Summary: The story begins near the end of the Last Olympian. As Luke lays on the throne room dying surrounded by Grover, Annabeth, and Percy, Kronos uses whatever's left of his essence to create a time bomb powerful enough to destroy Mt Olympus. Percy realizes he has one chance to stop it and rushes in.
Chapter 1: A Hero's Sacrifice
Mt Olympus: Throne Room
Luke lays on the ground, bleeding profusely from his armpit as Grover and Annabeth surround him with tears falling out from their eyes. He looks up at Percy, the very same person who trusted him with Annabeth's blade in order to end this nightmare. He knows that despite this last bit of heroism that he had caused too much destruction. With a single whisper he asks Percy "Please, don't let this happen again Percy."
Percy stares down at the man he once respected, the man who betrayed Camp Half-Blood, the man who blackmailed Silena in order to be his spy as he kept turning demigods against their parents, and the man who stabbed himself in the armpit, his own Achilles point, in order to stop Kronos. Percy nods and promises, "I won't Luke. I swear on the Styx"
"OH DO NOT FRET CASTELLAN!" a voice booms throughout the throne room startling the occupents as a massive flaming head appears in the center of the throne room. Percy grabs Riptide and slashes it only for it to pass through with no effect. "How are you still here Kronos?" he asks himself
"JACKSON WILL NOT HAVE TO KEEP HIS WORD AS IN MERE MOMENTS MT OLYMPUS WILL BE REDUCED TO ASHES. I HAVE GATHERED WHATS LEFT OF MY LIFE FORCE AND CONVERTED IT INTO A TIME BOMB. SO FAREWELL CASTELLAN AND KNOW THAT YOU HAVE PLAYED YOUR PART WELL." Kronos states while laughing maniacallybefore turning into a large explosive device.
Out of ideas and almost out of energy, Percy looks around and remembers the Ophiotaurus he affectionately called Bessie and throws Riptide at his aquarium, shattering it and setting it free. With no time left he turns to Annabeth with a teary smile and whispers " I love you Annabeth. Always have" leaving a shocked Annabeth to cry out as Percy lifts the water from the shattered aquarium and surrounds himself and the bomb in a watery sphere.
Maybe it was out of desperation, maybe he just wanted to do what was right, or maybe he wanted to save the woman he loved. Whatever the reason was, he grabbed the bomb and with one last effort, he runs as hard as he can towards a glass window with the bomb in hand and surrounded by the sphere which kept shrinking until it only contained him and the bomb and slams into it hurtling him out of the throne room as he fell down from Olympus.
Outside the Throne Room.
A massive boom is heard outside of the Throne room. Every one of the Olympians and Hades can sense Kronos's essence disappearing but yet something felt off. Poseidon has a worried look on his face as he rushes to the Throne Room with Athena right behind him. "You think your son may be involved, don't you?" Athena asks not wanting to start another argument with her rival. Poseidon nods as they reach the doors and push them open.
They all stare in shock as they study the room. Some thrones appeared to have slash marks and a window was shattered. But what grabbed their attention was a certain blonde daughter of Athena crying her heart out with a satyr right next to her holding back his own tears while the son of Hermes lay dead. Poseidon looks around for Percy but only sees Hestia crying silently with Pandora's jar in hand. Athena runs to comfort her daughter while Hermes approaches his son. Poseidon asks Hestia "What happened sister?" Only for her to announce
"We need two shrouds. One for the Son of Hermes, and another for the Son of Poseidon!"
Throne Room Hours Later
Percy's death had taken the life out of everyone. Tyson once hearing about it was balling for so long and no one could blame the poor Cyclops. Clarisse took off her helmet in honor of her fallen frenemy. Thalia was livid so much so she summoned lightning bolts and threw them out of the shattered window. Poseidon was left grieving as he blamed himself for not getting there earlier. Athena couldn't help but feel guilty over not giving Percy a chance as he proved her wrong and could only wish she could help her daughter pull through. Artemis was saddened at the loss of a man who in her opinion was the exception to the filth she had to deal with. Aphrodite was hurting not only for the loss of her daughter Silena but also for the loss of a relationship that she waited for quite some time. Oddly enough, Ares was quiet as he sat on his throne. The demigod that humiliated him was gone and yet he felt no joy whatsoever
Zeus had to call the meeting however and summoned the demigods who came to protect Mt Olympus. "I must first start this meeting by thanking three people here today. First, I would like to thank Hades for his assistance against Kronos." The God of the Underworld nods as he and his son seem to contemplate something.
