Omega POV

"Is this some kind of joke? Do you think it's funny?" I start to plan some very painful deaths for the gods.

"Percy! Stop! Let me explain! It's not a trick!" Annabeth rushes towards me.

"And why should I believe you? You should I believe any of you? ALL OF YOU BETRAYED ME!" I roar and watch Annabeth flinch. A rational part of me is saying that I should stop and listen. But who need logic?

"Omega, they are right. This is not a trick. They obviously have a lot of explaining to do today," Chaos steps out of a portal and frowns at the gods.

"You knew about this?!?" My anger grew as I look at Chaos. The ground starts shaking and everyone stumbles around. I see Luke and Jax looking at me with worry. They didn't step any closer because they know Chaos is the only one who can calm me down. 'Another betrayal, someone else I can't trust', I think bitterly.

"OMEGA! STOP! I DIDN'T KNOW!" Chaos yells. The ground stops shaking and I calm down slightly. I look at him, surprised, and see Luke and Jax doing the same. There is nothing Chaos doesn't know. He's the universe itself for gods' sake!

"I didn't know," he repeated. "Do you really think that I would keeo it from you if I knew? I don't know how I didn't know this, but I intend to find out. Meanwhile, Annabeth should explain to you and Zeus here can tell the rest of us about this situation."

I nod and mutely follow Annabethy out of the throne room. We stop in a small aclove. Annabeth took a deep breath and start to tell me what happened.

"A couple weeks before I died-" I flinch "-Rachel has a vision. She doesn't know exactly what happens, but she had a strong feeling that Kronos will come back. She said that the only person who will be able to defeat him is you, Percy. On the down side, she also sensed that something very bad will happen to you. So we, Athena, Poseidon, and I, came up witha to protect you. As you know, a god can't directly influence a demigod or a mortal, but a mortal or a demigod doesn't have enough power to protect you against all those monsters.We went through the Ancient Laws, looking foor a loophole. Eventually, Athena, of course, found one.

"An imortal can interfere with a mortal's affairs if it is his/her job to preotect them. So basically I would have became the Goddess of Percy Jackson or something like that. Then, we came up-"

"What would have happened to you if I died?" I cut in.

"I would have faded. Anyways-" she continued, quickly changing the subject, "-the plan was for me to 'die'. But in reality, I would have been teleported to Mount Olympus to become your protector. As always, plans that include you, Seaweed Brain, never go according you plan," She mockingly glares at me and I feel a rush of nostalgia.

"That's true," I joke. It feels good to be back with her, talking, joking.

"Then you di- you got stabbed. The gods and I were in the middle of making me the 'Goddess of Percy' when you died. If Hades didn't sense you dying, I would have faded as soon as the last words were spoken. On the other hand, if we had stopped, the force of the magic would have caused the entire Empire State Building to explode, along with anything in a 10 mile radius."

"What happened next?" Right now, I feel like a 5 year old listening to the teacher tell a story.

Annabeth laughs, seeing my excitement. "Well, Lady Artemis said to make me the minor Goddess of Architecture and War Strategies, second to Athena."

"Wow. That is amazing for you! Goddess Annabeth, that has a nice ring to it. Wait, does that mean you're immortal?"

"Duh," She rolls her eyes but still smiles.

"Cool! Me too!" I exclaim.

"Really? I haven't noticed. That must be some strong anti-aging cream you got," She jokes.

"Sure do! We can be immortal together!" I grab her hand and start twirling her around. She laughs and I'm mesmerized by the beautiful sound.

I suddenly stop. "Wait, that doesn't explain why the gods put me in the Fields of Punishment. If I weren't for Chaos, I would still be listening to 70s music."

"Right. That too," Annabeth sighs, sits down on the floor, and leans her head against the marble walls. I do the same.

"The 12 most powerful dhdjdchdbdjxbdkdxvdhdvdjdb decided to try to take over the minds of the Olympians."

"But there's 14 Olympians and only 12 dhnxjsbndx, because Hestia and Hades joined the council." I remember.

"Correct. They sent a couple of monsters after Poseidon to delay him and decided that Hestia isn't 'worth it'." Her eyes fills with anger at the last sentance. I'm pretty sure that mine did the same.

"When one of the ddbdjdjbd tried to take over Hades' mind, the thing mentally shattered. All of the death, pain, misery, and torture broke the djdndbbd. When Hades and Hestia realized what had happened, they rushed to Camp Half Blood to get Piper. Back on Mount Olympus, Pipes used her Charmspeak to persuade the sjzndgsyNsv out of the gods. She first fixed Aphrodite then, together, they fixed the rest.

"By the time they figured what they- no the dhdndken- had done, you were gone. Poof. Nobody could find a trace if you anywhere. Believe me, we looked. We're still looking. Camp Jupiter, Camp Half Blood, Tyson and his army of Cyclopes, the Hunters, Amazons, the gods, even Lupa and her wolves searched for you. Nico is supposed to come back from a Perce Search this afternoon." Her eyes beg me to understand.

"A Perce Search? Is that what you guys call it?" I grin.

Annabeth can obviously tell that she is forgiven and grins back. "Yup, Conner and Travis came up with it."

"How are they?"

"Eh, they got arrested a few times since they are of 'legal age'. "

"And Nico? Jason? Piper? Hazel? Leo? Frank? And Gr-"

"Ok Seaweed Brain, I get it. The gods made the seven immortal including Nico and Grover. Reyna refused and so did Coach Hedge. Millie and Coach named their baby Chuck! He is so adorable!" Annabeth gushes.

"Well I guess I should go and apologize to the gods," I grab her hand and we walk back to the throne room.

"I just want to say I'm sorry that I shouldn't have assumed you guys did all the stuff I thought you did," I stand there awkwardly waiting for someone to speak.

"We don't blame you you thinking that. After all the other ...wrongs we did, it sounds like something we would have done. We accept your apology, Omega," Zeus says gruffly and the other gods nod.

I grin and say, "Call me Percy."

That's right, Percy is BACK! Sorry it took so long to update. Just me being lazy and procrastinating. Hope you enjoyed it. :)
