A/N:

Here It Is! After gruesome hours of editing and daydreaming an idea for this story with my friend, I now present you *drumroll* the chapter 3 of The Company of Light! :D. This is the chapter where Lady Chaos finally meets our two heroes, Percy Jackson and Crystal maiden.

The Company of Light

Chapter 2: The New Commander of The Company of Light

Percy POV

As a man, what I would like to say is, I happily kissed her back. The truth Is, after what that Athena Girl have done to me, I must say that I don't trust my heart when It comes to loving. So, the moment our lips collide, I immediately pulled back.

"I'm so sorry Crystal, After you saved me on that prison, I can tell, without any hesitation, that your really a great girl and everything but, I think after what she has don't to me, I think I'm not yet ready to love."

"It is I who should be sorry Percy. I should not have kissed you without warning. Hold on a second….what do you mean by "After what she has don't to me?". Annabeth betrayed you?"

"Yes, not just Annabeth, The gods, my friends, everyone."

"How could they to that to such a young and noble hero?"

"I don't know, It all started when my repulsive and disgusting half-brother arrived."

"If you don't mind, I would like to hear about your tale regarding on what happened to you this last few weeks."

"I don't mind at all."

Normally, this question would result me to get angry and furious and turn down the asker rudely, but Crystal have this kind of aura at her, that makes It impossible for you to reject her. I told her everything, from the hydra Incident, to how my friend betrayed me and believe everything what Brian says, on how I lost my girlfriend. Heck, I even told her about the dream I had, Brian killing my remaining friend, Thalia and Nico. Before I knew It, tears Immediately fell from my eyes.

"Such a pity to hear such a tragic tale, let your tears fall. Don't hold them back, Brave one."

I never realized how lonely I was this last few weeks. I even nearly forget the pleasure of how talking to another human being feels like. One moment, I'm not even sure If I can trust her, Now, I don't even want her to leave. It took almost half an hour for me to cry myself out and the whole time, she was petting my hair, which was kinda weird, considering I'm a dude and she's a girl.

"Don't you ever get tired of doing that?"

"It's the least I can do for you. I don't even have a clue on what I'm going to do If I was in your place."

"Believe me, the next time I saw their faces, I would thrust Riptide down to their throat without any hesitation."

"Based on the images of you I saw. I could say that you've changed. A lot."

"Really? How so? Wait, what pictures?"

"You can get everything with paid a nymph or naiads. Do you know every single girl back at Camp Titan has a crush on you?"

"Camp Titan?"

"Do you think only gods have affairs on mortals?"

'Wait.. what do you mean by…."

"Of course! It's you, silly."

"I'm not that good-looking. If I was, I wouldn't even lost Annabeth."

"Really? I would remember that they would always say "I know It's wrong but I can't help falling in love with the Poseidon spawn. With those gorgeous green eyes…bla bla bla."

"Okay stop it before I puke. Back to our conversation of me changing. How can you say It?"

"Well the first time I laid my eyes on you, I can't help predicting that your this happy-go-lucky fellow. And will sometimes act stupid with those rash decisions. But from what I can now see, your face is masked with pain, anger, and hatred."

"After what they've done to me, I think It's alrea-"

"I know, Percy, I know."

"It's your turn."

"My turn what?"

"Tell me about yourself. I would like to hear about the rebellion that you started."

"Well, did you know that at the Second Olympian War, We also helped you?"

"No way."

"It's true, when they were preparing to rally the incoming wave of monsters at Camp Titan, Me and a group of about 100 demi-titans managed to destroy all of them."

"Really? I can't believe It. First I found out that Camp Jupiter helped us by toppling Mount Othrys, Now I found out that a group of demi-titans also helped us."

"Well thank you but to tell you the truth, I think the rebellion was a complete failure."

"Why? How did you lost?"

"Well, taken by surprise and overwhelmed by sheer numbers, the Camp Leaders were initially overcome by the crowds. The Headquarters, the Armory, and all of the power station were all secured. But then the axe fell. Monsters started to arrive by the thousand. They burned our strongholds and killed all of the rebels one by one."

"How did you live?"

"I was the leader of the rebellion. They're not going to just kill me and get it over with. My punishment was lifetime prisonment and torture at Alcatraz. And then they finally decided that It's about time they kill me. Fortunately I've managed to trick the Guard who's gonna execute me and immediately made my way to your prison."

"How did you know that I was imprisoned there?"

"Words travels fast. Expecially that the prisoner is the Savior of the Olympus."

To say that I was impressed by her deeds is a huge understatement. She started a rebellion even though she knows that the chances of it being successful is very little.

After we decided that we were now far enough from the Alcatraz , We started hunting for food. By the way she used her Bows and Arrows, I can tell that she's not good at it. The truth is she is an EXPERT at it.

When she saw a deer, she immediately let loose an arrow, piercing it through the heart, giving us a decent dinner that day.

"Wow! You're a very good archer! I think you can even rival Artemis' skill."

"Why thank you very much! To tell you the truth, My skills at swords fighting are not so commendable."

"Why? Using a sword is very easy! Once you find the right size for you, killing a monster will be very easy."

"How about, I'll give you archery lessons and In return, you polish my sword-fighting skills.?

"I'll take that deal."

