Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! I hope you guys are enjoying the story! Feel free to review!
Percy POV
As I appeared on the other side of the portal, I saw many immortals who were forgotten and faded long ago walking around as I started weaving through the crowd of immortals looking for Helios, Selene, Eos, and Phoebe. "If I were a Titan or Titaness of the sun, moon, and dawn, and intellect,where would I be?" I muttered until I looked around and saw a man around the age of twenty two sitting under the sun, literally. I looked around and saw different immortals in domains that represent them and saw them all relaxing.
"So that must be Helios then." I muttered as I walked towards him as he didn't recognize me and spoke "You must be Lord Helios?" I said as he opened his eyes and I saw they were literally like balls of fire, but they weren't like Hyperion's, they were warm and friendly, but also filled with curiosity. "Yes I am, and you are?" He said politely as I spoke "Percy Jackson." I said as he froze and slowly looked at me "The son of Poseidon?" he said as I nodded. "Well I'll be damned, it's an honor to meet a living legend." He said as I smiled and spoke "It's an honor to meet the original sun god." I said as he waved it off "Nah, that's nothing compared to meeting you. What brings you to the Void where all faded beings reside?" he said as I spoke "A war is happening on Earth and I require yours, Selene's, Eos, and Phoebe's help for it." I said while he raised an eyebrow.
"You saved Olympus twice and defeated Gaea single-handedly when not even the Olympians could defeat her together. Why would you need four faded like us, to help you?" He said curiously as I spoke "I will explain everything once we gather up Selene, Eos, and Phoebe. I will not force you to join if you don't want to." I said as he nodded "Nah, I'll help but how do you plan on getting four faded immortals out of the Void?" he said as I smiled "A lot happened to me after the Second Giant War and I'll tell you, I can get you out of here." I said as I extended my arm out to him and he took it and I pulled him up with ease.
"Some muscle you got there. Not even Selene, Eos, and Phoebe all together couldn't pull me up that easily." He said as I smiled and spoke "Do you know where Selene and the others will be at?" I questioned as he smiled and nodded. "Selene and Eos are usually together and Phoebe is always with her but sometimes she runs off and does her own things and sprouts out information that get's annoying." He said as I laughed and gestured for him to lead the way as he did and we deeper into the Void in peaceful silence until he spoke "Just a question, how were you able to stand directly under the sun and not burn up or even start sweating? Only me, Apollo, or a champion of me or Apollo can do that?" he said curiously as I smiled and spoke "I won't tell you everything that happened to me after the Second Giant War yet but I will tell you this, I became the Champion of Olympus." I said as he looked at me in shock.
"C-Champion of O-Olympus?" He said as I nodded "Yes, and that is only the beginning of what happened to me after the Second Giant War." I said as we continued walking till we saw three girls, one was wearing a silver hunting outfit like Artemis but her eyes weren't just silver, they were like a crescent moon and she was shooting targets faster than Artemis while another girl was sitting on a bench watching her, humming to herself and another who had a book in her hands with glasses on.
"Hey sis!" Helios yelled as she turned and shot a arrow at Helios as his eyes widened till I was in front of him and caught it and starting twirling it around in my hands while they all looked at me in shock. "How did you move that quickly?" Helios said in shock while I smiled and spoke "Like I said, things happened to me." I said as they all walked towards us as I tossed the arrow towards Selene as the one with the glasses on who must be Phoebe spoke "Who is this?" she said observing me like how Athena and Annabeth always do.
"This is Percy Jackson, said he has a proposition for us and can get us out of here." He said as their eyes widened and they looked at me. "Percy Jackson eh?" Selene said as I nodded "How do you plan on getting us out of here?" The littlest of them said as I looked down at her and realized it was Eos. "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Do you know somewhere we can talk?" I said politely as Eos nodded "We can talk at my house." she said as she flashed away as did Selene and Phoebe, and Helios. "I would've preferred they take me with them, but oh well." I said as I created a portal and found Eos house as I walked through it.
Helios POV
When I flashed away I had a feeling I forgot something till I looked around and noticed there was only four of us and not five. "Where's Percy?" Phoebe said as Selene spoke "He's probably lost, since he's never been here before." she said chuckling "I'm going to go get him." I said as I went to flash away till Eos spoke "No leave him, he is a mortal. He needs to learn his place here, we are still more powerful than him." she said as Selene and Phoebe nodded while I still felt unsure.
"I don't know, only immortals can come into the Void. Mortals can't, maybe he is a immortal, we all know how powerful he was as a demigod, he surpassed all the minor gods and a few of the Olympians. As a full immortal, he is probably stronger than Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades combined." I said as Selene laughed "Oh come on, loosen up. I sense the blood of a mortal on him, he needs to learn his place." She said as a portal appeared in front of us and Percy walked through it. "I would've appreciated it if you took me with you, but I can tell you're a little pissed that a mortal told you what to do. But I can assure you, I'm anything but mortal." He said as his eyes changed to what looks like the Universe in them as we gasped as they changed back to his sea green eyes that glowed with power.
We stood there in shock at how his eyes did that, how he created the portal, and how he knew exactly what we were thinking. "Are we going to go inside or are you going to continue staring at me?" He said as we snapped out of daze and watched him warily as Eos opened the door and we all walked in as Phoebe spoke through of minds. "How did he know what we were thinking? And how did his eyes do that?" she said as Selene spoke up "And how did he create the portal?" she said as Eos spoke up "I don't know, but we need to watch him." She said as I spoke "He might be an immortal. I'm telling you, don't push his luck. He defeated one of the strongest primordials as a demigod. If he is immortal, we are mere ants to his power and skill." I said as Percy spoke though our minds. "Listen to your brother, I am not a full immortal but you will know my story soon, don't push my luck." He said as we turned to look at him and gasped.
