Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I hope you are enjoying the story! Feel free to review!
Deep in the Void
Third POV
Around seventy five soldiers all stood in a throne room, watching the Olympians and successors training the campers as one who looks like the leader spoke "The Olympians are at their full power, which is good." he said as the man next to him spoke "Plus the campers are all really improving in their fighting." he said as another with blue eyes spoke up "So, you were a big shot after you left Earth huh?" he said as everyone all rolled their eyes.
"Do you feel guilty doing what you did?" He said as they made eye contact and nodded. "Yes, what we did wasn't right. But it was needed. You can't win a war without sacrifice." The leader said as he looked at him and the others as they all nodded sadly. "I wish we could go back, I already miss everyone." A man around the age of twenty five with blonde hair and electric blue eyes said as everyone nodded while the leader spoke "The time nears for us to emerge from the shadows. But we can only leave when Void says we're ready for he is the one who brought us all back in the first place." he said as everyone nodded.
You may be thinking Void is just pure energy and raw power that not even Chaos can control, but no. Void is the first being in the Universe and makes Chaos and Order's powers combined make them look like a child compared to his. Many thought Void faded, especially his children and his grandchildren but Void has been locked in the Void for if he leaves, his very presence will tear the Universe in half so he stays deep in the Void.
The Void can do many things if wielded correctly. It can give power or take it away. It can create and destroy, but the best thing about it is, it can also bring back the dead. You may be wondering who these mysterious people are to catch the attention of Void, whom no one has seen since the very beginning. They are the fallen heroes from the second Titan War. Starting with Bianca Di Angelo to Luke Castellan, every hero who sacrificed themselves are standing alive and waiting to return to their home to defend it. But they caught Void's attention, but who really had his attention was Percy Jackson and his brave soldiers who fell at the Hot Gates. Void knew that if Percy fell, no one could stop Order.
So he gave Percy a proposal and he accepted it, but only if Void would bring all the Rangers, plus his soldiers, Jason, and Damien. Daniel stayed in the Underworld as he is reunited his family. You may be wondering what the proposal was. Simple. Be brought back from the dead and reunite with their loved ones and end Order's reign.
Percy POV
As we stood watching the Olympians and successors train, but I was focused on Vivian and her soon to be baby in a month. "Can you believe you're going to be a father?" Zoe said as I spoke "Honestly, when I first heard this from Void, I thought she had a child with someone else and I felt betrayed. But then he said it was mine and then I was shocked and happy and kind of nervous." I said as Anthony spoke "You're going to be a great father." he said as everyone nodded. "Do you think it's going to a boy or a girl?" Silena said curiously as they all looked at me.
"I honestly wish that it will be a girl." I said as Luke chuckled "She's going to be daddy's little girl." he said as I switched the scene to see Theron's massive fleet heading towards the coast of Greece. "How many ships did you say there was, Zoe?" I questioned as she spoke "Nearly, five hundred thousand. Poseidon, Pontus, and Hydros already destroyed nearly a quarter of their fleet." She said as I got confused "Only a quarter? I thought they would have taken out most of their fleet." I said as Bianca spoke "Order is defending Theron's fleet from Pontus and Hydros while Oceanus fights Poseidon for control of the seas. So they have three hundred and seventy five thousand ships left." she said as I nodded.
"And what of Theron's commander who is in charge of the fleet?" I said as Charles spoke "Her name is Caroline, she was born in Ancient Greece. Was forced into slavery and was raped till Order saved her and took her under his wing. She swore the next time she returned to Greece she would burn it down." Charles said as everyone nodded. "When will they reach the coast?" I said as Jason spoke "They should reach the coast at night. If we attack them as soon as they touch the ground they won't be able to fight, being on boats for eight months." Jason said as I went to speak until a voice spoke before me "And you shall attack them at night." Void said as we all bowed as he stopped us "No need to bow my dear children." he said as we smiled as Anthony spoke "Lord Void, what do you mean?" he said curiously as Void spoke "The Olympian and Primordial Army are all ready to fight, but they are leaderless and still can't fight together, their all still mourning over Percy and your death." he said as me and the soldiers from the House of Chaos and Rangers nodded sadly.
"That's why it is time for you to return to Earth." He said shocking us "W-What?" Jason said in shock as Void nodded with a smile on his face. "You have all trained and can now help the Olympian and Primordial Army lead and gather up their forces and defeat Order. But before you leave, I want you all to resemble the same thing." He said as he snapped his fingers as everyone's armor including mine started to glow until everyone's armor was pitch black like the Primordial Army while everyone wore cloaks that were pitch black and had the Universe on them while mine had the same thing but mine included galaxies, stars, and planets all rotating around the cloak. "Void, what did you do? The only thing that seem to change was the cloaks and our armor." I said confused as he chuckled "Don't let looks deceive you Perseus, the armor and cloak like yours Perseus are indestructible and can only be pierced by the Sword of Chaos, Order, or Void." he said as our eyes widened.
"Void, you didn't have to do this for us. You already done enough letting us return to the dead and allowing all one hundred and seventy five Rangers plus the campers from the Second Titan War to also return." I said as everyone nodded while Luke spoke "Why is your sign on the armor?" he said as we looked and saw he was right but everyone had the same sign except soldiers from the Primordial Army. "The signs are to signal which House you were from before you were drafted into the House of Chaos." he said as I spoke "But why do I have multiple signs from the Olympians and most of the Primordials?" I said as everyone looked at my armor and saw I was right.
