The Destroyer of Olympus

Previously

The man sighed, "Way to ruin the fun Bianca…" That was all the proof I needed before I launched myself into a hug with the two of them, not believing my luck. I mean, what are the odds of finding the two people you're looking for, within fifteen minutes, in the Greek definition of Hell? One in like, three… maybe. Math was never my strong point. "OI! NICO! I'm happy to see you too, but you're cracking me and my girlfriends' ribs." He gasped out.

I pulled back and looked at the two of them in shock; they both lowered their hoods to reveal the blushing forms of my sister, Bianca Di Angelo, and the man I thought of as a brother, Percy Jackson.

Now

Percy PoV

You may be thinking, way to go, Percy, you let it slip to Nico that you and Bianca are dating. Well, in all honesty, I meant to do that… kinda. I figured it'd be best to get it out in the open before anything else happens. Sure, it wasn't the smartest way to say it, but it still worked. The only thing that bothered me was Nico's lack of a response. He just stood there, open-mouthed and bug-eyed. I decided that the silence was too awkward already, so I decided to break it. "Nico, close your mouth or you'll let in flies." I said sheepishly.

Nico just continued staring at Bianca and I, before he finally closed his mouth.

Bianca PoV

Way to go, Percy. You broke my brother, were the thoughts going through my head. I mean, how stupid can a person be, to just up and say, "Oi, you're crushing my girlfriend and I," to said girlfriend's brother, who didn't know anything going on between the two of us. To say I was shocked when Nico didn't immediately try to punch Percy in the face, is a huge understatement. I know that I'm the older sibling, but Nico was always overprotective of me.

Then I heard my genius boyfriend open his mouth again, saying, "Nico, close your mouth or you'll let in flies." At that, I had to resist the urge to face palm due to the idiocy of the man I love. I won't deny it, I love Perseus Achilles Jackson, but damn he can be so stupid at times. After a couple moments, my brother finally closed his mouth, studying the both of us with suspicious eyes.

Nico PoV

Ok, so you know how I said that I wouldn't mind it if Percy dated my sister, I changed my mind. I mean, it's so not cool to just up and date your best friend's — nay — brother's sister. I mean that's just wrong. It could be considered incest or something. However, based on the flushed looks on my sister's and Percy's faces, they seem like they really care for each other. So while I won't openly oppose them dating while in front of my sister, that will not stop me from yelling at Percy when Bianca's not around.

"Nico, close your mouth or you'll let in flies." Percy said sheepishly. It took me a minute to process just what he had said, but once I figured it out, I followed his advice. Although, I'm pretty sure that there aren't any flies in Tartarus.

After another awkward silence, I finally cleared my throat, "So, uh, you two are dating, huh?" I asked eager to keep the damned awkward silence away this time. "Um, when did that happen?"

"Around fifteen years ago, when I asked Bianca if she wanted to join me in fulfilling my oath against Olympus." Percy responded. Bianca's helping Percy get revenge? I wonder why.

"And to answer your first question, yes, we are dating; do you have a problem with that?" Bianca growled menacingly at me.

"N-no, o-of c-course n-n-not." I stuttered in response, fearing my sister's wrath.

"Good," she smiled, "now, Percy, isn't there something that you wanted to ask Nico here, something to do with revenge?" She hinted to him, elbowing him in the ribs, forcing him to answer the question.

"Uh, no?" he finished.

Bianca just sighed and spoke again, this time for him, "What he meant to say was, 'why yes Bianca, there is. I was wondering if you'd like to join us in getting revenge against Olympus,' isn't that right, honey?" She smiled sweetly at Percy.

"O-oh, y-yeah. So, what do you say, Nico, do you want to join us?" Percy said quickly.

I thought for a few minutes before finally answering the question that was still hanging in the air, making it heavy with anticipation. "Um, well, are Hestia and my dad gonna be spared from your revenge?" I finally asked.

"Wha? Oh yeah, I had no intention of getting revenge on either of them, seeing as they are the only two who defended me. Everyone else accused me, including yourself," Bianca elbowed his ribs, again, "but, I'm over that, of course." He finished with his trademark crooked grin.

"Oh, cool. The main reason I came down here was so I could beg for your forgiveness, but seeing as my sister holds so much power over you, I don't need to beg now," I finished, smiling.

Percy frowned, "Now, go back to the Underworld and bring Hades and Aunt Hestia here, I swear on the Styx they will not be harmed. A new war is comin', Nico, I just need to make sure that they'll stay neutral in the war. They don't have to join us, but we can't have them going and joining the Olympians." Once he finished, his eyes glazed over for a few seconds, before coming back to reality. "Well, that's all the time we have for now, our Masters need us. So, once they are willing to come down here, if they are, we'll meet you right at the entrance of Tartarus." He finished.

"Ok… wait! Who are these 'Masters' of yours?" I added as they started to walk away.

