Road Trip

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson, nor Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does

Percy's POV:

I snapped my eyes open, only to find myself in the center of a volcano. I looked around and spotted a normal sized Wofrium cauldron on a stone platform in the center of the magma. I walked over to it and saw that it was filled with water.

'What the hell...' I muttered to myself and I reached out to try and touch the cauldron

However, my hand went straight through the metal and I pulled my hand back in shock.

'Okay, this is a dream' I say calmly as I hear someone walk into the room

I turn around and see a man wearing the standard issue guardian training armor walking calmly toward the cauldron carrying a bouquet of Moonlace flowers and a chunk of a black metal that was tinted a dark red in spots.

"This should do it..." I heard the man say and I suddenly realize that I'm having a vision from the past, a memory that I hadn't recovered until now "If my assumptions are correct, then if I combine the power of blooming moonlace to the power of Wofrium, I'll be able to create a new metal" I heard past me mutter to himself as he stopped in front of the cauldron and quickly set the Wofrium on the ground

I watched in fascination as a stone table rose from the ground next to the cauldron and past me put the Moonlace on it gently. Past me then pulled out a scroll and unrolled it before silently reading from it. I walked over to a spot where I could read the scroll and I was astonished to see a few simple steps on how to create Aieon metal. Past me quickly put the scroll down as he picked the Wofrium up and put it in the cauldron which was bubbling slightly.

"Step one: Put Wofrium into the cauldron and let it soften for 3 minutes" Past me said as he picked up the Moonlace and chanted a small incantation in Greek

'Flowers of full moon's glow, release your sacred power, show me your ancient light' I translated easily and I watched as the blooming Moonlace started to glow brightly

I watched as I put the now glowing flowers into the cauldron and used my water powers to stir it slowly.

Thirty minutes later, I saw that the water was glowing silver and I watched as I reached into the cauldron and pulled out a lump of pure Aieon metal.

"I can't wait to tell Phoenix about this!" I said happily as the dream faded out and I opened my eyes to see the top of my cabin

~

I sat up, looked around my cabin and noticed that Nico, Bianca, Thalia, and Tyson were all sleeping in their respective beds. I slowly got out of bed and after making sure I still had my gear on, I snuck outside and looked at the moon which was around three days until full.

'Percy, why the hell are you up so early' I heard Instinct complain as he woke up slowly due to my activity

'I just had a dream, and I think it means that we need to create something for someone' I thought back and Instinct looked over my dream before whistling

'Agreed, I think I remember where that volcano is, it was somewhere in the Mediterranean, completely hidden from the gods' Instinct responded as I flicked my hood up and cloaked myself before walking to the Demeter cabin and spotting a large clump of Moonlace

'I hope they don't get angry that we took about ten Moonlace...' I say to Instinct who nods

I quietly walk over to the bed of Moonlace and quickly pick a bouquet of ten flowers. I then walked quickly out of the flowerbed and over to the beach where I will my bow into a backpack before slinging it off and carefully putting the flowers in it and putting it back on where it turns back into my bow.

'Where are we going to get the Wofrium?' Instinct asks and I ponder for a moment before a thought strikes me

'Didn't Chaos toss a whole two sets of Wofrium onto earth as a contest? Like whoever found the large deposit could do whatever they wanted with it' I respond to Instinct who snaps his fingers

'Yeah, but how do we know no one found it?' Instinct asked and I smirked

'Well, no one has a full set of Wofrium gear now do they? And we were in Hephaestus' palace and there was no Wofrium items there apart from a few things' I explained as Instinct smiled

I knelt down next to the water of the lake and placed my hand in the water and spread my senses out. I felt the entirety of Earth's Oceans at my finger tips and I smiled as I started my search for the Wofrium. I thought that if it landed in the ocean then I could find it easily. After a few minutes of searching I felt the familiar power signature of Wofrium and I smiled, but I quickly frowned as I found where it was located.

'The Marina Trench?' Instinct asked incredulously

'Challengers deep to be exact' I pointed out and we both groaned 'Well, let's get going, we need to get to the trench and then get to the volcano with the Wofrium by moon rise in a few days'

With that I turned around and focused as I started sprinting at full speed making sure not to leave a silver trail behind me. I raced out of camp and in moments I was zooming down a highway at speeds that would make supersonic jets jealous. Within half an hour I reached the west coast, but I didn't slow down as I started running on water. I looked behind me and noticed a large wake where I was at but I just sighed and kept running, racing past fishing vessels and even an Aircraft Carrier.

