Aj: Don't kill me! I'm sorry for not updating in like a week, but I'm an idiot but who cares got me hooked onto Maximum Ride so I had to finish the whole series before I could update so go kill her! Here's your long awaited chapter and for all of you Maximum Ride fans I will post a Maximum Ride story after I complete the sequel to my other story Apollo's Hunters. Yes there will be a sequel to that! Here's Chapter whatever chapter we're on now!
Percy's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe this. First, I wake up with skeleton warriors surrounding me and I'm told that I lost my memory. Then I get kidnapped along with Nico and we were forced to hold up the sky unless we wanted the other killed. Then, I get lost in the labyrinth and almost sold back to the titans. As if that weren't enough, my best friend, Sam, turned out to be one of Kronos' little meanies. Then Annabeth had to fight Sam the poison demon and Sam cheated with Greek fire and blew us up. Is it impossible for me to die? Then she kidnapped Annabeth. Then me…again.
This is just what every fourteen year old has to go through I guess. What are you going to do? I guess that psychotic titans from Greek mythology and evil traitors are just drawn to kids my age. All a part of growing up I guess. It might help that my dad is Poseidon and there's a prophecy probably revolving around me, but no biggie. It's not like monsters attack me and an evil titan lord tries to get you to be his host by holding your best friend hostage, oh wait…that does happen. At this moment Kronos, who just happens to be my grandpa (he owes me 14 birthday presents by the way) is trying to force me to help him with the downfall of the Olympian gods. Just something every grandpa asks you I guess.
"Well Percy, what's it going to be? You or Annabeth?" Kronos asked in his spine chilling voice. "Don't you ever get tired of being evil?" I stalled. Luke glared at me and then smiled evilly. This wouldn't be good. That's when I saw why he was smiling, Sam was gone. In an instant, her hands pinned mine behind my back. "Get away from him!" Annabeth ordered Sam weakly. Sam of course paid no attention and ignored her. "This is not good." I commented.
Nobody had time to respond though because Bianca, Tyson, Nico, and Grover soon ran up panting. "Peeeeerrrrrrcccccccyyyyyy!" Grover bleated running towards me ahead of the others. He tried to tackle Sam off of me, but she sidestepped and Grover tripped on her foot…into the open coffin. "Grover!" Bianca, Nico, and I yelled as the lid came on him and trapped him with Kronos. "Goat boy!" Tyson hollered. Annabeth squinted in pain miserably because of the poison and the loss of Grover. "This is terrible!" Luke shouted. "That klutz ruined our plan to control the prophecy! Now Kronos is stuck inside of a satyr!"
"Wait. I thought you had to bathe in the river Styx to take a titan into your body." Sam commented. "That's for people with human blood, the satyr just has satyr blood so Kronos is now stuck inside of him." Luke answered disgusted.
"Get Kronos out of Goat boy!" Tyson bellowed ferociously surprising everyone. At this point Luke had let go of Annabeth and she was cradled in a ball on the rocks. I kneed Sam and when she let go of me I ran to check on Annabeth. "How o we cure her?" I asked Luke angrily. Bianca and Nico looked paler than usual. "She's fading, we have to do something quick." Nico announced rushing to Annabeth's side. Luke hadn't even noticed us, only the figure rising from the coffin that was Grover.
"Grover?" I asked until I saw his gold eyes. It wasn't the gold that made you want to look at them, it was a gold that was filled with evil and longed for revenge. Grover/Kronos looked at me coldly. "Hello Jackson, watching your girlfriend die I see." He scowled.
"She's not my girlfriend." Was all I was able to say. He sneered at me. "Castellan! Armstrong! What day is it?" Kronos asked Sam and Luke. "August 5th." Luke answered. I didn't breathe as soon as he had said that. "I'm almost 15?" I asked the others. "No boy you were dead for months, you're almost 16." Kronos/Grover answered coldly. I looked at the others in shock and they seemed as confused as I was. "Brother died?" Tyson asked blubbering. "It was only one month!" Bianca protested. Grover/Kronos laughed evilly. "We paused you and your camp for months in time so we could resurrect the boy peacefully and nobody would know that time has passed." He explained.
Bianca and Nico froze. "You…resurrected…Percy?" Nico asked shaking from fear of something. "Why do I have the feeling that you guys know something that I don't?" I asked. "Percy, if someone resurrects you then you have to follow orders from them with your life." Bianca answered. "The rules state that you now have to join Kronos." Nico finished glaring at Grover/Kronos. "What!" I yelled. Luke smirked and dragged me away from Annabeth by the back of my shirt that was already in rags from the explosion.
"Welcome to the titans army Jackson." He greeted.
"I'm not joining you no matter what the rules say. There's no way you can get me to join you!" I growled.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice." Luke retorted. He then tossed Bianca a bottle that said Antidote. She hesitantly poured it into Annabeth's mouth and she began to cough and wake up. "What happened?" She asked confused. I tried struggling against Luke, but he had a good grip and restrained me. I knew there was one way out, but it required a sacrifice. Kronos/Grover was getting ready to attack my friends and I remembered something Luke told me when I was 12. 'Grover messes up everything he touches. He even confused the curse.'
Let's hope that he can mess up Kronos' curse I thought. There was a rock ledge above him that looked loose, if I could knock it down maybe Kronos would be knocked out of him. The sacrifice you ask. The rock ledge was hanging over me too. I kicked Luke where I knew it would hurt then as he crumpled in pain I ran and stuck Riptide where the boulders could come loose and topple. Kronos turned around just as huge boulders started to topple. "Go! Run!" I yelled as my friends noticed what would happen to me. "Percy! You'll die!" Annabeth yelled trying to convince me to let go of my hold on Riptide. "It's the only way! I should have died anyways before." I answered. "Go! For me!" I pleaded. She was about to refuse but she saw the serious look on my face so she nodded sadly and ran with the others away from Mt. Tam. just as the ledge crumpled and I was buried in a tomb of stone, encased forever.
Aj: Gasp! Thanks to The Random Person for the idea of Grover possessed by Kronos. So did this chapter make up for the late update? Remember that was entirely I'm An Idiot But Who Cares' fault so attack her. As for me killing off Percy, well…let's see how many attempted murders are aimed at me. If there are a lot then I'll add a twist, if not I'll put one more chapter in this story then complete it so you better review! Also, I put a new poll on my profile so vote on that. That's about it! Review or else this story will be completed soon! Bye! –Aj.
