To Greatness until Wrath's Ruins

by Mad Man in the Flesh

I know that these Chaos stories are really overused but i just wanted to try my luck at it. Run out of camp, Percy, Jason and Piper have nowhere to go until a man gives them an offer. Accepting, they leave their old lives behind to fight for the lives of others. But when trouble arise from a very old and almost forgotten threat of the gods, will they help? Or let Earth fall? R R

2. Chapter 2

Wow, ten months since I've last posted on this story and that was with chapter 1. For all those who have been waiting for this chapter, I'm sorry to have been so slow as to give it but my laptop deleted most of my first attempts so I had to restart from scratch. So without further interruptions, I give you chapter 2. Read and Review.

Percy's POV

The Harbringer was exactly like I was expecting any futuristic space ship for an army. The corridors were wide enough to put fifty people in and still have room to spare and big enough to put in a giraffe without it having to behind its neck. Across the walls were doors that each had a specific name for what it was, be it armoury, canteen or hangar, all the rooms an army need to fight were here. On the walls were a series of pipes that led to Gods know where as when you tried to follow one pipe another intertwined with it and you had lost your original pipe (sucks to be an engineer on this ship) and also on the walls were a series of robots like the ones back in the arena, but all turned off and in the shape of a ball. My mind started reeling, "Why would they have training dummies on a ship?"

"Kara, check the army is ready for battle and ready for the combat drop. Markel, you check all the fighters and make sure they are fully loaded and fuelled, we don't need a disaster like last time and Maria, check the ammunition for the plasma cannons, I don't want the Harbringer coming under fire unprepared." Seth said with such authority in his voice I was surprised a care free man lay underneath that armour. The three in question saluted him before running down in three separate directions to do their appointed jobs.

"What do you want us to do Seth." Piper said with a small waver of fear in her voice, but no one even picked up on it except me and I knew why. A few weeks of running and finally finding a new home, we're thrust into a battle and the worst is it's against actually people with blood flowing through them. We were trained to fight monsters and we didn't feel sorry about that, it was either kill or be killed, but it was not the same with humans, you can't kill one and still expect to be the same person on the inside. Seth turned towards us, only one of his plastic tech eyes visible from my view before he turned around and stared straight forward.

"Walk with me," he started to walk down the corridor and us close on his heels, "You are frightened of this battle coming, why?"

"Seth, we've never actually killed a person before only monsters, how can you expect us not to be scared." Jason said as head stared at his feet, not daring to look at Seth incase he was angry.

"Yes, I sense the dilemma of yours, but I ask you about the Titans and Giants you have slain to keep Olympus safe, is that any different?"

"Of course it is, that had to be done." I said but as the words left my mouth I believed my answer was wrong.

"How is it any different from the killing of people. Those you have slain have souls and now reside in my second home. You say you haven't killed, but really you have. When a Giant or Titan was slain his essence retreated into Tartarus, technically speaking their soul. So you tell me you have not killed then I must say that you are a liar." Seth said and he spoke with such confidence and reason in his voice I couldn't find any fault in his mini speech, but apparently Jason could,

"That killing was necessary. Our families were in danger and the gods asked us to kill to help defend their home!"

"And how shall you reason with the dead on Fornostia when they have been slaughtered all because you believed death was not necessary?" Jason was stumped at the answer, "You see Jason Grace, we exist to keep the peace between the planets and their people. If we do not kill then the evil of a person grows deep until the roots are buried so far in the ground that it is impossible to uproot. We in the Knights don't like killing but we believe that it is better than keeping the evil alive to grow, it's a very bad version of peace I agree, but I would rather kill one than kill an entire planet."

"It's better to keep a life rather than take one." Piper said the fear in her voice gone as she glared a hole into Seth's back.

"Sometimes Miss McLean but it is best for the planet when one dies rather than a thousand. Until you have killed for yourself, I will not force you onto it and you can do what you see fit do to do. Now away from all the gruesome stuff of death, I'll show you the bridge and one of our best pilots." Seth said, leading us to an elevator just like those on Genesis, the water piled in under and the lift shot up until we reached the very top, passing by ten floors of the ship in a matter of seconds before we slowed down around the fourteenth and ended on the fifteenth. The very top floor was dedicated to just being a command room, five of the knights ran around looking at computer monitors with figures that were moving to fast for a mortal but apparently that gave the knights no trouble as they were scribbling things down on IPads before literally taking the information and throwing it across the room where another knight caught the information and put it into their own IPad.

