Olympus POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He must not be allowed to continue living, he is a threat to Olympus and our power, he WILL be executed by my bolt." Zeus argued against a few gods, telling them that the new camper 'Perseus Jackson' was a threat to Olympus. After they watched him kill the Minotaur, that Zeus promised he didn't send, and soon after get claimed by the 14 most powerful being in existence. This fact scared them each to their very cores, except for a small girl that sat by the hearth and a pale god that sat on his underground, throne of darkness and smiled for the first time in centurys. "Brother, are we sure he is a threat, after all he is just a child. How could he fight any of us in combat while we have thousands of years of experience and he has next to none." Poseidon asked getting a glare of both shock and annoyance from Athena, surprised that he Uncle Barnacle-Beard had actually said something both smart and stupid. "Yes fish-face but even so, he would be more powerful than any of our children and with 14 primordials as parents, he will either grow to be stronger or have his parents join him in a fight with us. I think that we should cause his death without drawing the blame upon ourselves. We could maybe send a group of minor gods, he couldn't possibly beat even the weakest of them." The sounds of nods and hums in agreement spread through the room until every god that sat on a throne had agreed that he should be killed, but the goddess of the hearth and other ideas. Ever since she had awoken years prior to the last thing she could remember and she had been summoned before the primordials, she had watched Perseus Jackson and made sure he was safe. And now she had to protect him from her own family. "We could ally ourselves with him, and therefore appear kind to his parents and making them think before acting if they ever try to overthrow us." As many misunderstood about Hestia, she was very bright but tried not to show it as she didn't want to be thought of as prideful, much like a certain Ex-Son of the Sea. "The primordials are too powerful for us to defeat, at a stretch we could beat 1 but 14? We would be wiped from the face of the earth, especially if all 14 have come together and have created a child." Many of the gods,looked at the under appreciated goddess and thought for a moment about what she had said, it was true that they would be easily defeated but many of the gods were prevented from seeing the bigger picture by their hubris. Mostly these three were Zeus, Athena and Hera. "How could 14 old, dusty immortals defeat us?! We are strong and young, I would simply hit them with my bolt once and they would crumble into dust unless their knees fail first!" Zeus spoke with a booming laugh, obviously amused by the idea that he, the great King of Olympus, could be defeated by someone. And many of the gods agreed with him, they had defeated the Titans and Typhon, they had found a way to,live on after the age of the Greeks had passed, so how could someone defeat them when they were the strongest of all. Some of the gods that didn't immediately fall into pride, looked around and slowly began to agree with their family.
"So we will take a vote," Zeus began, "All those in favour of ending the life of the protegnoi spawn." Every Olympian raised their hands while Hestia scowled and Hades glared at them threw the Irís Message from the underworld. "So it shall be done." And as Zeus raised his bolt to throw it to the mortal realm, a flash of light surrounded the room as Zeus dropped his bolt with a yelp and the Olympians were transported to the Primordial Throne Room. As they looked around in fear, 14 voices all spoke in unison, "And what do you think you are going to do to our son?!"

"WHO ARE YOU TO KIDNAP US, I AM THE KING OF OLYMPUS AND YOU WILL BOW BEFORE ME!" Zeus bellowed at the figures and they appeared out of nowhere, each of them towering higher than any god. As all 14 finally took their physical forms and sat on their thrones, fear spread through the gods like wildfire and grew like an inferno. As lightening flickered around Zeus form, one of the people held his hand up and the lightening flowed into his wrist. As Zeus look in shock he cowered behind the rest of the gods until they shoved him to the front to be a gods 'King'. Athena was the first to break out of the trance and spoke out in a timid voice. "A...As my f...f...father said, who are you to interrupt and take us unwillingly from our throne room?!"
"We, girl, are the primordials," a man it's black eyes and dark skin said, "We keep the universe in order and are the most powerful beings in existence. And you threaten our son because of his parentage. You truly are a bunch of idiots." As then rest of the primordials glared at the Olympians, they paled in fear and immediately bowed before them. "Please, forgive me Lords and Ladies. I...I didn't know who we were talking to ." Zeus begged them, tears of fear streaming down his face. "And that is why we have made our decision. You fear those with more power than you and torment those that do not. For too long you Olympians have threatened the lives of innocents with your stupidity, and our son is the solution. He will be the one that decides if you are worthy of continuing your rule or are to be 'removed'." A woman with green hair and dark king spoke, 'Gaia' the gods presumed she was. Ares' pride got the better of him and he shouted at the primordials, "And what could that punk do to us, for gods sake," he gestured to his fellow Olympians, "we are OLYMPIANS, we could cream him before he could ask what was going on!"
"You forget, he is both our son and he will become each of our champions. He will hold power unlike anything seen before." Gaia responded, "And if you try to stop that, you will face a war with us in which you will lose." This scared the gods into submission, at least for now. Soon, after their son was prepared, he would be able to stand up for himself and he would make them proud. "Now we shall send you back, think we'll Olympians, hurt our son and you will pay dearly." The man with black eyes said as he lifted his hand and the Olympians appeared back in the throne room.

