Please review, favorite, and follow, hope you enjoy the chapter. Just a reminder this story is a Percy x Thalia. I was thinking of starting another story about Percy x Artemis or Percy x Clarisse, but I will still be writing to this story, it's just I wanted to start new story. I will give you guys some more details on the stories later.

Annabeth

After I resurfaced me and Grover looked for Percy with no luck for five minutes. And before we could keep looking the coast guard came by and picked us up. And boy did they have questions. I had to make some story up about us falling off some yot while at a party and being stranded there for a few minutes, they bought it. They probable see weirder things happen everyday, they do live in L.A. After they dropped us off at the port Grover started to panicke.

"What do we do now? We don't have the Master Bolt, we don't have any money, we don't know where to go, or even a clue is to where or who has it. And worst of all Percy is still in the Underworld." Grover started to ramble off and hyperventilating.

"Grover calm down. We can't do anything if your passed out." I said also freaking out a little, but he did calm down still looking a little pale with sweat on his forehead.

"Yeah, Yeah your right. What do we do now?" He said taking deep breaths calming himself down.

"If I may give a suggestion?" said someone behind us that made me and Grover whipped around. I took my dagger out and Grover took out his magic reed pipe that all satyrs had, but it wouldn't do much since we were next to the beach. "Maybe you guess could go back to the Underworld? I could even give you guys a quick ride there." The man said taking a police baton out of a pink unicorns bookbag, which then grew into a five foot long metal rod with electric blue covering the entire thing.

At the sight of the Master Bolt, Grover was back to hyperventilating and sweating even more. The Master Bolt alone sent power radiating through the air. The blue lightning surging around the metal rod and some going astray and hitting the ground causing the sand to turn into glass and the air to smell like ozone. You could feel the Bolt calling to the air, the clouds above seemed to be surrounding it from the air, starting to turn a dark grey. The air getting colder and every time I looked at the man I felt the sudden urge to simultaneously kill the man and run in fear.

"Wh..Who are you?" I said with a shaky voice.

The man let out a deep and sinister laugh noticing the fear both in my voice and my shaking body," That hurts a little. You don't know me?" He said raising his hand to show himself off as he spun around. The man once again stood in front of us with an amused smile on his face. "Well let me give you a hint." He said lowering the sun glasses he was wearing to show that were his eyes should be was an intense fire.

Both me and Grover were now sweating and breathing like we just ran a marathon, and shaking even worse than we were in the beginning. I backed up into Grover, who was frozen in fear, causing me to stop in my tracks.

I looked at the man in front of me while standing next to Grover,"Y..your Ares." I said while my voice was layered in fear.

Ares once again looked back at us with a deviloush grin,"Gilty." Was all he said before once again pointing the Master Bolt at us."Now where was I."

Grover and I kept backing up as the God of War inched closer to use getting ready for the kill. As I felt something wet touch my foot I looked back to see the ocean, oh how I wish Percy was here right now. Even if Ares is one of the Olympian Gods, if he had to go against a son of Poseidon, while standing in front of the Pacific Ocean, Area would have a hard time beating him.

"Looks like there is no where to go now." Ares said with the same smile that was starting to get on my nerves.

But, before Ares could do anything else the ground started to shake. The water behind us was now moving in land, and the water that was just barely ankle deep was now up to our waste. We could see lamp post falling on to the streets and entire building shaking. And there was a giant crack down the street that was just past the beach, it was big enough to swallow up a Grover and I steady ourselves and got up we noticed that Ares had also been thrown down by the earthquake that just went off.

"What in Hades was that?" Ares said looking around at the damage that had been done.

Then he started to look around frantically like he was trying to figure out where he was, before staring off in the distance with glazed over eyes. He quickly grabbed the Master Bolt that was on the floor and pointed it at use ready to fire, but before he could charge up the fire a giant wave crashed into him. Which wasn't weird. since Grover and I were in front of Ares and right behind us was the beach.

Percy

After I relaxed in the water to heal and get my energy back. I looked around trying to find where I was. I didn't really have to look much because I could sense everything. I knew I was in the Pacific Ocean, about ten miles away from the L.A. shores, but that wasn't it. I could sense the school of fish swimming beneath me, the hammerheads and great whites that were another ten miles out to sea, and the crabs that were crawling across the corral.

