Chapter 5: Leaping Back Home
WARNING: Sibling-like Perzoe, Percy/Clarisse. Don't like? Don't read.
Oh, and it takes place approx. a hundred years before Skyrim.
Shadow POV
Looks like Mom's sending me to Earth. I strapped on my Nightingale Armor, sheathed my bow and sword, and waited for the portal to the Redemption Zone. Mom never really told me who Calamity, Lunar, and Shadeslayer are. The only thing I know is that they're adopted by Jyggalag, Hircine, and Meridia, respectively. Just kidding. I know it's Percy, Thalia, and Nico. The first time I was in the Zone was when Nocturnal came to pick me up, bring me here in the Evergloam, and adopt me. I wasn't the only one there that time. There's Bianca and Zoe, who were adopted by Meridia and Jyggalag respectively. And they also know who the three are. If I find Annie and the Marcus guy, they will pay!
Daybreak POV
I'm going to Earth with those two lovebirds? Heck yeah! That's right. Luke and Zoe, sitting on a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! I wore full Glass(Malachite) armor that allows me to cast Destruction and Restoration spells for free!. Unlike Nico, now Shadeslayer according to Meridia, I was more of a mage than a speedy neck slicer. Once I get down to Earth, I'm gonna rip that Zack boy apart then send the pieces to Namira!
Lawbringer POV
Going to Earth? With Luke? And Bianca? I would love to go see them again. Wait, we're supposed to meet in the Redemption Zone, right? Okay, we could go see Percy, Thalia, and Nico again. If I find that wisdom b**** and the two men that caused their betrayal, I'm gonna flatten their egos! Whenever my father's off wandering the wastes, I'm under the eye of Peryite. I brought two Daedric daggers, a Daedric Bow, and a set of Dark Brotherhood armor, which was a gift from Thalia after a visit to Nirn.
Third Person POV
Calamity, Lunar, Shadeslayer, and Nightlady are still waiting for "extra help". Apparently, Meridia told them that three more demidaedra will help them in aiding the Olympians. They weren't too surprised to see Shadow, Daybreak, and Lawbringer entering via separate portals.
"Luke! Zoe! Bianca!" Thalia greeted.
"Hey, guys!" Bianca exclaimed. Luke noticed Nightlady.
"Who's the girl?" he asked.
"That's Miranda, Thalia's half sister." Nico explained.
"THAT'S MIRANDA?!" the others questioned.
"H...Hi." Nightlady nervously greeted.
"Brother, that's the girl who got threatened?" Lawbringer asked Calamity. Since Zoe and Percy were adopted by the same Prince, they're technically siblings.
"Aye. She's one of us now, after Zeus disowned her." Calamity replied.
They were pretty pissed afterwards. Luke screamed insults at Zeus, Bianca slammed her hands on the wall constantly, and Zoe was turning a Flesh Atronach into a human stress ball. The poor guy was being squeezed a lot.
"Okay, we get it. You guys are pissed." Calamity muttered. "Now, can we go to Earth now? Some of them still believe us."
"Like?" Shadow questioned.
"Clarisse, Chris, Connor, Travis, Katie, and Jake."
Back on Earth...
The Olympians had their meeting, again. Hestia wasn't around because of the tantrum yesterday. They're discussing strategies, etc. while insulting the Zone, Percy/Calamity, Thalia/Lunar, Nico/Shadeslayer, and Miranda/Nightlady.
"Wait, Percy's among the otherworldly demigods that were supposed to aid us?" Travis asked.
"Well, we don't need them, son of Hermes." Poseidon scoffed.
"Dang. Clarisse? Any thoughts?" Connor asked the daughter of Ares.
Clarisse, however, can't seem to get over what happened. Chris became her fiance fifteen years ago, until he was killed during a quest issued by Marcus (who mistook two drakons for a mere pack of telkhines). She couldn't hurt him because her dad was fawning over the three jerks. Clarisse started working out, and lost some weight, making her a slim, sexy, and still strong fighter (In other words, look at the movie version of Clarisse portrayed by Leven Rambin). She misses the three, especially Percy. However, her proud and confident side was almost gone.
"Okay, never mind." Katie muttered.
"We still have me! And Marcus and Annabeth." Zack snorted with pride.
Right on cue, a portal opened in the middle of the throne room. Walking out of it are Calamity, Shadeslayer, Lunar, Nightlady, Shadow, Daybreak, and Lawbringer.
"Heyo, everyone." the son of Jyggalag greeted. Marcus was outraged.
"How dare you and your weakling posse come back here! And those three people you brought with look like s***!" he mocked. Calamity instantly shouted:
"Iiz Slen Nus!"
