Chapter Nine:

Percy's POV

'Percy!' Connor and Travis yelled as they sprinted to me and almost broke my spine giving me a bear hug.

'Ouch, guys calm down I'm dying here!' I yelped trying to pull the two away from me.

Everyone started laughing, I would have been angry but then I heard Artemis laughing too and I just shrugged it off.

'Yeah yeah, laugh it off guys. Meanies' I mumbled after Travis and Connor pulled away from me.

I sighed only to grumble when Clarisse and Leo came up to me, punched me and pulled me into another hug.

'Percy we are so sorry for everything!' They both said while everyone else nodded in agreement.

'Relax people, I forgave you all a while ago' I said smiling.

They all sighed in relief. 'Thanks Percy. I promise I won't let it happen again' Clarisse said seriously.

I nodded. 'Hey where is Nico? We all thought he left with you' Leo asked.

I laughed rather loudly. 'Dude me and Nico have been in camp for quite a while' I take after calming down a bit.

They looked at me confused so I sighed and snapped my fingers, changing my appearance to Jared. Nobody gasped in shock because they all figured that out, but then they finally grew a brain and turned around to face Mason.

'Nico?' Travis asked.

Nico glared at me before snapping his fingers and changing back to Nico. 'Yup it's me. Can't believe you guys didn't notice who we were' He said laughing.

We all laughed until Clarisse broke the happy moment. 'Hey what were you doing making out with Artemis?!' She asked making everyone look at me and Artemis.

I felt myself blush a deep crimson and Artemis wasn't any different. 'Um, well uh, I'd rather not talk about it' I mumbled as I played with my hands.

Everyone's eyes widened. 'You two are together?!' Nico asked.

'Dude how do you get a Maiden Goddess to frickin like you??' Travis asked.

I laughed lightly. 'Well by being me obviously. That and holding up the sky for Artemis won me some points too, right Arty?' I asked turning to Artemis who was blushing furiously.

She glared at me when I called her Arty. 'I'm not Arty! And yes it did' She replied smiling at me.

I grinned. 'Well now that you guys found out, I gotta kill you all!' I said seriously.

Clarisse snorted. 'Yeah right, like you can take us on' She said laughing.

I glared playfully at her. I snapped my finger and my power rolled off of me in waves as my appearance changed back to my normal God form. Clarisse looked at me up and down, her face turning red while everyone else was shocked.

'Dude, I didn't know you were a God! How did that happen?' Connor and Travis asked at the same time.

I smiled. 'Long story. I'd rather not tell it. Ask Nico if you are really interested. He is a God too by the way' I said grinning as Nico glared at me angrily.

'Dude why did you have to give me away!?' Nico complained.

I just laughed. 'Because your reaction is always funny' I replied grinning.

Nico rolled his eyes. 'Whatever' He mumbled.

We all just laughed. 'So you and Nico are Gods now?' Clarisse asked.

I nodded. 'Yup, I am God of Tides, Currents, Master of all Weapons, Creation and destruction, Heroes, Loyalty, All Elements and Vengeance' I stated rather proudly.

'And I am the God of Shadows, Nightmares, Darkness and Eternal Punishment' Nico said looking as proudly as me.

I coughed. 'You are forgetting something' I said giving him an evil smile.

Nico frowned. 'No I'm not' He said confused.

I sighed. 'You forgot to say you are my sidekick!' I wined.

Everyone laughed as Nico frowned. 'I'm you're awesome super badass sidekick! Not just a sidekick' Nico grumbled.

I laughed even harder, soon everyone was on the ground rolling around. Even Artemis was laughing.

Third Person POV

Everyone sat around Percy as he told everyone what he went through and how he was Jared Price the entire time. The Stolls thought it was genius while Clarisse was angry that Percy never revealed himself to her. Eventually she got over it.

'So what should we do now?' Leo asked.

Percy shrugged. 'I wanna build myself a Palace since I'm a God and all. Problem is I don't know where to build it at' Percy said crossing his arms.

For a moment, everyone had thoughtful frowns on their faces when Malcolm looked up excited.

'We can make your Palace in Alaska! The Olympians don't have power there! We can also make it in Antarctica or Canada' Malcolm suggested.

Percy looked at him excitedly. 'Dude why don't we do a Palace on all 3 places!' Percy asked jumping up and down like a kid who just ate a bag of candy.

Artemis and Nico were rolling their eyes at Percy's childish behavior. Clarisse and Drew were just looking annoyed while Malcolm was looking excited.

'Please let me design your Palaces! I want to outdo Annabeth since she was always the one that designed stuff' Malcolm asked excitedly.

Percy shrugged. 'Sure thing man, let's go!' Percy said and flashed everyone to Alaska.

'Ok let's start in Alaska, then we make another Palace in Canada, then the last one in Antarctica!' Percy said.

Leo then raised his hand. 'Um, who's going to build the damn palace? We will need dozens of Hephaestus kids to build even half of it!' Leo asked.

