Percy jackson the rising!

by barclayteo

The final battle of Olympus has taken place, many have died and now Percy must get stronger to face a new threat to Olympus that could be even worse than Kronos.

36. My enemies get judged

Percy's POV.

I felt my body go numb, and then my mind started to feel foggy as if I was trying to think of something but couldn't remember what it was called. I looked down at Oceanus's divine form and his power flowing into my body and when I felt that he had less than 40 percent of his strength left I dropped down to where he was and I pulled riptide out of his back.

I kicked Oceanus to onto his back and he looked at me with confusion in his eyes but then he snapped out of it. "But how could you do this I had my full strength in that attack and you just broke through my attack like it was nothing." I choose to ignore his question because I didn't feel like saying I don't know and I looked at riptide.

"I tried to give you a chance to side with the Olympians but you choose to ignore it out of arrogance. Like I promised I will absorb your powers for the good of Olympus, and for the world but your real punishment will come at the hands of the Olympians."

"You won't get anything out of us we have sworn on the river Styx that we would never tell of our plans, while we may have failed the Olympians still will fall the events have been set into motion." "I know all about it and I have so for months Oceanus and I can promise you nothing will stop me from stopping your groups plans."

I sent a silent prayer to Hephaestus for 4 celestial bronze chains that could prevent a titan from using its powers and 4 heavy sets of chains appeared in my arms. I only had minutes before the news choppers from coming so I slashed my hand through the air and the hurricane, and tornadoes that Oceanus summoned to try and destroy me started to calm down and then fell back into the ocean. I then wrapped Oceanus tightly using 1 of the celestial bronze chains, and when it was tight I looked at the ground next to him and saw his trident.

I picked up Oceanus's trident and placed it on my back, and my armor held it tightly ready for it to be used at a moments notice. I picked Oceanus up and water traveled the both of us to what was left of Prometheus's domain before the news helicopters came into view

When I arrived I found a group of merman guarding the unconscious bodies of Menoetius, Krios, and Tethys. Before I could even ask the merman how they got their their bodies melted away in a flood of water.

I then chained them Oceanus up to the rest of the titans. I left them there knowing they wouldn't be able to run away or flash away. I walked over to an area and with a flick of my wrist pitch black shadows formed around the titans, and titaness and I called out for Travis, and Connor stoll.

The strange aura merged with the stolen powers, I took from Oceanus, and Tethys and my powers. I could sense every body of water in the world. I was amazed at how much stronger I was considering I took only half of Oceanus's powers, and most Tethys's powers.

There were 2 flashes of light in front of me. Travis, and Connor were dressed in jogging suits and they both had their eyes glued to their ADP's until I physically saw them shiver from my power. "Travis, Connor I want you both to summon an emergency council meeting on my island."

Travis took a nervous gulp before he nodded. And he hesitantly looked over to the pitch black shadows and asked what was there. "You will find out soon but spread the word I want every Olympian god and Goddess there no matter how minor, I also want every demigod on my island and who ever knows about the gods to be present on my island in 20 minutes, and if Chiron can manage it the demigods from camp to come to my island."

"We can manage that but how will we get everyone from Camp Half-Blood in 20 minutes?" "Just tell Chiron to get everyone to stand in the beach, and pray to my father for assistance and he will help them get there. If the Olympians ask why they need to come tell them its about the giant sea-storm that just took place near here. They were about to flash away until I told them to wait. Tell Zeus to make sure that Nemesis is their because there will be a trail taking place."

Connor looked at me. "How long until you want the meeting to start?" In 20 minutes tell all the Olympians that they have permission to enter my island." After the flashed away I walked back to the shadows and grabbed the chains and shadow traveled away to my island.

I searched for Argus's presence and I found him resting on my couch with Prometheus still in chains at the far end of the couch. The titans, and Tethys were still engulfed in shadows and I felt the air around me trembling in power from me being here. I looked to Baylee who was in the kitchen with Alphie, and Alistor far away from Prometheus.

"Baylee, I want you to take Alphie to another tree nymph to watch him for a while because I have some people with me that you would not want your nephew near." Baylee took my order without question I saw in her mind she now knew the power of Pan inside me but she listened to me because she trusted my word.

Argus stood from the couch keeping over a dozen eyes trained on Prometheus and he walked over to me. "Percy who do you have with you?" I made the shadows disperse and told him. "I have the Oceanus the titan of the seas, Krios, the titan of stars, and constellations, Menoetius the titan of anger, and rashness, and finally Tethys the titaness of the seas."

"When you left with Prometheus I challenged Oceanus to a duel and won." I saw Prometheus's eyes widen in surprise. "Where is Beckendorf at Argus?" "He is with the crew of your army they are awaiting a meeting you called."

"If you would please Tell all the older satyrs on the island, and everyone at my mothers house, including my step father to come to the meeting." I then told him where the meeting was going to be and Argus vanished.

I shadow traveled to a part of the beach on my island that was far from the town and put the shadows back around my prisoners and began to do my work. I saw the island town farther away down the island and when I was finished I had an extended part of the island transformed into an open courtyard/court.

I designed it so at the front of the courtyard was an elevated section for the gods, and goddesses to sit. I had a created a throne for every god, and goddess. The 14 Olympian gods, and goddesses thrones were set slightly higher above than the rest of the minor Olympians.

I barely finished creating the new space when Flashes of lights entered the courtyard. The Olympian council were first to arrive and when they sat in their thrones they overlooked everything. Next were the minor gods, and goddesses and they found their seats however Nemesis walked up to me looking confused. "I was told you needed me Perseus?" "Yes in a few minutes you will be deciding over the punishments of enemies of Olympus that I captured."

