Hey guys welcome back to the Unarmed Warrior. Before you start reading let me say a couple of things. First, I forgot to mention last time that I don't own any of this and all credit goes to Rick Riordan. Second, on the first day of the story being published, it got over 90 views which in my eyes seem great. So I would to thank everyone who read it and especially the ones that favorite, followed, and Reviewed. On the topic I would like to personally thank CryingWithTheWolves for leaving that review that made my day. But sorry to say that even though you try at my contest was interesting, it was wrong though, but thanks for giving it a try. One last thing before I end it here. The contest for getting to create a character to travel with Alex is still going, terms are on first chapter and I do accept PMs and criticism. Well that is it and enjoy chapter 2.
5 years later...
Machitis finally takes a break from his new project after destroying the seventh punching bag. Beating with sweat, he takes a seat thinking over ideas. A couple of days ago Chiron personally asked Machitis if he could designed a new martial arts course to help demigods protect themselves if unarmed. Machitis instantly responded taking up the offer. Why not raise a kid and create new fighting course.
After adding in more knee and elbow strikes, he decides to get back into testing them until he heard a familiar voice, "Machi."
Machitis looked over to see a young boy at the door in monsters inc. pajamas. Even though he hated to be called that Machitis couldn't be mad at him. The good of hand to hand combat took a knee and opened his arms signaling for the boy to come. He ran over to Machitis to be engulfed in a hug.
"Alex what are you doing up? You know your bedtime is 8:00 pm." Machitis asked.
"I know, but...but," Alex stop talking, concentrating on getting into a comfortable spot in Machitis arms, "I wanted to watch you."
Alex dug his head into Machitis arms worrying that he was in trouble for getting out of bed, but instead he heard Machitis chuckling.
"Haha, is that really what you want to do?" Alex nodded, "Well I guess there isn't anything wrong with that. Why don't you take a seat on the bench over there and when you get tired just come say something and I will bring you back to bed, Deal?"
"Deal Machi." Alex said running over to the bench wanting to see Machitis in action.
Machitis set up a couple of more punching bags, ready to go back into his project. He mainly used knee and elbow strikes getting great results. Time to time he would turn to see Alex with a face of awe every time Machitis would hit the bag leaving a smile on his face from his son's expressions.
After a couple of minutes, Machitis was fully concentrated on the fighting style and wasn't really paying attention to anything else. Watching his dad hit the punching bags left Alex astonished thinking that it would be cool to do the same. Alex kept on watching his dad with the thought of punching a bag growing in his head. Looking away from the god, Alex saw a perfectly fine punching bag, he subconsciously went to the bag and started punching it. Every time Alex would punch the bag it wouldn't move a millimeter and started to hurt.
Alex looked over to see Machitis punching the bag so hard that it hit the ceiling. Watching this gave Alex the spirit that he too could do the same if he put all of his strength into the punch. He tried to copy Machitis' movements by watching him. After watching him a couple of times Alex got the movements down, he stood in front of the bag ready to send it flying.
Alex ready into an attack stance, pulling back his arm, then push forward with all his might forming a fist in his hand. He made solid contact to the center of the bag, but it only move an inch and lefted a lot of pain. Hearing the sound of the punch hitting the bag and the crying from Alex, Machitis looked over to see what happen.
One glance was all it took to figure out what happen. Machitis came to Alex's side and engulfed him in another big hug comforting him.
"It's ok Alex, It's ok" Machitis said patting his head trying to calm him down.
"I just wanted to do what you were doing Machi." Alex sniffed.
"I know that Alex and that's all fine, but your not at the right age to be doing this. There is a lot you need to learn before you start fighting. Don't worry, your time will come."
"What do I need to learn in order to start?" Alex asked no longer crying.
Machitis spinned him around so they were looking at each other face to face, "First, learn to use this" pointing at Alex's head, "Then I will teach you how to use these," then grabbing his hands.
