This story starts after Cronus has died in the Last Olympian. Everything is the same except Luke survived. The gods are deciding what to do with him. I don't own Percy Jackson.

(Percy pov)

I sat there watching as the gods argued about what to do with Luke. In my opinion, he should be put on probation, made to do work for the gods for 10 years. However it seemed Zeus wanted a more severe punishment. I looked over at him and Annabeth. They looked so scared but happy that they were together. I looked down and saw that they were holding hands. Right then it hit me. She would and could never love me. She has been in love with Luke since she was a little girl. He was her knight in shining armor. I was just her seaweed brained pal. I thought we had something since that kiss on Mt. Saint Helens. I guess I was wrong. As I looked back to the gods I knew I had to do something to help Annabeth. I may not be the guy she loves but I still love her and want to make her happy. Right then Zeus made his final decision.

"He shall be punished!" Zeus boomed, "An eternity in Tartarus."

"NO!" I screamed. All eyes snapped to me. "He will not. It's because of your neglect that caused this war. Your rules Zeus, caused all this death and saddens. You will not punish him for the Gods wrong doings."

"How dare you disrespect me boy."

"I don't give a damn about you Zeus." I walk into the middle of the room and address all the gods. "You have done nothing for us heroes. We are your children and we die on a constant basis. All we ask is for some notice from our parents, but, you can't even do that for us. You don't care one way or another. It's pathetic."

All the gods looked down in shame.

"Someone must be punished," Athena said. "We can't let something this big go unpunished. You must understand that Perseus"

"I understand," I all but whisper. "If you want to punish someone it will be me."

Shouts of indignation are herd from the campers

"Why would we punish you Percy?" Apollo asked. "You're the hero, we owe you our lives and you have won all our respect."

"It's because I'm the hero. I've been through so much and have been tested over and over again. This will just be another test. Think about it. I've been to hell in back, twice. I battled a Cyclops and got the lost fleece, I held up the Sky, I survived the labyrinth and I alone bare the cures of Achilles. I have fought gods and monster and titans. I may have had help along the way but I'm the only demigod that will be able to survive your punishment."

I look around the room at my dad and my friends the look like they are about to cry. It never occurred to me how much I have done with my short life. I have lived a hard but good life. I've made friends and was given a family so big it's insane. Plus, throughout this war my best friends survived along with my mom and dad. I would figure that's pretty good. I turned to Zeus and squared my shoulders to him.

"So you will punish me not Luke or any other demigods. You will also start to recognize the minor gods here on Olympus and in Camp Half Blood. You will also recognize Lord Hades and Lady Hestia as well. It looks like you need to rebuild so Annabeth will be made Architect for Olympus. Grover will be made Lord of the Wild. Tyson will be given a new club and be made a general of the Cyclops. And Luke will be made a sword teacher at Camp. Also Mr. D's punishment will be lifted he may stay at camp but he will be able to drink, in moderation of course. My Final request is that you recognize all you children. Your neglect will never be a cause of war."

"Now why should we answer your demands Peruses?" Ares sneered.

"Because I just saved you all. Also I took on a titan do you think I couldn't beat you, again?"

"Fine if you want to be punished then you will be. We will also swear on the River Styx to do you what you asked us to do as well," Hera announced. "We are sorry that our hero is being punished but once you return we will delegate on a proper gift for you."

"What?" Many gods roared.

"He just saved us all we are in his debt he shall be given what he wants."

"Fine. I sentence you to five years in Tartarus." Zeus roared as he drew his master bolt.

"Noooooo!" my dad and friends yelled.

He then shot it at me. It came at me in slow motion. That thing I did was look into Annabeth's beautiful eyes and smiled. It got blazing hot and then everything went black.

(Annabeth's pov)

As the gods decided Luke's fate I felt him grab my hand. I knew that I loved Percy but right then Luke gave me a look that this was more for moral support than any love feelings. He would and always be my brother. I looked over at Percy he had a look of disappoint cross his face and then determination.

"He shall be punished!" Zeus boomed "An eternity in Tartarus" "He shall be punished!" Zeus boomed, "An eternity in Tartarus."

"NO!" Percy screamed. What are you doing Percy. "He will not. It's because of your neglect that caused this war. Your rules Zeus, caused all this death and saddens. You will not punish him for the Gods wrong doings."

"How dare you disrespect me boy."

"I don't give a damn about you Zeus." What are you doing seaweed brain don't piss off the king of the gods. "You have done nothing for us heroes. We are your children and we die on a constant basis. All we ask is for some notice from our parents, but, you can't even do that for us. You don't care one way or another. It's pathetic."

The passion an angry in Percy's eyes was intense.

"Someone must be punished," Athena said. "We can't let something this big go unpunished. You must understand that Perseus"

"I understand," He looked so sad. "If you want to punish someone it will be me."

What?! No Percy don't say that.

"Why would we punish you Percy?" Apollo asked. "You're the hero, we owe you our lives and you have won all our respect."

"It's because I'm the hero. I've been through so much and have been tested over and over again. This will just be another test. Think about it. I've been to hell in back, twice. I battled a Cyclops and got the lost fleece, I held up the Sky, I survived the labyrinth and I alone bare the cures of Achilles. I have fought gods and monster and titans. I may have had help along the way but I'm the only demigod that will be able to survive your punishment."

I start to cry. Percy has a hard life, even by demigod standards. He is really the best hero the gods have ever seen. And now he wants to take a punishment that not his. I never really understood how one man could be as selfless as Percy was.

"So you will punish me not Luke or any other demigods. You will also start to recognize the minor gods here on Olympus and in Camp Half Blood. You will also recognize Lord Hades and Lady Hestia as well. It looks like you need to rebuild so Annabeth will be made Architect for Olympus. Grover will be made Lord of the Wild. Tyson will be given a new club and be made a general of the Cyclops. And Luke will be made a sword teacher at Camp. Also Mr. D's punishment will be lifted he may stay at camp but he will be able to drink, in moderation of course. My Final request is that you recognize all you children. Your neglect will never be a cause of war."

I look at Poseidon, hoping he will step in and stop this nonsence. But he looks frozen he just looks so troubled

"Now why should we answer your demands Peruses?" Ares sneered.

"Because I just saved you all. Also I took on a titan do you think I couldn't beat you, again?"

"Fine if you want to be punished then you will be. We will also swear on the River Styx to do you what you asked us to do as well," Hera announced. "We are sorry that our hero is being punished but once you return we will delegate on a proper gift for you."

"What?" Many gods roared.

"He just saved us all we are in his debt he shall be given what he wants."

"Fine. I sentence you to five years in Tartarus." Zeus roared as he drew his master bolt.

"Noooooo!"I screamed and ran toward Percy

He then shot it at Percy. It moved so fast I could only look at Percy's sea green eyes one more time. Then poof he was gone. And I fell to the floor crying. All that was left was a dark burn mark.

"How could you do that to him?" I screamed turning and staring at the gods. "He just saved all of you. He was a hero! He was the best person in the world. He was a good friend and would have died for any of you gods," I yelled at them as I started to tremble. Grover and Luke ran to hold me but I pushed them. Angry coursed through me. "He did everything you asked and you send him Tartarus. He loved all of you gods, even Ares. Do you know why? It's because here Percy finally felt he had a home. He finally felt he had a family. He was the best hero in the world. He was my best friend and I loved him. And you killed him by sending him there. Mark my words Percy won't be the same. You destroyed the best of us!" I remember falling to my knees and crying. I then blacked out.

So should I continue or not. Please read and review.