The shadows prevented any sound from coming out but every immortal god, and goddesses eyes rested on the mysterious shadow that none of them could see through, except for me, and I got a glare from Hades so I knew even he couldn't see what was inside. I turned around and saw Chiron leading in demigods of all ages ranging from infants to senior citizens into the courtyard and they took their seats that were in front of the Olympians. I saw most of the Olympians waving to their children, and the older children did the same to their parents

Next were the soldiers of my army who took seats in side sections of the courtyard. Palaemon left his crew to take his seat next to Clarisse while Chris was sitting next to her in a smaller seat even though he wasn't a god I let him sit there in respect to Clarisse. The hunters of Artemis walked over next to me not afraid of my new found powers.

The each hugged me and took their places sitting at the feet of Artemis temporary throne. I saw Blackjack, star-bright, and Pegasus flying into the area and they all flew in next to my father, my stepmother, my brothers Triton, and Tyson who had seats next to my father and star-bright flew over to Thalia and stood by her, and the other hunters.

Next into the courtyards were the mortal families of the demigods, who knew about the Olympians. Their eyes bugged out at the size of the 15 foot tall gods, and goddesses. 1 thing I found out about my island was that there was no mist clouding the visions of the mortals who knew about the gods.

There were over 600 seats in front of the Olympians and each person found a seat. The next group into the courtyards were all of the Satyrs from my island, and at camp, along with tree nymphs who were not busy watching over the young satyrs, and then the nerieds came out of the water to watch what was going to happen.

Last to come in were my mother, Paul, Baylee, Argus who had Prometheus in chains, with him and they all sat in the front row. Chiron stood next to the demigods from Camp Half-Blood and he nodded to me.

I bowed to the Olympians and those next to them before I turned to face the crowd and I spoke in a magnified voice thanks to the courtyard because it made my voice echo.

"Everyone here knows about the Olympian gods and know that most of the Greek Legends are real. However what most of you don't know is that my name is Perseus Jackson. This island that you all live on know is an island given to me by the Olympian council."

"I have opened it to the demigod children, and demigod grown ups as a safe haven for you all I am happy to see all of you here but I have called you all here because I am here to tell you that I was just on a mission."

"For those of you know that is Prometheus the titan of forethought in chains. My mission was to capture him but he is not exactly why we are here. The reason why we are here is because during my mission I came across a group of immortals who were also there to get Prometheus and I fought them."

"I however could not have completed my mission without the help of Artemis, Apollo, my father Poseidon, Hephaestus, and Iris the goddess of the rainbows, and to many more people to count but know that I couldn't have done it without all of you, I would call out each of you out to the council the Olympians can only spare a certain amount of time away duties so I will just go back to why I called the council meet."

I motioned for Argus to bring forward Prometheus, and he stood and dragged Prometheus, along with him. Argus handed me the chains that held Prometheus, and then he sat back down.

"Now back to the point as I sure the Olympians know there was a massive oceanic storm near Hawaii and I am sure most of you though my father was just mad but I want to tell you he had nothing to do with it."

"When I got to Prometheus's lair a group of monsters, and titans attacked Prometheus and during that battle I stole the powers of Menoetius the titan of anger, and rashness, and Krios the titan of stars and constellations."

I reached my arm into the shadows and pulled out Krios's rams horn helmet. I bowed to the Olympians. "I present this spoil of war to the Olympians to show them my victory, and I sacrifice the helmet of Krios to lady Artemis in honor of her and Zoe Nightshade and my sisters in the hunt."

Ashley the hunter of Artemis bowed to lady Artemis and made her way to me and took the helmet. Ashley returned to lady Artemis and presented her the helmet who then passed it to the other Olympians who examined it before returning it to Artemis.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 10 minutes until 7 at night and I looked the sky and watched the as the sky darkened. The moon was just coming out of the skies so I saw that it was okay to do what I was about to do.

I held out my right arm and it glowed a deep gray color. Everyone looked into the sky as I made the stars appear an hour early. I made Zoe's constellation shine brighter than all the other stars in the skies for a minute. I knew this power was would tire me out but I wanted to emphasize the point.

I would have summoned the physical body of the huntress again, but I don't know if the hunters could stand to see the body of Zoe, and know that her spirit wasn't inside so started to summon the physical form of the constellation Aries.

The ground in front of me began to shimmer and after a few seconds a ram appeared and I saw Zeus's eyes widen in surprise when he saw what I summoned. Most of the Olympians looked up into the sky. When the Olympian's got the message I let the ram vanish as it returned to back to normal. I felt the constellation Aries glow brighter when the ram vanished.

While the Olympians were looking at the sky I reached into the shadows and untied Krios from the rest and by the time the Olympians looked back to me Krios was chained to the ground in front of the Olympians.

I saw the hunters of Artemis crying softly as they were reminded of their past sister. "Do any of the Olympians deny that chained to the ground before you is Krios the titan of the stars and constellations?" Not a single hand went up in the air.

Apollo if you would please come down and tell me if Krios has any of his powers remaining? Apollo returned to normal size and appeared next to Krios who was wise not to say anything and after 2 minutes Apollo's eyes widened and he addressed the crowd in a voice that everyone could hear.

"As Percy asked I have examined Krios and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that every ounce of Krios's titan powers have been removed and is now in Percy, Also I must say that while Krios is still immortal from in my opinion Krios may never regain his powers, or his divine form."

