Piper was torn between running up and hugging Percy Jackson, the man she hadn't seen in so many years and the Saviour of Olympus- twice- and standing there, acting professional since she was after all, the Peacemaker and Chaos was standing right next to her, staring at her intently as if reading her mind.

Percy waved, his throat suddenly choked at the sight of her. "H-Hey," he said before mentally kicking himself. That's all he has to say? He's been worried sick and all he can say is hey? Dumb.

Piper cleared her throat, still staring at him, not understanding if what she was seeing was real or if it was just another dream she usually has once a week of seeing someone back from her old life. But then the thought of Bailey came up and she knew it wasn't a dream. As much as she loved her, she wouldn't have been in this dream. "W-What are you doing here?" she asked, biting her lip and trying to avoid looking in those sea green eyes that were watching her almost as intently as Chaos.

He looked the same...but different. He had grown taller- still a head taller than what Piper had grown and his hair was a little longer, covering his eyebrows now. It was the same messy, black hair that he had back when they were kids. But you could definitely sense the change in his maturity and his body. His muscles were more definite and his voice was deeper, his features more set in and it looked like a five o'clock shadow was appearing on his chin.

They had both aged. Piper with her longer hair and more...girlish body. Percy with his voice and musclar body. Being in a couple wars and even more desputes did that to someone. Not to mention their hertiage. But it seemed as if they were the same people, only looks being different.

"Well you see," Chaos started, bringing both of them out of admiring the other and Piper's millions of questions going through her head. He walked over to the TV above the fireplace and tapped a square at the bottom left hand corner to bring up a touch screen of different choices. "Uh, Andromeda Galaxy, Bode's Galaxy, Cartwheel Galaxy, Cigar Galaxy, Comet Galaxy, Hoag's Object, Pinwheel Galaxy,Sombrero Galaxy, Sunflower Galaxy, Supernova Factory, Tadpole Galaxy, Whirpool Galaxy. Ah, yes, here we are. Milky Way Galaxy."

"Lo- er, Chaos, sir, what's going on?" Piper wondered, finally tearing her eyes off Percy to look at him select the galaxy that she most visited.

He held up a finger as he searched through the planets, selecting Earth. She swore her heart stopped for a moment. "Well, you see, Piper, darling," he continued, biting his lip as he scanned the groups of people never agreeing with each other. "There has been a problem on Earth and," he took a deep breath, getting ready for that explosion..."You need to go."

"Sir, you said," she pleaded, a frown coming to her lips. "Why can't Bailey or another Peacekeeper go?"

"Because you're a Peacemaker and the gods never have any peace to keep." He clicked on said gods and ushered both of them to sit. "Please, I'll explain."

Piper clenched her fists before sitting next to Percy who was still watching her. "Are you okay?" he whispered as they both looked up to Chaos's back, not able to see what he was selecting anymore.

Piper shook her head, but watched as Chaos stepped back and a chair materalized from the fireplace and from the flames emerged a regular recliner. "Just hear me out here, Piper," he said, sitting in the chair and looking at the pair. "I'll show you the clip first and then we'll talk about Mr. Jackson's presence." He snapped his fingers and the lights went out, nothing being able to be seen. Both of them jumped at the sound of a large boom and Piper found herself clutching to Percy's hand. He squeezed her hand and an explosion filled the room, a fire appearing at the top right of the room. The two gripped each other's hands and Piper gulped.

"Father, stop this!" a voice that Piper could never forget filled the room as a transluent Athena came into view, the room becoming the Throne Room with a fuming Zues standing across from a glaring Poseidon, lightning bolt in hand.

"You dare have your daughter cross into my territory?" Zues boomed, a lightning flash and thunder rumble bouncing off the room and making Piper jump and tighten her hold on Percy's hand.

"She was on a chariot to save your son!" Poseidon snapped, his trident glowing.

"My son was perfectly capable of saving himself! First you try and steal my bolt-"

"For the millionth time, I did not try anything!"