Now you must be wondering why Machitis quoted BraveHeart? Well the answer is that all children of Ares love war movies and tend to quote them. Also another little fun fact is that Machitis is known to do it a lot too. It's why he is never invited to an Olympus party. He knew guess that Alex will never watch the movie, so he could always take credit for such amazing life advice.
Machitis looked down to see Alex with so much pride and determination on his face. "Ok, I will learn fast Machi, so I can be just like you." Alex said.
"I can't wait for you to do that, but now is bed time." Machitis said picking up Alex and bringing him to his room.
"Awwww, but Machi I don't too," Alex pouted pounding Machitis back with his fists, "At least tell me another one of your stories when you were young, please?" Alex said with puppy dog eyes. There was no way in hades he could say no, so decide to just tell one story.
They enter Alex's room with Machitis tucking him in, "Fine, but just one ok?"
Alex nodded and Machitis told him another one of his storied from the Trojan war and just when he was about to get to the good part, Alex falls asleep which makes Machitis laugh a little. He gets up and before he leaves, kisses alex on the forehead, "Goodnight my son." Machitis said leaving his room.
4 more years later...
On any day of the week Alex would be in class with Machitis teaching about topics from what the Fates told him to teach him.
"Yes Alex, what is your question?" Machitis asked seeing Alex raising his hand.
"Machi, I know you set up this school type thing when teaching me history even with doing it in a model like classroom, but why are they 20 desk when you only have one student." Alex pointed to the other desk.
"That's a good question and the answer is when I ask Hephaestus and Athena to help me with building this classroom, they thought that it was meant for a actual class and not just for one kid." Matchitis chuckle thinking to when he told the two gods that this whole thing was just for one kid. He could still remember the face palm both gods gave.
"Now back to the lesson. Tell me why the soldiers you lead should respect and believe in you. Also give an example." Machitis asked.
"The soldiers should believe in and respect their leader because why follow someone that you wouldn't trust with your life. Soldiers don't need a leader, the leader need the soldiers, so if they believe and trust you they will follow till the death. An example of this would be Napoleon Bonaparte. After he came back from exile, King Louis XVIII sent soldiers to confront and capture Napoleon. But because of the love and respect the soldiers had for Napoleon, they would join him and soon he would take back France." After Alex finish, Machitis gave him a nodded for giving the right answer. The could of been more to it, but how much should you except from a nine year old child.
"Ah Napoleon Bonaparte, what an interesting person. Great leader, but had the worst flaw for leading. What was his flaw?" Machitis asked stumping Alex.
It took Alex a couple of minutes to answer, "Ambition, he didn't know his limit."
"Right, but in some cases wrong," Machitis said being a little enthusiastic while Alex was confuse, "You're not wrong about Napoleon, he was a fool trying to take Russia, but ambition as a flaw. It's good to have ambition, you can never move up in life without ambition, but too much ambition will kill you. Know your limits, don't lead your army to death trying to reach a stupid ambition. Many examples would be Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, ect."
"Were you like them during the Trojan War Machi?" Alex asked.
"Eh, I didn't want to take Russia," But he could if he wanted to," but I had a decent amount of Ambition as a leader. Power hungry and the need t for glory, but I made sure my decisions wouldn't risk my soldiers. Don't get me wrong they would follow me to death if I ask because they knew I would never of asked them too. When you train and fight with other people you become a family, and I would never risk my family lives." Machitis said.
Alex was in awe of how good of a leader Machitis was. Alex hope that one day he would have the chance to lead men just like his father.
"Ah look at the time," Machitis said, pointing to the clock, "Schools over, let's go home."
Alex jumped out of his seat with a cheer and grab his bag. Following Machitis out of the door. The classroom wasn't far away from their house, it only took a minute walk to get back.
"So Alex, do you know what's in a week?" Machitis poking at Alex, trying to annoy him.
"Ya Machi February 21, it's my birthday." Alex said with a big smile.
