Disclaimer: Me no own PJO (cries). I'm trying to make this story a different from other Chaos stories so bear with me… there is a plot. This chapter is a little short but I promise the next ones will be longer. Promise.

Chapter 1

It had been a year, a whole year since the saviour of Olympus had disappeared. The gods couldn't find a single trace of him and despite worldwide man hunts by the satyrs, demigods and the hunters of Artemis scouring the wilderness not a single clue had been found.

A whole year people were ridden with guilt. Poseidon thought he had failed his son and took his anger and guilt out on the oceans. Sally was devastated and quit her novel to grief for her lost son. The entire occupants of Camp Half Blood felt shame at their unexplainable actions, they missed their leader but above all they missed their friend. But the worst was Annabeth Chase.

She prayed to every god out there to bring her back her boyfriend, she prayed for his safe return every night. Her prayers were never answered. People tried to comfort her and help her through her stage of grief – to no avail. She wasn't the fun-loving smart girl everyone knew and loved (even feared!) instead she was empty, never laughing, never participating demigod who was as lifeless as a medusa victim.

It was the day of the summer solstice and everyone was preparing for a meeting at Camp Half Blood – and the main talking point was Percy Jackson. Everyone settled down and took their places on the mossy grass and waited anxiously for the gods to arrive. No one dared utter a word and break the silence or for that matter make eye contact with Annabeth. Everybody knew not to annoy her when it came to Percy and to possibly get a knife to the throat.

The Olympian gods materialised before them as regular size human beings, their faces sombre and anxious (even Aphrodite who was usually quite chipper) looked distraught.

"Demigods" Zeus addressed the camp "We are here to address the matter of our missing Hero Percy Jackson. Has there been any sort of breakthrough on this case?" he asked. Hesitantly Grover stood up, bowing to the gods respectively before turning back to Zeus.

"I'm afraid not Lord Zeus. We've searched all across America and reached Europe but there's still no sign of P. " Grover bleated out, tearing up at the name of his best friend.

"Nothing at all? Not even a twitch from the empathy link?" Zeus boomed out looking expectantly at Grover but his whole demeanour deflated when Grover sadly shook his head.

"No. I can't feel or sense Percy anywhere, it's as if he is de…" but he trailed off as he choked up, looking sadly at Annabeth before sitting back down and chewing nervously on his tin can.

Zeus turned to his daughter, smiling slightly at the sight of her.

"Daughter, have you and the hunters come across any news on Percy Jackson?" he asked more politely this time. Thalia stood up and straightened her clothes, tucking loose strands of her jet black hair behind her ears.

"No father there has been no news. We have hunted monsters that might've known something about Percys' disappearances but all the leads have fallen through. We haven't picked up any signs of him anywhere in Europe. It's as if he's disappeared off the face of the earth" Thalia muttered the last part, her crystal blue orbs sparkling with unshed tears as she glumly sat down next to the hunters.

Zeus turned to Hades who had appeared out of the shadows with his son Nico by his side, both looking equally depressed.

"Hades, please tell me you know something about Perseus Jackson" Zeus practically pleaded, desperate for news about the hero that saved Olympus. Granted at first Zeus hated the spawn but he grew on him like fungus, he was a brave demigod and Zeus had sworn he would find him.

"No sign anywhere in the underworld or Tartarus. If he is dead his soul is not in my realm" Hades spoke but as soon as he said that Annabeth whipped her head around and glared furiously at Hades, eyes shooting daggers at the god of the underworld.

"Percy is not dead" she exclaimed angrily "And he would NOT be in Tartarus. He is a good person so don't you dare propose such a ridiculous idea" she finished her rant and her cheeks were flushed with rage and her stormy grey eyes were shining with anger that even Hades flinched.

"I was just going over all the possibilities. We want to overturn every stone" Hades tried to defend himself before Zeus held up his hand for silence.

"Not now Hades. Poseidon have you found anything underwater, can you sense your son?" he asked softly, understanding how grief stricken his brother was for the loss of his child.

Poseidon merely looked up sadly at his brother speaking so quietly people had to strain their ears to hear him.

"No. Nothing. I can't sense my son at all" and when he said that the seas went wild and mini hurricanes spread across America. No one – not even Zeus – denied him this time to grieve.

Zeus nodded before addressing the camp as a whole, disappointed at the lack of progress of Percy.