"Ven!" Seth shouted over the bridge, causing a man who had earlier been sitting down in a chair around various switches and blinking lights that I had no idea what did, stood up and I got a good look at him. He was five foot nine and had blonde spiked hair that was brushed over to the right with a fohawk forming down the middle and the rest of the spikes seemed to defy the laws of physics as they stood up easily, his eyes were a dark blue, like a lightening storm was happening. He wore a grey chestplate with the symbol partly covered by two leather straps that held two scimitars and straight down his back was a long staff with a long blade attached to the end. Around his waist was a black leather belt and then below were grey leg guards that had seen better days as there were many scratches adorning the armour but you could see the remnants of a zigzag pattern. On his arms was more grey armour with more scratches on them nod more of the same zigzag pattern except more defined as there was a slight red tinge to the armour. In his left hand he held a normal grey helmet that also had a blank sliding face mask with a long black scratch running from the left eye to the right cheek bone. All in all, he looked like a good fighter, I hope.

"Seth!" Ven shouted as he saluted him before pulling him in for hug, "What brings you up into the bridge?"

"Showing the new commanders around." Seth said, gesturing to us while we just waved awkwardly.

"Ah, I was wondering when I was going to meet you three. Name's Ventus, but please call me Ven. I'm one of Markel's half brothers and for this flight the captain of this ship. In reality, this ship belongs to Seth." Ven said, shaking our hands and planting a small kiss on Piper's which made her blush and Jason glare.

"Bring up a hologram of Fornostia for me please!" Seth shouted and one of the people nodded and a hologram of the planet appeared. It wasn't a circular shape like Earth or any planet that you see in a movie. It was more of a cube shape and the cubes corners looked to be pushed in towards the planet's core and at each site, eight bright coloured beams shot out and formed a sphere around the planet.

"Ah, Fornostia." Ventus said as he stared up at the holographic planet,"The planet is completely covered in snow. A blizzard occurs every hour, but the natives can withstand it. The Amari are one of the riches as the planet has many Furmat veins running below the surface. And the King and Queen are powerful allies to Chaotica."

"Furmat?" I questioned, not knowing what it was.

"Furmat is a fuel, ten kilos can easily power a whole planet for a hundred years. The army usually uses it as fuel for the ships and our space stations. The danger of it is that it's highly explosive and difficult to mine. That's why the army and Chaotica mostly uses the power of the elements to run things. More efficient." Seth said as he pulled up an image of the element. It was a deep, sapphire blue with small, ruby red veins running over it's surface.

"What's up with the beams of light coming from the planet?" Jason questioned as he brought that image up again.

"That is the planetary defence system. The people many years ago dug into the earths core and found something down in the core. Some say it was a jewel, others a man. We don't know, but they tapped into the power and were able to control it. They forced it out of eight exits in the planet's surface and they got this. A colourful and powerful energy sphere. We can pass through safely. The Primordials blessed every ship in order for it to pass through their defences." Ventus said as he put his helmet on.

"Put me on the intercom," Seth said, making Ventus push a few buttons before giving him a thumbs up, "Hello everyone. This is Supreme Commander Azreal speaking. In a few minutes, we will be passing through Fornostia's shields and then we are going to be doing a combat drop down to the planet's surface. So will all of Markel's squad get to the hangar now and enter your ships and all of Kara and Maria's squad meet at the drop ship and tanks. Leave the Splinter for me and our new commanders and we'll meet you all done there," Seth turned to us with a grim look of determination on his face, "You three ready for this?"

"Like we have much of a choice." I said as I looked him straight in the eye.

"That's the spirit!" Seth said more cheerfully than I would've liked him to, "Ventus, keep the Harbringer at a cruising altitude of thirty five thousand feet. You have full reign of this ship the moment we leave."

"Sir!" Ventus said as he instantly straightened up before saluting Seth with his left hand, unlike the military that use their right. Seth turned around, his black cape swishing as he did so before walking out of the room while Ventus barked commands into the intercom and to the people who were now bringing up battle plans. The three of us followed after Seth and once we got into the elevator, we instantly shot down at great speeds and I lost count of how many floors we passed after five.

After a few moments, the elevator slowed down and we were in the hangar of the ship as there were many ships of varying shapes and sizes, some were small one man ships that looked like any military fighter plane apart from the small droid that was in them and Markel was currently getting into along with others while the others were big troop transports that had sliding doors and also two glass balls on either side of the wing that held a type of gun and I seen my sister and Kara getting into. As Seth stepped into the room, all activity ceased as all eyes turned to us.

