Chapter 9

3rd POV

Percy woke up in a mysteriously lit room which had no candles or lights to speak of, yet shadows danced on the walls as though a fire was lit in the middle.. "Where am I? Am I dead?" thought Percy as he got out of the bed and walked to the solid black door.

Upon opening it he was hit with the sight of ancient greek temples each the size of a mountain of themselves. *Whistle* "Damn." Percy stated impressed by the sheer size of the temples not to even mention the actual appearance of each. One was a deep black that seemed to seek out light just to devour it. Another one which Percy liked the most was a temple that seemed to change colors from blue to light green exactly the shades that the sea took at any time.

As Percy walked through the place he saw huge doors that were 60ft high. The doors themselves gave off an aura as you got closer to them and seemed that it would crush you. Percy couldn't describe it, but if he could it would be pure raw Power. It felt like he stood in front of Tartarus again as an enemy only a dozen times worse. They were black, or were they white? Blue? Percy couldn't tell they shifted never remaining a single color and never repeating the same color twice.

Percy walked up to the doors and pushed the open as the doors started to open slowly into a giant room. There stood humongous towers. No, not towers, thrones as large as buildings each one was 50ft tall and hovered above the ground. In each throne sat giants. No, giants was an insult the shortest one could have easily been taller than any giant. Not to mention their power, which radiated a pressure that would have crushed anyone lesser than Percy.

"Welcome, Perseus Jackson. We have been waiting for you to awaken" said one of the beings as Percy looked at every being until his eyes stopped at one of them. In one of the thrones sat Tartarus, his throne was black as an abyss yet red seemed to flow through in intricate designs "What am I doing here, and how am I still alive?" asked Percy as he looked towards the direction of the voice.

"You have been summoned here by us before you could die from Zeus master bolt. We have decided to make you a primordial and give you a seat on this council so that you could help us stop Chaos" said one of the primordials who was sitting on a throne that was made out of sand, but the sand wasn't normal it kept on moving and changing just like time itself.

"You're Chronous the primordial of time aren't you?" asked Percy as the man smiled and his eyes shone a bit as if he was happy that Percy was able to recognize him. "Yes, and I am going to help you with your time powers after you become a primordial."

"I'm going to become a primordial?" asked Percy not believing his own ears. "Yes, you have proven yourself as the greatest hero in all of history and Chaos created us so he knows our weaknesses. So you will have a better chance against him then us, but we will help you of course." Percy stood in the middle of the room trying to grasp what is happening. "What will happen if I refuse?"

"I think you know the answer to that yourself" said Chronous. Percy looked at the ground before looking up again. "Alright I'll become a primordial." Chronous and Tartarus smiled in return.

"Before that you will have to get Gaia and Ouranos remains" said a feminine voice. Percy turned towards the direction of the voice. The woman had long beautiful black hair that went past her shoulders. Her eyes were darker than black itself and her skin was slightly pale. Her throne was black but had tiny specks of white in it that glowed. "You're Nyx the primordial of the night" said Percy as she smiled back in return.

"Why do I have to get their remains though?" asked Percy confused and felt anger rise up as he remembered Gaia. "It will give you power over the sky and earth which will affect your domains and powers when you become one of us, as well as allow you to fight on even ground with Father" replied Nyx. Percy nodded as he comprehended what she said.

"Alright, where can I find their remains?" asked Percy as if he wanted to get this finished and be done with this. "Gaia's remains are located in the center of the earth and Ouranos' remains are on top of Mt. Everest."

Percy stared at Nyx in shock, the center of the earth where no mortal had ever gone and the tallest most difficult to climb mountain in the world, and they wanted him to travel there and defeat whatever dwelled there before returning to fight the most powerful being in the history of everything.

"Great! How will I know where the remains are?" said Percy. "You will find a giant shrine where the remains are located, but be careful the shrines will be protected and I doubt Chaos will just watch as you try to get the remains" said a different voice this time.

The man had pitch black hair and black eyes. His skin was a dark color that you could mistake him for a shadow if you weren't looking carefully. The throne was black and seemed to be made of solid shadows.

