A/N: Hey guys. So, yeah. This fanfic is pretty much dead, because, well, I don't really put that much effort in it. So, yeah. This'll be the end and much more explaining will be in the A/N below. Enjoy

P/S: I'm maintaining a third person's pov throughout this chapter, but I'll switch places.

Chapter 27

Third Person's POV

Rube stood there at the entrance of the room with Ai and Liz. They looked pretty beaten up, probably because they met Nico and the others.

"Hello, mother." Rube said, making the last word sound like the world's most horrible insult. Nyx snarled at them as she pointed their sword at them, momentarily forgetting about Percy.

"So, you guys decide to join in." Nyx said evilly. "Well, this'll be fun. I hope you can entertain me more than your father did." Nyx said. Liz pulled Rube closer and whispered in his ear.

"How are we supposed to beat her?" Liz asked.

"We'll figure it out eventually. Right now we need to- dive!" Rube pushed Liz and Ai to one side while he rolled to the other as Nyx fired a beam of black energy It blasted the wall and nearly hit Annabeth if it weren't for Al who managed to pull her out of the way. Al rested Annabeth against the wall and struggled to stand up.

"Al, you're injured." Reyna said.

"It's okay, Rey. I'll be fine." Al said reassuringly before joining his sister. "Come on, Nyx. Is that the best you've got?" Al said. Nyx hissed as she lashed her whip at Al. Rube intercepted by throwing a hammer, which made the whip wrapped itself around the hammer instead of Nyx. Liz fired a silver beam of energy, but Nyx countered with a shield of energy of her own. Ai, for some reason, closed his eyes as he muttered something in ancient language.

"This'll be a long fight." Rube muttered.

Back at the body of Tartarus . . .

Nico was struggling hard to help his friends as best as he could, as Jason was forced to fight on the ground because the Keres and angels got a little too overwhelming. Without Luke by his side, there was no one to cover his back in the air. The gods were tiring and their powers were depleting. Michael could barely keep up with Thanatos even with Alia assisting him.

"Nico, we need to take Thanatos down. These things won't stop until he's gone." Jason said.

"How'd you know?"

"He's the one who's bringing them back." Jason stabbed an empousai in the chest and swiped his sword sideways, decapitating a dracaenae. "Take him out, and maybe we'll have a chance of winning."

Nico nodded and made his way towards Michael. He didn't make any progress because he was being held back by several groups of monsters. The energy it took to generate massive amounts of electricity earlier had drained him, and he regretted it. Nico thrusts his hand out, frying several monsters into ashes with his black lightning.

Thanatos made a lucky hit and got Michael square in the chest with the shaft of its scythe. Michael flew backwards and slammed onto Alia. Thanatos lumbered towards them in a slow and steady pace, knowing that he had them within his grasp. As Thanatos raised his scythe, pain shot throughout his body, coming from his back. Nico stood there with his Stygian Iron sword. Thanatos was about to whip him aside when he felt something yanked on his scythe. Then, another pain shot up from his front. Michael had grabbed Thantos' scythe and stabbed him from the front.

"You lose." Michael panted. Thanatos crumbled into dust, but his scythe remained. "Thanks," Michael said as he took Nico's hand. Nico grinned and helped him up.

"No problem. Come on, we've got more to deal with."

Michael, now wielding Thantos' scythe, was now weaving though ranks of monsters, bringing death in his wake. With each kill of a monster, their soul got sucked into the scythe, making it more and more powerful by the second.

Then, an ungodly roar was heard throughout Tartarus.

"That can't be good." Alia muttered.

And it sure wasn't.

Standing at least the size a few hundred feet with a bronze armor and scaly dragon legs with his hair being braided with various weapons, Porphyrion, the King of Giants in his strongest form.

"Oh," Michael squeaked. How the hell did he managed to fit in Tartarus, no one had a clue, but they had to deal with him fast, someway. Michael looked at the gods, but they were just as pale as he was. Porphyrion was born to oppose Zeus and since Zeus isn't here . . . Michael had to take him, even if Michael looked like a fly next to Porphyrion.

"Hah! I will finally have my revenge against Olympus! Mother Night has raised me from Tartarus! I am now the strongest and most powerful being alive!" Porphyrion roared. His voice alone was enough to make the cavern shook.

"Take care of the monsters, I'll deal with him." Michael said.

"Are you fucking out of your mind?" Alia pulled him aside. "We need to fall back. You know we're outnumbered."

"We can't leave Percy and the others here." Michael said sternly. Alia stayed silent.