"You have more signs than everyone else because you are the Champion of Olympus and Champion of Aether, Hemera, Nyx, Erebus, Ananke, Chronos, Gaea, Ouranos, Tartarus, Pontus, and Hydros, plus being Chaos's successor you have all those signs to signify who you fought beside and which Houses you are or were in or whose Olympian, Titan, or Primordial is your parent." He said as we nodded in acceptance till Luke spoke again "That still doesn't explain why we have your sign?" Luke said as Void spoke "We will trick Order and Theron into thinking another army is helping the Olympians and Primordials, that army is you. You are the Army of Void, Defenders of the Universe, while I can't leave the Void, you can. You will strike fear into your enemies and hope into your allies." he said as Anthony spoke "Percy already does that." he joked as we all laughed.
"Also can I see your weapons? I will do the same thing to them. Yours included Perseus." he said as we took out our weapons as a glow appeared around them and he spoke "Now that's done. One last thing before I send you on your way to destroy Theron's fleet and force him back to the sea." he said as he looked at me and held out both his hands as a sword started appearing as he offered it to me as I looked at him confused. "Void, why are you giving me a sword? Not that I'm complaining, I need a extra one since that monstrous being destroyed my spear/sword." I said as he chuckled and spoke "Well this sword can't be destroyed at all since I wielded it before. I am giving you the Sword of Void or me." he said as our eyes widened "W-What? Void, I can't accept this. You already did so much for me I-" "Perseus, this sword gives the owner power beyond measure, but only a hero with a pure heart can wield this sword. The Void or me can be used for great things if in the right hands but if in the wrong hands can be used to destroy the Universe. I am giving this to you to show Order that I am supporting Chaos and make his forces dwindle and possible leave the war, giving you the advantage. Plus, I will hide your aura's till you appear over the cliffs then I will let you handle the rest." he said as I took the sword and felt a enormous amount of power flow through me and then felt a weird tingling sensation flow through me as I looked at Void confused.
"What was that tingling sensation?" I said as he spoke "I gave you my blessing so now you have full control of the Void." He said as my eyes widened as he opened a portal and the rest of my small army that was with me at the Hot Gates all bowed before me and stood at attention. "One last thing before you leave, the Void can be used for many things Percy and can make the impossible, possible." He said as he created a portal and spoke once more "When you walk out of the portal, the coast will be about three hundred yards away. You will be heading downhill, so you have the extra speed and strength." he said as I spoke to my army "Walk through the portal and stay out of sight till we're ready to attack." I said as they all nodded and walked through until all that remained was Damien, Bianca, Zoe, Lee, Castor, Charles, Michael, Silena, Ethan, Luke, Anthony, Shane, Preston, Tanner, Raven, Kane, Jason, and the other one hundred and sixty seven Rangers.
"But Void, you are giving me this sword but how can I use it without destroying the battlegrounds?" I said as he laughed "Percy, you can use the swords of Chaos, Order, and me whenever you want. You control how you use them, not the other way around. The swords are connected with your mind, just think about it and the swords will obey." he said as my eyes widened until I smiled and nodded as I gestured everyone to walk through the portal as they did as I went to step through until Void stopped me. "Remember Percy, the Void can do anything. Remember that." He said as I nodded and walked through the portal as everyone looked at me.
"What are your orders, milord?" Tyler said as I observed everyone and saw them all smiling at me as I smiled back and nodded "Tyler, I want you and the all the Rangers plus Zoe, Bianca, Michael, and Lee to head to those cliffs there." I said as I pointed my hand towards some cliffs that will give them a good vantage point of the battlefield. "Those cliffs should give you a great view of the battlefield, you can start raining down arrows on them when we get through about a tenth of the forces on land. Hoods up." I said as they all nodded and pulled up their hoods as I spoke to "Everyone, pair up with the same person you had before. Jason you and Damien will be partners." I said as they all nodded and paired up with their partner as I spoke "We will hit them once they get about five thousand ships on the shoreline." I said as everyone nodded and put their helmets on as I put mine on while Jason and Damien crouched beside me as we were in front of everyone as everybody else was on their knees or in a crouching position.
I scanned the cliffs and saw the Rangers and Zoe, Bianca, Michael, and Lee all in position as Tyler nodded at me while I nodded back "Now we sit back and wait." I said as everyone nodded as we all kept our eyes on the sea waiting for Theron and Order to approach.
Linebreak
After about fifteen minutes we saw Theron's massive fleet and saw the flagship where Caroline, Order, Theron, his son Troy, and Order's successor Kyle are at in the middle of the massive fleet "This is going to be fun." Jason muttered as we all nodded as I spoke "Ready weapons." I said as we all slowly unsheathed our weapons as pulled out the Sword of Void while Jason spoke. "Percy, can you control that power?" He said as I nodded and willed the sword to not blow up everything it makes contact with as I felt a connection to the sword and saw it glowing then stop. I looked over and saw the Rangers and campers all pull out an arrow and put it in the bow but didn't pull back as we waited for about twenty more minutes as we saw around five thousand ships all land against the shore getting their tents, weapons, and supplies as I spoke "Now!" I yelled as we all stood up and ran up the hill then down it yelling our battle cries as we were heading towards Theron's shocked army as I felt multiple pairs of eyes on me and I knew they were the Olympians and Primordials, plus the immortal campers and the successors, Vivian. "Let's give the immortals a show to watch and show Theron what happens when he fucks with the wrong people." I said through everyone's mind as they cheered in response as we ran towards Theron's army.
