Ch. 9

Percy rolled his eyes, "I think you two misunderstand me. The only team I play for is team Percy. I'm not really on the side of Heaven or Hell. I'm looking out for me and me alone. Lilith is a dear old friend but her loyalties are not the same as mine. She wants Dean dead. I'm not a huge fan of that, so I stopped it."
Sam looked suspicious, "What are you trying to tell us? That you're not evil?"
Percy let out a loud laugh, "Hades no. I like to think I'm a bit different, a little mix of Heaven and Hell. The side that suits my interests is the side I will help. But really, I'm on my side and my side alone. Now speaking of Hades, I have a certain god of the dead in dire need of a visit from his dearest nephew. I'll leave you two to finish your little family argument. Remember Sam, lying is only going make things worse. Better to come clean now, but I'll leave that up to you, for now. You think you're helping but you're not. You're Ruby's little instrument and she's playing you to fit her needs and not yours."
Sam looked confused but Percy just shook his head and vanished. Both brothers looked at each other confused.
"Did you just hear that?" Dean asked.
Sam's eyes were wide, "It couldn't be. Must have been the wind."
Dean nodded slowly, "Yeah, probably the wind."
Now
Once the moment of confusion was gone, Dean turned to his brother.
"Really Sammy? Ruby? Fucking Ruby? I mean don't get me wrong, I've woken up with a few ogres in my day but that's after a bottle of Jack and they haven't spent the past few centuries burning in the fiery pits of Hell. What the fuck were you thinking? She's a demon!"
Sam scowled and looked away. He knew his brother made a good point and there weren't a lot of comebacks for you just slept with a demon but things were complicated.
"What do you want me to say Dean? It was a mistake? You don't understand what it was like. You were in Hell and I was stuck back here helpless to do anything to get you out. Did I make a few less than stellar decisions? Yes, but there's no changing things now. Ruby has been helping me hunt down Lilith and that was my main priority when you left."
Dean just shook his head in disbelief, "Yeah and it was obviously necessary for you to fuck a demon in order to find Lilith. Tell me Sammy, where did that help you in locating Lilith?"
Sam growled to himself, "I don't know what you expect me to say."
"Explain where your fucking head was at? What else does that evil bitch have you doing? She's got you tapping into your demon powers and apparently her ass as well. Anything else you need to tell me? Percy made it sound like there's still more. So what is it Sammy? You better tell me now because if I find out you're still lying to me…." Dean yelled leaving the threat hanging.
Sam clenched his fists as he tried to control his anger. After a moment he looked up, "Can we leave before another band of demons comes to kill us? We have a lot of work to do and we're not accomplishing anything standing here yelling at each other."
Dean glared at his younger sibling for a bit. He knew Sam was still holding back but all he could do was wait until Sam decided to tell him. He pulled open the door of the Impala and started it up as he waited for Sam to join him. After a minute, he heard the passenger door open as he put the car in reverse and swerved around the two trucks left by the demons before whipping the car around when they reached the end of the dirt road, the screeching of tires hitting the pavement giving Sam a clear indication of his brother's opinion of their conversation.
Line Break
Percy sat with his feet propped up on a desk in a New York City publishing company office as he thought about his next move. Things had gotten slightly more complicated. The angels undoubtedly knew exactly what he was now and it was only a matter of time before they sent another attack in an attempt to kill him. He had planned on keeping that information to himself for a little longer but he wasn't overly concerned with the threat from Heaven at the moment. They had other problems to worry about and they seemed more interested in waiting for Lucifer to rise so that he and Michael could have their prophesized title bout.
He had his own plans and they involved throwing a wrench into the plans of Michael and the other archangels.
Percy looked to his left where the CEO was seated on one of the office couches. Or at least the CEO's body was sitting.
"Luke, go to Camp Half-Blood. Bring whoever you need and watch them. I'm going to attack in a few hours after I've warned the gods. Any attempt to leave the camp by a demigod, you kill them. This ends today. This whole revenge thing is getting old. We've got more serious things that need our attention and I would just prefer to wipe out most of the gods and demigods today and let the rest wait until the Apocalypse to find their deaths."
Luke smiled, "As you wish Perce." He opened his mouth as black smoke poured out and shot out of the open window.
Percy snapped his fingers as a drachma appeared in his hand. He willed the water in the cup on the desk to form a mist before tossing the drachma in.
"Iris, show me the throne room on Olympus. I've always liked you, so do this and I won't hunt down you or your demigods."
The image shimmered almost nervously making Percy chuckle as the throne room came into view. The image settled on Poseidon who was seated at the head of the thrones.
"Dad!" Percy said with a grin. "King of the gods eh? Who would have guessed? Well, me I guess since I did kill Zeus, but still, congrats. Call it a late father's day present."
