Deception

A/N: You guys wanna know how I get pumped to write these chapters?...no? Well I'll tell you anyway. I listen to Kid Cudi. You should check him out his beats are really laid back and awesome. Okay well enough of my fanboying GET TO THE CHOPPA. (Chapta:p) You're awesome if you get the reference. If you don't well you're still awesome.

Percy shadow traveled to the Big House back at Camp Half-Blood he walked along the hallway he teleported to and was greeted with a wheel chair running over his foot. The rider of the chair looked to see a young demigod looking at him with his brow raised.

"OH Gods! Perc-"

"Shh Chiron. Don't you know I'm not supposed to be here." This time it was Chiron's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"Well the gods kind of killed me...erm I guess thought they killed me."

"Why do the gods think they killed you? Percy what's going on?" Chiron said in a much more hushed tone.

"A new war is a-brewing Chiron. This war will single handedly change the face of the world, the face of humanity."

"What?!"

"Shhh!"

"A new war?!" Chiron whisper-yelled.

"Yeah it's kind of my fault." Percy said tearing up but feeling the anger in him rising.

"What do you mean?"

"I uh..."

"Out with it boy-o"

"I killed two demigods." Chiron looked shocked but quickly gained his composure. "Not just two demigods but..." Percy said his lip shaking now. "Thal-ia and Annabeth." His voice cracked.

"Oh Gods, Percy! Why?"

"Mmph it wasn't my fault Chiron! I swear it."

"...Who was it then?" Chiron asked.

"Lycaon." Percy spat.

"The Lycaon? The one from ancient times?" Percy nodded his head.

"Then why were you held responsible?"

"Because he used me as a host, but then Hades came and said that Lycaon needed to be removed from me, so he removed him from me. Then I got sentenced to 5 years in Tarturas after Zeus removed my titles as Hero of Olympus, Savior of Olympus and as a hero in general. So I pulled out riptide to lay it down but Athena, Artemis and Zeus decided to smite me. Luckily Hades saved my hide again and removed me from the throne room and I reappeared in his Underworld throne room where I learned that Hades and my father had declared war on Zeus." Chiron's face paled.

"Percy, do you know what happened the last time something like that happened?" Percy paused

"...No, what happened?"

"Well last time, World War II happened." Percy felt his stomach churning.

"Oh shit! Are you saying that there is going to be another World War?"

"I am one hundred and ten percent sure that a new World War will break out. How? I don't know but, the gods will have to get involved with mortals again. They will have to bend the ancient laws but they will probably make it so that the worlds super powers are pinned against each other. That's what they did last time."

"My gods. Well I actually came here to return Riptide...since I'm no longer a hero, he's no longer mine." Chiron looked thoughtful.

"No. The sword is yours."

"Chiron, I can't use him anymore." Percy said trying to hand over the pen.

"No son, I refuse to take it. You will know what to do with it when the time is right."

"Uh...I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Now Chiron I need you to forget we had this conversation."

"Of course Percy, I won't blow your cover."

"Okay well I best be off. I'll talk to you soon."

"I'll keep in touch." Chiron said as Percy disappeared in a plume of ocean breeze. Percy appeared at the site where the unspeakable deed was committed. He looked around and saw the charred earth the only place not charred was where the two bodies lied. He saw Annabeth's open eyes with her throat ripped out. This was all it took and Percy fell to his knees, he began to cry out loud.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. I swear that if I could go back and change things I would make sure I never killed Lycaon. I-I I'm so sorry! This is all MY FAULT!" Percy was now on his hands and knees just letting his emotions take control as his tears hit the ground. He felt a presence walking toward him and he jerked his head up. He looked up into the stunning grey eyes of Athena and he was immediately pouncing on her. He landed on her and he snarled revealing his bared fangs. The look of horror on her face was evident no matter how much she tried to hide it. "What do you want?!" He snarled.

"I uh came because I could feel your presence here in the park."

