Shock And Awe
Annabeth
Cool and fresh breeze flew past my face as Argo II forged onwards to San Francisco. We had been pushing on for almost two days now to get to the Legion Camp, we would have been lost countless times without Jason. His memory seemed to be coming back more and more as we got closer to our destination.
" You should rest, " said Leo, climbing up to the deck I was standing on, " we'll get there by tomorrow and we have no idea what we're gonna encounter so you should catch some Zzz's ."
" Do you think Percy will be at the camp?" I asked.
" Hey. I don't know, " his reply wasn't surprising, " but I'm sure he will be there, we have 'their' Jason and they have Percy."
Leo made it sound as if Jason wasn't one of us. Greek.
I wanted more answers so I asked, " What if the Romans are ready for combat? What if they don't listen to us?"
" Then we faceplant them, Camp Half-Blood style." laughed Leo.
I smiled, Percy would like him. I went down to the sleeping cabins thinking about strategies to defeat the Roman campers if a fight broke out, Argo II would be very useful and our only advantage.
I'm on my way seaweed brain, I thought before everything went haywire.
Jason
A massive blast woke me with a start, immediately I sensed something was wrong so I strapped my breastplate on. It felt strange because it was Greek make and my blood boiled by wearing the bronze armour. Still it was needed, Argo II had been shot at.
As fast as my legs could, I tore down the hallways and up to the deck where I found Leo keeping the ship steady and straight. Well trying to. The deck was a mess, the wood had been blasted and broken; pieces were everywhere. From the corner of my eye I saw Piper (gotta admit, she looked drop dead gorgeous) and Annabeth come up to the decks; they both looked dazed.
" We need to land Argo II ! " I heard Leo shouting.
" Theres no land underneath us!" Piper screamed, " drop it on the sea."
I noticed Annabeth was looking out towards the left side of the deck then she shouted, " Heads up! Incoming object at 9 o' clock."
Then suddenly lots of flames lighted up on our left side, lots of small men holding torches and fire sticks. It was an island.
Everyone was dumbfounded, was this the Legion Camp?
As if to answer my question, I felt a straing chill and my skin crawled then a Gigantic Tidal wave rose out of the water and sped towards us, full speed.
" Hang on guys!" shouted Captain Leo. Amazingly he steered Argo II out of the tidal wave's path but we celebrated too early. The water seperated and formed heavy dark clouds above us. A seastorm was brewing, Leo didn't like that.
" We're gonna have to crash land on that island," said Leo, " anyone abject to that?"
No reply.
" Alright, this is gonna get rough! "
He nose dived Argo II aiming for a big blue house that looked strangely similar to the one in Camp Half Blood. As we went down more arrows were shot towards us, up on the hills there were mounted Ballitas (Giant Crossbows).
OK whoa how did I know what they are if I've never came across them.
The arrows stopped, then they were replaced by heavy big rocks.
" Dude they have catapults! " exclaimed an amazed Leo.
" They're called Onagers." I replied. As usual everyone just gave me the stare.
Then everything was a blur as Argo II hit the ground.
Jason II
Pain, terrible pain shot up my arm. My head throbbed and hurt as if it were going to tattoo on my arm was burning and strangely it was glowing. Suddenly it hit me, I was home.
Piper asked, " What is this place?"
" Legion Camp," I replied, " we've arrived."
Leo limped towards us, " Whoever made my ship go down, NOT cool."
"It … i-i-it … he-he, was … him-m. " sobbed Annabeth, she was crying.
" Name youselves! " said a calm voice behind us, " or prepare to die."
Casually Leo stepped forward and nodded towards us, the message was clear; he wanted to handle this.
" I'm Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus," Leo said confidently, " these here are my friends; Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite; Annabeth, daughter of Athena; and the son of Zeus…"
"…Jason." I said, stepping out.
At the mention of my name, everyone except the leader gasped and started muttering amongst themselves but none of them put their guard down. Some hardcore training.
The lead guy stepped out of the formation and held his hand out in a welcome back gesture.
" Welcome to Legion Camp," he said, and took off his helmet, " We've been expecting a Jason, my name's Percy… Percy Jackson."
Right thats the end of the First chapter, hope you enjoyed it, i haven't got much to say but review and if you have any ideas do let me know :D and i will update as quick as possible,
trust the next chapters are equally/ even more exciting.
Speed.
