A/N: Hey guys. I lost my password for my old account, (NatanIsTheBestCoupleEVER), so I made me a new one. Remember to R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters mentioned in the story.

Annabeth POV

I had absolutely no idea what was going on, which almost never happens to a child of Athena. Today we met with the roman camp at the wolf house for a very important announcement. I don't know what, because only Chiron and Reyna knew, and they haven't clued anyone in yet. We were still waiting for them to make the announcement.

Narrator POV

Chiron stomped his hoof on the pavement and the entire place quieted down. He cleared his throat and started. "You all are probably wondering why you are all gathered here. Well for some of you, your training will be put to the test today in... a battle royal!"

There were scattered murmurs, cheers, and arguing. They started to get riled up, but Chiron stomped his hoof again and the arena calmed down. "Today's contestants will be... the boys!"

Cheering exploded out from the boys while complaints came from the girls. But Chiron raised his voice so he could be heard over the ruckus. "Tomorrow, will be the girls turn, but for now, back to the boys. There will be six competitors, all of whom will enter the arena at one point in time. All contestants shall be allowed whatever items/powers they carry. Is this understood?"

One boy called out from roman side. "Um, who'll be competing?"

Chiron scanned the faces in the crowd. "Any male hero or creature can volunteer. If there are none, then they shall be chosen. So... any volunteers ready to step in the arena?"

There was dead silence as everybody looked at each other. Suddenly, the entire place rumbled and a bright light filled the room, blinding everybody except Dionysus, who kept flickering back and forth between his roman form and his Greek one. When the light subsided, Mr. D wasn't the only god in the room anymore. The entire arena knelt in front of the other 11 Olympians, Hades, and Hestia.

Chiron rose and looked to the crowd. "Did I forget to mention that the gods will be attending this event?"

All of the gods kept changing between their forms. But they each conjured up a throne in a 'U' shape around the arena and waited for someone to volunteer.

Just then, the shadows thickened around the top of the ceiling and a figure materialized, dropping onto the stage next to Chiron and attracting everyone's attention.

Chiron POV

"Nico. I take it your going to compete?"

He shook his head. "Not just compete, Chiron. I'm going to win." I saw Hades nod in approval at his son, while Bianca's spirit and Hazel gazed on worriedly.

I nodded and looked amongst the sea of heroes, seeing if anyone else would be brave enough to compete. "Anyone else?"

My question was answered by a mini tornado coming from the roman side. It reached the stage in a matter of seconds, dissolving until none other than Jason Grace stood there. "Jason Grace, at your service."

His presence must've provoked Zeus's roman side because he changed to Jupiter. The lord of the sky had on an awesome pokerface, but his head was held high with pride. Thalia, on the other hand, was gripping her bow nervously. Piper sat next to her on the bleachers. She was so upset, she had to charmspeak herself. Jason nodded reassuringly and went to go stand next to Nico. "Any others?"

I barely finished my sentence when the lagoon erupted into a huge, frothy, tsunami. Everyone stared accusingly at Poseidon. He put his hands up in defense. "What? That wasn't me."

Nico raised an eyebrow. "If it wasn't Poseidon, then that leaves only one person with that kind of power..."

I knew where he was going with that and our suspicions were confirmed as a laugh came from the crest of the wave. Everyone looked up to see Percy afloat at the top. "Guilty as charged Chiron. Since Zeus and Hades are already being spoken for by my cousins, it's only natural that all of the big three are represented."

He willed the water to carry him to the stage, making it bend over the crowd like an arch, not letting a single drop hit anyone (except Octavian, whom Percy drenched with ice cold water).

Percy reached the stage and turned his attention to the river of water. He willed it to freeze and then shattered it into tiny shards of ice, which evaporated quickly.

He turned to his dad who gave him a big thumbs up. Next to him, Tyson had on a huge grin while waving a banner, stamped with a trident, back and forth. Annabeth waved from her seat next to the other girls, trying to be supportive. But she was filled with worry for her boyfriend. Percy smiled and took his place next to Nico and Jason.

I nodded in approval at the competitors. I had a feeling they would volunteer. "Next!"

