Chapter 731
Percy grumbled, "I wish they would stop staring."
"It's not every day a king graces us with his presence," Julia spoke in a
teasing tone.
"Please don't call me that," Percy tapped the crown, "stupid thing."
"You can't really blame them Percy," she argued, "they are in awe of
what you did for them. The way you fought back Saturn, I mean
Kronos, the way you fought him off, it was nothing short of a legend
from old."
"How do they even know about that?" Percy asked, "didn't we send
most of them back here before the battle?"
Julia looked surprised, "you mean you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Morpheus did send them back, but they were still asleep. They
watched the entire war from a third person's perspective. They saw
everything Percy, they were there when you were crowned king, and
didn't object when Morpheus asked them."
Percy looked stunned, "r-really? But I thought...damn." Percy hung his
head, feeling the crown become even heavier knowing that the entire
city had essentially put it on his head.
Julia saw the weight on Percy and sighed, "I'm sorry Percy, I suppose
in a way this is my fault."
"What are you talking about?" asked the surprised demigod.
"Morpheus...before the battle he asked me why I, a praetor of Rome,
would willingly follow a greek demigod son of Neptune. I told him it was
because I had faith in you...that you would be the one to save us, to
guide us through the war. I told him how much I believe in you and...I
think that's what pushed him to do what he did."
Percy stopped, Julia mirroring his actions. He looked into her eyes and
she into his. After a moment he sighed, "well, now I really can't fuck up.
I mean if the you belive in me then I would be an asshole to through
that faith away."
Julia smiled as Percy took the lead, her following in his footsteps. She
looked at him and felt a pang in her heart. She didn't have to be a
daughter of Venus to know it was love, and she didn't have to use her
godly powers to know that it would never work out. Julie found herself
cursing the fact Thalia got to him first, it really wasn't fair.
They reached the steps of the Senate and found the marble steps to
be filling with the people of New Rome. Everyone was here, the
shopkeepers, the workers, the teachers. Everyone came and waited at
the steps, and when Percy approached they parted like the Red Sea,
opening his path towards the Senate door.
As Percy walked inside he could feel their eyes trailing him, their
hopes, their hate, sometimes it sucked having empathic powers.
Percy pushed open the doors of the senate and was immediately
bombarded by the sounds of the senators and high ranking
legionnaires arguing with each other. They looked ready to start
throwing around more than just insults when Percy stepped in.
Immediately they all stopped and turned to him. They watched as he
and Julia walked up to the stage and stand in the center before
everyone else. The stands were packed, the seats were all filled,
people even stood in the aisles, alongs the sides, in the back and even
more were peeping inside form the open doors.
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears," Percy began
smirking as they realised the play he was ripping off.
"Stop quoting Shakespeare!" someone yelled out causing everyone
else to laugh.
Percy chuckled as well, "right, right sorry. But you all looked so tense I
couldn't help it. Plus I have always wanted to say that," he smiled
causing them to chuckle once more.
After a moment he spoke once more, "but I didn't just pick those lines
by accident, nor was it because it was the only lines I knew about
Rome. It was because that play resembles the situation right now very
much. Where Caesar was rumored to be crowned emperor of Rome,
where Brutus, who loved Rome far more than he loved Caesar,
stabbed his friend with those who hated him."
The senators looked ready to protest, but one sharp glare from Percy
silenced them, forcing them to shut up and listen.
"Brutus came to the people of Rome and made his case, claiming how
he only did it because Caesar grew greedy and was planning on
robbing Rome of its democracy. And then Anthony came and proved
how everything Brutus just said was a pile of pegasus shit."
No one laughed that time, they were too focused on him to do anything
else.
"I'm not here to rule over you. I am not here to be a fucking emperor of
a king. I hate authority, even my fellow greek demigods consider it a
joke, I am their friend, not their king. I don't wish to rule, only to protect.
I'm not going to order you people to do anything, but I will tell you this.
Saturn is coming, and we can't stop his army as we are right now.
We have only one option, to run and live to fight another day."
"You want us to run like cowards?!" a senator asked enraged, "we are
Romans! We stand and fight!"
Percy narrowed his eyes at the man. He was fat and balding, he didn't
look like he had fought anything except a burrito for lunch.
