The Underworld
Percy grabs thanotos by the collar shaking with rage his eyes a violently calm shade of deep sea green. The storm raging below the surface showing withing the swirls of colour. "Where. Is. She." He says emphasizing each word with eery calm.
"She's... no longer in the underworld." Hades says slowly being careful not to agravate the already terrifyingly violent god further.
Percy's head snaps toward him his gaze making the god of the underworld, first born son of Kronos and Rea, the most powerful of the three eldest olympian brothers, fall to his knees crumpling under ghe weight of percy's power. Though just as soon as it started it vanished completely. Loking up he sees a missing percy and doesn't sense him any where in the underworld. Worried about the world above he opens an iris message and before he can say anything iris appears in the rainbow with a worried look on her face and says "hes not up her I felt the power spike and knew something was wrong considering it came from your domain. I immediately knew it wasn't you and then felt percy there with you just before almost passing out from the aura he radiated. I figured he would head somewhere desserted but hes not on planet earth at all."
Hades paled even more than normal. "Please inform the council that ill be up for an emergency meeting and that they need to allow me in. Tell Hestia and only Heastia its a chaotic matter. She'll know what it means. Ill be there in ten minutes."
Iris' eyes widen in fear as if Hades is calling a council meeting and giving information thaf only the eldest son and daughter of Kronos and Rea will understand then things are realy dire. Though Not wanting to waste time she nods her head and disconnects.
Hades turns to Thanatos saying "keep an eye out for our missing soul and inform sally and paul please." Then flashes out.
Olympus throne room
Hestia is sitting at the heart having been called her by Iris deep in thought about what to do about Estelle when she sees the goddess she's waiting for come in looking pale and fearfull. Concern covering her face and filling her voice she rushes over taking Iris' hands in her own saying"what wrong what happend"
"Hades is calling a council meeting sand told me to tell you and only you its a chaotic matter. "
At this the flames jn the hearth vanished leaving glowing green signifying absolute fear. Hestia raises a shaky hand shooting a flame into the sky calling a emergency council meeting as each god flashes in slowly first Hera then Hermes Then Athena then Zeus. Just as Zeus flashes in Hestia looks at him and says her voice shaking "Ze-Zeus you n-ne-need to call ever-everyone now!"
"Why what has happend?"
"Athena look at my flames. I can't explain until everyone including and minor gods wo are able and thought i am loath to say it Poseidon need to be her now! Get him to do it!"
Athena looks at the hearth and gasps never having seen such fear emanating from it and says " fath-father just do i-it no-now!" Her voice shaking is enough to worry Zeus so he sends the summons and soon the entire room is filled with gods and goddesses. Ever god and goddess is in attendance looking very confused as most are not usually welcome in the councils. Befor anyone can say anything hades appears and goes to Hestia and wraps her in a hug wispering just for her ears "its herand she has percy i fear it's beginning."
Heastia nods and her and hades begin to explain in and otherworldly tone much like the fates but less powerful.
"when we the six children of Kronos and Rea where born tge fates camd to the two of us and embued us with a knowledge only the most powerful of the daughter and son of them could know. The primordials are not the oldest of the immortals nor is void. There at two older the very first being existing before creation its self for you see not even void can exist outside creation as he needs his siter to exist. yes void is not an only child there is two void and creation. And one cannot exist with out the other. However there are two who are older they are Order and Chaos. Brother and sister they gave birth to void and creation and as such dont fade but choose successors and pas their power on. These successors are called the acolytes of Order and Chaos. Our newest god perceus jackson has been chosen by chaos we believe as she is the light and beauty and goodness of the world. We do not know who Order has chosen but we suspect he has stolen Annabeth's soul and corrupted it as his. The only reason we are able to share this information is that as they have chosen they're acolytes there is a war coming between the two just as there has been ech time theyve chosen and those who are against Percy need to either choose a side or run. Run far away and hope its far enough for he will not be bound by our rules and will have the power to snap his finger and make you fade no god or goddess is a match for him now. The entirety of this chamber could rise agaist him and he would only break a sweat. So for those of you who have angered him such as Poseidon has i hope you survive but im afraid you most likely wont see the end of the year without some serious groveling and injury." As they finish they collapse passed out. The entire throne room is silent for all of twenty seconds before the chaos erupts. Everyone shouting over everyone.
