Chapter 3:

Omega was pacing back and forth in his room, as Bianca did what she always did when he was pacing- laying in bed reading, waiting for him to join her.

"Why the hell would Calypso even consider bringing them!?" He said finally. His wife hardly looked up and said "I hardly think that that is what's bothering you." He looked at her "What else would it be?" she looked at him skeptically "You are in pain, Omega. It still hurts you. The people who hurt you are still here, and seeing them hurts you." He shook his head "it doesn't. Pain is for the weak. I am not weak." She glared at him slightly, putting down her book "then you are weak omega. You feel pain. You feel so much more then you let on." He glared back at her "I don't care about them. I only care about you." He tried to pull her into his arms, but she stepped away. Hurt flashed in his eyes "Bianca" he whispered, but she did not back down. "No. Admit it, Percy. You care. It hurts you. Every time you open up, and care, they hurt you. Hell, it even hurts you to hear your own name! So you've convinced yourself that caring, emotion, are for the weak. But it's the opposite. Caring gives you strength." He shook his head "No." "Yes. You have so much more potential! Have you not noticed how no matter how much your children love you, they cower away from you when you are angry? That is because for their entire lives, hey have only seen the emotionless you. They don't know how human you are. They don't know their own father, Perce! Open up a bit! If not for my sake, then for theirs!" He looked ready to kill someone "I am not weak. I have you. I have them. What more do I need?" She took a step towards him, maintaining her glare, not flinching away for even a second "do you? Yes, we are married, yes they are our children, but you never let us in. You lock yourself away from your own flesh and blood! When you don't let us be there for you, do you really have us there? No. Open up percy. Before you lose yourself." This time, he did not reply. He took her in his arms, and kissed her passionately. She remained ridged for a moment, but kissed him back. A few minutes later, he pulled back panting "why are you so stubborn?" She smiled "because someone needs to be as stubborn as you." He picked her up in the air, and spun her around, laughing, before jumping into bed, with her by his side.

-LINE BREAK-

The gods were back at camp, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. Omega and his commanders stood on the beach, looking at the sky expectantly. Around 5 minutes later, a camper, a 10 year old son of iris, shouted "they're here!" And indeed they were; 8 black ships could be seen in the distance, behind a golden one. Omega looked confused "where is the tenth ship?" He looked behind him, to see his commanders stifling their laughter, and when he looked up, he knew why; a silver ship was trailing behind the others, swirling, making loop- de- loops, and leaving a message written in the clouds; 'AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS- THE TWINS HAVE THE WEEL! Hi Mom and Dad!' Bianca rolled her eyes, while omega glared at his warriors. "Which of you," he glared pointedly at a select few, "were stupid enough to leave Conner and Travis with the keys!? Did I not specifically order that Paul be left in charge of the ship?" Two of the warriors, who the gods recognized as Nico and Valens, sighed in defeat, and said "it was us." Omega glared at them "were you two aware that my daughter is bringing the newborns?" Valens looked shocked, and Nico's mouth formed a very comical 'O'. Omega turned his attention back to the ships. All but the silver one had landed. Out of each of the black ships, stepped out 250 warriors, dressed in armor just as black as their ship. The only difference, was the symbol on the front, and it's color. Out of the golden ship came around 150 golden clad warriors. The warriors bowed, and then saluted and cried "SIR!" The assassin saluted back and called "at ease." He scanned the golden warriors before saying "come now raptor, are you going to stand on ceremony all day, or welcome your best friend back?" The man, Raptor, laughed and stepped forward. "Many congratulations omega. Twins, am I right?" The assassin smiled "much easier for the first month. Just wait, in a few years, they'll be in your hair day and night, Raptor. My kids are attached to you. Why, I don't know, but, as long as they're happy." Raptor grinned "This is what? Numbers 15 and 16? Are you ever going to have enough children Omega?" His laugh was genuine, and warm "From the Lovely Lady Lapis? I can't get enough of her! But when she wants to stop, I won't push." Bianca rolled her eyes "no Raptor. We have no plans to stop having children any time soon. It's good to see you old friend." Omega turned his attention back to the silver ship, which had finally landed. 14 teenagers walked down the stairs that had appeared out of nowhere, and formed a line. "CALYPSO!" The assassin roared. One of the girls stepped forward, trembling slightly. When Omega saw this, his gaze softened slightly "Did I not specifically tell you that you were to remain on the home planet with the young ones? Yet you bring two newly born children into a war zone along with yourself?" She stood slightly straighter and spoke in a tone of indignation "Daddy, you said I would come to earth by my 10,000 birthday. The others did also! And if I didn't watch Mal and Vicky, who would?" He rubbed his temples and sighed in obvious exasperation "Firstly, your siblings did not fly out into a war zone when they came to earth at your age. Second, who is Nyx, if not the only sibling that I would trust with my children, apart from Thassala? And third," the smallest trace of amusement flickered across his face "Weren't you born in November?" A few of the teenagers snickered. The assassin turned serious again "I want you on that ship in an hour. Bring Clarisse or Frank with you if you must, but you are going back to Azil." This time she remained calm, and her expression turned fierce. "No." She said, causing all the warriors to go into a state of shock, including Omega, while Bianca beamed with pride "What?" Omega said, as if the word was unfamiliar to him "N-O" she said, as if speaking to a toddler "No. I will not go home. I am a warrior. And a true warrior never runs or backs down from a fight. Especially not a warrior of chaos. And most definitely not one of the mighty Eternity squad! I am staying. No matter what you say." The gold clad warriors cheered, and the assassin sighed in defeat "Why is it that all my girls inherited their mothers stubbornness? You can stay. But the moment we get back, you are grounded. I want you, Paul and the twins to wait for me in the living room. Top floor is yours. Come to the arena in 2 hours. I have been challenged by a minor god." The warriors laughed hysterically, and Ryan grumbled. "Dismissed." The teens cheered and ran off towards the cabin. Omega turned back to the warriors "Training commences as usual, no tardiness. War meeting for the commanders after the duel. Until then you are free to do what ever you want. Unfortunately, father will not remove the spell that prevents us from leaving until at least ten of you reveal your identities."

