Chapter Nine

Meeting the "brothers"

Perseus POV:

It had been about five centuries since Amelia and I have entered the mortal world. At first we were going to just sit by, kill monsters, and hunt for food 'till the time was right to show our selves to the gods albeit under false identities, however there have been some people we just couldn't handle. For example it's about 1725 A.D. and we have witnessed rulers rise and fall. We have seen good rulers, bad rulers, hateful rulers, insane rulers, and outright EVIL rulers. My patience was wearing thin.

I had stood by so far and my father had told me I couldn't intervene on the mortal world until the 20th century. However I was still going to make a difference.

"Amelia, stay here and defend camp I'll be back in a week at most." I said to Amelia as I got prepared to take flight. "Percy, where are you going?" The girl asked. "Well I'm going to Atlantis as Poseidon was the most loyal to me during the Titanomachy and the time after and I believe I should talk to him as to learn more as to what Olympus is currently doing and what parts they play in this. However I will also go speak to Hades in the Underworld when I return as I must learn where his loyalties lie considering that Kronos is in the pit which only he has access to." I explained to my apprentice. We had grown close over the years and although we were still mainly friends with benefits with one under the other's control she had became an apprentice to me and I'd grown protective of her. I didn't want to leave her alone although I knew that the only threat to her here would be the Nemean lion or Zeus. "Okay just come back safely." Was all she said as I rocketed off into the sky with three flaps of my huge wings.

I flapped all five pairs to gain altitude up to twelve miles up just in the Troposphere while using my powers to block Zeus from taking notice to my intrusion into his domain. I flew over the Aegean sea and used my powers over liquid to sense the magnificent underwater city that is Atlantis.

I sensed the city just to the North of Crete.

I pulled all my wings into my back but the smallest pair allowing me to slowly decrease in speed as I circle Atlantis. Once I had gone down to about two hundred miles per hour I tucked in all my wings and accelerated from twelve miles up and increased in speed until I met Terminal Velocity (the point at which the downwards force of gravity equals the restraining force of drag... what percentage of you guys doesn't care at all about that?) as I descended upon the City of Atlantis I had realized that while I descended I forgot to continue shielding myself from Zeus's eyes and just as I noticed that my hair spiked up.

"Dammit." I simply said as I formed the purest water I could from the Atmosphere and spread it out over me making the electricity from my adoptive little brother spread out through the water effectively blocking it from hitting me. Then I caught the weapon it was de electrified for a mere moment before it began sparking up again. I merely cloaked my presence once more before launching the bolt full force straight for Zeus as to give him his toy back.

I was hoping to evade him until the war that will threaten humanity however now he will assume something so I must stay incognito and not give him any reason to suspect something out of the ordinary for them.

I pulled my final set of wings back inside my back and went straight down through the Ocean. After about forty five seconds of liquid control I dropped onto the sandy sea floor about twenty yards from the gates of Atlantis. I saw a Cyclopes guard on the left and right.

They both wore royal blue Atlantean style armor, which looks like Ancient Greek Athenian armor although made out of Atlantean Coral.

The one on the right pointed his spear at me which was a dark blue color while his shield was a circular shield made of the same material as the spear and armor with the symbol of a Hippocampi on it. "Halt" he said to me in a commanding yet at the same time questioning voice as I didn't look like the normal sea dweller what with my armor and weapons adorning my figure along with my imposing stature of seven feet four inches. "Who are you and what are you doing on Atlantean territory." He finished.

The one on the left raised his spear as well and I decided that I should take the diplomatic approach. "My name is Percy" Hmmm, what's a good last name for me to use... "Jackson, Percy Jackson is my name." I said to the guards with a straight face.

They looked at me and lowered their spears but were still quite tense. "Why have you came?" the one on the left asked me in a far more relaxed tone.

"I have merely came to speak to Lord Poseidon on a very important topic that is disclosed." I said and getting tired of the situation used my powers to make them let me pass.

"You may pass." they both said at the same time and the gates opened.