Vivian POV
I stood on the shore with my hand on my swollen belly and sighed sadly as I looked up at the moon to see it was barely dim. "Even Lady Artemis is mourning." I muttered as Danny walked up "Milady, your presence is required on Olympus." he said with his head down as I spoke "Danny, don't blame yourself for what happened six months ago." I said as I felt tears forming in my eyes. "I know milady, but that doesn't mean I have to like it." He said as he looked up and I saw his eyes were bloodshot red like mine were as Erebus appeared and he looked like a mess as he spoke "Hey Vivian, Danny. You ready to head to Olympus?" he said sadly as I nodded as he put his hand on mine and Danny's shoulder as we disappeared and appeared in the Olympian Throne room.
We were the first ones here until a few minutes, low flashes appeared and the Primordials, Olympians, minor gods, and Chaos appeared as they looked terrible as the successors appeared with the immortal campers as no one looked happy, especially Rayner. His eyes that shined with happiness and joy were dull like the light was sucked out of them, his hair was a mess and he didn't even bother to change his clothes which were wrinkled.
"Why did you call this meeting Zeus?" Poseidon spat as he also looked the worse out of all of us as we all looked at Zeus with cold gazes since it was his son who got my husband killed. "We have to check up on the fleet that Theron sent." Zeus said as he looked down in shame knowing that he is responsible for everyone's death at the Hot Gates as Chaos opened a screen as it showed Theron's massive fleet appearing at the shoreline. "We can't fight that. We don't have enough ships, we made the one hundred and twenty five that was required but I didn't expect there to be so many." Athena said avoiding saying my husband's name.
"How many were there?" Apollo said as his eyes looked dull and sad as Aether looked the same way as he spoke "Around five hundred thousand. Poseidon, Pontus, and Hydros all managed to sink a quarter of their ships. Order was fighting Pontus and Hydros while Oceanus fought Poseidon for control. So that leaves around three hundred and seventy five thousand ships left." he said mournfully as we watched around five thousand ships dock. "Can't we just hit them now? Their probably worn out and too tired to fight." Ares said hopefully as we shook our heads "We can't teleport everyone there in our condition. We're just as worse as them." Rosa said sadly as we all nodded as we saw them getting their tents and supplies set up.
"We can only watch." Chaos said mournfully as we all watched sadly as we heard battle cries and saw a army appear on the hill as we looked in shock as they ran down it as we felt their aura's that was definitely stronger than Chaos making her seem like a baby compared to theirs. "Who are they?" Nyx said in shock and slight fear as I spoke "I don't know, but they seemed focus on Theron's fleet. Let's see who they are before we try to attack them and have another enemy." I said glaring at Zeus as Poseidon spoke "Lord Ouranos, can you create some lightning so we can see their faces?" he said as Ouranos started creating lightning as their heads were covered by visors so we couldn't see them but we did see they were armed to the teeth and looked deadly as Theron's army scrambled for their weapons as they ran uphill to the mysterious army.
"Theron's army is going to be crushed. Their heading uphill while the mysterious army is moving downhill and don't seem like their going to stop." Athena said as they clashed as the mysterious army started cutting through Theron's men and moving in pairs as arrows started hitting Theron's men with pinpoint accuracy as the screen switched as we saw about one hundred and seventy archers all shooting like the Rangers hitting Theron's men as it switched back as we watched in shock at how fluid they moved.
"We definitely don't need these people as our enemies, but as our allies." Athena said as more ships docked as they jumped off and attacked the mysterious army but received the same fate as their allies as we saw them push Theron's men back to the water as they ran into the water but were still cut down as Poseidon spoke "I wish they didn't kill them in the water." he said disgusted as the water started turning red.
After about fifteen minutes of slaughtering Theron's men they all stood behind a person whose aura made Chaos seem like a newborn baby as he put his hands up as water rose as our eyes widened. "No way." Apollo said softly as we watched in shock as cyclones and typhoons started appearing around him as we saw his eyes and gasped. His eyes were a beautiful sea green that glowed with power as he pointed his hands forward as the cyclones and typhoons started to sink Theron's ship as we saw the waves slow down then speed up. "Looks like Order and Oceanus can't stop this person." Poseidon said softly as I looked around and saw some light returning to everyone's eyes as more and more of Theron's fleet started sinking and being torn apart till he put his hands down as we saw about one hundred and twenty five thousand ships were destroyed as the wreckage lay waste in the seas as he pointed a sword at Theron's ship as Chaos and the Primordials gasped. "That isn't possible." Chaos said in shock as we looked at them confused.
"What's wrong, Chaos?" I said confused as she spoke "That sword is the Sword of Void, my father. Whoever wields the sword will have unlimited power and can control the Void. But Void was said to have faded long ago and the sword faded with him. But these people must've met Void and Void gave the sword to him." she said in shock and fear as Theron's fleet started retreating as he put the sword down as we looked in shock at someone who can easily defeat Chaos and Order.
"So, are they allies or enemies?" Poseidon said as the leader looked right up at us and gestured his head back to the beach and walked off with his army behind him. "It seems like the leader wants to meet us and speak." Athena said as we looked warily at the army of soldiers disposing of the dead bodies as Chaos spoke "We might as well, they seem no threat to us. Who knows, maybe we could gain a very powerful ally." she said as we all nodded and disappeared in a bright flash to meet the mysterious people.
