A/N This is kinda similar to other stories, just minor tweaks to the stories. Hoping to write up to Blood of Olympus, keeping similar to canon. Also, I will not include Trials of Apollo (forgive me, but not Riordan's usual work)

Disclaimer: None of this stuff is actually mine, this is just my imagination. (Please don't sue me)

A/N #2 Please vote in the poll, you can affect the outcome of almost the rest of the series. BTW poll has a spoiler: Bianca isn't going to die.

Percy returned to seeing Rob freeing his mother with the pearl. Percy was now stuck in the Underworld.

Hades laughed. "Jackson. That other boy did pretty much everything a hero shouldn't. Oh, well. Do you want me to send you to the surface?"

"No need. I can easily escape." With that, he melted into the shadows.

Percy had timed it so that he would come out above Ares. That didn't work. Instead, he saw Rob getting smashed by Ares. Annabeth was screaming, and Ares was just about to turn Rob into something when Percy stepped in.

"Well, well, well. The traitor has returned."

Ares growled. "This doesn't concern you!"

"Yes, it does. Bring it on, war brat!"

Percy laughed when he saw Ares's charge. Compared to Percy, Ares was slow and uncoordinated. He slipped out of the way and tripped Ares. This continued until Percy shouted, "Enough!"

With that, Ares flew backwards fifteen feet. He groggily got to his feet, before suddenly being pinned by Percy. He struggled, but was finally forced to give up. Growling, he left the items of power on the beach. Percy then let him go.

Chaos appeared on the beach. He waved his hand, and a portal opened.

"Rob and Annabeth, this portal will take you back to the throne room. Return the lightning bolt."

After they stepped through the portal, Chaos turned to Percy.

"I must teach you Hyperion's light and Iapetus's healing. I believe they will be useful for short term fights. It will take up the rest of the year. But before that, I have a question. Do you know the Daughter of Nyx?"