The warriors groaned, those who introduced themselves in the throne room did so again, and the others stood still, until a single woman stepped forward, dressed entirely in gold, with a star pierced by an arrow engraved on the front of her armor. When she removed her helmet, the hunters and immortals gasped "I am Stella. Otherwise known as Zoe nightshade. Daughter of atlas. I am head archer of the army, and a member of the eternals." Raptor stepped forward "I am Raptor. I was once..." He had removed his helmet, resulting in gasps, and a cry of "LUKE!" From annabeth, but she was met with a fierce glare "What?" She said, stunned "Why?" "Why? You of all people are asking me why I did something? Well, I am going to return that question Why in hell annabeth, did you cheat on Percy Jackson with the guy who freaking killed his parents!? I will talk to you when Percy forgives you, so basically, never." He turned back to the crowd "Luke castellan, the son of Hermes is dead. He died 5000 years ago on Olympus. I am raptor, commander of the warriors, Omega's second In command, one of the eternals." He nodded slightly to Hermes, who's jaw was on the floor. Another one stepped forward "I am Aes. I was known as, and still am by those who are my friends, Charles Beckendorf, son of Hephaestus. From the Betas." A girl stepped forward and kissed him lightly on the cheek, so the immortals immediately knew who she was "I am Libero. And if you are accepted as my ally, you can call me Silena bauregard, daughter of Aphrodite. From the betas." Another girl stepped forward, and her appearance made a certain immortal son of Jupiter's jaw slacken "I was once Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite. I am now Bella, daughter of Hemera. From the Gammas." Another woman stepped forward "I was Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto. I am now Aureo, daughter of Nyx. Of the alphas." Another woman stepped forward "I am Dux. I was once Reyna ARA (forgot her full name), daughter of bellona. I am on of the eternals." "I was the one and only Leo Valdez, Supreme Commander if the Argo II, son of Hephaestus. I am now Ardor. But a son of the forge god is eternal. And I am one of the eternals. And men- lay a single finger on my lady Dux, you'll be a supreme evening BBQ entertainment. And the warriors all love when I do those." The warriors were a mess of laughter and clapping. The god of the forge seemed shocked that his two favorite sons were back, and extremely pleased that neither of them had taken on the name of another god as their parent, and even more so when Leo said he would always be his son.

He was also pleased that although Leo seemed more serious and war like, he was still the same Leo.

The last of the ten introduced themselves "I am Fera. I was once Frank Zhang, son of mars. I am one of the eternals. And I am married to Aureo." Omega put his foot on the line that separated the grass and the sand. When nothing happened, he called "You have an hour and forty five minutes. Dismissed."

The assassin planed to go to his cabin, but was cornered by the trainer of Hero's. "Pardon me, Lord Omega," he said "But would you mind if I spoke to you in private for a few minutes?" To his surprise, Omega smiled "Of course. And you do not need to fear me Chiron. I am not your enemy." And they wandered into the big house.

