Percy Jackson and the Capture of Flag( Percy Jackson Fanfiction )

Reyna(s) - 3

So guys, how are you? another chapter as promised, Rick Riordan owns all PJO and HoO. I hope you enjoy this chapter. And in the last chapter, I am really sorry, I know Jason can never win from Percy in a sword-to-sword fight especially near water, but just for the sake of plot I made him win. I know Percy will always actually win. Enjoy!

NICO almost shadow-travelled away when Percy said "Now", but was stopped by Valdez. Leo, he had to remind himself.

"Bro Neeks, we aren't allowed to shadow-travel, remember?" Nico almost punched Leo. He then scowled.

"Don't call me Neeks, or else..." He tapped his sword on the ground and some bones erupted from it and formed a grinning skeleton which came towards Leo. 

He gulped in fear. " Ok, ok, Let's just go towards the Flag, ok?"

Nico nodded slightly. He then remembered Percy's words and smiled. "But they are for border patrol, as only two alive people are allowed to be near the flag for defense." He had understood what Percy meant even if the others didn't. Percy had given him the hint to use the dead for the protection of the flag. But he also understood Percy didn't want the dead near the Flag. He had first said: "Only one except you will be near the flag."

He didn't understand why, but he knew better than to disobey Percy's orders, as he had witnessed the fight between him and Thalia himself,  In which Percy had almost killed Thalia, but was distracted.

As he was thinking all this, he was jarred back to reality by Leo, who was shaking him uncertainly. "Were you having a flashback?"

Nico scowled. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, nothing!" He muttered. "Let's go now, or do you want Percy to get mad at us?"

Nico frowned. It was as though he had read his mind about Percy getting mad. But he shrugged off the feeling.

"Yeah, we really don't want that to happen. Or else...." He crossed a finger over his neck.

Leo laughed uneasily. It was rare that Nico made jokes like that. 

***********************************************************************************************

After reaching the pool, Nico told Leo to stop and to wait for him while he went and summoned some dead. Leo frowned. The thought of the dead almost made him tremble. It didn't scare him, but extremely uneasy.

"Yeah, yeah, you can count on me......"  He faltered when Nico looked at him coldly. "What?"

"Nothing, I just hope I am counting on the right person." And with that Nico strode off. He never exactly trusted Leo, but here it was no-other-choice matter.

after reaching a distance in which Leo was visible but farther he wasn't, he stopped. After taking out his sword, he concentrated at the dead-rising process. One minute later, he was ordering two dozen skeletons to stay there and stop anyone wearing a red plume on their helmet. They nodded.

After Nico arrived, Leo exhaled with relief. Nico looked at him curiously.

 "What? you didn't expect me to return? 

"Of course I did!" Leo said quickly. Just then, they heard some shouts. They looked there and groaned loudly. It was Reyna. Or actually, three Reynas, if it was possible. Then they looked at each other and understood. They were just Hecate campers messing with the Mist. Just as they were sharing glances, one Reyna pointed her finger towards Nico and closed her eyes. He tried to run away but it was too late. A net had fallen over him. Leo looked at the three Reynas questioningly, took out some tools/weapons, and then charged. But not at them, but at Nico.
