Percy Jackson Tartarus' Ruler.

Chapter 3

Artemis' eyes looked ready to fall out of her head. The rest of the council not far behind. Zoe pulled back and wraps her arm around Nyx's waist. Percy whatching amused all the gods reactions.

"I actually forgot to ask Kelly I'll go do that. Also... nice to see you mother. Long time since I've seen you around the house." With that she runs of again into a shadow. Everyone sat back down. Percy looked around the throne room. " Well I think it's time to go home for tonight. I need to show Athena and Artemis around the house still."

Chaos stared at Percy, " Are you going to show them your house?" He cocked his head, " Why would I do that?" She rolled her eyes, "Just at least show them that you really are the ruler of Tartarus." The rest of the gods in the room were whatching the conversation like a tennis match, wide eyed by how easy the two powerful beings were with each other. Percy stood up, " Fine."

He snapped his fingers and suddenly space around them seemed to warp and change. All of it stopped and they were now on a cliff overlooking the heart of Tartarus. The red clouds covering the rocky ceiling. Percy stepped forward and suddenly let out a screeching roar that didn't sound all too much like a human and even worse than a monster. The gods seemed to realise that they were the ones that created this.

Slowly the whole cavern started filling with roars from all kinds of monsters and those you could see were bowing low. Poseidon stepped forward and tried to put his hand on Percy's shoulder, he started to say," Son I'm more prou-" suddenly he crashed to the ground holding his hand shaking from the pain.

The voice that went past Percy's lips sounded like a demon crossed with knives being dragged on rough stone. " You are no longer my father Poseidon. Do not presume to think I need your approval, like the naïve little boy you sent down here. Tartarus himself made sure to get rid of that."

The rest of the council took a step back while Hera spoke, "Percy. Why do you treat all of us like we're guilty of banishing you?" He gave her a cold stare, " Oh but you are. All of you know how Zeus operates and should have known beforehand that he was going to pull the ' my word is law ' card. Along with how much effort you put into try and stopping it. You just decided to look away and feel bad for a few years."

Zeus clenched his jaw " You upstart brat! You deserved wha-" he went rigid like n marble statue. Percy's face was emotionless while he walked to the king of the gods. The rest of the council members looked at Zoe and Chaos to see what to do,but what they found did not put their mind at ease.

It seemed like both the woman were scared out of their wits and tried to keep out of Percy's direct line of sight. He finally stopped in front of Zeus and a amusing smile stretched across his face. " I have had thousands of years of practice and experience in torture you moronic being. I could take you apart piece by piece, atom by atom without lifting a hand. You have no idea what pain I could bring you. Maybe you should ask your father. After all, he is my oldest prisoner. Can you imagine Kronos, begging and pleading  for mercy, for a quick death? His screaming has turned into music for me you know." Zeus tried to say something but all he could manage was making spit roll over his lips and down his chin. Percy smiled more, " Want to say something? Well let's hear it."

Zeus took a deep breath finally able to and looked at Percy, " Everything that happened is your own fault and you deserved it......even your mother blamed you for not being there for her when she was raped and killed...... me and Ares had the time of our lives, her screaming was music to our ears." Zeus smirked at Percy when his speech was done.

Percy took a step back as if he was struck. The smile from previously long gone and after a moment a Cashire cat smile split his face, while at the same time showing his rage. His eyes turned pure black and started to swirl with a purple so deep you could almost not see the difference. A black smoke started to rise from the ground. Percy's feet started changing from his designer shoes to a type of claws. Three extremely sharp nails at the front and one short at the back. His hands also started changing into talons - the fingers elongated into a curved blade like steel, as black as Stygian.

Zoe and Chaos looked at this wide eyed and fear filled, for they new what this transformation meant. Zoe looked at Zeus now able to move," You fucking idiot! You have no idea what you have just unleashed upon us!" Chaos turned to Zoe, " Take them to the house just don't let them in, keep them outside if need be let Nyx help you keep them in line. Go! Now!"

She turned to Percy seeing him crouched and ready to pounce and did the only thing she could think of - tackled him to the ground. She now sat on his chest and used all her strength to keep his arms down unable to do anything.

" Listen to me Percy. You can't go after them now. Olympus needs their king, as idiotic as he is, in this time of war. It would not do well to kill him. Please Coral-Brain, calm down for me." He locked eyes with her and talked in again I'm that demonic voice, " Why should I ever do something for you again?" tears started to fill his black eyes, " After what you did why would I ever even tolerate your presence?" Tears started to fall down Chaos' face as well and eventually started sobbing, chocking out the words.

" I have t-tried for thousands and thousands of years, t-to gather the courage of apologizing for w-what I did. After seeing.....I p-panicked and made a rash decision that I....I regret to this day. I'm sorry.....I'm so so so ssssorry." Chaos had long since stopped holding his hands down and was just now sobbing in his chest. Percy sat up - now normal again - making her slide down onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him and started sobbing also. " I...I...I missed you star-eyes......... I .....f-f-f-f-forg-give you..." Chaos just cried harder and they held each other. Sitting on the red ground, with dark red clouds above them and poisonous air around them, not that it mattered to them.

Zoe flashed the council to an open field a few hundred yards away from the entrance to a mansion that would put any and all buildings on Olympus to shame. The council stared at it in shock. Artemis was the first to come out of shock, " This is where me and Athena will be staying from now on?" Zoe shook her head, " I'll let Percy explain." Athena looked at Zoe questioningly, " Speaking of'. What just happened back there?" Zoe sighed.

" Percy almost changed into his true form-" she was interrupted by the moron himself, " True form? We are gods we can handle a being's true form." Zoe looked outraged, " Just shut up! You are the one that created this mess in the first place. If I wasn't so worried about Percy right now I would have been ripping out you throat and gutting you like the pig you are. Now as I was saying, none of you would have been able to look upon Percy's true form. The only person to safely gaze at it is Chaos and even then it's only for a few minutes. His true form is so horrible and nightmarish that it drives anyone insane. To give you perspective, Dionysus can make a man insane on a scale from one to ten, with ten being the limit." Seeing as it involves him he looks at her curiously, " And where will Percy's true form put you on the scale?"

She looked him straight in the eyes," More than a million." Everyone paled at that, Zeus even more so now realizing what his actions might have caused. Dionysus looked intrigued, " Is there someone I can talk to to see the effects of this?"

Zoe shook her head, " Only once has Percy fully changed into his true form. There isn't anyone left alive that gazed upon it after the blood stopped flowing, all except one." Athena was now interested as well," Who?" Zoe waited, deciding if she should answer, " Percy......"

Shock displayed across their faces, Artemis the most, " Yes he seemed a bit insane but not that much." Zoe once again shook her head, " After there was no one left to kill, he saw his reflection in the blood......and he stared at it for three days. The reason why he doesn't seem that insane is because he's só insane that he's sane. In short his insanely sane."

Athena pondered about this, " But if he looked at himself in the blood for three days that means.....how much blood was there to be able to flow for three days straight?" She shrugged, " I wasn't here yet, but I heard that it kept on flowing for another four after that. Maybe Zeus and Ares should stay out of his way for a while....maybe forever."

Everyone nodded, " And the beautiful mansion? Who built it?" Zoe smiled," Percy did. With his bare hands. It may have taken him ten years, but as you can see it turned out magnificent." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Percy and Chaos cried for hours on end. When the tears finally stopped flowing they fell asleep wrapped in each others embrace.
