"Years ago he appeared to my mother in a form. He wasn't his full form but he was still tangible. She fell for him and suprisingly he fell for her. Together they had me but my mother made it appear as if her husband was really my father. I believed it for years with my half brothers and half sister. We had stepsisters. I loved all of my family even my new stepfather. But then came the day they started coming more frequently. There had been occuances when monsters attacked but not like this. All over the neighborhood. Most families managed to escape unscathed. But not mine. They charged into the house like an army. Telekhines first and we took kitchen knives as the weapons. I ran upstairs and retrieved my guns. Using my heavier shotgun I managed to kill the monsters with them. But then IT came. Long body impercible and dangerous.
A mouth that spat poison. A drakon. It rammed into my house and sprayed poison around. One of my stepsisters was killed by the poison as well as one of my brothers. A few chunks of the roof fell atop my stepdad and sister. My other stepsister was eaten and my brother was crushed under a massive foot. It chased my and my mom and, before I could shoot, sprayed her with poison. I shot it's eyes and it died turning to dust. But it killed my entire family. I ran from the house that day. But I killed all monsters that came my way. I wound up here." he finished.
"But. It's just that KRONOS you know?"
"I know. But when I stole this from my fathers army two years ago after I ran from the monsters. I'm 15 years old and I ran when I was 13. I stole my sword and managed to fight better than with my gun." Omar said.
"But... I need to tell Chiron."
"NO! You have to promise you won't tell ANYONE!" Omar said his voice raising. "I'm sorry. But I'm begging you don't tell anyone. Do me this one favor."
"But... someone needs to know."
"Please Jennifer. Please." she hesitated then relaxed.
"Alright. I won't tell anyone. Just don't misuse your gift." Omar nodded.
"Thank you. I promise I'll find a way to make it up to you." He replied gratefully. "So should we kill this thing?" She gave a questioning look at the dragon. "Actually I have a better idea." she said.
Percy walked along in the arena about to train some from the Apollo cabin. "Alright. Try to find a sword that fits you." he said. He raised Riptide. "It must feel balanced in your hands. If it does then your moves will be better more fluent."
He said demonstrating on a practice robot that Annabeth had built and disarmed it" The more fluent the more of a chance to win. Once you have found the right weapon you must learn some tequniques. If you have a bigger opponent you must learn to use there weight against them like-" a roar sounded overhead. Percy activated his shield and spun around. His hellhound, Mrs. O'leary ran into the arena snarling. Overhead a gray dragon nearly 50 feet long roared overhead. In smashed down in the arenad folding it's wings back to it's side. Leaping off of it's back was Omar and a girl from the Aphrodite cabin, Jennifer. "You actually got to ride this dragon?" Omar nodded walking up.
"We managed to tame it." Omar said. "How?"
"The powers of Aphrodite." Jennifer replied. "Oh of course. Charmspeak right?" Percy asked.
"Yeah." she replied. The dragon stood protectivly over Omar and Jennifer. "It's alright." Jennifer said calmingly. "There friends." The dragon snorted and stared at him with evil glare. "You have your hellhound and I have my dragon." Omar said. Omar hopped onto it's back. "I'm going for a fly." Omar said before takeing off. Percy watched him leave then turned back to his lesson.
Jason and his group moved around slowly and stealthy. Jason had his sword drawn and his companions stood next to him. Reyna, Camp Jupiters other praetor for Roman Demi-
gods, stood beside him her own sword near her waist. There third member, Hazel a Daughter of Hades, had her small dagger ready. They were checking out the greek demi-
gods camp. Camp Half-blood they called it. What a small camp compared to the glory of new Rome. There problems would be the large dragon guarding as well as the golden fleece on the tree. Plus over 100 demi-gods, as well as the famous Percy Jackson, the savior of Olympus and the one who defeated Kronos. But he would fall with the his greek friends just as the greek had originally. Being a son of Jupiter had it's advantages. But there was another thing. Reyna sensed that a powerful force, hard to defeat in a war, was there in the camp. Being a daughter of Bellatona has powers like that. If there was something like that then they would have to focus there energy on defeating it first. As well as the monsters they kept in there camp. Those monsters, if asked, would join with them which would increase there complications.
"Reyna go left, Hazel right. I'll take down the center." The split up still crouching. Jason looked at the camp. They saw through the Mist for now. The sign says Camp Half-Blood but suddenly changes to Delphi's Strawberry Farm. The Mist is strong here.
"Reyna can you see anything?" she shook here head.
"No. But I can sense powerful demi-gods. I can also sense a force that can only be one of the 12 Olympians. And then something that must be as powerful as the big three if not more."
"Is it Percy?"
"No... this isn't right. I sense it's a demi-god. But who could be that powerful that they outweigh a god in strength?" "I don't know. Hazel do you sense any other children of Hades?"