"We'll pass through the defence barrier in a few seconds and once we do, it'll be fighting from there on in. No doubt the rebels know we're coming so expect some heavy cannon fire once we hit the stratosphere. Once we've landed, give 'em hell." Cheering met the small speech as the Knights loaded up into the transport or fighters before a small shudder shook the ship and once it passed every ship that was sitting idle lifted from the hangar before they all turned towards the exit and seconds later, all had gone, leaving the hangar bare apart from a ship that sat at the very middle. The ship was ten metres in length, five in width and height. The ship was in a streamlined ship like many of the bullet trains back on Earth but the point at the front was more angular. The ship had two five metre long, white wings at either side equipped with two green missiles and thin black barrels that had a thin cable attached to the back of them and into the ship. The ship was pure black and had a glossy sheen to it and along the side in shining white letters was the name SPLINTER. Seth began to walk towards it and the back panel of the ship fell down slowly, forming a ramp to the interior. The walls of the ship were a chrome silver with black panels holding blinking colourful buttons along with screens stood. Along the walls were some futuristic rifles and ammo and at the front were ten seats in groups of two and a drivers seat with a aeroplane type steering wheel. Seth immediately ran up into the cockpit before pressing multiple buttons and soon the ship was in the air and was cruising into space as we took our seats. A few hundred metres ahead of us was the planet and it looked exactly like the hologram. Seth immediately began accelerating towards a point on the planet that looked as if a thunder storm was happening and I realised that we had caught up to all the ships and the Splinter took position at the head.

"Good to see you finally joined us Commanders." Markel said almost tauntingly.

"Okay, let's go over the plan once more. Markel, you and your squadron are going to hit the rebels from the sky where you think the most help is needed. Maria, you and your squad will land behind the King and Queen's forces and push through. Kara, your squad will focus on the air cannons so the Harbringer can come in and Ventus can have some fun." Ven's voice broke over the comm's,

"Finally. The big guns are coming in." Seth continued on as if nothing happened,

"Percy, Jason, Piper and I will drop in at the middle and we all push them to Kara's squad. Then we'll stay a day or two if we're allowed." Many 'Yes sirs!" we're heard before ten of the ships broke out of formation and started to spiral towards the surface while the Splinter and six transports stayed behind.

"We're beginning our bombing run." Markel's voice sounded through the comms before it was replaced by the sound of explosions and screaming. When the explosions faded away, Seth gunned the engines and the Splinter became a blur before it punched into the storm cloud and then we could see the battle.

People in various clothes were fighting for control over a bridge that lead to an elegant palace on the left hand side. On the right hand side were the rebels dressed in blue armour and the left hand side was the Amari army dressed in red and green. The Amari look like humans on first glance but once you look close enough, you'd see that there was spike coming out from their elbows and they had gills on their necks that were connected to water tanks on their backs. I didn't get much more time to look as the rebels cannon's started to fire at us, forcing the entire army to scatter but as quickly as it started it stopped at Markel flew in close and fired a missile to buy time. Three of the transports flew to the left and Maria and her squad all unloaded before the three ships left the battlefield and Kara's squad did the same although more stealthily due to their part of the plan. The Splinter did several runs over the armies and several times, the black guns whirred to life as people dropped down either wounded or dead due to the hail of bullets. Before starting the eighth run, the back door opened and Seth typed in some codes before casually walking to the door us following.

"What now!" Piper shouted over the rush of the wind as her stomach was covered in black metal.

"Give me your hands and don't let go!" Seth shouted back. We did what we were told and instantly I wished we didn't as Seth jumped out, his weight forcing us out as well. All I could hear was the sound of wind rushing through the air before I looked down and seen the snowy ground coming up to meet us, fast. On instinct, I raised my hand and a high powered burst of water shot out and I quickly formed it into that off a slide. Seth seen this as he stared at me before muttering 'impressive' while Jason was using the air to slow himself down and Piper was using the Greek Fire in her armour to slow herself down. We all stared in shock as Seth just angled himself down until he was vertical with the ground and just before he hit the ground, his body flipped over until his feet were pointing down and he hit the ground hard, throwing snow up around him and those who were close to him. I hit my slide with great speed and my feet collided with one of the rebels with enough force to throw him back ten metres and into more soldiers. Looking to where Seth landed, I seen a crater but Seth was already out if it, his black compound bow in his hands and an arrow notched. A rebel stupidly decided to rush and the sound of a bow was heard before a sickening crack was heard as it went through his head and into another body. The Amari in question gave a short scream before the arrow started spinning and made a perfect hole in his body. I wrenched my gaze from him and uncapped Riptide, the metre long sword growing in my hand. I blocked an Amari's strike before using Luke's disarming technique before quickly slamming the hilt onto his head, dropping him to the ground. Three tried to rush me shortly after, I parried one blade, disarmed another and hit the last one with a high pressure burst of hot water straight to his face, causing him to scream before I knocked them into unconsciousness.

