Sup Y'all this is my first story, always looking for improvement tips. There are no powers in this. Basically, the "gods" are just power hungry people who want to control everything and Percy is trying to put a stop to their reign and make things go back to how they were before the virus was unleashed.

Percy P.O.V

I'm going to kill Koda. Everything up to this point is his fault. The failed mission, the reason I'm in a cell, and why Tyson never got his peanut butter. I guess I owe you an explanation.

Tyson, my half-brother on my father's side, loves peanut butter and with this whole rebellion thing going on peanut butter is not very high on the half-bloods priority list. I guess Koda was feeling bad for the big guy and decided to take me, Thalia, and Piper to try and steal some from the god's city.

We all put on disguises, slipped past the guards at the gate and were in the center of Olympus. I hate this place and rather be here to set it on fire than to steal peanut butter but that time would come. Soon hopefully.

Koda started to wander off and I had to pull him back to the group. He may be 20 but he acted like a 12-year-old most of the time. Thalia's head was on a swivel, always on the lookout for any suspicious activity. Piper was playing soccer with a rock...she was actually one of my best soldiers but I could tell she was just bored and probably didn't want to be here any more than I did.

The four of us headed towards a food store but stopped dead when we saw an Olympus security truck heading our way. They couldn't possibly know we were here.

"Stay calm, it's not for us. Olympus doesn't know we are here, they can't." The girls nodded yet Koda just looked off into the distance toward the gated palace where the gods lived. I felt a chill up my spine, was Koda a spy? No, he couldn't be. Koda was my second, I trusted him with my life.

Yet, his for once serious expression did not sit well with me. Before I could say something to him the truck flew by without even a look towards us.

"Told you. Now come on, I wanna get out of here as fast as possible."

We entered the store and split up. The faster we found the peanut butter the faster we leave. I headed towards the snacks and stared longingly at my favorite ones. Cheetos, Pringles, cheesy chex mix. Augh I hate being on the poor side of this war. We only have enough for Tyson's peanut butter. The mission silenced my stomachs needs and I trudged past the snacks.

My phone buzzed, it was Thalia. She found the peanut butter and wants us to meet her at the bathrooms. I headed that way until I heard grunting a few feet away. I went over to the next aisle and wanted to punch Koda right there and then.

The idiot had gone and gotten his arm stuck in a vending machine reaching for some M&M's at the bottom. He looked up when he heard my footsteps approaching and gave me a cheeky smile.

"Percy! What's up, bro? Uh, I may or may not have gotten myself into a predicament." I was about to try and help him tug it out when he gave it a particularly hard push and it started to tip off balance. All I heard was an unusually high-pitched scream and then a crash. When I turned back towards Koda, he was trapped under the vending machine, glass all around him. A groan of pain was my only indicator he was okay. "Damn it, Koda!" I started toward him and that's when I heard it. Sirens...getting louder and louder. Thalia and Piper appeared around the corner with panic written all over their faces.

"Percy! What the hell happened?" Thalia said in her gruff voice that meant she was ready to hit somebody.

"This idiot got his arm stuck in a vending machine and then knocked it over!" I said gesturing to Koda. Piper was trying to help him out from under the machine.

Thalia turned towards the exit which already had a few Olympus trucks outside. "Shit! Percy we gotta get out of he-" That was all I heard before shots rang out and we dived behind the shelves. I opened my eyes just in time to see a small ball roll towards us. "Gas grenade!" I shouted before it exploded and that was when I blacked out.

Which brings us to now. Which is me, sitting in a dark, cold cell with the urge to kill Koda. I closed my eyes trying to see if I could hear anything going on outside my cell but they must have soundproofed it because all I could hear was my own breathing. I'm not sure how much time passed before someone came into my cell. I saw the black boots of the Olympus guards enter first. 4 pairs, huh I must be a pretty big threat. I mean I am the leader of the rebellion so I guess that makes sense. Then I saw a pair of grey converse enters. Shit.

"Hello Percy, you're looking...rough." A voice I once loved yet now fills me with anger said.

I looked up and had to catch my breath. The rich life has served Annabeth well. Last time I saw her she was a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl. Now she was a breath-taking 20-year-old woman. Her long blonde hair fell over one shoulder and her stormy grey eyes held me captive. I couldn't help myself and felt my eyes wander, looking her up and down. My mouth went dry and I had to shake my head to clear my thoughts. She's the enemy! Stop looking at her like a hormonal teenager! You are the rebellion leader act like it.

"You must forgive me. Your troops kinda took me by surprise so I didn't have enough time to freshen up." I said, each word dripping with sarcasm. I would not let this grey-eyed bitch get the better of me.

She gave a tight smile before coming to stand in front of me. I kept my eyes on her sneakers before I felt my hair being grabbed and my head was jerked up.

"Damn Annabeth, I never knew you liked it rough," I said with a smirk, hoping to piss her off. A knee connecting with my face was the indicator that I had succeeded.

"You know, seeing as you are not in the best situation, I wouldn't be so much of a smart ass." She gave my head another rough tug. "Now, you are going to tell me the truth or your friends will die. Where is Luke?"

A part of me was happy she asked this question just so I could see the look on her face when I tell her. The other part was disgusted I had to bring up that memory.

I gave her a wicked smile, the same smile that earned the nickname The Green-Eyed Demon. "He's swimming with the fishes. Alongside my father." I said in a bitter tone. "I sent him there myself."

Her expression was somewhere between wanting to murder me and wanting to cry. I knew what Luke was to her. The dumb bastard would not shut up about it when he was captured. I would have to stand guard and listen to all the things he would do to her when he escaped. I never meant to kill him honestly. He tricked the guard on watch and escaped but I caught up with him. We were both on the edge of a cliff that was right above the raging ocean. He had backed me up onto the ledge and somehow I turned us around and he slipped. The last thing I saw was Luke's wide-eyed face falling down into the raging waves and jagged rocks. This happened a week ago and I guess Annabeth just thought we still had him captured.

"You're lying." She said in a broken voice. But she knew I wasn't, not if my friend's lives were on the line. She let go and turned away. Before she walked out she whispered something into the guard's ear. After she disappeared two of the guards walked towards me.

"Hey fellas, how's it go-" That was all I got out before the punches started coming and I blacked out again.
