A/N Well hello noble people, first story and all that jazz, hope you like. Story will be rated T for some mild swearing, lots of violence, executions and a stuffs, there may or may not be a pairing, I will see. Mostly cannon pairings but this is mostly an OC story, you don't like, you don't have to read, starts somewhere around the beginning of Titans curse. Looking for a Beta so if someone is interested and you like this, please PM me, and we shall see if we can arrange it.

Bralus POV:

I was thumbing the fire selector on my Kriss Vector Carbine to full auto mode(Thank the gods for the Hephaestus armourers I have on pay roll) when My first thought when I was out in the snow was? "FUCK IT'S COLD" My second thought while being out in the snow? "I have most definitely had a lot worse". At least I was on a mission though, that was helping me cope with the trouble of having to go through this BS again. I mean really? Now in the middle of winter of all things the gods call on us for a mission. At least they were using us properly, not like back in '45.

We had been scouting this compound of monsters that had just sprung up in central Washington when we spotted a very odd sight. Human mercenaries moving into the compound and adding in guard towers made of cheap, easy to place wood. As well as motion sensitive camera's and lights on the compound. After four days of recon we knew we had to go in and see what the hell was up with this so I called in five additional squads and ordered them to take up positions, as well as having a reserve force of around five in case we needed them with an extraction team in APC's for when we won.

I clicked twice on the commbead on my chest activating unit comms hearing the random chatter from the misc Mortals and demigods under my command."Monster force sighted, 30 telekhine, 30 Dracanae and two lastro giants. A manticore keeps coming in and checking on them, appears to be the one in command but he hasn't been seen in two days. Counting around 3 mortals per tower and at least 10 in the barracks, two patrols of four in the inner compound. external patrols sighted in a 20 metre radius of compound, counting five Dracanae and five Telekhines in each group." I say quickly to my men giving them a rough outline of our opposition, I activate thermal optics on my helmet and activate heat suppression on my armour, clicking twice on my comm to my men. Knowing the call they fall silently into line beside me weapons raised, moving like ghosts. Using the cover of the incredibly dence snow storm we advance surrounding the patrols I click once and we acquire targets hearing a chime of clicks to notify me of targets aquired I nod smiling to myself and my voice a whisper. "Weapons Free." at once twenty bullets of celestial bronze are shot into the heads of the monsters sending them back to the eternal pit.

Stopping the advance with a single click of my comm I switch to broad channel asking my Athena hacker if she has broken into the security grid. Getting a single beep in confirmation I signal to my snipers to acquire targets. Hearing a chorus of "target solutions acquired" I merely click twice and the shots barely a whisper ring out as the mercenaries in the tower are shot and killed with well placed neck shots using shredder rounds making sure they die quickly, and no sound escapes them while they do.

Moving up to the border of the compound my squads in position I order fire team configurations for breaching. Lining up in four teams of three along the barracks wall, and small wooden walls of the compound every other team swapping to celestial bronze magazines and planting breaching charges. "Priority targets are the giants, then humans, watch the flaming cannon balls boys and girls. After that form up and hit the Telekhines with knives and shoot the dracanae archers from a distance. on my go three...two...one. Breach!" With over a dozen explosions in the area around the compound we breached the barracks blowing back a few humans unfortunate enough to be next to the wall. Moving in I shoot a dracanae in the eye causing her to go down in a fit of hisses as she dissolved into monster dust. a Telekhine charges me and attempts to stab me in the guy, dropping to my knees and leg sweeping the beast he falls on his back and I stab him in the heart killing him instantly. Taking out my rifle again two dracanae slither out from their makeshift cover firing arrows at us. I merely laugh as one of their arrows breaks on impact with our armour and we gun them down. The giant however, proves a greater threat launching a fire ball at me and I barely get out of the way in time and watch it explode against the wall behind me, switching to full auto I empty my entire mag into him and watch him crumble into sand. Sweeping the floor and executing any surviving monsters and humans we move into the compound to find four humans still alive.

