⚔️ The Moment Everything Died
Early timeline: Just as Percy and Annabeth are starting to date, still young, barely trained.
On a mission, Luke betrays them — ambushes them when they're vulnerable.
In front of Percy, he kills Annabeth—slowly, deliberately, and with a smile.
When Percy lunges, Luke takes his sword arm—clean cut, savage, and personal.
Percy is left in the dirt, covered in Annabeth's blood, his own arm lying feet away.
> "You were never meant to be a hero, Perseus. You were meant to suffer."

🧊 Percy Didn't Shatter. He Froze.
He doesn't cry. He doesn't scream. Something inside Percy dies in that moment.
The next time anyone sees him, he's not the same.
The sea in his eyes is frozen. His silence is more terrifying than any roar.
Percy stops caring about Olympus, gods, or destiny.
Now? His life has one purpose: vengeance.

🛠️ Forging the Monster
Cabin 9 (Hephaestus kids): Percy storms in and makes one demand:
> "Rebuild me. Or I'll find someone who will."
Terrified or inspired, they create a brutal prosthetic arm:
Reinforced celestial bronze, volcanic steel base.
Hydraulic joints, hidden blade, and pulse generators.
Can smash monster bones, crush shields, or punch through stone.
But he doesn't stop there.
> "I'm done playing fair."

💉 Forced Evolution
Percy demands physical modification:
Enhanced muscle density, nervous reflex accelerants, monster-crafted combat enhancements.
Pain inhibitors so he never hesitates in battle.
His training becomes torture: sleepless nights, nonstop combat drills, extreme conditioning.
No magic. No Egyptian nonsense. No gods. Just pain, metal, and hate.

🔫 The Arsenal
Percy abandons the idea of being a "noble swordfighter."
He comes back with guns, death, and fury.
Weapons of Choice:
🔫 Two celestial bronze pistols, semi-auto, custom-fitted, inscribed with hydra-venom runes.
💥 Double-barrel sawed-off shotgun, loaded with Greek Fire-infused shells, mixed with Cyclops-forged shrapnel.
⚔️ Short blade forged from Medusa's petrified blood, used for close and slow kills.
He only brings out Riptide when someone deserves a clean death—which is rare.

😶 The Personality Shift
Percy becomes quiet, cold, calculated.
Jokes? Gone. That boy drowned with Annabeth.
He doesn't speak unless it's to give an order… or a warning.
He's not a hero. He's a weapon now.
> "They wanted to break me.
They just gave me a reason to tear their world apart."

💀 Brutality Beyond Mortal Limits
Any demigod or monster siding with Kronos?
They don't die quickly. They die screaming.
Percy tortures information out of enemies, leaves entire battlefields soaked in blood.
Titans? He doesn't kill them with a sword.
He shoots out their knees, crushes their heads, or drowns them in their own ichor.
> "I don't want your surrender.
I want your suffering."

😨 Reactions
Camp Half-Blood: Split between awe and fear.
They don't call him "Seaweed Brain" anymore. They call him:
The Maelstrom
The One-Armed Reaper
Poseidon's Mistake
Chiron? Heartbroken. But powerless.
Grover? Won't speak to him anymore.
Thalia? Tries to stop him once — Percy nearly breaks her jaw.
Poseidon? Silent. Watching his son become something the gods can't control.
Luke? Finally afraid.

🧨 Final Verdict
Luke tried to break Percy Jackson by taking the two things he loved most:
His sword arm… and Annabeth.
But instead, he created something worse than a demigod.
He made a monster with a mind of steel, an arm of bronze, and a heart full of hellfire.
