Percy Jackson and The Olympians:Half-Blood Struggle[PG-13] [Accepting via PM,Started]

[Jakeronijo]

"Not a big sword?" Now brian was pissed it wasn't even a sword! He pressed a button and in the blink of an eye had stolen the finger print of nikki right of her hand and hermes who was somewhere over the bermuda triangle. The alkahest blade flashed before Wayne "Still want to take a chance kid?" Brian asked giving him a death glare. "You'd be lucky if this ONLY maimed you."

[Corvidae]

'Don't kill me. They already want to.' Wayne pleaded. Then, he crawled, unseen by Harry, under a bed, and then climbed up to the underside, effectively clinging to the underside of the bunk, and was completely unnoticable by anyone who wasn't looking up while they were under the bed. I hope this works. He thought nervously.

 

Nikki then walked into Hermes cabin, and saw Harry. 'What are you doing in here?' She asked. 'You look more like Dionysus than Hermes. And Brian, is there a reason you're using the Alkahest blade?' Then, she walked over and tripped. She fell to the floor, right next to Wayne, then slid her ring under the bed and breathed, 'Put it on.' extremely quietly. Wayne, who's ear was right by her, barely heard her. He obliged, and was suddenly invisible.

[Luna Lovegood]

"I'm just trying to kill a little rat. And who were you taking to?" Harry ignored the sword. He knew that, if need be, he could equal the blades mite. "I am Dionysus' son. Oh, and he says he might cancel the canoe races this saturday. No reason behind. But whatever." He decided the sword was bugging him. "And put that sword away, you don't want to fight me." he said. And this was true. Harry was one of the best fighters at camp.

[Jakeronijo]

The blade blinked and shimmered away after blinking red. "What the? Yea i was just teaching this kid a lesson. Why'd it go away? I was sure i got Nikki's finger print. But what if?... Brian put his phone in his pocket and apologized to nikki. "Come Here" he said grabbing the kid. "You can't be in here!" Brian was really upset.

[Corvidae]

'You can't beat Brian.' Nikki insisted. 'Not while he's wielding that sword. Do you know what Alkahest is, Harry?'

 

'Thanks for nothing!' Wayne shouted, then he struggled out of Brian's grip, ran past Harry and out the door, invisible via Nikki's ring.

 

Dante, his pack loaded with almost everything he'd need, went over to the Athena cabin to see if they knew where Brian was. Nikki was sitting cross-legged on her bed.

'Hello, Dante.' She greeted him cooly, as if she had been expecting him.

'Nikki.' He replied. 'Where's Brian?'

'His cabin. You should really check somebody's room before you ask someone where they are.'

[Jakeronijo]

Brian wasn;t going to fight anyone and nodded at harry before lying back on his bed. "You two should leave, Im not as hospitable as my father and i really want some rest. And harry, kill that brat brother of yours for me he got mud on my face. Brian said before putting some music on his phone and trying to go to sleep.

[Luna Lovegood]

"Ni idea. I don't care either. I'd just deal with him the way I deal with everyone else." he cracked his knuckles for emphasis. He turned and followed the smaller boy. What kind of power could that sword have? he wondered. He felt slightly nervous, so snapped his fingers. A small vine sprouted from the ground, comforting him. He knew he still had his power, and could defend himself against anyone who challenged him

[Corvidae]

But Wayne had dissapeared, using Nikki's ring to hide invisibly on the pavilion.

 

'Alkahest is a universal solvent,' Nikki was saying, following Harry out. 'It's also a universal medicine. It can destroy anything, or heal anything. Brian can heal his damage, and turn your weapon into a pile of scrap metal. You have no chance against the wielder of an Alkahest weapon. Not without an army. The previous owner put up a good fight, and we only beat him because he was as pathetically unintelligent as his father, Ares.' But water is also something of a solvent... So if the Axe was in the Lethe it would be weakened drastically, alkahest and water being opposites... Making it even harder to locate...

 

Titin started heading to the nearby mortal town, hunger ruling his mind. He was ragged and weak; hunger had sapped his strength, weakened as it was. So, he broke into a mortal restaurant, ate all the food he could, stole all of the money, and left, smashing plenty of things on his way out, his hunger satisfied. Now then, He thought. To Camp Half-Blood. Ha ha ha!!

