So this is my first fanfiction, for those who care I've been a fan of this sort of stuff since I was 11 but always thought that the last Olympian should have ended differently and Percy should have been more powerful but facing tougher situations. So this is starting during the fight between Percy and Luke/ Kronos – it will not be the same as how it originally goes.
P.S THIS IS A PERTEMIS STORY BUT THERE WILL BE BUMPS.
P.S.S I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, RICK RIORDAN LITERALLY OWNS EVERYTHING IN THIS STORY.
Percy's POV
I was standing across from the one enemy that mattered in this stupid War. It was the slightest bit disheartening seeing the face of what I would've considered a friend, but the need to win was too compelling to let that idea distract me. The boy across looked at me, his golden eyes attempting to pierce my soul with pure hatred and every bad emotion out there. I wasn't fazed in the slightest.
"You sure have come a long way Perseus, shame all will end" The tension finally broke as Kronos/ Luke stated this.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, he was trying to get into my head thinking I'm easily manipulated.
"We both know how this goes grandfather (I chucked internally at the thought of calling him grandfather).
"Indeed" He replied.
With that being said he lunged at me, backbiter in hand. I sighed internally at the predictable movement and in a swift motion uncapped riptide and got into my battle stance (like an orthodox fighter in a fight, left side forward right side back, Percy's sword in his right hand) and keeping my feet in place ducked to my left (picture a MMA fighter dodging a punch with head movement) avoiding the quick stab and blocked the follow up slash before countering with a Spartan kick after I had gotten my centre of gravity. Kronos stumbled back but I knew he couldn't feel it, the curse of Achilles was apparent. Not wanting to let him recuperate himself I unleashed a flurry of quick strikes, not heavy strikes as he was invulnerable and that would be a massive waste of energy. Even though my pressure was top notch, he did have divine powers and he used them as I kept my pressure going. I felt like I had been put in mud as my strikes dimmed in speed, he was using his time abilities to slow me down. I cursed under my breath, however the sudden lack of concentration on him and loss of my speed resulted in myself being punched with a left hook followed by a front kick smacking me into my father's decaying throne (gods I was lucky to have Achilles curse too). Now annoyed I glared at Kronos as he sauntered towards me with what seemed to be a triumphant smile.
"I will give you a final chance demi-god, take my side" Kronos said to me.
"I'd rather castrate myself than take your side Kronos" I responded defiantly and with that rolled to the side and using the momentum I stood back up in my fighting position, ready for another exchange. However I felt like his time affect had disappeared.
-Fast forward the fight-
I took another roll to the right before ducking to avoid being decapitated (even though I couldn't be…) than power double legged Kronos to the ground, using my elbows to hit his face even though it was like hitting bricks… Interesting situation I was in, hitting a guy who couldn't even feel it. I quickly switched my positioning to a full mount on Kronos only to be buckled off him completely. I frowned, since when could that have happened? Lost in my train of thought again I felt a fist slam into my back… right into my vulnerable spot. I roared in pain as it felt like my whole body was in the river Styx again, but ten times worse than that. I felt paralysed as I heard Kronos laughing.
"You are a fool to demi-god, wouldn't you be confused on why my time abilities haven't been used much? I've been watching your lead up to this fight while fighting you and have found your only vulnerable spot". He grinned manically at me, I could barely move. I literally felt like I couldn't do anything and the pain was stopping me from even speaking. (P.S guys I've altered the rules of the Styx a little... if you get hit in your vulnerable spot than you lose the invulnerability).
"No matter, I have succeeded. Thank you Perseus for giving me the time to regenerate my powers and skills." With that being said there was a tremendous increase in power and the Olympians flashed in, worn out from their fight with Typhoon but still strong. I barely glanced at them before Kronos started fighting all the Olympians, making replicas of himself somehow… maybe a time thing. I tried getting up and managed to stand breathing heavy, feeling slightly better than before I realised that Kronos and myself had fought a long time… When would he be released from Luke's body? As I pondered this I saw the Gods losing their battles. My eyes settled on the battle with what seemed to be the real Kronos fighting Lady Artemis, and winning with success. Every time she would attempt an attack on him there would simply be an easy counter with him stopping Artemis mid attack with an individual timeline stop (I just made that up but it's going to be freezing the person in their timeline, so the individual being affected freezes but everything else goes on) and either slashing at her or hitting her. Luckily for her I had now gained enough strength to at least move around and use Riptide, but it was no use. Kronos had her pinned using another timeline stoppage, but froze only her body not mind keeping her fully aware of what was about to happen. He raised his sword ready to stab Artemis, a look of fear over went her face. Using all my energy I sprinted and jumped shoving Artemis out of Kronos's line of sight breaking her 'stoppage' but this resulted in myself being stabbed…
I'm going to end the chapter hereeee I know it's only 1,000 words BUT it's a trial really to see if the idea is any good so please REVIEW, all feedback welcome, any criticism too – tell me if it's something that you guys want to read more about so I can keep writing the story, if not also let me know! basically what's going on for people who read this and is like 'What on Earthhh' Percy is fighting Kronos, but because it's MY fan fiction I've decided to change it (a lot as you can tell). Annabeth isn't with him she's assisting fighting the army of monsters hence why no mention of her unlike the book. Percy I know sounds like he sucks at fighting but keep in mind the part where Kronos says "regenerate my power and skills" means he was getting way better as the fight went on, and that's like a titan fighting a demi god and because I'm a realist the gap is MASSIVE. However that won't always be the case ;) Also the god's fighting Kronos is something I added too and you'll see why, it links back to when I said Percy is more powerful and skilled but facing tougher situations. How I plan to do that and connect it is something you'll have to find out yourselves if I keep writing the story. Percy saving Artemis is kind of my way of starting the whole Pertemis spark so don't judge me…
Thanks everyone!