Walking up to them I see the emblem's on their armour to be Iron Company. Scowling behind my helmet I kick one of them in the face causing him to instantly fall unconscious. Rather pathetic if you asked me. I faced tougher in the war, hell faced tougher in the arena's of Rome. And I know what fighting is like, been through the worst conflicts in history, witnessed the fall of Greece, Rome, the Byzantium empire. All the crusades. And we have always lived on. In his honour, our founder, leader. Our king. I owe it too him to continue the legacy he forged for us, and I aim to make him proud when I eventually meet him and my comrades in arms in Elysium./p

*A mystical Line break or something random to break the tension here*

IC mercenary POV:

Oh holy son of a bitch. It's the Myr Corp. Never actually met these bastards but you hear stories. How three of them are enough to kill an entire company of insurgents or silently ex-filtrate an HVI from a compound in the middle of a desert without killing a soul. Granted though, their power had declined a bit since I joined the Iron Company, we were sent on a job together with them and another company called Red Talon to clean out a very large insurgent stronghold. We cut a secret deal with the insurgents however and killed the entire Myr Corp team sent in, nearly 20 of them died. Unfortunately that leader of there's escaped and in a blind rage killed every last insurgent and Red Talon he could find while we simply ran away. I wasn't there personally but you still hear the stories. Myr Corp. God dammit! crossed spears behind an owl holding that ancient Greek Xiphos sword.

Walking among us and slapping the downed guy beside me to the realm of the conscious. He merely says one sentence. "you have chance, and one chance only to talk or else I am going to kill you all, without remorse. The ones who talk however get to leave this place alive and unharmed by me or my compatriots I swear it on the Styx." Why thunder rumbled in the distance I don't understand when he said this but I found myself believing him regardless.

"We were sent here to set up an FOB for our operations here, apparently there are two young HVI demigods or something like that at a school a few kilometres away from here. The Frenchy was the one in charge here and he kept on saying something about how close they were and how good they smelled or something. We were hired by someone merely calling himself the general and he sent us with those monsters to clear the area and prep extraction, we were to use lethal force to anyone his enemies the Olympians sent a team of demigods to the school to get them out of there before we could move." What? I may be paid a lot of money to kill people but I wasn't paid for loyalty, and quite frankly at that moment in time I valued the potential of living over the definitive proof of death that he promised me. The mercenary in front of me who I assumed was the leader entirely based on his armour and the gear he had laughs and takes out his pistol shooting the other three in the head beside me and holstering it again.

"You may go, I am tired of killing mortals and it doesn't ever get easier no matter how often I do it. As promised neither my men, nor I will harm you this day. However I see you wearing that uniform again? I will shoot you, and I won't miss. Now get out of here, start a family, joina different company. I don't care which. Just get out of my sight." I didn't have to be told twice so I ran to the nearest truck I could, grabbed all the supplies I could find and left the area gunning for the nearest town and swearing to start a new life for myself.

*Sometimes I like having large amounts of venom shot out of a cannon into the skulls of my enemies*

Percy POV(After Annabeth is kidnapped, scene changed to fit this story)

I couldn't believe it, Annabeth was gone? but why? How? One minute she was here and the next she was gone. I stared at the silver clad girls shooting disgusted looks at me, I saw Thalia glaring at the one who had spoken and them looking at Nico with indifference and Bianca with appraising eyes. As if they knew what was about to happen to her and approving of it amongst themselves. Artemis stepped forward as a helicopter armed with machine guns comes into the clearing I see the briefest glimpse of the letters IC on the side in bright gold paint as Artemis raises her hand. "Mortals are not worthy of See-" Before she could finish her sentence a loud crack resounded throughout the forest and something hits the helicopter making it explode with a rather boom sound and crashing in a flaming heap to the ground and from the treeline I see men and a few women walking in a line Athena would be proud of from the forest into the clearing.

Needless to say I think the hunters were a little angry that someone interrupted their goddess and raised their bows and knocked arrows. At the same time the sounds of gun safety's being released as the soldiers raised their guns at them I couldn't see the soldiers faces behind their masks but Artemis looked shocked that someone would stand up to her. Instantly all the hunters minus Artemis are lit up like Christmas tree's from at least two red dots each from lasers coming out of the treeline behind the soldiers as one steps forward and says. "Stand down hunters, loaded with celestial bronze, we can and will kill you. Not here for trouble just making sure the children make it camp safely though seeing one is a girl, I know whats about to happen. lower your weapons and we will lower ours." He says this in an almost respectful tone but the underlying threat..no I am taking that as a promise causes the hunters to look shocked before Artemis motions for them to lower their weapons. The soldiers did the same and the one who talked removed his helmet. He walks up to me and I am SHOCKED. I mean literally shocked. staring into me are green eyes that swirl with power and black unruly hair, but mixed with the eyes is the cold calculating look of Annabeth and the blood chilling feeling of Clarisse.
"Hello little brother." The man says to me, and my world as I knew it was about to end...again.
