Chaos' vanguard
Chapter 1
Percy Jackson opened the door to see the entire camp chasing Nico and Thalia across the strawberry fields. The mob of people was being led by Heracles.
To explain this you had to go back a few months.
When Heracles had joined the camp a few months ago, he had made it his life's ambition to get rid of the three people that were thought of as the most powerful demigods. He had got his arrogance from his father and namesake Heracles. These were Thalia, Nico and Percy. He had started it off when Thalia quit the hunters. He had seen this as a threat to his popularity. He tried to make life difficult for them at every opportunity.
There was a sound of a sword being drawn. Percy looked up to see his two best friends being advanced on by the campers, including Annabeth his girlfriend.
Percy ran down the slope to try to stop this.
"Heracles, stop this, you are going too far."
"This, coming from the third betrayer of Olympus. We all know that you were a spy for Gaia. All three of you were."
"What are you talking about?"
"You were the three who betrayed Olympus and you shall pay." Heracles yelled.
Percy nodded at Nico and he shadow travelled himself and Thalia out of there. Percy did his best taxi cab whistle and Blackjack dived down and Percy flew off.
When he landed at Zeus' fist he saw the other two waiting for him.
"Where to now Perce?" Thalia asked.
"We need to get out of here as soon as we can. Nico and Thalia you get on Mrs O'Leary, I will remain on Blackjack." Right on cue Mrs O'Leary ran up to Percy and gave him a big sloppy kiss.
Three weeks later
Percy, Thalia and Nico ran through the cave. They had come to another dead end.
They heard the subtle footsteps of the hunters coming after them. Athena in her rage at the betrayal had forced Artemis to take the hunters to hunt the three down. Their fathers would 'obviously' be biased.
They ran back the way they had come. They heard a slip and a curse as a hunter had slipped on a rock.
They stumbled down another tunnel. They had to crouch lower and lower as it got smaller. Percy going last could hear the Hunters coming down to the crossroads that they had just left. When they finally managed to squeeze through they saw a man waiting for them. They drew their respective weapons and looked at him.
"You have nothing to fear from me children. I have in fact come with a proposition."
"What is your name?" Nico asked cautiously.
"My name is Chaos."
Thalia gasped. "What is your proposition sir?"
"I would like you three to join my army. You each have the potential for greatness."
They looked at each other. Percy nodded and was quickly followed by Nico and then eventually be Thalia.
5 years later.
"Hey, Perce, throw the remote. I need to check Hephestus TV. Apparently there is another Aphrodite and Ares date on camera." Nico said.
Percy lobbed it at him. He looked around the room at the group of five in their vanguard of Chaos. They were the elite in the army. Firstly there was Nico. He had been given the ring of the dead. Thalia had been given the ring of the sky. Helios the not so faded god had been given the ring of fire. There was Dan who had the ring of earth and nature and then there was Percy who had the rings of the Ocean and of power.
The five of them were the elite in Chaos' forces. They were some of the most powerful beings. They had been training for 500 years under chaos as time passed differently in Chaos' realm.
The three of them had been brought to find Helios and Dan (son of Gaia and Pan, A long, long story). They had immediately been thrust into training and now were resting up for their next mission. The rings they each possessed increased the potential for powers dramatically. The gaining of the powers was all done by the five themselves.
Percy looked at the TV screen as they saw Aphrodite and Ares getting covered in a bright pink mist that made them look like Disney characters. Nico was smirking but Dan was rolling on the floor while clutching his stomach. Helios was holding back a smile and Thalia was prodding Nico to try and make him laugh.
There was a buzz as the screen was changed to Chaos' face. I need you in my office for a meeting about your next mission.
They got up and left the room Dan still trying to hold back tears of laughter at the sight of a Disney Ares.
When they arrived outside the office they filed in one at a time.
"What do you want us to do?"
"You are to return to your home planet." Chaos raised his hand to stop the cries of complaint.
"I need you to help the gods." There is a mutiny that is backed by Gaia and Uranus. I have no doubt that some of my other children will be supporting them as well."
"Who are the mutineers?" Percy asked.
"Ares and the other war gods and goddesses such as Phobos and Deimos."
"Does the other Olympians know of this mutiny?"
"Yes they have just found out."
"What do we need to do?"
"I need you five to go down and to stop the rebellion before my children get control of the earth."
"No offence lord, but can't you do it yourself?" Dan asked.
"I could but I am unwilling to go up against my own children. On the other hand I do not want them to gain control as the current Gods are far better rulers."
"Fair enough sir."
After saying their thanks they filed back out of the room.
"Damn it I had hoped no to have to see father again." Nico said.
"Yeah, it will be weird seeing dad again." Thalia said.
"Will we need code names?"
"Yeah I guess we will."
They looked at Percy. "Thalia you can be Highrise, Nico Deadlock, Helios volcano, Dan Quake and I shall be chief." They nodded affirmation.
They walked towards the armoury and got into their red, black, lightning blue, dark green and sea green respectively. They then went to the stables where Blackjack, Mrs O'Leary and a bright white stallion sacred to Helios named flare.
Each animal was then brought to the ship that they would be taking to the earth.
They got on to the ship and made their way to earth.
