A young man, no older than 24, dressed in bronze armor and carried a bronze sword with an inscription, walked forward through a back and gold throne room and knelt in front of the 2 thrones, one was black on which a 20 foot tall regal looking warrior sat and the other was golden and on it sat a 20 foot tall regal looking women who radiated beauty, grace and power.

"My lord Chronos, My Lady Ananke" said the man "You summoned me?"

"Indeed we did young Perseus" replied Chronos "We have reached a decision!"

"We will not aid your cause" said Ananke which caused Percy to lower his head even further in depression. He had been expecting it, but still to be told that their only chance at survival would not aid them was not something he could be happy at. He felt that his only choice now would be to return and prepare with his friends for their inevitable destruction when her next words took him completely by surprise "But we will help you prevent it from ever emerging in the first place!"

"What do you mean? asked a surprised Percy.

"My daughters are willing – rewrite time – so to speak" she replied

"Why?" he asked

"Perseus Jackson, you have sacrificed so much more than any off your predecessors ever did, you fought dozens of times for the survival of life and in return asked for gifts which would never benefit you but helped your kind as a whole. Your full life has been filled with trials and tribulations and yet you never ever shrunk from your tasks" said Chronos "You, above all others are worthy of this gift, that is if you are willing to accept it!"

"What choice do I have my Lord" asked Percy "Go back in time and go through every single betrayal all over again, or stay here and let my friends face their inevitable doom. The only choice here is the former, and that is what I must choose!"

"A gift then, and a blessing, Perseus Jackson" Ananke replied "You have been shielded from all the Gods influences, when you go back follow your heart, your true heart, and don't feel afraid to accept it. Do what you have to do, what you must do, and don't forget to live your life as you should do!"

"I myself have granted you another Gift Perseus, make the most use of it when you return" said Chronos, before tossing him a pearl, "I trust you know how to use that!"

"You will appear at the time when you last used them" said Ananke "Also, you need to know that The Faiths will have to restore the balance when you return so do not worry if things are not as you remember… Goodbye Young Hero, and may you live long and prosper!"

Percy smashed the pearl on his feat and the moment later he was encased in a white spear which glowed for a few seconds before disappearing from the throne room.

Percy Jackson

It was exactly like all those years ago, I appeared in the Santa Monica pear, along side Grover and… Annabeth. I did exactly what I had done last time around and soon enough we were on dry land, or sand, again.

"I don't believe it" said Annabeth "We went all that way…"

"It was a trick" I said "A strategy worthy of Athena!"

"Hey!" she protested

"It was a brilliant move" I said "According to the prophesy we would go west and find the God who had turned, but it wasn't Hades, he didn't want a war with his brothers. Someone else stole the master bolt and the helm of darkness on the solstice and framed me because I am Poseidon's son. By sundown today there will be a 3 way war, and I will have caused it!"

Grover shook his head mystified "But who would be that sneaky? Who would want a war that bad?"

"Look ahead Grover, he his waiting for us" I said, and indeed Ares was leaning on the back of his Harley-Davidson with a baseball bat slung across his shoulder watching us as we drew closer towards him.

"Hey kid" said Ares seemingly genuinely pleased to see me "You were suppose to die!"

"Sorry to disappoint" I replied "So, what exactly was your plan?"

"Quite simple, you were supposed to waltz into the underworld with the master bolt and let Corpse Breath kill you" he replied "Then old Seaweed will be mad at Hades for killing you. Corpse Breath will still have the bolt so old daddy will be mad at him, and Hades will still be looking for this…"

From his pocket he took out a black ski-cap and placed it in between the handles off his bike. Immediately it transformed into an elaborate bronze war helm which caused Grover to gasp in reorganization and say "The Helm of Darkness."

"Exactly" said Ares, "Now where was I? Oh yeah, Hades will be mad at both Zeus and Poseidon because he doesn't know who has it. Pretty soon we have got a nice 3 way slug-fest going on."

"But they are your family" Annabeth protested

Ares shrugged and said "Best kind of war, always the bloodiest. Nothing like watching your relatives fight I always say."

"I guessing that the backpack is some kind of morphed sheath for the master bolt" I said "Probably connected like my pen is to me. You held on to the master bolt until we were in the underworld and then let it return am I right?"

"That's… absolutely right kid" stated Ares "Guess you are good for something!"

