Titles

There it was again. Artemis noticed that whenever Percy got into a fight there were two different things that could happen, he could either turn into a completely serious, cold hearted battle dominator or he would turn into a psychopath that played around with his opponent before eventually ending the fight due to his own boredom. This power was beginning to turn him into somebody that he wasn't, but strangely enough it only emerged when he was fighting. Artemis wondered if despite knowing that he didn't want the chance of him losing his claim to his throne, he was actually starting to develop another aspect anyway.

Ares was finally starting to comprehend the entire situation. Percy was playing with the enraged God. Apollo was flying around on what looked like a seriously scaled down sun chariot, his only means of keeping himself in the air. Finally Apollo gained some leeway and hit Percy in the head with both of his hands as he lept off of the chariot. Percy was flung towards the ground but it was obvious that it hadn't affected him at all whatsoever.

Percy was obviously grinning maniacally behind his platinum mask. "SHAZAM!" Lightning came down and surrounded his armor. It danced across the metal plates for a few seconds before a hearty chuckle was heard. Percy straightened up and a white beam came from his extended hand. Apollo fell to the ground and the air returned back to normal.

"Well, now that that's over. I hate it when he takes over." Percy muttered. Artemis only just heard him. Who? Was that the other aspect? Was it possible that it was already here?

"He's just paralyzed. I'm going to take care of him in a more sensible manor." Percy explained. His faceplate came down.

"Now, Ares. The black version of that beam will take you straight down to Tartarus. Any reasons that I should spare you?" Percy was incredibly intimidating, and also incredibly attractive when he was like this.

"I was just looking out for my brother you little punk. How do you think Zeus is gonna react when he finds out that you're getting all touchy feely with one of his virgin daughters?" Ares responded with a victorious smile on his face.

"Better question, what do you think Zeus is going to say when I tell him that I killed his son for meddling in affairs that didn't involve him?" Percy took a step forwards. Ares paled. There was no way he could take on Percy.

"I will of course just let you go free if you were to, I don't know, swear a death oath on Chaos' name to remain silent about it until I can figure out how we reveal this to the rest of Olympus?" Percy asked, the ball was in his court, and he was just playing for possession.

"Never. I'll go down fighting punk!" Ares growled, sourcing a sword bigger than Percy out of thin air. Well, that was Percy's bluff out the window, there was no way he would be able to keep Ares pinned in Tartarus using just his own power, not while there was a war between Gaea and the demi-gods being waged at that exact moment, Ares would be thriving off of it. Percy remembered that he didn't have to.

"Have it your way, punk." Percy responded. Dashing through the open ground that stretched dauntingly between them.

He moved up under Ares' oversized sword and grappled the God in a full nelson before both of their bodies had been engulfed in black and purple swirling smoke.

Percy didn't take him to be trapped in Tartarus at all. Here he was on his second attempt to successfully reach Chaos' realm.

He was pushed straight into a midnight black hallway that was illuminated by nothing more than single sconces that lined the walls in clear intervals. Ares was forced unconscious in the scuffle and teleportation to the void. The shadows around him swirled into the mass of a beautiful Goddess.

"Percy?" Nyx asked uncertainly as her eyes darted to the unconscious God of war.

"Yeah?" Percy replied slightly out of breath.

"What are you doing?" Her worry had disappeared very quickly and was replaced with genuine curiosity.

"So er, by the way, I'm dating Lady Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt, you know immortal man haters and all that. Well basically this shit head found out and threatened to tell Zeus and what not. He brought Apollo to spy on us, I nearly killed Apollo by accident. This guy decided to go down fighting, but I can't actually take him to Tartarus, the war will strengthen him too much. So instead I'm making him my prisoner in the void until I can release him or reason with him." Percy explained in one huge breath.

"You're my favorite, by far. I watch you regularly Percy and I've got to say, you're making a natural habit of pissing off the fates. As soon as you go back to Earth they're going to find you and title you again, it seems that you've added more in like ten minutes." Nyx explained with a crack of a smile.

"Great, now the fates hate me, whatever I'm sure I can defend myself against three hags with cudgels." Percy shrugged. Flicking his wrist a section of the wall made way for a prison cell that sucked Ares in quickly before sealing itself up.

