Hello again, my dangerous readers! Who's ready for another badass chapter?! *audience boos and throws tomatoes* Whatever, still gonna give you it. Anywho, I need a favor from you guys. Just mention this story to anyone who loves Percy Jackson through Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Kik, and any other social media. If you all can do that, then this story will be a blast! Anyway, onward with the story!
Percy's P.O.V
As the ship landed into the port, I saw that Leo and his group were already back, which means I owe him fifty bucks now, so shit. As the girls and I got out of T.I.T.S (never gonna hear the end of that name from Leo), both groups met up and started to introduce themselves. The girl who seemed to glow, both literally and figuratively, was Alexa, daughter of Aether. The man (when did we agree to recruit adults?) with the cool black wings with red lining was Dravyx, son of Tartarus (hopefully he's nothing like his dad….), and the guy and girl standing in silence were Cameron, son of Erebus (didn't know he could have kids, you know, since he is MARRIED…) and Jessica, daughter of Ouranos, or how she says it, Uranus (snicker, snicker). After we all got to know each other, we started walking to the throne room to introduce the newest recruits for our… guild? group? I don't know yet, though maybe we'll find out soon. As we walking, I asked the recruits a question that had been bothering me since we all got back together. I asked them, 'I wanna know. How is it all of you were at the camps, but nobody noticed you? I mean, I should've seen you once or twice in my time at camp. Now my niece, long story, I can understand, as I wasn't really at the Roman camp for long, but the rest of you are Greeks, and you all were at Camp Half-Blood. How did you all stay so hidden?" The three Leo recruited looked at each other for a second, and then Cameron said, "Well, we don't really know. We were always around, but no one ever seemed to notice us. Hell, I thought I was a ghost until these two noticed me. So yeah, I can't really give an answer to that." I looked over at Stephanie and said, "Well, what about you?" She looked away and said, "Well I didn't really stay at camp. I mean, I would come in every now and then, but I would stay in the woods most of the time, but every time I came in no one paid attention to me. I was fine with it, though, because I preferred to be alone after…." then she went quiet. No one chose to push on, because we all have bad memories….Memories that break a man's spirit to fight for those who betrayed him for a phony...a fake…
Leo's P.O.V.
After Stephanie stopped talking, I could see that Percy was remembering what was happening to him before, and who could blame him? The man went through losing so many of his close friends due to things that his dickwad of a brother actually did, found said dickwad fucking his girlfriend, whom he was going to marry, and got disowned by his father (though his dad didn't want to), and left the place he once called home, all because of his brother. I nudged him on the shoulder, and when he looked over at me, I gave him my well known grin, which made him chuckle. We finally reached the throne room, where there was a lady standing there, looking at some papers, which confused me a bit. Where was Chaos? Percy and the others seemed to be just as confused as me, so I spoke up and asked, "Um, ma'am? Do you happen to know where Chaos is at?" She looked over at us and said, "Oh, you're here, and I see the missions went perfectly, right guys?" I continued to look in a stupor, and said, "Yeah, but who are you?"
"Very funny, Leo. It's me."
"Me who?"
"Chaos. It's me, Chaos." she ended with a frustrated tone. I looked at her and said, "You're not Chaos. Chaos is a guy, not a girl." She looked down at herself and chuckled, then snapped her finger, and she turned back into a he (confusing much?), and said, "I'm sorry, that only happened a few times before, and that's whenever new women are around. It makes them a bit more comfortable." Realization dawned upon all of us, and a chorus of ahhs and ohhs could be heard throughout the whole group. All of a sudden, Stephanie pushed through the group and stormed up to Chaos, looking as if to unleash all Tartarus upon her father. She finally was in front of him, and did the opposite of what we were all expecting. She looked up at him, with tears streaming down her face, and asked, "Did you at least come to her funeral?" Chaos looked at her with a solemn look and said, "Yes, my dear, I did." That's when she broke down, crying into her father's shoulder, while he wrapped her in a big hug. After a few more seconds of crying, Stephanie stopped and looked at us, saying in a very serious and dangerous tone, "This never happened. Anyone who speaks of this, I promise them a world of hell. Understood?" We all shook our heads in agreement, even Dravyx. Chaos then spoke up and said, "Well, as I was saying earlier, good job Percy and Leo, or should I say Astrix and Deadpool?" Both me and Percy blushed a little but still responded with a nod. Chaos then continued on with his speech, "Anywho, since you guys did so good on your first missions, I offer you guys a gift. You two can choose anyone, dead or alive, to bring here to see if they would like to join our group. Leo, you can go first since you're group came back first, and for how you took down Dravyx very easily." This earned a glares from Dravyx, but I ignored it and said, "Well, in that case, the people I would like to bring into the group are Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque." As soon as I finished that sentence, they all appeared in front of us. Good news, right? Well, that's until they appeared in war armor and in the middle of an attack. Everyone had to jump back, and after the other realized where they were at, they stopped attacking. Then they saw both me and Percy, and they jumped on us, screaming, "You guys! You're alive!", which then lead to the both of us getting repeatedly punched by both Piper and Hazel, and some awesome bro hugs from Frank and Jason. Jason immediately stopped, though, and said, "No, no, no, this means we lost the war. We lost it all." The other three started cursing with some very colorful words that will not be repeated…. Ever, while Percy asked, "What war? Who were you fighting?" Jason looked over at him and said, "Issac. The four of us and some of the other campers from both camps didn't like how tyrannical he was, so we decided to fight back against him. It was a failed mission from the beginning. He had both camps on his side, and those who weren't on his side were seen as traitors and outcasts. We were in the final battle against him, but since you brought us here, I think we lost."
