Champions of Olympus
Author Notes: Harry Potter is a descendent of Poseidon and the actually child of Zeus. He's also the Herald of Hades for possessing and mastering the Deathly Hallows. For his eighteenth birthday he heads to Las Vegas prior Ron's request only he stays in there for nearly ten years.
Chapter 1: The Lightning Thief
Harry was celebrating his victory over Voldemort at Las Vegas at a Casino called Lotus when he was offered another Lotus Flower.
"No Harry, do not eat the flower." A voice said in his head. Harry stops and sets the flower down. He looks around and sees that almost everyone was in a trance. It wasn't the Imperio curse but something else. Almost like a drug.
Harry moves through the crowd trying to the exit. It was then he notices another group of teens, three of them to be exact, creating a commotion.
"Follow them." The voice says. Harry didn't know why but he did as the voice said.
"Car, car." The guy who looks like a half goat said as they got in it. Harry immediately got in the back with a young girl his age.
They burst out of the casino inside of a nice Maserati 4200 GT.
"Who are you?" The girl asks.
"Guys look, tomorrows the twenty first." Goat-Boy said.
It was then Harry notices the date. June 21st 2010.
"It can't be, today's the fifteenth." The guy said in the passenger seat.
"No we were in there for five days." The girl said.
'That means I was stuck in there for twelve years. Where are Ron and Hermione?'
"It felt like hours." The boy said.
"That was the lair of the Lotus Eaters. They've been luring people into their trap since ancient days. You get caught in a trance with the lotus flower that drugs your systems and time moves much faster on the outside. It also allows you to never age as long as you eat the lotus flower." The girl says.
This girl reminded him so much of Hermione.
"Then that means tomorrow the solstices. Our deadline is tomorrow at midnight." The boy said.
"Okay look we got to move, we too Perce?"
The boy known as Perce open up a piece of parchment and words began to appear on the edge of it.
"It's in Hollywood."
"Okay, I can get us there if four hours, maybe three depending on the traffic."
"Guys I think you're forgetting something, what do we do about him?" The girl said pointing at Harry.
"I'm coming with you." Harry said clearly.
"You can't come, it's forbidden." The girl said.
"How were you able to break free of the Lotus hold on you?" The boy asks turning towards Harry for the first time.
"A voice told me." Harry replies in a hesitant voice.
"A voice?"
"Like someone was speaking to me in my mind. It told me to follow you and I did."
The boy and girl shared looks like they knew what it meant. Goat-Boy on the other hand didn't understand.
"Like who would believe that." He said in a fake laugh.
"Grover, he's a demigod." The girl said.
"What?" The one known as Grover replies in surprise.
"Our parents talk to us in our heads when they give us advice and warnings." Percy said as he looks back out the window.
"Which parent is yours?" Annabeth asks.
"I don't know." Harry answers truthfully.
"Guys, we got to move."
Hollywood
Harry got the full story about how the Greek Gods and Goddesses were alive and real. However war was about to break out between Zeus and Poseidon after Zeus's master bolt was stolen. Harry didn't tell them about the magical world. Not yet, he was still trying to grasp the fact that gods existed.
"Okay, here it is." Percy said after they got out the car and walk up the Hollywood billiard.
Harry then notices a barrier surrounding a hole between the H.
"Woe to all depraved souls." Percy said.
As if he said a password, the barrier drops revealing the hole in the ground.
"Let's go." Harry said pulling out his wand.
"Lumos." Harry said as light appeared on the tip of his wand. The three followed him and enters slowly.
Inside was damp full of skeletons and candles. A place mark for death. Before the four of them could move forward, the hole collapse behind them leaving them trap.
"No turning back now."
They walk forward some time before coming upon a black river with a boatman.
"Who's the creepy guy in the boat?" Grover asks.
"I don't know, let's find out." Percy said as he pulls out a pen and clicks it. Soon a sword appears in his hand.
The boatman looks at hem with a gauntly look.
"Who are you?"
"We need to see Hades." Percy said.
"The liing are not permitted here. Die, and then come back."
"Okay, we won't die and come back but… you know what, I think I know what he wants." Grover said.
"What?"
"You got to pay the ferryman." He said as if it was simple.
Grover handed some bills of hundred American dollars, but the ferryman merely burn it without interest.
