Hero's Journey (A Percy Jackson X Young Justice Crossover)

Chapter 3

Themyscira
August 17th, 10:33

Percy blocked the two attackers with his trident and reciprocated with wide slash. His mind was working on overdrive, analyzing the situation. He decided to move back to get some space and better utilize the range advantage his weapon gave him. He caught the sword one of the attackers used and locked it in his trident, then with quick snap of his wrist the blade was flying away. Who knew Luke's disarming technique worked so well with tridents once adapted. One swift move later first attacker was on the ground. The other, realizing the disadvantage started to play dirty. Slashing the sword on sandy ground and sending dirt on Percy the assailant hoped to distract him and get his guard down, but Percy simply spinned, using the other end of his trident to make his opponent loose balance. After that a quick kick was enough to send attacker flying. Sword fell of her hand and Percy pointed his weapon at her throat.

"Yield?"

"Fine. You win this time. But I want a rematch some day." Donna frowned, but deep down she was impressed. This mysterious demigod was able to best every Amazon in single combat, and now he proceeded on with kicking their asses in groups. She and Artemis were supposed to be best of the best among their ranks, but he didn't even break a sweat while knocking them down.

"Sure you will. Just not in this century." Percy extended his hand and she took it.

Without turning back he made a jab with blunt part of his trident and Artemis was sent back. "Not cool. I did not expect such dishonorable behavior from you." Percy laughed as the other Amazon tried to stand up, but fell back down because of pain.

"Stupid demigod reflex. If you weren't a demigod, I would have defeated you already." After that she added a string of colorful curses in ancient Greek, to which Percy only smiled. He then turned to Diana, who was observing the whole event.

"So?"

"I'm impressed. You really are greatest swordsman on two earths. But let's see how you do against someone that can match you in power." Wonder Woman smiled as she jumped into the arena, drawing her sword.

Percy only smiled and readied his trident. "Bring it on Princess."

Diana dashed at Percy, but the last moment she sidestepped left and tried making a jab, but instead she hit the shaft of his trident as Percy blocked her attack. Then, she proceeded with three more slashed and few jabs, but Percy blocked or dodged all. While she was trying her best to hit him, he went on defensive looking for some opportunity. When Diana made overhead slash, he intercepted it with his trident and locked the blade on the ground. He then used his weapon like a jumping pole to boost himself and launch a kick at her head. To dodge, Wonder Woman had to let go of her sword, which she did. Now Percy stood between her and the weapon. He smiled and kicked the blade away, making it unlikely she will get it before the fights end. She took battle stance and made welcoming gesture. Percy launched himself using the trident like a bo staff. He swiped high, making Diana duck, but at the same time, he opened himself for her low kick. She made him loose balance enough to grasp his weapon and try throwing it away to even the ground. To her dismay, Percy held the trident firmly and used it as a leverage, while falling on his back and kicking her back. He then jumped on his feet and pointed his trident at her neck, but before he could say anything she swiped again, sending him onto the floor again. Then, she pulled a small knife and pressed it to throat, but as soon as she did she felt something pointy near her heart.

"I would call it a draw." Percy smiled at Diana. She frowned at first, but also smiled and helped him stand up.

"I don't know how, but you are able to match me in combat every time. Well done. Although I am not sure my mother will be happy with how today's training session turned out. Amazons' pride is already down now that this, and I quote, 'insolent male' came to Themyscira and started wiping the arena with each of them. Hearing that you matched me in fair battle will be like a slap on the face. I have no knowledge on how much longer they will tolerate you, before ganging onto you fifty versus one." Wonder Woman laughed before going to pick his sword. Percy chased after her.
