Sup guys, I'm back after a long intermission. I had really bad writer's block there for a good time but now I'm back and ready to give a good crack at it eh? Well, here is the chapter most have waited for, some have highly anticipated, and few that just sat there looking at the screen and clicking the refresh hoping to see the new chapter. Jk, I know I'm not that important and everyone has a life, I hope. Any way, here it is!

Percy's P.O.V

I reconstructed in front of the throne room doors and pushed them open. All the gods were already there, including Jason and Nico. They were standing in the middle waiting for me. As I approached them, Artemis flashed into her throne. She looked annoyed, I guess she does have a right to be. I ignored it for now and looked at Zeus, "Zeus, we need to discuss the war. I know Kronos's next move, and by extension, Gaia's next move. They plan to destroy camp half-blood. They plan to do the same with camp Jupiter. Without the demigods in the way, her plans will run all the more smoother. We have a plan to stop this but I need your consent."

Zeus looked deep in thought. Athena whispered in his ear. He nodded as she sat down. He nodded at us to continue. "Gaia plans to use the Labyrinth to get through the border at CHB and attack from there. The entrance is between some boulders that makes up Zeus's fist. A quest needs to be issued to find Daedalus. His life is tied to the Labyrinth, so if we find and kill him, we bring down the Labyrinth and destroy the enemy's only way into CHB."

"But how is he alive? Shouldn't he have died thousands of years ago?" Apollo asked.

"That is a very good question. I can not answer though for I do not know how he has survived but he has." I replied.

"Then who will be on this quest?" Poseidon asked me.

"Another good question, the answer to that is that Nico, Jason, Thalia, Zoe-" I couldn't finish my sentence for I was cut off by Zeus standing from his throne with a murderous look on his face. He yelled, "No! I will not let a Titan spawn on a quest such as this one! Choose another!"

How dare he! How dare he judge her like that! If it were not for her, the quest to save Artemis would have never been completed and he would be minus one daughter. He can't judge her based on parentage, if that were the case then half of the council should be killed. My guess was that Jason and Nico felt the same for they began glowing just as I had. When the god blinding glow died, all three of us were in a set of full battle armor that could only be categorized under pure, unadulterated, badass.

My armor was black with a sea green chest plate with intricate black carni nivings running across it. It extended into shoulder pads that looked like a coral reef. My hands had sea green gauntlets on them. The fingers extended into points as did the knuckles. The forearm portion of the metal glove reminded one of retracting waves. I had black chainmail underneath the chest plate and on the underside of my arms. For bottoms, I had a set of matching, black armor pants. (I have no idea what the actual name of those are.) They stopped just below the knee where they met a set of sea green boots. These boots were not normal, instead of a point like a normal shoe, they had little flippers and on the back of the calf were dolphin like fins. (Think Aquaman) My sword was my symbol of power, my real one. The hilt and handle were made of pure sea rock. On the hilt you could see coral and tiny crustaceans crawling around. The blade looked like it was just a smooth and sharpened portion of the coral rock. It was not however, it was a metal one could only attain in the void. Its name is Chaos Metal, it has the ability to kill immortals, such as gods, titans, and primordials. Not just make them reform, I mean kill, force them to fade where they will be judged by Chaos himself It was as black as night and hung threateningly from my hip. My helmet was the kicker though. It was sea green. It had two holes cut out for my eyes and it covered my entire face. From my nose to chin there was a black face mask. On the back of the helmet, there was a crown formed from active underwater volcanoes. Like I said, badass. (Could someone draw me these please? I would but I cannot, for the life of me, draw humanoids. I suck at drawing things like this. I'd pay one of you guys, but I have no idea how that would work.)

