'I need to get them out of here,' Percy realised, 'I need to get them all out of here. But….but if I do then will they survive? The world outside has changed so much….would they be able to adapt?...should I even try? No! No! I cannot be the judge on this, I will not! They will decided, I'll take them back to camp, if they don't want to stay and wish to come back to the casino then fine, but I will give them that choice.'
So Percy moved, he activated his super speed and grabbed every single one of the demigod he could find. He first grabbed his half brother Jonathan and threw him into the inventory. He quickly ran through the game room floor and grab each and every demigod he could and then dropped them into his inventory.
Percy had collected a total of 21 new demigod, not including little Percy, but he still wasn't done.
"Stop right there!" A security gaurd called out as several started to chase after Percy.
"Oh bite me," Percy mummered as he poured mana into his crystal and summoned Zed, Timmy and Craig. The monsters looked at Percy for orders, "distract them, I need to get something."
The three nodded and they launched into battle with the security guards, who were actually monsters in disguise. The moment the battle started the monsters shed of their skins and revealed a huge plant like body underneath. Roots and vines made up their muscles while tree barks made up their bones.
"This is going to be fun!" Timmy said as he formed blades out of the wind.
"Finally I get someone who like to talk!" Zed cried out, "this one," he pointed at Craig, "doesn't like to banter."
"I simply have less to say," Craig grumbled out as the three jumped into battle with the plant monsters.
Percy zoomed across the floor sending wave after wave of mana to sense Nico and Bianca. Finally he got a hit, he felt something cold and dark, two somethings in fact. Percy turned to one corner of the room and saw two children at the corner playing chess.
'Chess?...Well I suppose that fits, after all they wouldn't' know what a videogame is,' Percy ran and stopped right in front of them drawing both their attentions away from the board and to him.
"Can we help you?" The girl asked. She looked around 12 and had olive skin like PErcy. She and her brother both had black hair and black eyes, and both wore very old clothes. Nico had a pair of slack with suspender on over a coat while his sister wore a red dress with a scarf around her neck.
"Yeah, I'm here to get you both out of this place," Percy said as the two siblings slowly got of their seats.
"Really? You don't seem like the lawyer we talked to before," Bianca said suspicious.
"Oh who cares," Nico groaned, "it's been forever since we left!"
"Don't exaggerate Nico, it's only been a month"
"A month? Sigh, we'll deal with that later. Look I'm a friend of your dad's" PErcy explained, "well not friend, I'm just doing a favour for him."
"You know our dad?" Nico asked with his eyes sparkling, "who is he?"
"It's a long story kid, look I just need you two to come with me," Percy said looking around to see Zed cut one of the flower guards into pieces, "now."
"No hold on just a minute, we will not be going anywhere with you unless-"
"-I don't have time for this!" Percy yelled out as he grabbed Bianca and carried her like a bride. He opened his inventory and threw her inside before turning to Nico.
"What did you do to my sister?!" Nico shouted as he charged Percy with fists clenched trying to hurt him.
"Relax kid she's safe," Percy said catching both of Nico's fists and lighting him up, "and now your turn."
"Get off! I demand you get off me!" Nico yelled out but Percy ignored him throwing him into the inventory and closing it.
Percy then turned to his servants, "it's time to go!"
"Right!" They responded as they dissolved into smoke and entered Percy's gem.
Percy then turned around and took off in a breakneck pace past the Gaming room and through the Casino entrance.
Percy stopped the moment he reached outside, it was night time. Percy looked at his watch and saw that it was working again. It was around 9 in the night, Percy had been trapped in there for more than 11 hours!
'Maybe it's some kind of time manipulation charm,' Percy wondered as he looked back to see whether he was followed, he wasn't, he got out scott free.
Percy sighed in relief and then began to walk out into the Vegas night. The city was so much different from just 11 hours ago, there were lights on everywhere and people were out and about dressed up in their best.
Percy was amazed at all he saw, it almost made him want to enter a real casino and try out his luck, but he had a mission to complete. Maybe he would come here for his birthday or something.
Percy smiled and put on his goggles activating his helmet, he had to admit, this thing was kid of growing on him. He then activated his super speed and zoomed out of the city leaving the lights behind.
It took three hours of constant running for him to get hungry again. This time he chose a Taco Bell to get something to eat and after the quick pit stop he continued his run. He reached camp at 1 in the night, and immediately went to the Big House to find someone, anyone to help him out with the extra demigods he had brought with him.
Percy stopped running in front of the porch and quickly entered the big building. He looked round and found the War room's door was slightly ajar. 'They must be having a meeting,' Percy realised as he quickly walked into the room pushing open the door.
The room immediately stopped all talking and all turned to face Percy. Percy saw all the head counselors there, including Chiron, Dionysus and an awake Thalia.