"That was a hundred and seventy dollars." Grover said in disbelief.
"Wait, the drachma." Percy said as he reaches in his pocket and pulls out some gold coins. The ferryman reaches over and accepts the drachma.
The four of them climbs into the boat, soon taking off into the heart of the underworld.
"Welcome to the Underworld." The ferryman said.
"What is all of this?" Percy asks though Harry felt as if he didn't want to know.
"Scraps of human misery. Lost hopes and dreams. Wishes that never came true. All lives end in suffering and tragedy." The ferryman said as he pulled up towards Hades castle.
"This is as far as I can go." The ferryman said as the four of them got off the boat.
They enter the castle, Harry with his wand at the ready, and Percy with a sword and shield.
"Guys do you hear that?" Annabeth asks.
"Hear what?" Grover asks.
Two large very strange animals appeared growling and snarling at the four of them.
"Annie stab that thing." Grover shouted.
"What are we going to do?" Percy asks as they all took a defensive stance.
"Back." A young woman said coming towards them and waving her hands causing the animals to back away the way they came.
"What were those things?" Percy asks the woman.
"Hell hounds." She answers.
"Yeah, well maybe you should think about feeding them." Grover said.
"They sensed the presence of another animal." She replies.
"Oh great they can smell goat." Grover mumbles in disbelief.
"Hmm, a Satyr. I haven't had a Satyr… visit before." She replies moving very seductively towards Grover.
"Persephone! What could be possibly taking so long? Don't ignore me!" A voice called out down the hall.
"Or what! What will you do? I'm already in hell." Persephone said in a grumbling tone of voice as she shouts back.
Walking down the hall, Harry and Percy put away their weapons. She enters a large chamber where she holds her hands telling them silently to wait.
"We have visitors." She replies to the man in the chair.
The man gets up and Harry immediately felt something calling towards that man.
"Nephews, niece." He said as he gets up and stretches his arms up. "Welcome to my home." Hades replies. "You both have your father's looks. Always been the lucky side of the family." Hades replies.
"Lord Hades, we come to you to ask for your assistance." Harry said putting his wand away.
"Awe, so you're the one. My Herald." Hades said with a smile.
"I'm sorry." Harry said.
"You are my Herald. You are after all, the wielder of the Master of Death are you not?"
Harry said nothing but held onto the Elder Wand which gave another pulse in his hands.
"Now then, where is the lightning bolt?" Hades demands.
"That's why we've come Lord Hades. We believe someone is using Percy to start a war. We need you to help us convince Zeus not to start a war over this. But rather have us look for the master bolt instead of accusing others." Harry said.
"You know for once, I'm on the same page as you nephew. I do not want this war any more than you do. However I do want the master bolt so I could challenge my brothers" Hades says. "You're all very brave to come here. Now walk with me." Hades replies as he walks towards the fire.
"I can see the look of disgust in all of your eyes, but this existence was not mine for the choosing. I was banished here by both of your fathers; Zeus and Poseidon. I am the damned King of Hell. My only option for leaving this cursed place is to defeat my brothers and seize control of Olympus. Of course, I'll need the bolt."
"I don't have it." Percy said.
"We came because we thought you could help us persuade Zeus into stopping this war and help us find the Bolt." Annabeth said.
"Hades, I know who the thief is. Can you take us to Olympus and be there to present the thief. Earning Zeus gratitude."
"Sorry, not good enough." Hades replies as he waves his hand. A woman appears next to them from dust and ashes.
"Mom." Percy said as he rushes to his mother. Dropping his pen and shield at the same time as he embraces her.
Hades went to the shield and examines it carefully. It was as if he was seeing something.
"You are such a liar nephew." Hades replies picking up the shield. Only the shield didn't come up but a strange blue light that was crackling madly.
"The Master Bolt." The woman replies.
"I don't know how that got in there, it's not even my shield." Percy said trying to explain things.
"No, Luke stole it. Luke rigged and used us." Annabeth said as she joined Percy ready to fight.
"I think we are done here. Feed them to the souls." Hades said as Persephone opens the fire pit. Harry joins there side and pulls out his wand ready to fight Hades.
"Summon the hounds."
"Hold on, we had a deal. You got the bolt so let us go." Percy said.
