Chap 20 - Nick is still an Idiot and Percy's Niece

Nick's POV
How does that loser get 3 hot babes as his girlfriends? (He doesn't know about Bianca and Percy yet.) Two of them are even hunters. Ugh! It's so unfair. They should fall in love with me and not that loser. I'll show them who's better. I'll challenge Percy then beat him and they'll be all over me. And there's capture the flag later, they'll see just how awesome I am. I was currently strapping on my armour with the rest of the campers. The horn sounded and we all rushed out of the armoury and to the amphitheater. We arrived before the hunters, the loser and his gang. Five minutes passed and I was stating to get annoyed. Who are they to keep me, Nick Jackson THE son of Poseidon, waiting for so long. They waltz in talking and laughing like they own the place.

"Sorry we're late Chiron. We had a little situation." Percy said, laughing softly.

"That alright. Now that we're all here. Let the game begin. You know the rules. You cannot kill, only maim and disarm. All magical items allowed. The creek is the boundary line. Now to your starting positions." Chiron said.

The campers headed to the creek while the hunters and the Chaos cabin went to Zeus' fist. When I'm a god I'll make the campers name something at camp after me. I ended up guarding the flag again. This is perfect. I know Percy will come after the flag and we'll battle it out with the whole camp watching. Then I'll pull my final trick and let everyone see that he's just a fraud. I stood near the creek, waiting for Percy to come along. I practised my trick while waiting. Suddenly I heard a rustle and I had my sword out. Can't believe my dad gave me a sword named Eddy and not something cool like Maelstrom. Now that sounds cool. Anyways back to the game. I saw Percy step out with a smirk on his ugly face.

"They put you on flag duty again? Ha! Looks like they don't trust you enough to go after the hunters flag or even fight." He said.

How dare he! I charged at him and tried to disarm him. I swung my sword and his fell out of his hand.

"Ha! Not so tough now are you?" I asked, smirking. He simply smiled at me.

Third person POV
"Oh, I'm just waiting for the audience. I can't wait for them to see how pathetic you really are." Percy said.

A couple seconds later the campers, hunters and Chaos cabin arrived to see the fight. Suddenly Télos flew into Percy's hand.

"Now we can start." He said.

Immediately Percy swung his sword and it hit Nick square in the chest. The swing knocked Nick of his feet. Nick scrambled onto his feet and started going on the offence, swinging his sword relentlessly. Percy was on defence but mentally smirked.

'Doesn't this idiot know anything about sword fighting? If he keeps this up I'll win without a doubt.' Percy thought.

Nick started to slow and Percy took that opportunity. Percy switched to offence and forced Nick back. Percy's strikes hit Nick over and over again, not giving him the chance to block. With one bone shattering punch, Nick was flung into the creek. Nick was reenergized and stood up with a smug smile on his face. Percy smiled as it was exactly what he wanted. Nick raised his hands and half the creek rose up. Beads of sweat rolled down his face as it was the most he has ever done. With a push, Nick sent a powerful (sort of) wave towards the son of a Chaos. Said son of Chaos just shook his head and raised a hand. The wave immediately stopped and obeyed its true master.

"Don't you ever learn from your mistakes. I guess not because no one is this stupid. How many times do I have to say this. I'm a son of Chaos. I control all the elements." As Percy said that, the wave divided into spikes and froze.

With a flick of his wrist, the ice spiked shot towards Nick. Nick didn't have enough time to raise his sword and block the spikes. Nick ended up on the ground surrounded in a pool of his own blood. Cuts and bruises covered his whole face and body.

Percy walked over to Selena and said, "Want to do the honours?"

She nodded and walked over to the flag. As soon as she touched it, the flag turned silver with the Chaos symbol at the centre. Suddenly atop Selena's head a floating symbol appeared.


Percy's POV
I can't believe it.

"All hail Selena Black, daughter of Nyx, primordial goddess of night." I said, bowing.

Selena looked in awe at the floating symbol above her head. The campers were staring at her a little terrified and immediately kneeled. I chuckled at their expressions.

Selena walked over to me and asked, "So does that make you my Uncle?"

"Hmm, I guess it does." I said, smiling at her.

She smiled brightly. All of us except the campers went back to the Chaos cabin. When we walked into the living room, Nico was sitting on the floor playing with his mythomagic cards.

He looked up and shouted cheerfully, "Hey guys. How was capture the flag. You beat the campers ass?"

"Nico language!" Scolded Bianca.

Nico huffed in return.

"Yeah we did. And Percy destroyed Nick." Cheered Luke and Clarrise.

I shook my head at them.

"Nico can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked.

"Sure," he replied.

~Convo~
P- I need your help.
N- With what?
P- I need you to train Selena with her powers. She's a daughter of Nyx so your powers should be similar.
N- Sure. I can do that.
P- Alright thanks Neeks.
N- Don't call me that.
~End Convo~

I beckoned Selena to come over.

"Selena this is Nico, son of Hades. He's going to help you learn how to use your new powers." I told her.

She gave him a bright smile and started conversing with him. I left them to talk and walked over to Zoë and Bianca, who were talking.

"Are you guys staying here tonight or going back to cabin 8?" I asked them.

Bianca isn't a hunter anymore but the hunters consider her one. Even with Thalia.

"We're staying here." Zoë said.

Before I could reply, a knock came from the door. I opened it and it was Chiron.

"There has been another prophecy. We are discussing it at the big house." He said.

I nodded at him and turned to Zoë and Bianca.

"You girls wanna come with?" I asked.

They smiled at me a took my hand. We arrived at the big house and saw all the head counsellors already there. Even Nick. Although he was looking a little pale. I swear that guy is like an annoying, pathetic cockroach. Hard to kill. I summoned a couch for me, Zoë and Bianca. I pulled them to sit beside me and put my arm around their waist. They leaned their heads on my chest, so that's a good sign.

"This is the prophecy :-
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers, Hunters and Warriors combined will prevail,(people in the Chaos cabin are considered warriors)
The Titan's curse must one withstand,
And one shall suffer by a parent's hand. (I tweaked it)
Artemis has been captured" gasps "and the prophecy clearly states that the hunters and campers has to work together. Zoë you will lead this quest. Who do you chose?" Chiron asked.

Before I could protest against the idea of Zoë going, much less, leading this quest I got cut off.

"I choose Percy, Bianca, Annabeth and Nico." She said.

I looked at her wide eyed. Why would she want to go and choose Bianca as well. She knows what will happen.

"Wait. The prophecy says 'Bane of Olympus shows the trail', that's Nick. He's a son of the big three. You have to pick him as well." She said.

Nick was agreeing in the background.

Zoë scoffed, "Please, that pathetic excuse of a boy is no bane of Olympus. For all you know the prophecy could be talking about Percy."

Annabeth shut her mouth and glared at Zoë.

Third person POV
Percy saw the glare and shot one back to Annabeth, and protectively pulled Zoë into him. Annabeth and Nick scowled at the scene.

"Alright the ones that Zoë picked, go and pack for tomorrow's quest. The rest back to your cabins." Chiron said.

Percy scooped up Bianca and Zoë and headed back to the cabin.

Reminder
Percy - 18 years old
Zoë - 16 years old
Thalia - 16 years old (No longer a daughter of Zeus. She disowned Zeus and Ouranos adopted her. So prophecy no longer refers to her.)
Bianca - 16 years old
Artemis - 17 year old form
Nico - 11 years old
Selena - 12 years old
