Omega, Son of Chaos 1: Return

Aftermath

BLAZE POV

Well, THAT was funn. after percy left all of us with our jaws on the ground, we slowly started to allow our feet to take us back to the pavilion, the shock still clearly whelming us. for some reason, Angel with Alpha, who was still pumping his fist, and Reaper with Queen approached Hades. he was talking to his wife, holding her close, her arm in his, until they noticed the four Chaos warriors. "can i help you with something?" the lord of the dead asked scowling a bit, probably annoyed that he still has some soul stuck in between his teeth. angel and reaper both stepped forward and bowed.
"yes, yes, get up. i was talking to my wife."
"god to know you've changed a bit and gotten happier father." Reaper said.Hades' face went from ashen white to "light-at-the-end-of-life white"
"w-w-what did you call me?"
Reaper's mask drifted off, as if it was always made of shadows, Angel simply took hers off with her hand, showing his father a face he had long since thought he'd never see again, as long as he existed. " b...bianca" when Hades said his daughter's name, it was quieter than even death's whisper, as if saying her name any louder would erase her presence, "nico, my son."
"hey dad"
"hello father" bianca had barley finished saying before Hades squeezed the himself out of her and nico.
"wha...how...oh, to me with it all. you're both alive." and the king of the dead did something that surprised everyone that saw, he cried (ugh, hades' and ugly crier, SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S A MOMENT HERE? fine) i kept walking with cal while everybody ran to the children of the underworld. i saw nico introducing hazel to bianca. as i walked, my hand in Calypso's, mine was on fire,not blazing but warm, but it's okay, she recently made some gloves out of that, ever so infamous, fire-proof cloth. we walked, and out of nowhere i saw my father, tinkering with a small robot dove. no doubt trying to reel in Aphrodite's attention and away from who Percy calls "blades for brains" ares. we walked up and saw up close what he was having problems with. "if you crossed the green and gold wires, and flipped the panel behind the foot, and put diamonds for eyes it might fly better and with the diamonds it could reflect the sunshine, causing the dove to change eyes as much as her beauty does."
he looked at me like he was going to smoke me then and there but slowly turned back to his work, "humph, you seem to know a bit about mechanics there lad. tell me, who taught you?"
"i guess you can say it runs in the family. my mother was and my half-brother were geniuses when it comes to anything electrical or mechanical. and i'm not one bit too shabby if i can say so myself," i said and i stretched out my suspender bands some.
"what of yer father then?"he asked.
"oh, he was on a different level all together. but you'd know that, wouldn't you, dad?" i said as i burned my mask off my face, grinning as widely as when i found Festus or finished building the Argo II, or after the first time calypso kissed me. i smiled big. "lad. you're alive. my boy." he dropped his bird to hug me, and for once i was glad alpha made me start building some muscle, because if i hadn't my father would've snapped me in half by now. thankfully, he just cracked a couple ribs which Calypso could heal later back in our cabin, "wait, who is this then?"
"it is i, lord hephaestus." moonlace said as she took off her mask.
"milady." my father bowed slightly. she just smiled and put her hand in mine, leaning a bit against me. but not for long because apparently my brothers and sisters, as well as jason and piper saw me. they all charged at me, but jason got there first since he flew straight at me. then the rest of cabin 9 pile dogged over us, again, thank you, weight lifting. i probably would've been flattened so much that paper would look fat next to me. then after we all finished admiring how great i look alive, we walked to the pavilion, my father next to me. we all talked more about how charlie and Selina were doing, and how they have a kid of their own now. that brought tears to his eyes. "we should talk more about the upcoming war," we heard Chiron telling the Big Three, and Athena. they agreed and said to get Percy who was, "most likely eating," said by poseidon. as we got to the pavilion, there was a crowd. "i wonder what is going on." Nico said, appearing next to me.
"i dunno."
then i see malcolm, son of athena break from the crowd, " we need medics in here! it's percy! we think he chocked on some pancakes and is dying!" Nico and i look at each other and rush to break through to the front of the hoard of people. Percy was face down in his food, a fork in one hand with five layers of blue pancakes on the table straight up, and his other hand was the pitcher still pouring maple syrup. apollo flashed in and started to heal him with sunshine, (good thing it's magical sunlight, right? haha SERIOUSLY. SHUT UP, DON'T YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING ON?! sure i do, but seriously? healing with light?! idk bro.) but the sun god looked confused, " i don't get it. for some reason my magic isn't being allowed by his body to heal. it's like it was telling me to leave it alone." everyone looked at each other questioningly and leaned in closer to percy. then without a single warning he shot straight upright, scaring everyone and screaming out the top of his lungs. then he fell again. a girl, one of the younger ones at camp, probably eight, poked Percy in the face with a stick, he mumbled something so she poked again, but he moved so the stick went up his nose. he then shot up to his feet, the stick still in his nostril, fork in one hand and maple syrup in the other. "WHAT?! i was asleep!!" needless to say, we were all embarrassed for him as he noticed and took out the stick. "well, aren't we the funny bunch." he said.
"bro, you fell asleep while EATING. a stick up the nose is obviously an appropriate repercussion." Arrow said picking up a slice of blue pancake, "besides," he said, mouth full, "we had to get to so we can start the briefing,gods this blue pancake IS good!"
"see!? and people judge me." Percy proudly defended the food, "and on the war. Gaea is evil and pissed. both titans and the giants are with her. i think that should suffice, right?" Chiron came up, "my boy, we will still need to talk this over in the rec room."
"fine," Percy said sitting down, "after i finish my food."
"try not to fall asleep again!" the little girl said out loud with a sly smile on her tiny face, "i got more sticks."
