A/N: This is my first fanfic, so do leave a review. Thanks for taking the time to read my fanfic. Now, on with the story!

Chapter 1

A lone man stood at the prow of his ship, gazing out at the choppy sea that reflected the stormy emotions of its master.

He rarely stood by and thought of his old life, but the assignment he had just received had painfully reminded him of those times.

Back at Camp Half-Blood.

He remembered.

After the Giant War, Annabeth had begun to grow distant. She was no longer his Wise Girl.

And then there was the problem of Jake.

The son of Poseidon had come along, chased by the Minotaur again. When Percy had killed it, he took the sword, and claimed the glory while Percy sat in a mound of monster dust, looking stupid.

But that was only the beginning.

He watched, as he was framed for things he had never done, forcing him to let go of his friends. Each one was like hammer blow to his heart.

Soon, he found Annabeth drifting away from him, getting distant, spending far less time with him. Being the loyal person he was, he stood aside and let her go after his half brother.

The final blow was when he found out his mother had died. He just couldn't take the pain. Any further. He realised that he couldn't stay at the camp that had once been his home. The place that had once been full of his friends, the place that had once offered him happiness and joy was now full of heartbreak and painful memories. He left with Blackjack, never to be seen again.

"Percy." The familiar voice of his commander shook him out of his reminiscence. He turned to find himself looking at a 18 year old teenage girl. She wore glossy, piano-black high heeled shoes, with shiny, skin tight black pants, and a black jacket. She had the sharp and clear cut face, wearing the purest black sunglasses. Her glossy black hair was strung up in a ponytail. Her eyes swirled black and silver, glowing with an unknown amount of power. Her regal face was impossibly beautiful, but she wasn't hot. She was beautiful in a timeless, queenlike way, in a way that would have even Zeus taking her for royalty, groveling at her feet. But Percy knew better. This was her true and original form, the creator of the universe, the first primordial.

"Lady Chaos." Percy answered stiffly. "How may I be of assistance?"

"Look, Percy, I don't like this assignment any better than you. But you must realise that our enemy has unprecedented power, enough to take over this planet. As much as I don't like the rule of the Olympians, they remain the best option we have." Chaos sighed. "I came to inform you that you won't be alone in this task. The enemy is powerful, and I will be sending your comrades to fight as well. The other three will be joining you. You may reveal your identity as you see fit."

Percy descended into thought. "It's alright. I've come to terms with what happened. It's just… I don't know if they will recognise me. I don't know how they will respond when they do. I don't know, Chaos. Will they even trust me after they realise I left them on their own for two millennia?"

"First off, you're practically blond now. Second, you are far more tanned. You've also grow almost a foot, and your eyes have darkened from the infusion of my power. You will always find strength in your roots, but you must realise that no one will recognise you. You must reach there in two days. Don't give me excuses. We all know that you could get to Camp in twenty minutes from now if you wanted to." Chaos put her hand under Percy's chin, lifting his head up so he could meet her eye. "Percy, it will be alright. Your comrades know who you are. They know your past. They will be careful not to reveal you. You can reveal your identity as you see fit."

Percy simply nodded, before turning away and returning to his cabin. Then he remembered something, and he hurriedly poked his head out of the cabin once more. "Uhh, Chaos… do you mind replacing my sword or giving it a makeover? Riptide would blow my cover instantly, and you know I don't want that to happen." Chaos merely nodded, and dissolved into the darkness.

Percy pulled twin ballpoint pens from his pocket and uncapped them. The familiar bronze blades gleamed in the dim light of his cabin. Percy gave the sword a look, and the surface of the blades seemed to ripple. The sword took on a different form, with wave designs etched onto the now silver blade in gold. Percy looked closer. The inscriptions also rippled, Riptide changing to become Undercurrent. He shook his head and resigned himself to his fate as he returned to the prow. Suddenly, the ship sped up, moving at speeds that should have been impossible for a vessel of it's size. Within minutes, the ship disappeared across the horizon, leaving no trace that it had even been there.

Edges of Yosemite, California

A raven flew far above in the night sky, it's dark eyes glowing with power and intelligence. The raven seemed to scan the area, circling the large field multiple times.

A beautiful woman with raven black hair like that of Chaos emerged from the forest. A pure black fedora perched upon her head, seeming to draw the little remaining light in. Her eyes glowed with the same dark power of the raven. She seemed to stare into space for a minute, before the power in her eyes dimmed. Her eyes snapped back to her surroundings. "All clear, Kira. Circle back." the woman announced. The bird landed upon her shoulder. "Good hunting, I guess?" she asked, and then laughed. "We have a long way to go. Gear up." she said. Surprisingly, the bird tipped its head in understanding, before taking off into the sky once more. Soon, both of them seemed to dissolve into the darkness of the night.

Egypt

Standing in the sunrise, a young man with golden hair seemed to glow with an ethereal light as he seemed to absorb the sunlight. His golden eyes glowed with power, shining with a light that rivaled that of the sun. His image seemed to shimmer and shift, as if he were merely a mirage in the vast desert. A snake coiled around his neck, hissing as if it were speaking to it's master. The man laughed. "Of course, Han." He murmured. "The power of Ra will bring us where we are most needed. Let us be ready." The snake hissed again, almost as if in agreement. The man's form shimmered in the light of the rising sun, before it flickered and vanished into the intense glow of the beautiful sunrise. His disembodied laugh seemed to roll across the sand dunes as he vanished.

The northern edges of Canada

Snow fell, covering the ground in a fine layer of white and peppering the trees. A blonde girl seemed to walk through the small town, unaffected by the cold. The men, women and children were frozen, with one child hanging mid-air, mid-squeal. The girl chuckled as she walked past them. Her eyes glowed a solid gold, like 24 carat gold. Suddenly, the village unfroze in time, and the girl sped up, streaking off into the distance.

A/N: The next chapter will have Chaos informing the Olympians. Stay tuned!