"As we know Gaia is rising and more monsters are escaping Tartarus and forming an army against us. But we know now that the Giants are awakening and joining Gaia. We must act before the army gets too big and cut down as many monsters as possible to reduce the threat. Do we all agree?"

Every single demigod, satyr and god nodded their head in agreement to Zeus.

"You must train and train hard. Make sure you know how to wield a sword and know the monsters weak spots, if we do this we may stand a chance."

"Not without Percy we won't" Nico muttered quietly and everyone turned to look at him. He swallowed nervously before speaking.

"What? I'm just saying what everyone is thinking. The world would've been destroyed a year and a half ago if it wasn't for Percy" Nico stated before disappearing back into the shadows, leaving everyone speechless.

Annabeth started getting emotional so Zeus cleared his throat – breaking the tense silence.

"Well um… keep training and we will keep you updated on our progress" Zeus stated before materialising out. The others followed him except for Poseidon. He gazed sadly at cabin 3, tears forming in his sea green eyes. He turned to face the camps who were watching him sadly.

"We'll find him. I will not fail him again" he stated before disappearing in a funnel of water vapour, disappearing back to his palace.

The demigods slowly stood up and retreated back the way the way they came – none the wiser on the situation with Percy. Annabeth glumly strode toward the Poseidon cabin and climbed on top of the bed, hugging Percys' pillow to her chest.

She had failed Percy. She didn't know how or even why she acted the way she did for months but she was determined to put it right. I'll find you Seaweed brain, was Annabeths last conscious thought before she drifted off to sleep.

WITH PERCY!

Percy began to sweat as Chaos ordered him to do another two hundred push ups on the spot. He knew this was going to help him in the future but right now he felt like collapsing on the spot – and preferably taking a shower.

But he pushed on every push up making his muscles scream and his head to pound. After what felt like an eternity pushing his body weight Chaos ordered him to stop and gave him a hand up.

"Well Percy, you defiantly are improving I must say" Chaos commented smiling slightly. Percy nodded and was about to walk off when Chaos grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to turn around.

"Actually Percy I have an assignment for you" Chaos commented and forced Percy to sit down on a chair.

"Another monster?" Percy asked tiredly. Chaos had sent him out on thousands of monster hunts all around the world claiming it to be 'beneficial'. And on quite a few he had almost been spotted by Thalia that good for nothing daughter of Zeus.

"Actually no Percy, I'm sending you and team 13 down to Camp Half Blood. With Gaia's forces becoming more profound every day they need you as back up."

Percy was speechless. Chaos wanted him to go back there to the place he swore he would never return to. He wanted Percy to go back to the people that had made his life hell and abandoned him. Percy had changed – he knew he had changed. He wasn't the caring, loyal, funny seaweed brain anymore, that Percy had died a long time ago. Now Percy was cold, uncaring, unforgiving and a demon at fighting… it was like he had no soul at all.

Well with staying for Chaos for a whole year a fighting to the death every day, it changes a person. And Percy was defiantly changed, he hated the gods but above all he HATED that camp and all then puny demigods inside.

"What?" Percy roared glaring furiously at Chaos with a little bit of shock as well. He thought Chaos understood his predicament, how he knew Percy could never face the ones that broke him.

"Calm down young one." Chaos requested but all Percy saw was blind rage.

"No, absolutely not. Not ever." He exclaimed wildly.

"Perseus Jackson, I know how much you hate it there but you must stick it out. The fate of the world depends on it. Now I suggest you, what's the term? 'suck it up', and complete your task or else I'll have no use left of you" Chaos said staring into Percys' eyes.

Percy didn't know what to do. He absolutely LOATHED every single one of them, especially Annabeth – the one person he thought he trusted had betrayed him.

"So Perseus Jackson… what will it be" Chaos demanded.

Percy knew he had no choice. He had to do what Chaos wanted no matter how much he despised it.

"Fine" he answered curtly, stuffing his hands in his pocket "I'll go". Chaos smiled and grabbed Percys' elbow.

"Well, we better get you ready then" he said and dragged Percy to the armoury fitting him with weapons and defence. Exactly one hour later Percy was boarding a flying ship that was set sail to Camp Half Blood. He shook his head before muttering a few curse words in ancient greek.

This was not going to be fun.

So chapter one is done. I will make the next chapters longer (hopefully). Next Chapter = Percy returns to CHB… dun dun dun.

Reviews? It would be really nice if you did…
