Nothing was going good. My kingdom looked like a prison riot with almost all of the ghosts trying to reach the Doors of Death, the Doors were being pushed open, I had no idea where my keys, sword, or helm was, having to send them to different places in the world, and worst of all was that my son, Nico, was missing. I wished that I knew where my son was and that I could go and get him, but I couldn't. For once I was willing to be nice to Percy Jackson and not try to kill him, I knew that he would go to save my son. I could only hope that Percy Jackson was quick enough. I was interrupted from my thoughts by the appearance of Charon.

"My Lord, I have news for you." Charon says.

"Very well. What is it?" I ask, it was probably more information on these riots.

"Well, you aren't going to like it," that piqued my interest "It see,s the reason that Gaea was able to get two of the keys was because Zeus and Poseidon gave them to her."

"WHAT!" I shout. Sure my brothers and I don't get along very well but for them to give two of my keys to Gaea...

"It truly is horrible, my lord. But I just heard it, an Iris message appeared with Zeus and Poseidon talking about how Gaea would destroy the Underworld and you, then they would have all the power and not have to worry about you. They sent their demigod children to steal the keys apparently." Charon says, his voice low.

"Their demigod children," I shout, so Percy Jackson was aiming for my downfall, he was probably going to kill my son as soon as he saw him, "If Zeus and Poseidon want a fight, then they will have it. It just won't be between me and Gaea but me against both of my brothers. Get my army ready, and send a little message to Zeus." If they wanted war then they would get it.

"Yes, sire, right away." Charon bows before walking away to get the Army of Hades ready, no one ever saw the cruel smile on his face or the glint in his eyes.

My brothers had betrayed me, most likely all the other gods had as well. When I defeated them they would all go to my dungeons and be chained up for eternity, except for Hesitia, I couldn't see my sister having a part in this. But Zeus and Poseidon would pay, especially if either of there children hurt my son. If one hair was out of place on Nico because of them, let's just say that their punishment wouldn't be pretty.

Turning around I walked further into the palace towards the armory, I might not have my sword or Helm, but I would still be a force to reckon with.

Meanwhile on Olympus, 3rd Person POV

The meeting was not going well. Zeus had called an emergency meeting to talk about the threat Gaea was posing. So far the only thinking that had happened was a flock of owls attacking Poseidon and a huge wave hitting Athena. They were now standing up and screaming at each other.

"Both of you SIT DOWN!" Zeus shouted in anger.

Both Poseidon and Athena became quiet and slunk back to their seats. Athena was glaring at Poseidon while Poseidon was muttering about how much of an owl head Athena was.

"Now, you all know why we are here. We need to figure out a way to stop Gaea."

"I still think you should have called brother up here as well. He has a right to know what you all are planning." No one had to look to know who had talked, it was Hesitia. No one was surprised either that she was defending Hades right to be up here.

"Hades has more important things to do. He has a kingdom that is being destroyed. But anyway let's us get down to busi-" Zeus was cut off by the floor under their feet beginning to shake.

The shaking was the equivalent of a 4.7 earthquake, but somehow all of the gods and goddesses managed to not fall to the ground. Cracks started to run through the ground and out of them skeletons began to claw their way from the earth. The shadows seemed to run from where they had been to form a figure in the middle of the room. As the shaking stopped the shadows broke apart to reveal Hades.

"Brother? What was the call for all of that?" Poseidon asked shocked, something was obviously wrong from the look on Hades face.

"You know what is wrong Poseidon, you gave two of my keys to Gaea! You want her to destroy me and my realm," Hades shouted at his brother before rounding on Zeus "Both of you. You want ultimate power, even if it means destroying me and working with Gaea."

Zeus stood up, already angry at Hades accusations "We have done no such thing. And you can just leave, don't you have a kingdom to protect." Zeus snarled.

"Oh, I'll be leaving, but not before telling you two more things. One, if your demigod children come anywhere close to me or my son, I will personally send them to Tartarus."

"You wouldn't!" came from Poseidon at the same time as Zeus' "You'll have to go through me first." Both were outraged that Hades would threaten their children.

"Second," Hades continued "This is war. You are willing to let Gaea finish me off, but I am not. After I leave war will begin, the Olympians against the House of Hades." Hades snarled at them.

Every god was shocked by what Hades had just said. He couldn't be serious, to declare war at this time.

Hesitia was the first to snap out of it "But, brother, you can not be serious? Zeus and Poseidon have not done any of what you have accused them of. Please, brother, rethink this." Hesitia pleaded.

Hades looked over to Hesitia "I am sorry sister, but you do not know what I do. I will tell my army not to harm you, for you have done nothing wrong. I will not rethink this though, my mind is made up. When I next see all of you, it will be in war." with that Hades disappeared, leaving all the gods to ponder over what had just happened.

Somewhere on the Island of Crete, Minos Pov

"Everything is in place." Charon said to me.

"Very well, very good job." I praise him before he walks away.

Oh yes, it was a good job, Hades believed everything that Charon had told him. By this time tomorrow the gods would be at war with each other, causing their own downfall. Gaea would then take power and I would have a position of power once again. Then I could get rid of the son of Hades. Everything was happening just as Gaea had said it would. Turning around I began to walk towards the throne room to tell Gaea the good news.

Bianca's Pov

It was Nico's birthday and we were both sitting just outside of Westover Hall. There was outside, it being the end of January. Nico was sitting next to me, just looking out at the snowy landscape. Deciding that it was time to surprise my little brother I took out a small package from underneath my jacket.

"Happy birthday, Nico." I say while simultaneously shoving the package under his nose.

My brothers eyes grow wide as he stammers out a thank-you . I just tell him to open it. I treasure the smile and pure look of happiness on his face.

"Thank-you Bianca." Nico lunges at me, his arms wrapping around me.

I laugh "No problem, Nico."

It was then that I felt a nagging in the back of my head. Something wasn't right but what was it. It came to me so suddenly that I was shocked, this was Nico's ninth birthday, that had been nearly five years ago. As I pull away from Nico everything fades out, turning into complete darkness. I didn't know where I was, but I knew one thing for sure, I would get out of here and find my brother. Even if I got sent back to the Underworld I had to tell him that I was sorry for everything that I had done while under Nyx's control. I began to walk in one direction hopping that I would find a way out of this place.

Meanwhile in the Underworld

All of the Underworld was getting ready for war. There was hundreds, no thousands, of skeletons in armor holding weapons ranging from swords, to bows, to guns. Some of the skeletons were riding man-eating horses. Surrounding the skeletons were Hell hounds of all sizes, including Cerberus. Flying over head were the furies and Stymphalian birds. The daemons were all either flying or in chariots, ready to fight no matter what. In his palace was Hades, staring out at his army, a look of pure anger on his face.

"Let the war begin."