Poseidon looked up at the Iris Message with sadness etched on his face before he regained his composure.
"What do you want Perseus?"
Percy frowned, "Really Dad? Perseus? Have we come to that? Eh fine, have it your way. Just wanted to let you know, I'm going to burn Camp Half-Blood to the ground in about three hours. I already have people inside the camp ready to kill anyone that flees, so don't waste your time. If you Olympians have any dignity and self-respect left, you'll defend your children. Perhaps I will spare a few if you cowards show up."
Poseidon looked at his son with sadness, "Percy, please don't do this."
Percy rolled his eyes, "Really Dad? You banish me to Tartarus and turn almost everyone I care about against me and don't expect me to try and kill you all? Tell me, how does it feel? How does it feel to be the weaker ones for once? Not so tough when you're not the powerful gods of Olympus are you?"
Poseidon straightened up and clutched his apparently brand new trident tightly, "Enough of this boy. I am your father and I won't let you harm another innocent soul. I love you Percy but this is it. If I must, I will kill you." He said gaining confidence as he spoke.
The sound of female laughter in the background wiped the confident look from Poseidon's face while Percy just smirked.
"Thanks Dad, Zoë needed a laugh. Good luck with that plan. I'll see you in a few hours."
Before Poseidon could respond, Percy swiped through the message still chuckling softly at his father's tough guy act. He could see the fear on his face through the Iris Message clear as day.
Zoë got up from her seat and sat on Percy's desk as she eyed him curiously.
"Why the rush?"
Percy smiled, "I may have let slip my little situation in that fight with the three angels. I think it's time to start working towards our goals. Vengeance is fun and all but Lilith is getting dangerously close to opening the remaining seals needed to free Lucifer."
Zoë nodded, knowing she and Lilith were the only ones to know what Percy really was. She knew it would be an awkward situation when Luke and the others found out but then again, she and Percy could really care less. Their loyalty was appreciated but she and Percy were only concerned with their own interests in the world and as long as they were obedient, the others were allowed along for the ride.
"Having second thoughts?" Percy asked softly.
Zoë laughed, "Never. No matter where this road brings us, I am with you until the end. You are my husband and I would never doubt your decisions."
Percy rolled his eyes, "Liar," he said poking her stomach. "You've never been one to go along if you didn't like the plan."
Zoë let out a little giggle and she slipped her arms around his neck, "True but I trust you and I am with you always, no matter what happens. And I believe we both know I am very different than I was when I was a huntress." She said raising an eyebrow and smiling suggestively.
Percy grinned as he pressed his lips to hers, "You know, we've got some time before killing the Greeks, and that couch looks awfully inviting."
Zoë wasted no time as she ripped off his shirt and threw him unto the couch. She climbed on top of him as she pulled her own shirt off, "I believe we have all the time you decide, angel boy."
-x- (Almost Sadie…)
Percy appeared at the top of Half-Blood Hill. He gazed down at the camp and saw the lines of demigods in full battle armor waiting for his arrival. He chuckled to himself as they looked like they were preparing for a battle when it was just him and Zoë standing atop the hill with a bound figure with a bag covering their face.
Chiron cantered forward nervously, "Perseus, stop this madness now." He barked.
Percy ignored the centaur and pulled the bag off the captors head making Chiron's eyes widen.
Six flashes of light appeared in between Percy and Zoë and the demigod army. Poseidon, Athena, Hermes, Apollo, Hephaestus and Ares were in full battle armor as they prepared to fight Percy and Zoë.
"I thought you killed her." Poseidon yelled loudly.
Percy smirked a bit as he pushed Thalia in front of him.
"Demons don't usually prefer to eat people. We're more into the corrupting and dragging their souls into Hell business. It was effective though, all of Olympus was ready to come after me over one little demigod. All you guys were was Zeus' little bitches. Since he's dead, I offer you Thalia as a peace offering."
Poseidon looked shocked but a little relieved, "Thank you son. I would prefer we not have to settle this with violence."
Percy nodded and shooed Thalia towards camp. She started walking as quickly as she could in her shackles.
"Then again," Percy added. "I rather like violence. It makes me feel alive." He said as he pulled a pistol out of his waistband.
Thalia tried to hurry but before any of the gods could flash to her, Percy raised the gun and fired a shot right into the back of her head.
"Oops. I guess there goes my peace offering." Percy said with feigned innocence as Thalia dropped to the ground dead.
Percy walked over to Thalia's pine tree and pulled down the Golden Fleece for all the demigods and gods to see. He held it out before his hands caught fire and engulfed the fleece as it burned to ashes in a matter of seconds.
"Ready love?" He asked.
Zoë winked as he stepped forward.
"Let's try not to kill all the demigods, spare the youngest. I'm feeling merciful today." Percy said as he raised he hands and made a shooing motion as they army of demigods was sent flying backwards.
