Four hundred years later
Nyx POV
After all the years Father had finally gotten in contact with me. Tartarus had told me that he had contacted him once telling him to claim the boy Dean as his own and to teach him. He had told Tartarus that to win in the upcoming fight that they would need Dean. Tartarus had tried to question him more, he told me, but Father told him he would tell more when it was time. It was fine for Tartarus, since he had other problems. All of the monsters that were sent to him once they died were disappearing. They simply vanished, he had said. We knew it had to deal with the upcoming war, but we didn't know what. What could be out there strong enough to take all the monsters without my brother knowing? We simply didn't know the answer. It was getting on my nerves, all these secrets. This wasn't also to mention Percy's disappearance. I was getting tired, why couldn't there just be peace? She felt her husband's arms go around her.
"Things will settle down darling," he said reading my mind. I leaned on him.
"What about Percy?" He stiffen and didn't say anything. I knew this was because he wouldn't lie to me and he had no idea. Percy was also someone who we saw as a son. After helping to take care of him for a little over two thousand years, how could we not? It had devastated us when he had been lost. Even after all this time, we still felt a hole in our hearts. I looked up to see our other children, Aether and Hermera looking at us. They had lost Percy, well his other half, and he was like a son to them. Even Tartarus had considered Percy his nephew. I shook my head. I needed not to dwell on it. A black flash appeared, along with several others. I was surprise at what I saw in front of me. All of us primordials, except Gaea since she had been beating by Percy she would never again wake up, were now standing in the same room and none were trying take the other's heads off. In the middle was Father and a person who was cloaked. Whoever it was felt powerful, even more than I, which was saying something since I am the eldest of Father's children.
"Hello," Father said to us. "I have called you all here to gather something and then we shall move on to call all of our allies to Olympus to explain everything." I was happy that we were finally going to know the truth, but I wanted to strangle him for still making us wait.
"First, all of you to make a circle." We all did, forming a circle around him. The cloaked figure stood outside the circle. Father help out a small clear orb, that was the size of a pearl. It was a storage pearl, something that would hold immortal's powers.
"I want you to all share your blessings in the pearl." We were surprised. All of us? No one could handle that amount of power, the five blessings that Percy held had been pushing it, in fact I believed if it wasn't him that anyone else would have disintegrated from all the power. We all looked at another, but did as he said. When it was done pearl pulsed with power, our power. What was he going to do with that? Instead of telling us he pocketed it.
"Now let's move to Olympus. Erebus, please call of the Olympian's and just them." He nodded and I saw shadows leave his to do his bidding. Father and the cloaked person flashed out. We followed to Olympus. When we got there the were already Olympians were knelling to Father.
"Rise Olympian's I have called you here for a special reason." I saw him pull out another pearl. "I wish for you all to put your blessings in here." They looked at another, but did as he said. He pocketed that pearl also. So much power in one pocket in his robe, what was he planning on doing with it all?
"Was that all Lord Chaos," Athena asked confused. Father shook his head.
"No Lady Athena it is not. It is about time I owe all of you some explanations. For me to do that I need everyone here. All of the allies, the campers, the hunters, the amazons, the army, Poseidon, the minor gods and goddesses, everyone you think that should be here."
"We'll go get the Army," Aether said. He and Hermera flashed out. (Okay after every each saying they go get someone they flash out. I am too lazy to write that each time.)
"I'll grab my Hunt and whoever else is nearby," Artemis said.
"I'll get my Father," Triton said.
"I'll grab the Amazon's," Hera said.
"We'll grab the campers," Apollo and Dionysus left.
"I'm going to get my wife," Hades said.
"I'll go get the minor gods and goddess," Hermes said.
"I'll pick up any stragglers," Hephaestus said. The rest of us just had to stand there and wait. I was already impatient and this was not helping in the slightest. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. The cloaked figure and Father were looking at another. It looked like they were having a mental conversation. Who was the person in the cloak?
Person in Cloak POV (Though You Prolly Know Who He Is)
I still didn't understand what Chaos's plan was.
"What is going on here and what is with all the power you just collected? (P)
"I am about to tell everyone everything." (C) I rolled my eyes, which only he could see.
"No duh, but what is with all the steps?" (P)
"This power will help you defeat Destruction. (C)
"That much power would make someone explode, Hades even one of them together would do the trick." (P) He looks down and I put two and two together. He told me this would probably kill me. He meant it. I didn't know how to feel at this. Angry? Sad? Happy?
