Hey, Please, please review and thank you for spending time on reading my story so here it is:
CHAPTER 2
It's been 500 years and I was branded the strongest man well I'm actually second to Chaos but Chaos never kills so it's somehow fine. Everyone was afraid of me, everyone know me except of course, Earth, annoying little Earth. Let me get something straight. We were all betrayed, we were all used and that was the main ingredient to make you stronger. VENGEANCE. It's what keeps you going.
We were at the dining room of the Palace. The palace has about a hundred slaves. They were all voluntary of course. Some wanted to serve Chaos officially and some were castaways like us who volunteered to serve the creator of the universe. They served us a square of ambrosia and nectar. After Chaos transferred a part of his power into us we were able to eat the food of the gods. Each captain including the commander has an army of their own consisting about 300-500 people but the commander also has power to all the armies and captains. The army soldiers were powerful and can wipe out a god singlehandedly. I'd say they were as powerful as me before I trained but things were different after I trained. I now grew powerful, stronger, faster and I can teleport using portals actually all of us can and all the weapons of the army are made out of a substance only provided by Chaos himself.
"Thank you for the food" Jacob said.
"Yep, thanks guys" Neil said.
They ate the ambrosia. Vincent ate the square piece whole Neil, Noah, Jacob and me cut it into small pieces. Ethan and Nikolai pulverized it into powder then stuffed it into their mouth.
"PERCE, LET'S TRAIN!"
Vincent said with much excitement. Well, Vincent was the youngest to be recruited. He was recruited at the age of 15. While the oldest was Jacob who was 24 years old when recruited.
"Yeah,sure" I said.
After everybody was finished in eating the servants gathered our plates and left. Each person had something to do. Ethan and Nikolai were joined for a mission at some planet in another galaxy, meanwhile the others left to train their army. We went to the gardens and as we meet with a servant they graciously bow their heads. We went to the training room right in the corners of the garden where weapons, dummies, towels and many equipments were found. We went to change from our robes to a shirt and some shorts. We used our personal swords. Vincent had a iron sword with intricate designs written on the blade and a black, shining sword hilt with skulls at the end while I had 2 blades. A reddish- black sword which is slightly longer than Vincent's and had lighter weight due to a thin blade and another sword which was pure black with very much shining and detail. It was a special sword only given to him as it can make a god fade. Riptide was taken away from him and was given to Jack instead. He laughed as he thought that Jack would have already lost Riptide if it weren't enchanted.
I took out my reddish-black sword from my left as Vincent took out his sword. Vincent was always training with his sword and if I had to rank Vincent, he would probably be 2nd best at sword fighting.
We took our stance and the battle began. Vincent charged first. He attacked me at my right and I successfully blocked it. Next, he attacked me at my left and I countered it. He had amazing speed that the human eye can't follow. We kept doing it for a couple of times until I attacked him at his stomach but his stance made it easy for him to back away. The amazing speed he was putting made me realized he was really serious at sword fighting. He charged again and I quickly blocked it. I turned parallel to the sword to get near him as he pushed his sword towards me. I then quickly slashed my sword to him but he countered it. I then raised my arm as our swords were still tangled and I disarmed him sending his sword to the ground. He had a sad face but then turned into a smile.
"That was fun.", he said.
"pretty quick, if you ask me."
I replied.
"How about without swords? I know I can't beat you at swords or power since at a flick of a finger this palace can be destroyed due to the combined power of Chaos and Poseidon within you." He said.
"Fine, then"
I replied since I was curious at the result of hand to hand combat but right when I was getting pumped Jacob suddenly barged in saying that Chaos wanted to meet us so we made a portal for each of ourselves and landed right at the meeting room where we took our respective seats. Everyone was already there.
" Ethan, what's this about?" I questioned.
"I have no idea" He replied.
Chaos then appeared at his seat.
"So, there's another war brewing at Earth. I assign all the captains and a half of the army soldiers to fight including the commander, Percy." Chaos said.
"Wait, what?" I said.
"Is this one of those wars like the Kronos & Giae wait I mean Geae, How do you pronounce it?" Neil said.
"I'm pretty sure its Gaea, Neil" Noah replied.
"Easy for you, you came from there." Neil replied
"Wait, we are not fighting a war for those puny little Olympians" Percy said
"This is different, This is the biggest war I've encountered so far that it even required all the captains and a half of the army soldiers which adds up to about 1,400+ soldiers. Percy it has to be done. As far as I know, I too hate the Olympians for their arrogance and careless ruling but when the primordials rise including Gaea and Tartarus for the 2nd time they will destroy the Earth." Chaos said.
"They deserve it Chaos and I know that you know. Of all the 1,000+ creatures that I assassinated for you can I please have it as a favor?' I pleaded.
"No, Percy. If it can help you can kill tonight" Chaos said.
"Fine then, Chaos." I said.
"That's it then. I'll send all of you first and the soldiers next. Tomorrow at dawn you'll be arriving. I forgot to mention that each cabin leader and the Roman from Percy's generation have been made immortal and for the Poseidon cabin. I bet that you already know." Chaos said.
"That damn Jack!" I thought to myself. Ethan tried to cool me down. I respected Chaos and I will never question his commands but this was all too much for me. I can't save people who aren't worthy of saving but I guess I will have no choice. They used me.
