I'm very very very sorry for not posting up soon. But I have made up for that by posting up that long chapter! ENJOY! :]

Zoe was pretty sad about her brother. She kind of liked the green eyed ninja, but now he's her brother?

There has to be something wrong with that. They didn't even look alike.

How can they be siblings? She was blonde, for Christ's sake! She didn't have jet-black hair that glistened in the sunlight, not like Zoe noticed or anything.

She didn't even notice how he would smile at her when she wasn't looking or how he would flinch when she looked at him (she did!).

But when Clarisse declared that she and the green eyed ninja were siblings, Freddie's (the green-eyed ninja's name, which Zoe found out when she snuck out to his tent later on but that's another story) smile turned to a frown and he looked at Zoe in a peculiar way.

Anyways, after Clarisse announced that Freddie and Zoe were siblings, Tyson taught Zoe how to use the sword.

To activate it, the user just had to throw it in the air and the water in the blue amulet expanded and turned it to a sword with the amulet spread all around it and acted as a second coat.

The gold chains then covered the hilt and left a few inches for swinging it around like a sword version of a Kusari-Gama, a chain-sickle.

Then, training time came. Tyson started training her in the sword's arena.

But while Tyson was performing like an acrobat with his staff (his specialty) and teaching Zoe the first move every sword-wielder should know: the jab. It was so simple; yet so hard for Zoe.

She was practicing on Tyson, who didn't believe in "going easy" on a beginner. Bur still she tried with the move. Jab from Zoe. Then a block from Tyson. Jab again from Zoe. Block and counter-attack from Tyson. And the cycle starts all over again.

Then finally Zoe finally got it, she jabbed Tyson in his ribs.

Tyson yelled like an ape and retreated. But then after a foot or so, he got into the running position and ran to Zoe.

He then thrust his staff out and Zoe blocked it from an instinct down deep and then Tyson jumped and even did a flip in mid-air.

Meanwhile when Zoe was thinking what is up with flips in this place, Tyson swiped at her.

Her instinct took over and she jumped. She landed on the staff, balanced and ready. She swiped her sword downward and then Tyson raised his staff. Zoe jumped up and did a flip in mid-air, 2 flips. Finally Zoe thought while she assumed a kick position.

And then POW! She kicked Tyson in the face! She then used it as a kick start to jump a few inches in front of her.

Then she used her Kusari-Sword to wrap Tyson's legs together, while the chains extended due to a magical effect. When they fully wrapped around, she pulled on the weight of the Kusari-Sword (another magical effect) and Tyson fell down hard.

She then swung the chain and the sword came back to her hand. She then swung her sword down on Tyson and the tip of the sword reached Tyson's chest.

Now you must be thinking Oh, what did she do but the thing is, she didn't kill him.

When the sword reached to his chest, it melted and turned to ice-cold water and splattered on Tyson's chest.

The water then all gathered on top of his armor and turned into a ball of water and turned smaller and transformed into the blue amulet.

The gold chains on top of Tyson's chest then magically levitated and attached to the amulet. Zoe then grabbed it and put it on her.

"Niece, very good," Tyson said proudly, while beating his chest, "Already learn to control powers and sword skills."

Clarisse then came from the door of the arena and said, "Very good progress, Zoe. But your training isn't done yet. Your next lesson is…"

Clarisse then stopped talking to look at a scroll that she got from her jacket pocket. "Um… archery with Michael Yew, son of Apollo," Clarisse told Zoe. Tyson then said to Clarisse, "Didn't Michael Yew die?" Clarisse replied, "Oh, we found him in the last 5 years remember, Tyson? You were there."

****************Flashback****************

"Oh, no!" Clarisse yelled. Annabeth, Tyson, Clarisse, and Chiron was surrounded by rogue empousae who was leaded by a hydra.

Then they heard a loud screeching sound. It grew closer and closer and then one of the empousae fell down with an arrow stuck in her back.

Then they saw a miraculous thing happen. All the empousae burned and melted into ashes.

They then saw a person on top of the tree in the distance. The person had a bow and arrows and seemed to be aiming at the hydra.

The person then shot a flaming arrow at the hydra and it burned through the hydra's tough skin and stabbed it's inner skin. The person then jumped from his/her post and landed on the hydra. Now, the guy (they could now easily see it as a man) stabbed the hydra in the eye with a flaming arrow.

He then took another flaming arrow and slid down the hydra's back with him stabbing the arrow, using it to slow his descent.

He then jumped off and shot another arrow into the hydra's back.

This time it didn't sink in. Instead he used it as a kick start for another jump and landed right in front of the hydra.

But before he landed, he shot 3 flaming arrows at the hydra's face. The hydra then fell down on its back and dissipated, only leaving gold dust in its place.

The man then turned around to see the hydra's victims. "Michael!" Annabeth said. They could see the man's face now.

It was Michael Yew from Apollo's cabin. He was presumed dead when they couldn't find him in the battle, but no one really ever knew.

