No I just decided to be dramatic for out FIRSR STORY! HYYYYYYPE!
I knew you shouldn't have drank that coffee.

*sigh*
Oh yeah by the way, who's the love interest?
You can go check out the poll on our profile. Theres, like 10 girls to vote for.
Sweet! Does that mean I get to see more than one girl with Percy?!
Depends on the votes. If a girl gets 3 or more votes, she becomes a love interest. We are only doing 6 girls at most, so vote!
Awesome! So… on with the first chapter?
On with the first chapter
Percy, son of Poseidon, P.O.V
"HAHA Olympus is mine!" Kronos yelled at the top of his lungs as he stood in front of the thrones of the gods.
"Hurry!" Thalia said as Annabeth, Grover, Thalia and I started running faster. We ran in the throne room to see Kronos holding a bloody scythe over Ethan's decapitated body. He turned toward us and smiled a sadistic smile.
"Hello, Demigods. Welcome to your death!" the Titan said, and he spread his arms like he wanted a hug.
Thalia whispered to me, "My dad had to get the dramatic stuff from somewhere." I snickered.
"How should I kill you? Straight decapitation or torture? Torture does sound very fun." He said.
"Good luck" I snorted.
He growled and charged. I pulled out riptide and met him head on, Sword vs. Scythe. I slashed at him and he blocked with the shaft and swung downwards. I dodged to the side and it missed me by a millimeter. The scythe blade got stuck in the ground. I swung my sword but he stopped time just before I cut his arm off. Damn it I thought as he backed up.
"What… why won't it work?" Kronos said. He glared at my frozen self. All the sudden, Thalia's spear clattered next to me. Kronos lost focus and I unfroze, but I didn't charge to attack him, neither did he attack me. We just stared at the most surprising thing.
Annabeth had killed Grover and had Thalia on the ground with her knife at Thalia's neck.
I stared in shocked silence. The only noise was Annabeth and Thalia's heavy breathing.
"Well? Do it! Kill me Traitor!" Thalia said defiantly but I could hear the fear in her voice.
"Yes, do it. Kill the Sky god's brat; I'm tired of her smart mouth." Kronos said.
Annabeth gulped. "But-but lord Saturn…"
Kronos- or Saturn- snarled. "You idiot girl! I told you not to reveal me!"
Annabeth cowered in fear. "I-I-I- I'm sorry my lord!"
Annabeth had dropped her guard, and If I learned one thing from sparring with Thalia, it's never drop your guard. Thalia bucked her hips and Annabeth went flying off. Thalia scrambled to her feet and looked at me expectantly. I realized she wanted her spear, so I immediately looked and kicked it towards her. She grabbed it out of the air and activated Aegis. She charged at the scrambling Daughter of Athena.
"Damn it, just goes to show you can't trust a demigod." Saturn said. Where have I heard that name before? Wasn't that Roman?
"Wait, so your name is Saturn? Isn't that Roman?" I ask.
He sighed in annoyance. "Once a God, Titan, Primordial, so on do a great act of strength; they get a more powerful form. It isn't Roman, but since the romans were stronger than the Greeks we took on the roman names. Now, instead of talking, I think I'll kill you." With that he charged once more.
Before he reached me, 12 flashes of light filled the room and I heard a certain Thunder god roar, "YOU'RE DEAD FATHER!"
Saturn snorted. "Hah as if you could beat me with your petty lightning bolt."
Zeus thundered (Yes, I went there) "I'LL SHOW YOU PETTY!"
And with that sentence he threw the Master Bolt at Saturn. It hit Saturn dead on in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.
"Quick, Poseidon, Hades! Take him down!" Zeus yelled.
Poseidon lifted his Trident and was prepared to fire, as was Hades and his helm of darkness, but instead, the wall exploded, and a cruel laugh was heard.
"Is that all you got? That didn't even tickle!" Saturn laughed.
Poseidon and Hades fired but Saturn jumped out of the way.
"TIME FREEZE!" He yelled, and all the gods froze.
"Now… where were we demi-" He stopped moving.
"Wha-Wha…" He gasped.
"You're Awake. No! I'll kill him first!" He cried.
Grabbing his scythe, he charged at me quickly before I could react. I blinked and his Scythe was swinging at me. At the last second I brought Riptide up, but he used much more power than I expected. His scythe hit Riptide and knocked it from my hand, twisting my arm harshly. I cried out and fell.
