It's been two days since Percy brought an unconscious Grover to Camp Half-Blood, and he was getting "shown" around the place by his girlfriend in the last timeline, Annabeth Chase.
"According to Grover, you seem to have some skill with a sword. That should come handy during Capture The Flag tomorrow." Annabeth told Percy. He nodded his head at her, and felt his pen in his pocket. They walked down to the sword arena, and Percy saw Luke there practicing. He was resisting the urge to pull his sword out and kill Luke then and there, but he had an even better idea.
"Hey you! The blonde dude in the sword arena! I challenge you to a swordfight!" Percy yelled loud enough for the whole camp to hear. All of the campers came to the arena to see what was going on, and sat down in the stands.
"You want to challenge me, the best sword fighter in the camp, to a duel. Who do you think you are noob?" Luke asked Percy in curiosity. Percy smiled at Luke and thought to himself "I'll go with humiliation for now."
"I'm the new best sword fighter in the camp now. You're the second best, and I'll prove it right now." Percy told Luke in a taunt. Luke was getting angry at Percy for calling him out in front of the whole camp, and pointed his sword at him.
"Bring it on, you second-class no name." Luke growled through his teeth. Percy pulled his pen out of his pocket, and clicked the button, transforming it into a sword. He stood right where he was with both his hands and his sword down, as if he was taunting Luke even further. Luke angrily rushed at Percy, and started striking at him from all angles. Percy effortlessly deflected all of the strikes, since he remembered how Luke taught him in the last timeline. Then Percy did that move that Luke taught him, where he placed the blade of his sword near Luke's sword's hilt, and disarmed him and took his sword at the same time. He also kicked Luke in both of his knees, making Luke fall to the ground on his knees, and when Luke brought his head up, Percy had both swords at Luke's neck execution style. Percy threw Luke's sword on the ground.
"I'm the new best sword fighter in Camp Half-Blood. Next time I won't be so nice. The name's Percy Jackson: remember it." he whispered in Luke's ear. He reached down to help Luke with a fake smile on his face, and Luke fell for the fake smile, and accepted the help up.
"You my friend, are better than me at the sword. I'd like to see what the future would bring for you. Percy Jackson." Luke told Percy, and then he looked above Percy's head.
Everyone around Percy gasped at something that was above his head, and he had a feeling that Chaos just claimed him as his own. He looked up to see what the symbol for Chaos was, and it turned out to be a small image of a solar system.
"All hail Percy Jackson, the Son of Chaos." Chiron somehow managed to come out of nowhere to make that announcement. Instead of basking in the glory in front of everybody that was staring at him, Percy walked away from the arena and headed towards the cabins. When he got to the cabin area, a new cabin had appeared out of the ground, and it was black and red, just like Percy's sword. He walked into the cabin, and closed the door behind him. He saw that his father gave him a seriously upgraded house. He had a lounge, and the living room had a 72-inch flat screen HDTV, and the kitchen was luxurious. He looked at a note on the refrigerator, and it read :
"Dear Percy, don't worry about how much all of this stuff is. You deserve the best, and I'm going to give it to you. The refrigerator will restock itself every three days, so feel free to enjoy to your highest expectations. Also, I've given you your own bathroom complete with your own shower. Also, if you pull a certain book in the bookcase, you'll find your very own gym fit with everything that you need for your exercising pleasure. Before I forget, I've also given you a credit card with an unlimited amount of money on it. It's located on the nightstand in your bedroom. Have fun planning on your destruction of Olympus.
From, Dad
P.S, the door only responds to those who have my blood in their veins. You can easily give anyone access to the cabin, if they add blood to the recognition system, and there are a few guest rooms on the second floor, hidden behind the wall the TV is on in the living room. Cheers.
Percy looked at everything in the cabin, and smiled to himself. He walked to his bedroom, and could easily tell his dad pulled out all of the stops. He had an entertainment system with another high-definition TV, and every single game console that was out at the time. On the side of the entertainment center were all of the recent and hottest video games out right now, and the bed could easily fit five people in it. He even had a desk with a high-tech laptop with high-speed internet. He plopped onto the huge bed, and smiled up at the ceiling.
