Clarisse growled but didn't' speak.
"Percy we could have helped Luke, we could have gotten him out of danger and back with us," Annabeth said causing Percy to feel guilty.
"I know Annabeth, but I didn't trust him. Tell me would any of you?"
No one answered, no one. Silence rained on for a few moments before Annabeth spoke up again, "it wasn't your decision to make Percy."
"Yes it was, he came to me, not you. So it was my choice to make."
"You should have told us Percy."
"Okay fine, tell me what would you have done huh? Tell me what would you have said to him!?"
"That's not the point!" Annabeth yelled, "the point is that you didn't trust us, you didn't think we deserved to know!"
"You know what maybe we should talk about this later when we aren't prisoners," Michael said.
Percy clicked his teeth but remained silent as did Annabeth. They didn't speak to each other, no one did.
'Why don't they get it? It's not my fault!' Percy told himself, 'how the hell was I supposed to trust Luke after the shit he pulled?'
Percy shook his head clear of such thoughts, a problem for a later time. Right now he needed to find a way out of here. Percy cleared his mind and thought back to the file that contained all the information Argo had collected on him.
If what Luke had told him was true that mean Argo built these chains based upon the information he had on Percy back then. So the only way Percy could escape is by using something Argo didn't know about.
'Ice control? No, I can't throw out any type of mana. Something in my inventory?...no, nothing useful.' But just then it hit him, 'he didn't know about my gem.'
Argo didn't know about the crystal in Percy's forehead, when he made this he still though Percy used the gauntlet. Percy poured his mana into the gem in his forehead, he could feel the crystal activate.
Percy summoned Marcia as smoke poured out of the crystal taking shape of the giant wolf in front of Percy.
Marcia looked down and smiled, "oh this must be a dream. You kneeling before me like that, oh god thank you!"
Percy sighed, "great, this just got more embarrassing."
"Percy how did you do that?" Michael asked surprised.
"I got a new upgrade to my crystal that Argo didn't know about," Percy looked at Marcia, "can you get these things off of me?"
The wolf looked at the chains and then to the cuffs and shook her head, "no, it's made out of imperial gold, I don't think I can.."
"Why don't you try and summon one of your other monsters?" Clarisse suggested, "like that big red one with super strength."
Percy sighed, "I can't, I left him at camp to protect it."
"And I doubt the Goblin king of the Damned Knight could as well seeing as they are just at average strength," Marcia explained before turning to the other demigods, "but I can break their cuffs."
Percy nodded, "okay do it-"
"-No way,' Nina said stopping Percy mid sentence, "like hell we are just going to leave you here by yourself."
"Yeah, ain't gonna leave you Percy," Michael said in a reassuring voice, "we'll find a way to get out of this together."
"Guys there is no time," Percy snapped, "Marcia do it."
The Wolf nodded and went towards the demigods.
"Percy this is no time to play the martyr!" Clarisse shouted out as Marcia broke Nina's cuffs open.
"I'm not playing the martyr Clarisse," Percy said as another pair of cuffs broke, "you guys need to get out of here. Get onboard the Ascension and free Odysseus and his crew. The Titans are planning something big, you guys heard it yourselves. You need to try and stop it."
Annabeth walked in front of Percy glaring at him, "are you sure you're okay with this?"
Percy nodded, "if what Luke said is true then he wants to help me escape anyway, I'll be fine."
"Oh so now you're going to trust Luke?"
"I don't exactly have a choice do I?"
"Guys stop fighting!" Michael shouted as he and the rest of them walked in front of Percy along with Marcia.
"He's right," Percy said looking at Annabeth, "we can settle this later." Percy closed his eyes and focused on the gem summoning Timmy and Craig. The two appeared in front of Percy next to the demigod and bowed, "master."
"Okay you two listen, you both and Marcia get these guys out of here and onto the Ascension. Listen to what they tell you do your best to be a pain in the ass for the Titans."
The three servants nodded. Marcia walked forward and licked Percy's face, "I'll make sure they come back for you Percy."
Percy smiled, "I know you will. By the way Timmy I want you to carry Grover out," Percy said pointing to the unconscious Satyr.
The Goblin King nodded and picked up Grover swinging him over his shoulder, "got it boss."
Percy nodded, "now go all of you!"
The wolf turned around and sent a blast of darkness at the jail door breaking it open. Timmy and Craig walked out first followed by the demigods with Marcia being the last one out.
Percy couldn't see what was going on but he could hear several people shouting out. From what he could hear it seemed like the group were spotted pretty quickly. Percy looked at the view from outside the cell and saw the sea, he realised he still must be in the Princess Andromeda.
The entire ship was in disarray, Percy could feel the rumble of feet all along the ship. And then suddenly silence. Percy smiled, they had managed to get away. Slowly a cloud of smoke entered the cell and entered Percy's crystal, it seemed Craig had been defeated.
Percy sighed and bent down lower, the only thing to do now was to wait.
5 minutes later,
"How did you do it?" Hyperion growled out.
Percy smiled, "do it? Do what? Your mother?"
"Shut up!" Hyperion shouted as he smacked Percy across the face.
Defence - 124,000
Percy smiled as he spat out a wad of blood. "Is that the best you can do?"
Hyperion raised his hand to slap Percy once again only for Luke to step in front of Percy, "get away from him demigod."
Luke glared at the titan, "Lord Kronos said he wanted him alive. You keep hitting him like that he won't be."
"You saw what he did! If he somehow manages to escape-"
"He won't."
"And how do you know that?"
Luke turned around and faced a kneeling Percy, "because if he could have he would have done it already," Luke swung his leg and kicked Percy across the face.
Defence - 123,980
Percy smirked, "I didn't even feel that."
Luke narrowed his eyes but said nothing. He turned to Hyperion, "let's go, our time is wasted here. We have to be ready for tonight."
The titan grumbled but nodded, "come, we have lots to do."
Luke nodded as the Titan turned and walked away leaving Luke alone with Percy. Luke turned, "are they safe?"
"Yeah," Percy responded.
"You don't trust me so I won't bother asking where they are. But will they try and rescue you?"
Percy looked at Luke for a few second before nodding.
"Good," Luke said walking away, "they managed to free Odysseus and his crew before sailing away faster than we could catch up to them."
Percy smiled, Triton's blessing must have still been in effect, "good, that's good."
Luke nodded, "one hour, the event will start in one hour."
"What event?"
Luke was about to answer when a gorilla in a pink set of armor walked in to inform him of a meeting. Luke nodded to the gorilla and turned to Percy, "you will see soon enough."
Percy sighed and lowered his head as once again he was alone.
