Hell and Back
Hey guys, this is a Tartarus story. The pairing is Pertemis if not none. Can you vote on which one? Hope you like the chappie. And give me ideas please. This part is taking place during the fight against Gaea. PROFANITY IS IN THE STORY. All rights to Uncle Rick Riordan.
(Percy)
I was fighting the giants when I got a nosebleed. Which fell on the floor and an ear splitting shriek filled the air. Gaea spoke
"Thank you. For now I can awake!" I noticed that there was no giants left, and I saw Gaea's manifestation, and charged towards her. I don't care if I die. I just wish my friends don't. I was defeating Gaea when she said
"Yes my little spy, 'kill me' and feed me information later on." I ignored these words and continued to fight Gaea. I mean, they won't believe her. Right? I used riptide and she didn't do anything, surprisingly. I would wonder about this later. I defeated her and Zeus suddenly spoke "Time for rewards." We got flashed to Olympus.
Line Break
Zeus called for Jason and asked "Jason, my son, how would you like to join the rank of immortals?" Jason looked back at Piper, who gave a nod.
"Yes father." Then the 12 Olympians shot a beam into Jason and I presumed he was an immortal. Then the rest of the seven, adding Nico and excluding me, were offered the same thing. It broke my heart when Annabeth accepted the offer, but I hid it. I looked at her happily, hiding the sadness in my eyes. She realized what she did, and instantly broke down, silently sobbing. Then cool dad No. 1 called
"Percy Jackson! We offer you-" I interrupted him "Yeah no thanks Dad. With all due respect I ask for a boon, which is that I request for Hades and Hestia to have thrones on Olympus, it is only just. Oh, and also free peaceful titans like Calypso, Leto, and Aiode and such." The gods looked shocked. Zeus called to Hermes
"Hermes my son, go retrieve those 3 and we shall release the rest later." Hermes was gone and soon Leto, Calypso and Aiode came back with him. The twins looked at me gratefully, I waved to Calypso and Aiode walked up to me. She said
"Hero, for releasing me, you may have my blessing. This only includes to be able to have any song play in the room you are in. " And she proceeded to bless me. Hestia said
"Well, if he wants nothing else, I move that we give him partial immortality. For he never wants anything." Yay, I can be with Annabeth! All the gods raised their hands and Zeus said "Well Artemis, I think you shall do this." She grumbled but did it. After she did this, Zeus blurted out
"After these gifts we should move onto a more important matter. Well, the 'spy' matter. I suggest that we throw Perseus into Tartarus for being a traitor". What, THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT?! My father looked enraged.
"Zeus, you have got to be kidding me!" Dad yelled. Athena spoke
"Well, it would make sense on how they always planned their moves. And how he bled to wake her." Ares included his two cents
"Well, the little punk did defeat GAEA easily, it would make sense. And he had a nosebleed, which awakened her." Wow, Ares said something smart. Wait, not helping. Some gods grumbled in agreement when I was just dumbfounded. I was being convicted of treason. The guy who fought in two wars and won them for the gods. Won them and sacrificed many things. The person who had a fatal flaw of loyalty. I looked at the demigods, and Nico and Thalia, for help. Nico and Leo nodded, on my side while the others looked at me in distaste. I can't believe this. Zeus boomed
"Let us vote." Dionysus, Ares, Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hera, and Hephaestus voted for my treason. Well I am dead. Hestia, Hades, Dad, Apollo, Artemis and Hermes voted against it. Zeus spoke
"I will give you your goodbyes." The gods who voted against it walked to me
"Percy, I think you shouldn't go to Tartarus, but since you are, I would like give you my blessing. It includes archery and healing." "Sure Apollo." I responded. Hermes said "I too, Percy. You are my favorite cousin." "Sure." I was accepting all these blessings since I would need all the help I could get. "Perseus, I would like to give you my blessing as well. It includes shadow travel and the ability to summon any type of gem or rock or material under the earth." "Ok Uncle." Dad spoke "Percy, I will increase your water powers, yet the fates forbid me to tell you what they are." "OK Dad." "Perseus, is it ok if you could be my champion?" Artemis stated "I can't do much, besides provide you a bow, so here you go." "Thank you Artemis." And a silver bow appeared on my back. Hestia asked rather shyly. "I would be honored Hestia" I responded. Then the beams of light hit my chest and power surged through me. Zeus yelled
"TIME IS UP! Ares, grab him and throw him into the pit." I spoke "Actually, I will do it for you, ya lazy god." I walked to the pit and looked at them.