The blue house was just as he remembered. When he saw the wall, he turned to Chiron "Perseus Jackson, Thalia Grace and Nicholas Di Angelo. What did those three do to deserve this honor?" Chiron closed the door an smiled "Come now Percy. You know you three deserved it." He seemed shocked for a minute, before smiling "I should have known you would find out. What gave me away?" The centaur smiled "Your connection with Bianca and Luke, you hate Ryan, Annabeth and Poseidon, you built a cabin on the beach, and your children's names were rather obvious." Omega laughed "Yes, I do suppose I was rather obvious. But not enough so that anyone else will find out, I suppose. What did you wish to discus with me?" Chiron frowned "Why are you helping us? This is the place that hurt you. And how in hades did you come to be the son of the creator?!" Omega frowned slightly "I had arrived at my mothers home and found her dead. My four year old sister watched Ryan murder them. And he enjoyed it. He left a message for me, along with a video of it. All in a hope to break me. For 2 years my sister and I ran. From the monsters and from the world. My father had been watching us. We were going to be killed by Hyperion, when he arrived. When he offered us a place to stay, I still didn't trust him, but I wanted my sister safe and healthy. So I accepted. And that was the best decision I made in my life. And as for helping you. I accepted because the generation of demigods who betrayed me died. Only a few have lived, and they will pay, if they are undeserving of immortality. And when the war with my sister is done, I will return to the void, and live my life without the memories." Chiron nodded. He could vaguely understand why Percy would leave earth behind, but he had deeply missed the boy. "Your friends have missed you. You could at least tell them you are alive." Omega shook his head "it will only make it hard on them when I leave. But maybe my father will be in need of another warrior or two. You never know. He has wanted to recruit Clarisse since the Titan war. But her life has been good. She has had no reason to leave. If you'll excuse me, my children are waiting." And he left without another word.

-LINE BREAK-

Paul knew he was in trouble. He knew the four of them were in trouble. But his younger siblings didn't seem to care. They were grinning, and chatting, and laughing, as if nothing happened. But then again, everyone knew that they would get scolded, and be dismissed. He was going to get a long talk on his choice in girls.

After nearly 15 minutes. Their father came in, looking as cold as ever. "Conner, Travis." He started, "Loved the arial show earlier. But that was possibly the most irresponsible thing you two have ever done! There were two newly born children in that ship! Were you aware of that?" The twins exchanged a look, before they put on an innocent face. The moment they did so, Paul knew that they had won their battle

"But dad," Conner started, letting Travis continue "We had auntie Nyx's children carry the twins..."

"Outside the ship."

"So technically,"

"They Weren't in the ship at all." They finished in unison. "So we didn't do anything wrong, you see?" Conner said, looking hopeful. He sighed "Fine. As far as I'm concerned, you two are in the clear. Although your mother might think otherwise. Get upstairs before I change my mind." The two nodded, and dashed away. Paul watched his father look at his sister, disappointed "Caly," he said softly, using a tone that he had only ever heard when his father spoke with their mother "Why did you really come? You know that I had a trip planned for you. We were going to see my favorite place on this planet. You could have waited 3 months. That was all you needed to do." She looked on the verge of tears "I was scared." He frowned "Of what?" "That you would leave me. I have always been scared of it. I don't want to be left behind. And I know how powerful your brothers and sister are, and I was worried that they would make you or mom fade. Or anyone in our family." A few tears fell down her cheeks, and she was pulled into a hug. "I'm not going anywhere princess." Their father said, stroking her hair soothingly. Paul found himself wishing that his father would care that much about him. But calypso had always been their fathers favorite. Maybe because of her name, or maybe due to the fact that she was an exact replica of their mother, he wasn't sure. "And neither is your mother. We will be there for you. Forever. No matter what. Go upstairs. Your mom is there. Talk to her." She nodded slightly, sniffling as she walked up the stairs. His fathers eyes found his and he sighed "Why her? You could have had so many girls, Paul. And you chose her. I know shes pretty. But Why?" He looked at his hands. He didn't really understand himself. "I don't know dad. I'm 45000 years old, dad. It's not like I've never tried dating before. But I have never felt this way before in my life. When I look at her, I feel like she is the only person in the universe. And when I kissed her..." His father growled "how long ago was this?" He looked down, though not ashamed in the slightest "4 months. I've been seeing her in secret for 4 months." "You've been hiding this from your mother? From your siblings? From me for the past 4 months? We are your family!" He stood up "What family? You're never there for us! And then when you get back you act like a father? I doesn't work like that! I shouldn't have hidden it from my siblings, or mom! But you are not my father! Not until you act like it." He was sure that the assassin would go nuts, but he collected himself and said "If I catch you talking to her one more time- you will never see that girl again. Is that clear?" He would have said something, but his mother had just walked in the room and sent him a rather disappointed look, so he nodded and left, his mother right behind him.

The moment they reached his room, she slammed the door and took a commanding tone "Sit." She said, and he knew better than to argue. "That was uncalled for young man." She said "Why? It's the truth! He has never been there for us! We had to grow up without him. And then he comes back and acts like a parent. Why shouldn't I tell him the truth!?" She shook her head "You don't know how hard your father try's Paul. He loves you. He has since the moment you were born. But when ever he has shown people how much he feels, they use it against him. So he hides it, until we are alone. Just us. And now you told him that. That might just have been the last straw. I know you think you love Piper, but this is a teenage crush. Like your father and the daughter of Athena. Like my crush on Luke. None of it was real. It's a small thing that you think is real when you are young, and then it fades. I agree with your father. No more seeing her. And I want you to give your father a full apology for the way you spoke to him earlier. Go join your siblings. Now."

He knew better than to argue with her.

But he never got a chance to join the training.