At Camp Half-Blood (Percy POV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I finally arrived at my destination, the Hermes Cabin. Many of the people in here had seen my claiming and looked at me in fear and confusion as to what I was doing here. I remembered that Luke wasn't on Half-Blood Hill so he holding know about me, probably talking to Kronos. But I wanted him to remember, he was my friend and a hero, I wanted someone like that as my friend again.

I saw him sat in the corner looking at a picture in his hand, I think I saw his mother and him when he was young and the he scowled when he saw the man stood in the background. Hermes. I looked in sadness as I saw anger grow in Luke's eyes until he seemed like a wild animal, a savage look that no person should possess lived in him and it scared him. This was what drove him to Kronos, anger and a thirst for revenge that was only fed by this feeling. I walked up to him and said "Hi, my name's Percy, some kids said your name was Luke. Can I talk to you for a minute, in private?" Look looked up and me and I saw his scowl immediately changed into a happy smile as he said "Sure." He followed me out and we walked towards the edge of camp and as far into the woods as the border allowed. I used the little amount of power that I understood from my father Chaos and prevented the gods from being able to listen in. I turned to Luke as he looked shocked when he saw a shimmering light surround us, I said 3 words that I saw shocked him to his very core. "Luke, I know." He immediately reached for his sword but I grabbed his arm and continued. "I agree with what you did, but not who you work for. My parents have tasked me with destroying the gods and given me the means to do so. I want to help you but I will not help Kronos." Luke looked at me and shock his head.
"Y...Your lying. Kronos is the only one powerful enough to destroy them."
"You are mistaken," I replied calmly, "I am the son of 14 primordials and I know Kronos more than you know. He has lied to you and will betray you, but I want you to join me." I pulled the bag of enchanted sweets from my pocket and handed one to him. "Eat that and you will understand, you will remember what happened." He looked at it sceptically and finally seemed to come to a decision. He swallowed it and relief flowed through me. He clutched his head in pain and yelled. Finally, he looked up at me and murmured in a quiet voice "Percy?!"
"Hey Luke, long time no see."

"What, why do you look 12 again?! And why am I alive?!" Luke asked, questions firing at me at super speed.
"Luke, the Gods betrayed me. Annabeth," I spat her name, "betrayed me." The look taht Luke gave me was one of disbelief and anger. "How could they do that to you, you saved their asses TWICE from what I heard in the underworld! But that still doesn't explain why you are 12 again?"
"Well after me and Thalia got together," Luke's jaw dropped, "we were both executed by Zeus although Artemis had originally wanted to douse her in the River Lethe so she would forget me," I swear Luke turned red.
"Well just before I died, I got teleported to the throne room of the primordials and was asked to be their son," I swear that even if he tried, Luke's jaw couldn't go any lower, " and they asked me to become their son to help them get rid of the Olympians. Now Luke, I know that you forgave them at the end of the last timeline but would you help me?" I asked him, honestly, I was worried he wouldn't want to but immediately he answered with no waver in his voice. "Yes, Percy, I will help you. They haven't learnt their lesson yet but they will soon."
I was very happy with his decision and told him one last thing before walking off back towards camp, "Well, before we start, I think some more people might like some of my sweets."