"Father!" Athena yelled, putting her hands on Zues's chest bravely. "Stop this!"

"Move away Athena," Poseidon ordered calmly, his white knuckles loosening only a little.

Athena opened her mouth to say something when Zues hissed, "Daughter, move."

She shook her head. "Father, this is not solving anything."

Zues pointed his lightning bolt at her, not realising what he was doing in his rage. "Move."

She looked fearfully on the bolt. "Father-"

"I said move!" he roared, flashing the bolt dangerously at her.

Poseidon dropped his trident and barreled across the room, pushing Athena out of the way and absorbing the shock, landing on the floor with a thud, smoke coming off his singed clothes, his body a new blackened colored and the blood of the gods flowing out of a deep gash on his chest. His hand fell down to the ground and his eyes closed, a shaky breath coming from his lips.

The room went silent for a few seconds before the room went black just as Athena gasped from her spot on the ground next to him. They sat in silence, Percy's hand shaking slightly in Piper's as she swallowed back her tears. "Do not worry, Poseidon is still alive," Chaos announced as the lights went back to normal and he came back into view. "But his spirit is fading down to the Underworld with the passing seconds. Both Ascelpius and Apollo are working to revive him."

"He'll be okay, right?" Percy asked, trying to keep his voice from breaking. Sure his dad and him weren't always on the best terms, but he was still his dad.

Chaos nodded. "That he will. Piper, dear, do you see why you must go? You are a Peacemaker. You make peace among people and that is your job before World War IV breaks out and the gods have to choose sides."

Piper bit her lip. "When do I leave?"

"Now, now, dear, we still have certain matters to discuss." He gestured to Percy. "Mr. Jackson is here on my being. I figured if you saw someone that, er, mattered to you in your past life," Piper blushed lightly. "then you would be more willing to travel to Earth. He might be able to make you stay at Camp where you would be able to work with Bailey and keep peace among the campers who are uneasy and already choosing sides. Isn't that right, Mr. Jackson?"

Percy nodded. "So you see, Piper, you are needed more than on any other mission I have sent you on," Chaos went on, folding his hands in his lap. "And as for your promise," he smiled sadly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I always knew you would have to go back."

"So you knew all along?" Piper asked, a small hint of hurt in her voice. "You lied to me all these years?"

He sighed and studied the coffee table before him. "Yes, but that does not mean I don't love you like my own. I was keeping you from harm, I guess you could say."

"But this," she gestured to the room. "This is hurting me when I find out that you've been lying to me this whole time."

Percy squeezed her hand, Chaos's face becoming sad. "Trust me, I know. Though, I always kept your feelings in mind, my dear. I knew that you would be the only one to solve a problem of this extent. I just couldn't tell you before you were ready or else it would have changed your trust in me and the outcome of the deal."

"The deal was that I would never have to go back there!" her voice softened, "You know what they did to me."

Percy flinched, remembering the day she left. Chaos nodded and let out a long breath, looking up at his young trainee. "That's why I'm sending you back. Not only have you need to create peace in the Olympic Council, you need to create peace inside yourself. This could be for the better, my dear."

Piper bit her lip. "I have no intent on talking to anyone from my past-" Percy swore his heart dropped. "-except for the few that were my friends throughout everything."

"Piper, this is an order," Chaos narrowed his eyes at her slightly. "You will go to Earth with Mr. Jackson and your team. You will work and make peace in the Council, you will face Mr. Grace and Ms. Reyna. You will try to make peace with them and within both Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood. But mostly, you will not hold a grudge. I taught you better than that.

"Mr. Jackson will be assigned as your temporary member of your team until you make the decision of wanting him permanently or not and he accepts. I do not expect you to mold back in immediately, but you will do so eventually. You will start at Camp Jupiter since they're more used to civilized decisions and it might not be so hard. They may not know of the problems on Olympus and if they do not, go straight to Camp Half-Blood. There you will talk to the campers first before then heading to Olympus where you will try to make peace.