The crowd of demigods immediately began to talk about what happened until Zeus silenced them with a glare. I reached into the shadows and untied Menoetius and placed him next to Krios and motioned for Apollo to examine him to which Apollo addressed the crowd again that all of his powers were gone.

"I will say that Medusa, and her sisters were there so the titans somehow managed to reform Medusa's faded sisters. Medusa, and her sisters are in Tartarus as we speak but I wanted to inform the council, and to warn demigods to be ready for anything."

"Finally the last 2 titans that were there was Tethys the titaness of the seas. I addressed the Olympians mainly when I spoke next. The next 2 immortal beings still have a remainder of their powers but with them chained up they will not be able to go into their divine forms I wanted to let you know."

I Pulled Tethys who was thrashing around onto her knees and tied her next to her comrades. "I have taken all but a fraction of her powers but she still has enough of her powers so that she can breath underwater when the council decides her fate I will let you decide whether she can keep that ability or if she should lose it."

"Lastly before I was finished with these 3 I challenged 1 of Olympus's greatest enemies to a duel and won. I have already sworn on the river Styx that I would fully drain his powers but before I announce who it is I wanted to inform the Olympian council that the reason I have called you all here today is to present me and my comrades victory and let Nemesis decide whether they are guilty or innocent but I must tell you all that these 4 titans would overthrow the Olympians as much as they like to live so be warned."

"If Nemesis finds them guilty the Olympian council will decide their punishments." I looked to my father, and spoke aloud. I would ask that my father, my stepmother Amphritie, my brother Triton, my brother Tyson, my new cousin Phillip, and the lieutenants of my fathers kingdom Delphin, and Palaemon to come before me."

When they all stood before me in confusion I spoke in an even louder voice. "I have captured and defeated Oceanus the titan of the seas. For those of you who do not know Oceanus was working with Kronos last year, and he tried to overthrow my fathers kingdom."

I cast away the shadows and listened as the Olympian council gasped when they saw that a battered looking Oceanus was on his knees before the Olympian council. "Let it be known to all of Olympus that before I challenged Oceanus to a duel I gave him the opportunity to pledge allegiance to the Olympians to forever side with them that if he did I would release his wife Tethys however they both turned down my offer."

"However the terms of the duel were as such it was a battle to the end either I would have died or I would have won and if I did I would claim his powers and his wife's powers. Also the terms were that I was to fight 1 on 2 with no help from anyone that is why my father was unable to calm the ocean waters."

Father I have defeated Oceanus in your name. Do you deny that this is Oceanus? There was not a moments hesitation in my fathers reply. "Son I would know the being who tried to rip my domain from me and took the lives of many innocent beings that serve me. This is Oceanus the titan of the seas."

I bowed down on 1 knee, and reached behind my back and pulled out the trident that used to belong to Oceanus. And I held out in front of me. "Father I present you with your greatest enemies weapon, in honor of you."

My father took the trident from my hands and held it up to the sky. Delphin, Palaemon, Amphritie, and Triton, along with the merman that was hear cheered in celebration, and then I stood up. My father put an arm around my shoulders.

"Thank you son for what you did today, you avenged all the innocent beings, and my fallen soldiers in my domain who he killed while trying to overthrow me." I heard Zeus cough trying to get my fathers attention and when my father turned his head to look at his brother Zeus spoke.

"I commend your son's accomplishment today, but we can celebrate later brother." My father nodded his head and they all took went back, and sat down in their seats.

"I would like to let the Olympians know that Argus the head of Security at Camp Half-Blood has gave me 4 of his eyes that way if I absorbed the powers of any beings that I did not like I could have the power to not use them."

I have already used 1 of the eyes for Menoetius's powers of anger and rashness and I am prepared to use a second eye to hold the remainder of Oceanus's powers if the Olympian council does not trust me to use his powers wisely I would ask the council to call a vote on whether they want me to use the eye to hold his powers. The vote which I ask also be allowed to include the minor Olympians.

Zeus nodded his head and the Olympians took their seats. There were over 60 minor Olympian gods major and minor in attendance. Zeus stood up along with my father, and Hades and Zeus addressed the Olympians.

"Before I call the vote to order I would like to remind everyone to consider what Perseus has done for you all. He gave your children a safe home, gave all of you the respect you deserve and saved more than 1 Olympian."

"All in favor of making Percy Jackson use an eye to hold the power of Oceanus raise your hand. 4 hands rose in the air I couldn't tell who they were at this moment but I was not going to complain because I was the 1 who asked them to vote.

"All in favor of trusting Percy Jackson with the powers of Oceanus raise your hand." All of the other Olympians who did not raise their hands earlier raised their hands in approval to trust me with Oceanus powers. My father smiled proudly at me, and looked to Zeus who nodded his head in approval.

"My son the Olympian council has approved of you taking Oceanus's powers without any restrictions." "Then I ask the Olympian council to create a barrier around the audience to prevent any demigods under the age of 13 from witnessing what I am about to do."

Zeus, Hades, and my father snapped their fingers and a blue barrier appeared in front of the crowd behind me. The barrier was blue at first then it turned invisible. I turned to the crowd and spoke to them. "Any of you who have a weak stomach close your eyes because there will be blood."

I unsheathed riptide and stood behind Tethys and I nodded to Zeus. "Lord Zeus does the council wish me to drain the rest of her powers? "Zeus looked to all the gods and goddesses and they seemed to have a silent discussion. Zeus nodded his head in approval.

Zeus then spoke to Tethys. "Tethys titaness of the seas wife to Oceanus do you have any last words before Perseus drains your remaining powers? Tethys answered him by spitting on the ground.

