"STOP," JASON CROAKED. He rose unsteadily to his feet, and he wasn't sure who was more surprised: him, or the storm spirits.
"How are you alive?" Dylan's form flickered. "That was enough lightning to kill twenty men!"
"Wow, look at me and you sharing a common interest, Dylan!" Hana commented, jabbing her sword into a flickering Dylan, she was fuming that he kept changing forms.
"My turn," Jason grinned.
He reached in his pocket and pulled out the gold coin. He let his instincts take over, flipping the coin in the air like he'd done it a thousand times. He caught it in his palm, and suddenly he was holding a sword—a wickedly sharp double-edged weapon. The ridged grip fit his fingers perfectly, and the whole thing was gold—hilt, handle, and blade.
"Di Immortales..." Hana breathed in awe.
Dylan snarled and backed up. He looked at his two comrades and yelled, "Well? Kill him!" The other storm spirits didn't look happy with that order, but they flew at Jason, their fingers crackling with electricity.
Jason swung at the first spirit. His blade passed through it, and the creature's smoky form disintegrated. The second spirit let loose a bolt of lightning, but Jason's blade absorbed the charge. Jason stepped in—one quick thrust, and the second storm spirit dissolved into gold powder.
Dylan wailed in outrage. He looked down as if expecting his comrades to re-form, but their gold dust remains dispersed in the wind.
"Impossible! Who are you, half-blood?" He screamed in anger, Hana just stood there watching him with confusion but the impressed smile she had on, it calmed his worry that Hana saw him differently now.
"I'm beginning to think you're very special Jason."
Piper, on the other hand, was so stunned she dropped her club. "Jason, how ... ?"
Then Coach Hedge leaped back onto the skywalk and dumped Leo like a sack of flour. "Spirits, fear me!" Hedge bellowed, flexing his short arms. Then he looked around and realized there was only Dylan.
"Curse it, boy!" he snapped at Jason. "Didn't you leave some for me? I like a challenge!"
"Satyrs never change." Hana chuckled.
Leo got to his feet, breathing hard. He looked completely humiliated, his hands bleeding from clawing at the rocks. "Yo, Coach Supergoat, whatever you are—I just fell down the freaking Grand Canyon! Stop asking for challenges!"
"You okay, Lion Boy?" Hana shouted, he shot her a shaken nod and winning smile and she relaxed.
Dylan hissed at them, but Jason could see fear in his eyes. "You have no idea how many enemies you've awakened, half-bloods. My mistress will destroy all demigods. This war you cannot win."
