Chapter 2. I become a God.

Disclaimer: Must I do this every chapter? If so this is an extreme pain with all the story related ideas going through my head having to be put on hold as I take my time to write this out. Anyway, I am not currently writing two different series, therefore I am not Rick Riordan.

Previous Chapter summary

"Percy please come back… Please… I'm so sorry" Annabeth choked out as she cried herself to sleep. Poseidon looked up to see who had entered and smiled when he saw Percy, but he saw his son's face change to that of one filled with great grief. Percy was finally starting to get over the hurt of being dumped, and was about to leave his room when he felt an earthquake. He quickly barged out the door and saw a merman "Hey what's going on!" Percy yelled above the sound. "Oceanus is attacking, Poseidon has gone outside to confront him." The merman replied. "Oh shit" Percy muttered as he floated out to help.

Back to the story

Percy quickly made his way through the palace while everything seemed to be falling apart. Earthquake after earthquake shocked the palace until they abruptly stopped, Percy slowed for a second thinking of what that could possibly mean when the biggest earthquake he had ever felt ran through the palace causing many rooms to collapse on helpless mer-people. This whole situation was scaring Percy, he knew he had to help, he had to find his father.

Fortunately that wasn't hard. Percy found his father in a battle of epic proportions against Oceanus, there was sea debris hurtling towards each opponent as they tried to outdo each other with their control over the sea. Percy looked around to see Amphitrite and Triton both badly wounded, he knew almost immediately that they didn't stand a good chance of making it out of this alive. So the demi-god did the only thing he could think of, he got into the middle of the fight halting its progress temporarily and spoke to his father.

"Dad, please go comfort your family. They are dying and you should be beside them in the end." Percy stated sadly.

"Percy…. Thank you and don't let up against Oceanus he will use anything he can get as an advantage." Poseidon said wearily, golden blood trickling down from his wounds.

"Its fine father, go be with them and should the time come, you will then be able to help me deal with Oceanus." Percy said softly, then proceeding to draw riptide.

(Never written a fight scene before, so tell me what you think. I want to give them a shot in this story so your feedback is welcome.)

Percy used the water to propel him into Oceanus sending them toppling away from the palace and then everything became a blur of combat as the demigod and sea titan engaged in a super speed battle. Percy was still shocked at just how much the water allowed his skill to increase, knowing that without it he would have been dispatched quickly by his foe. Cut after cut, clash after clash, the battle seemed to be going nowhere.

"Tell me Perseus, what is it you hold dear? A girlfriend?" Oceanus taunted.

Percy snorted. "Not anymore" he replied sadly.

"Then perhaps something even closer to your heart. Friends… Family" the sea titan spoke in a scarily smooth voice. (You know that one that all baddies have… it's creepy…)

"You will not touch anyone dear to me. If you even try, I WILL KILL YOU" Said Percy feeling his rage growing while his power was constantly being added to by the sea.

"Perseus when will you learn, Immortals don't die, we Just reform. But giving it some thought, I think I'll start with your mother… just think of the possible things I could do." Oceanus spoke teasingly.

Percy had had enough, he was not going to let anything happen to his friends or his family. He would die before he let the enemy touch them, and even in death he would fight for them. The demigod's rage built to bursting point fury evident on his face when he had an idea and everything became a haze of actions. Perseus attacked the titan with such force that Oceanus was unable to hold him back as he began sustaining wounds and gold ichor begun to cloud in the water making each strike Percy was about to do a complete mystery.

Oceanus was in pain, more than he had ever felt before and he began to fear Perseus. The sea titan knew that if he didn't escape soon that he would never be able to return. So he begun to try and retreat but Percy was relentless and just kept striking the titan until everything went quiet. Oceanus looked into Perseus' eyes and knew there was no escaping this and he accepted his fate as the demigod's final blow came in contact with the titan.

Percy was dazed, he barely remembered anything that had happened when he heard a gasp, the demigod turned his head to look at the source and saw his father standing there.

"All is well father, Oceanus is gone." Percy said before collapsing into unconsciousness.

"Percy that was amazing… you just made the titan of the ocean, Oceanus fade. You have finally brought peace to my realm after millennia of war, thank you my son." Poseidon croaked, tears streaking down his face.

A few hours later.

Perseus awoke, his body completely drained and tired after the battle to see Apollo at his side as his vision cleared and focused.

"What happened?" Percy asked, his voice a barely audible whisper.

"You happened, and now you're the talk of the Century… again" Apollo said almost grudgingly.

Percy racked his brain as to what had happened and vaguely remembered battling Oceanus it seemed like a dream that was just out of his grasp. Percy began to sit up with Apollo murmuring to be careful and take it easy, and examined the room he was in. It was a massive dome shaped room, that gave off the vibe of an infirmary which made Percy know that he had to get out of there as soon as possible. The walls were plain white marble with golden trims around the frames.

"Where am I?" The demigod requested of the god.

"In my private infirmary, you're dad asked that I take care of you personally and judging by his appearance right now, I didn't want to decline." Apollo spoke smoothly.