"Julia," Percy turned to the Praetor, "did this senator stay and fight with
us in the Dreamworld? Did he stand and fight against the titan's army
like a proper Roman?"
The Praetor caught onto Percy's scheme quick. "No Percy, he did not."
Percy nodded before turning to the senator who was now gulping in
fear, "what right do you have to send all these people to death when
you yourself would sooner turn and run away? Why should they die for
your ego?"
The senator could feel the eyes of the people in the room turn to him,
he quietly sat down, refusing to meet Percy's narrowed eyes.
The newly crowned king turned to the people before him, "I don't want
to be your king. I don't want to be anything more than a demigod, hell
some days I don't even want to be a demigod. Some days I curse the
day my parents meet, and those days are the worst. And that's when I
look to my friends, to my girlfriend and I realise why it was all worth it.
I'm going to fight for you, I have no intention of robbing your freedom.
That is all."
Percy stepped aside, motioning Julia to step forward. The praetor
cleared her throat, "we don't have much time, as Percy says we cannot
stand up to him, not now, most are still exhausted from the battle in the
Dreamworld. We need to move, fast. I propose unto the Senate a
motion to relocate New Rome."
The people exploded into whispers, each talking to their loved ones on
what they should do. As they spoke Edgar got up and walked onto the
stage. He cleared his throat silencing them all.
Chapter 732
"We have no choice Romans, the monsters that are at our door will not
stop until we are all dead and sent up the Styx. We must move."
"It will take us at least four days to move!" a woman argue holding her
infant daughter in her hands, "we can't hold them off for that long!"
"No, we can't," Percy agreed turning everyone's attention to him, "but
we won't need to. First you will all need to break down New Rome and
I can carry it for you."
"How will you do that?" another civilian asked.
Percy sighed "I have a gift from the Fates, it allows me to store items
away in a pocket dimension for later use. The only requirement is that I
am able to carry the item to store them away."
"How much can you carry?" another one asked.
Percy grinned, "dude, you have no idea." More and more questions
came at Percy regarding his abilities, and he answered them all. It took
him half an hour, but eventually the Romans agreed. They quickly went
about breaking down their city, they focused on the big government
buildings first, like the college, the schools, the senate, before going to
the housing areas.
It was honestly amazing for Percy to see them work so efficiently like
that. It was almost magical the way everyone knew exactly what
needed to be done and did it as a single unit.
But Percy and Julia couldn't stay, they left the civilians to do their part
while returning to the fort to do theirs.
"That was quite a speech Percy," Julia told him as they entered the
Roman fort, which was also not being slowly dismantled. The
defensible locations were kept, like bunkers and armories, but
everything else, like the baths, the shops, the now empty stables were
all gone.
"Thanks, it was something I figured you guys would react to well."
"Did you make it up on the spot?"
Percy shrugged, "kind off, I thought about along the way really. Just
kind of came to me."
Julia whistled, "impressive."
Percy nodded, "thanks", 'but not if you have my kind of WIS score'.
They entered a giant red tent, which now served as their base. The
praetor office had already been torn down, it was after all just for show
and not really important. This took it's place.
Percy and Julia entered finding Rob, Thalia and Zoe waiting for them
looking over a topographical map of camp Jupiter.
"How did it go?" Thalia asked smiling at Percy.
"As well as it could have gone," he sighed as she walked over to him,
placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
Thalia ruffled his hair, "relax sea brain, you can't have everything easy
can you?"
Percy snorted, "whatever you say, Sparky."
"You are so going to pay for that," Thalia shot back. Zoe looked on in
utter surprise. What the little she had spoke with Thalia Grace she had
found a strong independent woman, but now she was no better than a
puppy wrapped around Jackson's fingers. Zoe narrowed her eyes, she
didn't like this, not one bit.
"How soon before the civilians are evacuated?" Rob asked.
"Soon," Julia nodded, "everything will be packed by the end of the day."
Percy sighed as he and Thalia stepped up to the table, "that's too long.
Can't they hurry it up?"
"No Percy, they can't," Julia sighed, "at the worst case scenario we will
have to leave certain things behind, like businesses and luxury homes,
taking with us only what we need."
