Chapter 1: Betrayed
STORY TITLE: Betrayed by the Stupid Gods
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything except my OCs and plots.
This story occurs after Leo beats Gaia. Percy is 18 years old, and it is summer.
The Throne Room - Olympus
Percy POV
I was summoned to the throne room. I didn't know what they were doing, calling me here.
"Perseus Jackson, you must wonder why we summoned you here," Zeus asked, smugly.
"Yes, milord, I do wonder," I said with confusion.
"Well, Perseus, we have been worrying that you are too powerful for the gods. You could overthrow us," Zeus said.
"Yes?" I said, uncertain of what this was leading up to.
"The council has voted, and we have decided that we will execute you," Zeus said.
"Can you at least tell me who voted for me to die?" I asked. I had an escape route ready, and I was shielding my mind.
"Everyone voted for you to die," Zeus said happily. I looked on with shock at my father. He looked back on with cold eyes.
"Fine. Poseidon, you idiot, you're not my father anymore. I disown you," I said coldly. Then I went up to Ares and made him face Riptide. That idiot wasn't paying attention! He got faded while I glowed sea green/red
"Treason! You are now to die more painfully," Zeus said to me angrily. All the Olympians looked at me in shock (except for one, who was faded).
"Well, you started it. Bye," I said, vapor-traveling away to the Underworld. As I left I heard Zeus say, "We will get you, Perseus!" I knew he could get me, but only with Artemis.
Hades' Palace - The Underworld
Percy POV
You might be thinking, how did I get so strong? And why the Underworld? It all started yesterday.
Flashback START
I was walking down in the woods when a figure appeared in front of me.
"Percy, the gods think you're too powerful. They are planning to execute you tomorrow," The figure said.
"Wait, who are you?" I asked, wondering who this person was.
"I am someone from the past," Bianca de Angelo explained, taking off the cloak. "You have to get something planned. I am working with Hades. He has decided to improve Riptide and let immortals fade from it. Hades can also hear this conversation."
"Thank you, Bianca and Hades," I said to her. I was still in shock over how my crush was alive.
"Tell Annabeth, also, so she knows," Bianca said.
"The thing is, Annabeth broke up with me a few days ago," I said sadly.
"Well, when they flash you to the throne room, vapor-travel away. Go to the underworld after that. The only people that can figure out where you are Artemis and her hunters," Bianca said urgently. I was thinking that she was a little suspicious because she didn't acknowledge that Annabeth broke up with me. This wasn't her. Then I pushed that thought away. I was starting to sound like I wanted pity!
"OK, Bianca, I will do what you say," I said, mad at the gods (excluding Hades, of course), and what they decided.
"Bye, Percy," Bianca said softly.
"Bye, Bianca," I said, sadly.
Flashback END
So that's how I got here, in the Underworld, with Hades on my side.
"Ah, welcome Percy," Hades said, bringing me to my senses. "I have decided that you are going to act like a mortal and go to school. You could manipulate the mist now, and make yourself seem younger. You are going to be in an elementary school. Oh, and also, you are going under the name Drake. Hide well," Hades said.
"Why do I have to go to a school?" I asked, unsure of why he thought of that.
"It is all part of my master plan, which you will learn in a year," Hades said mysteriously.
"OK," I said, ready to go. And then I got flashed away to an elementary school (it was the day before school started).
Hades' Palace - The Underworld
Hades POV
Ha, that stupid demigod is falling for my trap. I don't want him to live. I still hold a grudge against him for killing Bianca. I never recruited Bianca for this scheme. It was all the mist.
Hades' Palace - The Underworld
3rd POV
Little did Hades know, but Bianca de Angelo was back from the dead and knew his schemes.