"You're Erebus" said Percy as he looked at man who nodded in return. Then he stood up and walked up to Percy. "Let me bless you I'm sure my blessing will come in handy." He put his hand on Percy shoulder as shadows engulfed Percy and then got absorbed by his own shadow. Percy bowed and thanked Erebus.

"I would like to give you my blessing also" said a different voice across the room. The man was the complete opposite of Erebus, he had platinum blond hair and a nice lightly tanned skin, his eyes were like two suns that shone brightly. "Will you accept it?" he asked.

"It will be my pleasure to receive your blessing Lord Aether" said Percy as he bowed. Aether nodded as he lifted his hand and shot a beam of light at Percy. The light hit Percy and caused him to shine brightly before the light died out leaving the great streak of hair he had a pure white color.

"Thank you Lord Aether" said Percy as he bowed again. "Now retrieve the remains, the faster you succeed the faster we will be able to stop Chaos" said Aether. Percy nodded as he headed for the door. "And Percy, make sure nobody finds you or knows about you, or all our plans might be found out by Chaos and than we will have no chance of winning. Percy nodded before opening the giant doors and leaving the room.

Artemis POV

It's has been two days already and there was still no sign of Percy. Me and my hunters had searched almost without breaks but were not able to find even a slightest clue of where Percy had vanished of too, it's like his existence was removed from this world.

"Lady Artemis lets take a break the hunters are tired and hungry" said Thalia as he walked up to me. "Alright lets settle for camp and then we can continue to scout .

3rd POV

"Damn, it's hot in here" said Percy as he was going deeper and deeper into the earth. If not for his resistance to heat and flames he would probably be fried to a crisp by now. After what seemed like hours Percy broke into the center of the core. It was probably hotter than hell itself. Everything was red and lava flowed everywhere. In the middle stood a huge shrine on a small piece of land, more like the only one.

Percy swam through lava as quickly as he could just in case he lost his resistance to heat and fire somehow while swimming in lava. As soon as Percy reached the land he felt the earth shake as pieces of rock started to fall from above into the lava. "Now what?" said Percy as he noticed something rising from the lava.

It was huge, the creature rose from the lava and shook itself sending lava everywhere, revealing itself. It was a huge red fox with red eyes, its claws and teeth that looked larger than Percy himself and sharp like they could slice through steel without effort. But the greatest feature was its nine flowing tails that seemed to be bathed in blood from its fur.

"Leave this place before I kill you foolish little one" growled the fox as it stalked up to Percy slowly circling. "Who are you?" asked Percy as he drew his swords. "I am the incarnation of pure wrath and hatred. Created from all the hatred and curses that Gaia felt when she faded. I am pure rage and anger."

"Well sorry, but I kind of need Gaia's remains, care to let me just take them and leave?" said Percy with a grin on his face. The fox roared in rage. "Don't tell me I didn't warn you mortal!" said the fox as it charged at Percy.

Percy immediately took to the air, unfolding his wings in order to dodge the fox's attack. When the fox bit down in the space Percy occupied seconds ago, only to find empty air. Percy knew he couldn't fly too high or risk impalement on the sharp stalactites above. With that in mind he dove for the red fox's back easily a hundred feet long and an easy target for his sword. Drawing riptide Percy carved a long bloody path into the canines fur.

*RAWR* the fox howled in pain. "Brat how dare you, I will rend the flesh from your bones and use each of your bones to skewer you over my flames and eat you while you scream." the fox viciously said. "Dude did anyone ever tell you to chill out? You really need to stop being so violent, ever think about gardening?" Percy replied cheekily.

*ROAR* the giant fox roared in rage and charged him again, only this time several stalactites were shaken loose and came plummeting down, forcing Percy to try to defend himself by calling on his old nameless shield crafted by his half-brother Tyson. Reinforced with trace amounts of prisidion the shield withstood the fox's claws but couldn't stop Percy from being flung heavily into a nearby wall and landing in one of the flowing rivers of lava.