Nico had completely black armor. His breastplate was jagged and spiked in random places like it was just a flat rock tore straight from the bottom of the underworld itself. It had cracks that ran criss cross all over his armor, the cracks glowed red like there was magma flowing just below the surface. His vambraces and gloves were skeletal but matched the rock theme. Same with his boots and pants. His fingers came to a point, like a claw and his boots looked like a skeletal T-rex foot, the bones stretching over the toe of his black boot. His sword was jagged just like his upper body, what completed the set was his helmet. It was designed to look like a demon's skull. ( And since I can't describe it like I imagine how it looks in my head, here is a link to one that is awfully close. skyrim/images/172725/?page=2&sort=DESC&pid=0&thread_id=854546 )

Jason's armor was more majestic, like a metal angel of death. His armor was all grey with sky blue highlights here and there. His breastplate was smooth, like traditional knight armor. His shoulders down were the same, but on his back were metal angel wings. He could stretch and retract them on will, and the feathers could be launched as projectiles. Much like Angel's wings, from Marvel's X-Men. His face was covered by a helmet similar to Hiccup's helmet in the second movie of How To Train Your Dragon. Instead the back was silver metal with a sky blue metal face mask. The rest of his armor was traditional knight armor. His weapons, however, were more unique. He held a long, yellow spear in his right hand. It's head was in the shape of a lightning bolt. It was a foot taller than him. On his left was a hoplite shield composed of condensed, swirling, storm clouds. There was a flash of lightning every once in awhile within the condensed cloud disk.

The gods sat in stunned/awed silence. Zeus blinked a few times but he finally found his bearings. He narrowed his eyes and summoned his master sparkler. He prepared to throw it when suddenly a black orb surrounded his throwing hand. He looked at it, shocked, and tried to pull his hand free but couldn't. I just smirked, however, and if I knew my brothers, they were too.

"Oh, put that thing away Zeus, before you hurt yourself." A deep, ancient voice said, resonating from everywhere. Zeus grew a deeper shade of red in anger. "Who dares interrupt this meeting?"

"That would be your great grandfather." The same voice said, but it no longer came from everywhere but more towards the front of the room. Everyone turned to find Lord Chaos standing there picking at his fingernails. Everyone just stared at him while he kept cleaning his nails. He finally looked up with a confused face. "What?" He asked like what he just did was an everyday occurrence. Nico, Jason, and I just shook our heads and sighed in exasperation.

"L-Lord Chaos, I apologize, I was not aware it was you." Zeus said trying to get back Chaos's good side.

"Really? The deep resonating voice coming from every direction was not big enough of a clue? An infant cyclops could figure that one out." everyone but Poseidon could keep a laugh in. Poseidon full out laughed in his brother's face.

"Any way, I suggest you listen to my sons here. If you don't, my wrath will be the least of your worries." Chaos continued after Poseidon's laughs died down. Zeus paled at Chaos's words. "Ok, that's all. Toodles." and with that, Chaos and the black orb around Zeus's hand disappeared. We three stayed in full armor mode, however, our auras remained strong enough to make a Titan seem feeble. The effect of all three of our auras seemed to be setting in as each god present paled as they finally realized the amount of power in front of them.

"Now, are you going to listen? Or decide our words are not good enough and drive us to the currently winning side!?" I yelled at Zeus, who seemed to pale beyond humanly possible at my words. He nodded quickly and sat down. "Good, now as I was saying. Nico, Jason, Thalia, Zoe, and I are going to be the quest members. We will search and destroy Daedalus, destroying Kronos's only way into camp and hopefully his army as well." The gods nodded in agreement. "Good, now if you'll excuse us, we have a camp we need to prepare for war." and with that, Nico, Jason, and I left the room.

I told the other two I was going to fetch Zoe, they nodded and teleported to camp. I turned into mist and traveled to Apollo's palace. I traveled through the vents and into the palace and reformed right in front of the door to Zoe's room in normal clothes. Just as I was about to open the door, it swung open and a solid object bumped into my front. I looked down to see a head of midnight black hair on my chest. I blushed when I realized that it was Zoe. She just stood there however, I coughed to get her attention. She looked up into my eyes, I saw hers widen as she finally realized who she had bumped into. Her face grew a heavy blush as she took a big step backwards really quickly.

"Uh- um- he-hello Percy. I see you are back from the meeting." I couldn't help but smile at her nervousness.

