Hey guys- I'm going to try character POVS for this part. It is kind of important so bare with me.

Chapter 12-

Cassidy POV:

It seems as though wherever I go with Lady Nicole, something happens. I went from being a prisoner on her "father's" castle to becoming a somewhat legend throughout Olympus. I wondered about Percy, Annabeth and Nico. Did they know what happened to me now? That I wasn't killed in the Last Battle, but captured? I wonder what happened to Percy about his dad. Maybe he would be there. "Hey guys, can I borrow an Iris coin?" I asked cautiously. We weren't that far away actually, but who knows.

"Of course." My father told me, throwing one back, barely missing Erik's ear.

Nikki looked over at me and started making another little waterfall with a miniature rainbow. "O, goddess accept my offer. Show me Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Nico di Angelo."

I could see them as the message opened; Percy was busy creating and destroying a little statue of water. It looked somewhat like his father. Annabeth was pooling over some blueprints. No surprise there, her wish to become an architect come true. Nico was messing around with sword; I was lucky, they were all in the same place.

"Hey guys." I told the three through the message. They all looked up at me, shock running through their faces.

Percy was the first to speak. "The rumors are true?"

Annabeth smacked him on the head. "Of course Sea-Weed Brain! He's sitting right in front of you!"

"Dude- you didn't die!" Nico said in awe. "We all thought..."

I nodded. "I was only captured. Where are you guys?"

"We are in Athena's study awaiting a new goddess's return." Percy told me. "We get to witness the becoming of a goddess."

Nikki rolled her eyes. "I'm already a goddess. I get to know what I am a goddess of now." Nikki told the Iris message in the background.

"You're with her. Annabeth stated as I nodded towards the back.

"We're almost to Olympus. I'll explain everything later." I turned towards Nico. "See ya half-brother." The color drained from his face. I laughed and close the message.

"So the son of Hades is best friends with the three who saved the world. How am I not surprised?"

"Because I'm that cool."

"Who's my god parents?"

"Soon we will find out." My father told the inpatient goddess. "We're almost there.

I looked up; above us was a newly remodeled marble building, with a statue of Zeus and Hera waiting outside the gates. With every pillar there was a god or goddess. Annabeth probably designed it.

Artemis and a girl were standing at the front, waiting for us. When Hades parked the chariot, the girl ran out from beneath the columns. She wrapped Erik and Nikki into a group hug. "You're not dead, either of you."

"Well thanks for the faith in us."

She drew back and laughed; then she looked away from the two. "Casey's not with me."

Nikki patted the girl in the back, "Don't worry he's coming. Actually he already teleported in there." She looked at Artemis. "Is it time?"

"Yes it is."

Nikki POV-

I patted Phoebe on the back, "Don't worry he's coming. Actually, he already teleported in there." Poor girl. She loved him, and they are fighting. I looked at my lady, "Is it time?"

She nodded. "They're ready for you. Phoebe- go ahead. I want to speak to Nikki alone for a moment." She nodded and walked into the throne room with Erik and Cassidy leading the way.

"She didn't join, did she." I asked her as we sat down for a moment.

"Her love for him is too strong. But I will say, she almost did when they fought. They fought over her coming with us to save you. Looks like you didn't need any saving at all."

I shrugged. "I guess not."

"But I want to say before we go in- whatever your destiny is, the Hunters and I will always be there for you." She slipped her a coin. "This will never be lost. It keeps itself from being lost, and it only appears in your pocket when you are in dire need."

I bowed to the goddess. "Thank you my lady."

"Are you ready?"

"I am my lady." She nodded and then led me through the door, as soon as I walked in applause erupted from everywhere. From Zeus to even Mr. D they were applauding for me. I blushed- hey I couldn't help it!

When the applause died down, Zeus began to speak. I saw as two demi-gods sat by their godly parents. One however, a son of Poseidon I could tell, sat by Mr. D. Phoebe was by her mother; Erik sat beside Zeus; Casey kind of sat with Hermes.

"Nicole, it is a miracle that you are here today."