"If you're going, I'm going with you." Alia said.

"No you're not."

"Yes I am, and there's nothing you can do about it." Alia took out her Materia and summoned Phoenix. She flew upwards, leaving Michael behind. Michael went after her with Thanathos' scythe in his hands.

"You're sending a mere mortal against me?!" Porphyrion rumbled with laughter. Alia fired an arrow at him and exploded, but she might as well be firing at a mountain. "Your powers are useless against me."

"Michael! Get down now!" Nico shouted. Without warning, Porphyrion smacked Alia and Michael out of the air and made them land roughly onto the ground. "Oh shit."

Porphyrion was ready for another attack when the acid air of Tartarus suddenly got blown by a strong wind. Soon, winds started to whip around everyone. Unfortunate Keres got caught up with the wind and got flown away to who knows where. From the ceiling, the red clouds swirled around and touched the ground, forming a large typhoon.

Typhoon . . .

Ah shit.

From the typhoon, formed a figure. A figure with an ever-changing body, ever-changing face and a body that is a mix of human and reptile and is shrouded with storm clouds.

Athena quickly rushed towards Michael's side. Her face was cut in the cheek with ichor flowing out of it. "Michael, we have to retreat. Typhon, he's awake. He's going to crush us!"

"Porphyrion!" Typhon bellowed, which was something Michael didn't expect at all.

"Typhon! Care to join us, uncle?" Porphyrion asked, booming with laughter.

"Actually, I'm here with my ally, Perseus Jackson."

No one knew which was weirder. Everyone had their jaws dropped or Typhon announced that Percy is his ally. Did Percy contacted Typhon before? Did he managed to bring Typhon as an ally?

"What?!" Porphyrion roared. "Treason! You serve Gaia! Our mother!"

"Not this time."

Typhon threw a punch at Porphyrion and met his skin. It sounded like the world's loudest flesh-slapping sound ever. As the two beings towered over them like the size of a skyscraper and was trading blows, the fight was still going on.

"We need to help them here." Michael ordered.

Battle with Nyx.

While Ai was still in his spell-chanting state, Rube, Al and Liz tried their best to keep Nyx at bay, but the primordial was simply to strong for them. The others tried to help, but they were unable to move or talk.

Percy watched their battle and was impressed that his children had improved tremendously, but he was angry at himself for not fighting this battle himself.

Rube created a hammer and threw it at Al, who caught it and tried to slam Nyx with it, but Nyx spun and kick Al in the chest. Distracted with the other twin, Liz snuck up to her and fired a silver energy beam at her. Nyx was fast, because she managed to react and conjured up a shield for herself, deflecting the blow.

"Give it up, Nyx!" Rube shouted. "You can't beat all of us." Though Rube himself wasn't sure about that. So far, Nyx was the one doing the damage to them. They were trying their best to protect Ai because he was working on something. Something that only the three of them know.

"Why don't all four of you fight me, so it would be more of a challenge?" Nyx taunted. Rube gritted his teeth and dashed towards Nyx. Nyx lashed her whip out towards Rube and it managed to wrap around Rube's neck. Rube made a choking sound as Nyx dragged him closer.

"Rube!" Liz and Al shouted at the same time.

"Nyx!" A voice shouted. Rube recognized the voice, as she was the one who created him. Chaos descended gracefully from the ceiling in her female form, shrouded in a black hood. "Stop this nonsense at once."

"I won't!" Nyx shouted back. "You've disowned me and took them instead of me!" Nyx pointed at all of them. "Besides, Helix forbade you from interfering!"

What was she talking about?

"Nyx, stop this and you won't suffer the consequences." Chaos said sternly.

Nyx laughed, a maniacal laugh that proved she was crazy. "I won't. Porphyrion is out there right now, squashing the Olympians." Nyx had a triumphant smirk on her face as she pulled Rube even more, choking him. Percy wanted to help, but his whole body felt numb. He couldn't even lift one finger.

"Very well then." Chaos said sternly. "As I leave this room, you will be defeated and never to return again. You know where I'll send you." Nyx's eyes widened as she paled.

"No, you're lying! It doesn't exist!"

"It does, and you know it." Chaos said as she disappeared from the room. Enraged, Nyx threw Rube aside and he landed right next to Percy. Rube groaned under the pain on his chest.

Nyx fired beam after beam of energy at everything, blasting everyone away. Ai, finishing his chant, dashed forward with incredible speed, holding Nyx by the throat.

Body of Tartarus.