"Indeed, I am. I hope your conversation with Artemis went well." She nodded.

"Good, then get ready, we leave for Camp in 10 minutes." She looked like she was going to oppose but just nodded and closed the door. I left to make an IM to Jason and Nico. I walked to one of the many fountains on Olympus and conjured a rainbow. I took out a drachma and tossed it into the rainbow. "Lady Iris, please show me Jason Grace, Camp Half-blood."

After a couple seconds the auto tone voice of an answering machine came back and said, "Jason Grace could not be reached. Please deposit one drachma if you wish to make another call." I grunted in confusion. Jason would only not answer a call if he was dead or in extreme peril. I took out another drachma and tossed it into the rainbow. "Give me Nico Di Angelo, Camp Half-blood." A few seconds later I received the same response. I then began to worry. If both of my brothers couldn't answer, something must be terribly wrong.

I turned to run back to Zoe's room only to nearly run into her as she was right behind me ready to go. "Come on! Something has happened to Nico and Jason. I don't know what but it can't be good. Grab my arm." She did so with a slight blush. I then flashed us to Camp Half-blood once she had closed her eyes.

When we arrived, it was quite the sight. Fires were everywhere and buildings were crumbled. We ducked behind one of the burned walls of the Big House as an empousa walked past. We sneaked around camo, hiding when we had to so we could avoid as much conflict as possible. We didn't want to fight without knowing the entire situation first. I heard talking coming from the amphitheater. I grabbed Zoe's shoulder and shadow traveled us closer to the entrance. We hid behind a pillar and peered into the theatre.

There in the middle was most of the demigods chained and being held captive by 10 cyclops. I scanned the group to find Jason and Nico out cold on the ground in the very middle. They would've only been knocked out had they been ambushed and caught off guard. Chiron was also chained next to a passed out wine god. First thing after this is over is removing him from the council. I continued looking and found my godly brother and sister also chained. There were others but not as many as there should be. I looked behind me towards the camp grounds to find it littered with bodies. How had we missed that?

There was an ungodly screech as Kempe, the prison warden of Tartarus, cam flying in and landing in front of the demigods. There was a slight rumble as more monsters came marching in from the direction of Zeus' fist. I growled in frustration, "This isn't good. How did they get the drop on us?" I said to myself.

I turned to look at Zoe find her looking at me with worry. "What do we do?" She asked.

I looked around at my surroundings and then back to where everyone was held. I then sat back down against the crumbled wall. I had to think. I alone could take out all of the monsters present, but with the constant reinforces coming from wherever, I'd need help. But with only Zoe as backup, it won't be enough. I sighed and looked back at Zoe and took in the details of her face. Her beautiful coppery skin, volcanic eyes and her long, dark hair. But then it hit me.

"I know what to do, come on!" I took her hand and summoned a shadow to swallow us. The next moment, we were outside Artemis' tent. I quickly let go of Zoe's hand considering the large amount of hunters suddenly in front of me with bows knocked and raised. "Get out of my way, I must speak with Artemis."

"Not on your life, male." said a brown haired, blood red eyed huntress daughter of Ares. I growled and flicked my wrist causing all of their bows to turn to dust. I then lowered my face to look in her fear filled eyes, "I said, get out of my way." She just nodded and moved aside.

I knocked on the tent post and waited for a response. "Enter." came the muffled reply. I opened the tent flap and stepped in with Zoe following me, with a slightly worried look in her eyes. I turned to her before we could fully enter and told her to stay outside and socialize with her sisters, and that I wouldn't be long.

I stepped in to find the tent walls bare of their usual winter pelts, but because of the summer heat, they were taken down. Artemis was sitting on her bed and petting the head of a golden doe. "Lady Artemis, we need help, Camp Half-blood has been overrun by monsters and my brothers were caught off guard and knocked out. I'm not strong enough to keep the constant supply of reinforcements, that I'm pretty sure is coming from the entrance to the Labyrinth that is located within camp, at bay. I kindly request your help."

