Disclaimer: To clarify once more, the three Nico, Percy, and Annabeth are not technically from the original series. They are from a story based closely around the original series that never became a thing. They are from a few years after the giant war (Trials of Apollo never happened) and Percy dipped into the River Styx a second time to deal with another crisis, it's just easier to say they're from the original universe because they pretty much are, just the future is a little different.
Ch.10 "Nico" Percy said happily.
Nico looked at Percy confused, "Who are you?"
"Looks like his memory was wiped a little too well," Hera said as the gods shifted to an inbetween status.
"Ya don't say, Juno?" Pluto said sarcastically.
"Oh hush ," Juno said, rolling her eyes. "We didn't exactly choose which memories he would remember, it doesn't work like that."
"Dii perduint eam" Percy cursed loudly. Nico looked at Percy confused but the other two demigods looked at Percy with raised eyebrows.
"Umm.... Are you a demigod?" A pudgy Asian kid asked.
Mars raised his eyebrow as it sounded like one of his children.
Percy looked at the kid for a second before his eyes shifted to the girl with him. Percy's eyes widened, "Hazel?"
Pluto's eyes widened. "Wait what? How is that possible?"
"Uh..." Nico said, trailing off into silence figuring it would be better to let the story explain.
Hazel looked at Percy confused, "Umm.... Yes. But I don't think I know you." Percy stared at her for a minute before he face palmed. Percy shook his head and then snapped his fingers. His appearance changed into the one of Blake.
"Wait, do you have other personas?" Harry asked.
"It's like Polyjuice potion, but less disgusting," Hermione said in awe.
"Uh," Perseus said. "Best leave that one unanswered. The short answer is perhaps, the long answer is I won't tell you as it would ruin some of the fun I have."
"You can manipulate your appearance though?" Venus asked, intrigued.
"Uh more like I can manipulate the Mist," Perseus said. "Like Fred does, right?"
Apollo whistled awkwardly as Perseus smirked.
"Blake?" Hazel asked. Percy shook his head, "Actually my name is really Percy, but yes it is me." Hazel's eyes widened but she rushed forward and hugged Percy tightly, "Where have you been?" The Asian kid glared at Percy but was ignored as Percy hugged back one of the few people he allowed himself to get close with during his short time at Camp Jupiter.
"But I don't understand how she's alive," Pluto mumbled. "She should be dead..."
"She was," Nico answered. "I uh might have brought her back to life... in a way."
Pluto raised his eyebrow.
"I uh kinda did it Orpheus style," Nico explained.
Pluto sighed. "You know what, best if I don't ask or don't know."|
When Percy released her, he changed himself back into his normal appearance. Hazel looked at him expectantly. "So, Blake... Or Percy, how is it that you look so different now and why did you leave camp anyway?" Hazel asked confused. Percy sighed loudly and pinched the bridge of his nose, "This is going to take a long time to explain so we I will do it on our way to Alaska."
Last time on Different War:
In the meantime, Lord Zeus was having a hissy fit. "My son DIED?!" He shook from anger.
"Lord Zeus, it was an accident." Piper tried to calm him...only to make it worse.
"WHO!" The one word bounced off the walls.
"It was Lady Hera!" Jason yelled. "She showed her true form and I didn't look away!"
Silence.
"You died?" I asked, shocked that my little brother died and came back. Realizing who did it, I turned to the cow goddess herself. "Hera..."
Annabeth started to laugh. "At least Jason wasn't turned into a guinea pig like Percy was!"
Now On Different War:
~Nico's Perspective~
Knowing Annabeth, that was her way of stopping a massive fight from breaking out.
"Good job, Annie..." The ghost spoke under their breath behind me.
I blinked, forcing the tears back
"Annabeth!" Percy whined. "We don't talk about that! It only happened once!"
"Wait, Percy was turned into a guinea pig?" Frank asked, confused.
"That explains a lot from when he was getting his memories back." Hazel commented with a small smile.
"My son lost his memory?" Lord Poseidon questioned.
"Yeah, we both lost our memory before we were sent to the other camp." Jason interjected.
"Actually Percy was put to sleep for months before he resurfaced in Camp Jupiter. The Roman camp." I added in seeing the confused looks from the past demigods, excluding the Romans.
"How long?" Annabeth demanded, eyes going red from unshed tears.
"I don't know exactly-"
Annabeth glared at me, then at Percy. He raised his hands defensively. "Hey, this hasn't happened to me yet."
Annabeth rolled her eyes, leaning on Percy.
I smiled slightly.
"What happens to Percy while he's at the Roman camp?" Jason asked, curious about what his cousin had to go through.
"Percy told me that the first thing that happened after he stayed with Lupa is being chased by the two sisters of Medusa."
"A pair of gorgons." Apollo snorted.
Hazel gave the sun god a strange glance. "Frank and I were on sentry duty at the Caldecott Tunnel entrance when Percy came running up with an old lady in his arms."
"At first, I thought he was a Roman God, but it turned out he was only carrying one." Frank continued. "It was hard to watch an amnesiac Percy Jackson talk back to a god as if he had nothing to fear."
"It even looked like Mars was enjoying it. They seemed to have a conversation." Hazel shuddered at the thought.
A snort of laughter came from the spirit. It seemed like Dad didn't notice or doesn't know there is a ghost here that belonged in the underworld...or the future underworld?
"Because of Percy, we won the war games. Something that never happens against the bigger cohorts." Frank smiled at the memory.
"Towards the end of the game, one of the centurions died. She didn't stay dead for long as we quickly found out that Thanatos had been captured." I cut in.