"You're making a mistake. No? Well take a picture. Compare it to when I come back. Bye ya bastards." I said as I back-flipped into Tartarus.
I saw the faces of the gods were shocked and amused. I was falling towards the pit and I fell asleep. Hey you can't blame me! From the tallest place on earth to the deepest, it is a long ride. I her whatever and looked around. She saw me instantly started laughing. I asked bemused.
"What's so funny?" "The gods' greatest he-hero sent down he-here!" "Ya, who are you?" "Fool, I am Ma Gasket!" And she charged at me. I would like to say the fight lasted long but somebody interrupted me. My grandpa. Yay. Kronos pulled out a dagger that I recognized. Annabeth's dagger. I was probably going to break down, but my gramps stopped me. He boomed with laughter and finally spoke
"Well, well, well. The gods' greatest best hero banished to Tartarus. It's funny how the world works. I guess this would have happened in all due time." "What, me getting banished?" I asked. Kronos answered "No, justice." And I was bound in celestial bronze rope. "Well little hero, let me show you how I felt after what you did." I was put down in a seat and tied down. "This is what I felt, but just a mere fraction." He stabbed me with a celestial bronze knife and I screamed. He grabbed some Phlegethon water that was near by and flicked it in my eye. It hurt like HELL. I shrieked in pain and Kronos chuckled. "Don't worry, there is more to come." And I was stabbed more and more. I was drenched with lava and Phlegethon. "This is not even near what I felt." I heard Kronos say. I was tortured more and more, with barely enough ambrosia to survive. And I knew I couldn't die here. I wasn't fighting Kronos, so I could not fall in battle. "Don't worry Hero, there is much, much more to come. I will slow down time in Tartarus so I could punish you forever."
Time skip one day
The next day Kronos came in and got straight to the point. He dunked a tank over my head and then I knew what it was to drown. I kicked the tank off my head, well at least tried to. It sealed around my neck and it was left like that for an hour or so. Finally Kronos pulled it off and I gasped for breath. I then realized we had an audience. Millions of monsters were nearby, all waiting for there turn. Before that though Kronos said
"Now, now, we must wait our turn. Me first. The next day it will be different monsters." Kronos ripped off the chains and I fell to the floor coughing. He grabbed me and viciously said "Escape this." I was tossed onto spikes that had poison in them. I got up and my feet hurt hell-like. I saw a rope that I could grab onto and desperately jumped for them, knowing they were far away. The poison was Hydra poison, and it was flowing throughout my body. I kept like that for the rest of the day, and I was finally able reach it, it disappeared and appeared only farther away. When the day was over, I was left like that, and I decided I had to sleep on the floor. It hurt HORRIBLY but I made do.
Time-skip next day
I awoke to a horrible pain. I was once again bound in ropes and I saw the Minotaur in front of me. He was writing words on me, with a sword, Back Biter is it? He wrote into my bones. Once he was done, more monsters came. This was happening forever.
Thalia POV
I can't believe Percy would be a spy! I thought he was my friend. I saw him get banished and instantly Nico and Leo scolded those who didn't believe him.
"YOU IDIOTS! Percy was the most faithful person and loyal too. I don't even remember when he made a move for something for himself. He could have joined the Titans but noooo. I was even on the verge of joining the titans, but he convinced me to not." Nico yelled. Leo agreed with.
