Surprised? Well, this is the last chapter in this saga! And trust me, it's a good one! Well… enjoy!

"Man, that was fun." Luke laughed as he leaned back against the thick tree, looking at the fire blazing in front of him.

"What you call fun, I call crazy. That was one big monster." Thalia smiled as she wiped off the end of her spear. They were resting after they had been ambushed by a hellhound that had almost taken Thalia's head off. It didn't take very long to figure out that her psychotic uncle had a role in it.

"What did you think, Annabeth?" Luke asked as he turned to look at Annabeth, who was sitting on a rock nearby, squinting at a book in her hands.

"Annabeth! You there?" Thalia asked, causing her to finally look up with wide grey eyes.

"Oh! Ummm… sorry! Yeah, big one!" Luke cracked a grin.

"What are you reading, Annabeth?" the seven-year-old girl looked nervous.

"A comic book. I found it in a box outside that store." She held it up. Luke squinted. He could see the title: Infinite Crisis.

"It's a comic book! It's kinda tricky, but I'm reading it. It's way easier than a normal book." Thalia looked interested.

"What's it about?" Annabeth frowned

"Well, there's all these parallel Earths, and all these guys are fighting each other!" Luke scowled.

"Parallel Earths? What does that mean?" he asked

"Well… from this, it says that there are multiple Earths, but things are different on each one. Different things happened on each one that made each one different." The little girl looked very confused. But, thalia looked intrigued.

"Oh, I get it. Different choices, different possibilities. Makes you wonder. Maybe things are different somewhere else." Thalia commented

"Can you imagine if they exist? Maybe I'm a big architect on another one!" Thalia chuckled at Annabeth

"Maybe. Anything you want, Annabeth. Maybe I'm a normal girl on another Earth. Maybe my family's together on another Earth. Or at least I still have Jason." She whispered that second part to herself.

"Maybe the gods don't exist on another Earth. Wonder what that's like." Annabeth looked baffled.

"Then we wouldn't exist, silly!" Annabeth giggled. Luke scowled.

"It's probably a great place." He whispered to himself. Then, he pressed his lips together.

"Makes you wonder. You think we'll ever get to go to any of these Earths?" Thalis laughed.

"I'd be more concerned about if anything came here. Or anyone." Luke frowned at that.

"You got that right." Luke's eyes widened, and he whirled to see Gohan sitting next to Annabeth, who was now her 12-year-old self.

"YOU!" Annabeth giggled.

"Luke, isn't he dreamy? He's so much more handsome than you!" Luke leaped up with a look of utter disbelief.

"Get your hands off her!" Gohan chuckled.

"Give it up, Luke. I'll always be better than you. See why?" Then, Gohan and Annabeth locked lips. Luke let out a scream of rage as he leaped to his feet.

"NO! Thalia!" Luke whirled around, but Thalia was gone. When he turned to face Gohan, his blood froze. Annabeth had vanished. Now, Gohan was locking lips with Thalia. One hand was wrapped around her waist and the other up her shirt. Luke roared with rage.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" Thalia and Gohan separated and smiled at Luke.

"He's everything you're not, Luke. We're gonna have some fun. Isn't that right?" Thalia looked at Gohan and smiled He grinned back.

"Of course, baby. Just let me get rid of this little problem first." Gohan grinned as he looked at Luke. Then, he turned gold.

"Any last words? I have the fame. I have the girl. And I have the power. You. Have. Nothing!" Thalia let out a peal of laughter as Gohan roared as he charged at Luke. Luke let out a bloodcurdling scream. Then, the world went black, except for the echo of Thalia's laughter.

"NO!" Luke cried as his eyes snapped open. The first thing he saw was the dark blue ceiling, which was considerably bare. Then, the pain hit. Every inch of his body throbbed. He had never felt this badly before, not ever. Not even when he fought the dragon for the golden apple and scarred his face. And his rage? He hadn't felt this angry since the night he lost Thalia.

"Well… you're awake." Luke blinked and turned to see a figure standing in front of a wide glass window. Now, Luke could see that he was in New York City, and in quite a tall building. He could see the entire city from his bed, even the Empire State Building. His blood boiled at the sight of that building, where the gods ruled and manipulated with their little games. But, he focused on the figure instead.

"You. About time you showed your face!" Luke sat up with rage, but winched in pain. His wrists were bound to the bed.

"What is this?" Luke demanded.

"One broken wrist, four broken ribs and three more bruised ones, various bumps and bruises, and a new scar to go with your old one. Oh, and don't even let me get started with the internal bleeding. Do be grateful. I'm the only reason you're not in the Underworld not now." Luke gritted his teeth.

