This takes place after the Titan war
Annabeth Point of View
4 years ago, I met this green eyed boy called Percy. Nobody would have foreseen what was coming. The great titan war… even what came after that. It all started in the final battle between Kronos the Titan and Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. We had defended Manhattan for days, fellow demigo- no, fellow friends of mine died alongside me and what was it for? In the end Kronos still got to the throne room. In the end Percy still lost. We should have just all stayed in Camp Half Blood. It wouldn't have made a difference for the fate of the world.
I was with Percy and Grover when we went to confront Kronos in the Olympian Throne room. Needless to say, I was scared. When we got there it was most terrifying of all. It was luke. Kronos the titan was in my old best friend Luke's body. I had prepared for this moment. I knew I would have to face Lu-, Kronos eventually. In the throne room, what was once beautiful marble and godlike architecture was now just rubble on the floor.
"It's over, Kronos! Surrender" Percy said in a demanding tone. I wanted to smack him right then and there. I mean, sure Percy had killed Titans before, but this was Kronos! We had better chances sneaking up on him. Why would Percy talk to him? Nothing changed, Kronos still continued to smash his scythe down at pieces of rubble while we just stood there watching.
Grover was the first to act, he brought up his reed pipes and started playing his tune, I instantly saw what it was doing, little roots were growing around Kronos's feet. But as soon as they grew longer than an inch Kronos threw his scythe straight at Grover. Before I knew it, it had done a massive gash at Grover's throat. The effect was almost instant. He flopped onto the floor, like a rag doll. I dropped to my knees just to check if he was still alive. I quickly looked at Percy only to see him sluggishly moving towards Kronos. Obviously Kronos was using his time magic to slow Percy down. Kronos had stopped ripping things apart with his scythe and started to watch us. Laughing to himself every few seconds.
I ran my fingers around Grover's wound, that was my last mistake. By the time I noticed that the Scythe was poisonous and I just touched the poison on Grover's neck, I already felt the poison getting in my bloodstream through my skin. I looked back at Percy and yelled, "Percy!" with all my force. He looked back and I saw a sign of recognition in his eyes. A click as if he fully understood what happened. Which hr probably did. My last sight was Percy's futile attempts to run towards me. Then everything went black and I joined Grover on the floor.
Percy Point of View
I was frozen in place. My best friend died because I was too slow to react. I watched as Annabeth, the girl I've had a crush on since the first time we met, die because I was too slow to react. He made me watch, frozen in time.
"Bastard!" I heard someone shout. It looked as if the sound came from my mouth, but didn't recognize the voice. I attempted to charge at Kronos one more time, but I was still stuck in time. He just stood there, laughing to himself.
"Percy, it's over. The Titans have won the 2nd Titan war." Kronos said, picking his words carefully, "Even if your gods defeat Typhon, the outcome will still be the same. There are much greater forces that helped me win this war. You are nothing but a puny son of Poseidon." He swung his scythe around in a circular shape and started walking towards me.
"You killed Grover. You killed Annabeth. Most importantly, Luke, you killed yourself." I don't know what to feel. Or what he meant. All I know is I am going to hurt Kronos so bad, he will be forced to abandon Luke's body. Then Luke will pay.
"Luke is dead! You think you can duel against a Titan?! My brothers are fools. You have no chance with me!" he roared while smashing down his Scythe towards me. From then it was as if I could control time all of a sudden. I somehow smashed right through the time barrier he has put me in, as if it was glass, and dodged his strike. I didn't say anything but I quickly fixed my footwork and went into an offensive position. I wasn't in the mood to play defensive, "What the… how? That's not possibl-" He was cut off when I started throwing offensive blows towards him. He wasn't prepared to be fighting a fair fight, but that didn't say that he was weak. We had both dipped in the river Styx so we had invulnerable skin. But we both felt it, the effect was gone the second we started fighting. Why? Neither of us had time to find out why.
Everything was a blur for me, Slash, Block, Swing, Block, Repeat. I was so focused on fighting that I didn't notice that I was somehow winning. What seemed like hours later, both me and Kronos were covered in each other's blood and Kronos was pinned to the tip of Riptide leaning against the wall.

Well damn, that was the most fun I've had in years. Defeating Typhon proved to be far more difficult than Zeus expected. Nobody was surprised that my father was wrong. Not even his little princess Athena! No I'm gonna have to sit through one of those boring council meeting because apparently our Demigods protected Olympus or something? I was actually pretty tired and wanted to take a long deserved rest before checking up on all my kiddos.
Walking through the broken throne room doors with my family I instantly realised how much the Demigods had done. I saw my grandfather, pinned to the wall by no other than Percy Jackson. himself. Nearby were two bodies, the blonde daughter of Athena and the satyr that once helped Clarisse. I watched as Athena ran to her daughter's body and started crying tears of grief.
All the other Gods and Goddesses, slowly approached Percy, "Percy, you can't kill a titan, you know that. What are you doing?" My uncle said.
It was the first time we saw Percy's eyes in this entire scene. He looked at us, his figure completely unfazed by our presence. He talked slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. Which technically did because he was holding the Titan of Time at gunpoint… "I want everyone here to swear something to me"
"Sure thing, nephew, just let us properly dispose of my fath-"
"NO! I swear on the river styx that if you don't accept my demands I will let him free right this instant and he will 'properly dispose' of you all!" Percy shouted back at my father.
"Okay Percy, calm down. What do you want us to do?" Poseidon said, obviously prepared to do anything Percy said. Meanwhile, Athena was still sobbing next to Annabeth.
"Swear that you will never let this happen," Percy gestures at Kronos, "Swear that you will never forget your kids again."
"We swear. I talked to my wife earlier about this. On behalf of all the gods and goddess in and under the Olympian Council, I swear that we will start treating our children better." Zeus said without hesitation. Thunder rumbled outside, probably because of the oath that was just made.
"Okay. Open a portal to Tartarus so I can throw my Grandfather there and get ouf of here" Percy said, not letting his guard down but finally showing his fatigue.
All the gods, including me lined up and started chanting a spell that would open a 1 way portal to Tartarus. This enchant would sap lots of our power but it was a risk we must take. My grandfather was far too powerful to be sent down the long way.
When the portal finally opened, Percy threw Kronos in. It was in a fluid motion so Kronos wouldn't have any time to react. We all just stood there for a moment. Until the unexpected happened. A silver arrow rained in from the back of the room, Artemis, who refused to chant the spell with us shot an arrow. Straight towards Percy. My first thought was That kid is about to get it lmao. Then I remembered that he just saved all of Olympus. So I panicked a little bit. Just a little.
Percy, who had his guard down because he thought he was among friends, saw the arrow too late. He got hit right in the chest and was sent flying backwards into the now closing portal. Nobody could tell if he survived or not. It was too late to find out. But one thing was for certain.
Percy Jackson was in Tartarus.