"It is a miracle I'm still alive."

Zeus nodded. "We have been keeping your true parents, your abilities, your true ability and your fate away from you in order to protect you."

"You mean to stop the prophecy from happening. It doesn't work anymore." The boy by Mr. D grinned at this. I guess he's wanted to say that too.

"Once again, you are correct. It wasn't the smartest idea, and it almost killed you." Zeus answered back, no anger in his voice. "What question do you want answered?"

"Who are my parents?"

"I am your mother." A wise voice called from across the room. The blond hair girl with grey eyes had shock written all over her face as Athena proclaimed herself to be my mother.

"The reason you gave me the ring."

She nodded. "And your father is Hermes." He grinned from across the room.

"I've been wanting to tell you, but your mother wouldn't let me." Hermes told me grinning. I got why they helped me on quests so much.

Zeus cleared his throat. "You can discuss this later."

"How come I'm able to control water without being a daughter of Poseidon?" I asked.

"Because-" Then the building shook. "Because you are really a goddess of powers."

"What?!"

"You can use any power any god can use. That's why."

Zeus walked over towards me. He placed his lightning bolt sword on my shoulder as I knelt beneath him. "As Ruler of God's I officially declare you the goddess of power."

And then everyone disappeared on me. I mean I couldn't see them. All I could see was blackness.

"Rise up and accept your role."

I stood up, my sight returning to me slowly. "I accept the pros and cons of being a goddess. I accept the fate that comes with it. I accept all the things that will happen to me."

My uncle smiled at me. "You are now a goddess."

I walked up to the four demi-gods as soon as everyone had finished congratulating me. Erik had seen me going towards him and ran after me. Phoebe came and flanked me as Casey walked right by Erik.

My half sister was right next to the green-eyed boy. By them were two more demi-gods. The girl had black hair and blue eyes that matched Erik's almost perfectly. The boy had dark black hair and eyes so dark of a brown that it was almost too hard to tell the difference between the color and pupil.

"Hello." The green eyed one said as I walked up.

"Who are you? And why are you here?"

"I wasn't sure if the next batch of heroes could take what was coming." He told her simply.

"Just because you decided to give Luke the knife does not give you the ability to say whether or not we're ready." Casey told him shortly. I laughed silently in my head. So this was the great three. Sitting beside the three was Thalia, leader of the hunters.

"And what have you done to save Nikki?" The blue-eyed girl asked sending static in the air.

"Lady Nicole to you, Thalia Grace." I told her shortly.

"He stood up to his father. Something Percy could have done since he was there when she was brought in." My half sister said turning towards Thalia. She stuck out her hand. "I'm sorry for them, they're just mad they aren't the ones saving the world this time. I'm happy for the peace and quiet. I'm Annabeth."
I shook her hand. "I'm Nikki. Erik, Casey and Phoebe are behind me." For some reason Phoebe and Casey shot each other the death glare. "And trust me- I wish that you guys would have the saving the day stuff."

Percy laughed right as Mr. D walked up. "Well isn't it nice. The great three meets the new great four. New heroes meeting old heroes."

"Nikki, would you like to have a duel?" Percy asked looking at me. "Winner gets to finish the prophecy."

Apollo, who was eavesdropping, butted in when he said that. "Prophecies are only made for one person, you can't just hand them over."

I laughed. "I was pretty sure someone who had one would know." But I thought for a second. "How about this. I win, you quit being so cocky over being one of the great three."

"And if I win?"

"One in a million chance." Erik told him before I could finish.

"IF you win. You can come on the quest. Bring one person. Deal?"

He stuck out his hand I shook. "Deal."

"At camp- 20mins."

"Got it."

And with that they vanished. Casey smacked me upside the head first. "What the hell are you thinking? Percy is a son of Poseidon. Who knows what could happen."

"You of all people should know not to judge a person by their parent."

"You're not going to let any of us take your place, are you?"