Before he could swing again though, in a deeper, more fatherly voice (One I didn't expect from my enemy) he screamed, "STOP!" and Luke's body enveloped in a golden light.
Kronos POV
Flashback to when Saturn beginning of chapter
With a jolt, I snapped my eyes open to revel… nothing. I was floating in the middle of a large white space. I turned my head from left to right hearing my neck pop. I cracked all my joints and such until I could move around. Well… float around. You get my point.
After floating this way and that and finding jack squat, I decided to check and see if I had any injuries. Last I remember, I was in my Castle, hearing my two sons fight about what domain they will get. I sigh at the good times.
All of the sudden I hear a pop as if someone flashed in. I turn quickly and reach for my scythe, only to find it wasn't there.
"Peace, Kronos. We don't wish to fight." The Three Fates said to me.
I relax and bow, "What is it My Ladies? And where am I?"
"You are in your mind Kronos."
I gave them a questioning stare.
"You're slightly more powerful form, the one you got from slaying Uranus, has somehow gained its own mind. This has never happened before. So, we decided to warn you."
"Wait… so… huh?" I said.
They sighed. I could swear I heard one say, "Just like that Jackson kid…"
"Basically part of you has gotten their own conscience and is trying to kill your seven children."
"Wait, seven? And why am I trying to kill them?"
They nodded. "You already know of five. The other two are Zeus, your sixth and final child with Rhea, and Chiron, which will come from a nymph you'll knock up when drunk. You are trying to kill them because of your or rather your other self's lust for power. You fell asleep because of the peace and Saturn, the name he gave himself, took over before your children were born. As they were born Saturn swallowed them whole so they wouldn't grow up. Rhea, horrified with who you think you've become, hid baby Zeus and had Saturn eat a rock instead. Once the baby grew up, he chopped Saturn into a billion pieces and threw them in Tartarus. Now, he's trying to get revenge. We woke you up because without you he will destroy Western Civilization."
I nod, overwhelmed, but it quickly turned into Anger. How dare he try and kill my children and by extension the world?!
"We have given a few upgrades to your scythe, such as returning to you when you need it. Now you shall fully wake. We expect you to kick some ass, Titan!" They finished and with that I saw a more muscle me with short hair and cuts all over his body attacking what looked like my son Poseidon.
I roar "STOP!" and will myself away from this monster.
After the golden light fades, I open my eyes to realize I was standing in my own body. I look at my hands, and then look up into Poseidon, only to realize it wasn't Poseidon, probably his son's eyes. They swirled with so much emotion, it was unbelievable. I could tell the kid was powerful and badass. To his right was a blond girl with a glinting knife, poised to strike.
I grab the kid by the shirt and yank him forward but I was too late. He screamed in pain as the knife entered the small of his back. I dropped him and he curled into a ball and continued to scream. I turn to the blond girl and put my hand out.
"That was a horrible decision on your part, girl. Have fun in Tartarus!" I say, then teleport her to Hell.
I turn to face myself and I see him staring at me in shock. I looked at his eyes, which were golden with a red line running down the middle.
"H-how are you…?" he said, clearly scared out of his mind.
I grin evilly and say, "Why, I awoke because you've been a naughty man, trying to destroy the world and shit. Well, I'd like to introduce you to my buddy, Scythe." I hold out my hand and from the ground came the pole part and the metal blade grew out of it quickly and gleamed, like it enjoyed the fear from my enemy.
"Now prepare to feel pain, Saturn." I say and my eyes start glowing Pure Gold.
I had just activated my Ultimate Form.
If you don't know what that means, I'll tell you. Basically think of an immortals power as a percentage. To an Ultimate Form, a normal god's power is 5% of it. A Roman god is 10% (Technically Rome was stronger than Greek, even if I hate to admit it). The Upgraded Form (Which Saturn is) is 25% of its power and the Ultimate Form is 100%.
What I'm saying is, Saturn is screwed.
He finally seemed to get his confidence back, and pulled out his own scythe, looks like the same as mine except for the glowing red lines running all over it.
"If anyone will feel pain, it will be you Kronos." He sneered.
I froze for a second. Then I started to laugh. Not a chuckle, but I full hearty laugh. I doubled over and pressed a hand to my stomach.