There was a moment of silence as the heroes looked amongst each other. Obviously, they had some seriously tough competition. I mean, the children of the big three? Opposing them would most likely be suicide.

I was so lost in thought, that I didn't even notice the meteor coming out of the sky until it was about a few hundred yards away. It soon caught everyone's attention.

Mars stood up and drew his bow. "I'll take care of this. No need to panic people."

He was about to take the shot, when a fireball flew at his bow and incinerated it. Everyone turned to see Hephaestus, his arm outstretched and his hand smoking. He blew his hand and glared at his brother. "You are not gonna shoot my son out of the sky. Not if I have anything to say about it."

Jason laughed while the other two boys grinned. "Leo?"

The inferno reached the stage in a matter of seconds. The flames dissipated and in it's place, stood Leo. He raised his hand in a salute. "Son of Hephaestus, reporting for duty."

Hephaestus's eyes shone with pride, making Leo grin.

Mars grumbled about his favorite bow being destroyed, but he eventually settled down.

Leo stood next to the others, and I turned back to the crowd. "There's four champions. We still need two more. Are there anymore volunteers?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the crowd part for a figure. As soon as he reached the stage, I saw who it was.

Narrator POV

Chiron nodded. "Ah. Frank. Come."

Frank knelt before his dad Mars, whose eyes glowed brightly behind his glasses. Then he went to stand next to the other guys. Hazel must've been taking it hard. Her brother, and the two boys she liked were about to duel.

Chiron scanned the sea of people. "Is this it?"

Apollo cleared his throat, earning everyone's undivided attention. "May I make a suggestion? There are already 5 heroes. How about a creature? Maybe a dryad? Or perhaps a Cyclops?"

He glanced in Tyson's direction but Poseidon shook his head. "Your not gonna put my sons against each other, whereas you don't have any competing."

Percy grinned. Some of the campers started to snicker, but Apollo turned in their direction and they wisely shut up.

Apollo looked like he wanted to say more, bout Zeus intervened. "Continue Chiron."

I nodded. "As I was saying..."

I stopped as I noticed a figure pushing it's way through the crowd. When it reached the front, it was none other than Gleeson Hedge, the fight- hungry satyr himself. He looked as if someone was giving away a lifetime's supply of recycled cans. "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!"

Annabeth crossed her arms over her chest. "Um coach? You do know that you'll be fighting the boys right?"

Coach scratched his beard, apparently just noticing who his opponents would be. "Oh. Um... never mind. Forget I said anything."

The old satyr shrank back into the crowd. I sighed. As I was thinking about who to pick, a horn sounded in the distance. (You'd think they would've been done with the dramatic entrances by now.) The crowds parted once again as a chariot made it's way to the stage.

Everyone was shocked, except Apollo since he sees into the future, to find who the head figure was.

Narrator POV

Percy rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Grover? Your gonna compete?"

Grover gave him a warm smile. "Don't worry Perce. I promise to go easy on you."

He bowed to Artemis and then turned to Chiron. "I volunteer Chiron." Juniper looked ready to pass out.

Nico raised an eyebrow. "Uh... you sure Grover? You don't exactly strike me as a fighter, no offense."

Grover nodded in agreement. "True. But as a lord of the wild, it's my duty to protect all wild creatures."

Chiron nodded and clapped his hands together. "The six warriors have been chosen! Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades; Jason Grace, son of Jupiter; Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon; Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus; Frank Zhang, son of Mars; and Grover Underwood, Lord of the Wild."

Chiron stomped his hoof three times on the ground and a big plasma monitor appeared. On the screen showed six cards with a picture of each opponent. "Contestants will be randomly chosen to fight against one another. So without further delay, here are the match ups!"

The cards flipped over and shuffled themselves as if by an invisible dealer. After a minute, they finally settled. Anxiety coursed through everyone as they waited to see the match ups. And the line up was...

A/N: Sorry about the cliffie guys, but I had to so that you guys could review and post what match ups you want. I have a pretty good idea of the matches, but I could easily be persuaded depending on the number of requests. Well? Get reviewing! Thanks guys!