Linebreak
When we appeared we saw a massive wooden wall that stretches from one side of the beach to the other as guards were patrolling the walls as soldiers walked up to us and bowed confusing us. "Uh, why are you bowing when you are stronger than all of us?" Aether said as we glared at him as the leader chuckled "We do not bow to any of you, no offense. We bow to her." he said as he pointed at me as everyone grew confused as I spoke "Why me?" I said as he chuckled "You are the Queen of the City? Correct?" he said as we froze and looked at him in shock "How do you know who she is?" Danny said warily as we grabbed our weapons. "No need for weapons here, we are allies. Besides, I am a former soldier of the Primordial Army." he said as he showed us his breastplate and saw it had Aether's symbol "Your from the House of Aether?" I said as he nodded "Everyone here is a former soldier of the Primordial Army." he said as we froze and looked at him to see him walking towards the gate with his soldiers behind him.
"Do you think Percy and everyone else is here?" I said hopefully as everyone looked hopeful "Probably, but they don't seem keen on taking off their visors." Athena said as the soldier yelled "Are you going to stand there or are you going to come in?" he yelled as we walked up to him and walked in to see tents and supplies being set up as they all stood and bowed to me as I gestured for them to rise.
"They must be soldiers of the Primordial Army, they show respect to the Queen? But who is their commander?" Hemera said as the soldier led us to a large tent as two guards on either side opened it as we walked in and saw all the archers on the cliffs and the leader around a table speaking while the Sword of Void was in his hand as we stood there while the soldier cleared his throat as they all looked up as we saw glowing eyes looking at us.
"So familiar to the Rangers." Camille said softly as we all know she is suffering over the death of Anthony as the leader nodded as the soldier bowed and left the tent as the leader walked towards us with everyone behind him. "Hello." He said in a warm, friendly voice as I spoke "Hello, my name is-" "Vivian Jackson, Queen of the City." he said as I nodded while he spoke "I know you are probably wondering who I and my soldiers are so I will tell you. We are the Army of Void, Defenders of the Universe, we are some of Earth and the Universe's most greatest warriors." he said as I nodded till I looked at his armor and saw all the Olympians signs on them and the eleven Primordials who made Percy their champion, plus Chaos's sign.
"How did you get those signs?" I said as he looked at his armor and spoke "The signs on our armor represent which House we were in before we were drafted into Void's army." he said as I looked at everyone else's armor and saw signs of Hemera, Aether, Nyx, and other Primordials plus Chaos's sign. "Why do some of you have Chaos's signs and signs of other Primordials and some of you only have signs of the Olympians like Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus, Artemis, Hades, Aphrodite, Nemesis, and Hephaestus?" I said as he spoke up "Some of the soldiers are children of the Olympians." he said as the necklace Percy gave me started to hum as I took it off and looked at it in confusion till I realized what it was doing. Percy was in this room among these soldiers and I have a pretty good idea who he is.
I took off the necklace and walked towards the leader as the necklace started to hum brighter till I stood in front of the leader while everyone was looking at me in shock while the leader spoke "If I may ask, what are you doing milady?" he said with a smirk as I reached up and slowly took off his helmet and saw beautiful sea green eyes looking at me in happiness and love. "Percy." I whispered in shock and happiness as I put my hand on his cheek to make sure this isn't a sick dream as I touched his cheek as he put his arms around me as I burst out in tears knowing that my husband is alive and standing in front of me as I hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Son, is that really you?" Chaos said in shock and happiness as Percy looked at them and spoke "Do you know another Percy Jackson?" he said as nearly everyone joined in on our hug as I gasped as Percy spoke "Everyone back away, remember that Vivian hasn't gave birth yet." he said as everyone backed away instantly as I looked at the other soldiers as I gasped. "Jason, Anthony, Shane, Preston, Kane, Raven, Tanner, Damien, Daniel, are you all there?" I said as they all took off their masks and before me stood Jason and everyone else minus Daniel "Still smart as ever, milady." Damien said as they were all tackled in hugs by hunters and friends as Percy spoke "Hey Olympians, don't think I forgot about you. Get over here." he said as they walked over to him with tears in their eyes.
"You d-d-died." Hades said in shock "I felt your souls enter the Underworld." he said as Percy spoke "Void made fake copies of our souls and left them in the Underworld." he said as he spoke to the one hundred and seventy five people. "Everyone get over here." He said while not letting go of me as he spoke "I don't think you all met the other Rangers." he said as our eyes widened as they all took off their hoods and before me stood the one hundred and twenty five Rangers that were killed as one spoke up. "What's up Olympians? Name's Tyler Jackson, adopted son of Chaos, brother to Percy Jackson." He said as Percy put his arm around his shoulder as everyone's eyes widened "Are you the Tyler who died protecting Vivian?" Athena said curiously as we all glared at her as Tyler winced in pain while Artemis slapped her in the back of the head.
"Don't say that, Athena. Be smart and use your brain." Artemis hissed as Athena just realized what she said "Oh my-I'm so sorry." she said as Tyler waved it off "Don't worry about it Lady Athena." he said as they all introduced themselves while the Olympians, minor gods, immortal campers, and hunters all shook their hands dumbly. I stood watching in happiness that everyone is here till I realized my son wasn't here "Percy where's Daniel?" I said as Percy spoke "Daniel is reunited with his parents and sisters in the Underworld." he said as I nodded sadly but was happy that everyone is at peace. "Percy, if you're here does that mean everyone from the Hot Gates are here also?" Rayner said as I saw the light return to his eyes as Percy nodded and spoke "Everyone's here." he said as a soldier who didn't reveal himself clear his throat as Percy's eyes widened.
"Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Hades, Hermes, Aphrodite, and call Nemesis here." Percy said as Zeus did so confused as Nemesis appeared "You called Lord Zeus?" she said as he pointed at Percy as she looked at him as her eyes widened. "I thought-" "Yes, it did really happen. But I called you here so you can greet some fallen children and hunters." He said as they all got confused as Thalia spoke "Percy what do you mean?" she said as Percy spoke "Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you Bianca Di Angelo, Zoe Nightshade, Lee Fletcher, Castor, Charles Beckendorf, Michael Yew, Silena Beauregard, Ethan Nakamura, and Luke Castellan. And if you harm Luke, you deal with me." he said as Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Hades, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Nemesis eyes widened as they tackled their children in hugs with tears going down their eyes.
After three hours of rejoicing and crying we were able to leave "Gentlemen I want you to all stay here while me and the Rangers all head to Olympus." Percy said as they all nodded "Let's go to Olympus shall we?" Percy said with a smirk as they all nodded with smiles as we all disappeared and appeared in the throne room. "As much as I would love to sit back and talk and reunite with everyone, we all know that isn't possible at the time." He said as we all nodded as he continued "Do you still have those one hundred and twenty five Greek ships that I told you to make?" Percy said while the Olympians nodded as Poseidon spoke "Yes son, we still have them but we don't know what to do with them." Poseidon said as his sea green eyes gleamed with happiness knowing that his son is still alive. "Good, I need those ships for we are going to use those ships to hold off Theron's fleet." Percy said as our eyes widened as I spoke "No! You just got back. I'm not going to let you run off and get yourself hurt again." I said while everyone nodded while Percy rolled his eyes.
"We only died to unite all of Olympus and get you to actually train and reach your full power. We didn't plan on it happening that way, but I'm glad it did." Percy said as we all glared at him as he spoke "We really died on purpose, if we wanted to we would have slaughtered Theron's army with little work. If you noticed, we didn't even use any powers, if we used powers we would have finished them in a week at the most." Percy said as we thought this over as he continued "Besides, we're going to be fighting in the sea. A domain that I am completely accustomed to. It shouldn't be a problem, but I would like to keep mine and everyone else's identity a secret. All that Theron knows is another army joined Olympus, he doesn't know that me and all the Rangers are alive. Let's keep it that way for as long as possible." he said as we finally nodded and gestured for him to continued as he smiled.
"The wall that we built is made out of Void metal. Order won't be able to get past it or climb over it so he'll have to take another approach." Percy said as a screen appeared and it showed all of Greece "I would like to lead them to right here into a narrow passageway. We all know how well it worked out last time." he said as we all nodded as Pontus spoke "How will we lead them there Percy?" Pontus said as Percy smiled "We'll drive them there. You, Hydros, my dad, and me can easily overpower Order and Oceanus and use the waves to push them to this location and Ouranos and Zeus can use the winds to help us out. If everything goes according to plan, when Order and his fleet get there, instead of having two hundred and fifty thousand, he should have around two hundred thousand, making our job easier. I would just remove the Ancient Laws and let you just tear them apart but I can't because if Oceanus notices he will know that me and everyone else is alive. So we do it the fun way." Percy said with a smile as we smiled back, knowing that everything is going to get better really quick.
"Once they get there, me and my small army will be in this formation." Percy said as it showed twenty five ships rotating in a small circle as fifty ships rotated around it with another fifty rotating around it as everyone looked confused as Athena spoke "Percy, that is a offensive formation, you would want a defensive position." Athena said as everyone nodded while Percy smiled and spoke "Have faith in me, I know what I'm doing." he said as I spoke "He's right, Percy's done some really stupid things." I said glaring at him as he smiled sheepishly. "But they work in the end, I say we trust him, he hasn't let us down yet, he won't do it now." I said as Hemera spoke "Percy aren't you tired?" she said as he looked confused. "What do you mean?" He said as she spoke "At the Hot Gates, you looked terrible, we honestly thought you were going to give up. Why do you seem fine now?" she said as we all looked at him as he smiled "Legacy of Hecate remember?" he said as we all realized he used the mist to make us think he gave up.
"Smart son, Theron thought he had you beat. But you just proved to his army that he isn't a god." Chaos said as Percy smiled slightly then frowned "What's wrong Percy?" I said as he spoke "The army at the Hot Gates are all dead, aren't they?" he said as we all got confused. "What do you mean, Perce?" Apollo said as Percy spoke "I have no doubt that after we died, you all went crazy and killed them didn't you?" he said as they all chuckled nervously as Percy spoke "It's okay. I'm pretty sure someone noticed the nasty scar I left on his cheek and will ask him how he got it." Percy said as they all nodded.
"We're basically doing a remake of what happened at the Hot Gates, just by sea instead of land." Percy said as we all nodded "Now, let's get started on fucking up Theron's fleet." Percy said as Poseidon, Hydros, Pontus, Zeus, and Ouranos all smiled as they disappeared and appeared by the sea as Zeus and Ouranos were in the sky as we watched the waves get violent then stop as Oceanus and Order were fighting them for control till Percy joined and the waves got more violent as the wind started whipping the ships back and forth as the waves were tossing their ships into each other as they were pushing them to the narrow passageway as they stopped and disappeared and appeared on Olympus.
