AN: Hello, I'm dittox216. This is my second fanfiction, and the first I will pursue for a long time. Now I have to say something about this story. Before you close this tab, at least finish this paragraph. Here it is- it's a chaos fic. I know that's one of the most cliche story ideas ever, but I know that. I'm trying to write a unoriginal, cliche story and make it new. That being said, I may not do it correctly, since it's been long since I read BoO, so constructive criticism is helpful and always accepted (at least reasonable reviews). Lets do this, and welcome to Sea of Chaos.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO, as Rick Riordan does.

Percy: Percy was never afraid of the water. It was his father's element after all. Being a son of the sea god was sort of like being a fish, or a frog. The water strengthened him, protected him.

Percy hoped it would hurt him.

Even as he looked down, he knew it was stupid. The sea was his father's territory. But the memories were painful, probably more so than the Arai's curses. Mostly because there would be no end to the pain. It would always haunt him forever.

Unless he wanted it to end.

He could join them, each of his friends. The rest of the seven. And since Percy was the only one left, he didn't feel strong.

It wasn't just them. Campers at Camp Half-Blood and Jupiter have also gone missing suddenly, sometimes without a trace. Some were eaten by monsters. But others were killed in their sleep, and others were dragged to the woods. Some were found outside the camps. Those that were ended up horribly disfigured. It just kept happening, and Percy couldn't stop it. He felt like he needed to save them. The problem was, he couldn't.

The worst part was most of it was impossible.

Percy knew that monsters couldn't enter the camp, at least Camp Half Blood, but the murders happened inside the camp. So either the border is weakening or bypassed completely, some magic was used, or worst off all, one of the campers was against anyone. Before, Percy might've destroyed anyone who tried with a massive tsunami. But after Akhlys, he swore he would not use extreme force if it might hurt the ones he love. He didn't want to hurt any of the campers, especially the innocents.

But people were getting hurt. Percy wanted to do something, but didn't know what. Life was confusing.

Percy wanted to help, but he knew he couldn't. He was doing this because he was lost, and couldn't think a way forward. That had always been Annabeth's thing.

Waves lapped at the rocks below, echoing across the canyon. He knew it wouldn't work, but he had to try. Even if it didn't, the water cleared his head. If he could think.

"It's now or never." Percy muttered.

If something had to happen, it would happen now. No sense into putting it off.

Before he could convince himself otherwise, Percy jumped.

ooo

Falling. Just like so long ago, into Taurtarus. Except this time Percy was alone, and he didn't intend to survive. Even now, he felt like someone was falling behind him. He tried to think. "I'm going to die. It's too much. Goodbye..."

He heard a hard, sickening crunch, and a feeling he shattered into one million pieces.

ooo

He woke in a makeshift tent, made mostly of metal and having way to many complicated parts. Add to the fact that the tent was a huge meters apart, it was also a mini home.

"Morning."

Percy's heart stopped cold. His mind began to race. It couldn't have happened. Percy saw him die. How was he there?

But he was. Leo Valdez, with the usual annoying snarky smile, was staring back at him.

"Leo.." Percy stammered. "You're alive."

"Oh really? I don't know for sure. Am I alive?" he retorted.

"Shut up Valdez."

"Is that the kind of homecoming I get? Come on Percy, where's everybody else? And why where you jumping off a cliff? Although I know how fun that is..."

Percy was annoyed with Leo, but that was fine. After all this time, I forgot how important is laughter was. Especially since it happened... "No Leo. There's something that I need to tell you."

"Then say it already. I don't have a lot of time. Any minute now Calypso is going to wake up and..." Leo began to blabber.

Having Leo here made him a bit stronger. After all, it was against all odds. Never mind he needed to say something to him. Hope sprung out into Percy filling him with hope. And a dark feeling of revenge.

Leo was still blabbering.

"Leo, shut up." Percy began reluctantly. Leo deserved the right to know. But Percy knew it would hurt him. But he had to try. "Leo... they're dead."

Leo fell dead silent. "What?"

"Yes... they all died. I still remember how it happened." Percy began. He did. And it would haunt him.

First there was Leo. It was sort of obvious he didn't die, but it still hurt him.

Then, he lost track of time. So many deaths at the same time. And he just wanted peace.

Piper.

Jason.

Frank.

Hazel.

Most painful of all, Annabeth. Just like when Percy lost his memory, he had memorized her gray eyes. But he still saw them fall. Percy saw all of them fall.

Even just talking about those things with Leo hurt. Percy tried not to cry.

Leo didn't.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Percy asked Leo, his voice low.

"So what?" This was Leo's voice. One open and honest. One without jokes. One that was powerful. "I survived. They might've too."

"Maybe."

ooo

The voice, chilling to the bone, rang behind both boys. Both of them jumped.

"They are alive." The voice. The weirdest thing about the voice kept changing. Like it was everything.

"Indeed.. because I am everything. And Nothing."

"Enough with the riddles. Can you read my mind?" Percy shouted to the wind.

The wind replied. "Yes and no. I am your mind. Or at least made it."

"That's sh'nasty" Leo said with disgust.

"Shut up." Both Percy and the voice said in unison.

"Anyways, I've come to give you a deal. I help you find your friends. You'll help me." The voice whispered.

"How would I know this isn't a trap. You could make us do anything. Are you tricking us?" Percy snapped. He didn't want to rush blindly, but he wanted to believe.

The voice hissed. "Oh well. I guess I must show."

"I... I am Chaos, who created Gaea. Who was the abyss of nothing. And now must take measures for everything."

"Will you join me?"