"I am sorry. I do not know how to do this any other way. I will explain later the whole thing. When you are together again." (C)
"You do know with your blessing on me and their blessing on my other half it will kill us to come together."(P)
"I will take his blessings away right before you two reunite." (C) I sighed. I thought the past four hundred years was tough with training. It sounded like I wouldn't make the next month.
Dean POV
I was flying above the trees looking for flashes of silver. I had gotten everyone else, even Thalia. Now I just needed to get Natasha. After a few more minutes of searching and intuition I found her. I folded my wings so I would make any noise and let myself drop. With my heightened sight I could tell she was in a tree and wasn't looking up. I was very lucky. I had the shadows catch me and slowed my descent. She didn't look up until it was too late and I had grabbed her. She screamed and I laughed. I decided to use that shadows and transport to the camp. When we exited the shadow I let go of Natasha who immediately turned around and slapped me.
"Warn me first you idiot!" I laughed as did her sisters.
"At least he didn't fly with you," Thalia said as she glared at me.
"I still don't know how a Daughter of Zeus is afraid of heights," I told her. She zapped me for it. It didn't hurt. I had a pretty high tolerance to pain, it was one of the gifts of being the Son of Tartarus.
"You know that never hurts." She zapped me harder and all I felt was a tingling sensation. I smiled at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Well I guess I won that game of tag like usual." The Hunt like to play tag with me. It made it challenging on them and I always won, even when Artemis played.
"I am glad to be your best friend," Natasha said. "I would hate to have you as an enemy." I laughed. That was when the bright flash of Artemis's arrival came. I turned to her with a smile when I noticed he nervous expression.
"What is going on My Lady," Thalia and I asked at the same time. It was kinda creepy how we did that sometimes. Okay ADHD needs to take a break.
"Chaos has finally shown up and asks for everyone to be at Olympus. He is finally going to talk about the upcoming war." I was surprised and nervous. I had been told by Father that I was a lead role in our victory. Artemis flashed us up to Olympus. Artemis sat in her throne, in fact all of the Olympians were in their throne. Poseidon was surprisingly there in a seat beside his son. All of the primordials were here and they had their own thrones. The Army sat in front of Aether and Hermera. Luke, who I had become good friends with, sat in a small chair near them since he was the commander. Each camp counselor and the Six sat in chairs like Luke's next to their parent's thrones. I had made great friends with them also, even though I was still mad at the Apollo cabin because of Natasha. The rest of the campers sat on the floor in front of their parents. The Amazon's sat in front of Hera, and the minor goddess and goddess, along with the rest of the spirits stood along the outer edge. Their children sat near them. The Hunt went to go sit in front of Artemis, while I went to my chair near Father.
That was when I noticed that two people stood in the middle of the room. One man that was tall in black robes. He had shoulder length hair that was tied up and his eyes had galaxies swimming in them. He didn't look old, but I could feel how ancient and powerful he was. He was much more than Father or any of the primordials here, including Nyx. He must be Lord Chaos. The person next to him was almost as tall. I couldn't tell much about him since he was wearing a cloak. I could tell her was powerful and I felt drawn to him. It was so weird that it sent shivers down my spine. I was the Son of the Pit, how could he send shivers down my spine.
"Now that we are all here let me start by apologizing to all of you." Chaos had everyone's attention. He turned to Poseidon.
"I am sorry to you." He turned to Annabeth.
"I am sorry to you." Then he turned to the rest of the six and said sorry. He turned to Nyx and Erebus and apologized. He turned to Luke, Silena, Zoe, Bianca, Charles, Hermera, and Aether to apologize to them. He finally turned to Father and apologized to him.
"Now that I have apologized the majority of the people my mistake hit the hardest I will tell you what it was. In the beginning there was no universe. It was myself and my twin brother Destruction. We didn't see eye to eye and I had to scatter him. I then created the universe. Billions upon billions of years later he started to reform. I hoped that he would just go away. That was my mistake, not scattering him again when he was weak. Instead I ignored him and by the time I even looked I saw a future that I now could not stop. I saw him talking to Kronos to get his revenge. To use the gods' children against another. I then saw him using my own daughter to also destroy the world. In each these wars I saw something, no, someone special. I saw my great, great grandson Perseus Jackson defeat them and sacrifice himself to do so against my daughter. I saw this and let it happen. I then let him be tortured for around two thousand and five hundred years before I sent my children to get him. By then it he had split himself from all the torture he had to endure." The floor started shake and we all turned to Poseidon.