'This is how those alien stories come about Percy, guardians fucking around because their either bored or they don't care if they are seen really' Instinct muttered and I laughed aloud

'You mean its Phoenix who normally fucking around because he has nothing else better to do half the time' I respond and Instinct concedes

'Yeah, your right, it is Phoenix 99% of the time' Instinct says as we reach the trench and I suddenly dive into the water and quickly will it to push me down into the underwater canyon

As I got deeper into the trench it got darker until it was pitch black. I uncloaked and I started channeling a bit of energy causing my eyes to glow a bright silver allowing us to see, even if it was limited to a few feet. I finally hit the bottom of the trench but I could tell we weren't at Challengers deep.

'Ugh, we have to go about a mile south before we reach Challengers deep' I said as I had the water propel us at incredible speeds down the length of the trench making sure to dodge rocks that came up suddenly 'Ugh, the pressure is insane' I complain meekly as I spun out of the way of a rock only to have to spin back to avoid being concussed by a rock that was sticking out in my way

Soon I reached a drop off and I hardly blinked as I dove off the edge and sped down the slope for another mile. When I reached the bottom, I sent out my senses and felt a large chunk of 'something' in the middle of the area.

'There you are, no wonder no one could find it, no one could get down here, hell I doubt Poseidon could get down here and survive for longer than a few minutes before having to flash away' I commented as I launched forward at a smooth pace

'Uh... Percy look behind you...' Instinct said suddenly and I turned around and saw the largest great white shark ever

'Shit, a Megalodon...' I cursed under my breath as the ancient shark towered over me

'Who are you and why do you disturb the creatures of this trench' the shark asked in an ancient voice

"I am Percy Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon" I say and the Shark swims around me studying me

'You are much more than a son of Poseidon, you have much power, power that rivals the gods' the shark says and I shrug

"Who knows, but I apologize for disturbing the trench" I say honestly "I just wanted to grab something that was lost down here ages ago" I explain

'Ahhh, yes, you seek the meteor that struck this trench' It says with a tone of amusement 'Why do you want such a rock? It has no value'

"Actually, it does, it's known as Wofrium and it is the strongest metal known to the gods" I say and the Shark looks at me

'Very well, you may take it' he says before he looks at me 'On one condition'

"Name it" I say calmly

'My mate, the last female megalodon, has been trapped behind a wall of fallen rocks nearby, I do not have a way to free her, if you free her then you may take the 'Wofrium'' he says and I nod

"Of course, we will have her freed in no time flat" I say as I propel myself toward the wall where I feel the entrance of a cave

'There it is' Instinct said as we approached the wall and I saw a bunch of collapsed rocks blocking the cave

I will water to condense for a minute before I launch it out, expecting it to break the rocks, however the rock held fast and I growled.

'Yes, the rocks down here are far more resilient than the ones on the surface' The megalodon stated

'I have an idea...' Instinct said and I mentally motioned him to go on 'Why don't we get a run up, will some water into an ice drill, while you focus on spinning, I'll focus on keeping the ice intact as we drill our way through' he explained and I smirked

I launched up and willed the water to push us half way across the area before I turned around and started spinning, using my speed ability to make it so I was spinning far faster than what was considered safe. Instinct froze water into a drill like shape as I held my hands out above my head. I willed the water to launch us forward as fast as possible and I slammed into the rocks.

'Well, that is interesting' I heard the shark comment but I pushed the comment off to the side deciding that focusing on spinning was more important

A few hours later the last rock that blocked the cave broke and I immediately stopped spinning and instinct's ice drill broke into shards. As soon as we stopped another Megalodon swam out and over to the first.

'Thank you, son of Poseidon, for saving her, you may take the Wofrium and leave in peace' The shark said as he and his mate swam off

I wasted no time in swimming over to the Wofrium and latching onto it. I then called upon all my strength and willed the currents around me to gather up and help push the metal up and out of the ground where it was embedded. The entire thing was roughly two yards in diameter and weighed tones under the pressure of the trench.

'HOLY SHIT!!' Instinct said as we slowly made our way out of Challengers deep and up the trench, the Wofrium getting lighter as we ascended

'What are we going to use for a string?' I asked and Instinct mentally shrugged

'Let's worry about how were going to carry this when we breach the surface' Instinct said and I paled a little

"Right" I muttered

After another half, an hour of struggling to exit the trench, we finally made it to the edge where I set the large chunk of Wofrium down and sat next to it to rest. Once rested, I stood up and swam around the Wofrium looking for any way to get it into a smaller area. Instinct appeared next to me and we both looked at it.

"We could just say screw it and try to put it in our bow bag..." Instinct said and I nodded

"Yeah, let's get the obvious answer out of the way so we don't look like idiots" I admitted as I willed my bow into a backpack and open it

Suddenly the Wofrium started shaking before it shrunk and was sucked into the bag causing both Instinct and myself to go wide eyed. We stood there like that for a good fifteen minutes before I started laughing.

