The Lightning Thief
discussion
Help us write a scene! (help us write a scene somewhere in the series) Read the previous and continue the scene.
(well it's called a cliffhanger or a fish pole. that way people will keep reading. I'm posting this story on my blog)
"I'd leave Rachel forever," Nico whispered. "I can't do that."
Nemesis shrugged. "She's mortal, right? You would be fine. She can die, if you'd rather.""NO!" Nico shouted. He took a shaky breath.
"I thought you told me this was about revenge not some lost love." Nemesis raised her eyebrows.
"Um, it is." Nico closed his eyes. "Will it... kill me?" he asked.
(thanx for the summary Sarah) "Because I am not going to give up everything that I love and know." Nico Said.
"Well then, I will be going." Nemesis said.
"Wait. I will only give you my powers after you help me get my revenge on Mania." Nico said.
"Okay half-blood. Follow me, and we will begin your revenge." Nemesis said with a little laugh. Little did she know, Nico was bluffing.
"That will depend on if your father is merciful. You are his son and will remain his son, but that has never stopped Hades before."
He was not about to give up his powers for Nemesis.
"True," said Nico. "But, it's Rachel. I will do it." he added, "But only if you swear on the River Styx."
(We just have to make sure that happens)
(kk. i shall remember. and continuing, if thats okay with you)"I swear on the River Styx that I will help you get revenge and your girl back."
(I JUST HAD A BLOODY BRILLIANT IDEA!)
(i sent u a message haha)
"Good, now let's go." Nico said as he followed Nemesis.******************************************************
"Great, now we found Ares's hideout, all we have to do is find a way in, and ask him what quest he wants us to do, and then do it and get the sword, save Annabeth, and then go home and live happily ever after." Percy said.
"Not so fast Seaweed brain." Thalia said.
"Percy," Bianca's disembodied voice said, "Ares isn't just going to give you a quest. This is his sword we're talking about. He's not just going to give it up."
"I KNOW THAT!" Percy screamed. "BUT HE HAS ANNABETH, BIANCA! I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!!"
"Cool your jets." Thalia said as she pushed open the door. Percy followed her, red faced, and they could feel that Bianca was close behind. The first room was dark and musty. There was a counter with an old cash register on it. The floor was covered with dust, no footprints to be seen anywhere.
"ARES!" Percy yelled. Thalia grabbed on to his arm. "Maybe this isn't the best time, Percy-" He yanked out of her grasp.
"ARES! I KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING! GET YOUR GODY BUT DOWN HERE!"
Thalia ran up behind him and clapped her hand over his mouth.
"Percy," she hissed, "shut. Up. Do you want to get us KILLED?!"
"Percy," she hissed, "shut. Up. Do you want to get us KILLED?!"
"Percy, shut up! You barnacle head! Now, he knows that we are here, and we can't sneak up on him." Thalia said."Here, let me go and look around. He won't notice I'm here, since I'm a ghost." Bianca said. She opened a door and closed it behind her as she went through.
"Well, now we have to follow her." Percy said, and then took off running.
They froze when Ares appeared in front of them. "You better have a hecka good reason for me to be down here," he said, crossing his arms.
"You weren't here?" Percy asked, dumbly.
"No. I was up on Olympus, spending sometime with my family."
Thalia snorted.
"No. I was up on Olympus, spending sometime with my family."
Thalia snorted.
Ares glared at her.
"Umm... Yeah..."
"So, what are you twerps doing down here?"
"So, what are you twerps doing down here?"
"Hello?" Ares said snapping his fingers in their faces. "I asked you a question!"
"We don't mean any harm, sir," Bianca said behind.
Ares whirled and was shocked to find there was no one there.
"We don't mean any harm, sir," Bianca said behind.
Ares whirled and was shocked to find there was no one there.
"Who was that!" Ares exclaimed.(please post- I need something to read before I go crazy!)
"Who's there?!" He shouted.
"I told you," Percy said, "it's a ghost. It can posses even you."
"I told you," Percy said, "it's a ghost. It can posses even you."
"The sword," Ares said. "You're not getting it."
Sucking in his breath, Percy asked, "What do you want for the sword?"
"I'm not into trade, Perseus. If you want to barter, go to Nemesis or Aphrodite."
"I'm not into trade, Perseus. If you want to barter, go to Nemesis or Aphrodite."
Ares's armory was like nothing they had ever seen. It looked like a Spartan military camp with futuristic technology. Weapons from every era were thrown about so you had a battle ax from the Middle Ages next to a Civil War musket and gas used in World War I right beside a Roman calvary sword.
At first, the sword of Ares looked like his sword, Riptide, but Percy figured it was just like Hermes's caduceus or Zeus's lightning bolt, always changing. The gold hilt was ornate, with fire patterns and scenes of war engraved in it. It looked specially customized for Ares, like if Percy tried to fight with it, it would be awkward and unbalanced in his hand.
Percy dove for the sword and almost had it, but Ares was quicker. He slashed at Percy. Percy just backed up in time to avoid being cut in half. He grabbed his sword, Riptide, uncapped it, and attacked the god of War.
Percy would like to have thought he made a more decent battle cry that "AHHHHHHHHHH" but he didn't and the god of War looked like he was going to double over and crumple to the ground laughing.
"Is that all you got, punk?" Ares said between laughs.
"Is that all you got, punk?" Ares said between laughs.
(thanks!)
Ares was down, but he landed right on his left hand where he was holding the police badge/sword.
"I'm not getting it," Thalia and Bianca said in unison. They were smart to not want to be blasted into demigod puree.

