Dark Percy, the Fall of Olympus

Chapter 12

The hardest part of hunting down Zeus, was getting his attention. I tried several shrines, but to no avail, so I chose the most extreme way possible, I was going to storm Olympus. I walked through the doors of the Empire State building and decapitated the receptionist, the look of shock plastered to his face for all of eternity as his body fell with an audible thump. I felt no remorse, there could be no loose ends, no warning for the king of the gods. I stepped into the elevators, and despite the situation, the hadn't changed the elevator music, so the groove of 'Stayin Alive' by the Bees gees continued to play, and so I took Riptide and drove it through the speakers, effectively silencing them. 

The elevator doors opened with a high pitched DING and I worked my way to Zeus' dwelling, leaving a trail of dismembered bodies and fire in my path, until I finally made it to his front door. The building truly was beautiful, Annabeth would have loved it, Gods, why did I think that? I walked faster, my resolve stronger than ever before. I pushed the massive doors open, a loud creaking filling the room, I paced inside and stood firm. 

Zeus:

Zeus was out flirting with some nymphs when he felt a presence within his palace and a loud booming voice filled his head. 

"ZEUS." the voice howled, beckoning him. He stiffened, he knew that voice, he had called to kill the owner of it, rage filled the god and he disappeared with a clap of thunder, quickly arriving at his palace and standing face to face with the demigod. 

"You push your boundaries," he spat, looking into the demigods devoid and gods forsaken eyes. 

"Call Hera." Zeus raised his eyebrows, his face cherry red, he didn't follow orders! He gave them! 

"Call Hera?! Who do you think yo-" he was quickly cut off when Riptide appeared between the two of them, pressed to his neck." 

"You will call her. Now." the voice was cold, even, and determined, there was no getting out of this. And so Zeus closed his eyes, calling for his wife, and she quickly appeared in a blinding pillar of light. 

Hera:

Generally, it was a rare occurrence for her husband to summon her, so when she heard his voice calling her home, she was quick to answer, and it was only a matter of seconds until she was there, and the sight that greeted her brought her some amusement. Here she saw Percy Jackson, holding a sword to her husbands throat. She was shocked, how could the man that saved Olympus from ruin, betray the king so openly? Percy looked at her with the eyes of a madman. 

She raised her hands in a placating gesture, 

"Perseus, what madness is this?" she had never seen Zeus so powerless, nor a demigod that was capable of this, I guess after thousands of years, anything was possible. Percy's mouth broke into a wolfish grin. 

"On your knees bitch," Hera recoiled at the term opening her mouth to respond, but she never got the chance. 

"I will kill him right now! Get on your knees!" She sunk to her knees, powerless to the situation, and it was like this she decided to watch the events unfold. 

Percy pressed his sword deeper into Zeus' throat, a thin line of ichor appearing. 

"Zeus,  king of Olympus, state your crimes committed against mankind and the gods!" Zeus snorted indignantly, 

"I have committed no su-" he was met with a sword hilt to the nose, Hera wailed as the ichor flowed from his nose. 

"You'll pay for that Jackson." he growled, Percy ignored him. 

"You stand accused of adultery, tyranny, and the abuse of man and demigod kind for your own personal gain." Fear flashed in Zeus' eyes as he recalled his actions over the millennia, Hera choked back a bitter sob, forgotten hatred of her husband resurfacing as she remembered his constant betrayal of her. 

"And for these crimes, you have been found guilty, and so I sentence you to die." 

"You can't!" Hera shrieked, hysterical, but it was too late, Percy lowered his blade and stabbed through Zeus, he went rigid as a pain that he had long forgotten took over his limbs, tearing through his flesh. Hera screamed and jumped to her feet, sprinting to Zeus as Percy removed the sword from his body. She cradled him in her arms, sobbing, he took a rattling breath and looked at Percy Jackson. 

"Vengeance is a dangerous mission, be careful to not lose yourself." and with that, his body disappeared, and so Hera wept for the loss of her husband, so engulfed in her grief that she didn't see the demigod standing behind her, sword poised to strike her down, and strike her down he did, stabbing her from behind. She gasped, the intense flame of pain engulfing her and causing her to collapse. Percy flipped her over and looked down at her distastefully. 

"It's no less than what you monsters deserve." and Hera's vision darkened, until eventually she was floating in nothing, no longer capable of influence on this world.