So once I got over the amazement of being able to sense all of this, I control the waves and shot myself to the shores, and I was there in under a minute. Before I got all the way to the shore I had to stop not wanting to take the risk of mortals seeing me swimming at over fifty miles per hour. As I slowly swam to the shore I saw my friends, standing in front of a man, shivering and sweating.

The man was huge, he was between six foot five and seven foot, had a body builders built. He wore leather jeans, combat boots, a leather vest, lightning blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair with brown tips, like he tried to dye his hair but it didn't work. His body was also riddle with tattoos and scars. The main tattoos where one of a dog snarling on his throat. A boar on his right shoulder. The final one was a shield on his chest with two spears crossed behind it. The rest of the tattoos on his body were from his neck tp to torso, cover all of his back, chest, and arms. All over his body there seemed to be wars going on. There was the Trojan war on his left arm, that I could tell by Achilles leading the army in his iconic golden armor and a sword that was made by Hephaestus. The rest of his body was covered in various other wars. On his stomach and sides were covered in ancient wars. There were ones from the ancient Aztecs with spears and shields wearing their masks fighter other tribes. And on his other arm were the two World War, with tanks and planes all over his arm going over soldiers running around, some dieing or died, with bullets and artillery shells flying. The most interesting of all the tattoos was on his back. It was covered with giants, hellhounds, cyclopes, titans, and gods. And they were all fighting. It was a depiction of all the wars the gods had. The war between the Titans and Gods, Giants and Gods, and the many quarals they had.

As I was treading water there, scoping out the situation before I rushed in, the man lifted up a long metal rod that had lightning rapping and jolting off the rod, and pointed it at Grover and Annabeth. Before I could think of anything I thrusted my hands forward out of instinct trying to push them out of the way. But, instead of pushing them, I pushed all the water around me at the three on the beach. The giant ten foot wave went rushing towards them with me surfing on the top of it. Before the wave hit my friends I thought of the waves moving and protecting my friends. So the wave opened up in the middle and surrounded my friends in a dome to protect them. While the rest of the wave crashed into the man throwing him twenty feet from where he was, and I landed right were he was.

As the man stood up and stared right at me the sun glasses he was wearing were melted right off his face, showing his eye sockets that were blazing with fire, literal fire. As the man faced me power was radiating off him in short but strong burst of red flames. As he stared at me the air turned to a weird mixture of intense heat and coldness. The man started to calm down and stare off to his right. Once again Kronos was messing with another god, at least this time he was calming a god down instead of making one try and kill us. As the man stared off into nothing I backed up to my friends not taking my eyes off the now drooling man in front of me.

"So, you guys care to explain what's going on?" I asked my friends as they started to settle down behind me. "And who exactly is the biker dude?"

"I think he's Ares." said Annabeth calming down but still hiding behind me, peaking over my shoulder to look at Ares.

"Oh, he's definitely Ares, I can smell the stench of blood and death on him. And his emotions are raging with anger and urge for destruction and chaos." Grover said bleating and shaking but standing right beside me.

"So he's the one who stole the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness. Makes sense, he is the God of War. Ares would love for a war between the Gods. Just so he can add to those tattoos of his." I said inching closer to Ares.

"Percy what are you doing?" Annabeth said still clinging to me not wanting to leave my side.

"Perce, don't be stupid get back!" Grover said in a whisper like scream not wanting to cause Ares to stur from his dazed state.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Follow me. We have to get the Master Bolt and Helm and get out of he before he comes too." I said moving closer and closer while Grover and Annabeth go to the right of me trying to get around Ares. "Get off the beach if, I'll handle this." I whispered to Annabeth who was still clinging to my arm.

"No. I'm not leaving you again." She said squeezing my arm tighter.

"I'll be okay."

"No, you won't. This isn't like the Minotaur or Medusa. He's a god, and an Olympian at that. Your not strong enough to beat him."

"I never said I was, but if I'm going to get the Bolt and Helm, I can't do it with you and Grover right by me. Just in cause I have to make a quick get away. Plus, were on my terf, so I don't want you guys to become caladerale damage." I said giving them a reassuring smile.

And as I looked at Annabeth she blushed before turning and running off the beach, as Grover followed her with a giant grin on his face. I quickly shrugged it off and returned my attention to Ares. As I reached for the Master Bolt that was in Ares's hand his head jerked to the left and was now staring behind me, causing me to jump a little. As I moved forward again staring at Ares's face who was still jerking around and talking to himself, the only words I could make out were no you can't control me in a far away and dazed voice.

