AN: Hello everyone. So for those of you who read my original story, the Story of Percy Jackson, this is the rewrite. There will be a number of changes to the story but it will be overall the same. I hope you all enjoy and review.

Now onto the story!

Prologue

Percy's POV

I wander through the empty bridge of my new ship. A Halberd-class destroyer known as the Redemption.

I stop and lean on the railing, gazing out of the viewport. Dozens of men in EVA thruster packs fly out of a space station and begin welding the final few plates of Titanium A armor on the ship.

Pretty soon she'll be rolling out of the docks.

With a I look at the endless blackness of space. After a few minutes I feel a hand being placed on my shoulder. "Penny for your thoughts." A calm voice says behind me.

I sigh and look at Admiral Matheus Drake. "Well I was just thinking, of how I ended up here. From some kid in a quiet inner-colony, to an Insurrectionist supplying rebels with weapons to fight the people I once served with."

"Drake nods. "I know how you feel. I was once also part of the UNSC. I served in their navy for years, watching us slowly get beaten back by the Covenant. Saw all the choices our leaders were willing to make, even the more questionable ones."

"I know. It's just that I spent almost my entire childhood training to fight for them, believing that one day I could help people like me who lost everything."

He eyes me curiously. "You've never actually spoken about your childhood. Would you like to share a bit?"

I shrug. "Sure, but it's kind off a long story."

He pulls out a chair and sits down. "We've got time."

I pull out another chair and sit in front of him. "Alright. So it started about 14 years ago on the colony Acropolis."

I wake up to the sounds of klaxons blaring in the distance. My green eyes shoot open and scan the room.

My mom rushes in and looks at me. "Wake you're sister. We're leaving now." She runs to my dresser and rips some clothes out at random before throwing it to me.

I rub my eyes groggily. "Where are we going? Whats happening?"

She gives me an irritated look. "Just get dressed!" She runs out before I could say anything.

I sigh and shake at another lump on the bed. It squirms around a bit, and soon I'm meet with a pair of sea green eyes identical to my own. "Whats wrong Percy?"

I shove her clothes in her hands. "Mom says to get dressed. She seemed to be in a hurry."

She nods and heads to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

I strip off my pajamas and slip onto my jeans and a blue T-shirt. I quickly grabs some socks and sneakers and tug them on.

A minute later Persephone comes out in a white dress. She kneels down and begins putting her shoes on.

"Mom we're done!" I shout. She comes in and grabs me and Persephone as soon as she has her sneakers tied.

She pulls us down the stair of our house. "Daddy's already in the car." She says, and frags us to the garage.

Me and my sister pile into the back while my mom jumps to the passenger seat. Our step dad Paul hits the accelerate before the garage door even fully opens, leaving a large hole on the door.

He drives through the crowded streets off our neighborhood. I'm surprised to see so many people up this late.

"Seems like the whole neighborhood's awake." Persephone whispers to me.

Paul drums his fingers on the steering wheel nervously while mom keeps glancing at the sides and backs as if she's expecting someone.

She turns on the radio but receives only static.

My parents exchange nervous glances until Paul places his hand reassuringly on my mom.

"What do you thinks going on?" Persephone asks.

"Dunno." I shrug.

No one says anything throughout the whole trip, anytime someone hears a noise my parents jump back and look around.

Finally the car pulls to a stop somewhere. I head out and find myself looking up and up at the giant spire that moves through the sky.

My parents head out and carry Persephone to it. "Percy come on, the evacuation ships are coming!"

Outside the spire are hundreds of other people in a large crowd.

Several men and women in drab olive fatigues set up barricades in front of them. The leader places his pistol back in it's holster and raises his arms to the crowd. "Everyone! The evacuation ships will be here shortly. Please remain calm."

This causes another of angry outbursts from the crowd.

"The Covenant are about to glass this city, and you want us to remain calm?" One shouts.

"Your job is to protect us!" Another cries.

"We need to get out of here!" A third adds.

