Light Birthed Through Pain

My Power, My Light, My Hope... And My Friends.

*Zack POV* (More and more surprises, eh?)

Hmm, everyone said Percy died, and there are some people, and for some reason, a couple of hunters cried, but then shot an arrow up my butt after seeing me stare and smirk at them. They think that they're so awesome, well? Nope. Girls are worse than boys, right (I am not sexist in real life, so don't destroy me plz)? Honestly, I could beat up those girls in a split second. Now that that dumb Percy is out of here, I'm the crowned prince. Everyone treats me like a king. And I? I treat them like my subjects, unlike that Percy. Percy always treats everyone the same, even though he is the leader at camp. I treat them how they are supposed to be treated. I treat them as lesser beings. Anyway, everyone worships me, and knows of my superiority, and I ordered my 'guards' to beat up the ones that didn't. Sadly, little Annabeth left me, and I don't know where she is, because I want to give her a scar that won't wipe off *slurp*. Anyway, Zeus granted me partial immortality because I was really awesome, and that I was in his image, how a human is supposed to be. So now for as long as I live, I shall be the leader of camp. I have people give things to me, you know, the usual master servant relationship. They now know of my power, and will not do anything against me! HAHAHAHA!

*Percy POV*

Thalia, Nico and I have been wandering, trying to find an opening, until we noticed that we were being watched. No, not that sensation when you know someone is right behind you, staring at you, but more, uh, literally feeling the stare on you. Yep, you guessed it, it was Medusa. We only had one chance against her, which was Thalia's shield, but there was no way we could get rid of her unnoticed, or before she tells everyone to impale us and that other fun stuff. Yea. Fun stuff. Welp, as we sprinted without making a sound... ok, we make a little sound, alright? Jeez. We ran for our life for our best chance of survival. Straight at the Doors of Death. No seriously, we were surrounded, as the monsters flooded in not long after Medusa made a very, very, not pleasant sounding call. And so our only chance is to get out of here. The problem is, there's no one on the other side... Ugh, what am I supposed to do! It's not like we can flash or anything here in Tartarus... Just then, Medusa confronted us. We all looked at her ugly hair, but not at her face. Much less her eyes. Then she said, "You're ssssurrounded. You can't runnnn!" Then I be like, "No Styx, Sherlock." Like seriously. Why do you say that when it's pretty damn obvious? If we can't run... Then we fight. FOR SPARTAAA!!!! Yea right. Anyway, since I'm not that barbaric, if us 3, all children of the big 3, combine our power, the way the original big 3 did in the final fight against Kronos in the first titan war (I made this up, just go along with the story), then we may be able to reach out to Hades! I MMed Thalia and Nico, they jumped at first, but not enough for any monster to notice, and calmed down after I explained how I got this mind messaging power. I told them that they should focus all their energy into me, as I would be the strongest vessel for all the power, and we would send it all straight to where we sensed the direction Hades was. It was a close shot, but we had to do it.

It took a minute of staring at every monster there, silently telling them their place (Except Medusa, you think that we're dumb?). After that, they saw Nico and Thalia fall the the ground, which they took the opportunity to attack. Me being the Percy I am, fought them with spit. Literally. I spat at them, which they took as an invitation to spit back. Right before it hit me (Some of it was poisonous), I controlled it as my water abilities allowed. LOL. You should've saw they face when I turned it into a nuke. I covered me, Nico, and Thalia with a bubble so we wouldn't get hit by that filth. Who knows what they eat? Hm, let me guess, HUMAN FLESH. Bleh. Hmm... This is a really crap situation. But, I had used more energy than both Nico and Thalia combined, as I was channeling all their power through my body. Woah, never imagined they would have so much power, even for children of the big three! It was either that, or I had gotten shabby. Or shaken by... Memories. Damnit, Tartarus. You just had to get me in here, and now you're messing with me. A single tear flowed down my cheek, though no one noticed, as it was shining as much as everything around it. Fire, lava, it that stuff liquified fire or something? But that tear, the moment it hit the ground. The entire ground shook (Wait, is there only one ground in Tartarus? I mean, it's literally his body...), and then, we saw the Doors of Death shake. I then knew, out of the confusion, that this was our only chance. But at that moment, I just realized how my adrenaline wore off, and how much energy I used, even for that incomplete message!

