in hideous ways. His ribs were definitely shattered.

Percy blacked out from the pain for a split second. But Percy forced his body up and shoved the blood vile into his leg and he felt his body healing.

Percy pushed past the pain through clenched teeth and attacked micolash, dodging ebrietas tentacles. When Percy saw micolash about to raise his hands again, he threw a quick poison knife into his eyes to stagger him.

Percy was about to attack once more when a blade pierced his back and a puppet had earned his wrath.

But that split second was all it took for micolash to get off a call from beyond. Thankfully this time Percy was ready and dodged the falling stars.

The last thing micolash ever saw was a hunter that was on the brink of insanity and no amount of great ones would save him.

...

Percy's eyes snapped open As he clenched a blade that would have impaled his throat if he was any slower.

Above him stopping a familiar face, and not in the good kind.

"Crow," an animalistic growl, came from Percy's throat.

"...fuck" was the only thing he got out as Percy threw him out of the big house.

That commotion woke up the cabins and Maria. Gunfire and blades clashing rang out.

Maria got in the battle too, her rakuyo set aflame by her blood. While she may not like using her cursed power, she would do so.

After all she was a counselor now, and she has children to protect.

Meanwhile the kids of camp half blood were stunned into silence. They got the first hand experience of how a hunter should fight.

And it was bloody.

And that wasn't the only thing, time seemed to slow as Percy blade was inches from the crowd neck before grabbing him by the neck.

"I'm glad you came back. Now I can kill you twice" Percy said but the crow was faster than he was last time, and stronger too. something was empowering him.

He escaped but Percy was on him faster, Percy's blade came to the earth and flung dirt in the man's eyes.

Maria slashed the man's ankles but this man would not fucking die.

Percy was kicked in his chest and sent flying by a third party, and his blood ran cold.

"... gascoigne," Percy said.

Maria slashed a throwing knife that would have pierced percy's left eye.

"Reminisce later. We are in a battle," she said.

"I'll take the crow, you get gascoigne," Percy said as he stood up.

"No kiss for good luck?" Maria said with a smirk.

Percy met her eyes, and this time smiled.

"Maybe when this is over," he said.

An arrow sailed harmlessly past the crow, and suddenly all eyes turned to a brave Apollo kid.

"Oops?"

"I like that kid, he has balls... But leave the hunting of hunters to me," and for once Percy withdrew his real weapon.

The blades of mercy switched to two knives and now the real fight began.

Gascoigne never stood a chance against Maria. But these two fuckers have immortality. How? He didn't know.

It was just that one guy at fishing Hamlet. He wouldn't die no matter what Percy did.

"Get the children to the ocean. It'll protect them. That's an order," Percy barked at annabeth.

"But we can-"

"Now," percy said as he caught a bullet in mid air that was sailing at her.

"Your fight is with me," Percy growled as he launched himself at the crow.

Two vs two... Immortals vs mortals...

Percy's and Maria's never ending battle. No matter what they did, the two just regenerated from everything.

"Oedon demands your blood," an alien-like voice came from gascoignes mouth.

Next to Percy, Maria shivered upon hearing the name.

No matter how much Percy tried he could not put them down, no amount of decapitation, blood loss, anything.

Even ripping their hearts out didn't do much to them.

Huh... Why did the world suddenly turn upside down?

"PERCY," came Maria's frantic scream.

Percy's body soon collapsed right next to his head.

"Kos may not have granted me eyes... But oedon truly kind," the annoying voice of micolash was the last thing Percy ever heard.

Of course someone like micolash who was well versed in the arcane would be able to bypass the barrier of camp half blood.

Percy had seconds before losing his life, his vision was already fading to Black... And sometimes he knew he wouldn't wake up from this like he had in the dream.

Percy was vividly aware of Maria cradling his head and with the last effort a small smile was all he could muster.

And just like that the last flickers of life faded from percy's eyes.

{Scene cut} (this will be explained the next chapter)

"You cannot die yet," the voice came as soft as a whisper, but with the hint of motherly affection.

And like that the good hunter's body spasmed and got up on its own. Maria gasped in shock as the good hunter grabbed his severed head and placed it on his severed neck.

"Yes mother," the good hunter said.

[congratulations for transcending the hunt good hunter]

Cosmic energy flowed through the good hunter's body, just like it did with gascoigne, the crow, and micolash.

Great ones vs great ones.

Oedon vs Percy's new mother.