Poseidon's palace: 3rd person pov:

Perseus or as his new nickname that Amelia had given him 'Percy' walked up the steps to the Palace of Poseidon he got many lustful looks from the females and many jealous looks from the males. He had changed his armor to be dark blue and he had "Dark Justice" in sword form at his side in it's sheath with his shield on his left arm and his spear across his back. He had made it a habit of carrying his weapons out of their concealed form whenever around divine beings as if they are not and he must draw a weapon it causes far too many questions.

He had just gotten through the doors to the palace and was approaching the throne room when he heard voices.

"My Lord, you must understand that it has been a long time since Greece fell and the last place you still had worshipers was the Byzantine Empire but they worshipped Neptune, you Roman form and with a lack of worshipers you must follow the heart of the West just like the rest of the gods and you using your powers to keep Atlantis here will weaken you until you fade." I heard a voice say. The voice was high pitched like a woman and I could sense genuine concern in her voice and no lies so this must mean that Poseidon is not taking to kindly to the whole "Heart of the West thing" but then I realized that the woman's voice I remember. It's Hestia.

"Sister," Yup, definitely Hestia. "you must understand that I will eventually follow and go to the west but for now I am trying to hold on to the place where it all happened." Poseidon said with sadness evident in his voice.

"Poseidon, you realize he is still out there right? He's just banished from Greece and once you move to the west you'll be able to meet him again as he was only banished from Greece in all technicality." At this point I was sad as I was the reason for my brother to stay and slowly fade however Hestia's logic isn't flawed and I could follow if that curse still effected me however that big dick in the sky doesn't have any control over me now. So, I decided to intervene.

"Yes, Hestia is right however I can be with you wherever you go. Although I would recommend you follow your family as I will be as well. Also you must learn that I came here with a request." They just looked at me shocked and questioningly while Poseidon gripped his Trident.

"Who are you!?" Poseidon questioned/bellowed.

I smirked a bit. "Well my name is Perseus, however I go by Percy more nowadays." I merely stated and it took a second for them to figure out before I was squeezed from both sides by a buff Olympian and a surprisingly strong goddess in a seven year old form. I was surprised that they believed that it was me so quickly but whatever, less explaining from me.

Within a few seconds though they were both looking at me with stern expressions which is slightly unnerving from Poseidon but just plain funny on Hestia. You see Hestia and I had a different relationship than my other adoptive brothers and sisters. She was more of a daughter to me. I never showed it on the battlefield however when we were inside I'd always help her pick clothes, I helped her learn to fight with her daggers, hunting knives and her sword, I had always shooed off the minor gods that wanted her and had warned Zeus to stay away when he wanted a weird fantasy of raping an eight year old little girl to be fulfilled by Hestia and I was the one to keep him at bay and that was when I taught him how to respect women and that they aren't play things. Oh gosh, I'm such a hypocrite now. We had gone through a lot together as the first Titanomachy was fought.

However my relationship with Poseidon was that of a big brother. I taught him how to use his aquakenesis abilities to their finest and how to turn a Trident into the perfect anti sword or anti shield weapon. I had taught him how to spin it to catch a spear thrust on the inner tine and spin effectively either breaking the opponent's arm, wrist, spear, or disarming them depending on how fast they are. I had taught him all about the trident/weighted net combo, everything. He was my favorite although I focused on Zeus when training as I knew he would be king so I had to make sure he was a good and powerful one. He took the power and used it immensely but it turns out that my attempts to make him a good king failed miserably although I personally don't think that Hera and I would make a good couple I personally believe that I would do better with a harem as Eros warned me that I will grow to love many women.

I knew I would have to explain everything to these two as I believe that Poseidon would be great assistance in the long run as to stay incognito but still help Olympus against Kronos when he rises once more.

"Poseidon, Hestia. I know that you are confused and probably don't fully believe your eyes but yes, it is I, Perseus. Now before you ask how, and why I am here along with where I've been I will answer for you. First, I am here as I am far above Olympus's power. Second I am here because I need to talk to you and explain what's going to go on. And third I was somewhere you have never ever been, and I have been training.

