Chappie 11: jk I mean 9
(AN: In the original the author's note said that the iris message would be in bold, I changed it Italics)
"Are you ready?" Artemis asked her hunters as she prepared to flash to Olympus.
"Yeah, mom" Zoe replied with a smirk as Percy said, "You all know what needs to happen. I will only have one shot to kill Hercules and make him pay for what he did to my brother's wife. So keep the Olympians and the seven occupied while I do my job. Understood?"
"Sir yes Sir" most of the hunters mocked with a salute, as if they were going to carry off the plan now, which both Perseus and Zoe having mysteriously disappeared again, but only the hunt and both Artemis's noticed.
The hunters nodded and Artemis said, "Be careful, Percy, and return safely"
Percy nodded before he kissed his beloved and when they separated, Artemis flashed them into her palace and the hunters followed their patron to the throne room where Zeus said, "Where is your child Artemis? and your lover?"
"They are safe" Arty replied, with a smirk
"Safe," Artemis replied with her arms crossed
"IRIS!" Zeus thundered
"HAHAHAHA Zeus thundered" Percy, Thalia, the Stolls, Apollo, and Hermes all laughed out rolling on the ground.
as a misty screen appeared. "Show us Artemis's child and lover, and make it so that we can hear them, but they can't hear us"
As Clarisse read, an Iris message appeared showing the two sneaking around on some Island in the mortal world. "Where are they? Why are they not here" Zeus thundered, upset that the sea spawn and his daughter are not on Olympus anymore.
Thalia and the rest of the hunters expected it to show Zoe watching TV in her mom's palace, but instead it showed Zoe in a tree somewhere on Olympus watching Hercules being surrounded by a small group of bodyguards.
"Where's dad?" They heard her ask as she glanced up at a building before looking at a bench and everyone saw, his eyes being shadowed by the hood, with two flintlock pistols on the sides, a bastard sword that had a steel and gold blade and a steel and bronze bladed dagger. "There he is"
"What's his name" Athena asked her sister, "Why does he have weapons on his person? Why is he looking at Hercules? and Why is you child following it's father"
"Do you really want to know the answers to that now sister" Arty asked, as many were watching the father and daughter duo from another universe sneaking up on a camp site, which looked like it was made for one.
"In order?" Artemis asked as her sister nodded, "He's the hero of Olympus, He's an assassin, he's doing his job, and Zoe wanted to help her father out by killing the guards"
The Olympians were silent until dear old Hestia said, "It's good to see that my favorite Nephew is doing something about the bastard who forced himself upon my favorite Roman. I would've killed him myself, but luckily, my second favorite nephew told me that he hired someone else to do it"
"what about me, Aunt Vesta, am I not your favorite" Jason asked, which got a few light chuckles from Clarisse, and those who were looking over her shoulder to see the words in the book.
"I can't believe my other self betrays me like this, and now I have to tell everyone who my favorite nephew is" Hestia exasperated
"Don't forget about favorite niece" Thalia and Hazel said, only to get a sigh from the goddess
"Fine, Percy is my favorite nephew closely followed by Nico, and Artemis is my favorite Niece" Hestia said quickly, upset that she had to release the name of her favorites
"What about your grand nieces and nephews" Malcolm asked
"Will Solace" Hestia said, only to be cut off by a happy Will hugging her, which took her by surprise, "and Annabeth chase, now please no more asking me who I favor" Hestia said glumly because she didn't want to in the first place, as she could tell that her brothers wanted to know who's the favorite sibling.
"But what about me, Aunt Vesta" Jason asked knowing who she was talking about, "Why am I not your favorite"?
Hestia just gave the son of Jupiter a look that clearly said think about it. and Jason was quiet for a moment before conceding and saying, "good point"
"I wonder what that look said" Jason mumbled
They all then turned back to the Iris message and saw that Zoe and her father had followed the god of Strength and his guards back to his palace and Zoe climbed up the palace walls and onto the roof where she could hear Hercules bragging about how 'Reyna was the best one yet' and how 'he's going to take Artemis next' Of course, Artemis Hestia, Poseidon, and Apollo could all read lips and lets just say that they're rooting for Percy.
"You were rooting against my son" Zeus thundered again
"Your son is a rapist who should have never have gained godhood, but because you would have thrown one of your toddler fits, if we didn't agree, we agreed instead of having to deal with you" Hera said angry that her Husband was still considering marrying Artemis off to him, which would just make her grow in more hatred towards men. Now, if it was Percy or someone comparable to him, then she would consider forcing her to marry, but Zeus wasn't considering Percy or someone similar to his character.
"What are they saying?" Percy asked his daughter whom he snuck up on from behind.
