Hey guys, I'm back with a new story that I cooked up over the past Month. I will be coming out with a few other stories, hopefully soon but I don't know since t college classes are hectic. But to those who are reading my other story Nephilim Saga: Renegades of Young Justice. The newest chapter will be coming out soon so don't freak out. Now I know there are several thousand different Percy Jackson crossovers but this will be the first Percy Jackson and Brave Frontier Crossover so I hope to set the bar with a good story. The Pairing for this is undecided so far, but I have it narrowed down to Percy x Thalia or a Percy x Multi depending on what you readers think. So now without further ado here is the first chapter of Percy Jackson: Heir of the Gates.
Enjoy

Chapter 1: The Heir is Chosen
Lucius sighed as he felt his power slowly fade away, the human summoner had proven his worth and he could fade into death knowing that humanity wouldn't be hindered by the gods and their schemes.
Before he could die Lucius was assaulted by images of a young child with black hair and ocean green eyes. He saw the destiny that lay before him and couldn't help but feel his heart go out to the young human. So Lucius the God of the Gate made one final decision before his life and power faded from his body.
"I Lucius...God of the Gates...Name this child as the successor to my power...When I leave this world...Good Luck...Percy Jackson...New God of the Gates..." And with that the god once known as Lucius faded from the world known as Grand Gaia.

Sally Jackson was sitting in her hospital bed holding her newborn son. She knew that Poseidon would have been there if it weren't for the ancient laws that he would have been there cooing over their son just as she was. She yawned, giving birth had taken its toll on her and she was exhausted.
The nurse came in and set the newborn down in the crib that they had placed near the new mother after she had finished her rounds of the room she left.
All other occupants of the room were asleep so no one else would witness the event that was about to occur. A white light descended from the sky through the roof of the hospital and down several floors before it came to rest a few inches above the newborn baby. After what could have seemed like an eternity to an outside party the light enveloped the baby in a cocoon of light before dissipating under his skin.
Above the baby's head a few seconds later a small white holographic gate formed before disappearing.
Within the home of the Fates a change took place as a single thread took began glowing with a dim light as tiny white spindles extended like branches. Strangely enough the Three Fates didn't notice the change to this particular string and they wouldn't notice it for a long time.

