Champion of the Fallen: Throne of Olympus

Chapter 1: Starts can be ends too

Hello, my name is Percy Jackson, and currently, I'm in chains.

I know, you might be a bit confused, but to understand, I'll have to tell this story from the beginning:

[Flashback scene]

Everything would be awesome that day, the war was finally over, the earth mother 'lulled' back to her eternal, painful, slumber, and the gods one again on their thrones in Olympus. My life was great in comparison, better than my time with gabe anyway.

Then, everything went downhill. It started with me meeting my dear brother, Nate O'brien.

I was napping under thalia's tree, on a very warm and sunny day, when I heard a yell for help. I hastily ran to the source, I was on guard duty and it would be my responsibility to at least help the demigod, if he was in danger

A young teenager was running away, a pack of dragon ladies (I never learned the name of those guys!) were chasing him. The boy was yelling and calling for help, so I ran to the monsters, and slammed the nearest one to a tree, with more force than necessary. I slammed her head to the tree a couple of times and she was reduced to dust. Then I uncapped my sword, and threw the monster's sword at the boy, who I have to admit, was good for someone who hadn't seen a sword before.

He swinged the sword casually, testing its speed, then he shoved it inside one of the monsters, quickly destroying her. I knew he knew a thing or two about offensive fighting, his attacks were brutal, but effective. I found about his lack in defense skills when he failed to parry an attack from the last monster. I quickly ran to the attacking monster and killed it. a minute after the fight was over, I turned to check over the boy. I had the chance to take a look at him at last.

He was this tall, scrawny boy with messy black hair and sea green eyes. He wore a Tshirt and jeans, and he was gripping the sword like his life depended on it.

I sighed "c'mon, let's get you back to the camp" the other demigod asked in confusion "wait, theres a camp around here?" I smirked "of course, why else would you be running here?" he smiled "I had a dream. Some guy with a weird weapon sitting on a throne told me to go to the woods around long island. I've been escaping those…whatever they are… for a day or two. I got lucky you found me, didn't i?"

I smiled back "you'll get the complete story in the camp, but I'll try to …ehm… debrief you on the way"

And started walking back to the camp. As we were walking i said "you're like me…a half blood. Part of you is human", the other guy frowned "and the other half…" I smirked "you're half god. The official term's half-blood, or demigod. Your mom or dad was a god, an immortal. Probably an Olympian or minor god, but we're had titan borns too, and a few cases of self-insert authors, now that was a weird story"

About an hour later, the unclaimed demigod watched the debriefing video and we went to the campfire. I was pretty sure he'd get claimed by the same 'guy with a weird weapon' that night, but even I was surprised by that night's story

In the middle of the sing-along, Poseidon, my dear father teleported into the camp, and shouted "Demigods! I have come to you to introduce you my son!" I thought wait, his son? "Nate O'Brien, the Son of Poseidon" wait, that guy's my brother? He's as old as me? I narrowed my eyes and I rose "you mean you had me do all that stuff for you, while that guy, who I've never even seen until now, was living his merry life? All my friends dead because of my leadership, and I to go with the guilt, and you said I was your 'favorite' son?"

All the camp was silent, you don't normally argue with an Olympian about your fate. You know what? Screw fate!

Poseidon's reply …surprised me. "Silence! You insolent mortal dare question the choices of an Olympian?" we all got silent. Most in fear, me in the shock of the fact that my father was acting so OOC. He didn't leave it at that, he continued "you dare compare yourself with my favorite son?" I snorted "so he's your favorite son?" he nodded. I turned to nate and said "I've got nothing against you brother, no worries there" and I looked at Poseidon "let him be your only son then! Let his be the new champion of the gods, the new leader. Make him be the one responsible for his comrades' death then. Leo, silena, Michael, beckendorf, ethan, luke…all of them…Release me of this burden, for you are no more of a father to me than gabe was.

And before Poseidon know what I had actually said, I ran to by cabin, slammed the door. Not giving a damn about that special trident that would took form on my brother's head.

Now don't get me wrong: nate wasn't a bad brother. He didn't try to undermine me, or take my power, since we were both sons of Poseidon, people looked up on both of us. He didn't make my friends hate me and didn't make gods distrust me. We even went on a quest together, one to release the oracle of Delphi from the mighty Python, and contrary to common belief, we made a pretty good team.

Soon enough, I had forgotten the whole poseidon's favorite son fiasco, and everything was back to normal for a while.

Until I went to that blasted date. I was going to the beach, to have a date with Annabeth, who had gotten a bit distant with me.

I saw nate staring at the ocean, deep in thought. I saw Annabeth walk there, so I hid, waiting to surprise her. She walked towards him, grabbed his shoulders, and kissed him. Deeply.

To nate's defense, he was shocked, although I'm not sure if it was the kiss itself, or the stealth used before it.

My anger and pain started to effect water, it started to boil. She stopped and smiled "wow. Someone's excited!"

Nate took a step back and said "that's not me, and also…WHAT THE HELL Annabeth?" she snickered "of course…wait you said it wasn't you?" both of them paled, and as I walked towards them, they muttered "uh-ho…"

Annabeth tried hitting nate, putting the blame on him, but I snarled "leave it. You know what? You're not worth my time" she cried "percy…please…it's not what it looks like"

Maybe it wasn't, but I didn't care. The sea started to boil. A large geyser of water shot out of it. I turned it into something like a hand, and grabbed the two 'lovebirds'. The wave held them and I yelled (and I don't know how, but no one noticed me doing it) "I held Uranus for you. I saved your life more times than possible, I jumped in tartarus after you. Because I loved you, and I hed a fucking illusion that you loved me too. You know what? You're not worth such trouble. Have fun with your new lover. From his face, it was obvious that nate was trying to control the Water around them, calming the sea, but to no avail. I threw them down, knowing nate wouldn't die, and he could save her. But in a second, a blinding light covered me.

