Chapter 106

The last part in his info was new, guess it was something Percy could only read after he knew Luke was the lightning thief. Percy then became conflicted about what he should do with Luke when he read about how feel about him.

Luke was feeling conflicted too, he didn't want to do this. Maybe Percy could use that doubt and somehow save his mom while not having to fight Luke.

Percy was ashamed at how he was thinking. Gamer's mind made everything objective, so h could only think about what he could use to survive. It was a horrible way to think about someone, Percy knew that, but in the end it was either him of Luke.

So Percy closed his eyes and let sleep take over, Luke wouldn't kill him in his sleep, he needed him.

Ping!

You have slept in a bed; HP and MP have been restored 75% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.

Percy and the others started early the next day. They started the drive at around 6 in the morning and drove quickly stopping only for food and bathroom breaks. Percy used Gamer's mind a lot that day. Every moment Luke made Percy analyzed and judged whether he was going to kill him or not. So far Percy managed to put on a neutral face, but it was cracking. Luke and Grover asked him several times why he was so angry, and he just waved it off saying he was nervous.

Eventually they reached LA by sundown.

Percy stepped out of the vehicle and looked around. Right now they were parked at an overview point so that Percy could see everything in Hollywood. To his right was the famous Hollywood sign and in the far distance was the Pacific ocean.

"Where exactly is the entrance to Hades anyway?" asked Grover as he popped up on the runck of the car.

"You have lived in the world longer than me, I was hoping you would know," Percy replied looking over his shoulder.

"I think it's best we spend one more night in a motel and head out for the Underworld tomorrow," Luke said with a smiled.

'Why does he want to do that? Is he going to try and go into Hdes himself while we sleep?' Percy thought as he put on a smile on his face, "good idea Luke. We need to be alert and ready."

Luke nodded happy. He then sat next to Grover on the hood of the car looking at the view. Percy remained silent but inside he knew that this was it. It was all going to go down tonight.

After an hour of sitting on their car and enjoying the view, the questers all went to a motel. The motel was right next to the beach, something Percy insisted on and as soon as they entered their room they all promptly collapsed into their respective beds. Only Grover slept while Luke and Percy pretend to sleep.

Percy then waited and at around 10 Luke got up again. He then went to Ares's shield and began to search it for the lightning bolt. "Shit!" Percy heard Luke whisper as he then promptly walked out of the room, probably to Iris message Ares or something.

Percy got up and put on his shoes. It was time. It was time for him to confront the Lightning Thief. Percy opened up his status page and quickly used up his stat points.

STR-32

VIT-34(+4)=38

DEX-31(+4)=35

INT-30

WIS-32

LUC-30

POINTS-2

He didn't have enough to improve his speed to Luke's level and his agility was never going to reach Luke's 56. So Percy put it in the one thing that might give him a fighting chance, his luck. Logically speaking Percy should just take out the Master bolt and zap Luke into ashes, but this...this was personal.

Percy left the room leaving a sleeping Grover behind. He then quietly snuck to the ground floor and to beach, the only place Luke could make an Iris call.

Percy walked into the sand and kept his head low as he approached a figure standing in the beach with a torch light. The person was obviously Luke.

Luke walked up to the waves and used the mist coming off the waves to form a rainbow. "Oh Iris goddess of the Rainbows accept my offering. Show me Lord Ares," Luke called out as slowly the rainbow turned into a window showing Ares.

"What brat?" the god of war asked in a rough tone.

"Where is the lightning bolt?!" Luke screamed.

"Are you deaf? I told you it is in my sheild!"

"Well it's not there now! I checked the handle, nothing!"

"Impossible! Unless- behind you!" Percy jumped up and slashed Riptide downwards cutting the message off and nicking Luke in the shoulder.

"Percy?!" Luke shouted out as held onto his bleeding shoulder, "what the hell are you doing?!"

"Luke," Percy replied in a low voice, "you are the Lightning Thief."

Luke's eyes went wide, "Percy I can explain."

"Enough!" Percy yelled out as he attacked Luke. Luke drew out his own blade and bronze metal bronze as slowly Percy pushed Luke back with each strike.

"I didn't want to do it Percy," Luke cried out as he dodged a swing from Riptide.

"Shut up!"

"I wanted to go to Hades myself and trade the Lighting bolt for your mother! I didn't want you to find out this way!"

"You are the reason she is there in the first place!"
