Hello again! This is chapter 8, to be honest I have no idea how long the story will end up being but I hope you'll stick with me for this story and maybe any I write afterwards :)
To Dratsabguy, I re-read TTC and I get what you mean, I have gone over my past chapters in an attempt to improve them and I would really appreciate it if you guys (or girls) would read them and let me know what you think! Anyway, as always: reviews, constructive criticism and ideas are much appreciated. Flames will be laughed at, possible and probable OOC. Let me know what you think though Reviews, those things are awesome :)

"Percy, stop please" the same voice pleaded, Percy sensed a presence behind him and he spun, forcefully grabbing the person's throat thrusting them back, he advanced after them and vaguely got the impression of long blonde hair through the haze of anger that had engulfed him, he gripped the persons throat; pressing them into the sharp, glass-like stones that made up Tartarus' ground, Percy brought his fist back determined to punish the person who interrupted his revenge.

"Percy" the person whispered in fear "please"

.

Percy froze, his hand still around the persons neck, when he saw a pair of beautiful grey eyes looking up at him. Percy saw a angry red mark across her cheek from where he had hit her, with a jolt, Percy realised who the person was

"Oh my gods Anna, I'm so so sorry" he said, quickly releasing his hold on the girl's neck. He lowered his fist and Annabeth sat up coughing because her throat was slightly bruised from Percy's grip, Annabeth looked up and saw that the anger and hatred had disappeared from Percy's emerald eyes, regret and shame at his actions had filled them now.

"I'm so sorry Wise Girl" he repeated; the sincerity and regret obvious in his voice, he held out his hand to help the daughter of Athena to her feet

"It's alright Percy, I'm fine" Annabeth said; accepting his outstretched hand. Percy went to say something else, but he hesitated; that sixth sense that all demigods develop was screaming at him. Percy spun and saw that while he had been turned away, Kronos had worked the swords free and climbed to his feet; scythe in hand. The Titan King swung the scythe at Percy; all possible courses of action ran through the son of Poseidons mind in a heartbeat. He could block with his swords, wait no, they were out of reach. He could dodge the attack, but no, that would leave Annabeth in the scythes path. That left very few possibilities. Time seemed to slow for Percy, and Kronos had nothing to do with it, the scythe descended in slow motion. Percy stepped forward, inside the arc of the weapon; he reached up with both hands and caught the shaft of the scythe just below the blade. The force of the strike caused Percy to his knees, but Kronos was too surprised to press his advantage. Percy stood and spun, with the scythe still in his hands; Percy ripped the weapon from Konos' hands. Percy continued his spin and adjusted his grip on the scythe, Percy completed the spin and without a second thought; he buried the blade in the base of Kronos neck, driving it though the Titan's heart. The blade was so long that the tip protruded from Kronos' body at the hip. A stunned silence descended upon the group, the gods watched, as they had been watching everything: in a mixture of awe, shock and fear, as Percy released the scythe and Kronos fell, the sound of his body hitting the ground was the only thing to puncture the silence. Kronos body dissolved into dust until only his scythe remained

"The spoils of war" one of the gods, Ares maybe, muttered. Percy knelt and picked up the scythe. He gazed at it for a moment before turning to the gods, he walked over to Hephaestus, whose armour was currently walking back and melting back onto his body. Percy stood before the disfigured god

"A scythe isn't really my style, melt this down for me would you?" the son of Poseidon pushed the weapon into the blacksmiths hands, who simply smiled and nodded.

"Let's get the Hades out of here" he said loudly addressing the entire group

"Why does everyone use my name?" muttered the King of the Underworld

"Not without Bob and Damasen" Annabeth broke in

"Or Asterion" Percy added, at the sound of the name several of the gods' jaws dropped and Annabeth looked at Percy in confusion

"Asterion?" she asked

"Yeah, the guy saved my ass; and he held off an army while all you gods were just standing there" Percy said with a glare at said gods

"Hey I sent my automatons" protested Hephaestus

"And I sent some undead" added Hades

"Percy do you know who Asterion is?" asked Annabeth carefully

"He's the guy who saved my ass, and he is coming with us" Percy said forcefully

"Percy, he's-" began Annabeth

"I'm the Minotaur" a voice broke in, Asterion had made his way back up the hill and had joined them without anyone noticing

"What? You're the-" Percy couldn't quite wrap his mind around that concept

"Minotaur, yes" the former monster said "That's what I was going to tell you before Kronos sent his pets to fight us in the Arena" when Asterion said that the gods looked at each other in confusion

"What Arena?" asked Poseidon, his voice laced with concern

"When I was born my human name was Asterion" the huge man continued, ignoring Poseidon's interruption

"If you really are the minotaur than how the Hades are you human?" asked Percy

"Again with my name"

"Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe because you killed me down here in Tartarus where only my Monster half was present, maybe because it was the third time you killed me, maybe some mixture of the two or maybe something completely different" Asterion, the Minotaur, said with a shrug

"If you're the minotaur then technically you two are related" the wisdom goddess said

"What?" asked Poseidon incredulously "how?"

"Wow you really are thick" Athena said with a look of contempt, mixed with wpnder as though she couldn't believe someone could be that thick "you created the bull that uhh, sighered, Asterion"

"So- what? Does that mean that Jackson's my uncle?" Asterion asked

"Hmm you can tell it runs in the family" Athena mused

"Hey! I take offense to that" Poseidon said loudly

"You're family too Athena" Percy said, too the surprise of nearly everyone "so technically you just called yourself thick", for once Athena didn't know what to say. She had just been outsmarted by a son of Poseidon.

"Can we just go? We're pushing our luck as it is, the Spirit won't be happy that we freed Jackson" Hades said, everyone immediately understood what he meant. No human had ever broken out of Tartarus and lived except Percy, Annabeth and Nico. If they stayed much longer than the Spirit of Tartarus would take the opportunity to trap the gods and probably replace them with his own sons, the giants.

"Alright let's go" Zeus said, but it was Hades that lead the way back to Damasen and Bob who were both currently staying in Damasen's hut. One by one the gods followed until it was only Percy and Annabeth standing there,

"Thank you Wise Girl, you didn't give up on me; you convinced them to get me out" he said softly

"Well, camp just wasn't the same without you, Seaweed Brain" wisdom's daughter said just as softly, Percy grasped her hand and together they set off after the gods.

Okay, done; Asterion has been revealed, and if you think about it, Percy is technically the Minotaur's uncle. I do have a vague idea as to where this is going and the story will continue into Percy's recovery. Cause I mean after two years in Tartarus it isn't gonna be a simple matter is it? Let me know what you think and again I welcome any ideas. Also I could really use ideas for how things have changed back at camp and remember Percy hasn't seen Camp Half-Blood since the end of the Titan War, about 3 years I think? Anyway, please Review and feel free to PM me

See ya next time peoples :)