"Three I think. And I can sense that they have skelatal warriors not bound to Hades. Which means I cannot take them out. Let's go before someone see's us." Jason nodded and they walked away heading towards there makeshift camp at a hotel. They reached it. A few of there demi-gods were perched outside to keep guard. Jason nodded as he passed them. They walked inside and Jason headed up to his room. Everyone got there own rooms here. But in his room was the house keeping. A women with her hair tied in a big hat. She had sunglasses on. She turned towards him and he knew immediately. Medusa. Jason quickly drew his sword just as she whipped off her hat and glasses. He cut off her head with a single swipe. She fell to the floor ash, except for here head. Reyna rushed in and saw the head. "Reyna get Frank to take the head back down to the trucks." she nodded and ran out. Medusa? She must have come here because of Percy. He killed her once.
Omar flew above the camp until dinner. As he sat down he stared at his empty plate. He gave a questioning look to his goblets as well. Empty. Suddenly his plate had a large hunk of steak, vegatables, and some potatos. It's been a while since he had eaten enough. He looked and saw that people were shoving a portion of food into the fire. A sacrifice to there godly parents. He knew it would have no effect but he shoved some of everything into the fire. "Do we have drinks?" he asked. "Just say what you want to the goblet and watch." Omar picked up the glass weary. "Vanilla coke." the liquid appeared in his cup. "Nice place and cups here." Percy laughed.
"Tommorow I'll get some training with a sword in you." they ate and as the day and night passed sword training came. Omar walked into the arena and saw it was empty except for robots, dummies, Percy, Mrs. O'Leary, and his dragon he named Stoneclaw. He walked up to his dragon and fed him some meat from a bucket. The dragon looked to Omar and then sat at the end of with the hellhound and overlooked the two demi-gods.
"Set you best robots against me." Omar asked. Percy nodded and waved up to a watch box. Robots whirred to life and hefted up there swords and shields. Omar pulled out his sword and faced them. One swung his sword and Omar dove and shoved it to the floor. He deflected a blow with his sword and shoved it deep into another bot. He swung it out and over killing another bot. Only 4 bots remained and two charged. Omar lept into the air and shoved his sword through it's head. He kicked off and landed on anothers head. One robot swung at him but as he lept off it collided with the other robots head. He ran forwards and shoved the sword through it's abdomen. It slid off his blade and he turned to Percy. The son of Posiden clapped with approval.
"I work with these bots but not this fast." Percy said drawing Riptide. "Now you fight me." Percy said raising his gleaming sword above his head. Omar and Percy circled each other swords raised. There swords connected and the thrill of battle filled him. Percy drew his sword back and Omar easily dodged and swung. Percy caught it just in time before Omar ran backwards. Omar froze time and walked behind his opponent. He unfroze it and Percy swung at open air. Omar kicked his leg and Percy fell. Omar's opponent turned and slashed but Omar deflected his blow. Omar summoned his shield and Percy mimicked his moves. Omar charged and as Percy swung Omar ducked and smashed his shield forwards and hit Percy's head. Percy stumbled backwards and Omar swung and Percy raised his sword. Omar swung his sword and managed to cut Percys shield out of his hand. It scattered away and off his wrist. Percy swung his sword now only having that as a defensive. There was water in the arena and Percy summoned it towards Omar. Omar looked deep within himself and sheathed his sword and shield. As the water rushed at him he used the power. HALF-BROTHER LEND ME YOUR POWER. Omar begged. As the water rushed forwards to him Omar used the power and diverged the water using Posiden's power to diverge the water away. Percy stood in shock at him. The water had not so much as touched Omar. Percy tried again and Omar used lightning and Zeus to destroy and evaporate the water. As a thrid volley of water was thrown he used his power of the dead and earth and somehow caused red fire on his hands and evaporated the water. GRANDMOTHER. HELP ME AND LEND ME YOUR POWER AS WELL. A rock erupted and grabbed Percy and locked him up to his neck in rock. The water did not save him from it and his sword was still scattered across the arena. Omar freed Percy from the earths grass and helped him up. A bronze gleam suddenly came from Percy's hand but Omar had just enough notice to grab the hand and point his sword at Percy's chest. He held the other demi-god like that for several seconds before releasing him. "I think you are definately a demi-god. Are you like Zeus or something in disguise?"
"I think I would know if I was Zeus, Percy. I just got lucky at beating you."
"But your power. What is that?" He was forced to lie again.
"I don't know. My power is randomly placed on me by random gods." he said. "I wish I knew." A horn blared. Percy smiled and looked towards the Big House. "Capture the flag time. Be careful. I think Annabeth has it out for you today though. One of the Aphrodite cabin wants to help you. Oh and your dragon can't help your team otherwise Mrs. O'Leary would have always won the game for us." Percy said. Omar picked some light armor and put it on quickly back in his cabin. Omar walked out and towards the group. Omar knew that as soon as the game started he could just freeze time and retrieve the flag but he didn't want to do that. Omar walked forwards as Percy his sword in hand gleaming stood with Chiron and Annabeth. Percy handed Omar a helmet with a blue plume on top just like the rest of the team.