I stabbed her in the back and felt the last bit of her powers over the sea flow into my body and then I pulled riptide out of her back. I nodded to Apollo who checked her. "That is all Percy she has no more of her powers." Apollo summoned a towel and then handed it to me so I could wipe the blood off.

Once riptide was cleaned I moved to stand behind Oceanus who was taking what was about to happen like a man. I nodded to Zeus who then began to speak to Oceanus. "Oceanus titan of the seas do you have any last words?"

"Just that I love my wife and hope you all feel what is about to happen to me someday." I plunged riptide through his back and felt a massive stream of his power flow into my body. It took a full 10 minutes until I felt the last of his powers being drained.

The entire island shook from my new powers and I could feel ever ounce of water in the world ready to do as I commanded. I could feel my power over water become 2 times stronger than my father but he just smiled at me with total happiness in his eyes.

"Congratulations son it is has always been my dream to see you do great things and I look forward to the day we control the oceans as a family." I nodded to the gods and they removed the barrier after all the mortal blood was cleaned up.

Nemesis bowed to the council and stood up before everyone. "It is in my power that I pronounce all 4 of you guilty against crimes against the world, and treason against the gods." Zeus pulled the 14 Olympian gods into a discussion and after 10 minutes the huddle broke apart and Zeus spoke in a thunderous voice to the 4 prisoners.

It had been decided that as for Krios, and Menoetius, and Tethys that you 3 are hereby forever sentenced to the to the Underworld where for all eternity you shall be punished for your crimes against Olympus, my brother Hades has even told the council that for all eternity you shall be chained in his dungeons and personally tortured personally by him."

I don't know what came over me but I raised my hand to stop Zeus who out of respect let me talk. "I am sorry lord Zeus for interrupting you but I ask whatever punishment you give Oceanus that you make the same punishment for Tethys and that you let them stay together in whatever punishment you give them?"

I saw Aphrodite smile and nod at me in approval. Zeus looked down at me. "Percy why would you give mercy to the both of them by letting them stay together, you said it yourself they would try to destroy us the first chance they could?"

"Trust me lord Zeus I didn't think I would ask for this until now. But Oceanus risked his safety knowing full well what I could do to him, to try and save his wife. So if he is willing to lose of his powers to save her, then I think the least I could do is let them face whatever punishment, besides while I wouldn't expect the same kindness if the roles were reversed that is what makes us better then them."

A couple of Olympians nodded their heads in approval at my statement, and then Zeus spoke. "Since they both are powerless I do not see anything wrong with granting your request seeing as you defeated several of Olympus's greatest enemies. Oceanus for the rest of eternity you, and Tethys shall forever be thrown into a secret Olympian Prison. You both will be far away from any source of water and you shall never be able to harm another innocent person again, if any either of you ever try to escape you will both be separated for the rest of eternity, and will be tortured by Hades."

Hades stood up and stomped his foot onto the ground and a deep fissure appeared. Skeletal hands appeared out of the shadows and dragged a screaming Krios, and Menoetius into the underworld. The ground closed back up perfectly.

Oceanus turned his head towards me and he looked confused and he spoke to me with no sign of anger even though I just stole his powers. "Why did you do that you said how you were gonna make sure we were as far apart as possible?"

Because as evil and cruel as you are I saw it in your face that you truly love your wife and you knowingly put yourself at risk to save your wife. I know I wouldn't have gotten the same mercy from you if I would have lost but that's the difference between us you know no compassion but I do.

I nodded to the Olympians and watched as Hephaestus, Ares, Lee Kruger, and Athena rose from their secondary thrones and descended the stairs and grabbed Oceanus, and his wife by their arms and they flashed away.

Zeus's eyes narrowed onto Prometheus until I held up my hand. Prometheus is not here to be on trial yet I captured him for another reason. Zeus nodded his head and he looked to the crowd. "In honor of Percy' and his companions triumph today we shall celebrate with a party until proper rewards are chosen for those involved."

Within minutes there was a massive Olympian party held for everyone including the mortals however they mist that they were under worked magic because they payed no attention to the satyrs, or any of the other magical creatures.

The muses went all out for the party they even allowed Apollo to sing a few songs with them as long as he did not do any haiku's although the partnership ended when Apollo unsuccessfully tried to hit on them and he left the stage with multiple slaps across his face.

Apollo on the other hand smiled like a madman. And started talking about how they knew he was in love with him they just didn't know it yet. Ares was holding an arm wrestling competition and I saw that he was in a heated battle with Herc.

The mortal men, and male teenagers who knew nothing about Greek mythology quickly found out that it was in their best interest to stay far away from Artemis, and her hunters must have been really happy because they let the men off with only a few broken limbs and a few missing teeth.

Another couple of older men tried to hit on Aphrodite but before I could get jealous she politely declined and gave me a stunning smile. I saw Argus talking to Hera and they seemed to be having a great conversation however Argus had every spare eye on his legs, and backs of his arms trained on Prometheus but he wasn't going anywhere and Hephaestus made sure of that.

As soon as Hephaestus came back 40 minutes earlier from delivering the prisoners somewhere he threw Prometheus into a celestial bronze jail cell and had the bars electrified. I found Hestia talking happily with Silena by the buffet table.

Beckendorf's stance made it clear that Silena was off limits however that wasn't needed because she only had eyes for him. Any demigod or regular mortal who didn't know about Beckendorf tried to hit on Silena however all the received was a 1 word reply before she went back to her conversation.

