Two Months Later
On Olympus
Third Person POV:

The throne room was silent as the gods waited for Artemis to join the council meeting but she didn't arrive. Zeus sighed in frustration and glared at Apollo.

"Apollo, get your sister her, we need her now!" he said and Apollo nodded and flashed off

"Mi lord, she is very distraught, I do not believe it is in our best interest to bring her here at this point in time" Star said and Zeus looked own and scowled

"Do not tell me what to do girl, I am king here and I demand Artemis be here for the planning of the attack on the giants!" Zeus thundered and Star just nodded, a blank expression on her face

"Of course milord, my apologies" She said and looked forward as the other guardians didn't say anything

Several minutes passed before the throne room doors were opened and Apollo, along with several minor goddesses came in dragging Artemis who was kicking and screaming as she fought them off.

"LET ME GO! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!!" Artemis screamed as tears were rolling down her cheeks

Zeus stood up, lightning flashing in his eyes as he summoned his bolt and discharged it into the air.

"ARTEMIS!!! THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH! HE WAS JUST A DAMNED DEMIGOD!" Zeus boomed and Phoenix stiffened but didn't react

Poseidon on the other hand, did react with the expected action. He stood up and slammed his trident into the ground causing an earthquake as his form glowed slightly.

"He was my son Brother, savior of Olympus!" Poseidon growled and Zeus glared at Poseidon

"He was too powerful anyways! He defied the fates! He should have been killed after he returned my bolt to me" Zeus shouted and Poseidon pointed his trident at Zeus

"And what? Your daughter Thalia should stay alive? If I remember correctly Hades is the only one who tried to kill her, and for good cause. As you kill every one of his demigod children and their lovers!" Poseidon spat at Zeus who was sparking with electricity as he pointed his bolt at Poseidon and fired

Poseidon deflected the bolt with his trident before pointing the three prongs at Zeus and firing a beam of pure blue energy that was absorbed by the god of the sky.

"You're weak from your domain brother!" Zeus taunted as he fired another bolt of lightning at Poseidon who was seething at this point and didn't have enough time to react

However, a flash of flames erupted in front of Poseidon as Phoenix blocked the bolt with his sword as his armor appeared on him. Surprised by the sudden interference Zeus stopped attacking for a moment before he willed the winds to throw Phoenix back at the hearth before he was forced to defend himself as Poseidon thrusted his trident at Zeus.

"You will regret calling my son just another demigods brother!" Poseidon roared as he parried a slash from Zeus' bolt before he was kicked back by the sky god

"And you will regret defending a dead demigod!" Zeus spat until powerful aura entered the room as a portal of pure black appeared and Chaos appeared fuming

"ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!" Chaos demanded as he unleashed his full aura which threw the gods back into their thrones "NOW STAY SEATED AND SHUT UP OR ILL HAVE YOU RIPPED FROM THIS VERY EXISTENCE!" He threatened and everyone nodded as he walked over to Artemis and hugged the sobbing goddess who just took the embrace welcomingly "It's okay dear, shhh, it'll be alright" He said as Artemis cried shamelessly into Chaos' suit

"H-H-He p-p-promised..." Artemis said in between sobs as she caught sight of the ring on her finger and she broke down into another round of sobs that made even Ares feel sorry for the moon goddess

Zeus spotted the ring and his face grew red as he exploded again.

"YOU DA—" He started before Chaos raised his hand and Zeus felt a tremendous pression on his lungs as the air was squeezed out and he looked into Chaos' eyes and nearly freaked out

Chaos' eyes were pure black, not a single thing in his eyes. It was as if his eyes were two black holes that threatened to suck the very being out of someone if you stared too long.

"Shut. Your. Damn. Mouth" Chaos said quietly as the room's temperature dropped several degrees in less than a second and frost started to gather on the thrones

Chaos continued to comfort Artemis until she fell asleep. When she did, Chaos teleported her to her palace bed before he sat in her throne and everyone looked at him.

"Okay, so this is whats going to happen, and I don't give two shits about what the 'King' says. You all are going to Aid the demigods in this fight" Chaos said and everyone nodded "Hephaestus, I want you to start building warships for the romans and Greeks so they can reach the old world quicker. Apollo, you are going to teach the demigods how to shoot properly. Ares you're in charge of training, push them hard" He finished and the gods nodded

"Lord Chaos" Hera asked and Chaos looked at her

"Why does Artemis care so much for Perseus?" Hera questioned and Chaos sighed

"His name is Percy" Justice said and Shane nodded

"What do you mean?" Star asked and the others looked at the two

"His name, is Percy Achilles Jackson, guardian of Artemis, that's why she cares so much" Shane said and the room was silent

"That makes no sense" Marcus, Athena's Guardian, said "If he was her guardian then how come he doesn't have the immortality? Or why didn't he tell us?!"

"Maybe he wanted to stay under the radar, but think about it. He is friends with the hunt, he knows how to create Aieon. He loves the moon, his roman brand has a shield and a moon on it. He has all of Percy's old gear, it only makes sense" Shane said and looks of realization hit the other guardians as they all looked at Phoenix who was sitting at the hearth with a look of depression

"Phoenix, is this true?" Alex asked and the guardian of the hearth looked at everyone

"Yes, that was Percy, and he gave his life once again to protect Artemis, now we must honor his sacrifice by winning this war" He said as his voice caught in his throat before he cleared it "And I'll be damned if anyone gets in my way" He said before he flame traveled out of the throne room leaving it in silence