Zeus then turns to Poseidon and continues " I also must thank Poseidon for his timely interference against Typhon which helped us immensely" Normally Poseidon would play with his brother's ego but he is too distraught.
Zeus then turns towards the demigods who are still reeling from the loss of their leader. "And finally I wish to thank each and every demigod from Camp Half-Blood as well as the Hunters of Artemis who came together and fended off Kronos's forces and prevented our annihilation. To honor those who have fallen, Hades has agreed to send them to Elysium directly." Zeus turns to Hades for confirmation, as does Artemis whose ticked that her father didn't let her announce her hunters going in, and again Hades nods and yet he still seems to be in deep thought.
Zeus begins to reward certain heroes, amongst were Clarisse, Tyson, Grover, and Thalia, all still hurt by Percy's death. Hades then unexpectedly calls out to Nico. The dark teen walks towards his father and waits as his father asks " Have you sensed Perseus's spirit?" Shocking everyone in attendance. Annabeth watches as Nico shakes his head "No Father I have not. I sensed the souls of the fallen demigods and hunters but Percy is not amongst them."
Chaos ensues. Poseidon, Annabeth, and Grover faint as the possibility that Percy entered Tartarus is too much for them. Athena is raking her brain to figure out what has happened. Ares and Dionysus get into a shouting match. Hera tries to keep her husband from blowing things up. Apollo and Hermes are trying to hold back both Artemis and Aphrodite. It's all too much for Tyson as he breathes in and yells out "QUIEEET!" the room booms as everyone stares at the Cyclops who had been promoted as their General. Tyson then asks Hades " Lord Hades, what does that mean? Is he in Tartarus?" Poseidon and Annabeth had woken up from the shout and stare at Hades.
Hades shakes his head, relieving the both of them, "No. Kronos's essence seems to have faded. And if a mortal soul had entered Tartarus without this council's approval, The Furies would've acted immediately. This begs the question. Where is he?" Hades asks before a rift opens up in the throne room.
"I believe I may have an answer" replies a tired voice as an old man steps out of the rift with a giant clock attached to his back. Everyone studies the man in earnest. He's wearing a worn out suit and pants and has five different watches on each hand. Annabeth and Athena however notice that the watches all are telling different times before gasping in shock as they reach the same conclusion, "You're the Primordial of Time Chronos!" they shout in tandem.
"Correct my dears" he answers as he stumbles towards them, his disheveled hair flailing around. "When Kronos used his essence to create a bomb, he used his powers of time in order to send Mt Olympus back in time to a period where it would have never existed. Perseus however interfered and as he grabbed it, it appears that he may have accidentally turned a dial forward as he ran out of the room." Chronos explains as he creates another rift showing the scenario in question.
As they watch the event happen in front of them, they see Percy shattering the aquarium built for the Ophiotaurus and using its waters to create a sphere around him and the bomb. They watch as he shrinks the sphere with every step he took as he hurls himself out of the window and watch as a rift is created from the bomb's explosion sending PErcy through it. "Ah, Perseus. Very clever. The bomb was meant for the entirety of Olympus, and yet when you surrounded yourself and the bomb in the sphere, you limited its radius to only include yourself" Chronos smiles as he praises Percy's quick thinking.
Annabeth, relieved that Percy is alive, rushes to the Primordial. "Please milord, please tell me you can bring him back." Chronos understands her desperation but shakes his head. "I'm sorry dear but it's not that easy. Right now Percy is flying through space and time and unless I have something he used to carry I am unable to track him, let alone attempt to bring him here."
