AN: Hey people! So, I decided to upload both parts to Chapter 5 at the same time due to boredom. That's why I've been busy lately. Anyway, please leave comments/reviews below! Thanks :3
SON OF KRONOS
Chapter 5-ish
Percy knew he was going to die today. He didn't know how, but something in the back of his head told him so. That, and the fact that there were maybe 30 demigods still standing. He was covered in manticore blood and empousai dust. All in all, he really wanted a nap. The only thing keeping him from passing out was the water nearby. The camp was in flames, the naiads were screaming their heads off, and the satyrs were playing their pipes faster than Apollo himself. Percy knew this battle could end only one way: with Olympus reduced to rubble. But then, a door appeared.
The door opened, and Draco Saeculum calmly stepped out. His sling was gone, replaced with a dark sword. His demeanor had changed completely; everyone could tell that Tartarus had changed him. Everyone was so shocked, they stopped fighting at once. Annabeth and Nico ran up to him, asking if he was okay. But Draco gave Annabeth a look darker and eviler than Tartarus himself, and said, "I don't need your hospitality, Chase. You too, Nico." He then turned to the others and said, "Hello, half-bloods. I'm back from Tartarus. Yes, it really is me. No, I'm not possessed. I came back to help my family do what is right." The demigods clapped and cheered. But Draco yelled, "QUIET!" The demigods immediately shut up. "As I said, I came to help my family. Now, I would imagine none of you know who my immortal parent is. Am I correct in my assumption?" The demigods nodded. "I thought so. When I first came here, I knew exactly who my parent was. In fact, he sent me here." Percy raised his hand and said, "Um, if you knew your parent, why didn't you stay in your cabin?" Draco spotted him and gave him a cold look that shocked Percy. "To answer Percy's question, I didn't stay in my cabin because I did not have one. My father never had a cabin made." Annabeth said, "But we have cabins for all the gods. Unless…" Draco smirked and said, "Yes, Annabeth, my parent is not a god. In fact, why not let him stop by?" At that moment, Draco yelled into the air, "DAD! THE DEMIGODS WANT TO SEE YOU!" Soon, the air became black and solidified into a pale, black-haired figure holding a scythe. Draco smiled at him and said, "Hi, Dad." Percy stood up, a look of indignation on his face. "Kronos? Your dad is Kronos?" Kronos smiled at Percy, a sickening smile, and said, "Oh, hello Jackson. Nice to see you're doing well. And with your girlfriend, too." The demigods all grabbed their weapons, but Kronos' glare literally froze them. "Oh, how wonderful it is to see you, my son. I longed to see you alive and well." he said to Draco. "It's wonderful to see you as well, Father. So, how many should I kill right now?" Draco stabbed five demigods in the throat as a warm-up. Kronos replied, "That should be good enough." Time unfroze for the demigods as five of them dropped dead. Percy summoned the water, and aimed it at Kronos. "Bye bye, Jackson." the Lord of Time said as he disappeared. Draco walked around and said, "I guess that just leaves me, Percy. Ever face a god before? Because I am the half-brother to the Olympians." "Please, I fought Ares once. Not that hard," replied Percy as he lunged at Draco. Draco dodged and cut Percy with his sword. Percy yelled and propelled waves of water at the Titan. Draco laughed and said, "Ares is a puny brat who is afraid of losing. I am not. If you by chance defeat me, I will gladly help you in your quest of murdering my father." Percy replied, "Fine. But be prepared to lose." Draco grinned maliciously and threw a knife at Percy with alarming speed. Percy barely dodged it and slashed at Draco's chest. Riptide bounced off Draco's chest, and Draco grabbed it. To his surprise, Riptide began to glow with heat. Draco quickly threw it at Percy like a knife. Percy grabbed the knife by the blade and said, "I'm done playing games, Draco. This needs to end now." He summoned all the water he could and launched it at Draco with the speed of a missile. Luckily, it caught Draco by surprise and he sunk instantly. Percy swam over and grabbed Draco by the collar and helped him out. Draco sputtered out water instantly. Percy helped him get the water out of his lungs by taking it out. "Wha…why did you save me, Jackson?" Draco asked. "So I could do this." A voice said as a blade pierced his back from behind. He looked at the blade now protruding his chest, and saw Celestial Bronze. Annabeth.
"Surprised, Draco?" Draco stood up calmly and said, "To be honest, yes, Annabeth. I was surprised. Surprised that I have to do this." "Wha-!" Annabeth's question was silenced by a dark, inky tendril seeping into her throat. "What are you doing to my girlfriend?!" Percy yelled. "Silence, Perseus. I am simply controlling this tendril and telling it to crush her lungs so she doesn't make a fuss when I kill you. Oh, and don't try anything. I have your girlfriend, after all." Draco grinned. Percy looked crestfallen. "I'm so sorry, I really am. It's just that I can't let the gods win. They would banish my father again. And we can't have that, now can we, Annabeth?" Draco looked at Annabeth, her veins now black.
Something inside Percy snapped. He roared and tackled Draco. Percy began punching him mercilessly, never stopping. Suddenly, Annabeth screamed. The tendril had disappeared. "Stop it, Percy! STOP IT!" Percy looked up and saw Annabeth, tears streaming down her face. For a moment, Percy had doubts about killing Draco. But just for a moment. Percy glared at Annabeth, his eyes now black -Almost as black as Tartarus, Annabeth thought- and proceeded to rip Draco's throat and…eat it. He ate Draco's throat ravenously and didn't stop until Draco's head was severed. Annabeth was screaming in terror as Draco's head was forever in a grin. Draco had the last laugh.
Percy stood up, golden ichor streaming down his mouth, and said, "Now I must destroy Kronos for what he did. I will tear him apart, piece by piece, tendon by tendon, bone by bone. The Olympians will dine on his flesh!" He summoned water to his side and surfed to the Empire State Building. Annabeth sat there, sobbing at what her boyfriend had become.
