So im terribly sorry for how late I got this to you. This should've been posted like a month ago but for reasons explained later it wasn't. But that means good news for you. I'm almost done with the next chapter already and the other good news, along with the explanation of why, is at the end of the chapter. Other wise here is the story.

I still don't own these beautiful characters or the world of PJO. I only own those which are mine.

You would think that as a god, I wouldn't have demigod dreams anymore, or I wouldn't even need sleep at all. No such luck, and on top of that, I don't get my own cool powers. Anyway, as soon as I fell asleep my consciousness was wisked away to somewhere else. It was somewhere familiar, but I couldn't place it. That is, until I saw the man in front of me. My old friend, Pallas, was sitting in his throne in his stone tower.

"How are you here?" I asked.

"I have one more thing to pass on to you, and you have to beat me again to claim it." his voice was much deeper and stronger than last time. "It won't be as easy this time. I am inside of your head after all."

He drew a large sword in his right hand. I threw the chains, trying the trick I had used last time. He moved to block them, but they split around him at the last second. It seemed like it was gonna work, but he spun around and caught both chains with no time to spare. He turned back around to face me, and the chains shattered in his hand. He pulled an ax from his chest and ran at me. I dodged the first swing and raised Riptide to block the second. The ax lodged itself halfway through Riptide, and as he pulled it back, Riptide was pulled from my grasp. I had never even dented Riptide before, let alone cut the blade almost in half. Chains broken and Riptide in two pieces, it was all I could do to just avoid his blows.

"Sit still. It will be over quick."

"You can't kill me in my own head. That just isn't right. Wait, this is in my head."

I thought about Riptide being in my hand. How indestructible I was when I had my sword. Riptide reappeared in my hand, and I cut through both of his weapons with one swing.

"Very good Perseus, but you can't match my power."

"You have no power in my mind Pallas. You are just that weak old man I met in Tartarus."

"My power exists in everyone. The destructive tendencies you demigods possess only fuels me."

I swung Riptide at Pallas again, but he blocked it with his hand. The blade shattered on contact but immediately rebuilt itself. We continued this stalemate for some time. He batted off each attack like it was nothing, but I never backed down. The more he broke Riptide the angrier I became. My anger only seemed to fuel him though because as I grew angrier he grew bigger and stronger until I was fighting a full-sized Titan.

"That's it Perseus. Fuel me with your anger. Let me be reborn."

I thought about the last titan that was let loose in our world. All the friends that I lost in the war and all the demigods we didn't even get a chance to know. The thoughts of my friends grew stronger and stronger until, one-by-one, they started to appear beside me. All of my friends were there, including the ones we lost in the war. Jason and Reyna led the Romans in the usual orderly fashion. Beckendorf handing out weapons and charging in with Selena right beside him. Michael Yew, Lee and the other Apollo kids were firing volley after volley, and before long, the hunters joined them, led by Thalia and Zoe. The Stolls led the small army we call Hermes Cabin into battle attacking Pallas's right foot while the archers shot at his torso. They all appeared in reverse order from when I met them. All the way back to Luke, the real Luke not the one that was tricked by Cronus, and Annabeth. Then, I started to see cloven hooves appear beside me. As the battle waged around me, I couldn't help but stare as my two oldest friends appeared there beside me. Chiron wasted no time charging into battle with the campers, but I remained put, waiting for one more to join us. The last bit of curly hair formed before I turned back to Pallas.

"Pallas, you've lost. You're looking at the armies that brought down the titans and the giants. Two forces kept apart because of the incredible might we possess when we are together. So long as we remain in my head, my friends will never fall or fade. My fatal flaw is loyalty and the ties to my friends will never be broken."

Pallas started to falter. The constant barrage of demigods became too much for him. Slowly the titan began to fade, his body literally becoming invisible.

"Perseus, somebody needs to contain my destructive power. I have chosen you to carry it. Maybe you can find a new use for it on your quest."

Once more, the old man died before my eyes. I felt a strange sort of energy flowing through my body, and then, I woke up. Slowly the sight of all my friends standing before me faded like a dream.

So I would've had this posted a couple weeks ago but my internet has been out for like a month. My deepest apologies to those who waited and to those who didn't. If you wish, I will be accepting OC's for my next story as my apology to you guys, so if you wish to be in the story or have a character in the story please pm me an OC or character concept if you don't wish to create the whole thing. The story is going to be an OC team going on a quest or maybe fighting a war, I'm not sure yet. As always ideas and critiques are welcome through review or pm.