As they argue they don't notice the new presence in the room until he booms out "SILENCE" making every importal in the room except the one who spoke and a hooded women next to him fall to their knees and shut up. Pulling down their hoods they see two figures. The one on the left looks like percy with the exception of his eyes the are a kaleidoscope of color. Thought they aren't like Aphrodite's for hers have only the bright beauty in the his are bright and dark and only show one at a time flickering between red, black, violet, sky blue, brown, forest green, sea green, though they eventually settle on nothing at all. They are empty more empty than the void. They are the colour of non-existence. "Now I believe it is proper to introduce my companion. Gods goddesses i would like you to meet the Lady Chaos my adoptive mother and patrion."
"hello all nice to meet you all." she drawls in a very regal brittish accent. Turning to percy she says " well if your done with the dramatic entrance I believe ill head back home see you for dinner"
"yes ill see you tonight mom" Percy replys kuss hus mother on the cheek befor she vanishes into blackness leaving a afterimage for a split second. Turning back to the olypians he looks at the minor gods and goddesses and says "those of you who wish may stay the rest may go. As for you 12 you all need to hear what i have to say." He Pauses to let those who wish leave, though after none do he continues, "i have one thing to say before we begin Poseidon come forward." the god in question trembles as he kneels before his son he betrayed. "Father I and my mother both of them have deemed you unworthy of you god hood as such we are removing your immortality and placing in the mortal world as my replacement as mortal hero. Though should you make one wrong move, one step away from the heros path I will not hesitate to end you. And theres another catch you can't fully die you have no soul. Should your body be destroyed you will spend 100,000 years reforming under my watch out side space time you will have been gone for a week in earth time but you be in constant excruciating pain you cannot even fathom. I will make Tartarus look like a relaxing day in a sunny feild of daisys so dont test me" with that he snaps his fingers and and black glow envolps him as he srinks to a height of 5"10' and his godly glow vanishes. " for now you will stay in cabin three untill i find your replacement and find you a someone to be a child of though I believe slave is more appropriate as thats all demigods used to be under Zeus' rule. Now as for the rest of you im in charge now Zeus you will stay on your throne but I am the general in charge everything that happen i will be informed of or Poseidons fate will be yours as well." With that said his eyes change back to a more natural look though the observent of those in the room notice that they are a bright orange and forest green rather than their sea green and Poseidon has vanished. "Now any questions?"
Athena is the first to speak. "So I've gathered that your eye colour change has to do with your disownment of HIM but what or should i say who do they represent if i may ask"
percy chukles responding with. "Of course you would be the one to notice that. I dint mind they repersent Hestia and Artemis. They were always my favorite from the stories my mom, my mortal mom that is, told me I had alot of respect for Artemis and her hunters and while at the time I didn't fully belive in them I also hoped that I would someday meet them and be allowed to join so i could escape."
"escape what?" Artemis asks.
Percy cringes serverly before regaining his composure. " Very well Chaos says i need to open up about my past more i need access to everyones mind so i can show you. I dont know that i can talk about it without breaking down." After getting consent from each individual immortal in the room he begins to open his mins to the memories.
Meet me on the battlefield by SVRCINA plays for this flashback. Trigger warning talk of child abuse, and acholism.
