Percy's Pov:

"Help! Percy!" I looked around and saw a beautiful woman standing behind bars, screaming for help. She had flowing black hair, reaching just over her shoulders, a tiara with red beads. She had tan skin, and raging red eyes,

"Who are you?" I asked,

"Father!" She shouted, banging on metal bars desperately,"help me!" 

"Viá?" I asked, walking to the bars, not knowing how I knew it,

"Yes, father, it's me," she said, smiling sadly, "you must get your memories back, father! I can help, just free me from this," she struggled against the bars,

"Of course, Viá," I said, and looked around the room, well, cave, and saw three small chests on a wooden table.

"The middle one, I think," Viá said, (I'm not gonna do the whole lines over letters thing. It'll just be Via.) I opened it and it had 5 keys. I looked the lot and started to check each one. The third key complied, and I opened the door. Via grinned at me, and hugged me,

"I'll be waiting with Amaru, father, but know, I'm the only one you can free that easily. Find us in Tartarus, dad. And don't trust Hestia! They're all the same!" she warned, and dispersed.

I sat up in a start, only to be pushed down. Oh, that was a dream. I smiled, knowing I freed my daughter already. I looked at my hands and saw the hand-cuffed. Anger immediately boiled inside of me. I saved their insolent butts again, and that's what they do? 

"I see you're awake," I heard a chuckle, I looked at the door and saw a smirking Apollo,

"What's the meaning of this?" I asked in rage,

"You honestly thought we'd let you live, or have your memories just like that?" He laughed and clapped his hands together,

"Yeah. I did. You would not have been able to deal with Order yourself, weakling," I said, smirking at his surprised look, 

"Annabeth killed him, not you, idiot," he waved me off, I looked at him in disbelief. Annabeth lied that she killed Order? He wasn't killed! He was faded, by me! Ugh, moron. I'll kill her myself.

"No, I did," I started, but he just smiled in a 'you're an idiot' way,

"You think we'd trust you over Annabeth?" He asked, in a 'duh' voice,

"Yes. Yes, I do," I said, breaking the handcuffs with my strength.

"W-What?" He asked surprised, staring at the broken handcuffs,

"And if Annabeth was wise enough, we wouldn't have run into the vines as badly the first time we came in," I said, walking closer to him, "and you just spoiled your last chance to prevent a war, Apollo," I growled, holding him by the neck. That's when Hestia ran in,

"Percy! Don't!" She shouted,

"Give me a reason why not to," I sneered, squeezing his neck more, until he was clawing my hands,

"You fought for, uh, with us this whole time, why now?" She asked, desperately,

"Oh, I see how it is," I said, a disappointed smile on my face, "this whole time you used me, of all the gods, you? Lady Eirene was right, you never helped me, you just wanted information and my power in you control, didn't you? You took away my family, and call yourself a goddess of it? You're just a traitor and disappointment of your own domains, no wonder I wanted you dead before," I said, dropping Apollo on his knees and walking toward her, "I guess Via was right, you're all the same," I said, tears in my eyes, 

"Percy," she said, shaking her head, tears falling down her cheeks,

"I honestly expected more from someone like you, Hestia, but I guess there's not much I can expect from lowly beings like you," I said, and pushed past her, hearing her sobs. I stopped and turned my head back, but didn't look at her, "You know, you could've been like Hazel and Frank, at least apologize. Even if you did it in your own will," I said, nodding my head as tears fell from my eyes,

"We're not all the same, and what? Hazel and Frank?" She asked, 

"They died, because you gods were too prideful to even help," I said, as I walked out of the room.  I walked past Poseidon, and elbowed him in the stomach.

"What?" He doubled over,

"You. Traitor." I growled, kicking him in the foot joint,

"H-How," he asked, falling to his knees,

"Don't play innocent, Poseidon, I know everything, and don't even try undoing your lot," I growled and walked to the center of the council, where the rest of the gods were,

"Uh, Perseus!" Zeus said in surprise, but quickly hid it with a smile, "I see you're awake, we should do the ceremony, then," he said, looking at Hera unsurely,

"No." I said, carelessly,

"Excuse me?" Hera stood up, before Zeus could have a chance to process what I said,

"You want me dead. You want me at your service, don't you?" I said, smiling in a 'wow' way, shaking my head, "you honestly though I wouldn't know?" I said, letting out a humorless laugh, "Well, congrats, you started a new war. But hear me, Olympians, you won't win this one. You won't stop me. You will all die at the hand of your own mistake," I said, as Athena shivered,

"I-Is t-there a c-chance to join?" Athena stuttered, I looked at her and smiled,

"Of course, if you wish to, swear on your own existence, that you'll never betray me, Athena," I said, smirking, watching the other's reactions,

"Daughter," Zeus warned,

"No! You never listened to me, did you? I told you we can't risk it, but you chose to do this anyways. I refuse to help those who did this to themselves," she spat at him, "I swear on the River Styx and on my own existence that I will not betray Lady Percy and stay with her the whole time, and I remove myself from the duty's of Olympus," She said, with no regret in her voice,

"Mother!" Annabeth's voice sounded,

"If it isn't the liar," I laughed as she came into view,

"So what? You'll die anyways!" She shouted, angrily, "my wisdom will be enough to keep Olympus alive!" Athena started walking toward her, taking out her sword,

"Not now, Athena, you'll have your chance," I stopped her, "Anyone else?" I asked, innocently, Hestia started to open her mouth,

"shut it, Hestia," I said, she looked like she was slapped in the face, "you will never have a chance with me, again," I sneered. No one said anything about it, "Demigods?" I said, "last chance," I growled,

"You'll be thrown into Tartarus, the primordials are with us against you," Zeus stated, victoriously,

"I will!" Leo shouted, walking forward. I saw Hephaestus curl his lip. Leo, Jason, Piper, Reyna and Thalia all swore like Athena did. I knew I needed my memories back, so I needed to go to Tartarus anyways.

"Goodbye Olympians, remember, Brick by brick! Brick by brick!" I shouted as I turned male, and fell into hell with the rest of my friends.