He was wearing armor that was silver and black with stars, planets, and galaxies rotating around it while he had a pitch black cloak that had the Universe rotating around it and a crown on his head that was silver, black, and white merged together perfectly with miniature galaxies, stars, and planets rotating around it while his eyes were a silver and black merged together perfectly. "Before you say anything, I have to wear this, sadly. But please, lead the way." He said as Selene, Phoebe, and Eos all kept watching him warily while I walked beside him and went to speak but he spoke first "I know they don't trust me and think they are stronger than me and that I need to learn my place, but they should know never to underestimate your enemies, no matter who they are." he said basically answering my question before I even thought it.
As we walked into Eos kitchen they were four seats as everyone sat down as while Selene and everyone else snickered as I muttered "Their going to get me killed." I said as Percy just sighed and created a throne that was made of the Universe and sat on it while another throne that looked like it was made of the sun appeared beside him. "Helios, since you're the only one not being a jerk to me. I made this for you to sit in since I know you don't want to sit in the chair." He said as we looked at him in shock until I nodded and sat in the throne and noticed it felt a lot better than the throne I sat on here in the Void as I groaned in pleasure. "Percy, you're the best." I said as he smiled and spoke "Immortals who can control their pride deserve only the best from me." he said as I smiled and leaned back into the throne.
"What's this deal you have, mortal?" Selene spat as a very very very large aura that made me feel like a speck of dust knocked me and everyone else onto the floor roughly as I struggled to look up and saw the aura was coming from Percy. When he spoke, it sounded like multiple people were speaking at once, and they didn't seem happy at all. "I come to you to offer you a chance to return back to Earth and help defend it. Lelantos, Asteria, Astraea, and Astraeus were all on the brink of fading but I saved them and in return they agreed to help. I am anything but a mortal. I am Perseus Jackson, Champion of Nyx, Erebus, Aether, Hemera, Gaea, Ouranos, Chronos, Ananke, Pontus, Hydros, and Tartarus, I am the Champion of Olympus and Champion of Chaos. I have completed the Twelve Labors of Hercules. I obtain the Sword of Chaos, Order, and Void, who are the three of the four most powerful beings in the Universe. I found all three of the most powerful swords in the Universe." He said as my eyes widened at all the power Percy has as he continued "I obtain the Blessing of Void, allowing me full control of the Void. I have died and came back, fell into Tartarus and came out sane, I can easily defeat Chaos and her brother Order. If I used my full power, I would tear the very fabric of the Universe in half." he said as the aura subsided to where we could stand up as we looked at him in shock.
"So tell me Selene, Phoebe, and Eos. Do I seem like a mortal?" He said in his scary multi-voice as they looked at him in shock and fear as he stood up and walked towards them then the weirdest thing happened. As he walked towards them Percy duplicated himself until three Percy's stood in front of Selene, Phoebe, and Eos as a sword appeared in each of their hands as the Percy looking at Eos had the Universe floating across him but he was pure white as he spoke in his multi-voice. "I obtain the Sword of Order, this sword lusts for power and vengeance. It focuses on all my negative thoughts and emotions." He said as the sword glowed pure white and looked like his body as another powerful aura came from the pure white Percy as the Percy on the other side looking at Phoebe spoke "I obtain the Sword of Chaos, this sword lusts for power and justice. It focuses on all my positive thoughts and emotions." he said as he was like the pure white Percy but was pitch black like how Percy's eyes changed to before as the sword glowed pitch black as another powerful aura came making us all fall to our knees roughly.
And real Percy in the middle spoke "I obtain the Sword of Void, with this sword I can easily destroy Chaos and her brother Order. I can create and destroy, take away life and give it, bring a faded immortal back from the Void or send them to the Void. But only a hero of pureness can wield these three swords and not fall to their power. I am the most powerful being in the Universe." they all said in unison as they merged and a aura stronger than all those before it made us all fall onto ours stomachs and make it seem like I was holding the weight of the world on my back but just my back, not with my arms and legs supporting me.
After a couple minutes the powerful aura disappeared as I and everyone else sighed in relief as we stood up with sweat pouring down our faces to see nearly all of Eos's house completely destroyed. "This is only about fifteen percent of my power, not even a quarter." He said as our eyes widened "You tell me to learn my place? You need to learn your place. Zeus and Ares tried to do the exact same thing you did, now Zeus is a mortal. I took away his immortality and if I want, I can take away yours and let the Void crush you slowly and painfully." he said coldly as our eyes widened even further as his eyes glowed pure golden like Kronos's eyes as everything started to fix itself until after a couple minutes everything was back to normal. Like not even a minute ago, we nearly got eradicated by the most powerful being in the Universe.
"So, are you going to sit down and shut up and let me explain what happening's or do you want to experience a quarter of my power?" He said as the Sword of Chaos and Order were in a scabbard in a x formation on his back while the Sword of Void was in his right hand and his legendary weapon Riptide was in its pen form being twirled around in his left hand as I spoke or more like squeaked. "We'll listen." I squeaked out as he nodded and three more thrones that resembled Phoebe's, Selene's and Eos's domains appeared across from Percy and the throne I was sitting in before I nearly got killed because of Selene's mistake.
"Sit, and we will discuss our terms and if you agree or not." He said as we all sat down like little children being scolded and put in timeout and in this case, we are.

When he finished we looked at him in shock, awe, and fear. I took a deep breath to regain my confidence and spoke "So you are king and commander of a whole city and command a total of eighty thousand soldiers from your army, the Olympian army, and the kings who joined you. Correct?" I said as he nodded and Selene spoke "You are in charge of a group of men and women who you call the Rangers, fifty of them can defeat Chaos, and six of them can defeat Chaos by herself and you can defeat Chaos by herself. And the other Rangers who died in combat are back, right?" she said as he nodded.