If they still didn't get the message that was when Beckendorf's intimidation came in luckily there were plenty of single female demigods and female teenagers around to keep most of the guys happy. Fang and Mrs. O Leary were relaxing near the table where my mother, and Paul were sitting at enjoying their dinner.

I saw the giant gryphon relaxing in the woods and I was glad to see it settled in nicely. I walked up to the buffet table and picked up an egg roll and took a large bite. I saw my father trying to sneak up on me however I used a cool new power I found at I had and created a water clone where I was at.

The water clone had a physical body my father was none the wiser. My father tried to put my water clone in a full nelson lock however when he touched the clone it blew up in his face like a giant water balloon.

Everyone laughed as my father became soaking wet however I had to make myself scarce because my little joke got Silena's dress wet and if there was 1 thing I knew and that was not to mess with her clothes, even my father disappeared in fear.

Not only was Silena dangerous when she was mad but she had a personal bodyguard in her best-friend Clarisse and it wouldn't be that hard to connect the dots about what happened. And Clarisse if she found out certainly couldn't go after my father so she would settle with me.

I shadow traveled away in a hurry when I heard Clarisse yell my name. I arrived on the roof of my house which transformed into a perfect stargazing spot but when I turned around I found that I was not alone. I nearly shadow traveled away until I saw that it was Aphrodite.

Aphrodite held up a bottle of sparkling cider. "Your not going to club me upside the head for accidentally getting Silena's dress wet are you?" "No my daughter can fight her own battles but from what I heard you have a bloodhound coming after you in my daughters honor."

You would think that now that I have the total power over every form of water you would think Clarisse would be a little hesitant to try to attack me. "Well Percy here is how I see things either we can talk about why she wants to gut you, or I can pop this bottle of cider and we can have another romantic date watching the stars.

I was about to say I had to go talk to Argus but she beat me to it. "Argus will be on guard duty of Prometheus tonight, Baylee has your home off limits to any satyrs, and I have personally threatened every Olympian a decade of bad hair days, mismatched clothes, and clown makeup if they interrupt us."

"I would be a fool to turn down your offer. So lets drink the sparkling cider and enjoy the view." Aphrodite popped the cork and in a few minutes we were laying together in a hammock enjoying the stars.

I had my arm around her shoulders and we took turns naming the constellations which now I knew all of their names, and If I was a bad guy I could rearrange them but since I was nice I made each constellation grow brighter making them shine brighter in the night sky.

"You know Percy having the power over stars does have its benefits." I was about to make a witty reply about how I should get the powers of silk suits but Aphrodite cut me off with a kiss that almost made me forget how to breath again.

We spent the rest of the night on the roof watching the stars and at midnight I summoned a meteor shower for everyone who was still awake. I woke up just after sunrise and smiled when I saw Aphrodite had her head in the crook of my neck sleeping peacefully.

I stayed laying down with my arms around her and occasionally played with her long hair that continually changed colors. After an hour I felt her began to stir and her beautiful light green eyes looked up at me.

When her eyes changed to a chocolate brown she leaned up and kissed me passionately it was a short kiss but a good one. Aphrodite sat up and rubbed her stomach. "So who do I have to kiss around here for some breakfast?"

I raised my hand and she jumped on top of me pulling me into another make out session. After minutes of making out Aphrodite pulled her head up and looked at me. Keep on waking a guy up like that and he may never get out of bed.

"Well Percy there are some benefits to staying in bed all day." "Well maybe 1 of these days you can show me the benefits." "Well if you got a few hours I can show you a few of the upsides." "Well I think I might have to feed a certain goddess first."

The hammock transformed into a large king sized bed and with a snap of my fingers a large silver tray appeared on the bed that held, grape nuts cereal for me, and blueberry waffles for Aphrodite. I decided to earn some brownie points with Aphrodite by feeding her pieces of waffles.

I took a drink of my orange juice while we were listening to some birds sing? "So Aphrodite where is this secret prison that Oceanus, and Tethys are at now?" Aphrodite stopped drinking her mimosa and she turned her eyes towards me.

"Well after the battle of Olympus Hephaestus built a maximum security prison in Mount Saint Helen's there are a few minor godlings being punished there who have angered the council some of them will be released in a few years. However the prison is enchanted so that if anyone finds it's location it will vanish and go somewhere else Zeus deems safe"

"However there are also demigods, regular immortals, and other beings like Oceanus who will be there." What will happen with the demigods?" "Well I can tell you this Percy each demigod there are truly evil during the second titan war they ruthlessly killed innocents and even damaged some of our temples in the mortal world."

"They will stay there until they die, and when they do die they will most likely be judged to the fields of punishment. None of the inmates know where they are, and the prison is incapable of receiving or sending iris messages, or other forms of communication to prevent inmates from trying to organize an escape."

"However we are not completely cruel the inmates get fed and are given water. The insides of their cells are heat resistant unless they try to escape." I though Zeus said that Oceanus would not be near any water?

"What he really meant was he will not be any near bodies of water like lakes, pools, or baths. They both will get a few pints of water a day to drink however from how much power you took from them they will be unable to control it, in fact you made it so that they can't breath underwater, or communicate with sea life, that is the only reason why they are even getting water."

"If you are wondering why we did not sentence them to the underworld that is because if Oceanus was there it could create an uprising from the prisoners in the fields of punishment, plus as you let us find out someone managed to break out a person from there we couldn't take the risk of letting Oceanus escaping again so that is why he is there."

"Thank you for telling me Aphrodite." "Well you had every right to know considering your strong enough to be 1 of the big 3. In fact if you are up to it the Olympians might ask you to take the powers of other enemies of Olympus if you find anymore titans."