"Nope." I told them popping the p. "I made the deal. Plus I want him to feel humiliated losing to a girl." I took out my ring, twisted it as Erik, Casey and Phoebe took the cue to leave.

"Nicole, what's wrong?" My mother asked appearing right next to me.

"Fight. Mom, why is Percy so hot headed? He doesn't even seem to remember who I am. I'm worried."

She looked surprised for a moment. "Wait, he's not being normal?"

I nodded.

"Be careful, I suspect foul play. And whatever you do, don't kill yourself."

"I don't think Erik would let me."

"True, but you never know."

I nodded, then took a step and was at camp. Looking around, I saw that nothing had really changed at all.

"So you're ready for an ass kicking?" I heard from a voice from behind my back.

"You mean you are." I told him as I turned.

"No shields?"

"Fine by me."

He smiled a devious smile. I looked over at Annabeth, she seemed puzzled and was whispering to Erik something. He jumped up, but right then Percy struck his first swipe.

Easily, I blocked it. This was way too easy... He came at me again, trying to swipe my sword out, but I was quicker. All I had to do was counter his attack and knock his sword to the ground. I put my sword up to his neck. "You lost."

He just grinned. "But the battle's just begun."

Two hellhounds came right towards me. "You're not Percy." I said as I blocked a hellhound. A silver arrow came streaming out from behind me and was attacking the other one.

"About time you figured that out."

3rd Person POV:

"What the hell happened to Percy?" Thalia asked as two hellhounds attacked Nikki. She blocked one as Thalia shot an arrow at the other, but only wounding it.

"Annabeth- stay back. Got it?" Nico told the blond. "If he wants an easy way to surrendering, whoever it is would attack you. Stay here with Thalia."

She could only nod. Phoebe hit a charm and drew two bows and quivers. "Do you know how to shoot?"

"Yeah, not the best but I'm good enough."

"Here, then take this one." Phoebe handed her the extra one as Nico, Erik and Casey jumped off the stadium and ran where the two hellhounds were attacking her while she was trying to fight "Percy" at the same time. After handing the bow to Annabeth, she collapsed her bow and turned it into a sword. It was silver like pure moonlight and looked razor sharp.

Annabeth shot an arrow- narrowly missing the hellhound. Phoebe jumped off of the stadium and slashed at the hellhound Casey was fighting off.

"Go back up there."

"Don't even try to make me, Casey." She told him as it attacked her. He pushed her out of the way, getting bit by the hellhound that landed on top of her. She thrust her sword into its side and it yelped. A shower of arrows hit it finally killing it. The monster's blood and dust covered Casey and Phoebe.

Casey pushed himself up, wincing when he put pressure on his left arm- the arm he was bit. He dodged an undead fighter falling and made his way to Phoebe. "Are you okay?"

She coughed. "I'm fine." She tried to sit up, but then she yelped in pain.

"Your ribs. They're broken." Casey said. "I've got to get you back to Thalia. She can heal you, or Annabeth."

Nikki had gotten a shot in at "Percy and had ran to try to save the two from the other hellhound- but Nico beat her to it. Thalia and Erik threw lightning bolts around where Casey and Phoebe were, trying to protect them from Percy, who was everywhere almost. Nikki was trying to keep up with her, and luckily having Hermes speed, she was able to a little bit.

Suddenly Nikki was on the ground, but knocked over was Percy and a Yankees ball cap.

My ball cap Annabeth thought to herself. He stole it from me and used it against my own sister!

Erik was suddenly in front of her. Protecting Nikki, who's blade had been hit by the blow and was a few feet away. They locked eyes for half a second, and she tugged on an invisible string on her upper arm.

Out came her regular sword, Tidewater.

"Annabeth." Cassidy yelled running up to the two, his hand holding a pen. "What the hell is going on?"

"Percy isn't Percy. It's someone else!"

Cassidy grinned. "I know it isn't. I've tried to warn you through Iris message. Half brother- I meant I treated Nico like a half-brother. Not that Cassidy was one."

Thalia cocked an arrow and pointed it towards Cassidy. "Then who are you?"
