I don't own PJO.

Chapter 2: Annabeth POV

I am on Olympus with my boyfriend Shane for our 1000th meeting on where my ex-boyfriend could be, is he found, etc., etc. To tell you how I'm extremely worried about Percy is quite the opposite. Frankly, I don't give a damn if he's found or not. I mean, Shane is waayy more important and better to have at camp than him. Oh by the way, in case you're wondering how people is still alive after 1000 years and not turn to old cronies, the 14 Olympians (Hades and Hestia are now on the council) granted us immortality. Anyways, all the camp counselors (Thalia, Nico, Shane, Katie, Piper, Clarisse, Leo, me, Pollux, Stolls twins, Will Solace) and Olympians were in the throne room waiting for Hades, when an argument arose between Zeus and Poseidon. Zeus was yelling about how this yearly meeting was no use because even with the best gods out on the hunt nothing prevailed. (I secretly agree.) Poseidon, on the other hand, was predictably on the favor of continuing this search. As the argument built, some of the demigods started taking sides, until Hades flashed in.

"Lord Zeus, I know this is supposed to be a meeting on finding Perseus, but grave news has surfaced up. Gaia has risen once more and has most of the monsters, titans, and even demigods have sided with her. Kronos is just one of the many titans."

Chaos erupted. Demigods were protesting, shouting. The Olympians were trying to make use of this news, until a sudden portal opened up. This got everyone's attention and silence reigned.

No One's POV (Third Person)

Silence reigned as the portal opened up. Chaos and Ajax stepped out. Ajax was wearing a hood that concealed most of his face. The only part that was visible was his mouth, which was twisted up into a smirk.

Thunder boomed. "Who dares interrupt an Olympian meeting?" Zeus yelled.

"It doesn't seem like a meeting, more like a yell-fest. I could hear it even in my tunnel. Oh, and I'm surprised you gods still don't recognize your great, great-grandfather yet." smirked Chaos.

Athena was the first to understand. She rose and bowed deeply. "Lord Chaos, what honor brings you to visit?"

"That's Chaos…?"

"I don't…"

"It can't possibly…"

"No honor, my dear. Just a proposal. I heard that Gaia rose again. Therefore, I would like to give you my alliance for the upcoming war. Ajax here, is my top assassin. 2000 of my best warriors will be arriving at your camp in about 10 minutes. He is the second most powerful being, after me and can challenge all 14 Olympians, in the end still winning. If you insult him in anyway, he will leave this war and take home with him our forces. And I forgot. Did I mention that he has a huge grudge against you people? Tread carefully Olympians. Ta ta!"

After Chaos' little speech, he created another portal and winked out of the throne room.

Everyone stared at Ajax, wondering if he is really that powerful. Shane stood up.

"Top assassin, my ass. I'm the greatest hero. How come I didn't get picked to be an Assassin? I bet…"

Shane trailed off, for a hunting knife has been thrown, narrowly missing him, slamming into the piece of wall next to his ear. Ajax was in front of him, power rolling off him in waves.

"I advise you not to talk like that again. You want a reason to your question? Well it's because Chaos doesn't tolerate big fat ego filled idiots like you. Next time this happens, the knife will, for certain, find a new home in your head, got it?"

Shane nodded, a scowl on his red face. He had just gotten humiliated and that was not in his league. Annabeth ran to him.

"Hey Assassin, you can't do that to my boyfriend. He's…"

Before she could finish that sentence, another knife was thrown, pinning her shirt to the wall.

"The same goes to you too, Athena spawn. To you people, don't call me anything but sir or Ajax. Now I suggest you to get your asses off that chair and to your little pathetic excuse of a camp before it's too late. There's a full blown attack going on down there, BTW."

With that, Ajax teleported away with a smirk on his face, not that anyone could see his face. Everyone else stared at the spot where Ajax had vanished, the same question in everyone's head.

"Who is this guy?"
