Chapter 1 - A Family Reunion

Author's note:

Hey! I am back. This is a rewrite of my story Elite of Chaos. This one has the same name (but I may change it later).

A few notes: I am a slow updater. Since it is vacation right now, I think I can do once a week. However, when school starts I will be busy so it might be once a month. Just have patience and bear with me :). I promise I will deliver and that you will like.

If you want to know how I write, read the first version of Elite of Chaos; it will give you a taste of my writing style and have an idea of what the beginning of this story will be like.

Now, I forgot this in my first story but I got the idea for Elite of Chaos from Knights of Chaos by wacko12. Credits go to him/her for inspiring me.

3rd person POV

Percy put his arms around Hazel and Frank and together they walked towards the Field of Mars where the 'spaceship' was going to land.

"Come on, let's go meet my other family," Percy said. His face glowed with happiness and it was obvious he was excited to meet his Greek friends/family.

"Thanks Percy," Hazel said, from under his left arm. Percy's face scrunched up in confusion.

"For what?" he asked. Hazel smiled.

"You said other family, which means you consider us family as well. Thanks for that," Hazel replied and moved closer into his side.

"Of course I consider you my family! Frank is practically my brother and you are like the little sister I never had," Percy replied.

It was true. Percy had gotten close to Hazel and Frank over the time spent during their quest.

They got off the Via Praetoria (AN: this is like the main road in Camp Jupiter) and onto the grass towards the Field of Mars. Percy noticed something poking him in the back; it seemed soft (AN: Get your minds outta the gutter) and…

He grinned when he figured out what it was.

"You know I can feel you holding hands behind my back," Percy said. Frank and Hazel blushed and quickly let go of each other's hands.

Percy looked at Frank, grinning mischievously. "Took you long enough, didn't it?"

"Hey!" Frank said, blushing. "I just had to get my feelings in order."

Percy laughed. "C'mon! It was obvious that you liked each other!"

Hazel scoffed. "As if you would know anything about love!"

"Of course I do. I am Percy Jackson, love guru extraordinaire!" Percy said.

The three laughed at Percy's antics.

Percy POV

All five cohorts had gathered in the Field of Mars to await the arrival of the Greeks. They weren't wearing the full armour, just the breastplate. It was my idea to not wear full armour. This way the Greek demigods onboard the ship would know that the we didn't mean to attack them. Of course, the moment I proposed the idea, Octavian spouted his usual nonsense; stuff about how this would make the legion vulnerable against the Greeks and how I was just making it easier for the Graecus to attack them. I just ignored him.

The Romans were getting restless. The tension in the air was almost tangible. The last time the Romans and Greeks had met; it had resulted in a civil war. I had to admit I was scared. How would my Greek family react? I had gotten my entire memory back so I remembered Annabeth, Nico, Thalia, Chiron, Tyson, Grover and everyone else.

"Look! There is the ship," shouted one of the campers from the crowd, derailing my train of thought. I looked up and…

...I was astounded! It was understatement to call it a ship. Don't get me wrong; it was a ship, but it was also much more.

It was huge. Huge as in it looked to be almost 50 metres long. It's bronze hull gleamed in the sunlight with a sheen similar to gold. There was also a weird masthead; it looked like the head of the monster but I couldn't make out what it really was. As it flew closer, the thrusters on the underside that helped it fly came into sight. The shape of the 'ship' looked very familiar; I had a nagging feeling that I had seen something like this before. What was it? It had something to do with Arg...

Argon? No, that wasn't it.

Argyle? Nope, not even close.

Aachooo!* Where did that come from?

Gargoyle? Nah, those were the freaky demon-like things on old buildings.

Argo? Yes! That was it! It looked just like the Argo (AN: I don't know if Argo II looks like the Argo; but just pretend for the sake of my story) that Jason and the Argonauts salied in - don't be surprised. I only know about them because Annabeth insisted that I try to learn at least some Greek history.

The Argo II was a trireme - once again, I only know this because of Annabeth - but instead of the oars, this one had cannons mounted on the sides.

The ship slowly descended on the Field of Mars. I moved to the front as it was my duty, along with Reyna, to lead and represent the Twelfth Legion. The ship landed rather roughly, causing a loud thump. I grimaced; Octavian would easily see that as a weakness of the Greeks and would exploit it. A rough landing like that wouldn't make a difference to the Greeks; they would probably laugh it off. But not the Romans. With the Romans, everything had to be orderly. A mistake could be considered a weakness. That was the Roman way.

We waited; everyone was holding their breath. I just hoped that Octavian wouldn't try something now. If the Greek demigods felt threatened, I was sure they would defend themselves.

I was getting restless. I had got all of my memory back so I was confident I would recognise everyone on the ship. I missed everyone. I missed home. The camp, the cabin, the mess hall, Mr. D and his insistence on not remembering our names, the threat of harpies eating us after curfew and most importantly, I missed my Wise Girl. I missed holding her, kissing her; I missed our walks on the beach, I missed running my hands through her hair. I missed her calling me Seaweed Brain. I missed everything about her.

A flap opened up on the side of the Argo II and a boy with blond hair came out. I heard Reyna gasp next to me, the guy was probably Jason. But I wasn't bothered by that. I was looking at the person who out after Jason.

A girl.

A girl with curly, blonde hair and stormy grey eyes.

My girlfriend.

I was going to meet her after 8 months.

My Wise Girl.

Author's Note

*Aachooo = This is meant to be a sneeze.

Soo..how did you like the first chapter? Since this is a rewrite of my Elite Of Chaos of story, this one will mildy follow that storyline. This Son of Neptune beginning is just way for me to set up a way for Percy to meet Chaos.

This will not follow Mark of Athena. Percy will not be there to finish The Great Prophecy/Prophecy of Seven.

There will be a massive time jump (200 years).

Once again, I am a slow updater. Just be patient :)
