This was a challenge issued by Blacksheep123 the sage. The challenge takes place after the first series of books. Percy request is refused and in anger Percy challenges Zeus as the king of the gods. Percy will be paired with Athena and Artemis but not right away in a few chapters.

Percy Jackson could not believe it. Actual he said to himself I can believe it. He had won the war and had defeated the titian leader Kronos. Many of his friends were given gifts by the gods. All of the gifts given made his friends happy. Percy was proud hi friends deserved the rewards they got. Percy was offered the highest gift the gods could bestow on a mortal the gift of immortality. However he felt that was selfish so he wanted something else. He wanted to something for others instead of just himself.

Instead he asked for a request and Zeus swore that if it was in his power and did not endanger the world he would do it. So Percy asked that all of the gods take an oath that they would claim all their kids by the time the kid reach the age of 12. (Can't remember exact age requested.) He also asked for Hades to be allowed back into the fold so to speak and that all children that had not been claimed yet be claimed. He also asked that the minor gods and goddess be given cabins at Camp Half Blood and be given more respect.

Percy's whole goal was to make sure that when the Titians rose again they would have a harder time doing it. Percy knew they would come back he wanted to make sure they would not have a willing army that time around. He had seen many people die he did not want more innocent people dying due to two sides fighting all the time. He did not want the minor god and goddess to fight on the Titians side.

A great shock came to him when Athena said. "This is a brilliant plan I would agree with it. It is as Percy said it will make the Titians next rise harder." Zeus said. "It will not be done. Things will stay as they are. Things have worked out well. Why should I change them?" (I know lame but it is all part of my plan.) Zeus had been in power a long time so he wanted to keep his power alive and well.

At first Percy was mad. He then got annoyed he then found everything funny. Athena and Artemis were watching him. Neither would admit it but Percy was growing on them. They may even love him both admitted to themselves. Athena respected him for his loyalty despite the fact he was the son of her enemy. He never gave up and would die for his friends. Artemis despite the fact that Percy was a man she still respected him.

He saved her and his friend. She knew Percy did not go on his quest to save her. He went to help Annabeth. Percy was able to change Zoe and to heal her. Artemis wondered if falling in love a second time was worth it for she did love someone before however he was killed. That was when she decided to become a maiden goddess. (More in a few chapters)

Both Athena and Artemis were watching him. They were just as mad as Percy was by their father's choice. They were shocked when Percy started to laugh. Zeus shouted. "What is so funny? I fail to see what is so funny." Percy said. "You are. It is no wonder we almost lost. All of you are weak. The so called big three only care about screwing women. The only ones that are good in a fight are Ares, Athena and Artemis. The two best in a fight are Athena and Artemis."

Percy took a pause and looked at the war god in the eyes said. "I mean not to offend you Ares but having little battle training I was able to beat you." Ares wanted to get mad but Percy was right about that. So he said. "No offenses taken you are right." Percy said. "However I would never challenge Athena or Artemis to a fight. The big three are weak. Poseidon only cared about his place."

Zeus said trying to hold his anger in. "You better stop or I will." Percy cut him off by saying. "Or you will what blast me, make my life hell. News flash it already is hell. If you won't do my request there is only one thing I can do."

He drew riptide and said. "I Percy Jackson hear by challenge Zeus as the king of the Gods. You are not fit to bear the title." All the gods were shocked beyond anything. Poseidon said. "Please my son I beg you to reconsider." Annabeth said. "Percy please do not do this." Percy said. "I got nothing else to live for. My mother was killed it was Krono's last bit of revenge. The one I love does not love me back. So what is the point? If I die at least I died fighting for something important."

Zeus said. "Very well we fight in 1 day. Spend you last hours well." Percy left and went to Montauk and built a little shine to his mother. It was her favorite spot in the world. It was the best way to honor her. He said. "Mom I am sorry I could not protect you. I hope you are safe and happy. Please guide me and help me." Athena and Artemis were taking to each other. Artemis said. "Why would he do that?"

Athena said. "He promised he would help make the world better. He feels this will do that. He never goes back on his word something to love about him." Artemis said. "Agreed it is one of the many things to love about him." It was then that both heard what the other said.

Athena said. "So it seems we both love him." Artemis said. "Yeah it is strange. What do we do?" Athena said. "For now we give him our blessings and when he wins figure out a plan." Artemis said. "Both of us cannot be with him." Athena said. "As King of the Gods we can. Are you willing to share?" Artemis said. "I am willing to sister. Should we warn father?"

Athena said. "It is the right thing to do." The two went to their father and warned him. He brushed them off and told them he would win. The next day the battle was set up. Zeus said. "Now Percy as you know any of the other gods may bestow upon you there blessing or give you a gift. Do any wish to do so?"
Ares raised his hands and shot a beam at Percy. He said. "I removed the curse I placed upon you. Let it be a fair fight. I also gave you some of my fighting styles. Have fun kid." Ares wanted a good show plus he respected Percy a little bit. Athena shot a beam at Percy and said. "I bestow my wisdom and battle strategy upon you. Use it with your natural skills the ones you have hidden." Artemis shot him with a beam and said. "I give you my skill. I may not be the best at close range but I have accuracy."

Percy bowed before the three and said. "Thank you I will treasure your gifts." Both fighters were armed and ready the battle was about to begin. He noticed his father did not give him anything. Percy was at first annoyed but then he realized that was the norm.
