Chapter 2
There was another argument going on, on Olympus. Zeus and Poseidon were arguing about their children yet again. Ever since they had got proof about how Thalia and Percy were not guilty. They had argued constantly about who was more powerful to disguise the shame of believing the lies. Artemis was being restrained away from Aphrodite as they had just had an argument of their own.
When Chaos entered the room it went silent.
All of the gods looked at him.
"Who are you?" Athena asked.
"I am Chaos."
"Why are you here?"
"I am here to help you with your mutineers."
"We can handle them" Zeus assured him
"Are you aware of the sponsors of this rebellion?"
"No" Zeus said uncertainly.
"The names of these two sponsors are Gaia and Uranus."
The whole council went completely silent.
"Would you like any help?" Chaos asked helpfully.
The silence continued.
"I can leave if you want."
They all looked at Zeus who looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"Yes." He murmured.
"Pardon."
"Yes." Zeus said more clearly. "We would like some help."
"Well I have some soldiers that I would like you to meet."
Right on cue the five walked in and bowed to chaos.
The gods saw five fully armoured people walk in. One was in bright red and gold armour, one was in black armour, one in a camo-green with brown, one who was obviously female was wearing a lightning blue and one who was obviously the leader was wearing a sea green armour. They were heavily armed and had power radiating from then.
When they got back up they stood there waiting to be introduced.
"This is Volcano, Quake, Deadlock, Highrise, and Chief. They are my personal vanguard for my army. They are each slightly apprehensive about being here so I would treat them with respect."
With that, Chaos teleported out of the throne room.
"I think that we should not jump to conclusions about their power. I will personally take one of them on. I believe it would be fitting to challenge chief." Zeus said.
Although no-one could be sure it looked like Chief smiled. Highrise whispered something to him.
"Could I let my pets in? I think that they should watch."
Zeus nodded in affirmation.
Athena POV
There was something familiar about four of the five people in the room.
When the hellhound and black Pegasus came into the room I began to have suspicions.
Father got up and strode towards Chief. My suspicions were finally conformed when he drew riptide.
The only others who were suspicious were Poseidon and Hestia.
When father launched his master bolt at him I looked at the explosion. Like the remaining Olympians I expected to see him dead. Surprisingly his friends did not even move. When the smoke cleared there was a braced but unharmed Chief. He looked up and charged. Father tried to block his strike but he was too slow. Chief disarmed him as if my father had never held a weapon in his life. He then crashed into him and landed with his knee on father's chest. The throne room was once again silent.
"Well that was fun" Poseidon said happily.
Chief then got off and offered his hand to father, who begrudgingly took it.
There was an Iris message from Annabeth. The camp is under attack. Ares is leading it himself.
Father turned to Chief. I believe now would be a good time to announce yourselves to the demigods.
Annabeth POV
I had just slashed through the Iris message as I charged back into battle. We were outnumbered and with Ares and the family here were outgunned.
There was a flash of light in the centre of the battle field and I thought the gods, yes. When the light cleared I saw a group of five soldiers there. I would have thought of them as more enemies. Two reasons made me rethink. One the monsters looked as worried as we did and two one in a sea green suite of armour charged straight at Ares.
I watched the five of them in awe as they cut their way through the soldiers. The one in black had a sword in one hand and was summoning waves of dead with the other. The one in red had charged forward with a bow firing arrows quicker than we could follow each arrow alight and exploding on contact. The one in sky blue had a spear and shield and was bringing down lightning bolts harder and quicker that Zeus, one was cutting and slashing through monsters with a huge axe while creating small fissures in the ground and turning monsters into dandelions. They were all impressive but the one who stole the show was the one who had charged at Ares. He was armed with two swords and was fighting Ares, Phobos and Deimos and was winning. As I watched he had disarmed them all with two quick strikes of his sword and then proceeded to cut down the two fear gods and kicked Ares knocking him out. He then looked around looking disappointed.
The monsters fled within minutes of the strange worriers. When I came up to them to congratulate them I saw none of them had a scratch.
The one with sea green armour looked at me. "Get everyone in the arena now. I have an announcement to make."
When everyone was sat down in the arena we saw the five of them in the centre. The one in sea green armour looked at us. "I believe that I should introduce myself. My name is Chief. This is Highrise, Deadlock, Volcano and Quake. We are here to help in the war. Chaos sent us."
"Why would we need your help?" Heracles said. The idiot may have been disgraced a bit when we found out he lied but he was firmly in control by that point.
"Are you aware of the sponsors of the war god that I have just defeated?"
The demigods went silent as they had never considered it being part of a wider plan.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"As far as we know. The Primordial gods."
The entire arena erupted into chaos. (A/N no pun intended)
I jumped down to meet the five newcomers. "So why did you five come?"
"Chaos sent us. He believes that the gods are better rulers than the Primordials."
"Yes I guessed, but why you five?"
"We are his vanguard and the guardians of the rings of power."