I must say that the next few hours had been the best ones of my life. For the next few hours we just exchange stories regarding funny moments, She actually bursts out laughing when I told her that I was kicked out of 6 different schools.

"Why did you called your teacher an old sot? Do you even know what that means?"

"I don't know, It sounded cool to me and no, I still have no idea what "old sot" means."

We just lay there laughing like children. Suddenly our laughter was interrupted by the oh so familiar voice of Prometheus.

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

"What are you doing here Prometheus?"

"Perseus Jackson, Your father is not going to like this, you hanging out with his enemy's daughter."

"Get outta here. Leave us alone, I've already told you that I'm not joining your foolish army."

"I was not sent here to get you, I was sent to retrieve the girl."

"No. You're not taking her away from me."

"Wow, found yourself a new girlfriend already? Don't wait for this to get ugly, Jackson, just hand over the girl."

"Good luck doing that, You're not even a decent fighter. Besides, the Ancient rules forbid you to interfere with us."

"Who said I'm the one doing the fighting?"

Just then, an unearthly shriek shook the earth, a sound I had heard before.

Kampe shot into the sky, her bat wings fully extended. She landed right beside Prometheus. Her face was filled with evil glee. The mutant animal heads growled at her waist. Snakes hissed and swirled around her legs. In her right hand was her curved sword. The blades glowed green with poison.

"Oh Gods!" Crystal yelled. She quickly aimed an arrow, but Kampe seemed to sense his presence. She took flight with amazing speed, and Crystal's arrow whizzed harmlessly past her head.

I instantly leaped into the monster's path. Kampe hissed and sliced at me. I dodged, trying to distract her, while Crystal was trying to aim for her chest.

Kampe blocked my sword and I had to jump back to avoid the cloud of poison. One of Crystal's arrows hit her in her hand but she just roared louder.

I charged, dodged the monster's slashes, got inside her guard and almost…almost managed to stab Kampe in the chest, but instead was meet by the flat of her scimitar and I had to sumble backward to avoid being hit.

SLAM!

My eyesight went black. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground. Riptide was nowhere to be seen. The monster had its forelegs on my chest, holding me down.

Hundreds of snakes slithered right above me,hissing like laughter. Kampe raised her green-tinged scimitar and I knew I was out of options.

Suddenly, I remembered that I still have the pen that transforms into a spear. I quickly uncapped it and grew into a 5 foot long spear with a celestial bronze head. Before she can slice me with her scimitar, I quickly sent the spear right through her heart.

Prometheus let out a frustrated growl as his monster turns into dust.

"You have delayed us for a few centuries Jackson, No matter what you do, There's no stopping the raise of Kronos and Gaea."

I closed my eyes as he turns into his true godly form before vanishing.

"That was fantastic, Percy!" Crystal shrieked while crushing me into a hug.

"It was nothing."

"I think this calls for some celebration!"

We roasted our deer over the fire and hungrily bite on the delicious meat.

"To Percy, who single-handedly defeated Kampe."

"You also helped right? The way you shot the arrow at her arm? Fantastic!"

For a moment, all talking stopped, as we filled our empty stomach. I must say that this is a lot delicious than rabbits or a squirrel.

Suddenly our fire seemed to glow even brighter. Crystal also noticed this because she gave me a questioning look. Then from the fire, quickly stepped out an eight year old girl with mousy-brown hair and "warm and cozy" eyes of fire which I recognized as Lady Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth.

Not knowing what to do, I quickly gave Lady Hestia a bow. Crystal also followed my example and gave Lady Hestia a bow.

"You need not to show me respect Perseus. After what my brothers did to you. I'm actually surprised that you still gave me a bow."

"How did you found us and what are you doing here Lady Hestia?"

"You must know better Perseus, not to set a fire. For I Control fire and I am the personification of the hearth."

"Lady Hestia, you're not included to the one who voted me to be exiled right?"

"Of course Perseus. I'm not an Olympian, so I wasn't even got a chance to vote."

"Lady Hestia, What have we done to receive a visit from a goddess."

"Crystal Maiden, Daughter of Oceanus. I see you escaped your impending death."

"uhm…"

"Anyway, I'm here to give you an invitation."

"Invitation?"

"I think it will be better if she's the one who will explain."

As if on cue, a black vortex appeared and out stepped a Lady in a full scale white armor.

"Who are you?"

"Perseus Jackson, It's been a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Chaos, creator and ruler of the universe."

As soon as we heard this I can tell that she's not lying, Crystal and I immediately fell to our knees. She radiated a kind of power that is capable of turning me into ashes anytime she likes.

"Rise up, Brave Heroes . As Lady Hestia stated earlier, I'm here to Invite you two, to my army The Company of Light."

"The Company of Light?"

"It's a battalion consists of Elite and Skilled Soldiers. Together they helped me maintain peace and prosperity in the universe. Unfortunately, I lost my two commanders at the Kepler 22-b Rebellion so I'm looking for someone to replace them."

"You want us to be the commander of the Company of Light?"

"Of course, I've seen you fight Kronos and Gaea Perseus. While you Crystal, leading and starting a rebellion like that only shows that you two have a real potential to be the commander of the Company of Light. Also, you need not to worry about your friend Nico and Thalia, The Fates agreed to resurrect them for their death was not planned and they're currently a member of The Company of Light."

"We accept your offer, Lady Chaos."