"Luke, I'll leave your father to you. Zoë, feel free to let Apollo know how much of an arrogant douche he truly is, and Athena is to be captured but not harmed. I have plans for that bitch." Percy ordered as smiles appeared on the faces of Zoë and Luke as he appeared beside them atop the hill with Nico at his side.
"Now Perce?" Nico asked.
Percy smirked and nodded.
Suddenly dozen of funnels of black smoke flew in behind the four demonic figures and flew towards camp. The gods dropped to the ground but the smoke flew right over their heads and shot into random demigods leaving them clutching their throats before their eyes turned black and the charged at the nearest non-possessed demigod.
"Idiot gods." Percy chuckled.
Percy's eyes shifted to white as he vanished and reappeared right in front of his father.
"Your death comes later Pops." He said as he flicked his wrist and Poseidon was sent crashing into the army of demigods fighting themselves. A number of the possessed campers threw themselves at the god of the seas who was trying to keep them back with blasts from his trident.
Percy spun around as sidestepped a wild slash from Ares' blade. He stepped forward and threw a heavy handed punch into the war god's jaw making him stagger a bit.
"I'm going to kill you punk." He growled at Percy who just chuckled softly.
"Dear gods of Olympus, what ever shall I do now that the guy whose ass I kicked at twelve is after me."
Ares' sword glowed until it morphed into an M-16 assault rifle. "Guess you'll be getting it modern today kid."
Ares unloaded rounds from the rifle into Percy who stumbled back and fell. Ares stood over his body and emptied the rest of the clip into his chest before he smiled smugly.
"Not so tough now, huh punk?" He said smugly before the sound of laughed wiped the look from his face.
Percy climbed to his feet as the wounds healed up almost instantly.
"Well now I've seen the power of a pagan god. Would you like to see the power given to warrior of the real God?"
Ares started to fire again before Percy snapped his fingers and the gun broke in half. Percy advanced slowly as Ares tried to flash away only to find out he couldn't.
"I bet the angel told you guys I was supposed to go to heaven to become as angel, right?" Percy asked with amusement. "What he didn't know is that when I died, I became an angel anyway. I am simply an angel who fell from grace now, with all the kick ass smiting powers included."
Ares tried to back up but tripped over the bloodied body of a dead demigod and landed on his back with a thud. Before he could recover, Percy was standing over him. He put a hand to Ares' forehead before looking around quickly. His hand lit up as Ares' eyes and mouth glowed brightly. The war god gave one last fearful bellow of agony before his body went limp, still smoking from the eyes and mouth.
Percy turned to find Hermes' body laying on the ground with his head a few feet away. Luke and Nico were taking their time in finishing off Hephaestus while Zoë was standing over Apollo's body as he writhed in agony. Her grin threatened to split her face as her hand twisted and Apollo's body mimicked its movements.
Percy saw Athena sneaking up behind Zoë but was stopped in her tracks when Percy appeared in front of her.
"Hello cousin, did you miss me?" He asked with a grin.
Athena tried to turn but Percy flicked his wrist as her leg snapped as her body twisted and she dropped to the ground in pain.
"No, no, no Athena. I have many plans for you and they don't involve dying today." Percy scolded as he snapped his fingers and she was wrapped in celestial bronze chains. He snapped his fingers again and Nico appeared at his side.
"Bring this little bitch somewhere private. I have much better plans for her."
Nico smirked as he leaned down and put his hand on the goddess' shoulder before they vanished from the camp.
Before Percy could turn around, he was driven to the ground with a trident in his back. Poseidon twisted the weapon as Percy let out a pained scream.
"I had Hephaestus make this one out of a celestial bronze and iron alloy. Specially made just for you Percy." Poseidon growled.
Poseidon went to twist the weapon again but he dropped to a knee as Zoë stood behind him. She put her hand out as a white light was emitted. Poseidon tried to cry out but was quickly silenced as his lifeless body fell to the ground.
Zoë stepped on the back of his head before she pulled the weapon free from Percy's back. She turned and drove it right into the back of Poseidon's skull despite the fact he was already dead.
"No one touches my Percy, not even his father." Zoë growled.
Percy climbed back to his feet smiling at Zoë before looking around the camp. All the gods were dead and more than half the demigods had fallen.
Percy raised his hand as all the possessed campers froze. Their mouths opened and the demons were forcefully pulled from their hosts before vanishing.
Percy looked up at the remaining campers that weren't unconscious.
"The rest of you get to live but if you even think about worshipping one of these Greek gods again, I'll rip you to pieces with my bare hands." He yelled loud enough for all to hear.
Chiron cantered over nervously, "Thank you Percy, thank you for being merciful."
