Hello Everyone, and Welcome back.
Mild swearing.
Again, normal lines are in follow so,
I do not own Percy Jackson.
Now, without further ado.
Chaos P.O.V
"He was going to..." stuttered out the stupid blond.
"Of course he was going to! He was to do it on the beach that day you stupid, cheating, lying daughter of a –"
"Father what is going on?" Interrupted my son Luke.
Sound familiar? Well you probably know him as Luke Castellan, son of May Castellan and Hermes. Not anymore, I officially adopted him when he sacrificed himself to destroy Kronos.
Zoe followed him in. I should explain. Zoe was the Immortal Lieutenant of Artemis for over 2000 years, however she died in a prophecy that predicted her death. Either way, she went to stop Atlas from being free.
True heroism, and they displayed it without a second thought for their own safety.
"Father what happened? Did something go wrong?" Questioned Zoe.
"Zoe, Luke?" I began "In our society, we have two main generals, or elite warriors yes?" I questioned a two yeses answered me.
"The third is the Assassin, who you both command, and he or she answers to no one. The Assassin is forever loyal to you, and he or she is much stronger than the two fighters yes? Only a little weaker than me, but can give me a run for my money." I again questioned and once again a chorus of yeses were heard.
Zoe started to realize where it was going, she gasped but otherwise stayed quiet.
"The Assassin who was to be the strongest of all, and was promised to you both..."I started but faltered mid sentence as tears started to threaten to spill from my eyes. "just died" I chocked out.
The aura of angriness emitted from the two was overwhelming. "Who was the Assassin Father?" Luke asked the unasked question. The anger flashing within his aura.
"It was a He. You both know him. He was the one I was watching this entire time." I told them both. Zoe adopted a thinking face and began to mutter. "Phoebe is alive, I saw her this morning. Reyna is alive, Hylla is alive ..." she faltered and realized who it was "NO! Father tell me he didn't.." "WHO? WHO IS IT ZOE?"
"Perseus." She answered for me. "Not just any Perseus, Perseus Achilles Jackson. Luke, PERCY DIED!" Luke looked star struck. "No way. He was to be out Assassin? Percy would annihilate the enemy army before we got there! Cool! Where is he?" "He died you dimwit" Zoe answered to the overexcited son of Hermes. Chaos.
He looked crest fallen. I loved my children and their relation was always so amusing. I would have adopted him, shaped him to be the perfect warrior. I still will, but now more work will be required, but hopefully Hades would not mind the few extra forms to confirm Perseus's release from the underworld. He always was the most compliant along with Hestia.
"Father, we can go talk to Uncle Hades, he has already seen us and would not mind if we call in a favour to take Percy back from the Underworld. Also, who killed Percy?" Luke breathlessly finished.
The throne room that always shined and was adorned in the most exotic gems, most beautiful weapons and armour, and the greatest marble. The purest material was used in my throne room, but not it looked dull, and all I wanted to do was destroy the Gods, and the throne room mirrored my emotion.
It looked black and dull, but had hints of rubies gleaming out in read like blood.
But I reminded myself that their rule was preferable to the other options, for with them Earth flourished, though was still lacking behind some of my newer planets, that I myself monitor.
"Here is what we will do" I was suddenly broken out of my thoughts as Zoe finally decided upon a plan. "I will take dimwit" She made a fake cough "Brother here, and we will visit Uncle Hades to take Percy with us."
In response Luke just danced with excitement chanting about how excited he was to see what Percy would think of his role.
"Father, you will go and beat" again she fake coughed "I mean talk some sense into the idiots upon Olympus. Alright?" If you are curious as to why Zoe talks in modern English, it is because I taught her how to, following her leave from the Sky.
"Very well my daughter, please join me with Percy when you are finished. Also get Hades and Artemis. I know Hestia is always at the hearth and Apollo, well he will be in his temple, saying how awesome he is.
Luke and Zoe walked out of the Throne room, and flashed out to the Underworld. I put on my armour, took my weapons, and prepared to give on metric amount of a talking.
Hephaestus P.O.V.
I looked over to where the poor lad used to be. Normally I never would shed a tear about the death of a Sea Spawn, but this was Perseus. The one who saved us twice, killed by the people he saved.
I looked over to Hermes and my wife and saw they weren't doing much better. Ares and Athena stood like to idiots grinning to each other about the death of the one who humiliated both.
Zeus looked giddy with joy at the death of his rival's son, and Poseidon was too busy cooing at David to notice anything.
I decided to look into who was watching the broadcast. Gee if I knew it would result in his death I would not have broadcasted it. Yet still I had to vote for his death, I would not risk father's wrath upon me and my children.
I looked into the void and sensed a presence that chilled me to my bone. It too sensed me for he told me that it was alright and I would not have hell to pay. (A.N.: They quit saying Hades once Hades got on the Council.)
I relaxed, though he told me not to tell anyone that HE is coming. Of course I agreed quickly.
"Best decision we have ever made!" Proclaimed Ares proudly. "Well considering that he did nothing but betray us, then we are AWESOME! Right Apollo?" Dionysus joined Ares.