"How he had fun with Reyna and mom is next," Zoe replied not even a bit surprised that her father snuck up on her from behind her eyes glowing sea green and silver at the same time. "I can't wait till that bastard is dead"
"Yeah neither can us" nearly all of the demigods, and about half the gods said, as they noticed a large humanoid figure approaching the campsite in their Iris message.
"Come on," Percy told his daughter, "I need you to kill the guards so that I won't be interrupted. Alright?"
Zoe nodded before jumping from the roof and landing on a thick tree branch that easily held her weight
"Iris" Artemis said, "Could you please put it in Zoe's perspective for us?"
The screen then turned an odd shade of blue and 10 or so red figures appeared and Artemis said, "Thank you"
"what is this?" Athena asked
"Eagle vision" the twin deities replied in unison
"How do you know that?" Athena asked Apollo
"God of knowledge" Apollo replied with a smirk, "Everyone and everything revolves around the sun, so I know everything about everyone and everything"
"That's a terrifying thought" the seven, minus Leo who was MIA after the defeat of Gaia, said
"Well I'm not the god of knowledge here, though I would like that domain" Apollo said
"So what does it do" Annabeth asked
"It allows an assassin to know who an ally, an enemy, or where an object or building of interest is, a wood area, or a city," Artemis replied not taking her eyes of the projection as she watched her daughter use a rope dart to hang one of the guards from a branch killing the partial immortal demigod.
"I want to see if we can make one of those" one of the Hephaestus kids said.
"Cool I'll start working on the blue print's then" one of Athena's children replied, and they began plotting on how to make the weapon.
"don't you think hanging monsters is a bit cruel" Aphrodite said
"nope" all the demigods replied, knowing if the monsters could they would do the same to them
"One down, 19 to go," They heard Zoe say, as she began to jump from branch to branch with more grace than a hunter "I wonder how dad is doing..."
"Hopefully just fine" Sally said
The project switched to Percy who jumped down from the roof and killed two guards with his sword and dagger, before he climbed back up the wall and out of sight before running across the roof and then jumping down onto another two guards killing them instantly as his sword and dagger combination pierced their necks.
"Too easy," Percy said before he noticed a red cross hanging off their necks and he growled out "Templars ...Should've known that Hercules was a templar"
"what's with this templar assassin thing"Athena asked
"it's a difference of ideal of how the world should be left to govern. The assassins believe that people should be free to do there own actions and be responsible for them thus creating peace, where as the templars want to control the world through order by any means necessary, especially if it means the loss of those freedoms" Arty explained, which only got her father thinking if he were to get the olympians to once again take control over the mortal world if he could be the one in control of everyone.
He then climb back onto the roof and soon after the assassin jumped down onto a balcony and snuck inside, activating his own eagle vision and seeing only a couple of men inside.
The screen then changed to Zoe and saw that she had killed five more guards with the help of a single dart.
" can we get some of those darts" The Ares children and Stolls asked
"No" Arty said rather quickly, as she didn't even know the poison that laced those darts, nevertheless how they did what they did.
"Gotta love the berserk dart" Zoe said as she watched the guards kill each other, before the one shot with the dart fell down dead,
"I really want some of those darts" Clarisse said, thinking about all the uses she would have with them, and many of the campers, even her own siblings, began to get a terrified look.
"I might as well use my darts for now. I'm more like my mom, stealthy as a jaguar"
"Which is a good thing" both Artemis said, as everyone was beginning to notice that on their Iris message that it was Hercules whom just entered the camp, that the assassins were at.
Artemis smiled proudly and said, "This is my family, father, do you really want to tear them apart from me? Only for you to suffer their wrath?"
"Yes" Zeus said, ignoring the looks of everyone in the room clearly asking if he has a death wish.
"Your daughter never should have been born, Artemis" Hera said to her husband's bastard child, "She's a forbidden child"
"Though I agree with my other self, she could have been nicer about it" Hera said
"You are also forgetting that all the big three children beside Nico and Hazel, are also forbidden children" Thals stated to the queen
"Yeah it probably would have went better if other me recognized that wouldn't" Hera asked
"Definitely" Arty and Thals replied, causing the goddess to sigh and hope that Perseus wouldn't be coming after her anytime soon.
"You touch her, sister and I will take all hope from Olympus" Hestia threatened surprising everyone, "This is my favorite's child after all, and I want to get to know her"
"That would be bad sister" Hera stated
"I would do it if you threatened the family I care about, as you all would be undeserving" Hestia stated simply as if she already had made plans to take away all hope from Olympus.
Hera nodded and they all turned back to the mist, not wanting to miss the show.
As Percy snuck around the palace, he killed guard after guarded, leaving bodies where ever he goes and soon, he found himself in Hercules's study and began to comb through his things when he heard a gun click behind him and Hercules says, "Stop what you're doing assassin, and take off the hood, so that I can see whose face I'm going to shoot at"
"Percy," Artemis said, very worried now, "Please be safe, Percy, Please"
"He's going to die at the hands of my father" A son of Hercules said.
