Who Said Cats Aren't Good Pets?
While Zoe had been getting her mission from Chaos, Percy had been eavesdropping on them. One thing was for sure. He was not letting Zoe go into the real world again by herself.
Though the problem was when Chaos snapped his fingers and she vanished.
"Percy I know your there," Chaos called.
Percy jumped out of his hiding spot which was the ceiling and landed on the ground iron man style.
"How do you always know,"Percy complained? "Creator of everything remember."
"Whatever," Percy grumbled. "Anyway I need you to follow Zoe for her first mission and make sure she doesn't die. Again please," Chaos asked in his impersonation of Aphrodite.
"Okay but, I need something from you first," Percy replied with a smirk tugging at his lips. Chaos nodded ready to do whatever it was that his young student wanted. "I want you to get me my-."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zoe being followed by Percy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Zoe couldn't have been happier. First she was allowed on her first mission by herself and second she was protecting her old family even if they didn't know who she truly was. Yet.
Chaos had dropped her off in the middle of a forest that she did not recognize which was weird because she knew all of the planet's forest unless this was a man-made one, in which case would explain everything. She spent hours looking around this unknown landscape until she came upon a clearing.
There she saw young women in silver parkas using bows and hunting knives to kill off any monster in site. Instead of staring Zoe immediately set to work by pulling out her black foot long hunting knives out of their sheaths and charging into battle.
An empousa swung its trident at her only for it to be snapped in half by her indestructible knife. Staring in shock at its broken weapon for a second before looking up to find the unknown opponent had already killed three of its fellow monsters before it too was brought down and sent to the hellhole it crawled out of.
To the Hunters of Artemis, Zoe Nightshade was a blur of black as she struck down the enemy. Artemis was in the trees launching arrows,faster than the mortal eye could see. Artemis could tell that this was Nightblades companion, and that she was a very skilled warrior.
Then her thoughts drifted to where could he possibly be. Wouldn't he have come with her and helped defeat this monster army? Why would he just leave his friend to fend for herself? Though from the looks of it she could definitely take care of these pathetic monsters.
That's when it happened. The scream. A stupid hydra had bitten the woman on the leg, causing her to fall on the wet, green, grass. As its venom slowly seeped into her body, she began to shake uncontrollably.
The goddess of the Moon knew that there was no chance of helping the mystery woman, as her and the hunters were still busy fighting off the enemy, who's ranks were slowly being diminished. As Artemis ran to help their saviour, an explosion shook the earth to its very core.
Turning with her bow drawn and aimed at the place where the earthquake started, only to find a man with a very pissed off aura. The water from the lake rose to heights of fifty feet, Shadows started appearing and wrapping around the remaining monsters, and Lightning streaked the sky as thunder boomed. The only visible part of the man's face was his mouth, that held a wicked grin.
"Now all of you monsters shall die slowly and painfully," he growled. Then a roar was heard to his left and out came the massive form of the Nemean Lion. She was about to shout for him to watch out but, the beast just ran past him and tore a dracnea apart with its massive jaws.
With the combined help of the giant cat and its master, the monsters were quickly dispatched and the hunters were attending to each others wounds. Artemis on the other hand was walking to the man with the monster pet.
"You dare walk into my camp after what you did," she shouted. The hunters had heard the commotion and immediately took their place by their mistress side.
"It looked like you could use some help. Those monsters were kicking your ass and by the looks of things, you would have all been killed with the exception of Artemis."
The hunters already didn't like him, but he was just adding more fire wood to the fire. "You think we needed your help you stupid boy," Phoebe snarled.
"We didn't need your help you coward. You are to scared to even show your face, you pathetic excuse for a person."
Her first mistake was even walking over to the man, her second was insulting him. The Nemean Lion bounded out of the woods and pounced on her like she was his treat. "Rex heel!"
Instantly he was off of the Hunter and sitting by his master's side, getting scratched behind his ear. "Good boy."
"Now I'm here for my friend and then I will leave. The only reason I don't kill you now is because Artemis has taken the burden of serving me whenever I need her and because you were once the sisters of my cousin."With that he grabbed his friend and flashed away, back to the healing center on Chaos realm.
"Chaos," Percy shouted as he entered the healing center. "What are you doing back here, your supp-," He suddenly stopped when he saw what lied in his hands. "Hurry, put her on the table over here." After Zoe had been put on the table, Chaos quickly kicked Percy out of the room.
He knew it would be a while before she would be up and about, so he decided that he better go back and get Rex from the hunters before they tried something stupid like trying to send him back to Tartarus.