"Right you are Alex, and I got something special for you." Machitis grinned trying to trigger Alex's curiosity.
"Ugh, you always do this to me Machi" Alex was punching at Machitis stomach only making him laugh.
"Hahaha, stop it, your punches are tickling me," Machitis burst into laughter making Alex furious, "Just wait a week and you will find out."
One week later…
(February 21, 2003)
Today was Alex's birthday and was still in bed oversleeping like always. He usually had no dreams and that how he liked it. Most of his dreams were life like and always creeped him out. Lucky for him he didn't have any, but he did feel something freezing and wet on him.
Alex woke up in a daze, soaking wet. All he saw was a smiling Machitis holding a bucket, guessing that this was all Machi doings.
"What was that for Machi!" Alex yelled at him laughing back at his masterpiece.
"Happy birthday son, you overslept." Alex waited for more, but that was it, like that explained everything.
"Thanks Machi." Alex said sarcastically.
"No problem and if you keep calling me Machi, you will get more than just a bucket of water." Machitis grinned maniacally.
"Ha ha ha, like that will ever happen." Alex said.
"Doesn't matter now, time for my birthday gift for you." Machitis said.
This made Alex nervous, every birthday would be Machitis giving Alex a challenge to complete. Some were fun and some were just the worst.
"Can you explain what it is?" Machitis shook his head.
"Nope, surprise only." Machitis walked out of the room with a Alex following up behind.
They both enter the living and Alex paused at what he saw. There on a blood red color box with 7 papers circling it. While Alex was trying to figure out what this was, Machitis turned to him and laugh at a confuse Alex.
"Which one do you want to know first, the bow or the papers?" Machitis asked.
"The box." With that Machi walked over to the box, pick it up, and walked over to Alex handing him it.
Machitis gestured Alex to open the box. Alex open the cover to reveal a pair of dark green/grey looking gloves giving off a golden glow. Alex look in awe, these weren't just regular gloves for keeping your hands warms. No these were fighting gloves, they were thinner than normal MMA gloves and covered the entire hand. They had two fist crossing each other making a x, the symbol of Machitis and were also made out of celestial bronze like fabric. An idea from Hephaestus to make better armor for the gods, he came up with celestial bronze clothing that was better than any armor, thinner, and flexible.
There was one problem with the gloves though, they were too big to fit on Alex's hand. Alex starred at Machitis waiting for an explanation only to receive Machi saying to just put them on. The second he did the gloves shrink to fit his hands perfectly, this put Alex into more awe. They felt like metal on the outside, but surprisingly soft and moveable on the inside.
"You like them?" Alex nodded, "Good, Hephaestus owe me a favor and I asked him to make you these with other accessories. The gloves can't be penetrated by any sword or spear, they are anti vibrational, and are resistance to any element"
Alex look more at Machitis questioning the other accessories. "What are the other accessories and what are the gloves for?" Alex asked.
Machitis started smirking, "You will find out when they are ready and for the gloves that is what the pieces of paper are for." Alex looked at the gloves and turn his attention to the pieces of paper on the table.
Both of them walked over to the table, Alex on one side facing the papers and Machitis opposite to him. "Alex the gloves aren't my only gift to you. It's something you wanted for a long time." This brought excitement to Alex because he knew what Machi meant.
"Wait you mean-"
Machitis interrupted him, "Yes for now on you will learn and train in the way of martial arts." See some kids would want a doll or that new nerf gun, but all his life Alex wanted to learn martial arts to be just like his father. Machitis remove the papers revealing seven kind of martial arts styles. Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, MMA, Capoeira, Boxing/Kick Boxing, and Brazilian jiu jitsu.
"Because of your condition with wielding weapons and stuff," Alex was about to ask why he couldn't wield weapons like he was cursed or something but Machiitis cut him off just in time," That I will explain to you before you leave for camp, but in next six and a half years these will be the fighting styles you will learn and use to survive in the real world." Alex had a lot of questions to bombard Machi with.
