A/N: Hey People. Bhaghandi here and here is the second chapter of The Primordial War. So more planning in this chapter, but from Percy's side. Also there is a line from Star Wars Episode III in here. See if you can find it. Also (again) there'll be no 'good guys' and no 'bad guys'. Just two sides fighting for what they believe is right. So planning this Chapter and some juicy battle scenes next Chapter.

EDIT: I edited this one too, just some tidying. Yep. More self-criticism.

Disclaimer (I forgot last time): I do not own Percy Jackson.

Let's get into it!

Chapter 2: Warzone

Percy's POV (It will be for every chapter Percy's in as it confuses me when chapters go from one POV to another.)

I was looking out of my window, glaring at the New York skyline as if to set it alight.

''Percy,'' Mum called me, ''Breakfast's ready.'' I grinned at the thought of blue cookies. I had missed them so much during my time on the front lines, and now I was on holiday, I was going make up for lost time.

''Morning mum'' I gave her a hug. ''Sleep well?''

''What's bothering you?'' She had a knack for this. Rooting out my inner emotions.

''Annabeth'' I replied flatly.

''You'll find her'' She seemed so hopeful I would find her, I couldn't let her down.

''Knowing her she probably got lost in a library'' I had to joke, or else I would cry.

''Anyway, cookie?'' That did it. I was eating them by the dozen. Luckily Hestia must've helped her because they were infinite. ''So what's the plan?'' She had to know her baby was safe. Ha, me and safe. Good one.

''I'm going to the Party Ponies today. Then I'm heading back to Greece.'' I hated telling her this. ''With or without Annabeth.''

''I'm coming with you.'' I knew she'd say this. ''I can protect you.''

''You need to stay here with Paul.'' She had gotten engaged while I was away.

''He can manage a week or two.'' The man himself then walked in. His salt and pepper hair was now too salty and he had a nightgown saying Big Fudge on it. ''Who can manage what for-'' He tried to stifle a yawn '' A week or two?''

''Tell mum she can't come with me.''

''Sally, we spoke about this. He's not your baby anymore'' He said the as kindly as it could be said.

My mum then broke down. ''NO! I WILL NOT HAVE MY BABY GO TO WAR WITHOUT ME! HE NEEDS ME! I NEED HIM!'' She threw a vase at Paul who ducked.

''Sally, calm down!'' Paul tried valiantly to calm her.

''I. WILL. NOT! WE NEED HIM. THE WORLD NEEDS HIM. WHAT HAPPENS IF HE DIES!''

''Percy, are you ready to leave?'' Paul asked while dodging a mug.

''Yes!'' I yelped due to the biscuit tin coming towards me.

''Then go!'' I took a fleeting glance at mum who was ripping into some Lucky Charms. I then grabbed my backpack, saddlebag and bolted out the door. ''I'll IM you when I get to Greece!'' With that I left for Olympus.

Zeus looked infuriated. Artemis was glaring at Aphrodite, Apollo was trying to pick up Athena and Ares threw stuff at Hephaestus. The others were caught up in their own business. Only Poseidon, Hestia and Hades gave the hooded man standing in the middle of the room any attention. A normal day on Olympus. ''ENOUGH!'' Zeus bellowed. ''Let us hear this man out.'' He nodded at the man

''Your war with Gaia is going dreadfully.'' There were disgusted looks at this and Zeus opened his mouth to speak. ''Don't deny it. You have only just beaten back her forces. And your chief strategist has gone missing. What does that say about Olympus? It shows you are getting weaker. Your age has not brought you wisdom, it has taken it. You need flesh blood. You need to have an army that will last one thousand years. You need a brilliant strategist in the short term and a great leader in the long term. I, am both.''

''Who are you?' Artemis looked worried.

The man put on a raspy voice. ''I'm Batman!'' There were confused glances at this. ''Seriously? Fine then.'' He lowered his hood and the piercing eyes of Orion looked at them. ''I am Orion, and I am willing to help you win the war with Gaia, free of charge.'' Needless to say Artemis let a powerful wave of anger flood out of her at this.

''No. You hurt my little girl. So no. We refuse.'' Zeus looked, well, godlike. But as in the: I will smite you and every puny mortal because I can god. Orion looked dismayed.

''My lord, with all due respect, you are very wrong in denying my services. Also Artemis shot me. She hurt me, not the other way round''

Artemis' wrath had been incurred. ''Look male, I overlooked your mistakes last time and agreed to you being brought back. However, I do not take kindly to being called a murderer. So leave before you are turned into a jackalope.'' There was actually applause from this.

''Go now before I relieve you of your pretty head.'' Hera called to him. More applause. This time it was deafening. Only Poseidon, Hades, Demeter and Hestia remained silent.

''So this is how liberty dies.'' Orion said under his breath. ''To thunderous applause.'' At this, his tears fell.

I heard clapping and went into the throne room to see a man come the other way, with angry tears coming from his eyes. Puzzled, I turned to Zeus.

''My lord, I would like to return to the front.'' Zeus wiped a tear of laughter from his eye and studied my face. So did my father.

''Perce, what's wrong.'' Considering lying, I decided against it. So I told them what happened this morning.

''But it won't affect you decision to leave for the front?'' Athena asked. I shook my head. ''Good. You will be teleported in twenty minutes.''

Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. It all seemed so real. I would fight Gaia. I would either save Olympus or condemn the world. Seven billion people now looked to me, whether they knew it or not.

''Percy?'' Hestia could sense my worry. ''It's gonna be OK.'' I then believed her. She was that hopeful. I loved her for it and it was this hopefulness that I saw when I said she should be an Olympian. But I started overthinking it. What if it wouldn't be OK? What if my friends abandoned me at the last minute? What if the Seven became Six or worse? What if…

''Percy, are you ready?'' Athena was barely containing her excitement over my fight.

''Yes Lady Athena, I am ready.''

''I will send another emissary to the Party Ponies

''Thank you my liege. And please do your best to find Annabeth.''

''I promise.''

And with that the Olympians' throne room turned into a warzone.

I studied where we had setup camp. It was at the edge of a forest and Mount Olympus cast a shadow over it. Yep, the Mount Olympus. The camp itself was shaped like the letter phi. We had been assimilated into Roman culture, and had barracks instead of cabins. But they were named after gods of war like Ares, Bellona and Nike. The barracks were the nearest buildings to the forest. Near the barracks was the dining pavilion, which was identical to the one at home. Two buildings flanked the pavilion. To the left was the storehouse, where we kept weapons, loot and food and to the right of the pavilion was the baths. In the middle were the Senate building and Praetor house. At the back of the camp was the training ground, where the climbing wall and Fields of Mars were kept. Around the middle of the phi shape were the temples to the gods.

I started looking for the Seven when:

''PERCY!'' Piper came barreling into me. It was like one of Tyson's hugs, but this was more… female. I hugged her back and looked for the others. Frank and Hazel were near Chiron at the storehouse. Jason was flying Nico to the Fields of Mars to meet Hannibal the War Elephant. Leo was leading some Hermes kids to prank Reyna. But there was someone missing. Annabeth. Just thinking about her made my heart ache.

''Percy, she'll be OK,'' Piper somehow knew what I was thinking.

''How did you kn-''

''Daughter of Love. I pick up on emotions.''

''That must suck.''

''Yeah.''

''How's it been here?'' I had to move the conversation away from Annabeth.

''Same old war. But it's weird. The raids have been less frequent and the monsters slightly weaker. It's like they've given up. I think it's a trap. It's just too easy.'' She looked around, daring something to go wrong.

''Don't say that. Something bad always happens.'' I was scared. It didn't usually take this long for everything to go to hell.

We waited for about two minutes, decided nothing was wrong and resumed.

''Told you. Too easy.''

'' It does seem suspicious. Maybe we've already won and we will get some peace. Or maybe they knew that-'' I was interrupted by an annoyingly funny son of Hephaestus

''Awesome Leo would come and kick there asses.''

''Thanks Leo.'' Piper said. She then smacked him upside the head.

''OWW! That hurt, Beauty Queen.''

''You love me really, Mr. Spock''

''I AM NOT A VULCAN!''

I slipped off as Piper opened her mouth to reply, heading towards Clarisse to get an assessment of our campers.

''Clarisse, hey!''

I'm not gonna lie, she looked good. She wore her hair in a loose ponytail that hung over her shoulder and Spartan armor. Lamer was strapped to her back.

''Hey Prissy. I assume you want to skip the pleasantries and find out what we have and what we're against.''

''That would be nice.''

''Great. We have 500 Greeks here and 300 Romans. All of us have enough ambrosia and nectar to feed Olympus. We have three spare sets of armor each. Weaponry wise, we have a spear, sword, shield and bow each as well as our preferred weapon. The Romans'' She said this like a curse'' have a standardized kit. Don't ask me what it is because I don't know and don't want to know. Now do you need to know anything else or can I finalize our attack plan?''

''No, that was good. Thanks.'' I started to run, knowing what would come next. ''You're a good soldier G.I. Jane!'' That set her off.

''PRISSY! I'M GONNA IMPALE YOU WERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!''

Laughing, I ran away, intending to speak with Nico and then Chiron. Doing my best taxicab whistle as I ran, I leapt into the air knowing I was now safe. But I was so, so wrong. It was Bruiser, Clarisse's Pegasus. He turned me around to her and I almost pooped myself. We began our descent to my doom. Landing, Clarisse charged me, which I spun away from. I gathered myself and took off my Praetor cloak and acted like a bullfighter with Clarisse as the bull. A very angry bull. With a spear. She charged again and I spun again but she pre-empted this and spun with me. We tussled, rolling over each other until she ended up on top of my, straddling my lap.

''Tough luck Prissy.''

''You got me.''

''Now, about that impaling.'' I gulped. Closing my eyes I waited, until I realized Piper was running towards us.

''Percy! I didn't get off free when I said it was gonna be easy!''

That was when the war drums started to bang.

A/N: Well, that was mostly a filler chapter, but I enjoyed writing it. So, battles and fight scenes next chapter. Also I decided to change it from Perlia to make it Percy x Clarisse, as there aren't that many of that kind out there. I am also retracting my statement from last time about reviews, as I only got two last time and one was from my mum (Facepalm) and review if you found the Star Wars reference! So please review and I hoped you liked reading that chapter. Thank you and Bhaghandi Out! (Still trying to think of a good exit line)