"Where is he?... my father" Perseus questioned.

"In the Olympian council explaining what happened down in his realm with Oceanus and what you did. I must say Percy, if the story is true, I am impressed, if not a little scared" Apollo joked.

"I suppose you are going to say that I have to stay here and wait until I get better huh." Percy stated.

"On the contrary hero, you are requested in the throne room immediately" Apollo replied smugly with emphasis on the word hero.

"Oh" was all Percy said as he got up and together he and Apollo made their way to the council chambers.

As they left Apollo's palace Percy was in awe, he had never been to the private palaces section of Olympus and now he felt a little jealous that Annabeth was the one to rebuild these. He didn't like to admit it but she had done an amazing job, each palace clearly represented the god or goddess they contained. Magnificent structures made of gold, silver, green, black any colour that particular Olympian was known for.

The pair soon found themselves outside the throne room and proceeded to walk in. It was exactly the same as he remembers it after the war against the giants, the gods had requested that Annabeth not change it too much but what she did change the gods marvelled at. Behind each throne was a statue of the god that sat there holding their weapon of choice to add to the intimidation for anyone other than a god visiting Olympus. The room stood with the assistance of solid gold pillars spread evenly around the room. In the middle of the room was a world map that was capable of zooming into the location of any demigod requested.

The seated gods began to take notice that Percy has entered the room, all looking at him apprehensively, calculating if he was a threat in his current state. Poseidon turned to look at Perseus and a small smile crossed his face but he still mourned the loss of his beloved wife and son.

"Perseus, if you would, a word please. Poseidon, please be seated" Zeus requested.

Percy was shocked, (no pun intended) here was the king of the gods, making a request rather than a demand. If defeating one titan earned him this kind of respect then what would happen were he to defeat more of them permanently.

"Yes Lord Zeus? What do you wish to speak about" Percy asked hesitantly.

"Your father told us about the battle against Oceanus and how you made him fade. Now Honestly Perseus we Olympians are undecided on how to act, so if you will allow it we would ask some questions of you." Zeus said respectfully.

"Shoot" Percy said

"Why were you with your father in his new palace?" Zeus questioned.

"Truth be told Lord Zeus, it was an accident. I was having dinner with Annabeth and was about to pop the question when she interrupted me and ended the relationship. I proceeded to take a swim to try and take my mind off it and found my father's palace." Percy explained sadly.

The Olympians each gave off a startled look of shock as to why anyone would leave Perseus, the greatest man to live in one particular moon goddesses mind. Aphrodite looks sad that she lost her favourite couple and doesn't notice the look Artemis was giving Percy.

"I am sorry for my daughters actions Perseus, they were unwise and the actions of a total fool. She didn't know what she lost until it was gone." Athena said soothingly.

The Olympians looked at each other and a silent agreement was made.

"Perseus, how would you like to become a god?" Zeus spoke hesitantly, not wanting the offer to be turned down again.

"Honestly Zeus, I don't know what I want from my life anymore, everything I had planned was destroyed." Percy spoke softly, some of the gods having to lean forwards just to hear him speak.

"Son, if you accept you will have a whole new world open up to you. Nothing will be impossible and although an immortal life can be boring, should you find something or someone to spend the time with, than you will be wishing that it never ends." Poseidon spoke with slight hope.

"Thanks for the advice dad. Zeus I will accept the offer but can I ask of you one condition first?" Percy requested hesitantly, not sure how much to ask of the gods with the current gift already on the table.

"And what would that be young demigod?" Zeus asked.

"I would like somewhere to train and not be disturbed, some where I know that I can be left alone to think." Percy stated more confidently.

"How about he stays with the hunt?" Aphrodite mentioned, catching everyone's attention.

"WHAT! There is no way I will allow a man to stay in the hunt" Artemis shrieked.

"You may not allow it Artemis but as King my word is final, I'm sorry but this is for Perseus recovery and hell, you might even get to like him." Zeus finished rather smugly.

"Fine" Artemis pouted slightly, not used to not getting her way.

"Well then Perseus, shall we begin?" Zeus asked.

"Sure thing" he replied and then everything disappeared into a blinding light.

Percy looked around as the entirety of the Greek civilisation rose around him then fell to the Romans. He saw every battle the gods were involved in, and all the lives that were lost. Homes lied in ruin, merely skeletons of what they used to be. But with the sad, came the happy as he saw children playing freely without a care in the world, and parents happily conversing without fear that there may be an attack at any moment.

Then the demigod heard a whisper and he was only able to make out a few words, it sounded like the oracles voice.

Chaos… battle endlessly,

Unless love… eternity.

One will… fade,

… become ultimate… made.

The… rise… light,

… finishing… fight.

…arrive… last,

… time… never… pass.

Then the light receded and Percy found himself back in the throne room, except that now he stood fifteen feet tall.

"All hail Perseus Jackson, God of Tides and Hurricanes, Close quarter combat, Loyalty and Friendship." Zeus spoke officially, power evident in his voice.