"You!" he was quickly off.

"I was like you once. Arrogant, powerful. I made an entire world tremble in fear. But, like you, I toyed with my opponents. I underestimated them. And that… well, you saw the result of that." The figure laughed

"You're quite lucky he didn't kill you. Then again, if I hadn't saved your sorry hide and plucked you out of that forest, you probably would have been worse than dead. They would have paraded you around, and made an example of you. They would have done things to you that would make others think twice and never even consider rebelling, and your daddy wouldn't have done a thing to stop it." Luke gritted his teeth.

"Don't talk about him!" Luke yelled before yelling in pain.

"Oh, do be careful. I healed some of your wounds, but I left a few noticeable ones. Pain, after all, is the best lesson. It reminds you of the mistakes you made, and not to repeat them. And you, boy, seem to have a difficult time obeying orders. This is my punishment for you. All the pain… no painkillers." Luke snarled as he struggled against his bonds.

"You were specifically ordered to leave Jackson alive and to flee quietly. But no, you had to make a show of it, and try to kill the boy. And now, you're exposed. They know your role, and you nearly lost your pathetic life in the process! And, you very nearly outed me. I should have let you die." Luke grimaced

"It's going to come out sooner or later! I mean, you're…"the figure whirled to look at Luke, and his voice died in his throat. A shudder went through his body. He had known this thing for years, and he never got used to looking at him. And the sight had only worsened over the last two years. His once green body had turned a deep black, and his purple eyes were now a dark red, which barely reflected the power within hos form. Ever few seconds, a burst of red electricity danced over his form. In a way, he was more of a monster than the creatures Luke had fought for years. And beneath his cloak, something twitched. Luke knew it was the monster's tail. The thing he used to gain even more power from the monsters and other creatures unfortunate enough to cross his path. And for now, Luke called this thing ally. But, he would never call him a friend.

"I am perfection. I am… Cell." Cell smiled.

"Why didn't you? Let me die, I mean." Cell laughed.

"Why? Because you, my dear boy, still have some use. I admit, you have something I never will. Turst." Looking at Luke's perplexed look, Cell continued.

"United, Gohan and the demigods of Camp Half-Blood are a formidable foe. But you, my boy, will divide them. You will tap into their frustration and rage at their godly parents, and drive them apart. You will lead our army against them, and watch Camp Half-Blood burn.

"You talk big, but where were you to make sure your master plot went as planned? The gods should be killing each other, Lord Kronos restored to his full power, and the revolution underway!" Cell roared with laughter.

"Oh, how large you think. One might call it bold! Idiot, that was your plan, not mine. I have found that if one thinks too big, then one should expect failure. Try to construct a building all at once, and it all fails. But one brick at a time… will bring you success. Do be patient." Luke gritted his teeth.

"Patient? PATIENT? I'VE BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS!" Luke was quickly cut off by something lightning fast smacking him across the face creating a crack that echoed across the room. Luke turned back to see Cell's tail linger in front of his face before shooting back beneath the cloak.

"You think you know patience? You think you know how to wait?" Then, Cell vanished from the window and reappeared in front of Luke. In an instant, his hand was wrapped around Luke's throat.

"I spent over twenty years growing in a tube, with the words of my creator repeating in my head. Then, I wasted four more years after traveling back in time to find the key to my perfection. And the time I spent to gain my Perfect Form? When you have experienced even a miniscule of the torment I have endured… then you can consider yourself… patient!" Cell released his hand, causing Luke to let out a deep breath as he slumped back. Cell chuckled as he walked to the foot of the bed and flicked his wrist. Luke's restraints snapped off, causing him to groan as he sat up and rubbed his sore wrists.

"What was your plan?" Luke asked. Cell chuckled.

"A first impression is an important thing, Castellan. I knew Gohan would arrive here someday, and likely encounter Camp Half-Blood." Luke frowned.

"But… why make them allies? Why not make them enemies and have them destroy each other? You yourself just said that they were formidable together!" the android nodded.

"True. That would be the simpler approach. But now? The campers will come to see him as a hero, even greater than your Hercules. They'll see him as their sword and shield, able to stamp out any threat. Soon, they'll depend on him. And then! We will strike, and I will defeat him! But I will not destroy him. I will not kill him. I… will break him! Only when I have destroyed his spirit and mind, will I destroy him. And with that, Camp Half-Blood's spirit will be shattered. Without their hero, they will fall. And this world will be ours." Luke chuckled at that.

"That's… creative." Cell smirked.

"Get up. Kronos and I have been talking, and we have decided on our next move." Luke slowly got up, winching as he clutched his side.

