Percy Jackson/ Warhammer 40k
Children of the chaos gods, once chaos undivided.
Chaos is the initial rudimentary mass of being, from which emerged the Protogeni. Besides being a deity, Chaos is a shapeless void below even the depths of Tartarus, the realm embodied by one of its sons. Once someone enters Chaos, they become nothing and are dissolved by the void.
But there's more to it than you can see, for chaos, Khaos, Kaos or "the Gap" all of that. It is more than just a void of horrible things, it is more important than that. Its true nature is that it is a realm of the collective spiritual-subconscious of every single soul possessing species in the mortal realm.
It is a force of reality itself, and any who try to control and restrain it, the more it will act against you. It is a reflection of those who empower it and who in turn empower it. Like gravity dictates where everyone pulls or energy condenses into matter and form so too does chaos function as another celestial process.
You could say that Chaos is a reflection of the subconsciousness of all mankind. Every single thought or feeling you ever had both consciously and subconsciously becomes reality in chaos. Every single human emotion becomes a power, every single metaphor becomes a literal meaning, everyone's wishes, dreams, desires, fears and nightmares are incarnated.
All this led chaos to be an unstable mess that can unmake anyone who enters. Normally chaos is separate from reality but every now and then it sometimes leaks.
Chaos itself takes many forms that represent human subconsciousness and nothing stops it from taking more than one form or separating into multiple forms if it chooses.
This is the leaks that affect reality in the realm of gods and titans in the form of children.

"I'm going to kill her," Percy mumbled and Katie narrowed her eyes from her seat just behind Percy.
Turning, she grabbed Nancy's hand, squeezing with just enough tightness to make her call out but glaring with more than enough force to shut her fuck up.
"Listen here you worthless whore, anymore shit out of you and I shatter your wrist" Katie threatened in a warm and soft voice but the threat was clear as the girl shut up and started to shiver.
"Are we clear?" Katie growls, as Nancy nodding to quickly and shrivels back as Katie releases her. Katie takes a deep breath before turning to Percy.
"And how are you both" Katie asks both Percy and Grover, not really caring for Grover, she doesn't like cowards but liking Percy a lot more. Percy was one of the few people that saw past her angry issues and rather violent response, so she helps him out whenever she sees him in trouble.
"Better now, thanks. I can't stand her." Percy nodded smiling radiantly, Grover nodded, like the sniveling coward he was, he squeaked out a mousy. "I'm okay." He all but whispers that gets on Katie nerves.
"Speak up cripple, I can't hear you" Katie said as Grover quickly stood straight.
"Yes sir, I'm ok sir." Grover freaking out as someone behind them laughs.
"mhhmahah, I don't know why you hang with us if you're scared of Katie so much" A voice said, making them turn to see a young man with glasses and a cheeking smile on his face that screams 'I'm going to stab you in the back'
"It's nothing Terry, I'm used to it" Grover said, a little freak out see Terry here. Terry was the smartest student in the school, he was the one that helped tutors Percy and the others. However he is random and narcissistic to many people except a few, Percy being one of them.
"Lay off him Terry, not everyone can under Katie" Percy said as Katie smiles with Terry grinning.
"Well ain't you a smart one Percy, I know you would succeed under my influences" Terry smiling in pride at himself as everyone signs at him.
"More like you're helping him focus with the random shit you do" A muffled voice is heard as they turn to see Nathan wearing his mask, gloves, shades and benny. Nathan has a weak immune system so he gets sick a lot as many people keep their distance from him except for the group in front of him. Nathan is a nice bro that always has your back, his dream is to become a doctor to help others. He cares for everyone, even the ones he hates like Terry.
"I'll have you know if it wasn't for me, you would have all been left behind in your grades" Terry said in satisfaction but frowned at Nathan.
"And if it wasn't for us you would be sent to jail for that shit you caused with the teachers" Nathan said, Terry spread rumors and caused shit to happen that caused unpleasant drama between teachers, luckily they were there to keep him from doing something insane.
