Why hello, my loyal readers, It's a pleasure bringing you this chapter, but first, some talking is needed here. Now, I have been asked a lot of questions about Apollo's words in the last chapter, now, let me make this very clear. I am one for plot twists and cliffhangers. If I don't give you sufficiƫnt information in a chapter to jump to a conclusion, consider it a cliffhanger of some sort. I am not going into detail about anything if I don't want to, if I explained everything, this story would be boring as hell. So, if I don't give you much information, you can either sit there guessing, or you can wait for the next chapter. Just wanted to make that clear. Let us read!

Nobody POV (A/N I will be using this 3rd person POV alot for the first few chapters, it makes it so much easier to write the beginnings of a storyline.)

One by one The Olympians gathered in The Throne Room, each one shuffling about nervously, they could feel tension among many of the gods, and nobody really knew why, nobody but Apollo and his followers, who were planning on overthrowing Zeus and usurping his throne. To the rest of the attendants of the Winter Solstice Meeting, this just looked like an ordinary meeting, where ordinary things were discussed, oh how little they knew. Everyone sat down in their throne, Artemis quickly flashed in with a bleeding face, and looked outraged. Zeus didn't seem to notice his daughter's blood stained face.

"Let the meeting begin!" Zeus yelled loudly for extra, dramatic effect. Hades flashed in, since it was Winter Solstice, he was also allowed to attend the meeting.

"You're late, Hades." Zeus said coldly. Hades glared at him.

"Shut up, little brother." He snapped, Hades' dark mood was only a mask, hiding his true nervousness. He knew very well what was going to happen, after all, he supported Apollo's movement. It had been his idea to put their plan into action this Winter Solstice Meeting, and he hoped it would work. Artemis was awfully quiet, which suprised Zeus, and then he noticed her bloody face.

"Artemis? Who did that to you?" Zeus asked confused why there was no jackelope next to her, waiting to be dissected for punching the Goddess of The Hunt.

"I think my dear brother can answer that, after all, he has a major scheme to set in motion, right Apollo?" Artemis asked, seemingly glad she could bring her brother's plan to light. Apollo, however, had anticipated this, and realized this was the pefect time to tell Zeus what was exactly going on behind his back. Apollo knew he could count on the support of Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes and Poseidon. Apollo smiled, he had been able to sway two of the Big Three to his cause.

"Well, Apollo, what do you have to say?" Zeus asked, confused about the talk of some grand scheme.

"Yes, Father, I believe what I have to say is of great importance to Olympus." Apollo said darkly, Zeus gestured for him to continue.

"I have been thinking about recent events, especially about that demititan." Apollo said, Zeus looked even more confused now.

"Have you made a plan to catch him, and bring him to justice?" Zeus asked, looking at Apollo approvingly.

"Actually, I believe the demititan has done nothing wrong, no, Father, my plan does not involve bringing the demititan here to Olympus to die by your Master Bolt." Apollo said, anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

"What do you mean? His mother is Mnemosyne! Of course he has to be killed, can't have a demititan running around freely! What does your plan involve then?" Zeus asked, eyeing Apollo suspiciously. He suspected there was something wrong.

"Too late now, Zeus." Apollo thought, mentally laughing at Zeus.

"My plan, Father, is too wrong your evil deeds, prepare for justice yourself." Apollo said, suddenly, Hades, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes and Poseidon all drew their weapons and pointed them towards the nearest Olympian that they knew supported Zeus, Hades and Poseidon raised their weapons against Zeus however. Even Hestia stepped out of the hearth and drew a flaming sword that nobody had ever seen.

"What is this outrage?! You are my son! You should follow my orders, not rebel against me!" Zeus snarled at Apollo, who regarded his father calmly.

"You're wrong again, I am no longer your son, I used to wear the title of Son of Zeus proudly, until I realized the horrors you inflicted upon the helpless and innocent. You are a monster, not my father." Apollo said pained.

"Go to Tartarus!" Zeus shouted in his son's face. Apollo just kept his calm gaze.

"No, to Tartarus with you." Apollo said calmly in the face of his former father. Suddenly, Artemis knocked Demeter's staff away, which was pointed at her face, and drew her hunting knives, she wasted no time in charging at Apollo. Apollo had barely enough time to block her first strike with his sword. He looked at his sister with the same pained expression he used when adressing Zeus.

"You could've joined us, you know." Apollo told his sister, Artemis narrowed her eyes.

"I would never join you in anything, you were always the weaker of us two, you were never good for anything!" Artemis snarled.

"Why, Artemis? Why did you always treat me like trash? What did I ever do wrong? Even if I was the weaker of the two of us, a normal sister would've helped me grow strong. Instead, you always picked on me, you didn't help me, you only made my life as bad as you could, why?" Apollo asked his sister angrily.

"Because, I could see you were never going to rise to do something great. Why waste my time on a worhtless brother like you?" She snarled, she was only saying this to make Apollo waver in his defence. The truth was, she always picked on him because she didn't want him to be as strong as her, she always wanted to have the spotlight, it was her fatal flaw, arrogance. And to reach the spotlight, she had to neutralize any competition, including her own brother, even though it pained her to do so.

"I know that's not the truth, I can sense you're lying! But why waste your time on a worthless brother, right? Well, you said I would never rise to do something great? Well, look around you, Olympus itself will fall before me and the other gods who have seen the truth! Is that not great enough for you, sister?" Apollo hissed. Artemis' anger flared, she started pushing Apollo back a bit, but Apollo quickly recovered. Suddenly, without any warning, Apollo jumped back, ending the endless stalemate of blades. However, his sudden movement caught Artemis by surprise, she stumbled forward, only a little bit, but that was all Apollo needed. He gave her a quick kick in the stomach, and then a roundhouse kick in her already bloodied face. Artemis stumbled backwards and tripped over Demeter's staff that she had kicked out the goddess' hands. She fell on her back and hit her head on the throne, she tried to stand up, but her body hurt all over.

