41Hi guys! Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! This being my first story, it helps to have readers that praise my work. Okay, FYI this story will have lots of bashing. Some of the most prominent being: Percabeth, Annabeth, Jaku, and Poseidon. On to other matters, if someone would like to help with the cover, just take the original and fix it up. It already ties in with my story and just needs a few tweaks, PM me if you have a subscription and I can get you a contact. Okay? Okay. Before we get on with the story, please send this to people you know and R&R! Percy, please do the disclaimer.
Percy: Aura does not own Pokemon or PJO, even though she wishes she could.
CHAPTER 2
The Prince Comes Forth
"Umm… Father?" Athena said, "It is not wise to make the Prince of Seasons wait. He has more power than anyone, even Jaku, can handle. Speaking of the prince, what is his name? We can't just keep calling him "The Prince of Seasons?" Can we?" Everyone, including Snow, nodded. "His name is Morph. And that is all I am allowed to reveal."
Cold. Breathtakingly cold. Colder than death itself. Everything is white, gray and frozen as I lie here on the ground, small snowflakes gathering on my body. The only thing I am thinking right now is: Nico, what did you get yourself into? As I slowly drifted off I felt myself being lifted from the ground, but before I could get a good look at my rescuer, I blacked out. Cold. Breathtakingly cold.
I am beginning to think that talking to the prince is dangerous. No, wait, not talking to him, finding him. The gods that were requested had already met him and were not allowed to take us, let alone tell us where it is. We had all been instructed to come during different seasons. The gods met him in the first summer, then Clarisse disappeared looking for him in fall, Nico was lost in the winter, and Malcom disappeared during his trek in spring. Now it was my turn to go find the prince, one year after he sent the message. It was June 21, the summer solstice, and I had packed my backpack with everything I might need. As I left my cabin my brother and Piper, his girlfriend, ran up to me to wish me luck. I thanked them and made my way to the top of Half-Blood hill. I was about to cross over when they appeared.
"Thalia, why are you going on a mission that you know you'll fail? Just let Jordan do it. He'll figure everything out and come back with this Morph character's head, you know why? Because he's actually worthy of the title, Zeus' son, and the title of Jaku's friend." I was seething now. Ever since she cheated on Percy she acted like she was the god's gift to the world. "Because, Annabeth Mr. Flashy over there couldn't make it halfway, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't invited in the first place. So, why don't you, I don't know, go and suck face with Percy's brother for a while." I was just about to leave when I was stopped. Again! But this time I would be happy to listen. "Little sis, I'd suggest going south along the coasts. It's summer so he'll be somewhere warm." I nodded, "Thank you oh great god Apollo, you are like, hmm..., how would he put this? Awesome?" We both chuckled. With Percy gone, the only thing his friends could do, me included, was either remember the good times, or cry our eyes out. I waved to everyone who had gathered to see me off and my eyes found Jimmy's, the youngest son of Apollo. Jimmy showed up on Half-Blood hill when he was four in the middle of winter. When he made it inside he immediately collapsed and while we treated him, we found an ice-blue snowflake tattooed on his arm that was cold to the touch. But Jimmy wasn't the only one, just the youngest at 4 ½ years old. Soon, other demigods began showing up and they all had similar tattoos. The ones who came in the summer had a yellow sun, fall had an orange leaf, and spring had a pink flower. We expected that this was the work of Morph. Most of the kids couldn't describe the person who saved them, but one said that their rescuer had five different forms, earning his name, morph. I waved to everyone and stepped out. Ready to find this guy and see if he knew anything about Percy.
I was currently lying in the middle of the desert in Arizona with no food, and even worse, no water. I had searched all along the east coast and the border. I was making my way through Arizona when I was attacked, and left for dead. I was just about ready to nod off and let the Vultures have me, when I was lifted from the ground and on to the back of a large animal. I turned my head to see who picked me up, but I was too weak. The last thing I remembered were beautiful golden eyes telling me 'Sleep'.
Zeus was having a bad day. Scratch that, he was having a bad millennia. He had banished the hero of Olympus, half of the council hated him, they had lost four of the greatest half bloods, and there was someone out there who might be more powerful than him. (Gasp). And on top of that, another war was coming. He just didn't know what to do. It had been 1000 years since Percy was banished, and 999 years since the four demigods disappeared looking for Prince Mork of whatever his name was. He and his family were currently in the middle of a heated argument when a voice resounded through the hall. "How are you going to win a war if you can't even stop the fighting amongst yourselves?" Almost immediately, all the arguments ceased and Apollo pulled out his headphones. "Who are you?" Zeus demanded, "And how DARE you interrupt a meeting of the council?" The voice chuckled and in the middle of the room appeared a man dressed all in an all black suit that seemed to have miniature galaxies and stars in motion floating across it. "You see, dear Olympian, I am Chaos. Now-" He was instantly cut off by a large squeal from Aphrodite, "So, are you gonna, like, send your huge army of super yummy warriors and gorgeous commander who we latter find out is Percy? 'Cause that would be like A-Mazing!"