We all leaned back in shock of the power Percy has and the skill and power that his followers have. "Do your Rangers have any type of blessing?" Phoebe said curiously as Percy spoke "Basically a blessing like Artemis, except it doesn't include skills, just increased senses, partial immortality, and stamina and that's it. Everything else they trained for." he finished with a smile as we looked at him in shock "And there's a hundred and seventy five of them?" Eos said in shock while Percy nodded "Unlike me, they can use their full power, but whenever they do destruction follows." he said as he spoke before we could "So do you accept or not?" he said as I spoke "I will, I don't know about the others though." I said as everyone else nodded "Good now I just need to restore you back to your full power then we can leave." he said as a black aura surrounded him and reached out like vines towards us as we started backing up.
"Don't, I'm just using the Void to bring you back from the Void, but this will not be pleasant for you." He said as the black vine like things reached us and I felt a excruciating pain that kept getting worse and worse till I felt like I was going to black out till it disappeared as I sighed in relief. "Why did you do that? That was terrible!" Eos demanded while Percy just calmly spoke "If you look at each other, you will see that you are more stronger than ever." he said as I looked at the others and saw he was right. Everyone was glowing with a aura stronger than before, but nowhere near Percy's aura.
"I had to do that because since you were already faded, I had to pull you out of the Void. Just like how a monster dies and goes to Tartarus they reform in the painful way possible before they reformed. I had to basically do the same thing, but I had to pull you from a different realm to the next, its also tough on me because I had to pull four of you out at once instead of one at a time." He said as he looked slightly tired "You okay? You must be tired from that-" "Don't worry Helios, while I appreciate your concern, I've been through a lot worse." he said as a glow appeared in front of all of us and our weapons of power were floating in front of us.
"I basically just created your weapons of power, their the same thing just more powerful to suit you." He said as we grabbed our weapons of power as they glowed until he smacked his forehead "What's wrong?" I said as he spoke "I forgot I had your weapons of power, I have all the weapon of powers from all the faded immortals, yours included. Do you want your original ones, or the one's I gave you?" he said as Eos and Phoebe asked for theirs back as he looked at me and Selene. "I'll keep what you gave me Percy." I said as Selene nodded as I spoke "Can you summon my original symbol of power?" I said as he nodded and a glow appeared as I muttered a few words in Ancient Greek as it glowed until I gestured for Percy to grab it and he did as it glowed until it was literally made of fire as he looked at it shocked.
"I gave you my symbol of power, you now have full control of the sun. Any arrows you shoot will be made of fire and will require no need to light the arrow on fire, they will also appear and disappear on your will. They will also focus on your emotions, if you are mad, your arrows will blaze like the sun and will completely destroy whatever it hits." I said as Selene did the same thing "I hope you accept this as a token for my manners earlier, I had no right to do that." she said as he grabbed the bow as it glowed pure silver. "I also did the same thing that Helios did." She said as he smiled and thanked her and me for the gifts and changed them to a pair of rings, one was pure silver like the moon and the other was a blazing fire like the sun.
"Now, time to head back to Earth." He said as he created a portal and went to walk through it till he froze and closed the portal as we looked at him in confusion. "Why did you do that?" Selene said as Percy spoke "Do you know where Periboea is?" he said as we looked at him confused "Yes, why do you ask?" Eos said as he spoke "She is Lelantos's wife. I promised him I would bring her back, I never broke a promise yet and I don't plan on starting now. Can you take me to her?" he said as we nodded "Follow us." I said as we disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of a house while Percy came out of a portal.
"Is this where she lives?" He said as we nodded "She longs for the day to return to Lelantos or him join her in the Void, she hasn't gave up hope yet and I don't think she will." Phoebe said as he nodded with a smile on his face. "Perfect, can you lead the way? I don't feel like being attacked yet." Percy said as we nodded and opened the door to see Periboea on the couch "Periboea, can we talk?" Eos said softly as Periboea got up and walked over to us. "Hello Eos, Selene, Phoebe, Helios." She said with a smile till she noticed Percy and frowned in confusion "Who is the new person? And why do all of you seem stronger?" she said as I spoke "This is Percy Jackson, I'm pretty sure you heard of him?" I said as she nodded "Everyone knows of the mighty Percy Jackson." she said as I nodded and explained everything to her as her eyes widened and she looked at Percy in hope.
"Can you really bring us back?" She said hopefully as he nodded with a smile "Yes ma'am, I already brought back Selene and everyone else. It won't be a problem." he said as she instantly agreed as she went through the same process that we did, but it didn't seem to painful for her.
"Did it hurt?" I said as she shook her head "A little, but not a lot." she said as we looked at Percy "It's because she doesn't have powerful domains like you so it didn't require lots of energy." he said while we nodded in acceptance.
"Now we can head to Earth and reunite with everyone." He said as a flash appeared around him and where Percy was stood a really hot girl around the age of twenty three while we looked at the mysterious person in shock. "Don't worry everyone, it's me. I just changed into a female." She said as I spoke "Percy?!" I said as she nodded with a smile "Since I'm the champion of Chaos, I have all her powers, this included." he said while we looked at Percy in shock "I hope you don't mind if we stop by Camp Jupiter, do you?" she said while we got confused.
