Olympia : The Game

Chapter 16

Percy sat in the Orphanage living room alone, contemplating on whether he should tell the others or not. This was some serious info. It's been a week since Percy got that email and he hadn't had a good night sleep. It was only a matter of time before the Hacker group finds out about it and exploits it.

But not only them.

During their showdown with Kampe, someone else had used a spell from the Expansion Olympia to bring him back to life.

It sounds more ridiculous the more Percy thought about it. If Olympia could kill people, could Olympia also revive someone? It sounds crazy, but there was no other explanation.

Olympia made Percy's brain think that it was dead. It legit stopped functioning for two minutes. Then something jumpstarted Percy's brain into life.

Was the Iris Vision really that great of a machine? This was beyond human nature. It's almost as if the Iris Vision was made by gods.

The Orphanage was unusually quiet. It was mainly because Thalia and Jason had left. Thalia had joined up with the Rebellion while Jason was in a recruitment process with the Reyna's team, the Roman Legion. He hoped the best for the two, but he was a bit worried about Thalia. After seeing something so brutal at an early age, it wasn't good for her.

The rest of his friends were doing somewhat well. Piper and Nico were rebuilding the Rebellion. Artemis was busy with the Hunt. Annabeth was also busy with her team, Minerva.

Frank had contacted Percy to ask him to join his team, but Percy figured it was too soon. Leo sounds excited, considering he's still recovering from his injuries during the fight at the Colosseum.

The chase for Percy's head had stopped, since all of them saw Percy and his friends trying to stop the Hacker from killing everyone. That was one less thing to worry about, since getting chased around by people after his head wasn't fun. The Rookie Showcase was going to be held again in the nearest time, but there's no telling when. Poseidon has issued a statement that Olympia was going to be upgraded and security was going to be tripled.

Even with that kind of promise, people doubted his words. As far as they're concern, this was the first time someone had infiltrated Olympia's system and committed an attack like this. Little do they know that the Rebellion had been stopping these attacks for since Olympia had been invented.

But this one was the only one that had reached the public attention.

"Percy, you're going to be late for school." Hestia said behind him. He turned around and smiled.

"You sound like a mother now," Percy said.

"Well, that just enables me to boss you around," Hestia grinned. "Now take this for breakfast and go to school." She handed Percy a brown paper bag.

"Thanks." Percy said as he kissed Hestia on the cheek before running off.

At least some things never change.

Line Break

Percy was on his way to high school when a black SUV stopped right in front of him on the pavement. Percy stopped immediately.

The dark tinted windows at the back seat rolled down to see Nico's face smirking at him. "'Sup?."

"Nico?" Percy said. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm giving you an excuse to not go to school." Nico said. "Now get in." Without hesitation, Percy got in the car. Driving the car was Piper and at the front passenger seat was Thalia.

"Hey Percy," Thalia smiled at him.

"How've you been?" Percy asked.

"Better," She grumbled. "Piper and Nico are bullying me."