As the battle got more intense, they needed more backup than they originally thought. Even with Typhon on their side, he's unable to help them with the battle down here because he's locked in a battle with Porphyrion. Typhon and Porphyrion had did nothing more than trade punches and kicks, without using any massive powers that could make something explode.

Alia was standing side by side with her husband, Michael. Alia fired another volley of arrows, making them explode in impact. Michael whirled around with his new scythe.

"Michael,"

"Yeah?"

"In case we don't make it, I love you." Alia said before kissing him on the lips. When they broke apart, a bright white light shone next to them. The next thing they knew, Aether, Hemera and Thalassa were there to help them.

"Aether?" Michael asked.

"Are we late?"

"As you can see, you're right on time." Michael said as he slashed his scythe sideways, decapitating a demon. Alia fired another arrow straight between the eyes of a Hyperborean giant, causing it to explode into millions of ice shards. Michael looked at Aether. Without the armour, Michael would've thought Aether was Gandalf the White. Aether slammed his staff to the ground, causing a blinding light to come out from his staff. It blinded everyone, including his allies.

When the light died down, their aerial threat was gone. The Keres instantly vaporized but that doesn't mean the battle on the ground was over. Aether merely pointed his staff at a monster, shot a beam of light and made it disintegrate.

"We have a battle to win." Aether said.

"Aha!" Porphyrion bellowed. Everyone turned to see what had happened. He had his hands around Typhon's throat. "I've beaten you! I'm stronger than you!"

"On the contrary," A female voice said from above the cavern.

"Oh," Aether managed. He held out his staff, covering everyone in a white protective shield. The cavern rumbled and the ground shook slightly. Porphyrion had a confused look on his face. Then, it happened.

The black, oily water from the Styx poured down from the ceiling, covering Porphyrion. He roared in pain, releasing his grip from the monster. Typhon took advantage and waved his hand, sending a strong wind from his palm, blowing Porphyrion back to the depths of Tartarus. The Styx flowed until they reached Nico and the others. Luckily, Aether had covered them with a shield. As for the monsters, not so much. They got dragged along the water, dragging them to who knows where.

"That was . . . surprising." Michael muttered. When the Styx finally stopped flowing down into Tartarus, Aether let go of his shield. Typhon was nowhere to be found, but hopefully, he's not causing havoc on the world above. There was also no trace of Lady Styx, as if both of them just suddenly decides to appear, help them and then vanish just like that.

"Well, our job is done."

"Wait, Nyx is still-"

"Undefeated, but we have faith in them." Aether said.

"Them? You mean Percy?" Nico asked.

Aether shook his head. "We have faith in Percy Jackson's children."

"Let's go help them." Michael said, but Aether stopped them. "What's wrong?"

"We can't interfere. There're, forces, even stronger than ourselves that prevents us from interfering. Either they will make it or not, is up to their hands."

Battle with Nyx

"What are you doing?!" Nyx choked out as Ai tightened his grip around her.

"Making sure you don't cause any more trouble." Ai said. "Rube, stand up. I need all three of your help. Tap your wrists now." Ai said. How he knew about their wrists, they had no idea. Rube struggled to stand up, as the three of them got close to Nyx. They tapped their wrists at the same time. Instantly, Nyx shouted in pain as a small spot on their wrists glowed brightly.

"You will, burn in Hell." Ai said. "In my own blood and the sacrifice in my hands, I open you, the Gates of Hell!" Ai shouted. Then, mindfuck for everyone.

A large hole opened in the ground with massive heat and gravitational pull coming from it. Everyone somehow found the strength to hold on to something.

"No!" Nyx said. Hideous arms started to grab her, pulling her to Chaos knows where. Ai was about to let go of his grip on Nyx, but things turned wrong. Nyx summoned her sword, the deadly sword mixed with three metals and swung at Ai. Luckily, Ai managed to dodge but she had let go of his grip on Nyx. Nyx managed to not fall into the hole, which was still pulling everything in.

Nyx laughed. "Looks like the tables have turned. Perhaps Artemis will be the first one I send down there." Nyx said. Nyx held her hand out and Artemis appeared in her hand, being choked by Nyx. Artemis looked beaten up as tears were streaming from her eyes. She'd been in pain all this time. Seeing her in pain, made Percy and the rest of his family angry. Before anyone could react, Rube rushed forward faster. In his attempt to bring Nyx down, he failed. Nyx threw Artemis aside and pushed Rube into the hole.

"No!" Al and Liz screamed. They tried to run and help, but Nyx held them in place.

"So, you want to be next? Fine."

