Hello guys, I'm the OptmisticSpeaker and this is my first fanfiction ever!
The idea of a Chaos based PJ fanfiction that differs from the rest has popped in my head few weeks ago, and I finally had the courage to post it here for other people to R&R.
So, without further ado,
This is the DIVINE SHOWDOWN.
Ps: English is not my mother language, so I'll try my best not to make mistakes while writing this fanfiction.

You know, when I think about my life right now, I almost don't believe it is actually reality.
I got the perfect girlfriends, amazing friends, present parents, a rather nice step-father, oh, and I'm also the "Hero of Olympus".
Pretty amazing, right?
Couldn't be more wrong.
(approximately 1 hour before)
(elevator tune in the background, doors opening)
Ah, the Olympus, with all those Greek-based pillars and temples; I must admit that my girlfriend's rebuilding made it waaay better than before.
Walking through those marble streets still made me feel a bit uncomfortable, because after all, because I knew that some of the gods didn't like me very much, and yet I had to come here a lot recently because of my girlfriend's matters.
By the way, today was the last meeting of the The Olympians concerning the rebuilding of Olympus and I was going to meet my lovely girlfriend after she finished all of the paperwork and burocracy with the gods.
I approached the Hall of the Gods huge door, and the second I was going to open it, I heard some talk on the other side of the door.
"… he had to disappear!" Someone I couldn't identify said sharply to another one. "He was too dangerous!".
"This is too dangerous! What if someone finds out that we made the boy vanish?" Said a second voice who sounded very worried."We would be in real trouble."
"Can you two please shut your goddamm mouths?" Whispered a third angry female voice. "If you keep yelling like that, sooner or later someone will find out, and then we would really be in trouble."
"Trouble? Haha, c'mon dear aunt, who could put us in trouble?" Asked jokingly a fourth male voice. "I mean, the only beings more powerfull than us are the titans and the primordial, which by the way are either dead, missing or locked forever."
"What about the other gods,huh?" Asked the second voice in a skeptical tone. "They can do something about it, if they find out."
"We have the numbers, remember?" Calmly said the first male voice. "Plus the surprise effect on them if something does fail, and we have the help, even if unwillingly of that Athena girl."
I was already panicking with that mysterious gathering of apparently traitorous gods, but when he said that last sentece I almost lost my mind.
"I don't like the way we are threatening that poor girl, after all she is in love with the boy." Said a fifth female voice. "We shouldn't mess with real love like that...".
"Got a better idea?" Rudely asked the fourth male voice. "I didn't so."
"Let's go get the girl" Said the second voice while. "While we "prepare" her, you guys finish the details of our little plan."
"Make sure it comes out perfectly" Warned the first voice in a commanding tone. "I will not accept lame excuses."

So that's how my life went from hero to zero in less than one hour, quite tragic, right?
I mean, what can I do against five, maybe more, ultra-powerfull beings that want me dead? Right now I had to try to protect my girlfriend's life, even if that meant fullfilling those gods wishes...
(two days before in an unknown jungle)
(rain falling)
Great. It HAD to be raining.
Why am i being chased by those guys? I mean, I'm not a bad guy, I help mom with the homejob, I'm a regular student, I don't get involved in fights, and I don't do drugs nor alcohol...
Why didn't I listen to mom when I left home? "Alistair Kenneth, get back here and take this freaking jacket, it's going to rain heavily!" I totally ignored her, and now I see that she was right. I don't think that dying after having an argument with your own mother is in the top 5 list of nice deaths.
So, I had to survive this night in order to make up with mom; the problem is that being chased by those beings didn't give me much hope of getting out of here alive. But if I was going to go down, I would go down fighting.
After making up my mind, i turned around to face my destine. The thing is that he wasn't looking very good for me.
The first thing that hit me was the aura of pure violence and bloodthirst he was exhaling, something that made me feel bad and disgusted about war its casualities and made me want to throw up.
"Feeling dizzy kiddo? Don't worry, I'm going to make it quickly and painless." He taunted while drawing his pair of sword and spear. "C'mon, I want to get home for dinner."
"You guys needed to sent a god to get rid of me? Wow, I guess that makes me quite popular." I drew my axe from my back and removed its edge guard. "Let's see what a god can do then, shall we?" I taunted him.
