The New Hero of Olympus from another Earth Book 1 (On Hold)

Chapter IV Attack of the Twin Giants

When I finally woke up my whole body was in pain and even my healing factor didn't even help the fact that I was in so much pain. "Agh." I said and then Percy came in and saw that I woke up "CJ hey man. How do you feel?" he asked and before I said anything I tried to get up or at least sit up and try to think straight "Like I was ran over by an adamantium and vibranium monster truck over and over again." I said with all the strength I had left in my body which was still healing up. "Well at least you made sure that my home was kept safe I owe you one CJ and everyone around camp is talking about how you killed all of those monsters without slowing down at all. I got to say even when I had the blessing of Achilles I wasn't able to do that much damage in one massive battle." Percy said to me while he handed me some nectar which I gulped down so fast that my healing factor didn't have time to kick in before the burning sensation kicked in. "Man how long was I out?" I asked and when I looked at Percy, I knew something was wrong then he said "You've been out cold for a whole week CJ. And seeing how your healing abilities are almost done healing your body I say that it took that long for you to come around again." Then I asked him what the date was he said that it was the 17th of November and that I was sleeping through all the days and the nights for the past week. "Man. I need to train harder so that way I can be strong enough so that way I don't go into a coma ever again." I said then I saw the horrified look on Percy's face and I didn't care what he thought I needed to become stronger so that I can save my girlfriend from the demons who took her from me. "Hey CJ don't push yourself too hard alright. Even you need to eat and sleep." Percy said in response to my statement then I got out of my bed and put on my training suit and grabbed my sword and went to the training field that is right outside of my cabin and I activated the dummies and I set the difficulty level to the highest level and I went through my most aggressive training session ever and my anger and hatred gave me the strength I needed to beat the training program then I turned off the dummies and I took a shower and put on some clean clothes that I had laid out and went to the pavilion to get something to eat and when I got there the campers saw me and they all got up and bowed to me which I didn't understand why. "What are you guys doing?" I asked then a guy from the Hermes table got up and walked towards me and said "You see ever since you took on all of those monsters by yourself and that red aura surrounded you which at first we all thought that Ares was giving you more power but when we saw that Ares wasn't around we found out that the aura was coming from you and because of your hatred and rage you were able to kill all of those monsters and send them to Tartarus." Once he finished I got so angry with myself that I just ran away and went to a place that Percy told me about which somehow calmed me down in ways I can't explain. While I was cooling off I said to myself with the picture of me and Katelyn in my hands "I swear Katelyn I'll find you and whoever took you from our earth will feel the wrath of my powers and with all of my hatred and rage I'll kill them and send them to the deepest parts of the Underworld. I promise Katelyn we'll be together again." Then I heard a twig snap and my instincts took over I teleported to the source and before my sword made contact with the person I stopped myself and saw who was spying on me "J... Jason, Piper. What are you two doing here? I could have killed you two." I said and when I sheathed my sword Piper said "We were coming here to have a picnic but you were over there talking to yourself about saving your girlfriend Katelyn and I promised to kill the demons who took her from you." And Jason said "We didn't mean to distract you CJ but when Piper accidentally stepped on a branch it snapped and then well you did the rest." I told them that I was sorry and I left them alone and they continued with their picnic. Once I got back to my cabin I saw something on my bed and saw a package with my girlfriends' handwriting on it. I don't know how it got there but I opened the package and in it was a crystal with a strange energy that felt like it would power up my speed and then I saw the letter I picked it up and opened it up it read "Dear CJ, I only have a little time before they find me but I used my powers to send you this gift that will help you find me and I know that you'll find me. And if you're reading this then I know that you're still alive after that attack on the camp that these demons keep talking about because I know how you would get when something happens to those you care about. I love you. Signed, Katelyn." After I finished the letter I put the crystal around my neck and I immediately felt a surge of power coursing through my body. Then I went to tell Percy that I finally know where the monsters are keeping my girlfriend because the crystal was also holding a map to Katelyn's location. "Percy I know where they're keeping my girlfriend." I said and I told him everything but before I finished there was a ground-rattling boom at the barrier and thanks to my heightened senses I was able to see two giants that looked exactly alike. