Percy's POV

In the anger that I had been experiencing since Malcom's fall, I had set up and prepared an army to overthrow the Olympians. A few demigods had tried to be like Malcom and assassinate me, but they had been killed before they could get to fortress. My defenses had been quadrupled, and my offences had expanded by at least another 100,000 monsters in the last week and a half. Nico, the Stolls, Leo, and Will had asked to be of use and command the armies, and I willingly agreed. The many volcanoes surrounding my fortress were constantly erupting, and I was fine with that. Currently, I was pacing around my bedroom and thinking of how to end the war quicker. Suddenly, the door opened. A small monster walked in with a fearful look on its face. "M-my lord, are you ready to attack Olympus?" It asked hesitantly. "Yes, I believe I am. Now go and tell Nico that he will lead the majority of my forces," I replied. "O-Ok," It replied whilst running as fast as it could out of my room. I pondered whether to stay safely in my fortress, or to get out and kill some demigods. After a moment of thinking, I decided that I would join and lead the entire army with my highest-in-rank servants leading as commanders. I got my black armor on and went down the stairs. My army was already set up and in formation when I arrived at the bottom of the stairs. I put each of the monsters and dark demigods on the winged monsters, and they all flew away.

Annabeth's POV

 I was eating breakfast when the storm arrived. I thought I could just eat a bowl of Cheerios with no problem, and I was wrong. As I sat down and ate, I thought of my past relations with the dark lord. I also remembered that he had been vulnerable to Bianca's insults, and that may prove useful in battle. Just then lightning struck one of the high towers of Olympus. I wasn't to disturbed until I realized that Zeus was still dead. I shouted franticly and ran  to the throne room to see a group of demigods admiring the dark cloud in the distance.

I gasped, for that was by far the biggest storm I had ever seen. It was a storm bigger than anything that Zeus could muster. Slowly all of the beautiful surrounding city of Manhattan went dark. Lightning again struck another tower on Olympus. "What is going on?" I asked a nearby demigod. "Dunno," The demigod replies in awe. Suddenly, a giant humanoid shape appeared in the clouds. Typhon had arrived with an army powerful enough to rid the world of the primordial gods themselves. The dark lord himself had already ridden out of the clouds whilst riding the accursed Pegasus Blackjack. The huge cumulonimbus cloud then passed over us, and hard rain began to fall. Us demigods rushed to get ready, and we arrived back to see the dark lord sitting in a chair drinking coffee. "Could y'all go a bit faster? It's getting boring here," He politely asked with a hint of sarcasm. An idiotic 11-year-old son of Apollo shot his arrow at Perseus and hit Blackjack in the eye, killing the Pegasus immediately. "Oh, we are fighting now. Sorry, I must not have noticed," The dark lord said when he looked up from his coffee. Then he saw Blackjack's corpse. "NO!!! I WILL END EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!" He screamed in despair. Perseus turned his eyes to the kid who had shot the arrow. He unsheathed his sword and ripped through the demigod's neck. With a mad look on his face, he killed another demigod. The army of the dark lord took this as a sign to charge. Perseus remained on a rampage. Demigods he himself once knew were falling at his hand, and Perseus gave them no mercy. I knew that my doom was drawing near, so I charged at Perseus. He accepted my challenge and jabbed at me. The dark lord hit me with the flat of his blade, and I went flying off of Olympus. Poseidon saved me from certain death, luckily. The last thing I saw before blacking out in the very waves of Poseidon, was the malicious grin of Perseus looking down upon me.

Percy's POV

I was incredibly mad. They had betrayed me, Bianca had betrayed me, and the dam demigods killed my Pegasus. I mean, how much better could my life get? Anyways, at the moment I was hacking and jabbing at other demigods. One by one demigods fell at my hands, and no mercy they received. An arrow hit me in the shoulder eventually, and a sword was stabbed unto my leg. I couldn't keep fighting, and I was knocked out with a punch to the face.

Time Skip

I awoke in a strange room. I figured that I was in Olympus, and that I was going to be executed for my crimes. The idiots hadn't even bothered to chain me; Therefore I simply left Olympus entirely. Of course, I met some other demigods in the halls, but I just told them to attack their friends. They did as I said. I returned to my fortress with a flash, and I began to think about the Olympian's faces when they find out I'm not there.