Percy nodded, "agreed. And if you want I can come back here at a later
date and move everything, that is if Kronos leaves anything behind."
Rob growled, "look let's not go there. Let's focus on the here and now.
Do we know when he's attacking?"
Thalia shook her head, "no, Hermes squad just managed to escape
their notice and are making their way here, but before they left it just
looked like the Titans aren't doing much."
"What do we know about the army we face?" Zoe asked.
Percy took out the list he got from Lee and gave it to her, "here."
She read it over and cursed, [fucking Hades we are screwed.]
Percy chuckled, "couldn't agree more."
"We can't give up faith," Julia argued, "we don't need to fight them, just
hold them back long enough."
"And how exactly do you expect us to retreat?" Rob asked, "we can't
get away fast enough Julia."
"I think we can help with that," Thalia spoke up, "I asked the Demetre
kids and Castor to make more ropes for use. If Percy can tie it from
one end of the labyrinth to the other we could use the Labyrinth as a
way to retreat."
"That's a dangerous plan," Rob warned, "I have heard stories about
that place. We can't afford to lose men inside."
"If we don't do this then everyone dies Rob," Julia warned, "we have no
choice." the son of Mars argued some more, but eventually gave in to
the smarter Praetor.
"We need a plan of defence," Zoe spoke, "there is a lot of ways the
Titans could vanquish us."
"Agreed," Percy nodded as they looked over the map, "I had a few
suggestions."
It was decided that the main focus of worry for them would be the
giants and Gregoras the Titan's possessed. They would be the most
dangerous opponents and would probably be used for as a tank to
break through their defences.
Luckily the Romans' cannons and catapults could take care of them.
Trenches would also have to be dug up, and traps, pitfalls, arrow
volleys, the works. Zoe volunteered the hunters for the trap designing,
after all those girls did know a thing or two about them.
Just as they laid down the final plans for defence a legionnaire came
charging in. "Ma'am! Sir! You need to come quick!"
The entire tent went tense. "What is it Greg?" Rob asked grabbing his
blade's handle, "are they here already?"
"No sir," Greg said smiling, "it's the civilians!"
The Praetors grew worried as they quickly ran out with Percy, Thalia
and Zoe following suit. They stopped outside the gates of the fort
where standing in neatly arranged rows were the adults of New Rome
wearing the armour and weapons they were bestowed upon in the
Dreamworld by Ares and Aphrodite.
Julia looked confused, "what is this?"
"We couldn't just let you have all the glory now could we?" one
legionnaire said as he took off his helmet revealing Saito underneath.
The scientist looked aged and tired, but he also looked ready for battle.
He had strange white tools strapped to his belt, and something told
Percy they weren't computers.
Chapter 733
"Saito? What's going on here?" Rob asked, "what are you all doing
here?"
"Well a bunch of us got together and realised we all still had a part to
play in the battle," Saito smirked, "we wish to rejoin the roman army sir.
If you'll have us."
Julia and Rob were stunned, amazed and stunned. Fighting in the
Dreamworld was one thing, it was a matter of survival. But rejoining the
army and risking your own life? Well that was another thing entirely.
Julia smiled, breaking out of her stunned surprise, "then I would gladly
have you all. Welcome back, sixth cohort."
"Aye!" the cheered. The title was temporary and didn't mean much. But
it was feeling of pride that it aroused which was important.
Julia and Rob set out to quickly assign the newly rejoined legionnaires.
Most were simply sent back to New Rome to help with the dismantling
while the others were assigned to sentry duty, especially those who
were legacies of Apollo.
Thalia, Percy and Zoe stayed back for most of this, simply watching
them all at work. Eventually though they grew bored.
"I shall return to the Hunters," Zoe informed the couple before nodding
to them and leaving.
Percy narrowed his eyes, he felt like he was forgetting something, but
for the life of him he couldn't remember what it was. Just then his hand
graced his jeans, feeling Riptide and Waverider inside and it hit him.
"Thalia, I'll meet up with you and the others later," Percy kissed her
forehead, "there's something I have to do."
Thalia looked at Zoe and smirked, "you do realise she'd take a vow of
chastity right?"
Percy rolled his eyes, "oh shut up you," Thalia giggled as she gave him
a kiss and left, allowing Percy to catch up with Zoe. "Zoe! We need to
talk."