"Camp Jupiter?" Selene said as Percy's eyes widened "Oh yes I forgot, the Olympian and minor gods adapted a roman personality. Greece and Rome where rivals and whenever the demigods met, they clashed so the gods decided to keep use the mist to keep Roman demigods away from Greek demigods. Romans went to Camp Jupiter in California and Greeks went to Camp Half-Blood in New York near Olympus. But after the Second Giant War, the Greeks and Romans get along, they still have their arguments, but other than that you didn't really miss anything." she said as we nodded as she opened a portal and gestured for us to walk through.
When we came out the other side we were on Earth in a forest. "It's been a long time since I've been in the forests." Selene said as Percy spoke "We shouldn't be far from the camp, just a few miles away. Feel free to ask me anything." Percy said as I spoke "Who's the King of Olympus now?" I said as she spoke "My dad, Poseidon." she said as I nodded in acceptance as we continued asking him random questions but Phoebe was asking the most, I'm surprised that he didn't tell her to shut up, I would have.
After about ten minutes we appeared on a hill to see a battle raging between people in white armor and demigods in purple t-shirts who I guess were the Roman demigods fighting. "You guys stay here, I'm not questioning your abilities to fight. I just don't want Order to know that I brought back four faded Titans and a immortal wife back from the Void." She said as we nodded as Percy changed back into a male and pulled Riptide and the Sword of Chaos out. "Time to party." Percy said as he was a blur of black moving down the hill as our eyes widened.
"Might as well watch, see who we're dealing with and how skilled Perseus is." Phoebe said as we nodded and stood on the hill watching Percy getting closer and closer.
Vivian POV
"Camp Jupiter is under attack." Mars said as our eyes widened and I spoke "Neptune, you need to send all the Roman demigods back to their camp and we'll send help." I said as he nodded as the Roman demigods disappeared in a flash while I spoke "Anthony, can you and Tyler take a small group of Rangers with you to help them?" I said as he and Tyler nodded as a group of ten came to them as they disappeared as Chaos opened up a screen to see Order's men attacking Camp Jupiter. "Why aren't they destroying the camp, not that I'm complaining." Diana said as Hannah spoke up "Their going to take it over as their headquarters and since its closer to Mount Tam. It'll be the perfect position for them." she said as we saw Tyler and Anthony appear with the group of Rangers as they started to slowly decrease Order's numbers till more men appeared in the forests as they had to shift their attacks to them.
"Rayner, take a small group of successors to help them out. Damien, you, Caroline, and Danny go with them." I said as Rayner nodded and took Hannah, Amelia, Lucilius, Diana, Amy, and Allen as they all disappeared in different colored flashes as they appeared in the chaos ensuing in the camp. "Lady Artemis, do you think you can send a group of hunters to help out as support?" I said as she nodded and sent Thalia, Phoebe, Atlanta, and about twelve hunters with her as I looked at the campers that Percy brought back.
"Luke, can you and the others join them?" I said as he nodded but then got a embarrassed look on his face "Uh, where is Camp Jupiter, I've never been there before." he said rubbing his neck awkwardly as Chaos spoke "It's in California, I'll flash you there." she said as he and the others nodded as they disappeared in a flash and appeared right in the middle of the chaos as Luke had to duck over a ax that would've separated his head from his body.
"You could've flashed them a little farther away from the destruction, mother." Erebus said as she smiled "I was in a rush." she said as we saw the forces slowly dwindling until another large force appeared from behind them and from the east as they had to split up.
We watched as they were basically fighting on all four fronts until I saw Zane and Troy among the midst as Rayner and Tyler saw them and ran at them as they pulled out their swords as ran at them as they clashed.
"Why is Zane a really great fighter? And why are his eyes white?" Athena said as I realized what Order did "He either adopted Zane or he made him his champion." I said as Zane grabbed Tyler and threw him into one of the barracks wall and shot a beam of power at Rayner that sent Rayner through the wall as Tyler got up and ran back at Zane but was being forced on defense since he was fighting Zane and Troy at once until Troy brought his sword across Tyler's back leg forcing him to fall onto a knee as Zane brought his sword down to kill him but it was blocked by a sword as Zane and Troy's eyes widened while we smiled.
"Percy." Neptune said as shadows wrapped around Troy and threw him down while he brought his fist to Zane's nose breaking it and throwing him back as Percy pulled out his hunting knifes and quickly forced Zane on defense.
"His powers that Order gave him won't help him because Percy is a legacy of Order and obtains the Sword of Order, he is nothing compared to Percy's skill." Athena said as Zane tried to head butt Percy but he just turned his body to water as he went through him as Percy turned back into a solid figure and spun Zane around and brought his head to his knee then tossing him in the air as lightning struck Zane and threw him back down in the ground, leaving a crater.
Zane slowly walked out, his pure white eyes glowing with hate as he shot a huge beam of power at Percy but he just rolled his eyes and absorbed it back, but it was black and white as Zane's eyes widened as it struck him throwing him through several buildings. While Percy was focused on Zane, Troy snuck up behind him and brought his sword down but was blocked by a pair of hunting knifes as Tyler quickly forced Troy on defense pushing him away from Percy as shadows wrapped around a figure and tossed Zane out as, was bloody and beaten.
"Look at you, blessed by Order and still couldn't defeat me." He mocked as Zane stood up with and charged at Percy while he remained weaponless as he grabbed Zane's right hand and twisted it forcing him to drop the sword as Percy kicked him to his knees. But Zane's free hand was creeping down towards a hunting knife as he gripped it and brought it up to Percy quickly as our eyes widened but Percy was quicker and redirected the knife to Zane's throat as his eyes widened and was trying to overpower Percy but we all knew it was futile as Percy was getting the knife closer and closer to Zane's throat as it slowly pierced his neck and was going deeper as Zane tried to desperately tried to choke Percy.