I glance at Persephone, who's face has gone pale.

Like many, we've heard of the rumors of how theres an alien race trying to wipe us out, but both of us thought it would take years for them to find Acropolis.

Now thousands are here trying to escape the Covenant.

The soldier places a hand on the side of his helmet and taps it a few times. "Understood." He finally says, turning to us all. "Evacuation ships have arrived.

The militia parts ways as people by the hundreds stream through the now open doors of the Orbital Elevator.

Once a certain number of people have entered, the doors close and the militiamen get back to their positions.

Just as things begin to calm down, a loud blast is heard in the distance. I spare a glance back to see what is happening. A purple beam streaks through the sky.

It burns through what used to be our home and keeps moving through what used to be our neighborhood.

Many scream in panic while a few move over the barricades, only to be driven back by gunshots fired in the air by the militiamen.

This holds them back for a while, but more are gathering and trying again.

The militia train their weapons on the crowd. "Stay back!" The leader warns.

Many shout angrily, cursing and waving their fists. "Your supposed to be protecting us!" Several shout.

Before anyone can make another move, the doors of the Orbital Elevator open up. The crowd rushes past the surprised soldiers.

My mom grabs my arm and leads me inside followed by Paul and Persephone. Some of the militia even break away and join us.

The door closes behind us and the elevator begins it's ascent. With every minute in here the tension rolls off my back. The Covenant won't get us, we're going to escape.

I look at Persephone who's nervously fiddling her fingers. She gives me a small smile.

Finally the elevator stops at the station. I stare in awe at the space station. The massive metal hanger is huge, it could easily hold up to six football fields.

One army trooper waves around glowing those lights tarmacs officers use. "This way everyone!" He shouts, directing us with his lights. "The evacuation ship will be arriving here!"

I glance around at the crowd. Many have nothing with but the smallest personal possessions. Some look like they didn't have time to dress.

I feel a moment of sympathy for them as the ship arrives.

Many watch with relief as the ship begins to dock. Just as it enters however, a plasma round strikes the ships engine.

The evacuation ship shudders and lurches to one side. The crowd screams and backs away. It spirals out of control and crashes into the ground.

Many look at the smoldering wreckage in horror, a few begin crying. Any hope that was there was now dashed to the ground.

"Everyone get back!" A militia member and some army troopers run up and try to put out the fires.

"Where did those shots come from?" One asks quietly.

An army trooper looks and gasps. "There!" He points at two Covenant ships entering.

The soldiers scramble for their guns as the bay doors begin to open.

Dozens of those little stubby aliens run out followed by some bird looking ones and finally the hulking squid faced ones.

"Run!" The militiaman shouts at us, firing his pistol at the aliens.

The crowd surges away from the fighting, scattering and desperately looking for somewhere to hide or a way to escape. Those too slow are quickly shot down by blobs of plasma.

I do my best to keep up with my parents and Persephone, but my legs feel like wood. "Percy come on!" My mom shouts encouragements at me. "You can make-"

Her eyes go wide as a purple needle embeds itself into her chest. Her limp body falls to the ground.

I wanted to scream but no sound comes out. Instead I run to her. Persephone appears beside me and lets out a pained sob.

"We need to go." Paul insists, hoisting my moms body on his back.

We all take cover behind a bulkhead. I glance back to see whats happening. Many of the smaller aliens are dead on the ground, but those big squid headed ones are easily holding their own. Dozens of militia and army troopers lay on the floor around them.

The few troopers back away to where we are.

The alien leader, a white armored squid head, pulls out a strange barbel shaped device. He flicks it and a beam of energy ignites around it.

In a blur of motion he sprints forward, swinging his sword.

He slashes clean through one militias neck. Another fires his rifle at him, the alien ducks and disembowls him. A third has her neck snapped by him. The other troopers a swiftly gunned down by the other aliens.

The last surviving army trooper backs away, firing his shotgun at them. "Come on, I got enough ammunition for all of you!" He shouts, dodging their shoots.

