Congratulations! This story has been pre-selected to be my next focus for a few chapters.
Go on, clap for yourselves, you lucky bastards.
Anyways, I'm surprised about the sheer amount of support this story has even though it is only like 2 chapters in.
Well, then, enjoy yourselves. Also, if anyone has any questions regarding anything at all, feel free to PM me here or on Facebook. My username is the same as here.
Percy then thought of something.
I look too different from my previous appearance. As much as I hate my old life and how so much people betrayed me, I still want a small reconnection to remind myself of how far I've come. Might as well.
Percy wondered how to change his appearance before Chaos intervened.
Just think of what you want to change and it will. Percy did as told and changed his purple eye back to its former sea-green.
Percy grinned. Thanks, dad.
As he left to deal with the remaining few weeks of school, Percy could almost feel the sense of pride that came off of Chaos.
Percy was bored. The rest of the school year passed pretty quickly. Aeneas flunked is exam, while Percy got one of the best scores.
After Percy revealed his knowledge that he was adopted, Sally attempted to reconnect with him.
So of course, they were going to Montauk.
The gout went to the cabin, though Percy immediately placed himself away from the other two.
"Percy, honey, can you please not do this to us?" pleaded Sally.
Percy snorted. "I dunno. Ostracizing me for the majority of my life makes you view others in a different light."
Percy then checked the clock. It wouldn't be long before the Minotaur arrived. He groaned. Even though Chaos fixed his ADHD and dyslexia, he still found life boring without fighting.
He left the cabin while the other two were sleeping and tried out the powers he got from the previous timeline.
As much as he hated Tartarus for all theocrat he had to go though, he was still amazed by his powers. He could practically control madness, and he often visited an asylum to help the patients out. He could also influence lesser monsters (meaning those that he would normally face, like hellhounds, giants, and empousai) to a certain degree, always making sure to ruin Aeneas's day some way or another.
He extended his senses and found a fairly strong aura about 4 miles away, most certainly the Minotaur in all its beefy glory. The others were mostly dryads and nymphs hiding from the Minotaur. He had a while before that bull would try to kill them.
Emphasis on try.
He then tried out the powers he received from Nyx and Erebus. He learned long ago that he could shadow travel and form corporeal objects out of shadows.
As for the powers he got from Chaos, those were the real deal. Although he never had a chance to actually use them all, he was eager to know what edge he had in this timeline.
He sighed. As much as he hated those who had abandoned him, he could not bear to see the people from his past die. Except maybe Aeneas. It was funny, really. Since he wasn't a son of Poseidon anymore, why did he have such strong ties of loyalty?
One thing he was particularly worried about was Annabeth. Suppose he fell for her again. Then what? he would be leaving himself open to heartbreak again, not to mention the Hunt would probably kill him for leaving Zoe.
Zoe...he knew that he loved her, as she was an inspiration to him to continue. But what if something occurred? His heart clenched as he thought of Aeneas stealing Zoe from him. Would she still love him in this timeline?
Although it was difficult to see against the rain, silent tears fell down from his eyes.
Percy walked back to the cabin and checked the clock. It was about three in the morning, and the Minotaur wasn't that far off. the rain was pouring pretty strongly now, signalling to Percy that Grover the idiot would be coming soon.
He sighed, before he went over to the car and started it, anticipating the arrival of the Minotaur. He noticed the figure of Grover running into the cabin and shortly thereafter the three went into the car, where they were surprised (and disappointed, in Aeneas's case) to see Percy already ready to drive.
As soon as they entered the car, Percy floored it, causing Aeneas to crash onto the floor of the car.
"Percy," asked an amazed Sally. 'When did you learn how to drive?"
Percy shrugged. "About 5 seconds ago." He then winced slightly as the memories came back.
Percy could hear the thunder and cursed. He forgot about the fact that Zeus didn't know who he was. Now he had to relive getting struck by lightning.
"Sally," he said in a cold tone. "When I tell you to, I want all of you to jump out of the car."
Sally had a confused look before she realized the gravity of the situation and nodded her head.
Aeneas, however, would do no such thing.
"Are you kidding me?! There is no way in hell that I'm going to do that. I could get hurt!"
Percy chuckled darkly. "Then, be my guest. I am not responsible for you being struck by lightning."
He ignored Aeneas's reply and steered sharply, narrowly missing an oak tree. Seconds later, that tree was blasted to shreds by a lightning bolt.
Percy cursed. He didn't want to reveal his powers so early, not before facing the Minotaur. He then smirked. He had the perfect way to get back at Zeus.
A feeling of foreboding washed over him, and his eyes widened. It was this exact spot that the car was obliterated.
"Get out now!" he roared, and the four tumbled out of the car. Not a moment too soon, as the car was sent flying by something throwing it into the air, which was later destroyed by another bolt of lightning.
"What happened?" asked Aeneas groggily. He then shrieked and pissed his pants at the monster in front of him.
The Minotaur, in all its beefy glory was standing a few meters in front of him, and he glared at Aeneas with beady eyes before charging.