Everyone in the room gave Aphrodite a questioning look even Chaos raised an eyebrow. "What? I read Demigod Fanfiction, and my children are amazing at writing angsty romances." (I just broke the forth wall… and I'm okay with it.) Chaos chuckled, "No, my dear. I do not have an army, and if I did I would be lucky to have young Perseus as my commander. No, it is not I who has an army, but Prince Morph."
"Thalia, Jason, this is your new brother, Jordan. I expect you to treat him nicely and show him the ropes. Not that he'll need it." Thalia and Jason stood there shocked as their father introduced their brother to camp. Not even trying to hide the favoritism in his voice. 'Now I totally understand Percy.' They thought as over the next few weeks he proceeded to try and steal all of their friends and rape Piper. That was where they drew the line though. You do not try to assault Thalia's friend and her little brother's girlfriend. It had taken all of her will power not to kill him, but she and Jason both left him with horrible injuries. Since then, their popularity in camp had taken a plunge, and now it was just Leo, Jason, piper and herself in their little circle of friends. They all missed Percy greatly, and Jordan, Jaku, and Jonnie, (son of Hades), were constantly trying to ruin his legacy and image. They had even gotten her kicked out of the Hunter's when Artemis found Thalia pressed up against a tree with Jonnie's hand up her shirt and mouth on her own. She never had a chance to explain that he had assaulted.
Just when she thought her life couldn't be worse, it got better. Jimmy came. Thalia had just started her watch when the small boy came stumbling into camp, going on and on about how winter had helped him find this place and about how the Prince would help him after he reached his potential here. Thalia had taken a liking to the son of Apollo immediately, and he looked to he as a mother figure. It had hurt so much to leave him, but he soon fulfilled the words that he said when they first met.
"Prince Morph? He wants to help us? Well, I'm glad he finally understood that he's no match for us and decided to send us his forces to be trained. Oh, well. I guess we can have the immortal heroes train them. They might not be the best, but it'll do." Chaos looked at Zeus for a while and burst out laughing. When he noticed the uncomfortable expressions on the Olympians faces, he stood up and straightened his tie. "Oh. You were serious. Well. Let's put the Prince's forces on scale with yours. Each of the lowest ranking recruits can take out the 'immortal heroes' with little to no training. The Warriors can each face all of, at once, with almost no trouble. The Higher-ranking warriors can each face most of the titans, and win. The Elite 4, commanders of each sector, can face at least 3 primoridals, on a bad day, and emerge victorious. The Prince's inner circle, on the other hand, can take them all out. The Prince, well, let's just say that in a few years, I might not be the most powerful anymore." The Olympians sat, silent on their thrones as they soaked in this declaration of power. Apollo then stood and made his opinion known. "I don't know about the rest of the gods that came with me to see Morph, but I'd like to see him again." Nods of consent could be seen from the people that had visited him. "Well," Chaos said, "Why don't we call him?"
I was sparring with justice when my past caught up to me.
I had recently finished my sparring with Honor and when I was done I launched into my next training session immediately. I was about to finish up when an Iris message appeared in between us. Thankfully, Justice stopped before he destroyed the connection. "Lord Chaos," I said and bowed to the creator. "Oh stop Morph. You know I hate bowing. And what's with the 'lord' crap? Honestly. Oh, by the way, I have come in contact with four beings, said that they wanted to become stronger and help you. Do you happen to know a Space, Time, Reverse and Ozone?" I nodded. We had become good friends and I invited them to join me as equals, but they refused and instead decided to become some of my 'pets' when they were ready.
"Good. Now, I expect that the status of my friends was not the real reason you called. By the way, where are you? I don't think that looks like the Void. It looks similar to – No. Please tell me you're not there with her." Chaos grinned sheepishly and laughed. "Yeah I am. I request that you join me and bring them with you. I have contacted the four and they will join with you here. Better to answer most questions at once. Am I right?" I slowly nodded. "You're lucky I respect you. If you were anyone else the only thing left would be the echo of a scream and a small pile of ash." Chaos nodded and I swiped through the message. "Justice, please call Wind, Bud, Ice and Heat. Tell them to get ready. They can ride the lieutenants, because we're making one heck of an entrance."
"Okay Olympians! He'll be here soon along with some of his warriors." Athena chose then to open her mouth. "Why did he sound like he hated this place? I don't think we've met him before. And who is this 'her'? What did she do to make him hate us and this place so much?" Chaos sighed. "He was formerly a demigod. I can't tell you anything else. That's his story to tell. But I will tell you this, there was a prophecy made long ago, before the Great prophecy that changed the world. This prophecy is the most important and concerns several things happening now, in the future, and in the past." Athena straightened. "Can you tell us what it says?' Chaos nodded in confirmation and pulled out a small scroll that looked millions of years old and began to read.