A blast of ice struck the egotistic seaspawn and temporarily froze him in place.
"Do not insult my sister and her friends." Shadeslayer growled.
"How dare you, Perseus!" Poseidon bellowed, aiming his trident.
"Calm down, Barnacle Brain!" Athena protested. "Do you want us to win against Kronos or not?"
"We don't need them, Athena!" the sea god yelled back.
"If Kronos goes down quicker, we can all do our regular duties quicker!"
Poseidon gave a grunt of frustration before sitting down on his throne.
"Who's the three you guys brought with? Mode idiots?" Will asked. Shadow glared at him with hatred.
"Extra help." Lunar explained. Shadow, Daybreak, and Lawbringer stepped forward.
"I am Shadow, son of Nocturnal, Daedric Goddess of Stealth, Shadows, and Secrecy. My real name..." he took off his hood and mask, shocking everyone. "-is Luke Castellan, son of Hermes."
"He's a traitor!" Zack yelled, pointing his sword at him. All the traitors present did so. Clarisse could only look in horror, which was a first for her, while the Stolls, Katie, and Jake could only watch.
"What's wrong, Luke? Little lost for words? You really thought killing yourself to defeat Kronos will let you off?" Annabeth sneered. The irritated son of Nocturnal turned invisible and in a flash, stole Zack's sword and threw it on the ground. He then reappeared where he stood a while ago.
"Now who's a little lost for words?" he spat. Daybreak stepped forward.
"I am Daybreak, daughter of Meridia, my real identity..." she then took off her helmet, shocking Hades. "-is Bianca di Angelo, daughter of Hades."
"BIANCA?!" the underworld god yelled. Bianca gave him a deadly glare.
"You don't seem hurt, Zombie Fanboy." she hissed.
"You dare insult my father?! Die, fool!" Zack yelled. He summoned a group of zombies on Bianca, only for her to cast Bane of the Undead, which forced them to flee. Nico drew Dawnbreaker and sent them back to the Underworld.
"F*** your pathetic Earthly necromancy. How could you turn your back on Nico because of that arrogant son of a b****?!" Bianca screamed, pointing at Zack. Most of the Olympians gave her glares. Lastly, Lawbringer.
"I am Lawbringer, daughter of Jyggalag. My true identity..." she took off her cowl and mask. "-is Zoe Nightshade, daughter of Atlas."
"DEMITITAN! KILL HER!" Marcus ordered as he stormed over at Zoe with a sword.
"Iiz!" Calamity shouted. Even the one-word Ice Form was enough to freeze a minor god.
"Don't even try to hurt my sister." he growled.
"Slash my girlfriend." Shadow spat.
"You two are dating?" Artemis questioned.
"Yes, Milady. I'm not a Hunter anymore, right?" the daughter of Jyggalag replied. The moon goddess simply nodded in nervousness.
"Gah. Whatever. Meeting adjourned." Zeus announced glumly. Everyone started walking out of the throne room, most of them giving glares at the demidaedra. Hera and Artemis approached them.
"I'm glad you still decided to aid us after the insults." Hera said.
"No prob, Lady Hera." Shadeslayer replied. Artemis suddenly patted Calamity on his shoulder.
"Hey, Percy, I think you have to talk to her." she said, pointing at Clarisse, who was still on her chair, whimpering a little.
"That's Clarisse?" Lunar asked.
"She's looking fit." Shadow said.
"And slim." Shadeslayer added.
"Just go talk to her, will you." Artemis told the son of Jyggalag.
"What about Chris?" Calamity asked.
"Perseus, Chris Rodriguez was killed by two drakons when he thought it was a small pack of telkhines." Artemis replied. This shocked the demidaedra.
"Who told him that they were telkhines?" Lawbringer asked.
"No one really knew that they were actually drakons but, it was the Marcus boy."
Calamity POV
Chris is dead? No, why would this happen? Clarisse is all alone without him. The nerve of Marcus to just send him on a quest without any knowledge of what he's up against! I slowly approached Clarisse and crouched so that my face was in front of hers.
"Hey, Clarisse." I greeted. She slowly looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"P...Percy?...Is that...really, you?" she asked, stuttering and crying.
"Aye, War Girl. It's me."
I took off my Daedric Helmet. I didn't change much aside from the deathly recoloring of my sea green eyes, which became the "eyes of poison green death" according to Nico. Anyway, I grabbed Clarisse's chin and made her see me eye to eye. Then, she just planted her lips on mine.
Nightlady POV
Huh, that's a start. Thalia's, Nico's, and Luke's jaws dropped. I may not know these people much but, this is gonna be one hell of a ride.