After that I explained all that happened so far and summoned Amelia with all of our gear as Poseidon has offered to house us for a while. Now I'm on to explaining what's going on and what will go on, and finally what I plan on doing.

"You see, I plan on imitating a super powerful demi-god preferably a son of Poseidon with a few blessings to explain a few of my powers, now this doesn't mean I will choose Olympus in the war. It's a long ways away and as that said demi-god I will choose which side I fight for. Now I must speak to Hades but I will answer any questions you have." After about a day and a half of straight explaining, summoning of my pupil and a bit of proving my powers and everything also a bit of wings. I had to show them everything like for example my water, electricity etc. powers. I also had to show them my wings which resulted in an ecstatic Hestia and a clearly jealous Poseidon.

"You see I am going to simply hunt for a while after I leave here so I'll try to meet this Artemis then if I do or if I don't I will visit Hades for the same conversation that I am having with you two.'

Poseidon broke out of his shocked stare first. "Okay, we understand. And when the time comes," he gripped his trident firmly, raised it up then brought it down causing an earthquake to happen in the Pacific. "I'll be ready to do the plan, and I'll help you kill the bastards that end up rebelling."

Underworld: Five days later Perseus Pov"

After I explained everything to Poseidon and Hestia I ended up staying in Atlantis with them for five more days before going to visit the darkest of the siblings, Hades.

As I stepped into the Underworld I was stopped almost immediately by a skeleton. After a moment's recognition and thinking I realized that it's Charon. Even though it's the 18th century I still remember all my training and schooling from the void which I sadly won't be seeing again for a very long time.

The boat driver spoke. "You're not dead." Was his incredibly blunt and obvious statement.

"I know but I want entrance to the Underworld." I replied with equal bluntness and deadpan. I knew that I would end up paying the skeleton a gracious sum of money however I decided to humor him a bit.

"Yes, I can tell. However I can't just allow anyone into the Underworld as you will probably bring someone back to life." He seemed to think for a moment before coming to a conclusion and smirking. At least that's what I think considering he is completely made of bones. Other than the slightly transparent body he uses. "Unless you can convince me."

'And there it is.' "Yes, okay I can do that." And without hesitation I summoned five thousand drachma to my endless pocket in the cloak of dark silk that I had turned my armor into. I had my Nemean lion fur under it in a linen wrap that I have covering all the places my armor didn't. However the skeleton wasn't focusing on my cloak or any of my very wealthy attire I could tell that he was trying to milk the obvious riches I had out of me.

I pulled out the bag and willed it to be made of the most expensive of linen thick enough to hold all five thousand coins.

I plopped the bag onto the desk and the skeleton peered inside. His face seemed split in two from the smirk it held. "Yes, I think this will do just nicely. And he turned the bag to shadows transporting it under his desk like thing as it was far too hard for him as a skeleton to carry with ease.

When I got over the river I waved to the skeleton who seemed to be obsessed with the currency.

Once I made sure no one was currently watching me from the fields or such I unfurled my wings and changed all of them into Stygian Ice. I wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible so I used my tiny little demigod level powers over shadows to mask myself and to look just like another shadow.

I used only two sets of wings and flew only twenty MPH under the sound barrier as to not make a sonic boom.

Once I saw the palace I stopped pumping my wings and got ready to glide in the last mile. I extended all five pairs of wings and altered them to point up and down as to act as a parachute to bring me from 450 mph down to 125 in a few seconds before I pumped the ones on the left and furled the right side wings around me effectively turning me into a 550 pound rifle bullet as I pumped my left wings again and again making me rotate twenty times a second before tucking all my wings around me as a shield.

I collided with the ground in front of Hades Palace and bore a hole about a mile deep before stopping. I looked around and realized I didn't slide like I'd hoped and I'd actually bored a hole into his ground... shit. I used my control over Earth to fill the hole back up as I slowly flew out of the little cavern I made as I filled it back up.

As I opened the palace doors to Hades Throne room I was already prepared to block the obvious spear that will come flying at me. I mean it is Hades sooooo...

