Lots of diagrams but I thought: 'Hey, I have the software to do it, so why not?' ENJOY CHAPTER FOUR!
Chapter 4: Mercury's Revenge
In pressure, I actually had a good poker face. Well, pokmer face as in I don't freak out when an evil god is about to kill me. Yeah. Me, Sam, and Chance were lined up on the front row. I gripped my coin and stared daggers at the aproaching army. "Ready? I thought I was but this is worse than anything I've ever seen..." said Sam, pure fear in her voice.
"When's the last time you read Number the Stars? But I have the weighing feeling that I won't live to see my fourteenth birthday tommrow!" I joked. We had one hundred yards left. A blonde ruthless man led the invasion. He was looking for blood and wasn't going to show mercy. But which Roman Dii was he?
"MY ARMY, NO MERCY!" roared the Dii, holding his staff forward. Two snakes coiled around it. He was Mercury. Or Hermes. Or whoever. But I'm pretty sure it was Mercury...
"Do we stand a chance?" Sam asked, holding her katana paraell to her face.
"On a scale from one to ten...negative forty-five" I said, tossing my coin high over my head. Just to show off-to make the enemy shiver-I did a back-flip and grapped the daggers mid-flight.
"Well, we should die trying than die running" said Sam, holding the katana high over our head. She looked back to our formation. It looked kind of like this:
. . .
ΞΞΞ
Οkay, maybe we WEREN'T made of protection like Mercury's Ω, but we could move faster without breaking postions. The only bad thing is, that their Ω is lined with archers so we can't break their barrer too easly.
"FIRE!" roared Chiron from the Tower we built after we lost the war. Why were we wasting our time fighting each other? Who knew?
The Apollo kids from the towers arched their bows high and let loose three arrows per child (That's forty-eight arrows). Two archers from Mercury's army fell dead, fifteen wounded and three still marching fine (That were hit) None of the lines-man were hit.
"REARRANGE!" I roared, knowing this formation isn't working. Another good thing about our formation: We can move around easily. Now we looked like this:
. . .

Now we point forward and attack like an arrow! Haha, good plan right? Yeah, I knew you'd agree!
Our armies collided and our . . . collided head-on with their Ω. Ι looked sort of like this:

Well, eaxcept that they were more into each other... Well, more into the battle.
Mercury glew gold and we all looked away. Soon it faded and his snake-staff got sharper. He was ready for war. He was rady to kill. "MERCURY'S REVENGE, MARCH FORWARD!" roared Mercury. That started the beggining of the end.
"I can't belive it's working! We realease the gods so they can have more demigods, Roman and Greek, and they'd have a huge war! The plan is falling into place and I did it all by myself!" said the Hunter, swinging his legs on the ginormus swirly chair sized for a Titan.
"Are you ready to keep the fight going?" questioned Kronos, hoping this war wasn't over.
"To Hades and back" replied the Hunter, nodding.
"More like to Pluto and back" said Kronos smirking. He turned to see a eighteen year-old boy chained to a wall. "Kir, press your button. I need to see my map to the Underworld!"
The boy pressed a button by his hand and the wall he was on flipped, reavling a full size map of the Underworld.
"Now, what was your plan again?"
Let's just say in five seconds, I got more blood on me than our last civil battle on the Grand Canyon. I still don't get why we are fighting each other. I mean, we have the same parents! What's the diffrence between the Greek Aramda and the Roman Legion? I mean really!
But we had to get them out of our home. These Roman brats couldn't take MY home for the last drop of blood in my body! The cuts steamed but I had to march forward. Both our formations were destroyed. I knew what had to happen.
"FALL BACK!" I said, flagging my troops to the Tower. Wow, went from being an outcast Demititan to the leader of the Demigods in three months. Just wow.
The Romans marched through the Ω arrangment of the cabins, burning each to the ground. We all bit my lip as our belonging burned to a crisp. What a stupid leader I am! We were fighting so that WOULDN'T happen!
"FORWARD AT FULL SPEED!" I roared, flagging forward. I looked down my row. Sam and Chance nodded and we charged them with no mercy.
Only then, did a slimy hand grab my ankle.
MWHAHAHA with my insane cliffies!
Sam: I wanna know who this 'Hunter' is!
Me: Fine, since your my friggin' twin, I'll tell you IF you get on your knees in beg and plead and give me a sneak peak of every chapter of every story you ever write! (And yes Sam, if you REALLY want to know...)
Also, on my profile I have a poll. Don't vote on it till another two or so chapters cause it mentions a charector that will be introduced then.
Write on,
Derek