"Well if it's whats best for the world then I will however if they are peaceful I will leave them be." Aphrodite laughed and threw a grape nut at me. "No duh Percy I wasn't suggesting that you do that to anyone who hurts you."

"Good because because then I would have to have the powers of a love goddess for assaulting me with a grape nut. Aphrodite threw another grape nut at me and laughed. "Yeah lets see you become the dove whisperer and see what that does to your street cred."

"I think I could pull it off I don't think many people would make fun of a guy who can control all of the worlds water with a single flick of his fingers, well Clarisse wouldn't care but everyone else might be a little hesitant to do it."

Aphrodite reached over and touched the eye on my right arm which was fully closed. "Do you wish that you didn't absorb the powers from Menoetius?" "I would have been more hesitant to take his powers if I didn't have these eyes, however Menoetius was a monster even by titan standards and while I will keep it under control most of the time to stop me from snapping at someone during a bad day his powers helped me beat Oceanus."

"So Percy now that I have been fed do you wanna see what else besides breakfast in bed can be a benefit from staying in bed all day? I wrapped my arms around Aphrodite's waist and water traveled us to my master bedroom.

When we arrived Aphrodite softly dropped on my waterbed with me on top of her. "Percy why don't you go make sure we don't get interrupted while I get more comfortable and then I can show what you can look forward to on your 18th birthday."

I water traveled off the bed and rushed down the stairs to my living room. I found Argus, Baylee, Alphie, and Alistor sitting on a massive couch. Prometheus was still in chains but he was sitting in a celestial bronze recliner at the far end of the room.

Baylee smiled at me, "Good morning Percy would you like me to get you anything to drink?" "No but I got something really important going on in my room so please make sure there are no interruptions." Baylee nodded her head and as I was about to rush upstairs I heard Argus speak.

"Tell Lady Aphrodite we said good morning." I didn't want to turn around because at how warm my face was at his comment I would probably only make him laugh. I jogged back up stairs and closed the door behind me.

When I turned back around my jaw dropped. Aphrodite was laying on my bed in a 2 piece red bikini and my room changed to look like we were on a large beach. My bare feet was resting on sand however I saw exactly why Aphrodite was the goddess of love.

Her hair changed into a long vibrant red that reached her back, and her eyes were piercing sea green. The first thing that came to my mind after I was able to think was telling her that Argus said hi. Aphrodite responded by holding out her hand and waved me forward her index finger.

I walked forward and climbed onto the waterbed which led to the best 3 hours of my life. We kept it NC-17 but I truly found out that Aphrodite was the goddess of desire, and sexuality. By the time we were done I would have given up both of my arms for another 10 minutes with her.

My shirt was on the floor because Aphrodite told me she wanted to admire the view and while we were relaxing she traced my scars with her manicured fingers. "I still can't believe you would be interested in a guy who looks like he bathed in razor blades when he was young."

"Well before you managed to make me see the light about how I really was I probably wouldn't but you made me see that I was more than just perfect makeup and about who was the hottest. That made look beyond outward appearance, however it was your caring, and protective attitude that attracted me to you."

"Now as much as I would love to stay in bed and fool around some more I must do my duties you know like setting up first loves, inspire the perfect dates, and punish those who throw away true love." Well you can stay in my house anytime you want when your not working."

"Ah did you just ask me to move in with you?" "Well I meant it as you can stay here to spend time with my mother because I am going to have to leave again soon but yes I guess I did ask you if you want to make my home a second home for you, and even Silena if you want."

I can make you both a bedroom here if you want. Aphrodite rested her hand on her head and she looked at me. "Does that invitation include Trina?" "I would love to have Trina living in my home I couldn't just ask for you 2 to be apart."

"You know Percy Jackson every time I think I know you, you continue to surprise me with your kindness." "You can even use my island as a home for all your doves? "You know if you keep being so kind I might just have to call in sick for my duties today."

"Did I tell you that you look drop dead gorgeous right now? "You are a sweet talker but I must get to work on my duties but when I am done I will move in with Trina, all though it might be good for you to clear out a drawer for me in your room."

I pointed to a corner of the room and she looked as a mahogany dresser that was inlaid with pictures of doves appeared next to my dresser. "Anything else I should make in my room for you?" "No this will work for now but when you, make the new bedrooms you only need to make 1 room I can happily share with Trina, and Silena."

"You sure you don't want me to make another room for Silena?" "Yes I am sure Percy besides it's not like she will be here everyday now that she has a home in your town."

"Okay then I will ask Silena to design your room and a room for her when she is not working in the demigod town. Which by the way I hope Hestia can come up with a good name for the town soon because it is going to be weird for a town to have no name."

Aphrodite gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and stood up from the bed. before she summoned a simple sleeveless white dress on herself. "Percy are you going to be able to stay another day before you have to leave?"

If you want me too I can stay another night I can pull it off but I would have to leave first thing tomorrow morning. "I take it the reason that you have to leave is because of Prometheus?" "Yeah me and him have some important business to attend to if he is still around when I am finished I might let the Olympian council decide what to do with him."

"Well I must go I hope you don't mind me just leaving all the sudden." "I understand you have things you must do but if you want to make it up to me you can give me another lesson on the benefits of staying in bed all day."

"Oh don't you worry Percy I will test you on what I taught you today later on. I am a tough teacher so be prepared for a lot of learning." "That will be the first test ever that I plan to pass with flying colors." "Well if I had to grade you on the past few hours you should have no problem passing but I'm sure you won't mind reviewing."