Flashback of percy's child hood Jackson apartment
theres a fat balding man sitting at a poker table surrounded by beear cans and cigar smoke. He's just lost a hand and is angerly shouting "fuck! Hey boy get your faggot ass in here. And bring me another beer." Soon percy appers in the room he looks scrawny and malnourished even for his age which is about 6 in this memory. Head down he hands the bottle to the man saying "here your go smelly gabe." The man now identified as gabe turns a bright red as he stands drunkenly yelling. " what did you just call me cunt. You will adress me as sir." Percy cringes as gabe brings the bottle down over his head drawing blood. Taking the broken bottel he jams the sharp edges in to his shoulder breaking off peices on the way out before jamming it in all over untill percys covered in shards. "Now look what you done. Uou ruined a perfectly good beer." He then proceeds to kick percy in the stomach repeatedly until he curls in a ball to proect himself. Seeing that hes not inflicting much damage he moves around to the other other side and kicks him har in the back till theres a shrap crack and percy crys out in agony. Gabe grabbing percy by the throat and squeezing till percys fighting to breath says "you say one word to any one and your bitch mother dies. God you disgusting faggot. Go clean yourself up." Percy barely able to move crawls to the bathroom and draws a shower to clean the blood and glass off him.
Suddenly the scene changes.
Trigger warning depictions of sexual assault with a minor and child abuse and suicidal thoughts and actions.
Percy is now 9 and is sitting in the kitchen with his mother and a blue cake celebrating his birthday blows out the candles and silently wishs "Artemis if your real, if your out there please even if you cant save me save my mom shes to beautiful to be with this man and i know i cant save her. I dont even deserve her. If you can take her away i will be able to stand up to him so he can kill me. Just please save her that is my wish." Just as sally finished cutting the cake she gets a call and tells percy she has to go in to work. After he assures her its fine she get her keys and after wishing him a happy birthday and lots of blue candy from work she leaves. Just as the car pulls away gabe come in smelling like horrible cigars and cheeps booze. Noticing percy he grins and says " boy come here and take off your clothes its time you became a proper man." Percy confused and scared does as hes told and stands in front of the man. Who grabs him by the neck dragging him to the master bedroom and throws him down tying his arms and legs to the bed post and takes his pants off. And begins to defile the young boy in the most horrendous ways for hours on end this goes on before they here sally shut the car door and he stops. Sending percy back to his room with another warning to say nothing he get dressed. Percy goes back to his room and lays down in bed sobbing quietly untill his mom comes in. She sits down on his bed and he pretends he's asleep and she srokes his hair lovingly giveing a kiss to his head saying " good night my little pearl."
Back in the real world the connection ends and just about every god and goddess in the room throws up and all of them immediately loose their temper auras flairing so much that the room fills with different aspects of each of their respective domains. Percy having had enough roars "enough I have moved on dealt with this trauma and do not need you to fight my battles for me!" Noticing that the only two goddesses who didn't do anything he turns to Artemis and hestia and goes to the former and kneels before her saying " do not blame yourself for this my lady i know now that even had you heard my prayers you could have done nothing to intervene i do not blame you for this." Artemis who has started sobbing at this point gets on her kness with him and hugs him tightly shocking everone in the room. "Percy i want you to know thaf had i known he would not be here today he would be in the feilds of punishment serving the worst possible sentence he could."
percy pulls back and looks her in the eyes with all the respect and care in the world abd replies"im sorry i should have known mt mom was stroger than i knew for when she found out even the little bit i told her, wich was a fraction of you know, then she immediately took Medusa's head and sold him as to a art gallery titled the poker player" turning to hades he continued "and he is serving the worst the feilds of punishment has to offer right?"
hades pulls out his tablet and checks then scowls and say in a feirce snarl "I belive i need to replace minos on the judges council as he is currently in the feilds of aphsodelle though i assure you while we may have our difficulties you have my eternal respect nefew and he will have his own section opened just for him and any god or goddess may come and go from there as they please to help in his eternal torture."
Percy nods and turns to Hestia who has been oddly quiet through this whole ordeal looking paler than hades. "Hestia whats the matter you look horrible. Well worse than everyone else anyway." He asks hoping to cheer her up and lighten the mood. Unfortunately it has the opposite effect for her. Growing very concerned he checks her temperature with the back of her hand only for her to swat it away and physically run out crying. No flash, no magic other than she ages down to a six year old as she goes out of veiw. A six year old percy is the only one to recognize. Understanding dawning on his face he immediately lets out a pained squeak and turns to the hall looking completely brokenhearted whispering in a strained voice everthing "else will wait meeting dismissed." Before flashing to hestias palace leaving a bunch of very confused immortals.
