aratakasugatrinity7: Uh no. Chaos is the most powerful being. Chaos is the source of all power and existence.
The Gods aren't toddlers that have yet to learn how to hold a spoon .-. They are gods after all and are quite formidable. Neither girl deserves to be with Percy if they ate just going to be violent and abusive... Percy is too much of an douche bag. The story is extremely enjoyable aside from that. I am also like Zoe so far. I think they suit each other well.
Ok. This is probably the first comment(s) that has ever actually pissed me off. First off, this is an AU STORY. Name me one god damn story that has an OC that is actually in Greek Mythology. Also, I never said that Chaos wasn't the ultimate being. Second, the gods are not toddlers. I never said they were. What they ARE, is manipulative, arrogant, pompous, and ignorant. Which is almost as bad. There are many stories that show the gods in a much worse light than I have. Third, I don't care if you think they shouldn't be together. The polls were cast and the pairing was decided. I believe that Percabeth should never have happened because the same shit happens between those two except Annabeth does it because she has an issue with her hubris. Lastly, how in the actual fuck is Percy being a douchebag? Helping the gods fight against a primordial? Helping Jason fight off Titans and traveling to Tartarus with him? Gathering allies for the gods? Undoing millennia old mistakes? Please inform me of just what the hell you are talking about. I accept constructive criticism or outright "I don't like it". But talking false shit about my story is one thing I do NOT allow.
Rikes:
Proud of his titles but doesn't brag ?
Perseus Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Champion of Nyx, Kronos, Ananke, and Hestia. Retriever of the Master Bolt, Retriever of the Golden Fleece, Holder of the Sky, Ex-Praetor of New Rome, Survivor of Tartarus, Bane of Kronos, the Minotaur, Titans, Gaia, and Gigantes, Twice Savior of Olympus, and Time-traveller, dares interrupt the Council of the Gods!"
Right
Ok. You have a point, but let's be honest...who wouldn't try to outdo Zeus at least once when you have that many titles? Besides, he's just cutting him off in the best way possible. You think Zeus will sit down and listen to reason immediately after finding someone infiltrating their meeting?
Anyways, onto the news.
I've got two votes so far for the story choice.
I got one vote for the Avengers PJO Xover and one vote for Assassin's Creed PJO Xover.
Next chapter will take a bit as I am fixing up old chapters' mistakes and fixing some plot issues.
Enjoy this chapter, leave a review of what story you want next, vote for the story, and I'll see y'all whenever I get another chance to write up a chapter.
Story idea poll:
Assassin's Creed Xover-Pretty massive AU
Instead of being at Camp Half Blood, Percy went to Camp Jupiter. Instead of Kronos attacking the Empire State Building, he tries to rebuild Mount Othrys first. And instead of winning against Kronos, Percy Jackson inadvertently destroys Kronos' throne when blocking a strike from Backbiter. The two sources of power create a time warp where Percy is sent back into a different reality and time period. Percy lives through the eyes of famous assassins such as Altaïr and Ezio. Will he be able to beat Kronos this time? Or will he be doomed to continue this cycle?
Avengers Xover- Natasha X Percy or Percy X Wanda
Percy leaves the godly world behind after Gaia destroys camp half-blood via Octavian and a shit ton of Greek Fire bombs. Living with his parents and his best friend Thalia, things seemed peaceful for once. Until aliens poured from the sky and the streets of New York became a battleground...again.

Percy POV
Stepping out of the Poseidon Cabin, I felt the breeze gently caress my face. The scent of saltwater and the sand caused a small smile to grace my face. I walked to the campfire, hoping to have a conversation with the currently pouting 8 year old goddess poking at it.
"Lady Hestia. What has you down today?" I ask her, sitting down on a log next to her. She tilts her head towards me with a small frown on her face.
"Something feels off in the air Perseus," I flinch at the use of my full name. She has never used it before which instantly set me on guard. "I can't tell what it is. It doesn't seem necessarily evil, but it has been affecting the flames." She points to the fire that did in fact seem smaller than usual.
"Do you think it will be a fight, my lady?" I ask, glancing around at the campers that are going about their morning routines.
"If I were to guess so, I don't believe it is yet."
