The Unforgiving War
Chapter 1: Attacking Camp Jupiter
The plane bucked to the left. I grabbed a hold of the cargo net hanging off the ceiling. My name is Chase Mathews. I'm a Son of Poseidon. 6 months ago Percy, Annabeth, and I rescued Artemis and her hunters from Atlas and the Mamias. While we were gone the Roman Demigod camp attacked Olympus. When we returned the Gods announced that we were to train for an attack on their camp. Percy and Annabeth don't agree but they are coming. I looked to my left. I was in the command plane. Ok, let me explain this. The Gods somehow were able to get a whole fleet of planes, 12 planes with about 30 Demigods in each except for this one. It held the whole Athena cabin, Chiron, Me, Percy and our little sister Sarah. Let me explain that too. When I was 4 my mom had another kid from Poseidon. A little girl, but she put her up for adoption. The family that had her treated her wrong. So Poseidon sent me to rescue her. I rescued her and brought her to Camp Half-Blood. Where Annabeth trained her to use a dagger and Percy and me trained her in her water skills. She saw me looking at her and she smiled. I smiled back. She turned back to Annabeth and they continued talking about the battle strategy. I walked over to Percy and Chiron. "We're almost to San Francisco Chase." Percy said to me. I nodded, "They'll probably have defenses set up on the bridge since the mortals have been evacuated by the storm sent from the Gods." Yes the Gods sent a storm so we could successfully attack Camp Jupiter. The government ordered an evacuation of California. So our attack would be smooth. "I believe you and Percy can take care of that." Chiron said. I looked at Percy and we nodded. "Golden Gate bridge 5 minutes away!" Annabeth said turning towards us. "Let's go Percy." I said walking towards the door of the plane. Suddenly there was an explosion. The radio Malcolm, Annabeth's sibling was manning came to life with madaes. He turned towards us, "The Demeter plane just went down. The Romans are firing at us from Golden Gate Bridge!" "Tell them to break formation and meet at the drop off point." Malcolm nodded and repeated it across the network of the planes. I pulled the door open and looked at the bridge. It was lined with giant catapults. "Percy, get the Demeter cabin to safety, I'll take care of the bridge." He nodded. I prayed to the god of jumping out of planes and jumped out. I sailed straight down and into the water. I took my black flashlight out and pressed it. My sword sprung into my hand. I willed the water to shoot me along towards the bridge. When I was close enough I used the water to shoot me onto the bridge. I was staring into the faces of about 60 surprised Roman Demigods. "Hey guys! Any chance we can talk this out nice and peaceful?" I asked. They drew their swords. "Obviously not!" I said raising my sword. The first Demigod came forward. He stabbed at me. I sidestepped and slammed my sword hilt into the side of his head. He crumpled. Percy said he wanted no one killed until somebody from our camp was killed. For the next 10 minutes I had to fight at a slow pace, knocking out the Roman Demigods. I had an idea. I raised my arms. The familiar tug in my gut told me the water was rising from the lake. It shot over the edge. I willed it to wrap around the catapults and break them apart. The water then attacked the remaining Demigods. I tapped the ear piece in my ear. "Annabeth, the fleet is free to move in. Catapults neutralized." "Acknowledged. Percy recued the Demeter cabin. No casualties." Annabeth's voice crackled back to me. I walked over to the other side of the bridge and looked at San Francisco. I hope we could at least save the city. The black storm clouds thickened around Camp Jupiter. I heard a plane getting close. I turned around and saw the Poseidon plane coming in. It was aiming for under the bridge. I know its not I thought to myself. It dipped under the bridge. "It is!" I said out loud jumping off the bridge and landing on the plane. The hatch on the top opened and I dropped in. Percy and the Demeter cabin was inside. "Chase, the fight is about to begin. We are heading for Camp Jupiter! Chiron and the others have set up a command center. The other cabins are awaiting us." I nodded and took a seat next to Katie Gardner. "Katie, your siblings are ready right?" "Yes Chase. They know what they are supposed to do." "Good, cause your cabin may be the deciding point in this war." I replied. Soon Percy announced we were landing. There was an explosion and the ship rocked back and forth. "The Romans are firing on us! It's not safe to land, we'll have to jump!" Percy yelled. He opened the cargo door. We were 20 feet off the ground. "I'll go first, I'll clear any Romans that are in the way!" I said leaping out. I landed and rolled unleashing my sword. Off to the right I spotted my army. The Greek campers had set up a barricade with the planes. The Demeter cabin came out followed by Percy. It wasn't a moment too soon either because a blast hit the plane and it exploded. I saw debris coming down and then something heavy landed on me and my vision went dark.
