Ch. 7

Last Chapter....

The Winchesters both turned to find Percy laying casually on the hood of Dean's car with a smirk on his face. Before Dean could respond, he ducked to the side when a gun went off next to him. He looked up to see Percy with a bullet hole in his head and Sam with a smoking pistol in his hand.

"Damn it dude, what the fuck? That was a fucking dick move." Percy said in a mock offended tone as the wound closed up on his head. "I just came by to say hi and you shoot me in the fucking head. Call me crazy but I'm starting to think you don't like me very much Sammy."

Now....

"Not much gets passed you does it?" Sam asked as he kept the gun aimed at Percy's head.

Percy just shook his head, "You do understand that if I wanted to, you'd be dead right now. I just came by to have a chat, no need to get your panties in a twist."

Dean reached over and put a hand on the gun, slowly lowering it and making his brother look at him with disbelief.

"What do you want?" Dean asked coldly.

Percy frowned, "Can't an old friend stop by for a chat?"

Dean reached for his own gun making Percy roll his eyes.

"Fine. I have a reason to be here. Stop trying to kill me. I happen to dislike when people try to ruin this masterpiece." He said gesturing to his face with a slight smirk.

Dean removed his hand from his gun, "Alright, let's hear what you have to say."

Percy's expression turned mischievous, "Don't you want to wait for Sam to answer the question? I mean, I can answer for him but I don't like to come between families, it's not really my style."

Dean turned to look at his brother who was looking at Percy murderously.

"You made a mistake coming here demon." Sam growled as he raised a hand towards Percy.

Percy's body stiffened and his eyes widened while Dean was just looking uncomprehendingly at his brother was doing.

Sam's expression intensified as a small bit of blood trickled out of his nose. He continued staring at Percy and waiting.

That was when Percy smirked, "Relax Sammy boy, you don't have anywhere near the juice to deal with me. But good job, I think you've successfully made your brother look ready to shit a brick."

Sam dropped his hand and turned to Dean whose face was red with rage.

"Wait Dean, let me explain." Sam pleaded.

Dean's face only turned redder, "Explain what? That you using your demon power crap? What the hell happened while I was gone Sam? Tell me the truth! No more of your lies."

Sam's face turned pale, "It's just, Ruby, she's been teaching me how I can use my powers for good. I can kill demons without killing the host. This is a good thing." He argued.

Dean opened his mouth to yell at his brother when he was cut off.

"That's not everything Sammy. C'mon, tell him how close you and Ruby really are." Percy teased.

Sam pulled out his pistol and fired another shot into Percy's head. Percy's head snapped back before he narrowed his eyes and clenched his left hand. When nothing happened, Sam smirked.

"Don't have the juice?"

Percy smirked right back, "Right, immune to most of my demonic powers. Fair enough, you've earned that power. Unfortunately for you, I have a couple others I think will work just fine." He said as he raised a hand as Sam's body stiffened. "Being a son of Poseidon has its perks. A lot of water in the human body, starting with a boatload running through your veins." He said before his hand dropped and he snapped his fingers as Sam dropped to his knees vomiting blood.

"And then there are these, quite powerful indeed." Percy said watching the younger Winchester brother with amusement as he continued vomiting blood.

"Stop it!" Dean growled.

Percy frowned, "I wasn't going to kill him. So touchy you mortals are with the whole suffering and death thing." He whined before snapping his fingers again and stopping Sam's vomiting.

Sam slowly climbed to his feet, "How did you do that? I'm immune to demonic powers."

Percy gave a sly smile, "All in good time Sammy. Now, should I be the one to tell Dean you've been fucking that whore Ruby, or are you going to do it?" He said before he put a hand over his mouth. "Whoops, it just slipped. But you should get yourself checked, that box has gone to Hell and back, both figuratively and literally."

Sam turned to Dean who was looking at him with pure disgust.

Before he could make a comment, two trucks pulled up behind their Impala as people jumped out of the beds and cabins, all with eyes black as night.

"You set us up!" Dean growled.