"No I'm not" Percy said, "Heracles is a bitch, and I would never die to him, even in old age"
"No he isn't" Nico said an evil smile on his face that would make his grandfather proud,
"You don't want to see that smile, because that is an understatement" Thals said and shivered, "if anything it would make him jealous", which only got both Nico's to smirk at the description.
"Percy always keeps to his oaths...and he always makes sure the deed is done"
"Where are you demigods, I know you're here" Hercules shouted through the Iris message, but the two assassins remained silent, watching their target, go mad from not being able to find them hidden in the trees.
"Do any of you know who hired him" Athena asked
Nico's smile, if it was possible, grew even more evil
"And that's the smile that would make Gaia and her second husband Jealous" Thals said, adding to the severity of which the Nico's evil smile can reach.
as he said, "That would be me, Wisdom goddess, Hercules raped my wife and I hired the best assassin I know to kill the bastard"
"Nico and Nicholas, if that ever happened all you need do is ask, and I would come help exact revenge" Percy and Thalia said, in support of their cousin
"You're married to Reyna?!" everyone who didn't know shouted, this included the councilors of CHB except for Jason, Piper, and Thalia, "Since when"
"Since like 12 years ago," Nico said, before Artemis said, "Quiet they're talking right now"
"-ay for what you did to Reyna, Hercules, and I will make sure that you die for good" Percy said, his hood off and sea green eyes narrowed
"Who hired you" Hercules asked the gun still in Percy's face
"Didn't we just go over this" the Stolls asked only to get smacked by the Katie and Miranda
"Nico DiAngelo," Percy replied as Hercules raised an eyebrow and said, "That weakling? I should've known he'd try something after I enjoyed his tight little wife"
"You're lucky he hired someone or else I would have killed you" Hestia stated, in an unusual happy manner considering the subject.
Percy's eyes turned hurricane right when Hercules finished speaking, and before the son of Poseidon was about to speak, Hercules said, "You know that you shouldn't have come alone, Perseus Jackson, that was a bad idea on your part. Now you will die all alone in your world"
"Well he's in for one hades of a surprise" some of the demigods said, only to begin ignoring Hades, complaining about the use of his name as a curse. As the perfect distraction was Hercules destroying his campsite trying to find the two assassins, stalking him, enjoying how easy it was to make the god go mad.
Percy frowned and held up two fingers and said, "1, it's Percy Jackson not Perseus Jackson, the only ones allowed to call me Perseus are Artemis, my mom, my dad, and Paul"
That surprised everyone
"And what's the other" Hercules asked
"Who ever said I came alone?" Percy asked his target as a tomahawk came flying from behind and hit his back "I have a partner this time around, Hercules, and she's my daughter"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's shocked about that" some of the demigods said
Hercules turned around to shoot Zoe, but before he could fire Percy lodged his bastard sword into the god's chest and Hercules faded into the void but not before hearing Percy say, "Repose en paix"
"He killed my son" Zeus shouted, as everyone watching their Iris message just saw Perseus and Zoe jump down from their respective trees killing the god of strength on their way down with their respective blades, repeating the same words from the book, as the god faded.
"You did good not jumping the gun Zo" Perseus complimented his daughter as the Iris message began to fade
The Iris message then vanished and Nico said, with a dangerously sweet smile, "The job's been completed... The money will be in his bank account in a few hours"
"But he said you don't have to pay him, or well me" Percy said to Nicholas
"I was willing to pay the price of what I thought is worthy, for murdering the bastard" Nicholas said, not caring
"My son is not a bastard" Zeus said angry that everyone is calling his favorite son, a bastard and that he technically just lost him twice.
"He's not my son and I'm your wife, so by definition he's a bastard child of yours" Hera said
"My son is not a bastard and he's the greatest hero to ever exist" Zeus thundered
"Bullshit, nearly everyone in this hall is a greater hero than him" Poseidon said, "my son and Athena's daughter more so than the others" Which got of head nods, and a reluctant one from Athena as she didn't want to agree with the sea scum, that is her uncle.
"Oh will you all just start fighting again" Clarisse said egging them on, as both the fight from the book and the iris message, left her wanting to see more of a fight
"No they won't fight" Hestia said threateningly, "and Poseidon is right, if it wasn't for your interference, he would have never caught Artemis's hind, and he didn't even do the other labors instead he just took credit for them. I remember it took the local army to and the entirety of Heracles's crew to take down the nemean lion the first time" closing the matter, though Zeus was mad that the truth of Heracles's deeds were beginning to leak out to the demigods.
Somewhere during all of this Travis got his hands on the book, only for it to be snatched away by Katie, who waited till everyone was ready to continue the reading.