"So now we are at a bit off a crossroads are we not Aries" I said "I need both the helm and the bolt in order to stop the impending war and you need to kill me in order for you little war to began, but why stop there...? how about we make tings a bit more interesting with a little wager Lord Ares?"

Ares looked at me a little strangely and said "I see that we are almost off one mind kid, so what do you have in mind?"

"You and me one on one," I said "First person to loose his weapon looses. If I win, I get the bolt and the helm and YOUR war-chariot becomes MINE. If you win you get the bolt, helm, my sword and my life. So what do you say God of War, do you agree to my terms on river Styx?"

"You got spunk kid, I'll give you that" said Ares, his bat turning into a double bladed bronze claymore "Very well I agree to your terms on River Styx!"

Thunder boomed signifying that the pack had been made causing me to smile "Very well then, let the battle began!"

I hesitated for a moment before charging him, our blades met in a shower of sparks before they became blurs as we fought against each other. The first exchange took only seconds and the rest were equally as fast. I let him push me back into the surf, which was what I wanted as every step I took, my base of power grew. Still my mind was not idle and despite the fight taking most of my concentration, I only needed a little concentration to force the waves to recede.

"Little waves" I murmured and the water obeyed me, but the tension started to build up, like carbonation behind a cork, as Ares pushed me further back. I knew that I would have to make my move soon and so I did. He walked forward grinning confidently as I lowered my blade, as if I was too exhausted to go on. Ares raised his sword and I released the tide and jumped, rocketing straight over him on a four meter wave that smashed into him with full force leaving him cursing and spluttering his mouth full of seaweed and his balance completely screwed.

I landed behind him with a soft splash and used the time he took to recover to prepare my next move. All around me was the water, the realm of my father, and so I concentrated on it and drew strength from it. The winds howled and lightning cracked as I formed a hurricane at my feet while at the same time forming a whirlpool at his.

Ares fathered in his attack as he tried to battle against the powers I had inherited from my father. It was an opening, an opening that I capitalized on. In one smooth motion I reached into the backpack as I willed the whirlpool around Ares to freeze leaving the God of War ankle deep in frozen shackles.

In one smooth motion I stabbed Ares with the Master Bolt straight across the chest where his left lung should have been. It crackled with lightning as it electrocuted the Olympian, the frozen sea around his feet preventing the lightning from affecting the rest of the Pier. At that very same moment I twisted my sword using the very first move I learnt from Luke to disarm the God of War. Ares's sword went flying into the pier as Riptide swung around in a wide ark before I pierced Ares is chest where his right lung should have been.

"You Loose!" I growled as I pushed both Celestial Bronze weapons into the God of War's chest, twisting them causing the God of War to scream in utmost agony and disappear in a flash of gold light.

I returned the bolt to its sheath as marched to the Harley Davidson where the Helm of Darkness sat. The Furies stood beside it waiting for me to reach. A moment later I did and I pressed my hand against the bike which pulsed faintly as it recognized its new owner. The bike then started to morph into a gold and black chariot, tethered to 2 pure black stallions with manes of pure black fire, golden eyes and golden hooves. The chariot with amazing detail showing 4 scenes, Thalia standing on half blood hill facing an oncoming horde of monsters, me facing Edchnia and the Chimera at the Arch, me fighting Ares and… and a scene that should not have happened yet, Nico sitting on Mrs. O'Leary and beside them was Hades in his chariot with the armies of the dead at their back getting ready to face the armies of Kronos.

I turned my attention back to the horses. Without the – Blessing – of Ares, though curse was a better word, I recognized the horses immediately and gasped "Nightmares!"

Nightmares, extremely strong fast and powerful beings born from the unholy union between a unicorn and an equignis (no I did not make a spelling mistake). Only four have ever been born and all four have been said to disappear into the strands of time, until now.

"My lord" said the nearest nightmare.

"Now none of that" I said, knowing perfectly well it was extremely beneficial to be humble "I am your new rider, yes. Your friend, hopefully. But your lord… that is something I am not."

"I must disagree with you on that my lord" said the nightmare that was adjacent to the one who had spoken first "You have saved us from that curse that was the blessing of Ares, rescued us from having to answer to his beck and call, and I believe that in our service to you, our former glory will be restored to us. And for that above all you deserve to be called our lord."