"Yah. Awesome. As in how awesome it is to kill our SAVIOUR!" Apollo retorted angrily and flashed out. A second later, he and Artemis flashed in looking confused.
"I can swear I just flashed off of this disgusting place." Apollo looked around and tried to flash off but failed. HE was coming and I knew.
HE would not be pleased at the least.
P.O.V of Zoe
I flashed in to the underworld with Luke. "Luke! Where do you think Percy is?" I questioned him
"Considering Hades has the muscle that most Olympians lack, a brain, probably in Elysium or the Isles of the Blest." Luke stated
We began to head to Elysium. Hades must have sensed our presence here for he soon teleported. "Hello Luke, Zoe." Hades began "What is it you need?"
"We are searching for Perseus, Perseus Jackson. Father said he was promised to be our Assassin." I looked Hades dead in the eye "Tell me where he is. We need to get him with us and to Olympus before Father destroys the over prided idiots up there. All beside Apollo, Artemis and Hestia are in mortal danger." I warned
Hades looked at us, and understanding the seriousness of it all, quickly began to scroll through his I Pad to see where Percy was.
"Let's see, Elysium? No, the Isles, no. Hmm, maybe he is still waiting, but no. I would have known. Also I ordered Charon to take him to Elysium or the Isles." Hades muttered, then turned to us. "Oddly enough, I see the record of where he was, then as he was entering Elysium, he vanishes."
Odd. That sort of stuff should not happen. "Hades, did you sense any odd presence?" I questioned. "No" he started, "Nothing out of the usual."
I turned to Luke "Luke, dark entity that can hide form Hades..." I suddenly stopped realizing who it was.
P.O.V. of Percy
"So who are you?" I questioned the dark thing.
"You will soon find out, young hero" it responded.
Soon it created a portal that led to an extravagant throne room.
The jewels were all amazing, but dull. Only the Rubies could be seen, and the room had a dark lingering, like something horrible happened or was to happen. "Where is he!" the dark thing questioned nobody and yet everyone.
My ADHD brain going into overload I began to spurt questions "Who are you? What are you? Where are we? Why are we here? Who are you searching for? What is happenin –" I was rudely interrupted by the sound of lighting crackle in the sky, and two beings came in.
Shivers started to run through my body, remembering the lighting, and the pain. My body locked up, my brain retreating within, and I started to hunch over.
I quickly looked at the pair as my vision began to go black. The spots in the corners of my eyes began to magnify. I panicked and immediately the water fountains placed around the four corners of the room erupted.
The water headed toward me with the greatest possible speed and I was enveloped into a vortex filled with water.
I started to will the water to my will.
"Tartarus what are you doing here, with Perseus?" The girl asked.
"Zoe, no time to question our brother, Percy is a hurricane!" The boy yelled out to the girl
Tartarus.
That name spun in my mind.
The pit.
That torturous pit, and the deity behind it.
Evil.
The word fluttered into my brain as if automatic. Of course he was evil.
I began to move over to Tartarus, to vanquish him and I hoped with him gone, the pit would collapse.
P.O.V. of Luke
Crap.
Percy was not supposed to get that introduction to our world. Tartarus, the slimy idiot fetched him prematurely, thus now we have this vortex of water in our throne room
"Zoe, knock him out!" I yelled at her "I will slow him down, Tartarus just ... get out of here. We'll talk later!"
True to my word, Zoe snuck up behind Perseus who was rapidly tiring but energized due to the water.
Summoning a spell, she effectively knocked him out for several hours.
"Done" she told me
If only we had gotten him and managed to sneak him to the throne room, so that he could see the weapons and armour that were to be his, not to panic and attack.
"What do you suppose we do now" I questioned her, not really sure what to do. I mean we can't go to Olympus with Percy asleep.
"Just ... pick him up, then you head down to Hades' domain and I'll go and take Artemis to Olympus with me." She ordered.
"How should I pick him up, I mean..." I trailed off not exactly too sure on how to continue the sentence either.
"Just toss him over your shoulder if it is that much of a bother to you." She responded. I picked him up and put him over my shoulder, and immediately, he let out a groan of pain.
I readjusted him so that I ended up carrying him bridal style
"Well there ya go! Problem solved. Now head to Hades, and get to Father before he annihilates the Olympians "Zoe congratulated me, before heading off to the Hunter's camp.
I myself flashed down to the Underworld and let Hades know what happened. He summoned two forms, filled them out quickly and said that Perseus was back to the world of the living.
Then both of us teleported to Olympus. The only sign that let us know that Percy was alive, was the peaceful rise and fall of his chest as he curled up closer to my chest.
On Olympus, it was all peaceful. Apparently Father had not wished to reveal himself just yet, however when I searched for the Olympians presence I could feel Hephaestus, Hermes and Aphrodite missing.
I went to the mind link Father and I have. "Father" I thought out to him "Why are three Olympians missing, everyone else is here."
"I am talking to them as to why they did not save Perseus. The slimy bastard called Zeus, apparently he threatened each of them and they all feared for their children. I looked over their memories and it is true." Father responded.
