Kansas
Percy's POV
"Charge! Leave no survivors, kill the Greeks" I heard a roman commander shout, I was hiding behind a big boulder, and me and a small army consisting of about 80 campers were in an open wheat field, somewhere in Kansas. I was leading the army in a fight against the Romans, we have been in war with them for five years now, and right now we were fighting for a potentially base spot, giving us an advantage against them. Both the Greeks and the Roman knew that whoever held the middle of the United States would have and huge advantage over the other, mostly because Kansas was a huge trade route for the Romans, and if we can capture it then the Roman would lose a lot of supplies.
We were attacking some roman convoy carrying the supplies, when we were ambushed by about 100 Roman, maybe more I didn't really get a good look. As far as I can tell are casualties were low, but that didn't really help are problem, they had us surrounded. I had to do something are we would lose a lot of people; I closed my eyes to concentrate and thought of the perfect idea. I raised my wrist and in spoke in to the watch Tyson gave me, it had been upgraded since the war to be used as a walkie-talkie so I can communicate with the rest of my team.
"Conner, Conner do you copy!" I spoke in to it waiting for a response, "Yea Percy, I copy. What's the plan? The Romans will be attacking soon" he spoke back. "Conner wasn't there a river not too far from here that we saw on the way here?" I spoke into my watch, I swear I could feel him smile on the other side of the communicator, "I get you drift, and let me guess you need a distraction" he replied. "Take the forces and charge the Romans, when I give the signal retreat into the trees" I said with a smile, "Copy that sir" he said before ending the conversation.
I slowly slid from behind the boulder carefully not to alert the Romans, I peeked around the side. Conner had grown so much, he not's the annoying prankster that would steal something every chance he got, wars changed him, it's changed everyone really. I waited to I saw Conner and the rest of my forces charge the Roman with a war cry, I soon as the two sides collided I took off. It was hard to run with the equipment I was wearing, I had black white bronze camouflage armor covering, my chest, back, forearm, and had a star right over my heart, just like the rest of the Greek army. I also had a belt, on it was a compartment for pills that soon as I ate them they would give me the strength as if I was in the water, they were specialized for me. I told Annabeth I didn't need armor because of my Achilles curse, but she kept insisting that I wear it; I had sunglasses on that had mirror lenses, to cover up my eyes.
The reason for me wearing them is because I'm the Greeks secret weapon, if no one can see my eyes then they won't know I'm here. The river was still a few meters away; I had to pass through a couple boulders to get to it. Right before I entered an arrow came whizzing right pass my face from my left; I looked to my left seeing four Romans charging me. They wore leather armor that varies in colors; they all had helmets on so I couldn't see their faces. Two of them had swords, and the other two were obviously kids of Apollo because they both had bows, with arrows notched in them. "Freeze Greek" one of the guys with the sword said, I took off running towards the boulders I was almost behind one, when one of the guys tackled me from behind.
I elbowed him in the face and rolled him off me; I hopped onto my feet and took out riptide and activated my watch shield. By time I got up they had surround me, I waited for one of them to charge me, it was one of the ones with a sword. He swung at my head, but I ducked under it and lifted him over my head using my shield, the second one charged and let go a fury of strikes, I blocked all of them with my sword and managed to knock his helmet off with my shield but he knocked me on the ground by kicking me in the chest.
The guy tried to stomp me but I rolled onto my feet and side stepped a swing from his sword and when he went passed me; I was about to slash at his face but, I stop when I saw the fear in his eyes as my sword neared his face. I turned my sword at the last moment so the flat of it crack him in the face knocking him to the floor, his sword flying near one of the other Romans I didn't like killing people, especially demi-gods. Roman or not they were still demi-gods and I wouldn't kill unless I absolutely had to. The guy stumbled backward in held his nose in pain, but he wasn't knocked out, I was grabbed from behind and put in a headlock, the two guards with the bow and arrow came up and pointed their arrows at my face. They threw my shield and sword a few feet away before the guy that was in front of me punched me in the face, "Your coming with us Greek" he said as he took his hand away from his nose, it was bent to the side and was throbbing, and a slow stream of blood slipped out of it.
I looked up and smiled a little, "You know what makes us Greeks so dangerous to you Romans?" He looked surprised at me saying that, "I wouldn't call you Greeks dangerous to us, you Greeks no nothing of teamwork. That's why you were caught by us, if you had had teammates with you, maybe we wouldn't have captured you" he said cockily, which was hard to do with a broken noise. "Nope it's because we're trained to fight multiple enemies 4 on 1 easy." I said, he punched me in the face again, it hurt but I knew it wouldn't leave a mark because of my Achilles curse, "You think you can take us all on at once?" he asked me getting quite angry. I notice a bit of movement behind the guy in front of me, I smirk "Why would I have to do that when I'm not alone" I said as a fist came from behind the guy punching him in the face knocking him on the floor a few feet away.
