Percy narrowed his eyes, "I don't' have time to deal with you!" Percy activated his Speed demon perk, Body Form and Earthquake control. He first activated his Binding hands spells causing blue ribbons to fly out from Percy's hands and tie themselves around Hyperion.
"You think ribbons can stop me?!" Hyperion's roared out as he covered himself with fire burning off the ribbons. Just as the flames cleared Hyperion saw Percy raising him. His eyes went wide in surprise, but before he could even do anything Percy punched Hyperion.
Hyperion's eyes popped open as his mouth flew. His skin was slowly turning purple in pain as his entire body started to shake. Percy drew his hand back allowing Hyperion to slowly cover his groin and fall down into the fetal position;
Attack - 900 (Earthquake) X 5 (Body Form) = 4,500 Attack!
Bonus for speed (X 11) = 49,500 Attack!
Critical Strike!
2500% of 49,500 = 1,237,500 Attack!
Percy didn't have time to appreciate how powerful he had gotten. He zoomed away from the fallen Titan towards the chest and grabbed the Fleece. Just as he was about to take off the chest a hand exploded from inside the chest and grabbed the Fleece.
Percy's eyes went wide in fear and shock. The hand was black, blacker than Hades' robes. Slowly chunks of the black skin started peeling off revealing golden brown skin underneath.
"You will not take this from me demigod," a voice came out of the chest shaking Percy to the core. It wasn't a human, it wasn't a god, it was something more. Percy started to panic but quickly Gamer's mind shut it down.
"I'm not letting you get away with this Kronos," Percy growled as he pulled on the Golden Fleece harder. The hand however wasn't letting go. Percy activated his Body Form and pulled again using his added strength, but the hand wouldn't budge.
Scratch!
The Fleece tore into two as Percy fell to the ground holding his part and the hand went into the chest with his part. Percy looked at the torn Fleece, the ends were pouring out dust, hopefully it would still work. Percy shoved it into his inventory and looked at the chest, he couldn't get the other piece.
Percy turned and ran, he ran at his top speed and quickly reached the beach. There was only boat left, the rest of the crew had already left for the ship.
"Come on Percy!" Nina yelled out from the last boat.
Percy was about to get on when one of the sailors yelled, "look out!"
Warning! Sw-
Percy moved quickly as he spun around and took out Riptide aiming it at the person who attacked him. "Luke?"
The son of Hermes stood in front of Percy with his sword drawn, "I can't let you leave Percy."
'He's putting on a show again,' Percy realised as he looked to the side seeing several upgraded monkeys standing near the forest line.
"Nina go on, I'll catch up," Percy said as he readied his blade.
"But Percy-"
"-GO!" Percy said as he connected with the sea ordering the water to take the boat off shore and towards the Ascension.
Percy then charged Luke as the two clashed in a heated battle, or so it seemed. Percy could have finished Luke off before the son of Hermes even got a single strike in, this battle was all for show.
Sparked flew as the swords collided, Percy leaned in, "why are you doing this Luke? Come with us."
Luke shook his head as he disengaged from the standstill before attacking Percy again, "I need to be here, the closer I get to Kronos and the others the better I can protect you all."
"That's crazy talk Luke!" Percy said pushing Luke to the side before pushing him to the ground. Percy then jumped on him with his sword coming down for his neck which Luke blocked, "if they found out they will kill you, or worse!"
Luke smiled, "glad to see you still care about me Percy." He pushed Percy off him and the two began circling each other, "What's important right now is you leaving Percy. I got this, trust me."
"Luke-"
"-Percy, trust me."
Percy looked at Luke and sighed, "You are a stubborn son of a bitch."
Luke smiled, "look who's talking," Luke charged forward and attacked Percy with his blade while sweeping Percy off his feet and throwing him to the ground, "you may be faster, but I am still a better swordsman."
Percy smirked, "for now." He got up and the two began their mock battle again.
Luke then head butted Percy to the ground. He stepped over him and put his blade over Percy's neck, "here I have this for you," Luke said as he slipped a roll of paper into Percy's pocket without any of the monkeys seeing.
"What is it?"
"The reason Kronos wanted you alive. The reason you were being targeted from day one," Luke explained, "now go, you are wasting time."
"You sure you don't' want to come?"
"Yeah," Luke nodded, "now hit me and escape, you have to make it believable so that Kronos doesn't question my loyalty."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "what?"
"Didn't you hear me? I said hit me."
"I always hear 'hit me' when you're speaking, but that's usually subtext," Percy said as he head butted Luke pushing him off him. He then grabbed him and threw him towards the forest before turning to the sea and running forward with full speed.
Percy actually forgot to harden the surface of the water before hand, but somehow he didn't fall in. 'I must be going so fast I can hit the water before my body is pushed down by gravity.' Percy realised as he raced across the water towards Odysseus ship.
Percy climbed on board panting and exhausted beyond belief.
"You're okay now Percy," Nina said as she enveloped Percy in a blanket.
"No, it's not," Percy said walking to the bow of the ship, "they can still follow us with their own ship. I need to boost our own speed."
"Wait what about Luke?!" Annabeth asked.
Percy sighed, "He didn't want to come."
"What?!"
"He said he needed to stay with them to be our spy," Percy lowering his eyes in regret. He should have trusted Luke sooner, he regretted that, "I tried to convince him but-"
"-Bullshit you did!" Annabeth yelled out.
"Guys we can fight over this later!" Clarisse stepped in, "Percy get us out of here, now!"
Percy nodded and activated his connection to the sea;
You have accessed the power of the sea! You may now control it to varying degrees and also may control vessels or any other items on the sea with great precision!
Percy raised his hands up as suddenly the ship was jerked forward heading straight for Miami.
On the Island;
Luke walked back to the chest area with his head still ringing, 'damn Percy has a hard head.'
As he walked out of the forest and towards the chest he realised something had changed. Hyperion was on his knees bowing, Luke turned to the chest and saw a figure standing on it.
The being was big, bigger than Hyperion. It stood nude in the cold night, the winds didn't affect him at all. He had the body of the perfect man with muscles bulging out and a long flowing beard. His eyes glowed gold like the Golden Fleece that was now tied around his shoulders. The only thing that shattered the image of perfection the being was projecting was his giant grey right arm and left grey leg.
Luke could feel his power all the way from the edge of the forest. Luke's stomach churned, he got a severe case of deja vu, like he had been in this situation before.
