A/N-OK I am happier now with three reviews but we can do better… I hope… I almost trashed this story because I thought no one was following... Does anyone actually read these author notes?
Thanks to PeaceLoveAndCheese, percyjacksonfan16, and MinervaAthena1235 otherwise, I would not be posting this chapter… (Only ones who reviewed out of like 12 0f you who followed not including people without accounts who are supposedly following)
Disclaimer: …it belongs to Rick we all know that…
~Tartarus turned to me and spoke three simple words "We begin now" with tat he pulled out a sword and raised it…and vanished?~
Third person
A dark eerie silence set in as Perseus Jackson stood in Tartarus ready for something, anything to happen. The darkness and fog made it difficult to see even a foot away from him, so he stood still, listening, waiting knowing that Tartarus holds the worst beings known to earth.
Sure enough, something did come…
The sound of flapping wings grew stronger and stronger, overcoming the faint screams of pain and torture from above him. He started to get nervous… 'how will I make it out of this one' was the one thought that kept going around in his head like a disk or short song stuck on replay.
To make it worse the blood red light, the only light available, slowly began fading as if the crack that is Tartarus was slowly closing completely sealing him off from the rest of the world, or well underworld for this matter.
He would have to fight blindly… He wouldn't know what he was fighting… he would have to rely completely on his other senses, which he was noticing now were not as strong without his vision.
The flapping got louder, closer, to the point where Percy assumed was almost directly in front of him. For a stressful moment, the beats of the flapping wings slowed down and sounded as if the creature were circling him, as a hawk does its prey.
Breaking the once steady flapping it attacked with swift slashes of claws that just barely gazed his skin, leaving only the faintest "swoosh" as a warning.
Relying only on hearing and instinct Percy quickly dodged the attacks from the creature as best he could.
He nearly stopped dead in his swing when the thing began to speak "Now honey, how in Hades did the great hero of Olympus get himself stuck in Tartarus…"
He was sure now that the creature was the fury, Alteco (I spelled that wrong didn't I oh well you know what I mean) his old math teacher who apparently never stopped calling him honey.
He started attacking back until it became a series of dodges and blinds swings every now and then one of the two landing a scratch on one another.
When the creatures talons sank themselves into his shoulder it took all he had not to scream. In pain and in one swift movement swung his sword - τέλος (said: telos- according to Google translate) which was Greek for 'end'- toward the fury and knew he won when the grip of its talons released and the body fell limp.

(Less than 15 minutes later)
Two swords clash together.
The forces of two enemies already having met face to face at least twice before collided.
Percy was rather happy to face this specific monster, as he knew how the Minotaur fought and knew how to beat it easily. In fact, it was probably going to be the easiest fight he would face in Tartarus. He shouted, "Hey beef head I'm over here". A simple snort roar and thunder of hooves was the only response. Waiting until the last second Percy jumped out of the way, remembering the first time he fought the Minotaur with his mother teaching him what to do…
The memory… it was upsetting…he nearly dropped his sword remembering his mother. How badly he missed her. He missed everyone. Trying to move on was one of the most difficult challenges he has faced yet, they are his family, his best friends.
He had not given up on finding them again, even though he was always busy for Nyx he found ways to try and find them. There was no way to iris message them because he was not on earth therefore not in iris' range of service. However, he did find a way to shift the shadows and water vapor, almost in a similar way and when he finally had tried to contact camp, there was no one there. This confused him the most; usually there was someone, anyone at camp. Nevertheless, he found no one, not even the nature spirits.
Later he had tried the same thing and got the same result so he tried camp Jupiter and again the same thing… no one. Had everyone forgotten about him? Was there anyone looking for him? Where were both camps? (Little does he know that the only reason both camps are well not at camp, they're both at the meeting about his disappearance or out looking for him…but if you were paying attention you would know that…)
Pain…
Pain surged through his body, snapping him back to reality as the Minotaur had managed to hit him in an attempt charge. The horn was bad enough but that bull had one thick head that on full impact was worse than being hit by a car travelling 200 miles an hour.
Back to reality, Percy quickly collected his thoughts and stood ready to end the battle.
When the dumbfounded Minotaur realized how fast the son of Poseidon hat recovered, he charged blindly once again.
This time Percy stayed focused… Listening to each pounding step the beast took until he was finally close enough and Percy jumped to the side while extending his sword ending the battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~REVIEW~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surprisingly nothing came after that so Percy decided on wandering around maybe finding something useful however, he would find anything but useful.