That took the rest of the Romans by surprise so I was able to flip the one that had me in a headlock over my shoulder, he hit the ground with thud and I think I heard a crack. One of the ones with the arrows jumped back and shot an arrow at me, I ran straight into it without stopping the arrow breaking into pieces as it made contact with my skin. I reeled my fist back and punched the guy in the face, he fell to the ground sliding back a few feet, I saw him start drooling and knew he was unconscious
I turned around to see the guy that punched the commander guy in the face, he was a little shorter than me, and he look about 18-19 and he was well-built and he had olive color hair with pale skin. I knew immediately that it was Nico Di Angelo son of Hades fighting the other archer, he slid under an arrow that was shot at him, and he slid right under the guy legs popping up behind him. The guy swung his sword at Nico and he blocked with his own sword, while the guy was still turned around I ran forward and punched him in the back of the head knocking him unconscious.
Nico looked at me with a smile, "Thanks bro" I said as I rubbed his head like he was my little brother ruffling his black hair, "No problem, even though you would have been dead if wasn't for me" he said playfully punching me in the arm putting a crocked smile on his face. "Yea right, I could've taken them easily" I said laughing a little, "Well you better get back to your plan or whatever your doing right now" he said handing my shield, "I don't think are forces can hold out much longer" he said his face growing serious again, it was good to share a quick laugh now and again. I quickly nodded at him and was about to run to the lake again when another arrow was shot at us, I looked back to see five Romans running at us.
"Go I got them" Nico said yelling, I looked at him for a second before running off toward the lake, I took a quick glance back to see Nico and 4 skeletons engage the Romans. I finally came to be in front of the lake, I started concentrating until I felt that familiar pull in my gut. The lake slowly rose up and became a huge wave stuck in motion; I kept one arm up to control the wave and raised my watch arm to my face. "Conner Now" I shouted into my communicator, raising my other hand lifting the wave into the air and threw it with all my strength toward the battle, I fell to my knees trying to catch my breath. I touched the side of my sunglasses making them go into binocular mode and watch as my forces climbed into trees as the Roman forces were washed away.
I smiled and took a deep sigh of relief, I reached unto my belt and took one of the special pills and felt the energy flow through me instantaneously. My watch started beeping; I clicked on a button answering it, "Percy here". "Nice going Percy, you flooded every single of those Roman bastards on the field" Conner said happily, "Yea, any casualties". I waited a few seconds before he responded, Conner finally answer back with a sigh, "Dammit, Percy the only person recorded missing is Nico", my heart stopped as he said those words. I got up and took off to the spot where I last saw him, he can't be gone dammit, I was supposed to protect him.
I promised his sister I would protect him no matter what, I ran as fast as I could, finally seeing a unconscious Nico being loaded on to a Roman chariot being carried by Pegasus, by a Roman commander and one of his subordinates. I could tell the guy was a commander because he was wearing a purple cape over his shoulders, his chest was decorated with medals, his sword was strapped to his side and his helmet was made of imperial gold. I kept running as fast as I could, I ran past the broken skeletons, and a couple knocked out Romans, "Stop" I yelled at the pair. They both turned around and looked at me, the commander pointed towards me and his friend charged at me.
I was blinded by rage as he was wielding Nico's sword, so when we finally came close he raised his sword on top of me, but I was quicker than him and unfortunately for him stronger as well. I brought my fist up to his stomach with the same strength I would use to cause an earthquake, as soon as my fist made contact with his leather armor I heard some cracking sounds, before he flew backward about 10ft and when he hit the ground he was still sliding in the dirt and finally stop at his commanders feet. I saw the blood slowly start dripping from the side of his mouth, Nico's sword landed right next to him.
I never stopped charging, the Roman commander reached down and touched his friend's neck, he stood back up angrily before yanking his helmet off and threw it into his chariot. He had sandy blonde hair and electric blue eyes; he had a small scar above his lip and had an angry look on his face. He reached his arm up and a lighting bolt formed in it and he threw it at me with amazing speed, I barely had time to form a small hurricane around me before I was struck in the chest and I was sent flying back. The pain was excruciating, and smelled my armor burning, I was hurt bad, I started to see spots in my visions, I sat myself a bit to see the face of the son of Jupiter who was getting back into his chariot and taking off, to remember that he was the one that had Nico before I lost consciousness.
What do you think so far had to make a few changes to the first chapter, a three way war interesting right, reviews wanted, flames and thoughts accepted but keep them PG-13 people?