"You really came through for me dad. Thank you." he told the sky.
"You're quite welcome. After all, I did say you deserved the best, and I meant it too." came his father's voice from the doorway. Percy got up from the bed, and walked over to his father.
"I thought gods couldn't talk directly to their demigod offspring?" Percy asked his father.
"I'm not a god though. I'm a Primordial Being, and that means that the ancient laws do not apply to me. Especially since I have the power to wipe the Fates from existence with a wave of the hand. As do you." Chaos told Percy. Percy looked down at his hands, and open and closed them.
"I know about the powers I have from being your son. I can feel them at my disposal at any given moment. It's really tempting to use them on the camp, but this is my home. I will not destroy my home. However, I will destroy the Olympian Council and become the head of the new council. I'll make sure the gods don't neglect their duties again. Starting with the annoyance here at Camp Half-Blood, Mr. D or should I call him Dionysus?" Percy asked his father with a slight smile. Chaos returned the warm smile to his son.
"I'm about to take a trip to Olympus, and you continue what you're doing. If you need anything Percy, and I mean anything at all, then call me." He disappeared out of the room leaving Percy alone, and Percy decided to play Call of Duty: Ghosts on his new Xbox One. At least he was playing it, and was dominating the game until he heard a knock on the door. Percy paused the game, and went to answer the door. He opened it, and a familiar face was staring at him.
"What do you want?" Percy asked the person.
Meanwhile on Olympus, the gods and goddesses were in an uproar.
"HE'S A CHILD OF CHAOS?! WHY WOULD CHAOS TAKE A DEMIGOD CHILD NOW?!" Athena asked loudly.
"EVERYBODY BE QUIET!" Zeus ordered all of the gods and goddesses. The hall instantly gotten quiet, but then it suddenly got really cold. The hall got even more quiet if possible, and soon a figure arrived in the middle of the hall.
"Lord Chaos. What brings you here?" Zeus asked Chaos in fear. Chaos looked around at all of the immortal beings in his presence, before speaking to them.
"As you can see, I have a demigod son. If any one of you dare to hurt him in any way, I'm coming for all of you and I'll wipe every single one of you from existence, never to come back again. Also, my son will be your judge, your jury and your executioner if he deems fit. You gods have been neglecting your duties and this is your punishment for it. Either get executed by my son, or prove to him why you're still useful. Goodbye." he told them all in a condescending tone. He then disappeared like he did from Percy's cabin, and the gods all looked at Zeus for guidance.
"Nobody touch that boy at all. No matter how badly he offends you. If you do, then you'll have doomed us all." Zeus told everyone else.
Back at Camp Half-Blood in Percy's cabin, he and Annabeth were sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Wow. Hell of a spread you've got here." Annabeth told Percy, as she looked around his cabin.
"What can I say? My dad likes to spoil me." Percy told Annabeth. Annabeth looked into Percy's golden eyes with her Stormy Gray ones. The one thing that made Percy fall in love with Annabeth was her eyes, because it made him feel like she was staring into his soul.
"Is there something wrong with my face?" Percy jokingly asked Annabeth. Annabeth started blushing when Percy asked her that question, and a furious blush appeared on her face.
"N-no. It's j-just y-your eyes. They're gorgeous." she admitted in embarrassment. Percy smiled at Annabeth, and lifted her chin with his finger so she was looking at his face again.
"Your eyes have the same effect on me." Percy told her, as he slowly leaned in for a kiss. She also leaned in for a kiss, and they started making out right then and there. It must've been a good five minutes while they were kissing each other, until someone else knocked on Percy's door. They pulled apart from each other with a smile on their face, and Percy opened the door. It was another familiar face that Percy was glad to see.
"Hey Grover, what's up?" Percy asked his friend, while walking back to the couch. Grover closed the door, and sat down on the couch across from Annabeth and Percy, and did the same thing Annabeth did: compliment his cabin.
