Luke’s end

Percy sat up slowly as he was stuck in Kronos's time spell. The Titan wasn't yet able to fully control his power, making it slowed down time instead of a full stop.

Either way though, Percy was at the disadvantage.

"Ugh," Percy gritted his teeth as he forced himself to stand up, though it was slow at least he was in a better position to fight.

That's what he thought at least, but reality had other plans as Kronos kicked him in the stomach and threw him across the throne room.

"Come on boy, all that yelling and big talk just to be beaten so easily? Show me the Perseus Jackson that's supposed to stop me!" Kronos said smiling widely as he opened his hand, a large scythe flying into it just as he struck down on Percy, intending to end this thing sooner rather than later.

"Geez, I hate to admit it Percy, but this titan loser may be right, what's the point in five years of training if you let one guy beat you? You still have that shit I gave you don't you? Use it idiot…"

Argen's voice reached Percy's ears as the boy stood in front of Percy, blocking the scythe with a fixed riptide.

"I must say, this sword is truly amazing… It's like this right?" Argen said twisting the sword and hitting the scythe out of Kronos's hands.

"Hmm… I guess I'm a little better now huh?"

Argen smiled at Percy as he dropped riptide at his feet.

"I'm not here for Kronos… No I'm here for the other loser," Argen said, his smile dropping as he looked at Luke.

Percy grabbed riptide as he looked at Kronos with newfound hate. He didn't bother asking Argen how he got here, he knew Argen had his own set of secrets.

Even after everything that had happened Percy still considered Argen a friend, so he trusted him just as he had trusted him all those years ago.

"Kronos… After everything you've done to ruin my life, you'll die here in Olympus…"

Percy pulled a small silver disc from his pocket and looked at it.

It was the same thing Argen had slipped into his pocket two years ago when Annabeth had first gone missing.

"Caliburn!" Percy yelled as a bright yellow light lit up in his face, revealing the perfectly crafted sword in his hand.

It radiated holy energy, just the sight of it was enough to make Argen's skin crawl, but he ignored it as he face Luke.

"Hey… I've been meaning to finish you off for a while now-"

Luke lunged at Argen, pulling out Backbiter, which seemed to have gone through a makeover. Instead of the black and silver it was now fully gold, feeling much more dangerous than before.

"Ah I'm glad you noticed," Luke said appearing behind Argen, slashing Backbiter in a wide arc. "This sword negates all healing… It can even kill other gods!"

Luke slashed Backbiter down, aiming for Argen's neck as the silver haired boy dodged and jumped to the side.

"And? That's just a cheap version of me…" Argen said as he flashed forward until he was right in front of Luke, slamming his elbow into the god.

"That tickles Argen…" Luke said before blood came out of his mouth.

"You can pretend all you want, but taking a divinity doesn't make you a god, you'd have to have been blessed…"

Luke widened his eyes as he kicked Argen away, backing up as he held Backbiter in front of him.

"I am a god Argen!" Luke said, his face turning red from anger as Argen sighed and dropped his fighting stance.

"I'm sorry Luke… It was my fault that this happened to you… Now you won't get your heroic end haha…"

Luke paused before flashing forward and slicing down on Argen's neck.

"It's all my fault…" Argen said as he dodged the blade and twisted his body, kicking Luke in the jaw and sending him flying across the room.

"What bullshit are you spewing?" Luke said angrily as he gripped Backbiter and soared toward Argen in a flash of golden light.

"I wasn't supposed to exist," Argen said as he kicked Luke square in the face.

"My existence has messed up everything… And for that I'm sorry…" Argen sighed as he kicked Luke in the ribs, sending him into his throne.

"But I have to do this man, I have to finish everything, don't worry, you'll get your heroic end… So just… Die for me."

Argen said these last words as he took out his twin glocks, pointing them straight at Luke as the god coughed up blood.

"Haha… Fine, Fine… Whatever…" He said as his brain was filled with silver energy, killing him instantly with no pain.

(In the first year of Argen's training with Selene)

"Why'd you do that!" Selene yelled at her moon partner who just shrugged as he looked at the unconscious Argen.

Perhaps he had been a little to rough with his energy, but to learn this move meant going through hell, so he didn't see what he did wrong.

As Argen lay unconscious his mind was far from asleep.

"Argen… Argen!" A voice yelled, jerking him awake.

"What the hell?" He said breathing heavily as he looked around a room.

"Geez, if you're not going to clean your room the least you could do is-"

"You think I'll fall for some shit like this? I know very well I don't have a mother, just cut the illusion and talk to me normally…" Argen said cutting off the woman as the walls began to fade.

"Sorry about that, I knew you always wanted a mother…" The woman said as the surroundings changed, showing a warm room with tea set out in front of both of them.

"Who are you? Don't bother lying, just tell me so I can leave quicker…"

"Well Argen… My name is Hemera, and we've met before hehe," The goddess said smiling at Argen's shock before the surroundings changed once again.

"That's not why you're here though, someone is here to visit you, I simply managed to intercept you for a few seconds… It was worth it," With this the woman dissolved in front of Argen's eyes as a man stood in front of him instead.

"Hmm, What do you think Nisus? Think he's stronger than you?" A white haired man next to the older man said crouching close to Argen, as if examining him.

"No shot Jasper, we all know I'm the strongest… Sage what do you think?" Another man said on the other side, he also had white hair, the only thing different though were the several beautiful women were behind him.

"Hmm, that doesn't matter, get out of here," The older man, or sage as they'd called him, said as he looked at Argen.

"You are filled with Anger… Why?" The man asked, his expression soft as Argen looked up at him.

"Why?…"