"They wouldn't know it me" Terry said waving his hand but Katie won't have it.
"Please, you can't help but brag about your annoying accomplishment" Katie said, Terry loves talking about himself and what he achieved which gets Katie's nerves.
"When you predict everyone's actions perfectly, how can you not tell everyone how amazing you are" Terry brags about himself.
"Your bragging pisses me off Terry" Katie threatens as Terry just smiles at her.
"Which means I'm doing something right" Terry said as Katie was about to strangle him until another voice stopped her.
"Is Nancy annoying you again Percy?" A sweet voice said as everyone turned to see, a pretty girl with blonde hair walked to them. This was Sydney, the most popular student and most pretty yet for some reason hangouts with these crazies.
"Yeah Sydney, I don't know what her problem is with me?" Percy asks, confused on why Nancy was such a bitch to him.
"Please Percy, Nancy is a weak pitiful coward who only picks on you because our so-called teachers don't punish her, against a threat she will cry like a little bitch" Katie said loudly, hopefully enough for Nancy to hear her.
"Maybe she has issues and is taking them out on you as a form of making herself feel better" Nathan said, trying to be the nice guy here as Percy looks at him.
"Seriously Nat, she feels bad?" Percy asked as Nathan just shrugs,
"You never know, she could be dealing with an abusive father or something" Nathan said, feeling sorry for Nancy but Terry just crackles.
"Or maybe she taking advantage of the system that seem to be against you, using the little time she has to gain some kind of impact and social standing with the others before she leaves the school where all this current success will come crashing down on her" Terry said as Percy smiles at Nancy getting her just deserves but Sydney shakes her head.
"Boys boys, there is a much simpler explanation" Sydney said getting their attention.
"What?" Percy clueless to his other female friend as Sydney smiles at him
"She has a crush on you" Sydney cheers as all the boys gag at that.
"Nancy likes me?" Percy horrified as Grover choked on his breaths,
"No no no, that would never happen" Terry denies it, Nathen coughs in his mask as Katie gets angry for some reason.
"As if that bitch would be so cruel to her love" Katie tightens her fist as Sydney pats her down.
"Don't worry Katie, Percy only has his eyes on you" Sydney smiles to everyone groans as Katie glares at Sydney, but having a small blush on her face.
"Why would she?" Grover looks too confused as Nathan just pats his head.
"Grover my friend the hardest creature to understand is woman" Nathan gives the poor guy comfort as they all got out of the museum.
Mr. Brunner led the museum tour. He rode up front in his wheelchair, guiding them through the big galleries, past marble statues and glass cases full of really old black-and[1]orange pottery. Terry is in love with knowledge and such, relished in this opportunity. He adored museums, school events and the like. Any chance to learn, especially with fantasy and mythology.
Nathan loves learning with his friends, interacting and doing activities together is what he loves the most. His body is weak and he is always sick to fully relish any opportunity to spend time with his friends.
Katie likes physically activities and sports of all kind, she not dumb by any means but she doesn't like to read much compare to trainings. But she likes history and mythology.
Sydney doesn't really like study or the museum, prepare to do her own thing, like talk to her friends or design new clothes and other product she hoping to make, she more creative than her other friends and likes to make something pretty to look at and the museum as many pretty things to look at, Sydney looking at the semi naked statues.
Mr. Brunner gathered them around a thirteen-foot-tall stone column with a big sphinx on the top, and started telling them how it was a grave marker, a stele, for a girl about our age. He told them about the carvings on the sides.
Percy kept on having to tell everyone to be quiet; getting Mrs. Dodd's to look at him hatefully.
Until Katie let out a growl, her body had turned to glare at them, cracking her knuckles to make such a point they all paled. Her reputation was a powerful weapon and she was more than happy to use it.
After a while, the less than intelligent Nancy snickered something about the naked guy on the stele, Sydney just smack her as she yipped and Percy turned around and said,
"Will you shut up?" It came out rather loudly.
The whole group laughed. Mr. Brunner stopped his story.
"Mr. Jackson," he said, "did you have a comment?"