Hestias palace
percy appears outside the grounds not wanting to trespass he rings the gat bell ands just as hes about to leave they swing open allowing entry. Taking his queue he walkis up to the doors and pushes them open. As he moves throughout the palace trying to find Hestia he grows more and more worried so he says "Hestia can you come out or show me where you are?" Knowing that she can here him from any where as long as hes in her palace he waits for some sign. And soon a orange glowing line appear on the floor. As he follows it the line disappears into smoke behind him. Soon hes at the door to what appears to be the master bedroom. pushing the door he enters to find his only childhood friend until grover. The girl he knew as sasha. Thinking about it now she moved away just before he met grover. "Hestia you where Sasha." He asks gently, sitting on the edge of her bed. She nods in reply. Sighing he picks her up cradleing her in his arms head tucked his shoulder. "Shh. Shh. Its alright. I'll tell you what i told Artemis its NOT your fault and i DO NOT blame you. You both are my favorite goddesses. Heck your my Favorite Immortals. Though i should tell you i had quite a crush on Sasha. Heh i had a crush on a virgin goddess before i know that i was a demigod. Whait is that why you where my friend because you knew who i was?"
"maybe at the start. I was more curious about your mother though Poseidon is many things but disloyal in not usually one of them. Mind you what you did was the right thing he deserved exactly what you did to him. But anyway as i got to know you i truely became your friend and actually had a major crush on you which only grew as you did and might still be growing" Hestia finished with a deep blush turing away.
"ok. Wait what but you're a sworn virgin. What hold on can you be a adult for this conversation its realy weird talking this way to a six year old. And i know your not actually six but old thoughts die hard. Hell even after the 15,000 years i spent with chaos traing i still cant get rid of some."
"15,000 YEARS. YOUVE BEEN GONE 15,000 YEARS"
"oops yeah. Not important now please I'd prefer to tell my story once."
"fine but you are going to share it." Hestia pouts
"of course i will at the very least to those of you I consider family at heart. By the way you look adorable as a pouting six year old but i really would like to talk about this with your older form"
At that Hestia transforms till shes about 22 and says still pouting " there happy."
"very now you had a crush on me even though your sworn to maidenhood."
"well yes and no. I did have a crush on you but im now technically a sworn maiden i just never found the one for me though I do still have a crush on you making me think its you. So percy jackson i know you'll probably say no as your devoted to annabeth but you go on a date with me?" Hestia say starting to mumble towards the end.
Percy absolutely shocked at this decides to shock her right back by saying "yes"
"wait really yes oh i cant wait ill let you plan it if you want. Wait but what about annbeth." Hestia squeels befor percy gets a dark look in his eyes and say "that part of the story ill shar with everyone. Come on ive kept them waiting long enough im sure Athena is about to explode with questions."
Olympian throne room
percy and Hestia walk in hand in hand with hestia blushing feircly. They wanted to see if they could actually make Athena's head explode and this was the best thing to start rummors around olympus. "Ok where do you want me to start Athena" percy asks.
"why not ask anyone else punk?" Ares asks surprisingly respectfully. Well except for the punk but thats just ares.
"well because most of the time Athena is the only one with good questions moron" percy replies to wich ares grins in a friendly challenging way.
"why not at the beginning and then just move foward from there please." Athena says.
"very well"
Flashback 15,000 years Chaos time
just before percy lets loose a wave of power that would destroy the underworld in it's entirety he is trasported out by some unknown and eds up in a place outside space and time. A place that radiates copleatly nothing. No power no sence of fear no anger no calm no nothing. Not even the void felt this way. In the void he feld empty and scared plus he couldn't see beyond the edge he was on and he got the feeling that if there was something else here he could see it from any distance if that even existed here. Now that hes calmed down he starts to wonder how he got here. "Hello my champion" a voice rings out from the emptiness. "My name is Chaos." as the voice saysa that a woman cloaked in stars and galaxies appears in front of him. "I would like you to be my acolyte, my successor and most of all my son. I know you just lost your real mother and I know I can't replace her. I dont wish to either but I've been watching you and I am sure your the hero I want to be well me when the time comes. I know this is a lot to process so take all the time you need time doesn't exist here exactly so you will goo back to the moment you disappeared either way. "
Percy interrupted her saying "yes I accept" and kneels before her. "I accept I need a misson now more than ever the soul of my loved one is missing and with out her or a purpose I don't know that i could continue"
Chaos looks sadly at her new hero bfore drawing him up with the worry and sorrow of a mother before saying "I'm so sorry but her soul is not the same. It was stolen boy my twin brother order and is no longer Annabeth and im afraid it never will be"
percy at hearing that his love is gone forever breaks down and crys.