Percy lunged for it and almost had it out of the god's hand when he came to his senses.
Percy jumped away just as Ares blasted the revolver near him, narrowly missing Percy's face. "I told you not to mess with me punk." Ares said with a grimace on his face. Percy grabbed Riptide and uncapped it. He began slashing at the God, but it was no use. For a big guy, Ares sure could move fast.
Out of the corner of his eye, Percy saw Thalia moving in behind Ares and he guessed Bianca tapped him on the shoulder again because he jumped giving Percy the perfect advantage
Ares was only distracted for half-a-second, but that was all the time Percy needed. He swung his sword and gave the god a long cut down his chest. Golden Ichor, the blood of the gods, oozed from the cut."You'll pay for that." Ares said. But the cut weakened him significantly, so now Percy could block his lighting fast strokes and go on offense instead of just avoiding being cut to death.
"You may have gotten me back my shield but you will NEVER have my sword," Ares roared.
"We'll see about that," Thalia said, taking out Aegis. Percy could never get used to the face of Medusa (even though it was a copy - a really good copy) scowling back at him every time he looked at Thalia's shield.
Percy hoped that the shield would distract Ares - or scare him - for enough time for an escape.

(how interesting would it be if everything went according to plan? :))
"On second thought, RUN!" Thalia yelled, already dashing without confirmation that the others were behind her.

***************************************************************The pain was unlike anything Nico had ever known. It spread through him like a fire, burning and scorching him, leaving him writhing in pain and screaming in agony.
Who knew loosing part of who you are would hurt so much.
It's for Rachel, he thought. I'm doing this for Rachel.
It's for Rachel, he thought. I'm doing this for Rachel.
Still, that didn't stop the pain. The goddess of revenge was showing no mercy.
After what felt like hours, the pain finally left him.
"Get up son of hades," nemesis ordered. Nico could barely lift his head. "There is no mercy for those that have crossed me. Get up."
"You promised you'd help me. You swore!"
"Yes I did. And here is your help." She tossed him a bottle with a thin piece of paper rolled up in it. "Thank you for your business son of hades." With that, she disappeared.

It was a note that said:Dear Son of Hades,
I have forseen you coming, and you must know one thing. You are mortal now and it is almost impossible to get the girl you love back. However, crush this bottle and she will appear.
Beware: Whoever is touching her when you crush the bottle will transport also.
((Should someone come with her? Oo!! Maybe it could be hades!!))