Weeks seemed to pass as he fought medusa and all the other monsters that he had fought before; the funny thing was that they were in the same order that he originally met them. (if you want more fights im gonna need more reviews and let me know which fights and what monsters.)They seemed to show up in the order in which he actually fought them before, starting with the fury and assuming that by now soon should be the end as he reached the time of fighting Kronos. He only thought it to be the end because after medusa the monsters seemed to come in pairs then multiplying, more coming each time…
Sure enough, time seemed to slow slightly but what he feared more was the fact that he felt a presence, one that he has come all too familiar with, one that he hates, one that once thought him to be her pawn. Kronos and Gaea. And to make it worse it felt as though there were lots more monsters, enough to form at least three very large armies, of course this was still only relying on the sound of many, many, monster cries, screeches, roars, flapping wings, and clanging metal.
Unfortunately, for the titan and Primordial Percy had grown much more powerful during his time with Nyx and Erebus. How else do you think he was able to defeat all those monsters without even losing his breath?
Percy easily overcame the titan lord's time control which to be honest, Kronos is nothing without his powers. Gaea is whom he decided was going to be the real problem.
As if confirming his suspicions, the earth beneath his feet began to rattle and he could hear and feel small cracks forming beneath his feet.
Quickly he sprinted to safer ground. For once, he began to panic. The last time he fought Gaea he had six of the strongest most powerful half bloods to help him, he had the ocean to help him.
Just thinking about the ocean in his state of panic seemed to trigger something.
Percy pov
I felt the usual pulling in my gut like when I used my water powers… only one problem, there was no water in Tartarus…Was there?
Focusing back on the fight I turned to the direction I had last sensed the titan lord. What I saw (***cough*cough*hint*hint***) though nearly knocked me off my feet in itself.
It felt almost like a sixth sense as I saw a glowing blue figure charging at me with its hands raised in the position as though they had a sword. Out of instinct, I raised my sword to where the figures sword would have been …
"CLANG!" was my only conformation that there indeed was a weapon there.
(may add more detail later if you really want… my fight scenes suck…)
We held our ground neither one was going to back down easily, but without his advantage over time I was stronger, more powerful. Because of this to me, he was no more a challenge than a pack of hellhounds, which to me now was pretty easy.
After defeating the titan lord, it finally clicked in my head why I was able to see him as a glowing dark ocean blue figure. It all lead back to one of the first things Nyx had taught me… something like, "water is everywhere I just need to know my surroundings…"
Looking around me, I noticed I was surrounded as I was stuck in the middle of what looked like a completely new ocean, blue and restless.
Out of instinct I raised my sword and tore through the army … if that's the right thing to call it… more like citizens of the country Tartarus.
In nearly half an hour I had demolished about half the army and have not even broken a sweat, even though I have started to breath heavier.
In what I would call, record time the whole army was laying inert on the ground. I stopped, trying to catch my breath.
BIG mistake.
A sword point to my neck caused me to stiffen up and fix my grip the handle of my sword, "Finally, son of the sea god I don't know how you got into Tartarus or why but you shouldn't have …" with every word, she dug her sword deeper into my neck.
"Water is everywhere…"
Hmmm…
With that thought, I smirked and concentrated on the water molecules within me. And it worked! I was nothing more and nothing less than the mist, the water vapor in the air as I swam through the air and reformed behind the primordial. She swung around only to find herself freezing. Literally.
I started at her feet, were she connected to earth, to her power. Slowly moving upward until I reached her head. Raising my sword, I made one final stab towards the block of ice and rock, which sent her shattering to millions of pieces but not before first practically growling at her, "I am not your pawn, I never was and never will be. You're a pathetic excuse for a primordial." Shock, disbelief, scared, don't even begin to describe the look on her face as I single handedly ended her.
Almost as soon as the goddess crumbled to the ground the hooded figure Tartarus stood before me and spoke four simple words; "you have proven yourself."
And started walking away with a motion for me to follow, to who knows where…
A/N- Please review… and the whole thing with the monsters and evil people dying in Tartarus… well there not completely 'dead' but because they are already in Tartarus there is nowhere else for them to go so they kind of 'pass out' I guess… for a long period of time…
Good bad whatever
Please…you've reduced me to begging…
Just REVIEW