Next thing I know, I'm in olympu, shackled and chained. Fortunately not gagged.

[flashback scene over]

The entire council was looking at me with contempt. Zeus cleared his throat "Perseus Jackson" I chuckled darkly, while noticing Annabeth, thalia, nate, Jason, reyna and the rest of my friends around me.

I said "allow me uncle" and I rose "I am perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon, The slayer of monsters. I have killed more monsters than heracles himself, I challenged Hyperion, Kronos, Polybotes, Atlas, and Porphorion, and survived. I led the charge of defense against the hordes of titans, I am the bane of othyris, and the Wanderer of Tartarus." I chuckled again, and as I knelt I said "go on uncle"

Zeus who was fuming in anger, said "you are accused of attempted murder of your fellow demigods, Nate o'brien, son of Poseidon, and Annabeth chase, the Architect of Olympus, and daughter of Athena. What say you in your defense?"

I exhaled "he was cheating on me, and I pushed them in the sea, knowing full well that one of them was a Son of Poseidon, and could keep them safe."

Athena rose "How dare you accuse my daughter of cheating?" I laughed bitterly "after all I've done for your daughter, tell me O goddess of wisdom, would it be wise and logical for me to attack her in anyway if not for that?"

I asked the council "look, I know attacking another demigods' not a moral action, but is it seriously necessary to have a full court?"

Zeus laughed "silence, insolent mortal. You're here because you're accused of treason and attacking the favored champion of Olympus" he cleared his throat and whispered "not to mention your power and skills" he rose "you are too dangerous to let out of here alive, and now that your treason is proved, your fate is in our hands!"

He yelled "all in favor of letting him live?" I wanted to see who was an ally to me in my time of need as well, and Apollo, Hestia, hermes and Hades were the ones who rose. From the mortals, Jason the pontifex, Piper, Hazel and Frank were the only ones of all the Greek demigods and roman legionnaires in the room who rose.

Then nate, my brother, rose too. Great. My brother knows I'm innocent, but my father doesn't.

Zeus yelled "you are hereby deemed guilty of treason, and your punishment is death!"

before he could kill me, Poseidon rose and raised his hand "I no longer deem you, perseus Jackson, my son. You are disowned. So says the lord of the seas!"

a trident, similar to the one that claimed me, came out of my body, and as Poseidon grabbed it I knew I was officially disowned.

Then I heard a strange voice in my head "Fear not, mortal. You will be rescued. We will teleport you to Tartarus before your death. Remember when you descend to tartarus, that you are indebted to us!"

[3rd person POV]

Zeus raised his masterbolt, and threw it at percy, nate yelled "Brother, NO…..", but before it could hit percy, he changed into a shade. There was no sign of a scorched body after the light was back to normal.

Peseidon yelled "what happened to that traitor?" Hestia said "isn't it obvious? He was sent to tartarus. They have claimed him as their champion"

As everyone gasped, Apollo screeched, the green spirit of Delphi rose out of his body, and said "a terrible fate awaits you, Olympians! Your most treasured warrior has disclaimed you as his superiors, and your deadliest crisis has yet to come.

An ancient evil has awakened from his eternal slumber, and without the aid of the prince, you stand no chance against it."

As Apollo rose again, everyone know how badly had they screwed up. Hdes spat "you heard it, we're gonna fight a being we don't know, and we don't have our greatest champion. Congratulations, Olympus! Your hunger for power has officially destroyed you!" athena rose "we may have some luck! We should immortalize the heroes we still possess!" Apollo said "we won't win this without him!"

Athena spat "no way in hades-no offence uncle- will I allow that liar back!"

Apollo snarled "but he didn't lie! Iris, show us the truth!"

And as the story was shown to them, Athena was pale, Annabeth even paler. Apollo snarled "do you see why should we go back to percy?"

Athena whispered "we can't sway him back. Not with is mortal anchors dead" Poseidon, who was red in shame, said "WHAT?" she replied "I killed his last mortal friends and family when he accused her of cheating, I was under the impression that he'd see them down there anyway. Surey the moment they find him, he'll be informed of it. Our fate is sealed"

Hermes murmured "what about his loyalty? We can still ask him back", piper said "there won't be any loyalty. He no longer considers us friends or family. Not after he saw no one vouch for him at his time of need"

The all murmured "we're screwed then, aren't we?" but zeus said "NO! I will not have a lost war in my watch, not again! None of you will dare escape to Egypt anymore! All heroes will be immortalized, and then we can send some of them to search for him. We Will get him back! The council is adjourned!"

End of Chapter one

A.N: hey guys, glad to be back (finally)

So this is my new PJA story (I'm not sure if anyone's reading it or anything, but my other PJO stories (if you haven't guessed already) are on a permenant hiatus, until I know what to do with them anyway, if anyone has an idea for any of them, I'd be glad know it in a PM or review.

The thing about Egypt (if you didn't guess) was true. The gods escaped to Egypt when Typhoon attacked the first time, leaving poor Zeus to fight him off (and lose Painfully…like tendons-tore-away painfully)

Poseidon, Annabeth and some of the other characters WILL be OOC (because a) this is an AU and b) I'm not Rick, and I can't figure the characters out the way he does.)

I don't own PJO, or anything you can notice. The only things I own are my ideas (which since this is a fallen-percy story, there is no new ideas), my OCs (if there are gonna be more of them) and my laptop.

That's all folks!

Davoid, signing off!