[Luna Lovegood]

"An army," Harry said, 'is exactly how I fight my fights." And with that, he walked off, towards the small boy. He muttered something, and a green figure seemed to slink out of the shadows. This figure fell in step with Harry. He turned a corner, and vanished from Nikki's view. He released the vines from his control, letting them return to their earthly home. This had greatly exhausted him. But with the sword of Dionysus, he would be able to create an army. And he would help, for once.

[Corvidae]

'I like a challenge. Not that you'll be one.' Nikki walked over to the lake, and greeted Diana. Then, an invisible figure appeared behind Harry, and swiftly ran the flat of her dagger down Harry's arm, the acidic centaur blood immediately inducing an extremely painful burning sensation. The figure disappeared without a trace less than half a second later. Nicely done. Nikki thought, using the empathy link. 'Course it was. We did it, was her reply. The person who replied, was Nikki.

[Jakeronijo]

Brian woke up after being fully recharged. The underworld! His brain rang out. Must find weapon. entranced in a way. Brian puled out his phone, it turn into a sword with each part coming out. "We need to go." He said storming from the Hermes cabin and running around camp so it seemed like he was in multiple places at once. Dante, Nikki, Jetch,and Harry saw him at the same time. "It'll take an army to get that next weapon, you guys will suffice." He said.

[Luna Lovegood]

Harry was burned, and there was nothing he could do about it. He ran to the Bog House screaming in pain. Chrion galloped out and brought him inside. He used magic to render Harry unconscious, so that he wouldn't feel the pain. He woke up soon afterwards, the pain having severely lessened. "Who did this to you?" asked Chrion.

"I," he weezed in pain, "don't know. They were invisible." At this point, Mr. D ran into the room. He may have been apathetic, but he defended his family.

"Someone will be expelled from camp for this." he said.

[Corvidae]

ooc: Nobody expelled the Stolls for burning Pheobe the hunter with centaur blood in book 3.

IC: Nikki got up. 'Let's go. I intend to get that Axe before Luke.' Then she grabbed some supplies. A bag of ambrosia, and a canteen of nectar. 'To the underworld! I'd bring my dagger and ring, but they were stolen some time yesterday. I'll have to ask the Stolls. They'll probably know who took them. But as it is, can anyone lend me at least a knife? I'd rather be useful than not.'

 

Dante awoke as well, saying 'I've already packed. I'm ready. Let's go. After breakfast.' He added.

 

Titin then passed the borders and entered camp. Unnoticed, this time. 'Now you're gonna get it.' He sneered.

[Luna Lovegood]

OoC:

They don't like the Hunter much, and nobody actually proved that.

IC

"Dad, I'm OK, really. It's just Centaur' blood. I'll be fine." Dionysus was seething. His children always seemed to be getting in trouble. Especially Harry. There was something wrong with Harry, something that stemmed from the fact that Dionysus couldn't remember who his mother was. He tried at many points, but it was a piece of information that eluded him. It was as though someone had used magic to make him forget, but who was powerful enough to make a god forget?

[ArtemisFowl]

Jecht saw Brian running around after he had gathered a few specific items and shoving them into an old bookbag. "Hey, hey what's wrong? I guess its time to go then." He said trying to follow Brian as the others gathered around ready to leave the camp for gods know how long. He had his double edged sword, bow, and quiver of arrows on his back. "To the underworld!" He said his spirits up not knowing what layed ahead of them. "But it'll be a long trip to get to L.A."

[Luna Lovegood]

Harry decided that he could use something to drink. He pulled out his cub and it immediately filled with Diet Coke.

"So you have the Cup of Dionysus." said a voice from the door way. It was Chiron.

"It has a name?" he asked, astounded that his cup was anything special.

