Hey! So, this is what I came up with to replace The Rise of Xerxes. I hope it's to your satisfaction. For all of you who've read PJO Chaos FFs, this may be similar in some ways, but it is NOT a chaos FF.

Anyways, enjoy! Please review!

Several things confused Percy, TV remotes, Rubik's Cubes, Greek Mythology, battle tactics… The thing that confused him the most at the moment, however, was the fact that none of the cabin leaders were at camp. He'd searched the entire camp, and they were nowhere to be seen. Finally, giving up his search, he went to the Athena cabin to ask where everyone is. Surely they'd know, right?

Percy P.O.V

I knocked on the door of the Athena cabin. I knew Annabeth wasn't there(I looked in the windows earlier), but I hoped one of her siblings might know where she, and the rest of the cabin leaders, are.

A few seconds after my hand left the door, it opened. Standing in the doorway was Annabeth's brother Malcolm. His eyes widened, although I don't really understand why. I mean, we've met before. It's not like he's a new camper that thinks of me as some kind of legend.

"Percy? What are you doing here?" He asked. Surprise was evident in his voice.

I raised an eyebrow, "What? Should I not be here?" I responded with a question of my own.

"No! You should be at the reward ceremony on Olympus, with Annabeth and all the other cabin leaders! They're supposed to be rewarding you for defeating Gaea and the giants!" Malcolm shot back.

Wait, what? A reward ceremony on Olympus? And they didn't invite me? Or, more likely, they did, and I forgot.

I sighed, "Thanks for telling me where they are, Malcolm."

He nodded, "No problem, but you should get to Olympus. They're probably waiting for you."

Grinning, I turned away from Malcolm and the Athena cabin, and did my best taxi cab whistle.

A minute later, I was flying through the sky on the back of my trusty pegasus, Blackjack.

Yo! Boss, can we stop to get donuts? Blackjack asked.

I laughed, "Maybe later, Blackjack. We're almost there. Correction, we're there." I said as we landed on the magnificent floating city known as Olympus.

"I'll be right back." I said to Blackjack as I jumped off his back, and ran toward the Olympian throne room. Eventually reaching the huge doorway, I ran in, seeing as the doors were already open.

I'll admit it, I was excited. I thought they'd offer me immortality. Of course, I'd refuse the offer, but still… It's very exciting to think about.

So yeah. I was excited. And that made it even more of a shock when I heard Zeus speak.

"Perseus MUST be eliminated! He is too big of a threat, and…" He trailed off as he saw me enter the room.

"Percy!" My dad exclaimed, anger evident on his face. I was confused as to why he was angry. That is, until I looked at who was sitting at his feet.

Jeff. My stupid, wretched, cowardly excuse for a half-brother. That explained everything. He'd been trying to ruin my life ever since he'd been claimed, which was a few weeks ago, during the last few days of the second giant war.

"What's going on? Why must I be eliminated? I'm not a threat! My fatal flaw prevents me from betraying those I love!" I felt tears in my eyes.

"Don't lie to us, BOY. We KNOW you were a spy for Gaea. We KNOW you're a traitor. We have a witness." Artemis said, glaring at me with hate-filled eyes. If looks could kill, I would've died, and then gone through Tartarus three times.

"Percy… How could you betray us…?" Annabeth asked quietly, although she was clearly angry.

My eyes widened in shock, "Annabeth… You can't possibly believe that I'm a traitor!" I said, but it was clear that she did.

Looking around the room, I asked, "Who witnessed me? I couldn't have been anyone, because I never betrayed you!"

"SILENCE!" Zeus thundered, "Your half-brother, Jeff, witnessed you speaking with Gaea herself before the final battle!".

"What? You can't believe him! All he's ever wanted to do is ruin my life!" I was starting to get desperate. I was half hoping it was all a joke, and someone would yell, "Surprise! You aren't really going to die! We'll grant you immortality!".

But no. I had no such luck.

"Why shouldn't we believe him? He's the greatest hero that ever lived. He's slain the Minotaur, the Hydra, and he's survived a fight with a titan!" Athena said.

I wanted to yell, "Yeah! So have I!", but I couldn't seem to be able to get the words out.

Zeus looked around the room. "Well then, it seems some of us believe young Perseus is innocent. We shall put it to a vote. Hades, Hestia, you may vote as well. Now, all in favor of allowing Perseus to live?"

Six hands went up, Hades, Hestia, Apollo, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Hermes.

Zeus nodded, "All in favor of eliminating him?"

Eight hands went up this time. Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Ares, Dionysus, and...

Poseidon. My own father wanted me dead.

After all I'd done for them. I saved the gods TWICE. And this is what they decide to do. They decide to kill me.

"It is settled then." Zeus spoke again. He raised his master bolt, and aimed it at me. "Do you have any last words?"

I shook my head. I had nothing worth saying.

"Alright then. Perseus, you are hereby sentenced to death. You shall not be honored. The memory of you shall forever be accompanied with insults and taunts, for today, you die a traitor."

And with that, he threw the bolt. It hit me in the chest, and for a moment, I felt the worst pain I could have ever imagined. It felt as though my very soul had been torn from my body. And then, as soon as the pain came, it was gone. I felt nothing. Scratch that. I felt numb.

I was floating in some strange place, above me, was an yellow color that was as bright and brilliant as the sun. Below me, was a pure silver color that was as soft and gentle as the moon. I was floating in some in-between space, and as I floated there, I wondered if that was what it felt like to be dead.