Everyone was busy this cold night. Some were sleeping and some were training. I proceeded into the empty halls that was located near the throne room. It was cold but the air was intoxicating. I loved it. This kind of air gets me going. I was having mixed feelings about going back to camp after a lot of years but there was one thing I needed to do and it was definitely get vengeance. After I did Chaos' mission, I'll kill all those hands that was raised in my trial. I'll kill them all. Ethan, Noah and Nikolai would love it too. They were betrayed demigods. Ethan and Noah were both forgotten children of Hermes and Nikolai was an offspring of Hades. Ethan was killed due to the treason of conspiring with the enemy which was not real. Noah was killed by a monster in a mission and all the demigods with him lied about not seeing anything and Nikolai was forgotten as his existence was even erased after he died. Hades can't remember him and of course the Olympians played blind. My trail of thoughts was disturbed as my shoe hit the staircase. As I went up I reached a room, a dark room. As soon as I entered the lights went on automatically.
"Well, this will at least make me forge my mixed feelings"
I said it as I readied my fighting stance.
The man did nothing but grunt. Behind those locks of hair it revealed a face that would shock you. It was Hercules. Hercules was full of blood and another thing he was Percy's therapist, consultant and personal punching bag when he is mad.
The punches started and at least it removed his mixed feelings.
The sounds of pain was heard in some parts of the palace. The disturbing noises woke Jacob up and he felt sorry for Hercules.
Annabeth's POV
I regretted every bit of me betraying Percy. I hated it so much that I still had nightmares about him dying. Every death anniversary and birthdays of Percy was celebrated at camp with the lighting of a large bonfire at the center and every demigod who would like to pray for his soul and very much welcome since there was complications about his soul due to the fact that his soul was lost and Hades has no idea where to find him.
Suddenly we, the Immortal Cabin leaders were summoned to Olympus. I felt a thug at my stomach at the feeling. We gathered up and went to Olympus.
"Immortals, The prophecy we have been waiting for hundred of years has finally showed a sign. The primordials are rising and I am confident that we can beat them even with Gaea and Tartarus waking" Zeus said.
"Zeus, We cannot possibly win as we are very much outnumbered and their strengths are enormous" Athena said.
"Really?" Zeus questioned
"YES!" I replied.
"Well then, we will train the campers by the guidance of the immortal cabin leaders" Zeus said.
Zeus was arrogant and selfish. He favors Jason so much that I hate Jason a bit. Well, Jason was a little bit humbler than bighead Jack.
"Don't worry Zeus. We will take care of it" Jack proudly said.
Just then a dark void suddenly appeared and a man who had shiny white dot pattern moving in his robes. Everyone bowed except Jack.
"Who are you?" Jack said.
"I am Chaos, arrogant child. I came to tell that as much as I hate all the Olympians the primordials would do more damage than all of you. Your pathetic training will also end up nowhere as it would affect nothing at all of your low chances of actually surviving an hour at the war." Chaos said.
"Sorry, my lord" Zeus said
"What makes you so important, Chaos? Nice nickname!" Jack said.
"I am creator of the universe and because I hate the primordials more I will be willing to give 7 captains of my army that I have been forming with the best of the best. Those captains control a part of the army which is 300-500 members and I'll be willing to give half of the army together with the captains to you."
Chaos said.
"We are honored to be graced by their presence" Athena said.
"How strong are they anyway?" Jack said.
"The soldiers can beat a god blindfolded and single handedly while the captains and commander can kill you all with a finger's snap. AND THEY CAN KILL YOU IN A SPLIT SECOND!" Chaos said.
"Thank you, Lord Chaos" Zeus said.
"Honestly Zeus, my weakest warrior is a better king than you. I'll be sending the captains and the soldiers at the war. The soldiers will be training with me while the captains will train your pathetic campers" Chaos said.
6 dark voids appeared and 6 caped handsome men walked graciously out of it. I can feel immense power almost as strong as a god and even stronger than some god although I can feel that they weren't all the kind type.
PERCY POV
I summoned a portal and I entered it.
"And this here is my champion, personal assassin and the second strongest being, second to me of course." Chaos said.
I heard Chaos voices as I stepped out and heard everyone gasp and some cry while Jack just snickered and Zeus shouted
"YOU! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Zeus said.
"I am commander. Are you deaf? Besides I'd rather kill you all than spend time here. You should be thankful that I graced you with my presence." I replied.
"How dare you!" Zeus said.
He threw his master bolt and at a flick of finger the master bolt vaporized. I couldn't held back a laugh as all my mates were also smiling and laughing.
"That was the strongest weapon at Earth?" Neil said while laughing.
"You know what, I want to fight you, commander Percy. Bet you haven't changed at all" Jack said.
I took my red sword and he took out his Riptide. He started the fight by charging but I already pierced my sword a couple of times and made a letter at his chest, "P". Honestly he was 40 times slower than Vincent. My mates were the only one who could match my speed but out here my slash is slower than a second. All the Olympians was gasping and the bleeding Jack backed away. Zeus was angry and Poseidon was somehow regretful and sad. Just how I like it.
Thank you for the reviews. I'll be posting my next chapter soon. Please review some more, I'll gladly accept my mistakes. Forgive the bad grammar and thank you very much for reading. Percy is going to Camp, how will the campers deal with his ultimate destructive power? (especially Jack)