Before Nyx could do anything, Artemis lunged forward, surprising Nyx. Even with all the torture Nyx put Artemis through, she still had the strength to move. Artemis had tears in her eyes as she held a dagger at Artemis' throat.

"You, will, die." Artemis said. Nyx countered with her own sword, deflecting Artemis' dagger. Artemis tried to stab her, but Nyx pushed her hand away and choked her.

"You first."

Then, another mind fuck.

Rube jumped out of the hole and got a grip on Nyx. A shackle was visible around Rube's ankle and the chain led towards the hole. Rube grinned crazily.

"If I'm going to Hell, you're going with me." Then, Rube looked at Artemis. "I love you, Mother. I'm sorry." Rube pulled Nyx along with him down the hole as Nyx screamed in terror. The hole closed down the instant they dropped down. Then, there was nothing. Silence and not one sound could be heard.

Percy stood up, sword in hand but he was extremely weak. His was basically dragging his sword across the floor. Then, he struck at the floor with his sword weakly at where the hole had been. The sword bounced off harmlessly. Tears were visible in Percy's eyes as he wanted his son back. He swung his sword again at the floor, hoping the hole would open again so he could rescue his son.

"Percy, he's gone." Ai said, putting a hand on Percy's shoulders. Percy shrugged him off and punched on the floor. Then, Percy placed his forehead on the floor.

"NO!" Percy shouted as loud as he could as he banged on the floor again and again uselessly, trying to open the hole. Without realizing it, he passed out.

Line Break

Percy was awake in a bed that he didn't recognize. He didn't know where it was, but it was sure beautiful. It was like Heaven, but from his children's definition of Heaven, this was now how it looked like.

Artemis was on the bed next to him. A wave of relief washed over him as he saw his wife sleeping and snoring soundly next to him. Percy stroked her cheek. Her skin was practically glowing and smooth. Her auburn hair was as lustrous as ever. Percy leaned forward and kissed Artemis on the forehead.

Involuntarily, she woke up. Her eyelids fluttered open and the first thing she saw was her husband's face. Artemis let a tear slid out as she smiled; enjoying the happiness she was feeling being reunited with him. Percy laughed lightly as pulled Artemis into an embrace as Artemis sank into his arms, hoping that it would last forever.

Line Break

Other people came and pouring into the room. Al and Liz practically jumped for joy towards their mother, who embraced them with tears of joy and happiness. The others just smiled and congratulated them. Most of them were bandaged in several places and would take time for them to recover.

Then, Chaos stepped in. A smile was seen across her face when she saw that Percy and his family were finally reunited. But, she had to deliver them bad news.

Percy smile melted when he didn't see Rube. Percy looked at Chaos with serious eyes. "Where is he?" Percy simply asked. Chaos knew this would come, the day she had to reveal it all.

"In Hell, with Nyx."

Percy stood up, realizing he was still weak, he immediately fell down. If it wasn't for Luke and Nico, he would've hit the floor. "What do you mean, in hell?"

"This will take some time explaining."

"I've got all the time you want." Percy replied.

"Fine." Chaos took a deep breath. "I know, for everyone and everything, Tartarus is your definition of Hell. It is not. Hell does exist, countering Heaven. Heaven being the home of angels, Hell is the home for demons. Everything good and that I managed to create comes from me, Chaos. That's how Nyx's mansion was above me. I created it and it comes out of my realm, but what about below it? There are things even deeper than my realm, things that no beings should see, not even a Primordial like Nyx."

At the thought of it, Percy trembled. If Nyx wasn't supposed to see them, then what about Rube?

"Hell is where the purest of evil come from. Everything evil, impure and demonic came from Hell. Hell is the place where I throw away things that don't deserve to exist, or even created. You think the Fields of Punishments are the worst? You think the true version of Tartarus is evil? Those things are nothing, compared to Hell. Everything that was damned to be there, should stay there and never let out of."

"So that means Rube should stay there too?" Percy said anger was building in his chest. Chaos shook her head.

"Rube was a mistake. He didn't deserve Hell at all. He sacrificed himself to save you." Chaos said. "Hell is a dangerous place. And I'm talking like, so dangerous that even I don't dare go in there. All the spirits, monsters and the things I cast down there are evil and will continue to do evil for as long as their essence remains. Even without consciousness, they can still do harm to you. No matter what you do, no matter how powerful you are and no matter what you're made of, you can't and won't survive hell."

The tension was increasing as everyone kept quiet. Percy, being the stubborn idiot he is, decided to voice out his opinion. "I'm still going, whether you like it or not."