"Yeah?!" He shouted. "Do you see what your father has done? Left their bodies here, he didn't care that I killed his daughter. He is so UGH!" Percy felt his canines grow as he moved toward the goddess' neck. He could hear her breathing quicken as she tried to stay calm, he could hear her heart quicken as fear sunk in. He could feel his will strain as he could smell the fear on her. She made a move to go to her true form but Percy was quick to latch his hand around her throat. She coughed trying get some air as her form flickered. Percy pulled himself off her, his hand still around her throat. "You will forget that we had this conversation and that we ever met. You will also forget what you just saw me do." Percy said his canines retracting. She nodded her head frantically. Percy dropped her as she was gasping for air. "Why did you come out here?" She looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean like were you here to like warn me or something?"

"...No I actually came out here to kill you, but then I saw you crying and...Percy?"

"What?" He asked coldly.

"Did you do this?" She said gesturing to her daughter and sister.

"I don't know." He said sarcastically "According to your father I did. Do YOU think I would do this? After all it was you that told me my fatal flaw was loyalty. So you tell me."

"You didn't? Then who did it?" Percy was on the brink again.

"Lycaon!" He spat. "Now I'm not only stuck with the curse of Achilles but also with the curse beast blood."

"Of course! It all makes sense now!" Athena said almost gleefully.

"You sound almost happy, are you glad that I'm stuck like this?" Percy said gesturing to himself.

"Well no..." She said looking thoughtful.

"Are you glad that I'm a monster?"

"..."

"Well! ANSWER ME!" Percy said as patches of fur began to sprout and his ears began to extend while his canines started to grow again.

"You're..."

"A freak!? A mistake!?" She walked towards him and he turned away from her. She put a hand on his cheek but he slapped it away. "Leave me ALONE! This is my fault. I couldn't defeat Lycaon killed my two best friends because of my failure. It might as well have been me who did it." She put her hand under his chin and lifted his face to look at her and she whispered.

"You're a hero not a monster. You were our savior."

"Not anymore! Zeus has forsaken me!" His wolf parts began to recede and Athena used her godly strength to pull him into a hug. He tried to resist and push her away but she held him tighter. "Stop! What are you doing!?" She whispered into his ear

"I don't exactly know." Percy hugged her back and closed his eyes for what seemed like a split second but when he opened his eyes again he was no longer in the forest he was in the Olympian Throne room. He was no longer in Athena's arms either.

"What the Hell!" He looked around to see her on her throne staring at him with a sad look on his face. "You! You evil temptress. You...you fooled me. To think." She looked away sadly.

"PERSEUS! You have evaded me for the last time!" Zeus boomed. "This time I'm taking you to the Underworld. Personally." Zeus shrunk down to human size as he walked toward Percy. He grabbed by the neck.

"Hey... Zeus" he choked out as Zeus looked him in the eyes. "Fuck you." He kneed the God in the stomach and knocked him back. Zeus looked at him infuriated as he yelled.

"Restrain HIM!" Ares got up as well as Apollo and they ran forward and grabbed each of his arms but Percy pulled his arms together and released himself from the grip of the two gods. He ran straight for Zeus but explosive arrow were already flying at his chest. He took the blunt of the damage but all he did was grunt as he lunged at Zeus. He landed on the king's chest as he began pounding on his face. Apollo and Ares dragged him off of Zeus as Zeus jumped up to his feet and he walked toward Percy with bolt in hand. He launched the bolt at him and Ares and Apollo jumped out of the way as Percy took the blast full force and debris flew everywhere but when it cleared there on the ground was Percy on his knees.

"Haven't you learned Zeus? That bolt won't gods damn work!" He slowly got up but Zeus was already in front of him with his hand around his throat.

"Come Perseus we shall take you to Tarturas now." Percy tried to dissipate into mist but he was still groggy from the blast he took. Zeus flashed out of the throne room.

Line Break

"Zeus!" Hades growled. The gods around him looked up.

"What is it brother?" Poseidon asked.

