Here you go, the fourth chapter. As I've said before please leave a comment or review.
I have a question, Who here has watched The Tomorrow People or Almost Human? I just started watching both of them last night and am on episode five for both of them.
Okay, onto the story. Disclaimer, I am too young and female to be able to be the author of the Percy Jackson series.
World's Edge
Third PoV
Anthony and Bia arrived not much longer after Shadows and Julian's kiss. "Hey Fireworks." Anthony called in greeting.
"Hey Powder Puff." Julian replied. The Void born had the worst codenames. Chaos gave everyone their codenames and he based the Void born code names off their first mission. Anthony caught his first target by dumping a crate of flour on them, hence Powder Puff. Julian caught his first target in a normal way but when he was in a fight with the dude he accidentally set off a fireworks display. Both incidents happened in the second planet, which didn't have a name besides the Second Planet, was the planet closest to the Earth lifestyle.
"Stop it." Bia, or Bianca di Angelo, ordered. Anthony and Julian were best of friends since Alpha and Omega got along with Charmer and Sparky, but they could make fun of each other for hours. Shadow liked watching them argue because they give him ideas for what to call them later, so it was up to Bia to stop them.
They spent the next few minutes teasing each other and eating the food Bia had brought with her for the picnic. Everything was going perfectly until the sky darkened and thunder was heard in the background. The ground shook and the wind picked up.
"My parents are pissed!" Julian yelled. "I knew something was going to happen."
"My dad's pissed as well." Anthony said. "So is my mom I think." People related by blood could feel when someone was pissed or hurt.
"I wonder what's happening if they're all pissed off at the same time?" Shadow wondered aloud.
"We should go to Julian's house, since it's closest and wait for Lady Alpha and Lord Omega to come back. That way we can directly find out what's happening." Bia said
"Who's to say they're together?" Anthony asked
"They are both pissed at the same time so it's probably about the same thing, meaning that they would have had to be together to be told." Bia pointed out. "Now lets go."
Back to the War Room
Chaos' PoV
"You're going to earth." I said dreading the reaction. A lot of Earthlings were apart of the group leaders and my warriors. Not only that but not one person from a different planet that has been to Earth, likes it. They think that humans are weak creatures and the gods are terrible leaders. No one has a lot of love for the first planet.
"What the Hades!" A few Earthlings yelled outraged. It's funny that even though they hate the gods they still use their names as a curse.
"Why can't they help themselves?" Maëi, from the ninth planet, Thritas (Th-rat-us), asked. Thritas was a world submerged underwater and barely had any wars or acts of violence. The Thritas people looked part mermaid. They had scales covering their arms, legs, and chest. The rest was grey rock hard skin. They had pointed chins and ears, fins on their arms and behind their ears and had amazing voices. The main colours their hair could be were, blue, green, pink, red and purple.
"Yeah. They've managed without us for a long time. What's so different now?" Selia, a selkie like creature from the second planet, agreed. The second planet didn't have a name and was just referred to as the second planet. The people that lived there had flat, snake like noses, the white of their eyes were navy blue, the iris of the cat like eye green with a black pupil. They could pass as human the easiest, with the help of some makeup.
"Not true." Malas, from Urracitat (Your-rack-a-tat) the fourth planet, spoke up. The fourth planet was full of dragon human hybrids. They lived on a sunless planet so they were extremely pale and usually had white or black hair and wore all black, white and grey. "Alpha and Omega supervised Huntress when she stopped Atlas from escaping 4,567 years ago." Every one of my warriors looked at their two leaders only to find them looking quite pissed. Their cloaks were no longer white but a light grey, a sure sign of their anger.
I looked around at the other Earthlings, along with the other warriors and found a look of anger on each of their faces. I have to admit I was scared to have that many warriors pissed at me at the same time. I pick each one of them because I knew how strong they could be and I have to say if they all worked together they could probably take me down.
"What's going on?" Omega said thru his teeth his voice lacking any emotion. That saddened me. All the warriors were like children to me but I have to say that Alpha and Omega were my favourite.