Red-faced, the other boy said, "No, sir."
As Nathan coughs in his mask.
"Perhaps you'll tell us what this picture represents?" Mr. Brunner pointed to one of the pictures on the stele as he looked at the carving and seemed relieved.
"That's Kronos eating his kids, right?" Percy answers as Terry grins beside him.
"Yes," Mr. Brunner said, obviously not satisfied. "And he did this because ..."
"Well...Kronos was the king god, and-"
"God?" Mr. Brunner asked.
"Titan," He corrected himself. "And ... he didn't trust his kids, who were the gods. So, um, Kronos ate them, right? But his wife hid baby Zeus, and gave Kronos a rock to eat instead.
And later, when Zeus grew up, he tricked his dad, Kronos, into barfing up his brothers and sisters-"
"Eeew!" said one of the girls behind them; Nathan looks annoyed as he coughed
"Oh grow up would you, we all do it" Nathan said to them.
"-and so there was this big fight between the gods and the Titans," he continued, "and the gods won."
Some snickers from the group.
Behind them, Nancy Bobofit mumbled to a friend, "Like we're going to use this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain why Kronos ate his kids.'"
"And why, Mr. Jackson," Brunner said, "to paraphrase Miss Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?"
"Busted," Grover muttered.
"Shut up," Nancy hissed, her face even brighter red than her hair.
"You first," Katie said to her as Nancy shut her mouth.
At least Nancy got packed, too. Mr. Brunner was the only one who ever caught her saying anything wrong. Which is sad as every other teacher ignores her unless brought up by Terry, who loves to blackmail a few teachers with such information.
"I don't know, sir." Percy frowned, but Terry grins.
"Self-fulfilling prophecies." Terry smiles, they all turned to him, so he continued.
"His own mother told him that he would be overthrown by his kids, but they overthrew him because he ate and abused them. She manipulated him to turn on his own family which is a very important lesson, fate can be controlled by anyone." Terry explained to all as some looked at Terry in awe as Mr Brunner looked a little uncomfortable.
"I see." Mr. Brunner said with a stained smile. "Well, half credit, Mr. Jackson and half to Mr. Terry. Now I do believe it is time for lunch."
The class gathered on the front steps of the museum, where we could watch the foot traffic along Fifth Avenue.
Overhead, a huge storm was brewing, with clouds blacker than anyone had ever seen over the city. There had been countless odd storms and such for the last few months, since around
Christmas and for some reason, it left Nathan feeling nauseous and tired than normal, coughing and sneezing more.
Nobody else seemed to notice. Some of the guys were pelting pigeons with Lunchables crackers. Nancy Bobofit was trying to pickpocket something from a lady's purse, and, of course,
Mrs. Dodds wasn't seeing a thing. But Terry and Sydeny do.
Grover, Percy, Terry, Katie, Nathan and Sydney sat on the edge of the fountain, away from the others.
"I just wish he'd lay off me sometimes. I mean-I'm not a genius." Percy was frowning; talking about Mr. Brunner as Nathan just coughed and Grover didn't say anything for a while.
"Can I have your apple?" Grover asked Percy, with Katie getting angry.
"How can you ask for food when he's feeling depressed, cripple?" Katie frowns, scaring Grover as Sydney shakes her head.
"Percy, you are very, very smart. All you need is more direction and some focus. Honestly, this school sucks and does not help us reach our potential." Sydney encourages as she smiles as Percy's cute blush.
She had a thing for Percy when they first met; Percy was the definition of sweet, kind, smart and adorable. It was easy to like him, if only she didn't have Katie as a rival as she gets a glare from Katie, burning holes in her head.
"Cough you're smarter than cough everyone else here at least" Nathan coughs as he takes his pills and shoots himself with a needle.
"Thanks to yours truly, out of everyone here only Percy can match me" Terry comments as he sees Percy with the most potential.
"Mr Bunner is hard on you because he wants you to succeed Percy, you can't get better if he takes it easy on you" Katie tries to encourage Percy as he nods at her.