"When you get to the Fields of Punishment, tell Gabe Ugliano that Percy Jackson sends his regards." Percy said coldly as Zane's hand went limp as Percy let him fall back lifeless as his white eyes stared at nothing as Percy dodged a incoming strike and brought Riptide out and started cutting through Order's men until he disappeared and appeared on a roof as a bow that looked like it was literally made of the sun was in his hands as he pulled back the bow and released arrows that blazed with fire that once made impact exploded with fire that spread to Order's men but completely avoided the campers.
"Helios's symbol of power." Apollo said in awe as Order's men tried to fall back but were stopped by a large column of fire that surrounded them, boxing them in as it disappeared and his hunting knifes appeared in his hand as he jumped down and started cutting through Order's men until the last one fell as the campers cheered while Percy looked around till he headed over to the successors, immortal campers, Rangers, and hunters who were sent here.
"Thank goodness you came at the right time Perce, if you didn't we would've been screwed." Rayner said as Percy spoke "Don't worry about it, are all of you okay?" he said as they all nodded "Where's Zane?" Rayner said as Percy pointed to the lifeless body of Zane Skye as they all nodded. "Glad he's out of the way. Did you grab the other Titans?" Thaila said as Percy nodded "Yes, after some issues they agreed." he said while they raised an eyebrow.
"What happened?" Tyler said as Percy spoke "They thought that I was a mortal and I need to learn my place but that thought changed very quickly when they felt my aura." he said as they all chuckled "They all do that." Rayner said as they all nodded "Reyna, gather up all the Roman campers and legacies and tell them its time to leave." he said as Reyna nodded but then spoke "What about their armor and supplies, they need all of that." she said as Percy spoke "I'll take care of it, but we need to get everyone out of here before Order sends another attack force to wipe out the Romans." he said as she nodded and went to gather up all the Romans.
Linebreak
"Finally got all that out of the way, head back to Olympus everyone and I'll go grab Helios, Selene, Eos, Phoebe, and Periboea then we'll meet you there." He said as they all nodded as some flashed away while Percy created a portal for the people who couldn't flash till he stopped Luke and looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong Perce?" He said as Percy spoke "You're missing a chunk of your hair, did a ax try to take your head off?" he said as Luke spoke "Chaos." was all he said as Percy smiled and sent him though the portal and appeared on Olympus.
"Looks like Percy got our allies." Luke said as we all nodded and started having small talk with each other about the attack or just anything basically until a portal appeared in the middle of the throne room.
Helios POV
We watched in shock at how deadly Percy was and how skilled he was with the hunting knifes, swords, and archery. "I thought children of Poseidon were terrible at archery?" Selene said in shock at Percy's skills till we saw him jump down from the roof and his hunting knifes appeared in his hand as he was basically a black blur moving though the army till the last soldier fell as the campers all cheered as Percy stood up and walked over to a group of people and started talking to them. "I thought the same thing." I said in shock until they all nodded as some disappeared while Percy summoned a portal as what looked like Artemis's hunters walked though it till he stopped the last one and looked at him in confusion and said something as the blonde haired boy around the age of twenty four spoke as Percy smiled and sent him though the portal as he disappeared and appeared beside us.
"You guys ready to head to Olympus?" He said as we nodded as Selene spoke "I thought children of Poseidon were terrible at archery?" she said in shock as Percy spoke "I can thank Hemera for that. When you meet the primodials and my mother Chaos, don't bow to them, they hate it. Just act like you would around each other, they aren't going to destroy you for not calling them 'Lady' or 'Lord'. They aren't like Zeus and the other Olympians. Their pretty laidback, just don't piss them off and we'll be good. The only people who pissed them off was Zeus and Ares and that's it." he said as created a portal and gestured for us to walk through it as Selene went first, Eos, Phoebe, then Periboea who thanked Percy once more but he just waved it off until me and him remained. "Ready to go?" I said as he nodded and we walked through the portal.
Percy POV
As I closed the portal, I saw everyone smiling at me while Helios and everyone else looked around in awe. "Hello everyone, I gathered up our allies." I said as Lelantos walked forward and saw Periboea and tackled her in a hug as I smiled as he walked over and shook my hand so fast he moved quicker than Aether did whenever there was strawberry cake and desert in the dining hall on Tuesday and Thursday. "Thank you so much Percy, I don't know how I could thank you." He said as I spoke "You can start by letting go of my hand, I think you popped my arm multiple times." I said as he quickly released my hand and muttered his apologies.
"So what's next Percy?" Aether said as I spoke "I need to find King Tarkan's son so he won't surrender. Like I said before, King Tarkan is the only thing between Order having his full forces here on Earth making our job a lot tougher than it already is." I said as everyone nodded "Do you know where he is at though?" my dad said as I sighed.
"Sadly no, all I know is that his son loves to go to fire planets, but his son will never speak up. He can't become a king if he can't even make choices by himself." I said as they nodded in agreement while Athena spoke "Where was he kidnapped at?" she said as Aether spoke "Guards said they escorted him to his room and he went to bed, two of the guards stayed in his room. Said they dozed off for not even thirty seconds and he was gone, but everything was like it should be and there was no sign of resistance. Everything was in order." he said as everyone looked at him shocked while I froze and started thinking about who has King Tarkan's son.
"Percy, do you know something?" Vivian said as I nodded "I think I know who took King Tarkan's son. We know that Order is involved but we don't know who did it. Zane is dead, Caroline is on our side, Theron's son isn't a master of stealth, so who does that leave?" I said as everyone was thoughtful till their eyes widened and Caroline spoke up "Kyle." she said confusing everyone as I spoke "Kyle is the successor of Order. But why does that name seem familiar?" I said as the successors nodded "It does seem familiar, like it's a faint memory." Rosa said as the successors nodded as did I.