Percy raised an eyebrow, "Please Dean. Do you really think I need to set you up? If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead. These are not my demons. And I believe they are interrupting our conversation, something I'm not a huge fan of."

Percy slid off the hood of the car and stood next to Dean as the dozen demons stopped in their tracks.

"Perseus," one growled. "Why are you here? We're here for Dean."

Percy cocked his head to the side, "I'm sorry, do I take orders from you or something? It sounded like you were talking to me like I give two flying fucks what you say."

The demon looked a little nervous, "Lilith sent us. We are here on her orders."

Percy rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes, I know. Kill Dean Winchester. I've heard her spiel and I've already said it's not going to happen. Now go away before you get on my nerves."

The demon looked around his companions before stepping forward.

"We have our order sand they cannot be ignored."

Percy stepped closer until he was right in front of the demon.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

He was about to respond when Percy grabbed him around the throat. He raised his hand to the remaining demons as they all tried to backtrack. Before they could, their mouths opened and they were forcefully dragged out of their hosts. Percy snapped his fingers as the smoke vanished before he turned to the one remaining demon being held by the throat.

"Lilith will hear about this. She will not be pleased." He chocked out.

Percy smiled, "Not so much. You're not going back to Hell. Sorry bud, but like I've said many times, I don't take orders from anyone, Lilith included."

Percy put a hand to the demon's forehead before he could respond as it glowed with a bright white light. The demon let out an agonized scream as his eyes glowed and skin cracked, light illuminating out of the cracks before one last grunt of pain was given and the body dropped to the ground dead.

Percy cracked his neck loudly and turned back to the Winchesters who were wide eyed.

"What the fuck was that?" Dean yelled.

Percy smirked, "Um, I killed him. Problem?"

"Why did you do that?" Dean asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, why would you kill one of your own?" Sam added in.

Percy rolled his eyes, "I think you two misunderstand me. The only team I play for is team Percy. I'm not really on the side of Heaven or Hell. I'm looking out for me and me alone. Lilith is a dear old friend but her loyalties are not the same as mine. She wants Dean dead. I'm not a huge fan of that, so I stopped it."

Sam looked suspicious, "What are you trying to tell us? That you're not evil?"

Percy let out a loud laugh, "Hades no. I like to think I'm a bit different, a little mix of Heaven and Hell. The side that suits my interests is the side I will help. But really, I'm on my side and my side alone. Now speaking of Hades, I have a certain god of the dead in need of a visit from his dearest nephew. I'll leave you two to finish your little family argument. Remember Sam, lying is only going make things worse. Better to come clean now, but I'll leave that up to you, for now. You think you're helping but you're not. You're Ruby's little instrument and she's playing you to fit her needs and not yours."

Sam looked confused but Percy just shook his head and vanished. Both brothers looked at each other confused.

"Did you just hear that?" Dean asked.

Sam's eyes were wide, "It couldn't be. Must have been the wind."

Dean nodded slowly, "Yeah, probably the wind."

Line Break

Percy appeared outside DOA recording studios and wasted no time in walking inside where he saw an assortment of souls waiting for passage across the River Styx along with Charon sitting with his face behind a magazine as time passed painfully slow.

Percy walked up to the desk and waited. After a minute, he rolled his eyes and waved his hand conjuring up a bell on the desk table. He rang it a few times before the Ferryman slowly lowered his magazine, irritation clearly evident on his face.

When he laid eyes on Percy, he jumped back into his seat in shock.

"Perseus Jackson. This is impossible. You are in Tartarus."

Percy's eyes turned white making Charon push his seat as far back as it could go.

"I'm afraid not, old friend. I just stopped by to say hello before I stop by for a visit to my dearest uncle." He said with amusement laced in his voice.

Charon stared at Percy in fear, "Y... You can't go down there."

Percy just stared at the god with his milky white eyes before he let out a little chuckle, "Are you telling me you're going to stop me?"

Charon shook his head quickly.

Percy grinned, "Thought so. Now give these people a ride across. I think they've waited long enough." He said as he put his hand on the desk as it suddenly became covered in drachmas. "I think that should cover it."