"You don't understand the saying do you, never try to outwit the devil." Harry replied.
"Ella tho!" Persephone said.
"Wait." Percy said.
"I am going to be King of the Gods." Hades replies and Persephone kisses him in joy. Before Hades knew it Persephone grabs the master bolt and takes it for herself.
"Don't be ridiculous Persephone. Give it back." Hades replies laughing at his wife. But Persephone shoots lightning at him causing him to fly across the room and land on the ground unconscious.
Persephone jumps up in joy as if she just did something wonderful. She turns to the five who were trying their hardest to avoid the hellhounds and the souls from tearing them apart. She called off the hounds and the firepit closed off once again.
"Why did you help us?"
"Because he's cruel and abusive! He wouldn't make a good God King. The only thing I look forward to is my time away from this hellhole. A war between the Gods would put an end to that. Then I would end up being alone, with him." Persephone said handing the master bolt to Percy. "Give this to my father; end the war before it's too late. You may take your mother."
Percy took out four pearls and looks at the group of five.
"Only four I see. Each pearl only transport a single person. One of you will have to stay." Persephone said as she walks away to pick up her husband.
"All right, I'll stay you four go." Percy said.
"What? No!" His mother said.
"I should stay, I feel it's my time and I am the Herald of Death. It makes better sense if I stayed." Harry said.
"No, I've achieved my quest, I'll be staying here." Percy replies.
"Guys, I'm the one who has to stay. It's my duty, because I'm supposed to be the protector." Grover said.
"Grover you don't have too." Percy replied.
"Look man I don't want to hear it just go. Stop the war before it's too late. This is my duty." Grover said.
"I'll take good care of him." Persephone said as she appears next to him.
"Now each of you must go! Each of you step on the pearl and concentrate on where you want to go." Grover said.
"Olympus." Percy said and all four of them step on the pearl and disappeared.
"Where did we just appear?" Harry asks.
"Look up there!" Annabeth said as they look up. "Zeus and Poseidon are preparing for battle."
"No, this isn't the right place, this isn't Olympus! This is the Empire State Building!"
"We are at the entrance to Olympus. Come on." Annabeth said as she goes to a door.
"We've got ten minutes to midnight."
"Percy Jackson." A voice called out and they all look to see a boy flying towards the with winged shoes.
"Well you weren't supposed to leave the underworld alive." The boy said. "I can't let you take that bolt to Olympus. I'm the lightning thief." The boy said.
"Why did you do it Luke?" Percy demanded.
"When Hades appeared at camp and offered you your mother for the bolt it hit me. I knew that was the perfect place for you to walk into and never come out again. It was also the perfect opportunity to get the bolt to Hades." Luke said.
"Why would you do that?" Annabeth demanded.
"To bring Olympus crumbling down." Luke said before charging in and fighting with a sword in midair. Harry brought out his wand but receive a kick to the chest causing him to fall backwards. After a brief skirmish with Annabeth and Percy Luke fell back with the Master Bolt in his hands.
"Luke! Why do you want a war between the gods?" Percy asks. Harry got up and picked up the Elder Wand.
"Control." Luke simply answered. "They've been in power for far too long. I say it's time our generation to take over. For us too rule as Kings among men. Remold the world in our imagined. A world of new heroes."
"You're no hero." Percy said. This made Luke angry and he points the thunderbolt at the group and fires lighting at them. Harry summons a shield blocking the attack from them.
Harry then jumps up and starts tackling Luke for the bolt. Luke was surprise by this and soon lost the bolt.
"I don't know who you are, but you clearly are a demigod of great power. I cannot let you go." Luke said.
Harry backs away and fires hexes and jinxes at Luke who was surprise to see this kind of attack.
"Luke." Percy said out loud as he swings his sword knocking the thunderbolt from Luke's hand. Harry fired the blasting hex hitting Luke in the chest.
Harry and Percy moved through the air with the lightning bolt in hands. Before Percy could make it back to the Emperor State Building Luke appeared and grabbed the lightning bolt. Luke sped away before cutting the wing off Percy's left show. This caused Percy to descend at a rapid pace. Harry grabs Percy and slows the descended down enough for both of them to land on a nearby roof. Harry was then hit from a bolt of lightning that caused him to fall down in pain.
