Percy's POV
10 years later
Let me tell you something about the past decade...it was hard as fuuu...yeah...if you think you know training well then you'll be in for a jolt if you ever join...I'll give you a comparison. If a year of training at camp = 1, then a year of training in the void = 9001. Does that help? Thought so. Even so, it was definitely for the best, we've had some pretty tough fights in our time but we've only lost about Ten soldiers in all of them combined. By 'we' I mean the army. Talking of the army let me tell you how it is laid out.
Chaos
Commander
4 Generals.
Each General has 2 lieutenants
Foot Soldiers
The generals are in charge of an element each. Fire, Earth, Water and Air. However, because enemies will know there is 4 elements in the army, we have a different general with the element. Grover is with the fire soldiers, because his earth powers can block any water ones. Annabeth is with the earth soldiers because of enemy fire users. Thalia is with the water soldiers, to redirect lightning because, you know, water is a great conductor. Which leaves Nico with the Air soldiers, just because there is no other element left.
So anyway, I was training with some automations when Will ran in.
" Hey, Chaos wants to see you" I looked over to him
"Yeah ok" With that I broke myself down into tiny water molecules and travelled over to Chaos. A nifty little trick I had learned in my time with Chaos.
A minute later I was there.
"Chaos, what's wrong?" I asked, secretly hoping that I would be finally going on a mission. I had been training for 10 years and I thought I was ready to finally go on a mission. As if he had read my mind he looked at me with that twinkle in his eye and smirk that I had learnt meant trouble.
"You're going on a mission" He said looking at me amused. Probably read my mind.
"Yes Percy I know you've been bored but you need to train."
"Blah blah blah" I joked
He turned more serious now.
"You can take one person with you. I suggest Mrs Jackson." I blushed, I had proposed to Annabeth when I was 22 and we got married a couple of months later.
"Yeah, may I ask why?" Of course I was gonna take her. We had done everything together for 4 years (He's 27 now)
"This is a thing that requires lots of logic. Mrs Jackson has that doesn't she?" I nodded furiously. She definitely did. She was probably smarter than Athena herself.
"Soo...when do we go?" I asked
"As soon as possible,"Chaos replied, "And you will be going to the fiery moon Io that orbits around the gas giant Jupiter.
"Ok then, will we take the warp ship?" I had been itching to try that out.
"No, this will be a good test for you abilities of portal creation" Ah. Yeeah..I dread to think where we will end up.
"Have at least a little faith in yourself Percy" He said to me putting a small bit of hope in that chasm of unhopefulness.
"Yeah ok.."
~A couple of hours later, on the moon Io~
"Done!" I exclaimed gratefully. I could finally go back to Chaos' planet and see Thalia and Nico. Annabeth looked round to me and we shared a kiss.
"Lets go home then" She said, waiting for me to create a portal.
"Sure" I said, creating a portal in front of us. We stepped through together.
The first feeling I got was falling. I panicked but then remembered my powers. I quickly changed the wind direction and power so that we were slowly floating down.
"Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed. I grinned sheepishly. We got down to the ground and I looked around. We were in a dry, barren desert with a couple of mountains dotted around here and there
"Where are we?" I breathed.
"A good question boy" A voice said from behind me. I spun around to see a man with grey hair but giant muscles, like a stronger Ares. He had a double bladed battle axe in his hand that glinted in the sunlight.
"Who are you!" I asked him
"Why, I am Ourea the primordial of the mountains and it was I who got you here" I looked at him with malice. Behind me, Annabeth gasped. Ourea raised his axe and swung at me with a chop downwards. I quickly jumped back and the axe hit the sand in front of me. I looked for Annabeth but she had gone. Suddenly a knife appeared in the primordial's back and dust and silver ichor flowed from it.
"You stupid girl!" He roared and backhanded her into a rock.
