I do not own this series
P.O.V of Percy
Well, this was certainly interesting.
Being killed by the people you save twice,
Being abducted by Tartarus, the deity of the pit, from the underworld
Becoming a typhoon in some fancy throne room,
Being knocked out,
Learning that Zoe and Luke were still alive,
And now looking at all the people that betrayed me in the eye in the throne room of the Gods, however none could recognize me.
I have to say, I took some pleasure in that last one.
Looking at their eyes, that radiated only terror and fear, and yet they tried to be so brave, yet it was all so futile and pointless.
Whoever the deity in front of me was, he was someone of great power and importance.
If ANYONE can keep Luke in control, they deserve respect.
I listened to see if the deity would identify himself and he did.
"Chaos" he had said.
Chaos, my brain pondered who was Chaos in Greek Myth?
Let's see, in the creation myth at first there was only . . . my thoughts trailed on,
Chaos.
The deity in front of me was the maker of the universes!
But what does he want to do with me, and why did Zoe talk about some assassin?
Nothing made sense and as i pondered all of this, I heard the words "The Life of Perseus" came out from Chaos's mouth.
Immediately the whole room lit up, and a TV around 100 or so inches appeared.
I looked at it, and it began by showing my . . . "mom?" I whispered half heartedly.
The woman on the screen did not notice me, and no one else heard me.
She held the baby close to her and murmured "Percy, my little boy. You will do great things, and make me so proud of you, my son"
The TV, then switched on to another point in my life, my first beating from Gabe.
I can still remember how drunk he was, how he smelled like beer, and that knife that would cause me so much pain.
He began by cutting me, and ended by beating me into unconsciousness several times.
By now the Olympians had their hands to their mouths, and even the tough ones (Zeus, Hephaestus) looked sick. But I knew that there was more to come, a lot more.
Still convinced that I was a traitor, Zeus rumbled "He deserved that, I hope that mortal was rewarded greatly for the service he did to us by beating that traitor!"
"SILENCE you fool!" Chaos shouted and blasted Zeus out of his throne.
The TV however continued speeding through my years and all of the beatings. Chaos apparently summoned a counter at the top to count how many times Gabe beat me, so he could return the favour.
The TV finally stopped at my 12th year. The same year that I was accused of stealing the Master Bolt.
It showed all of my quest, my battle with Medusa, with the Chimera, my visit to the Underworld, my battle with Ares and my returning of the Bolt.
David looked around, noticing that by now he was losing little bits of support, so to boost his ego he yelled out at Chaos "HA! I did so much more than that little loser!" to which he was met with a backhand courtesy of Zoe.
"Before I destroy you and wipe out your existence forever, I think you should know what the true hero of Olympus did" she hissed out at David.
By this point, Zeus returned to his throne and watched on silence, in fear of the power Chaos wielded.
The TV continued with my life, through the second quest, the third, the fourth, the fifth, showing my battles with various legendary monsters and various gods and titans. It showed me saving Artemis, Giving the knife to Luke, Daedalus sacrificing himself, our battle with Polyphemus, our escape from the Sea of Monsters.
Everyone was left in shock "Percy" Annabeth looked on.
Yet the TV did not stop, it went on showing Hera kidnapping me, it showed my quest to free Thanatos, it showed our journey to Rome, me battling with Polybotes, Otis, Ephialtes, it showed all of my achievements. And last but certainly not least, it showed my battle with Gaea.
When Gaea was defeated Zeus once again took the opportunity to give Chaos a reason to beat him again.
"He was too powerful! He was a threat to Olympus!" Zeus yelled out, and Chaos once again slammed him with his power.
"He was undyingly loyal to you all, you idiot!" Chaos roared out.
My life moved on. I remembered this part clearly. The screen showed Athena flashing in after all of our happy moments with Annabeth and giving me the quests.
It then showed me over the next 1 ½ years, doing these quests, being with the Amazons, Hunters and finally engaging and defeating Athena in one on one combat.
"He spoke the truth" Annabeth whispered. "Holy Hera, what have I done?"
Then David got in on the screen, it showed only my perspective, thus everyone found out that I had in fact not sabotaged them. Everyone also got to experience my pain, and all my thoughts.
The screen sped on and finally in reached my last day alive, my Birthday.
It showed the ceremony as the way I saw it, then it showed me being beaten up by Athena and Ares, being falsely accused and finally, being executed.
