Please guys, review. Oh, and i cannot hold in my ideas anymore, there will be other stories appearing sometime over the next few days. Possibly as soon as a few hours from now. I know what i said, and i said what i meant, but apparently i didn't mean it, not 100%.
Zeus POV
I waited as the three demigods we had sent returned and walked into the throne room. After the customary bowing and scraping, they stood up to tell us what happened. After informing us, the throne room was stunned into silence. "So you are saying that he refused to help and kicked you out?"
"Yes Lord Zeus."
I stood up in a rage. "Now what?" Nobody decided to answer immediately. After while Athena spoke up.
"The best course of action from here would be to go and talk to him ourselves. We need to be very careful not to push him on anything though. We cannot risk him helping the other side. If he did that..." She trailed off, leaving our imagination to fill in the rest.
"Everyone, get ready to go! We need to get Perseus and bring him back."
"Is that a good idea father? That would mean we all lose power for a while. I think we should only have a few gods that Percy is close to go to him, we stand a better chance of success that way."
"No!" Zeus boomed. "I refuse to have some members of this council stronger than others! You all will move against me while i am recovering! We are all going, and that is final."
"No." Everyone turned and stared at Poseidon and Hestia, who had both spoken at the same time. "I refuse to try to convince my son to do your bidding. I have never plotted to overthrow you. If i had, you would no longer be king. Do what you want, have a god stay to watch me, I don't care. But i will not do this." The god of the sea flashed out, leaving the rest of the council looking at an empty fishing chair.
Hestia stood up. She changed from her look as a child until she was a tall woman in her mid-twenties, with mousy brown hair and flaming eyes. "I too will not be a part of this. He has the right to react however he wishes. We took time out of his life, made him fight our battles, and even-" Here she gestured at Hera. "Killed his girlfriend. I may not like his choice, but i will not exert my influence on him." She strode out of the throne room and the massive doors closed behind her with a bang. There was silence for a few moments, as every one understood what they had said.
"Hecate!" I called out. The summoned goddess appeared in a flash of light, holding what looked like a two layer thick piece of cardboard with holes in it. The holes contained vials of smoking purple potion. She walked around, and handed one to every god in the room. Once she finished, she walked to the middle of the room. "I will transport everyone to the borders of Kodiak island after you all drink the potion. Good luck."
Percy and Annabeth had planned carefully. They were in a bowl in the earth, a natural dip, that was surrounded by hills and crags. They had all kinds of nasty surprises set up just in case the gods tried anything. They purposely allowed the gods to enter without interference. It was all part of the plan. The two were in lawn chairs, watching some of the wild animals on the plain, with a popcorn machine and snack bar nearby. Why popcorn? Percy said this could take awhile and he had no intention of going hungry. The two waited, with their backs towards where the gods would come. When they finally felt some presences show up nearby and come over the hill, Percy tossed a pouch to Annabeth. "I admit it. You won. I thought they would be back within the hour. You said about three, and you were almost right on the dot. Here you go, all fifteen drachmas." Annabeth took it and smirked.
"And that is why you never bet against me. I always win any game to do with mathematics, timing or angles."
Percy nodded, filing this information away for later. Then he called over his shoulder. "We know your there. Standing there silently doesn't help convince me. Lets hear your sales pitch. And it better be of higher quality than the last one was."
The gods moved so they could see him. "Perseus, i know your upset-" Hera began.
Percy held his hand out in her direction. "Talk to the hand bitch. I'm more than upset. I'm furious. You are lucky I did not join Gaea for what you did. Its not like i have a lack of offers from her."
Zeus strode forward, his hand raised with his master bolt firmly held. "No one talks to my wife like that! You will come back, now!"
Percy yawned, showing his contempt. "Uh huh. And whatcha gonna do if i say no? And I do say no, by the way."
Zeus smirked. "Then this." At his hand signal, Ares flew forward and held the point of his sword to Annabeth's throat. "Now, you will come back and be loyal to Olympus."
Percy slowly stood up and turned around. The other gods watched in horror as the negations took a horrible turn thirty seconds in. As he faced the gods, they were shocked by the aura surrounding them. His eyes were pits of green flame, and his entire body glowed. The sky darkened and the clouds rumbled, but this storm was not of Zeus' making. "YOU DARE!" He bellowed to the skies. "AFTER ALL I DID FOR YOU! THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME? YOU WILL PAY!" He collapsed to one knee and shouted out loud. "GAEA, HELP ME!" Tendrils of earth shot out of the ground and slammed into Ares, sending him flying back into the dirt. A wall of earth formed in front of the two. Percy's voice continued to roll as loud as the thunder. "GAEA, I WISH TO JOIN YOUR ARMY."
A soft woman's voice answered him, seeming to emit from the ground around them. "Of course Perseus."
Percy turned and glared at the gods with such intensity of looks could kill they would all be six feet under. "YOU HAVE MADE AN ENEMY TODAY OLYMPUS. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN FALL TO GAEA, THEY WILL PRAY FOR A HERO TO SAVE THEM! AND HE WILL NOT COME!" This last sentence was shouted with such power that it made the ground rumble and the gods lost their balance. When they looked up, it was as if Percy and Annabeth had never existed. All of them had only one thought in their head. "Oh Hades. What have we done?"
A/N Oh Hades indeed. Lesson learned, do not ever threaten those close to Percy. (Looking at you Kronos and Gaea in canon) It tends to tick him off. And in this case, it was the last straw. Oh, a man was arrested the other day for standing up for his beliefs in saying there are only two sexes, and he was arrested and thrown in jail because of a "Racial degradation" to cross gender people. Please keep him in your thoughts. American society is going to hell in a hand basket.
