See ya in Tartarus!

Percy's POV:

"Ha!" Gaia yelled. "I am in control of every major immortal on Earth! I am invincible! No one can stop me!"

"Are you quite sure about that?" I asked in a quiet voice, stepping from the shadows. In the distance I heard cries of happiness as I 'came back from the dead' but it all faded to white noise as I focused on my one target. Gaia.

She had caused me the most pain I will ever know. She had brutally torn me away from a peaceful life after I had won a war to save the world, thrusting me into another just for me to kill her. And now she was back, and had hurt my family so badly that she was going to pay.

I could feel myself start to shake in anger as she roared with (fake) laughter, hiding her fear. My vision turned even darker than before and I heard thunder in the distance. The ground shook with a thousand times more power than the biggest earthquake that Poseidon had ever made, and Gaia's expression turned from one of happiness and greed to one of fear. Chaos had warned me about this, but I feared it was too late to stop myself. But did I want to stop?

~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback to Chaos' Office~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bowed before my Lord Chaos, respectful and trusting. He had apparently called me here to do the final task that would allow me to become Commander of his army and heir to the Universe. But first I had to prove myself.

"Omega, you have trained hard and I am very pleased. However, before you become Commander you must prove yourself. Slay the mighty Téras ton Teráton (Monster of Monsters) or die trying. Farewell my friend, let us hope you succeed."

He extended his arm towards me and I felt a rush of nausea overcome me, followed by dizziness, and then a sense of jet lag as I landed on, wait a sec...was that...silver! Yes, I had landed on silver grass, in a silver forest filled with silver trees. Wow. I can feel a major headache coming on later.

I was snapped back to reality as I heard a huge roar echo around the glade. Unsheathing my hunting knives (also silver, man, I was really beginning to hate the colour) and crept forward with the stealth only an professional assassin of Chaos could have. But, for the first time ever (since i had joined Chaos' army) as I laid eyes on the monster, I felt...fear!

The creature was silver too, and I made a mental note to sue the colour silver when I got back to Chaos' realm. But, Artemis would hate me then...hmmm...she'll get over it. But what if- DAM YOU ADHD!!!!! I silently cursed my stupidity at getting distracted. So far, my chances of being Commander were at nil. Shaking off my stupor I leapt at the beast with the speed and grace of a tiger, deadly and silent.

Taken by surprise, the thing attempted to shake me off its back, but I held on grimly. I would have liked to say I looked like a total boss hanging on, but in reality i was probably flying everywhere like a leaf holding onto the tree with the tiniest of stalks, while being blown about in a hurricane. Eventually I overpowered the monster and it fell to the ground, still alive, but with no strength left. I raised my knife, ready to bring it down in a deadly arc, which would immediately kill it, but I hesitated. I had been given a second chance at life, so why not this?

I hopped off the creature and apologised for my rudeness.

Not to worry milord. It answered. To say I was shocked would be the understatement of a century. But I automatically replied. "Don't call me lord. Per-Omega is just fine thanks."

Very well per-omega. In return for sparing my life, I offer myself to you, as there will never be another being as forgiving as you.

A strange mist surrounded us both and when I could see again she (I had decided the monster was a girl...she just sounded like one) was gone. It turned out that she lived inside me, along with the spirits of every other monster to ever exist, and I had complete control over them.

However, Chaos warned me that if I ever let my emotions take control, the spirits would too and I would not be able to stop killing until every enemy had been obliterated. I was a killing machine, so I kept it a secret from everyone, well...except for Chaos. He told me that my act of kindness towards Nychta (the monster of monsters) was so great i had earned my position of Commander, and I never let my emotions rule me again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~End flashback~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt my demons inside finally take over as I fell to the ground, a scream echoing from my mouth, the raw pain turning to power and blasting every monster, every enemy and everybody away. The cry snapped the chains holding my friends and they scrambled to take cover. Another golden flash illuminated the world and Chaos appeared, creating a barrier around everyone keeping them safe. He gave me one final nod and I took a deep breath...and gave myself to my demons.