(Several Years Later)
Percy Jackson wasn't having a good day. He wasn't sure if it was the dreams he had been having or the voice that he could hear whispering for him to summon. At that moment a wad of something hit the back of his head.
Dispassionately he turned around and saw the freckled face of Nancy Bobofit. His stare bored into her with such lack of emotion that it make the red haired kleptomaniac shrink back into her seat. A tap to his shoulder brought him back to reality as he looked to his friend Grover Underwood.
The two had struck up a fast friendship when they had met due to being outcasts based on their appearances. Percy had been made fun of when he was younger because of the dark streaks in his black hair that looked purple and the white flecks in his sea green eyes. While Grover looked like he had been through sixth grade several times
"I'm going to kill her."
"Calm down, you don't need another detention." Grover said as he placed a hand on his shoulder as another wad flew into Grover's hair. Percy's head snapped back with a glare that would have killed Nancy several times over.
"Still doesn't mean I don't want to deck her in the face." Percy sighed, he had already gotten told off by her father who was the Headmaster of Yancy Academy that if anything happened on this field trip that he would sentence him to death by after school detentions, it also didn't help that his record was against him.
Bad things happen to him on field trips. Like on his fifth-grade school field trip, when he went to the Saratoga battlefield, where he had an accident with a Revolutionary War cannon. He wasn't aiming for the school bus, but he got expelled anyway.
And before that, at his fourth-grade school, when his class took a behind-the-scenes tour at the Marine World shark pool, he accidentally hit the wrong lever on the catwalk and his class took an unplanned swim in one of the tanks.
That brought them around to their current situation. Percy didn't mind school but being trapped on a bus with twenty eight hormonal teenagers entering puberty didn't help anything to say the least. Granted Mr. Brunner, Percy's favorite teacher, was in charge of the trip. Thought that was offset by Ms. Dodds.
She was a tiny lady who was a math teacher from Georgia who always wore a leather jacket and looked mean enough to drive a Harley. Plus she treated Percy like a devil-spawn while Nancy got away with almost everything. So to say that he was a little put off was an understatement.
By now the group being led by Mr. Brunner was gathered around a thirteen foot tall stone column with a sphinx carved on the top, where he stated to tell them that this was grave marker, a stele, for a girl about their age. He began to tell the class about the carvings on the sides. Percy tried paying attention but the voice decided that this was the time to start talking again.
"Open the Gates. Summon them." The voice echoed through his head repeatedly.
"Will You Shut Up!" Percy shouted a little louder than he should have.
The whole class laughed and Mr. Brunner stopped his story.
"Mr. Jackson," He asked. "Did you have a comment?"
Percy felt his cheeks burn red with embarrassment. "No sir."
"Perhaps you would like to tell us what this picture represents." Mr. Brunner pointed to one of the carvings on the stele; Percy looked at carving and relaxed.
"That's Kronos eating his kids, right?" he answered.
"Yes," Mr. Brunner said, obviously not satisfied with his answer. "And he did this because…"
Percy racked his brain trying to remember. "Kronos was the King of the Titans and he didn't trust them because of a prophecy he heard, so he decided to eat them. But his wife fed him a rock after she hid Zeus to trick him. Then when Zeus grew up, he tricked his father in to throwing up his brothers and sisters-"
"Eeww!" one of the girls behind him said.
"-Then there was a big fight between the Gods and the Titans," Percy continued. "And the Gods won." This got some snickers from the group.
Behind Percy, Nancy murmured to a friend. "Like we're going to need this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain to us why Kronos ate his kids.'"
"And why, Mr. Jackson," Mr. Brunner asked with a small smile. "To paraphrase Miss Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?"
"Busted." Grover chuckled.
"Shut up," Nancy hissed, he face was now an interesting shade of red that was brighter than her hair.
Percy shrugged. "I guess because what we learn from school can apply to the real world even if you don't expect it too."
Mr. Brunner smiled. "That's correct Mr. Jackson. To rephrase that excellent answer, what you learn in school, even if other people don't think it would, full credit to you Mr. Jackson. On a happier note, it's lunch time. Ms. Dodds, would you lead us back outside?"
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
The class drifted apart once they got outside, the girls holding their stomachs, and the guys were pushing eachother around and acting like doofuses pelting pigeons with crackers.
Percy and Grover headed over and found a seat at the fountain where none of their classmates were hanging around.
"How did you know the answer to Mr. Brunner's question?" Grover asked.
"I don't know, it just sorta came to me…you know?" Percy said digging through his lunch. "I just wish he would lay off on me sometimes. I mean – I know I do well in his class but I'm not a genius."
Grover put his hand on his chin and Percy honestly thought he was going to give him philosophical answer. "Can I have your apple?"
Percy smiled and gave it to him before turning his attention to the stream of cabs going down Fifth Avenue. He thought of hailing a cab and heading home to his Mom so he could give her a hug and just tell her all his problems. She'd be happy to see him, but she'd also be disappointed in him too. She'd send him right back to Yancy reminding him that he had try to harder, even if it was his sixth school in six years and he was probably going to get kicked out.
He sighed before looking around and saw Mr. Brunner who had parked his wheelchair at the base of the handicapped ramp. He ate celery while reading a paperback novel, a red umbrella stuck up out of the back of his chair making it look like a motorized café table.
Percy scratched his forehead before going to unwrap his sandwich only for Nancy Bobofit and her ugly friends, who had probably gotten tired of stealing from tourists, to appear and dump her half eaten sandwich into Grover's lap.
"Oops." She grinned at Percy and Grover with her crooked teeth. All across her face were orange freckles as if someone had spray painted her face with liquid Cheetos.
"That's it." Percy thought angrily and saw red, just then something roared in his ears and Nancy was in the fountain soaked.
"Percy Pushed Me!" She screeched.
Ms. Dodds seemingly materialized next to Grover and Percy.
Percy could hear some of the kids whispering.
"Did you see–"
"–the water–"
"–like it grabbed her–"
Ms. Dodds went immediately to make sure that Nancy was ok, promising to get her a new shirt at the museum gift shop amongst other things. She then turned to Percy with a triumphant look in her eyes as if he'd done something she'd been waiting for all semester. "Now, honey – "
"I know," Percy scowled. "A month erasing work books."
Ms. Dodds glared at him.
"Come with me!" She ordered Percy.
"Wait!" Grover yelped. "It was me. I pushed her."
Percy stared at him stunned that he was covering for him because he was usually the one protecting Grover from bullies and there was also the fact that Ms. Dodds scared Grover to death. She glared so hard at him that his whiskery chin trembled.
"I don't think so, Mr. Underwood."
"But – "
"You. Will. Stay. Here."
Grover looked towards Mr. Brunner.
"It's ok man," Percy told Grover patting his shoulder. "Thanks for trying."
Percy saw Nancy smirk and it quickly ended he glared at her.
"Honey," Ms. Dodds barked. "Now."
Percy spared a look at his friend before turning around and saw that Ms. Dodds was already at the top of the museum steps, gesturing impatiently for him to come.
"When did she get there?" he thought, he knew that his brain sometimes fell asleep but this wasn't making any sense and his instincts were screaming at him but he ignored them at the moment and followed her into the museum. Percy started to follow her through the museum and finally caught up to her when they entered the Greek and Roman section.
Except for the two of them the gallery was empty.
Ms. Dodds stood with her arms crossed in front of a big marble frieze of the Greek gods. She was making weird sounds, that sounded like growling.
Percy's instincts were practically roaring in his ears and the voice wasn't doing anything to help him at the moment.
"Open the gates!" The voice seemed frantic now. "Summon them!"
Percy shook his head.
"You've been giving us problems honey." She said, after years of constant bullying Percy could hear the malice hiding in her voice.
"Yes ma'am." He said trying for the safe bet he always did when he got in trouble with a teacher.
She tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket. "Did you really think that you would get away with it?"
"I'll try harder ma'am." Percy said attempting to keep his voice even to hide his panic. He had no clue what she was talking about and the vicious look in her eyes was starting to terrify him.
"Well?" She snapped.
"Ma'am I don't…"
"Your time is up," She hissed out.
Then she changed, her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn't human, she was a shriveled hag with bat wings and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice me to ribbons.
The voice in his head had become deafening. "SUMMON THEM! OPEN THE GATE!"
So Percy followed what his instincts told him to do and he thrust his hands out in front of him and he felt something shatter. Suddenly a silver-ish gate materialized in front of him and the doors flung open as a small meteor shot out of the gate and landed on the ground.
The fire dissipated quickly revealing a person with fiery red hair wearing charcoal colored armor. A ragged blue cape hung from his back and resting across his shoulders was a sword as long as he was tall. The top of his head only reached midway up Percy's torso.
The thing that had once been Ms. Dodds stopped in midair for a second before the small human that seemed to be radiating the smell of fire. Not thinking it as a threat she dived towards it only for it to swing its sword cutting through her like a hot knife through butter.
Percy was too stunned to do anything, and could only gape as the bat thing that was once Ms. Dodds was a sand castle in a power fan. She had exploded into yellow powder, vaporized on the spot, leaving nothing but the smell of burning sulfur and a dying screech of evil in the air; Percy shuddered as he still felt the two glowing red eyes watching him.
Now he was alone with a short guy wielding a huge sword that killed his math teacher who turned out to be a freaky bat thing. "What's next a ninja demigod shows up."

