Now to Camp Half Blood

At Camp Half Blood, though it has been 41 years since Percy and company have been here (Lost Hero Didn't happen), nothing much seemed to change. It was dinner time again,and dozens of demigods of various ages were sitting around, enjoying the food and company. But, if you looked closer, you would notice the change.

Their were many more cabins then before; on the god row of odd cabins, sat Cabin 13 (Hades), Cabin 15 (Hypnos) Cabin 17 (Morpheus) Cabin 19 (Janus) Cabin 21 (Boreas) Cabin 23 (Zephyr) Cabin 25 (Notus) Cabin 27 (Eurus) Cabin 29 (Aelous) Cabin 31 (Perceus) Cabin 33 (Nico) Cabin 35 (Grover) Cabin 37 (Alan, son of Bianca and Alex) Cabin 39 (Luke, son of Percy and Annabeth) Cabin 41 (Triton) and Cabin 43 (Hercules)

On the goddess side, the even numbers, sat Cabin 14 (Iris) Cabin 16 (Hecate) Cabin 18 (Nemesis) Cabin 20 (Hebe) Cabin 22 (Klione) Cabin 24 (Eos) Cabin 26 (Amphirite) Cabin 28 (Persephone) Cabin 30 (Nike) Cabin 32 (Annabeth) Cabin 34 (Bianca) Cabin 36 (Clarisse) Cabin 38 (Chroma) Cabin 40 (Thalia) Cabin 42 (Zoe) and Cabin 44 (Alleshia, Alex's sister). Of course, there are more to design, but sadly Annabeth was often busy with some problem or another, be it invasions, raids or warning Percy of impending visits from his step mother.

Just watching a meal showed how much things have changed. The Zeus and Dionysus tables are empty, in fact the table for Dionysus is gone entirely. You would also notice a larger dinning area, with several new tables. While many of these tables lacked campers, such as the Perceus, Thalia and Chroma tables, you could see a few of the new tables were occupied; two little Iris kids were at their table, and at their own table sat the four current demigod kids of Hecate. The Demeter table, usually rather talkative, has oddly gummed down to a depressed whisper. Could this be fear of the gods wrath from their mother's actions?

The Big Three were rather childless again. After all, seeing as Zeus was gone for 20 years, with his last demigod killed 4 years ago due to a few rough giants and a large can of bug spray, and with Hades swearing to Persephone 100 years of no demigods after the big three pact was dissolved (In a combination of showing his devotion to her, and just to rub it in his brothers faces, as of now, he has 59 years to go, and the last twenty seem to have been quite happy, and with his annoying step mother gone, lets just say I hope he doesn't "extend winter"). Poseidon himself had been relatively chaste, he only had two demigod siblings at the moment, thus the two general black haired, green eyed demigods sitting at his table.

Of course to say, that doesn't mean the other gods haven't been "busy", as some might put it. While still toned down like the atmosphere, you still saw some normal, friendly atmosphere, the Ares campers, numbering a good bakers dozen, were laughing, belching and having one little arm wrestle championship match. The lucky numbered 7'd kids of Athena were eating like stuck up British people, a few of them were event using utensils to consume their nymph cooked pizza and hamburger. The always blustering Aphrodite table, home to 12 beauties and 3 fine young men (as their opposing genders would put it), were gossiping and looking over their nails, with some strange, succulent, french originating Flambe dessert sat on their table for later after their salads (A/N, see, I'm trying to capture their dinner like personalities here, and seeing as their the kids of Aphrodite, I'd see them as fearing getting overweight, if that was possible at Camp Half Blood), and at the Hermes table, 12 joke loving little pranksters were laughing, and a prominent pair of twins among them, two skinny brown haired and eyed boys, seemed to be whispering amongst themselves, and had something under their table...

Then from the staff table, not only staffing Chiron, but also a new comer, a man with paling blond hair and blue eyes with a friendly glint who appeared to be approaching his late 50's. The new man immediately tried to get everyone's attention.

"Attention, attention everyone" no one seemed to respond. He seemed distraught briefly, before trying again.

"ATTENTION!" again, he was ignored. And then, the Flambe exploded, punctuating the air with Aphrodite kid screams. The new man quickly turned towards the Hermes table.

"WHAT?" the man scowled at their response.

"Who, just did that" the half siblings of cabin 11 exchanged looks, and edged away from the twins. They shrugged as if nothing.

"We thought it would be funny, honest..."

"FUNNY! You could have killed us all, and I don't even want to know how you got the explosives. Kitchen duty, Hermes Cabin, WEEK, NOW!" the children glared, but not at the twins, as they sulked off. The other cabins, other than the quivering Aphrodite cabin, muttered darkly as well. After that, dinner was, uneventful. But as the campers left, the man remained, looking sadly off towards the beach. Chiron clopped over to him (Clopped, hooves, give me a break, the closest I usually write about Centaurs are dragons).

"Tonto, you weren't wrong, you know" Chiron said to the man. He didn't respond.

"Look, the campers are really stressed. You have the whole Zeus business, and being a demigod is no easy cake. It was you who elected not to mention your from another world, so don't expect them to impress easily" Tonto sighed.

"I know, personally I was hoping not to overload their heads, gain their trust, before explaining the worlds to them. But, how, after that it seems only cabin Aphrodite is going to vouch for me" Chiron smiled.