"A cabin will be addressed for me at all places and you, your team, and Mr. Jackson are required to rest, make plans, and associate there. No one will be allowed in without your permission and it will be activated by your ring. I'll be sure to fit Mr. Jackson with one of his own. It will most likely take you less than a week at Camp Jupiter, but at Camp Half-Blood, it will take longer and the most time at Olympus. I expect you to do your duties well, Piper. Fight for the right cause, but hear both sides of the argument.

"Mr. Jackson, I expect you to keep Piper out of danger at all times and to accompany her into the meetings. I want you to keep her safe," his face softened. "I trust you will do that for me."

Percy nodded. "I will, sir."

"You two are scheduled to leave tomorrow morning at daybreak so that you will be back at Earth before anything drastic can happen. From this time until then- after I return Mr. Jackson to you- he will stay in your room since we have no occupiances in your wing at the moment. Though he will stay in the guest portion," he sent a stern look to both of them that had them blushing.

"You are not to harm the campers in any way and hiding your identity is a choice that's up to you. The only ones that would know are Mr. Jackson and your team. Now, are there any questions?"

Piper bit her lip in thought, trying to think of anything else she needed to know. When she came up with nothing, she shook her head. "No Lor- er, Chaos."

He clapped his hands together with his usual cheerful smile. "Good. Now, Piper you may return to your normal activities while I get Mr. Jackson fitted for weapons and such, but once I'm done with him, you may show him around. Remember, tonight we are all having dinner on the roof. All of us."

Piper nodded and stood up, slipping her hand out of Percy's and blushing when she did so, not remembering that they had held hands throughout the whole thing. She left the room and went to the elevator before letting out a sigh she had been holding in since the beginning. She clicked on the 15th floor and once it opened up to that level after many stops along the way, she walked down the hall and knocked on Bailey's room.

It took a couple minutes and a couple knocks before an extremely tired looking Bailey opened the door and glared at her. "What?" she snapped, rubbing her eye as she did so, leaning on the doorframe.

"We're going to Earth," Piper replied.

Bailey's eyes snapped open as they drifted shut. "What?" she shrieked, pulling Piper into her room. "What do you mean, Earth? I thought that only newbies went there, for you know, training!"

Piper sighed and collapsed on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. "The gods are starting World War IV. I have to make peace with them."

"And I'm going because...?"

"We have to make peace at Camp."

"You mean, the Camp you told me about? That one?"

"Both."

"Woah, woah, I thought Chaos promised you!"

Piper nodded. "So did I, but apparently I need to be- and I quote, 'in peace with myself.'"

"So we're going to make peace three different places?"

Piper gave a bitter smile. "That's not all."

"Oh come on, what?"

"I have to talk to Jason and Reyna-"

"What? No!"

"-and Percy came."

"You mean the one that saved Olympus like three hundred times?"

Piper bobbed her head. "He's going to come with us."

"Are you freaking kidding me?"

She held up a finger. "Wait for it...he's staying in my room."

Bailey burst into laughter making Piper frown and look over at her. "Well it's obvious," she explained through giggles, laying with her. "Chaos has offically gone crazy."

Piper snorted and looked at the ceiling again. "I'm with you on that one."

"So Earth huh?"

"Yep."

"This is going to be a fucking adventure."

I know, I know. You all hate me. But hey, this is an extra long chapter and I may even give you another one. I could give you excuses and excuses, but really I'm just going to blame it on my writer's block. I had an idea and everytime I went to type it down or whatever, it flew out of my head and never returned the same, but I managed to piece a few tidbits together.

So the galaxies is all off and if it's wrong, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry for the OOCness on this chapter and grammar or whatever.

The World War IV thing...yes, there was a major war in the few thousand years that Piper was a Peacemaker so this would be the fourth one. I don't really have any ideas on the fourth world war, all I know is that it would be a pretty horrific war.

Love it? Hate it? Tell me about it(:
