A/N: It's summer break, no more homework, no more classes, just volunteering and studying for my SATs. Now with more time, updates should be more consistent and come out faster now. Now enough of wasting your time and on with the story!

Percy POV

I honestly didn't know how to comprehend the scene in front of me. I didn't know if I should laugh or retain my stoic expression. In all honesty, it was amusing what Nightshade just said. As if I would have no choice but to accompany the hunters. On the other hand Iapetus seemed to believe the same thing.

"Are you still planning what I think you are to the hunters?" Spi asked.

"Oh now you are talking to me? Where have you been these past couple of weeks?" I thought annoyed.

"Hey! I have entered a certain process maturing me into a higher being of power allowing me to be more of an asset to any current or future problems."

"So… you went through puberty?"

"I… wait… have you… what?" Spi sputtered.

Suddenly I could feel my entire body go stiff. I watched from the corner of my eye as my arm rose up against my will and flew to my face causing for a resounding CRACK to enunciate throughout the entire clearing followed by four more consecutive slaps. I could hear everything go silent. One by one I watched as the hunters, Iapetus and Apollo all stare at me in confusion.

"What the hell was that for? Everyone here is going to think something is wrong with me!" I growled angrily in my mind.

"Good! Don't say that kind of crap to me! You and your mortal terms! If you want to put such things into such heinous terms then why don't you go and seduce a hairy gorilla or better yet your own mother?"

I could feel my mouth open then close then open again in disbelief. I was speechless. The fact that she told me to go and seduce that… monstrosity of a being whom irked me to no end.

"I'm… I'm sorry, that was too far…" Spi apologized. "I shouldn't have brought her into this."

I was brought out of my conversation when I saw the first arrow flying through the air towards Iapetus.

Apollo POV

"Petty girl, who do you think you are?" Iapetus asked.

Zoe's eyes narrowed as well as the two hunters beside her. "We are proud hunters of Artemis and we are most certainly not going to back down from sorry little, puny deities like you!"

"Puny?" Iapetus roared. I was slowly creeping to Percy intending to flash us both out before we were all interrupted by a resounding slap followed by four more. I stared at Perseus only to see his face consorted into one of confusion and anger.

"Stupid boy," Zoe muttered before glaring back towards Iapetus. "Listen Titan, surely we want the same thing here, we want to punish the boy, you wish to punish the boy why not let us take Perseus here and you take dumbass over there. Surely you could have some use for him? Perhaps as entertainment for your soldiers or some sort of servant?"

"Hey!" I protested.

"Hmm… this does seem like an intriguing proposition but why take one when I have the chance to take both?" Iapetus said smiling cruelly.

"Insolent male!" one of the hunters spat before firing an arrow straight towards Iapetus's head. Chaos was invoked all around the clearing as the hunters and the remaining monsters went to war. I dashed quickly towards Perseus to flash him out only to be pushed away.

"Go! Tell Lady Nyx of what has happened these past few weeks. I have a plan I wish to carry out."

"What? Did she tell you what to do?" I questioned.

"No, rather… I have a friend…" He grimaced. He tossed me an amulet pulsing with a bright black aura. "Press it! Pray to Lady Nyx and you shall be brought to a realm clear of everything. When the question is asked, the answer is silence, do you understand?"

I nodded before pressing the amulet. I reappeared in an area where I could hardly see a few inches in front of me. I was surrounded by a cold, dark, empty void.

"By what will peace be achieved through the end of chaos?

"Silence," I answered.

The emptiness of a response showed the acceptance of my answer. The darkness swirled around me as shadows swirled around and encased my body, transporting me to a small circular platform connected by one small, thin, long bridge overlooking a bottomless abyss. On the platform were four hooded, lightly armored warriors armed with bows and twin blades.

"I have important news for Lady Nyx and I request an audience with her." I told one of warriors in front of me. The warrior nodded, gesturing towards another before turning back towards me. I could only see her eyes as her face was encased by her mask and hood. She seemed to be assessing my being before the second warrior returned to her side.

"Lady Nyx will meet with you now, you best now hurry, she does not like to be kept waiting."

I nodded before walking down the bridge, escorted by the four warriors.

"How did a pretty girl like you come to work for a primordial goddess?" I flirted towards the girl who was leading the way to Nyx's palace.

"How are you so sure that I am pretty?" She questioned.

"Aww, c'mon with such a melodic and enchanting voice like yours, how could you not be a gorgeous maiden?"

It seemed what I said amused her as she gave a small laugh. "Well Phoebus Apollo, what if I were to tell you that I was actually a monster concealing her true form which is enough to even make the furies look like supermodels?"

I paled thinking about what I was starting to get myself into before she gave another laugh.

"Of course I could be joking but you may never know hmm?"

I gave a nervous laugh and nodded before silence fell upon the entire escort again.

By the time I reached the palace my legs seemed to want to cramp up and die with every step. The bridge felt as if it was miles long. I realized it didn't seem to only led to just the palace but rather through an entire city. Soldiers wearing armor similar to the outfit escorting me patrolled the entire city, some being mere shades while others being living beings, half-bloods, monsters, animals and more. I watched as two dire wolves and a group of soldiers chased a duo of thieves racing through the town square.

The city seemed well-cared for, a perfect atmosphere, not tyrannical but simply peaceful. I was guided through the maze of corridors filled with… strange artifacts until I finally reached a large chamber filled with warriors decorated with multiple white symbols on their black heavily armored apparel, wearing Spartan helms with black plums, carrying slim halberds, Nyx's honor guard. At the end of the chamber sat a massive throne with a gorgeous lady slouching on the top of it with one of her legs thrown over one of the armrests.

"So you are the god who has decided to ally with my… asset…" The woman stated, leaving no room for debate.

I nodded to which the woman smirked at.