"Stop whining. Gohan could have taken all those injuries without complaining." Luke glared at him.

"Don't say his name!" Cell looked amused.

"Well well, someone seems jealous. You must have had had a bad nightmare." Luke bristled.

"So, what's next?" Cell smiled.

"We're going to cripple Camp Half-Blood, and take the prophecy into our own hands in one swoop." Luke looked confused.

"How?"

"You're going to the Underworld, and you will collect a vial of elder python venom. You will then use it to poison the tree that protects the camp. After that, you will begin recruiting fellow demigods who see the same way you do." Luke looked shocked.

"You're asking me to poison Thalia's tree." Cell nodded. Luke looked shocked.

"NO! Gods no. I won't do that. Not to Thalia. I wont hurt her. Not to mention, Annabeth would never speak to me again." Cell smiled.

"Do listen before you decide. The gods will blame Chiron and force him out, taking away their mentor. Then, with the barrier weakened, we will launch attack after attack. And then, when they're weak and desperate, that idiot wine god will assign a quest, to get the only item that will resurrect the tree." Luke looked confused before realization shot across his face.

"You mean the…" Cell nodded.

"Yes. Play your cards right, and not only will we have the means to quicken the resurrection of Kronos, but we will gain another card to play in controlling the prophecy. And you'll get back something that you want most. If you're willing." Luke stared at Cell along while before nodding. Then, the two of them stood at the window, looking over Manhattan.

"Soon, this world will be ours." Luke nodded. Then, he frowned.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Cell smiled.

"I have my own plans that I'll be enacting in several months." Then, there was a knock at the door, and both turned to see a girl strode in with a case in hand.

"The item you requested, Lord Cell." Cell nodded.

"You may go." The girl bowed as she placed the case on the ground, before striding out. Cell gestured, causing the case to float in front of him. It opened to reveal a brown scroll.

"What is that?" Luke asked, but Cell ignored him.

"Yes, this seems accurate. So, the location of the five…" the scroll floated out of the case and unraveled. Luke frowned. The scroll was covered in symbols that seemed to float off the page.

"Are those… Egyptian hieroglyphics?" Luke asked in confusion. Cell smiled as his eyes danced over the scroll.

"Well, this is helpful. Very helpful. Isis, Osiris, Horus…. Ah, there he is. Set. And the Demon Days are on… " Luke frowned.

"What are you talking about?" Cell chuckled as he looked at Luke.

"It's a large world, Castellan. There's more to it than just the gods of Olympus. And there's more than one way to achieve our goal. You will focus on your mission, and I will focus on mine." Cell looked over the scroll one more time, before smiling.

"This is nearly everything I need, Now, I just need one more thing. The magician to make it all possible." Luke frowned in confusion. Then, Cell flicked his fingers, causing the large television in the room to snap on. It cut to a feed of a large event, with a pretty blonde woman standing in front of the camera.

"We are live outside the Museum of Cairo, where Doctor Julius Kane has just finished his lecture on the fall of Egypt, in commemoration of the newest Cleopatra exhibit." The camera cut to the woman standing next to a well dressed and build black man in a suit.

"Doctor Kane, what do you think about this latest exhibit?" Dr. Kane smiled.

"Well, Sally, I'm glad that the latest agreements have allowed for better cooperation, to ensure that more artifacts can be recovered and not lost to history. I'm proud to attend this event with my son, Carter." The camera zoomed out to show the well-dressed young man standing next to Dr. Kane.

"Ummm… hi!" Carter said nervously. Luke snorted.

"What a nerd." Cell flicked his wrist, causing the picture to freeze on Dr. Kane and his son.

"And there, Castellan, is my key to making a rift. To unleash the gods of Egypt on the world. Where one story ends, another begins." Luke stared at Cell is disbelief. Cell simply looked at Luke and smiled.

"My dear boy, I'm going to unleash Chaos on this world."

Enjoy all that? I'm sure you're all confused. How has Cell been here way longer than Gohan? How long will it take Gohan and his new friends to find out about Cell? Believe me, there's plenty of action coming! I hope you all had fun on this adventure. The origin story's always the best to write, and this was a great one. Now, Gohan and the Lightning Thief has come to a close.

Well, I think it's obvious. The sequel for this story is going to be Gohan and the Red Pyramid. And yep, you guessed it. Everyone's favorite saiyan is going team up with the Kanes! That story will be coming up along soon, and it's gonna be a blast! And after that? Yep, Gohan and the Sea of Monsters! I hope you all had fun! Trust me, there's plenty more coming! Read and Review!
