I jolt awake to find myself back on the Yancy school bus. They were heading to the museum again. Yes Perseus Jackson. A dark deep voice calls to me in my head.

Kronos. Titan of Time.

Now is your chance to save the world...again. I wish you luck on your effort. Ananke, the Primordial of Fate, has given you your string so the 'old hags' as you like to call them, can't stop you. Be wary though, as they can still slightly affect others around you. Nyx, Primordial of Night has also blessed you. Good luck Grandson.

I feel my grandfather's (I hate Greek families) presence leave my head as I observe my surroundings.

Grover still has peanut butter in his head from Nancy, the other kids are still fooling around, and the bus driver is still oblivious to it all. I look down at myself and realize that I still have the toned, scarred 18 year old body that I had before I was sent back in time. What was odd though was that no one else seemed to notice the difference in my body. Not even Grover.

Soon, we arrive at the museum and I see Chiron. I walk up to him and slightly increase my aura. He stiffens for a half a second then turns around to see me. His eyebrows furrow at my posture and body.

"Ah, just the centaur I needed to see." I say softly. His eyes widen. "Yes Chiron. I know who you are. I also know what I've been accused of. I also know what happens in the next 7 years. Now, I will be missing for a little bit. I have an..ah...important meeting on Olympus. Have a good day!" I whisper to him. His face shifts from shock...to shock….and just remains at shock. Eyes widened and jaw open.

"I haven't seen that look yet. Looks odd on you Chiron," I laugh. Before he can respond I vapor travel to the Olympus Throne Room and quickly drag the shadows to me. I create a shadowy platform near the roof and hide my presence. The gods are already there. Zeus is currently booming at my father Poseidon.

"Your boy has until the summer solstice to return the bol-" I decide to cut him off here.

"Ah, the youngest son of Kronos is still as hot-headed and arrogant as usual. A shame that the very boy you condemn, is currently in the very throne room he defeated your father in." I bellow, projecting my voice throughout the room.

The gods stiffen and Zeus's eyes narrow.

"Who dares interrupt the Coun-" I cut Zeus off again. "Perseus Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Champion of Nyx, Kronos, Ananke, and Hestia. Retriever of the Master Bolt, Retriever of the Golden Fleece, Holder of the Sky, Ex-Praetor of New Rome, Survivor of Tartarus, Bane of Kronos, the Minotaur, Titans, Gaia, and Gigantes, Twice Savior of Olympus, and Time-traveller, dares interrupt the Council of the Gods!" I bellow. deciding to make an entrance worthy of Zeus.

I drop from the ceiling and focus on my time and earthshaker powers. I slow time while I am falling and do a flip on the way down, uncapping riptide on the way down. When I land I stab it into the throne room floor and cause a magnitude 10 earthquake, dragging shadows to me and forming a miniature shadow tornado around my body. I disperse the shadows and create a suit of armor out of the water in the air. I stand up and glare at Zeus, who is as red as a tomato.

"Sup dad?" I say to my baffled father.

Silence.

"Well...this is new. Usually this place has either, one: Arty and Apollo screaming about who is older, two: Hera berating Zeus on the oath he breaks constantly, three: Ares and Aphrodite doing everything but having sex, or four: my father and uncle arguing about whose domain is better." I quip, showing off my lopsided grin.

"Perseus Jackson, you said I blessed you?" Hestia calls from the hearth. I nod my head and bow to her.

"Indeed Lady Hestia. You blessed me after I restored yours and Hades's spot on the Olympian Council. Speaking of which, where is my bright and definitely not moody uncle of mine?"

Shadows start to form in the throne room and out comes my good ol' Uncle Hades.

"Hey Hades! How's Persephone?" I call out to him, still grinning. Hades's lips twitch at my blatant lack of tact.

"Boy, you speak to me as if you know me. Watch your tongue or I will send Alecto after you. Now, as much as I love seeing my little brother's theatrics, I am curious as to why you are here." He replies, the area around him darkening as shadows gather by him.

I smile sheepishly, "Oh yea, forgot. But I must say I agree with you about Thunder Thighs' theater skills. God of Theater and Dramatic Entrances and Exits." One angry Zeus begins to get up out of his throne and walk towards me. I wait until he's a few yards from me before controlling the shadows in the room to wrap around his legs and arms.

"Unh unh unh. Not yet Thunder Head. You can either sit down and let me save your arrogant ass, or let your father and grandmother destroy the world." I snap at him. He pales slightly at the mention of Kronos and Gaia before stiffly nodding his head. "Continue then boy. I'll decide what to do with you after your so-called "victories"."

I nod and half heartedly bow to him.

"What I am about to tell you will either help me save dozens of your children, and save your own immortal hides from humiliation and pain, or piss you off and make you decide to kill me. Hell, the only person not too terribly affected by the two wars was Lady Demeter. By the way, Katie is an amazing fighter from my time my lady. Your children don't get enough credit. They defended the park from Hyperion and an army of monsters. Truly frightening to see them suffocate their enemies with vines." I say, smiling at her, "also, she forces a lot of people to eat better."

