Chapter 1 The Betrayal

Percy POV

100 Years Earlier

I stood face to face with the Giant Poryphion. It was just this ugly sucker and me. There was no one around me. All my friends were fighting (and hopefully killing) the other giants.

We were standing in the middle of a grassy field, on one side a river, and on the other a forest.

"Perseus Jackson," The Giant said as if regarding an old enemy.

"How's it hanging Poryphion, still ugly as ever?" I said and the question didn't really need to be answered.

This giant was by far the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. Next to him Typhon was a house cat.

He drew a sword and slashed forward, I rolled to the side just in time.

The sword landed right next to my outstretched leg. I drew riptide and called on the power of the nearby river.

Water instantly surrounded the giant but with a huff of his breath the water had evaporated.

I guess water's not an option.

I threw a Greek Fire Bomb that Leo had made for me right at the giants feet.

KABOOM, The Giant backed up clutching his wound foot and looked at me with such intensity I immediately doubted myself that I could beat this guy.

I shot through his legs and started climbing up the backside of his legs.

"Perseus Jackson there is no hope, Gaea will rise and Olympus will be in ruins!" Screamed the defiant Giant.

He swatted me to the ground and I landed on the hard end of a rock. My chest was on fire and my vision was starting to get blurry.

I was now praying for any help from anyone I could get.

How do I stop him, and then it suddenly hit me. I turned around and started mocking him.

"Is this all you got, your brothers were more of a match, you're just a pushover. King of the Giants, pfft, more like King of the losers." Nice insult Percy.

I started running and he started to follow. Good, I thought.

I came up on a forest and started sprinting like a madman. I was ducking under branches, jumping over rocks, and dodging trees all while a psychotic Giant chased me.

He swiped a tree and some branches fell on my ankle. I tripped and hit the ground hard.

I couldn't breathe for about a minute I felt my ankle and it was definitely broken.

What to do, what to do. I grabbed a branch and used it as a walking stick.

Next thing you know I emerge from the forest and I'm standing next to the Aegean Sea. (Did I mention we were in Greece?)

I jumped into the lake, "Game over Poryphion."

The lake erupted around me and seemed to copy my every move. This time Poryphion could not simply expel the water and I was able to throw him into the sea.

I sent him under and he didn't resurface for a while. After about 20 minutes a dead giant came up with a massive green trident in its chest.

Thanks Dad.

I looked around and saw the city of Athens in the distance. That was where the rendezvous was.

When Annabeth had first seen the city I had to close her mouth because people were staring. She was in so much joy it would've made you happy just to watch her. She looked like a kid who had just discovered candy.

My chest was still burning and water didn't do much to help.

I took my orange CHB shirt off to examine my wound. What I saw would have sickened some monsters. Right in the center of my chest was a cut about the size of a football and it was deep.

This was serious. I needed a medic but I was about an hour away from the city.

I have to reach them, I thought as my breathing became more labored.

I laid myself against a tree and noticed how beautiful the sunset was. It was like Apollo was creating a spectacle just for me.

I closed my eyes and everything went black.

My dreams weren't much better. I was reliving all the bad experiences I had, holding up the sky, losing my memory to Hera, falling into Tartarus but the weird thing was that I felt almost at peace. Like all this darkness was good for me.

I was starting to scare myself.

Leo POV

"Hey you awake buddy," I said as I poked Percy's chin. We were in the middle of the wilderness about an hour away from Athens.

Piper noticed he hadn't come back yet so Frank, Hazel, and I went searching for him.

I sent everyone and Iris Message telling them that I had found Perce and that I was bringing him back.

Good news, all the Giants were dead. Bad news Jason was seriously injured but Percy didn't look much better.

The Savior of Olympus had cuts and bruises on his face. His ankle was contorted the wrong way, and he had the worst cut I have ever seen.

I whistled as loud as I could and Festus the Dragon was right next to me. I was able to give him a new body while we were in Sparta.

He picked us up and flew us back to Athens. Standing in the ruins of the Parthenon were Hazel, Frank, Piper, and Nico.

They were all standing next to my baby, The Argo II.

Festus landed, "We need to get Percy some medical attention right away," I shouted.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked. Percy was still unconscious and when Piper saw him she was close to tears.

To close the doors of death we had to have someone on the inside and someone on the outside. As Percy was closing them from the inside Piper got too close and was sucked in to Tartarus.

I don't know how they made it out but as we were preparing for the final battle Piper showed up with some cuts and told us Percy had already engaged the Giant King Poryphion.

They had become pretty close and you could tell she was pretty worried.

When we got to sickbay Annabeth didn't even spare a glance at us. Jason had a slash down the left side of his body and a deep cut on his right thigh.

"He's gonna make it." She spoke without looking up.

"Um, Annabeth, Percy's not doing so hot either." Said Frank.

She looked over and wasn't even fazed.

"Give him some ambrosia and patch his wound up he'll be fine." She spoke coldly.

"HE'LL BE FINE!" I screamed. "He's on the verge of death." I croaked out.

She turned towards me with a venomous look in her eyes, "Do as I say or he will die Valdez."

Frank had to hold me back, Percy was one of my best friends and his 'Girlfriend' seemed to not even care about him. Ever since Annabeth was in Tartarus she seemed to be in a darker mood all the time.

She was only talking to Jason anymore; she gave the rest of us looks whenever we questioned her.

I once caught her and Jason snuggling by the fireplace while their significant others were navigating their way through Tartarus. I was too in shock to say anything but felt badly for what was most likely coming for Percy and Piper.

Piper started working on Percy and she got that massive cut bandaged up and a cast on his ankle like she was just reapplying makeup.

