Unveiled Shadow Knights: Ethan Nakamura- Iota, Taiyō Akuma- Lambda, Isabel Glass- Rho, Oliver Chang- Koppa, Rose Griffin- Phi, Kevin Lee- Tau, Anastasia Vera- Sampi, Oliver Kings- Vau

AN: I'm sorry, I truly am, about the last cliff hanger. This shall be the last chapter in the book sadly. Thanks for pushing through the ups and downs with me, or if you're a new reader or a future new reader, thank you for pushing through all the mistakes I've made. This is my first ever completed book, though if you went through my bookshelf you'd find half a dozen half finished books and a miniature journal of story ideas. Anyways, I'm really glad that y'all really liked the last chapter. Thank you for all the past, present, and future support, and this includes the criticism. I hope you like this chapter as well as the last one. Sorry it's shorter. Enjoy :)

"Are you sure?" Percy asked his line of Knights who had stepped forward to unveil their identities. When all he received was nods, he nodded back. "Together we shall conquer." He closed his eyes, reached up, and pulled his hood back, his Knights following suit.

He heard gasps and shouts and running footsteps but kept his eyes closed. Until arms wrapped around him and he opened his eyes to find Piper clinging to him like a monkey. He tightly hugged her back not letting go till she loosened her hold. At which point she backed up and he went to smile at her but she came forward again and started pounding on his chest.

Luke ran over and pulled her off him while Jason ran up on stage. Percy looked at her with wide eyes because now she was slack in Luke's arms and crying. Jason came in front of her and glared at Luke, who let her go immediately. Jason grabbed her in an embrace whispering sweet nothings while rubbing her back. Hazel and Frank came onto the stage too and came and gave Percy tearful hugs.

When they backed up, Percy made eye contact with Grover who was still stuck in his seat, in shock, Nico and juniper trying to get him up. Leo and Calypso joined the group on stage, as did Thalia and Reyna, but they all stayed back as Grover finally stood up. He started walking towards the stage, but Percy was faster. He crossed the rest of the stage and hopped down meeting Grover. A tear slid down Grover's cheek and Percy pulled him into a hug.

"I thought I'd never see you again," Grover told him.

"You're never getting rid of me," Percy responded. They pulled apart and studied each other for the time they'd been apart. "You're horns are bigger."

Grover laughed a bit. "I can't wear my beanie anymore."

Percy threw his head back and laughed and Juniper came up and gave Percy a hug. "I'm so sorry I didn't let you guys know I was safe."

"What kind of friend goes and becomes the second most powerful being in the universe and leaves behind only a note saying he "can't do this anymore." Grover asks punching Percy lightly in the arm.

"One who has kelp for brains," Luke said coming to stand next to Percy.

"Luke!" Grover bleated as he jumped and gave him a hug.

Luke laughed and hugged his old friend back. Reyna walked up and pulled Percy into a bone crushing hug pinning his arms.

"Can't... breath," he wheezed.

She let go of him and smiled viciously, "you deserve it. You made us think you were dead. For five years Percy!" Tears started rolling down her face and Percy pulled her into another hug, this one more comforting. She sniffed and wiped at her nose before hugging him back.

"I promise I'll never do it again," he whispered.

"You won't get the chance to. Next time you'll be really dead," Nico said walking up to the group. The rest of Percy's friends joined him, and he gave Piper another hug.

"I'm going to have to leave, but I have two more days here." Percy said ignoring Nico.

"You'll come visit us though.. right?" Hazel asked.

"On our breaks between missions." Luke said, throwing an arm around Thalia. She frowned at him but didn't move it.

"Who is he?" Frank asked scrunching his eyebrows and frowning.

"Oh! Sorry guys, this is my old friend Luke Castellan. He's a son of Hermes and my second in command. He past away in the battle of Manhattan though he died in Mount Olympus, right?"

"Yeah," he said looking away.

"He's a great person you'll love him." Percy rushed forward and Thalia laughed.

"They'll only love him if he isn't too much of a knucklehead," she said and proceeded to give Luke a noogie.

He tried pushing her away but they fell to the ground and started wrestling. Eventually it stopped when Thalia had Luke pinned on the ground with a knee in his back and his wrists locked together.

Percy was cracking up by the time that Thalia finally let Luke stand and Luke glared at him.

"Dude, I'm the second most powerful being in the universe and I still wouldn't take on Thalia." Percy responded taking deep breaths.

When everyone calmed down and mild conversation was going on Percy took a second to look around the amphitheater and saw all the Knights who'd revealed themselves joking and talking with their old friends and making new friends with the friends the other Knights had had.

Jem caught his eye and smiled at him. He was standing with an arm around Tessa's waist, talking to Clary and a couple campers named Isabelle and Alec.

Then he spotted Annabeth, sitting in the third row of seats, keeping well away from everyone. He excused himself from the group and felt their eyes on him as he snuck around the crowd and made his way up to her.

"Hey, mind if I sit?" He asked pointing at the seat next to her.