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." I said and I teleported back to my cabin and got my sword and enchanted chain and ran to the barrier. Once I got there I saw the two giants and I yelled "Hey leave this place alone you two ugly idiots!" and that got their attention and the giant on the right said "Well, well, well brother it looks like this is the one that killed our army of monsters seven days ago." And the second giant nodded his head and he drew his long spear and his twin drew a double edge sword and they both charged me. That was their last mistake. I was so close to my girlfriend and now I have to deal with these two clowns. "You know something I really hate giants!" I yelled from behind the two giants who missed me with their weapons and I changed into my Werewolf Angle Rider form and the crystal sent a power surge through me and my Angle fire got more powerful and my speed increased tenfold. "Thank you Katelyn." I said and I charged the twin giants and then everything went all red and when I killed the two giants who had surprised looks on their faces as I sent them back to Tarturus I knew my anger and rage was also increased and now I had the power to save my girlfriend from the demons who kidnapped her. I changed back to normal and I went back into camp and got my bike but before I left somehow someone sneaked up on me and knocked me out cold even though I had an adamantium skeleton laced with vibranium. When I woke up I saw Percy and Jason on the other side of my cabin having some kind of disagreement I tried to move but for some reason, I couldn't move at all when I saw the restraints on my wrists and ankles "Seriously guys." I said and they saw that I was awake now and then before they came over to me I used my speed to vibrate out of the restraints and they both looked disappointed for some unknown reason "What's wrong?" I asked then Jason said that the necklace that my girlfriend sent me was something that Mars made and it feeds on anger and rage but it also increased my power for a short period of time. "But that's impossible my powers have reached a new point and I've never felt better." I said but then I realized that these weren't my own words "Oh man. I really hate being used like that but that crystal did give me a map to where the monsters are keeping Katelyn." I said and both Percy and Jason agreed with me with that and then there was a knock on my cabin door so I opened it and to my surprise it was Samantha and she was sad and then I saw a gash on her right arm and she fell into my arms "Samantha what happened?" I asked and before she fainted she said one word 'Chimera.' and then she passed out. I got my sword and enchanted chain and shotgun then ran to the so-called Chimera that hurt my friend. Once I saw the creature I knew that I was way in over my head and I transformed into my Werewolf Angle Rider form and my weapons changed as well then I charged at the Chimera and I threw fireballs at its feet to knock it off balance. "How'd you like that ugly?" I asked rhetorically and the Chimera just snarled in response then Percy and Jason and a few other demigods showed up then out of nowhere a whole army of monsters appeared and immediately I was getting angrier and my hatred filed the Hellfire inside of me then I began to change again but this time I became a much more powerful hero and when I opened my eyes I was surrounded by green and blue energy and I saw that I was wearing a green ring on my left middle finger and a blue ring on my right middle finger and I was feeling stronger than ever "This is amazing. I've forgotten all about my old power rings. But now is the perfect time to use them again." I said and I slammed both of my fists into the ground and the area around the monsters became covered in green and blue energy then I willed the ground to crush the monsters in one swift strike and with a painful yelp the first hundred monsters turned to dust. "Alright. Who's next?" I said and then I saw a giant with some kind of trident and instead of water pouring down it was poison and snakes fell down from the Giants' hair. Percy stepped back and said in a shocked voice "Polybotes." Then I remembered that this guy was the anti-Neptune and anti-Poseidon which meant big trouble for the children of the sea god. "Ah Perseus Jackson it's been too long. And who is this?" asked the towering Polybotes and I felt more power surging through my rings so I thrust a gigantic spear at the giant and it tore right through Polybotes which surprised him and the demigods as well. "How were you able to hurt me without the help of a god?" bellowed the wounded Polybotes and to everyone's shock and my own I was becoming surrounded by a blue image of a god which I constructed with my power rings and I was beginning to glow a brilliant gold color and my voice changed and I said "You shall beware the power of the lanterns with the power of will and hope there is no stopping the inevitable Polybotes. Now be gone and return to Tartarus where you shall rot for all eternity." And then I swung my construct sword and it vaporized Polybotes in a flash of blinding light. Then when I turned to the other monsters I shot waves of emerald and blue energy beams at the evil monsters which turned them all to dust. After that I turned back to normal and I took off the rings and placed them in my jacket pocket where they have stayed for so long but I was going to have to recharge them with the power batteries. When the campers saw the damage that I did to the giant and his army of monsters they all cheered and shouted something in Greek that I didn't know the meaning to in English so I went back to my cabin to see how Samantha was doing and saw that she was resting peacefully and Annabeth was doing the best she could to get the Chimera poison out of Samantha's bloodstream but without any luck. "Let me try Annabeth." I said and she moved away as I sat