It was a typical day at Camp Half-Blood. Apollo suddenly kidnapped Percy and took him to Olympus. Zeus was looking grim.

"Hecate has fallen ill. We need to have another god to secure the Olympian council in case Hecate were to fade. We need you, Percy Jackson," Zeus said.

Percy stood there like a stone.

"W-What? What about Annabeth? She'll be heartbroken!"

"Then so be it!"

"If she marries Percy, she can be an immortal being," Hera said, much to the Olympian's surprise.

"Alright. They're engaged and Percy already has done great deeds to help humans and Olympus. I approve," Athena said.

"I approve," Poseidon said.

Percy was running. He ran to Athena and engulfed her in a hug. To everyone's shock, she returned it.

"I'm so sorry for judging you too harshly. You deserve this," she whispered.

Annabeth was summoned on Olympus and she looked a little green from the transition.

"Hold on," she said, pulling out a trash can from Apollo.

She barfed into it before throwing the bag of vomit to the sun god.

"Ew! Ew!" Apollo shrieked, throwing the barf bag to Artemis, who shot an arrow into it, pinning Apollo to the wall with barf running down his shirt.

"Thanks, niece," Apollo grumbled.

"You're welcome!" Annabeth chimed a bit too enthusiastically.

"You are to get married now."

"WHAT?!" she shouted.

"Let the wedding commence!"

All campers were kidnapped by Hermes. They all resisted the urge to barf as Annabeth hurried down the aisle, kissing Percy before their wedding vows. There was a glow before their kiss. Percy was shot in the chest with a golden beam, making him still as a statue. His eyes flooded with understanding and he unfroze, gasping for air. The fates appeared.

"All hail Perseus Jackson, the god of loyalty, swordsmanship, tides, waves, and heroes. The fifteenth Olympian has been crowned!"

"WHAT?!" Came all of their shrieks.

A sea-green throne with swirls of silver appeared.

"Dude, that's not--"

Annabeth cut him off with the kiss. There was a bright golden light from Annabeth and she was immortal. They celebrated until Zeus cut the happiness in the air.

"HECATE IS ILL!" he yelled over the music.

Everyone fell silent.

"We must have Perseus try and help Hecate as much as he can."

Percy held up his hands, a sea-green light mixing with the regular mist.

"That won't help for much longer. We need Apollo to go help Hecate now! Campers! You are dismissed."

"Lord Zeus, am I still allowed to go to school?"

"Yes, you must. You must look out for the mortals. When the mist fades, we will come down and announce that the Greek gods are real. You will reveal yourself... but first..."

Zeus blasted Percy without warning. He shrieked in pain.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" Annabeth yelled.

Hera held her back.

"He is now King of the Gods. I have resigned. He will need as much strength."

"W-What? No, Lord Zeus, you can't--"

"I can. All hail, Perseus Jackson, King of the Gods!"

Clapping commenced and Annabeth hugged Percy.

"Alright, fun's over, let's go help the mortals!"

Percy flashed off with his crown still on his head. When the campers looked at him, Chiron also looked. His mouth dropped open and he turned pale. An Ares camper was 'smart' enough to challenge him.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WEARING A CROWN?!" He yelled.

Percy stomped his foot and a scepter with a huge sea-green orb on the top appeared. He shot it in the sky and the hurricanes built up, lightning crackled. He let the orb stop smoking and he stood his ground.

"I am Perseus Jackson, the god of loyalty, swordsmanship, tides, waves, and heroes, against my will, newly crowned king of Olympus."

All the campers gasped in shock.

"Chiron, a few campers will be selected by me to go out into the mortal world into Goode High with me. When this gets out of hand, the mortals will know. Therefore, when the mist fails, all mortals will know the Greek gods are real. There can't be anything done. The barriers will still be up, making Camp Half-Blood the only place for demigods to be safe."

Chiron nodded.

"Choose."

"I pick Clarisse La Rue, Chris Rodriguez, Travis and Connor Stoll, Katie Gardner, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Nico Di Angelo, Will Solace, Piper Mclean, Jason Grace, Hazel Levesque, Frank Zhang, and Leo Valdez. Calypso will be freed. Pack your things. I have a mansion from my job as a swimmer, singer, marine biologist, and model. We have to leave pronto."

They all scurried off. Goode High was the place that Percy Jackson was famous in, yet he would be more famous by the end of the week.
