Percy turned towards the flash, a figure suddenly materializing in front of him, the demigod suddenly reeled back, his trident in hand, looking at the figure in front of him with wide eyes. Percy couldn't believe it, Percy was gobsmacked. Percy caught a small whiff of a sea breeze as the figure fully materialized in front of him, it was Poseidon, God of the seas, lord of the horses, one of the big three. Poseidon shook his head turning towards Percy with a bored look, he suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the demigod with shock.

"Percy? Is that you?" Poseidon asked with wide eyes, looking at the demigod as if he was an illusion. Percy couldn't take this and bolted right out of the city, Poseidon snapped out of his senses and followed the demigod through the bridges and out of the city, Percy panted turning behind him seeing a sea God still chasing his tail. Percy stopped, turning towards his ex father with a serious look.

"Percy, I can't believe you're alive." Poseidon said with a big grin, Percy turned towards Poseidon, with a deadly serious expression.

"Don't step anywhere near me Poseidon." Percy said in a low voice.

"I'm very sorry Percy, for all that I have done, I didn't mean to say all of those mean things to you, you must understand that I would never do that to you." Poseidon said with a pleading look.

"Stop playing games Poseidon, I know what you did, I would never forgive you for what you have done." Percy said staring Poseidon right at the eye.

"You must understand, I was influenced by a strange magic, it made me say all of those, words to you son." Poseidon said.

"Don't lie, I know what that magic does, it only brings out what people think, it never actually controls you." Percy said with a glare, it was the first time Percy was angry to this extent.

"Son I'm sor-." Poseidon was suddenly cut of by the demigod.

"Don't call me son, I'm not your son, you're not my father, stop living in the past." Percy said with a growl.

"Stop following me, or you will regret it." Percy said in a deathly serious tone. Poseidon looked down in the ground in shame.

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Poseidon said in a low voice.

"Zeus commanded me to arrest the person behind the sudden tremor." Poseidon explained.

"Since we still don't know who did it, you're the only witness we have, so I'm afraid I have to bring you with me to Olympus." Poseidon said, grabbing his own trident and placing it in a offensive position. Percy raised an eyebrow, holding Hydrosiphon at his hand, still not using his own power to make the trident float.

Poseidon suddenly lunged at the demigod, doing a series of slices and thrusts. Percy dodged, avoiding each and every one of the attacks, Percy has got to admit, without him flying, it was pretty hard to dodge. Percy yelped, ducking and avoiding a sudden thrust from said sea god, Percy clutched Hydrosiphon and made a thrust towards Poseidon, the God back flipped easily avoiding the attack.

"You should've sticked with a sword, you're not that great at using a trident." Poseidon said doing dozens of slashes, Percy blocked and dodged, avoiding the attacks.

"Surrender Son, I don't want to hurt you, it will only get worse for both of us." Poseidon said, making slashes and thrusts towards the demigod. Percy dodged, avoiding most of the strikes, until the trident managed to make a medium sized gash on the demigods leg, Percy yelped, falling to the ground with a thud. Percy gritted his teeth, jumping back, albeit painfully, Poseidon clutched his trident.

"Stop this son, I don't want to hurt you any further." Poseidon said clutching his trident. Percy clutched Hydrosiphon in hand, trying to do any sort of grand escape, the demigod didn't want the gods knowing the extent of his power, he didn't want the gods to suddenly be aware of his presence in the world.

"I can overpower you Percy, I can do this the easy way, or the hard way." Poseidon said, Percy turned towards the god with a calm expression. Percy dropped Hydrosiphon in the ground, the trident clattering onto the stone, Poseidon smiled approaching the demigod, Poseidon thinking it was a surrender walked towards Percy with a small smile.

Percy suddenly moved his fingers, Hydrosiphon suddenly bolting into action, flying into the air and flying towards Poseidon, the god widened his eyes and blocked the attack. Percy floated a few feet in the air, moving his fingers in a series of gestures, Hydrosiphon following suit and attacking the god in a series of attacks. Poseidon barely managed to dodge and block the attacks.