down next to Samantha and I closed my eyes and then they turned blue and radiated a blinding light that nobody could explain then I placed my hands above Samantha's body and began expelling the poison from her bloodstream. I chanted as I was getting the poison out and once all of it was out I used a technique that should have killed me but it didn't and the poison was destroyed. Once the blue light faded from my eyes I was completely drained of energy and I needed to eat something "That's it," I said "The poison is no longer in Samantha's blood." then when Annabeth was about to ask me what I did I toppled over and I was shivering and I had gotten a very high fever as well. "I didn't have a choice. I had to use the poison expelling technique to save Samantha's life," I said "but it also leaves me completely drained of energy as well as getting a fever and my healing factors go into overtime trying to heal me." I explained and then before I knew it I was out cold and I was feeling like that I was going to pass on my powers to my girlfriend. After what seemed like hours to me, I woke up to the touch of a cold washcloth on my forehead and an oxygen mask over my mouth helping me breath. I coughed up some nectar that someone's been giving to me and I started to feel a little better. I took off the mask and sat up and saw that my shirt and jacket were on my chair across the cabin and I thought I was alone but then I heard someone coming through the door of my cabin and I saw Jason, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, and Samantha when they saw me up and fully awake they were so happy that they gave me hugs and pats on my back (the girls hugged me which kind of made their boyfriends a little jealous well Piper and Annabeth's boyfriends but Samantha was just glad to see me awake again) then I asked "How long was I asleep this time?" but when I saw the clock on my wall it said it was Friday the 23rd in December which meant I was asleep for a couple of months this time. "Never mind," I said "Hey has anyone seen my power batteries?" I asked and by the looks on my friends' faces they had no idea what I was talking about. Then I remembered that my power batteries were in a pocket dimension which should work on any earth. "Hey Percy can you hand me my jacket please?" I asked and when he handed me my jacket I pulled out my power rings and placed them on my fingers and I concentrated on opening the pocket dimension and then I was holding two batteries one green and one blue. I placed them down and I let the rings go inside them and they began to recharge. Once I sat back down I saw that my friends were staring at me "What?" I asked "Is there something on my face?" but no one answered then I realized that they were waiting for an explanation about my rings and batteries so I started from the top of my lantern origins. After an hour or so I finished my story and my rings flew to my hands which amazed my friends. "Man I've seen a lot of strange things in my life but this takes the cake." Jason said and I tried to laugh but my lungs hurt too much so when I took a sharp breath I winced in pain and my healing factor went into overdrive trying to finish healing my body. "Alright so now then I could really go for some bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese." I said then I smelled something delicious coming from my cabin when I saw that my friends brought me enough food to get me back to full strength. "Thanks guys." I said and once I started eating the food I was regaining my strength and my speed was coming back then once I finished eating I had all of my strength back and I took care of the plates and since I could use another power that I have kept hidden from my new friends even though I've been on this earth for several months now and I still needed to save Katelyn from the demons and evil demigods who have her hostage right now. While I was taking a shower my friends were having a discussion about my anger and how they'll be able to help me control it. "Maybe I could build a device that would allow CJ to control his temper and use his rage for a much better use of his outburst in a battle." Leo said and his friends didn't think that would be suitable with me. While I got my clean biker clothes on I heard a faint wail as if a baby had lost its mother and father. "Hey do you guys hear that wailing sound?" I asked but apparently they didn't hear a thing then my head started spinning and I saw a baby wolf whose mother and father were killed right in front of the poor pup. "No. Guys there are some poachers killing baby animal's parents and taking the bodies away." I said and immediately they all got up and I gave them the locations of the baby animals and with the help of some satyrs we were able to save the baby animals but I could still hear the baby wolf pup crying my anger surged through my body and I changed into my Ghost Rider form and followed the whimpering to the baby wolf pup and when I got there I saw to poachers trying to kill the little one "ROOOOAAAAR!" I roared and I scared the poachers so badly that they tried to kill me but their bullets just melted before they reached me "You two. Guilty. If you don't stop this I'll eat your souls." I said and they were so scared that they both wet their pants then I laughed in my demonic voice which really scared them but not enough to make them leave. "Alright if this form isn't scary enough then how about this form." I said then I became the Werewolf Ghost Rider and that made the poachers run to their truck but I grabbed them both and they were so puny to me that I said "Now then. You two will go to the police department and turn