*10 Years after Percy is captured*

Percy's POV:

Percy breathed heavily, his head laid against the cold floor. He had been let out of the restraints and was currently being tossed around the room by the titan king. After his breathing had settled slightly Percy slowly pushed himself up to sit against the wall. The room was tilted at an awful angle and swayed slightly, making him feel sick to the stomach. But through his sickly haze Percy could still make out the form of Kronos lumbering towards him, laughing gleefully. Desperate not to show the extent of his fear to the titan, Percy used the wall to pull him to his feet. Once he was up Percy wiped the back of his hand across his mouth, it came away stained red with golden streaks. But by now the son of Poseidon was used to seeing his own blood, and where he would've once been worried by the sight he now just wiped it away on what was left of his shirt. He painfully turned his head back towards his grandfather, and glared at him with everything he had. "Is that all you've got father time?" he smirked, in his time with Kronos Percy had learned that he hate the name humans had given him. So, of course, Percy often called it him. "I see you're still as smart mouthed as ever. I can't wait till the day I get rid of that." Kronos growled menacingly. He was still coming forward, but the demigod did not have the strength to move away anymore. All he could do was gulp and try not to shake in fear as the titan lord stopped a foot away from him. Towering above the boy, making him tilt his head right back to be able to see his face.

"That's never going to happen." Percy spat, showing only a slight bit of the fear he truly felt. "You're never going to win. I won't let that happen." "Oh," Kronos raised an eye brow questioningly. "I think I will. And you are going to be right beside me Perseus, tearing Olympus down. Brick by brick." By the last sentence Kronos' face was no more than an inch from Percy's own, his threatening words finally making Percy's inner fear show through. "I-I I" The teen sputtered, trying in vain to form a coherent sentence. His shoulders were hunched as the boy tried to sink into the solid wall behind him, his breathing once again rapid. Kronos suddenly leaned away from his prisoner and took a step back, giving Percy enough room to breathe as he tried to settle his pounding heart. "Well I think we're done here." He said, smiling viciously at the demigods fear.

Percy sighed in relief, he was beginning to worry that he would get seriously injured this time. Maybe even fatally injured, but only if he was lucky. But he wasn't. As the fates decided to prove to him once again, Kronos suddenly lunged forward and wrapped a hand around his neck. Slamming him into the wall and cutting off his air supply. He chuckled darkly. "You really thought we were done then didn't you? I only said were done here, were going somewhere else now." Percy was now gasping uselessly for air. His vision was beginning to fade at the edges as he began to slip into unconsciousness. "Oh no. You are not escaping me." Kronos sneered at him. As suddenly as it appeared the titans hand vanished from around his neck and Percy collapsed against the wall coughing. "Pathetic." Kronos spat. The son of Poseidon lifted his head and glared at the being before him, eyes full of murderous intent.

After a few moments Percy began to feel something cold creep around his neck. His hands instantly flew to his neck, where they found a thick metal band encircling it. A collar. His eyes widened as his head snapped back towards Kronos. Only to see the titan laughing, as he held a metal chain that was connected to this collar. 'A leash.' Percy thought miserably. "What are you doing?" He asked, his voice full of panic and disbelief. He didn't think that even Kronos would stoop that low. "Well you're my pet." The titan answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I needed something so that people know you are mine, and don't try to take you when I take you out for your little walk." His grin was now bigger than ever as Percy continued to panic and tug at the collar. "Come along now, boy." The titan king then proceeded to drag the demigod out of the room as he hurried behind, being half strangled by the collar.

For the first time since Percy had been captured 10 years ago, he was finally leaving the room and managing to get a look at the outside. However, to his dismay, the door to his cell lead out into a large throne room. It seemed as if the whole enemy force had been gathered to watch the hero be dragged through the halls, as thousands upon thousands of monsters were stood in the room. The door to Percy's room was behind the throne, so for the time being he was hidden from the crowd – able to see them but they hadn't spotted him yet. Suddenly Kronos whipped around and slammed the defenceless demigod into the back of his throne. "Now," the time lord started in a threatening tone "we are going to go around there in a second and if you do anything to try and harm my subjects or escape you will get the worst punishment of your life. Do you understand?" Even in his dizzy state Percy could tell that the titan king was not kidding. He had had some awful things done to him, but Percy did not want to test Kronos' ability to carry out his threat. He simply just gulped and nodded slowly.

