Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

thanks again for all the reviews, the last chapter didn't have much story value but it thought it was worth it, the last chapter was my way of slowly making Percy have a bigger army and now his troops can be mentioned more as they have more value to the story

On Olympus

- two months since the immortals joined Percy -

Artemis was furious, her hunters had been kidnapped by Hyperion and the other Olympians would not let her rescue them, she couldn't ask camp half-blood for help so her hunters were probably lost forever, Artemis dreaded to think what had happened to them while in Hyperion's claws, Artemis was broken from her thoughts by Hades, "You are angry at us Artemis we know, but the reason I disagreed was because none of the half-bloods at camp would be able to survive the quest, you need to find a higher skilled hero then simple demi-gods, Hyperion has been in that tree a long time, I didn't tell you this but Poseidon told me Percy considers Bianca like his little sister, she can convince him to do just about anything, so convince Bianca and she will convince Percy" Artemis was weary, she knew that the monster camp was a dangerous place, if anybody attacked there they would face an endless army, the monsters loved the place, they got fed all the time so they were even stronger than before the second titan war, they were safe, they were trained how to have no weakness and they were given armour and weapons, so anybody attacking would face an endless army of monsters who would refuse to fade.

-At Percy's Camp -

"Bianca, I didn't know that the hunters were going to attack your camp, and I truly am sorry for your injuries but the hunters have been kidnapped by Hyperion, they were hunting and their arrows missed the stag they were hunting, four arrows pierced Hyperion's tree, and the sunlight gave him enough power to break out of the tree, only one of your campers has a chance of rescuing the hunters, the demi-gods at camp half-blood can't face Hyperion and win" Bianca thought over saving the hunters, she knew they were angry at her for joining Percy but they nearly killed her, she was just glad Luke didn't think her scars made her ugly, they had been going out for a week and they were both really happy, "Artemis I may be able to get someone to accept this mission, but it will have to be a male, I don't know who but most of us are going on a five day training exercise, I will tell you if Percy will give the mission the green light."

Bianca walked into the throne room, over the time she had spent in the camp she felt strange when there wasn't at least one monster within a room, apart from her bedroom of course, it would be like if she saw Percy without at least one of his group with him, it would simply be strange, "Percy I have an idea of how to stop us having to go to war with Olympus over the hunters" Percy looked up from where he was playing triple chess with his guardians, Bianca barely knew how to play normal chess so she didn't even want to think about the complexity of three players, all she knew was Percy and his guardians played a lot and the only time he lost was when his guardians worked together to beat him, and then it was generally only just a win, "what is your idea Bianca" "I need you to hear me out and not interrupt me though, you won't like it at first but at least listen to my whole plan before judging it" Percy nodded once "Hyperion has escaped his tree, the hunters were hunting and their arrows broke the bark from his tree, the sunlight gave him enough power to break free, he then kidnapped them and currently has them hostage."

Bianca could see Percy imaging the scene "how does this help stop the war?" Bianca smirked, she had him hook line and sinker, he wouldn't have let her carry-on if he was going to refuse "simple, you go beat up Hyperion but make the hunters swear to never harm anyone loyal to you without your permission or you won't free them" she saw the slight smirk that Percy had thinking of the plan, "and oh great tactician how does the rescuer get past Hyperion without defeating him?" "they tell him they work for a god who is sick and tired of the hunters, that their master wished them to go and see if it was true Hyperion had them hostage and that if it was true Hyperion would get an army of a couple of monsters as a reward for their capture, they make the hunters swear the oath and the beat Hyperion..." Percy saw Bianca get nervous about half way through her plan. "What?" Bianca wouldn't make eye-contact "well, all of us are going on this training exercise, everybody but you..."

Percy realised that he would have to rescue the damn hunters, at least this was a final solution, no more stupid attacks on his camp by the hunters, he would gladly rescue them if he people were no longer in danger, all of the immortals still treated death like they had when they were mortal, the monsters still did now as well, Percy had seen some of them making plans with their leaders, they were gaining knowledge now that they were sage and had the chance to improve,

"I will rescue the damn hunters, go get ready for your mission and don't tell anyone about my mission" Bianca nodded once, turned round and left the room, she entered her bedroom and burst out laughing, the look on Percy's face when he realised he would have to rescue the hunters. "Artemis your hunters will be rescued sometime over the next few days, our best group will be rescuing them, sadly it will be a male and our troop has orders from Percy to not release them until they swear an oath that they will never harm anybody who is loyal to Percy again, breaking the oath will result in very severe punishment, a trip to Tartarus's personal torture chambers for example."