"We would've kept going but I could tell Order was starting to get suspicious so I flashed us up here. We can't let Order and Theron know we're here, we'll lay low for a couple weeks then start back up. We can't head back down there, we'll have to work from up here by trapping them and force them to head to the northwest towards the passageway, leaving it the only route they can take." Percy said as we all nodded as Percy spoke to Tyler "Head back to the coast and gather everyone up and move by foot to the northeast part of Greece and setup there." "Yes, milord." Tyler said as they walked through a portal as we looked at him. "What?" He said as Hermes spoke "Why are you making them walk?" he said curiously as Percy spoke "So they can keep track of Theron's fleet, I'm using the mist to make them look like their just carrying their tents and supplies which they are minus all the pointy weapons and making them look like tourists." Percy said as we nodded in acceptance "Smart Percy. That way they can keep you updated on Theron's fleet and progress." Athena said as Percy nodded and spoke "Let's head to the camp so they know that I'm back and we can continue where we were at." Percy said as he grabbed my hand as everyone nodded and flashed out to Camp Half-Blood as Percy spoke.
"I'm so sorry Vivian for leaving you and I-" "Percy, its okay. You did what you knew was right and you kept your promise, not even death will keep us separated." I said as he pulled me into a kiss as Aether flashed in front of us "Hey lovebirds, continue this in your room after you tell the Greek and Roman campers who are in Camp Half-Blood right now that you and everyone else is alive." he said with a smirk as he disappeared while Percy sighed "We will never get peace and quiet, will we?" he said as I laughed and nodded as we light travelled to Camp Half-Blood.

The last six months have been great for the Olympians and campers. Once they found out that Percy Jackson is alive as is his loyal Rangers and his brave army of soldiers are also alive, their training increased drastically and they are finally able to match the Primordial Army's fighting tactics.
Vivian had finally gave birth and it was a boy who they decided to name Daniel Jackson, after their adopted son, Daniel. His eyes are sea green with silver mixed in them perfectly while they changed to a midnight blue like his mothers eyes, he has tan skin like his father and got his raven black hair from both his parents and is already five months old. All the female Olympians and Primordials adore Daniel and he is very observant and likes to watch everything and everyone.
Rayner and Lucilius watched over him but it didn't go according to plan. Daniel snuck off and somehow got into Percy's trophy room and was about to put a hunting knife in his mouth till Vivian caught him in time and Rayner and Lucilius received their punishments from Percy. Poor Rayner and Lucilius were in the hospital for three weeks unconscious, Percy's sisters, brothers, and cousins all train with Percy in their powers as he helps out anyone who is in need, but also makes up his lost time with Vivian and Daniel and everyone else. Especially his daughters, his five month old son, his wife, his mother and father, and all the other immortals.
Percy finally forgave Annabeth, but is still a little awkward around her as she also apologized for doing what she did and trying to break up Percy and Vivian. Every immortal is at their full power making Olympus look more grand and like how it did in Ancient Greece while the immortal campers all received a blessing from a primordial, Olympian, or minor god as Percy is basically a full immortal as he bleeds mostly silver ichor and a small amount of golden ichor and a very tiny amount of red blood. But Percy's blessing is similar to Artemis's blessing, increased stamina and senses. But he doesn't give his blessing out to anybody, not even his cousins, sisters, and brother, he gives it to people who won't brag about it and boast about being blessed by the most greatest hero the Universe and Earth has ever known, while the Hunters all warmed up to the Rangers, but the Rangers who weren't there for most of their interactions was a little wary of them but finally warmed up to them.
Preston, Anthony, Shane, Kane, Raven, and Tanner finally admitted their love to the hunters Gwen, Camille, Mikayla, Crystal, Brittany, and Sarah. Luckily, they admitted their love back while Artemis released them from their oaths, even though she was a little reluctant to release six of her best hunters but Percy reassured her, saying that is they ever hurt them in anyway he'll send them to Artemis so she can punish them. They wouldn't have admitted their love at all if Percy, Tyler, and the rest of the Rangers locked them in Percy's cabin and sealed it off so they can't get out for two hours.
Theron's fleet suffered massively. Instead of predicting they would have two hundred thousand, they ended up with around one hundred and eighty thousand. Percy and the Olympians reinforced the front and back of the Greek ships with Void metal, they asked why but Percy just told them they'll find out.
So the past six months have been great. But Theron's fleet nears as Percy and his army must again step up to the cause...
Percy POV
I sat on my couch with Daniel in my arms as he was observing the stars on the roof of the Chaos Cabin. He kept making sounds and I would speak to him like he's asking me a question and I would answer it. I continued telling him stories of Achilles, Jason, and my namesake, Perseus. I looked down at him and it looked like he was actually listening to me as he had a awed look to his face. "Can you already understand me?" I said as he smiled and made gurgling sounds as I continued speaking to him as Damien walked in "Milord, the Olympians and Primordials request your presence." he said quietly as I nodded and walked towards him as I headed out the door as Damien closed it as I headed to the Aphrodite Cabin and knocked on the door as Lacey opened it. "Hey Percy, what brings you here?" She said as I spoke "Hey Lacey, can you watch over Daniel? You're the only Aphrodite child who won't kill my child with perfume." I said as she laughed and nodded took Daniel gently from my hands as I spoke "I still can't believe you're a seventeen year old instead of a twelve year old." I said as she smiled and spoke "And I didn't expect to see you the age of a twenty six year old." she said as I nodded "True, little sister." I said as I thanked her as I turned back to Damien "Ready to go?" I said as he nodded as I put my hand on his shoulder and light travelled us to Olympus.