Clarisse then said, "Hey, Yew!" Michael then replied, "What, you miss me?" Clarisse blushed, but then yelled, "No, you owe me a chariot!"

"You're still going on about that?" Michael asked. "No, its just that, I get tired of using a car. A chariot is much more suitable than a car for a daughter of Ares!" Clarisse replied.

****************Flashback****************

"Yeah, I handled those empousae by myself. It was easy. Michael just shot them with arrows which just annoyed them," Clarisse said, "I stabbed them and cut off their limbs. And when we were done, Michael had the nerve to talk about the stolen chariot, saying it was his, when it was rightfully mine."

Tyson snorted and ran out of the arena. "Anyways," Zoe said, "What happened to my mom?"

"Well it all started on that summer," Clarisse said then began talking sarcastically in an English accent. "She came inside camp with a pop and said 'ello!'" Clarisse told Zoe and laughed hard. She then spit on the dirt floor. Zoe then asked with most serious face she can, "What really happened?"

Clarisse's face then darkened and she began talking seriously, "It all started on the day when she spilled all our secrets."

****************Flashback****************

"Please stop it. Please! Stop it now!" Annabeth screamed in agony.

She was in another mind torture session and she was already in tears. She handled it very well from the beginning, but she was starting to crack.

She screamed again, this time making the monster next to her faint from the loud noise.

She was in the Empire State Building, Uranus' new headquarters. She was on the lower levels which were intended for punishment to demigods and gods and goddesses.

The upper levels were intended for the monster's communal living area. And then there was Olympus.

Olympus was being used for Uranus' throne, courtroom, a whole town really. It was just like how the Olympians used it except monsters and traitors now walked its hallowed halls.

The 12 thrones were all remade by an imprisoned (and very reluctant) Hephaestus for Uranus' generals, the Titans. The sky, Uranus itself (or the clone he made for day-offs), was now carried by Hades, so Atlas can be freed. So the Titans: Oceanus, Tethys, Hyperion, Mnemosyne, Iapetus, Coeus, Crius, Phoebe, Thea, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Atlas all became Uranus' generals.

They were all scattered around the world to conquer its many nations.

Oceanus drowned Hawaii's many cities and islands with tidal waves and whirlpools. Hyperion burned the country of China to ashes with his power of light.

Atlas crushed the mighty armies of America with his iron strength. Prometheus created an army of clay to destroy the civilization of Africa.

And the remaining Titans, well let's just say they bested the other nations with almost the same deadliness and quickness. And so the Titans then controlled their own piece of the Earth, which would now be called the planet Uranus (the other planet Uranus was called Earth from now on).

The traitors among the minor gods and goddesses were all sent throughout the world too, to help the Titans control their nations.

All the other loyal remaining gods and goddesses were servants of Uranus' and the Titan's like Zeus, who was his cupbearer. Athena had to clean Coeus' plan archives and help the god of the intelligence with his schemes.

Hephaestus helped Iapetus (who regained his memory due to Mnemosyne) make Piercers, Iapetus' weapon he made due to his urge of piercing his enemies.

So all the gods and goddesses had a different place in the world now, like Hera.

Hera was experiencing some discomfort in the Empire State building. She was sitting in a wooden chair with tons of splinters and being mind tortured by a monster, who she really wanted to throw a cow at.

The pain didn't really mind her that much, but she was noticing the girl next to her screaming of all the excruciating pain.

She then focused on the girl's features. She had blonde hair, gray eyes, and a very hard this-does-not-hurt face.

It was Annabeth.

"Honey, dear," Hera said to her, "If you don't think about the pain, you probably won't feel anything." Annabeth then clenched threw her teeth and replied, "That's easy for you to say, you're a god."

Hera thought to herself That is true. But then it wasn't really easy for her too. Hera was in there for a secret that Zeus had told her, and it was very hard to fight the urge to tell the secret.

One fine day, Zeus told her a secret and made Hera swear on the River Styx and their marriage not to tell the secret to anyone until the time was right.

Hera, being the goddess of marriage, went to her knees and swore on the River Styx and their marriage, crying at Zeus' feet and saying after, "Is this what it comes too? I thought we had a special thing together! Oh please don't do this Zee!"

Zee was Hera's nickname for Zeus. It was like how Annabeth called Percy Seaweed Brain. It was just a nickname to tell the other person that they still love them.

"Oh, Hera," Zeus said to her consolingly, "You know I would never divorce you. The reason why is because I love you."

Hera then replied, "And the other reason why is because you're scared of me, right." Zeus then nodded quickly.

Hera learned over several millenniums, that being the wife of Zeus wasn't the only way to make people do what they want.

No, that was just the base of it all. The real icing on the cake was to use fear.

Fear really helped her over the years. It made Zeus have less affairs with mortal women.

It also made sure that Zeus' past affairs wouldn't resurface anymore. Anyways, Hera did keep the secret well inside her head.

The only problem now was waiting until the right time to let the secret out.

The only thing Zeus said to her was You will know the time and that was it. There was nothing else, no clues, no hints, no anything.

