Percy looked down, "I assume you made this collar off the information Argo collected about my powers?"
The man nodded, "yes, with a few modifications of our own. We are very much aware of your ice powers and your speed. That along with disrupting your mana leaves your virtually powerless."
Percy calmed down, 'so no mana, no Kefka crystal and no speed.' Percy was in panic mode before but now he could finally think. Suddenly an idea came to him, 'Idiots.'
Percy nodded, "this is very impressive. You people must have been tracking my movement and powers for some time now."
The man nodded, "yes, we have. Information is what we are good at."
Percy smiled, "but you forgot one thing." The Agent and the man were surprised by the smile and Percy immediately activated his seals removing 3 of them;
Seal Release: Layer 3, Time: 20 hours.
STR- 72 (+20)= 92
Feeling his strength flow through his body Percy flexed his arms and broke the zip lock holding his arms back. He reached up to the collar around his neck and crushed it with a tight squeeze.
The Agent took out his guns and fired. But by that time Percy's powers had activated already causing him to regain every single one of his powers, including marble skin.
Defence- 296,175,500
The bullets took off only 500 defence points. Percy took the bullets head on, they barely bothered him. He punched the Agent in the stomach sending Agent 46 into the boat's control and before the assassin could get back up Percy was already on top of him.
Percy drew back an arm and launched it right into the man's face plowing through it and into the controls below. Percy took out his arm, it was covered with blood and brain matter. The man was a killer for hire and a murderer. But worst of all he had hurt Thalia, he didn't deserve any mercy from Percy.
Exp Gained: 60,000
The body of Agent 46 disappeared into nothing leaving behind Loot in the form of two fully loaded silver guns with a black grip and spare clips, 200,000 $ and a scroll of stealth.
Percy took the guns and scroll and put them away for later. Percy then turned to the computer in the briefcase, the screen was not facing Percy, meaning the man didn't see what just happened. 'Good, last thing I need is someone I don't know finding about my gaming powers.'
Percy used blood control to remove the gore off of his hand, he then sat down in front of the laptop and reactivated his strength seals, "so….are we done?"
"How did you do that?"
"You have your secrets, I have mine."
"Indeed…..is he dead?"
"No."
Lie success!
"Why didn't you kill him?"
"I have my reasons."
The man remained silent for a long time, and Percy mimicked him. It felt like hours had passed by before the mysterious figure spoke up, "we will find him."
"You can try."
"Join us Mr. Jackson. We need people like you. People who are willing to make this world a better place."
"No thanks, I don't want to be part of an assassin's guild," Percy smiled, "stealth is not my style."
"We can offer you our help in exchange for your….services."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "what type of help?"
"We can help you fight Kronos," the man replied back.
"Yeah, sure you would," Percy rolled his eyes, "I'm sure a group of assassins will be very useful against the Titan of time."
"We would be, we are very good at what we do."
Percy smiled, "I just killed your top assassin. How would anyone else do any better?"
"We never said he was out top assassin." Percy narrowed his eyes, "he was sloppy, he was noticable. The Agent was exceptional, but he was also famous. The most well known assassins are also the worst."
"So you're telling me that you have someone better than Agent 46?"
The man in the shadows was startled, "I don't know how you know that name…...but yes. We do have someone better."
Percy looked at the man and remained silent for a long time. He thought it over, 'could I really join up with these guys? If we could have them assassinate Kronos and the others...no, of course they can't. They are just desperate.'
"Sorry bud, no deal," Percy finally said.
"But-" Percy didn't let the man finish. He grabbed the laptop and threw it overboard into the water.
"Damn that guy was talkative," Percy then controlled the water around him to turn the boat around and take him back into the city.
Once he reached the docks Percy got off the boat and took off at full speed. He reached 'The Writer's Den' in minutes and saw that there were cops outside setting up a perimeter. Percy looked at the cops and recognized Kate Beckett in the crowd.
Percy didn't know how he should feel about the woman, technically he lived with her for a week. She was a kind person and very good at her job. Hell she even figured out that Percy's mom's 'death' had been done by a wild animal.
But now is not the time for a reunion, Percy couldn't let himself be seen. Percy snuck around and finally spotted Edward by an ambulance pacing around.
"Ed!" Percy called out drawing his attention.
"Percy? Oh thank the Gods!" Edward rushed Percy giving him a hug, "we thought you were dead."
I'm fine, where's Thalia?" Percy asked looking around frantically for the girl.
"She's fine, we got her in a stable condition," Edward explained. Just then;
Ping!
Quest completed!
Saving Edward Neak. Don't let him die.
Reward,
Skill disk- 10
10 points
Abyss card
Percy had received the Abyss card already, from Joseph. So instead a golden disk spread out of thin air in front of Percy. Edward looked surprised but didn't say anything as Percy put the disk away for later.
Percy turned to Ed, "did you get it?"
Ed nodded, "since technically I was the last one to bid for it I won."
Percy nodded, "good. Now, take me to Thalia."
"Right, follow me," Edward took Percy into the ambulance he was standing in front of.
Inside was Thalia on a gurney with an oxygen mask on her with Michael next to her using his healing powers to keep her stable.
"Michael, is she okay?" Percy asked stepping into the ambulance.
"Percy? Thank the gods, yeah, she's fine," Michael said looking down at the daughter of Zeus, "I managed to get her stable, they were planning to take her to the hospital, but with you here we don't have to."
Percy nodded, "right," he turned to Ed, "we have to go Ed. I took care of the assassin, you and the others should be safe."
Edward nodded, "right, you guys go ahead. I'll call you when I have completed the scent destroyer."
Percy nodded. Michael gave Percy back Riptide before the son of Poseidon opened his inventory and put Michael inside. He then moved to Thalia, carefully lifting the girl and putting her inside the inventory as well.