Aeneas cowered and expected to be gored, but was amazed to see that Percy was pushing it back by the horns.
"Go, you idiot!" yelled Percy. "Get past the oak tree!"
Aeneas scrambled to his feet where he found himself in a conundrum: drag Grover and Sally with him and risk his life, or run and make it safely.
He chose the latter.
Percy shook his head. He could not believe that his former brother had such weak loyalty ties. He then tossed teh Minotaur to the side.
The Minotaur, after regaining its bearings stared at Percy warily. The last time a mortal overpowered it, he was killed. So he chose a different target.
Sally.
While Sally tried to steady herself, the Minotaur went over and grabbed her in his heady hand. In a single movement, he crushed her into golden dust.
Percy looked around. Grover and Aeneas had already gone over the boundary. He smirked. Time to play.
He reached into himself and used an element of creation.
Electricity.
Those mortal scientists were quite knowledgeable in terms of their understanding of the process of creation. Electricity was used to generate a spark of life within the primordial soup, enabling Chaos to create other beings by himself until he got help.
He let loose a massive bolt of lightning at the Minotaur, which fired it into oblivion, minus the oblivion part. Percy wanted to play with him later on.
Up on Olympus, numerous gods were smirking, knowing what Percy was doing. In his defense, Zeus was showing less mercy in this timeline.
Hera inwardly smiled. She knew what his plan was.
"You bastard!" yelled Hera. "Fathering another child!"
Zeus panicked. "He's not my child!"
Apollo laughed. "That's a pity. To think, if he was your son, then how would Barnacle Beard live it down?"
Zeus shook his head. "No amount of bragging rights are worth getting smacked around by my wife. You have no idea how painful those slaps can be."
He then looked at Percy. "Does anyone know who he is?"
The other council members looked at each other before coming to a consensus.
"Well, I have to be honest with you, Pops," said Hermes. "All of us except you and Poseidon know who he is."
Zeus gave a look of disbelief and stared at Artemis.
She shrugged. "He's one of the most loyal and just people I know. He's also the only male, as far as I'm concerned, that the Hunters like. I would be surprised if he wasn't a son of Poseidon."
"Liar," muttered Dionysus.
Zeus sighed loudly. "I suppose we'll have to see how this goes. As you all seem to be quite attached to him, I highly doubt he will be a threat to Olympus."
He then glared at Aeneas. "Do you know Poseidon's brat as well?"
Ares scoffed. "Know him? We-" he was shut up by Hermes clamping a hand over his face.
"Yeah, we know him. Not the brightest guy, and a complete dick. But we still can't afford risking war simply because he broke the pact. If I remember, he didn't rage when thalia was born.
Zeus said nothing, before turning over to Percy and gasped.
"Chaos!"
(yeah, sorry for that cliched ending, but I didn't have anything else planned)
Percy looked on the ground and conveniently found a Minotaur horn on the ground. Too bad he couldn't get that axe.
By then the campers arrived, and were wary by his show of power.
Chiron came up, and his eyes widened when he saw Percy. "P-Perseus?"
Percy tilted his head. "Hey, Chiron."
"What was that?"
Percy shrugged. "Just playing around with my dad's powers."
He then looked at the sky. "Yo, dad, can you claim me already?"
A second passed, and then everyone gasped. Percy looked up and saw a solar system sign.
Chiron trembled slightly before kneeling down, long with the rest of the campers.
"All hail, Perseus Jackson, son of the Creator, the Preserver, the Destroyer, the All-powerful, son of Chaos (I know this is a description of Brahma, but I couldn't help it).
Percy frowned. He forgot he had no cabin. He then smirked. Being the son of Chaos didn't have its benefits.
He moved over to a clearing and concentrated on his cabin. He wanted everything he wanted, which wasn't much to be honest. He had a fridge full of food, a queen sized bed, a game room, and a training room.
He then glared at Aeneas.
"Don't even think about entering me cabin, asshole. Until you get claimed, you're stuck with the Hermes cabin.
Aeneas was furious. Not only did Percy get all the attention and the great stuff, he had gotten claimed and a huge cabin.
He was practically forgotten and was quickly explained about the Greek gods before the blonde girl ran out. While Percy got an entire cabin to himself, he was stuck in an overcrowded place.
He tried to break in, but the place was apparently safeguarded, since he was practically electrocuted when he tried to break in.
He was then cornered by three children of Ares.
"Hey, punk, time for your initiation ceremony."
"What about Percy?"
The girl gave a dark grin. "Nah, me and Perc go a long way back. You however..." She didn't finish as she picked him up and headed towards the toilets.
Percy smiled softly. His plan was falling into pieces by now. Soon, the quest would be given and he would be free to wreak havoc on Aeneas.
He then looked at the ground sadly. What if Zoe didn't remember him? What if she hated him?
What would he do then?
And there you go. The first of three chapters for Saved by Creation.
Note, after these three chapters, do not expect an update until my cycle has gone to it.