"I guess you're right, it's still hard to think about this stuff," Percy said as they continued to eat.
Mr. Brunner parked his wheelchair at the base of the handicapped ramp. He ate celery while he read a paperback novel. A red umbrella stuck up from the back of his chair, making it look like a motorized cafe table.
After a while, while they were eating their meal, the bitchy and irritating Nancy walked over to Grover and dumped her half eaten meal all over his lap.
"Oops." She grinned and then a wave of water rushed over her and she was in the fountain,
"Percy pushed me!" She screamed, pointing at him as Mrs. Dodds materialized next to them.
Some of the kids were whispering: "Did you see-"
"-the water-"
"-like it grabbed her-"
As soon as Mrs. Dodds was sure poor little Nancy was okay, promising to get her a new shirt at the museum gift shop, bullshit, bullshit. Mrs. Dodds turned on Percy. There was a triumphant fire in her eyes, "Now, honey-"
"I know, a month erasing workbooks." Percy grumbled, as his friends looked pissed.
"Come with me," Mrs. Dodds said, breaking the camel as Katie shoved the teacher aside and grabbed Nancy, head-butting her so hard her nose snapped. She screeched in agony, holding her face but she was not done.
Despite being tiny, Katie was really strong for some reason. Lifting her by her shirt with one hand, he shook her hard.
"I am done seeing you bully, abuse and mistreat others. If our bitch of a teacher refuses to do anything, I will. Touch anyone again, and I will break something else." With her other hand, she reset her nose making her scream more. Then pull her back into the fountain, uncaring. Turning she looked in everyone's terrified, confused stares.
As Nancy turns to her, holding her nose in pain.
"You can't do this I'm telling" Nancy cries out as Terry and Sydney laugh.
"Mahaaha yes tell on her like I will tell daddy you're failing your grades again and buying drugs again with his money" Terry smiles as she stare at him in shock.
"How did you know?" Nancy turns to Sydney as she holds a camera with a picture of Nancy and the class having a party and doing less than legal activities.
"That was a great party, I'm sure to share it with everyone" Sydney cheers as she waves her camera around showing everyone the amount of evidence she has.
"But you were there too and so was Nathan with his bag" A student said but Nathan looked at him. Nathan grows a garden and knows a few people who pay him for his fruit or vegetables, either money and sometimes drugs which Nathan sells at parties.
"What are you talking about, I'm never invited to those parties and my bag only has my medicine and Sydney not in any of those photos of your smoking weed" Nathan grins at them as Terry turns to Mrs. Dodd.
"Now, you will deal with us all." They all followed Percy, as Katie gave Nancy one last look.
"One more time and I'll rip your head off" Katie threatens as she drags Percy and Mrs Dodd with no real effort. With the other three following.
After a minute Mrs. Dodd shook loose and marched ahead, but there was fear in her body language. They followed her into the museum and further down. Within moments they were back in the Greek and Roman section. Except for them, the gallery was empty.
Mrs. Dodds stood with her arms crossed in front of a big marble frieze of the Greek gods. She was making this weird noise in her throat, like growling.
"You've been giving us problems, honey," she said, more to Percy than anyone else.
"Yes, ma'am." Percy said, not sure what to make of it, She tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket.
"Did you really think you would get away with it?" The look in her eyes was beyond mad. It was evil looking.
"Like you, getting away with your poor teaching" Terry comments as the other three seeing the teacher looking ready to attack.
"I'll-I'll try harder, ma'am." Percy tries to stay as Nathan stands next to him. Thunder shook the building.
"We are not fools, Percy Jackson," Mrs. Dodds said.
"It was only a matter of time before we found you out. Confess, and you will suffer less pain. Well?" she demanded, as Katie stood in front of Percy and everyone with a growl.
"Bring it" she said, not caring what she would try. She hated abusers, always had.
"Ma'am, I don't..." Percy tries to stay but Sydney looks around.
"I think she is doing something drastic" Sydney comments as Terry also sees.