"I- haha- have never- hahaha- heard something- ha- something so STUPID- haha- before" I awnsered, trying to control my laughter.
He turned bright red, from embarrassment of anger I don't know, and charged me. I stood back up, all laughter gone, but a smirk on my face. I brought my scythe up and waited. He sung first at my right and I simply blocked as if it took no effort. It didn't, but I don't think he wants to know that. He continued to attack me, and I either dodged of blocked.
Finally, I began to grow bored. So next time he swung at my head, I did a Matrix dodge under it and put my face right next to his.
I screamed, "YOURE BORING ME!" and he fell backwards and onto his bum because I screamed. Laughing, I walked over to him and kicked him onto his back and stuck my scythe into his shirt and pinned him to the ground.
I bend down and whisper, "I told you Saturn, that you would feel pain."
Before I could do anything though, I heard a scream, so I turn to see Poseidon had stabbed his son with his trident through his back and out his chest.
When Poseidon pulled his bloodstained trident out of the boy, the scream stopped abruptly. He turned towards his Father in horror, betrayal, and pain. "Dad… Why…?" he let his breath go and fell onto his face.
My eye twitched in pain and revulsion. To think, my nice loyal son had done that to his only child…
"NO, POSEIDON, WHAT WHAVE YOU DONE BROTHER?!" cried my son, Zeus. Half the gods were still frozen and looking at Poseidon in anger. However, the other half was grinning at Poseidon. The ones frozen were Zeus, Hades, Hestia, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus and the ones who apparently were with Poseidon were Athena, Hermes, Dionysus, Apollo, Hera, Demeter, and Ares. The latter group walked over to Poseidon and waited. I furrowed my eyebrow, and looked over at Saturn, who ripped his shirt off and ran over to Poseidon. I growl in the back of my throat and yank my scythe out of the ground, but wait to attack.
"Poseidon! Has He showed you the right way?" Saturn asked.
"Yes he has, now get out of my way so I can deal with my pesky father." He answered.
I snorted. "And how do you suppose you'll do that?"
He grinned and his eyes started to glow pure Sea Green.
Saturn and my eyes widened. I gapped. "How?!"
He laughed cruelly. "I slew my son. He has slaughtered almost every single Greek monster, defeated Ares in combat, and distracted Hyperion long enough to turn him into a tree, courtesy of Satyrs. He was powerful, and I killed him. So I was grated my Ultimate Form, and now I will kill you!"
He threw his trident at me and I jumped out of the way. Before I could land, Poseidon appeared next to me and slammed his fist into my nose. I reeled backward, dropping my scythe and cupping my face in agony. A broken nose shouldn't hurt this much!
Poseidon laughed, "Because of my domain, my hits hurt worse than normal! Because the Sea can be so cold, it affects the hits as if the air was cold, making it seems to hurt worse than normal! You're mine!"
He charged me once more.
Percy P.O.V
The pain was unimaginable. It's to be expected it be honest, I mean, three holes in your chest and a poison knife in your back. Not only that, but the feeling from your Dad, your Father, the one man you think you can trust, stabbing you in the back. Literally! Granted he wasn't part of my life at all until age 12, but besides that!
I looked up bleary eyed to see Kronos, I'm still unsure if he's the good guy or the bad guy, getting his ass handed to him from my ex-dad. I sigh and the feeling to close my eyes gets stronger. Briefly I wonder what happened to Thalia. Then a comforting female voice said, "Don't worry son, we kept her from harm."
All of the sudden the world goes black for about two seconds before I wake up in a room. It had a comfy feeling to it, despite the fact the walls, floor and ceiling were see-through and we were in the middle of space.
Looking around, I see an man, about 45 ish, with fire eyes. They were not like Ares, which made you feel angry at everything, neither were they like Hestia's comforting, hopeful eyes. They made me feel insignificant, like an ant that was about to be stepped on. It felt as if I knew my doom was coming, and I should give up now.
I immediately look at the girl sitting next to the man, who looked about late thirty's to early forty's, with completely black eyes, but if you look for a while you see a star twinkle or a meteor fly past.
"Hello son." Said the Red Eyes.
I rose an eyebrow at him, despite my fear I tried to act confident and said, "Who are you guys?"
The girl snickered, "We are your real parents. I am Asteria, Titan of Necromancy and Falling Stars."