"Tonto, the only way to get them to respect you, is to either do something cool, or look cool to them. Seeing as though...well you'd better just do something cool"

Later

Tonto was now out at night, working on his whole, be cool thing. Tonto just figured that getting attacked by some rouge monster and killing it would be enough, hence the sword in his hand. Tonto wasn't exactly an expert on weapons, back in his youth he used his Ultramatrix to fight for good, justice and the occasional liberation of deities. But now that said watch was gone, Tonto was a little down on his options. Maybe that's why the gods forced him into a teaching career?

But as he was passing around the original cabins, he heard a noise, like some sort of crash. And it was coming from Cabin 12, now in disrepair. Curious, Tonto approached it, to find the cause of the disrepair, a demigod. He had brown hair and dark brown eyes with a muscled body, and a large two handed celestial bronze sword, that was currently hacking the cabin.

"HEY!" Tonto yelled. The teenager froze, and turned towards Tonto.

"What?" Tonto sighed.

"Your vandalizing camp property" he said simply. The teen glared venomously at the cabin. Tonto had seen a gaze like that before, and he knew who, Ares, one of the gods who still had a place for his head on their fireplaces.

"This isn't property, its nothing but trash!" the boy grumbled "Its not like anyone lives in this heap" Tonto was surprised at this amount of anger. Sure, Tonto had his own reasons to dislike Dionysus. Ignoring the fact he was aligned with Zeus, well was while he was alive, Dionysus also independently tried to kill him 5 times before Zeus. He also knew few campers had anything good to say about Mr. D, but this was, different

"Your angry, but why? And what does slashing Cabin 12 do to fix the problem?" Tonto said reasonably. The boy glared.

"HE, RUINED MY LIFE!" he said in a furious whisper "HIS, STUPID LITTLE CONCOCTION WRECKED MY MOTHER, I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN YEARS, AND I DON'T EVEN CARE! THAT'S HOW BAD HE MESSED ME UP!" Tonto let him continue, he understood. His mother must have been an alcoholic, in fact he sort of knew what he went through, he had a uncle like that, Uncle Borracho, long dead to the Tonto's family curse involving dissapearing and leaving behind only a bloody shoe.

"I CAME HERE 3 YEARS AGO" he began speaking quickly, as if afraid his emotional train would be quickly derailed. Being a kid of Ares, that probably would happen a lot of he spoke to his siblings like this, ignoring getting laughed at over it, but now the volume had decreased somewhat. "I had to stomach, that disgusting, slob of a god, and now, he's gone somehow. But that doesn't mean what he's done is gone..." Tonto was now starting to get an idea, call it killing two birds with one stone

"Um, what's your name again, I didn't catch it" the demigod stopped his triad.

"I am Grant Colt"

"Okay, Grant would you mind coming with me to cabin 11, I do believe I have a way to solve both our problems" Grant eyed the man curiously, before his eyes lit up in surprise.

"You mean, you want to see if Jak and Eric..."

"Oh, that's those two's name, I was wondering how to ask that"

"...have any more dynamite!"

Later

After several arguments, two wild goose chases, one son of Ares tossing a Hermes twin into the hollow of a nymphs tree, the nymph who then gave poor Jak a black eye and kicked him where it hurt, several pounds of high grade, TNT was now piled near the Dionysus cabin. Where these kids managed to get the dynamite, Tonto did not want to know. Oddly enough, camp half blood seemed to be deeply interested and motivated into helping for the explosion, perhaps this is how you get to troubled kids; by blowing up the property of someone they really hate.

"Um, Mr. Tonto sir?" a Hephaestus camper had asked "Your plans appear to be aiming the explosion to the west, as if your aiming at the sun..."

"Oh no, I'm not aiming at the sun, I'm merely making it impossible to hit the moon in anyway". With that strange not, the large underground explosive cavern was ready that night, as watched by a large and chatty crowd of demigods.

"Okay campers, before we ceremoniously demolish cabin 12, does anyone...never mind I know none of you have anything nice to say about him, so..." Tonto lit a match, and then lit the fuse.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0!" the campers cheered as the dynamite burst, sending the immolated cabin flying towards the setting sun. But then, the wind suddenly shifted (AN, A plan gone Afowl mentioned that Zeus leaving Olympus has caused the skies to become volatile with pressure shifts and winds). The still burning cabin then found itself flying straight at the moon.

"Styx" Tonto grumbled, as the cabin hit the moon, causing the satellite of earth to explode! The campers were wide eyed. Tonto chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, well see, you know how heroes have fatal flaws? Well, my luck is my fatal flaw..." a blast of silver light hit Tonto, and after a sort of failed noise (Your choice, fart, error sound, ect), two antlers sprouted on Tonto's head. The campers looked confused. He laughed.

"She appears to have been in a good mood, or maybe she just picked up the fact that I did a lot to try to keep that from happening. That, or perhaps I'm just becoming immune to becoming a jackelope? Um, anyone have a carrot, or a antler saw?" the campers laughed after a second or two, perhaps Tonto was making progress with them after all.

A/N Felt good to get started on this. This was a sort of, practical first start chapter, introducing some key characters (The Twins Jak and Eric, the kids of Posiedon Theo and Mia, and Grant, as well as Tonto. Anyway OC's are still accepted, but again, don't expect them to go on a quest to save the universe. Leave that to much more competent heroes (And Tonto) Also if you guys are wondering why the new gods don't have greek names, or how Tyson is dead? Let me just say one thing, all shall be explained, and the more who review, the more likely I'll tell