Hades POV

I was just sitting on my throne, waiting until something happened. To be honest, I never thought a situation like this would ever occur. As calm, cool, and collected as I look, I was really panicking inside. Thousands of thoughts were running through my head, and I couldn't organize them! How could a hero like this be abandoned, then want to die, then after that get sent to the Hunters of Artemis, and which afterward was sent to Tartarus by what seemed like several Primordials! This was all crazy! I just wanted to wait until this all blew over, but for some reason I just couldn't let it go. Those Primordial scum! Their hideout is probably in the Pit or something equally as sad, yet not accessible.

It really was all a pretty mind blowing revelation, even for a god! But at the same time I felt really pissed, not just scared or sad. Me and my children can't NOT hold grudges, as it's a lot of our fatal flaws. If we get over it... We could become nearly invincible. Anyway, I just felt a HUGE burst of energy, or what was left of it, seemingly coming far away in a place that no one would dare to go... I felt the message. I was shocked. It was Percy's voice. The voice said, "Hades, and whoever else can help us now, please, we need it, gather to the other end of the Doors of Death in Greece! This is Percy, and we are about to become-" And then it went out. Like static. I then shocked with the, "What if the enemy was listening, as they are about to die or something?" Then it hit me. Percy's mind messaging skill. But still, wouldn't he not be strong enough to send that message... From Tartarus by himself, even though he is extremely powerful? Then it hit me again. Since he said us... I remember, Zeus's daughter, uh her name... Oh yes, Thalia! As well as my dear son Nico. I can't really do stuff with people, and Nico understands that better than a lot of others, as he inherits it. I guess that makes us socially awkward. Eh. Nico and the others, they must've used all their energy to channel it through Perseus! They are probably outside the Doors of Death, and will probably use their remaining energy to get their, but if they don't get assistance... It doesn't matter, because the only thing we can do right now is gather a bunch of demigods to go to Greece. The problem is... Time runs so much faster in Tartarus... Damn... We could flash them... But would that restrict the Ancient Laws? So many questions that no one could answer, with only a limited time to do something about it. What am I supposed to do! I can't believe it. This hero, forever trapped, now dark into the depths of somewhere that no one would even dare to think about going to, as it would chill them to the bones. That visit I took the save the Elder Cyclops... I still have that image, fresh as day (That says something considering I'm more of a night being), in my head. I felt a power being emitted from the direction where the message came from. Then, a sudden plan jumped into my head, no matter how low a chance, it was a plan...

*Percy POV*

This was going to be a long day. Or night. Whatever it was, but I really didn't care. I just wanted to go out of this place, to save my friends who were with me. I remembered back to when that giant monster ambush happened, and how we thought we had beat them. Then the thoughts about the Primordials, and how the Hades Annabeth got such a strong aura, that probably if she was close enough, even a mere mortal could feel it. I had to stay prepared, and very cautious if I was going to live through this one. I probably wouldn't. Eh.

I concentrated on the rest of my power to send us flying to the Doors of Death at like a bajillion miles an hour. I was using the water from the the River Phlegethon. I was also trying to concentrate on a shield, both resisting fire and water to protect me, Nico, and Thalia. This... This... I didn't know what I was doing, nor did I know how I was doing it. I just felt a rush of adrenaline, but didn't think too much of it, because there was only one thing on my mind. In that moment, or for that series of moments, it was to... Protect what you care for. I was set on doing that, and intended to do it successfully. This sudden burst of energy. This was the power of everything I cared about. I wasn't just about to lose what little was left of it. I let out a battle cry and let out a burst of energy, destroying tens upon thousands of monsters, and giving an energy boost to my friends, seemingly, until the world suddenly turned black... 

I know. Save it. XD. I'll update more, trust me. Also, next week on Friday is my birthday! YEEEAAA!! Anyway, I'll try to update a special on that day. But with this quick note, see ya and away from the torture I go!!!!!!!!!!!