The news sends whatever hope they had crashing until Athena remembers something. "Hold on. Anaklusmos was designed to return to its user. But I did not see it returning to him. Also he had thrown the sword essentially giving it up." She then stands up, reverting to human size, and runs towards the place where the aquarium used to be only to find the Ophiotaurus staring at the blade in question. Athena grabs the blade and hands it to Chronos. The Primordial closes his eyes as he runs his hands across the blade suddenly his eyes glow as he projects an image in front of his audience. It's Percy, topless, unconsciously sinking to the bottom of a lake. Poseidon tries to reach out to him but to no avail. He tries to command the waters but nothing happens.
"It appears Perseus has traveled to a distant future, one where Gods might not exist. I can however sense a future counterpart of mine there and will try to contact him but it will take an entire year for the two of us to be able to bring him back safely. Also it appears that he will need some help in that universe as the monsters there are twice as dangerous. I would suggest that if anyone wishes to bless him do it now as this will be your only oppurtunity." Chronos dictates as he attempts to study the universe Percy is in right now.
Without hesitation, Hestia arrives in front of Kronos and raises her hand "I bless Perseus with the fire of the hearth. May it aid him on his path." her hand burns as she says that, coincidentally a tattoo burns onto Percy's torso and right shoulder. Athena steps up as well and raises her hand "I bless Perseus with an increased intelligence and an understanding of language. He will need it should he happen to be in a foreign country as we speak" Athena states as her hand glows. Hermes steps up and raises his hand as well "I bless Perseus with the gift of speed. May he outrun his enemies." Hermes's hand glows as soles are placed at his feet.
Poseidon rushes forward and raises his Trident "I bless my son with the powers of the earthshaker. May his foes tremble in battle" He slams his Trident down as it glows. A tattoo burns itself onto Percy's right shoulder as well. "Alright then that's enough. As much as you wish for him to stay strong in that world, giving him too much power will draw in far much more attention." Chronos states making a good point.
The Fates appear as they declare"Everyone we are in telepathic contact with Perseus. Perseus desires a gift from the Olympians but will only say it if they swear it on the Styx"
Zeus narrows his eyes at the three "Does he not trust us? Why would he ask that?" The response is quick "Perseus learned that no oath is sacred unless sworn on the Styx." Zeus sighs as he turns to his brothers and children who all nod. "Very well then we swear on the Styx to grant Perseus's wish"
The Fates nod as they stall for a moment before the three laugh in unison scaring everyone in attendance as they state"Perseus's wish has multiple requirements so bare with us" Clotho steps forward and details "First Perseus asks that every half-blood child should be sent to Camp Halfblood and claimed when they reach the age of thirteen. Second he requests that cabins should be built for the minor gods in order for them to claim their children"
"Now hold on a second, we cannot" Zeus tries to interrupt but Lachesis stops him "Third he wishes that Hades and Hestia are to have cabins built in Camp Half-Blood. Fourth, peaceful Titans such as Calypso and Leto, are to be released immediately."
Ares attempts to interrupt but Atropos reveals the final two wishes "Fifth The Big Three Pact must be broken as it has caused nothing but suffering. And finally Luke Castellan must be regarded as a hero. It was his sacrifice that defeated Kronos. That is all".
Poseidon asks the Fates "I do not mean to offend him but he asks a lot." The Fates turn to him and respond "Perseus agrees, but he also believes that the right thing is never easy. He believes you all have the capacity for change but he wishes to make sure that change does happen otherwise he fears that Kronos might be able to use the same insecurities again." With that the three Fates disappear.
Chronos smiles as he stands up. "Very well then I must get going. It will be quite some time before we are able to bring Percy back but here" he hands Riptide back to Annabeth who holds onto it for dear life. "You can use this to communicate with Perseus whenever you wish to do so." he says before creating a rift and stepping through.