"Okay, we should have expected that, honestly" I commented as Instinct shook his head in amusement as he shimmered away

I closed the bag and slung it onto my back where it turned back into a bow and I willed the water to launch us toward the surface. In a matter of minutes, I reached the surface and flew through the air for a moment. Once my feet hit the water, however, I sprinted forward as I cloaked again and ran across Australia and into Asia.

'We have a few hours before we only have two days until the full moon, I'm up for a road trip' Instinct said and I smiled as I slowed down in front of a shop in India

I uncloaked and walked to the street where I fished my Wofrium coin out and tossed it onto the ground where it started expanding until my motorcycle was complete. I snapped my fingers and my clothes shifted into a black leather jacket, I opened up a saddle bag and pulled a pair of fingerless black leather gloves and a pair of sunglasses. I put the gloves on, then put the sunglasses on before jumping onto the motorcycle and starting the engine up and revving it a few times. I noticed a good number of girls turn and stare at me causing their boyfriends, if they had them, to glower at me. I smirked as I took off down the road disobeying the speed limit as I would just swerve through traffic.

'Put on some music dude!' Instinct said and I flicked the radio on and smiled as 'Life is a highway' came on

'What's going on?' Delphi asked as she finally woke up

'We're on a road trip from India to the Mediterranean' I responded to Delphi who squealed like an over excited teenager

'Can I ride on the back? I can shift my appearance to look like you but I always wanted to ride on the back of a motorcycle!' Delphi asked and I laughed

'Sure' Instinct said and I felt a presence behind me and Instinct showed me an image of Delphi with golden blond hair with a bandana on her forehead, a leather jacket, black pants, black boots and sunglasses

~Meanwhile back at Camp~

Thalia's POV:

"WHERE THE HADES DID HE GO!!!" I yelled as everyone started freaking out and searching the whole camp and forest for Percy

I glared at Phoenix as he sat on a tree branch polishing his sword.

"How should I know where he went? I can't track someone who doesn't a trail" Phoenix said with a knowing smirk and I let out a frustrated yell "Calm down Thalia, he will be back, just give him time"

I stormed off to the big house where Shane was trying to Iris message him.

"Any luck with Phoenix?" Shane asked and I shook my head

"You?" I asked and she sighed

"Perseus, where did you go" Shane and I said in sync as we continued searching for him

Percy's POV:

"SIR ON THE MOTORCYCLE!!! PULL OVER!!! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!!!" A heavily accented voice said from the helicopter above us and I looked behind us and gave them the 'Bring it' gesture

I turned back forward and I revved the engine and it roared before we shot down the road. Suddenly 'So What' by Pink started playing and Delphi, Instinct, and I laughed as I started to hear gunshots. I swerved and willed a faint silver shield to block the shots as I sped up to well over a hundred and fifty miles an hour.

Several hours passed as we kept driving. The authorities gave up after they realized they couldn't get us to stop no matter what method they used. We drove into the night and I had Instinct take over so I could get some rest.

The next morning, I took control and we kept driving and I realized we were in Greece.

'Instinct... how?' I asked mentally

'I used our speed to make we got to the volcano on time' Instinct said before he promptly passed out and I decided to drive through Delphi, then head to Athens to look at the old battle field.

Several hours passed and we made a quick stop in Delphi so we could check out the old oracle chambers before we headed to Athens. When we reached the outskirts, I slowed down and parked the motorcycle in a field that I recognized as the battle field of the first Giant war.

"It... looks so different..." I muttered as I walked around recalling where the giants were

"Sir, you can't be here! This area is strictly off limits!" A man said as he ran over and stopped in front of me

"Why is it off limits?" I asked

"It's the site of an archeological dig! Myths state that a large battle happened here. So, we are going to start digging today and we hope to find bodies of fallen combatants or armor or weapons that were used during the battle" The man says excitedly and I walk over to a spot and I tense up

'This is where...' Instinct said quietly and I nodded

"Sir, I am going to have to ask you to leave..." The man said and I shook my head

"Give me a second and I think I can help you with your dig..." I say distractedly as I start measuring steps until I'm a few meters away and I dig a little hole into the ground "May I have a shovel?" I ask and the guy who looks conflicted in getting help and making me go away gives in and runs off only to return with a shovel that he gives to me

"What are you expecting to find sir?" The man asks eagerly

I don't respond as I start digging, I dig a large hole until I'm several yards below the surface and I notice a glint of rusted metal and I rub my chest as a ghost pain appears. I quickly dig around the object to reveal a large spear and I gently haul it out of the ground where the man was jumping around excitedly. He took the spear and his eyes lit up like the fourth of July.