"It has a name. And a history. That cup has played a very influential role in history. If anyone but Dionysus or his children drinks from it, the become intoxicated. It wins wars." Chiron was perfectly serious about that

[Theseus]

((Chiron's gone, Luna))

 

Brandon hacked and slashed at dummy after dummy, making a pile of their very small leftovers, hoping for someone to be able to make more over the year to come. He had decided, and told Mr. D, that he would be staying year-round, but that was a tentative plan. He would come and go as he pleased, since the camp was no longer safer than the outside world, as long as Amethyst couldn't go.

 

"Her aura attracts everyone, including monsters," Brandon explained to Mr. D, who had looked curious at the offer, "And if she's here, that would mean she's safer than being unprotected, without a weapon out there. She's got a very powerful power, that could endanger any quest."

[Luna Lovegood]

OoC: Ooops, then that was Tantalus.

Ic: "But its just a glass? What can a glass do against an army?" asked Harry. He was astounded that his glass could be anything more useful then just that; a glass.

"You underestimate the power of wine. I have not tasted it for years, but I still remember its power. Once you are intoxicated, your mind does not function properly. It turns your fighting warrior into a useless drunkard. That glass is more powerful then you can imagine."

[Theseus]

Brandon walked in on the scene, looking strangely at the cup and then to Tantalus, who was eying it like Brandon would a priceless sword, as he fingered his ring, which became Ilitheia when he took it off his finger.

 

Brandon looked at Harry ((OOC: named after Harry Potter?)), then to the cup, which could have been a weapon. "You, son of Dionysus, have drank from that cup?" Brandon asked, hearing the last part of Tantalus' speech.

[Luna Lovegood]

"Of course." said Harry. ((Off course I named him after Harry Potter))

Tantalus eyed the cup like he knew something about it. "Tantalus?" asked Harry tentatively. "Is there something else about that glass?"

"No, no. Of course not." he said shiftily. Harry realized something.

"Give that back!" Harry said, snatching the cup.

[Theseus]

"That's Dionysus' cup!" Brandon said, backing up a bit as if it might get him intoxicated by its presence, but he eyed Tantalus wearily. He turned to Harry, "Where'd you get that cup from anyway, Harry?"

 

Amethyst was roaming around the camp, blending in to different activities as the day went, not really finding any of them too fun, but whenever she went to a new camp activity, everyone would crowd around her until she told them to back off. "Gosh, guys," she said, pushing her way to the front of the archery range, "You'd think you'd be able to control yourselves. You're like animals!"

[Luna Lovegood]

"Where do you think? Dionysus! He gave it to me when I got here. Why? What's so special about a cup?" Harry was really worried. He'd thought it was a simple cup with, like, an anti-buglary feature. Now it turned out to be some awesome cup with magical powers beyond what he knew? Harry was very confused at this point, and the arrival of Mr D didn't help out.

"Ahh, Tantalus, I see you've noticed my cup"

[Theseus]

"Mr. D!" Brandon yelled, looking at Dionysus with a shocked look on his face, "Giving such a powerful item to your child! Gods aren't supposed to favor their children, especially giving them such powerful magical items. And you give Harry your cup? The gods are going to be in a rage when they find out!"

 

Brandon sounded like an angry adult and Mr. D was a child who had stolen some candy from the store. Brandon went on about what the gods might do, and Mr. D retorted with, "Whatever it is, it's probably easier than listening to your lectures, Brandon. I'm the all-powerful god here, remember?"

 

Brandon phased back to reality, looking at the cup worriedly, "But really, your cup?"

[Luna Lovegood]

"I have spares." said Mr D. "And anyways, since when have i done what I was told?"

"Could someone PLEASE tell me what's so special about this cup? I mean, its pretty ordinary looking."

And he was right. The cup was like a mug at the moment. It was about 6 inches tall and 3 wide. It had no patterns or anything. Harry had never come across it in legends either.

[Theseus]

Brandon sighed and slumped back in his chair, looking at Dionysus, and Tantalus who was standing behind him, licking his lips at the cup, even though he knew he wouldn't be able to drink from it without being intoxicated, and the cup would most likely slide away from him if he tried to jump for it.

 

"Mr. D," Brandon sighed one last time, "Dionysus, the gods will be very displeased. You think punishment is being sent to earth to baby these brats, no offense, Harry, for a century? I can't wait to see what your father cooks up for this one. Just explain it to your son."