"Percy, don't. I'm warning you. The things down there . . . You won't survive. There is not Mist there. You will see the true version of Hell, no matter what you do."

"Show me then." Percy said challengingly.

"Fine, if that's what you wish." Chaos said. She waved her hand over Percy's face and an image flashed before him.

He almost shit his pants.

His brain was overloaded with the things he saw. Things he'd never seen before, things that certainly didn't belong in this world or any other world, a blood stained realm with black flames and body parts that seemed recent. Monsters, monsters that he'd never seen before in his life, chewing on a living body and the body was still struggling to get free.

There were even humans, eating humans. A human was feasting on a dead, oily body while laughing crazily, like he enjoyed the taste. Then, something with very large and scaly body stomped over him. When Percy caught a look on his eyes, he paralyzed. Its look showed evil, pure evil. Percy thought that the most sick and evil being would even beg for mercy after seeing this. There's too much to comprehend, too much to register.

Then, the image disappeared. Percy was breathing heavily.

"Percy, are you okay?" Artemis asked. "You've looked at Chaos for like, one second and then staggered."

"One second?" Percy asked.

"Any longer, and your mind would've exploded from insanity or madness." Chaos said. "The people in there are crazy, sick people that didn't deserve the Fields of Punishments or Tartarus, but deserve something far worse."

Percy tried to gather himself together. Suddenly, Tartarus didn't seem that scary anymore.

"Percy, what did you see?" Annabeth asked. Percy looked into her eyes. When Annabeth met her eyes, she saw a feeling that she rarely see in his eyes. Fear. Percy Jackson was afraid and if anything that made Percy scared, would've scared Annabeth.

Percy took deep breaths. "I'm still going, Chaos. I will find a way to survive Hell, and I will find Rube. He's my son, and I will find him." Percy said sternly.

"Like I said, you can't. There's no possible way for you to survive Hell. Even if you had all my powers and you were the creator of Hell, you would have a hard time in there, trust me, I know." Chaos said, but she refused to meet Percy's eyes. She was hiding something. There was a way, but . . .

"You know that's not true, Chaos." An old voice said. A flash emitted in the room, and Chronos appeared with his hourglass staff. The others bowed except for Percy, because he'd met Chronos before. "There is a way."

"Chronos, don't. I will not risk anymore people in danger and I will not risk opening that hole again." Chaos stopped him, but Percy interfered.

"What way? Tell me?"

"At least, he deserves to know." Chronos said. "Remember what I told you a few years ago, Percy?"

"My children will play a major part in the future." Percy answered, remembering the conversation he had with Chronos at the Great Lawn three years ago.

"That is true."

"But they have."

"These two have." Chronos pointed at both Al and Liz. "But the rest of your children, they have yet to play their role. As I understand, Artemis is pregnant, isn't she?"

Artemis put one hand protectively around her stomach. "What does that have to do with this?"

"That child is the first breed of half human, half demon, and half god." Chaos explained.

Okay, so they maybe should've guessed that since Percy's the father and Artemis is the mother, but everyone was mindfucked for the third time.

"Which means . . ."

"Your child is the only being who could walk between every world. Godly world, mortal world and Hell itself without getting insane or mad. Your child will be able to save Rube by the time he or she had mastered his or her powers." Chaos explained again.

"But, I'm half demon, aren't I?" Percy asked.

"That's true, but your demon is tamed and imbued by me." Chaos said. "You have a demon inside you as for your child; he has demon blood running through his veins."

Percy and Artemis were still accepting the fact that their next child will be half demon. Al and Liz didn't know if they should by excited or anything. "You mean . . ."

"Yes, Percy. If you want to save Rube, you'd have to let your child walk through Hell, alone."

A/N: That's the end of that. Sorry if the chapter was a bit rushed, it's because I needed to complete this one so I could work on my Percabeth fanfic and some other fanfics I have in mind. Don't worry, I have an amazing or horrible idea. So, yeah, that concludes this fanfic. I don't know if it was amazing or horrible for you guys, but I know this wasn't my best and I know you guys prefer my first one. Anyway, I appreciate and thankful for all the support you guys gave me throughout this fanfic, I love you guys (no homo intended) and, well, there will be a sequel, just not immediately. I'll be making different fanfics, but I won't start on the final sequel just yet.

So, I'll answer some questions later on, but, leave a review if you like or hate it, like I said, a review always helps. Until then, take care. Oh, there'll be a bonus chapter so stay tuned.

P/S: How did I describe Hell? Was it intense or was it plain? Leave it in the reviews.