Machitis finished what he was saying and gave Alex the cue to start asking questions. "How will you divided up the styles? Which one is first? Why these martial art styles?" At this point Alex ran out of breath.
Machi had a sarcastic look of awe. "Good questions, hmm lets see. We will start by doing one week of workout to get you use too it. Next each week out of seven total will be a short training week with a different style. After that you can choose the order of which ones you want to know first from last. The first one you will pick will learn the most and the last would be the least so choose wisely my young padawan," Machitis couldn't hold in his smile of stealing another well known quote and saying it's his, "Lastly, I feel like all of these have good use of one on one combat or on the battlefield. Over time you will pick up other one, but these are the main styles you will learn"
As soon as Machi was done talking, he was tackle to the ground by Alex saying it was the best birthday present ever. Machitis was glad that he could pass down his knowledge to somebody he loved like he always wanted to do.
Seven weeks later…
AN-I'm skipping the seven weeks because I wanted to add more to this chapter than just training, but there will be a good amount.
After seven weeks of brutal training and exercise, Alex finally made his list of what order the fighting styles would go into. He was ready to show Machi, but couldn't find him insight. Just when Alex thought that, Machitis burst through the door, box in hand.
Alex ran up to him, waving the paper around. "Im done with the list Machi." Machitis took the list to observe it.
He had a blank expression reading it, "Hmm...Muay Thai, Taekwondo, MMA, Capoeira, Krav Maga, Boxing/Kick Boxing, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Interesting list, but I do like how you pick Muay Thai first because it fits with what I got in this box. Besides that, the rest of it seems goods. Now take this." Machitis handed him the box.
"What is this?" Alex asked.
Machitis grinned from knowing what will happen next. "It was the last part of your birthday present." He said.
Just like he predicted, Alex teared open the box. In there was a pair of black and grey mix combat boots made with the celestial bronze fabric and with the same purpose as Alex's gloves.
Even though Alex was in awe looking at them a question came to mind. "Hey Machi, why are both these boots and the gloves made out of the celestial bronze."
"Well when I found out that you couldn't wield a weapon I thought to myself...there is more to a weapon then just sharp metal on a stick…so these sort of weapons are loopholes for your condition. See in the mortal world are monster dating back from the start of time, from every mythology as you know. These monsters like to hunt down demigods and kill them for revenge against the gods, so the demigods use celestial bronze to kill these monsters well the greeks do, the romans use imperial gold, but back to the topic. So if you have gloves and boots made out of this metal and train in fighting style you should be able to defend yourself against the monsters. Also a couple demigods here and there."
"Ok I guess that makes sense." Alex said.
"Of course it does, now put them on I want to show you something." Alex did what he said and put on the boots.
Just like the gloves they were too big at first, but then shrunk down to the right size. The boots felt really comfortable and were really light, and felt like they could do a lot of damage.
"Ok do this and think of the number zero." Matchitis said gesturing to Alex to fist bump both his hands together.
Alex copied what Machine did thinking that this god was crazy, but when his fist touch and he thought of the number zero both the gloves and boots despair. Leaving behind two identical rings on both of Alex's middle fingers with the symbol of Machitis on it.
Alex panic, thinking that he just lost both of his gift while Machitis laugh at him. "Don't worry there not gone, they just turned into the rings to be easier to travel with." Alex was relief at the sound of not losing his gifts.
"Now back to what I was saying your rings have four modes." Machitis hold up four fingers changing them by which one he was describing. "Mode 0 is ring form basically means that when your done fighting they are easy to carry and if you lose them they will return back on your fingers unless you want them off. Mode one is just the gloves and the boots for regular fighting. Mode two changes your clothing a little to this grey/black combat suit with a patch of celestial bronze on your knees and elbows for fighting in styles like Muay Thai. The last is mode three which gives you a little more armor for when your in formations and such like that." Hearing all of this Alex started to play with the modes switching out of one and onto the next.
