Hey guys! How's it going? *crickets* Anyways, thanks for all the reviews last chapter! The concert this weekend was great. Thanks for the well-wishes! I was totally freaking out about it before hand (cause I mean, this is All State. The best of the best. I didn't want to be that person that screws everyone over) but it went pretty well! :) Also, I'm pretty sure this story is winding down. If everything (in this story and in my life) goes pretty much as planned, then this should be done pretty soon. There's gonna be the war and then an epilogue thing probably. And then the end. With that in mind, please vote on my poll if you haven't already! I'm going to write a new story, so go vote in the poll to let me know what you think I should right! I also accept PMs and reviews on any of my stories! If someone wants to know what the options are (you can't see them, etc) or if you want to know a brief summary behind one of the ideas, shoot me a message! I usually get back within 24 hours. Poll is on my profile. If you need directions there (even if you're on a phone/iPod or something), again send me a PM and I will direct you there. Anyways, I own nothing but please enjoy this long awaited chapter! :)

PS: I repeat, I do NOT write smut. Sorry for disappointing some people. You're free to use these characters/places/situations to write your own. You can let me know if you do so I can share the information with every body that keeps asking me.

Percy's POV

"See you back here in forty-five minutes!"

Grabbing Zoë's hand, I rushed away.

Forty-five minutes passed quickly. Most of the minutes weren't spent getting armor on. In fact, after forty minutes had passed, Zoë grabbed my arm and kindly reminded (read: forcefully demanded) me to put on my armor and help her with hers. After the five minute scramble though, we were miraculously suited up and ready to go.

Luke winked at me when we met up with everyone at the heart of the ship. "Took you guys long enough! We were worried about what was keeping you." He smirked as he said it. Zoë's face matched a fire truck in color, and I'm sure mine did too.

"Shut up, Luke," I managed. Then I looked over his smirking face and slightly crooked armor. Bianca's wasn't perfect either, and I know from past experience that she is a perfectionist with her armor. "Looks like you were busy too."

I raised an eyebrow at my best friend and then glanced over at Bianca, nodding. To my joy, both of their faces turned tomato red, just as mine and Zoë's had.

Before things could escalate further, Chaos interrupted. "Alright everyone, lets get to the throne room. Join hands!"

We all held hands, Calypso and Luke connecting everyone else to Chaos. Once we were ready, we disappeared in a Flash of light onto to reappear in the Olympian throne room. After everyone had completely made the journey, we all separated to spread our traps.

Zoë and I walked towards Poseidon's throne. "This place brings back old memories," I said wistfully, looking around. "I was here so many times. Working for the Olympians, working with them, being accused by them, threatening them, and working against them. Every single time, though, they've threatened to kill me or someone I care about."

The beautiful huntress next to me gripped my hand. "That won't happen this time. I won't let them even think about it. Killing my boyfriend? No way in Hell would they get away with that."

I smiled at my strong-willed girlfriend. "And I would rather go back to Tartarus than let them do anything to you."

Zoë laughed. "You better! But don't worry, they won't get me. Not again."

"They better not. There'll be hell to pay if one of them even so much as scratches you."

Zoë leaned in to kiss me quickly. She pulled away, about to turn around and set more traps, but I grabbed her waist and pulled her back into me. "We're about to head into a war," I told her. "We deserve this."

Someone cleared their throat behind us, interrupting our little make-out session. I turned the stink eye on whoever had bothered us.

Calypso was smirking at the two of us, her arms crossed and her right eyebrow raised. "It's almost time for the Olympians to arrive. You should probably find your hiding spot and get in position before they show up. Once you're situated, you can always continue trying to eat each other's face." She walked away before we could protest or try to get our faces to mimic the color of a baboon's buttock.

After a moment, we found a safe place behind Artemis's throne, where we totally didn't continue to make out. (I'll let you decide on that last part of the sentence: true or false?) It wouldn't be smart to make out with an ex-huntress behind her lady's throne. But then again, who said I was smart?

A few minutes later, the gods all teleported in. First it was Apollo, then Demeter, then everyone else all at once. Zeus stood slightly behind his brother, Poseidon, trying not to show that he is the coward everyone believes (and knows) him to be.

"Chaos!" He thundered (pun intended, haha), quivering behind the God of the sea as my adoptive father appeared before them.

"Olympians," he greeted coldly, before raising an eyebrow. "Do you call me to surrender?"

Zeus scoffed, trying to regain his meager amount of courage now that all his allies were staring at him. "Surrender? Never!"

"Then why call me? I am not fighting in this battle." The other gods seemed to realize this too, judging by the dirty looks they sent the lightning god.

"To... So you can summon your warriors, and we can do battle!" He claimed, smirking at the quick comeback he thought up on the spot.

Chaos accepted the excuse. "Very well." Snapping his fingers, he made it seem like we had all appeared in that instant. White glows around each of our bodies made it appear that we had just been flashed in if you hadn't noticed us standing in the shadows.

With Uncle Hades and Aunt Hestia safe in the Underworld, out of the conflict, there was no worry about them seeing us early.

My five friends and I stepped out from the darkness, approaching the Olympians. Without planning it, we formed a line with Zoë and I in the center. Bianca and Luke were on my right, while Calypso ans Nico were on Zoë's left.

"Are you ready to do battle?" Athena asked, eyeing us suspiciously.

I smirked back at her from beneath my hood. "Question is, are you ready to die?" With that cheerful question posed, I signaled my team silently. As one, we summoned our weapons and charged the gods.