The lieutenant of the Hunters turned around, "about what?"
"About this?" Percy reached into his pocket and pulled out Riptide, he
flicked the cap open revealing its true form. The bronze shined in the
sun, it's metal polished like the day he stole it from Chion. And upon
seeing it's from Zoe gasped in recognition.
"Anaklusmos," she whispered in recognition.
Percy nodded as he held the sword up, "Chiron gave it to me...well it's
more like I took it from him, but I swear it was totally for a good
reason...kind of."
Zoe held out her hand and Percy gave the blade to her handle first.
She traced her fingers down the greek letters carved into it's spine,
looking at it's sides with nostalgic gaze. Her eyes quickly settled on the
tip where a small chip was broken off. She narrowed her eyes, "it is
chipped."
Percy rubbed his neck, "yeah...sorry about that. I needed to use it to
make myself a new weapon and...if I had another choice I would have
taken it, I swear. But I didn't."
Zoe sighed, "I have not seen this accursed blade in a long time."
"It belongs to you yes?" Percy asked recalling the description he read
on Riptide the first time he got it. He remembered it so clearly, "I...I just
thought you should know. If you want it I don't mind giving it back, I
mean technically it is your blade after all."
Zoe looked at Percy and then back to Riptide. She closed her eyes and
sighed, tossing it back to Percy before turning and leaving, "keep it, it
has brought me nothing but pain and suffering. I hope for thou it proves
to be useful."
Percy was a little disappointed she didn't want the blade, after all it was
hers. He didn't feel disappointed for himself though, but more for
Riptide, it was strange, yes, but it felt like the blade shined less now,
almost like it was sad being rejected by it's true master.
Percy capped the sword and walked back to Thalia, all the while
wondering just what was the real story of Riptide, Zoe and Hercules.
At 3 in the afternoon:
Percy had summoned his servants out and assigned them duties. The
Romans and greeks knew about all his servants, so he found no
reason to hide them anymore. He summoned every single one of them,
except Aceous. He wasn't sure, but he didn't want to risk Gia's gaze
focusing on him by bringing back her supposedly dead son.
The Romans were given Hyperion to order around while the rest were
assigned various duties. Timmy and Alecto were ordered to patrol the
skies while Marcia, Craig and Zed were limited to the ground troops.
Percy also summoned Cerberus, he let the dog play around all over
the place, and when Nico arrived he placed the dog under him and
Bianca's care.
The Hermes squad had arrived a little after noon. Nico, Bianca and
Decker were thrilled to seeing all their friends agains after so long. In
real life that is.
Nico and Bianca set to work immediately afterwards, with Percy's help
they were able to build trenches and pit falls in seconds while it would
have taken hours normally.
The entire greek and Roman army became very mingled with one
another, they had already fought in a way together, and now seeing the
Greeks come to the Roman's side only made strengthened their
relationship.
Nico also set to work getting rid of all the fairs in camp. It wasn't a
popular move, but it was needed. Once Percy mentioned how there
were rumors of necromancers hidden in the Titan's ranks everyone
realised the ghosts were a liability.
In some cases the ghosts themselves willingly left, swearing to travel
the countryside to reach camp half-blood, reuniting with the others
once more in the new location for New Rome.
The path in the labyrinth became cleared up, Percy went through the
thing five time, following the rope vine that Katie and Castor had made.
And once he was sure it lead to from camp Jupiter to the entrance
below the Fist of Zeus he had several others test it.
Chapter 734
It was a few people at first, Percy didn't know if his powers were the
reason one could travel between the points, or it was because the
Labyrinth was actually designed that way, after all every time someone
went into it they were with Percy in some form. But now that couldn't be
guaranteed.
So they had to test it out. Five people went in first with Percy following
them twenty feet behind. Then went that was successful it increased to
thirty people with Percy following fifth feet behind.
It went upto a hundred demigods going in the Labyrinth and reaching
the other side without issue and alone. It seemed that Percy's powers
merely helped show the closest route to a desired location within the
Labyrinth, meaning if one knew it, they didn't require Percy to guide
them.
And so their escape route was secured.
