Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson.

Percy went to sleep, and when he slept he dreamt that he was running through the forest. He remembered the words, "you will find her dead among the greek campers." He came through and there he saw tents and out in the battle field was Thalia. Dead. He screamed in sorrow, and as he was coming forward to say his last goodbye when a circle of very hostile archers surrounded him. That day he swore that he would get revenge on the greeks no matter the cost.

Percy woke up overcome with grief, then confusion. Thalia died a long time ago, but seeing her dead was difficult. Who was this person that seemed to know her? He had to see annabeth, but that would have to wait. First he had to go and address the Titan army.

Just before sun-up he went out of the camp borders. "I am Percy Jackson son of Poseidon. In order to prevent further affusion of blood call forth your greatest warrior to battle single combat in the meadow west of this battlefield. If you win consider this camp surrendered. If I win you will retreat back to Kronos awaiting his scrutiny. You have until noon to produce a champion, or retreat to Kronos."

The monsters and the demigods of Kronos were angry. "Percy Jackson has been dead for a hundred years. He was a powerful demigod, but you are not Percy Jackson, and you are not as powerful as him either."

If Percy Jackson is dead, then perhaps you should consider how it is that the dead are walking." After those words Percy returned into the camp borders.

Now he needed to find Annabeth. He went to the Athena cabin, but no one was in there. It turns out they were already working on the camps defenses. Eventually he found her huddled with a group of five people looking over a map discussing strategy. He ran over to them. "Annabeth, can I talk to you?"

She scowled then left the group. "Don't you need to be training?"

He looked at her, "Yes but this might be important."

"Alright, what is it?"

"I had a dream last night about a demigod. I dreamed that he knew that Thalia was going to die and he was running desperately to find her before she died, to save her. He found her dead. He thinks that the greeks killed her. He sees the hunters of Artemis and they surround him, he escapes but swears to get revenge on the greeks. Do you know what that means, or who he is?"

It was an interesting story but she had no idea why he would want revenge on greeks. What was that supposed to even mean? "I don't know Percy, but you really should be training. I heard your challenge, you should not have spoken for all of us."

"Can you at least tell me the events that took place on the day of Thalia's death?"

"We were fighting an army of around 700 monsters and demigods. We were cutting down their forces rather quickly, but the only person that they seemed to be focused on was Thalia. They killed her and as quickly as they had come, they retreated. We would have gone after them, but Thalia was dead. We needed to give respect to the dead." A look of realization came to her. "Just as we were going to say goodbye, a demigod charged from the forest screaming. We surrounded him and he made attacked making a hole in our line and he escaped. We never saw him again. Percy maybe this is your demigod. I don't know how he knew Thalia, I'd never seen him before, but that is the only demigod who came after Thalia died."

It was getting close to the time that he was to battle this champion and he still hadn't been to the arena to train. He knew that he needed to get some practice in because he didn't even know if he was any good with a sword. He knew he would win because he had been using his powers regularly for a hundred years, but he didn't think that the monsters and demigods would actually return to kronos. He really needed this battle to last as long as possible to give these heroes time to recover, and make some renovations to their defense. He walked into the arena and uncapped riptide. It was a good thing that he went to get some practice in because he was really rusty. A camper, a son of Ares entered the arena and practiced with Percy.

Meanwhile in the titan army their leader was clueless about this Percy Jackson.

I had never heard of him, but many of these demigods and monsters knew him. Many of my soldiers were discussing who should fight this fraud that called himself Percy Jackson. I came out to speak with them. "My brothers, I will be fighting Percy Jackson, but tell me what makes him so special?"

A monster came out from among the soldiers. "Percy Jackson is a son of Poseidon one hundred years ago. He was the most powerful demigod to fight Kronos. He was responsible for re-imprisoning Atlas, but he also was responsible for creating an earthquake strong enough to release Typhon (A/N I don't remember which titan it was) before he died. He killed Medusa, among others and it was said that he fought Ares god of war and won."

This guy did sound pretty strong, but not stronger than me. I wonder why he has been out of commission for the past hundred years.

SO I was going to make this chapter of Percy's battle with the champion, but there were some things that I needed to put in here. Let me know if you like it. It might be obvious who the champion is, but I want there to be a little suspense before you find out who he is.
