Prologue
Several cars raced by as blurs in the midday sun and the camera flashes to the lead racer, his car was a blue color, with three prongs at the front, like a trident, a red trident on the sides, two wings in the back. On his face was a confident smirk that clearly read: Catch me if you can. This driver is named Percy Jackson the Champion of the Mythos 500.
"I'm going to win this one, Jackson!" a racer shouted into a mic as Percy looked to his right.
"Yeah," Percy replied. "And then you'll become the Harem King, Hyoudou. If I were you, I wouldn't dream about things that are impossible. See ya at the finish line!"
Percy then punched it and he sped up and, as his name suggests, he destroyed the sound barrier as the wind pressure built up around him and a large boom sounded right behind him as the Son of Poseidon crossed the finish line and, as time seemed to slow down, he did a thumbs up towards the camera before coming to a successful stop with his tires steaming.
Time skip; Back home
"Another race, another win," Percy said as he drove up to his mom's place.
As he got out, a 13-year-old slammed into him and said, "I saw your race, big brother, you were awesome!"
Percy chuckled and said, "Thanks, sis. How's mom doing?"
"She misses you," Percy's sister replied.
"Well, I'm here now," Percy replied as the two walked up to the front porch and the two entered the building.
Camp Half-Blood; 6 months later, 6 pm
A/N: The race will be in bold and the announcers will be in italics.
"Yes, Thalia?" Chiron asked the Heroine of Olympus as she barged right into the Big House. "What is it, Thalia?"
"It's about to start," she replied, getting Chiron to grin and say, "Then we can watch it at the Amphitheatre. Where the entire camp can watch your cousin win the championships once more."
"I'll grab the popcorn and you gather the Campers," Thalia told him as Chiron nodded and the 17-year-old Daughter of Zeus rushed to gather popcorn.
Chiron then sent a message to all cabin councilors saying to bring their cabins to the Amphitheatre to watch an unclaimed Demigod win a contest.
"Now that everyone is here," Chiron said, stepping up to the front. "We can begin. Iris, I ask that you show us the big race."
"Okay Chiron," a woman's voice echoed throughout the Amphitheatre. "Enjoy!"
"Greetings race fans!" Azazel said a big smile on his face. "We are live here today at the Mythos 500. I'm your host, Azazel the Leader of the Fallen Angel Faction and this is my fellow angel Michael. Now Michael, what are your thoughts on the racers that are expected to win today?"
"Well, Azazel," Michael began as pictures of three different racers appeared on the screen. "The three racers are quite famous in our world of myths and legends, especially Percy Jackson an Unclaimed Demigod from New York..."
That got everyone's attention, especially a young girl with cerulean eyes.
"He's won every race he's been involved in," Michael continued as said racer appeared on screen in front of his car, the Wave Ripper. "No one knows where this kid came from, other than he came from New York City. They don't know his ancestry, his father, nothing. I guess that's why the ladies love him. He's a mystery. Not to mention his racing skills are as great as his sword-fighting skills, if anything from what you've told me is true, Azazel."
"Hey!" Azazel said, turning to his fellow angel. "I've told you the truth! Percy Jackson killed a six-winged Fallen Angel and an S-class Stray Devil on his own! All while using a celestial bronze sword! I swear on the River of Creation that I told you the truth!"
"Anyways," Michael said, surprised, but not showing it as all of the Mythologies were watching as they spoke and a racer wearing all black with a mask on that covered his entire head in front of a black '67 Impala. "Next up is Shadow, Percy Jackson's greatest rival and the champion of the Night Race just weeks prior to today. He is the most aggressive racer I've seen in these last few races. It wouldn't surprise me if he actually made a racer go off a cliff face in this race. And lastly, is Rias Gremory's pawn, and this generation's Red Dragon Emperor, Issei Hyoudou."
Shadow's picture was then exchanged with Issei standing in front of a 2019 red mustang, as Michael said, "He is known throughout the Biblical Factions as the most perverted man alive. But he is also one of the greatest racers I have seen from all of the Biblical Factions. I can't wait to see what happens in this race."
"One of the racers has agreed to have an interview before the race begins," Azazel said with a smirk. "And it's the one and only Percy Jackson! So we will be showing you that interview right after this break."
Thalia groaned and Melissa, the Daughter of Amphitrite, said, "Why are you unhappy Thalia?"
"Because I want to see my cousin win again," Thalia groaned. "Not watch him answer a few questions."
"You know him?" Drew, a daughter of Aphrodite, asked the Heroine of Olympus. "Think you can get me a date?"
"I think she means: You think you can get me into his pants," Annabeth, the councilor of the Athena cabin, said.
"He's hot," Drew replied with a shrug.
"He's also too old for you," Annabeth replied.
"Why do you care, Wisdom Spawn?" Drew sneered. "Sad that he ain't interested in a bookworm."
"I am not a bookworm, Drew," Annabeth snarled just as the IM began again and it showed Percy Jackson wearing a jumpsuit that had a green trident on the back.
"Hello Mr. Jackson," the reporter, who's a fallen angel, said as she walked up to the Demigod. "Are you ready for your interview?"
Percy chuckled and said, "While I would like to work on my car before the race, I don't like to disappoint my fans. Even if I don't like the attention... Anyways, ask away."
The Fallen Angel smiled and said, "What do you expect from the other racers for the race that will go through the night? And do you possibly have anyone waiting for you back home?"
"I would expect for them to give it their all," Percy replied as he turned his head to his fellow racers. "Give it all they've got, that is all I want from the racers. And to answer your question, I have a little sister and a younger cousin waiting for me back home. But if you mean a girlfriend? Then no, I'm still single. Besides, most girls I meet from our world are interested in me because of my fame. Any other questions?"
"Yes, actually," the fallen angel replied. "Who got you interested in racing?"
"My father did," Percy replied leaning against his car. "When I turned 18 three years ago, my dad gave me this car and signed me up for the hardest course in his pantheon. My best lap was about 2.95 minutes, surpassing the greatest hero of the pantheon's time by a single minute. When my Uncle was told, he asked me how I had a better time than my cousin. I replied, 'I just followed my instincts.' Since then, I entered every race I possibly could. Now, here I am. About to give my all at the Mythos Grand Prix. I never imagined that my natural racing talent would lead me here when all I've ever wanted was to give my family a better life than we had three years ago. I never wanted my fame, not even once have I asked for it, but I took it in stride. Knowing that I could use it to give my family and I a better life than living in some rundown apartment."
Everyone, at home, in the stands, anywhere they could possibly be watching, was silent at his little story.
"So you know who your father is?"
Percy nodded and said, "But I'm not going to tell you. Because you'll find out after the race. He's promised me that I'll be claimed as his son in front of everyone in the world of Mythology. I think that's enough questions, I've got to work on my car, but I promise that I'll do an interview after this race."
The fallen angel turned to the camera as Percy went back to working on his car before saying, "You heard it here race fans! Percy Jackson is a family man first and foremost. Then a racer second. We'll see you all after the race."
A/N: If you guys want me to finish this then please say so, this is something that I've had for a while, but never could get past this part... I need some help... Anyways, just tell me what you think and if you want me to continue from there.
