"NASA's planning to go to Venus?" Percy muttered to himself.

He was standing in the National Air and Space museum, and there was a section about NASA's future plans. Apparently they wanted to send a rover to Venus to see if there was a way to make the air less poisonous. Maybe some way to get rid of the carbon dioxide, to let the sun's heat escape.

As he was reading, Percy saw a woman with 2 snake tails instead of legs walk into the National Museum of Natural History. He followed her, staying low, not giving her an idea that someone was following her. She grabbed a ladder and placed it next to a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil. She climbed it, and reached into its mouth, grabbing a handful of teeth.

The snake woman slithered back into another museum, the Museum of the Bible. Percy looked at the plain entrance with the words painted in blue. "Funny." He said, without any humor in his voice.

The snake woman weaved through the crowd until she reached a blocked off section. It was blocked off with tape. Hanging from it was a paper, which read, "CLOSED FOR A PRIVATE EVENT!"

Ducking underneath the tape, he walked into the exhibit. It started off with a long twisting hallway. On the walls, it told the story of Lucifer, the Fallen Angel. The more Percy read, the more Percy got pissed off. Wanting power? Trying to overthrow his father? The mortals had it all wrong.

It all came to a head when the hallway emptied into a giant room. It seemed that the hallway led to the 2nd floor with stairs leading down. He walked over to the balcony and looked down.

Gathered on the ground were more snake women, a giant empty throne, and some mortals... wearing black robes with a red trim... surrounding a pentagram...

...Satanists.

On the pentagram was a dead girl, blood pouring out of her back. Her limbs arranged for her to look like the star of a pentagram. A snake woman was gathering her blood in a watering can. One of the satanists was walking around the body. "Rose is gone, but it is not her death that was important, but it was her life, the impression she left behind. See, Rose will be remembered, she will live on forever."

"Seems to be a memorial, quite civilized actually. Maybe they didn't kill her." Percy muttered to himself.

"So now, it is time to invoke the 4 crown princes of Hell."

"Fuck. They were doing so well."

"Visualize the blue light filling your entire being. Satan to the east, Beelzebub..."

"This is preposterous." Percy muttered. "So much wrong. Firstly, there's only one me, and secondly, the whole worship thing is more my father's thing."

The guy kept talking, so Percy missed a lot of it. "Now, Lucifer will speak."

"What?" Percy said, confused.

On the other end of the room, some double doors opened, and a man wearing a goat costume came forth. The horns were too big and the neck was too tall, so he hit his head on the door frame.

Percy had had enough. He started walking down the stairs. "No, no, I'm ending this. This is where I draw the line."

He reached the bottom of the stairs. "Excuse me, sorry, sorry."

He pushed the costumed man off of the raised platform. "Just, butt out." he turned to the rest of the gathering. "Right, I'm the real Lucifer, and I insist that you stop this nonsense immediately. I mean, have you heard yourselves, embarrassing. Blue light, coming out of your ass, or whatever it was. I mean, you preach rebellion, but you're misguided sheep, and goat. Where's the real defiance, the free will?!"

Everyone started clapping, yelling out that free will rules. One of the girls in the back yelled out. "Yeah! Anarchy!"

"No, no! You're doing it again, don't applaud. This whole thing's a sham. I mean..." Percy looked around. On one wall, was a table filled with weird things. He grabbed a jar with a... a... he didn't know what it was. "Look at this. What is this supposed to be? Alien fetus? Pickled demon?"

Another guy whispered to the goat. "He's the best Lucifer we've had in years."

They started chanting, "LUCIFER! LUCIFER! LUCIFER!"

Percy looked around, his expression showing confusion and amongst unconcealed rage. "STOP!" He yelled, smashing down the glass jar. In his rage, he unleashed his Devil face, before he took it back.

They all quieted down.

"This girl is dead! And those women are gathering her blood in a fucking watering can! And none of you are questioning it?! Like, WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY GONNA USE THAT FOR?!" Percy looked around, before continuing. "She didn't deserve that. That is not what I stand for. Is that what you all wanted? Eh?" He looked around to see their eyes clearing, like they were foggy before. "You should be ashamed of yourselves." He said, quieter. "Get out."

The group slowly made their way up the stairs. Percy looked over his shoulder at the ringleader. "If you continue this worshiping me thing, at least do it right. Beelzebub, Old Scratch, those are all me. I'm the only king of Hell. And I have a Queen. Her name's Mazikeen. At the very least add her in there."

When all the satanists were gone, Percy turned to the snake woman. "Now, what are you girls doing?"

They had all gathered into a corner. One seemed to be kneeling, pouring the watering can full of blood over a patch of disturbed dirt. It was at this point that Percy realized what was happening. "We're serving the general." One said.

The dirt erupted as skeletons climbed out. One of the snake women, which Percy finally remembered as Scythian dracaena, held out a piece of silver fabric. Percy instantly ran and grabbed it from the dracaena, but got a piece of his suit torn off from one of the skeletons.

"Shit." Percy mumbled. He spread his wings, flying up to the balcony, and landing in superhero landing, before sprinting down the hallway. He burst through the door, freaking out the tourists. He weaved through them , running out of the museum. He ran all the way to the mall.

There, he ran into some familiar faces. Zoë, Bianca, Grover, and Thalia were all walking back to the van, when Percy showed up. "Hey guys, fancy seeing you here."

A gunshot rang through the air. Percy instantly spread his wings around the group, protecting them. Bullets hit his back, but he only felt pinches. He looked at Bianca. "Bianca, I need you to kill those Spartoi."

"Why me?"

"Spartoi are only able to be killed by a child of Hades. And luckily, you are one."

"What?!"

"Quite a shock, but right now, they are trying to kill me, so if you could kill them first, that'd be great."

With help from Zoë, Bianca shot each Spartoi, turning them into dust. Percy retracted his wings. "Alright. We need to get going."

"Why would you go?" Thalia asked.

"You need a fallen angel, right? Well, there's only one, and that's me."

"Kitty!" A young kid said.

Percy turned to see a giant golden lion ripping the camp van into sliced metal pasta. "Well, fuck."

The Nemean lion turned to look at the questers. Percy took out Riptide, but didn't uncap it. He held out his arm. The Nemean lion charged, and jumped on top of Percy. It scratched, but was confused when it's claws didn't do anything but mess up his suit. It tried to eat Percy's arm, but that was what he wanted. His arm went down the lion's throat, only for Percy to uncap Riptide. The sword expanded and went straight through the flesh of the esophagus, cracked through the skull, and stabbed the brain.

The lion jerked, before turning into dust.

Percy got up and dusted himself off.

"Well, there goes our van. What are we going to do now, oh great fallen angel?" Thalia asked.

"We 'borrow' a car." Percy said with a smirk.

They searched the parking lot until Percy laid his eyes on his dream car. A black 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. He concentrated, and the car's engine turned on. Percy hopped in the driver's seat, Zoë in shotgun, and the last 3 in the back.

The questers sped out of Washington D.C.

A/N. Wow, 3 chapters in 1 week. I spoiled you guys. Honestly, I just had way too much enjoyment writing this chapter. Like I have mentioned before, most of my ideas that I had for this story occur from The Titan's Curse onwards. And those of you who wanted the Nemean lion as Percy's pet, sorry, but I had this idea from the beginning. Oh, and that Satanist scene is from the show, with only a few things altered for this story.

As always, I like hearing what you thought.