" The Hero in Blue emerges with power, coming to peak in the final hour.
From betrayal his pain stems, a sword of change, his sword of gems.
Revenge in purest form shall reap, from the mother in eternal sleep.
Time has changed and follows another, the one betrayed by a brother.
Hear now and listen close, to the sound of battle you fear the most.
Warmth prevails through the cold of death, and new life comes on fall's first breath."
"Well, I think that clears that up, now onto another pressing matter, Lord Chaos why did yo-"
As soon as the words left his mouth Zeus spotted a beautiful golden portal emerge in the middle of the room.
"Well. I hope we're not interrupting anything." Said a young man who had emerged from the portal. With the man were four other people riding on what appeared to be stags, and several creatures. All the female goddesses eyes were drawn to the young man in front of them. He had messy blue hair that fell into his beautiful golden eyes and sharp angular features that one could only describe as regal. He was tall, coming to about six foot four and seemed to be very muscular. He was currently wearing a mostly blue outfit that seemed fit for one of the musketeers, consisting of a long blue cape like jacket, gray pants, and blue boots. On top of his head he wore a blue and gray hat with two golden horns. Strapped to his side was a sword in a brown leather holster with a golden hilt. (If you want to see what this looks like, go to this link: ?i=1657 and look at the one in the middle.) The four people with him were all dressed differently. "Allow me to introduce Ice," he said, pointing to another young man. He was dressed in black jeans and a black shirt with an ice blue fox on the front. He also had messy black hair speckled with snowflakes, icy steel blue eyes, and was around 6' 1". The most startling things about him were his black blade, and the tattoo on his left arm. The sword was black but had veins of ice traveling along it. The sword radiated cold and the hilt looked to be made of ice as well. His tattoo was an ice blue snowflake that glowed with power, tattooed where the roman SPQR would be. "Wind," He pointed to a girl with long orange hair and brown eyes. She seemed about 6' tall. Various laves and acorns were woven into her hair creating some sort of crown and her hair seemed to flow in the wind even when there was no breeze. Wind was wearing a knee length gossamer dress that seemed to change colors from gold, to red, to yellow, to brown and back again. She was carrying a spear made from dark oak wood. The bronze spearhead was fashioned to look like a leaf and an unknown power flitted around the top. The girl had a similar tattoo on her left arm, except instead of a snowflake, she had an orange leaf. "Bud," he pointed to another young man. This one was shorter, around 5' 11". He had short dirty blond hair and grass green eyes. He was wearing khaki cargo pants and a green tee shirt along with brown work boots. He was holding a short gold dagger and tattooed on his left arm was a green rabbit. (You have no idea how hard it is to make spring manly) "And last but not least, Sun." The man finished and pointed at a beautiful girl radiating power. "It's summer right now so she has more power than the others." The girl in question was about 6' tall and had long black hair with gold and yellow streaks. Her eyes were a piercing sky blue, and they looked like they had clouds drifting through them. She was wearing short blue jean shorts and a white tank top with a red sun in the middle. She had a pair of black sunglasses on her head and in her had was a beautiful golden bow that radiated heat, and tattooed on her arm was a glowing golden sun. The boy in the middle sighed and transformed his hair and clothing, turning his clothes similar to Ice's, and his hair shaggy black. His piercing golden eyes stayed the same and the Olympians could now see the symbol tattooed on the inside of his left arm. It was a silver phoenix with one feather for each of the colors on the four's tattoos, and it glowed with subtle but amazing power. "Hello Olympians. My name, is Prince Morph and these are my loyal companions," He said gesturing to the creatures in the room. "Justice," he said, pointing to a blue horse like creature with golden horns. (Guess who these are) "Virtue," he said gesturing once again to a horse like animal, but this time towards a green animal that appeared to be wearing boots similar to the first's. "Honor," He gestured towards a brown animal with bull like horns. "Peace," he then gestured to a small unicorn with a long red mane and three feathers, one orange, one blue, and one green. "Truth," He pointed to a large white dragon, "Ideals," he pointed at a dragon similar to the first, but black and more, masculine. "Boundaries," this time he pointed at a large gray dragon with wings of ice, "And finally, Victory." He finished, pointing towards an adorable rabbit like creature with small wings and orange V-shaped ears. "Now, before the other four get here, is there anything you want to discuss?" Zeus nodded. "Yes. It has become apparent that you think you are stronger than me. I challenge you to a duel." Morph opened his mouth to reply, but was cut of by four large roars echoing through the room. "That will have to wait. They're here."
Whew. Finally got that one done. Leave your guesses on the identities of the animals in your reviews. If you don't know, review anyway! I could allways use new help or advice, so don't be afraid to send in suggestions! This is Aura, signing of. (For now.) R&R!