The other nightmare quickly added its approval to that and I let up, instead opting to lift the helm of darkness from the chariot and handed it to the Fury Alectro who had just landed beside me alongside her sisters and said "Return the Helm to Hades, tell him… tell him the truth, tell him to call off the war, and … tell him that I am sorry for disrespecting him and will do my best to see that he gains the reorganization he deserves!"

She took the helm and nodded, then ran a forked tongue over her green leathery lips and said "I will…, Live well Perseus, become a true hero. Because if you do not, if you ever come into my clutches again…"

She cackled, savoring the idea, and then she and her sisters rose into the sky and flew into a smoke filled cloud before disappearing from the sky.

"Annabeth, Grover" I called out as the two neared me "I need to get to Olympus by tonight and I have a method to do so, but you guys can't join me, so will you guys be alright here?"

"Yes" said Annabeth "We can make it back to camp, don't worry about us."

"Yeah Perce" added Grover "Get that bolt back to Olympus."

I nodded and smiled at them, well at Grover at least. Even though it had been years since Annabeth had betrayed me I still had feelings for her, as well as the constant echo of hurt I felt thanks to her. Still I mounted the chariot and grabbed the reins whipped them and said "Giddy Yup!"

The horses charged at unbelievable speeds, in fact the only time that I have ever gone so fast was when Arion's pulled us out from the lair of the amazons, the speed was that fast.

"My lord" said one of the Nightmare's "We can shadow travel, if you wish us too."

"What are your names?" I asked as I thought about his suggestion, on one hand it could lead me to Olympus pretty quickly, however, from what I knew about shadow travelling it would also leave them drained for a long time.

"Arthus my lord," replied the Nightmare, "And beside me is my beautiful mate Shandris."

"I see" I said before we began a discussion about the chariot and its abilities which eventually branched to the 4 Nightmares and their respective abilities. The entire journey lasted well over 4 hours but eventually we reached Manhattan and then the nightmares kicked off the road and proceeded to start to fly with the chariot in tow. Soon enough we reached the entrance of Olympus as I looked at the sight which even now managed to take my breath away.

From the tip of the clouds rose a decapitated peak of a mountain, its summit covered with snow. Clinging to the mountainside were dozens of multicolored palaces – a city of mansions – all with white colored porticos, gilded terraces and bronze blazers glowing with a thousand fires. Roads wound crazily up to the peak, where the largest palace gleamed against the snow. Gardens bloomed with olive trees and rosebushes as I rode past an open air market filled with colorful tents. There was a stone amphitheatre built on one side of the mountain and a hippodrome and a coliseum on the other.

I dismounted the chariot in the central courtyard of the palace and fed the Nightmares some ambrosia squares that Ares had stored in his chariot before entering the throne room and looked around at the massive columns rose to a domed ceiling that glittered with moving constellations. Twelve giant thrones were arranged in an inverted U and an enormous fire crackled in the central hearth pit. The thrones were empty save for the head right throne and the one two its immediate left where 2 of the sons of Kronos sat.

"Lord Poseidon" I said as I gave a deep bow to him before I turned to the King of the Gods, knelt on one knee, lowered my head and said "Lord Zeus."

"Should you have not addressed the master of the house first boy" said Zeus though I could make out that my gesture had scored a few points with him.

"Peace Brother" said Poseidon "The boy greeted his father first, it was only right."

"You still claim him then" said Zeus "You still claim the child you sired against our sacred oath?"

"I have already admitted my wrong doing Brother!" said my father "Now please, let us hear him out."

"I shall listen" said Zeus "And then I shall decide what action has to be taken."

"As you wish my lord" I said then I began to tell them of the journey to recover the lightning bolt and all that had happened, though I did leave out my battle with Ares saying that the only reason I had won was through luck and the fact that he had greatly underestimated me. Then I took the backpack in one hand and the master bolt in the other and offered them to Zeus who simply opened his hand and the items flew into it. The back pack disappeared while the bolt resized itself to match its wielder.

"I sense that the boy is telling the truth," Zeus muttered "Though that Ares would do something like this was most unexpected."

"He is both proud and impulsive" said Poseidon "it runs in the family"

"My Lord" I said and they both replied "Yes."

