A different ending

Chapter 1 the battle of Olympus

"Thalia." I screamed. The statue of Hera had fallen and would have crushed Annabeth and I if Thalia hadn't knocked her out of the way.

"go." She said. "I won't move anywhere. Go!" and at that Annabeth and I ran towards the throne room, where Kronos was headed.

Olympus was silent. There was no one in the streets but down on Earth a mighty battle was being fought, the Gods fighting the terrible Typhon and Hades with his minions were fighting Kronos's everlasting army. Annabeth and I ran to the throne room, the doors had been ripped of its hinges; Kronos was standing in the middle looking up at the enormous seats of power, a mad glint in his eye, he did not seem to see Annabeth and I, but whispered something quick to the traitor Ethan Nakamura.

At that point Kronos turned around he had the face of someone whom I had once respected but no longer. His face was hard and he was wearing a calculated look, sizing me up, he then looked pointedly at Annabeth who had started to cry, and said in Kronos' heavy evil voice. "and so the heroes have come but only one will be required and unfortunately" looking at Annabeth " my dear that is not you, Ethan dispose of her, Jackson you will be useful."

I tried to defend Annabeth but I also had to concentrate on Kronos, why was I needed or maybe he just wanted to kill me? He advanced towards me and I uncapped Riptide at once it grew into the long 3 foot sword that I had always loved.

I was ready for him to attack but then he just snapped his fingers and Annabeth and Ethan flew backwards out of the throne room, Annabeth got up straight away and tried to run back in but Ethan held her in combat; I wanted to run over and help her but I knew that would do no good I had to protect the seats of power, I remembered Athena's words before about how I would risk the world to save a friend, that was my fatal flaw. As much as I wanted to run in and help Annabeth I knew I had no choice, I'd have to defend the seats of power, my father had put his trust in me; and I wouldn't let him down.

"So Perseus Jackson, are you ready to become part of my plan?" Kronos asked in his heavy, ancient voice.

"What do you mean?" I replied, this was confusing why would Kronos need me? He had everything sorted out, then Kronos interrupted my thoughts by saying.

"You are a very powerful half-blood and have major control over the sea, a power I could use to my advantage," Kronos said with mock humor "I will become you and your power will be harnessed to my will!" I could only stand there in shock, what? This is what Kronos wanted me for! I found myself worrying about what would happen to Luke, "And what of Luke when you leave his body?" I asked.

"Ha they told me you were too considerate a trait I do not wish to have, but enough!" he suddenly closed his eyes and a black cloud was leaving Luke's body floating in the air, I looked down at Annabeth who had a scared expression on her face during her fight with Ethan Nakamura, she tried to run towards me but he blocked her, I was on my own.

I tried my best ok, but there wasn't much I could truth be told and before I knew what was happening the black cloud which I guess was the essence of Kronos had engulfed me, I fell to the ground; and then felt a pain worse than all I had ever experienced. He was inside my mind, inside my body controlling me and when I tried to speak I found the monster testing out his powers on the orphiotaurus' tank in the corner, water sprayed everywhere dousing me and giving Kronos more strength but little did he know that it was revitalizing my mind also.

Kronos using my eyes and looked down to where Annabeth was fighting Ethan when she saw me or Kronos inside of me her face turned savage. She immediately overpowered Ethan and Ethan fell to his knees, a large gash in his amour. Seeing Annabeth was the thing that made me gain control of my own body, though.

"Percy!" she shouted as she ran towards me, and it was then that I understood what I had to do. Using the water left over from the ophiotaurus' tank I summoned it to turn into a solid wall, and it did, still fighting Kronos for control I bent over and picked up Annabeth's dagger which had skidded across the floor before Kronos had sent her flying back, Annabeth was really screaming now but as much as she wacked the wall of water it did not break, she had tears in her eyes, she knew what I was going to do and she didn't like it. "Please don't." She said and for a moment I was tempted not to, Kronos then attempted control, I had no choice. I stabbed myself in the back, my Achilles heel, with Annabeth's blade and endured the terrible pain, when the pain had subsided I opened my eyes.
