In the fanfiction, if Percy gets banished to Tartarus, he could potentially meet some old enemies who have been banished there too. Maybe he'd have to team up with some unlikely allies to find a way out. It would be a struggle for him, as Tartarus is a place where hope is almost non - existent. He'd also have to deal with the harsh environment, like the rivers of fire and the jagged rocks.
He might rely on his skills and the powers he already has. His control over water could help him find sources of water in Tartarus for survival. Also, his combat skills would be crucial in fending off the various monsters there.
Well, one reason could be that he's wrongly accused of a major crime against the gods. Maybe some false evidence is planted, making the gods believe he's a threat, so they banish him. Another reason might be that he's trying to protect someone or something, and his actions are misinterpreted as going against the gods' will. For example, if he's trying to save a powerful but 'forbidden' creature, the gods might see this as a violation and send him to Tartarus.
Well, perhaps in the fanfic, there's a prophecy that gets misinterpreted. The gods think Percy is going to cause great harm based on this wrong interpretation, so they send him to Tartarus. It could also be that there's some sort of power struggle among the gods. Percy might be caught in the middle of it, and one side decides to get rid of him by banishing him to Tartarus to tip the balance in their favor.
First of all, Percy's resourcefulness would come into play. He would probably try to make allies among the less - hostile creatures in Tartarus. He has a way of befriending those who are often overlooked. Also, he would use his knowledge of Greek mythology. Since he knows about many of the monsters and their weaknesses from his studies, he can use this knowledge to survive. His connection to his friends, even if they are far away, might also give him the strength and motivation to keep going and find a way to escape or at least endure.
Perhaps he could make an alliance with some of the less hostile creatures in Tartarus. There might be beings who are also tired of the chaos and want to help Percy in exchange for something, like a promise to free them from Tartarus if he ever gets the chance. Percy is known for his charisma and ability to make friends, even in the most unlikely situations.
He might rely on his powers. Percy is a son of Poseidon, so his control over water could be crucial. He could use water sources in Tartarus, if any, to heal himself, create barriers, or even find a way to escape. For example, he could manipulate the Styx water to his advantage.
In the fanfiction, the environment of Tartarus itself could be considered an antagonist. The extreme heat, the toxic gases, and the ever - present danger of falling into bottomless pits. And on top of that, there could be some sort of demon - like creatures that are specifically created or summoned to hunt down Percy and Zoe and prevent them from achieving their goals.
Well, one possible plot could be that Percy and Zoe have to face various ancient and terrifying monsters in Tartarus. They might encounter challenges that test their friendship and their individual strengths. For example, they could come across the Titans that were once banished there, and have to find a way to avoid or defeat them while also trying to find a way back to the upper world.