"Ares did not act alone" I said before I began to describe the nightmares (not my mounts) that I had while searching for the master bolt. "That presence matched the feeling I had at the entrance to the pit, the entrance to Tartarus if I am not mistaken. My Lords, I feel that my grandfather is rising and that until it can be confirmed otherwise it must be prudent to act as such."

The two brothers paled at this and immediately began to have an intense discussion in Ancient Greek which ended the same way it had last time. Zeus then spoke of purifying his weapon before turning t me and saying "You have done me a great service boy. Few heroes could accomplish what you have done"

"My lord" I said "Ares has already proved himself untrustworthy and has lost one of his symbols of power. It might be prudent to enlist the aid of Lord Hades in these matters and perhaps make him an Olympian, at least until the matter has been resolved. The Dark Lord's powers are formidable and his armies are extremely deathly."

"I… will consider it" said Zeus "Now leave this place, for if I find you when I return, the consequences for you will not be present."

Thunder shook the palace and with a blinding flash of light Zeus was gone. Poseidon simply sighed and said "Your uncle always had a flair for dramatic exits. I think he would've done well as the God of Theater."

"My Lord, what about my mother?" Percy asked as had shifted his position before continuing "I believe that Lord Hades will return her, even if just on principle. But… but has she returned?"

"You are right" said Poseidon "The Lord of the Dead always pays he debts, and he has already returned your mother."

"I see, thank you for informing me" said Percy "Would… would you like to come with me my lord? To see my mother?"

"Your mother was a queen amongst women Percy, and though I would love to meet her again, it would not be wise for me to do so" responded the God of the Sea "When you return home Percy, you must make an important choice. You will find a package waiting in your room."

"A pack… I understand My lord" said Percy lowering his head "And I will make you proud, I will prove to you that I am a true son of the Sea God my lord."

"Arise my son" said Poseidon, "And know that you already have."

"Thank you… for everything father" responded Percy as he remembered all the times he had fought for, and side by side with Poseidon, as he got to his feet, "Goodbye."

Percy turned and mounted the chariot which had appeared while he was talking to the Father of all Horses, before he got on it and rode it into the shadow of one of the massive Columns. While shadow traveling Percy noticed a couple of things, the first of which was a collection of twelve small pearls like silver orbs in a little gold bag which bore Chronus's symbol. It was something that Percy recognized near immediately, they were Crusher Pearls or CP's as the seven liked to call them

CP's became a specialty of Hazel's towards the end of the war, all you had to do was take one and crush it onto something that the victim was currently using, like say his shield or armor. The beads would then induce mist based illusions into the opponent making them… well let's just leave that to your imagination.

'Still there was something off I mean why… ah that might explain it' as he looked at the bag and found a message written in Kalming, (the ancient language of magic), which basically said 'to restore their memories' along with another message written in ancient Greek a little lower which read 'use them well'

"I will lord Chronus, I will" though Percy as he finally appeared from the shadow and right next to the candy store where his mom was getting off work.

"Mom" I said "Hop on."

She turned around and nearly had a heart attack when she saw me in the chariot, still she did get on it so that was a plus. The horses immediately started to move as Percy started to say quite calmly "Mom, you have a choice to make."

"What choice?" asked his mother

"When you get home you will go to my room and find a box on the bed. That box contains Medusa's head." Said Percy calmly "You will either have to make him leave or use the head on him and sell him, I really don't care either way. Understand that if I return and he is still there I will kill him… kill him in the most painful way I can… and there is nothing that can stop that."

Percy tuned around and looked at his mother who was standing behind him "Lord Poseidon called you a queen amongst women mom, and that… there isn't a word in all the languages that I know off that I can use to describe him…, has been hitting you…! Mom, you have sacrificed so much for me and while vengeance and justice isn't necessarily the same thing, sometimes it is. There is no need for you to sacrifice anything for me anymore Mom, it is time for you to do what you want. This is one thing which I ask dearly off you mom, please…!"

Sally Jackson was quiet in contemplation. She was already shocked by the fact that Percy had come to pick her up… in a chariot of all things. And when he had first started speaking she had wondered if this was what camp had turned him into, a killing machine, But now she knew… She knew that he had always felt powerless against Gabe, she now also knew that her son knew off things that she had tried her level best to hide from him. He wasn't a mindless killer, he was just trying to protect her now that he had the power to do so, but more so than that he was giving her a chance to end things her own way… And she was thankful for that.

First Percy Jackson story... Hope I mad it believable...