"Who are you?" Percy asked the sword wielder.
The sword wielder smirked. "I'm Vargas, Fencer Vargas, at your service master." Vargas said cheerfully as he bowed in a knightly pose in front of Percy.
"So," Percy drew out trying to wrap his mind around the situation that he was in at the moment. "Where did you come from?"
"You summoned me of course." Vargas smiled until he saw the confused look that Percy was giving him and frowned. "You do understand what that means right?"
"No," Percy shook his head. "All I know is that you popped out of a doorway that appeared out of nowhere and vaporized my math teacher gone bat-lady into golden…dust?" Percy finished slowly looking around for the pile of dust that was once his math teacher only to find nothing.
The sound of squeaking wheels shook Percy from his musings and he looked at Vargas with huge horrified eye. "You Need To Hide!" Percy hissed picking him up looking around frantically for a place to hide him.
Vargas was in a similar state of panic before an idea struck him. "Master, just send me back through the gate and you can summon me later."
"How do I do that?" Percy said as Vargas gave him a blank stare.
"Do whatever you did to summon me!" Vargas shouted and the squeaking got louder.
Percy tried finding the same feeling that he felt before when had first summoned Vargas he moved his arms up and the same gate as before they opened up.
"Summon me once you're alone and I'll try to explain what I understand." Vargas said jumping into the gate which quickly disappeared.
With the squeaking sounding closer than before, so Percy made a mad dash to the entrance of the museum from the gallery.
When he got outside it was raining.
Grover was sitting by the fountain, a museum map tented over his head as a makeshift umbrella. Nancy Bobofit was still standing there, soaked from her unexpected swim in the fountain, grumbling to her ugly friends. When she saw Percy, she said, "I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped your butt."
"Who?"
"Our teacher. Duh!" Percy stared at her incredulously for a moment before asking what she was talking about. She just rolled her eyes and waked away.
He walked over to and asked Grover where Mrs. Dodds was.
He said, "Who?"
But he paused first, and he wouldn't look at him, so he thought Grover was messing with him.
"Not funny, man," He told him. "This is serious."
Thunder boomed overhead.
He saw Mr. Brunner sitting under his red umbrella, reading his book, as if he'd never moved.
Percy went over to him.
He looked up, a little distracted. "Ah, do you have a question Mr. Jackson?"
"Sir," Percy said, "where's Mrs. Dodds?"
He stared at him blankly. "Who?"
"The other chaperone. Mrs. Dodds. The pre-algebra teacher."
He frowned and sat forward, looking mildly concerned. "Percy, there is no Mrs. Dodds on this trip. As far as I know, there has never been a Mrs. Dodds at Yancy Academy. Are you feeling all right?"

So what did you all think? I will try to follow the canon storyline for the first and second book but it will change after those two.
Also what did you all think of Lucius gifting Percy with his power, he won't be overpowered summoning armies of units from Grand Gaia. He'll only be able to summon seven units, so any suggestions will be appreciated.
Also Lucius's powers will be playing a bigger role once the story gets past the Sea of Monsters.
So in the immortal words of Atlas and NeonZangetsu….
…Review, Would You Kindy? Seriously I would appreciate some feedback even if it's negative review I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to improve the story rewrite.