I made good headway through the army, being sure not to kill anyone and sometimes I was beside either Piper, Jason, Seth, Luke or Layla as we cut through the army. A scream pulled me from the guy I was fighting and turning around I seen Maria was in the hands of what I would assume was the leader as his armour was more intricate and looked more regal. Something snapped and I seen red as I punched through the army making a bee line straight for the man and once I reached him I quickly cut off one of the arms he was using to choke my sister. The man gave a shout of pain which everyone heard over the battlefield as all eyes locked onto us. Seth's gaze was piercing as if he was judging on what I would do. The Amari leader gave me a death glare before pulling a metre and a half long silver sword from its sheathe before he swung it at me in a wide arc. Riptide rose to meet it and sparks flew as the two blades met in a clash. I held Riptide in position while the other man was grunting in pain trying to move his sword closer to me. Raising one of my legs I pulled it to my body before quickly pushing it out, smashing into the Amari's chest. The rebels gave screams of annoyance as they tried to rush me but the Knights quickly pushed then back over the bridge and towards Kara's squad who were waiting for them as fire erupted out from the caves and explosions rocked the ground as the cannons were destroyed. Staring at the leader in front of me, I gave a small growl before rushing forward at crazy speeds and delivering punishing blows over his body and when I was done, my armour was coated in many splashes of blood and he was on his back, blood flowing from his wounds like a waterfall. Stalking over, I spun Riptide in circles, which made a whizzing sound which he heard as he gave out small whimpers.

"Please my Lord. Please don't kill me." The man said, fear in his voice as I positioned Riptide above his chest. I glared at the Amari which pure hate in my eyes but as he couldn't see behind the visor, he didn't flinch. I raised Riptide and in a quick motion, brought it down, cracking the armour and piercing his heart. The Amari gave one more scream before his mouth welled up with blood, making him choke as blood trickled from his mouth and down his chin and then he stopped moving. I quickly capped Riptide before rushing over to Maria and helped her up off the snowy bridge.

"Thanks Percy." She muttered as I slung her arm around my shoulders and slowly trudged through the snow and body laden bridge over to the rest of the Knights who were tying down the rebels that survived the final onslaught. Looking over his shoulder, Seth seen me making slow progress before he ran/teleported over to me and putting Maria's other arm around his shoulders so we were both carrying her weight.

"You did good work Percy. I'm sorry you had to kill in your first fight with us." Seth said as he stepped over the body of an Amari soldier who had an arrow lodged in his eye. I didn't respond. How could I? I killed a person in cold blood, no regrets or remorse, just pure anger. Seth didn't try to push the subject as we made our way to the others.

"Hey is the battle over?" Ventus' voice broke over the comms, causing me to jump slightly in surprise and Maria moaned in pain as I yanked her arm.

"Yeah, Kara's squad took longer than expected to destroy the cannons." Seth replied and I could practically hear Ventus pouting.

"Can I at least fire one shot?"

"Permission granted." Ven gave a whoop of enjoyment and the Harbringer broke through the cloud cover and a whirring that broke the silence as a red laser collided beside the bridge, causing a small avalanche to start.

"Commander Azreal," a voice said and I focused onto a person who stood in front of us. He was six foot twelve and had the typical Amari shape but he had red scales in a circle on either cheek and he wore a snow white crown with gold thrown in and some jewels around the perimeter that looked expensive, "Thank you for coming to our aid when we called."

"King Sherda," Seth said, bowing politely as he could while holding Maria, "It's our duty to come to the aid of our allies."

"Will your soldiers stay a while or will you be flying off to a new fight." The king said with a slight smirk on his face.

"We would be honoured your majesty," a small beeping in my helmet occurred and a small envelope message appeared. It didn't open on my helmet but by the way Seth's body shook, I'm guessing that it wasn't good, "I'm sorry your highness, but something has come up. We must leave." Seth said before the Harbringer slowly came to the ground and opened its back ramp allowing us to get in.