"I am sure you have a reason for requesting for my audience?"

I nodded again, "Milady, you will be surprised by what I have discovered."

Percy POV

"Your plan better work, I do not like being in the company of these…foul mouthed, sadistic lesbians…"

I could literally feel Spi roll her eyes, "Of course this plan would work, however just in case you manage to screw everything up, I could always just take over your body and get you out of any situation you caused.

"You better…" I paced around the grassy area near the hunter's campsite. I watched as Zoe and Phoebe approach me menacingly well at least tried to, I found their presence to be rather… entertaining. Before I would have cowered at the mere sight of them because every time they approached me before I would endure hours of torturous pain for their amusement, now? Now I see that they were merely pawns used to inflict the hunts dominance and power over me, to show that I meant merely nothing.

"Boy, you will help-" Phoebe started before I dashed forward, grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to a tree, her feet kicking wildly, a foot above the ground. Zoe rushed forward, intending to help her friend only to have feet swept up underneath her and the tip of a blade pressing against her throat.

"Try anything I dare you," I growled. I watched as Zoe lay still but from the corner of my eye, her hand subtly crawled towards her dagger placed on her thigh. Quickly I tightened my grip on Phoebe while pressing my dagger deeper into Zoe's neck, drawing beads of blood from her throat.

"I am warning you, do you want to try that again? I promise I won't give you another chance to retaliate."

She shook her head as much as she could without deepening the cut. I withdrew my dagger to which she backed off, clutching her throat. Once she recovered enough she turned towards me and paled.

"Release her!"

I turned to Phoebe who was now purple, struggling for breath. I released my grasp from her neck and watched as she collapsed onto the ground with tears leaking from her eyes as she struggled to even breathe as shaky breaths were took. I watched as Zoe quickly crawled towards Phoebe and try everything she could to ease Phoebe's pain.

"What is wrong with you?" Zoe cried.

I stared at her in disbelief before laughing. It wasn't fake laughter or evil laughter no, it was genuine laughter.

"What is wrong? What is wrong with me? Nothing! I believe the question you should be asking is what is wrong with yourselves! You attack and torment a young child born from your mistress just because he is a boy and terrorize his life for your bitter enjoyment. While some would say you are heroes, hope for all, the elite to take down the monsters and creatures no ordinary demigod could take down, you are nothing more than the creatures you kill. You deprive a boy of his innocence and childhood just because of his gender. One cannot choose their gender yet you act as if I could. Centuries of torment and oppression and now you expect me to help you?"

I ripped off my armor and shirt showing off my bare chest. "Look at me huntress, look at me! Tell me what you see!"

I grabbed her head and forced her gaze towards my chest. "You see? How many scars lie on my body? How many times have you hunters decided to mark my body? Did you wish to perhaps create the Mona Lisa on my body? Or perhaps you tried to create a story telling of a brave huntress?

I threw her head back towards Phoebe who was also avoiding my gaze. "I thought so, don't presume that you will be able to ask things from me like you could years ago. I am not that same boy. Not anymore."

I began to walk away before being stopped by Zoe.

"All we wished was for you to aid us in saving Lady Artemis."

I blinked twice to make sure it wasn't a dream. "You have the nerve… the audacity to ask me to save the woman who was the main source of my torment? The mother who was supposed to support abused children, the one who acted like a true mother to all but me? For two thousand years I suffered! However… I do have a proposition; if I were to help your goddess I would request that you give me a day alone with her." I twirled my dagger in my hands, smirking. "I believe that it has been long overdue for a mother and son bonding time. From then on you and the rest of you hunters and goddess will do well to stay away from me until the end of time."

"No deal, if you take Lady Artemis then you take all of us." Phoebe snarled.

"Phoebe wait!" Zoe said. "And if we were to refuse your offer?"

"Why nothing," I replied. "You can just spend the rest of your time trying to rescue your damned goddess for all I care while I seek out my own objective."

"And that would be…?" She questioned.

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out isn't it?"

Luke POV

"Your huntresses are coming… don't you feel it?" I asked, taking a bite out of my apple. "And guess who accompanies them?"

No reaction came from the chained goddess. I smirked.

"Truly you see even if you are rescued that the victory of the Olympians is useless." I closed my eyes and smiled. "I can almost see the Olympians having to swallow their enormous pride and ego bowing down to the titans. The new rulers of the golden era! And all we need is one final piece, a piece that is just temporarily being held outside our grasp."

I walked over and stroked Artemis's cheek to which she tried to bite at.

"Feisty…" I commented. "Do you wish to know?"

Still there was no response, only the quietness and shallow breaths of the goddess.

I chuckled and pulled out a knife, stroking her cheeks with the edge of its blade.

"You see, well, I know I love to monologue but truly how could I not? We all praise the amazing abilities of the famous heroes, Odysseus for his trickery and manipulation, Hercules for his strength, Theseus for his cunning and intelligence, Achilles for his invulnerability so I decided to take after one of them. I would be a hero for getting the gods to give their children the recognition they deserve. My sacrifice would be for the greater good."

"At this very moment my men march towards the location of the Golden Sarcophagus. It is unfortunate that Perseus did not retrieve it for us the first time we attempted to possess it but now it is only a matter of time. When we finally retrieve the Golden Sarcophagus, I shall become the host of Kronos!"

A/N: Very much a filler chapter, I'm getting back into this so I promise the next chapter will be much better. More drama in it, I mean it is already done and currently being edited by my beta, shoutout to him. Also one person asked me to do a pairing with Spi and Perseus, personally I honestly don't care much about the pairings at the moment but this pairing is completely up for debate for you guys, if you guys want this to happen then sure, I will do it but if not then fine. Don't forget to leave your suggestions in the reviews and I will see you all very soon.