"I'm sorry sister, I never wanted to hurt you, but you gave me no choice." Apollo said sadly. Even though he despised his sister at times, he still loved her as a brother, and that made it incredibly hard for him to hurt her like this. He hated himself for it, he was going to need to be ruthless if he was to overthrow his father, but he just couldn't be ruthless against his own family. However, he had a job to do, so he put his feelings aside for now. He turned to Zeus.

"So, Father, what do you think? Have you seen the truth? We will no longer idly stand by while you destroy the world in your paranoia." Apollo said coldly to Zeus. Zeus seemed outraged by this all.

"I thought you as my son! How could you do this to me?!" Zeus yelled. For a second, Apollo's face seemed indecisive, like he didn't know what to do. Then, his face turned cold, he had made up his mind.

"You never really looked at me as your son, sure, at times you would call me son, but usually it was Apollo to you. I could never confide in you. You always looked at Artemis for help, and praised her to Elysium, I was left in the background, you ignored me half of the time!" Apollo snarled at Zeus. Zeus just looked at his son in disbelief, had he really ignored Apollo? Slowly, realization dawned on Zeus, he had turned his own son, and half his family, against him.

"I'm sorry, for everything." Zeus said softly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry too, but that just doesn't cut it. Your throne is no longer safe, dad, although it pains me to do so, I could no longer watch as you ordered an innocent father of a child to be killed in cold blood, just because he fell in love with someone greater in power than us. He can't help who his mother is, yet he lost his father because of it." Apollo said, all the gods could tell it was really hard for him to do this, but he also seemed to radiate a certain determination, like even The Fates couldn't change what he was about to do.

"Again, I'm sorry, but somebody had to do this." Apollo said, casting one last look at his sister and father, before he flashed out. Closely followed by Hermes, Hephaestus, Demeter and Hestia. Only Poseidon and Hades remained behind. They both looked at their younger brother.

"Well, brother, I had promised revenge once, after you killed Maria, my love, and now, it seems judgement has finally arrived." Hades said with mixed emotions, he seemed sad, but pleased at the same time. The Olympians were never a tight family, but this was an entirely new thing. Never before had half of The Olympians suddenly turned on the other half. Olympus itself seemed to be torn between the two sides. And this could only result in war.

"You kill our children, our beloved children, but you sire dozens yourself, and threaten us if we say anything. This is tyranny, and it must end, and this is the only way, even though it is regretful." Poseidon said sadly, with an almost vacant look in his eyes. After they had said this, they flashed away, leaving the rest of The Olympians gawking.

"What do we do, Father?" Artemis asked, she had been able to stand up, barely though, she leaned heavily on her throne.

"They want war, they'll get it! Put Camp Half-Blood into war mode, tell Chiron the situation, but tell him that the others defected to The Titan's side in the coming war." Zeus said, with this new rebellion, the gods had almost forgotten the fact that Kronos was rising again. (A/N In that aspect, I'll follow the books.)

"Yes Father, I'll go tell Camp Half-Blood immediatly." Artemis said, and flashed to Camp Half-Blood.

"Delivering such a message in a wounded state, what must the campers think went on up here?" Zeus mused in himself. Throughout the entire confrontation, Hera had been surprisingly silent, she decided she didn't like not talking.

"Husband, can I talk to you in private?" Hera asked Zeus. Zeus looked mildly surprised, but nodded. Hera wasn't usually one to keep her thoughts contained in a private talk. Zeus followed her out of The Throne Room. They stopped a fair way down the hallway, once they had made sure there was nobody near, Hera started talking.

"Maybe we should consider gaining help from other sources than Camp Half-Blood, maybe we could strike a deal with old enemies, promise them land and riches, and then when we finished off Apollo and his upstart rebels, we could get rid of our 'helpers'." Hera said, At first, Zeus didn't get what she was implying, then, suddenly, his eyes widened in realization. Hera nodded.

"You mean getting help from The Titans?" Zeus asked in disbelief, even he had considered that over the line, and he was pretty rash with decision making.

"It's the only way, The Underworld and The Sea both posses massive armies, we need help, we can't beat them alone." Hera said seriously. Zeus seemed to think about this for a while.

"But, how can we sway The Titans to our cause?" Zeus asked, extra quiet, so nobody could hear. Hera smirked.

"Leave that one to me." She said, smiling, Zeus was a little creeped out by the smile, but nodded nonetheless.

"Very well, if you can influence them to our side, we would have superior numbers, but, how do we get rid of them once we have killed the rebels?" Zeus said, purposefully not mentioning the names of the rebels, as he was still in self-loathing for turning his own son against him. Even though Zeus didn't show it, he did care for his family, just not enough as himself. Which came to bite him in the ass now.

"I don't know, I'll think of something, though." Hera said.

"Fine, go make your offer, and return quickly please, we need to plan our defense well." Zeus said, for once saying something reasonable. Hera nodded and flashed away.

"Fuck, this is a bad plan, but it's all we got." Zeus thought, worrying about how they were going to keep The Titans in check.

There we go! Another chapter as requested, sorry for the shortness of it, I am on a tight schedule here. Anyways, I have decided that I will let the pairing be Nyx, as that will fit with my planned storyline, so all of those who hoped for Hestia or Bianca, sorry to dissapoint you! I can't tell you yet why I chose Nyx as the pairing, but it will be clear in time, and besides, there are certainly not many Percy - Nyx FanFics, which is good, cause I like to be unique in a way. So, review please, you have all shown me SO much support for this story, much more than my other one, which is a bit surprising, but whatever.