"No rest for the wicked?" Sherda said as he walked with us to the Harbringer.

"It appears not," Seth muttered, "Knights! We must leave Fornostia! We are needed elsewhere!" The Knights instantly saluted before they formed ranks and followed after us. Soon everyone was in and the Harbringer was once again into the air and out of the defence system.

"Where are we going?" Markel said as he left the elevator and took Maria from us and carried her bridal style.

"Dattoin," The one word caused everyone except Jason, Piper and I to stop, "Captain Castilian and Lieutenant Nightshade have called for aid."

"You don't mean Luke Castellan and Zoë Nightshade, do you?" I asked and Seth gave a small nod.

"Ventus, set a course for Dattoin. Everyone else grab your rifles. This is going to be a tough fight. Everyone dismissed." The army scattered and left only Seth and us three.

"What's Dattoin?" Jason asked.

"Dattoin is the the harshest, most arid planet you would ever find in the known universe. A sandstorm ravages the planet and it can rip flesh from bone if not covered up. Dattoin is the Universe's version of Tartarus." Seth said before he walked away, all happiness gone from his walk. All three of us turned to each other in fear before following after Seth who was just down the corridor.

"What do you need us to do?" Piper asked and Seth turned around surprised that we followed him.

"Nothing." Was his simple answer.

"We can help!" Jason shouted at him. If he was intimidated by Jason, he hid it well.

"There is nothing to do at the moment. When we get to Dattoin, you three are coming with me to help them and their squad get out."

"Then why did you tell the others to grab their rifles?" I asked generally confused.

"They're going to cover us from the daemons that will most likely chase us back to the Harbringer so we can get away safely. For now get some sleep, we'll be there in half an hour." Seth said before he disappeared from sight as he used the blessings power. The three of us just followed his words and found the nearest beds before swiftly falling asleep.

Thirty minutes later, Kara woke us up, a black rifle in her hands that you would see the military generally use except it had three barrels along with a black liquid that was sloshing about in a glass chamber. On the side it said X-23 NECRO RIFLE. We followed Kara in complete silence as she lead us to the ramp. There was Markel, Maria on crutches and Seth who held a two silver revolvers in his hands. There was only one barrel this time but it was giving an unearthly orange pulse. On his back was a large black rifle that had four barrels with a scope on it which then had three smaller scopes in front of it to provide extra range. The weapon a glass chamber on the bottom that held a Phoniex red solid in it and on the side it read DM- 790. Beside Markel was a table filled to edge with more weapons, from pistols to shotguns to grenades that glowed.

"Take a weapon." Kara said, indicating to the weapons table. On inspection there were three rifles that were the same weapon Kara had, two rifles that had two barrels with the magazine on the top, it looked like a normal gun except for the fact there was red glowing lines on it and inscription on the gun was X-11 GREY MATTER. I instantly picked it up. The last weapons were the same revolvers as Seth except they were glowing a deep purple, on the barrel it read SX-36 WORP SPEED. I took one of those as well as Piper who also took a NECRO RIFLE that instantly turned a harsh white rifle with purple lines running across it. Kara's eyes widened at this and she looked at Seth who didn't seem fazed. Jason picked up a GREY MATTER rifle along with the NECRO RIFLE. Each of us walked over to Seth and he turned to us.

"Before we continue on, we need to give you three code names. Mine is Azreal, Maria's called Hydraknot, Kara's called Umbar and Markel is called Damair. What are yours?"

"I'll be called Strider." Jason said as he slung the GREY MATTER around his back and hefted the NECRO RIFLE.

"Call me...Talon." Piper said as she held the WORP SPEED and the NECRO RIFLE was around her back.

"I'll be called Hydosis." I said as I holstered the WORP SPEED and held the GREY MATTER in my arms. Seth just nodded at each of the names before a low grinding occurred and the ramp slowly descended and I seen the surface of Dattoin. It was a harsh black colour with red grass poking out in tufts here and there before the wind ripped them from the ground. In the ground were large bones that looked as if they could have come from a whale due to the size of them.

"Okay, we'll drop you from ten feet above the ground but it's up to you lot to figure a way back up due to the amount of fire power that's going to be coming from us." Ventus said over the comms.

"I hear you Ven. Just don't get hit out of the sky." Seth replied before all four of us ran off the ramp and jump into the harsh black land.

"Which way are we going?" Jason questioned as he swung his rifle round in a sweeping motion.

