Chaos' Six

A/N: Hey people. I know I'm a little late on the update, but I'll get you guys another chapter within the next six days. Finally, since I'm a new author please share this story with friends and family! :)

I don't even know why I do a disclaimer because you already know that Rick wrote the original series. XD

Chapter 4

"So, how is your dad? I always just assumed that he was like all the other primordials."

"If you think that all the primordials are evil, and want to destroy all the Olympians then you've got another thing coming! I swear I'll ditch you if you don't get your facts straight!" he shouted.

"I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to come off like that." I said.

"Sorry for going off like that. It's just that nobody trusts me and I am always an outcast among demigods because of their misconceptions about primordials. It's kind of like a midlife crisis that comes around every few centuries for some of them."

"I wouldn't think that you'd meet many demigods up in Canada."

"Oh, I travel quite a bit. The worst time was when I met most of the roman legion. Nobody really accepted me except for that one daughter of Pluto, Hazel I think. But even that was short lived because her boyfriend didn't like me. Also the son of Jupiter was visiting with Piper and they didn't like me either. Then there was an attack and they drove me out blaming me for the attack."

"I didn't know that happened to you, I'm sorry" I said solemnly, soaking it all in.

"Yeah. I almost did attack so many times because of the remains of the army that attacked."

"So we both had a bad past with one of the camps. I-"

That was as far as I got before the whole vehicle exploded.

That's what it felt like at least. I hadn't been paying attention to the road because we were in a rural area. I looked up and blood dripped into my eyes. I wasn't sure if it was mine or Kenneth's. I squinted through the blood and saw that we had flipped upside down. I had totaled the whole front of the SUV and the windshield was mostly gone. I looked over and saw Kenneth unconscious with a head wound. That's when I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked over to see a hydra sniffing around. It makes sense now, the hydra probably knocked us off the road. I slowly disentangled myself from my seatbelt so I could protect the both of us because Kenneth was still out cold.

The hydra heard me and all nine heads snapped in my direction at once. You guys don't know how scary that is, I almost pissed myself! I pulled myself out of the shattered window and drew my sword. The hydra hissed at the sight of it and reared its heads. It spat acid at me and I rolled out of the way. I quickly realised that I didn't have any way to beat it, and I was pretty much just running away from it. One of its heads snapped at me and out of reflex I swung my sword. It came off cleanly and I had temporary relief before the two heads grew back in its place.

Maybe Kenneth had something to defeat it. I made my way over to him, and noticed him stirring. I tried to wake him up, but he was still in Lalaland. I had to move away so that the hydra stayed focused on me and didn't notice Kenneth. I scampered away from the spray of acid that the hydra sent at me. I stabbed at its belly, but it moved back. It lunged at me but it was heavy so I dodged it heads. I moved back drawing it away from the car when it screamed out in agony.

"Sorry I'm late." said Kenneth with a grin.

"About time you woke up, sleeping beauty." I muttered humorously.

He called upon some undead warriors to keep the hydra busy, then he ran over to the car. He was rummaging around in his bag when he came out holding a box of matches and...?

"Batteries?" I asked confused.

"They're lined with bronze." he replied as if that explained it all.

"OK, but how are batteries supposed to help us?" I said as the hydra incinerated the last of the undead.

"I'll explain later just get the hydra to open its mouths."

I did my best to do just that and when I did he chucked a handful of batteries down it's gullet.

"Get down!" he shouted.

There was an explosion with shrapnel flying everywhere, and when I got back up the only thing remaining of the hydra was one head.

"What happened?!" I asked, confused.

"Oh the batteries?" he replied. "Once you use batteries it produces hydrogen inside of it. Hydrogen is flammable so once I set it on fire with a match I created a homemade grenade, it exploded sending shrapnel everywhere." He said happily.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's chemistry, don't worry about it."

"Oh wait, we don't have a car, great. Maybe Chaos will give us a replacement or something"

I quickly prayed to Chaos hoping for a new car or something, but all that I got was a piece of paper saying to rescue the person from the underworld first.

"Great now we need to walk all the way to the door of Orpheus. That's like 3 miles from here, and it's getting dark." I said.

"Okay then. How is your stamina? We'll run there in about twenty minutes, 'kay?" he resolved.

We started running and it was surprising that no monsters attacked us considering that we were two really powerful demigods. When I asked Kenneth about this, he said that it was because combined we probably had the aura of a powerful god or goddess. We kept going and arrived at the door of Orpheus.

"Can you sing or something?" I asked him.

"I can play the trumpet. Would Chaos provide one of those?" he said.

"I don't know ask her for one see if she'll give it to you. Technically, it is something needed for the mission."

Suddenly a trumpet case appeared on the ground beside him. He suggested that we get some sleep, so we headed over to Rachel's penthouse to see if she would let us sleep over for the night. I knocked on the door, and it opened up to the bleary face of Rachel.

"Percy! What do you need, it's like midnight?!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Could we get a place to stay? We need to go to the underworld tomorrow." I replied.

"Who's the other guy?"

"Oh, I'm Kenneth. I'm a guy Percy's recruiting." Chimed in Kenneth.

"Okay, you guys can stay over for tonight. Just find one of the bedrooms on the right of the hall."

I went and opened the first door on the left and it had some paintings in it, so I closed the door and moved on. When I found a bedroom, I got into bed thinking about how on earth we were supposed to steal someone from the underworld.

Thanks for reading the chapter, and please leave a review!