"I mean, I know I have known Percy for a little time. But SERIOUSLY. He even went with Annabeth through damn TARTARUS! He could've saved himself. But did you see him even have hesitance thinking through that! He just instantly decided he was going with her. I can't believe you guys." And with that they left. I didn't believe them though, I mean, it would explain how the titans and giants and etc. would know every move. I am so upset with Percy.
Time skip ~ 500 Tartarus years / 10 earth years
Percy POV
I was getting tortured again, but it was boring. I mean, none of it hurt, and NONE of it. The only think that could hurt me was probably something not-physical, or poisons. Or Chaos herself. I zoned back into reality when Kronos stopped.
"Young hero, I must sadly inform you I am fading today." He said. "Noooo." I sarcastically replied "I can pass down my immortality to you, and you'll never die." I instantly became frightened. I do want to die. Soon too. This life is already hell (I don't hear a pun). "But instead I am feeling merciful and pitiful. So here is my goodbye knife." He stabbed me in the stomach and it hurt worse than all the horrible liquids in the world. Worse than swimming in the Styx by at least a hundredfold (hundred times | ten fold = ten times etc.). "But this knife comes pretty close to it." Kronos finished, slitting my wrists. I watched, in pain from the knife but the slits healed after a few moments. "It takes a heart shot or a brain shot for you to die. Or decapitation. But If you try to commit suicide, own weapons or not, it won't work. But since I am the all merciful Kronos" I gave a snort " I will pass down my titles to you to, so you can be the half immortal, all owner of Time and agriculture." I laughed. "YOU?! The titan of farming?." "Fuck off Perseus. Just take them. You can also take other titans domains, but you wont become immortal." And with that a bright burning light shone. I instantly felt a power surge and when the light died down Kronos was gone. I saw the knife on the floor and kicked it up to my hands. I was about cut the ropes when I got an idea. I tried using my time ability on the ropes and it started to untie a bit. This was tiring so I stopped and cut the rope. I need to practice in the future. I decided to head to a familiar place, Damasen's hut. I went to the hut and almost started tearing up. I can't believe Bob and Damasen are gone. I wonder if I could make any stew as good as his. I saw his kitchen and looked around for any leftover Drakon meat. I was searching and found a book called the Half-blood's guide (Harry Potter anybody? I don't own it though, Harry potter I mean). I looked inside and found remedies to poisons and healing remedies. This was how Damasen could heal my gorgon's blood! I need to remember these for later. I finally found Drakon meat and went to the pot. I tossed it in along with the liquid Damasen used. I can't name it but it looked familiar. Is that Phlegethon water? Whatever, I tossed it in and something happened. A voice spoke in my head. 'Percy, you will need me to survive.' It said. ' Who are you?' I asked. ' I am the other side of ya, call me the destroyer, or Storm, for short.' Storm said. 'Ok, what do you do?' 'I'll take over your conscious and control what you do, but I'll always listen to you, if you don't like what I'm doin.' (This idea is from Purgatory by BloodRedDemon. AWESOME story, I recommend it.) 'Sure, but do it in a few days.' I then proceeded to leave, letting the stew cook. I looked around and found the River Styx, with somebody about 5'4" in front of it. She wore a long sleeved dress that was green. I walked up to her and she spoke
"Perseus, I was looking for you."
I responded with "Ok, first it is Percy, second who are you, third is how do you know I am down here?" "I am the naiad of River Styx, and everybody knows that the gods banished the infamous hero. But, I was looking for you Percy, because I heard a once friend of yours got sent here. Zoe Nightshade, I believe."
Dun Dun Dun! Cliffy. Does anybody know how to put the two dots above the e in Zoe? I am on WordPad by the way. And WordPad doesn't auto correct, unlike Word, which I used to be on, but diffiucltieshappened. So don't blame me if there are minor mistakes. But do if there is a ' where " this is supposed to be. Anyway reviews and constructive criticism is liked. Hate and see if I care. See ya Next Chappie.