All of Olympus shook as Luke started to lose control of his power in anger.
Zoe go out some chain, cuffed it on his arms, and immediately the power outtake was gone.
"Power limiter, right now he has his power reduced so as to not make anyone here fade" Chaos told me. "Ah here we go,"
The screen showed my death, and then it cut out.
"Now, you know what happened to Perseus do you not." Chaos inquired
Silence met his question. Everyone stared at shock at the screen.
"He was innocent" Poseidon managed out, choking on a sob "My baby boy was innocent and I basically killed him"
"Yes Poseidon. Now, shall we see what your 'best son' and 'your strongest son' has achieved?" Chaos walked up to David "You and I both know, youngling. IT is not that much at all."
The screen now moved on to a yacht. It showed a mother clad in jewelry and chains looking at her son.
"You will be powerful David" She told him "I will make sure of it!"
It showed David living in the lap of luxury, having a Mansion, several cars, couple of billion dollars. All in all it was a life I never wanted.
At 16 it showed David getting his driver license and immediately crashing his first car.
At 17 it showed David getting drunk with his friends.
All the while he was a Demigod. But no monster attacked, nothing ever happened to him, why?
The blue aura probably has something to do with it. A small blue tint would always go after him. It must have special abilities to ward monsters away.
Finally it showed David trying to kill me, sabotaging me, and accusing me of all my 'crimes'. Then the screen ended by showing David laughing after Zeus killed me, and partying, celebrating my death.
It finally showed one last picture, this picture had both David and Annabeth in it. They were kissing like there was no tomorrow, and it was on the sand, and it had one person behind them. Me.
Annabeth started to shake "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Please! Percy! Come back." She burst into tears. "Percy I'm sorry, please come back." She screamed into the sky "I did not mean it please!"
"Percy is dead now." Zoe stated simply.
With that she flashed off, taking Luke with her who still had the chains on, so as to not make Olympus into confetti of marble.
Chaos and I were the only ones left.
"You see now what you have done?" Chaos inquired "You have killed the only person that will have saved you."
"What do you mean saved us?" Zeus hollered out "Us gods did all the work in both wars! The Demigods did nothing!"
"Very well" Chaos told him "Think what you will. I am merely stating the facts. Soon you will be attacked by a force that you cannot stop without Percy."
With that, Chaos teleported himself and me off of Olympus.
3rd P.O.V.
"My, my. This creation is indeed not doing too well. I fear for us all" Chaos muttered to himself as he got back in the throne room.
"Father, when shall we explain what exactly is going on to Percy, although he is taking it quite well" Zoe questioned Chaos
"Very well, Percy, it is time you knew what is happening here, for surely knowing my children they have not stopped bombarding with very weird phrases to you. Assassin probably being the most prominent one." Chaos remarked to Percy
Chaos snapped his fingers, and Zoe, Luke and himself were all transported to their thrones. He then summoned an orb, and began to speak
"I shall explain to you Perseus. You see, there is a new threat on the horizon. This new threat, is my brother, Order" Chaos began to speak, the orb filled with mist and produced a picture that looked like a 40 year old man, who was in bright blue robes, as opposed to the star black robes that Chaos was wearing.
"When we began, nothing could separate us. Our relations could never sour, and nothing could be done to make us enemies. But as I began to create the Primordials, Universes and Galaxies, we slowly but surely began to split." The orb now displayed the creation of everything
"Before long, I created the planet you are standing on right now, Chaos." Chaos was suddenly interrupted by Luke sniggering "Very original" to which everyone laughed.
Undisturbed by the interruption, Chaos continued "When I made this planet I also created an army, to help defend against evils. By this point, yes, they were created but no, I did not create Evil. Order did, out of jealousy for my creations." The orb displayed the planet, and Order making evil out of good.
"In the army, it was divided into two. The two battalions had only the worthiest, and most skilled within them, and were lead by two Commanders. The two Commanders also had one very large advantage, an Assassin, who would only follow their orders." Chaos continued and the orb showed three beings, standing side by side, with one in the center.
"I already had a group like that," Chaos told them "They were very powerful, and skilled."
