Chapter 2: Making a Statement

"So, if you haven't heard yet, Percy was attacked by a group of very powerful demigods," Chiron told the rest of the camp's counselors. "They're a group of demigods who dislike the gods and refuse to go either of the two camps; they call themselves the 'New Gods'. I believe Clarisse has encountered one of their members before."

Everyone looked at Clarisse and she started to talk.

"Yeah, they have a son of Ares on their side. His name is William or something. He's extremely good at fighting. Almost as good as I am," She said and looked around at everyone.

"Yeah, it looks like they've got a Son of Hermes, Daughter of Boreas and a Son of Poseidon, as well. They all seem to have inherited powers from their parents; speed, ability to manipulate wind and create ice and manipulation over water. They all are extremely powerful and should be challenged with caution," Percy explained to everyone, telling them about their powers.

"Talking about us?" Giovanni was hanging from the ceiling. "That's rude, Jackson. Not introducing us to your friends!" He said and swung down and kicked Clarisse to the ground. He made a lap around the little meeting and stopped behind Percy. Giovanni grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground.

"Sorry, did we crash your little party?" A british girl's voice said. "Hello everyone, I'm Destiny, but you can call me Nightmare," She said and put her hands up. She pointed her index finger at some campers and they fell asleep.

"Guys, these are my friends. Please don't hurt them," Percy said in a strained voice. Giovanni just grabbed his head and slammed it into the cabin floor over and over again. "You should have just joined us, man! This wouldn't be happening! We wouldn't be raiding your damn camp!" Giovanni told him and threw him out of the cabin. Before he hit the ground, he was caught by something.

"Hmph. I was wondering when I would get to watch you suffer," Hi'iaka said, blowing him into the air. "Now, you're going watch us as we take your little camp." She held him in the sky as her comrades started destroying Camp Half Blood.

"Why? This is the only place for demigods to be safe," He told her, tears starting to form in his eyes.

"Only the weak demigods need to be safe! The strong ones can fend for themselves in the real world," She yelled at him.

"Hi'iaka, put him down," Percy heard Seaspray call from the ground.

"You got lucky, bitch," She whispered under her breath and dropped Percy to the ground.

"Now, Percy. Can you not see how powerful we are? Just join us," Seaspray told him and caught him with a hand made of water. Percy instantly started feeling better and put his feet onto the ground.

"Never! You guys hurt my friends, now you're going to pay," Percy pulled out Riptide. "You're so lucky everyone else is off somewhere else and I'm the only one here!"

Seaspray chuckled.

"We're lucky? 3 of us just incapacitated your whole camp! So pathetic. I thought you'd know better than that, Percy," He said and formed two swords out of water.

Percy swung Riptide at Seaspray, but he deflected it. Seaspray made one sword into a whip and wrapped it around Percy's neck.

"You know the water's just gonna heal me, right?" Percy smiled.

"Not this time," Seaspray made a cut on Percy's cheek with his water sword. "Hi'iaka! Catch!"

He launched Percy into the air and he was caught by Hi'iaka. She started hitting him in the face with a baseball bat made of ice. She started laughing hysterically.

"I can't believe you actually thought you'd be able to beat us," She said. "You and your little camp friends are pathetic. Where's that Hephaestus boy? Leo? He has the pyrokinesis powers; we should recruit him," She told Percy, stabbing an icicle through his thigh.

Percy screamed and looked down at his leg. It didn't go all the way through his leg, but it hurt a whole lot.

"Come on, Hi'i! We've gotta go! And Percy, don't worry, we've left your camp unharmed. For the most part. We haven't hurt any demigods other than you," Seaspray yelled up and started walking out of the camp, followed by Nightmare and Kinetic. The daughter of Boreas dropped Percy to the ground and flew above the three other demigods.

Percy grunted and his vision started getting blurry.

"Dammit," He said under his breath and passed out.