Artemis was happy about her hunters being rescued, but she knew her hunters would be angry being rescued by a male, and the oath they would have to swear although it annoyed her and damaged her pride she understood why Percy would want them to swear to never hurt anybody loyal to him.

The next day Percy teleported all of his army to random points in the jungle, there task was to stay alive for five days without any outside assistance, also whoever had the most people left at the end would receive a gift from Percy, the Palace seemed strange when it was so quiet and empty, normally full of thousands of monsters roaming around it was a pleasant feeling to Percy, the only monsters left were his squad, Percy was originally going to split his most powerful monsters between the other squads but the Immortals (I'm going to refer to the humans under Percy's command as Immortals) refused to take them, saying that Percy should have his own group of monsters as he was their god, also it would give other monsters something to strive towards if they believed they could rise in ranks and join Percy's squad, the squads were organised by how powerful they were, Percy's was the strongest, below him were Luke and Bianca, below them were the rest of the squads who were all really equal unless in certain situations that they were suited towards.

In Percy's squad was the Nemean lion, Mrs O'Leary, Orthrus, Pierce, Hydrakon, Ladon, Flamethrower and The Guardians. he trained them all personally and they all excelled in combat, Percy had also taught them to be able to analyse a situation themselves, if they relied on him constantly then they weren't going to be much use to him, they would be the ones to go behind enemy lines in any wars and if that was the case they would need to have intuition,

Percy teleported to where Artemis had told Bianca the hunters were being held, he appeared in front of a cave that had almost golden walls, he could see they were shining which he guessed was caused by the light Hyperion gave off reflecting off the walls, Percy slowly walked to the cave entrance "Titan Hyperion, I come with a message, do not attack or it will be an act of war, my master wishes to make a deal with you" the cave walls slowly got brighter and Percy could hear Hyperion's foot-steps, his guardians were in front of him, he wanted to appear weak to Hyperion, Percy had his monsters crowd around him, and he had them brush against him occasionally and when they did he would move around, acting scared of the monsters around him, "What do you want Immortal?" Percy had dampened the amount of power he released, all gods released small amount of energy constantly, it was by how powerful this small amount was that you can tell the strength of a god,

"My master the god of monsters heard a rumour you had taken the hunters of Artemis as hostages, they attacked our camp and killed quite a few monsters, leaving almost half of our army dead, but if it is true you have them hostage my master will give you half of our current army and you even get to keep the hunters, I simply have to speak with them privately, make sure they aren't some sort of illusion" Hyperion laughed, "and how many is a half of your current army?" Hyperion was smirking, thinking that the weak immortal in front of him would make a good hostage "you would receive maybe two thousand monsters in four days' time, I would spend maybe fifteen minutes getting confirmation and then I would return to my masters base, we will spend the next day organizing what monsters we can afford to give you and then they would take two days to get here, they have been trained to travel only as fast as the slowest person so nobody is left behind, yes this takes more time but we are all immortal and that way you have an army arriving on your doorstep loyal to you instead of a bunch of monsters randomly appearing every now and then"

Percy could see Hyperion had fallen for the trick, a thousand monsters was a massive force in comparison to the small amount of demigods alive in this time period, Percy used his last trick, he turned around and started walking back to the forest, "Of course if you don't want to then I will return now" Percy smirked "wait, you can see the hunters, but why must you spend some time alone with them?" "My master has been doing some dealing with you kin, a few hunters over-heard him, he gave me a magic item that could erase specific memories, and he doesn't want the gods to find out about how he plans to attack Poseidon's castle alongside Oceanus" Hyperion laughed, it made sense, he nodded once then walked and leaned against a tree, he created a bubble of light around himself and made it solid, no sound could travel through,