"Is that a weapon or a flashlight. Oh shit!" He shouts as a bolt hits him square on the chest.

The white armored alien steps on his chest, leveling his rifle at his head before firing. He kicks the body aside and turns to the others. He growls in his own language and the others scatter.

Several soon come back dragging the other people who were hiding.

The aliens all turn to eagerly face their leader who simply raises his arm in the air. The grab hold of their human prisoners and aim their weapons at them.

The white armored alien seems to grin and brings his arm down.

At once all the others execute their prisoners.

Persephone lets out a loud and short gasp before covering her mouth.

One of the large aliens, though not the white armored one turns his head and bares it's fangs. It pulls out it's gun and approaches.

Paul presses his back against the bulkhead and closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath as if trying to calm himself down before opening his eyes again.

He kneels down and kisses both my and Persephone in the forehead. "I want you both to know, I love both of you."

With that, he runs out of the safety of the bulkhead and waves his arms at the alien.

It growls and fires it's weapon. Paul dodges and moves away from us, scooping up a rifle from a dead militiaman.

He fires a few burst of bullets at the alien. His foe roars loudly, attracting the attention of the other aliens.

They all move towards Paul, though none are in range to fire. Yet.

Paul simply holds down the trigger and fires wildly, dropping two of the buzzard headed aliens.

Seconds later the rifle stops firing. One of the aliens raises it's own gun and fires repeatedly at him.

His lifeless body crumples to the ground.

I glance at Persephone who's eyes are shinning and glittering with tears. I gingerly wrap my arms around her as she just breaks down.

A strong hand suddenly yanks me away from her. I turn and come face to face with the white armored alien.

It's expression is cold and unfeeling, though his eyes seem to have a hint of pity in them.

It hauls me to the other warriors while one of his aliens holds down a screaming Persephone. I thrash and kick around before he roughly drops me on the ground.

It moves in front of me and draws it's sword. This causes me to thrash even more.

The alien places it's hand on me again, but in a surprisingly gentle way. I glance up and his gaze tells me everything. 'Do not fight. It will be over soon.'

I cease my struggling and meet his stare.

He aims his sword at my throat. The only thing I hear is my sisters wailing beside me.

The alien brings his sword down-

and stops halfway upon hearing a loud 'thump' coming from the door.

The white armored alien looks back and points his sword at the door.

The other aliens move and train their weapons at the door. Something bangs at it again on the door, dents begins to form.

The third time the door breaks open and no fewer than seven figures charge in.

Six are heavily armed marines and the last one is the largest creature I have ever seen.

Fully clad in green armor and easily as tall as the white armored alien. All open fire at the aliens with their assault rifles.

Taking this chance I climb to my feet and begin running. I stop to grab Persephone from a distracted guard who's firing his rifle at the oncoming targets.

The warrior makes a halfhearted attempt to grab us, but he's too distracted in the fight

Suddenly the aliens find themselves overwhelmed and begin dropping like flies.

The white armored alien snarls and leaps forward and attacks the giant.

The giant backpedals as the warrior swings it's sword at him.

He raises his assault rifle and open fires. The alien raises his sword and uses it as a shied from his attacks.

He pulls his sword back and swings at the giant. The giant jerks his head to the side and the sword narrowly misses the side of his head.

The giant hands surge forward and grabs the alien by the neck before twisting is quickly. The aliens necks snaps and his body falls limply into the ground.

The giant notices us and approaches us. The two of us back away further, pressing our backs against the wall.

He kneels down in front of us and offer his hand. "It alright. We're here to help."

Persephone gently nudges me forward. Reluctantly I take his hand and follow him with my sister close behind.

The giant holds a finger to the side of his helmet. "This is Spartan-117. We have recovered two survivors. Requesting evacuation."

"Copy that master chief." A voice flares from his helmet.

A few minutes later, a sleek olive green military gunship enters the hanger. Everyone piles onboard the gunships bay and it takes off.
