The Battle
Mark POV (Son Of Hades)
James, one of the well-built Troopers with white hair and golden eyes, shouted, " Are you readyyyyy?" and the rest of us roared our approval. As if on cue, all of us pressed a button on our watches that activated our armour. All the campers were shocked by this; even Hephaestus can't make such armour. See, when you become a trooper, Chaos gives you immortality, extra battlefield bonuses and a golden disc that was strapped to our back which transformed into armour whenever we wanted it to. Also, the armour was totally impenetrable.
We charged at the monsters; some of our more "experienced" campers were leading. If you saw them charging at you in battle, it was a sight you could never forget. I saw that all the monsters had flickers of fear in their eyes, but they overcame their shock and charged at us. This is going to be easy, I thought, Gaia really is stupid for underestimating. When it comes to battle, one trooper was worth ten campers.
Our front line of "experienced" troopers clashed with monsters and enemy demigods. The atmosphere was soon filled with clangs of steel and cries of agony from the enemy side. Monsters were disappearing into golden dust all around me while the troopers never lost a memeber. My fellow fighters were deadly. A dracaena charged straight at me but I just took a dagger from my utility belt and threw it at her with deadly accuracy: straight between the eyes and it turned to dust. Hmph! Piece of cake.
I mowed through the monster army, slicing a telekhine here and there. Suddenly, a hellhound appeared in front of me and pounced on me. I fell backwards and my sword fell out my hellhound was on top of me, about to eat my head but I punched it and sent it flying off me. It didn't do much harm but it was a good distraction. I looked around for my sword but couldn't find it; time to do it the modern way. I summoned the gatling guns and my gauntlets were replaced with two super-deadly machine guns on my wrists with Chaotic gold bullets. If you were wondering, Chaotic gold was a substance made by Chaos himself and it was capable of harming monsters, demigods, gods and titans. In other words, you wouldn't want it to touch you.
I fired my guns into the enemy lines and the air was again filled with golden dust. I charged forward while firing my guns. I felt something powerful behind me and saw that it was an earthborn; OH NO! I could not kill this alone because I wasn't powerful enough. Right now, only the "experienced" campers could destroy them because the Commander isn't here.
The earthborn looked at me with hate-filled eyes. Well, that was understandable considering I alone had just destroyed a quarter of his army.
Suddenly, the earth erupted in front of me.
Alexis POV (Daughter Of Athena)
I sliced through minions of the Titans. This was an easy battle. The Titans and Gaia didn't know what we, Troopers, were capable of. My train of thought was disturbed when suddenly, a demigod appeared in front of me. I saw that he had a dark aura on him, a bit like Mark. He must be a Son of Hades, I reasoned. He raised his sword (I noticed it was made of Stygian Iron) and prepared to strike me down with it but I was too fast for him. As his sword came down, mine met his halfway with such force that he stumbled backwards. He shocked by the power; in his opinion, we were just inexperienced new campers. I brought my sword to his neck but he deflected it. He ducked and aimed at my legs but I swung my sword downwards and stopped his attack. I pushed his sword upwards and hit his helmet with the hilt of my sword. All it did was disorient him for a second. After that, he lunged at me again and tried to stab my chest but I blocked it and drove his sword back and tried the disarming method the commander had taught me. I caught his hilt with my sword and twisted my sword; his sword fell to the ground with a CLANG! He hit him on his helmet again and this time he was out for good.
I looked around and saw that all monsters had been destroyed. Most of the troopers were standing on the side, watching the stronger troopers battle the earthborns.
The troopers had a system, after the monsters were taken care of, the less experienced troopers would stop fighting and go on the side and only help if the situation got out of hand; otherwise, the earthborns and giants were left for the more experienced campers.
I looked around and saw that all the troopers had taken care of most of the earthborns. A few were finishing off theirs. I looked for Mark and saw that he was lying down in front of a earthborn. Suddenly, the earth in front of him erupted! I though it was another earthborn being created but I was proved wrong when I heard a WHOOSH above me. I looked up and saw a white jet was flying above us. I looked closely and saw it was White Raven - one of the most elite models in the Chaotic Army. I looked around at my fellow troopers and saw all of them had the same triumphant smiles as me; the Titans and Gaia would never know what hit them.
Third Person POV
Everyone looked at the bottom of half-blood hill looked up to see what had fired at the earthborn that was facing Mark. They saw a white jet flying above them firing its guns at the earthborns. The campers looked shocked. The Titans and Gaia looked scared. The Troopers looked happy.
All the troopers were thinking of the same thing:
The Commander had arrived! And like always, he had arrived in style!
Author's Note: Yes! one more chapter finished. most probably i will do ch. 5 tomorrow. Also,, do you guys want Percabeth or do you want Percy to make annabeth suffer?
