I am sorry for the delay writers blocked kicked my butt.

It had been a year and a half since Thetis was born. Zoe could now talk and her first words were mommy which happened when Artemis was holding her. It caused Artemis to cry happy tears when that happened. Her next words a few days later were daddy. She was almost three at the time. Thetis had started to walk and already she was starting to show the intelligence that she would inherit form her mother. She loved to be read to at night no matter what it was. Zoe she loved to be read to but she rather be outside in the forest or with nature. Zoe was also a great big sister for Thetis.

Scarlet and Lily their relationship was stronger than ever. How strong you ask it was so strong that with their parent's blessings they underwent the marriage ritual to bond themselves as wives and mates. They had yet to make love yet so Lily was not marked yet. The reason being both felt they were too young to do that. However, they did sleep in the same bed and cuddle with each other at night. Lily had become a fourth daughter to Percy, Artemis and Athena also a fourth granddaughter for Sally.

Percy was in his training ground he had mastered the bow and the spear by this point. He had a 70 percent mastery of a knife. That is what he was working on. His mastery over lighting and water and ice were complete. He was nervous about something.

Things have felt off the last few weeks and it had him nervous. Things had been wonderful for him the last few years and that worried him since nothing ever stayed good for him. Norm walked in to the training room.

"Brother I bring news you will not like." Norm said.

"Say it please." Percy said.

"Monsters are gathering." Norm said.

"I am guessing this is bad since monsters gather all the time." Percy said and Norm nods his head.

"They are under the banner of Hercules." Norm said. Percy was at first shocked but the shock turned to anger.

"He is trying to take the throne from you." Norm said. Percy was mad but he took a deep breath. He guessed there was more. He could feel it. He also knew that Norm was holding back.

"Norm just tell me please." Percy said and Norm sighed.

"Hercules has promised to rape your wives and when your daughters are old enough he will do it to them. He also wants to keep you alive to force you to watch." Norm said. Percy was holding his anger in.

"There is more I am afraid. He has monsters that are in the waiting to kidnap your young daughters." Norm said.

"Thanks Norm you know what to do." Percy said.

Percy was rocking Zoe and Thetis in his rocking chair. He had one in each arm. Both were cuddled up to their father and both were asleep. They had been asleep for about an hour. Percy normally would have put them in their crib or bed by now. However, he did not want to let them go and did not want to go to bed. It was not because he had a fight with his wives or anything like that.

He was worried about something. Athena and Artemis came into their daughter's room and saw their husband holding them very close to him. Both knew their husband and by now and both knew he was not one hundred percent at this point something was troubling him. Percy for a side note had not told his wives what Norm told him yet.

Athena and Artemis took their daughters and placed them into the cribs. They then dragged Percy to their room. Percy then told them everything that Norm told him. It made both enraged not only for the fact that someone was threating to rape them but they daughters as well.

"I am also worried I do not want anyone to hurt Thetis and Zoe or you guys." Percy said.

"I understand we will be with you." Artemis said.

"We will fight and destroy him if anyone harms are children." Athena said.

A few days later Annabeth was with her sisters. They were having a camp out. Percy, Athena and Artemis were at a summit of world leaders in the mortal world leaders so they asked Annabeth to watch Zoe and Thetis for them. Neither wanted to leave their daughters alone but they had to. Scarlet and Lily were on a training date. It was a date where they trained, had dinner and cuddled with each other under the moon light.

Annabeth noticed that Thetis and Zoe had wondered off. This had her worried and scared. She started to track them and she found them in a matter of minutes thankfully. However, she had to dodge an arrow that was shot at her. She dodged another and picked up Zoe and Thetis and started to run back to the camp with the girls in her arms.

She thought she was going to make it to safety. Sadly that was not going to the be the case. She felt an arrow hit her in the leg. She fell to the ground in a massive amount of pain. Thetis and Zoe fell out of her arms. They knew something was up so they went to hide behind a tree.

Annabeth stood up and drew her knives and got into her attack stance. She saw that in front of her was a division of monsters and leading them in the front of them was Hercules. Annabeth knew what he was doing here and it was not good for her.