Charon opened his mouth but Percy just vanished. No flash of light or any sign of godly teleportation making the minor god wonder what the Hades the son of Poseidon had actually become.

Percy reappeared outside the gates of Hades' palace where three demonic looking creatures sat perched. When they laid eyes on Percy, evil grins stretched across their faces.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here sisters? The demigod escaped Tartarus and was foolish enough to come here of his own free will. I believe we were about to have lunch anyway." Alecto said with glee in her raspy voice.

Percy looked up and had a look of fear on his face.

"Please. I'm sorry, just let me leave." He pleaded.

Alecto grinned wickedly as she and her sisters swooped down to attack. By the time they saw the smile on Percy's face, it was too late.

He spun around and flicked his wrist sending the Furies into the gates with a crash. Percy flicked his wrist as the necks of Tisiphone and Megaera. He pinned Alecto down with a foot and smiled such a sadistic grin that the fury shuddered a bit at the look in his eyes.

"Hello Mrs. Dodds, long time no see." He said as his eyes turned white and Alecto tried to squirm free of his foot.

"What are you?" She growled.

Percy smirked, "Me? I'm the new and improved Percy Jackson. I guess your master forgot to mention; I'm back and I'm going to rip the asshole out of the Greek world out and stuff it down its throat."

Alecto tried to struggle harder but Percy simply reached down and grabbed her leathery bat wings. He ripped the right one right off her body with a quick tug as she let out an agonizing scream.

"What's wrong hunny?" Percy said gently.

"Just do it! Kill me already!" Alecto growled. "I will just reform in a decade."

Percy smiled, "That is true for your sisters but as for you, I have a much better fate for you hunny."

Alecto looked confused but Percy just grabbed her other wing and took his time pulling it from her body, making sure she felt every inch of it being ripped off. He held the leather wing in his hand with satisfaction.

"Now, do you know where the monsters of the world go? The ones who aren't part of Greek mythology?"

Alecto looked up confused but Percy just smiled and put his hand to her face. She reached out and bit him but froze when he just smiled. He forced his hand into her mouth and ripped her tongue out as her blood spewed out covering him.

"Enjoy Purgatory hunny. There is no escape from that. That will be your eternity." Percy said grinning despite the blood on his face. He placed a hand on her forehead as it glowed brightly for a second before Alecto screamed and her body dissolved.

"Best teacher I ever had." Percy muttered as he flicked his wrist and the gates of the palace were blown off their hinges.

He walked unchecked straight into the palace and into the throne room where he found Hades, Persephone and Demeter sitting uncomfortably in thrones.

"Hello uncle." Percy said coldly.

Hades fidgeted nervously in his throne, "Perseus. Why are you here?"

Percy looked up with those cold milky white eyes, "Nico and Hazel. Summon them here, now."

Hades looked visibly shaken. He gulped hard and shook his head, "No. I will not bring my children here to die."

Percy narrowed his eyes before he turned to Persephone and then to Demeter. He clapped his hands together as the goddess exploded in a shower of golden ichor that quickly dissolved into golden dust.

"Bring them to me. Now." Percy growled.

"My mother? You killed my mother you bastard!" Persephone snarled. She jumped out of her throne but Percy just looked at her and the goddess froze in her spot.

"Yes. I killed her. She will reform eventually. I was merciful with her. I will not be the same for you. Bring me Nico and Hazel or you will get the same treatment Hestia did." He growled at the goddess of springtime.

Persephone looked at her husband who actually looked near tears. He shook his head, "I... I can't."

Percy made a reaching motion with his hand as Persephone grabbed her throat and struggled to breathe. Percy just stared at Hades as he continued to choke the life out of his wife.

"Stop it Percy! Let her go." A voice said from behind him.

"No Nico! Get out of here, now!" Hades yelled.

Percy dropped Persephone and flicked his wrist at Hades sending him flying back against the wall. He turned back to Nico who stood at the back of the throne room nervously, still looking like the 16 year old Percy had last seen a decade earlier.

"And Hazel? Where is she?" Percy asked.

