So, I'm excited for this story. I had this idea and I just couldn't get it out of my head. So, I started writing and just couldn't stop. I'm going to try to stick to the story line as much as possible, but like any fanfiction, I, as the author, get to change somethings. Plus seeing how I am adding characters to the word of Sword Art Online, from the Percy Jackson world, things are going to be different. Please read and review. I don't know how often I will get to update this story because I have a few others that I am working on as well.

One final thought before I begin Japan is 13 hours ahead of New York.

Oh! One more thing! I do not own and of the Percy Jackson characters or SAO characters. Now, on with my new story!


10:05 p.m. in New York 11/05

"I'll be fine," Percy said for the hundredth time into his cell phone.

"Percy, you know technology is horrible for us," Annabeth said as she practically yelled at her idiotic boyfriend.

"Annabeth" Percy said with a sigh, "we're using technology right now."

"You know that this is different! Leo and his siblings designed these phones so that way monsters can't find us!" Annabeth continued to shout at him.

"Hey, I'll be fine. I'll only play for 30 minutes at a time. I'll set alarms so that way I don't use the Nervegear longer than I should," Percy said as he unlocked the apartment door. "Besides, you know my room is protected from monsters. We developed that celestial bronze paint, that means that my room is warded against monsters."

"That's not the same!" Annabeth shouted. She had a bad feeling about the new virtual reality game that had been released. "Besides, it's only been tested a few times in controlled environments!"

"Well, I'm going to field test it now," Percy said as he set his things down on the coffee table as he walked back to his room. He would put it away after he finished logging in.

"Percy!" Annabeth tried again.

"Wisegirl, I want one normal experience. I want to play video games like normal teen," Percy said as he set the gear down on his bed. He had less than an hour until everything would begin online but he still had to do final checks to make sure that everything was hooked up right.

"So, rebel!" she shouted as she walked across Camp Halfblood. She ignored the weird looks that the other campers were giving her. "Do something stupid, besides playing a video game!"

"Annabeth, I promise I will be offline within a half an hour of playing," Percy said in a final tone. He knew that he should probably listen to Annabeth but he was getting something that he never in a million years dream of being able to play.

His stepdad had pulled a few strings to get him the Nervegear so that way he would be able to play Sword Art Online. It had been a late birthday present because of Hera kidnapping him. Paul had call a friend that was in the army and stationed over in Japan. Paul had begged his friend to buy one when the beta testing had been going on. Luckily, Paul's friend had been able to get one, but not in time for Percy to take part in the beta testing. But Percy had gotten it in time for him to be able to take part in the main event.

"Percy," Annabeth said in a last-ditch effort.

"I'll call you as soon as log off," Percy said as he hung up the phone. He really wanted to say, 'I love you' at the end, but he chose to instead just hang up and say it when he called her later on that night.


"Aah!" Annabeth screamed in frustration as she stormed through the camp at 10:15 p.m. On her way to her cabin she passed by Jason and some other campers that were working late into the night on new shrines and cabins for the minor gods.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked as he momentarily stopped overseeing the construction of the new temples.

"No! Percy is being even more dumb than Hera!" Annabeth shouted to the heavens, choosing to ignore the thunder rumble. She didn't care as the sky gave a rumble in protest. Annabeth was about to start taking her frustrations out on the sky when Leo interrupted her thoughts.

"What's he doing now?" Leo asked as he looked over towards his friends. He had been standing over by the construction of a new cabin for some minor god that he couldn't pronounce the name of, helping when he could.

"He's going to try out that knew video game Sword Art Online," Annabeth grumbled as she plopped down on the grass.

"He got a copy of SAO!" Conner shouted from where he was working.

"No fair!" Travis shouted from where he was working beside his brother.

Annabeth sent both of them a glare with a clear message of shut up.

"I mean, he's such an idiot," Travis tried to remedy.

"Yea, an idiot," Conner echoed as he went back to work to escape the wrath of Annabeth.