"I can defeat you Poseidon, I'm more powerful than you now." Percy said, flicking his wrist, Hydrosiphon suddenly zooming towards the god making a small cut in his cheek.

"That isn't good, your reaction time is very bad." Percy said looking at Poseidon.

"How did you get this powerful?" Poseidon said, dodging an attack, barely avoiding Hydrosiphon.

"That's my secret." Percy said snapping his fingers, Hydrosiphon suddenly turning into dozens upon dozens of throwing knives. Percy snapped his fingers again, the knives suddenly turning towards Poseidon, ready to strike at any moment. Percy turned towards Poseidon who was standing, deathly still, afraid that the knives will suddenly zoom towards him and end his life in an instant.

"I will let you live Poseidon." Percy said in a calm voice.

"But you can't tell anyone about this encounter." Percy said.

"I promise." Poseidon said in a pant.

"Swear if on the Styx." Percy said in a deathly serious tone.

"I, Poseidon, God of the seas, swear to not speak of this encounter with anyone." Poseidon said in a panicked voice.

"Good." Percy said snapping his fingers, Hydrosiphon returning back to normal, if you considered a floating trident as normal.

"Now get out of here before I decide to change my mind." Percy said turning towards his former father. Poseidon suddenly flashed away, leaving a scent of the sea breeze in his path. Percy suddenly sighed, dropping to the ground, he didn't use much of his power, but he used a lot of his resolve to not stutter, he probably used about all of his courage in that mere encounter, the betrayal still affected him to his core.

The demigod was pretty sure that if he met any other demigods, he would return back to a stuttering mess and return to not looking people in the eye. Percy sighed in relief looking around the area, a sudden purple flash appeared beside the demigod, snapping Percy out of his senses. Asteria appeared in front of him with a raised eyebrow, confused why Percy suddenly dissapeared off into nowhere.

"Why did you run off?" Asteria asked, Percy shook his head.

"N-No need to talk about it." Percy said, his stuttering starting to return.

"Are you sure?" Asteria asked, raising an eyebrow, Percy nodded, albeit awkwardly.

"Anyway, I'm now ready to leave, so, where are we going?" Asteria asked,

"That is one thing I s-still dunno." Percy said with a small sigh.

"Don't worry, I know where they are, I can sense Vale's presence." Asteria said, Percy nodded turning towards the elemental of magic,

"Lets go." Percy said, Asteria nodded and placed a hand on his shoulder, right before they could teleport out, a sudden presence entered the area. The two elemental so, stopped what they were doing, looking around in confusion at the sudden new presence that entered the area. The two slowly went around, trying to find the person who entered, it was definitely a powerful person.

"Do you sense that?" Asteria asked raising an eyebrow, Percy nodded, still cautious as to what was actually happening. Percy suddenly stopped, the two elementals sharing a look, Percy pointed towards the clearing, covered by dozens of bushes and trees. Asteria nodded, slowly turning to take a peak at the clearing, Percy followed, poking his head out of the bush and looking at the area.

Percy suddenly widened his eyes, covering his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from gasping, there stood a figure, it's body was pure midnight black, two white dots for eyes, and ash like particles eminating from him. Asteria turned towards Percy with a raised eyebrow, clueless as to who this person was. Percy didn't answer and merely watched the figure walk around the clearing and enter a cave.

"Let's follow him, I will explain everything later." Percy said in a whisper, Asteria nodded, slowly walking towards the cave cautiously, wondering whether or not if this person was a threat. Percy held in a breath as he poked his head from the, Asteria quietly snapped his fingers, Percy's and Asteria's body, dissapearing from view, effectively shielding them and cloaking them to their sorroundings.

Percy turned towards the figure, a boy around Percy's age was chained to the wall, a few droplets of blood splattered around the cave. The figure turned towards the boy, it's ash like particles that emanated from its body starting to more frequently happen. The figure turned towards the boy, suddenly talking in a deep, demonic like voice.

"Give me your power."

----------------------

The Elementals were looking at the heap of all knocked out Olympians in a dissapointed look, as if they expected more from the gods, which was more likely true. Vale sighed turning towards the demigods, raising his hands with a raised eyebrow.

