Hey guys, I am back after that little break, I just didn't feel like writing and decided to take a break, so I just edited chapter 2 which has been updated like chapter 1 so if you want to check them out, feel free.
Also please review it really gets me in the mood to start writing another chapter. I don't care if it's constructive criticism either, or if you have an idea about the story then let me know and I will try my best to implement it if I feel like it could work with the plot idea. I am also going to start replying to reviews.
*If you notice any spelling mistakes or grammar for that matter please pm me so I can fix it*

ThatCrazyBrit94: I don't know if you saw it last chapter but I did say I was taking a week off due to homecoming, and then in this one I just wanted to take a break. Thanks for the review though.
Percy Pov:
I had been riding my bike for quite a while now and was about to the point of needing to get gas. So I stopped in Washington D.C. and while I was getting gas at the Exxon my stomach started to rumble like thunderstorm. Trust me I know what that sounds like. So With that in mind I finished filling up my bike and drove around to look for something to eat.
That is until I spotted walking towards the Museum of Natural History. Deciding to get food later I parked my bike and put it in my back pocket before following him inside.
When I got to the front door of the museum I noticed a sign that said,
"Reserved for a special event."
Now I am no expert on national museums but I am pretty sure you can't close one for a birthday party. Making sure no one was watching I silently snuck in, and turned around just in time to see the door shut to the dinosaur exhibit. I went to the door of the exhibit before sneaking next to it and using the electricity in the room to hear what was going on.
Right when I was about to give up so I could make my train I heard a deep voice, that rumbled with power.
"Bring them to me Thorn, you have already failed me once you better hope and pray that these are real or you will suffer my burden."
"Yes General." Thorn's voice wavered a bit as he said it.
I was confused I mean who would could make a monster as old as the Manticore tremble in fear? I was brought out of my thoughts by a deep laugh.
"Silly mortals don't know when they have dragons' teeth."
I tried to rack my brain for what this could be but I couldn't think of anything as to what this guy wants with dragons' teeth or who he is.
Deciding my best option was to get a better look I used the wind inside the room to see where everyone was looking. Realizing that there was 6 people in the room and they were all looking at the ground as one guy planted the dragon's teeth I made my move.
I sucked all the air out of the door area so it would be like space and have no sound. I left only a little bit in front of me so I could breathe, I then opened the door and closed it. Once that was done I used the air to fly me up to the top of the balcony. Crouching down as one of the people looked up towards me, before turning away again to the guy planting the last seed.
Once I was sure I was clear I looked back up taking a look inside the room. I saw a giant man sitting on top of what looked to be a throne, along with Dr. Thorn and a couple of demigods. One of which had a nasty scar down the side of his face, and blonde hair. His position and posture however, made me think that he was a high up leader of some sorts.
Once my survey of the room was complete I noticed that they were done planting the teeth and gasped in shock as once the teeth were watered, skeletons sprouted and grew from the ground in full Greek armor ready to fight. I counted 8 in total, and having never seen these things before I sent a silent prayer to Hades to find out what they were. In the meantime however The General started talking again.
"Luke Castellan do you have the cloth?"
"Yes sir the cloth of the huntress Zo-." The dude with the scar was cut off by the General
"DON'T SAY HER NAME." The General roared which I swear caused an earthquake.
The blonde now known as Luke took the silver cloth of a huntress and gave it to the Skeletons. That is when Hades answered my prayer.
"Be careful Perseus those are Spartoi they will hunt a target to the ends of earth if given a scent, and only a child of mine or a blade blessed by me can kill them. If you throw your sword in the closest shadow I will bless it for you, as repayment for saving my children."
I sent another prayer back "Thank you Uncle"
I then put my sword in the shadows as the shadows then twisted, and molded around it before stopping and slithering away.
"The sword can now kill Spartoi and any creature from my realm. Good luck Perseus."
Once that was done I turned back to the situation down below. The General smiled manically before saying,
"The demigods will not stand a chance now, but before we get to that I feel that the intruder properly introduces himself."
I gasped, how did he know I was here?
That quickly became the least of my worries though when I heard the footsteps of the people down below running up the stairs. Thinking fast I turned and jumped out the window before using the air currents to bring me to the rooftop staying there for a second to get my bearings.
That's when I heard the footsteps again coming up to the roof access, so I then hopped to my feet and created some fire in my hand before throwing it at the door melting it together on the spot. Once that was done I jumped off the roof landing down.
I thought I was safe but, I looked at the entrance of the museum only to see the door burst open and outcome 8 Spartoi. Seeing that there were a lot of mortals around meaning that I couldn't fight. So I do the only logical thing at the time and run, I ran until I made it to the Air and Space Museum thinking that would be the best area to fight them at.
Oh how wrong I was.
I burst in expecting to see some mortals looking at exhibits etc. What I did not expect was demigods and hunters of Artemis fighting the Nemean Lion. I surveyed the battle and saw that they were not doing all too well a camper was knocked out in the back, and everyone looked tired, it didn't help that the hunters looked to be almost out of arrows.
I caught Zoe's eye, at first she had a look of confusion but it then changed to an I don't care for an explanation right now just help. So that is exactly what I did, first however I made sure to melt the door to the entrance in case we gained any unwanted visitors. Once that was done I jumped into action, while the lion was distracted with the girl demigod from camp I uncapped Riptide and tried to cut of its tail.
