Percy POV

"Annabeth, please talk to me."

"Gods, Seaweed Brain, sometimes you are one of the most annoying person I've ever met"

"Thanks, I try and I app-" The conch horn sounded 3 times, signaling a monster attack, and ending our conversation.

"What? A monster attack? We just finished th-"

"Percy," Annabeth interrupted," just remember that everything I do is because I love you." With that, she rushed off to fight the monsters.

"Sounds like something from a song," I muttered before pulling out Riptide and running towards Half-Blood Hill.

When I reached Thalia's Tree, I saw that there was only 100 or so monsters. Breathing a sigh of relief, I charged at the small army. I stabbed a empousa in the chest, cut off the head of a hellhound, and slashed a drancae through the stomach, turning all of them into shimmery, gold, dust. Out of nowhere, I heard a scream of pain. It kind of sounded like... Annabeth! I spun around, just in time to see a spear sticking through her stomach and for a monster to put a dagger into my back. I didn't feel any physical pain, because my heart was still breaking from seeing Annabeth die. I sunk to my knees and let blackness surround me.

----Flash to Underworld----

"Perseus Jackson, you are hereby being sentenced to the Fields of Punishment," A cold voice in a gold mask said.

"Wait! What? I thought there was supposed to be a fair trial!" I yelled, "What did I do wrong?!?"

"Yes, but it seems that Zeus decreed for you to be sent to the Fields of Punishment. The other Olympians voted on the plan. They all voted in favor of Zeus' idea. All but two," Judge #2 said, consulting a iPad. Does everyone in the Underworld have one of those?!?

"My dad?" I asked hopefully.

"No-" my heart sank,"Your father was 'conveniently held up'," Judge #1 said disgustingly," It was Hestia and Hades who voted in your favor."

My head snapped up,"What? You're kidding right? Hades?"

"Yeah, I was surprised too, kid," Judge #3 muttered.

"Unfortunately, the votes if two gods doesn't sway the council, no matter how powerful they are. Anyway, your eternal punishment will be..."

I zoned out while Judge #1 was saying something about 70's music and no blue food when a man with jet black hair appeared in a shower of stars. You couldn't see any of this features but his eyes, which were a swirl of colors and emotions. He was wearing a cloak blacker than obsidian with a silver lining.

"L-lord Ch-chaos, what a p-pleasant s-surprise," All three judges hastily bowed while tripped over their words.

"Chaos..." I thought back to all of Annabeth's ramblings. My eyes widened," You're the first primordial! The one who created everything!"

"Yes, I did," He said, looking a little proud," Now, may I borrow young Perseus Jackson for a minute?"

"W-well, he has t-to go to th-the F-fields of P-punishment," Judge #3 stammered. I admire him, standing up to the most powerful being in existence.

"Excellent! I will return him if he wants to return. Adios amigos!" With that Chaos snapped his fingers and teleported us to a all white room. Like the ones they just without the padding.

"Please sit," he said and two chairs magically appeared. I prodded the chair with my foot.

"Oh come on! It's not going to bite you!" I sat, feeling a little stupid.

"Ok! Let's het down to business!" A clipboard manifested along with one of those hotel pens.

"First thing, Percy Jackson, would you like to join my army and be commander?"

"I'd love to. But if you haven't noticed, I'm a little dead."

"Not if you drink this," Chaos triumphantly held up a vial of greenish liquid.

"Are there any... side effects?"

"Err... Well..." Chaos looked a tad but uncomfortable," You see, we only tested it on animals and such. I'm sure it's safe-" he hastily said, seeing my panicked face,"Whats life without taking risks? Plus, you're dead anyways so what's the harm?" He grimaced hearing the irony in his words.

"Alright, I'll do it," I replied after thinking about it.

"Great! Drink this," he handed me the vial,"and you'll be alive again."

I uncorked it, drank, and immediately gagged. Gods! This tastes like Minotaur dug! Chaos grimaced and shot an apologetic look at me.

"I don't feel a difference," I said.

"You'll have to wait a while. Now for the second piece of business, there is someone I would like for you to meet," Chaos snapped his fingers and someone appeared beside him. He has blond hair, blue eyes, and a tell tale scar running across his face from that fateful quest to Hesperides Garden.

Luke Castellan.

I sat with my mouth hanging open like the intellectual person I am. Luke grinned and waved. I didn't do what any other person would do if they met someone they thought was dead.

Nope. I did it the Percy Jackson way.

I poked him. In the cheek.

Then I punched him.

"Ow! What was that for?" He yelled.

"But I saw you- exploded and blood- Achilles Curse-I SAW YOU DIE!" I am so confused.

"Technically, I was never dead," Luke said.

"But Apollo said you stopped breathing!"

"That was part of the plan."

"PLAN? THERE WAS A PLAN?" I shrieked like an Aphrodite girl.

"Please stop screaming. I don't want to go deaf today. Yes, there was a plan. I met Luke when he was on that ridiculous Golden Apple quest. I offered him an invitation to join my army and he accepted. Then, I told Luke to infiltrate Kronos' army. The original plan was to gain information, but when Kronos wanted Luke to be his 'stepping stone', we couldn't give up the opportunity. All long, Luke had control but had to act like he didn't," Chaos explained. Luke grinned at my dumbstruck expression.

"So you were a double double agent?" I asked.

He blinked, "What?"

"Never mind."

"I forgot!" Chaos exclaimed.

"What?" Luke and I said in unison.

"Jinx!"

"DOUBLE JINX!" (Yes I went there. Frozen style)

"Anyways, you need a code name. Hmm... what about Theta?" Chaos mused.

"Sir, that one is already taken," Luke added.

"I know!" Chaos snapped his fingers, "Omega!"

"Omega," I echoed, "I like that."

"Now for your powers," Chaos said as he placed a hand against my forehead. The most wonderful feeling surrounded me and for the second time today, I blacked out.

How was that? Please give me some feedback. I know that Chaos does a lot of finger snapping but it's more dramatic that way. I'm kind of like Zeus now. :)