My eyes flick over to meet hers. "What do you mean 'yet' Hestia?" I ask lowly, a small edge to my voice at the thought of a fight occurring again.
She smiles slightly at my tone before schooling her features.
"There seems to be a Titan approaching the camp from the northwest. It isn't showing any malintent in its aura." She pauses, thinking of how to word what she was trying to say.
"It has a plan, and it seems that the Titan is willing to do anything to accomplish it." She finishes tightly, putting heavy emphasis on 'anything'.
"I will go and inform Chiron, my lady." I respond, pausing slightly to look around before taking off towards the Big House. Campers jump out of my way as I bolt past them. I see some young campers training with each other out of the corner of my eye which brings a small bittersweet smile to my face. They are so young yet exude the hope and confidence of a veteran. I vault up the three steps of the Big House and swiftly enter the building.
"Chiron! I've got news!" I immediately call out, before coming to a halt when I see there was a meeting happening.
Seems like even though I'm the Demigod of Time, I still can't keep track of it.
"Percy my boy. Glad you could finally join us." my mentor says, eyes glinting with mirth as he gestures for my to continue.
The room chuckles at my tardiness before sobering up at the remembrance of my announcement.
"What is happening Kelp Head?" Thalia asks.
I look around at the camp counselors, before nodding my head. "When I left my cabin this morning, I did my normal routine of looking around before heading here. It was then that I saw Lady Hestia pouring at the fireplace. I have rarely seen her pout...especially on her 8 year old form." This brought a couple of chuckles. Strained, but chuckles nonetheless. "I asked her what is wrong and she told me the air feels weird. She senses a Titan" at this everyone tenses but Chiron stomps his hoof to keep order.
"The Titan does not seem to be throwing off a malicious aura. She said that she feels an aura that says 'I have a plan, and I will do anything to achieve it.' Do you have any ideas Chiron?"
Chiron's eyes go unfocused, showing that he was deep in thought. "There are a couple titans who have that sort of aura. Pallas, Prometheus, and Iapetus are the three most likely. Atlas and Hyperion have similar auras, but they are tainted with evil, so it can't be them. It can't be Selene, Helios, or Leto, because they are either faded or in there prisons. Plus they let off an, albeit scary, peaceful version of this aura. The only other Titan I can think of is Koios. But he and his brother are almost never without the other."
"I've met Iapetus before, and I don't think this is him. I've gotten used to his aura so I would be able to notice him for sure." I say, tapping my chin before continuing, "At the Battle of Manhattan, I was able to feel Prometheus's aura from a good two miles away. So it can't be him. That leaves Pallas. I've never personally met him. So I don't know how to go about dealing with him." I finish. Chiron nods and turns to the councilors.
"Prepare your cabins for a fight. Inform them to not engage the Titan that shows up or his monsters. Percy or I will give the signal to attack if it comes to it." They nod before taking off towards their cabins.
"Chiron, what is Pallas like?" I ask hesitantly.
Chiron's face shows an emotion I have never seen on him before, and it scares me greatly. "He is the Titan of Battle and Warcraft. While he is an honorable Titan, like any General should, he is also ruthless when he needs to be. He is like an Athena-Ares hybrid. Do not underestimate him my boy. Approach with caution but do not show fear. A Titan with a battle or war domain respects courage and strength. Strength respects strength. I wish you luck, Perseus."
I nod my head and spin on my heel to get ready to meet the Titan.
Line break
Upon reaching the top of Half-Blood Hill, the first thing I saw was a large hulking figure I immediately paired with the name Pallas. The next thing I saw was he wasn't alone. Behind him was a small force of about twenty hellhounds and ten Empousa. I step outside of the barrier along with the other councilors. We stop about fifty feet away from him. I take a step forward and stand tall.
"General Pallas. I wish I could say it is a pleasure to meet you, but considering you are at our safe haven with a small force of monsters, I have a feeling we will soon be adversaries." I say, firmly but with a hint of respect.
"Perseus Jackson." He replies. He steps forward and stares at me, sizing me up before nodding his head.
"I have heard much about you from my father and brothers young Perseus, not all great mind you, but those pale in comparison to your feats as a general. You are not exactly correct about the adversary part, demigod." He conjures up a table and a couple chairs for all of us. Taking a seat, I motion to the councilors to do the same, none of us removing our hands from our weapons.