"Either she wants to kill us or rape us" Terry said as Nathan groans in pain
"Don't know what worse, my stomach or her coming on to us" Nathan groans in pain as he holds his stomach.
"Your time is up," she hissed. Then the weirdest thing happened. Her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn't human. She was a shriveled hag with bat wings and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice them into ribbons.
"What the hell it that" Sydney cries out,
"A bat out of hell" Katie growls at it.
"Holy shit" Terry said in shock as Percy and Nathan looked in shock.
Then things got even stranger. Mr. Brunner, who'd been out in front of the museum a minute before, wheeled his chair into the doorway of the gallery, holding a pen in his hand.
"What ho, Percy!" he shouted and tossed the pen through the air.
Mrs. Dodds lunged at Percy, and so Katie punch her hard. Hard enough that somehow, she flew through the air and crashed into the wall hard enough to leave a crack. Steadily and with some fear, she managed to stand, looking at her with horror and hate.
"You, what are you, not human but not god, your smell is different" She asked both in fear and hate at once as Nathan coughs holding his stomach, Percy goes to his side.
"Nathan are you ok" Percy goes to his side as he shakes his head.
"NO, my stomach is killing me and there is a bat monster right in front of us, and why do you have a sword?" Nathan holds his stomach in pain after noticing Percy holding a sword.
"Why does Percy have a sword, Katie needs a sword" Terry said looking around for a weapon as Katie stands her ground in front of the bat monster who growls at her. Sydney looking around sees a real looking spear, thinking fast she ran to it as The bat monster flies past Katie who tries to hit it flies straight to Percy.
Nathan seeing the monster coming for Percy, grabs his shoulder and puts himself between the monster.
"Lookout" Nathan throws Percy upside as He prepares to take the blow, as the bat monster stops flying toward him and away from Nathan with a scene of fear.
"What is this, I smell death and rot, disease" The bat monster cries out flying away from Nathan, Sydney makes it to the spear and throws it to Katie.
"Katie" Sydney called out throwing the spear with Katie catches it and points it at the monster, meanwhile Terry looks around, seeing if anyone is here or a fire alarm to call for help. Until he noticed a statue picture of 3 bat-like monster women that looked similar like the bat monster in front of them, looking between the two, a lightning bolt struck Terry's brain.
"Guys, that thing is Alecto, one of the Furies in Greek mythology. daughter of Ourano, Castration of men, sister of Tisiphone and Megaera," Terry calls out to everyone shock as now name Alecto starts to change, she grows bigger and now is holding two Fiery whips.
"I think I make it worse" Terry realise he fucked up.
"You think" Katie growls as Alecto whips her whips causing everyone to dodge and take cover. Sydney grabs another spear and stands by Katie as both Percy and Nathan stick together trying to protect one another.
Alecto screeches as she whips to Percy, Nathan pushes him to the side and they dodge the whips, Katie puts the spear in Alecto chest, making her screech in pain as Sydney throws the spear, hitting her back.
Alecto screeches again as she flies up, knocking both Katie and Sydney to their side as she uses her whip to grab both Percy and Nathan as they try to get up. Alecto flies up to them holding them with her whip while keeping her distance.
"Where is the bolt, Tell me or I'll rip out your heart" Alecto screech flying around as Percy tries to grab his sword but his arms are tied up and Nathan looks even sicker.
Alecto screech starts to dive to kill Percy, as Alecto dives head first with a screech as Nathan rolls over and vomits into Alecto's mouth. Alecto's eyes widen in shock as she drops down on her knees vomiting as well.
Terry, seeing an opportunity, pushes a pillar on top of Alecto as Katie and Sydney grab Percy and Nathan out of the way. Alecto stops vomiting only to look up and see a pillar falling on her.
Smahshshsh
Ducts gather as Everyone covers their eyes , looking around they come to a pine down Alecto with her body covered in the pillar and her wings broken, as she cries in pain.
Sydney quickly takes the whips away from the monster at Katie and Percy points their weapons at it.
"What the hell are you?" Katie asked, not truly believing Terry when he called it a fury.