"Alright, I have Percy with me, and we will wait for you outside the throne room. I also have Hades here" Suddenly a presence interrupted me "Father? Luke? Where are you both?"
We responded to her question quickly and she teleported over to me. "So, he is still sleeping?" She rhetorically asked.
"No Einstein, he is currently awake. Of course he is sleeping!" I responded.
Percy shifted a bit and let out a groan of pain and suddenly awoke.
He gasped for air, and searching his dreams quickly, I saw he dreamed of his death.
"Gahh. Where am I? Who are you..." He paused a moment "Luke?" he asked tentatively
"Hah! Told you he would recognize me first!" I gloated to my sister. "When did you?" She asked
"Zoe?" He began, "But you are ... dead. Aren't you, so are you Luke, and I should be too. What is going on here?" He asked.
"No time to explain but you were brought back from the dead. I promise we will go over this in detail but for now you are still a demigod." I quickly explained "Not our Assassin" I added glumly.
"Yet!" A sing song voice off to my left called, turning around we saw Father along with three afore mentioned gods. They were all grinning from ear to ear.
"Now, I will introduce myself first, then Zoe, you Hermes, Hephaestus, Artemis –wherever she is – Hades and Aphrodite will come in, and then Luke you and Percy will come in!" Chaos planned out loud. Artemis flashed in and looked at Percy.
Artemis just then flashed in. "Right, what are we doing?" she asked, prompting father to once again repeat everything.
When he was finished we all agreed.
Father decided that Hermes was to call a meeting while all the Olympians were partying. It worked, but Hermes teleported off, saying he had to get a special guest.
Foolishly, the Olympians brought in everyone with them. Hordes of demigods, satyrs and gods were packed in the throne room.
Chaos P.O.V.
I decided to create a huge event out of this.
All of the people there were looking at each other curiously, and my anger peaked when I saw the people who betrayed Perseus, and the demigod that was the cause of this betrayal. David.
I somehow managed to stop myself from destroying their pathetic existences, and instead I summoned in a dark mist.
The gods began to panic, and Zeus got out his oversized toy.
"Reveal yourself! We have the greatest demigod, David here. As well we have most of the Olympians amassed. You are no match for us! We beat Gaea!" He gloated.
"Hmmmm" I hummed to myself, deep in thought "It is true you defeated my daughter, but David is not the greatest hero. No, indeed not"
At this point the 5 Olympians we had with us came in. "You are all fools." They said in perfect synchronization. Artemis continued "How dare you kill him? How dare you foolish idiots replace Percy Jackson with a fucking puppet!"
"My daughter come here, all of you! You are Olympians and I am your king! I order you to come here!" Zeus yelled out.
I once again began "You are all very stupid. Such stupidity I did not expect from the mighty Olympians and the Goddess of Wisdom"
"WHO ARE YOU" Poseidon bellowed out, at this point getting his trident and pointing it at me.
"Me?" I questioned. "I am the maker, the First Primordial and a few thousand other titles, but my name?" I stopped to gather power, before releasing it in a burst, as proof I am me.
"Chaos" I stated simply
The shock was immediate. Zoe and Luke stepped up but had hoods that covered their face. "How dare you?" Zoe questioned but was interrupted by Luke
"You are all such retards. You know this could have been all avoided if you just didn't jump on the bandwagon for the next son of the three. But no, you just had to go and believe David and all of his schemes" Luke said simply, gathering all of the attention of the Olympians.
The five Olympians with us went to their thrones.
"Why you little pest! I should strike you down where you stand for such words! David is the best son I have ever had, and the best hero Olympus has had!" boasted Poseidon.
I decided to get stuck in now. "My son, let me." I told Luke,
Luke looked at me, then in silent agreement backed off. "You, Poseidon, of all present here should by now know best who the Greatest hero of Olympus is. One hint, his name starts with P, and he was just executed."
At that, everyone assembled started to protest, saying how Percy did this, and Percy did that.
"Do not believe me?" I questioned, being met with several responses ranging from 'Duh' to "Uhmmmm..."
"Very well." I made up my mind then. "Let me take you all to a journey. This journey is mandatory. The journey will hopefully make you all realize your mistake, afterwards? I will take you on another journey. But first! The first journey?" I asked all, and everyone looked at me curiously. I will end the journey at his death was my thought.
"The life of Perseus Jackson"
Author's Note: Well then, a little cliffy. Sorry this one came in 3 days after scheduling, the theater company I am with is doing shows all week long this week, and that will be fun. The amount of rehearsals and time spent into this production is a lot, but it is well worth it.
Also! Tell me what you think about the pairing between Zoe, Luke and Percy. I fell like they are all friends, and also the personalities are so different, and yet they balance each other out. Took me some time to think on this, but in the end I am going with this one.
As well, the involvement of Tartarus in the Throne Room will impact the events of the story greatly, for guess who will take the blame, but ahh. I am already revealing too much!
Too all the people that left reviews, thank you very much. I have read them all, and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
In response to all people that want me to update? THIS IS THE UPDATE! HUZZAH!