The fort had also been packed up, the construction material was 40
feet high and weighed several tons. Most were wondering how Percy
would even transport all of this, and their jaws were all on the floor
when he saw it pick it up and throw it into his inventory.
Percy had to release three of his seals to obtain the required strength,
but it was worth it. He quickly had everything packed away in the fort
and slowly the city of New Rome was being packed as well.
Nearly half the governmental buildings were stored in Percy's storage
by now, with a few buildings and the college. The people were working
tirelessly, and when he could Percy leant a helping hand. But right now
his attention was required elsewhere.
"What have you found?" Percy asked as Carrie lead him into the
library. The shelves were being broken down and the books stored in
cardboard boxes. They were neatly packed and documented, Carrie's
influence no doubt.
She lead him to a corner of the library that was still in one piece,
pointing at an open book before them that displayed a warrior fighting
in a large battle with the name Achilles displayed in bold on top in
ancient greek.
"The curse is something that is giving by the river of the Underworld,
the Styx," Carrie worded her sentence carefully as to not accidentally
swear an oath on the ancient river, "each of the rivers in the underworld
has a particular property. One can heal all wounds, one can wipe away
your memories and this one, can make any who dip themselves in it
immune to mortal weapons."
Percy read the text quickly, learning in detail just what had happened to
Achilles, "so anyone who dips themselves in the river become
invulnerable?"
"Yes, completely invulnerable, except for one spot on their body."
"Their heel?" Percy asked.
"No, that is not the case," Carrie shook her head, "from what I have
found it is discovered that one's mortal point could be anywhere, it
depends on the person. Achelis was just a child when his mother
dipped him into the pool holding him up by his ankles. He had no
choice in his mortal point, it was chosen for him. But if an adult dips
inside..."
"Then they can chose whatever point they want," Percy cursed, "this is
bad, this is very very bad. Is there anyway to counter this? Any spell?
Anything?"
And to his great surprise, Carrie smiled. "Yes, there is."
Percy blinked in utter surprise, "really?"
"Really," Carrie nodded, "the little Timber, the river that surrounds us, it
is a piece of Roman heritage, an enchanted piece of the real Timber
than follows the camp around wherever we go. We have no control
over it, but it is exactly what you are looking for. The curse of Achilles if
a Greek curse, as such a wash in a roman river can counter the curse,
making the user vulnerable once more."
Percy's face threatened to split in two with his grin, "Carrie, I could kiss
you."
"Do that and I'll skin you alive."
"And yet my feelings don't change," Percy smiled, "this is perfect
Carrie, thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I may not be able to
fight him back, but at least now he isn't going to fucking untouchable."
Carrie raised an eyebrow, "who are you talking about?"
Percy meet her eyes and whispered, "Saturn."
Fear struck her deep as she connected the dots. "If he gets the curse-"
"-He will be unstoppable," Percy nodded before smiling, "but as you
just said Carrie, we now have a way to stop him, at least until we can
get everyone to safety."
Carrie eventually calmed down and Percy helped her get packed. It
didn't take long, thanks to his super speed, and he wished her well
before leaving to find Thalia.
He searched the fort and the army ranks for her finding her in the fifth
cohort with Jason and a couple of his friends.
Percy watched from afar as she laughed at a story Jason told her
about the time he was chased down by an angry Hannibal the
elephant.
"Oh and till this day everytime Hannibal looks at me I swear it's like he
wants to strangle me with it's trunk!" Jason snorted as the others
laughed.
Thalia chuckled, "well little brother you know what the say, elephants
have a long memory. They never forget anything."
"So basically you're screwed Jason," a male legionnaire spoke up
causing everyone to chuckle at the son of Jupiter.
Percy smiled as he watched Thalia and Jason exchange stories, it had
made him envious to say the least, he never did have a proper brother.
John didn't count, he and Percy never lived in the same house, never
experienced the same things. It was cruel really, to live in a place
surrounded by family and still feel alone to a certain degree.
Percy always felt that the demigods were his family...but they weren't
always-
"What's that?!" someone cried out. Everyone turned to the skies and
there flying right at them was a flaming iron ball.
Percy's eyes widened, he turned to Thalia, "Thalia! Get everyone
ready! I'll hold them off for as long as I can!"
