Hey Everyone! I hope you liked my end from last chapter. Anyway here is the next. I also noticed that no one comment. Well I am happy you are all reading and voting. I really do need your help however. I need followers for Destructioin...which you meet in this chapter...so it can't be Titan's or Gaea for obvious reasons. So I can't write anymore until I have followers of Destruction. Please give me more ideas so I can write! Thank you! Me no Rick Riordan.


Chaos POV

I knew that my brother had started to reformed from when I had scattered him, long ago. I had left him go, hoping that he wouldn't regain strength. I did not want to fight him again. I was mistaken, as I ignored him he had grown stronger and stronger. He was on the verge of fully awakening now. He had decided to take over Earth first, using the planet's energy to fully awaken so he could go against me again. He used his niece Gaea, to aid him in this, along with her children and the Titans. I still didn't interfere as I knew that my daughter would be vanquished by one of my great, great grandchildren. I thought I had been prepared for his sacrifice, but as I watched the hero grow up and go to Tartarus I felt guilty. I sent my loyal children to rescue and help him and to give him a weapon I had fashioned myself. By that time it was too late, and he had faded only to be reformed into two different pieces, a shell and a soul. His shell had been rescued by three of my children, while the soul had been transported to two of their children. The child remained split for millennia as the soul couldn't bear the pain it left the shell to.

During the time, by brother had decided to try and use Gaea to rise again, but this time he was going to use the hero, knowing that Perseus was either going to be his ticket back or his down fall. Destruction, now out of pawns to use, since Perseus and his parts had gotten rid of the rest, did his own dirty work. I watched as he played with Perseus's mind making him think that he never left Tartarus, that Kronos and the others that had tortured him was still doing so. I watched as Earth and those that he had come in contact with again mourned for his death. That was when I decided that I could no longer stay back and watch, that I had to do something to stop my brother. The first thing being to help Perseus.

 Poseidon POV

I watched in horror as my son was again taken from me, as he fell back into the ground.

"Brother find him," Nyx yelled at Tartarus. She was almost in tears. I instead felt cold, like ice with no emotion but emptiness. Tartarus disappeared and we all waited as many were crying and upset. After what seemed like years, Tartarus finally appeared again. He seemed to look even gloomier, if that was possible.

"I can't find him Sister. He isn't in my domain. I do not know where he is at." My heart felt crushed. I looked around to find many in tears, but it was like I couldn't shed anymore. Like this wasn't real at all.

"Can someone please explain to us what is going on," Athena finally asked. She was pale, but her curiosity was getting the best of her. Nyx turned to all of us.

"Years ago our Father came to Erebus, Tartarus, and myself in a dream. He told us that we needed to rescue someone and to give him a sword crafted by himself. He told us the story of Perseus Jackson and his location. When we got there however, the person there wasn't Perseus, it was a shell of his former self that we named Ani̱leí̱s. Perseus had faded and wasn't strong enough to reform after all that had been done to him, so to protect himself he split into two. Like Father had asked, we gave him our blessings and the weapon, he named Reaper. Father then told us to train him and when our sister Gaea reawakened to send him up to defend Earth. For millennia we trained him and when the time came we sent him up.  During the time he was with us he was plagued by nightmares of his time being tortured, so I made it so that he would sleep only the minimum that his body would allow. I also made it so he didn't have to eat since he could not. He was in a retched state and we tried to take care of him like a child. You know the rest about his shell. We'd have to ask our children and their Army to see about his soul." Hermera stepped forward.

"I am guessing around the same time that our parents and uncle found Percy's shell, Ani̱leí̱s, his soul, which we named Gennaíos, appeared in front of my husband and Luke. He was mute and had no recollection of his past. After trying to check his memories and failing, we decided to put him in the Elite Unit to keep an eye on him. He wasn't strong like the rest, but he kept them together with his personality. He was like a younger brother to the unit and we all loved him. When the mission to come here arisen, he started to have flash backs, which caused him pain. He however, still came and you all saw what happened. We had no idea that he was the soul of Percy Jackson when we blessed him and took him in."

"How was he able to be taken by Gaea, if he was blessed by you all," Athena continued her questions.

"That we do not know," Tartarus said. "Whatever power took him it was more powerful than what our sister possesses. It was something lent to her, by whom she referred to as He. There was some symbol on her forehead, but I we weren't able to make out what it was. Unfortunately we have no idea where he is or who took him. Gaea and the Titans have been put to sleep permanently thankfully to the sword Reaper, so they shouldn't be able to harm him any longer."