"Fool child, think you can taunt me? Taunt this!" He shouted as he lunged forward aiming his spear's head to my chest; diving forward, I managed to dodge his stab and threw a slash towards his knee but he easily jumped over my axe's blade and fell upon it, locking it on the ground and while i tried to release my axe's blade from his grasp he sent a circular leftfooted kick towards my head that I had to roll sidewards to avoid it, but when I did it he managed to hit me with another well timed kick with his right leg that sent me flying to the ground.
I felt the impact on my back and immediately noticed that i had broken some bones and that if i wanted to have any chances of getting out of this fight alive, i had to go all in.
I got back up slowly and after recovering my axe from where it fell I released my large warhammer that was sealed inside a small cross and wielded it in my right hand charging at Ares trying to hammer his left shoulder but he easily blocked my blow with his sword; as he did that i saw the opening i was waiting for and I aimed a downwards axe slash towards his head.
My pair of weapons has a special ability when put together in a duel; my axe is one-bladed, which means that where it should have a second blade, there is a "pedestal" where my hammer's head can be easily hammered onto to give my axe more power behind its attacks. So when I slashed Ares' head he did block as usual, but now he wasn't expecting the sheer power of my warhammer behind my axe and therefore he only managed to divert the slash to his left arm, leaving a huge cut that went from the shoulder all the way down to the elbow; seeing the opportunity to finish the fight, I sent a hammer blow towards his badly wounded arm and even thought he tried to stop it he couldn't withstand it now and he was heavily thrown aside, only stopping when his head hit a tree knocking him out. Stopping to catch my breath I sensed another powerfull being creeping behind me and when i turned around to see who it was, all hope that i had conquered on my last fight vanished in a sec.
Right in front of me there was a middle aged overweighted man in a purple robe with leopard striped on it, wearing purple sandals and a vine crown in his head, exhaling an aura of pure madness, which almost made me want to give up on everything and just die; even thought it was insanely strong, my will to live and reunite with my mom was greater and I stood my ground and braced myself to face yet another god.
Before even thinking about initiating the fight he rooted my feet with his vines and they started to slowly rise in my body, until he had all my members locked. That was when I noticed Ares getting back up and angrily walked towards my moveless body while Dionysus said "Jeez, how can you lose a fight to a normal demigod? Kill that kid already." to which Ares retorted "He's not a normal demigod you idiot, he's one of the fourteen heroes." After that i saw Ares preparing to bring his sword down on me and the fear of dying really struck me. I thought about my mom, upset and alone because of her bad son; about my friends, who would be searching me like crazy and most of all i thought about my father, someone that never really cared about all his children, forgetting about the ones who couldn't create genial inventions and was always busy working and inventing that he never had time to see, much less talk to his own blood.
After having my "death life-flashback" i heard the swing of the blade and everything went black.
(somewhere in the middle of Chihuahuan desert, sandstorm raging)
As i walked through these long time forgotten ruins in the search of an unknown ancient gods' artifact, I started to feel alone in the world, because if I wanted to protect my girlfriend, my family and my friends I had to be declared dead and stay low for a good while, until i could figure out something to do about the traitorous gods and their little scheme. Thinking about that really made me feel bad about everything i was leaving behind; my parents and my school, the camp, my campers friends, Chiron, my half-brother Tyson and most of all Annabeth, whom i would miss the most.
After getting those thoughts out of my head, i started to arrange everything for my false death/escape and when I thought everything was ready I sat down and wait.
And wait, and wait, and wait.
And wait.
And when I thought that the gods had given up on killing me and it was all a bad joke, I heard a click and i finally saw what I was waiting for. The god's booby trap had been activated and after two seconds I heard a loud boom and I saw the temple's ceiling starting to crumble above me; that was when I put my plan into motion, I grabbed a well-preserved corpse of an ancient ancestor that resembled me with my clothes that I had brought along and threw it in the middle of the falling rocks and dust; after that I started to cave my way into a hidden tunnel that I had previously digged and as soon as I entered the escape tunnel, I detonated a well-placed set of dynamites in the entrance of it, and started to run like crazy as the whole tunnel started to fall upon me. When I saw the light in the end of it I felt so relieved that when I was getting very close I didn't even noticed a dark shadow involving me and slowly dragging me towards the dark.
And that's it, the prologue. .
I was kinda of anxious about posting it here, because it is my first attempt at something big like a fanfic, but i really hope you guys enjoyed the introduction of the Fanfic and I intend to post at least thrice a week but it will all depend on yours reaction to the fic.
Like my first OC? Don't worry, he still has a huuuuuuuuuuuuge role in the story, so we are definitely going to see him again.
Hope you all enjoy it and if possible, leave a review; it reallly helps :D.
OpS out.