"YOU KNEW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND LET MY SON GET HURT ANYWAY?! He was furious.
"Please calm down Poseidon and let me finish. We can talk after this is all settled." The ground stopped shaking and Poseidon sat down, but he still looked furious. Chaos then continued as he did my head started to hurt more and more. "You know what happened to him until Gaea and he fell again. You see she had the blessing of Destruction to do so. Not, the full blessing because she wouldn't have survived, but just enough to make her stronger at the last second. Percy then was taken by Destruction where he was tortured again. Destruction made it seem that Percy had never left his first cell and that the second time he spent with the majority of you was a lie. He tortured Percy for twenty straight years with no pause. When Destruction finally went away I went to him to get him out, but Percy refused. He did not want to be tricked again. I was surprised to see him sane. No one had ever before lasted that long with my brother and stay sane. I was not able to get him and waited for seven years. Also during this time I convinced Poseidon to step down so he would not destroy the Earth. By the time the seven years had gone by Percy could no longer talk due to the torture he had went through. He was still sane though, and I introduced myself. I told him how he was being tricked, but he still did not believe me. I waited five more years and by that time he couldn't eve lift his head. It was being held up for him by a metal band."
By this time all that had known Percy were in tears, including my Father who I had never seen cry. Also by this time my head was absolutely killing me and it was getting hard not to sit still.
"I finally convinced him that he needed to come with me and that you guys were in trouble and he needed to save his family. Even though he still didn't believe that this was reality he came with me. He couldn't take the chance of you all dying. He had to save his loved ones."
"WHY?! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE HIM?!" Annabeth screamed as tears ran down her face. Aiden moved away from his father and went to her. She cried into his arms.
"Where is my son now," Poseidon asked.
"You son rested for a hundred years and then I started to train him to save us all." I now couldn't concentrate, my head hurt too much. I clutched it. Breathing was all I could do.
Third Person POV
Everyone was alarmed at the Dean, enough to draw attention away from Chaos and to him. Dean was holding his head and groaning.
"Dean are you alright?" Tartarus asked. Dean didn't answer, instead his moans grew worse. This frightened the people who knew him. They knew how much of a pain tolerance he had. If he wasn't able to function, then pain he was going through was enough to kill most people, probably even some gods. Chaos and the cloaked figure walked up to him
"You poor child, I will stop your pain." He put his hand on Dean and the others watched in amazement and horror as the boy's wings melted off him and his hair grew a tad lighter in color. Chaos turned to the cloaked figure. "It is time." Chaos moved out of the way so that the man could kneel in front of Dean. He put his hands on Dean and the boy immediately went still. His head quickly snapped up to stare at the man in the cloak. Many people gasped, his eyes were now sea green and he looked like Percy.
"Is it final time," Dean asked. The figure nodded and Dean took his hood off. The two looked like identical twins and clones of Percy, the only differences between the two was the power the one in the cloak held and his eyes were specked with different colors.
"What is going on," Nyx whispered. She was in shock at what she was seeing, clones of the boy she considered her son and one of them felt more powerful than she. Both boys turned their heads to her and then turned back. They stood and reached out to another. A black light enveloped the two and when it was gone only one boy stood. He was dressed in the black uniform that Dean had been wearing, but had the eyes of the cloaked boy. He turned to everyone.
"It is nice to see you all again. I have missed you." Poseidon came to his son. He couldn't believe the same thing had happened again to him.
"Percy?" The boy smiled.
"The one and only." Poseidon froze not knowing what to do. To hug his son joyously or hit either Chaos or him. They had put him through Hades again. He settled for yelling.
"Why were you split again!?" Percy flinched and looked at Chaos.
"I did that, without doing so Percy would not have been ready to stop Destruction. He needed to stabilize himself and he needed to train. We didn't have time to waste so I split him and sent one half over to be Tartarus's son and kept the other to train with me and the other primordials since I knew the one sent here would get trained by you all." (Wow so confusing. Basically he wanted Dean to stabilize and be trained by the ones on Earth and the five primordials that originally blessed him, while the other half trained with the other primordials and Chaos.)
"What is his part in the war," Nyx asked. Chaos sighed.
"To get rid of Destruction, while making his final sacrifice. Percy will kill Destruction, but causing himself to disappear from the Universe forever."
