Legacy of Asgard

Oh, It's You...

Ch.10

Percy put himself in between Reyna and the creature as he backed up a bit forcing her to do the same.

"What in the name of the gods is that?" Reyna asked nervously as she looked at the vaguely humanoid creature gawking at them from a dozen yards away.

Percy let out a humorless laugh, "Funny you should mention those gods, I don't think the Olympians would know much about this one."

Reyna was confused by his response. She stepped out from behind him and drew her gladius.

"I don't care what it is, it's going to die now."

"Reyna don't," Percy warned. "You don't know what you're doing. This isn't a monster you know how to fight."

"If it can bleed, then it can die." Reyna replied stepping towards the monster as it stalked forward.

"Don't!" Percy yelled as a huge gust of wind came in and knocked the Roman demigoddess right off her feet.

She looked up from her back to see 'Jack' with a pained expression on his face. He looked at her apologetically, "I am sorry about this but I don't have a choice anymore."

Reyna's face twisted into a confused expression as 'Jack' chanted a few words in a strange language. The air around him seemed to shimmer a bit before she gasped. There stood the teen she had met years earlier with Jason, the one that had saved them from Lycaon only to disappear never to be seen again; the teen she had never forgotten since that fateful day when he proclaimed they would need him on day. She noticed how this Perseus and Jack did look slightly similar now that she saw him again. His hair was darker and his eyes were a bright blue but instead of whites, his sclera were tinted yellow making his eyes all that more terrifying and appealing at the same time.

His face looked upset as he looked at her before it turned angry as he turned to the monster.

"So, the son of Thor comes out of the hiding." It grunted gruffly.

Percy's hand went to his bracelet as Mjolnir appeared his hand. Thunder rumbled loudly overhead and lightning flashed across the skies lighting up the starless night. A bolt of lightning dropped from the sky making Reyna gasp when it hit Percy but when the bright light vanished, he stood unharmed but now decked out in strange looking armor.

"Grendel, I believe," he growled back. "Hel brought you back did she? Then I suppose I will have to rectify that now, won't I?"

Grendel gave an amused grin before charging at the last child of Asgard. Percy hurled Mjolnir at the beast but Grendel dropped to the ground as it flew over him harmlessly before he jumped to his feet resuming his charge.

Percy smiled evilly Grendel closed in on him. He was about to lunge at the demigod when Mjolnir cracked the large gremlin like creature in the back sending him stumbling towards Percy who stepped aside, his hand reaching out as Mjolnir flew back to him.

Grendel crashed hard to the ground as Percy raised his hammer to attack again when a scream stopped him in his tracks. He turned to Reyna to see her being held by the hair by an even larger looking monster.

Percy eyes widened in realization and he cursed loudly.

"Damn it. Grendel and his mother. I should have known that." He growled at himself.

"I would drop that weapon son of lightning." The creature hissed at him.

Percy narrowed his eyes but glanced at Reyna who still had her gladius gripped tightly in her left hand. He dropped Mjolnir as he stared at her, shaking his head slightly, pleading for her to not do anything but the stubborn daughter of Bellona twisted around and drove the blade straight into the monster's stomach.