She beams at me and nods her head. "Thank you Perseus."

I groan, "Gods dammit, seven years and I'm still called Perseus. For the millionth time guys, it's Percy!"

My father chuckles a bit at my outburst.

Zeus interrupts my fun as usual and demands me to hurry up with it.

"Ok! Ok! Don't get your toga in a twist. I will tell you on one condition. You do not attack me until I am completely finished with my explanation. Swear on the River Styx that you will agree with my condition."

Zeus studies me for a minute before nodding and swearing on my terms.

"Just before being sent here by your father, I had defeated your grandmother, Gaia, and helped defeat your Gigante banes. After climbing up her body, I cut her lip so I could jump into her mouth and destroy her from the inside. I had riptide in my hand and stuck it in the side of her throat as I slid down it. She died but brought me to Tartarus with her." There are some gasps at this before I continue, "Upon landing, I was met by your dear father. I will be honest and say I was scared shitless. I had defeated him a while before then and I didn't exactly make his assault on Olympus easy," I grimaced as the faces of my fallen friends flashed through my mind. Ares noticed this and I could've sworn I saw some sort of sympathy in his eyes but it was quickly replaced again with the normal nuclear flames, "Imagine my surprise when he says he'll bless me and send me back here to save my friends and family from there deaths. He said he was humbled by his defeat by a 'mere mortal' and had decided to make me his heir. So here I am. Who would like me to tell them about what they go through first?"

Artemis speaks up first, surprisingly. "Tell me first boy."

"Wow Arty! That's not how you treat one of your favorite demigods" I reply with a smile, but seeing the rage on her face and the bow appearing in her hand, I quickly shut up. "Um, yea, anyways, yes. I have no idea what happened to you during my first two quests because I had never met you before. On my third quest, you are sent on a solo hunt to find the Ophiotaurus. Atlas tricks you to take the sky from my best friend Annabeth. When we arrive, I engage Atlas but Ares' curse on me made my sword feel like it was a million pounds. "The titan's curse one must withstand." I took the sky from you and told you to save my friends. You tricked Atlas back under the sky but not before your lieutenant, Zoe Nightshade, had sacrificed herself to save you, jumping in front of her father's spear that was meant for you. She had also been poisoned by Ladon. She didn't tell us and she died because of it. I still feel guilty over her death to this day, her final words play through my head constantly: "You spoke the truth. You are nothing like... like Hercules. I am honored that you carry this sword," She died soon after and I felt...empty. Angry at the unnecessary loss of a great person." I feel tears well up in my eyes but blink them away, shocking the gods in the process.

"Afterwards, you called me a man for the first time. I didn't feel like a man but I knew better than to argue with a man-hating goddess." I say drly. A couple gods nod their heads at this.

Artemis was also tearing up at my story. She nodded slowly before slumping back in her throne.

"Since it's only fair to go from oldest to youngest" I wink at Artemis before turning to Apollo, "you are next up Apollo!"

"Hey! I'm older dammit!" He whines.

Artemis sticks her tongue out before launching an arrow beside his head, effectively shutting him up.

"In all honesty Fred, I believe you had the worst of luck," I grimaced again, as memories flashed through my head, "half of your kids gave their lives defending Olympus from Kronos, Hyperion, and so many monsters. Lee Fletcher being the first that pops into my head." My voice cracks at the mention of my deceased friend. "I led forty demigods into battle against two titans, thousands of monsters, and almost Typhon. Half of us survived that fight." I shuddered, holding back tears. "Later, Octavian, your Roman legacy, decided to fuck with a quest to stop Gaia and ended up almost starting a war between the two camps. Yes I know of the camps. Luckily, I was able to help the Greek warship escape after Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, was possessed by a spirit sent by Gaia and opened fire on New Rome. Despite me being Praetor, which honestly I didn't want as I had been there for two days, without any memories, I couldn't stop the romans from becoming angered, being goaded into attacking by Octavian. If you are wondering why I didn't want the position of Praetor, apparently I'm too modest about my achievements. Trust me, they aren't achievements and I would gladly trade them for even one of the brave heroes who fell, fighting against tyrannical enemies." I ended, a pained look on my face. I looked over to Apollo to see him slumped even further than Artemis was, sobbing into his arms as Hestia hugged him, whispering comforting words.

"I am here to prevent all of this if I can. I don't want to lose anymore of my friends. You want the lightning bolt? Get Luke Castellan up here and detain Ares." Next thing you know, Ares is blasted out of his seat by Poseidon, no doubt mad that Ares was framing him for the theft. Hephaestus snapped his fingers and soon celestial bronze and Olympian steel cuffs appeared on Ares's hands and legs.

Hermes disappeared before returning with a pale Luke. Zeus pounced at the son of Hermes, ready to kill him, before I jumped in front of him with riptide at the ready, holding the blade against Zeus's throat.

