New Recruits

What's up guys? I'm updating whenever possible and I got a question should I make this Percy x Zoe like FoeHammer or some other pairing? And I know I said I was updating last week but I have a personal life too. Oh and I changed this chapter a lot so I can fit it into the way I want to make it, and finally sorry Foehammer123 if you didn't want me to change it.

Onto the Story!

Percy's POV

The councilors and Hestia said yes, but Artemis and her hunters said no. "We do not work with boys." Artemis said.

"I respect your decision but the offer still stands." I said.

Thalia walks up to the front of the group. "Who is that other assassin? She sounded very familiar."

"She is my newest apprentice." I said

I turned to Zoe and saw her holding her mask, but her hood still hid her face. I got closer to her and whispered in her ear. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

She hesitated. "No I can't. It will be better for them to think I'm dead." Zoe said while putting her mask back on.

I was shocked by her answer but nodded. "Time to go. Everybody follow me." I said opening a portal to HQ. All the new recruits walked through.

"Holy shit." Clarisse said in awe. The HQ was a massive mansion situated in the middle of a beautiful forest. To the north were mountains that had multiple waterfalls on them. To the south and east were multiple rivers, lakes, ponds, and forests. To our west was an ocean with multiple docks on the shore.

"Welcome to the American Headquarters." I said. I saw Ezio and Altair walking towards us. I heard people gasp when they saw those two faces.

"Mentor, are these new recruits?" I nodded and introduced them.

"Will you two train them? I have some matters to attend to." I asked.

"We will Mentor." Altair said then led half of the recruits off somewhere. Ezio took the other half to the arena.

I sighed and went to my room. I removed my armor and placed it on the armor rack. I placed all my weapons on the dresser and laid on my bed, I just stared at the ceiling before falling asleep.

Zoe's POV

I walked through the portal and went to watch Ezio train some of the new recruits. I soon got bored and went to my room i shared with Percy to get some sleep. You're probably wondering why we share a room. The Headquarters was still being renovated to have more rooms so we had to share. I opened the door and saw Percy sleeping in his bed. I took off my armor and set it next to my bed, and then I put my hidden blades under the bed. I was about to fall asleep when I heard Percy yell, "Don't hurt her!"

Who was he dreaming about? I thought.

"Let her go, I'll come with you instead." He said before turning around.

Percy's Dreamscape POV

I was fighting monsters as they rushed the hill, then they retreated down the hill and behind Oceanus.

"Oceanus!" I snarled.

"Do not take that tone with me boy, unless you want this one getting hurt." He said holding up Zoe. Her armor was trashed. She had blood coming out of many places.

"Zoe! What do you want Oceanus?!" I yelled.

"For you to come with me, and quietly to be exact." Oceanus said.

"Fat chance." I replied.

"So be it." Oceanus said gripping on Zoe's leg and twisting it slowly. She screamed on pain as her leg was dislocated.

"Don't hurt her!" I yelled and watched as Oceanus stopped twisting her leg.

"Will you come?" Oceanus asked again.

"Let Zoe go, and I'll come with you." I said. He put Zoe on the ground and I walked over to him. "Leave the camp and Zoe alone."

"We will." Oceanus said.

"Swear on the Styx." I said.

"I swear on the Styx that we will leave everything you said alone." He said as thunder boomed in the sky sealing the deal.

"Let's go." I said letting him cuff me and lead me away with his monsters at his back. I thrust my mind out to find Hestia and Artemis, when I found them I told them to make a shield around the camp and Zoe. They said okay and I withdrew from their minds. I started a chant that will wipe out anything in a two and a half mile area. "You have lived a life full of murder and pain. I call upon the powers of Chaos and the Primordials. I banish you and your monsters to the void!" As I chanted, a bright yellow glow surrounded my body.

"What are you doing boy!" Oceanus yelled.

"Making sure you all don't come back." I said before the yellow glow bursted outwards killing anything it touched. When it stopped I was surrounded by monster dust. I saw Zoe looking at me with worry in her eyes; I just smiled dropping to the ground thinking no more.

Percy's POV (Awake)

I woke up from my nightmare then looked at the other bunk and saw Zoe sleeping. I sighed. Why do I have these feelings for you Zoe? I thought. I got up and wiped the sweat from my brow before putting on some of my armor.

"Percy?" I heard Zoe ask after I put on my blades.

"Yes?"

"I heard you in your sleep. What were you dreaming about?"

"Nothing." I said, besides the fact that I would die for you.

"Don't lie. I heard you say my name."

"Okay fine. Oceanus held you captive, I went with him to make sure you were safe, and then I sacrificed my life to ensure your safety. I just couldn't lose you again." I said not really thinking about what I just said.

