CHAPTER 1: Trip Draton
Omega's POV
Yo boss. Another successful mission in your overflowing line of successfull missions, I take it? I bet that you have had more successful missions than the whole army put together. So, what do you want to do now? And do you have any hard discs for me? Surprisingly, they tastse good, but not as good as them DOUGHNUTS!
That is the voice of the A.I on my ship, The Tidal Wave. The ship itself was pretty impressive, if I do say so myself. I didn't want it to be too over the top but not plain either.
The outside was a shade of light blue with gold highlights here and there that give ship the effect that makes it look like its in constant motion. The Tidal Wave was pretty small if you compare it to the other ships on Chaos' fleet but it could hold its own weight in battle.
The inside of the ship, like my tent is enchanted to be bigger than how it looks on the outside. It had two bedrooms, a mission room, a weapons room, a training room, the captain's quarters, and kitchen and dining area. The walls were painted with a shade of blue that is slightly darker than the outside. But overall it had a nice homey feel to it.
I designed it myself. A seaweed brain like me is bound to pick up a few thing on architecture if you dated a wisegi-, I'm getting off the topic. Stupid ADHD. Chaos didn't take it out because it sharpened my reflexes. He did take away my dyslexia, however. But I can still read greek easily. Over the past millenia, when I had free time, I would study greek and just about every other language there is in the known universes
"Hey B.J. Its a successful mission if it wasn't, then I'd probably be dead. The bounty on my head can buy 2 planet jupiters worth. Add Henry's family to the list of families I need to visit, set the visit probably 5 years from now, considering I'm still alive by then. And I don't have any hard discs nor do I have any micro chips, cds, dvds, sugar cubes or doughnuts. And stop calling me boss." I answered my hungry A.I.
The list that I was talking about was the list of the families of the evil men and women that I killed and friends that I've made from all over the universes during my missions. I would drop by once in awhile to check on them to see if they needed any help. I would pose as Biothia, Alfa's messenger, and see how they were doing.
Awwww. But why? And isn't that list of people of yours overflowing even more so than the list of successful missions? And do you ever plan on adding them to your list of people to check on?
"If your talking about the samethem that I'm thinking about then maybe never." I said a tone of finality evident in my voice. But my A.I knew better. Thats what happens when you use the same A.I for the past millenia.
Oh I know you boss. I know that you secretly go and visit them and help them on their quests if your free. Besides what happened between you and them that makes you resent them so much? It can't be that bad, right?
"Wrong. If you experienced what they did to me then you'd know the pain. But my fatal flaw being loyalty and everything, I have gradually forgiven them, much to my dislike. That's why I check on them from time to time. I don't let them know its me because they might try to punish me and take me by force. I don't want to hurt them. But that doesn't mean I won't, if the situation demands it." I said. I myself was curious on how they would react to seeing me again. But I was more interested to see how I would react to their reactions.
Yeah. Anyway, are you going to vapour travel back to Planet Chaos, just like when you left Henry or what?
Vapour travelling is a neat skill that I've working on since after the giant war. I perfected it shortly after I joined the army. Basically, I would turn myself in the moisture that can be found in the air and move through the air a hundred times faster than lightspeed. This dicovery lead to the discovery of alot of other things I could do with my powers.
"I think I'll hit the sack for now. And take your time on getting us back, I want to catch some z's before meeting up with Chaos.
If you say so boss. We will be arriving in 10 hours time. Thank you for travelling with Air B.J. Please keep your hands and feet within the vehicle at all times. And prepare yourself for the ride of your immortal life.
I chuckled. B.J always knows how to cheer me up when I'm down. I went inside the captain's quarters and headed for my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I immediatly fell asleep and was whisked away to dreamland.
^DREAM^ (3rd Person's POV)
Camp Half-blood 1000 years ago.
In the forests near Halfblood hill, a struggle was taking place. A boy with sandy blonde hair, shockingly blue eyes and a well tonned body was running for his life. If the campers listened, they could hear his footsteps pounding on the forest floor, desperatly dodging the greenery in his way. Behind him, the sound of a bull running just as fast after its prey.