When he got there, he couldn't help but laugh at the site before him. A few hunters were trying to shoot him in the mouth while Artemis was holding him down with her godly strength and yet she was still being tossed around like a rag doll.
"Rex stop playing with these girls. I don't think they are having a good time with your presence," Nightblade (Percy) laughed as the goddess of the Moon was thrown across their camp.
Rex bounded away from the hunters and to his master's side. "Artemis I think you just got beat by a male yet again."
A deep growling noise came from inside her throat as she charged, both of her hunting knives drawn, ready to skin this infuriating immortal.
When she was within three feet, Nightblade jumped up and roundhouse kicked her in the chest sending her flying back into her tent.
"Arty you can now go and take a nap now."As he turned forwards the hunters an arrow pierced his left shoulder, letting ichor flow freely down his chest. The hunters had triumphant smirks on their faces until he just smiled evily and pulled the arrow out, not making a sound the whole time.
"Is that all you have or do I have to call every monster on the planet here so I can have some sort of challenge?"
The hunters couldn't believe that this man was being so disrespectful and had the power to beat their mistress without using a bit of power. "Lets go Rex, we have to get to Camp Jupiter so we can make an impression that will last forever."
If giant, indestructible, cats could smile then that's exactly what Rex did when his tongue started to hang from his mouth as his mouth stretched to a somewhat of a smile. Before the hunters could protest, both the man and giant beast disappeared in a bright flash of lightning.
No one knew what to do since their leader had been knocked unconscious. So they did what anybody would do if they were attacked. They were going to track down this mysterious man and since he had already told them where he was going, it wasn't going to be too hard to find him. Off to the Roman camp then.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Badass entrance>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Romans were having an okay day. Small monster attacks took place every few weeks. Nothing they couldn't handle though. At least that was until the army of about a thousand showed up to try and destroy them. Their praetor Reyna, was going to make sure each and every Roman went to Elysium in Plutos domain. They would all go down in history.
The hope coming from these proud Romans was very small, almost dwindling on non existent. Leading the enemy army was non other than Saturn himself.
"Demigods. I am Saturn, the Titan Lord of Time and am here to take over your little camp." Thunder boomed at his words and for a moment fear spread through Saturn's heart. It was against the ancient laws for Zeus to come down here and help and The Titan Lord knew that, but it still didn't stop him from worrying about it.
After a moment of silence he began again. "Surrender and I promise you a quick death or you can fight until you are all dead beneath my feet". Again thunder boomed, but unlike before a bolt of lightning quickly followed, striking the ground a few yards in front of the Titan Lord. A lone figure draped in black armour and cape, stood with a sword in one hand and shield in the other.
"Leave or I will let my cat feast on your flesh today Saturn," the figure bellowed. "Who the fuck are you," Saturn(Kronos Roman name) snarled.
The man smirked and said "your worst fucking nightmare." As his scythe appeared, Saturn was tackled to the ground by Rex. "I warned you Titan. Now you will watch as your body is ripped apart by the powerful Nemean Lion!"
Rex dragged his meal into a shadow, where Nightblade used his powers to transport them to the Olympian throne room. He knew they were watching so he decided to send them a surprise present.
The monsters had no chance of winning, yet they tried anyway. Nightblade had his sword and shield out, along with his armour and cape. Running forward, he ducked underneath the slash of a telkhine and came up decapitating an empousa. A hellhound tried to bite into his arm, but it's teeth broke when they came into contact with his armoured arm.
The beast howled in pain before it was silenced by the sword that slid across its throat. Nightblade fought for another ten minutes before he noticed the Roman army fighting alongside him. He also noticed Reyna fighting just to his left. Deciding he might have little fun messing with her, he made his way next to her.
"Praetor Reyna." He said respectively once he was fighting alongside her. "I don't know how you know my name or what yours is, but for now I'm glad your here and are kicking ass alongside us," she said.
He let out a small chuckle as he cut the arm off of a cyclops. "Well I was once apart of this amazing place so I would love to continue protecting my old home." She looked at him with wide eyes. "You are a demigod," she asked.
"Yes and we used to know each other, but that was a while ago. I will explain when we are done with this shit."
It wasn't long before the enemy had been wiped out. Luckily for the Romans there were no deaths or major injuries, but that was a small army compared to the one they would have to fight in the near future.
"Reyna, I would like to speak with you privately if you don't mind." She nodded before saying "of course follow me," and walking back forwards the city.
