MASTERMIND –

They had been sitting in the Common Room for about 8 minutes discussing the thought of new Alphas when Valkyrie put her hand up for silence.

"Okay Chaos just contacted me telepathically and they have chosen their names."

The Alphas waited eagerly to hear the new names.

"They are: Gladiator, Cyclone, Reaper and Mockingjay"

Mastermind watched curiously as Guardian's face lit up and a smile break through Aqua's. But what really surprised him was Hunt's reaction. He just grinned like a maniac and looked hugely relieved. He didn't know Hunt very well, Hunt always appeared quite anxious and worried as if…as if he was waiting for someone who hadn't arrived yet.

Mastermind realised that he must know at least one of these people and that person must mean a lot to him.

Everyone else's faces stayed blank as they didn't recognise any of the names.

Valkyrie put up her hand again as she frowned, listening to Chaos' voice inside her head.

"He's gonna come and talk to us quickly before he brings them in."

Everyone nodded and waited for him to arrive. Valkyrie was sort of the unofficial leader as she was one of the oldest, closest to Chaos, had awesome control over her powers and had been blessed by Chaos himself so she also had the power of creation. Thus making her one of the most powerful beings in the universe.

They watched as they saw a familiar portal appear and Chaos step out of it.

He smiled round at them and shrunk down so that he was the same sort of size as them.

"It is good to see you all here, with the exception of Ninja and Wraith who are on a field mission in Beetlejuice, of course"

Mastermind snorted "'Cause that's totally what they're doing."

He knew what their relationship was like. They were out on a 'field mission' probably doing the opposite of what they were supposed to be doing.

"Don't make fun of their relationship" said Genius mock-sternly to him.

"Speaking of which…" smirked Four.

"Three new boys, huh?" he said wiggling his eyebrows at Valkyrie "Finally gonna get laid?"

"Fuck off" scowled Valkyrie

"Now, now children, stop arguing, the adults have important work to do" Chaos teased and then continued.

"Okay, now you need to hear this before you meet them. The girl, Mockingjay, is known by a few of you…"

He looked at Guardian, Aqua and Hunt, who beamed.

"But the other three boys are not known personally by anyone."

Raven frowned "Personally?"

"They are legendary in the Void. You have probably dismissed their stories as myths or heard their tales whispered round campfires. This is why I will tell Gladiator, Cyclone and Reaper that they shouldn't feel obliged to show their appearance or tell you their old name."

The Alphas stared at Chaos in shock. Legendary? They were having living legends join the Legion? Well that at least explained why they were all in the Alphas.

Mastermind racked his brains. He could not think of any people that featured in tales that were likely to join the Legion. Apart from the modern myths of the first 8 planets. It was very rare for Chaos to send missions to the first 8 planets because they all had their own immortal deities that were supposed to fix problems. So new recruits from those planets gave hazy details but most tales were unlikely to be true.

"So, without further ado…" Chaos clapped his hands.

A boy in a golden armour and a cloak that had an electric blue hood which faded to white at the bottom of the cape, appeared next to Chaos. He stood tall and rigid, with an air of authority that came with someone used to leadership. Definitely one for the Elites.

Another boy materialised next to him, this one had gold tinted green armour that hugged his body. He was tall and less stocky than the other boy, but no less muscular. His cloak was fascinating; it appeared translucent and made out of water yet it seemed solid but moved like silk. It cast a slightly blue shadow over his face.

A spark of fire appeared next to the boy in the water-cape, it quickly spiralled upwards getting larger and larger until it slowly died out leaving a girl in it's place. Her cloak appeared to be made out of fire, but like the boy's cape, it moved like silk, and obviously wasn't harming her.

Valkyrie looked in interest at the girl. Fire teleportation was very difficult to learn and even Valkyrie hadn't mastered it yet. It was also very dangerous; the girl must have a huge amount of courage to even attempt it.

She wore black tight trousers, worn, brown, leather boots and jacket. Her hair was braided down her left shoulder and reached her mid-stomach.

The room suddenly darkened and all the shadows were drawn towards a spot next to the girl. They twisted up to form a figure completely black covered boy. He had a very dangerous aura around him, all of them had the "You don't mess with me" appearance, but this boy in black had a very threatening edge.

'Yup, that's Reaper.' thought Mastermind slightly wary.

Chaos turned to face them. "Your pasts are famous in the Void, Cyclone, Gladiator and Reaper, so it is up to you if you even want to show your appearance."

The three boys stiffened visibly when Chaos told them that they were 'famous'. They looked at each other deciding what to do.

The boy in the water-cape that Chaos had addressed as Cyclone spoke.

"And what about Mockingjay?"

His voice was smooth, calm and carried that sense of authority that the other boy, Gladiator, showed.

"Mockingjay's planet is not as famous as her so not many people will know her story just from hearing her previous name."

Cyclone nodded slowly.

"You said that in this Legion, you leave your old life behind. You start afresh and your past has no impact on you from here on in. I have no problem revealing the life I left behind as long as no one bothers me about it."

Reaper silently nodded in agreement.

Gladiator sighed " If you guys are revealing your pasts then I may as well. Wouldn't want to be the odd one out"

Chaos smiled and gave the gesture with his hand for 'go ahead'.

Mockingjay looked at the others, who nodded at her. She pulled back her fire-that-was-not-on-fire-hood to show a pretty girl with long, brown plaited hair and piercing grey eyes. She grinned at them as she spoke.

"I am Mockingjay, formerly known as Katniss Everdeen."

The surname sounded familiar to Mastermind, maybe it was Hunt's surname and that's why she was so impor- nope. Mastermind stopped his trail of thought as he noticed the way they looked at each other. That was not how siblings looked at each other. She must be Guardian's or Aqua's sibling.

Cyclone then stepped forwards and pulled back his hood. Underneath was a very good-looking tanned face with messy but styled jet-black hair. His eyes were the colour of the ocean and they scanned the room studying everyone.

"I am Cyclone, formerly known as Percy Jackson."

Gasps went round the room as they stared at Cyclone. Percy Jackson's tales were indeed the stuff of legend. Mastermind joined Chaos' Legion about seven hundred thousand years ago and he had been amazed by the supposed fictional 'Percy Jackson's bravery and skill. He had often heard stories about him used by instructors to encourage people into doing courage-required things.

Gladiator stepped forward and pulled back his hood. He revealed a pale face with short-cropped blonde hair. His electric blue eyes seemed to cut through the air as he studied their reactions. He was also extremely attractive and had a stoic expression face.

"I am Gladiator, formerly known as Jason Grace"

Eyes widened even further at that. Jason Grace had almost as big a reputation in The Void as Percy Jackson.

Reaper stood forward this time and pulled back his hood. His very dark brown eyes darted round the room and his lips curled into a very frightening smirk. He had long, black curly hair that framed his very striking olive tone coloured face. He had high cheekbones and large eyes that would have made him look cute if he wasn't so intimidating.

"I am Reaper, formerly known as Nico Di Angelo"

Mastermind just stared speechless as he saw his three of his favourite heroes that he thought were imaginary step out in front of him.