"Captain Castellean and Nightshade are half a mile from our position, we'll join up and then run back." Seth said before he started to walk towards them, his WORP SPEED revolvers in his hands as he scanned the perimeter, the rest of us doing the same and soon we fell into a formation without any of us noticing. Seth was at the front, Piper and Jason behind him back to back and I took up the rear, each of us looking out for anything out of the ordinary.

After an hour of walking in a straight line, the sound of gun fire broke through the silence and we all broke into a run as we seen multicoloured bullets fly out from a central position along with the pained screams of something as the bullets hit home. Seth was the first one to start shooting as he raised his revolvers and twelve loud cracks filled the air as twelve oranges bullets flew as if they were a continuous stream and the pained yelp of creatures was all the confirmation he needed to know he hit something as he quickly holstered the revolvers before taking out the large rifle on his back. Jason joined in with the shooting as the NECRO RIFLE quickly fired four shots from its chamber and Jason did it so quickly that the black liquid was almost gone after a minute of shooting. Piper joined in as she raised the revolver at the fog and fired six times before a yelp filled the air followed by a roar of frustration as something marched out of the fog. It was easily taller than Cerebus and looked a lot more deadly than the friendly dog guardian of the Underworld. The creature looked like it was a drakon and hydra mixed together and then put on steroids as it had fifteen heads and dark black scales along with the spiked tail but the fact that it had large veins popping all over its body made it even more disgusting as they glowed with a harsh green light and the veins seemed to grow bigger. The thing roared at us before I pulled the trigger on the GREY MATTER. At first, nothing happened except for the fact the two barrels started moving up and down, parallel to each other but then the hail of bullets came out in a continuous stream of red and the hydra heads slumped forward from the hail of bullets shredding through their heads and reduced them to pulpy messes. When I let go of the trigger, the barrels were smoking and the hail of bullets from the centre stopped.

"Who approaches on..." A voice shouted and it was awaiting an answer which Seth provided,

"A wet, foggy day with a happy thought."

"Commander Azreal. Glad to see you." and I was shocked as Luke stepped out of the fog. He looked exactly the same, down to the scar across his face. He wore red robes with white stripes running down the sleeves with a drakon scale chestplate. His hands were covered with leather gloves that had silver spikes on the knuckles. Up to his elbows were metal gauntlets that had wires of varying colours running to different points. Around his neck was a white cape with the symbol of Hermes on the back as well as the Chaos sign. On his legs were black trousers that had leather belts around them and held a dagger in a sheathe on either leg. His feet were covered by black combat boots that were covered in sand from the planet. Around his waist was a belt much like Piper's except it was larger and a familiar sword was attached to the belt, Backbiter. In his arms he carried a full face mask that was red on the right side and black on the left.

"Captain Castellean, good to see you're in one piece. Now were is Miss Nightshade?" Seth said as he jumped into the makeshift trench where he was met with a hug by Zoë. She wore pure silver armour that was almost blinding to look at. Her chest plate accumulated for her hunter lifestyle as it wasn't restricting and across her stomach was a leather belt that held two hunting knife sheathes. On her legs were silver leg guards that were designed like vines as they wrapped around in strips and showed the black trousers she was wearing. Her feet had silver hiking boots that had definitely seen better days. Her arms were covered in silver spiked gauntlets and around her wrists were ten crossbow bolts each. She wore a black shirt that had a design of the Huntress constellation and I almost laughed at it. On her neck was a small red cape that held the symbol in silver and connected to that was a red hood with a black face mask. Attached to her back was a silver quiver, arrows and bows like the ones she would use back in the days of the hunt. All in all same old Zoë, except for the man hating thing.

"Thank the gods someone came!" Zoë exclaimed before she seen us and instantly had a dagger at my neck, "Who are you and what are you doing with Commander Azreal?" She demanded, her volcanic eyes burning in fury.

"You don't speak old English anymore?" I said which shocked me as I thought that it was her way of life.

"What do you mean I don't speak it anymore. I haven't met you before today." I gave her a small grin before uncapping Riptide which made her and Luke's eyes bug out off their heads before they both embraced me in a hug.

"Yeah as touching as this reunion is," Seth said as he flicked a switch on his rifle, "We need to get going." Luke put his helmet on before picking up his own GREY MATTER rifle while Zoë picked up a DM-790 and soon we were running over the Plains of Dattoin at great speeds due to the blessing and shots rang out from all our guns due to the amount of daemons that were in our path.