She just stared at me in shock, "Why didn't you just IM me? This should've been handled immediately! Come on!"

She rushed past me and out of her tent and began giving orders. Eventually everyone was ready, so I opened up a portal into a secluded part of camp. We came out in the forest, not far from the amphitheater. The hunters were to sit in the trees and silently take out monsters to slowly shorten their numbers. While I would sneak in and do the same from the ground until I could get close enough to free the campers. With that, we went into motion.

Zoe jumped up into the trees with her sisters, where I knew she would be safe. I got low to the ground and pulled my hood up. I snuck up behind the closest Cyclops. I pulled a pitch black hunting knife out and silently slit his throat. Then ducked behind the wall he was posted at as he crumbled into golden dust. A few other monsters had set up a fire close to the amphitheater but on the far side. Knowing that I couldn't be seen easily, I summoned my bow and knocked a special arrow. It was designed by Chaos to explode on contact with flame. I stood, took aim, and fired. The explosion killed the surrounding monsters and attracted the others, all going to the same spot for easy pickings. Once most of the monsters were at the spot of the explosion, silver arrows rained down on them, killing most of the present forces.

That didn't last long however since more just came rushing from the forest. I would be forced into open combat soon, so why not take some out till then? I grabbed some Greek fire grenades and began throwing them into the horde. Their numbers crumbled in the green flames. They eventually took notice of my location and began marching my way but I just stood and pulled my bow out again. I began firing explosive and flammable gas arrows into the monsters. A gas arrow would hit and cover them with gas then an explosive arrow followed causing an even bigger explosion than a normal bang arrow (needed a shorter name for exploding arrows) but they just kept coming. I couldn't fire enough arrows to keep them at bay for long.

Before they were upon me I caused an earthquake throughout the entire camp except for the hunter's position and any semi intact buildings. The monsters stumbled on themselves and I took action. Wielding Anaklusmos like a gust of wind from Hell, I tore through their lines.

Eventually all of the other monsters from around the camp began to notice the commotion. The once small horde I was dealing with quickly became an army. I was a plume of golden dust in the midst of the army. Any monster that got too close was picked off by an arrow placed in vital areas. But out of nowhere, all of the monsters backed off. I was highly confused until the army split in front of me, making a path for one large mother fucker. "Iapetus, you undead bastard, what brings you here?" I sneered at the Titan of the West and Mortality. He just chuckled at me and crossed his armored arms across his chest as he stared at me from across the army.

"I am very much alive, sea spawn. I'm just here to visit, you know, the tourist thing. See the sights, hit the town, kill the camp, you know, the norm. I'm actually here for you, little brother tasked me with keeping you busy while his army ravages the camp." He smiled a perfect smile. I let loose a deep growl.

"How did you get my brothers?"

"Quite easy actually, all I had to do was bonk them over the head real good, and poof! There goes their consciousness. Pretty simple, really." The titan's easygoing attitude was angering me beyond reason. Had it been anyone else, my attitude would match, but we're talking about my family here. The bastard is going to die for laying his hands on anyone.

I glared at him as hard as I could, satisfied that his smile vanished, a slight look of fear in his eyes. I capped Riptide and held my hand put in front of me. A white light began to glow from my hand. It moved up my arm, covering me in my armor until my entire body was covered. In my hand, my sea stone sword formed. It's presence radiating power. Some of the monsters even looked down in submission and backed up in fear. Even Kempe had froze in fear. Iapetus just looked on in shock, but that quickly faded as he drew a javelin. Seriously, what is it with titans and their spear like weapons?

"You want to go tiny man?" He mocked as he settled into a ready pose. I growled and rose my sword. "Then let's go! Come at me!" I complied and charged at him and jumped well above his head, prepared to bring my sword down on his head.

-.-.-.-.-.- daaaang -.-.-.-.-.-.-

Well, that was quite the chapter. Longest one yet I believe. Sorry for the long wait, and sorry for ending it on a cliff hanger…. LoL, jk, no I'm not. Anyway, till next time frens.

PEACE!