"Oh, our Masters? Well, they're the Primordials; Nyx, Erebus, Tartarus, and Gaia, to be exact." He finished before shadow travelling him and my sister away, leaving me open-mouthed at the new information. I quickly pulled the shadows towards me, eager to tell Hestia and my father about what I have learned.

(Line Break)

I re-emerged from the shadows right outside my father's palace. I briskly walked inside paying little heed to the curious eyes of Cerberus and the Furies. I pulled open the Stygian Iron doors, revealing the throne room of the palace. Sitting on the thrones were my father and my step mother, shortly after Percy's banishment, Persephone and I set aside our differences and now love each other like a family should. Sitting on the ground poking the flames of the hearth was my Aunt Hestia, in her eight year old form, as always. After I opened the doors, all eyes turned on me, showing me three very relieved Gods and Goddesses.

"Oh, good, you're safe Nico. Well, that's a relief." My dad said glumly. Same as always, I thought as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, dad, and guess what?"

"You got a girlfriend?" Persephone asked happily.

"Persephone, be more realistic. Besides, think about it. He was in Tartarus. He wasn't at a dance or night club or anything like that." Hades replied sarcastically, earning a glare from his wife. "Anyways," he continued, "what news do you have, son?"

"Well, for starters, I found Percy and Bianca."

"WHAT?!" My father exploded. He had been worried sick about Bianca after she had disappeared, even going so far as to yelling at the River Lethe's deity, asking if Bianca had wiped her memories recently.

"Well, as I said, I found Percy and Bianca, and, apparently, they're dating." I finished slowly.

This caused my father do a spit take with the water he was drinking, making Persephone, Hestia, and I crack up. "WHAT? She's too young to date! I won't allow her to date a spawn of my brother's, anyways!" He shouted, quickly sobering up Persephone, Hestia, and I, making us glare at him.

"He's no son of that worthless sea god, Poseidon made that plenty clear!" Persephone snapped back, in an icy tone, causing Hades, yes, Hades, the God of the Underworld, to flinch.

"U-umh, that's not what I meant?" He said quickly, making it sound more like a question than a statement. Persephone's only response was her continuous glare. "Sorry," Hades grumbled under his breath, making his queen nod in satisfaction. "Well, how are they, are they safe?" He finally asked, breaking the silence that had been enveloping us.

"Uh, yeah, they're really safe; in fact, it seems the monsters serve them, now. Apparently, Percy is now the Champion of four Primordial gods, Erebus, Tartarus, Nyx, and Gaia, to name them." I finished.

That caused the three other immortals to gasp, leaving their eyes wide open in fear. "Don't worry," I added quickly, "he said that he doesn't hold anything against any of us."

The God and Goddesses calmed a little at my proclamation, causing them to get a curious look in their eyes. "What do you mean by, 'he said that he doesn't hold anything against any of us'?" My father questioned.

My response was immediate, "Well, he plans on waging war against Olympus," again causing gasps, "but, he wants us to be his allies, or in the very least, stay neutral in the coming war. In fact, he wants us to meet him at the entrance of Tartarus whenever we come up with our decision."

"Wait, so he wants us to join him?" Hades asked incredulously.

"Yeah, pretty much, he says that he has nothing against us and that he would rather not have to fight us, because you and Aunt Hestia were the only two to defend him when he was banished." I stopped for a second, before adding, "Personally, I think you and Aunt Hestia should stay neutral, while I join them. I have to make it up to Perce for betraying him like I did. I think we'll be discussing the conditions and such at the entrance of the Pit with him and Bianca."

Hades and Hestia looked thoughtful for a moment before looking at each other and nodding, "Very well," my dad finally said. "We will meet Perseus and Bianca and discuss the terms of our staying neutral in the coming war. Seeing as he swore that he would get revenge, there is no point in trying to talk him out of it. Besides, he needs to do this. Zeus and the Olympians have been arrogant for far too long. It is time for a change. We will leave for the entrance of the Pit in an hour."

"Ok, father." I responded, before walking toward my room.

Meanwhile

Percy PoV

Bianca and I re-appeared in the throne room of Lord Tartarus' palace, showing us our four Primordial Masters.

"Master," Bianca and I said in unison as we bowed to the four immortals.

"Rise." Tartarus boomed. Once we stood, he continued, "It is a good thing that you gave them that offer, let's see if they take it. If they do, then you getting revenge will be all the easier. It is our belief that they will accept. However, we also believe, that they will choose to stay neutral, as they have nothing to gain or lose from this upcoming war."

I nodded, "That is what we believed as well, but getting them to stay neutral is still a really good thing, because it means avoiding war with the two eldest children of Kronos and Rhea, also the two most powerful children of the Titans'. I just hope they don't side with the Olympians…"

"Yes, those two would indeed be a problem if they side with those pesky Olympians." Nyx added, in her usual soothing voice. "Lucky for us, well, more so you, they will more than likely remain neutral. Anyways, we have decided that we will declare war and activate our plan in three months time. That way, our armies can get more training. Not that they'll need it," she finished, smirking. "Now, about your little request…"