"He dares enter my domain without my permission?! That little σκύλα (bitch)." Poseidon grabbed his shoulder and said

"Take us to him." Hades walked them into a shadow. When they reappeared they Zeus holding Percy by his neck with his feet barely on the edge of the cliff. "NO!" Yelled Poseidon but around Zeus there appeared Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares and Dionysus. Hades put on his helm and all the gods took a step back. Zeus laughed

"You see brother. Your son's fate shall be decided in Tarturas." He said as he dropped Percy and into the pit he fell.

"ZEUS I'll kill you!"

"Um...no I don't think so." He said as he snapped his fingers and he and his children flashed away."

"YOU COWARDS!" He yelled as he ran forward.

"No!" Hades yelled as he rushed forward to restrain his brother.

"Let go of ME!" Poseidon yelled.

"You can't jump in there Poseidon."

"And why not!"

"Because I have no control of what happens in Tarturas. The Pit is not to be controlled by anyone me included."

"Then what will we do? WAIT!?"

Hades sighed sadly "It is all we can do."

"AGHHH!" Poseidon yelled as he flashed away.

"I can only pray for you Perseus."

Line Break/ Percy P.O.V

I had no clue how long I had been falling. Had it been seconds, minutes, hours? I had no clue. But when I was getting comfortable falling I finally saw the ground and was it coming up fast. Wait. Does the ground move? NO, this was water. Thank the gods. I pulled the water up to me but all I could do now was wait and see how this would pan out. When I finally reached the water I went under and tried to breathe but I got a mouthful of water.

'What the hell?' Then out of the murky depths a girl came out and I could suddenly breathe again.

"Lady Styx." I said as I bowed down. I waited but she finally said

"Rise." I stood up and she looked at me like I was crazy. "What are you doing in my river again Perseus?"

"Well I uh used it to catch me so I wouldn't die from the fall."

"What fall?"

"The fall from the Underworld to uh Tarturas."

"Ah... I see. That is why you are so deep in the Underworld."

"I thought I was in Tarturas."

"You are but do not forget Tarturas is still part of the Underworld. Just think of it like a lower level."

"Yes milady." She got uncomfortably close to me and whispered

"My my you have grown into quite the hero Perseus."

"Erm...thank you milady." I said as I was getting really uncomfortable with having another goddess so close.

"Am I...making you uncomfortable Perseus?" She asked seductively as she traced her hand along my chest while at the same time giving me a look with such ferocity that I had to swallow the lump that had grown in my throat.

"Um..." I hesetated as her eyes never stopped looking into mine. "No? Milady." She smirked at me and I knew I had lost. 'What was she going to do was the next?' Was the next thought in my head.

"Have you ever done it under water Perseus?" I felt a familiar pull in my gut as my face flushed and I felt my throat go dry as I answered.

"Um...no milady."

"Good. Then this will be your first time." She said as her hands made their way down to the hem of his my pants and I gulped again.

Line Break (God damn, Percy gets all the bitches! ;) Third Person P.O.V

When Percy woke up he found himself on the banks of the river Styx.

"Gods damn. That makes three goddesses. When will they stop using me as their plaything? First Persephone then Aphrodite and now Lady Styx. I need to learn to stop myself." He exhaled lying back down onto the sand.

Line Break Again

The Above world 6 months after Percy fell into the pit.

Zeus saw his own breath as he exhaled.

"Remind me again what we are doing in Russia father." Apollo spoke as he held his arms together.

"I came up with a plan to start a World War."

"And what was that plan?" Artemis asked.

"Simple we convince Dmitry Medvedev to launch a nuclear strike on the United States to start a new World War." Athena spoke up.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Ares retorted.

"We kill him." Zeus said as he shrunk in size and as his hair turned black and slicked to the side. They flashed to the Russian executive office. The only person currently in the room was Dmitry. He looked up from his papers to see the four gods standing there along with a duplicate of himself. Ares rushed him before he could call the guards. He held his neck and mouth before Zeus spoke.