"We didn't start the battle, they did." Vale said pointing at the knocked out gods. The demigods suddenly muttered in the distance, wondering if the Elementals were a threat or nor.

"We aren't here to cause harm." Frostine said.

"We did protect you from the monster attack, the gods started the fight not us." Aidan said, the demigods murmured in agreement.

"Alright fine, but you're still not off the hook yet." Annabeth said from the demigods, acting as their voice, Vale nodded turning towards the Elementals.

"I guess that means we're away from their kill list." Vale said.

"Now let's go already, I'm getting bored." Blitz said with a small groan, Aspen sighed, slapping him upside the head.

"Shut up." Aspen said in annoyance, Azure laughed a little, turning towards the two with a small chuckle.

"Now you two better behave, now I agree with Blitz, we should probably go." Azure said, walking towards Camp Half-Blood, the rest followed, as the demigods all dispersed, returning back to their normal lives. Vale entered the border, the scent of strawberry instantly filling his nostrils, the elemental of earth turned towards the rest of the Elementals who were looking around the camp.

"Now this is where we part ways for a few hours, you have free roam of this place, just meet back here in three hours." Vale said, the rest nodded and went their separate ways. Frostine walked around the camp, looking around the dozens upon dozens of cabins that were lined in an omega pattern, some cabins for the minor gods were outside the omega lining, but otherwise, the organization was pretty out of the place.

Frostine suddenly stopped, a boy around the age of eighteen stood in front of her, a sword in hand, a smug smirk in his face.

"Hello there beautiful, would you mind if I took you out on a date?" The boy asked with a small smug smirk. Frostine rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

"Yes, I would mind." Frostine said, walking past the boy who was fuming in anger, the boy suddenly lunged forward grabbing Frostine in the wrist. The elemental suddenly grabbed the boys hand, his whole body suddenly freezing and encasing itself in a block of ice. Frostine smiled innocently, looking at the boy who was frozen solid.

"Oops." Frostine said with a small smirk.

Aidan walked around the camp, taking in the sorroundings, the elemental suddenly stopped, looking at the dining pavilion which was filled with campers. Aidan sighed and kept walking, finding dozens of cabins all lined up in a pattern. Aidan turned towards a small cliff, a gravestone implanted at the very edge.

Aidan raised an eyebrow, walking towards the gravestone and kneeling down reading the inscription. Aidan raised an eyebrow as he read what the tombstone said.

Percy Jackson.

The Hero of Olympus

"So you saw that tombstone." A voice said, Aidan yelped, jumping back in shock, Annabeth stood behind the elemental, staring into the tombstone with a sad face. Aidan raised an eyebrow, steadying his heartbeat from the scare he got.

"Who is Percy Jackson?" Aidan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He was a hero, he saved Olympus two times in his lifetime." Annabeth said laying by the gravestone and placing flower on top of the gravestone.

"What happened to him?" Aidan asked with a raised eyebrow, Annabeth visibly stiffened, the subject still sore on her.

"It's best not to talk about it." Annabeth said with a small sigh.

"People always think that demigods were going to get killed by monsters." Annabeth said with a sad expression.

"But Percy, this seaweed brain didn't deserve this death." Annabeth said.

"He deserved much more, he deserved Elysium and beyond." Annabeth said with a sad expression.

"That sounds tragic." Aidan said in a low voice.

"Very." Annabeth said, wiping a small tear in her cheek.

Azure walked around Camp Half-Blood, looking around, trying to find any sort of entertaining thing to do whilst in the camp, however she was interrupted when a sudden group of boys suddenly guested out of the clearing, laughing like they were a bunch of drunkards. They suddenly stopped looking at Azure with a small smirk.

"Hey girl, why don't you come with us." The group of boys beckoned, probably children of Ares, Azure sighed snapping his fingers, the group was suddenly picked up by the air and launched a dozen feet up the air, Azure twirled her fingers, the group suddenly spinning in the air like there was an invisible tornado. She snapped her fingers, the group suddenly falling to the ground with a thud, a few dozen bones breaking, good thing for Ambrosia.