"Cool" Alex said with Machitis nodding.
With that ended Machitis gave Alex his first lesson in Muay Thai using punches, kicks, knee and elbow attacks. Like any other kind of training it was hard, painful, and exhausting. One time Machitis teleported Alex to a field with hundreds of banana trees and told Alex to break them all with Muay Thai to strengthen his bones. Just like any other hard task he got, Alex pushed through it, nothing was going to stop him from reaching his goal. Not his curse, not monsters, not anyone.
Fives years later, one week before Alex's birthday turning fithteen...
AN- Sorry for this long author's note and time skips because I really want to get to Alex going to New Rome. So here's some little information to get to that spot faster. Alex knows about the Greek/Roman mythology mixed with the real world like a normal demigod at a camp would, but he doesn't know about Ares yet and Ares doesn't know about Alex yet too. A couple of more things Machitis doesn't have a roman side, will explain that more down the road, Alex by this point is a master at martial arts especially Muay Thai and is a natural leader from all the class Machitis teaches him. I know some of you could this already know or not, but in my opinion it's help. Last thing, I know I'm sorry this is to long, but don't think of this as me being lazy to put more into it, trust me this story will have a lot, but I just want to get to the parts that I think of most being Alex in the legion and his life during that. Don't worry though I do have some really good events before he's at camp, like meeting some already know demigods, so in the meantime, back to the story.
Even though Alex was in the training phase, he still had classes to take. He more prefer sparing with Machi, but learning about Greek mythology mixed with the real world wasn't bad either. Alex grow a lot in the past years. He had the body of Brawler with muscles that gave him a lot of force behind his punches, but weren't heavy enough to make him tire. He wore his regular tshirt with blue jeans with his combat boots on. There in the front of the class was Machitis, for some reason Alex always thought look like Ryu from the game Street Fighter four with oddly enough the same clothing too.
"Now what is the purpose of mist." Machitis asked.
"It what's hide the gods and monsters from the mortals." Alex said cleary bored out of his mind.
Machitis took note of this and had to cheer up his favorite and only student. "Bored are we?" Machitis standing in front of his desk arms cross.
"Yes, very." Alex returned back which earned him a fake gasped from Machi.
"Ok wise guy, if the mist makes you bored let's talk about some greek heroes from the past like Hercules." Hearing this brought a laugh out of Alex.
"Ya, what hero he was. Yes he did the twelve labors, but he's just a brute who doesn't think and has mad anger issues." Machitis was about to say something else, but before he could Alex continued on his rant. "Theseus was an attention seeker who when someone gives up their life for him, he returns back with a fuck you. Achilles choose a decade of glory than a life with his family. Odysseus suck at first, but made it up in the end."
When Alex was explaining all of greek heroes bad doing, except for perseus who he deemed ok, Machitis was facepalming always forgetting that he told Alex of these heros when he was younger.
"And don't get me started on-"
Machi interrupted him, tire of his ranting and decide to stop it, "Ok, ok, I get it. No heroes are interesting to you. What about the Hunters of Artemis?" Machitis asked hoping for Alex's curiosity would kick in.
This brought a blank expression to Alex never hearing of them. "Never heard of them Machi, who are they." Alex asked. Seeing Machitis angry.
"Ugh how many time do I have to tell you. It was cute when you were younger, but stop calling me Machi." Alex bursted out laughing.
"Oh come on Machi, you know that's my way of calling you dad." Alex grinned while Machitis mumble random stuff. "Now what are these so call hunters."
Swallowing his anger, Machitis answer his question. "They are a band of sworn maidens who hunt and follow the goddess Artemis." To be honest that was all Machitis had of them. He didn't really kept track of gods and what they did, but he knew that wasn't going to satisfy Alex.
"What else is there of them Machi?" Alex asked.