His head finally settled on his chest, so he was unable to see the triumphant smirk the titan now wore. "Come along then Perseus." That was the only warning the demigod got before he was roughly dragged out from behind the throne and tossed to the floor, landing heavily on his shoulder. An ear splitting crack rang out throughout the room and Percy cried out in pain. His most recent broken bone had only just been fixed and now he had another one to deal with. But the monsters didn't care for his pain, they just burst out laughing. Some calling insults out to the hero that had defeated many of them, and aided in the defeat of others. Percy tried his best to ignore them and instead set his one good hand against the stone floor and, once he had regained his breath, pushed himself into a seated position. The son of Poseidon's head fell low as he cradled his broken shoulder loosely in one hand, trying in vain to ease the pain. After a few moments Percy began to notice stronger auras not far from him. It seemed as if some of the beings were even leaning over the demigod they were that close. Cautiously he lifted his head to see which monsters he had been thrown to.

As soon as he saw who was in front of him the boy gasped and tried to scoot away. This was his worst nightmare, it was even worse than Kronos. (Only however, because the titan was among the beings closest to Percy.) There right in front of him were eleven of the people he never wanted to see again, the titans. Hyperion, Koios, Krios, Kronos, Oceanus, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Tethys, Theia, Themis and Atlas. Each stood looming over the teen hero with a sinister mocking smile plastered on their face. Percy did not instantly recognise all the titans, but it was easy enough to figure out given that he knew most of them. The closest to him was Hyperion, the most eager to get revenge after his humiliating defeat at the demigod's hand. The blonde titan took a menacing step forward, instantly all the other monsters quietened eager to see what would happen to their enemy. "Oh, I have waited too long for this day. 10 years you've been here and only now do I get to see you." He cackled, so close to Percy's face his breath tickled his skin. "Only now, do I get to have the famed hero of Olympus cowering at my feet!" By the end the titan of light was smiling gleefully and threw his head back with a booming laugh, the rest of the crowd joining in. Not wanting to give his captor the satisfaction if seeing him afraid, Percy pushed himself up a little straighter and tilted his head up to glare straight into the titans fiery orbs.

Once the titan has calmed down he turned back to the teen hero at his feet, the smiled slipping off his face. "I see you've still not lost the ability to annoy people." He sneered. "No, I think it is one of my best features." Percy joked finally finding his voice. "Apart from my ability to kick your ass. Again." He threatened. At his comment the monsters all turned to the titan, unsure of how he would react. What they saw was the titan repeatedly clenching and unclenching his fists, his face twitching in annoyance, barely keeping control of his mortal form. After a few moments of still silence Hyperion lunged forward and hit the young demigod squarely around the face. He put so much force behind the punch that Percy fell back to the floor and landed on his face. The teen tried to hold back his pain but a muffled cry escaped him. Not a moment after he had landed a large hand clamped down on his broken shoulder and yanked him to his feet. He screamed in pain.

Squeezing his shoulder tighter Hyperion leaned in close to his ear and whispered "You think that's pain? I'll show you true pain." With that he punched the demigod in the stomach, making him fly back into the throne before sliding to the floor. There the demigod groaned in pain as he heaved up the little bit of food he had been given. Percy didn't even acknowledge that the monsters were now cheering on the titan as he stalked forwards again. Percy had not recovered from the last hit before he was tossed onto his back, earning a scream as his shoulder protested. The titian of the east smirked at him from above. "You've not even had the worst of it yet." He spat in the demigods face. A hand was suddenly under Percy's shirt and pressed to his side. After a moment of confusion a burning sensation over took his senses. He let loose a long blood curdling scream and did not stop screaming for the full five minutes it took for Kronos to tell Hyperion to stop.

