Chapter One: No One Left
It was over. Camp Half-Blood was gone, the Romans have been slaughtered, the magicians of Brooklyn were annihilated, Magnus Chase had abandoned him, and Annabeth was...gone. The gods have faded from existence. There was no one left but Percy, Hazel, Sadie, Tyson, and Grover.
Perseus Jackson choked at the thought of it. He thought of how this all happened. As a part of the plan of his archenemy, Kronos, his demigod followers, using both Greek and Egyptian magic, were able to collect bare particles of his original form give Kronos a new body. The thought of it made Percy's brain hurt. He first thought that Kronos was unable to take up a new form again after their last battle from ten years ago due to the atoms of his consciousness and body being so thinly scattered across both Earth and Tartarus. Maybe he just needed something other than Greek magic to recreate himself. Maybe he just was able to take form but was patient for his return. Maybe...
He stopped thinking when a voice rung in his head. It was Kronos.
Kronos chuckled sinisterly, Do not worry, grandson, all the answers will come to you... in death!
Shut up, Percy hissed bitterly in his mind.
"Percy?"
Percy turned around to face Hazel Levesque. He realized he was standing on the porch of the Big House.
Hazel's golden eyes glittered in the darkness. She had cocoa-colored skin and she had cinnamon hair. Her hair was straightly brushed instead of being traditionally curled. She wore a red leather jacket and ripped jeans. She was an inch shorter than Percy.
"Yes?" Percy grimly asked.
"We're ready."
Whatever you have planned, it won't work, Kronos roared triumphantly in Percy's mind, I possess the power of all the gods and demigods that fell by my blade!
"Shut up!" Percy screamed out loud. He immediately regretted it. Percy looked at Hazel. She stared at him.
"Sorry..." Percy apologized sorrowfully.
Hazel calmly asserted, "It's alright, Percy. Kronos is messing with your head. If I was the one he was after," she placed her hand on his shoulder, "I would've gone insane by now."
Percy nodded, "Let's do this. I'm ready."
There was only one option left. In order to stop Kronos, they had to fight time with time. They had to use some of his old body' particles to do the most dangerous thing alive. To strike were Kronos was most vulnerable...