"Wow. Nice digs man." Grover told Percy with wonder in his eyes. Percy quickly thanked his best friend for the compliment of his cabin.
"What did you need to talk to me about Grover?" Grover once again looked at Percy, and just noticed Annabeth was there.
"Hey Annie. Chiron sent me to tell you to come to the Big House in an hour, Percy." Grover told him. Percy nodded at this, and he figured it would be the perfect time to get rid of Mr. D.
"I'll be there in a half hour. Can you tell him that for me Grover?" Percy asked his best friend. Grover nodded at Percy, and left the cabin, leaving both Annabeth and Percy alone again.
"Where were we?" Percy jokingly asked Annabeth. She immediately started kissing him, as if she was on cue. They continued like that for the next half hour, and at the end of it, they were just looking into each other's eyes.
"I guess that means we're dating now?" he asked her gently. Annabeth laid her head on his chest, and nodded her head.
"When I come back from the Big House, we'll watch movies for the rest of the night. How does that sound?" he asked her. She smiled up at him and nodded once more at Percy. He got up from under her, and went out of the cabin. It took him five minutes to reach the Big House, and another two minutes to get taunted by Mr. D.
"Perry Johnson. You must be the new camper everyone on Olympus is talking about. Don't think you're powerful just because your father is Chaos boy. I can still kill you with a snap of my fingers." Mr. D told Percy. Percy turned around to look at Mr. D, and withdrew his pen from his pocket. His golden eyes glowed as he made his sword appear, and clicked the button on the bottom of the hilt to cover the sword in his father's essence.
"I won't need a Wine God on my new Olympian Council. Enjoy oblivion Dionysus." Percy told the lazy god, before stabbing through his lung with his sword. In a matter of seconds, Dionysus was turned into a pile of golden dust. Up on Olympus, Zeus watched Dionysus' throne crumble to dust.
"The boy really is our judge, jury and executioner. That idiot son of mine met his end through taunting the boy. Who's going to be next?" Zeus thought to himself.
"You wanted to see me Chiron?" Percy asked the centaur upon entering the Big House. The centaur turned around to see Percy, and nodded his head at Percy, but looked quizzically at Percy's sword. Percy forgotten he had it in his hand, and turned it back into a pen before putting it back in his pocket.
"Dionysus didn't take my father's warning to the Olympian Gods seriously, and he just paid the price for it." Percy quickly explained to Chiron. Chiron sighed and shook his head at Dionysus.
"That idiot. He was warned along with all other gods and goddesses not to mess with the Son of Chaos, but the first thing he does is dismiss the warning. That's his mistake. Anyway, I called you here because Zeus issued a quest for you to find his missing Master Bolt. He thinks you're the one who stole it, and is giving you the chance to return it to Olympus on the summer solstice. Since he's personally given you the quest, you must receive the prophecy from the Oracle in the attic. We'll talk more if you come back as sane as you were before you talked to her." Chiron told Percy. Percy nodded at Chiron, and made his way to the attic in the Big House. He already knew what the Oracle was about to tell him, but he played along with it anyway. He went into the attic, looked at all of the war treasures and such, then walked to the mummified body of the Oracle. The body moved and spoke to Percy.
"Welcome demigod. I am the Spirit of Delphi, the speaker of prophecies of Apollo. Have you come to hear the prophecy of your quest?" she asked Percy. He nodded his head at the mummified body of the Oracle, and she continued speaking to him.
"You shall go west, and face the god that has turned, you shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned, you shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend, and you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end." the Oracle told Percy, then went back to her silent state. Percy walked back to Chiron, and recited the prophecy back to the centaur.
"This seems like it's going to take a while, but you have seven days until the summer solstice. Since this is a quest, you're allowed two people to come with you. When you found them, you must all pack tonight, and be ready to leave early tomorrow." Chiron told Percy, who nodded and groaned at the same time. Percy walked back to his cabin, trying to figure out how to tell Annabeth that they were going to have to cancel their movie night to pack for a quest. He opened the door, and was kind of crushed to see that Annabeth and Grover were watching a movie without him.
