Percy Jackson: The Warrior of Chaos

Chapter 1: Peace

6 months after the fall of Gaea

Percy POV

It's been 6 months since we defeated Gaea, it wasn't easy, but we did it. Leo sacrificed himself along with many other of the campers, except Octavion, that little twit was just fucking stupid. I'm on my last year of high school at Goode, and so far no monster has tried to attack me. Probably because I have Annabeth with me, and by this point monsters pretty much know about us and would have to be dumber than the Minotaur to attack us. Annabeth and I even have a couple classes together, like social studies, english (we both suck at that) and my favorite, gym. We both have changed a lot since the war. Like, we are starting to enjoy the little things a lot more, like just being in each others company, or even when I do something stupid she just laughs and calls me seaweed brain rather than getting mad at me like she did when we were 12. Now it's just the teachers who get mad when I do something stupid.

You remember that thing I said about having no monster attacks so far this year? Well, holy shit did that change. Annabeth and I were in gym class, and today we were playing basketball, and after years of playing with the Apollo kids, we were stomping everyone, and naturally, being boyfriend and girlfriend, Annabeth and I were on the same team. Anyways, while we were playing, I heard a guttural roar from the hallway, and everyone in my class stopped what they were doing, the gym was more quiet than it probably ever had been. I instinctively put my hand on my pocket where I kept riptide, and Annabeth went to her pockets where she kept her new daggers. Her new daggers could change form when she didn't need them into pens. Why everything turns into a pen, I don't know. While we were reaching for our pockets we made eye contact, and immediately knew what to do. Just then, the gym doors blew open, and a hoard of monsters came through, four dracanae, three telekhines, and the worst, five laistrygonian giants.

"I hate canadians" said Annabeth.

"That makes two of us, wise girl." I replied.

"You go left, I go right?" she asked me.

"You're the Athena girl, why are you asking me for approval of a battle plan?" I said with a smirk.

At this we charged, just like Annabeth said. As we were obliterating the monsters, we heard another roar from outside. At the opposite side of the gym, a massive hole in the wall big enough for a tank blasted open. At this point, the mortals and gym teacher were standing still, from fear of whatever they saw, or that Annabeth and I were killing stuff, I don't know. As we finished the last monster on our side of the gym, an even bigger group came through, fifty monsters at least.

"We can't fight them, and we can't leave the mortals, what should we do?" I asked.

"We have to create a distraction to draw the monsters from the mortals, although, I think the mortals are out of the way and won't be the monsters targets." She said.

Just to confirm this, our classmates were panicking and trying to get into the locker rooms off to the side, and the monsters were just barrelling at us.

"Run." Said Annabeth.

I managed to squeak a reply somewhere between Okay, and Help. So, we ran. We ran straight out of the gym and into the street, and kept running to the parking lot where I had my car. It was a 2012 Chevy Malibu I saved up for myself. Annabeth got in the passenger seat, and I got behind the wheel and floored it. Not a moment too soon because a battle axe and several spears just impaled the ground where my car just was.

As we got out of the city Annabeth let out a wince of pain next to me. I looked over and almost threw up or started to cry. On her side was a nasty gash that went from just below her armpit, to just under where her rib cage stopped. Her shirt was soaked in blood, and it wasn't slowing down. How the hell did I not see that? I thought, I'm fucking stupid and a horrible boyfriend. I stopped the car on the shoulder of the highway, I took my own shirt off and pressed it against her side as she let out a scream of pain.

"Sorry babe, there's some nectar and ambrosia in my glove box i can get for you, I just need you to hold this shirt quick, okay?"

She let out a wea nod with tears streaming down her face. I grabbed the ambrosia and powders nectar. As she nibbled on the ambrosia I mixed the nectar into a water bottle and put that in the cup holder for her. I looked out the back window and saw our friends were still behind us. How fast do monsters run? I thought. I got back in my seat and told Annabeth to hold on. As i hit the gas she let out another wince of pain from the force of accelerating so quick, and I felt really bad about making my girlfriend hurt.

"We're still about an hour from camp." I said, not happy that the camp couldn't have been closer to Manhattan.

After close to 45 minutes of driving way above legal limits, I couldn't see the monster group anymore, and the camps hill came into view. I started to slow my car down as I didn't want to slam the brakes and slide the car, or making Annabeth face plant the dashboard. She was really sweaty and the color in her face was drained. I was getting really worried. I pulled the car over to a side road where the other demigods had their own cars. I got out of the car went to the passenger side and scooped Annabeth up as she was in no condition to walk. I looked over at the hill, and was again upset by how far we have to go. It was a good quarter mile to the base of the hill. I started to walk carefully, not wanting to hurt Annabeth anymore than she was, she was holding her arms around my neck, and with how little she was breathing she could've been asleep. I picked up my pace, and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement, I didn't have to look to see it was the monster group. These fucking assholes don't give up, I angrily thought. I started to jog not worrying about making her a little more hurt, I'd rather she be hurt than dead. I made it to the hill only to realize the monsters were gaining, they were about 100 yards away, and I still had to carry Annabeth up the hill. About half way up the hill I started to really hurt myself, and thankfully the Stoll brothers were on lookout, they looked at me and Annabeth and smiled until they saw Annabeth's blood soaked shirt. Then they really weren't smiling when they saw the monster group behind me.

"The dark one wantsss him alive!" said a dracaena. Dark one? Hades? I thought he was a good guy. I reached the top of the hill and gave Annabeth to the Stolls, just in time, as a chain wrapped around my right leg and pulled it out from under me. I pulled riptide out of my pocket and cut the chain and barely got to my feet in time for the monsters to be right on top of me. I started doing my best to hold them off, I was trying to back to the camp boundary, but the monsters were flanking me from both sides, I saw the sheer number and knew it was a lost cause, but I decided to take as many as I could. I received a spear into my right leg making me collapse, I killed my assailant, at this point I couldn't tell which monster was which, as I was surrounded, and my vision was getting fuzzy. I took another blow from a club into my left ribs, breaking them instantly I could tell as I threw up on a monster and nearly blacked out.

With that I let out a guttural scream of rage, fear, and a whole bunch of other emotions. I saw the monsters falter and look above them, I was so induced with rage I could barely feel the familiar tugging sensation in my gut, and before I knew it, myself, with the other monsters was in a massive whirlpool the size of a full scale tornado of water. Most of them disintegrated immediately from the force of the entire creek in the forest hitting them with that force, but some were resistant, and slowly crumbling to ashes as the tornado of watery destruction kept going around me. I knew I would pay for the use of so much of my power, but I didn't care. When I saw the last gods forsaken piece of shit lowlife being of tartarus vaporize, I stabbed my sword into the ground and sent the water back to the creek. I looked behind me to see all the campers and Chiron staring at me, in disbelief, maybe even fear of my power, and I passed out from pain, exhaustion, and disbelief of my own.