"I can't believe he got a copy of SAO," Leo said as he walked over towards his best friend and Annabeth. "That's really cool."

"No, it's not cool because he's a demigod," she said as she attempted to control her anger.

"So?" Leo said as he looked at Annabeth.

Jason hung his head at Leo. He knew that Leo hadn't spent a whole lot of time in Camp Half-blood, but he thought his friend wouldn't have been so dense. "Leo, half-bloods and technology don't mix remember."

"Oh, right," Leo replied sheepishly. "I forgot about that."

"I need Piper," Annabeth said as she got up and stormed off.

"Why does she need your girlfriend?" Leo asked as he slowly started following the blond.

"I don't know but I intend to find out," Jason said as he followed as well. If Annabeth needed Piper, Percy was going to be in world of hurt when he finished his video game.

"Piper!" Annabeth shouted as she pounded on the Aphrodite cabin. "Piper I need you now!"

"Annabeth?" Piper asked in a confused voice. "You do realize that it is 10:20 at night, right?"

"Yes, I realize the time," Annabeth shouted in frustration.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked as she stepped out of her cabin and shut the door. Some of her younger siblings were already in bed asleep.

"Percy's doing something stupid again," Annabeth continued to shout.

"More so than usual?" Piper asked.

"Yes!" Annabeth screamed. She was getting herself all worked up again. "He's going to play that new virtual reality game and I have a terrible feeling about it!"

"Have you told him?" Piper asked.

"Yes, but he won't listen. He keeps going on about how he wants a normal experience in his life," Annabeth said as she started pacing around.

"So, let me guess. You want me to call and talk with him?" Piper offered.

"No, I want you to call and charmspeak him into destroying his video game and console!" Annabeth shouted in rage. She knew that she needed to calm down, but at the moment, she didn't care. Her feeling of unease had been growing with each passing second. She felt that something bad was going to happen, and happen soon.

"Alright I'll call him," Piper said gently as she pulled out her cellphone. She dialed her friend's number and waited for him to pick up. She waited, and waited, until finally the sound of his voicemail filled her ear. Instead of hanging up like she normally would, Piper left a voicemail. "Hey, Percy when you get this message I want you to destroy Sword Art Online and never play it again. Once you finish destroying the game I want you to call us," Piper said as she let her powers flow into her words.

"Now we wait," Leo stated as he sat down on the wet grass outside the cabin.

The four of them sat in the grass waiting. Annabeth was a wreck, growling at any of them at the slightest thing. Jason was worried for Percy, because Annabeth was going to kill him the next time she saw him. Piper was worried about Annabeth, she had never saw her best friend act this way. And Leo, Leo was just agitated because Annabeth's behavior was setting him on edge.

"Where's Percy!" Rachel screamed as she ran up to the four waiting on the ground.

"At home getting ready to play that new VRMMORPG," Leo stated. Everyone turned towards the son of Hephaestus in shock. "Hey just because we aren't allowed to play videogames doesn't mean I don't know about them."

Rachel shook herself out of her state of shock before she frantically spoke up saying, "He's in danger. Sword Art Online is a trap."

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"I had a vision of Percy and thousands of other people in a comatose state with those videogame helmets on. I saw doctors slowly wheeling people away that had flatlined with the helmets on. Families grieving over the loss of their players," Rachel said as she tried not to cry. It had been a horrible glimpse of the future.

"Call him again," Jason ordered immediately as Annabeth stood there in shock.

"It went to voicemail again," Piper stated a minute later. "When does this thing go online?" Piper asked as she looked around at her friends.

"11:00 p.m. here in New York," Annabeth stated, still in shock.

"It's 10:35 now, we have less than 25 minutes to get to Percy," Leo stated as he looked around.

"We'll take my car," Rachel said as she took off sprinting towards the big house where her car was parked.

