A broken hero

The Giant war was raging. Around Percy every one of his friends was battling either monsters or Giants. They were on the original Mt Olympus, it was slowly snowing and the pure white snow cover on the ground was tainting itself red and gold as blood, ichor and monster dust was being spread on the floor.

Percy was panting, he has been battling for the last three hours, destroying a large amount of monsters as he was trying to go to the ultimate top of the mountain where the king of the Giants Porphyrion was preparing the ancient ritual to wake Gaea.

As he was recuperating, a Giant made his way to him, it was Leon, he sighed and took a battle stance. As soon as Leon was in reach, Percy lunged and began to attack the Lion-headed Giant with a fast series of slashes. He was tired, not physically, not mentally, no, he was tired of something else. Tired of war and battles.

After ten minutes of Percy dodging every single blows of the Giant and slashing in his flesh, Percy jumped and pierced Leon's head making him fall on the ground.

"I need a god to kill Leon!" Yelled Percy. And Apollo appeared in a flash next to him. He looked at Leon and made a long whistle.

"He might have suffered. Remind me to never go on your bad side okay?" Percy let a lopsided grin appear on his lips and nodded. Apollo notched an arrow and released it in the heart of Leon. Making him dissolve in dust. The sun god then looked at Percy.

"Okay champion, let's go fight the giant king." Said Apollo with a smile. Percy's lopsided grin transformed in a feral one.

"Alright Golden boy, let's go!" And he ran fast, faster than he ever ran. He avoided every monsters, jumping above or sliding under them, never stopping his charge. After ten minutes of running. He arrived where he wanted, in the back of Porphyrion.

The said Giant seemed to feel Percy's presence and turned around looking at the son of the Sea with murderous eyes.

"So, this is the demigod who is making trouble to Mother? I was expecting someone more…. Taller… or stronger…. At least looking like a hero." Said Porphyrion with a condescending smile. Percy only smirked.

"You know, I don't care what you're thinking. At least, I was able to have victory once. Unlike you. A bit more than a year ago, I fought you're half-brother, Kronos, the Titan Lord of Time. Nice guy. Never late, but lack a bit of manner I think. Now, let's see if you are worthy of your title of Giant King." Cheekily answered Percy before jumping to Porphyrion and engaging battle with him. After ten minutes of battling, Percy began to lose ground. Until a golden arrow embedded itself in Porphyrion's shoulder. The son of Poseidon used this moment of rest to look around. Only a few gods were in fact on the battle field. Mars, who couldn't resist a fight, was against a huge battalion of monsters along with his greeks and roman children.

Poseidon, having his Giant destroyed by Percy, was battling Clythios. Hermes was fighting Hippolytus with some difficulties. Until a group of Apollo campers came to help him. He also saw Artemis and her hunters, Hades and, strangely Hestia on the battle field who was launching fireballs and healing everyone she could.

He concentrated on his battle once again and ran to Porphyrion who launched a lightning bolt to him. He barely avoided it and resumed his charge. After escaping a few more blow from the Giant, Percy plunged Riptide in his opponent's knee, making him fall before spinning and embedding in his heart at the same time as Apollo released another arrow.

But before dissolving, the Giant King pierced Percy's leg ad blood began to drop on the shrine. Apollo began to heal the wound but unknown to them, the shrine began to crack. And soon, it exploded, making the two fighters fly away.

The two stood up shakily and looked at what, or who was standing at the shrine's place.

A woman, of 11 feet tall, with a brown skin and hair. Her mere presence was making Percy feels weak. In his hand, Riptide was slightly shaking. Apollo saw that and posed a hand on his shoulder.

"What is it pal?" Percy looked at him.

"It's the same feeling, the mere presence of a primordial, I can feel her power pulsing out of her body. Like when I met Tartarus, the only fight I was afraid of, and it happen to me again, but I can't, it's completely different. I have to…" But he was cut by Apollo.

"It's okay to be scared Perce. Everyone is scared of something, and if the first thing you were afraid of was of Tartarus, then you are the most courageous of us all, gods included. I'm scarred too Percy. But you have you friends behind you, and you have your strength. You can do it. Right?" Percy looked in Apollo's eyes and saw in them fear, but also determination, and pride.