The male said, "And I am Moros, primordial of Impending Doom, which is why you felt so little and powerless when you looked at my eyes."
Asteria looked at my proudly. "You see, my husband, Perses, Titan of Destruction, was cheating on my again for the seventh time this week. I got tired of it, so I called an old friend. He started to console me, and it turned into… well I'm sure you can guess." Both Moros and Asteria were blushing.
I smiled faintly and said, "Oh I see, you needed that type of comfort." Asteria glared at me.
"Even after what just happened, you can still be easygoing and joking. You got that from your dad…" she said.
I must have looked a bit depressed, because she started to talk again.
"After we found out I was pregnant, well, let's just say Perses wasn't too happy. He challenged Moros to a duel and got his ass whooped. Once you were born, for some reason you were a demigod, with red blood and not golden ichor. The Fates flashed down and told us you would be needed as a demigod or else Saturn and Gaea would destroy the world. They took you from us and gave you water powers and blocked your powers you got from birth and they made Poseidon think you were his son."
She started to get to emotional, so Moros took over, " We were sworn not to talk or help you until you were about to die or you reached the age of 18."
I looked down tried to cope with this. Not only was my ex-father not actually my own dad, but my actual parents were sworn against doing anything, forced to watch their child grow up and not able to do anything.
"Wait, what about Sally, my 'mom'?" I asked.
"You were adopted, but Sally never wanted to tell you. She's still your mom, just not biologically." Was the answer.
I nod. "What about Thalia?"
Moros cocked his head to the side thinking. "Uhh… Asteria where did we put the girl?"
Asteria looked up with bloodshot eyes, probably form crying. "You're office, remember?"
He nodded slowly, "Oh Yeah! I'll get her once we are done. Anything else Percy?"
"Yeah, did I die?"
Moros laughed, "Oh, no, no, no, not yet at least. We saved you at the last second. One thing Perce, you got some dramatics from me, so I want your entrance back from the dead to be spectacular!"
Both Asteria and I laughed. Then the Fates flashed in.
All three spoke at once.
"Perseus Jackson. Now that you know of your heritage, we shall give and take a few things. First, the posion knife didn't completely take away your water powers or your Achilles curse, so we shall take them away now."
I felt my skin crawl, and I felt… vulnerable. Then my connection to the sea disappeared.
"Now, we unlock your birth abilities. First, the ability to make anyone feel Impending Doom. For about a minute, they will feel as if life has turned against them, and they will more than likely cower in fear at anything and everything. It lasts for one minute and has a recharge, so be careful. Next is Necromancy. You know of a child of Hades who can summon the dead yeah? You can do the same, except you can do a lot more and get less tired. For example a son of hades can summon 100 skeletons and be knocked out cold instantaneously, while you can summon 100 and only get about halfway tired."
They took a breath and continued,
"Next is Stars, You can summon Meteors to throw at your foes, largest one you can summon is about the size of your pet Miss O'Leary. Also, you can summon the light of a star and blind your opponents for a short amount of time. For now that is all. Moros, Asteria, one may give a weapon, the other a different weapon. Good luck Hero, you'll need it."
With those final words, they flashed out.
Asteria cleared her throat. "Well, then, my baby boy is gonna kick some serious ass!" she said and jumped for joy, then squished me.
"But first he needs his weapons. From me, you'll get a sword that when you cut someone, they feel the effects of my domain for about a few seconds, but that's all you need in the tide of battle."
He gave me a watch and I put it on my wrist. When I tap the middle, it forms a sword that was completely red and gave off a scary aura. I gave it a test swing and it felt exactly like Riptide.
"Do you know how to duel-wield?" Moros asked. I nodded.
Asteria gave me two black handguns that had stars all over them.
"Do you know how to shoot?" my mom asked. I shook my head. She nodded and pit her hand on my head. After a moment she removed it.
"I gave you the knowledge because you don't have time to be taught. Know that you still suck at Archery though."
Moros gave me a manly hung and said, "Good luck son."
Asteria hugged me as well, "GO, and kill Saturn for me."
I nod, and then stopped. "Uhh… how do I leave?"
All three of us froze and Moros said, "Good Question. Fates?"
The Fates flashed down. "Uhh… we'll teleport you out."
The world went black.
Well that was quite the chapter.
Yeah, it was.
So we have a poll, don't forget to vote and uhh hope you enjoyed the 3.5k word chapter!
