Well... I can't believe this story got 8 reviews, for 1 FREAKING chapter, in less than 24 hours... Is it really that good?
Let's get to the story... (catch-phrase!):
It's story time! Du na na na, na na, na na! Can't touch this! Du na na na, na na, na na! Can't touch this!
Paul grabbed a rail, as did his wife, as the boat rocked as if they were on land during an earthquake. That's a lot of rocking.
"Sally! Where's Percy!?" Paul yelled over the squeaking of the boat, which in retrospect, might just mean: "GET OFF THE BOAT BEFORE YOU DIE, YOU UNBELIEVER!"
"He's under the boat!" Sally yelled back.
"We have to get him out!"
"NO! He's the reason the boat hasn't capsized yet!" How could a fifteen-year-old boy keep a boat from capsizing? Paul wondered.
Then a horrible creature came out of the water. Paul knew teens, and he says they would describe this creature as Shrimpzilla. The thing was basicly a ten-story high shrimp. Paul, his mind turning into Percy's for scary second, wondered if there was a stick and grill large enough for shrimp cabobs...
"Paul! Hit the deck!" Paul looked up, and the shrimp-thing was trying to hit him with his antenea... Strange...
Paul got down just as the antenea hit the rail he was holding. Then another thing came out of the water, as if there was an explosion underwater. But this creature wasn't going to kill Paul or Sally. It was Percy. Paul couldn't believe his eyes. His step-son is riding a wave that stays in one place, holding a sword and hacking away at Shrimpzilla's back.
"Percy!?" Paul screamed. Percy made the mistake of looking over. As soon as he did, the shrimp hit Percy, and he came tumbling down, then landed on deck.
"PERCY!" Paul ran to Percy, but he was getting up, much to Paul, and probably Sally's, relief.
"Percy, are you okay?" Paul asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine... LOOK OUT!" Percy pointed behind Paul. Paul turned, and an antena was about to smack Paul in the face. Percy jumped front of Paul, and swung his sword. Percy destoyed the antena's dream in one swing! How is that possible!?
"Paul, stay behind me." Paul wondered what Percy was doing. As far as he knows, Percy doesn't know a thing about sword fighting. Well he was wrong. Percyknow almost everything about sword fighting! He cut off so many antenea that most of the deck was knee high in the stuff!
"Percy, where did you learn to fight like that?" Paul asked as sson as Percy turned the beast to dust.
"I don't know, honestly. I just... do. I have had lessons though, but I still beat everyone, including the teacher." Percy said. "That lying little traitor!" he added, mumbling.
"And how did you ride the wave?" Paul asked.
"I told you, I the son of Poseidon. I control water, sea animals, earthquakes-"
"Earthquakes!?"
"Yes. Poseidon is the Earthshaker. Anyway, earthquakes, horses, and... that's it, actually."
"Okay. Let me see you talk to a sea animal, or a horse."
"Okay... Rainbow! Come here boy!" Percy screamed off the edge of the boat. Paul thought Percy was nuts, but that was before he saw Rainbow. It was a silver fish from the waist down, and a white horse the rest of the way.
"Hippocampus." was all Percy said before he jumped over the edge, and got on the thing's back. Then another one surfaced.
"Well come on! They won't bite!" Percy yelled.
"Paul, go. Their fun to ride...!" Sally said, causing Paul to jump, and miss the deck, only to land in the water, with Percy pulling him up and onto a hippo-whaty-thingy.
"Come on. Time for a ride...!" Percy said as soon as Paul was situated on the thing's back.
