Hey guys, I'm back with chapter four. Just for any confusion, HoO hasn't happened... yet. Also in the books, Thalia, Nico and Percy faced Iapetus, or Bob, but in this, it was Jason instead of Thalia. They all just met somehow, I'll think of something later, I think. Enjoy!
Four
The Betrayal
Peace. A word no demigod should ever say, or even think. Peace doesn't come easily for demigods, especially for demigods that their fathers are either Zeus, Poseidon or Hades. Yet here Percy was, on a tree sitting next to Nico di Angelo.
"Dude ask her out already," Nico complained, trying to convince Percy that Annabeth likes him and Nico knows that Percy likes her too but doesn't gave the courage to tell her that.
"You have beaten three Titans, THREE TITANS! Yet, you are scared about asking a girl out, what the fuck?" Nico hardly curses, but when he does, the situation must be terrible.
"I have tried like a gazillion times but we always get interrupted by someone," Percy said while glaring at Nico, "or by something."
"Not my fault that you're a wuss," Nico replied.
"Son of a-" Percy was cut off by Chiron.
"Heroes... the Olympians request your presence." he said sorrowfully. He was also looking sad.
"Umm... ok, so we leave now? Ow!" Percy was slapped in the head by Nico.
"Seriously! Duh Seaweed Brain. You probably do have Seaweed instead of a brain, I swear..." Nico said.
Chiron wore a sad smile. "Yes Perseus-" he never says his full name unless it's very bad, "-the Olympians do request you now."
"Alright, we'll see you later," Percy said.
Chiron nodded sadly, "Argus will take you. He's waiting for you by Thalia's tree."
Percy and Nico nodded. They both walked to where Argus is in silence. When they got there, Argus was in the Camp's van. They got in and they rode to Olympus in silence. They both were thinking the same thing though, what on Earth do the Olympians want from Percy and Nico? When they got there, they went to the guy behind the desk, who was reading a book, with the key. Once they got there the guy gave them the key and said, without looking up,
"Make sure no one is in there when you put it in."
When they got to the entrance of the Throne Room, someone was already waiting there. It was a boy who was roughly fifteen with blond hair and sky blue eyes...
"Hey you're that kid!" Percy exclaimed.
The kid turned around with wide eyes.
"What are you guys doing here? And where have you been?" The kid asked.
"Ever since we fought Iapetus, or Bob I guess, we've been defending Mount Olympus against Kronos. I defeated Kronos myself while Nico defeated Hyperion himself," Percy said proudly.
Jason rose an eyebrow, "Mount Olympus? Where is that... oh my gods I'm an idiot." He put his face in his hands.
Percy and Nico went ballistic. They laughed and laughed and laughed. By the time they stopped, the kid was red with embarrassment.
"I just forgot that I'm on Mount Olympus. By the way, I never introduced myself when we met, I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion, slayer of the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the Black Throne of Saturn, and slayer of Krios. Please to see you again... was it Peter and Nick?" Jason said.
They would gave answered if they heard but both were in shock. Jupiter was Zeus, right? So another child of the Big Three. Thalia's step brother, but, they had the same last name so it's actually Thalia's real brother, but he's a child if Jupiter and she's a child of Zeus, so maybe not but yet again Zeus and Jupiter are the same person. Or maybe one of them got mixed up so maybe their fathers are the same. But Thalia would have mentioned him, right? Percy or Nico didn't know, but the questioned finally registered after three minutes Nico heard it.
"Umm... no i-it's uhh... umm Percy and Nico," Nico said.
"Oh umm okay so-"
Jason was cut off by a voice saying enter.
"Well that's our cue!" Percy said, finally getting over his shock.
So they walked through the Throne Room doors and were almost immediately hit by the gods' power. The doors were immediately shut and locked. Percy looked around, ten if the twelve Olympians were there. Zeus or Poseidon weren't here. The three kneeled by the Queen of the gods.
"Heroes," Hera said mockingly. "The council has decided that you are too powerful, even for sons of the Big Three, to live. The council has decided that you may overthrow us if you were all mad at us and worked together. For that reason, the council gas decided, for you loyalty to Rome and Olympus, mustn't waver, so, Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, must die."
The word die seemed to echo through their heads. They were shocked, how could they think like that, that they, who defended them, would betray them?
"WHAT?!" the three said in unison.
"NO QUESTIONS! YOU WILL DIE YOU DISGRACEFUL DEMIGODS!" Hera roared at them. "Chain them Ares, now!"
Ares went up to them and with a flick of his hand, chains wrapped around their wrists and ankles. Then one absolute beautiful peacock seemed to come out of the wall and land on Hera's arm. Percy noticed that it had one heck if a sharp beak. Hera started to stroke the peacock.
"Now this is my sacred animal, the peacock. This beautiful peacock will rip your throats out and before you know it, your dead. So goodbye." Hera said.
The peacock charged. Right before is struck, the doors shook with much power, as if someone is trying to barge in. But It was too late. Percy watched in horror as Nico's throat was ripped out. Then it moved on to Jason, same thing. Then it moved to Percy. The doors burst open. The ground shook, lightning struck, zombies were raised, but it was too late. The peacock struck Percy, and he felt pain in his throat but it quickly disappeared when the darkness claimed him.
I'm sorry Annabeth.