"I would study your teachings any day Aphrodite." Aphrodite gave me a cute smile and she winked, and blew a kiss to me before she flashed away in a puff of perfume. I put my hands behind my head and smiled.

I looked up in time to see the Ceiling turn invisible as a huge flock of doves flew into the trees and found their new homes. Luckily the knew not to use the bathroom over my home because the last thing I need was a pooped stained home.

After a few minutes of relaxing I stood from my bed and walked into the bathroom and saw that my body was covered in lipstick from Aphrodite's and my make out session. I didn't want to wash any of it off but I needed to take a shower so I stepped into the steam shower.

After taking a long hot shower I stepped out and willed myself dry. I dressed in khaki shorts, and a t-shirt that had a picture of the Simpsons on it. I walked out of my bathroom and before I stepped out of the shower I put on my magical shoes that transformed into its natural form of a pair of sandals.

I jogged my way down the steps to my living room and saw Prometheus glare at me. I walked over to him and removed his gag. "Before you say anything know this if you yell at me, threaten me, or try to escape at any time over the next few days I will steal all your powers, and let my pet hellhound use you as a chew toy."

Prometheus replied in a calm voice. "Why did you capture me Percy I have never harmed you or your friends?" "I captured you because you were needed to come along with me on a mission and don't act innocent you tried to kill me yesterday."

"Tell me then why did you need to take me from my home?" "Frankly I thought you would be a little happy I defeated the enemies who came to attack you. But the reason I needed you is because there is someone who wanted to speak to you? If I feel your not a danger to anyone I might have let you go after I was done however after I heard you almost joining the others against the Olympians I highly doubt that will happen."

"What do you mean after I almost joined them that is a lie?" "Well let me tell you what I saw. I saw Echidna trying to get you to join her and the others however you didn't want to because I was still alive and then when she got mad she threatened you which you then proceeded to cut off her arm and forever cripple her, and then threw her into the volcano."

"So don't think you can lie your way out of it." "Fine then tell me who it is who wants to speak with me?" I turned around to see only Argus there and I knew I could tell him. "Rhea wants to speak with you." "That's a lie Rhea hasn't shown herself to the world in thousands of years."

"Actually she has been talking to me in my dreams first I got her pet nemean lion back to her, then I tamed the mythical Pegasus, and finally I had to capture you, and bring you to her if I wanted to meet her."

"I will not tell you why I want to meet her but I can tell you this she will be happy to help me out when I bring you to her." For the briefest second I think I saw it in his eye's that he knew why I was going to be bringing him to Rhea but that could have easily been something else.

"What will it take me to do for you not to bring me to her?" "Nothing will stop me however if she lets me take you back with me I may be able to work out a deal for you not to be thrown into Tartarus, and I might even leave you with your powers."

"If you do not agree to my demands I can promise you that I will drain you dry of all your powers and allow the Olympians to do whatever they want to you." Prometheus looked like he wanted to rip out my tongue but he nodded his head.

"Argus will you please come here I want you here to witness my demands and his answer, you will be able to tell the Olympians what he says if I tell you to do so." Argus stood up from the couch and stood next to me.

I looked back to Prometheus before I spoke to him. "Prometheus if you wish to keep your powers you must agree to my demands so here we go. First you must pledge your total allegiance to the Olympian gods, and by extension never betray them, harm their children, or lie to them if you ever make any deals with them. That also means if there are every any future wars you will 100 percent side with the Olympians and protect them to the best of your abilities, and if they ever shall fall you will protect their children with your life?"

"Argus did I leave any loopholes in that request?" "Yes you should also make Prometheus swear to also promise to never give away the secrets of the Olympian gods." "Prometheus you must swear to agree to everything me and Argus just said."

"Fine I swear it on the river Styx that I serve the Olympian gods faithfully for the rest of my eternal life and I also agree to everything else you just said now is that it?" "No there is more that you must agree to first."

"Fine but before I agree to anything else you must swear to me on the river Styx that you will take me with you when you are done bringing me to Rhea I would rather get my liver eaten by an eagle than face her wrath."

"I can't promise to protect you from her wrath while I am there but I swear on the river Styx that when I am done with visiting Rhea I will do all I can to bring you back with me, she told me she only wanted answers from you, not to torture you for the rest of eternity."

Thunder rumbled in the sky again before I began to tell him my next demand. Prometheus if you also want to keep your powers I demand you give me the blueprints for the metal warriors along with the promise to that you will never create them again for your own needs, or give the blueprints to anyone else unless I give you permission to do so."

"Come on those are my own personal bodyguards they are near indestructible do you realize how many generations it will take for the Olympians to learn how to create anything half as powerful as them?" "Oh I seen their power that's why I want them for my islands protection, and the protection of Camp Half-Blood." Prometheus was about to speak until Argus interrupted him.

"Before he agrees make sure he gives you the full blueprints and he must promise you that there will be nothing wrong with them, and that they are a 100 percent complete." You heard him Prometheus you must also swear to what he said.

"Fine I swear it on the river Styx to give you the blueprints of my metal soldiers and I swear that they are as I created them 200 hundred years ago, and if they are created correctly they will never malfunction or disobey your orders, I also swear on the river Styx that I will never give the blueprints to anyone else or use them for myself without your permission."

"How much more are you going to make me swear to Percy?" "Not many more things however you are also making me promise not to leave you with Rhea so obviously you must have done something to make her mad so something tells me you would do almost anything to make sure that you don't stay there."