"You care about me?" Zoe asked.

(A.N: I'm still deciding if I'm going to make this a Percy/Zoe fan fiction but I probably will.) "I do care about you I just don't know in which way, but I would still put your life ahead of mine if it came to that."

I saw sadness come into Zoe's eyes. I put the rest of my armor on without looking at her. "I think I love you, but I just don't know." I said while putting my swords in their sheaths.

"What do you mean you just don't know?!" Zoe yelled as her sadness was replaced with anger. "It's either you love me or you don't!"

"I just don't know Zoe!" I yelled.

"Well come find me when you figured it out." Zoe stormed out of the room.

Chaos appeared next to me. "Perseus, I have a way of removing Gaea from the war."

"How?" I replied.

"She's in New Orléans, with only three monsters as her security detail." Chaos said.

"When do I move?" I asked.

"Right now." Chaos said opening a portal. I jumped through without hesitation and landed on the roof town hall.

"She's passing below you in thirty seconds. She is wearing blue sunglasses, a white tank top and blue jeans." I heard Chaos say in my mind.

I waited until I saw a person who fitted the description perfectly. I saw the three monsters guarding her. I jumped off the roof and buried my blades into two Cyclopes. I heard laughter and saw Gaea looking at me.

"I thought you were smarter assassin. I never go in a public place with a small security detail like this." Gaea said.

"I know." I said waving my hand in the air. I heard an eagle's cry and saw arrows pierce monsters hidden in the courtyard.

Gaea growled then said, "I'll finish this myself." She formed a celestial bronze sword and charged at me. I pulled out riptide and blocked the sword. I lunged at her and managed to stab her side. She howled in pain as the sword pierced her. I pulled it out and saw that the wound hadn't healed.

"What trickery is this?!" She said while looking at the wound.

"No tricks, just a poison Chaos made." I replied and lunged at her again. She blocked the strike and managed to land a blow on my upper arm. I hissed and lunged at her heart. I felt my blade meet resistance as it hit her skin; I thrust the sword in further and watched as Gaea melted into the Earth.

Before she melted I heard her say, "We are now one."

I started running after I felt a sudden adrenaline rush when Gaea disappeared into the Earth. I saw Chaos up ahead in front of a portal. I jumped through it and blacked out when I felt solid ground.

*3 hours later*

I woke up with a massive headache in a white room. I looked around and noticed that it was the hospital wing. I got up and tried to stand, tried is the keyword. I tripped and crashed to the ground when I tried to move.

Perseus, you can do this. You are strong. Gaea said in my head.

Gaea! What are you doing in my head?! I thought in reply.

Are minds merged when you killed me. Gaea said.

I stood up and managed to move. I opened the door and stumbled through the hallway, I was about halfway to my room when I felt multiple presences reveal themselves. I turned around trying to figure out who they were.

Do not be scared hero, they are the primordials and they wish to merge their minds and powers with you. Gaea said in my head. I nodded to the presences and opened my mind, and then I heard one voice stand out above the others. I am proud to merge my mind with you Perseus. I heard Chaos say in my mind. I felt a sudden pain as every primordial merged their mind with mine. Shit! Not again! I thought before blacking out.

*5 weeks later*

I woke up in a wooden room this time; I looked around and saw Zoe sleeping soundly in a chair nearby holding my hand. I tried to sit up but failed when I felt a massive pain in my head.

Easy now hero, you are still weak from having multiple gods merge with you at the same time. I heard Nyx, the primordial goddess of night, say.

Nyx is right; you are still recuperating after what happened to you. I heard Erebus say.

I sense the Olympians nearing; we must withdraw our thoughts for now. Nyx said. As soon as Nyx had finished fourteen flashes appeared around the room. Zoe woke up when the lights disappeared and looked at me. She hugs me tightly while she cried into my chest. I put my head on her head, resting it on her silky black hair. "Shh. It's alright." I said while stroking her hair.

"I thought you were..." She never finished the sentence because she just burst into more tears.

"I'm here aren't I? Now you need to calm down. The Olympians are here for a reason." I said, tenderly drying her cheeks. She nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Okay. What do you guys want?" I asked, turning to the Olympians.

"We felt a massive spike of primordial energy five weeks ago." Zeus said. Holy shit! I've been asleep for five weeks?! I thought.

I was about to say something when I heard a voice resonate through the room. "Hello Olympians. I am Aether, primordial of Upper Heaven. I will explain the sudden power spike if the others agree." Aether said. I heard every primordial I know voice their consent, then Aether began the long story.