Asking that question got Alex a book to the face making him fall to the ground. "I don't know that much about them," Machitis grinned, "But that book should give you more information."
Alex shot up in anger getting a book to the face. While Machitis was laughing at his son's reaction. Alex leaped into the air thinking that he got the drop on his dad with a flying kick. Just as Alex's foot was about to make contact with Machi's face, Machitis smile as he sidestep making Alex miss his target. falling to the floor, he was slap in the back of his head by Machitis.
"Against a normal soldier that would of work, but don't forget that I'm the one that trains you." Machitis picked up Alex from the ground placing him on his feet.
"Only if I was closer, you would be the one on the floor." Alex said smiling.
"Haha, I knew your move before you were in the air. Now come on class is over." Machitis walk out of the door leaving behind a shock Alex wondering if he really had the drop on his dad.
As the rest of the day went on, Alex kept his attention to that book. Wanting to know of this group of girls that he never heard of and how he like the first sentence of the page 'IF YOU ARE A MALE STAY AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THESE HUNTERS'. Reading through the pages he read stories of the famous goddess and her lieutenant Zoe Nightshade. Spitting at the fact that she was another one of Heracles victims. The book had every single hunter that was or is in the hunt. It even had recent hunters that joined like Thalia Grace who joined last Winter solstice. After Alex finished the book he decided to go to bed wondering about his birthday. Asking himself what kind of challenge he would get this birthday like he always had. Like fighting some of Hades skeleton guards that he let Machitis borrow. After five minutes of thinking it, Alex finally fell asleep.
It was the morning of Alex's fifthteth birthday with him still sleeping in bed in his usual bed clothes of a pair of shorts and no shirt. Even though he couldn't help it, Alex couldn't wake up in the morning, no matter what time he went to bed he could never get up after 11:00 am. Unless Machi threw him out of bed or poured a bucket of water on him. Just like what happen to him now.
Alex woken up from his slumber in a dazed. Realizing that he was drenched in freezing cold water, Machitis usual trick, and about to yell at him. Then Alex notice that it wasn't Machi who was standing in front of him, but three girls looking around his age with each one wearing silver jackets, except for one who wore a black leather jacket, silver color camo pants, silver combat boots, and pointing bows at him. 'Man they must love the color silver' Alex thought to himself. But he knew who they where and why there were here. They are the Hunters of Artemis and they were the challenge for his birthday.
He knew each one of them from the book's description and it was way to accurate, being too weird. In the middle was Zoe Nightshade, knowing that from her dark brown eyes and dark colored hair. The girl to her right was Thalia Grace with the spiky hair and electronic blue eyes and to the way left was Bianca di Angelo having black eyes with dark hair. Alex wasn't going to say it out loud at all, but all three of them were beautiful and having them pointing their bows at him ready to shot didn't faze Alex at all. Only Zeo gave him a look of disgust while the other hunters kept on staring at Alex's muscle toon, bare chest. Clearly giving off the fact that they just joined the hunt.
AN- Will admit that it was really easy to guess that the Hunters would show up with that book, but who cares. Also I kept Zeo and Bianca alive because I thought that it would be cool to see them throughout the story. Warning though, they aren't main characters, but will show up sometimes in this story. That's the end of this, so let's go back to the story.
After a minute of everyone staying still and not talking. Alex broke the silence with a friendly wave and a warmly smile. "Welcome Zeo, Thalia, and Bianca, Hunters of Artemis." The hunters greeted him back with shock faces of wondering how he knew them.
"How do you know our-"
Thalia was cut off by Alex raising his hand, "I will explain that more later, but now I do believe that there is a challenge, would anyone like to explain the rules." Alex said this like it was a casual thing for him.
When he tried to get out of bed to change his clothes, an arrow passed by him knocking over his lamp. This made Alex frowned, he like that lamp, he wonder why does something good have to end bad. At this point someone was talking, but Alex was still concentrated over his destroyed lamp.