Zeus, himself, didn't even know the right time either. He just played along with what the little voice in his head told him too, which was the goddess of wisdom and deep thought, Metis.

Metis, the mother of Athena, was the person who foretold the Battle of the Fallen. After some careful thinking with Metis, Zeus thought of a way to end the Age of the Old quickly. That was the ultra-secret secret.

But it required 1 thing for it to work: the sacrifice of a god. A god cannot die, that may be.

But it is stated in the Ancient Laws, as ancient as time itself, that a god can die if they sacrifice himself or herself in the Flame.

The Flame is the oldest substance in the universe, next to time, which if tampered with can destroy the universe.

The reason for it being made by Chaos is it also keeps the world in balance. Without it, the world itself would enter a never-ending age of chaos that would destroy the gods themselves.

The Flame also control the lives of the gods too. Part of their essence is inside the Flame, which keeps the Flame as lively as ever.

But it doesn't only hold the gods' essence. It also holds everyone else's essence too.

But at any time, the Flame can extinguish any essence at any time, thus destroying the person itself.

The Fates, though they create the lives of the gods and people, they cannot stop the Flame from its strange tasks.

The Flame though is not good or evil, it's just in balance. It does what it thinks is the right thing.

But it cannot control the people from tampering with it. When a god or goddess wants to die, they end up in Greece on the original Mount Olympus.

The Flame is stored there because no one would think it would be in such an unguarded place. The god or goddess then reaches inside the Flame to grab his or her essence.

They then crush the essence, thus burning the god or goddess to ashes which end up in Tartarus making the endless pit even darker.

That's what happened to Ra. He was the sun god that Chaos made in the ancient ages, Chaos' first creation ever.

Now you must be thinking Isn't Ra the king of the gods and the sun god in Egyptian mythology. Well, Chaos was mad at his creation for being so puny and small.

Ra was the size of a puppy Chihuahua and could only produce a ball of energy the size of Chaos' eyeball.

Chaos then commanded Ra to sacrifice himself to the Flame, even though how cute and small Ra was (he had big eyes and a small body!).

Back then the Flame was very tiny, so it didn't have much power. So, when Ra tried to sacrifice himself he didn't fully destroy himself.

He woke up in Egypt, refreshed and grown. He was now more powerful than ever and could produce an energy ball the size of Chaos' eyeball times 100! He grew and was now 3 sories tall.

After looking at the godless Egypt, he then converted to Egyptian mythology and became Ra, the king of the god.

So, Hera was thinking of all this now, while she was looking at Annabeth suffering.

You might think it was cruel and harsh to do something like that, but Hera couldn't do anything.

Her powers were stored in a magical canister, along with the other gods and goddesses. But then Hera felt a strong tugging in her stomach.

She then pulled at it. A voice then talked in her mind. Hera I know we are not on good terms the voice said. It then talked again: But you must listen to me. You have to let go of the secret now.

Hera immediately knew it was Metis, Zeus' ex-wife and her mortal enemy (or really her immortal enemy).

What do you want from me Hera said You know I already have tons of problems right now.

Well this is important Metis replied It has something to do with the secret Zeus told you. You must let go of the secret now, at this moment. Or else it will be too late!

Hera then said as Metis' voice faltered The secret? Now! To who?

But then it was too late. Metis' voice was gone and then Hera knew. She had to tell Annabeth.

She immediately sent a mental message to Annabeth which got her attention. Hera then told Annabeth the secret.

It really helped Annabeth take her mind off the pain.

Then Hera stopped at the real important part of the secret. Somehow, she knew that she couldn't tell Annabeth that part of the secret, even though it was really essential.

That part was the most vital ingredient in the secret: the sacrificing of a god. So, Hera stopped talking after saying the partial secret.

Hera then waited for some sort of comment. There wasn't. At that time, Uranus had come into the mind torture room and put Annabeth's mind torturer on high.

Annabeth then screamed in agony and sobbed. Uranus then said, "Come on, you have to have a secret weapon or something. At least tell me where your camp's drachma stash is."

Annabeth just cried even more, screaming loud enough to make another monster faint. "Well, if you do not want to say anything, this might," Uranus said cruelly.

And then her transformed into Percy in his younger years, when he was just 11, the time he and Annabeth just met. "Oh, Wise Girl. Just tell me the secret. You could trust me with anything, right?" "Percy" said.

Annabeth cried out once again and blurted out the secret, the secret that was so important.

That wasn't the only thing. She also told Uranus the robots the Hephaestus cabin had been making, the demigods who were hiding out in the Bermuda Triangle Island, and more.

But then after Annabeth was done, "Percy" kissed her. Annabeth didn't let go of the kiss, but then "Percy" transformed into Luke, the hero who saved Olympus in the end. Luke then grabbed Annabeth by her shoulders and they both burst into flames. Two screams then came from them, one scary and deep and the other scared as ever. The flames then subsided and in its place was Uranus and at his feet, ashes.
