Tyrant King - A Percy Jackson FanFic

Chapter 7

Four years later...

"Come on Percy," Kelli taunted, "You're not giving up that easily are you?"
Percy huffed a laugh, "Me? Never!"
He lunged again, slashing Theos Dolofonos at Kelli's firey head. Gaea had gifted him the sword just last week. The words meant God Killer, and it was almost as easy to use as Riptide had been. It soared throught the air, and Kelli ducked, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"You'll come back!" Percy protested. The empousa stuck her tongue out at him before kicking out with her donkey leg. Percy dodged, slashing his sword at her leg. She jumped backwards. 
"Percy! Kelli!" Someone called from the door. They turned to see Tammi and Leah standing at the arena door. Tammi was an empousa that Percy had killed in the Goode school band room during the conflict with Kronos. She had since forgiven him. Leah was the demigod daughter of Hecate who had recieved shapeshifting powers from Gaea. 
"Hey guys," Kelli smiled, "I was just about to beat Percy."
"You were not!" he protested. Tammi laughed, "Gaea's asking for you Perc, she's got something to tell you."
"I bet its your immortality," Leah said bitterly, "She never offered me immortality."
Leah was a few years younger than Percy, being only nineteen when Percy was twenty-two. Percy laughed, "You can shapeshift! If you really want immortality you can shift to look like me and go to her instead."
"Nah she'd know."
Kelli was looking at Percy funny. He frowned, "What?"
"You're still too nice," she said. Percy rolled his eyes, "I can chop off your head if you want? That would show you that I'm mean."
"You can be mean and nice at the same time!"
"Whatever," Leah interrupted, "Just go get immortal!"
Percy grinned and flipped Theos Dolofonos. It turned into a much smaller pendant version of itself, and he slipped it onto the leather cord around his neck. He had never really been sentimental before, but he'd kept all the beads on his camp necklace. Nobody knew, of course. They were hidden in his underwear draw, which Gaea would never go through. She had a big thing against underwear. 
Theos Dolofonos was a long sword made of obsidian. It was the perfect weight, the perfect size. It was as though it was made for Percy. Apparently it had been Kronos' sword before the scythe. Percy made his way through the house until he came to Gaea's personal chambers. He knocked thrice before entering. His eyes were immediately drawn to the two weapons in glass cases above Gaea's desk; Kronos' scythe and Poseidon's trident. The earth goddess was sitting on a chair by a small fireplace. She stood when Percy entered, "Ah Percy! Welcome. Please sit."
He sat down in a seat next to a large desk made entirely out of dirt. Gaea reached into her desk drawer and pulled out a long key. 
"Hands please." 
He raised his hands in anticipation. Finally, the golden cuffs that had been on his wrists since he'd last seen the world were being taken off. Gaea had taken off the ones around his ankles almost immediately, saying that they would restrict his movement. In the past four years, Percy had learnt to work around the cuffs, using his power even though they were nullifying it. Sure, his power had increased exponentially, but it had always been so much more effort to control it. He had learnt how to control poison, the underworld rivers and even blood. He had swarmed the house in tidal waves of Cocytus water, he had flooded Akhlys garden of poisonous plants. He had frozen the blood in a monsters veins and watched as he slowly died from loss of circulation. All whilst having the nullifying chains around his wrists. Gaea inserted the key into the lock of the first one, and unlocked. percy felt a surge of power roil up inside him. He barked out a small, incredulous laugh as Gaea unlocked the second one, and he felt the same feeling again. 
"Now," Gaea said, "Before I make you immortal I must first explain to you my plan."
"Okay," Percy said, "Who are we going to kill?"
His past self would be very ashamed of him. In the past four years, he'd become a monster, someone the gods would destroy. He had the scars on his brow to prove it.
Gaea smiled, "You are going to kill Zeus."
Percy froze, "What?"
"My plan is to destroy the gods. Once the gods are destroyed, I can awaken, and take over the world. You're going to cut Zeus into tiny pieces, like Kronos did to Ouranous, and like Zeus did to Kronos. Then the gods will see you as superior, and you can bend the other gods to your will. You can do whatever you want with them. Then you will reawaken me."
Percy thought about it for a second. Bending the gods to his will, destroying Zeus. He could already think of all the things he was going to do to his father.
"Okay," he said, "I'll do it."
It showed how much he had changed that he bent to her will so quickly. She grinned, "Kneel before me."
He did as she asked, kneeling down and bowing his head. She placed a hand on his head, and he gasped as power and life flooded into him. He watched his arms incredulously as they glowed golden. 
"There, done," Gaea said, "You are now immortal."
Percy grinned, "Thanks."
She dismissed him. Once he'd left the room, he pulled out a pin and stabbed it into his palm. To his delight, his blood ran golden. Once he pulled out the pin, the little hole healed. He grinned. He was immortal, and he would destroy Zeus. He would ruin the gods, and become their leader. It was time to start intergrating his plan.