"Annabeth!" I screamed. Red clouded my vision and I charged the primordial, I brought riptide out and uncapped it. I swung Riptide in an arc but he just stepped back. I lit myself on fire and attacked him again. And again. And again. He seemed impossible to beat! It was like the earth was healing him! It probably was to be honest. I remembered the fight I had had 12 years ago with my half brother in the Labyrinth. I had to use the same tactic. But there wasn't any chains dangling from above like last time...Suddenly my mind came to a conclusion and I almost kicked myself. I rose into the air and used the air to lift him up to
"WHAT!? WHAT IS THIS?!" he shouted as he rose up into the air I slashed at him and silver ichor splattered onto the sand. Suddenly, as I concentrated on keeping him up, he threw his axe at me with such precision that I didn't have time to dodge it. I fell to the floor. I suppose he thought he could leave me for a bit as he stalked his way over to Annabeth.
"Annabeth!" I shouted, but she didn't hear me. She was still unconscious. He raised his axe over his head and took aim at Annabeth's neck.
"The first blood in a new war!" He shouted, his eyes shining with glee and he started cackling like a madman.
"No!" I screamed and managed to shoot a torrent of water at him, blasting him off course and his axe hit the burning sand.
"GAH!" You shall pay boy! Being the Chosen of Chaos does not matter to me!" He shouted at me as he charged at me. I concentrated over my power over water and willed a small lake to appear in the desert. That took a lot of the energy I have left I thought to myself. It was hard to will water into existence. I then froze the water, taxing me of more of my precious energy. He ran onto the slippery ice field and face-planted the ice, breaking his nose as he got a silver nose bleed. I ran up to him, having perfect control on the ice and sliced at him. Silver ichor from the scars he had started to bleed out. I blasted him with a plume of fire and he got burns. A lot of them. He got up and slashed at me, catching me off guard, because I thought that he'd be down for a couple of seconds and I could have a few seconds of rest bite.
3rd Person POV
The intense battle lasted for hours upon hours with neither fighter gaining the upper hand. Soon day became night and the battle still carried on. However, what neither fighter had seen, was that Annabeth had become conscious. She stepped into the lake created by Percy's will power and the big gash on the back of her head healed. You may be wondering how she did this without being noticed. Well, she had her invisibility cap on, and with that magic, neither Ourea nor Percy could see her. However, as the fight continued, both Percy and Ourea pushed away and tried to get a bit of rest. Percy stepped into the lake to heal and felt another presence in the lake. He froze, and willed himself to know who that person was. He relaxed and allowed himself a small smile when he felt it was Annabeth. He dipped his head underwater and felt Annabeth do it too. He decided to try what he had done with Tyson, those fifteen years ago. He called out to Annabeth mentally.
"Annabeth?" He questioned, sending his thought through the water.
"Percy? Is that you?" Came the anxious reply
"Yeah, that's me. Are you ok? I had no idea that you'd healed" He told her worriedly, swimming closer to where he felt her.
"Yeah, I'm ok now," Annabeth sent back "But I think you'd better get ready, Ourea looks like he's better. Also, make him fight you in the water- It's much smarter"
Percy face palmed at himself that he didn't think of that earlier. He forced the air to push Ourea in to the water, and then solidified it under his feet so he wouldn't touch the floor. From then he slashed, hacked and stabbed at the primordial, the silver ichor tainting the water he had created. Finally, Ourea's knees buckled and he was on the solidified water, silver ichor bleeding from everywhere on him.
"Tell me your plans!" Percy demanded, with Annabeth becoming visible to help interrogate him
"NEVER!" Ourea shouted, not willing to give away his plans lest his master haunt them him in the void.
Percy stabbed him in the gut, but failed to realise that Ourea was in so much pain, his nervous system wasn't really registering any more pain that what he already had. Which was quite a lot. Percy had never done an interrogation before, not really knowing how, and not really wanting to.
"Fine!" Percy said through gritted teeth. "We'll take you back to the Alpha planet and interrogate you there!" Annabeth nodded at his logic and Percy stared to slowly open a portal back to the planet .
They stepped through and saw darkness.
What is this!? Percy thought. This wasn't the Alpha planet! Where were they?!
So um...heh...I...uh...got nothing...Yeah...I decided to get off my lazy arse and do some writing. Anyway, hope you guys are all ok. I will reply to reviews via PM and if you don't have an account I'm sorry, make one. =)