"This must be a godly weapon! It HAS to be! Look at how large it is!" The man exclaimed but I shook my head solemnly

"It's the spear that belonged to Leon, the giant that was born to oppose Apollo" I say as I look at the spear head which was covered in rust, I knew the spearhead was covered in blood, my blood

"How did you know where this was?" The man asks and I look at him

"I had a dream a while back, like a lucid dream, one that showed me the battle" I said fabricating a lie easily

"Well, I thank you sir, what is your name? So, I may give you credit for this find" The man says as he puts the spear down and pulls out a note pad

"My name, is Percy Achilles Jackson" I say with a small internal smirk

'Talk about Irony, the very person who was killed by that very spear gets credit for finding it' Instinct said and I smiled

"Well, Mr. Jackson, would you be willing to assist in identifying items we find on this field?" the man asks

"Sure, but I am only here for a few more days, then I need to head back to the states, however, I can give you my skype name so I can identify them then, but don't call me until you've found a good eleven things" I say and the man nods as he hands me the note pad

I write down a fake Skype name and I hand the note pad back to the man before walking over to my motorcycle and taking off. I drive to the Mediterranean and drive into the sea where I press a button and the motorcycle shrinks to a coin again.

I put the coin in my pocket as I willed my clothes back to normal and I shot off down to the bottom of the sea searching for the volcano. I searched everywhere where I thought a Volcano would be but found nothing.

"WHERE IS IT!!!!" I yelled in frustration as I punched a rock and a sliver light expanded from the center of the rock until the silver light traveled to a good-sized hill and a door opened "You have to be kidding me"

I swam through the door and it closed behind me and I felt the water being drained and I followed the tunnel that was slanted down slightly until I reached a boiling caldera. There was a path in the magma that lead to a circular area of stone that held a single object in the center. The cauldron from the dream.

I felt Instinct shimmer into view and Delphi did the same. We walked down the path and up to the cauldron and a stone table lifted up from the ground and I willed my bow into a backpack, opened it, and gently pulled the Moonlace out and set them on the stone table, I then turned the backpack upside down and the two-yard-wide chunk of Wofrium fell out with a loud thud.

"How are we going to cut it to fit in the cauldron?" Instinct asked and I summoned Lunar's Light

"The old-fashioned way" I said as I channeled energy into the blade and started slicing until I had the right amount to put into the cauldron

I looked up as I put the seven pieces of Wofrium on the stone table and I looked at the sky and saw it was night time yet not a full moon.

"One more day" I said as I sat down and waited, Instinct and Delphi coping my action

~One day later~

I opened my eyes as I stood up and noticed that the cauldron was bubbling slightly and I smiled. I looked at the table and saw a long silver bow string and I frowned.

"I must have left it the last time I was here" I say aloud as I hear Instinct and Delphi wake up

"We ready Percy?" Instinct asks and I nod as I pick a piece of Wofrium up and put in the cauldron

I look up at the sky and see the full moon shining down and I pick the bouquet up and hold it close to my mouth.

"Λουλούδια γεμάτα φως του φεγγαριού, απελευθερώστε την ιερή σας δύναμη, δείξτε μου το αρχαίο φως σας" I recited and the flowers started to glow brightly and I placed them gently in the cauldron and started stirring the water using my powers

Thirty minutes pass and I pull the metal out and I smile as I see the Aieon metal ready to be molded into the perfect weapon. On a hunch, I grip the metal with one hand and mime using a bow and to my astonishment the metal willingly forms into a beautiful bow that for some reason didn't feel right in my hands but I knew the metal knew that the bow wouldn't be for me. The metal solidified and cooled instantly as I grabbed the silver cord and strung the bow with practiced ease. Once the bow was complete I held it to my lips and said a few incantations that allowed the weapon to return to its owner if it was lost.

"It looks purer than Lunar's Light..." Instinct said and I nodded as I summoned lunars light and had an idea

I dropped the crescent blade into the cauldron, after a few moments I take it out and saw that the blade was pure and I smiled.

"Now we just need to gather up that magical water so we can purify Arty's blade" Instinct said and I chuckled

Delphi rolled her eyes but smiled as I dug through my bag to try and find a bottle of some sorts. I find a water bottle and I uncap it before I chug the water. I then will the water in the cauldron out of the container and into the bottle where I cap it again.

"Alright" I say as I look at the other materials and smile "We will have to come back at a later date if we want to make more. But for now, let's head home" I finished as I slung my pack onto my back and it turned into my bow and quiver I then slung the Aieon bow onto my back and looked at Instinct and Delphi

"Come on, the others are probably tearing the hair out of their heads looking for us" I say and Instinct and Delphi disappear and arrive in my head again as I walk out of the ancient forge already planning my next visit


A/N: I'm tired!!! But here you all are, if it's choppy let me know, but I thought that Percy could use a break from prophecies for a short while so why not go on a road trip? Anyway, until next time my fellow Demigods and Demigoddesses, Take Care

P.S: You will all love the next update.