I took this opportunity to grab the Bolt and Helm and as I was running around Ares he stuck his arm out grabbing me with one hand and throwing me so I land on my back. As I tried to catch my breath from my spot on the ground Ares moved towards me and crouched down in front of me, he stared at me with an evil smirk before he spoke to me, but it wasn't his voice. It was the one from my nightmare. The voice was much deeper and older then Ares, you could feel the power difference just in his voice. His voice sounded raspy, but not in a why to make him sound weak or injured. It just amplephide his voices intensity and add a darkness to his voice, it made him sound, evil. But that wasn't the only difference, his eyes were also different. Ares usual fire that was were his eyes should be here now replaced with orbs of golden light. But this wasn't the normal brilliant and shining gold, the were a dirtier version, like you took a bar of gold hit it with a hammer over and over again, rolled it in dirt, then stored it in storage to collect dust then reshaped it to perfect spheres.

"So Perseus, how are you liking the life of a Demigod?" he said smirking in front of me.

"I'm guessing your Kronos." I said in a hoarse voice still trying to catch my breath.

"Indeed I am, and apologizes that our first face to face meeting is being done in my fowl grandsons' body," Kronos said looking at himself in disguised, " but soon I will have a more appealing attire." He said with an evil grin.

"And why exactly do you want the Master Bolt and Helm and Darkness?"

"Well they are two out of three of the most powerful weapons in the world, plus starting a war between the gods is a bonus."

"And why are you telling me all this?" I said now on one knee.

"Well, because you won't be able to tell anyone this when your dead." He said with the same evil grin.

"And what makes you think I'm going to die today?" I said gripping the Bolt and Helm that were now in the forms of a police baton and a ski-mask.

"Because, even if this body doesn't hold my powers, it is more than enough to kill you." He said materializing a long broad sword and swinging it at me.

Fortunately since I was already on one knee it was easy to roll under the swing. As I stood up from my roll I throw the baton and ski-mask as far in the ocean as I could, and as soon as I felt it touch the oceans surface I made the currents drag them down into the depths of the ocean. I turned around to face Ares whose evil grin was now replaced with an angry glare.

"You will regret doing that sea spawn." Kronos said scarily calm, fortunately I was able to hide my fear with ditermination, and returned the same angry glare.

"From where I'm standing, your the one who is going to regret coming here." I said grinning at him.

I focused on the waves behind me, the way they slowly lapped over each other and crashed onto the shore, how just down the beach the waves were ten times more fierce colliding with the rocks, smashing them into tiny pieces of sand. I raised my hands focusing on those fierce waves, and I poured everything into the waves,. I put all my emotions,control, and energy into the waves. And even though I couldn't see the water behind me, I could easily sense it, and not just that I could hear the water whipping around and lapping over each other, it was also created a giant shade that covered both me and Ares as he looked up at the wave in fear, the gold in his eyes now dying out and turning to his regular fiery eyes, and then once again downgrading to lightning blue eyes.

I thrusted my hands forward, launching the twenty foot wave at Ares. The waves didn't affect me at all, the ragging twenty foot wave that could have taken down a building, was now ragging past me like it was nothing but a gentle breeze. As the water went down, I now saw a docked out God just lying in front of me, and when the water went to return to the ocean it brought Ares with him. And now that I know he was now not a problem, I willed the water to bring me the Bolt and Helm. I walked up to the shore and picked up the two symbols of power, and as so as I picked them up they instantly dried themselves. I turned around to look at the beach and what I saw was a disaster. The entire beach was now mud and sludge from the giant wave that just hit it, and there was also glass littered all over the beach caused by Ares's intense power turning the sand into glass. I stared to leave the beach, and as I walked over the small hill leaving the sand and going onto the grass I surveyed the city of L.A. The city locked like a tornado just came by. There was garbage all over the streets, store and car windows were shattered, some cars were tipped over, while others were on the edge of huge cracks in the road, there were even a couple of buildings that were completely destroyed.

I was walking around the streets of L.A., both looking for my friends and trying to get away from the beach. Sounds wierd, a son of Poseidon, trying to get away from the ocean. Now back to the main subject. I was waling back to the motel that me and my friends were staying at, and on the way I saw more monsters then on the way to the Underworld. The was a group of cyclops in an ally that seemed to be watching and following me, along with harpies in the air and hellhounds in the streets, that I'm guessing mortals saw as regular strays.

