#honestly??? theres like a hyperrealistic scene in my head where they sit and talk to a sleeping gaea and theyre like 'oh god what if shes

[bunkernine]

this evil lost trio au is utter nonsense and a complete mess but i thought i should blab it anyway, because i really do like the sound of my own voice.

okay okay so that scene in tlh where leo gets thrown off the skywalk in the grand canyon (which lmao) and instead gaea is way more awake and just, idk, takes him. like, he just dissolved in quicksand, and that's that. coach hedge is super shocked but he's got 2 other demigods, but he's freaking out because the council was right and he lost one of his charges. and then when piper gets thrown over, jason knows he could fly because of his gut feeling- and for a second he DOES fly, but my dude has been sleeping for like 3 months so he hesitates and they both disappear like leo did. hedge still gets taken by those venti, and then annabeth and butch come but are super confused because hedge is missing and there's a bunch of scared high schoolers on a bus but no demigods (or percy lol).

anyway next scene, jasonpiperleo are in like some funky monster club underground, and it's confusing as HELL. anyway, some pretty lady comes and she explains that their demigods but does NOT explain the prophecy. she leads them to some secret tunnel and like a throne room, except the set-up is straight out of snow white. there's some sleeping lady in some casket, and the lady (the lady is Medea because medea is 💅) says some crap about the sleeping woman being mother earth and how gaea is so angry at the humans ruining the earth and everything, but Medea, that sly bitch, is charmspeaking them as she goes along, and the lost trio are just like "mhm. yeah makes sense". they get freaking swindled, thinking gaea is benevolent and she just wants to heal the world, and they HAVE to make sure the open the doors of death to help

this works on leo, because it means that the only one who he cares about (his mom) has a chance of being brought back. he's failed to make the connection between gaea and dirt face, because the thought of seeing his mom again is just. everything. (also anytime he's close to making the connection gaea acts all nice again and the poor kid keeps getting charmspoken to anyway). jason and piper are most skeptical because the plan isn't adding up, but gaea's thought ahead. she already has piper's dad and with some of the beautiful abuse of mist and just lying, she's convinced piper that the gods took her dad and gaea got tristan mclean for her, because she loves piper. anyway, gaea tells jason that his memories were taken by hera (not a lie), and that jason was abandoned (not a lie either), and that the gods abandoned their kids (not. a. lie.), and that jason was just a pawn to the gods (not a lie!!!), but for gaea? jason means everything and she loves him so so so much, and she will give him everything.

thelosttrio learn more about their powers from the various monsters that they would've encountered in tlh. the giants with leo, medea with piper, venti with jason. lit teaches them fighting because camp half blood sure didn't. midas, khione, and medea are just there for a good time tbh, they throw monster raves or something. as a result, thelosttrio, blinded with lies and the grooming and manipulative abuse of gaea have basically created a family with villains and don't even know it :O. ngl, some of the villains are having their own crisis because some are thinking "is it really right to trick these kids like this? does this make sense?"

NOW MY WHOLE THING ABOUT THIS IS what happens to the prophecy? idk the seven never joined up lol, so i guess "to storm or fire the world fell". in all honesty, piper's the one to probably figure it all out (maybe too late) and it hurts that thelosttrio now have to turn against this family they created. they've also had this idea that the gods are bad funneled into their minds constantly, and they don't understand how any of the 7 could ever fight for the gods. annabeth (🙄) is all "duh we KNOW but you're doing this wrong", and then she thinks it over like "huh. why ARE we fighting for the gods" because she remembers luke and what he fought for.

huh.

anyway the world goes to hell, because the prophecy was completely dependent on thelosttrio in the first place soooooo gaea won because she got to them before they even knew what a demigod was lol. it's called the lost hero/the lost trio because damn, the world just lost three heroes at that grand canyon trip