Percy glared at him playfully. 'You just have to ruin my good mood don't you' Percy asked annoyed.

Leo looked down. 'Sorry Percy' He mumbled making everyone laugh.

'He does make an excellent point however. We will need people to help build these palaces' Malcolm pointed out.

Percy sighed. 'Hey I can get Hephaestus to build the Palaces! He owes me a favor' Artemis said confidently.

Everyone glared at her. 'Nobody knows that there are new Gods Artemis, and we are in frickin Alaska! Olympians don't have power here' Malcolm said earning him a punch on his arm from Artemis.

'It was only a suggestion and Hephaestus doesn't need powers to build a darn Palace' Artemis said glaring at Malcolm.

Everyone laughed. 'Fine, call Hephaestus over but make him swear not to reveal Percy' Nico said.

Artemis rolled her eyes. 'I need Percy to take me to Olympus because I can't flash out of here' Artemis said.

'Alright. Everyone stay here, I'm going to get Hephaestus over here' Percy said as he changed his appearance into a female hunter.

Everyone started laughing. 'What?' Percy asked annoyed.

Everyone just continued to laugh. 'Percy I didn't know you were a girl!' Nico said laughing and pointing at Percy who was glaring at him.

Out of nowhere, a silver gloved punch flew at Nico's face, causing him to fly a few yards away. 'Shut up boy!' Percy shouted in a female voice.

Artemis laughed. 'You would make a decent Hunter, Percy' She said smiling.

Percy blushed as he played with his thumbs. 'Let's just go already' He mumbled as he grabbed Artemis' hand and flashed out.

The two arrived in the Throne Room and saw Zeus as angry as ever still wearing the dress and high heels. Percy and Artemis couldn't help the laughter that escaped their lips.

Zeus glared at the two. 'ITS NOT FUNNY!' Zeus thundered angrily.

Artemis just rolled her eyes. 'Anyways, Hephaestus, can I speak to you for a minute' Artemis asked looking at Hephaestus.

Everyone was shocked that Artemis was actually being nice. Apollo was staring at Percy checking her out making Percy feel uncomfortable and Aphrodite narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Artemis quickly rectified that by drawing her bow and shooting Apollo in his manhood causing him to fall off his throne clutching his manhood.

'What was that for Arty?!' Apollo wined in pain.

That just earned him another arrow to his manhood. 'Stop calling me Arty and stop looking at my Hunter like that you perverted freak!' Artemis screamed stalking out of the room with Percy and Hephaestus trailing behind her.

'So what do you need Artemis?' Hephaestus asked once we were in Artemis' Palace.

'I want to cash in that favor you owed me' Artemis turning to face Hephaestus.

Hephaestus nodded. 'Of course, what can I do for you then' He asked.

'I need you to build 3 different Palaces in 3 different locations' Artemis started.

Hephaestus looked excited but also confused. 'As much as I love to build stuff, what do you need 3 different palaces on 3 different places for?' He asked.

Artemis rolled her eyes. 'Not for me, it's for my friend here. But you need to swear on the River Styx that you will not tell anyone of the Palaces or of my friends identity' Artemis said.

Hephaestus looked at Artemis and Percy and raised an eyebrow. 'I feel like I'm breaking the law or something but ok, I swear on the River Styx I won't tell anyone about your friend's identity or reveal the location of the 3 palaces or even mention the palaces to anyone' Hephaestus swore. In the distance, thunder rumbled signaling the sealed oath.

Percy grinned and snapped his fingers, changing back to his godly form. Hephaestus' eyes bulged wide open, and his mouth may or may not have hit the ground.

'Pe-Percy?' He stuttered.

Percy nodded. 'Yup, now can you build me those Palaces please?' Percy asked.

Hephaestus just nodded absentmindedly. Percy's grin widened if at all possible as he flashed Hephaestus, Artemis and himself back to Alaska.

'Hey guys! I brought Hephaestus' Percy cheered.

'It's about time! We've been here waiting since forever!' Nico wined.

Percy rolled his eyes and Artemis just laughed. 'He's just annoyed that Apollo was checking him out' Artemis said trying and failing to contain her laughter.

Everyone gave Artemis and Percy weird looks. 'Apollo was checking you out? Dude what the hades?!' Leo asked while laughing.

Percy blushed as he shuffled his feet. 'Not my fault I looked sexy in a girl form' He mumbled softly but unfortunately everyone heard him and started laughing.

'The funny part was when Artemis shot Apollo TWICE in his manhood!' Hephaestus piped in, making everyone laugh even harder while the boys shuddered, their hands instinctively going to their manhood.

'That must have hurt' Nico said looking at Artemis cautiously.

Artemis laughed. 'He deserved it, who knows how many girls he has slept with today' Artemis growled.

'So Hephaestus, I'd like my Palace over there by the lake' Percy said pointing to the spot.