As my dad went to speak a message appeared in front of us and it showed King Tarken's son tied up while his eyes were filled with fear. "Prince are you okay?" I said as he didn't answer as I went to speak again till Kyle walked up wearing his white cloak while he had a sword that was like the Sword of Order but wasn't radiating power like it. "Hello Percy, it's been a long time since we last talked peacefully." He said as Athena spoke "What do you mean?" she said but he either didn't hear her or just ignored her "What do you mean?" I said as he spoke "You really don't remember me?" he said as I shook my head confused.
"Remember, you wouldn't let me join the Primordial Army because I was your brother outside the successors, Rangers, and primordials. Come on Perce, remember now?" He said as my eyes widened as I remembered my first true friend outside the army and successors, Kyle Maurice Blaze.
"Kyle, what happened to you?" I whispered in shock as he laughed "Order happened Percy, he came to me and offered me a proposition, now I am more stronger than before." he said as I felt betrayed then pure fury enter my veins "You died." I hissed through clenched teeth. "I felt your soul enter the Underworld. For years we mourned over your death and this entire time YOU WERE WORKING WITH ORDER!" I shouted as I lost control of my power and cracks started appearing in the throne room, thunder and lightning was rocking the sky, the seas were getting violent until I finally controlled myself, knowing that I done some damage to the Universe and will have to fix it after. Once I controlled my aura everyone was looking at me in shock while Kyle had an emotionless mask on.
"You left me in the Underworld, you and all your closest brothers and sisters died but you came back from the dead." He spat as I spoke "I didn't bring myself back from the dead, Void did. He brought everyone back from the dead, I still can't bring someone back from the dead. If there was anyway that I could've brought you back, I would've. But you made your choice to fight for Order, you aren't the Kyle that I knew all those years ago." I spat back as he laughed and spoke "Don't try to fight me Percy, I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to. If you choose to fight me, I'm on Planet Dagoba, the prince's favorite planet. You're making a huge mistake fighting me Percy." he said as I spoke "No, it's you who are making a mistake fighting me. I going to put you down for good and this time, you won't be getting back up." I snarled as I swiped my hand through the message.
Poseidon POV
"No, it's you who are making a huge mistake fighting me. I'm going to put you down for good and this time, you won't be getting back up." Percy snarled in a very unhuman like way as he swiped through the message while we looked at him in shock. He was taking deep breaths till he looked at us and I saw multiple emotions in his eyes, pain, rage, guilt and many more emotions. When he spoke his voice was cold and emotionless "I'll be back." he said as Vivian tried to stop him "Percy-" but he didn't stop as he disappeared while we looked in shock.
"Has Percy ever lost control of his power like that before?" Athena said as the successors and Rangers shook their heads "Never, he's been mad before but never lost control of his power or temper, even when you stole the Book of Aguilar De Nerha from his chambers. This is the first time he's ever done that." Anthony said as Chaos made a screen appear as we saw Percy on a fire planet looking around till he saw what looks like a work mine there as he flashed there.
When he got there, he was on a platform while Kyle was standing there with what looked like guards around him while the prince stood beside Kyle bound in rope. "I see you ignored my warning." Kyle said as Percy started to grow wolf fangs while his eyes glowed with fury as Kyle nodded his heads as all the guards pulled out weapons as Percy snarled and ran at them.
We watched in horror and shock at how brutal he was, he made the tortures that he and the Rangers gave to Theron's associates and family look like a playground compared to what he was doing right now till he had the last guard in a chokehold till he snapped his neck violently and kicked him to the ground while blood was visible on his body as he stood up slowly and glared at Kyle.
"I see your wolf side is taking over." He said as he took out the sword he had from before "Let's settle this like men, shall we?" he said as Percy spoke in his multi-voice "Gladly." he snarled as the Sword of Chaos appeared in his hands as Kyle shoved the prince into the wall knocking him unconscious as he ran at Percy while he ran back as they clashed and started moving like light as we watched in shock as the fire started rising around them and circling them moving faster and faster till all we saw were two blurs of black and white and a wall of fire surrounding them.
"Why is the fire look like it's debating who to obey?" Athena said while not taking her eyes off the screen "Kyle is a son of Hyperion and Percy is a Champion of Hestia and Hephaestus, both had their powers increased. The fire doesn't know who to obey." Vivian said as Percy grabbed Kyle and threw him straight through one of the walls as our eyes widened as he stood there shaking in anger as Kyle got out.
Before we even knew what happened Percy was already in front of Kyle and had him by the throat and slammed him hard into the platform making cracks appear in the ground as he brought his fist down while Kyle moved to the side as his fist went through the ground while our eyes widened as cracks started appearing even more in the ground as the platform was falling apart as the prince rolled to the edge and feed himself while Kyle wrapped his legs around Percy and tried to choke him but Percy head butted him...hard.
"Percy's really trying to kill him." Athena said in shock as blood oozed out of Kyle's head as Percy raised his hand as claws were forming and he brought his hand down as Kyle put his arms in a x formation as Percy's claws scratched him as Percy was trying to eat his face off as he kept snapping at him and getting closer with each attempt till a white beam knocked Percy back and into one of the walls.
He pulled himself out as he looked for the prince and saw him running down the hallway as Kyle and Percy looked at each other then took off while their swords came back to them as they were a blur of black and white chasing after the prince till they were in what looked like a control room as Percy was attack Kyle relentlessly hitting all the panels making sparks flash while Kyle could barely keep up until Percy brought his sword down as they connected and they both went back in opposite directions.
