Chapter 1: Making teams
"Hello, and welcome to island showdown, in this 9 week summer camp 24 different minors will compete for a prize of 5 thousand dollars." The host said, "I'm the host, Lucas Mills."
Lucas looked through a telescope and saw a ship coming.
"Ah and here come to contestants now."
The boat landed, and 24 people stepped off of the ship, it then left and the minors looked around at their new surroundings. The camp was rather basic, two cabins one for each team, two sides to each cabin for boys and for girls, and a dining hall run by the chief/co-host. The forest was directly next to and all around the cabins, and basically they were standing on the dock, there was a fire pit, and a beach. They knew it would be interesting.
"I am about to announce the teams, if I call your name go stand on the other side of the dock." Lucas said.
"Bart Allen."
Bart walked over to the other side of the dock.
"Cassie Sandsmark."
Cassie walked over and stood next to Bart.
"Tim Drake."
Tim walked over and joined his friends.
"Corner Kent."
Corner walked over and stood next to the others.
"Chase Stein."
Chase and Old Lace walked over and stood next to the others.
"Molly Hayes."
Molly walked over and stood next to chase, smiling.
"Calypso."
Calypso walked over and stood on the other side of the dock.
"Leo Valdez."
Leo walked over and stood next to Calypso.
"Star Butterfly."
Star walked over to join her new team.
"Nico Minoru."
Nico walked over and stood next to Chase.
"Henry Mills."
Henry walked over and stood next to the others.
"And Karolina Dean."
Karolina went and stood next to Molly and Chase.
"You 12 campers will now make up the team known as, the Blue Brigade."
The Blue brigade looked at their team members, some with suspicion, others with friendliness.
"As for the rest of you."
"Reynie Muldoon, Kate Weatherall, Sticky Washington, Constance Contraire, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Frank zhang, Hazel Levesque, Nico Di Angelo, and Will Solace. You will now make up the team known as the Red ravagers."
The new teams looked at each other, determining that these were fair teams.
"Your first challenge starts in 20 minutes, get yourselves situated in your cabins. Blue Brigade, you get the west cabin, Red Ravagers, you get the east cabin."
The Blue brigade walked to their cabin and picked their beds. Chase, Bart, Tim, Leo, Henry, and Corner were talking with each other and learning their strengths.
"So, Chase, may I ask why you have a dinosaur with you?" Leo said.
"It's a complicated story, but Old Lace wouldn't hurt anyone unless I was in danger." Chase replied.
"Can you control it?" Leo said, eyeing Old Lace.
"Sort of, I can ask her to do things but she has a free will. We have a telepathic and empathic link so if one of us gets hurt we both feel it." Chase explained.
"Well, as long as she won't attack us I suppose its fine. So what do you guys think the first challenge will be?" Tim said, trying to change the topic.
"No telling, but it's probably going to be difficult." Henry said.
The girls of the Blue Brigade were having a similar conversation.
"So what is that?" Karolina asked, pointing at Star's magic wand.
"Oh it's just my wand." Star explained.
"Out of curiosity Karolina why is your skin so many different colors?" Cassie asked.
"Because she's an alien!" Molly replied.
"An Alien?" Calypso asked.
"Technically yes, I am an alien. But I was born on earth and I have lived here all my life." Karolina explained.
"Well that is certainly interesting, but I wonder what we are gonna have to do for the first challenge." Cassie asked.
"No telling." Nico replied.
In the red Ravagers cabin all of their team were meeting together to determine how they would go up against the other team.
"Alright guys, what are your strengths?" Annabeth asked the four she did not know.
"I have an eidetic memory." Stick said.
"I have my bucket." Kate said.
"What's in it?" Piper asked.
"Well there's my pen light, my Swiss army knife, my kaleidoscope…" Kate started.
"Ok we get the idea." Percy said, turning to Reynie he said, "What about you?"
"I'm clever." Reynie said.
"And what about you?" Hazel asked, turning to Constance.
"She can create poems, and she's smart." Reynie said quickly, not giving Constance a chance to reveal her secret.
"Right so when did he say the first challenge was?" Frank asked.
"Right about now actually." Sticky said.
Both teams walked out and met Lucas at the fire pit. He was there, holding two flags and in front of him was a large amount of paintball guns.
"Everyone, take a paintball gun. We are going to play Capture the flag. If you, or your empathically linked dinosaur, are hit by a paintball you're the other team's prisoner, unless you're rescued by your team. You each get 20 minutes to find a base and set up your flag, when you hear the alarm the game has started. The first team to capture the other team's flag wins an advantage in the next challenge." Lucas said.
"And remember, the only rule is that you are not allowed to do anything that would cause extreme and long term damage to the other team or yourself." Lucas said, "And your twenty minutes starts, Now!"
And the two teams, after arming themselves, ran in opposite directions. First the Blue brigade found a cave, and hid their flag deep inside it. Then they assigned the guards as Henry, Leo, Calypso, Nico, Star, and Tim. All the others were attacks.
The red Ravagers were set up in a similar pattern. They had Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Will, and Piper on defense while the others took the offensive and looked for the enemies base. They set up base in a complex underground cavern that they knew no one would ever look inside. And then everyone of them heard the alarm, the match had started. The attacking teams ran towards the camp, hoping to find the others.