"Ok that's enough brother!" Kronos shouted over the teens tortured screams. "I don't want him dead just yet!" The flaming hand was suddenly removed from Percy's side and his screams subsided. Relief fill him now that the pain was gone. It didn't last long though, as Kronos' grinning face entered his vision. "Oh no, I have plans for this one." The way the titan king said plans made Percy shiver in dread he knew he would not like whatever was in store for him. As suddenly as his face had appeared it vanished again as he addressed the monsters. "Ok, shows over we need to be going but we'll be coming back through at the same time tomorrow. This will be happening every day." Percy vaguely listened to what Kronos was saying but he was more bothered about his stomach. When he managed to regain enough strength, Percy pushed himself up and slowly rolled back his shirt so he could see the injury. His stomach, just like the rest of him, was covered by the criss-crossing scars he had earn in his time with Kronos. But he barely saw them, what really drew his attention was the burn on his left side. It looked as though his skin had been melted by the heat it was subjected to and some of it was still bubbling and changing shape. However, the constant factor was the bright pink colour of the area and blood seeping out of his skin at random intervals.

Percy dropped his shirt and looked up with a haunted look on his face, tears in his eyes. Kronos was stood there smiling viciously at the traumatized look on the boys face. The titan walked forward triumphantly and grabbed the chain that still hung from the demigod's neck, he would have to thank his brother later for doing what may have taken him years to do. The boy was beginning to break, not nearly there yet, but once the path is set there is nothing short of rescue that can stop someone from breaking. His enemy would finally be his. Kronos could wait however long it took, he was patient. Not giving him time to do react Kronos dragged Percy to his feet by his neck. "Now if you'll step right this way Mr Jackson we can carry on our way." He said happily to the teen, whose tears were finally spilling down his cheek at the knowledge his torture was not over. A chuckle was heard off to his left and for the first time Percy noticed they were not alone, Oceanus had stayed. 'What is he doing here?' the demigod absently wondered as he once again hurried after Kronos trying not to be choked by the collar. 'Oh well, I'm sure I'll find out soon.'

Percy was dragged over to a metal door on the other side of the room and roughly pushed inside. Kronos followed him inside and shoved the demigod against the far wall, before retreating back to the door to talk to his brother. Now that the titan had stopped dragging him around Percy could see the room was much like his own room. However, instead of having a table in the centre a large water tank occupied the space. It now made sense to him why Oceanus had stayed, but he didn't understand why they needed water. It healed him, not hurt him. But then again maybe that was the point. Kronos could hurt him and then heal him so he could do the torture all over again, just as Polybotes had threatened. Honestly, the thought scared him but it didn't seem like something Kronos would do. No, he probably had something much worse planned. It didn't seem like he'd have to wait long to find out because at that moment the two titans began stalking back towards him. Percy sat up straighter against the wall, trying to act brave despite the pain from his shoulder and the burn. However, it didn't go very well as he still trembled slightly and grimaced from the pain. Without even saying a word Oceanus hauled the young demigod to his feet and pulled him to the edge of the tank, ignoring his whimpers of pain.

As soon as he was next to the water Kronos grabbed hold of him and Oceanus walked to the opposite end of the tank, submerging his hand in the water. "I heard a rumour of your greatest fear." The titan king drawled. "Your biggest fear is suffocation, especially in water." Fear gripped the son of Poseidon's heart, though he tried not to show it, as Kronos laughed. "How ironic would it be if the son of the sea's biggest fear stemmed from water? How about we test the theory. Oceanus are you ready?" The titan nodded and Kronos began to push Percy's head towards the liquid. He tried as hard as he could to push against the titans hand and squirm out of his grip. But it was all in vain, the titan was too strong and soon Percy's head was plunged into the water. The demigod tried to hold his breath for as long as he could and reassure himself that it was his own element, he couldn't drown. But he couldn't convince himself. The combination of Oceanus' presence and his memories of the muskeg in Alaska drove a spike of fear straight into his heart. He tried to get out of the water, thrashing uselessly. But it wasn't enough and eventually he ran out of air. Unable to stop himself Percy breathed in a huge gulp of water. The liquid ran straight into his lungs and he started to suffocate. He was drowning, the one thing that should be impossible for him.

