Hello My Darlings!
Based on the poll on my profile, which is still going by the way so go VOTE, you wanted more Warriors of Chaos so I am now updating! Unfortunately there is a catch so read on!
*~*~*~*As all of you who read the last chapter know, I did a Percy POV! I also told you that for every 30 reviews you would get some more Percy! Well, we are only 11 away from that goal and I need to tell the next bit of the story from his POV. Without it, this story would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. So I posted this chapter, which happens to be a little shorter, and I'm hoping to get the last 11 reviews quickly so I can update this story tomorrow! (No work! :D)
I know this chapter isn't as interesting but it will answer one of your guys' more frequent of questions! But I shall not tell you which because then you will not read this chapter. So basically read it, review it, new chapter from Perce's POV! hint: it will explain more on the details of the mysterious, familiar yet unrecognizable girl, maybe even reveal who she is if i get loads of reviews like almost to, oh i dont know, 80?
Either way, once we reach 60 I can update again with the new chapter which I guarantee is in PERCY's POV! So, now, I give to you...Chapter 6! and remember - READ IT. REVIEW IT. NEW CHAPTER.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or X Men from who I take names and powers.
-Previously-
I didn't recognize her, but she did look oddly familiar. She wore an older version of the Camp Half-Blood shirt; apparently they changed every hundred years, khaki short shorts, and blue vans. She had shoulder length, raven black hair which was tangled from the wind, an athletic body with tanned skin, and deep sea-green eyes that were rimmed with red, probably from crying along with the recent tear stains on her cheeks.
When she saw me, her tears stopped and we both stood there, staring at each other, neither of us making a sound. I debated turning around and running back the way I had come, but decided against it considering she probably knew this place better than I did now. She looked angry, shocked, and confused all at the same time before she whispered a single word that I hadn't heard since I had left camp.
"Percy?"
(A/N: This is back a little before the meeting and a few hours after Chaos Army left the pavilion, but you will understand it better later on. Alright, I'm done rambling!)
PSYCHE PoV
There were twenty minutes until dinner and I was bored. Havok had mysteriously vanished after his dramatic exit and I didn't have some cool super-mutation to practice. I didn't feel like interacting with the demigods just yet, so I decided to go find the Warriors and see what they were doing.
I got up from my spot on the couch and walked across the room to the basement door. The basement was divided into four sections; one for each of the divisions in our army's use and one for our weapon storage. Most of us kept our weapons in our rooms, but we still had extras in case we needed them.
I knocked on the door before I heard Raven call out, "Come on in!"
I opened the door to surprisingly find them sitting on an L shaped couch in front of a projector. Hank had a laptop while Raven was controlling the projector.
"Hey McCoy! You mind if I join you guys?" I asked as I plopped down into the corner seat next to Raven.
Hank mumbled something that sounded like "Sure" without looking up at me. He was furiously typing while everyone was waiting for the slide to change. His nickname was Beast, but I wasn't sure what his mutation was. I had never seen him explain or demonstrate it, and I wasn't sure I actually wanted to know what it was.
The room was large, obviously magically altered, and furnished so you could do multiple things in here at once. The walls were painted cream, there were black concrete floors, and the decorations were almost all red.
"Do you guys only do red?"
"Most of the time. It's all we have to show our alliance, so red is important to us." Banshee told me, his light brown skater hair in his face.
"Cool! So what are you doing?" I asked.
"We're looking at the physical records for potential Warriors or recruits. Immortals are always the most fun because they have a wide range of talents!" Raven told me. She clicked a button and a new screen came up. A photo of an immortal took up the entire screen and I recognized it to be Thalia Grace; Jason's sister.
"Thalia Grace." Hank read out and everyone, including me, turned their attention back to the screen. "She is the eldest daughter of Zeus. Her body is fifteen years old, but she is approximately four hundred and ninety nine years old. She was an immortal huntress of Artemis, as well as her lieutenant, until she was granted pure immortality from her father along with the other immortal campers.
She remained loyal to Artemis until her father and Lord Hades arranged a marriage between her and Nico di Angelo one hundred and twelve years ago. Neither of the two were happy with the marriage. She still hunts with her sister and abstains from all contact with men as much as possible."
"Vital Statistics?" Banshee asked.