She jumped a little and scanned the otherwise empty seating area of the whole amphitheater. "Yeah sure," she waved a hand at the before mentioned seat. After Percy had taken a seat and was quiet for a while, she asked. "What's going to happen to Stephen?"

Percy sat straighter shocked that of all things she could've said she decided to ask about him. "I'm taking him back to Omorfiá when me and the remaining Knights leave in a couple days and he'll remain a prisoner there till we decide a verdict." His tone sounded like a doctor giving a cancer report to the patient.

"Good," she said. Nice save, Percy thought. "I'm sorry, but what exactly are you doing up here?"

"We were once inseparable. And mind control took that away from us." She looked at him in surprise and he looked down at his hands as he twisted and turned them. "I'm going to take some time still being able to fully forgive everything that's happened on this planet, and I'm still working for chaos, but. But I think we can get close to the spot again."

"Are you serious?" She asked, hope picking her voice up a notch or two.

He looked up and nodded and she threw her arms around him making him go rigid. He hadn't been hugged by her in 5,000 years. He relaxed a bit and put his arms around her for a couple seconds before they broke apart. They walked down to the others again smiling and taking about how new cabins were still getting added and which ones still needed to.

After a few more minutes of conversing with his friends, Poseidon popped up next to them and pulled Percy aside. "He's here."

"Where?" Percy said quickly, becoming instantly alert and looking through the crowd.

"He's in the Poseidon cabin waiting." Poseidon popped out of the amphitheater.

"Hey Perce, everything okay?" Luke called over, watching him with a raised eyebrow. He and Annabeth had hugged for a couple minutes and they both had had to wipe their eyes when they finally broke apart.

"Yeah I'll be fine. I have someone I have to meet." Percy made a portal and transported to Poseidon cabin barely letting himself finish the sentence.

Sitting on a bed was Tyson, holding a picture in his hand.

"Ty?" Percy whispered, not being able to walk any further or say anymore as he chokes up.

Tyson jumped up and, once he saw Percy, ran to him and pulled him into bone crushing hug like Piper, except his half brother was much, much stronger.

Percy tapped Tyson's back letting him know he couldn't breathe and Tyson set him down on the floor gently. "I'm sorry Percy. Where have you been? I've missed you a great ton. I was told you were gone forever. I was told you are dead."

Percy grabbed his brother's hand comfortingly and they sat down across from one another on two beds. "I'm sorry I didn't let you know otherwise. I've been on a huge quest. One that isn't, and never will be, finished. But I'll be coming to visit now. I'll make sure to come see you, and everyone, more."

Tyson's eye started tearing up. "Why were you gone so long?"

Percy's head dropped down as he looked at his hands. "Things were different here. Wrong. Bad guys took over. I needed a break so I joined with someone. Chaos. She made me the second most powerful being in the universe. I trained and became better. I came back here and I defeated the bad guys. Now I can come back whenever I have time off."

"Second most powerful!" Tyson yelled excitedly. "My brother is big, he's famous!"

Percy laughed. "In a way I guess so."

"Have you seen Ella yet?" Tyson asked curiously.

"Nope, is she here?"

"She's on her way! She said she was going to meet with the group to give us space," Tyson said with a goofy grin on his face.

"Well, let's go join them," Percy said and led the way back to his family.

"When will you come back next?" Sally asked.

"It's hard to commit to a specific time. On Omorfiá time works differently. Sometimes one second can be eight hours, others it can be one decade." Percy explained.

"But you will be coming to visit right?" Paul asked.

"Of course!" Percy agreed. "I need to get to know Odysseus and Sarah more," he said smiling at said sleeping figures.

"Well travel safely. And stay safe on your quests. You're more powerful now. Let those bastards out there know it." Sally said with all the seriousness of a mom letting her child go to war.

"I'll be back before you know it." Percy gave her a tight hug and kissed her on the forehead. Then he gave Paul a hug too. "Keep her safe."

"Sir yes sir," Paul said saluting him and putting his arm around Sally's waist.

Percy smiled, shook his head, and then left their house.

On Omorfiá

"What's our next mission Chaos?" Percy asked as he stood in her office.

"Let your team know you'll be leaving tomorrow morning. Here is the file," she handed over a thick file with a red stamp of URGENT on the front. "You'll be going to planet number 528. The rest of the information is inside. Bring both teams. Sleep well," she said smiling at him before going back to her other paperwork.

Outside her office he created a portal to the Shadow Knights' house. He whistled as he walked into the common room cutting off all conversations.

"You got the next mission?" Luke asked.

"Obviously you twat," Phoebe rolled her eyes.

Luke guffawed and Percy smiled to himself.

"Alright here's the file, read through it while I go inform the others. We leave in the morning so make sure you sleep and don't go out partying." He shot a specific look at Luke and Ethan, who both tried acting innocent.

"Which planet?" Zoë asked ignoring the two.

"We're heading out to P528. I'll be making the portal. Now get ready. I want to leave right when we wake up so everything needs to be packed up." Then he made a portal and went to the other Shadow Knights' house whee he relayed the same message.

After letting every Shadow Knight know about the mission he portables to his room and took off his boots before crashing on his bed, thinking life couldn't be better.
