Please be aware this story will have major differences from the original Lightning thief because Percy now got the mission to bring back the family together.

"WHERE'S THE LIGHTNING BOLT!" Alecto screamed, revealing her true form.

"Aaahhhh!" I screamed back while stumbling backwards.

"Mrs Dodds!" I screamed helplessly.

Yes, I deserve an Oscar. Mrs Dodds was gone and now in her place stood the Grey skinned Fury.

Yup, I was at the museum and I had splashed Nancy with my demigod powers. Honestly, it still gave me a kick even though I knew I would be punished with Death. Not that I had any intentions of dying today. Not by the Fury I slayed so many years ago.

I faked falling to the ground when the Fury flew right over me, missing me by a few inches.

Bam! The doors of the room slammed open revealing Mr. Brunner aka Chiron sitting in his wheelchair.

"Percy!" He shouted and he threw me a silver object. I instinctively caught it and relived the moment I first obtained Riptide.

In that moment I just realized Riptide was missing from my pocket since Chaos abruptly teleported me to the past. I wondered what happened to the old Riptide. Maybe it no longer exists.

The Fury shook me out of my thoughts as she went for another dive attack again. She screeched as she drove down. I uncapped Riptide as I had done thousands of times, well at least in my past life.

The pen shifted into a 3 feet long Celestial Bronze sword and caught Alecto by surprise. She was unable to stop her dive and flew right through the sword I held in front of me.

Sure it wasn't the most heroic kill but it did the job.

Alecto dissolved into monster dust. I fell to my knees faking surprise and shock while Mr. Brunner had a thoughtful look on his face. I fell to the ground faking myself dying, so he wouldn't turn his back on me like the last time.

There's no way in Hades I'm gonna spend the rest of the year on campus.

Mr. Brunner rolled forward while I mumbled something like, "What the hell was that?"

'You should get an Oscar.' Hemera commented in my head.

OH... by the way I forgot to mention that Hemera and her husband Aether also checked in from time to time to check out what I was doing. Unlike Chaos, they were really kind. Chaos was mostly snarky and cocky.

'Mmm...I don't know, the screaming didn't look really believable, so could you do that again but more surprised?' Chaos complained.

'I don't know about the screaming, but he looked really cool when he slashed her shoulder with Riptide.' Nyx said thoughtfully.

'Shut up, all of you I'm busy' I ended the conversation and opened my green eyes to face a disturbed looking Mr. Brunner.

"Percy, what did she just say?" he said worried.

"What was that?" I said, heavily breathing but Mr. Brunner just shook his head, "Percy I need you to tell me what she said!"

I looked thoughtfully for a second before saying, "she said something about a lightning bolt and that there were more coming," while looking traumatized.

I know you're all thinking that the last one was a lie but I needed to get to camp as soon as possible.

"You need to get to camp," Brunner said, "I will explain everything later." I just nodded and put Riptide in my pocket. Hoping no one would notice.
