Hey guys, Corsair here. I don't own PJO or HOO. All rights belong to Rick Riordan and blah blah blah. You get the gist, right? So anyway, please review and enjoy the story.


Percy was on a quest in the appalachian mountains. He had just killed the manticore again and was on his way back to Camp Half Blood when he stumbled upon three empousai. He ducked behind a tree and waited for them to walk by, then he followed them. He walked into a camp site and saw one of them cornering some mortals.

"I thought mortals were beneath you Kellie."

"Well, if it isn't Perseus Jackson. Are you here for me or just passing through?"

One of the other empousai with her charged Percy. His sword passed cleanly through. As she dissolved away, he smiled at the other two. They turned and ran. He chased them for miles until he saw some wolves blocking his path. He turned to go around them, but there were hunters blocking his path. He ran straight at the hunters. He dove at them and swung his sword. The hunter blocked it with her knife, and Percy spun around her and ran off. The hunters turned around and started shooting at him. He kept running until he heard a familiar voice call to him.

"You're better than I remember Kelp Head."

"Why are you after me?"

"Zeus has requested your presence on Olympus. He commanded Artemis to find you, and here we are. Artemis gave me orders to give you this bag and tell you to run. She got a feeling you wouldn't survive the meeting with Zeus. He fears you more than anything."

Thalia jumped down from the tree and tossed a silver backpack to him.

"Inside is some money, nectar and ambrosia, and some silver knives in case you run into Lycaon."

"Thanks. Well see you around."

"Hopefully not soon. The next time we meet, we'll be forced to fight."

Percy turned and ran as fast as he could. Once he felt he got far enough, he stopped and looked at the contents of a bag. He pulled out a jacket. He put it on and found three knives hidden inside. He then took the money and godly food, and put it in his pocket. He threw the backpack aside and started off again.

After a while, he stopped.

"Not bad kid, except that Zeus sent more than just Artemis and her hunters after you."

The voice seemed to be coming from all around him.

"Show yourself Ares."

"Figured it out already? Well then, I guess your butt-kicking comes a little early, and afterward, maybe you'll make it to Olympus. After all, he never said you had to be alive when he saw you."

Ares materialized in front of Percy. He had a sword in hand and didn't wait to charge. Percy dove under the first swing. He rolled to his feet and pulled out Riptide. He parried the next strike and swung down at Ares' head. Ares raised his sword just in time to block the strike. Percy immediately kicked Ares in the stomach and jumped back. Ares charged again. Percy ducked under the strike and stabbed his sword into Ares' stomach. Ares grabbed Percy and threw him against a tree. Percy dropped to the ground unconscious. Ares smirked, and then picked him up and flashed to Olympus.

(Hours later on Olympus)

Percy sat up in the middle of the council chamber and rubbed his aching head.

"Well, now that you're awake, we can get to business. I summoned you here to offer you a choice." Zeus said.

"What choice?"

"I offer you the chance to become a god once more. You could live forever among the heavens or with your father in the ocean."

"No. I told you before that I don't want to be god, and I still don't."

"Very well. You have made your choice. PERSEUS JACKSON, I BANISH YOU TO THE PIT OF TARTARUS!"

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! PERCY HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!"

Poseidon's trident appeared in his hand, and he threw it at Zeus. Before anybody could blink, two arrows had pinned Poseidon to his throne, and Athena stood in front of Zeus with the trident stuck in her shield.

"YOU DARE ATTACK ME!"

Poseidon broke the arrows and stood up.

"YOU ARE BANISHING MY SON FOR NOTHING! I CAN'T JUST SIT BY AND WATCH!"

"FATHER, STOP!"

Every head in the room turned to look at him.

"It's fine. Don't go to war over this. We all know the life of a hero isn't a long one. I was expected to die a long time ago."

"Very well, but I will not forget this. If anything further happens brother, just remember that Percy won't be here to stop me."

With that, Poseidon flashed out of the room. Zeus turned and looked at Percy.

"Does anybody else have something to say before we begin?"

"Just tell everybody good bye for me."

The gods one by one shrunk to human size and circled Percy. A few looked sad, laid a hand on his shoulder, while others just stood there expressionless. Finally, Zeus stood in front of Percy. He raised the masterbolt high above his head and hit the floor in between them. The ground opened up, and Percy fell for what seemed like an eternity.