Jason and Piper grabbed Annabeth's hands and dragged her after them as they ran after Rachel. No one bothered to buckle up as Rachel gunned it down the road and away from camp. They had twenty-two minutes to reach their friend and it took an hour on a good day to reach his apartment.

Jason call next as he tried to warn his friend. He was starting to get worried that Percy had already put the Nervegear on.

"Try calling Nico," Rachel suggested as she didn't bother going the speed limit. If she got caught, so what. Her friend was in danger.

"What good will that do?" Leo asked as he sat in the front seat next to Rachel.

"He can shadow travel to Percy than we can drive," Rachel said as she took a corner that suggested she go 45 while she was going 70 mph.

"Right," Leo muttered as he pulled out his phone. He quickly dialed Nico's number.

Nico finally answered it on the last ring. "This had better be good, Valdez," Nico seethed. "I'm on a date."

"Who are you on a date with?" Leo asked dumbly.

"Leo!" everyone shouted.

"If that is the only reason why you called, I'm hanging up," Nico said.

"Give me the phone!" Piper shouted as she snatched the device. "Nico, you need to go help Percy right now. His life is in danger," Piper said frantically at the clock in the car read 10:52 p.m.

"What's going on?" Nico said as he gave his friends his full attention. Even shot Will a look letting him know that something serious was going on.

"Percy is about to play that new game Sword Art Online and it's a trap," Piper said quickly. "Once someone's logged in, they can't log back out."

"Where is he?" Nico asked as he motioned for the waiter to bring them their check.

"Annabeth, where is Percy?" Piper asked.

"Home, he's at home," she replied as she stared straight ahead.

"He's at his apartment," Piper stated.

"Okay, Will and I are heading their now," Nico stated as he hung up his phone.

"I'll call Percy again, you try Sally," Jason said as he dialed the number again.

"Nothing," Piper said as she hung up her phone.

"Do you have Paul's number?" Jason asked. He saw Piper shake her head no. "I'll call him, you call Percy."

"We're not going to make it," Rachel whimpered as her clock read 10:58.

"No," Annabeth whimpered as well. She pulled out her phone and called him. She prayed to every god that she knew of asking one of them asking that Percy would pick up his phone. But the gods must have hated her because she got his voicemail as Rachel's clock struck 11:00. "Percy, if you're getting this message, please call me. I love you so much. Just please call me so I know you didn't use that game."

As she hung up, Leo phone rang, effectively scaring them all. "Hello," Leo said as he put his hand over his heart to calm himself down.

"We're too late," Nico said simply as he hung up the phone.


Percy noticed as he got out of the shower that he had two missed call from Piper and two from Jason. 'Figures, Annabeth would go to them,' Percy thought to himself as he tossed his phone onto the desk. He then got to work on setting up his new machine and game. He had ten minutes until the game lunched.

By the time he had finished setting up his game, Percy had a minute left until launch of the game. As he prepared himself, Percy saw his phone light up again. This time he had been receiving a call from Annabeth, but he hadn't noticed. He was too excited to play his new game. Percy grabbed the helmet and slipped it on.

He figured that he would apologize later and tell her all about the architecture that was a part of the game. When Percy had first heard about the game he had started reading a few articles about the new game. But when Paul told him that he was getting a copy as a late birthday gift, Percy had read every article about the game he could. He even had a few friends help him when his dyslexia had really acted up. He read that Akihiko Kayaba had study a lot of different, real architectural designs as he designed his new game. Percy made sure that he would remember everything to tell his girlfriend.

He was buzzing with excitement. This was his first virtual reality game he was going to play, Hades, it was his first actual videogame that he owned. He was excited as he laid down on his bed. 'Only thirty minutes,' Percy thought to himself. He could risk thirty minutes before the monsters may come after him.

Percy smiled to himself as he spoke out loud saying, "Link start."


I promise the chapters will be longer. I just thought that this would be a great place to end. I hope that you enjoyed!