"No Zeus. You shall not harm Luke. He was the one to kill Kronos in the end. This is partially your fault as well. Do you know just how many demigods left to Kronos's side because you didn't care for them? Almost ¾ of Camp Half-Blood fought against us. I have killed far too many monsters and demigods alike in my seven years of being in the Greek world." I snarled, shocking everyone in the room.

I flashed Zeus back to his throne before he did something foolish. I drew Kronos's scythe, causing the gods to hiss in surprise. I whirled around and held the blade at Luke's throat.

"Confess, and I will spare you Luke, I would've killed you if it wasn't for Thalia and Annabeth stopping me, luckily you saved the world. Now confess, or I will have no choice but to end you." I said in a deadly, yet calm voice, causing half the gods to shiver at the threat. Luke looked at his father, who nodded at him with a bright smile. Luke swallowed thickly.

"Yes, I did steal the bolt. I was angry at the gods for ignoring us, ending up with Cabin 11 having almost no room for the newcomers since everyone who isn't claimed is stuck in there. Kronos came to me in my dreams, promising me revenge for what happened to Thalia, Annie, and I on the streets before reaching camp." He said softly.

"Thank you my friend." I reply, lowering my blade and flashing it back into a tattoo of a silver and black scythe piercing through a golden eye on my forearm.

"Now, we must prepare the camp for war. Thalia's tree was poisoned after this quest in my timeline, which required us to search for the Golden Fleece to heal it. It brought Thalia back alive too. Can someone please bring the following people here? Zoë Nightshade, Heracles, Charles Beckendorf, Lee Fletcher, Annabeth Chase, the Stoll brothers, Jason Grace, Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, Nico Di Angelo, Bianca Di Angelo, Clarisse La Rue, and Katie Gardner, and Ethan Nakuramu."

The gods glanced at each other, before nodding at me. Soon, fourteen flashes appeared in the room, revealing all my confused friends, except for Heracles of course. I glanced at Zoë with a sad look before turning to the gods. "If you could please give these demigods the memories of the past hour and a half?" Hera nodded, standing up. "Oh, but before you do that," I started, standing up before walking over to Heracles, increasing my aura to the maximum, causing even Zeus to inch away from me. "This is for Zoë!" I yelled before slicing Riptide across his neck, lopping his head off, all in the matter of a second. He won't be around for a couple decades now.

Everyone was shocked at the aura I had, before the throne room erupted into shouts of anger, disbelief, and relief.

I focused on my father's powers, stabbing riptide into the floor and causing a massive earthquake, knocking the demigods onto the floor.

"ENOUGH!" I yelled, tired of their childish arguments. "Heracles fate has been decided by me and he was found guilty. He has raped so many women, cheated on almost all of his Labors, and has been a thorn in my side for years. He is a coward, a nuisance, and a fool. He shall remain in Tartarus for a while, hopefully he'll be different when he returns." I said very calmly.

Zoë stepped forward, "Why does thou have my blade, boy?" She hissed. I sighed before gesturing to Hera, who nodded and snapped her fingers. I added my time powers to hers, causing not only the memories of the past two hours, but the ones of my timeline as well.

The demigods fell down. Unconscious while reviewing the memories they were given. I summoned some mist into the air before pulling out a drachma.

"O Iris, show me the memories these demigods are watching please." I said. Fourteen screens appeared out of thin air, showing the events of the several quests and wars we had all been through. After about thirty minutes, the demigods stirred, whipping their heads around before finding me and running to me.

"PERCY!" They all yelled, tackling me to the ground in a group hug. "Hey, get off ya big oafs, I don't got the curse anymore you know!" They all laughed before standing up. Zoë walked up to me nervously, staring at her feet. I pulled her into a hug, causing Artemis to leap to her feet, until she saw Zoë start crying in my arms, gripping my like a life-line. I comforted her, telling her she is fine and safe now, and I wouldn't let her die on me this time.

We pulled apart, tears staining both of our faces. We both chuckled at the other before turning to the gods. I froze when Zoë stood on her toes and kissed me in front of everyone. Shit. There goes my thoughts of not living as a jackalope. I had secretly had a crush on Zoë at the end of the quest with her but I never acted upon it out of fear of losing an important male part. I wrapped my arms around her waist, kissing back before she pulled away from me. I cleared my throat.

"Umm...so yea, I introduce to you: the Saviors of the World." I called out, face beet red. My friends just started at me in shock before they erupted into laughter.

"Only you could make a hunter fall in love with you Percy!" Nico called out between laughs.

"Oi! Shut it Death breath, or so help me I'll sic Thalia on you when we revive her." That shut him up very quickly.

I turned back to the gods. "Now, we need to plan for war. Kronos said since I was his heir that Kronos from this time has faded." This brought many gasps from the gods and demigods alike. "Don't get your hopes up. We have a worse enemy this time," I said gravely, before hissing out a name that sent shivers through everyone's body.

"The Primordial Erebus, Personification of Darkness."