They both landed on panels until what sounded like a warning horn sound but Percy and Kyle both ignored it and continued attacking each other till Percy tackled Kyle through the wall as our eyes widened. "Percy's beyond pissed. I've never seem him act so..." Rosa struggled to find the right words till Thalia spoke "Animal like?" she said as Rosa nodded till Percy tackled him through another wall till they landed on the ground as Percy got up and brought his knee to Kyle's face as he went back till shadows wrapped around him and brought him back towards Percy as he brought his fist to his nose again as Kyle kicked him in the mouth. Again, they both went in opposite directions.
They hopped out and both pulled out a pair of hunting knifes, Percy his usual black pair while Kyle had a white pair as they attacked each other and started moving quicker till Percy kicked Kyle up into the roof as he knocked the lights out as it went dark and was quiet as we watched in tense silence.
It was quiet till the sounds of swords being unsheathed as a pure white one glowed while the owner had pure white eyes while the other had a pitch black sword that glowed while the owner had eyes that were like the Universe as they stared each other down till they ran at each other and all we could see were the sparks and the swords moving till the lights started flickering and we could see Kyle had a bruise on his right cheek while Percy had nothing on him as the lights died out again as they continued their onslaught on each other. They continued attacking each other till Percy kicked Kyle's sword away till he tackled Percy though a window as they landed on a support beam that the prince was on trying to cross. As they continued fighting, the beam started groaning under the weight as our eyes widened as did the prince's but Percy and Kyle continued trying to kill each other as Percy had his hands wrapped around Kyle's neck and was getting tighter as he hissed "We mourned for your death, your sisters, your brothers, your father, your mother, Serenity mourned for you the most. You broke her heart and now I'm going to break your neck." he said as Kyle's was started to lose conscious till the support beam snapped as they all fell.
They were at least five hundred feet in the air and if they all didn't look where they were going, their all going to be burned alive. Luckily Percy noticed and used Kyle to propel himself towards the prince as he caught him and tossed him to the ground, he wasn't going to make it till a burst of wind supported him and got him to shore as Kyle tackled Percy straight into the lava as our eyes widened.
"Are they alive?" Helios said worriedly as the fire rose up and Percy was riding it like a wave and Kyle was using it like how Jason uses the wind but Percy's right forearm down to his fingers was covered in lava and Kyle's was the same way but with his left forearm as they glared at each other. "Why are their left and right forearms covered in lava?" I said as they all looked at them till Hemera's eyes widened "Oh poor Percy." she said as we looked at her confused.
"What do you mean Hem?" Erebus said as she spoke "Their forearms are like that because they lost theirs. So their using fire to forge their forearms." she said sadly as our eyes widened to see Percy using water to cool it off and it started to forge into a arm while Kyle did the same thing. "Oh Percy." Vivian said softly as they both were gripping their arms till they looked at each other "Kind of like the saying an eye for an eye. Instead of being an eye, it's our arms. Ironic huh?" Kyle said as Percy spoke "Definitely ironic." he said coldly as Kyle continued "You can't beat me Percy." he said as Percy spoke "What makes you say that?" he said as he turned to water and launched himself into Kyle as he staggered and fell off and landed on the shore as Kyle's eyes were changing from sea green to pure white. "I'll make you suffer from the inside before I end you." Percy said as Kyle started to turn red from the inside out then to a blue color as Kyle was sweating buckets while his hand reached for his sword but it looks like Kyle was fighting Percy for control.
Kyle had his sword in his hand and was bringing it slowly to his stomach as Percy spoke "What's wrong Kyle? Do you still think you can defeat me now?" he said as the sword was slowly piercing his stomach as he had tears forming in his eyes till his eyes turned pure white as a bright flash appeared around Kyle as Percy was thrown out of Kyle's body as he had a piece of the sword in his stomach while Kyle had the same thing as they both laid there groaning in pain.
After a couple minutes of struggling, Percy had finally pulled the sword from his stomach and stood up slowly while Kyle lay there groaning in pain as blood surrounded him while he was as pale as a sheet. "You brought this upon yourself Kyle, it didn't have to be this way." Percy said as Kyle tried to laugh but coughed up blood instead "I know, I wanted power and I got it but in return I lost everything. And now I must pay the price." he said as he took a shuddering breath and spoke "I'm sorry Percy, tell my family I'm sorry and tell Serenity that I'm sorry for giving her so much pain." he said as he looked past Percy and his eyes widened as he lurched forward as the remaining sword pierced even deeper as he shoved Percy out of the way as a spear pierced his lung as he got out his hunting knife and threw it with accuracy towards the soldier who threw it as he cried out in pain.
Percy sat there wide-eyed till he tried to pull the spear out till Kyle stopped him "Don't, you can't fix this. I must face my punishment and I won't run away from it." he said as Percy went to speak but nodded nonetheless as Kyle coughed up more blood but spoke "T-Three w-weeks P-Perce, i-in t-three w-weeks T-T-Theron w-will k-kill the p-prince to get K-King T-Tarken to s-surrender." he said as Percy nodded.
"H-He is in R-R-Ro-" Kyle tried to finish but couldn't as Percy spoke "Rome." he said as Kyle nodded with a smile as he laid his head back and took his last breath as a ship was leaving as Percy looked up and saw it leave. "Rome eh? Three weeks. I'm coming for you Theron. You and Order will pay for all the suffering you have caused." He said as he pulled the remainder of the spear and remainder of the sword out of Kyle's stomach and wrapped him up in his white cloak and changed the sign of Order to a sign of Chaos as he put the body in the lava as he watched it slowly burn alive as he looked up at the stars.