Thalia turned to Percy and nodded. Percy readied his gauntlet and
cried out, "Tsunami!" the armor exploded onto his body, covering him in
his now iconic black armour with the white cape fluttering behind him.
Next Percy released his strength seals;
Seal Release: Layer 10 Time: 1 1.2 months
STR- 42,467,328 (+11+20+75)= 42,467,436
He jumped into the air, leaping towards that flaming ball. Percy
reached it in seconds, he threw his right hand out, thrusting it into the
flaming iron ball, and threw it back with all his might.
Chapter 735
The small shot back like a bullet out of a gun, flying back towards the
army coming in the horizon. Percy floated in the air and looked down,
the army was coming at them from the North, simple and direct.
The cannonball landed in the heart of a approaching army, Percy could
see with his 8.0 vision that several enhanced animals had died from
the impact.
Percy waved his hand forming a misty surface, he tossed a coin in and
called up Rob. In seconds the praetor appeared before him.
"Percy, where are they?!"
"They are coming North," Percy told him, "I can see giants, enhanced
animals, monsters, everything. But a few of the giants and undead are
missing, I think either they are being held back for a second wave or
their coming from another direction."
Rob nodded, "I'll move our troops, hold them back for as long as you
can."
"Don't worry I fully-"
"PERCY JACKSON! COME AND FACE ME!"
It reminded Percy of a scene from his trials, when he was sent to a
world unlike his own, where everyone he loved died, where he had to
defeat Kronos as a human. It was a dream, but it felt so real, and it
began with Kronos inviting them while riding a dragon.
Which was exactly what he was doing now.
The beast was green with blackish scales and a wing span large
enough to eclipse a a football field. And on it's neck stood Kronos,
riding into battle as he pulled on the chains tied around the dragon's
neck.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Percy hissed.
Anacleto and Timmy quickly came to Percy's side. They too stared at
the giant monstrosity currently flying towards them in awe.
"What's the plan?" Timmy asked.
"The plan is this, Timmy you and I are going after him, I'll take on
Kronos you fight the dragon, Alceto, if you see anything else flying that
isn't with us, take it down. Got that?"
Alecto drew her arrows, "got it."
"Then let's move!" Percy cried out as he and Timmy charged forward.
"JACKSON!" Kronos cried out.
"Hey!" Percy cried out as he charged in like a cannonball right into
Kronos's chest, pushing him off the dragon, falling downwards with
him.
Once they were out of the way Timmy used his powers to cause
several gusts of wind to push up against the dragon's wings, batting it
around like a rubber ball.
Percy and Kronos crashed into the Earth in the middle of the forest
surrounding camp. Kronos's back took all the damage with the
demigod standing over him. Percy quickly took out his blades, thrusting
them at the Titan's eyes.
Kronos saw the blades coming and acted on instinct, activating his
powers over time to slow Percy down.
The demigod's body felt like it was moving through jelly, Kronos was
slowing him down, but not for long. Using his own powers over time
Percy felt the strange way Kronos used his mana to restrain him, and
broke through.
Ping!

Percy was able to move once again, but by then Kronos had managed
to push him off his body, throwing him into a nearby tree.
Percy quickly got back on his feet and looked up at Kronos, the mad
titan had taken out his own blade, narrowing his eyes at Percy.
"This time you will die Percy Jackson," Kronos growled, "you aren't
as powerful as you were back in the dream world, I can feel it!"
Percy gulped, "maybe, but I've fought monsters like you before, I have
gone up against bigger odds and won. I have been fighting smart long
before I have been fighting hard, so this is just going to be me doing a
throwback to old times."
Kronos growled as he charged ahead with his blade in hand. He
swiped at Percy's sides, aiming to cut off his head and or limbs. But the
demigod was too fast for the Titan.
Percy kept dodging out of the way, not allowing a single strike to come
close to him, knowing that if it did it would be his last.
Kronos strikes came faster and faster, until Percy was forced to block a
strike with both his blades, throwing him through the air and into
several tree trunks.
Percy groaned as his arm felt like they were ringing, the blades didn't
shatter from the pure force of the attack, and that could only be
attributed to the fact that they were indestructible. Any other normal
blade, heck, if they were made of Imperial gold they would have
shattered.