Nico shook his head, "No Percy. We both tried to defend you when this happened. I get it. You're here to kill everyone but not her. Kill me if you must but just let my sister be. She never did anything to you."

Percy shook his head, "Fine then, the Underworld will be in need of a new god." He said turning back to Hades but before he could raise his hand a new voice stopped him.

"I'm here Percy." Hazel said nervously from beside Nico who was trying to whisper for her to run.

"Come to me, both of you." Percy said stoically.

Both siblings looked at each other nervously but knew they had little options. The slowly marched their way to Percy before stopping a few feet in front of him.

Percy eyed them both closely for a minute before his eyes flickered back to sea green and he grinned.

"Come here you two, I've missed you."

Nico and Hazel's eyes both widened but before they could react Percy pulled them each into a hug. When he stepped back he was smiling at their nervous and confused expressions.

"You're not going to kill us?" Hazel squeaked out.

Percy laughed, "Kill you two? Never. You guys are my friends. The only ones who stood up for me. I love you guys."

Nico still looked unsure, "But you killed Hestia. She defended you too."

Percy frowned a bit, "I will admit, that was regrettable. She needed to die though. She carries the hope of Olympus and they needed to know there is no hope for any of them. I also needed the gods to understand that I will kill them, any of them, without hesitation."

Hazel stared at Percy for a minute, "So you just wanted to say hi?"

Percy smirked, "No, not really. I am here to offer you two to join me. I need trusted friends with me and I don't want to have to kill you guys. Join me and I promise I will spare your father and his wife."

Nico and Hazel exchanged a look before they looked at their father who was even paler than usual.

"What does it mean to join you? Do we have to become like you?" Hazel asked.

Percy smirked, "Not if you don't want to. Just know this world is about to change. I just need to know you are on my side and then you are safe."

Hazel still looked unsure, "And do we have to kill people?"

Percy chuckled, "Only if you want to Haze. I can tell you're still nervous. Just swear on the Styx not to betray me and you and your family will be safe. The gods will fall regardless of your decision but that is just the beginning. I only offer this to you two because you stuck by me until the end but the decision is yours."

Nico looked at Percy curiously, "Um, Perce, what exactly are you now?"

Percy smiled at the question, "That is more complicated than you may know. Let's just call me a demon."

Nico's jaw dropped a bit, "And what does that mean exactly?"

Percy shrugged, "You know, cool powers, immortality, the ability to kill Olympians by clapping my hands together." He said gesturing to the golden dust that was once the Goddess of Agriculture."

"You killed Demeter?" Hazel asked in shock.

Percy nodded, "She sentenced me to Tartarus. She got a quick ending since she just went along with the rest. Others will get far less pleasant deaths."

The room was silent for a full minute before anyone spoke.

"I want in." Nico said determinately. "We've been outcasts since you were thrown into Tartarus. I want to rip the gods to pieces as well."

Percy grinned and looked at Hazel. She shuffled nervously before stopping herself. "Me too actually. I'm tired to the way the gods treat us. They deserve what they get. I want in. All the way too. Turn us into what you are." She said as Nico nodded.

Percy's grin threatened to split his face.

"My old friends, this is great. Let's get out of here. I need to introduce you to my wife. And Nico, before you get pissed, my wife is Zoë. She is not responsible for Bianca's death and I won't stand for any disrespect towards her."

Nico nodded, "I heard it was her. I'm over what happened to Bianca. I have a new sister now, one that wouldn't abandon me to join those worthless hunters."

Percy smiled again, "Good. How about after we take care of a few things, we pay a visit to those little bitchy hunters? They no longer have a goddess after Zoë blinded her."

Nico grinned wickedly, "I think I like your wife even more already. That sounds like the best news I've heard in the past decade."

Percy nodded and turned back to Hades, "Well looks like you're safe now uncle, along with your wife. I would recommend staying away from Olympus for a while. Wouldn't want you to get caught in the crossfire."

Hades opened his mouth to respond but Percy put a hand on both Nico's and Hazel's shoulders and vanished from the throne room of the Underworld.