"You couldn't wait for me to return to watch a movie Annabeth?" he asked her. He then turned to Grover, who he just noticed was there.
"When did you get here Grover?" he asked the Satyr.
"I was heading to the forest, when I heard Annie watching Fast Five, so I just knocked and came in." Grover explained without taking his eyes off of the screen. Annabeth looked at Percy and gave him an innocent smile.
"You were taking forever, so I started without you. Now we can all enjoy the movie together." she told Percy in honesty. Percy walked to the table, grabbed the remote, and paused the movie.
"That's where I have to be the bearer of bad news. I've just gotten a quest straight from Zeus, and I'm taking both of you with me." Percy told them both. Annabeth and Grover looked at Percy in shock, but then Annabeth's look of shock turned into a look of joy.
"This is going to be the first quest I've been on, since I arrived at camp. I cannot wait! When do we leave?" she asked Percy.
"T-t-tomorrow." Percy stuttered in a shocked voice. Annabeth ran out of the cabin, and headed to the Athena cabin to get packed.
"That went way differently then I thought it was going to be." Percy muttered to Grover.
"Annie's been like that since I brought her, Luke and...her and Luke to camp seven years ago. She's always been itching to go on a quest." Grover told Percy in return. Percy knew all of this, but he forgot when he saw Annabeth again.
"Grover, when you finish, come back and you can sleep in one of the guest rooms. It'll be nice having a roommate that I know." Percy told Grover, and Grover nodded his head exuberantly and ran out of the cabin to hurry and get packed. He sighed as he watched Grover head to the woods, and headed to his room to start packing. He looked on his nightstand, and saw the unlimited credit card his dad gave him. It was a sleek black, and had the symbol of Olympus on the upper right hand corner. Percy kept the card where it was, because he was planning to take a shower before they left tomorrow. He'd put it in his pants pocket after he took the said shower, and would be ready to leave. He spent over an hour packing everything that he knew he was going to need. After he finished packing his backpack, Percy went back into the living room and continued watching the Fast Five. He loved all of the action-packed parts, but was a bit annoyed when he had to pause the movie to let Grover in. When he opened the door however, he saw Grover and Annabeth at the door.
"So I guess we're just having a sleepover until the quest tomorrow?" Percy asked Annabeth. Grover walked past Percy, and laid his bag on the side of the couch, and looked at the TV.
"Yes, we are Percy." Annabeth replied tenderly. She kissed him fully on the lips, then copied Grover's actions. Percy closed the cabin door after they got in, and sat down by his girlfriend.
"Now I'm going to need both of you to swear on the River Styx, that you won't tell anyone about everything I have in this cabin. Especially the Hermes cabin and the Aphrodite cabin." Percy told both Annabeth and Grover. Annabeth and Grover looked at Percy in confusion, until they shrugged their shoulders.
"I, Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena, swear on the River Styx that I will not divulge information on what is in this cabin." Annabeth recited.
"I, Grover Underwood, Satyr of Pan, swear on the River Styx, that I will not divulge any information on what is in this cabin." he recited. The sky rumbled outside of the cabin, and Percy smiled, since that signified that the pact was in full effect.
"Why did you have us do that Percy?" Annabeth asked her boyfriend.
"If the kids of Hermes cabin found out about all of the electronics and stuff I have in here, they'll try to steal it. If the kids of Aphrodite cabin found out about my shower, then they'll always be trying to use it." Percy explained to his best friend and girlfriend. Annabeth got up from the couch, and started looking for the bathroom. When she found it and came back to the living room.
"Can I move into this cabin?" she asked curiously. He nodded at her and moved his gaze to Grover.
"I'll just need a few drops of blood from each of you to add to the recognition system. Can't move in, if you can't open the door." he told them both. He went to the kitchen, and grabbed three glasses and poured nectar into each of the glasses.
"Here's to having success on our quest tomorrow." Percy toasted to his friends. They clinked their glasses together, and drank the nectar. They then spent until midnight watching movies, and fell asleep in the living room.