"Percy, do you want to introduce us to your friends?" Piper said as she shot a daemons that looked like a cross between a shark and a lion point blank in the face with her NECRO RIFLE causing it to explode into tiny bite sized chunks.

"Guys, Zoë Nightshade, former huntress and lieutenant in the Hunters of Artemis and Luke Castellean, son of Hermes," I looked at Luke to see if it was fine to give the next piece of info out, he just nodded, "Host of Kronos or Saturn. You two, Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, bane of Gaia and praetor of New Rome. Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, Bane of Gaia, charmspeaker and Zoë don't complain about her being a child of Aphrodite, she is a lot different." I said as I seen Zoë's mouth opening to form an insult.

"Nice to meet you!" Luke shouted over the roar of his rifle as the stream of red bullets tore through the flesh and bones of a squid thing and the wind quickly devoured it.

"You too! But still Host of Kronos?" Jason shouted as his NECRO RIFLE blew up another daemon.

"Don't remind me about that. I was angry and the power Kronos offered me was tempting." Luke replied as he grabbed a daemon's head before breaking its neck.

"Less talk more shooting!" Zoë shouted as she and Seth were laying waste to everything ahead of us with one shots as the purple bullets flew like a storm. In the distance I could see the white underbelly of the Harbringer and slowed down my pace so I was beside Luke.

"You have a way up?" I questioned as I grabbed my WOPR SPEED before sending an orange bullet into the skull of a hellhound on meth and steroids.

"Nope." Luke replied as he quickly unsheathed Backbiter and slammed the blade into the eye of a small snake below us.

"Grab on." I said as the ramp came in to view and Luke did just that as Piper grabbed onto Zoë and the two shot up in a stream of pink fire which surprised me while Jason used the wind to lift up himself and Seth while I used a high powered burst of water and me and Luke were propelled into the air, narrowly dodging all the streams of flying bullets that were piercing into the many ranks of the monsters below us. As soon as my feet touched the ground the bullets need as the ramp closed up quickly and Ventus took the Harbringer higher into the sky.

"So Perce, what brings you to the Knights?" Luke questioned as he took of his helmet and placed the rifle on his back.

"Well, it was just after the defeat of Gaia." I told him and Zoë everything, from the moment the new demigods came, to the framing of us three and finally Annabeth cheating on me with a mortal. I then told him how Seth found us and then joining the Knights. Jason and Piper occasionally throwing things in as well.

"No way could Annabeth be that stupid. Why on earth would she cheat on you?" Luke said and I had a small feeling he was wanting to teleport to Earth just to talk some sense into her.

"Luke let it go." Zoë said as she placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, which actually worked.

"Are you two... dating?" I said as I looked between them as they looked at me shocked.

"As if I would date someone like him!" Zoë said as she distanced herself from Luke. I looked back to Piper who had a smug smile on her face.

"Don't try to lie about love in front of a child of Aphrodite." Piper said looking at the two with one eyebrow raised and her arms crossed over her stomach. There was a staring competition for five minutes where there was completely silence while Luke, Jason and I looked between Zoë and Piper's silent forms as if it was a tennis match. Zoë eventually cracked,

"We're not dating!" Zoë shouted out, her face going red from either embarrassment or anger, I didn't know as she stormed out of the room, muttering curses under her breath. I looked over to Luke to see his face had also gone red,

"We're not dating." he muttered meekly before all but running out of the room before I got to ask my question. How exactly did they come back from the dead?

I decided to put the thought to the back of my head as we walked out of the room and towards were it looked like Luke and Zoë did.

"Piper," Jason said as he stopped in the middle of the hall as did Piper, "How did you summon that pink fire?" Piper looked as if she was about to answer but then couldn't.

"I think I can be of assistance," Seth said as he walked around the corner, all armour off and wearing a Batman shirt with black jeans and black shoes, "Piper here is a very special child of Aphrodite. Only a few children every couple of centuries get this power. Aphrodite herself has it but has never been able to use it although she has tried many a time. This fire is probably the strongest flame after hellfire." Seth said as he summoned a small black flame that danced across his palm before fading away.

"I thought you couldn't use your godly powers?" Jason said as he stared where the hellfire used to be. Seth just smiled,

"I've got to have some secrets now, don't I." He then disappeared from view, leaving us shocked and also quite impressed that he could summon hellfire so easily. Piper was staring at her hands before a small flicker of pink flame danced in between her finger tips before it stopped. She gave a wicked smile before staring at Jason who suddenly looked pale.

"Now I have something to hit you with every time you give me an electric shock."