After a long while he askes "If your brother and return souls to life can you?"
"yes. Is there anyone in particularyou wish?"
"yes i would like a team actually. Bianca di Angelo, Charles Beckendorf, Zoë Nightshade, Luke Castellan, and Silena Beauregard."
"Very well would you like them brought here as i do this"
percy nods his head as the people in question are brought bake to lif in front of him.
As they are about to ask lots of questions he hold up his hand and says "you are alive and this is lady Chaos. Not exactly sure what that means yet but shes nice. She brought you back for me and i am her acolyte. Whatever that means. Now i would like to offer you each a place at my side as team in another war this time agais her brother and a corrupted Annabeth. Im sorry luke i tried to save her but i was too late. Im so sorry. I understand if this means you wont join me. You all may live a normal life with no mosters but all your abilities if you so wish but if you want to join me in saving the world again then I suspect that Chaos has alot to tell us."
All but luke nod their head in accent to join. Perch looks at luke who wraps him in a bone crushing hug tears falling down his face. "Thank you for this I promise I won't ever betray you. And I'm so sorry for everything. For the war for all the grief for Annabeth. I loved her too. More than most know she was my sister in all but blood."
"i know luke i know. Now lets hear what we have to do."
"first percy and the rest of you have to train in my powers and then you will master every weapon in the universe. Then percy you will learn To master all the powers of the primordial council as they with to bless you. And before you protest they all are good now as your gods have greek and roman aspects the primordials have good and evil. Now lets go pay them a visit shall we.
The primordial council
sitting on 12 thrones in a full circle are
Tartarus
Erebus
Pontus
Chronos
Eros
Hemera
Ananke
Uranus
Nyx
Aether
Gaia
Ouranos
as they flash in gaia immediately steps down shrinking to a mortal size and kneels down before percy before practically begging" please forgive me i do not have any excuses for my actions and as such will take any punishment you with to give."
percy absolutely gobsmaked that she's apologizing to him says something super smart like "Uhh don't worry about it Chaos said youguys have evil and good sids like the greeks and romans."
gaia looked absolutely realived and sits back down back jn her original height.
Percy grows to his godly height of 75 feet and as he does his companions grow to a height of 70 thanks to percy. He summons thrones for them each and they all sit the room rearranged to be more like a kitchen with a table between them and Chaos at one end six primordials either side and percy and his companions at the other percy at the head. After the primordials bless him they begin to plan the next steps in his training. Percy will teach whips and shadow manipulation from nyx, Tartarus will be scyth and fear training, Erebus mace, pontos storm control and trident, chronus temporal manipulation and staff style weapons, eros emotion manipulation and bow, hermera light manipulation and halberd, anake sai and mental projection and control, Uranus astral manipulation and spear, aether spirt and flame manipulation and morningstar, gaia earth and nature manipulation and raiper, ouranos wind and lightning and war hammer and great ax.
end flash back
olympian throne room
"so yeah that pretty much all that matters oh and say hello to my team" percy says waving his hand behind him so his cloaked friends can come out. "And if any one tries to harm them i did forget to mention they also are blessed by the compleate primordial council and Chaos meaning they have all my powers at the same level and have been told they can kill any who truely threaten them and we know the difference so feel free to be casualy threatening. You know like friends would challenge eachother. And we would be happy to train with any who wish. Though for now i am out of commission as i need to see my sister Hestia ,Zoe would you come with.
Both girls jump and agree excitedly.
