Chapter 1: Betrayal

Olympus

Percy POV.

It's been two years, Gaia defeated, the war over, and no random threats from power hungry, evil entities wanting to take over the world or to kill me, or stuff like that. The only downside is that I have a half brother, Caleb Thomson, who has an ego bigger than Olympus, and has somehow framed me for aiding Gaia in the war. Let me elaborate:

Flashback, Camp Half-Blood

I was on the way back from a nice nap back at my cabin, when I heard a scream and a roar. The Hydra, and I mean THE Hydra, the one that Heracles fought, anyways, the Hydra, from what I could make out, was chasing Grover and another demigod, sword in hand. I quickly drew Riptide and charged at the beast I fought long and hard, so the demigod and Grover could get to camp, cutting off the heads, and setting them on Greek fire so they can't grow back, yes you heard me, Greek fire. Anyways, after the Hydra was killed, I went over to camp to see if the new Demigod survived, but instead I got a punch in the face from Claresse and an angry Annabeth.

"What in the-" I said, but Claresse beat me to it

"You bastard, leaving the new demigod fighting the Hydra alone!" she shouted

"What?"

"Don't play dumb Seaweed Brain, you left him alone fighting the Hydra! He said so." shouted Annabeth

"Who said so?" I asked

"I did, my name is Caleb Thomson, and while you were knocked out on a tree, I had to save you're sorry ass." Said the new demigod, Caleb mockingly.

Now that I got a better look, he didn't look like much. He was the same age as me, green eyes, except not sea-green like mine, but barf-green. He had brown hair and was a little pudgy, but not enough to show.

The next day Poseidon came to claim Caleb, himself, and called him a hero for beating the Hydra "single handedly". Eventually he started taking my friends, as well as my reputation with the campers, first it was Claresse, for the Hydra incident, then the Stolls for his "pranking awesomeness", Katie when I was framed for destroying her plants, then Piper and Leo, gods know how, Jason, Reyna, Hazel and Frank I eventually lost, leaving me with Grover, who knew what really happened with the Hydra, Nico, Thalia, and Annabeth. But eventually Grover fell, after I was framed for destroying his pan-pipes, and the gift from his father that only I knew of. Nico was lost after Caleb reminded him that it was my fault that it was my fault Bianca died in the junkyard. Thalia went to Caleb after I was framed, again, for breaking something, this time her bow and hunting knives from Artemis. Annabeth I found cheating on me with that son of a Gorgon:

I was on my way to find Annabeth to ask if we could spar for a while. I couldn't find her in the Athena cabin, so I decided to look in our spot in the beach, and that's when I found them. What I saw was Caleb and Annabeth, kissing…on the lips…on our spot on the beach.

"HEY BASTARD!" I shouted, kicking Caleb and sending him back a few feet.

"What the Hades Percy!" shouted Annabeth

"Don't talk to me like that, h-how could you do this to me, after all I did." Tears were forming in my eyes

"How could I date such a selfish, uncaring guy like you. I was planning to dump you anyways." She replied

I was hurt, no…broken. I ran back to my cabin and literally tore the place apart, and that's when my dad flashed in.

"What do you want?" I asked

"A counsel has been called, and you are needed son." He said, emphasizing "son"

Little did I know that the counsel didn't need me, but was for me.

Olympus, Present Time

Percy POV.

"PERSEUS JACKSON, YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF AIDING GAIA, AND ASSULTING CALEB THOMSON, SON OF POSIDON, HOW DO YOU PLEAD!" boomed Zeus, while I was standing in front of the entire Olympian counsel and Camp Half-Blood campers. Everyone was giving me dirty looks, even Anna… the Athena-spawn.

"H-how could you accuse me of something I didn't do. And what evidence do you have of me aiding Gaia, but the 'assulting' of Caleb, I don't really feel bad about."

"We have eyewitness reports from several demigods, including Caleb that you slaughtered a whole squadron of Romans, including Octavian." Said Athena

You see, in the war Octavian was killed in battle, along with a squadron of Roman demigods. The survivors said it was "an ambush by the monsters", but Caleb's "evidence" seemed to prove otherwise.

"Considering the evidence presented, and the charges, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, ex-hero of Olympus, and defeater of the Titans Kronos, Ipaetus, Hyperion, Atlas and the Primordial Gaia, we shall vote to be sentenced to death." I wasn't really surprised of my sentence, being the drama queen Zeus is, and how everyone showed their hate towards me.

"All in favor of Perseus living." Hands were raised. Apollo, surprisingly Artemis, Hestia, Hades, Hera and some campers and hunters.

"Hades, you vote for the boy to live?" asked Poseidon

"Yes, and you don't, you vote your son to death." Replied Hades, leaving Poseidon at a loss for words.

"All who vote for his death?" Hands were raised again, Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Demeter, Ares, Annabeth, and many of the campers. It was only Hermes who stayed neutral

Zeus took out his master bolt, the one I found for him back when I was 12 and pointed it at me, "After a vote, it has been decided that Perseus Jackson shall be put to death. Any last words Jackson?"

"Just some. You all betrayed me, left me for dead, after all I did for you. I saved you from Kronos, and Gaia, but you put me to death for something I didn't do. So let me tell you this, in death, if you ever need my help, my forgiveness, or anything from me, let me tell you that I will never acknowledge you as family or friends. See you in Asphodel." Zeus then threw his bolt at me, and I was surrounded by a blinding light. I let out a scream; my last one and then everything went black.

Unknown Location

Unknown POV.

The hospital bed came rolling through the doors, what was on it was scary. On the bed was the charred body of Perseus Jackson; it was as if time froze around him, which it was. Bits of charred flesh floated close, his left eye was burned from his eyebrow, all the way to his neck, left arm only a burned bone with strips of flesh floating around and a gaping hole, destroying nearly half of his stomach and chest. If The kid were awake, he'd be dead. The medics used every known source of knowledge they had, magical and mechanical, even Chaos himself was in the operating room.

A few hours later the procedures were done and the kid was transferred to another room with me and Master Chaos at his bedside.

"How is he Master?" I asked

"He is stable for now." Master Chaos replied, "But I cannot lift the time-field around him yet, the spells and cybernetics still have to fully integrate to his nervous system."

"Master, why do we need the kid, I mean, is the stories really true?" I asked

"They are true and he is the key to our survival, and it seems that we are also the key to his Ryze."

"*Sigh, so what do we do now?" I asked

"We wait for him to recover, and give him his second chance at life." Replied Master Chaos, looking at Percy Jackson and his, overly bandaged body.
