Enjoy!
I do not own PJO or the HoO series.
Chapter 5
3rd POV (Still at Olympus)
"Who were they?" Apollo asked. Nobody in Olympus knew, however Athena had a guess. "They said we will be annihilated by the Precursors. This information is something I need to research on." Athena said. "Hold on. You said the Precursors. Who are they exactly? They are beings before us probably more ancient than the primordial gods. But who are their successors?" Poseidon asked and a few gods were surprised how Poseidon was thinking. "Successors? The successors are either us or a different godly family. Something doesn't like the primordial gods like the Titans and us." Athena said. "We are dealing a very dangerous threat. We need Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter to combine. We all know that we need the Romans and Greek if we are to survive this threat. Hades and Poseidon could you will send a portion of your army to assist the demigods." Athena continued. "Gladly." Both of them said. "Dionysus, I want you to tell Chiron about this and inform him to train the demigods harder." Zeus said. Dionysus nodded and flashed away. "Artemis I'm afraid your hunters will have to stay at Camp Half-Blood for the recovery and training. Dismissed!" Zeus flashed away with thunder rumbling.
Precursor Commander POV
At last, the army has been organized. I shall let the weakest division attack first. "Commander, our scouts have been killed by the hero Perseus Jackson. Orders sir?" the lieutenant asked. "Send in the 5th division after him. While he is distracted, send all divisions to commence attack on Camp Half-Blood. Leave no survivors behind." I said. My golden sword glowed in the dark place known as Tartarus. The Precursors were immune to the pit's affect. We will march towards the doors of death and crush it. Death waits for everyone on the surface. No monster or Titan will ally with us, the Precursors have returned.
Percy POV
"Hey Percy, I'm starting to wonder if another war will be coming soon." Zoe said sitting near the camp fire. "If it is another war, it will be bloodiest then." I said. Zoe looked at me with one eyebrow rose. "What?" I kept on a poker face just to irritate her. "Nothing and will you stop putting on that face! I hate it!" Zoe said. I saw beside her and put my arm around her waist. "Is wittle Zoey angreh?" I teased. Zoe blushed and put her face against my chest. I chuckled. I remembered the times Annabeth and I had, I smiled sadly. "Percy, you look depressed what is it?" Zoe looked worried. "It's just… I remembered the memories I had back then. You said you saw everything on that day right?" I said and she nodded. "I felt so heartbroken and my heart was shattered and the memories I had with her felt so… Unreal." I felt a tear rolling on my cheek. Then I felt myself falling into Zoe's arms crying like a baby. I felt so fragile like glass or paper. "It's okay Percy. You're not alone. I'm here, it's okay to cry. But remember that the past is the past. You can't change it, look forward into the future." Zoe's words felt so strong and I looked in her silver eyes. Her eyes showed me that she was trying to look in my perspective and understand. I started getting tired and mumbled a "Thank you" before I fell asleep.
Zoe POV
I heard a thank you from Percy before he fell asleep. I never saw a man so heartbroken in my life. I put Percy lying down near the camp fire and searched around the area for any threats nearby. After I scanned the place I lied down beside him and snuggled closer to him. I was happy to have a man like him with me. My eyes were getting heavy and I drifted to sleep.
I woke up on Percy's chest and looked up. His sleeping face was so peaceful that last night didn't feel right. He was drooling from the corner of his mouth and I smiled at Percy. He's so cute and adorable. I thought. He was moving a bit and opened his eyes. We stared at each other for some time until Percy snapped out of it. "Um.. Good morning?" he said sheepishly. I shook my head at his childish act. "It's the afternoon dummy. Let's start getting some food." I said. He grinned and got up from the ground. "You bet." He said.
3rd POV (At Camp Half-Blood)
Several days have passed after the news of a threat rising. The Roman camp and the Greek camp reunited and started training like maniacs. The campers were able to push aside their guilty emotions and the Greek camp was once again filled with energy. Annebeth trained the hardest and she knew she made the mistake of cheating on Percy. She wanted to be at least his friend and gain his forgiveness.
Mark was no longer the egotistical brat that everyone once knew. He started to take responsibility of others and took up the leadership role. Poseidon was proud of his son and for a moment he forgot about Percy. As the 4th day came, the gods made a meeting at the amphitheater during the afternoon.
"Demi-gods! The battle of the Precursors is tomorrow, you've all trained hard but we are the current rulers of the world! Our flesh and blood will be together. This is our world and every living being in this world has the right to live to it's fullest! Our final battle may be our doom, but if it is then we'll give them a hell of a time to take us down!" Zeus shouted and the two camps cheered. "Everyone will be at Manhattan. We shall guard our thrones and our home." Poseidon said. "My army will be near the Empire State Building for a last stand." Hades said. "Remember demigods, know your enemy or succumb to every battle. Never underestimate your enemy." Athena warned and the gods flashed away for their preparations. "Campers, pack anything you need and meet at the hill." Chiron said and Lupa nodded.
Meanwhile…
Zoe and Percy were being ambushed by a group of armored soldiers. Percy slashed and fought with everything he had. He grabbed Zoe and sent a tidal wave destroying the soldiers and the forest. When the wave was gone, the area was flat with no trees standing. "Who were those guys?" Percy asked. "No…No… These soldiers.. They are from the Precursor army. Ouranos taught me about them. They must be attacking Olympus!" Zoe said. "We have to help them Percy! I know what they did was wrong. But they are your family." Zoe continued. Percy remained silent which made Zoe worried until he grinned. "I wasn't going to protest. Let's just finish this war." He said and walking past Zoe. She smiled with a joy of happiness. They both started heading toward New York to meet the others.
Precursor Commander POV
"Sir! The divisions have found the camps empty. They must've rallied in Manhattan." My lieutenant reported. The gods must be aware how big a threat we were. I was surprised that their pride didn't get in the way. "Send them to New York then. Kill anyone who gets in our way. Especially the mortals." I ordered. "Yes, my liege." He bowed and left. I started having pieces of silver armor with orange-yellow glowing lights around each piece. My mask only had two orange eyes while the rest was silver. I walked out of my cabin. It was time to get this war started….
A bit longer? I hope it was at least over 1k! Or enough to satisfy you! I'm always trying to conjure up some new ideas and put them on paper. REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