"My father, Krios, has joined The Darkness in this war Perseus. You are lucky that Chaos likes some of the Titans, or else you would have a lot more enemies. She gave some Titans your memories of your heroic deeds. Upon seeing them, I advised my father to not fight against you. His pride won out unfortunately and he is preparing to raze your camps." Pallas sighs and leans back in his chair. "I am not here to fight Percy, but to offer a deal." I lean against the table, intrigued beyond belief at the revelation.
"If this deal involves surrendering, then I must say, you are not as great of a general as history makes you out to be. We both know I would rather die fighting than live on my knees" I firmly state, staring into his eyes.
He chuckles and nods his head. "It's a good thing I'm not here to ask you to surrender. In fact, I've come to offer aid. These monsters behind me are loyal to me and me only. In exchange, when you fight Krios, and you will I am certain of that, I would like you to spare him. Do whatever you need to do, but don't kill my father."
I sigh and lean back. "It won't be easy Pallas. And while I admit these forces will help, this won't be enough to outweigh the cons. He won't surrender and I will not lose lives to him if he doesn't. I want something more than just soldiers." Then it hits me. This is Pallas...the husband to Styx!
"But, I have an idea. In fact, it is probably the best outcome for both of us. Your wife is Lady Styx correct?" I ask, he tenses up but nods his head. He's protective of her. That is good. "Before time travelling, I had bathed in the Styx before the Second Titan War. I lost it to the River Tiber. I do not wish to burn into nothing if Lady Styx does not feel happy about me bathing twice. If I spare your father, I request that, in addition to these soldiers, you have your wife not erase me if I come to gain the blessing again." I pause, before making a split second decision. "I will offer her and you sanctuary during this war as well if it pleases you."
Pallas leans forward, eyes closed in thought. A couple seconds later, he opens them and smirks at me. "You drive a hard bargain Perseus. I expect more great things from you." He rises from his seat and we follow his example. He studies me for a couple more seconds before extending his hand.
"We have a deal Perseus." I smile and shake his hand. He turns to leave but I grab his arm. "Now now Pallas...you and I both know I need more than a handshake." He laughs lightly. "Good work Perseus. I am impressed that you caught that." I shook my head in amusement, "Let's just say I have experience in these situations." He nods his head before swearing our terms on his immortality. I swear on his terms as well and we walk towards Half-Blood Hill together.
"Connor. Travis. Go ahead and inform Chiron of the happenings here." I say to the twins. They nod their heads before dashing off towards the Big House. The rest of us wait outside the barrier for the centaur. The tension is palpable, yet not dangerous. When Chiron arrives, he looks shocked but maintains a calm expression.
"Lord Pallas." He says, "It has been quite a while."
Pallas chuckles deeply. "Indeed it has cousin. Indeed it has. I assume the two demigods informed you of the agreement?"
Chiron nods his head and turns to me, a proud smile on his face. "Percy, you did well but there are some gods that aren't exactly happy you took matters into your own hands. Go to the Big House and prepare for their arrival." I grin and nod my head. Bowing very slightly to Pallas, I walk away to face a couple upset gods.
Chiron's POV
"If he wasn't a demigod, I would have pegged him as a Titan or a god with a strategy domain." I hear Pallas say.
"He is indeed a special one Lord Pallas. He has been through much, yet still prevails in the end. There is very little that Perseus cannot do." I chuckle. "Did chaos tell you about what he did to Typhon's prison?" I ask, receiving a negative in response. "He blew it up with the ocean within him, heavily damaging my father's scythe."
The Titan laughs deeply. "I can only imagine the look on Zeus's face at that."
I grin before chuckling as well. "I haven't seen my half-brother look so angry since the end of the Second World War."
"If you will follow me Lord Pallas, I will show you where you and your forces can stay. While we usually do not allow monsters to stay here, we will offer them sanctuary." I say, before glaring into his eyes. "But, if they step out of line, retribution will be swift and merciless. They are under your command Pallas, and I expect them to obey the rules of this camp."
"Of course Chiron. No harm will come to your campers from my forces."
I nod my head and lead him and the forces towards the forest. It was going to be a long week.