"Gaea and Kronos are working together to try and overthrow the gods." I replied
"What side are we fighting on?" Alpha asked. My warriors fought on the side that I thought would rule better so one war they could be on the gods side and in another war the could be on the gods enemies side.
"The gods." I said. I heard a slight sigh of relief. The warriors may not like the gods but they realised that they ruled better than the titans or the giants would.
"Why can't they fight by themselves?" Sparky asked. "They're done it before and won." There was a lot of bitterness in his voice. This was going to end well.
"The Titans and the Giants have never work together before and when they tried to rise before, some of the greatest heroes were alive. Now all the possible leaders are arrogant children of the big three that are full of themselves." I answered trying to make the Earthling see reason. If I could convince them then the others would follow.
"Why should we help the gods after everything they've done to us?" Bandit, another Earthling, asked.
"How about we look at it from this angle. We're not going there to save the gods, but to save all the innocent mortals and demigods that would die if Gaea or Kronos took over." I hated playing the innocent card but there was nothing else that I could say that would make them agree. All my warriors were pure of heart, even if some had made mistakes in the past, and they couldn't allow innocent people die if they could help it.
"She's not going to let us say no." Charmer said. "Might as well say yes now before we piss him off. Plus the sooner we agree the sooner we can pack, get there, save their worthless asses, and come back home."
I really love Charmer sometimes. She saw reason. "Who's all going?" Maëi asked.
"The top half of every group." I said stealing a glance at Alpha and Omega. They still looked pissed and grey and what I was about to say wasn't going to make them any happier. Charmer wasn't going to be happy either. "I have also made some adjustments to the groups. Anthony is being promoted in the weapons and the stealth group, so he will be going and Julian will be promoted in the healing group, stealth group, the sword group, and the strategy group."
The room instantly darkened. I saw anger cross Charmers and Sparky's faces but their son would already being going for the stealth division so they weren't too angry, Alpha and Omega on the other hand were a different story. Almost instantly their cloaks went from a light/medium grey to a dark/medium grey. The room dropped ten degrees and darkened. Julian was just under the top fifty in every group he was in. There was only one time he went on a war mission but he didn't battle, he was just on medical team.
"What?" Omega's voice was dangerously low. Alpha and Omega looked like they were having trouble not going Void.
"You heard what I said. We'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning." I quickly flashed out of the room before anyone could argue or before Alpha or Omega tried to kill me.
Julian's PoV
At his house
I knew my parents were on their way home because the streets became silent. No one smart would dare get in my parents way when they were angry. I waited with Shadow, Anthony and Bia for them to walk in the door. A minute later the front door flew open, almost flying off its hinges.
"Out." My dad said before he even saw the others. His and my mom's cloaks were both medium grey.
"What's wrong?" I asked as my friends just stood there.
"Anthony go talk to your parents. I'm sure they'll want to see you. Bia, go with him." My mom ordered. Bia and Anthony quickly made their way to the door happy to escape. A part of me wished I could go with them. I love my parents and I knew they'd never hurt me but they can be really scary when they're pissed off.
"What's wrong?" I asked again as Shadow grabbed my hand. I was the only one besides Chaos who dares to speak to them when they were like this and Shadow knew I needed all the support I could get.
"We're going to Earth." My dad hissed.
"What?!" Shadow yelled. "Who?"
"The top fifty of every unit." My mom said. That meant Shadow, Anthony and Bia. I was going to be left out again. My parents may not know I know but I know that they did everything in their power to keep me from reaching the top fifty.
"Why?" Shadow asked.
"Kronus and Gaea are working together to rise and we have to go help the gods and make sure the titans and giants lose." My dad replied.
"But that's not why you're angry." It was more of a statement on my part then a question. I've been alive for almost 6,000 years. I knew what it took to get my parents this angry.
"No." My mom agreed. "You and Anthony have both been promoted in all the groups you're in. You'll be coming with us."
"When?" Shadow asked.
"First thing tomorrow." My mom said. I had the feeling that the next little bit of my life was going to be interesting.
There you go. Hope you enjoyed. Next chapter will have Thalia in it. Until next time. Thanks :)