"Do not take the fates for granted. Their attacks are not physical Perseus. Anyway, mother has made you her champion, I would opt for the same thing except you are already filling out those positions quickly, I wish to become a patron of yours so to speak. The creator of the universe, the bane of Olympus, the Queen of the Amazons and a virgin goddess that hates men for millennia. You've literally got both ends of the spectrum here Percy." Nyx laughed once again.

"Soon enough I won't be able to remember all of it. I need to be quick Lady Nyx, I still have to deal with Apollo." Percy straightened up.

"Go now Perseus Jackson, Son of Odin, Champion of Chaos and Hylla; the Queen of the Amazons. The eternal Knight of Nyx. Consort to Lady Artemis. Lord of Time and the Ages and the Bane of Ares." Nyx smiled proudly. It took Percy a moment to realize that Nyx had said Knight instead of Night, he was a warrior representing her name with just as much honor as his duties as the champion of Chaos and Hylla.

"Thank you milady." Percy bowed deep before flashing away. Nyx herself smiled at the spot he'd vanished from before melting into nothing more than shadows.

Apollo had been sat upright against a tree with Artemis staring sadly at his unmoving form.

"Whew, that was fun. Miss me in the five minutes I disappeared? So yeah, what would you say if I told you that I managed to somehow gain even more power and titles?" Percy grinned, the raw power practically writhing around his eyes. His naturally sea green took on that signature electric blue flash before the bolts in his eyes turned as black as night before the entire show finished and they returned to their normal sea green.

"I'd say that you're amazing, but I tell myself that every night." Artemis answered him lovingly.

"He can still hear us by the way. I paralyzed him, I didn't kill him or make him stupid." Percy pointed at Apollo. Pointing his finger another beam of white light enveloped his head, suddenly the features relaxed and he looked at Artemis with betrayal thick in his words.

"Arty why?" Was all he asked.

"Truly, I've fallen I love with Percy, he's unique, far different from every other male on this planet or Olympus." Artemis answered him. Apollo's features turned stony as he glanced at Percy.

"You'd better hope for your sake that you never harm her Norse." Apollo threatened. His very rare show of protectivity for his sister actually tugged at Percy's heartstrings. Their rivalry knew no bounds but in the end he was still her little brother.

Percy calmly got down into a kneeling position right in front of Apollo. His body began to vibrate and take on an aura of godly purple energy.

"I swear on Chaos' name that I will never intentionally hurt Artemis. I love your sister with all my heart and will make her feel like the queen she is for the rest of eternity." He told them both. The oath was complete but he was clearly drained from it. One final blast of white light unfroze Apollo from his paralyzed state, but his shellshock was almost beyond repair.

"Percy an oath on Chaos' name if broken will put you between a thousand roaring black holes. You'll be torn apart for all eternity, never dying, always remembering the pain." Apollo looked shocked. "That's why I believe your words. You have no fear from the punishments, you hold tight to your promises. Come Perseus, let's get you some nectar." Apollo sighed. Another secret he'd have to keep.

"Not so fast golden boy." A haggard voice called out behind them all. They turned to see the fates standing there, looking incredibly annoyed.

"Percy, it's the fates look sharp." Apollo whispered. Artemis rolled her eyes. Twenty minutes ago they were trying to kill each other, now they were the best of friends once again.

"Come on Apollo, we can take them. Just don't cheat like you did in Portugal." Percy chuckled. Artemis remembered that she never did lecture him about that. She made a mental note to do it later.

"It has come to our attention that recently you've become extremely famous Percy." The fates chimed together. Percy frowned, the last lines of that prophecy mentioned fates stopping the Gods from playing their games.

"We announce you Perseus Jackson, son of Odin, Champion of Chaos and Queen Hylla. The eternal Knight of Nyx. Consort to Lady Artemis. Lord of Time and the Ages and Bane of Ares." The fates shortened it considerably and Percy was thankful for that.

"Dude, you need a business card, any longer and you might have killed the fates." Apollo whispered. The fates heard him however.

"Oh and on the end of that, The Victor of Apollo's drinking challenge." They all grinned as both Apollo and Percy paled.

"I have to include that?" Percy felt like killing himself.

"I have to admit he beat me?" Apollo felt like killing himself.

"Idiots." Artemis threw her hands up in defeat, she gave up for today.
