Good, evil or logic
Disclaimer: Percy Jackson belongs to Rick Riordain.
Hmm. Alex, the extremely powerful titan of fire and civilization versus Zeus and Kronos, a highly unlikely and powerful alliance. I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately my phone can only record three minutes of video. Unless I delete the funny one about the girl, the turtle and the gnome. Yeah, we're totally screwed. Josh as usual, looks completely unfazed. See? In times of crisis I once more take in the little things. Back to my life!
"Two against one?" asked Alex. "That's kinda unfair. Zeus, will you please leave, or dance around looking threatening while me and Kronos fight?" Now, lets see just how considerate he is...
"You and Perseus have a , disturbed sense of humor." said Zeus, calmly swinging his bolt on one hand. Oh, well we have needs too scuz bag!
"Percy, can't we do something?" whispered Annabeth. "Alex can't take both of them." Ah ha. She seems to be aware of Alex's limitations
"Unless you count running no." I said. "Thalia, you got any ideas?"
"No." whispered Thalia. "What about Josh, can he think of something? Sanity isn't exactly working for us now, so...
" Fret not little mortal." came a voice in my head. "Prometheus shall come to no harm."
"Huh? Who is this?" I thought back. "Is this about a dog?" Honestly, some people have no consideration for my space. Or my head.
"Ah. The son of Poseidon can't remember me." said the now quite annoying voice.
"Oh shit. Kronos. You can read minds?" I thought back. Really, I was so hoping he wasn't taking out readers digest on my head.
"Only willing ones. Such as yours." said, or thought Kronos. " And, Perseus, I'm not reading your mind. It's more like talking to you in a waking dream."
"Willing?' I though back. "I sure don't want you in me in any sense of the word."
" Zeus, I'm serious. Back off, or you'll regret it." said Alex. His black blade shot into flames.
"Yes, willing. It doesn't have to be a conscious thing Percy. You may not know it, but you want me to help you." said Kronos. Damn, now I have to keep track on two conversations at once.
"Help me?" I though back. " What, are you going to assist my suicide or something?"
" Not really. Percy, you know that all the gods have champions. Half bloods who lead their cause on the mortal plain. I want you to be mine." said Kronos, breaking the melancholy nicely.
" I knew you were incapable of rational thought the first time you disobeyed me but now you're acting just plain stupid." said Zeus. Man, he has to work on his repartee.
"The narration isn't really necessary." said Kronos. Fool! It's essential. But no one knows why.
"Number one, fuck you." I thought. "Number two, you have Luke. And if you disposed of him this easily, then I don't think the whole employer employee relationship will work out."
" I won't kill Luke. He will lead my armies. He shall be my sword , who strikes at me enemies and ends them. You shall be my dagger, which ever so slowly goes into my enemies back." said Kronos. Oh ,dammit I suck at verbal debated. Now I have to do a non verbal one. The bitter irony. Wait, sarcasm shall save me!
"Right. One more problem. Your evil. Talk your way out of that one you sick, regenerated titan, person." I thought. Woah! I just realized I'm may not really be talking to Kronos, but I may have actually turned insane! I must investigate!
"I would say touché." said Alex. "But that just sucked. It was boringer than the whole stuck to a rock for a very long time deal."
" Do not worry Perseus." said Kronos, sensing my concern. "This is not Prometheus actual attempt at repartee, he's stalling. Further more, evil is a word. Just another word. Like stimulation or maybe even rudebox." Wow. Tartuarus TV must be bad.
" Right, next you'll be telling me there's no good or evil, only power and those to blind to see it." I thought. Or so I thought.
" Wrong Perseus. Think logiacally. There can be no definition of evil. Everywhere you see people angry at each other, because the think what the other one has done is wrong. Everyone defines what's right or wrong for them. You have to decide for yourself. And have you? If the media, and all the bastards tell you something, like when Annabeth told you I'm evil, did you believe them? You did. It's like the old saying, it takes years to build friendship and trust, and only suspicion, not truth to destroy it. Before you know what is truly evil, you must ask yourself why people are always willing to believe bad things about others but very rarely believe good things about others?" said Kronos. "Everyone believes the rumors..."
"Right." I thought. But it wasn't. It's hard to believe anything good about anyone when you've only heard but things about them. Because people don't want to hear good things about others, they only want to hear bad things about others. Wait, was that the point? Or was it just some random puncoiation? "So." I asked them. "You're the victim of various rumors. Yet you ate and used human for entertainment. I know it sounds bad, cause it is bad."
"I didn't know any better. People justify eating animals by claiming they have no intelligence. They also used them for entertainment. I considered human beings to be animals. I could see no difference between you and other monkeys. It was Prometheus who actually saw potential in your kind. And he was right." thought Kronos. Okay with that ,unless I'm willing to give up those delicious chicken nuggets, I really can't argue with without being a hypocrite.
"Now that's a lengthy stall." said Zeus, indicating the stall which Josh had argued at earlier.
"Okay, what about eating, my dad and Hades and Zeus at birth and that kind of thing?" I asked. At last, after two thousand years of mythology, we will finally discover why he didn't just chop them into a bunch of pieces and throw the pieces off a mountain.
"Hey, that was self defense." said Kronos. "An in vain kind of thing but still. And the mythological people got it wrong. I didn't eat them and they came out unscathed after Zeus rescued them, that's fucking ridiculous. I absorbed their essence into a diamond just like the one in my sarcophagus, and kept them alive in a stasis. When Hades and Poseidon and Hera and Demeter's power strengthened me, I was the most powerful being in existence. But then Zeus happened. To defeat me." said Kronos.
"It is." said Alex. "But shouldn't we be beating the shit out of each other right about now?" asked Alex.
"Wait, Alex is on your side?" I thought.
"Well, duh, he wants Zeus to go down too. See, the second me and Zeus win, it will be an epic battle between the two of us for the true prize of ruling all. And more importantly Percy, I walked upon Olympus." said Kronos.
"Well, so did I, don't get all high and...oh shit." I thought. "If you walked on Olympus tehn the titans..
"The titans are free. And under Zeus's command. Now, you must choose Persues, do you choose me, or Zeus. For in truth, that is the only option who exists. The titan lord versus the lord of the gods." said Kronos.
"Wait, if he knew you were going to betray him, why did he bring you back?" I asked.
"Because, he wanted me to walk on Olympus and bring the titans back. I did. I thought they would side with me. But they didn't. Zeus is far more persuasive than you will ever know. In truth, only Letos has sided with us, but he is currently on a very important mission for me." said Kronos.
"Yes, we should." said Zeus. "Shall we have a warm up first?"
"Hey why is he stalling too?" I asked.
"He wants to ready his forces in an attempt to kill us all. But what he doesn't know is that Hades and Artemis are secretly dealing with them as we speak. Let's watch!" said Kronos.
"So." I said, attempting to figure out what was going on. "I get to be the champion of a guy who can barely keep himself from falling apart, and I have the chance of getting killed if I seem slightly weak?" I asked.
"You can not see any true objections to serving me? I, unlike Zeus is mercifull. Zeus chains those who help him to rocks, or makes them hold up the whole freaking planet, but I, all I will to I limit you computer access" said Kronos. Well, that might be slightly worse, but, wait, what am I saying?
"I do have one big objection." I said. "If we work together, I will also work with Luke. Which meanse Annabeth will be exposed to him as well. How the hell am I supposed to fight his hair?"
"I will get you highlights." said Kronos. "Now, do you wish to be part of the deadly alliance? The one in which everyone god you trust is in?" asked Kronos.
" This is probably stupid, but I like your style, so I'm in." I said, with the sense of conviction.
