Chapter 6.

AN: Wow. Thank you all for your nice reviews, I've had NOTHING but good ones from this story, and every review does motivate me.

So, someone, who will remain anonymous, had asked if Maria's "curse" was the Ancient Laws in Story. This is a yes, since we know next to nothing of them or what put them in place, I figured why not Maria.

Anyway onto the story, in this chapter Percy gets his pistol.

Percy P.O.V: I sighed to myself, inspecting my pistol, smiling fondly as I remembered how I had received it.

(Flashback time)

I was walking down the street of a small town in England, I'd just finished hunting a group of Beasts accumulating upon the eastern borders of York, before making my way to said town, I had, however seen some very strange weapons being used by the Constables and the Redcoats of the British, long, barreled sticks with metal pointing out of them, curiously, I'd made my way to the local Blacksmith's to inquire as to what these weapons were.

As it turns out, they were ranged weaponry, able to fire small pellets at enemies from a distance without exposing the user too much, they could also be fired quickly from cover allowing one to reload, I'd decided to replace my now out-of-date crossbow with the pistol, making some Quicksilver bullets (which were what we'd used against the beasts), as the Beasts of the Dark had feared silver entirely, it was the best substance that hurt them. In any case, the pistol was a welcome addition to my arsenal.

(Flashback ends)

A cough sounded in front of me, breaking me out of my memories, it was Artemis's Lieutenant, Zoe Nightshade. "My lady will see you now boy" she spat the word "Boy" as if it was Kronos. Which amused me to no end. "Right, lead the way if you would please." I said mockingly to her, to which she had turned red in anger at.

She had led me through the Hunter's camp to Artemis's tent, which was in the center of the camp. I sighed, before entering, and upon inspecting the tent, I saw many trophies of different lesser-monsters, the Greek and Roman kind. I shook my head fondly "you almost remind me of a Hunter Artemis, with the amount of trophies...Except you're missing many that are older than your family." I said plainly.

She only rose an eyebrow towards me, before shaking her head "what would you know of Hunting Perseus? You have a claim to being the supposed 'First Hunter' and yet you show no proof to it." She said mockingly, walking around me as she said it, before seating herself once more.

"However, you show enough skill that I will bring you before my father and the Olympian Council. Now." She said finally, making me cringe outwardly at the amount of damage I was thinking of doing to Zeus and his family while there, but smirk evilly on the inside.

Before I could even say anything, she put her hand on my shoulder and flashed us out to Olympus.

She had flashed inside the throne room and told me to wait outside, I tapped my foot impatiently before getting tired and just opening the doors and walking in, taking my pistol and Scythe out, preparing them for any confrontation. As soon as I entered, everybody but Zeus looked at me strangely, he paled like Hades would in this situation.

I smirked at him now. Before taking an overly mocking and dramatic bow to him.

"Why hello my old student...How've you been since...I dunno, you decided to PURGE MY ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE!?" I roared furiously, firing off a shot into his shoulder before reloading it.

"You...You took everything from me. My life. My people. My name. EVERYTHING."

I growled at him, taking a step forward with every word that came from my mouth. Before stopping in front of him.

"I taught you all you know Zeus. I helped you defeat Kronos, and the way you repay me is by ordering a Mass-Genocide of my people. Well Zeus. I'm waiting for your pathetic excuse as to why you did it." I said to him, grabbing him by the suit and throwing him in front of his own council. All of them, except Hera and Poseidon were staring at Zeus in shock and horror. Before the pathetic excuse of a war god Ares jumped up, greatsword summoned and tried to attack me.

I only growled to myself, before kicking Zeus down to the floor, head first, and using it as a launching pad to leap forwards towards Ares. I took Riptide from the Snathe, before hitting him in the throat with the Snathe, stunning him, and knocking him flat onto his ass, flipping Riptide in the air as I prepared to plunge it into his heart, I was stopped by a calming hand on my shoulder. I turned to see who had laid the hand on my shoulder, and saw Hestia. The only Olympian that I kept in contact with. She had gotten me out of the city when it was being sacked, and moved the children out of the city to a safe haven...I never did find out what had happened to them. Which made me in turn think I was the last of them.

I was expecting Hestia to hit me over the head, but what I got from her was far worse: She frowned disappointedly, and shook her head no, leaning forward to whisper in my ear "he'll pay eventually Perseus."

I deflated immediately, all of my rage was gone in an instant with the reassuring words of Hestia, after being calmed sufficiently, I turned back to Zeus "the only reason you live boy...Is because Hestia wills it. Pay heed that one day Zeus, you will burn for what you've done to my people." I spat at him, before turning to the Council "I also need Thalia Grace, an audience with her as soon as possible...I've a...Proposition for her."

I said dismissively to them, before walking out of Olympus, kneeling down, and teleporting myself with the Hunter's Bone back to the camp.

As soon as I arrived, I faced the sword of the arrogant Poseidon spawn...I rose an eyebrow at him, making him growl at me. "Who do you think you are? Interfering with the quest from Olympus-" He began before I cut him off "boy, I belong to a force far older than your father and his siblings, hell, I taught Zeus everything he knows in fighting. So what makes you so special?" I'd taunted him before he puffed out his skinny chest in an attempt to look powerful.

"I'm Lars Baedon, the hero of the Gods, the most powerful Demigod of all time, and the best fighter in history." He said, trying to strike a dramatic "heroic" pose, which only made him look more and more like a fool.

"Kid, I've seen a Monster look more regal and heroic than you currently." I said plainly, turning from him, and to the laughing Thalia and Annabeth. "Oh and Thalia? A word please." I said, the tone in my voice leaving no room for arguments.

She gulped and nodded "you're not in any trouble so don't worry." Was the first thing I said when we reached a secluded part of the camp. Which made her visibly relax. "Quite the opposite actually." I quipped to myself.

She rose an eyebrow at me "uhhh…?" She asked intelligently. Before I shook my head at her response.

"Thalia Grace, you're one of the biggest Demigod Influences of this century so far, you've broken the cycle of your predecessors, you remain humble, loyal, strong, caring, and compassionate. For those reasons alone, I extend to you an offer that has not been seen since I trained your father. To become a Beast Hunter." I told her proudly,

extending a hand to seal my offer to her.

"If you agree to my proposition, you'll become my protege, the first one I've personally trained since Zeus, you'll learn how to fight beasts such as the Cleric Beasts, Amygdalae, and even some gods." I explained in further detail, making her face scrunch up in thought.

She had opened her mouth to reply to my offer before a voice cut her off. "Hey, guy that beat up my old man, time to go!" Came the annoying voice of Apollo, making me groan in frustration.

I sighed to myself, gathering my few belongings, and making my way onto the Sun Chariot. Preparing myself for what was sure to be Hell incarnate.

AN: 3...2...1...And cut. That's a wrap. Put the ribbon on it, tie it into a bow, and call it a present, my present from me to my loyal readers.

PerseusTheDestroyer999:Worry not, I will probably not make this a Pertamis with how this story diverged from how I originally thought it would. I'll let you guys vote on which pairings you want.

Yougi12: Yes, it is an amazing story from what the other reviewers say, but the curse, is the ancient laws, as its not really explained as to what put it in effect.

Eat-Lead-Iture: First off, fantastic name, really Punny. Second of all, I will update more and thank you for your input.

: You've commented the same thing on all your reviews. I still love it. But do please tell me what you loved the MOST.

NikkiGrace6113: Thank you for your review, I don't make the story awesome, you reviewers do. And I will continue being awesome as long as I get reviews.