"Whatever took him is," Athena stated.

"So my son is most likely still getting tortured," I asked. Everyone looked at me in shock. I didn't understand why.

"Are you alright Brother," Hestia asked. She looked worried as she approached me. I didn't know I was cold, until I felt her blazing heat against my skin. "You look like you are in a thin sheet of ice."

"I don't know. I just can't believe it. He was here and then he was gone. He is gone again and is still in pain." Hestia hugged me, but all I felt was a pain from her heat that wouldn't melt me. She let go giving me a sad look.

"You have given up Hope my brother. I cannot help you if you do that." I looked her in the eyes.

"What hope should I have Sister? He already came back once from something he shouldn't. Now he has been taken from something stronger than all of us together. There is no Hope for his return now." With that I let the mist around me take me home.

Luke POV

It was difficult to watch everything go down. Everything was almost upside down. My best friend for the past few millennia was Percy's soul. His shell had been a champion to my Masters' parents and uncle. He had single handedly stopped Kronos and Gaea before again being taken by something that controlled Gaea. Poseidon looked like the whole world had stopped and left. The rest of us stood there looking to the five Primordials to see what to do, even the gods were at a loss of what to do. 

"What will we do now Aether and Hermera," I asked. They in turned, looked at their elders who seemed to be having a silent conversation to themselves.

"Mother, Father," Hermera finally said bringing the three out of their conversation. Nyx and Erebus looked at their Hermera. "What do we do now?"

"Whatever helped Gaea take Perseus felt malevolent, we could tell this much about their power or powers, depending on how many," Nyx stated. I never thought it could be a lone being, since besides Chaos no lone being could hold us all back from saving Percy. Chaos had given him a weapon and had instructed his children to rescue Percy, so I doubted it was Chaos.

"We believe that there might be another war to come from this unknown force or forces," she continued. "Thus, I think it is in our best interest to be prepared for war. It could start tomorrow, it could start in a couple hundred years. Aether and Hermera keep training your soldiers as well as help train the demi gods and gods here on Earth. Perseus started to train them, but I think your training will help also. I think it is safe enough for your soldiers to do this, since you are not allowed by Ancient Law to interfere. We three will keep watch for what is to come and for Perseus. We will also try and seek council from Father, but there is no guarantee that he will respond." With that the three disappeared in a shadow.

Chaos POV

I had forgotten how patient and steadfast my brother was. I wanted to get Percy out as soon as possible, but Destruction stayed with him for years torturing him and then waiting for him to reawaken. He never left the room, he was too pleased with his work and I knew at the same time he was waiting for his power to finish gathering up. Finally after twenty years Destruction grew bored and had other things to handle for his return. He left Percy. It was my chance to grab him.

 Percy POV

I had no idea how long I had been in this cell. I was surprised at all the new tortures that they had come up with. They had been brutal and relentless. I opened my eyes and was shocked as I lifted my head. There was no pain. In front of me stood a man who looked at me with galaxies in his black eyes. He was dressed in a black suit and his hair was tied back. This was new. Had they found something better to torture me with?

"Hello Perseus." His voice was deep and seemed to have pity in it. "I have come to rescue you." That is when it clicked. They were trying to put me through another memory to make it seem like I escaped the cell again. No way. I couldn't do it again.

"You are going to have to do better than that," my voice was raspy after not using but only for screaming. "I will not fall for that trick again." They man stepped forward and lifted his hand. I shrank back from it and he stopped.

"This is not a trick Perseus and neither was before." He's lying. You know it. This is just another one of their tricks to torture you more. You never have and never will escape this cell.  The voice in my head was right.

"Please just leave." The man tilted his head.

"As you wish, but I will be back to offer again. Just remember Perseus this is not the same cell. You did get out and become blessed by five Primordials. You are now in here by another who is torturing you. He keeps changing his form to make you think that you are still there." With that the man left and I was thankfully alone.

Chaos POV

I went down to help Perseus and I was surprised at what I had found. I thought he would be insane by now. After twenty years at the hands of my brother, that was feat that no one had done. The most anyone had ever lasted was a week before they went insane. How could he hold up? I wanted to take him away immediately, but with him still being sane and thinking it was another trick I couldn't. If I'd taken him it would have made it look even more that it was a trick and not real. Instead I left and watched as Destruction comes back in to torture him.