"Give me the children and I will let you live." Hercules told her.

"I know intelligence is not your strong suit but do you honestly thing I will let you have my nieces?" Annabeth asked.

"So is that a yes or a no." Hercules asked her. Even his monster division deadpanned at this question. Even Zoe and Thetis deadpanned at this question.

"If you want them you will have to kill me." Annabeth said. Hercules ordered his monsters to attack. Annabeth dodged one and stabbed him and he broke into dust. Annabeth did the same to the other two monsters. She could not move fast or jump at all. Her leg was damaged too much. This however did not mean she was unable to fight.

"Zoe, take Thetis and run back to the camp. Forget about me and run." Annabeth shouted. Zoe did not want to leave her aunt but she knew she needed to protect her little sister. So she grabbed Thetis's hand and ran. Monsters moved into the tree but Annabeth blocked them and killed the three that made it to the edge of the tree line.

She pulled out a capsule and threw it at the trees. A wall of fire was erected in front of the tree lines and three more monsters were killed having run into the wall of fire. She smirked at the look of rage on Hercules's face.

"You will die now." Hercules said.

"Maybe I will." Annabeth said.

"Why do you act that way you are going to die." Hercules.

"I do not fear death. I will protect the little ones even if I must die to do it. I will not let my friends, my family down." More monsters charged Annabeth and with her speed and skill she slaughtered all that were sent at her. However, she was getting tried and she was not able to dodge the strike that came from Hercules. She was hit hard in the stomach and she felt her ribs breaking. She stabbed Hercules and he jumped back.

Five more monsters charged her and she killed one, dodged and kill another and dodged once more and killed the third. The fourth and the fifth were able to land a blow on her and she had three long claw marks on her back and one on her chest. Using her knives, she was able kill both of them but she was in bad shape very bad shape.

Hercules had only ten monsters left right now. Annabeth had killed 40 more monsters. It was an awesome feat. She was bleeding badly and she had six broken ribs, and one broken leg. It was not good. If she lived she would need to spend quite some time healing. The remaining monsters all drew bows and started to fire arrows at her. She was able to deflect them with her knives.

One monster with quick speed dropped its bow and quickly charged her. Annabeth picked up three of the arrows that had fallen near her and quickly threw them at the charging monster and it turned to dust having been killed. The count was nine left alive.

Hercules figured enough was enough and he charged himself with his sword that he drew. He in mid charge jumped in the air and attempted and downward swing on her. She blocked the deadly blow with her knifes but her arms were bruised badly very badly. Using her other leg, the one that was not broken she kicked Hercules hard in the crotch. Hercules may have been a God but that still hurt. Annabeth took her knife and stabbed him in the left shoulder and then the right shoulder. She then ripped her knives out of his shoulders and moved back after giving him a kick.

The remaining monsters charged her and there were too many of them. She was bitten and stabbed and she fell to the ground. The fire blocking the way stopped burning opening the path up. The fire was a version of the legendary Greek fire. However, it was connected to the user's life force. In this case it was connected to Annabeth's life force. Since she was close to death the fire was starting to go out.

Annabeth had been able to kill all but three of the monsters that attacked her. So only three were left alive. Using what little strength she had she flung both her knives and killed two more monsters. She then collapsed to the ground. She was still alive but barely. So she was not only alive but awake enough to know that after a few seconds the remaining monster had returned with Thetis and Zoe knocked out in its arms.

It handed them to Hercules. Annabeth reached out with her hands and her knives returned to her. She had them specially made a few years ago to return to her when every she wanted them to. (Yes I know what you are thinking but it could work in this series.) With the last of her strength she picked up her knives and threw them at the monster and Hercules. The monster was killed and Hercules was injured once more. He took his blade waked over to Annabeth and stabbed her with it. He then teleported out.

A few moments later Percy, and Athena teleported in to see the devastation that was caused. Artemis was with her hunters fighting back three divisions of monsters. That is why the Hunters did not help Annabeth they were under attack. However, the hunters were able to kill all the monsters without any loss of life on their side.