yourselves in. And tell all your friends who kill innocent animals for sport that I'll be watching. NOW GO!" I yelled and they got in their truck and sped away then I turned back to normal and I went to the baby wolf pups hiding spot and changed into a wolf and spoke to the little one and when the pup came out I changed back to my human form and picked up the pup and carried her back to camp. Once I got back to the camp my friends saw the baby wolf pup in the blanket that I took with me to keep the wolf pup nice and warm. "Awe. The wolf pup is so cute." Piper said and then Jason came up and saw the little wolf pup in my blanket sleeping soundly. "Is it a boy or a girl?" asked Leo and I said "It's a girl Valdez. And I was thinking of naming her Holly. Mostly because she looks like the kind of wolf pup whose a Holly." Then Percy walked up and Holly started to wake up and when she saw more people she whined and whimpered then I told Holly in her language that everything was alright and that these people were friends. When my friends found out that I could speak to the animals in their own language I knew that they'll have more questions but for now I had to take care of Holly my adopted baby wolf pup and when I save my girlfriend I'll introduce Katelyn to Holly. "Come on guys these little ones need homes and a caring family to take care of them." I said and they agreed with me. Then when we were about to take the babies to the animal shelter in Manhattan, New York the other campers saw the little critters and something felt wrong in their behavior as if they all wanted to take one to be their pet but not take care of them. "Guys I'm the fastest man alive I'll take these little ones to the animal shelter. And Piper, Jason could you two look after Holly while I'm gone please?" I asked and they nodded their heads and I carefully handed Holly over to Piper at first Holly didn't want anyone else but I told her that I was coming back in a little bit. Once I got my super suit I made sure the baby animals were safe from my speed and after that I ran my way to the Manhattan animal shelter. Once I got there I saw a lot of people staring at me so I used my speed to keep my face from being seen and I disguised my voice as well. "Don't worry I'm not here to hurt anyone. Well except maybe criminals and ruffians and um who else ah that's right poachers. These little ones were being hunted down their parents protected them as best they could but the parents to these animals are now no longer alive I wasn't fast enough to save all of them but I did manage to save these babies from the poachers and I told them to turn themselves in to the police for illegal poaching in the Long Island Sound forest." I said while vibrating my vocal chords to keep my appearance up and I handed the manager the box of the baby animals and before I left the manager asked "Wait who are you?" then I turned and looked around and said "I'm the Flash." And just like my superhero name means I was gone in a flash of yellow lightning. Once I got back to the camp I took off my suit and put my normal biker clothes on and I went to find Piper, Jason, and my new wolf pup Holly. Once I found them I walked up to Piper and Jason who were sitting underneath a big oak tree near the forest on the inside of the barrier "Hey guys I'm back. Where's Holly?" I said and Holly came running to me and I picked her up and I could tell that Piper gave Holly a bath and because of the dog shampoo that I could smell on Holly's fur. "How'd it go?" Jason asked and I told him that everything went according to plan and the poachers won't be hunting anymore wildlife ever again. "That's great news." someone said behind me and when I turned around I saw Grover with a smile on his face and then I was telling them how people saw me but didn't see my face correctly because I was vibrating my head so no one could see my features and that I vibrated my vocal chords to make me talk in disguise which is really effective. "Alright guys well I'm going to the store to get some wolf supplies or in this case since Holly is kind of like a dog, some dog supplies." I said so I asked Piper and Jason to take care of Holly for a while until I got back from the store. "Sure no problem CJ. Holly is such a cute little wolf pup." Piper said and I smiled happily then I told Holly that I was going to get her some stuff from the pet store in the city. Holly barked happily that she had a great new dad to take care of her. I went to my cabin and got my bike and put my riding gloves on and placed my helmet on as well and I drove to the pet store that I passed while I was speeding back to the camp. Once I got to the pet store I went parked my bike and took the key out of the ignition slot and I put my gloves in my jacket pocket and I pressed a button on my helmet and it turned into a keychain and luckily nobody saw thanks to the Mist that Percy told me about that makes the mystical look normal so I have no idea what they saw when my helmet turned into a keychain. I went inside and got everything that I needed for Holly. I went to go pay for my stuff and while I was waiting in line a bunch of guys with ski masks on their faces came inside and shot off their guns. "Alright nobody move all we want is your money and valuables." said ski mask wearer number one and when I saw how terrified the animals and the humans were my instincts took over and I ran to the restroom and changed into my super suit and I took out a box that I call a advent deck then I held it out and said "Kamen Rider Werewolf Knight." and I was instantly transformed into a warrior with the armor that looks like my Werewolf form then I ran