Right as I fully opened the doors about three javelins were launched directly for my chest in exactly .84902 seconds. Heh, he's gotten better since I last trained him. However instead of getting wasted I merely tapped Blok in watch form which successfully turned into my trusty invincible shield and turned my cloak back into it's normal armor however I made it all black this time as to match the environment. I raised my shield and blocked the first two projectiles before catching the third and launching it right back at Hades.

The head of the Javelin caught Hades right on the cloak pinning him to the wall.

"Damn, we can never have a real conversation without you trying to kill me huh? Nothing's changed huh?" I said as if I'd been training Hades just last week.

The god of the Underworld just stared at me dumbfounded. He finally got a coherent sentence together. "YES! I knew it! I told those mother fuckers you never died. I told their gay asses, ahhhh it feels so good to be right. But wait how do I tell them... wait YOU'RE ALIVE!?" Apparently my old friend was slightly confused.

After giving hades the same talk as Poseidon and Hestia we had decided that it was best that I stay here for a bit as to catch up on some of the happenings I had missed while in the void. Now of course, I knew what had happened on Earth but sadly I don't know the actual inside story just like there are twelve Olympians, Hestia isn't one anymore and Hades' still off. Also Athena is still daddies little girl and apparently a bit more than a little girl now. Damn, what is it with Zeus and incest.

Time Skip: 3rd person pov:

"Wait Perseus, I have a gift for you." Hades said as he carried a quiver like bag although it could clearly shrink and it had one single javelin handle sticking out.

"Hmmmm, and what is that? Perseus said as he turned back to look at the god of the Underworld.

"Here, it's a pouch that you can put in your eternal pocket or you can string it over your back but it has fifteen javelins in there and they will return after forty minutes. And also they're made of mortal steel, and stygian iron. So they are very conductive of that lightning you love to use." Hades said to the Primal Titan of many things.

"I Perseus PrimalTitan of The Sky, Liquids, Water, Storms, Weather, Earthquakes, Ground, Shadow Lightning, and the heir to the sky, Adopted Son of Ouranos, and blood son of Iapetus accept your offering."

After that the bag glowed sky blue before stringing itself over the deity's shoulder hugging him hella tight. But before Hades could say anything or even let his chin hit the floor Perseus flashed out to the camp with Amelia.

Camp: 3rd person Pov:

As Amelia sat there in the camp waiting for Percy to return she heard some rustling in the woods and a flash of silver before she heard the twang of several bow strings and she leapt up dodging them all and tapping her ring summoning her shield and sword gifted to her by Perseus.

Just then several javelins left the forest and each of them hit an archer directly in the bow. Then a man jumped out of the trees and summoned a beautiful shield from tapping a silver and black watch on his left hand while willing his ring to turn into a pitch black spear that matches his pitch black armor and shield perfectly.

"Sorry, was visiting Hades, the colors work. And with that he sprung into battle dispatching the entire hunt in about fourteen seconds with no deaths but many unconscious teen girls and one goddess of the hunt and moon pushed up a tree with said spear holing her up by the throat and a beautiful shiny black scythe in his left hand held parallel to his shield which is on his arm.

"Now, you're going to tell me, why are you hunting me." He said to the goddess.

"I, we, ugh, unghh, we have orders male." The girl of about age fourteen choked out.

AN: Well guys that's a wrap. I wrote this in thirty minutes completely improve as I forgot to update this week and I'm gonna try to get in two updates a week now for a while as I've had shitty update speed so I'm sorry.

Also I'm gonna do answering review at the bottom of next chapter which should be about 7k words and it should get us into the current time then I'll start following the PJO timeline roughly.

Also I was wondering if you guys want me posting a second story too that I've got an idea for. I got the pilot chapter typed already as so that I don't forget the idea but it's basically a story where Percy's born just before the first Titanomachy to Iapetus, and Nyx, and he takes the fake identity of "Thanatos" as to not alert Zeus to a child of a Titan. And it will be updated painfully slowly until I finish the first arc of this story then I'll switch around things like this story twice a week then next week I'll only do that one but if you guys want two at a time I'll do it I'll just take a break for a bit and get a few chapter done as to not have to break schedule. Anyways that's a wrap.