Kronos stepped up to Percy, a smile on his handsome face. He foot his
foot on his chest and pushed.
"Argh!" Percy cried out in pain.
"Scream for me Jackson! Scream!"
He pushed down harder, the pile of broken wood Percy laid down on
became crushed into splinters as Percy was pressed down into them.
His body was in pain, it was nearly impossible to deal with. Kronos
raised thrusted his blade forward under Percy's neck. On instinct Percy
looked down, protecting it, catching the blade with his helmet.
Kronos growled a he used his blade as a lever and swiped upwards.
Percy's helmet groaned before it was ripped off from the rest of his
armour revealing his face. Kronos blade danced across his face,
cutting him from his right jaw to the bottom of his eye. The scar would
never disappear.
Percy looked at Kronos, meeting his golden eyes, He grabbed onto
Kronos' feet, activating his body form;
Body Form activated: Full Body!
STR- 42,467,436 X 10 = 424,674,360
He pushed upwards, but Kronos couldn't be moved.
"I will send Thalia your love," Kronos spat out, "do not worry, she
will join you soon enough."
He brought down his sword, Percy was just about to activate his smoke
form and get out of the way when suddenly a pitch black blade came
forward and stopped Kronos's weapon in it's tracks. The ting of their
clash was loud, it sounded like a metal rod hitting a concrete wall.
And holding the black blade was the last person Percy was excepting.
Her blonde hair was let loose reaching till her lower back. She no
longer wore her pencil skirt and white blouse but instead was dressed
in blue robes with white borders. She looked at Kronos, meeting his
eyes, "heya crazy farmer! Fancy meeting you here!"
"Who in Hades are you?" Kronos asked.
"Mrs. J?" Percy asked in utter surprise.
"Heya Percy! Oh, looks like you're in trouble there, no matter," she
flicked her blade throwing Kronos' arm upwards before she sent a
punch into his solar plexus causing him to go flying backwards into the
air, his sword thrown out of his grip.
"There we go," Mrs. J smiled as looked down at Percy, "well? What are
you waiting for? An invitation? Get your fine ass up Percy!"
Percy got up slowly, his eyes went to her fists which was coated black,
a familiar hue. His eyes went wide, "haki? But, how can you know
haki?"
"Oh come on now Percy, surely you don't still think I'm just an ordinary
highschool teacher do you?" Mrs. J chuckled as she snapped her
fingers causing her hair to turn from a golden blonde to a deep blue.
And her eyes turned from green with golden specks in them, to a
sulphuric yellow.
"Y-you're not normal," Percy said as he looked up at her name,
demanding her identity;
Tanya Jameson, Real life Lara Croft
Lv- 21
And suddenly in front of his eyes it started to change.
Tanya Jameson, Here to help!
Lv- it's over nine thousand!
"What the fuck?" Percy asked as he blinked, "how-"
"-How am I doing that?" Mrs. J asked, "well you see if you know how to
use Haki properly, the entire world is basically your playground. I can
make my title read anything I want it too," she snapped her fingers
again and once more the words floating above her head changed;
Percy Jackson, Sexy seductress
Lv- Pink fluffy unicorn!
Percy couldn't' believe what he was seeing. For the first time ever his
powers weren't working, and this one was given to him by CHAOS
itself! He met her eyes, "who are you?"
The woman smiled, "to keep it simple just keep calling me Mrs. J," as
she spoke her title changed to just that, "and as for what I am...well
that's a long story. And we don't have time. But what you should know
is that I'm here to help, always."
Percy was about to open his mouth to ask what she means when he
looked over her shoulder and spotted Kronos charging right at them,
with his blade in hand. Damn Titan was fast!
"Ah, he's back, quicker than I expected," Mrs. J frowned, "oh well.
Ready to do this partner?"
Percy knew he didn't have a choice, he needed all the help he could
get. He readied his weapons and stood by her side as Kronos came for
them. Before they began their attack he whispered, "if you betray me I
will destroy you."
Mrs. J just smiled, "if I ever betray you, I will kill myself. This I swear on
the Styx." Thunder rumbled in the sky and Percy could only look on in
utter disbelief as she charged at Kronos with her haki infused weapon.
