Crashing a Cruise

Several weeks later

Percy's POV:

I was on Blackjack along with Beckendorf as we flew quietly over the water at a breakneck pace. Beckendorf had a pack filled with remote detonated explosives, along with the remote.

"Percy, you ready for this?" Beck asked, finally breaking the silence

"I was born ready. Remember the plan though, get in, plant the bombs, you get out on Blackjack, and I will jump into the water and swim away" I repeated and Beck nodded as Blackjack neared the cruise ship

I had cloaked my weapons saying I had put them in my cabin so I only had my hidden blades, allowing me to be stealthier.

"Three, two, one, jump" I say and we both leapt off of Blackjack as he flew up next to the side of the ship and we landed on the deck with a soft thud

"Alright, now to find the engine room" Beck said as he started sneaking around and I followed making sure nothing was behind us

After a few minutes, we found the engine room, and I snuck in spotting three traitorous demigods.

'No mercy for those who choose the enemy side' Iota said and Instinct scolded him for being so heartless

I ignored Iota for the time being as I snuck up behind one and quickly wrapped my arm around his neck and put a hand over his mouth making sure he caused no sound before he was knocked out. I quickly did the same to the other two before motioning Beck in while I tied the three demigods up.

"How long Beck?" I asked as I took up a position at the door

"Fifteen minutes at most, three minutes at least" He said as he got to work and around four minutes in I heard two voices and I stepped back

As soon as the door opened I surged forward and extended my hidden blades into the throats of two empousa causing them to stare at me with shock and fear as they turned to dust. After that, I closed the door and braced against it.

"Beck, how much longer? They will notice their patrol not return soon and that really puts a time limit on this" I said and Beck nodded as he finished putting on the last explosive

"Done, now let's get out of here" He said and I smirked

'Instinct, get Blackjack' I said mentally and I felt a nod

"Let's go" I said as I opened the door and lead the way back out to the pick-up point

It was slow going but after what felt like an hour, we got back to the side of the ship and Blackjack appeared. However, a mob of voices and the thundering of foot falls across the deck made time very limited.

"Go Beck, I'll be right behind you, but if you don't see me in ten minutes blow this thing sky high" I said and Beck shook his head

"No, Luke told me to be careful of your suicidal tendencies, just jump off now" Beck said and I heard the voices grow louder

"There is no time, I swear on the Styx I will return, now get on Blackjack and get a safe distance away!" I shouted as the first traitor demigod rounded a corner, notched an arrow, pulled it back and fired

Beck nodded as thunder rumbled and he jumped onto Blackjack who sped away faster than you can say 'Angry Fangirls'. I spun around and knocked the arrow away before back peddling a bit down the walkway to make sure Blackjack got away before turning and sprinting away.