It just bounced off, I cursed under my breath. While it might not have done visible damage, it apparently did something because the lion immediately turned towards me and roared making me step back. That's when it struck me the lion had no fur in its mouth.
So I yelled to Zoe, "Aim for the mouth, it's our best chance."
It took her a second, but it finally dawned on her, once it did she nodded and informed the other hunter. By this point it was only me and the hunters left, the three demigods from Camp Half-Blood were knocked unconscious. So before the lion could pounce on the hunter's position I drew its attention again, this time I did it by throwing a fireball at its back causing it to roar in pain as it's insides burned.
That's when the hunters moved into action firing at least a dozen combined into the lion's maw, it let out one last cry before falling over and poofing into magical dust. I let loose a sigh of relief as did the hunters. The pelt of the Nemean lion was left so I picked it up and put it in my bag I decided I would look at it later and decide what to do with it then. Right as I was about to explain what was going on, I heard the chatter of skeleton bones at the door I melted shut. I cursed in Greek before looking at Zoe.
"Grab the two girl demigods I will grab the boy on my way out, go to the train station I will meet you there we have more company."
She was about to complain when I said. "You have few arrows and are wore out, take some ambrosia grab the demigods and meet me at the train station. I will explain everything there."
She still wanted to protest but nodded grudgingly before her and her companion ate some ambrosia, then picked up the two female demigods and sprinted out the back door. I thought to myself just got to give them about ten minutes so these Spartoi won't follow them.
I picked up the male demigod and put him in a safe position, right as I did however the door busted open and in came the 8 Spartoi I quickly moved away from the demigod. Once in a open area I hit my watch for my armor and unsheathed my sword before getting in a defensive stance.
The Spartoi cackled before one of them charged me. It swung down and I tried to block it, but for a thing that has no muscle it hit incredibly hard. So I made a conscious reminder to parry their blows. After staggering back a bit I made a swing for his torso however with teamwork another Spartoi blocked and another sung at me from my left which I blocked with my shield.
I backed up against a partially destroyed wall from the Nemean lion fight so I wouldn't have to worry about my back. I got back into a defensive stance just in time for three Spartoi to start a battle of blades with me.
I swung for the head of the one on the right, however the middle one blocked it with his sword so I took the opportunity to bash him with my shield. I then ducked down a sword flying above me. Raising up my shield I countered a blade before stabbing one in the ribcage, the Spartoi apparently did not think I could kill them because they cackled when I stabbed the middle one. But when it turned into a pile of golden dust they stopped.
They didn't take to kindly to that, so three more joined the fight making it a five on one. I figured everyone else was safe so I started to think of a way out as I stayed on the defensive constantly parrying, dodging and blocking. Once I saw the hole in the sky I knew my plan, but first I had to buy myself sometime.
So I started off by parrying the next attack that came at me with my shield before stabbing it in the ribcage, before dropping low and kicking the one behind me on the ground. I then bashed my shield on its neck severing the skull from the body. Thinking that would buy me some seconds I then started my assault on the remaining three throwing a fireball at one before slashing another's arm off. Sadly it didn't kill it but I hoped the arm wouldn't attach back.
The others had started coming towards me and the one I had decapitated had gotten up. Knowing that I only had a few seconds left I summoned the biggest bolt of lightning I could slamming it on the one in front of me. Its bones flew everywhere one even hitting one of the Spartoi coming at me in the head knocking it down.
Using my opportunity I ran for the unconscious demigod grabbing him and shooting off into the sky using the air currents to speed me towards the train station.
I reached the train station in about two minutes, a few people pointed at me but most just went about their day. Everyone was waiting on me so when I landed on the ground behind them all but Zoe jumped. Also the female demigods had apparently woken up so that was a plus, on the downside the male demigod I had was still out for the count.
Zoe looked at me "We are out of danger now Perseus tell us what is going on. Why you are here and not with milady, and what was chasing you."
Just as I was about to reply gunshots ruined it and we were forced to run again. I threw the boy on my shoulders before yelling over my shoulder. "Follow me."
I then sprinted down the train yard hoping they were following me I looked up and saw a black helicopter following us so I concentrated hard and summoned a massive lightning bolt that blew the helicopter into a lot of shrapnel. That rained down from the sky like hail. Once that was done I took a look behind me and saw everyone following me thankfully.
One of the female demigods whispered "thanks dad" which I laughed at in my head thinking Zeus wouldn't have done anything, because he is too scared of his own ancient laws. I threw that thought out of my mind however when the bullets started flying.
I pumped more energy into my legs bolt it for the train that just started to move, named "Sun West Railway." at that time I looked behind me and saw one of the demigods struggling to keep up. So I used the most energy I could and summoned a wall of flames that blocked the men before putting everything I had into making it on that train. Zoe beat me to it however and opened the side entrance helping everyone get in. Until I was the last one, at that point the people made it around my flames and had opened fire again.
The bullets were missing me by mere inches and if I didn't have to carry this stupid demigod I would have made it by now. That's when a bullet hit my shoulder and I had to bite down the pain and get this demigod on board. So using what energy I had left I used the wind to push me forward to beside the train before then using it to get myself inside.
Once I got inside I threw the boy off of my good shoulder before leaning up against a wall and pulling some ambrosia out of my bag munching on it so my arm could heal. Zoe gave me a pointed look making me sigh knowing that I had to explain what was going on.
However that never happened because right as I was about to open my mouth the god of music himself appeared.