back into the store and when I stopped the guys who were stealing the customers stuff looked at me in confusion. "Who the heck is that guy? And where did he come from?" asked ski mask wearer number two then when he saw me take out my sword he fired his gun at me which did hit me but it didn't penetrate my suit at all "What the heck?!" yelled a surprised thief then I smiled underneath my mask and said "My turn." Then I ran towards the thieves and knocked them all out then I tied them up and that was that. "Now then someone call the police and tell them that we have five thieves here who need to be brought in." I asked politely then I ran to the wall which everyone thought was crazy then they saw me phase right through it and once I got out of the restroom back in my normal clothes I went to the clerk at the cash register and paid for my stuff then I left the pet store and I went back to Camp Half-Blood. Once I got back I saw that the campers were looking at me strangely then Percy came out of the Big House and said "CJ did you save those people at the pet store?" and I said yes and told him about my advent deck which he found difficult to understand. "And that's pretty much it." I finished and then when I saw that the other campers had gathered around to hear my story I immediately teleported to where Jason, Piper, and my wolf pup Holly were and that kind of scared Piper a little. "Sorry about that." I said and Piper accepted my apology then I told Holly to follow me and we both went back to my cabin where I placed her new bed next to mine and I put the puppy food in the closet and after a while I had everything where I needed them to be. Then I heard the dining pavilion bell ring which meant it was time for dinner "Come on Holly let's go." I said. Once Holly and I got to the dining pavilion I got a magic bronze plate and a magic goblet and went to the bench where I've been eating my food by myself but this time I had Holly with me to keep me company this time. When Percy and Annabeth came over and saw me laughing and having a good time with Holly they were glad to see me happy again even though my girlfriend is being held hostage. When I saw them I was surprised to hear them talking about how happy Holly is making me then I heard them say Katelyn's name then I remembered why I came to this earth. "Come on Holly let's go get some sleep." I said and Holly and I headed back to my cabin. Before Holly and I got too far Percy called my name "Hey CJ hold up." I turned around and Percy and Annabeth caught up with me "What do you guys want? I heard you two say my girlfriends' name. And I don't need to be reminded about why I came to this earth." I said and they saw that my smile was gone and what was on my face now was a sad grin that they knew as that I mean business with the demons and evil demigods who kidnapped my girlfriend Katelyn. "Look we didn't mean to make you upset or anything we just meant that there may be a reason why they took her from your earth and brought her here." Annabeth said and from her point of view since she's the daughter of Athena the goddesses of wisdom and battle strategy I took that statement and thought about it for some time then I said "Yeah maybe your right Annabeth. But I don't..." I stopped and then I remembered that Katelyn holds half of the same power that I gave her when he saved her from dying on their earth and that if she was taken and experimented on her powers would be in the hands of the enemy which would be bad. "Oh, no." I said when Percy and Annabeth heard me say that they knew something was wrong "CJ what aren't you telling us?" asked Annabeth then I looked at them and started to explain the details "You see back on my earth before Katelyn and I started dating I was fighting against one of my enemies she calls herself Mystique and when I was about to finish her off Mystique shot an RPG at the building where I told Katelyn to hide in and I froze Mystique in her place and I ran to the building at first the RPG didn't explode but when I opened the door to get Katelyn out of the building then the RPG blew the building up and um well I had help from a friend... Ugh. I might as well introduce you two to Arcee." while we walked to my cabin I finished up the story and once we go to my cabin I said "Arcee it's time." then my bike rolled out of the shed and it wasn't in its Ghost Rider bike form then a symbol appeared on the windshield and before Annabeth and Percy could ask what the symbol means they saw the bike actually transform into a giant female robot "You know CJ I always get tired of being introduced to different humans." said the robot then Percy uncapped his pen and he was now holding his bronze sword in his hands and Annabeth drew her bronze dagger "Whoa guys don't worry this is Arcee. She's an autobot from my earth and she's an alien from a different planet called Cybertron." I said putting myself in front of both Percy and Annabeth. "So she protected your girlfriend and when you used your super strength to get them out of the wreckage and you saw that Katelyn was seriously hurt and you gave her some of your blood to heal her. Is that it?" asked Percy and I nodded my head and both Percy and Annabeth put their weapons away. "Alright now then Arcee the idiots who kidnapped Katelyn know about her powers and plan on making them theirs." once I said that Arcee somehow knew that our plan just became more complicated. "Anyways it's getting late I'm going to bed now. Come on Holly." I said and Arcee turned back into a bike and went back in the shed and Percy and Annabeth went to their cabins to get some sleep as well. While I slept I had the strangest dream.