Linebreak
"Theron's fleet nears Percy." Athena said as I nodded "The one hundred and twenty five ships are already there, all we need to do is get them in position and we'll be ready." I said as everyone nodded "Son, you should really consider changing how you have your formation set up." my dad said as everyone nodded. "It's fine dad, trust me. Theron will think the same thing, but that thought will change quickly." I said as everyone looked unsure but nodded nonetheless "You won't go and sacrifice yourself will you?" Vivian said as I spoke "Trust me, I'm going nowhere this time." I said seriously as they all smiled and nodded as I gave Vivian a kiss and said goodbye to everyone as I flashed me and Damien to the coast to see everyone is already set up and getting their weapons set up while the Greek ships are already in the ocean.
"Milord." Tyler said as him and the Rangers all walked up to me "We're in position, how do you want us set up?" Tyler said as I spoke "I want four of you on each ship, two in the front and two in the back, the remainder will come with me." I said as they nodded and went to setup. "Jason, Damien, Danny, you're with me on the flagship." I said as they nodded as we all gathered on the ships as we started moving towards the assigned spot we agreed on as Jason spoke "What are these ropes for Perce?" he said as he pointed to the ropes on the edge of the boat as I smiled.
"They're for a surprise, everyone will know what their for soon. Let's just say they'll prevent you from going overboard." I said as his eyes widened but nodded nonetheless as we were getting set up in our formation while my flagship was in the center while I spoke. "I would prefer to be in the front leading, not leading from the back." I said as Damien chuckled "We know milord, but doing it here makes it easier so everyone can hear you." he said as I looked at him and spoke "You saying I can't yell loud?" I questioned as he shook his head "Of course not milord, we all know your voice is loud. It just makes it easier being in the middle." he said as I nodded and saw Theron's fleet approaching as I spoke "Showtime." I said as everyone nodded.
Vivian POV
"Hope Percy knows what he's doing." Rayner said as I spoke "He has it under control, plus they only have around one hundred and eighty thousand from the original five hundred thousand they had before." I said as everyone nodded while Apollo spoke "Plus he's in the sea, a domain he has full control over, they'll be fine." he said as Theron's fleet were slowing down until a horn sounded and around five hundred went forward as Percy's formation looked familiar till I realized what he was doing. "Impressive Percy." I muttered as everyone looked at me.
"What'd you say Vivian?" Rosa said as I spoke "His formation, it isn't a offensive or defensive position, it's both. He can switch it back and forth with little confusion." I said as the successors all got a look of realization on their faces while everyone else still looked confused. "I don't see what you mean, Vivian." Athena said confused as I spoke "Just watch and you'll all find out." I said as Percy's ships all slowed down leaving gaps wide enough for the ships to enter as they ran into Percy's ships but shattered on impact as every ship was trapped between Percy's small armada as everyone's eyes widened.
"Vivian's right, it's a defensive and offensive position. They trap them and can ram them, completely destroying the ships. That's why Percy reinforced the front and back of the ships with Void metal, for this reason." Poseidon said as they continued ramming the ships until Percy put his hand in the water as it froze the water around them into solid ice as Percy's soldiers all jumped off and ran towards the ships as our eyes widened.
"That's new." Pontus said as the soldiers were all got small boosts from the water or wind as they attacked the Theron's small attack force as Percy and his force stood on their ship watching the battle. "Why aren't they attacking?" Apollo said as Hemera spoke up "It's probably because if Order recognizes their fighting skills, he will know that Percy's back." she said as we saw the men jumping from ship to ship completely slaughtering anyone who is onboard. "Looks like Percy isn't as stupid as we thought." Annabeth said as I glared at her "Percy isn't stupid, I thought you all would've known this when he lead you in the Battle of Manhattan and gave you positions to defend, while some of you were arguing like little kids over a damn chariot." Lucilius said as we all nodded "He's done some stupid things, but if you think logically, it was for the right thing." I said as we looked back at the screen to see the ships sunk and Percy's ships back in their formation.
"Impressive, Percy truly does know what he's doing. I wonder what other tricks he has up his sleeve." Athena said impressed as Theron's fleet retreated as Percy's stayed there for a little while longer until they broke their formation and headed back to the shore as a flash appeared in the throne room as Percy appeared with a smile on his face.
"Told you I had it under control." He said as he walked to me and gave me a kiss as Poseidon spoke "Son, that was amazing. How did you do it?" he said as everyone looked at him as he spoke "I knew that Theron would attack with force and when he saw how many ships there are defending the coast of Greece, he would send a small amount. But he won't do that again, that's why tomorrow I need yours and Iris's help." he said confusing us as Zeus spoke "Why do you need Iris's help?" he said as Percy waved it off.
"You'll find out tomorrow, but for now we will relax and wait for Theron's next attack." Percy said as he went to flash away till he spoke "Before I leave, does anyone have any questions about anything before you all leave?" Percy said as everyone nodded as Athena spoke "How were you able to wield the Sword of Void without destroying the battlefield and possibly the whole planet?" she said curiously as we all looked at him as he spoke. "Void said I could use any of the three swords whenever I want. He said the swords merge with the wielders mind, so all I have to do is sort of tell it to do something and it will obey it. The sword obeys the wielders command, not the other way around." He said as we looked at him in shock as Ouranos spoke "Can you control all three elements, Order, Chaos, and Void?" he said curiously as Percy spoke "I can only have full control of Chaos, Order, and the Void if I wield the swords. But if I'm not using them, I have as much control over Chaos, Order, and Void as a demigod can have." he said as we nodded in acceptance. "Do you plan on destroying Theron's entire fleet?" Zeus said as Percy spoke "No, not really. My plan is to get the commander of Theron's fleet on our side so they can defend the coast of Greece, ceasing any invasion while me and my army head back to Camp Half-Blood." he said as we froze and looked at him in shock.