If you looked closely at the boy, you could see that he had bruises all over his body and a small scar was present on his right cheek. Suddenly, the boy fell forward, tripping on a rock that he didn't see. He uttered some colorful words and cursed himself for not seeing it.
He looked back to see where the bull was. Grave mistake. The distance between them was decreasing, fast. He hastily got up and kept running. Just a few more feet, then he'd be safe. He could feel it in his gut.
After what felt like forever, he crossed the camp bounderies, panting, sweaty and bloody but thankfully still in on piece. By now the campers had noticed him. They stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the new comer who had just crossed the camp borders.
A girl with a sword by her side and was dressed in full armour walked up to the boy and said, "Hey, I'm Katie Gardener. Whats yo-." Her introduction was cut short by the roar of the bull that miraculously crossed the barrier that seperated the camp from the out side world.
The boy spun around faster than humanly possible, staring wide-eyed at the charging animal. Acting on pure instinct, he grabbed the girl known as Katie's sword and plunged it deep into the minataur's gut. The beast gave a painful cry of rage and pain then disintegrated into golden dust.
He turned back to Katie and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't properly introduce myself. My name is Trip, Trip Draton. Hey Katie, nice to meet you." He said nonchalantly as if a monster, such as a minataur, crossing the camp's magical borders and a newbie defeating the said monster with a single stab of the sword without any training what so ever and coming out alive witout that much damage was something that happened everyday.
He held out his hand to shake her hand but after awile of being left hanging, he scratched the back of his hair with the same hand nervously and said, "Well, this is awkward." He left the sentence to hang in the air.
The other campers' jaws hung open, it wouldn't be surprising if he first to break the uncomfortable silence was the sound of hooves clipclopping on the ground. A half horse half human, made its way to where the two were speaking. "Greetings young warrior I am Chiron, a cenataur, the immor-" It was all he could say before all the campers gasped and all of them began talking among themselves pointing at Trip. Thunder filled the air and everone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Trip.
"What... What did I do? Hey Katie was it something I said? Did I do something wrong? Am I gonna die?" Trip stammered. Recovering from his earlier shock, Chiron continued walking towards Trip. "No. You are not gonna die. Look up son." Trip although confused, did what he was told. Above his head was a shimmering blue lightning bolt that looked like it was full of power.
"Hail Trip Draton, son of Lord Zues, God of Lightning and the skies, King of the gods." After announcing Trip's lineage, he bowed. And the rest of the camp follwed his example.
The campers rose. The first to recover from shock was a girl with blond curly hair with a grey streak that was tyed to a ponytail. She was wearing shorts and an orange tshirt with faded words. Around her neck were was a necklace that held around a dozen beads all different from each other, and she was holding something that looked like a laptop. But her most striking feature, were her eyes. They were stormy grey, that were intense and calculating.
^End of Dream^
Omega's POV
Annabeth. Was the first thought that popped into my mind. I missed her. Even after what she did to me, I still love her.
I slowly got up from my bed. I checked the clock that was on my bedside table. I had slept for a total of nine and a half hours. We'd soon reach planet Chaos. And within my nine and a half hours of sleep, I had a very strange dream. I knew the place all too well.
Yo boss, we're about to get there. Landing in 10 minutes. B.J's voice rang through the ship's intercom system.
"Alright. Thanks B.J. I promise to get you those hard disks as soon as possible." I told the A.I. I looked out the window and saw one of the most beautiful planets in all the universes.
Planet Chaos. From outer space. It looked like millions of stars dancing and twinkling around a certain space. In fact, if you don't look hard enough, then you'd probably miss it entirely. But thats what made it so beautiful. It was mysterious and radiated a powerful aura.
"Hey B.J, mind parking the ship I wanna vapour travel down there and go for a little walk." I said after tearing my eyes from the beauty known as Planet Chaos.
No prob boss. Leave it to me.
I thanked him and was about to vapour travel away when I remembered, "And B.J, STOP CALLING ME BOSS!" And I vanished from the ship and reappered on Planet Chaos' beautiful streets.
Planet Chaos. Home to one of the most powerful armies in all of the universes. It was also refuge to those who are forgotten and betrayed by their old families. It was a chance for a new life, a clean slate. Chaoas would recruit people from every corner of all the universes to join the army.
