This is set on the Princess Andromeda before Beckendorf dies.

Kronos' time-slowing thing came to an abrupt end, and I wondered what he was pulling now.

"Percy..." Kronos sighed. "I must confess something... I am your father."

My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.

"But my father's Poseidon!" I exclaimed.

Luke–no, Kronos–dropped his head, ashamed.

"The son of Poseidon thing was a scam so that you could train somewhere safe. Poseidon himself bought it. Please, Percy come to the dark side! Join the Titans. We will let your friend here off the hook."

I looked over at Beckendorf. I raised my eyebrows at him quizzically; sending him a silent message asking him how long the explosion would go of after he pressed the detonator. He cupped his hand in a circle, showing me we had no time between.

I sighed and turned back to Kronos. "Well," I started, "do you get to wear black capes?"

"If you want to…" he replied.

"Do you get to laugh evilly?"

"It's kind of cheesy, but sure."

"And… The final decider… Do you have cookies?"

Suddenly, it was as if Luke had put up a huge struggle and won against Kronos' control for just a moment. He looked frantic. "Don't, Percy! Do-" and then he was sucked back under Kronos' power.

"Yes," Kronos said. "We have the best freshly baked, homemade cookies in the history of the universe. Just like the ones on Midwest Airlines."

"Then, we will join you."

IN AN EVIL GUY TITAN SIDE MEETING FOR BATTLE STRATEGY ON ATTACKING Manhattan.

Beckendorf and I walked into the meeting with long, swishy, fun, black capes.

"Okay," said one of the demigods. "We need to think this through clearly. We'll have our ships coming in from the East and Hudson rivers." The boy who was speaking had startling grey eyes that reminded me of Annabeth. Something snapped when I notice that–

"WHERE ARE THE COOKIES?" I bellowed. "THE COOKIES ARE MISSING! WHERE ARE THE UNIVERSE'S GREATEST FRESHLY HOME BAKED COOKIES THAT ARE JUST LIKE THE ONES ON MIDWEST AIRLINES?"

"We've never had cookies, Percy," said Ethan Nakamura.

Beckendorf and I looked at each other with shocked expressions what did they mean–

"NO COOKIES! THIS IS A DISGRACE! I AM APALLED! I QUIT!" That was Beckendorf

With that, Beckendorf and I walked out, took off our capes, and dropped them behind us. Then we jumped over the edge of the boat. My awesome water powers protected us.

As we were heading back to shore, Beckendorf pressed the detonator. Apparently Kronos hadn't bothered to dismantle the Greek fire yet, because the whole ship erupted in green flames. Then we went to shore and Blackjack picked us up.

ON MT. OLYMPUS AS LUKE IS DYING

"And Percy, I was trying to tell you that the cookies were a lie. Once I found that out, I wanted to be let out of the deal, but Kronos didn't let that happen. Oh yeah, he isn't your father by the way. Your father is Poseidon. He was lying to you…"

Review! You know you want to! ;D
