After the Second Giant War a new threat arises and Percy is chosen by Chaos to fight it, with his new powers he also needs to find balance and the only way to balance chaos power is love, and a lot of it. Will he be able to defeat the enemy, or will...
As soon as Percy, Artemis and Zoe jumped in the entrance to Tartarus, I immediately ordered the hunters to free the demigods. We managed to break the bonds with some help from my newly acquired weapon. Percy's ex chaos platinum shapeshifting sticks.
As soon as we freed the last one the entrance immediately crumbled, leaving nothing but rubble. I then followed Percy's orders and grouped all the demigods and hunters together, I focused on my new powers and teleported us, thanks to the knowledge Percy transferred.
We got to Camp Halfblood just in time to witness something unexpected. Artemis and Zoe were already there! And not in good shape either...
Zoe had several cuts and bruises as did Artemis, but she also seemed to have several broken ribs.
I immediately ordered the hunters to bring the demigods to the infirmary so the Apollo kids could heal them. As they followed my orders I ran towards the two injured Primordials.
"Zoe, Arty... What happened, where's Percy?" I asked.
"I.. I.. we entered Tartarus, but he was expecting us and had an army waiting for us. We easily dispatched them but then Tartarus himself came. We started attacking him but then he pinned Zoe to a rock. I tried to free her, but then Percy activated 'Room' and we found ourselves here!" Artemis spat out.
"Is she okay? Wait, how did all that happen so fast, it's been hardly two minutes since we left you!" I pointed out.
"Zoe, you're coughing blood! Quickly we need to take her to the infirmary!" I shouted.
And that's when the most bone chilling scream rang through the ears of everyone.
"Percy..." Zoe managed to cough out before blacking out.
3rd person POV:
In the deepest dungeon in all of Tartarus despicable, unimaginable and terrifying acts had been taking place.

Tartarus had surprisingly decided to take a break from the torture onslaught he was submitting our Champion to: even he was starting to get tired.
As Percy hung onto the tartarus steel chains, he tried to shout but he couldn't as his voice had left him long ago.
But Percy was still holding on, even without his tendons or nails, even without his voice, he was still clinging onto the chains hoping to see the light again.
Zoe POV:
I woke up in the infirmary. After letting my eyes adjust to the light I tried to stand up, I managed to limp out of the infirmary and what I saw was incredible.
It looked like the entire camp was about to go to war!
As soon as I got a glimpse of what was happening I heard someone shouting at me.
"ZOE! What are you doing up, you need to rest and get back into shape for the extraction mission!" the familiar voice of the Primordial daughter of Athena said.
"Annabeth... What happened, and why do you look so tired?"
"Do you remember anything?" she asked.
"Yes, we were fighting Tartarus, then Percy transported us here and... Oh Gods!" I paused. "And then the scream... Is Percy Okay?!"
"We think he got beaten by Tartarus, that's why I'm tired, I've been working restlessly to come up with a way to rescue him." she answered.
"Where are the others, what about the demigods that were trapped at the entrance of Tartarus?"
"The demigods are fine, they are currently recovering. As for Artemis, Thalia, Bianca and the rest of the hunters, they're in Percy's cabin."
"I'm well enough to walk, I want to go to them." I demanded
"Are you sure?" Annabeth asked, looking a bit uncertain.
"Yes, my super healing is working, in a bit I should be back to normal."
3rd person POV:
Zoe and Annabeth reached Percy's cabin and went in.
As soon as Zoe stepped foot inside the building the hunters buried her with questions about her wellbeing.
After answering all of the hunters questions she went up to Artemis, Thalia and Bianca.
"Hey, Bianca how is your stay in Camp Half blood going?" she asked
"Well it was going well, apart from the boys. But then you came and all hell broke loose!" she pointed out.
"Well since Zoe i healthy now we should continue to work on a plan to bring Percy back!" Artemis looked really tense and looked as tired as Annabeth.
"Are you okay Artemis?" Zoe asked.
"N.. Yeah, Yeah we just need to find Percy?"
"Looks like somebody is missing Percy a bit to much..." Thalia said with a smirk.
"What.. n.. No, it's just that we.. we need him to fight the oncoming threat!"
"Thalia, stop we are all worried about Percy, and that includes you!" Bianca scolded her.
Meanwhile Annabeth who had been pondering on something the entire time, suddenly shouted "I got it!" making everyone in the room jump.
"What have you got?" Thalia asked.
"I got it, I know how to rescue Percy!"
And that got everyone's attention.
Percy POV:
Tartarus had been gone for way too long, what was happening?
Ever since he had left I was working on the chains that were holding me, I was slowly managing to take them off the wall. You cold start to see the cracks where the chains connected to the massive structure that was Tartarus' Palace.
I was slowly starting to heal again, even though I knew that wouldn't last long, Tartarus would just interrupt the healing process by torturing me.
As I pulled on the chains with the little strength left in my arms, with by the way were the only part of my body that i could control at this moment in time, I couldn't help but think of Artemis and Zoe: were they okay, did 'Room' work?
What about the hunters did the mission succeed?
I was brought out of my thoughts by the familiar heavy steps of Tartarus, I rememberd to stop pulling on the chains just in time.