"Why try to kill us?" Percy said, holding the sword, confident as it pin down.
"You would never escape your fate Percy, this aberration won't save you next time" Alecto said as it starts to laugh,
"hahahaha cough cough cough"
Only to choke and cough as it starts looking sick.
"Monsters can get sick" Nathan asked in shock as Percy stabs it, the cough monster turns to golden dust to shock everyone.
"How do you do that?" Terry asked him as Percy shakes his head not knowing, looking at his sword.
"Percy, did you see a demon grandma trying to kill us?" Katie asked if what she saw was true.
"Yes, Kat, I did." He nodded and Sydney looked at the whips she stole.
"I still have these things." Sydney said, holding the whips as she wraps them around her waist.
They went back outside, as it had started to rain.
Grover was sitting by the fountain, a museum map tented over his head. Nancy Bobofit was still standing there, soaked from her swim in the fountain, grumbling to her ugly friends. She saw them coming and commented.
"I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped your butt." she said, to their confusion.
"Who?" Percy said,
"Our teacher. Duh!" Nancy said as they all blinked. They had no teacher named Mrs. Kerr. Percy asked Nancy what she was talking about. She just rolled her eyes and turned away.
"Alecto must have use magic or something to mess if everyone" Terry figures as asking everyone about Miss Dudds end in the same results, even when question where the fuck this 'Mrs. Kerr' is.
Percy asked Grover where Mrs. Dodds was
"Who?" He said, but gets scared when Katie growls at him.
"The math teacher you stupid cripple" Katie demands as Grover paused first, and he wouldn't look at them.
"Not funny, man," Nathan told him. "This is serious."
Thunder boomed overhead.
They saw Mr. Brunner sitting under his red umbrella, reading his book, as if he'd never moved. Few of them narrow their eyes.
They went over to him as He looked up, a little distracted.
"Ah, that would be my pen. Please bring your own writing utensil in the future, Mr. Jackson." Mr Bunner asked for his pen, Percy didn't even realize he was still holding it. He was about to hand it over until Sydney stopped him.
"Sir, where's Mrs. Dodds?" Percy asked the same question to everyone else.
"Who?" He stared at him blankly.
"The other chaperone. Mrs. Dodds. The pre-algebra teacher, who ignores every bully that hurts Percy and can't grade paper correctly even when I'm holding it over her, then turns into Alecto the fury in your Greek mythos" Terry asked him, as thunder heard outside.
"Since when was there a thunderstorm today?" Nathan asked looking outside, as Mr Banner frowned and sat forward, looking mildly concerned.
"Terry, there is no Mrs. Dodds on this trip, it's only" Katie cut him off.
"You lie." Katie said, her tone as dark as she could make it. Brunner turned to her, so he got close. "Something strange is going on, you throw that pen that turns into a sword, I will find out and if you are continuing to lie, you will suffer for it old man." Grabbing Percy's arm, she turned and walked away with Percy, as others followed.
"If they are going to continue to lie, then it is us versus them. I do not trust liars, for any reason."
"Agreed." Percy nodded, unsure but very determined.
"Then we best learn all we can and prepare for what's next" Terry nods as Sydney nods holding that monster whip on her side with Nathen holding his mouth coughing but giving a thumbs up.
LINE
Chiron shivered at Katie's tone and it terrified him. Even among the many monsters he had seen, the gods and goddesses, something about the girl rang in a way that left a terrifying taste of blood in his mouth.
Such rage and hate was something he had never seen before.
He knew all four of Percy's friends were Demigods; it was impossible for mortals to physically beat a fury, or even get sick.
These children somehow slipped under Chiron radar which was surprising to say at least as more Demigods together attracted more attention. This wasn't a good thing and it boded far more trouble ahead than he liked. He had to be patient and figure it out, for all their sakes.
I love Percy Jackson and read many stories, as you can guess these are the children of the chaos gods from Warhammer 40K. Guess which one is which, as The Greek world will deal with Chaos Undivided, or maybe not. Who knows?