Prometheus nodded his head in defeat. "Tell me do you have any ideas who is behind all these people trying to overthrow the Olympians?" "No whoever it is the being is powerful enough to hide their identity from even the titans, plus I have never met the being. But I can tell you that even with the titans you defeated you haven't done enough to stop them."

"What I can tell you is that the titans are in Alaska and that they will stay there if they think the gods are going to be coming after them." "How is that possible wouldn't they be just as powerless there as the Olympians?"

"No the Titans are more different from the Olympians than you think, we are just as much powerful in Alaska as we are in the US. However there is a place in the world we are powerless." "And where is that Prometheus?" "Mexico that is where we are powerless, and before we moved to the US we were powerless in Spain, just like the Olympians were powerless in Germany."

"Are they planning in anyway to resurrect Kronos?" "Not to my knowledge and in my opinion I don't think he will ever be able to return. The first time he was defeated he lost most of his powers and it took him over 3 thousand years to reform and even then he was not able to reform in a normal way."

"You see if Kronos would have waited 500 years or more he would have been able to reform in his real form. Think of the way Kronos reformed recently like this. Imagine someone wanting a glass of alcohol to drink."

"If Kronos waited 500 years to reform he would have been like that glass of alcohol in its full strength. However the way Kronos reformed recently was like someone taking that glass of alcohol and watering it down so much you could barely taste it."

"However since Kronos was so powerful it didn't visibly affect him very much. However I can tell you before he entered the son of Hermes body he was only at 50 percent full power, when he did enter the demigods body his power was watered down even further."

"But when we fought him he was almost about to burn through Luke's body and enter his divine form." "Yes that is true Percy however when he took the cheap way of reforming he permanently limited his powers he would have only been at half strength. Now know this even at half strength he would have been almost an even fight against the Olympian council."

"But Kronos still didn't want to take the chance of getting defeated so that was why he made a plan to distract the Olympians so he could take out their thrones."So by the time that way by the time the gods would have known his true plan their powers would have been cut off from them."

"Exactly Percy you see Kronos's mind was so full of wanting revenge he screwed himself at a better chance of winning. Look at it like this Percy if Kronos would have waited, and managed to free Typhon the Olympians would have had no chance of winning even with you and the other demigods that defended Olympus."

Argus nodded his head. "He is right Percy I was there during the first titan war the Olympians barely won the last time and during that war the Olympians didn't have you and the other demigods to help, plus the titans didn't have Typhon rampaging through the world."

"So the reason why I don't think Kronos will ever be able to come back is because due to his stupid mistake he was defeated in such a way that when he was destroyed he probably would not have enough strength to hold his essence together."

"So you think he faded Prometheus?" "It is a possibility look at Ouranos, Kronos chopped him to bits and he has never been seen since, Ouranos may have faded but we will never know?" "Well there is a chance they could have found a way to bring him back like you saw they found a way to bring back Medusa's sisters."

"Yes Percy I saw but there is a major difference between a monster and a titan, not to mention this is not the first time a faded monster has come back to life for a time." "Yes I heard how Stheno, and Euryale appeared when a demigod googled them I can't say it wouldn't be possible to bring him back to life depending on who the mysterious being is but I highly doubt it would happen."

I looked at my watch and then back to Prometheus. "The last thing I want you to swear on is if you want me to make sure I don't leave you behind with Rhea you must promise me that you will not try to escape at any time from now until we get to her domain and until after you get judged by the Olympians. Also you will not try to lie to me on the way there or try to impede my mission in any way."

"If I promise to your last demand will you remove my chains?" "No Because those chains prevent you from using your powers and I don't want you to try anything. However if the Olympians allow you stay free and work for them I will let you out and let the Olympians decide where you will stay."

"Well I wont be able to summon you the blueprints unless I have access to some of my powers to magically summon them." Argus tapped me on the shoulder. "Percy if you remove his arms from the chains I could let him use a little of his powers."

"Fine Prometheus if you agree to my last demand I will temporarily release your hands to summon my the blueprints however if you try anything riptide will be in your chest and I help Rhea torture you."

"Percy I have already made a permanent oath to serve the Olympians and not harm their children you are a child of Poseidon if I tried to attack you I would be in unbelievable pain, lose a lot of my powers and could fade." "Yes you did however if you had access to your powers you could try to escape."

"Fine I swear it on the river Styx that I will not try to escape at any time or impede your mission in any way and I also swear to come back with you after you see Rhea to be judged by the Olympians." Thunder rumbled in the distance.

With quick movements of my hands I had Prometheus's hands free from the celestial bronze chains however his legs were fully chained up, and the chains were wrapped around his chest, and biceps, leaving only his arms free.

I uncapped riptide and had it aimed where his heart was and I nodded to Argus. Prometheus began to glow slightly. An ancient looking scroll appeared in the air above his hands. Argus reached forward and carefully took a hold of the scroll.

"I promise you Percy everything is their in that scroll is correct, there is nothing missing, no booby traps, or anything in their to allow me to take control of them. They will do as you say, protect who you tell them to, or even kill who you tell them to. If you send them after a god, titan or anything else they will spend the rest of eternity chasing after them and hunting them down until they are given new orders or the master control is destroyed."

"The only way they can be destroyed is if the master control is destroyed. Also be careful where you place the master control because if anyone who has a grudge against you finds it they can change the primary goal of the metal solders."

So then what do you suggest Prometheus? "Keep it in the most secure are you can find and keep it a secret from everyone. Lastly if you are going to die either destroy the remote, or give it to someone you trust completely if you want to keep the metal solders."