"Try to improve your women talking skills, right now, you're as cool and slick as a donkey trying to fly in the air." Azure said with a smal scoff.

Aspen and Blitz roamed the camp, bored out of their minds, well Blitz was, Aspen was just looking at the trees, as if they were buildings so grand and beautiful.

"Aspen, we should go, I'm bored." Blitz groaned, bored out of his mind.

"Why do I care, I'm not your mother." Aspen said, not paying attanetion to Blitz's annoyed expression and groans. Blitz suddenly tripped, falling to the ground with a thud, a small cut forming in his knee.

"Damn." Blitz said, reeling in pain, turning towards his scraped knee. Aspen sighed snapping his fingers, Blitz's knee instantly healing, a green light sorrounding his knee. The cut instantly healing as if nothing even happened.

"Thanks." Blitz said, helping himself up.

"Don't mention it." Aspen said, the two suddenly stopped, looking at a group of demigods who were walking around the camp, talking with each other in a low voice.

"What do you think they are?" Blitz asked.

"Demigods of course." Aspen said.

"No I mean, well yeah, they are demigods, but they seem very, what do you call it, edgy." Blitz said scratching his chin, Aspen nodded.

"They do seem more agitated than normal, let's go talk to them." Aspen said walking towards the group of demigods. Aspen stopped turning at the group of five.

"May I help you?" A boy with blonde hair said, his electric blue eyes were dull.

"You people seem more, agitated than normal." Blitz said.

"It's because of our friend." A boy with curly blonde hair, he looked like a Latino elf.

"What happened to your friend?" Aspen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's, complicated." The girl with Cherokee skin said.

"We're not ready to talk about it." A boy who looked like a man baby said, silently.

"It's a past that we regret." A girl who had hazelnut eyes said.

Vale walked around the Camp, admiring the beauty, not the camp itself, but the land masses, typical for an elemental of earth. Vale stopped turning towards a small building to the side, it was the infirmary. Vale shrugged walking towards the infirmary, the infirmary itself was actually empty, not even one person was being treated.

There were two people talking at the front of the building, one had blonde hair, the other had raven black hair. Vale approached the two with a raised eyebrow, the two demigods turned towards Vale with a look of confusion.

"Hello, can I help you?" Will asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I was hoping whether or not you can tell me about this place." Vale said with a small smile.

"Of course." Will said with a bright smile, Nico growled a little.

"This place is a safe haven for Greek and Roman demigods alike." Will said.

"That was before they killed Percy." Nico growled.

"Nico, stop with the negative comments." Will said turning towards Nico, the son of hades shrugged.

"It can't be helped." Nico said.

"Anyways, Camp Half-Blood is only one camp, there is still Camp Jupiter which is a safe haven for Romans, but Greeks can also go there, since the Giant War ended, the two camps and demigods are now at peace with one another, which is a relief." Will said.

"The Giant War?" Vale asked.

"Oh, it was a war between the demigods, and the gods, versus the Giants." Will said.

"The demigods were all leaded by the seven." Will said.

"Who are these seven?" Vale asked, the two visibly stiffened a little.

"Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel." Will said.

"And Percy." Nico finished.

"Who is this Percy?" Vale asked.

"He was a hero, the very best of the best, even passing the heroes of olden times, surpassing even Heracles." Nico said.

"He was by far the strongest demigod in existence." Nico said.

"Yet, he was killed by those he considered friends and family." Nico explained.

"He was betrayed."

I'm going to do this quick, since I don't have that much to say, I'm probably just going to talk a little.

Also the scene with Percy and Poseidon, did you guys know that the flash was Poseidon, since I kind of hinted the scene with a flash at Percy's end, and at the Elementals end when Poseidon flashed out because of the sudden tremor, which was caused by that golem rock thing. Did any of you guys manage to pick up on that, but I understand if you didn't, it's quite a hard one to catch.

Now this is where the plot finally starts to extend to a more climactic ending, the ending of the story itself is very near, the buildup is already happening, both sides of the story is already starting to rise, Percy's side more prominent than the Elementals. Anyways, I'm exhausted, and I don't have time to edit, which means I'm going to go, see u tomorrow mates.
