It was as night was falling, and after another day of torture, that our saviours finally came. I mean, it took them a while. Why did it take then that long to come and save the King of the Gods? That's just sad.
What did mortals get up to these days?
So, they came into the basement, suddenly appearing in the doorway.
"Will? Are you sure that this was a good idea? If we get caught..."
"Annabeth we're not going to get caught! We have the plan, the backup plan, and the backup plan for the backup plan. I'm sure that we're not getting caught . Not today, at least."
A boy that looked like Apollo ran up to my cell, his footsteps echoing throughout the basement.
"Zeus? Is that you?"
"It's actually Lord Zeus, boy. Get it right." I told him.
He gave a sigh.
"C'mon Zeus. Let's get you outta here."
"Wait!" Artemis yelled, just as the boy, Will I presume, opened the cell door.
Alarms rang off through the camp. The noise was almost as obnoxious as Apollo's haikus! Like, seriously. That spawn of Poseidon was so annoying.
It wasn't long before we heard footsteps, and someone stood in the hallway. None other than the leader himself, Perseus Jackson.
"Well, look who we have here. Will, my spy, come here. Annabeth, the cheater, and none other than Drama Queen himself. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Will walked over to stand by Percy's side.
"Traitor," I yelled.
He avoided meeting my eyes.
"You have no idea what Lord Percy has at his disposal. To fight against him would be... Unwise."
"Your as bad as your father, Spawn of Apollo. I swear, you will burn in Tartarus for this."
Percy let out a laugh.
"You do realise, I've been a lot more busy than you might think. Tartarus and Gaia? They're awake. And they want revenge, Zeus. Guess who against?"
"Me." I said.
"That's right!"
"Tartarus, Gaia. Who else?"
"Like I'm going to tell you. I'll give you a hint. They're your children, and there's three of them. They're very powerful."
Only one set of triplets could be this powerful.
"The fates. You have the fates on your side? How the actual Hades!"
"Everyone wants something, Zeus. Everyone. Even the fates. Even you. What the fates wanted was so simple to give them. Freedom. One of the many things that the so called g'night gods of Olympus' refused to give them. So I took advantage of their... situation. Now I'm going to win this war."
"I have plenty of minor gods under my army as well. One of them? Nike. She'll grant me victory. All she wants is respect. So I'm going to build her a shrine." I
"Morpheus is also in my army. The gods of sleep. Sweet dreams, Zeus."
Everything faded into black.

Lol! You thought I was going to end it there didn't you. Nope. I'm making this chapter longer, because I've missed out a few updates! 500 words checkpoint right here!

(Percy's POV)
When Zeus started waking up, he was in my office, bound by the ropes, and tied to a chair, with the legs embedded deep in the ground, in a cell that I'd had installed. He started struggling immediately.
I snapped my fingers.
The movement was enough to make him look up in surprise, and stop struggling, which gave me enough time to press the button on my desk.
An Imperial Gold sword came out one of the walls, and pressed against his chin, forcing his head to lift up.
"Zeus. It's about time that you woke up. You've been sleeping for almost a day now. I've been waiting for you to wake."
"And in that almost day, how many new recruits have you got?"
"A fair few. But your joining me next. Or the punishment I have you will be carried out. Holding up the sky, remember?"
He paled at the reminder of his punishment, but then regained his composure.
"I'd rather take my punishment than surrender to you freely."
"Well then. You really do make the bad decisions, don't you."
I moved my fingers a few times, and Zeus started screaming.

This is the end of the chapter.
How was it?
Remember to vote and comment! I will respond to as many comments as possible!
(BTW, Will is only a traitor to Zeus because Blessed_by_Hypnos asked).
So anyway, this chapter was 749 words long.
That's it for now, goodbye!