 Seven Year Later

 Chaos POV

He left Perseus again. It is time to try.

 Percy POV

I woke up to find myself again in the presence of the black eyed man. He hadn't shown up in what seemed like forever. I thought I had gone insane and imagined him. At least if I had started to go insane it would eventually stopped hurting.

"Hello again Perseus. I am sorry for last time. I did not introduce myself. I am Chaos, creator of the Universe. I am again here to help you escape from my brother Destruction. He has kept you here under the assumption that you have never escaped from your other cell and are still being tortured by the ones from your time in Tartarus. In fact you are not even the same dimension and he puts up an illusion that he is your previous torturers." Again with the trick of escape. When would they get it through their dumb brains that I wouldn't be fooled again? I opened my mouth to talk, but only raspy noises came out, no words. The torture had gotten worse lately and I was no longer able to talk. Instead I let my head hang again to answer the question.

"I will be back Perseus."

 Chaos POV

The poor soul could no longer speak from Destruction's torture, but still kept his sanity. I wanted to try and convince him more, but I felt that Destruction was coming back and I couldn't have him knowing that I was visiting Perseus. The others preparing for war were still training, making use of the time differences between Aether and Hermera's dimension verses Earths. The Earth was changing, however due to the fact that Poseidon had lost Hope. The Earth was getting colder and colder. Everyone was afraid that he would send it into another Ice Age. It was time I put a stop to that too. I would have to pay attention to when Perseus was left alone and in between to get Poseidon out of his cold personality.

 Five Years Later

 Chaos POV

I had finally gotten Earth situated. At first I did not want to make direct contact, since I had not answered my children's calls. When nothing seemed to stop him I went to him in a dream. I told him that he either needed to stop or hand off his position to his other son Triton. He handed over his position and now Triton was the Olympian and Master of the Seas. I hoped that he would be just and also that everyone would keep Poseidon from fading. I knew once I got Perseus back and he saw his son that Poseidon would be better. I also knew the Triton would hand the position back. I needed to get Perseus as soon as possible. Even once I got him it would take more time to get him back to health and ready to face Destruction.

 Percy POV

I could no longer lift my head by myself. It was now kept up by a brace. I had lost all communication and couldn't even scream. Because of this my torturers had gotten bored and made the tortures even more painful. I knew it was only a matter of time before they finally got tired and killed me. It had to have been forever since I came here. I opened my eyes slightly, for I couldn't open them fully anymore. The man who said he was Chaos stood there, his eyes full of pity.

"Please Perseus," he begged. "Let me take you away. I know you do not believe that this nor any time before was true. If I take you, though you will get better. Wouldn't you rather get better?" Would I? This was just a ruse to get me to heal so that they could have more fun once I was better, like before. I would rather they just kill me now so I could fade forever.

"Perseus, people you love will die if you do not come with me. Do you really want to risk that on the assumption that this is all fake? Will you really take that chance?" Was I? I mean I had so many different memories of them, I hardly knew what was true. In some they hated me and others they loved me. Which was real?

"Does it matter? They are your family. Don't you want to protect them? If you do not accept this time all of them will be lost and tortured like you." He was right. It didn't matter. I would still protect them, even if they hated me. I would be selfish if I denied to be rescued, of course they were probably manipulating me. I couldn't let that chance be taken, I couldn't let them die. I would go, even if it was fake.

"Thank you Perseus." The cell then melted away. I couldn't move and was lying on my back. Chaos stood over me. "Sleep and rest. You need it. With that I found myself in a peaceful darkness.

500 Years Later 

Somewhere  

Destruction POV

I had been entertained with my new doll, though towards the last I saw of him it was getting a little boring. I was planning on fixing that when I was going to see him next. I had been so interested in my doll that been putting off taking over the Earth. My followers were getting agitated at this and so I left for a little while to set them straight, to show them who was the Master. When I got back my doll was gone and I sensed that Chaos had been here. He had to go and STEAL MY TOY! To say I had been unhappy was an understatement. I had been FURIOUS! So much I had seethed about it for around a hundred years. It taken me some time and some pain on others for my anger to be fully vented out. After I had vented it all out I set my plans in motion. I was going to take over Earth to finish gathering energy and kill Chaos. I would take my doll back and he would forever be mine to play with.

Okay this has been edited. If I missed anything please let me know! Thank you!