"What happened to them" Percy questioned, and at this point Zoe and Luke saddened, having already heard the story
"They died." Chaos stated very simply, "It was Order that killed them. Their names were Sabrina, Maximillion, and Charles. At the time I had not heard anything from Order in a very long time, though the last time I had heard from him I saw the steady change in him"
"Charles and Sabrina were the Commanders, and thus when they got reports of a being with a large armed force along the frontier, they sent Maximillion, their Assassin to investigate." Chaos recalled
"Maximillion luckily returned, injured but with information. He told Sabrina and Charles that Order was indeed coming back." At this point the orb began to show everything that Chaos told him.
"Sabrina and Charles deployed their battalions along the frontier, so that they could defend it easier. At that time the first battle happened, where Order won, and the thus the line of defence was move back." The orb showed a bloody conflict, with many bodies left littering the gorund.
"Order began to personally hunt the three down, and after another few battles with him, they were exhausted and were almost dead." A single tear threatened to spill from Chaos's eye.
"it was at this point that they told me what was happening, for they knew I was busy with my creation, expanding it and all that. How I regret doing that now" The tear spilled and was immediately replaced by another.
"In the message they gave me, they told that they would be dead by the time I had read it. The message itself went over the fact that Order had risen and was along the frontier with his armies ready to march on this planet." Chaos looked at Percy in the eye, to make sure he still held his attention, for Chaos knew what ADHD does to your attention span.
"Their solution was the blank spell. The spell was literally just that, blank. It would erase the place they cast it on permanently. Or at least until I got around to remaking it. The spell affected everything, and wiped out everything, unless someone had a counter spell." Chaos looked crestfallen at this point
"Maximillion, Sabrina and Charles thought of using this spell, and they decided to wipe all of Order's armada out, unfortunately the amount of energy and power needed to produce that strong of a spell over that large of an area, plus the fact they did not have my full blessing, and were exhausted was not good for them" Chaos recalled, and the amount of tears trailing his face began to pile up.
"They used too much power and well, burned up. Just like that, my most valued creations, just gone" He choked on a sob "The power they spent, was too much, and it ended their existence." He let that sink in
"On the bright side at least they did manage to slow the advance of Chaos by about 2000 years give or take" Luke interjected trying to put a positive spin to the story, but got a whack over the head, courtesy of Zoe. "This is no time to try to make jokes" She chastised Luke.
"Now, Order is returning" Chaos told them all, "And you three have proven to be the most worthiest of all heroes, incidentally all hailing from the same planet, and all within each other's lifetimes." Chaos looked proud.
"Zoe and Luke have already received my full blessing, plus their armour and weapons, so now only you are left, Percy." Chaos stepped off his throne, and with him Luke and Zoe followed, Percy got up as well, and started to follow Chaos, as Chaos began going to the doors of the Throne Room.
Chaos stopped midway through the doors, muttered something under his breath and a panel slid off the side of the throne room.
Everyone followed Chaos in, and Percy gasped suddenly "What is this place" he asked, awestruck.
"This is our armoury" Chaos explained "It houses every weapon ever made. Now follow me Percy, I have already selected your weapons. Luke, Zoe, follow if you want or just wander around, and maybe pick a new weapon for yourselves?"
Percy P.O.V.
The room was enormous, and filled with every imaginable weapon. There were swords, staffs, bows and arrows, and a variety of different weapons I had never seen, let alone know the names of.
"Now Perseus, while those two are away hunting for some new weapon or other, I can show you the ones I have selected for you." He told me
Not able to resist my curiosity I asked "What should I call you?" The response I got was not what I expected "When it is only us or the 4 of us, just call me Chaos, if we have company I expect Sir, or another title, however you are only to refer to us as that, for others must know that they cannot order you around like we can. Also, for others you refer to them by their first names."
"Alright Chaos" I responded "So what are the weapons" I asked him as we wandered around the armoury which easily dwarfed the Amazons Warehouse. "And armour" Chaos added.
"Ahh, and here we are" Chaos told Percy "This is the first weapon I have picked out for you." He took a long and elegant sword. "Soulreaper, is the sword's name, you will find it rightfully deserves this name. Whenever you attack something, not even the greatest armour worn by our enemies, can give weapon much of a fight. It will cut through almost anything, except for any armour worn by Zoe, Luke, yourself or myself. As well it will light itself on fire when you go to battle."
The sword itself was of breathtaking beauty. Now that Chaos handed it to me I could examine it in greater detail. The sword was pure white, with three black logos on its blade. "What are those" I questioned Chaos, as I pointed to the logos. "Those are Luke, Zoe and my insignia, symbolized that you serve us, and are our assassin. No one else's."