"Stars are beautiful this night eh Kyle?" He said as the flames rose up as he continued "I personally think that Astraeus is doing this. But whatever I'll thank him later." he said as the flames rose higher and splashed him as he shook it off. "Even in death, you're still annoying." He said as he took a deep breath and spoke "Three weeks eh? I can do that." he said as he looked back at the shore and saw something glittering as he walked over to it and picked it up to see it was a necklace with a picture of a beautiful girl who must be Serenity, Percy, and Kyle in it as it was shaped like a heart as the flames rose again as he nodded "I'll give it to her." he said as the flames went back to normal as he disappeared from the planet and appeared in front of his cabin as he opened it and slowly closed the door as his cloak billowed as he walked up the steps gently while blood was still pouring from his wound as he went into his room and closed the door as it ended.
We all looked around in shock until Vivian spoke "I'm going to go check on him, he needs to get that wound check and his...arm." she said as we all knew what she was talking about. "We'll join you." I said softly as everyone nodded while we all disappeared in different flashes while some of us brought the campers as we all appeared in front of the Chaos Cabin as we walked in and headed up the stairs as we all stood in front of Percy's door as Vivian went to speak but Percy spoke first. "Doors open, if you planned on surprising me, you shouldn't have let Apollo and Hermes come in last." He said as Apollo and Hermes smiled sheepishly as Vivian opened the door as we saw Percy on his bed twirling the necklace around his fingers while his forearm that he lost was hanging off to the side glowing with fire.
"Feel free to sit anywhere. I don't really care." He said as we all sat on the chairs, couches, while me and Vivian sat on the bed beside him looking at him in concern. "If you're thirsty or hungry there's a fridge by my work desk, feel free to grab a snack." He said still twirling the necklace around while we all sat there, not knowing what to say because of what just transpired today.
"Some day huh?" Apollo said as Percy spoke "Yes, some day." he said still twirling the necklace while Vivian gently took his arm and started to trace the sides of it and grabbed some medical supplies and started fixing his wound but Percy just kept twirling the necklace. "Every kill someone because of another person's mistake?" He said as he stopped twirling the necklace but kept his eyes on the roof "Yes, Percy we all have." I said as he nodded "Doesn't feel good huh? Feels terrible especially if you were close with them." he said while we all nodded.
"I know that I scared you with my reaction and how I violently killed those guards. I don't blame you, wherever I go, death and destruction follows. I'm a pawn, a man bred for war and born to end lives. So please, don't try to hide the fear just to make me feel better, because it's only going to make me feel more guilty, I don't care if you look at me in fear, disgust or not. Nobodies perfect or right, everyone has a dark side that must be unleased sometime. At night I see their faces." He said confusing us "Who's faces?" Vivian said gently as Percy spoke "Of all the men I killed, every night I go to sleep and I'm in the Underworld standing on one side of the River Styx while their on the other side." he said while we looked at him shocked "Do you know what their doing?" he said as he sat up as his eyes were like the sun, beautiful but yet horrifying.
"What are they doing?" Chaos said gently as Percy spoke "Their waiting for me." he said as we froze and looked at him "Waiting for you?" Annabeth said as he nodded. "Waiting for me to pass to the next realm to join them. In what, I don't know but I hope it's not to join them in the Fields of Punishment. Their waiting, I tried asking them why but they just shake their heads and say the same thing "We're waiting for you." at first I didn't know what they meant till I realized their waiting for me to join them in the Underworld. As Theron nears you will have to kill another living person, all of you have too. No matter how young or old you are it will happen, weather you like it or not. I know some of you wish to join the Primordial Army but first it begins here, how far are you willing to go to take another person's life. Not because their a boy but because you have to, because it you don't kill that person, they can be responsible for someone's death. These soldiers Theron has have no problem with killing, they do it all the time but this is going to be your first. Can you do it? There's a big difference in killing monsters and humans. Monsters come back, humans can't. Hell I shouldn't even be alive. But I am." he said as he looked at his arm as did we.
"You think it's easy killing another person, it's not. You will feel guilt and feel disgusted with yourself, think how the Rangers feel. Look at them and you will see it clear as day in their eyes, look up Rangers." He said as they looked up as we looked into their eyes and saw he was right. Clear as day was guilt, shame, regret, disgust and multiple emotions flashing through their eyes "Tell me, do you see it in their eyes?" he said as we nodded "Clear as day." Camille said softly as he chuckled "Now look into my eyes and tell me what you see." he said as we looked into his eyes and saw disgust, disdain, shame, regret, guilt, and many more.
"What do you see?" He said as I spoke "Shame, guilt, regret, disgust, disdain, and much more." I said softly as he nodded "You immortals kill whoever you want and have no remorse because you have no heart. You don't feel pain like we do, in some ways we demigods are stronger than you gods." he said as he leaned back onto his bed. "You can stay here if you want, I won't stop you. Just don't steal anything, you can sleep in here or downstairs." he said as he put the necklace on his desk and turned to the side "Vivian, where's Daniel?" he said as she spoke "With Hestia." she said as he nodded "You can leave if you wish to." he said as she laid down beside him "Why would I leave?" she said as he chuckled and turn back to face her.
"Goodnight everyone, Titans, we'll get you setup soon, see you in the morning." He said as he wrapped his arms around Vivian and was asleep in a matter of seconds as I stood up gently as did everyone else minus the Rangers who all stayed in his room as I shut the door gently and looked at everyone.
"He's right. It's going to be different killing a human than a monster." Thalia said as we nodded "They must feel terrible, we've seen all the stuff they been through and we've seen how much they've killed. People are scared of them but that's because they don't know the full story, they feel guilty and disgusted with themselves. I don't even want to know how much guilt and disgust Percy feels." Camille said as we nodded.
"Let's head downstairs, it's been a crazy day for Percy, too much is on his shoulders at the time. He needs to relax." Hades said as we nodded and headed downstairs.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! Feel free to review!
