This is my second Percebeth after Tartarus story. Don't judge me, I just get alot of ideas that I think are good, but I can't mash them all together. Please read my other stories if you get the chance. I have Percy Jackson stories and a PJO/HG crossover.

Please read and review my story. ENJOY!


"Please, Lord Hades, isn't there anything you could do to get them back?" Piper asked, almost begging.

Hades thought about it for a minute. "I suppose there's a possibility." he said carefully. "However it won't be easy, and there must be a price."

"And what is that you would like?" Hazel asked.

"A throne." Hades said.

"A, a throne?" Leo asked confused.

"A throne on Olympus."

"You want to be an Olympian?" Jason asked. Hades nodded.

"That is my price to save your companions."

"You know we can't guarantee that." Frank spoke up.

"But alas, you can." The six demigods were confused.

"How?" Nico asked.

"Assuming you win the war, the Olympians will offer each of you a gift." Hades said. "All you have to do is use one of your gifts to allow me to be an Olympian."

"And if we don't win the war?" Frank asked.

"Then there won't be a need for me to have a throne will there?" The demigods nodded at the sound logic. "So, demigods, is it worth it to get your friends out of that Hell hole?" All the demigods looked unsure. They all turned away from the god and huddled together. They started whispering.

"Guys," Frank said. "Percy would do the same for us."

"He'd do it no matter what the cost. We can't do something for him just because it's what he'd do for us. Personal loyalty is his fatal flaw." Jason pointed out.

"And that's exactly what is going to get him killed in Tartarus." Nico said. The other boys were immediately confused.

"How do you mean?" Leo asked.

"Sometimes you boys are just plain stupid." Piper said. Hazel nodded in agreement.

"Need I remind you, it's not just Percy we're saving. We have to save Annabeth aswell." Nico said ignoring Piper's statement. "He loves her more than anyone, except maybe his mother. He'll do anything to save Annabeth, even if it means killing himself."

"We have to save them." Hazel said. The boys looked around unsure. "Please?"

Jason sighed. He'd already gone against her when Nico was missing. He didn't want to do it again. "Fine, but making Pluto an Olympian will throw the whole council out of balance. There would be thirteen thrones instead of twelve. And I'm sure there is no way in Tartarus the Olympians would give up one of their own thrones for him. How could we keep the balance?"

"Jason," Piper said. "The council is already out of balance. Dionysus took Hestia's throne."

"Then that's how we'll keep the balance." Leo said.

"How do you mean, Valdez?" Piper asked.

"We'll ask them to give Hestia a throne as well. Fourteen thrones wouldn't put it out of balance."

"That's actually a good idea." Frank said. "Take the deal Jason."

Jason nodded and turned back towards the god. "We accept your terms. If you save Annabeth and Percy from Tartarus, and we win the Giant War, we will use our gifts to make you an Olympian god. If we loose the war, well, we're dead anyway."

"Swear on Styx." Hades said.

"Wait, if we swear on Styx, and loose the war, we won't be stuck with whatever happens when a swear on Styx is broken, correct?" Piper asked. Hades sent a questioning look. "I mean, we wouldn't even have the chance to make the request, and I'm sure they won't give us our gifts before the war is even fought."

"No. You will not be punished if you loose the war. The only punishment will be if you win, and don't make me an Olympian."

"What if the other gods refuse?" Frank asked. "There isn't anything we'll beable to do if they refuse to grant that wish."

"If you all wish it, there's no way they can refuse it, but if they don't, you won't be punished."

"Okay." Jason said. "We swear on Styx to follow the agreement as we understand it. You will save Annabeth and Percy no matter what. If we win the war we will use our gifts to make you an Olympian. If the gods refuse the first time, all of us will wish for it. However, I am not swearing for Percy and Annabeth. They get whatever they want as their gift. If the gods will not accept, we do not get punished. If we loose the war, and don't get the chance to make you an Olympian, we will not be punished."

"I swear on Styx to follow through with the deal just as you've described it." Hades said grinning. Thunder rumbled in the distance sealing the deal. "Now, go back to your ship and resume your quest. When I retrieve Mr. Jackson and Miss. Chase, I will transport them into their cabins. Good luck."