I tested the sharpness of the blade, and true to Chaos's word it was extremely sharp. The sword itself was around a meter and a half (150 cm or around 5") and looked deadly. I could not wait to test it out on something. Chaos handed me a second sword for as he quoted "Just to make you more lethal"
I soon realized that Chaos had begun to walk once again and I followed him, eager to find out my next weapon I could use.
"As I have watched you, Percy, I noted of your visit to the Hunters and Amazons, and thus I know you are trained in all weapons on Earth that they use their, but here we have a very fearsome weapon." Chaos reached to the racks that were filled to the brim with staffs. He picked up the whitest staff and handed it to me.
"This is the first staff I have created. Very fearsome, and it can control all of the elements. In addition it can grow to have blades on both sides." He told me, and watched me as any father would when they give their child a toy, except the toy in this case is a staff that could easily wipe out any planet. The staff held the same features as the sword, both white and both looked deadly.
Eventually we were done. By then I had a Bow that could never run out of arrows as they were formed by energy, and took a very small amount of energy to form them. The staff, the sword, a duplicate of the first sword, because why not make me more dangerous, and 5 throwing knife belts, that could never run out, for they would return after being thrown and hitting their target.
We now moved on to the armour, and when Chaos reached it, oh it was beautiful.
The armour itself was black, with the insignia being white. It had straps for where the two swords would go. I discovered my bow would become a white bracelet, so would the staff, while the knifes would be concealed by the armour.
In all honesty it looked more like a coat, and less like armour, one very long coat. Otherwise it had a short sleeve shirt, the long coat, and pants, as well as black combat shoes that were made for speed. "Percy, you have to know that the armour is fitted like this for a reason, it is all made for speed, so you will stealthy, and quiet, while being well protected." Chaos told me
"You have to know the armour can be penetrated but only by an immortal being releasing more that 4 fifths of their power to their weapon, and almost no being will do that." He told me.
"Now, go get changed into your armour, and I can properly adopt and bless you, to become our assassin." He ordered me, then left.
Brief time skip
I reached the throne room, now with Chaos actually having given me a map, and stepped in. All the gems were glittering with their beauty as always. Chaos, Luke and Zoe were all on their thrones already.
I took a few steps forward, then Chaos began to speak, "Welcome Perseus, today, you will become my son, as Zoe and Luke are already my daughter and son. Let us begin and get this over with."
Chaos's eyes began to glow "Perseus Achilles Jackson! I have found you worthy to join the ranks of my army, as my Daughter and Sons Assassin. Do you accept the role?" He asked me
"Yes" I told him, "Do you accept the role of Guardian of the Creation?" He once again questioned and once again I answered "Yes", he continued "Do you swear by my name to only ever be loyal to Luke, Zoe and Myself?" once again I answered "Yes"
"Very well" His voice boomed within the throne room "I now proclaim you as my son, our assassin, and their guardian" His voice boomed, and a green glowing energy shot exited from Chaos's body, and speeded to me, and hit me.
The effects were immediate, I felt my power grow, my senses heighten, and I became more aware of everything, I knew where everything was, and I felt my energy increase.
"Welcome to the family, son." Chaos welcomed me. The throne room sparkled with all the gems in it, all sensing a new member in the family.
"Now, Zoe and Luke will take you to the army, and since you have only ever been in the throne room, you still do not know of this planet, so please do explore." Chaos told us
Zoe and Luke bounded off their thrones and leaped at me into a hug. I could get used to this. "Chaos" I began "Would I have to return to Earth"
"No Percy, you will not have to. I promise" and with that, we left.
Hello everyone.
Well, sorry for the wait, I have been swamped by work and unfortunately for you all, the fanfic was not all that high on my priority list. Anyway, next chapter I plan to do some introductions to the army, as well as a bit of focus on Earth, and all the messed up drama there.
As a response to all the reviews, the number of you guys is getting quite large, and unfortunately I do not wish to fill the chapter up with "Thank you" and "okay" so, please know that I have read all the reviews and will PM you, if you have questions or just want to talk.
As well, I have been doing some work on my schedule and have decided to update every roughly 14 -15 days. As of 1st of May.
One last note, I would recommend to not get attached too much to certain characters... for I have already planned and written the ending.