"Female. Daughter of Zeus and Ms. Lydia Grace, (A/N: I don't think it ever says Thalia's mother's name so I just made one up. If it does, leave it in a review and I'll change it back!) Sister of Jason Grace, also an immortal. She has black hair and blue eyes, both inherited from her father." Hank told him.
The Warriors nodded and Hank waited for another question.
"Weapons?" Raven asked at the same time I asked "Fatal flaw?"
They looked at me in confusion and I explained. "A fatal flaw is a weakness that can kill you. Any descendant of the Gods has one."
"Well," Hank said while he read the reports, "Her weapon preferences include a bow, spear, and shield."
"The shield isn't good in battle." Banshee stated.
"While her…flaw…" Hank continued, "appears to be, based on the information here, that she has a weakness when offered power. She is always tempted to take it, no matter what. It also states she has a fear of heights."
"She definitely has the potential, being a daughter of Zeus, but her weaknesses would be hard to harness and we'd have no guarantee that she'd even be able to overcome it. Since her joining the army would give her more power, I'd say it would be a risk to take her. So I vote no." Raven said, before she got up and walked over to a table on the other side of the room I hadn't seen coming in.
She picked something up and walked back over, and I saw it was two brownies. She handed me one before biting into the other and I smiled gratefully before following her example.
"I don't know. She could be really useful in our army. Not as a warrior, I don't see any potential there, but as a soldier. She could be very strong." Banshee argued.
"But we aren't recruiting for the Soldiers. We are searching for Warriors." Raven argued back.
"True…I still think we should keep an eye on her. She might have a gift we are overlooking. I think we should let Havok look at her and make the decision. He's always been good at seeing potential, so is your brother, Rave."
"Where is your brother anyway?" I asked. I hadn't seen him since I'd left the mess hall this morning and I doubt he'd still be there.
"I'm not sure. He said he needed to do some things and asked I not interrupt. Do you think I should go find him?" Raven asked.
I stood up and stretched, before heading to the door. "I'll do it. I need to round up the Peacemakers for dinner anyway. You guys coming?" I asked. They nodded and put their stuff to the side before following me out the door.
We went up the stairs towards the bedrooms and I followed them until Hank pointed towards a door next to Raven's. I waited until they were all in their rooms before I walked up to the door. I was just about to knock when I heard voices.
Xavier had told me his room had magically been protected against other minds and attacks, but I guess he'd forgotten to soundproof it. I leaned up against the door and I could make out two voices; one female and one male, who I recognized as Xavier. It was hard to hear, but I could get the gist of it.
'And Percy's?' The girl's voice asked. Annabeth?
I wondered why Annabeth would be talking to Xavier about Percy, especially since she'd been with Cole for who knows how long.
Their voices were too mumbled for me to hear and it took a few minutes until Xavier said something about Havok that I could make out clearly.
'We aren't here for the reason you all think we are. Lord Chaos sent us here because of Havok. Lady Nyx believes he needs a partner, or as you call it here a girlfriend or wife. She begged Lord Chaos to send us here looking for a mutation that could be with him, but Havok's had a terrible past in romance.'
I was shocked that Chaos and Nyx would force Havok into this. I knew all about Havok's past in romance, thus my new name, and I knew he should have someone who could make him happy, but still. They loved him like a son. Why would they make him do something he didn't want to do?
'What do you mean?' Annabeth nearly whispered.
'He loved someone before he left to join Chaos. She was everything to him. When he learned that something was going to happen to her if he didn't do something, he went to Chaos who had offered him a position just a few days before. In exchange for his joining the army, she was to be kept safe and happy.'
Annabeth started to say something else, but Raven opened her door and I jumped away, making it look like I had just left. I smiled and walked over.
"Is he finished with whatever and coming to dinner?" She asked hopefully. I shook my head, and decided I'd ask him about the conversation later, when he was alone. We waited a second for Hank and Banshee to join us, and we headed down to meet the others before going to dinner with the demigods.
Love it? Hate it? Tell me what you think in a REVIEW so I can update (with the PERCY POV!) and it will start to make a heck of a lot of sense!
Remember, we need at least 11 to get the update, and above 75 reviews total to find out who the girl Percy met was and why she's super important in this story! Make a guess in your review! I'll give you a shout out if you get it right! Any guesses on who Psyche's real identity is?
Love you all! Going to go start this next chapter now!