"Remember no serious injuries. At least try to not do it. Alright when you hear the horn blow the game will begin. Get into the forest to set up your flags." Chiron said. They dispersed and Omar followed Percy to the forest. They set up there flag next to a large stone near the river.
"This is where my first game was." Percy said remembering. "I was attacked by a hellhound right here." Percy said pointing to the stone above the flag. "Follow me. Your power could help us get this flag." Omar nodded. Omar drew Maximus and he, Percy, and Jennifer began to run through the forest. "The Ares cabin is helping defend there flag. Once we secure the flag we need to get it across the other river. The one were passing over now." Percy said as he excelled them across using his fathers power. Once they were across a few of the Ares, Athena, Dionysus, and Nemisis cabin were waiting for them. There was about 12 of them in all. Percy leapt forwards. There was 4 for each of them. Omar drew his sword and attacked the three from Ares, and single one from Athena. He deflected blows from the Ares and smashed the leg out from under the Athena. He drew his sword backwards and caught and Ares with the flat of his blade. He aimed lower and cut a little out of a leg. The boy dropped in pain and with a swift punch he hit the head of his last attacker. Percy had taken down two from the Nemisis and was battling with the last one and an Athena. Jennifer was being beaten by the last Athena she had to face. Omar lept forwards and, with the hilt of his blade, smashed the Athena in the back. She dropped to the ground defeated. Omar looked at Jennifer.
"You ok?" he asked. "Yeah fine. Thanks though." Omar nodded and they continued on with Percy who had just defeated his opponents. They nodded to each other and left the twelve on the ground injured. A giant scorpian, an obvious monster, attacked. Omar lept out of it's stingers path. He jumped onto it's back and he stabbed a chink in it's armor. It squealed and collapsed. It turned to dust inside it's shell and it clattered to the floor. They continued until they came to a large pile of boulders. "This is Zeus's fist. Inside it is the entrance to the collapsed Labyrinth. The flags on top of it. Lets get it quickly." But as he began to climb to retrieve the flag a spear hurtled itself and pushed him off of Zeus's fist. Omar turned towards the source. A monstrous girl from the Ares cabin, Clarisse, was advancing on him. Behind here was Annabeth, and 10 of each of there cabins. Annabeth had her dagger out and Clarisse picked up here spear. It was the spear she called Maimer. Omar twisted his wrists spinning his sword. This is something he had waited a long time to do. A real fight. "Jennifer get the flag. I'll deal with them." the group laughed. Jennifer nodded and ran up towards the flag. "So an unclaimed wants to fight us? Theres 22 of us and just one of you." "That doesn't matter to me. I just want to win my first game at camp."
"Better luck next time then. Cause were gonna make sure you don't get that flag." Omar gripped his sword and charged. He used Gaeas powers and shot himself into the air and landed in the center of the group. He swung his sword managing to cut the arm of one near him. He smashed his helmet near it and his sword clashed with another. He kicked behind him and connected with the chest of a boy. A girl charged forwards and Omar let go of his sword lock and clashed with her. He knocked her down and hit his previous combatant. As he dropped another boy charged forwards. He locked swords with him and with his shield knocked him out. He swung his shield around hitting yet another enemy. That one flew back into another and they fell into the stream. He kicked the leg out from a girl and smashed a boys helmet. They both dropped. He managed to pick a guy up, armor and all and throw him against a tree. 10 down 12 to go. His blade connected with a boy, Malcolm, from the Athena cabin and he punched the air out of him. Malcolm dropped and Omar found himself face to face with Clarisse. The tip of her spear connected with his shield and he felt the current pulsing in his body. He fell down and she laughed.
"You fight better than I expected. But your still to lame to beat the 11 of us standing." Just then Omar got up and smashed his shield onto the spear. It crumpled like paper and even the spear head broke. She stared awestruck and roared like a boar. Before she could recover herself Omar smashed his shield on her head and she dropped like led. Omar lept forwards and connected blades bringing down another boy. A spear was thrown and he swung around slicing it in half. The thrower picked up the sword of the fallen warriors. His blade connected with yet another. But he could feel Annabeth heading behind him and he realized that she was using a spear to hit him. It seemed like time was slowing and he realized he had slowed time and he got of the way. He disarmed Annabeth and kicked her to the ground making time normal again. He defeated all his other opponents in a similar way. Jennifer had the flag and was near Omar. Percy was concious and looked at Omar with horror. Everyone else was as well as the earth began to shake. The sky rumbled and the lake raged. Lighting struck a crack in the ground opened and the water shot down. Three figures stood there. It was the big three.
"Son of Kronos! Your time has come!" Zeus roared raising the master bolt.