Percy rolled his eyes, "Remember my warning. I don't show leniency more than once." He said wrapping an arm around Zoë before he snapped his fingers and Chiron's body exploded, showering any demigod with ten feet with blood and body fragments.
"Stupid horse never did know when to shut his trap." Percy muttered before he and Zoë vanished, leaving only the light sound of wings flapping as they went.
Line Break
Sam and Dean were unpacking in their room at the Northside Motel in Fremont Nebraska. Bobby had sent them on the trail of a nest of vampires who had been moving from town to town through Nebraska, leaving trails of corpses and missing people in their wake. His latest report had told them the vampires had just settled into Fremont giving them a good chance to kill them before they could move on to another town.
The tension had been thick the entire drive from New York and it wasn't getting any better. Neither brother was willing to give in though Dean seemed far angrier than Sam.
Then again, he wasn't the one who started banging a demon in his free time while his brother rotted in the fiery pits of Hell.
"We need to talk." Castiel said from behind Dean who flinched and then growled in irritation.
"We talked about this Cas, personal space."
Castiel stepped back a step, "We need to talk." He said again.
Dean rolled his eyes and nodded for him to go on.
"The demon, Perseus. Have you seen him since you were in that camp?"
"Yeah, he showed up like an hour later. Mostly to just spill the beans about Sam and his extracurricular activities." Dean said back shooting a glance at Sam.
Castiel ignored the comment, "Did he say anything about his plans?"
Dean raised an eyebrow, "Kind of. He just said he's not on anyone's side except his own. Why though? Why the sudden interest in his plans? He's a demon so he is obviously not on our side, right?"
Castiel expression turned grim.
"That's only partially correct. He is something different, something never seen before or even thought possible."
Dean's eyes widened before he looked at Sam. Castiel noticed the expression exchanged between the two brothers. "Did he tell you?"
Sam looked curious, "Tell us what? What is he?"
Castiel looked between the two brothers, "You must be wary of him. You cannot know where his loyalties lie. He is both demon and angel and as powerful as Michael or Lucifer."
Dean and Sam's jaws dropped.
"How is that even possible?" Sam asked.
Castiel shook his head, "He was chosen by god to rise above all others and join Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael in protecting Heaven. When his mortal life ended, he assumed his true form. But he likely did not know it seeing as he was thrown into the Greeks version of Hell and then the true Hell. Lilith knew what he was and before he could realize it, she twisted his soul. Showed him the horrors of Hell and the world, warping him to see what she wanted him to see. When she made him into a demon, she told him what he really was but at that point he was already too far gone."
Dean wasn't sure what to think about what he was hearing. The one person who he developed some sort of a friendship during his time in Hell turns out was some weird hybrid demon/angel mix.
"Can he be fixed? There must be a way for him to come back." Sam asked hopefully, his thoughts more centered on himself than on Percy.
Castiel sighed, "Possibly but he would have to be willing. He is too powerful to force him to endure what would be needed."
"So what now? Hope and pray he doesn't want to join Lucifer should he rise?" Dean asked.
Castiel's expression darkened, "For now, yes. He seems to be wanting to sit on the sidelines and settle personal agendas. Whatever his plan is, he is keeping it close to the chest. Until we know, there is little we can do about it."
Both Winchester brothers were silent, their minds racing as they tried to think about the situation.
"I must return but should he come to you again, try not to provoke him. Angering him will only be signing your own death certificates and from what he has shown so far, he does not forgive easily." Castiel said before vanishing from the room.
Dean turned to look at his brother, "So you shot basically an archangel in the head, twice. Fucking brilliant Sammy. Got any more bright ideas?"
A.N: Another chapter down. I grew tired of the Greeks and decided to do away with most of them quickly. There are still a few around and they will not disappear but now I want to focus on advancing the plot.
A few review responses:
To Michael Ferguson
-I am well aware I could have covered it in less chapters. The thing is, I didn't want to.
-Bianca hasn't been more than mentioned in the story, you meant Hazel.
-To the main point, I did it slowly because it was fun to write it like that. No real reason other than I'm writing it so I can do it as quickly or slowly as I want. And I don't yell unless you act like a douche.
And to the Guest who left this stellar review:

Not to be a dick, but you should probably just sit in the corner and be quiet the rest the story. You just lowered the IQ of everyone who read your review by at least twenty points. I'm not writing something for you to rub one out to at night so please, for the sake of everyone, don't speak anymore.
Oh and random thing I saw trolling through fics… This guy left a review on someone's story being a huge fucktard. Then he signs it and is apparently apart of a group called: ""Member of Flamers for the Purification of FFN"
Listen, I have no problem with gay people but does anyone else find humor in the fact that he's a member of a group of flamers? I know I laughed. Sorry, thought I'd share.
Now, tell me what you thought. Good, bad and the ugly.
