With Percy, in his house

Percy looked around his room as he woke up, fiddling with the strand of white hair left behind from when he held the sky. Ever since Gabe's… ahem… 'Mysterious disappearance', the house had changed for the better. His mother had been dating Paul Blofis, who Percy liked to call Mr. Blowfish, and he had been able to communicate more with his friends, seeing as Blofis didn't live with them and thus he could IM them as long as he had Golden Drachmas, which were running low with the amount of calls he had to make and receive. Link and Zoe didn't live at Camp, as you might be thinking, instead they used some rupees to get themselves an apartment near camp. They did live in camp for a while, but moved out after an Apollo kid nearly burned them to death when a stray arrow hit their cabin. The kid had been given a scolding and forced to do dish washing for a whole month. But that wasn't the reason Percy had to do so many calls. Instead, it was because of some of Link's old 'friends'. One of them was a demigod, a girl named Ilia that Link told everyone that she had a crush on him, and was now after Zoe's head. This narrowed down the options to either Aphrodite or Nemesis, goddess of revenge. Link also told them that both Ilia and Link's old leader, Zelda, were on a manhunt after them, backed up by a man named Rusl, a great swordsman, and his son, Collin, who most likely only wanted to see his brother figure again. All in all, it was a godsdamn mess for everyone. Percy got up and got ready for his first day in a new school, and he had the feeling that something was going to go extremely wrong.

…Boy was he right…

Just as he entered the school he saw three people he kinda hoped not to see there: Link, Zoe, and Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the eccentric mortal that could see through the mist. What he did wonder was; why were Link and Zoe there? He would ask them later, right now he'd try to get away from…

"YOU!" Crap…

Apparently Ms. Rachel managed to recognize him perfectly well; then again, it's kinda hard to forget someone who could've cleaved you in half if his sword hadn't been magical. Percy decided to make a run for it while he could, when he stumbled across the cheerleading team.

"Hey there, Fish!"

"Fish?"

"Freshmen, so, what's your name?"

"I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." The minute he said that, the cheerleaders' faces all lost their warm smiles, replaced by creepy ones…

"We've been awaiting you, Perseus Jackson…" Percy had learned one thing in his life so far: If someone he just met called him by his full name, he oughta run. He dashed off in a random direction, the cheerleaders hot on his heels. He managed to sneak off into the gym corridor before bumping into someone who was running the other way.

"Sorry I was… Link?" Percy was shocked when he saw the young hero. He was wearing regular, civilian clothes instead of his tunic. He had a green long sleeved shirt with the word 'Courageous' on the front, a pair of fingerless gloves, most likely to conceal the triforce, and regular jeans. He also had a green cap that covered the tips of his ears.

"Hey Perce, sorry, no time, gotta run, Ilia here, me out!" He said that at a speed that nearly blurred out the words.

"Me too, psycho cheerleaders, gotta run too…" They were both about to speed in the direction the other one had come from, when their respective pursuers appeared in their hallways, both screaming 'THERE!' Both Link and Percy began to run for their lives, running through the door in front of them that had appeared mysteriously. Link was running comically, like a cartoon being chased by something, while Percy ran seriously, trying to get as far away as he could. "WHY DON'T YOU GO WOLF AND GET US OUT OF HERE!"

"I DIDN'T BRING ANY WEAPONS! I DIDN'T THINK I'D FIND MY PSYCHOTIC CHILDHOOD FRIEND HERE! JUST KEEP RUNNING! UFF!" Link's run was stopped when a fist collided into his face, possibly breaking his nose. He looked up to see Rusl, standing with his fist in a position that made it obvious that he gave Link an uppercut. "Percy, these are the times I'm sure the gods have it against me…" Rusl, apparently ignoring Link's comment, began to talk.

"Link, please stop this, come home with us and end all this…" what he said was continued by a small figure stepping out from behind the lockers he was hiding: Collin.

"Please Link, the village isn't the same without you, please come home…"

"You guys… just don't get it right?" Said Link after resetting his nose with a CRACK. "That village…hell, that WORLD stopped being my home the minute Zelda tortured Zoe, I am not going back there, not now, not ever! NOW ZOE!" Before either the Ordonians or the vampire-like demon cheerleaders, the Empousai, could react, the wall was blown up. Several silver feathers flew through and struck some of the Empousai. A silver falcon flew in, carrying a small pouch. Link took the pouch and took out the Master Sword. (A/N If the ball and chain fit there, the Master Sword does too) Zoe turned back human and drew the Luna blade. "Took you long enough…"

"It wasn't me who left the pouch beneath the bed covered by blankets!" Percy noticed that she had said 'the bed' instead of your bed. He'd ask them about it later. Last time he pulled a prank with their relationship, which involved the pictures Thalia, Grover and himself had taken, he had to wait for three hours for someone to pluck him out of the tree he had been pinned to. Sadly, Ilia noticed what Zoe said too.

"Do you two… share a bed…?" In case you're wondering, the two of them had been together officially ever since the event at Mt. Othrys. The colors taken by their faces were enough answer for Ilia. She drew a knife (A/N The one she has in the disturbing illusion shown by Lanayru, only that in celestial bronze instead… I think it was bone…) And threw herself at Zoe. That, combined with the symbol over her head, was enough proof of her status as a Daughter of Nemesis. Her lust for revenge must've been lying dormant for all these years, possibly because she didn't have a reason why to have vengeful feelings. Link, for himself, didn't find it hard to believe; he knew that as peaceful as she was, she wouldn't hesitate to deliver something gruesome in retribution for something. The memories brought pain to his ears. His eyes still closed in embarrassment, he made a single, upward slash with his sword, knocking Ilia's knife from her hand.