Percy's bruises started to heal once the ambrosia and nectar started to kick in. We laid him down in his bed and he just laid there peacefully.

I took the helm of The Argo II and set a course for New York, a course for home.

Mount Olympus

Nico POV

I was standing in the center of the throne room surrounded by the 7 of the prophecy. I looked up at the gods and noticed my dad standing behind the Olympians.

"Heroes of Olympus!" Zeus thundered. "You shall be rewarded for your bravery and faithful service to us Gods."

I looked down the line and saw Leo grinning like an idiot, Annabeth standing there as cold as ever, Jason looking up with pride in his eyes, Hazel and Frank were holding hands.

Eww.

Piper was staring intently at her mother, and Percy was just staring off into space while clutching his chest, it still hadn't fully recovered.

"We have agreed to make all 8 of you Gods." Zeus boomed, always the dramatic one.

Reactions were mixed, Leo started shouting out of pure joy, Frank had fainted and Hazel was trying to hold the big guy up. Annabeth was hugging Jason an- wait, hugging Jason? Piper gave Percy a hug an- wait, now I'm really confused wasn't it the other way around. Percy looked a little surprised but he hugged her back.

My head was hurting too much.

"Your Godly parent will tell you what you are in charge of." Zeus said.

First up was Mars (Ares), Frank had seemed to be alright now. "My son Frank, you will be the God of Strength and Power." Ares snapped and Frank fell unconscious. Hazel was able to catch him before he could hit the ground and she laid him down gently.

Dionysus spoke before anyone could say anything, "Don't worry it'll all happen to you, just a side effect of becoming a God. Annoying right?"

Aphrodite stood up and addressed Piper, "Piper, you will be the goddess of Enchantments." With a snap Piper fell and Percy caught her.

Zeus shifted into Jupiter, "Jason Grace, you are the God of Heroes."

He clapped his hands together and Jason fell, a gust of wind caught him so he had a nice landing.

Hephaestus stood which must have been hard for him because he immediately sat down. "Leo my boy, you are the God of Engineering." Before Hephaestus could make a move Leo started to scream and take a victory lap. Hephaestus was just laughing and shaking his head. He snapped his fingers while Leo was in mid stride.

Leo face planted.

Athena stood, "Annabeth, wisest of my daughters I make you the God of Architecture." Athena snapped and Annabeth hit the ground.

All that was left were Percy, Hazel, and I.

Poseidon stood up, "Perseus Jackson, you are The God of Storms," with a quick snap Percy hit the ground.

Pluto stepped up; I couldn't wait to hear what Hazel had gotten. "Hazel Levesque, you are the God of Precious Metals." He shifted to Hades, "Nico Di Angelo," here it comes, " You are the god of Ghosts and from this day you will be known as the Ghost king."

He snapped and everything went black.

Piper POV

I awoke in a bed, looked around and noticed the sheer size of the bedroom. I was laying in a canopy bed, the ceilings had to be at least 50 feet high and my room was about the size of a football field.

The strangest thing was I felt at home.

Every part of the room made me want to stay there forever.

It was then I heard screaming, the voice sounded familiar. The doors shot open, standing there was a certain Leo Valdez, an out of breath Leo Valdez.

"This place is freakin amazing!" He shrieked.

"Leo, settle down, where are we?" I asked.

"On Olympus, of course, we're Gods now." He started explaining things so fast that I could only understand a little.

Apparently the 8 of us shared a temple with 8 gigantic bedrooms. I started to walk to breakfast. I went out into the hallway and saw seven other doors, each a different color.

I went into the living room/dining hall area. Laid out on everybody's plates was a glass of nectar and squares of ambrosia.

The dining room quickly filled up, Percy took a seat next to me. And Jason sat on the other side of me.

Annabeth sat at one of the heads and Nico sat at the other. Hazel and Frank were sitting next to each other and Leo hadn't gotten over his excitement yet because he was still in his room.

The lights turned off.

Jason got up and drew his gladius, suddenly a laser light show started. Fireworks were going off everywhere and loud music rocked the place.

An announcer's voice spoke. "GODS AND GODDESSES LE ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SUPER-AWESOME GOD OF ENGINEERING, LEO VALDEZ!"

Leo shot out of a hole in the ground and right into his seat.

Percy turned to him, he looked like he was going to scream and we were all expecting the worst. "THAT…. WAS…AWESOME!" he gave Leo a high five and sat back down.

Boys.

After breakfast I found a note in my bedroom telling me to meet up with all the Gods in the throne room.

I laid down took a nap and awaited the day ahead of me.

Percy POV

To say I was shocked was an understatement.

I was a God.

I let that sit in as I sat in my room. I could feel power radiating throughout my body.

The God of Storms, huh. I started to concentrate my powers and I could feel a tornado staring in Kansas, I stopped it immediately. This was pretty cool.

I teleported into the throne room and as it turns out I was the last one there.

"Perce you missed my awesome entrance." Said Leo. I saw Hephaestus, Apollo, and Hermes still chuckling.

I truthfully told him, "I bet it was awesome."

Zeus coughed and we all looked at him.

"Now to discuss the matter we called you here for, you all need a spouse." He said.

I was just as surprised as everyone else.

This time my dad spoke, "You have the option to choose someone, should they say yes you will be married or you can choose to stay single."

Zeus called out, "Frank Zhang,"

Frank responded quickly, "Hazel Levesque."

"Hazel, yes or no."

"Yes Lord Zeus."

"Then it is done. Next, Jason Grace."

Piper, I guess.

"Annabeth Chase."

Annabeth spoke up, "Yes."