Recovering his wits and using his wings to propel himself out fast as a blur he slammed his armored body right into the jaw of the great beast that had come closer to wait for him. The nine tails body flipped and he landed heavily on his back stunned. Unfortunately Percy couldn't take advantage of this because he had to shake his headache out. "Ugh note to self tackling giant monster in the face not good idea" said Percy as he tried to regain himself from the dizziness. He took a look at his half melted shield, "Man I knew I should have put in more prisidion."

Taking advantage of his distraction the fox grabbed a boulder and flung it at Percy with its tails. Percy was still a bit dizzy so the boulder seemed to be more on his right than it actually was so when he thought he dodged it it hit his, breaking a few ribs and sending him flying into the lava pool by his side... Again.

Percy started to sink to the bottom since the impact from before and with the boulder made his mind unstable. However since heat and fire where now one of his energy sources Percy began to heal slowly. He felt his ribs pop back into the right places and mend together as his mind became more clear. The pain remained there though even after he was killed. Percy then let the lava rise him up to the top as he shot out of the pool into the air. The fox growled in anger at seeing him still alive and all healed up.

"Sorry to disappoint you but that was just a warm up" said Percy even though he knew he wouldn't last much longer at this rate even if he did keep healing he would fall from the pain. Percy took out his scythe which glowed from all the light the lava gave off. Then Percy got an idea, he raised his scythe and the lava started to rise and gather into one spot. Before Percy appeared a wolf made out of lava.

The fox stepped back as it looked at its predator. Percy grinned as he watched the wolf to start circling the fox, looking for an opening to attack. While the fox was being distracted Percy tried to try out the powers Erebus gave him. As he reached for the power he felt a presence in his mind. "Are you my master?" it asked with a voice that was quiet and soft but gave you the chills down your back. "Are you my master?" it repeated again.

"I don't know about that but I need your help whoever you are" said Percy as he replied to the voice in his hands. "As you wish, master" replied the voice. As soon as the voice said that Percy watched as his shadow rose and and started to form into a human shape. The shadow formed into a man with a lance. Instead of his eyes were two white glowing orbs.

"Who are you?" asked Percy as he looked at he man made of shadows. "I'm a shadow warrior, our clan was created by Erebus before the gods were born. However when Zeus got power he ordered to eliminate us since we were too powerful and he saw us as a threat. There only five of us left now." Percy grinned "Well you don't have to worry about Zeus you won't see him for quite a long time."

"Why is that?" asked the shadowman. "I'll explain later but we gotta kill this fox first" said Percy as he pointed at the fox who was fighting the wolf. The wolf was holding on to the fox with its jaws, while the fox had its tails wrapped around the wolf as it tried to crush it. "We should hurry up I don't think this will last much longer" said Percy as he readied his scythe. "Yeah, lets do this" said the shadowman as he got ready.

Percy charged as the shadowman turned into a shadow and slided over the ground at insane speed. He traveled up the fox's body and turned back into his human form when he was on top of its head. Percy flew up to the top of the head where the shadowman was and pierced the fox's eye with his scythe while the shadowman stabbed the other eye, blinding the fox. The fox roared in pain as it sent out a blast that pushed back everything and sent us flying into different direction.

Percy POV

I flew from the blast and hit the side of the temple wall hard enough to fly through three walls. I groaned in pain as I tried to get up, I felt the control over the wolf break and felt the lava break apart. I lay there for a while before I could get up. I looked around the room I was in. The room was large with a bunch of drawings of the earth, the giants, and in the middle of the room was a platform with a jar in the middle. I walked up to the jar which radiated with intense godly power.

I looked into the jar to see a bunch of dirt. "Are these supposed to be the remains?" I said as I grabbed the jar to get a better look. When I grabbed the jar it began to glow brighter and brighter until it was too bright to look. I closed my eyes as I felt the power increase. I waited until it died down and opened my eyes.