"No, we don't share a bed, Zoe sleeps in the bed and I sleep in the couch, my own choice." That wasn't entirely true. Zoe still had nightmares of how she almost died back in Mt. Othrys, and her father still sent her horrible images in her sleep. When that happened, Link would climb into the bed with her until they both fell asleep, but that was nothing Ilia had to know. Link then hit Ilia in the head with the butt of the Master Sword. Zoe placed a small Hylian sleep charm on Rusl and his son. "We should leave while they're out, we were sent here for Percy anyway… And before I forget…" He punched the air right behind him, as if aiming to hit someone above the head. No sooner had his fist been stretched, when Annabeth appeared, her invisibility cap knocked off. "Annabeth, try to hold your breath next time; the ears ain't for show…" Annabeth scurried down to pick up her cap, glaring at Link the whole while.

"It was meant to deceive the Empousai, not you, Hylian."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever Wisey" The two of them got along well, mind you, but tended to get in each other's nerves. Percy knew he did too, but between Annabeth and him it wasn't so bad. Link just downright infuriated her by calling her 'wisey'. "Let's get to camp before Quintus sends Mrs. O'Leary to fetch us. I'm sure I still have hell hound fur on my tunic."

Some hours later, at camp

When they got to camp, Percy nearly passed out. There were craters everywhere, even near the cabins, including the newly made, underground Hades cabin. Link told him that Bianca and Nico had built their cabin using Stygian Iron, which Bianca taught Nico how to summon. They built underground to symbolize their Father's domain. They had also mastered Shadow Travel over the last few months. On her first try, Bianca had landed in the Artic. When she returned, even her Stygian Arm was blue from the cold. Anyway, the reason for these craters was the biggest hell hound Percy had ever seen. He lunged at it with Riptide, when a man appeared out of nowhere and blocked his strike, at the same time Link grabbed by his shirt and pulled him backwards.

"Sorry there, but I can't just have you killing my pet, now can I?" After an explanation that Mrs. O'Leary was a 'nice' hellhound, Percy was greeted by Nico and Bianca (A/N Since Bianca didn't die, there's no reason for Nico to leave camp)

"Hey there, Nico! Nice to see you a…"

"NICO DI ANGELO, WHERE ARE YOU!" All color was drained from Nico's face when he heard that voice. Annabeth stepped forward.

"Nico… What. Did. You. Do?" Hearing Annabeth's tone, nico reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace. It was a simple celestial bronze chain with a small colored sphere hanging from it. "Again, Nico? Listen, Paige may be my second in command, but I doubt I'll be able to keep you from her if you keep stealing her necklace like that. Do you want to have her Beretta pointed at your head again?"

"I'm sorry, it's just that she always leaves it somewhere easy to grab. She practically sets herself up for a prank!" Apparently, Nico had spent too much time near the Stolls. "I'll give it back next time I…"

*CHU-CHINK*

Nico froze again at the sound of a gun being cocked. Percy's eyes were widened to unbelievable sizes when he saw a girl, most likely 15, with blonde hair with blue highlights, pointing a Beretta 9mm handgun at the Son of Hades. Said Demigod held out the hand that held the necklace and the girl took it from him.

"Listen up, tombstone, if you ever, ever, touch my necklace again, I'll send you to your father the hard way, got it?" Nico began to nod frantically, knowing very well that she'd keep that promise. She put on the necklace and turned to Annabeth, unloading the gun. "Hello, Annabeth, I trust you had a good trip?" Percy couldn't help but sweatdrop at the girl. She had been about to blow Nico's brains off just a second ago, and was now speaking calmly to Annabeth.

"It went well, Paige, thank you. Percy, I want you to meet Paige, my second-in-command in the cabin. I'm actually surprised I never introduced you two. Though you may have heard of her as the 'Trigger-happy daughter of Athena'" Percy paled when he heard the girl's nickname. He had heard of her before. She was famous at camp for being the only one with a mortal gun, refitted to fire celestial bronze bullets. She wasn't trigger happy on camp, but on quests, monsters were always bombarded by Celestial bronze. She had a contract with the Hephaestus cabin: As long as she brought them monster remains they could use in their forges, they'd give her bullets. She probably had several boxes of the stuff in the Athena cabin, but no one tried to look through her stuff, mostly because Children of Athena are very sensitive about privacy.

"Nice to meet you, Paige. I'm…"

"Perseus Jackson, son of Sally Jackson and Poseidon, suspect in stealing Lord Zeus's lightning bolt and Lord Hades' Helm of Darkness, you defeated Ares in combat, aided in the recovery of the golden fleece, and also helped in defeating the Titan Atlas." Yup, definitely Daughter of Athena. "I do my homework."

"No kidding…" Paige glared at Zoe lightly.

"What's wrong, moonhead, annoyed that yet another one has done greater feats than you?" Zoe returned the glare, though both their eyes held a glint of playfulness

"I still think that defeating a hundred skuttlers counts as a great achievement…" (A/N I'm only gonna add skuttlers to the Underworld monsters, I couldn't think of an actual mythological monster so… puny) "I could do it without even looking!"

"Want to prove that?" The Demigod and the exiled Evening Nymph kept arguing lightly. Percy approached Link.

"Eh… what's going on?"

"Those two are rivals ever since they met in the Archery field. Paige has the accuracy of an expert sniper with her gun, and Zoe has the same amount of accuracy with her bow and arrows. Ever since that day, they've competed in everything you can imagine. Paige won some, and Zoe won the others. I believe their current score is 50-50"

"50% each?"

"No, 50 points. They've been at it for quite a while now. Anyway, let's get you to the Big House, Chiron wanted to talk to you.

That's it for now! I hope you enjoyed it, and once again, Fang Ride, please let me know if I messed up a bit back there. Until next time, BladeOfThePoet, logging out!
