A/N: Hey guys, so sorry that I took a while for this update, I had the worst case of writer's block ever! This was probably the hardest chapter I've ever written, but I hope I managed to do this part justice, even though I probably didn't. Even though this is the shortest chapter so far, I hope you guys like it, and don't forget to read the disclaimer at the end and try not to kill me!

Chapter 5- Jason

As Nico di Angelo called the shadows to restrain Jason after Jason tried to grab the out of it Percy, all Jason felt was anger at being defeated by a 12 year old kid. This pure rage was what caused the son of Jupiter to do what he did next.

What Jason did next was he called a mass number of lightning to him to strike his friends and collapse the exit of the prison, so the other demigods wouldn't be able to escape with Percy, who had been currently being held prisoner against his will. If Percy escaped, then Tartarus and Gaea would be so angry that they hadn't succeeded in killing him and draining the Sea Spawn of all his blood to help Tartarus create a new body, no one knows what they would do in their anger to Jason.

However, what Jason hadn't been prepared for was the fact that Percy was more coherent then he had originally thought. So this meant Jason was severely thrown off guard when Percy created a huge wave of water out of thin air to absorb the whole shock of electricity from Jason's lightning strike. Because of Percy's great power, he has saved his friends from being electrocuted and he also saved the exit from being collapsed, allowing everyone a chance to escape.

But before everyone did escape, Percy redirected his wave of power back at Jason, shocking him with the electrical water. Though the electricity didn't hurt him like it would do to most demigods, the water still stunned him. It knocked him off his feet, making him land hard on his knees, completely soaked from head to toe, shivering from the freezing liquid he had been blasted with. Jason was so completely shocked that he and his powers hadn't won this battle; Jason barely registered the fact that Percy collapsed to his knees from sheer exhaustion of using that much power when he was already so weak, and that Nico had to carry him on his back.

In fact, the only reason Jason looked up at all was because he was cursing Percy and his superior powers and the fact that he would do anything for a friend, even if it meant sacrificing himself for them. Jason was bitterly hoping that Percy would die from the amount of energy he used to create his wave of power. That was when Jason looked up and he saw Nico looking very worried for Percy, so Jason knew that Nico could sense Percy's life aura was fading fast, and this made Jason feel better about his very first defeat in a fight.

However, this didn't change the fact in Jason's mind that he had let the demigods get away rescue Percy from his torture. So Jason began cursing every god and goddess he could think of, especially Jupiter his father, about his life and how he was going to be punished by Gaea and Tartarus by failing in his duties to them.

That was when Tartarus suddenly appeared suddenly out of nowhere, and seized Jason by his throat and dragged him to Gaea's chamber, where Jason and Percy first fought. Just when Jason thought that he would pass out from lack of oxygen, Tartarus released his throat and tossed Jason on the cold hard stone floor, leaving him gasping for air.

"What happened? How could you possibly let that Sea Brat escape with his friends? I thought you said that you were the better fighter, and that no one could beat you in battle!" shouted Tartarus and Gaea in perfect unison.

"Before today, no one has ever beaten me in a fight. Unfortunately, that changed today, because I was defeated by Percy and I guess Nico too. What happened was when I lunged at Nico to try to take Percy from his arms, Nico saw the trick coming, and he called the shadows to materialize and restrain me. This angered me so much, that I summoned a great amount of lightning to try to hit my friends and collapse the doorway that would allow them to escape.

"Unfortunately, I didn't realize that Percy was still conscious, and I only know that he was, because he leapt out of Nico's arms and quickly summoned a ginormous wave of water out of thin air and absorbed the electrical shock from the lightning I sent at him. After Percy summoned the wave, he was able to control it and send the water back at me, hitting me with the full force of it.

"Although the electricity in the water didn't hurt me, the force of the wave still knocked me down from the sheer amount of force and power in it. Even though I saw that Perseus collapsed from the energy he used to create the wave out of nothing, I saw the son of Hades pick him up, and with him and the others, they all escaped. It is very disastrous for us to learn this, because it seems that Percy is even more powerful than we originally thought, if he was able to conjure something out of thin air in his extremely weakened state. I am sorry that I let him get away with his life," apologized Jason, in the hope he wouldn't be punished for his failure and defeat.

"I see, son of Jupiter. While I appreciate your honesty with us, you still have failed to complete your assignment of making sure that stupid Sea Spawn did not escape, maybe you are doubting your choice of joining us?" inquired Tartarus.

"Never! I will never go back to being the Olympians' pawn ever again, they deserve to die and crumble for using their children for the past 5 millennia!" desperately exclaimed Jason.

"While I am glad that you do not question your oath to us, you still need to learn your lesson that you will accomplish what we assign you to do or die trying. So Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, I sentence you to be our prisoner and be tortured at our mercy, until I have Perseus Jackson in my clutches again, where I can torment him into complete insanity and only when he is so far gone and he begs me for death, will I finally let him die at my feet! Now let the first of many of your tortures start!" ordered Tartarus.

That was when Tartarus flung his hands in Jason's direction, causing hundreds of gruesome images to flood his mind. What Jason saw was so awful and scarring, that he was nearly driven insane by the 5 minutes of images he endured.

Only then did Jason begin to question torturing Percy by allowing and even encouraging Tartarus to do exactly this to him and his mind. Jason was beginning to appreciate the impairment Percy must have on his mental stability and he knew that even if Percy survived using his powers when he was already nearly dead, he would be forever scarred and changed by what he experienced, both physically and mentally. Jason had only suffered this form of agony for 5 minutes, and he was already nearly driven out of his mind by the sheer evil of the images he was unwillingly shown.

When Tartarus and Gaea began to laugh maniacally, Jason knew there would only be one way for him to escape this with his mind still intact and functioning relatively like it should be in the first place.

"Stop! Please stop! I swear on the River Styx that I will capture and kill Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, the very first chance I have! Do not doubt that I will be the one to bring the death of Percy Jackson!" swore Jason, meaning it with the bottom of his heart, anything to stop his torture.

Disclaimer:

Jason: "Really? Am I seriously that much of a traitor that you make me swear that I am going to kill Percy?"

Me: "Yup."

Percy: "You obviously have a huge problem with me, considering you have me almost dying every other chapter. Now you have one of my best friends swear to kill me to Gaea and Tartarus, I mean who does that?"

Me: "I do that, even though I don't own you or any other characters, I still own this FanFiction, and what I say goes. But if you hate what is happening now to you, then you really will despise the next chapter."

Percy: "What?! Please don't kill me! Wait a minute, you realize you still have a whole book left in the series, so I seriously doubt you can kill me in the middle of the series, that I am a main character in. Rick Riordan would never do that to the Fan Girls everywhere, due to them threatening to murder him if he did."

Me: "I don't know about Rick Riordan, but I could always make you a ghost. Who says you will permanently gone, you could just be dead but a spirit. So you better be nice, or I could have you meet an unfortunate fate."

Percy: All blood leaves his face, leaving him very pale, "Don't kill me! Please! I have so much to live for!"

Me: Grins evilly, "We'll see! Until next time, everyone should remember no spoilers whatsoever for the actual House of Hades by Rick Riordan! It would be no fun for anyone to have the book ruined for them before they actually get to read it for themselves."
