The Broken and the Hunted (Percy Jackson Fanfic)

chapter 17

Artemis P.O.V.
Right after Talon said that, the large mace pope's up out of the ground next to Talon. Ishi glanced over at him. "Show me something new, bring out the big guns." Talon said to him.

Even though they were so far apart Ishi seemed to hear him and clasped his hands together in front of him. "blessing of the earth." Ishi mumbled under his breath.

When he opened his eyes I saw they glowed a soft earthy green color. I was about to ask what that was when he smacked his palm to the ground and yelled out. "Total earth manipulation. Transmutation level 5."

As he lifted his hand I could feel the earth magic swirling around him. He pulled a massive gun out of the ground but then I noticed he didn't pull it out, he formed it out of the ground itself he changed the dirt and stone into the steel for the minigun he was now holding. The ammo belt going down into the ground itself for I suspect an unlimited supply of ammo.

"Oh he really brought the big guns... Literally. I was not expecting this." Talon said surprised.

A couple of my hunters chuckled at this while the others were still looking in shock at the heavy weaponry in front of them. There was a loud sound of the barrels spinning, then the deffening gun fire as the bullets sprayed from the gun. They must have been at least part Celestial bronze as they tore through the army of monsters making them explode into golden dust. I saw almost all of the Hephaestus campers start drooling at the sight.

Then everything happened so fast. There was a thunderclap and my father was standing behind Ishi. The golem who was still beside his creator reacted and swung it's earthen fist at the god. Zeus easily sidestepped the clumsy attack and summoned his master bolt aiming at the large man with the minigun. Before he could strike him down, Ishi and Talon swapped places in an instant. The master bolt striking Talon dead on.

Another massive thunderclap and the smoking body of Talon flew back towards us and collided with Ishi who didn't even flinch as he caught him. "Daughter what is the meaning of this. You are here with the man I sent you to hunt and you have not killed him yet, explain yourself!" Zeus

"Aw come on Zeusy peusy don't be mad at her" a still smoking talon said from Ishi's arms before lifting his head to look at Zeus, who stepped back in shock. "It's not her fault I'm not dead yet."

Most of the skin on his face was burnt off while the rest was blackened. His eye lids and lips were completely gone as he opened his face to laugh you could see his tongue reforming. Zeus paled considerable at the sight. "How are you alive your just a demigod and you took my master bolt  point blank no mortal should have survived that."

"Well I didn't you see, with a whole lot of explaining I could tell you why I didn't die I don't feel like explaining it to you so let's just say I'm not completely mortal." He said with a terrifying grin because his mouth hasn't reformed all the way.

He jumped out of the arms of the larger man with a simple head nod in thanks. Talon turned back to the angry god before him "so are we going to duke this out, because if I kill you I can collect on your bounty." He said with a smirk.

Before anyone could say anything there were three flashes and the Fates were standing there in front of Talon. "Talon we cannot allow this, if you were to fight him to many fates would change if you made him fade." They said together.

Both my father and I were stunned the Fates themselves came to stop Talon. I could practically see my father's ego inflate until they turned to him " And you, you are lucky Talon interrupted your attack on the other mortal. Should your attack have landed you would have broken the Ancient laws, you understand what that would mean correct?"

Zeus paled once again as he truly understood how he almost made a grave mistake. "Oh come on guys I wasn't thinking of making him fade, gosh how bad do you think I am? Hahaha no I was only going to kill him slowly by boiling his Inchor then he would just reform in Tartarus so it's all good right." Talon said shocking the gods as he threw his arms over the shoulders of the Fates.

"That would be better but still no. He doesn't have time to reform." They said while shaking off Talons arms.

"Tch spoil sport" Talon complained "fine anything you want sweet thangs" he said blowing them all a kiss.

They all gestured for him to leave by waving the hands shooing him away. Talon waved bye over dramatically at the hunters and me before disappearing taking the other to with him. "Why did you let him go he is a threat to Olympus he must be destroyed!" Zeus bellowed at the Fates.

I silently prayed for my stupid father as the Fates slowly turned and looked back at him. "Be silent fool if he truly wanted to kill you there would be nothing we could do to stop, it nothing any of the gods could do, he has control of his own fate and the power to do it too. We earned his respect and that is the only reason you are not reforming in Tartarus."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Perceus was that strong, and he has control of his own fate that ment he had his own string of fate. But how would they allow that. The Fates seemed to sense my thought as they gave me a knowing look and then spoke in my head "all will be answered in time child continue to do as your father asks until the time is right, you will know when." With one last glowering look at my father the flashed away.
