Percy Jackson and the Return of an Ancient Enemy

Sweet, Sweet Tartarus

Jason's POV

"What should we do now?" I asked.

"There's only one thing to do. Follow the prophecy," Apollo said.

"To find the weapon of the youngest, who proves himself to be the strongest," Poseidon said.

"The youngest.... The youngest..." Zeus said, "Of course! Kronos! He's the youngest and yet he proved himself by cutting up Ouranos!"

"Well where do we find his weapon? The scythe?" Nico asked.

"First, ask the council of Iapetus, the Titan in Tartarus who Perseus Jackson managed to tame. Then follow his lead pricisely to the location," Zeus replied.

With a snap of his fingers, thunder rolled and he teleported me, Percy and Nico to the edge of the pit of Tartarus in the Underworld.

"Aaaaahhhh!" Percy and Nico yelled crearly traumatized by their experience from the Pit.

"We have no choice guys, if we want to stop this guy from destroying the world, we gotta have the scythe," I said

"At the count of 3. 1... 2....." Percy said.

"Three!" We yelled as we jumped together to the endless dark abyss of Tartarus.

After what seems like hours, we finally reached the bottom harmlessly for Nico shadow traveled us to the ground.

Percy's face paled as he remembered his memories from Tartarus.

"We don't need to be here very long, just go to Bob and talk to him right?" Percy asked.

"What? Did you think we enjoy being in this dump?" Nico asked.

"Whatever. Last I saw Bob he was fighting with Damasen in the Doors of Death," Percy said.

"Let's hope they didn't die," I said.

"We'll find out," Nico said as he shadow traveled the both of us. When we appeared, we were standing in what I remember as Damasen's little hut.

Grooooooowwww!

"What was that?!" I and Nico yelled.

"A drakon that always attacks Damasen," I replied, "Nothing much"

I opened the door and sure enough, the drakon leaped at Percy. But he was faster and uncapped Riptide right at the bottom of its stomach.

I stared at the 'thing'. I took my sword and cut its claw. It was a souvenir for Piper if I ever get back alive.

"Let's move on. No one's here," Percy said.

Just then, two large figures were spotted fighting. They were the figures of Bob and Damasen, fighting an army of monsters.

Bob was using his spear with 'Not So Small' Bob fighting beside him. Damasen was using his sword, fighting for his life.

Without one word we unsheathed/uncapped our swords and charged to help them out.

I flew up and attacked evil gryphons while Nico took souls from the monsters. Percy was beside Damasen catching up while slaying Cyclopes together. We stabbed, blocked, side stepped, parried, and slashed over and over again until the entire army was nothing but heaps of golden dust.

We all caught our breath and Damasen brought us to his 'hut'.

"You came back little hero, what makes you want to visit this dump again?" Asked Damasen.

"I wouldn't help it if the fate of the world isnt at risk," Percy replied.

"The Supreme Prophecy huh?" Bob asked.

"Yep, and I'm Jason Grace friends of these two" I said introducing myself.

"We need directions to find Kronos' scythe." Percy said.

"It's buried deep inside Mount Tam. It's huge and I don't even know the exact location. But its buried deep inside the heart of the mountain somewhere," said Bob,"To find it, one must solve a riddle encrypted on  one of the pillars of the palace. Its written in Ancient Greek and is foretold only the ones destined to be the greatest can open it. Though once you open it, you shall receive a new ability, according to your godly parent," Bob explained.

"Thanks Bob, but who are we up against?" Nico asked.

"You have to figure that one out by yourselves." Said Bob.

With that Damasen brought us a meal and we all ate peacefully until Nico shadow traveled us back to the upside world.