"Percy." Poseidon said slowly "This commander is brutal and vicious. How do you plan on doing that?" he said as Percy spoke "Me and her share many things in common. If I can get her to agree, Theron and Order will leave Greece alone and head to Olympus." he said as Apollo spoke "She? The commander is a she?" he said as Artemis glared at him. "Yes Apollo, her name is Caroline, Daughter of Mars, Legacy of Apollo." He said shocking us as Aether spoke "Born as a Roman and raised as a Greek. Why does she want revenge?" he said curiously as Percy spoke "She is the first Roman demigod and was raised as a Greek. When people in Ancient Greece found out, her family was killed and raped in front of her as she was sold into slavery at the age of nine and was also raped. Order must've found her and took her under his wing and trained her to become the deadliest person in Theron's army." he said shocking us.
"Why do you make it sound like she was born in Ancient Greece?" Hera said as Percy spoke "Because she was born in Ancient Greece." he said as the Olympians all froze and looked at him in shock. "She left and swore when she returned she will burn Greece to the ground." He said as Nyx spoke up "Are you sure it's possible to get her on our side? With all that negative thoughts and emotions from nearly three thousand years, it will be nearly impossible to get her on our side." she said unsurely as Percy spoke "Nyx, what am I known for doing?" he said as Aether spoke up "Doing the impossible?" he said as Percy smiled "It will be hard, but not impossible. Nothing is impossible Nyx, just waiting to be accomplished and made possible." he said as we all smiled. "Now, if that's everything you can all leave now."
Everyone nodded and flashed away and he grabbed my hand and flashed us in front of the Aphrodite's cabin as I looked at him confused. "I let Lacey take care of Daniel." He said as I nodded and he knocked on the door as Piper opened it "Hey Percy, what do you need?" she said as Percy spoke " Hey Pipes, Is Lacey here? I let her take care of Daniel." he said as she nodded and offered him in but he shook his head. "I've been in the Aphrodite cabin and I don't feel like going back down that road again." He said as she smiled and went to get Lacey as I spoke "Aren't you supposed to be with Tyler and the others?" I said as he spoke "I would be, but Tyler drove me off. Saying that I need to spend time with my family." he said as he kissed me as a voice spoke "You know, I would appreciate it if you didn't do that in front of me." Lacey said as she appeared with Daniel in her arms while smiling.
"Your just jealous that you don't have a boyfriend and can't do this." Percy said as he took Daniel from her hands as she rolled her eyes "Whatever Percy, see you later." she said as she closed the door as Percy turned around with Daniel wrapped up in blankets and spoke "Want to head to bed? It's getting late anyway and we have to be at Olympus at dawn." he said as I smiled and nodded as he took my hand and we walked together in comfortable silence to the Chaos cabin.
Caroline POV
Before the attack
"This blasted weather is throwing us off track." Theron said as I rolled my eyes and spoke "Our navigators said that there's a passageway that we can use that will lead us into Greece." I said as we went over a large wave as we saw around one hundred and twenty five ships in a offensive formation with the sign of Olympus on them as Theron laughed. "This is all the mighty Olympians are going to send to defend Greece?" He said as Order's successor, Kyle, spoke up "Their leader, Perseus Jackson is dead. They are probably still mourning and sent what they had to make a stand." he said as we all nodded as Theron spoke "Caroline, send five hundred ships to crush the Olympians little fleet." he said as I spoke "It would be wise not to underestimate them." I said as he spoke "What can not even a hundred and fifty ships do against our fleet?" he said as I just rolled my eyes and sent five hundred ships to crush the Olympians fleet.
As we watched in silence as our five hundred ships got closer, we saw the Olympian fleet slow done leaving gaps as our ships sailed past them as they rammed into them completely destroying them as our eyes widened. "What?!" Theron said in outrage as more of our ships got destroyed as the water around them all turned to solid ice as soldiers from the Olympian fleet all jumped off and headed towards our ships and jump on them slaughtering anyone onboard and started jumping from ship to ship killing everyone.
"It's not a offensive formation. Its a defensive and offensive position." Order said as I looked closer and saw the pitch black cloaks with the Universe on it as I realized it was the same army from six months ago that attacked our ships. "It's the same army that destroyed a quarter of our fleet and forced us to leave." I said as they looked closer as their eyes widened and Order spoke "But who are they? They have an aura that is stronger than me and the leader is the deadliest out of all them." he said as I looked closer towards the center and saw the leader standing on what looks like the flagship as I spoke "Whoever they are, I don't like it. They alone can destroy our fleet, tomorrow we'll send one last assault and see if it works. If not, we'll have to arrange a peaceful talk and see who we're dealing with." I said as everyone nodded except Theron didn't look like he liked it but nodded nonetheless.
"Tomorrow, send your best strategist and five thousand ships. If they fail, we'll do it your way." Order said as Theron went to speak but I spoke first "Of course milord, but why my best strategist?" I said as Order spoke "We need to see if the commander of the Olympian fleet is smarter. If he is, we need to try to get them on our side, completely crushing the Olympians and Chaos. They already lost their leader Perseus Jackson, who was the heart and soul of Olympus, the Olympian and Primordial Army. We take this away and they will fall to the ground." Order said as we all nodded and dispersed as I headed to my chambers, thinking about who this mysterious army is and who the leader is.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! Will Theron know who the mysterious army is? And if he does, will he continue to think that he can win this war? Will Percy be able to convince Caroline to join Chaos? You'll find out in the next chapter. Feel free to review!
