Chapter 20 The Battle of Olympus Part 1

Percy's POV

"Okay so after the whole skeleton warrior thing I tried to find Grover through my empathy link."

"We have an empathy link?" GU asked curiously.

"Yup, its normally easy to get your attention though, just mention food" I said snickering, GU blushed.

"Hey its the same for you" Grover bleated. Well that was true... but what can I say I'm a growing boy.

"I've contacted him before but this time it was different, the connection was fuzzy and muffled, Grover also wouldn't reply back" I said remembering how confusing that had been. "I tried to get his attention and eventually got it by screaming pancakes into his mind" I continued.

"Dude you have no idea how weird that sounded" Leo said seriously but you could see the amusement in his eyes. Well now that I think about it that did sound pretty weird but didn't make my top ten.

"Anyway" I continued, "it just got weirder after that, it was like a flood of colors and images."

"Yeah that's weird" Conner agreed.

"Duh" Katie said in an obvious tone.

"So I remembered some of the images that had flashed through the link and went with Nico to find Grover" I said. "We eventually found him, Morpheus the god of sleep had put Grover to sleep for two months in a forest, Morpheus worked for Kronos" I finished. GU looked terrified and Grover made a face, remembering what had happened. "Then something really, really weird happened" I said.

There was a gasp. "But Percy nothing weird ever happens around you" Travis said his hand covering his mouth in fake shock. I reached over and hit him on the arm. "Ow Perce why'd you do that" he wined, I gave him an are you serious look.

"Okay let's move on from your guys's stupidity and continue with the story" Thalia said punching Travis and I.

I pouted and rubbed the now forming bruise on my arm. "Gods is this abuse Travis day?" Travis asked, pouting.

"I hope so" Katie said cheerfully. The girls high fived her while Travis assumed a wounded appearance, she kissed him and his whole demeanor changed, he looked like a little boy on Christmas morning. Conner and I burst out laughing.

"Dude your so whipped' I exclaimed laughing. Annabeth gave me a look and I quieted down, I did not need to face the wrath of Annabeth, its a terrifying experience. Conner burst out laughing, sure Conner laugh at my pain I thought and pouted.

"What is it with you boys and pouting" Piper asked shaking her head.

"What you don't like it" Jason asked pouting giving her puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry sparky but only Percy's puppy dog eyes work", Hazel and Annabeth nodded in agreement.

"It took me a few years to learn to resist them" Annabeth said. I smiled victoriously, oh yeah who's the man I thought happily.

The guys looked at me in wonder."Teach us how to do that" they pleaded, I sighed.

"Okay I guess I could teach you guys how to become a ladies man, but it won't be easy" I said shaking my head, the girls burst out laughing.

"Okay this is all great but can we get back to the story now" Clarisse demanded annoyed, we better start soon because an annoyed Clarisse can turn into an angry one, and an angry Clarisse is a scary one.

"Anyway, something really weird happened, every mortal around us suddenly fell to the ground, asleep" I said, man that had totally freaked me out.

"What the hell" PJ exclaimed. "And just when I thought it couldn't get any weirder!"

"Oh it always get's weirder" I stated. "So we then realize that Chronos is going to attack Olympus, it's the perfect opportunity because Olympus is defenseless with all the Gods fighting Typhon."

"I really hate Typhon" Mr.D grumbled.

"Your telling me" I said rolling my eyes, gods Typhon was annoying. "So I iris messaged Annabeth and told her to get the whole camp to Manhattan, it was time to prepare for war" I said tensely.

AC's POV

Well that wasn't dramatic at all I thought sarcastically. Honestly I was a bit blown away, all my life I had wanted to get out into the real world but now hearing about the war and what we had to go through, it didn't so good. "We gathered at mount Olympus, the Ares cabin was not there but the hunters where there to help out" Percy said, Thalia started cheering and whooping at that.

"Oh yeah Artemis's hunters to the rescue" she cheered, I laughed it was nice to see Thalia back.

"Yeah, yeah pine-cone face we know the hunters are all powerful, men-dominating, warrior people we've heard it all before" Nico said shaking his head.

"Dam right you have" Thalia yelled proudly, for some reason Grover and Percy burst out laughing at the word 'dam'. From the other demigods looks they had no idea why either.

"Anyway there was one more thing I had to do so that we could win the war" Percy said.

"Yeah which by the way nearly got him killed" future me added humphing.

"I really hope I don't die" PJ muttered from beside me, I rolled my eyes.

"Of course you won't die seaweed brain, your alive in the future". I don't know where the nickname came from but it seemed fitting, he was the son of the sea god and sometimes I felt like his brain was made of seaweed.

"Whatever uh-um... wise girl" PJ said victoriously, I rolled my eyes again was that the best he could come up with?

"That can be considered a compliment you know" I stated, PJ just pouted in an annoying yet kind of cute way, which annoyed me even more why did it have to be cute? Out of the corner of me eye I saw Katie and Piper smirking to each other and looking at PJ and I, I had the urge to ask about it but they probably wouldn't tell me, sometimes them being from the future annoyed me, too many secrets.

"We were out numbered and there was no way the gods could win without someone, Poseidon. The problem was that he was fighting his own war in the sea, he would have to abandon his palace" Percy said. I groaned along with the other campers he would never do that, I doubted any god would, some gods spent decades building their palaces. I needed to get in touch with him so I sat on his throne an-"

"Are you crazy, what where you thinking, do you have a death wish" campers started to yell at him, my mouth was open in shock.

"What is wrong with you" I asked PJ shaking my head, I punched him in the arm.

"What's the big deal?" PJ and Percy asked in unison, I just facepalmed along with my future self.

"So I talked to him and was able to convince him to abandon his palace and help us" I looked at him in shock along with the other campers, he couldn't be serious Percy actually convinced him?! "I got off the throne and I realized that I was smoking... not that it was the first time, I blow up a lot of things" Percy said thoughtfully.

"WE KNOW" The future campers yelled, I laughed. "Please Perce we all know who's really smoking" Leo said flipping his hair, suddenly he was enveloped in flames. I screamed and jumped back in shock along with the other campers, the flames stopped to reveal a perfectly fine Leo, even his clothes where unscathed. I stared at him in shock what the Hades just happened?! Annabeth facepalmed, "he's the son of Hephaestus and he was granted with the power to control fire" she said rolling her eyes at Leo's antics, I nodded my head it did make sense.

"We gathered outside of the empire state building and assigned posts for defense, each post was occupied by either a cabin or group of hunters" Percy said. "I told them that we where the greatest heroes of the millennium, we would fight, fight for Olympus,for our friends, our families, for ourselves, and for the world; we would defend Olympus at all costs" I stared at him in awe. Now I understood, why the campers looked at him for instructions, why they defended him and why we won the war, Percy was a leader. Though not not right now I thought as I glanced at PJ who was looking at his future self with his eyes so wide they looked like they were about to fall out, kind of like a bug I thought grimacing as I started to think about spiders. "But now it was time ,no more planning or preparing, it was time for war, for the Battle of Olympus" Percy said seriously, more serious then I've ever seen him.