A few seconds after the other two got there Artemis flashed in with the hunters. They rush to Annabeth to see that she is barely alive. She opens her eyes and looks at her family. She starts to tear up.

"I am sorry everyone. I could not stop him. He took Thetis and Zoe. I was not able to stop him." Annabeth said.

"It is ok my daughter you did you best." Athena said as Artemis was doing her best to heal her. However, it was not enough the damage was too much.

"Good bye my friends. I love all of you." Annabeth said. With that Annabeth, Daughter of Athena, Daughter and Huntress of Artemis and Architect of Olympus closed her eyes and died. Percy picked up her up. Athena picked up her daughter's knives and placed them in her daughter's hands. The three then teleported away.

Percy shot a massive amount of lightning bolts into the sky. So much so that the sky that was once blue was now blacker then night. He was a sending a message to the other Gods and Goddess of the Olympian Council. It was a simple and clear message. Come now. In a matter of moment's the remaining Olympians had teleported in. None had seen Percy use this before. With Zeus it was a lot more often.

During the reign of Zeus, the others would not come as quick. Since to the other Gods and Goddess's Zeus was a joke and very rarely did you have to take something he said seriously. So with Zeus one of them would go ahead to the meeting and send a signal to the others if it was important. Most of the time it was not. They took turns doing it.

However, all the Gods and Goddess knew that Percy did joke a lot but he knew when to be serious. That and not having ever used that before they all came running. They saw Annabeth's body on the ground. They saw the look on Percy's face and all knew it was bad. They could all feel the royal families rage.

"Hermes go and get Scarlet and Lilly please and bring them here. Hercules has betrayed us." Percy said quietly. Hermes nodded his head and teleported out and back in with the two. Scarlet could smell the rage and sadness on her parents. She rushed over to them and hugs them.

"He kidnapped our daughters and has declared war on us." Athena said. Scarlet and Lilly both felt rage.

"Why is he doing this?" Nico asked.

"I am not sure." Percy said. The council heard crashing and fighting. A monster is thrown into the chambers. It was knocked out. Behind it came Norm in full battle armor with his axe drawn. The monster tried to get back up but Percy shot it with a beam and it froze.

"Sorry everyone he has the information you seek. He refuses to talk." Norm said.

"We will have domain over the Earth and as many humans as we want to eat." It hissed at the council. Athena shot him with a beam and his eyes glazed over.

"Why did he take our daughters?" Percy asked knowing what his wife had done.

"Not sure all he said was for some ritual to bring some one back." The monster hissed. Percy paled at that. He knew about this ritual he had read about it in Zeus's dairy.

"It is a ritual to bring back Zeus and to not only do that to make him stronger." Percy said. He went to get the ritual and showed it to everyone. Once everyone read it they are all shocked.

"This will not work the way Zeus thought it would. Instead it will only make Hercules stronger. It will give Hercules all of the powers that Zeus had." Athena said.

"Either way we have to stop him." Artemis said.

"Ok we need to plan. Athena think of what needs to be done. Hermes send a message to Camp Half Blood and tell them to prepare for war." Percy said. Hermes did that. Percy looked at Ares.

"Ares get everyone ready." Percy said. Ares nodded his head. He then looked at Medusa.

"Medusa have your team ready." Percy said and Medusa did just that.

"Everyone have your armor and weapons ready. Get your children ready." Percy said. Everyone teleported out. Percy raised his hand in the air and shot more bolts calling all the minor Gods and Goddess's to him. In a matter of seconds, they were all here. He gave the same message to everyone else. He did not think there would be issues. Most of them liked him a few did not care either way and no one out right hated him. Everyone teleported out and got ready for war.

"Scarlett and Lilly. I know you want to go and find your sister's so go." Percy said.

"However, please be careful." Percy said. The two hugged their parents and teleported out.

End of Chapter.

I know it has been a long time. Sorry for that and here is a chapter. Things are about to get interesting.