The army's size was very tiny. But size didn't matter. Before a warrior is recruited, he or she would be tested to see if they had the makings of a chaotic warrior. The recruit would either be very powerful when they startout and their skill would gradually increase as they trained with the army. Or they could be someone who shows alot of unrealised potential and would get better with experience and the help of the army.
The soldier's immediate family is also given the choice to live in Chaos City. The army itself was only made up of a total of 250 people. They were divided into 4 sections, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. Within the divisions, they are further divided into 5 groups, offence, defence, medic, range, and special abilities. But each division had a specialty. Alpha specializes in special abilities; Beta in medics and defence; Gamma in range and Delta in offence. Each division had three leaders each.
I also had my own personal division which was not part of the army. But currently, it only had 3 people. Me and my two best friends. Speaking of them, I noticed that they were walking towards me hand in hand.
The boy was a few inches shorter than me with onyx eyes that were calculating and analysing. He had short, dirty blonde hair that was sort of spiked up, he was wearing a purple polo shirt and knee length walking shorts and had a well built body.
The girl a few inches shorter than the boy had kind light blue eyes and wavy blonde hair that was running freely down her shoulders. She was wearing a yellow tank top, a purple jacket and tight skinny jeans that brought out her figure nicely. Not that I was checking her out or anything.
Anyway the boy's name was Chase Phoenix and his girlfriend's was Skylar Holt. They were my two bestfriends and I would gladly entrust them with my life. And they were the only ones who knew about my real identity aside from Chaos.
I walked toward them while random passerbys bowed to me. I was sort of a big celebrity here. I smiled at them. I hate it when they bow at me. Even thought I tell them to stop, they just keep on doing it. So after a few centuries of living here, I got tired of reminding them and slowly got used to it.
"How was your mission?" Chase asked. I smiled. Aside from being my bestfriend, he was also my apprentice, and sidekick. If Batman had Robin then I had Chase.
"It was alright, I guess. No major complications or anything. I even met this cute girl..." "So you like her? Did you ask her out? Are you going steady?" Skylar butted in and bombarded me with question. She has been playing match maker for me for the past few centuries, since she found out about Annabeth.
"Yes, I like her. Yes we went out." I held out my hand to stop her from blurting out anything else before I could finish. "I took her to the black market, 'cuz her mom asked me to." she gave me a puzzled look but let me continue. "Her name is Sophia. She's the daughter of the guy I killed. But she is sweet, loving and kind. Oh and did I mention that she was 10?" I continued.
The big smile she sported turned to confused frown then an angry snarl, but she recovered quickly, realizing that I had tricked. I laughed at this. "Y- you should...have seen...your face. It was...priceless." I managed to say in between laughs. Apparently this was the wrong thing to do.
"OMEGA! How dare you make a fool of me?!" She bursted. "W- what did...I do?" I innocently said while still laughing. "Prepare to feel my wrath." She bellowed. I sobered, and gulped. Even if I am the second most power person all the universes, I didn't stand a chance with an angry Skylar.
"Come on Sky. You know I was joking, right? Chase help me out with your girlfriend here." I turned to Chase for support. He took a step back and held out his hands in surrender. "No way, man. I still have nightmares about the last time I helped settle an argument between you two." He said. What a great guy. But I couldn't really blame him. It was a bad experience for both of us.
I turned back to Skylar who now had her favourite weapon out. Her katana, Silencer. But before she could strike, all three of us were sucked into a black portal.
That is the end of the first Chapter. Love it? Hate it? Let me know.
See if you can guess the following:
- who is B.J
- who is the mysterious Trip Draton
- how was the minataur able to pass through the camp's magical barriers
- who created the portal that sucked in our hero.
I also want to know if you want to know more about the stuff that Percy did as an assasin or do you want me to stick with the current story line. And if you want me to reveal Percy's life after the wars and what led him to join Chaos, bit by bit while carrying on with the story or all in one take. I tried to give you a taste of both.
If you have any ideas that can be added in, pls let me know through pm or reviewing. And for those who want to know, I have every intention to finish the story. And the next chapter will be out faster the more reviews I get. But I'll try to have it out before the week ends