As I walked up to the room I shared with my friends I heard rustling inside, so I took my sword out not knowing i fone of the monsters that were following me were inside. As I creeped through the room, that was only light by the small rays of light that seeped through the closed curtains, I saw nothing, and then all at once I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and everything went dark.

Grover

As me and Annabeth ran from the beach, not wanting to get into the crossfire of what was about to go on between Percy and Ares. As we were almost halfway to our motel were attacked, and then attacked again, and again, and again. We encountered more monsters going to some run down california motel, then when we were crossing the country, while trying to get into the Underworld. That's just logic for you. You travel almost three thousand miles and meet only the Furies and Medusa, but you got a couple blocks to a motel, and get jumped by half a dozen cyclops, and a dozen harpies.

When I entered the motel after Annabeth I slammed the door closed, not caring who or what was behind me, just wanting a little rest after running all the way here while fighting all those monsters. Both Annabeth and I sat there in the dark room, both panting and sweating, both occasionally holding our breaths every time we heard a sound outside. Minutes past of us doing this, still afraid a monster, or worse, Ares would come through the door. So after we did hear anything for a while, except for the regular California traffic, we began to relax. I had my back against the wall and thinking ever thing was okay now a slid down the wall and sat next to the door. Annabeth on the other hand stood there pacing still looking nervous and freaked out.

"Annabeth settle down, were okay now." I said trying to calm her down, because the way she paced always made me nervous a jittery.

"We might be fine, but the last time I saw Percy, he just escaped the Underworld and was about to go up against an Olympian." Annabeth said sounding a little aggravated at me for taking the situation so lightly.

I just laughed at her response and how antsy she was, getting a glare from Annabeth," I don't think we've been on the same quest," I said with a grin on my face, and now gaining a confused look from Annabeth," because what I was a son of Poseidon, one of the strongest Olympians, take down all three furies, tame Cerberus, escape the afterlife, while being left alone with Hades, who is also one of the strongest Olympians, and his servants. Then coming back to face a weaker, more argent, temperamental, less experienced, overgrown and whiny man child. Everyone knows that Ares is afraid of getting hurt, even if he is the god of war. Plus, Percy was standing in front of one of the largest bodies of water, so I think we should be more worried about Ares than Percy." I finished noticing that Annabeth was now grinning and holding in a laugh.

Once again the room was taken over by silence, but unlike last time, both of us were relaxed and confident of the situation. That is until we heard running outside, and both of us silently panicked, not knowing if it was going to be Percy, a monster, or Ares. So I stood up behind the door and grabbed a lamp that was on a stand next to me as Annabeth hid behind a bed with her dagger out.

As Annabeth and I waited there to see what would happen, we heard the running come to a slow stop in front of our door. As we sat there and watched the hand turn and the door get pushed into the room the only thing that could be heard was the squeak of the door hinges, along with my heart that was now non stop beating in my chest at how terrified I was. And as who or what ever walked into the room and closed the door, returning the room to darkness, I didn't see Annabeth come out from behind the bed and lowering her dagger, as I brought the lamp back and swung as hard as I could hitting the person in the back of his head, causing two loud noise, the sound of the lamp breaking and the person hitting the floor with a loud thud.

The room was now in over come with silence once again as Annabeth stared in shock at me as I smiled proudly, thinking I just knocked out Ares, before Annabeth's shocked looked turned into an enraged one.

"What was that!?" She asked throwing her hands into the air.

"I-I-I, was knocking out Ares." I nervously stuttered not knowing why she was angry.

"You idiot! Thats Percy, not Ares!" She said while pointing to the now unconscious twelve year old who laid on the floor. While I dumly stared at him.

"My bad." I said while nervously laughing and shrugging my shoulders.

Annabeth

After I scolded and slapped Grover a little for acting so recluse in knocking out Percy, I got a glass of water and poured it on Percy, institly healing the scar on his head and walking him up. After he was finally awake and able to comprehend us, I explained what happened giving Grover another glare, but Percy said it was fine and that we had to leave.

