《Another War》Chapter 4: Unseen Future and Lost Love

Athena and Annabeth had been healed after they had reached the palace and were now sitting with Percy and Poseidon around a round table.

"So!" Percy clapped his hands together, "Why are we here?" He smiled around but was only greeted with dark expressions except Annabeth, who rolled her eyes at seeing Percy's childlike behaviour but nevertheless affectionately rubbed his hand which she was holding.

"Percy," Poseidon looked at him with fear, "You are in grave danger. Zeus has issued an arrest warrant for you. You need to hunt."

"Wait, What?" The demigod's eyes widened as he tensed up and started tapping his feet nervously.

"But why?" Annabeth demanded.

Athena looked at both the demigods gravely, "I'm sure you know about the Primordials?"

Annabeth nodded but Percy shook his head.

"Of course you don't." muttered Athena under her breathe. "The Primordials are ancient beings, older than the Titans, like Gaia. They have the real control over nature. Like your father Poseidon is the sea god but the primordial Pontus is the real sea deity."

"Okay. So in short, they are extremely powerful." Percy said gravely and Annabeth nodded, agreeing with her boyfriend.

The wisdom goddess continued, "Yes. The primordial Chronus summoned-"

Percy freaked out, "Wait. Since when is Kronos a primordial? How can Kronos summon anyone? I thought I had destroyed him? He wasn't supposed to rise early."

Athena looked irritated, "Chronos with a C and H not with a K! They are different. Primordial Chronus and Titan Kronos have different names but their personality are similar and both of them have the most precious thing under control, Time. The primordial summoned you Percy. That means that he is going to exterminate you, make you fight him to the death. I care about my daughter Annabeth and I know that she can't live without you. "

Annabeth wasn't listening to her mother, she looked at her furiously, "And you support Zeus? ZEUS IS PARANOID! HE IS A BASTARD! AFTER ALL PERCY HAD DONE FOR OLYMPUS TO SAVE YOUR SORRY BUTTS, YOU ALL REPAY HIM LIKE THIS?!"

Athena lost her temper, "ANNABETH! BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT ME! I AM STILL YOUR MOTHER!"

Annabeth just looked at her mother disbelievingly.

(

"Athena, we have little time left. Have you thought about the hiding place?"

Athena shook her head in disappointment, "No."

"Then how can we keep them safe?" Poseidon asked disbelievingly.

"I don't know, Poseidon. I have thought and thought and thought and I can't find any place suitable for hiding them. I have got completely hopeless. I don't know what to do. "

"Yes but we should-"

The female demigod interrupted Poseidon, "I have a plan. All we you two have to do is-"

But before Annabeth could complete her sentence, they heard the sound of an explosion.

The gods' eyes widened in fear, they said together, "They found us!"

The two demigods brandished out their weapons. Celestial bronze of the weapons gleamed brightly. Athena took out her shield and Poseidon his trident.

"I thought this was supposed to be safe" said Percy as they got into their battle stances.

"I think something is wrong with your security system Poseidon!" teased Athena.

"Hey! Don't blame my security systems." Answered Poseidon.

"Well, maybe if you could have arranged a better security system, this invasion would not have happened."

"Maybe if you could just shut up."

"No. I won't. How about you shut up?"

"How about you could shut up!" said the two demigods in unison.

"They are right you know." Pointed out Poseidon.

"Dad!" Said a very annoyed Percy.

"Okay! I'll just focus on battle."

The rest of the three nodded their heads in unison.

The door of the War Room exploded.

"But I just finished building that door." Cried out Poseidon.

All the Nine Olympians and Hades (Hermes was missing) entered the War Room in their full glory. Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hades and Hephaestus looked very unsure and unhappy about the battle. Ares looked very excited.

Zeus boomed, "Poseidon and Athena! You are traitors to your own brothers and sisters and cousins for protecting Perseus Jackson like that. He must go to Lord Chronos. If you don't give up now, I'm afraid that you will face a fight to death, son of Poseidon."

"He will not come!" Annabeth grinded her teeth while the two gods and Percy readied themselves.

"Very well then! Hades?" Hades looked like he wanted to smack Zeus but was bounded by some rules, "Now!"

Zeus summoned huge lightnings using his Master Bolt and Hades spread out his hands as black and thick smoke started to come out of them. At the same time Poseidon summoned a huge wave which blocked one of the lightning bolt but the other hit Athena who was barely able to block the lightning.

"Apollo! Artemis! SHOOT!" Ordered Zeus.

The twins fired their arrows, two of which embedded into the sea god's chest and four more into his stomach. Ichor started flowing out of the wound.

"Shoot more!" Ordered Zeus.

Artemis protested, "But father, if we shoot any more arrows, he may not ever wake up again."

"USELESS, YOU BOTH! HEPHAESTUS! ARES! DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO!"

Ares snarled, "With pleasure!" Hephaestus simply nodded his head after hearing Zeus' order.

Zeus kept shouting orders at everyone, "APHRODITE! YOU GO AND CAPTURE POSEIDON ALONG WITH DIONYSUS, DEMETER AND HERA! GO!"

Percy and Annabeth was fighting both Hephaestus and Ares. Ares sneaked attacked on Percy who barely escaped from the blow of Ares' hammer- come- spear- come- sword.

Annabeth did try her best but she was stabbed into her stomach by Dionysus. She let out a gasp and looked down at where the sword had impaled her and then at Percy who was looking at her with wide eyes with tears in them.

"ANNABETH!"

All the attacks ceased as everyone looked at Percy who sat down abruptly on his knees. He slowly took the barely alive Annabeth into his hands, "No no no no no. You are not going to give up. Not now. Not when I need you the most."

"Seaweed Brain." Annabeth laughed a little at his child like thoughts, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I failed you."

"No, you didn't fail me. I failed you. I'm so sorry."

"Poor Percy!" whispered Aphrodite, tears coming out of her eyes.

Annabeth told Percy with her dying breathe, "Seaweed Brain, don't give up on hope. Don't do anything stupid. I will be waiting for you in Elysium. I hope I have to wait for a really long time. Don't give up on love." Annabeth coughed out a bit of blood, "I wanted to give you this news very beautifully but I guess now that it's not possible. Percy, I'm p-"And her body went limp into his hands.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANNABETH! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WISE GIRL PLEASE WAKE UP! IT'S ME! PLEASE DO! ANNABETH!"

Ares, being the most horrible god sneaked stacked Percy with his spear which impaled Percy in the stomach and changed his spear into hammer and gave a blow on Percy's head.

The last thing Percy said before blacking out was, "I love you, Wise Girl...."