Percy entered the cave and the hunters were glaring at him, it wasn't until then that he remembered he had a hooded cloak on and the hood was up, "we didn't hear anything, so you can leave" of course it would be Phoebe, "that because there was no such plan, one of the sea monsters told me that Oceanus was slayed by the Kraken, he tried doing business with it then betrayed the monster, monsters don't take betrayal lightly," Phoebe glared at him "so what are you here for, and who are you?" "Percy flicked his hood down, his monsters were waiting at the entrance to the cave forming a wall of bodies, "Artemis asked me to rescue you, the Olympians refused to help her, they decided it was better for Olympus of you weren't around, after all the trouble you have caused lately they thought it wasn't worth risking other people to save you, Artemis begged Bianca to get somebody to rescue you, Bianca convinced me." Phoebe glared at Percy, "so free us then, gods boys can do anything right" before I came here I spoke with Artemis, it was decided the best way for me to not have to destroy her in a war that Artemis can't win is that you all swear an oath I have written, you may choose to say the oath or not I'm not forcing you, just know that anyone who doesn't say the oath will be left here" the hunters glared at Percy once more,

Percy handed them the written down oath, Phoebe read it quickly, looked Percy in the eye then read it aloud, "I Phoebe, hunter of Artemis, swear to never intentionally harm anybody who serves under Lord Perseus, may Lord Tartarus and The Fates certify this oath" the hunters each in turn took the oath, "All of you should sacrifice some food for The Fates and Tartarus, the last person to swear an oath on either of them and not give a sacrifice is still in Tartarus's personal dungeon, which is where you will go if you break the oath, Artemis knows this and agreed, now hopefully Zeus will cancel the stupid marriage idea" Percy clapped his hands twice and the hunters were teleported to Olympus.

Percy made his armour appear, it had been a while since he had fought another deity, he mentally messaged Ares asking if he wanted to spar at least twice a week, to help keep both of them in fighting fitness, Percy teleported all the monsters but Hydrakon and Flamethrower, As Percy walked back into the clearing he sent a pulse of power at Hyperion, the bolt hit and Hyperion's little bubble exploded, the pulse hit Hyperion in the abdomen and smashed him into the tree behind him so hard it cracked the trunk, "Hey light-bulb, long time no tree, whoops, I mean long time no see" Percy smirked as he saw Hyperion getting angrier and angrier, normally he was serious but Hyperion was very strong, so making him angry made him lose focus, two horses ran out of the forest, Percy thought they were horses until he realised that one was made of fire and the other seemed to be made of pure silver, "ooh he feels strong, and the creatures with him smell like him, that means they are loyal, think he is like father?" Percy could hear the flame horse, who seemed to be talking to the silver horse, "maybe, they smell just like him which means they spend a lot of time together and they are only thinking of protecting their master, so he must be a good master, and Helios wasn't your father idiot he simply created you, like Selene created me" Hydrakon turned to stand so he was facing them, Percy and Flamethrower continued facing Hyperion "I am your master, attack them you stupid horses" Hyperion demanded, "no horses are dumb, they simply do not follow orders of somebody who they do not like, you two, continue on your original path, we will not attack you if you don't attack us, kidnapping the hunters of Artemis was wrong, even if I really don't like them" Percy could hear the thoughts that Hydrakon and Flamethrower were thinking, they had entered what he called 'battle-mode' so all he could hear from them was "Must Protect Master!" repeated over and over again.

"You continue, we will simply watch." Percy nodded his head while Hydrakon turned to face Hyperion, Percy drew riptide and his the black sword Briaries made for him, he was in fight mode now, everything around him slowed down, Hyperion moved in slow motion but the monsters by his side weren't Percy slashed Hyperion's chest, he then ran around Hyperion slashing none stop, Hyperion started chanting in the language of the Titans and a glowing white ball appeared in his hand, Percy knew it was a curse meant to incinerate the soul, Hyperion threw the glob of white power, it was heading towards Hydrakon, Percy used what power he had left, when he dampened his powers he basically let the power out of himself, and he had constantly been using his powers in the ten minutes he had been attacking Hyperion's extremely thick exterior, and he was seriously lacking in stamina with his time powers, Percy started time again and was hit by the ball of power, just as he fell Mrs O'Leary appeared out of the forest shadows, she lunged at Hyperion, biting into his shoulder, he laughed, until Pierce ran up Mrs O'Leary's back, ran over her head and sat on Hyperion's chest, Pierce then stabbed both his stingers into Hyperion's eyes.

Hyperion burst into orange gold, he wasn't going to form for a long time, the poison of a pit scorpion make an immortal unable to start reforming until the poison is gone, which take roughly a thousand years from one sting, the poison reacts with the ichor, self-replicating itself, and since Hyperion was stung twice, he was gone for a while, Percy was barely conscious, he knew who was around him, he drew as much power from his domains as he could and teleported himself and his squad to the throne room, he also summoned Apollo and fell into unconsciousness
