Hey guys!

Ok, I know that its been a while since I last updated this story, and I know that those of you who have faithfully following this thing probably want to stab me with a sharpened spoon or something. I would like to thank my reviewers of the last chapter: the ever so loyal mustache man, wouldn't you like 2 know, Yami-leira, SilverMoonEyes23, and Chasezx3. I also thank those who have favorite and alerted my story and me. That means a lot to me, shows that I'm not that bad at writing. Anyway, here's the chapter 4 for you guys.

(Kyle's POV) (don't expect me to do anymore of him)

Man, that guy thinks he can just come in here and take control? Sorry buddy, but this is my camp, so I'm in control. These were the only things I was thinking of as I headed towards the arena. I was about to be late, but who cares? I'm Kyle Mathis. I can do whatever I want. Besides, I'm pretty sure that guy was just giving me an empty threat. I mean, come on. I'm the best sword fighter ever. As if he could ever beat me. When I finally arrived, probably about a minute late, I started to put my armor on. I was ready to hand out the whooping of a life time. I quickly glanced to whats-his-name and noticed that he wasn't wearing his armor anymore, just a green hoodie and dark skinny jeans. He had his hood up and because apparently everything of his that has a hood is enchanted, I couldn't see his face. It doesn't matter though. He's gonna get his butt handed to him on a silver plate with a side of fries. After I put all my armor on, I walked to the center of the arena where hoodie boy was waiting with a sneer on his face. "'Bout time you showed up. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to kick your sorry butt" Wow. Talk about cocky. "Yeah, well I'm here now, so get ready to get your butt handed to you" I said while taking out my sword, riptide, and uncapped it since it was in pen form. The only thing he did was laugh.

(Third person POV)

"Why are you laughing?" asked Kyle. "Cause you actually think you can beat me" Jace answered as he continued to snicker. Kyle grew angry and growled in response, "what's your name anyway? I'm sure we'd all like to know" and made a gesture to the audience in the stands. "My name is Jace" Jace said. He sounded so serious; you never would have been able to guess he was just about to die of laughter. "Well then Jace," Kyle sneered, "Prepare to get completely owned"

"Who actually says 'completely owned'?" questioned Jace as he whipped out Riptide, the real one, from the pocket of his hoodie. "You have a copy of my sword? That's just sad, dude" said Kyle as he charged at Jace. As he neared Jace, Kyle swiped at Jace's left. Dodging the swipe as though it were in slow motion, Jace appears behind Kyle. He doesn't take a shot though, preferring to meet his opponent head on instead of taking cheap shots. "Come on. At least give me some kind of challenge" taunted Jace when Kyle finally realized his opponent wasn't in front of him or in two pieces on the floor of the arena. Turning around, Kyle gave a growl of anger and charged once more at Jace. Unfortunately for Kyle, his earlier statement had finally registered in Jace's head.

The anger that Jace was feeling could be felt by the audience in the stands, as it practically emanated from him in waves. Before Kyle, or anyone else in the audience, including the gods who had shown up to see the fight, could even blink, Jace had Kyle pinned to the floor while delivering multiple cuts to Kyle's body. While none of the cuts were deep enough to be fatal, they were enough to cause a fair amount of pain. Jace got up after about twenty seconds of Kyle slicing, allowing said person to get up. Furious that Jace just practically humiliated him in front of the entire camp, Kyle charged at Jace again, swinging wildly, but fiercely. But that technique doesn't work well when your opponent has faced much stronger beings. After about ten seconds of blocking all of Kyle's wild swings, Jace got bored. After finding an opening, which wasn't very hard, Jace gave Kyle a strong upper cut straight to Kyle's chin, sending said punchee into the sky. However, as Kyle when flying into the sky like a rocket propelled rag doll, the fake riptide caught Jace's hood, forcing it off and revealing the face of the second strongest being in the universe.

Gasps were heard coming out of the mouths of all the campers and the gods, and even a few of the soldiers. Jace turned around to see what had caused everyone to gasp, completely unaware of the situation. Realization finally came upon Jace when Annabeth approached him with one question, "Percy?"

(so I felt like ending it here, but I felt like I owed you guys for waiting so long)

(Jace/Percy's POV)

Ah crap

(Thalia's POV)

Artemis had brought the hunters to camp when we saw every one heading towards the arena. We decided to go see what was going on. While we were watching the fight, all of us completely entranced by the skill that this Jace person had, I couldn't help but feel as though Jace's voice sounded familiar. What happened at the end of the fight only confirmed what I was thinking. Jace's voice was familiar because Jace was Percy. Things just go from good to really bad fast. Annabeth, of all people, walked up to him and asked "Percy?" I don't know why, but I found myself getting up and walking closer. Then I heard "Where the Hades have you been?" coming from Annabeth. "Since when do you care about me or where I am?" replied Percy, malice lacing each word. I saw Annabeth flinch from what he said. "Percy, I've always cared" yeah, right I knew she had cheated on Percy with that moron, Kyle.

Percy let out a quick bark of laughter "You sure had one heck of a way to show it" and as if on cue, Annabeth's way of showing she cared slammed into the ground, no doubt with a broken jaw, bones, and pride. "Percy, I-" Annabeth began. "Save it, Annabeth. I don't want to hear your excuses anymore" he spat out Annabeth's name as though it was the worst thing he had ever tasted. "But Percy, please, just listen" she pleaded. "I said save it!" he shouted. That was when I got good look at his eyes. In place of his old happy, care-free, sea-green eyes were cold, emerald colored eyes, filled to the brim with anger. As Annabeth backed away from the glare that Percy was giving her, her little devil tail between her legs, I took my chances talking to Percy. However, my words didn't come out as collected as I had hoped. "Percy!" I shouted, and then tackled him in a bone-crushing hug.

"Where have you been?" I asked. "Not here" was all he said, but it was enough to make Annabeth mad. "Oh! So you'll answer her, but not me?" she shouted, to which Percy responded with a glare so scary, it would have sent Hades running home, crying for mommy. Half of the camp shrank away from his glare. Just then, someone came up and said "Jace, we need to report in to Chaos" my eyes grew wide as I recognized the name. "Thanks Alec" said Percy. The boy named Alec simply nodded his head and walked away. Percy looked back at me, smirked at my face, and walked away, the rest of the soldiers following after him. Everyone else had started to leave, murmuring amongst themselves. When I looked back at Annabeth, I could practically see the anger and sadness falling off of her in waves. All I could think was this won't end well. Question is, who is it gonna be bad for?