"Wait don't kill him!"

"Why?! Aw come on!"

"Because if we kill him, who will be alerted?"

"Hades." Athena answered.

"Exactly." Zeus walked over to the desk and smashed a button under the desk opening up a secret compartment he opened and inside the secret compartment was a briefcase. Dmitry's eyes widened as he tried yelling. Zeus opened the briefcase and inside was a panel for the president's hand and a 21 digital zeros. Zeus place his hand on the imprint and the briefcase said

"Voice Recognition required." Zeus spoke in Dmitry's voice.

"President Dmitry Medvedev"

"Access granted." Zeus walked over to Dmitry and reached into his suit pocket and pulled out what seemed to look like a pager. He clicked the pager and a piece of paper popped out. Zeus grabbed the piece of paper and walked back over to the brief case. He started putting the numbers. 7285901-2906178-4830253

"Access Granted. Please enter said cities you wish to destroy." Zeus started typing

Manhattan, New York

New York, New York

Miami, Florida

Los Angeles, California

San Francisco, California

Houston, Texas

Chicago, Illinois

Phoenix, Arizona

San Diego, California

San Antonio, Texas

Indianapolis, Indiana

Columbus, Ohio

Charlotte, North Carolina

Detroit, Michigan

Memphis, Tennessee

By the time Zeus was done with all the U.S cities he had over thirty cities locked on.

"Well now I start on Europe."

"Whoa whoa Father we never said anything about European cities."

"You are right. The U.S shall do." Zeus said as he hit enter. There was a final warning and Zeus okayed it. The briefcase showed a satellite image of the Earth and Zeus could see the missiles were coming down from space. "Wow!" Zeus exclaimed. "The technology of Mankind still surprises me." The United States barely had enough time to respond to the missiles. Very few cities survived the bombardment of the nuclear missiles.

Line Break/ News Broadcast from a small California suburb that hadn't been hit.

"Obama has reacted to Russia's attack declaring war on Russia and calling forth the ABCA Armies alliance and he also requests help from Mexico, France and Israel. Russia's president Dmitry Medvedev has been charged for War Crimes allowing Vladimir Putin to become Russia's new President. He then called on China, Vietnam, Germany and the Pacific Islands not including Japan.

Line Break. Back to Percy.

Before Zeus dropped the bombs. So...6 months prior to the new war.

Percy was walking along the river Styx like Lady Styx told him to. He was walking with his head dropped low as he stared at the ground and continued walking. It wasn't until he almost walked into a wall that he looked up and saw what seemed to be a small fort. Percy walked around the fort looking for an entrance. He thought he had gone a full 360 degrees around the fort before he found steps that led to the top floor of the fort. His gut told him not to go in there but he felt riptide shake in his pocket and as he pulled out the pen he felt it keep vibrating. He started walking up the steps and the closer he got to the top the more violent the pen got. As he reached the top of the steps the pen began to glow indistinctly. When Percy looked up from the pen he noticed a set of double doors. All along the doors stretched different designs of periods in history but in each and every period in time there was one word that repeated itself. Anaklusmos. Percy even saw events from his life but it all stopped with the last scene being the fight with Atlas on top of Mt. Tam. Percy's heart clenched as he saw the three familiar figures of Annabeth, Thalia, and Zoë. He felt a sense of dread wash over him. He was having second thoughts of ever venturing away from the river. He could've sworn that he was stepping away from the doors but the next he knew he was opening them. He walked into the room and was greeted with wind gust to the face. When he opened his eyes he saw that the whole room was barren save for the random box in the middle of the room. He walked toward the box and he thought aloud.

"Why would there be a box in here?" But the closer he got the more he realized. "Wait...this isn't a box. It's a- a coffin." As he neared the coffin he felt Riptide starting to burn in his hand but he held onto it. As he stood over the coffin he saw the words that were written across the top and he almost fell back. He had to take a step back because across the top of the coffin it read

"Here lies former Hesperide, Zoë Nightshade."