We got our stuff together and exchanged stories on what happened, Grover and I giving our story first. And at the end of the story Percy asked us if we were fine, or if we were injured, being his usually caring self. After we assured him we were fine Percy then told us what happened to him, as I stared at him in awe, and Grover smiled off in the distance with a goofy and proud looking smile on his face, like its what he expected from him. As I correlated the to stories I learned that the huge earthquake was caused by Percy and not Hades as I expected earlier. At as I spoke Grover now shared the same expression of awe I had earlier as I smirked at his now amazed looking face, getting a glare from him as he noticed.

As we got to the train station the boys went to sit down and rest as I got tickets using the money I found lying on the grounds of L.A., caused by Percy's earthquake. As soon as we boarded Percy went to a seat and fell asleep. It took us two days to get to New York City, and five trains. And at each station we stopped at there was a one to three hour wait before the next train left. So each time we waited we were attacked. The first time we were attacked was when we were walking back to the train station after getting food, by a group of fulling grown cyclops, each one being around eight feet tall, seeing as there was six of them and three, very tired pre-teens, being us, we had to run. The leader of the group was the first to attack us, as he evilly grinned and reached out grab Percy but was meet by his brilliantly designed sword, Riptide. As the cyclops reached down to grab Percy, he quickly took out his sword and swung it, cut his hand off, and as he was stumbling away Percy ran to the side of him and swatted at his thigh causing him to fall on two of the more smaller ones. So as the three of use ran from the now angered cyclops's, with Grover in the front since he always ran faster when he was afraid or was going towards food, plus having goat legs really help's. And me following behind him as Percy was behind us both, since he distracted the cyclops's so we could get a head start. As we ran for our lives Percy was behind me yelling 'go, go, go' and 'faster, faster,' as he didn't want to pass me and leave me in the back. But we couldn't out run them, except for Grover, seeing as we were still a little tired and sore, so Percy stopped causing all of us to stop, since nether me or Grover was going to let Percy fight a group of monsters off by himself again. But, Percy didn't take his sword, dagger, or throwing knives out, he just simply raised his leg and stomped on the ground, causing a small tremor that made the cyclops's to stumble and fall, but fortunately since me and Grover were behind Percy it didn't affect us. When he turned around to be greeted by us staring at him in awe for the hundredth time this quest, he motioned for us to run while yelling 'run'.

The other times we stopped were less dangerous then the first, as it was only a couple of harpies, hellhounds, cyclops's, or acationaly empousa's. So After two days of sleeping in train carts, and station seats, while also fighting off monster, we all finally made it to NYC. None of us were particularly happy about being here though. And there were two reasons for that. The first and most obvious reason being, the Gods. Even though they were on our side and all, they were very angry and impatient beings. And Percy has already managed to anger Zeus, Hades, and Ares. The second reason of us not wanting to be here is, the entire trip here we were attacked by monsters, and that was while going through the country, but now that we were in one of America's largest cities, with millions of people here. Meaning more food for monsters, more places to hide, and less of a chance at being noticed.

As the three of us walked the streets of New York City we all looked died inside. We kept getting strange looks from people, mainly pity from people thinking we were homeless with our dirty and tattered close, along with all of us looking extremely tired and hungry. As we entered the Empire State building and went to the man at the front desk Percy walked up to the man and said we were trying to get to Olympus. At those words the man barely moved as he looked at his playboy magazine and lazily replied,'that's nice,' at being shrugged off and ignored the very tired and aggravated Percy stomped on the floor shaking the entire building causing the man to fall out of his chair and drop his magazine. As he got back up he peeked his head over the counter looking terrified and Percy repeated himself very slowly and quietly that it sounded scary,' Were trying to get to Olympus.' As soon as Percy was done speaking the man held out a key with a shaky hand. Percy took it gave the man a smile and said thank you with a small nod, and the man, that was still shaking behind the counter, furiously shook his head terrified for his life. He probably thought Percy was some minor god that like to stay in a young form.

We all piled into the elevator after waiting for an empty on. And as we all stood there with Percy holding the key in front of him examining it he looked up at Grover and I.

"So you guys ready?" Percy asked with a reassuring smile.

"As I'll ever be." Grover said taking a deep breath while I simple nodded trying to keep my emotions in check.

Percy looked forward at the key hold that was just above the elevators buttons and with the same smile he had as we entered the Underworld he put the key in and said,"Well, let's go meet the folks." He said casually gaining a smile from me and Grover.

Well here's the next chapter. I hope everyone enjoys it. Please review, follow, favorite, and all that other good stuff. Until next time, see ya.