Annabeth smiles as tears fall down from her eyes. "I love you, Seaweed Brain. Stay safe out there"
Unknown Lake
Time passed by for Percy since he heard Annabeth speak to him. He felt different somehow as his head started to clear and arms started to hurt. He didn't know how long he had been out but he knew it had been a significant amount and he wished to hurry up and get back home. Suddenly a violent gust hits him in the head. "OW! WHAT THE?!" Percy looks up and sees a maelstrom being created above him with several people getting sucked in. Normally he would try to save them but something about those guys felt off. Even the shark headed guy. Looking up he thought he noticed a frog-like girl carrying a midget with purple balls while also carrying a green haired boy with her tongue as she jumped away from the maelstrom.
Curious, he followed them underwater noticing the green haired boy holding his right hand as his thumb and middle finger looked swollen. "Where am I?" Percy asked himself, "I can breathe underwater so that's nothing new but I can't feel dad's essence here. And I know for sure I'm not in New York anymore. Also why does that girl look a lot like an actual frog. Something doesn't add up here." As he's asking himself these questions he notices the group he's following have stopped near the shore and stays clear not wanting to cause trouble. What happens next shocks him to his core.
A man with wild turquoise hair and what appeared to be mannequin hands all over his face and body rushes towards them with a hand outstretched towards the frog girl. Her body shivering with terror as the hand stopped just inches in front of her face. Looking past the handy man he saw a massive purple being with a large beak and an exposed brain grabbing a black haired man by the head and twisted arm. The monstrosity lifted the man's head which had a glowing red eye directed towards the handy man and slammed it repeatedly to the ground knocking him out.
Percy glared at the two as he reached for his sword. Only to find it missing. "Damn I guess its the old fashioned way now." He then notices something off about his arms. Two tattoos on both arms one meaning Fire in greek while the other spelling Earth. A massive gust of wind jars him from studying the new art on his body as the green haired kid tried to land a solid punch against the handy man only for the purple freak to block it. "Percy, you have to save them. Right now" he psyches himself up, "It doesn't matter where you are right now. It doesn't matter how you got here. Right now if you hesitate these kids will die. Now plant your feet, grit your teeth, AND MOVE!"
USJ Mountain Zone
Shoto Todorki runs towards the fountain area as he had gathered enough intel on why those thugs had attacked the USJ. He plans on warning the others when a massive water giant appears in the shipwreck zone. Unfazed whatsoever, he pushes through, determined to put a stop to this madness today.
USJ Entrance
Ochaco Uraraka and Mina Ashido silently pray for help as they try to make sure Thirteen is alright. The back of her suit had been torn off violently from that warp villain who thankfully was thrown away before Iida got out. Suddenly the six-armed Mezo Shoji stands up pointing to the fountain. Everyone, including Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato, stare as a giant water creature pops up in the shipwreck zone. Shoji yells in horror, "That thing has Midoriya, Tsuyu, and Mineta in there!" Thats when the doors are blasted open.
USJ Ruins Zone
Katsuki Bakugo sneers as he and the red headed Ejiro Kirishima run headfirst to the Central Plaza as they saw the warp villain being thrown there. They get closer only to find a massive water being looking down on the three main villains. Kirishima is about to yell out but Bakugo shuts him up. Kirishimia looks back but is stunned when Bakugo points at the three classmates. Kirishima takes a closer look and notices that they're not in danger rather they were saved. He then nods to Bakugo as they stealthily get closer.
Alright that's the end of the first Chapter of my new story The Time Traveling Hero Perseus. Now a summary of what powers Percy will have are as follows
Fire Manipulation (Hestia)
Water Manipulation (His own as a son of Poseidon)
Earth Manipulation (Poseidon allowing him to use more earth)
Wind Manipulation (Again his own as he actually can create hurricanes
Speed of Sound (Hermes. Not going to make him as fast as All Might honestly)
Curse of Achilles
Increased Intelligence and knowledge of languages (Athena)
Let me know what you think so far. I appreciate criticism as long as it's based. Also let me know if you want to see Percy being romantically involved in other females as well as Annabeth since I'm keeping that pairing. Also if you have been waiting for my other story I promise I will update it soon.
Next Time: Percy faces Shigaraki and Nomu. He still has quite a few powers he can use but he won't be able to win on his own. Luckily All Might is here.