"The Son of Poseidon, maybe there were wrong." Luke said. Percy closed his eyes and put his right hand in front of him. As if answering a silent prayer, water erupted from the water towers and came to Percy.
Just as Luke strikes with lightning, Percy shoved both hands forward and the water came crashing down onto Luke. The thunderbolt fell away from Luke's grasp and he got up coughing for air.
"You mess with the wrong Demigods Luke." Harry said getting up. Whipping his wand back he cast a silent nonverbal spell at Luke. As if pulled by an invisible chain, Luke flew off the rooftop before he went landing in the bay.
"Let's go Percy." Harry said grabbing the thunderbolt.
The four of them got in the magical elevator that had a large Ω in the middle of it. They went up and looked at the amazement of Mount Olympus.
"Mom." Percy said.
"Percy I can't get through. You've got to go, don't worry about me. Just go." She says.
"Let's go, we got a war to stop." Harry said as he ran up the stairs.
The moment they got inside, they could hear Olympians arguing about who was at fault. Silence then came as Zeus's voice could be heard as he called for order.
"Wait." Percy shouted as he ran inside with the Master Bolt. "Whoa." Percy said and Harry had to agree with him. Inside were twelve beings all being than even giants.
"My name is Percy Jackson, and I think you might be looking for this!" Percy said holding the Master Bolt above his head. Zeus steps forward and approaches the trio.
"Give me the bolt lightning thief." Zeus commands. Percy throws it at Zeus who easily catches it. "You're wise to betray your father."
"Look I didn't steal it; and I have no connection to Poseidon." Percy declared.
"But tell me, if you didn't steal it, then who did?"
"Luke Castellan, son of Hermes." All the gods turn to look at Hermes who thought he was going to be sick. "You see Luke was angry, he was angry at all of you. He wanted you all to destroy yourselves because you have ignore him and others like him for too long." Harry said. "However, I do not think Luke was working alone. There may have been another hand involved in this." Harry added.
"What do you mean?"
"Where's Hecate, she can explain. I used a magical art called Legilimency on Luke. Though without magic call it mind reading."
"We are familiar with the art. Go on."
"Inside Luke's mind was another. This was sinister and foul. Worse than Hades and it wasn't easy to get a read on Hade's mind."
Poseidon and Zeus immediately began talking in Ancient Greek or in a language older than that. The only thing that Harry caught was 'Father'.
"You have done well to bring this to our attention."
"Brother please allow me."
"I think it is time for those whose children took part in this quest should be reward by having five minutes with their children. Let there be peace." Zeus said and the gods nod their heads and left. Leaving only Zeus, Poseidon and a young woman barely older than Annabeth remain behind.
Zeus walked towards Harry and Harry couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated by Zeus's presence.
"Son, I've wanted to speak with you for so long." Zeus said.
"How are you my father? All my life I thought…"
"He is also your father. You see I loved your mother; however she did not love me in return. So I took advantage over the fact your other father couldn't produce an heir. So I approach them with an offer. I would possess your father and allow your mother to have a child. They agreed. Your mother agreed to send you to camp when you turn seventeen. However something went wrong and I feared for your safety. So I lured you to the Lair of the Lotus Eaters to keep you safe. There were those who wish to take advantage of your fame for their own advantage."
"Why were you never there for me?" Harry demanded.
"I made a decree to never interfere with the lives of our mortal children. I regretted that when I saw how you were being treated." Zeus admitted.
"So why now?"
"When my bolt was stolen I felt it was best for you to become my eye on Percy Jackson, who I… wrongly accused. I admit that was my error. I truly wish the best for you, even if my actions don't show it."
"We've all made some mistakes. I'm not sure I can forgive you." Harry said. "Then again, I may be willing to forgive you if you do me a favor."
"What is it son?"
"We manage to escape the underworld thanks to a noble sacrifice to Percy's Satyr Grover."
"I'll have him return at once." Zeus promise.
Harry turns and leaves, knowing that he had something to look forward to. Now he walk with Percy and Annabeth towards a place they talk about; Camp Half-Blood.
Author Notes: Harry Potter makes his entrance to Camp Half-Blood in the next chapter. How will some of the campers react to the son of Zeus at camp?