After endless minutes of struggling and choking Percy was lifted from the water and thrown to the floor. Where he sat for several minutes coughing up the water, barely noticing the two titans laughter. Even after his coughing had subsided Percy sat shivering from fear on the floor, trembling as he relived his fear in his mind. "Who would have thought it?" Kronos yelled in glee, surprising Percy. "It's true! Oh, the fun were going to have with this." He chuckled darkly. "W-why couldn't I breathe?" The demigod managed to splutter. This just made the two titans laugh more. Oceanus cleared his throat, drawing Percy's attention to him. "I believe I'm the answer to that." The twos eyes met, fearful sea green and merciless ocean blue. "I stopped the water from connecting with your powers, mine over ruling your own." He let out a booming laugh as realisation hit the son of the sea. His powers were useless. He wasn't even safe in his own element. The sea was being restrained, being kept from him. Something that should be impossible.

"You know what Perseus. I'm going to make a deal with you." Percy's head instantly snapped towards Kronos. Making a deal with him was never good. "I'm going to tell you something in a minute and when you believe it, I'll never do this to you again." The demigod's forehead screwed up in confusion. The titan lord was enjoying this far too much to just stop. Wasn't he? Whatever he wanted him to believe must be absurd, or he already knows it not true. He broke from his musings as the king continued. "Annabeth left you." This confused the demigod even more. "I know that, I tricked her into leaving." He replied, still not understanding. "No, you didn't. She tricked you into staying. She told you she could get you out from the other side, even though she knew she couldn't." Finally Percy understood, and he was outraged. "NO! She didn't do that, she would never! And you are never going to convince me otherwise." He shouted in the titans face, for the first time in a while having the courage to meet his golden eyes. The titan just shook his head and tutted mockingly. "Well were going to be here a very long time then. And if you don't remember what she did today, we'll come back every day until you do." The titan began stalking over to Percy once again. He tried in vain to get away, but Kronos clamped his hand down on his broken shoulder. Erecting a scream of pain from the boy. He then dragged the struggling teen back towards the water tank. Percy did not stop screaming until his head was re-submerged in the water, and even after that he carried on fighting his captor.

The cycle continued for hours. Being submerged until he was almost unconscious, then being taunted and fed lies before being plunged into the water again. After 4 hours the tortured demigod was finally dragged back to 'his' room, with the promise of continuing the next day.

Nico's POV

The glow of the camp fire sent an orange light around the amphitheatre, casting strange shadows on the demigods faces. It was Thursday, the day they recounted stories of the greatest heroes. This time it was a tale very close to Nico's heart. The story they had been telling for the last few weeks was the story of Percy Jackson the twice saviour of Olympus. The campers were sat eagerly in their seats listening to the tale told by Chiron, it was one of their favourites. A demigod just like any of them who rose to be the greatest hero ever. However, the story was only told once a year and the reason was clear if you looked at any of the immortal campers. Each ones face was a picture of grief as they remembered their lost friend. A few even had tears glistening on their cheeks. Nico was one of these, although no one could see as he was hidden in the shadows, never showing his weakness to others.

The tale always made him sad but tonight it brought unease as well, he could sense that something was wrong. Something was drastically wrong. He often worried for his lost friend, as even though he couldn't sense his soul in the underworld none of the gods could sense it living either. Anything could be happening to him, if he was even still alive. Some of his worst enemies lived in the pit, vengeful monsters out for his blood. Nico had only spent a week in Tartarus before he was captured, Percy had been down there 10 years now. The son of Hades couldn't even imagine what it was like for him. Despite his worry he had never felt something as he did then. Nico thought he could feel the lost hero's soul, for once, and it was suffering. Greatly. Maybe even more than any he had ever felt in any soul, and that was a lot.

But there was nothing he could do, the pit was still sealed. No-one had given up, all the gods were trying to get him out trying everything they could think of. And if they had no more ideas, they went through the list again. Even the gods that didn't like Percy knew he didn't deserve whatever was happening to him down there, although some of them just didn't want to feel Poseidon's wrath. Nico had got so desperate once that he had stood on the edge of the pit and pleaded to Tartarus to let them in to get Percy.

But nothing was working. For now there was nothing they could do to save their hero.

Poor Percy! I'm too cruel to him, sorry. But phew that was a long one. If anyone found the hidden reference please comment the fandom and you'll be mentioned at the start of the next chapter in the AN. What did you guys think to the latest chapter?