I could feel power run through my body that like I had never felt before. I could feel the earth itself and could see multiple things at once that happened on the earth. I saw people walking in a park, a rabbit run through the woods, I felt the trees growing and taking the nutrients out of the ground.I smiled "It's time for a fox hunt" I said as I sank into the ground.

I reappeared in front of the temple where I saw the shadowman fight the fox who was hitting everything it could since it couldn't see. I had to admit the shadow man was powerful he dodged all the random blows that came from the fox and managed to cut off three of its tails. I decided to end this as I felt the earth underneath me, which was the core. I made a crack under the fox and watched as it fell in. Then I closed it and felt the fox getting crashed into a pancake."I wonder if I made a new piece of land somewhere by accident?" I thought after realising what I just did.

As I was thinking the shadowman returned to me and transformed back into human form before me. "That was one hell of a fox" he said as he made his lance disappear somewhere. "So where are we going next?" he asked. "Mt. Everest if you know where that is" I replied. He nodded, call upon me if you need me since I see that you are my master." I laughed "Please don't call me master and just be my friend" The shadowman smiled "Thank you, I'm Lancer by the way." I smiled "Percy, Percy Jackson"

Linebreak

I was flying in the sky and could see before me at its glory. It was huge, much bigger than I expected it to be. As I was flying I noticed a godly aura nearby. I landed on the grounded and concentrated on the earth. I felt multiple people walking and concentrated on that spot. What I saw surprised me and shot pain through my heart. It was Artemis and her hunt. I wanted to run to her and tell her I'm alive but remembered that no one was supposed to know.

I let go of my concentration and called Lancer. "Do you need something?" he asked in my head. "Yeah, can you turn into a cloak?" I asked. "Yes I can change into any shape" he replied. "Then please turn into one, there are people here that know me and I can't tell them I'm alive yet"

"Of course" said Lancer as I felt him leave my shadow and wrap around me. "Now no one will be able to tell who you are, I made the shadows of the hood fall on your face so that no one would recognize you."

"Thanks" I replied as I started to walk up the mountain since if they saw my wings it would give me away immediately.

Artemis POV

I was walking with my hunters in the Himalayas, to be more accurate, . We had been searching for Percy almost a whole week and there was not a single clue. We were walking higher and higher into the mountains to scout the area because I felt a strong and powerful aura.

"Come on girls we're getting close" I said as I felt the aura increase and become more intense with every step we took forward. Then hell broke lose, the ground shook like the mountain was about to split in half. I heard a loud roar. I turned my head into that direction and almost fell over.

In front of me stood Typhoon, he was huge and seemed pissed at something. I followed his gaze to see a man standing a bit farther up the mountain. He was around 6'2 and had a cloak on, but what was strange was that his cloak was made out of shadows. I looked at his face but to my disappointment found that the shadows from the hood covered his face.

I looked up at Typhoon who had broke off a huge piece of a mountain and threw it at the man. I looked at the man and hoped that he would survive somehow, because it didn't seem possible to survive that.

I watched as the man was about to pull something out of thin air but he stopped as if he realised something. At that moment a thought went through my head "can it be Percy? He can pull out objects out of his dimensional space." I watched as he stopped and all of a sudden at the last minute a giant hand formed out of the ground and caught the piece of mountain. "Everyone stood there stunned even Typhoon looked confused.

"Who is that? Wasn't Gaea defeated? Just who is this man? Is he one of the Ourea?" As millions of thoughts ran through my head I watched the man swing his arm like he threw a ball and the giant hand copied him and sent the big chuck of the mountain at Typhoon who was still confused and didn't have time to dodge.

The giant rock hit him square in the chest and sent him crashing down the mountain. Typhoon got up looking even more angrier. "You will pay for this!" he shouted as he broke off a sharp piece of mountain and grabbed it like a bat. He charged at the man who was starting to glow. The glow kept getting brighter and more intense until the whole area was blinded and nothing except the color white could be seen.

So that was ch 9, sorry bout the cliff hanger and if you haven't guessed it the nine tailed fox was inspired by Naruto. Plz review and we will try to post the next ch next week! Thank you for reading guys!