"Yeah, I can totally do it." Said Percy.

"So Perseus Jackson, are you ready to kick the third most powerful being in existence?" Roared Apollo. Percy laughed, loudly before answering.

"If Annabeth can trick the second one, then I totally can destroy the third one!" Roared back Percy. And every one cheered. For the first time, he noticed his friends and the present gods around them. He smiled and ran to Mother Earth ignoring the pain in his leg. When he arrived before her he stood tall.

"Hello Gaea. It's a pleasure to meet another member of my family." Said Percy. And to his surprise, she answered politely.

"Hello Perseus. It's a pleasure to meet you too. I was impressed of your accomplishments even if it pissed me off." Percy nodded to her, marking he was pleased of the compliment.

"I have to admit Gaea, you are far more civil that your brother, the Pit. You also seem like a honorable fighter. It's an honor to fight you." He bowed a bit and Gaea bowed back. And they ran to each other, soon, they were reduced at blurs, flashings and clashing metal sounds. Artemis fired an arrow at Gaea but it was deflected, by Anaklusmos. Percy looked behind his shoulder and everyone saw his dark green eyes.

"Gaea is a honorable sword fighter. So am I. No one intervene. It's a dual." His voice had changed, it was deeper, calm and steely. No one dared to contest.

"Let's see how you endure my power Gaea. After all, I am the son of the mighty Earth Shaker!" And Percy stomped the ground, creating one of his strongest earthquake. Gaea roared in pain and panted. Poseidon gained a look of pride as he saw his son capable of creating such a strong earthquake in his tired state.

"You are strong son of Poseidon. Really strong." And the battle resumed. Suddenly, Percy was kicked away. He flew for a bit before hitting a rock at terminal velocity.

"It's finished. No one can endure this." Stated Gaea. But before anyone could run to Percy. A laugh was heard. It was Nico.

"You really are foolish to think it would stop Percy. After all, he took a bath in the Lethe but came out with his memories, and his power was enough to free Typhon." And as he finished his sentence. Everyone saw a figure standing up in the dust. It was Percy. He had important injuries on his limbs and face. But he was standing up.

"Impossible." Whispered Gaea. "Even an immortal would die from that." Percy let out a weak laugh.

"I am specialized in making the impossible. And I am disappointed in myself. I have a reputation and you are dirtying it Grams" Said Percy with a sigh.

"A reputation?"

"Yeah, I have the reputation to be able to piss off every single immortal I see. And you Gaea are the only one I could not piss off. I am sad." This made her mad.

"You are standing up and fighting me and you dare joke while we fight!" Roared the Primordial. Nico smiled.

"And record beaten. Another point for Perseus Jackson. You reputation is safe now." Percy smiled.

"So I can finish this, according to my way of fighting. Until death if I have to." This made everyone stop, even Gaea. Nico sadly smiled at him before nodding.

"If it's the case. I'll see if we can directly put you in the Isles of the Blessed." Stated Nico with tears in his voice. But Percy shook his head as a tear ran down his cheek.

"Nah, I'll choose rebirth. Who will save the world if I stay down there?" Said Percy with a small smile. His friends chuckled a bit. And he looked at Annabeth.

"I am going to do something stupid. You know that right?" Annabeth only nodded. She kissed him on the lips softly and gave him her bone sword.

"You always do that." And Percy ran, he resumed battle, with more strength than before. He was fast, swift, strong and deadly, using the two swords to fight, mixing greek and roman style. Gaea was barely avoiding the blows. Then, she saw his eyes. She could see his determination, his love, his strength, and she knew she couldn't win. Suddenly, she felt a blade piercing her chest and saw the hilt of Riptide touching her body. She looked at Percy dead in the eyes and everyone heard a rumble in the sky before a lightning shot Percy and travel through his sword in Gaea.

"I am glad I was defeated by a hero like you Perseus Jackson." Said the Earth before dissolving into dust. And Percy's vision went black.