Another arrow zoomed by Alex, but this time skinning him, leaving a small cut.
"Ow!" He said with a fake, shock expression, "Why you do that?" Zeo looked at him in disgust while the other two hunters were giggling. Thalia and Bianca being new to the hunt so their level of man hating wasn't even close to Zoe's.
"Because you weren't listening to me you idiot," Zeo hissed at him, "Stupid male." Alex raised an eyebrow at her last comment, but decided not to push it more. He knew that getting up again would lead to a deeper wound, so he remain on the freezing, soaking wet bed.
With Alex staying quiet and Zeo glaring daggers at him, Bianca decide to but in. "Back to your question about the challenge. Machitis told us that it was a game of chase. The object for us would be to capture and bring you to Machitis and Artemis at a cafe name 'The Sky Cafe' about ten miles from here. Your object is to meet them there without us capturing you and if we do, then you can still try to escape. The point is, this doesn't end until your there in or out of chains." Bianca said with a side while Alex was offsetted by the words chains thinking that if they were really necessary.
"Hmm...that's it, ok sounds like fun. When does it begin?" Alex asked. The only thing he got back was a mischievous smile from Zeo.
"When we ask Machitis that same question. His answer was now." The three hunters raised their bows not letting the chance of their prey escape, making Alex jump a little.
Alex raised up his hands in surrender and put on an innocent look. "Whoa Whoa, before your put me in chains and bring me to my dad. Can I at least put on some clothes?"
The hunters paused at his request thinking that it wouldn't be a good idea to bring someone in his condition to Artemis.
Zeo hated the idea of granting his request, but thought no harm would come if she accepted it. "Fine get dress. You got three minutes and no locking the front door." With hearing that Alex innocent look turned into a grin.
Alex got out of bed with joy of no arrows coming at him. He move to his dresser, with the hunters turning to keep there aim on him, Alex got his usual training clothes and walked over to his bathroom.
After closing the door Alex decided to get a little information out of them. "So I'm guessing that Machi also told you about my abilities and skills." All he heard back was a snort from Zeo.
"Yep, but it wasn't something to be impress about. Sure you know martial arts, but a demigod who can wield a weapon to defend himself. The idea itself shows that you are weak." Hurtful her words might be, Alex wasn't fazed at all. He had the same thoughts of his own like Zeo's all his life, but he overcome the hardships and was proud of it too.
Alex walk out of his bathroom, not saying a word, with the same grin on his face. Making Thalia and Bianca uncomfortable while Zeo had a smug smile thinking that it was going to be fun beating up this male.
Alex walked over to the corner of his room, leaning against, watching the hunters bows aimed at him.
"You might be right about that Ms. Nightshade," Alex started, "But you of all people should know that a weapon isn't the only thing that can make a person strong."
Zeo starting walking to him, thinking that this weak male couldn't stop her, all this did was lower her guard. "Doesn't matter, now come peacefully before I put an arrow in you." Just as she was in arms length of Alex. He shove up his arm in a stoping like gesture.
"Oh I'm not done yet Nightshade, I have only a couple of more things to say," He reach over to grab the book and show it to them. "First Thalia, your question early on how I know you guys is from this book. It showed me your strategies, your strength, your weakness, and many more. And the last thing is that Machi told you all about me, but there are somethings that I haven't told him."
Alex quickly whipped the book at Thalia hitting her in the face. As she fell to the ground, with both hunters' attention on her. Alex hit his elbow against the wall, triggering a trapdoor to open up beneath him. As he fell through his escape root, the trapdoor closed. Leaving behind two hunters in shock and one on the ground in pain.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, but not really. Hahaha, don't worry though, February vacation just started. So the next chapter will be up by the end of it. I hope you guys like this chapter and if any of you might have ideas of what to add in that I probably don't think of, send me a PM. There is no bad ideas like questions, even though that could or could not be true, but who cares. That's the end of this and I can't wait for how this challenge for Alex will end out.