"You wouldn't do that, would you?" Jason said as his voice held a waver of fear.

"We'll see." Was her simply reply before she skipped down the hallway.

"Good luck Jason." Was my encouragement before I went in the opposite direction of Piper as I seen her waiting at the corner with a small flame on her finger. She gave me an evil smirk and mouthed 'Jason' and I instantly ran down my corridor. A few moments later, I heard Jason very 'manly' scream as Piper burnt him. I gave an internal laugh before entering my chambers before falling asleep on the hammocks that was hung up. But this time, I got a demigod dream.

I was in my body, although it was more of an ethereal image of myself as I was nearly transparent but everything around me was normal and I knew where I was. It was Camp Half Blood and the Zeus and Poseidon cabins that were burnt down had been rebuilt which was amazing considering we'd been away for only a week. The campers were going about there business as if nothing was wrong but I could feel a tense atmosphere coming from the Big House. Walking up, I really wasn't surprised as my body just passed through the wooden door and into the ping pong room. Inside where the twelve cabin counsellors, excluding Annabeth who had Malcom as her stand in and Jake who was standing in for Leo. At the other side of the table was Chiron who was nervously flicking his tail around as he stared at two of the big three and the love goddess who looked anything but happy.

"Where are our children?" Zeus questioned as calmly as he could but even though I was in a dream, I could smell ozone coming from his body.

"We... We don't know Lord Zeus," Will said, "We swear on the Styx." Thunder boomed in the sky and seeing as nothing happened to Will or the rest, Zeus anger lessened.

"Okay, so you don't know about our children. But what about our cabins?" My dad questioned, pointing between him and Zeus. All the counsellors had a counsellors had a bewildered look on their faces before Travis spoke,

"Lord Zeus, Lord Poseidon, you're cabins are fine." Obviously the wrong thing to say as Zeus exploded in rage,

"Our cabins were burnt down and then rebuilt. You campers thought we wouldn't notice but Dionysus told me he seen some from the Apollo Cabin and Hepheteus cabin throwing Greek Fire jars and shooting fire arrows into our cabins and campers from the Aphrodite, Hecate, Hermes and more hoisted three demigods into the air before parading them around!" The cabin counsellors looked shocked but Jake Mason and Will Solace looked as angry as Zeus as Jake was shaking in rage and Will's body was glowing slightly.

"Lord Zeus," Will said, anger seeping into his voice, "I swear on the River Styx that I didn't orchestrate such an attack." Jake recited the same oath as did the other counsellors and Zeus anger lessened and that's when the dream changed.

This time I was standing on a barren black planet and although I had only been there once, I automatically knew that the place was Dattoin.

Nothing had changed except that there was a golden palace in the centre of the desert plains, which easily contrasted against the black land. Surrounding the palace were dead bodies with out heads or limbs and some were just so destroyed I couldn't tell what was flesh from organ. The most shocking thing was the Harbringer ripped into two even pieces and placed as if it was sort of a gate and the bodies of soldiers scattered around the perimeter, blood splattering their armour that were ripped to scrap metal. I didn't see any faces so I didn't see who the armour belonged to but I didn't want to progress further into the land as an evil presence was emitting from the castle and the presence was stronger than that of Gaea. Fear clasped my body as the gilded, golden doors opened into an eternal darkness and a laugh erupted from within it, a cold, harsh laugh that could feel as if it could drain all the happiness in the world.

I woke up from the hammock in a gasp of air, sweat wetting the top of my forehead and causing my hair to stick to my scalp. Looking around no one was in the room and for that I was glad for then I wouldn't have to explain the sudden nightmare I had. Getting up from the makeshift bed, I exited the room, and was sort of surprised to see that the hallways were empty. A shout of a laugh erupted from somewhere in the ship and following the noise, I found myself outside a room with the words 'Game Room' engraved on it with silver lettering. Opening the door, I looked around and seen every type of game station from Earth and more as there were Virtual Reality helmets which Seth, Kara, Maria, Markel, Jason and Piper were playing, Luke and Layla were playing Air Hockey with people placing bets on one or the other while others were playing Playstation's, Wii's and Claw Machine's. Immersing myself in the room, I quickly forgot my dream as I played with some of the soldiers around the room, staying clear of the Virtual Reality helmet. Right now I was glad I took up this option, I had a good family or friends, we had every single game machine known to man and also was able to meet some old friends. The only day I was dreading was the day that Jason, Piper and I would have to return to our old world and I wasn't looking forward to it.