That's when Chaos said, "Well, why don't we take a look and see." He snapped his fingers, and a big screen popped up in front of us all, and the picture shown was so horrifying that most of the new recruits had to look away, while it made my blood boil in pure, unholy anger, and I know it was doing the same to the others, especially Percy. There were dead bodies everywhere, and in the center of it all was him..the man who cause it all to happen. Issac was in front of a demigod, telling him to beg for mercy. When the demigod chose to spit in his face in response, he cut his head off, with no guilt or shame at all. The image pissed me off royally, and the dead bodies made me want to puke. All of a sudden, a fist went through the screen, and said fist came from none other than Percy himself. He stood up straight, healed, his hand, and said, "We may not be able to save those who've died, but I promise you that one day, and Chaos help me, we will go back, and I will kill that son of a bitch myself if I have to and we will end his rule of power. Do you want to help me kill him, or not? The others nodded their head without any hesitation, and that's when I knew, no one was going to be able to stop us when it came to that goal.
Percy's P.O.V.
After Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank shook their heads in agreement, Chaos turned to me and said, "Well then, Percy, it's your turn. Who would like to bring into our group?" I stood where I was, thinking for a minute, before I said, "I want to bring back Luke Castellan, Zoe NIghtshade, Charles Beckondorf, and Silena Beauregard." In a poof of smoke, there they were, my old friends. They looked around for a second, before they all saw me and yelled, "Percy!" and proceeded to give me one hell of a bear hug. When they let go, I was bombarded with a bunch of questions from them, but I stopped them and told them everything they needed to know. The reactions were...well….expected. Both Luke and Zoe looked like they wanted to kill someone with their bare hands, while Silena had a saddened look on her face. Beckondorf had a few different emotions on his face. I could tell he was pissed about what Annabeth did and about Issac, but there was a look of pride and joy when he found out about his little brother who saved the world with his old dragon. I asked them all the same question I asked the first four, and the response was the same, and that's when I knew, I knew that I was no longer one of the Seven. No, I was apart of something much more dangerous and something much more different.
Chaos looked on with a serious look, and then he told us all, "Well, now that's been all settled, let's get on with the initiations, shall we?" He snapped his fingers, and all the other Primordials were in their thrones. Gaea sneered at us, while Tartarus and some of the other Primordials looked on with an amused look. That's when the recruits went up one by one to get their blessings from their respected Primordial. Stephanie de Boux decided to go first, and her respected Primordial giving her blessing was going to be from Chaos himself. He blessed her with better control of her powers, and a bit more resistance against the sun. She chose the name of White Bride, and walked off to the side to watch the others get initiated. Jessica went up next, and she finally met her dad, who gave the full potential to her powers and the air of any planet, which made her apparently come up with the codename JetStream. She went over by White Bride and watched the initiations with her. Alexa came up next, and also got complete control over her powers and the domain of the sun, and she decided to call herself Angel. She went off to go practice with her new powers. Luke went up next, and he decided to be blessed by Chronos. He got the ability be able to control time, and he got better control of his Hermes abilities. He decided to call himself Guardian, considering that he was older than most of us. He went on a private mission for Chaos immediately, only to return around 7 in the morning tomorrow.
Cameron went up and met Erebus and his angry step-mother, Nyx, which looks like someone's not gonna get laid tonight. Cam got supreme control over his powers involving the darkness, and could make clones of himself or anyone just out of surrounding shadows. He decided he was going to go by his last name, Dreygon. Beckendorf went up next, and he got the ability to fuse stuff together, and he decided to call himself Forge. He went with Leo to go to the Forges at the Palace. Silena went up next, and she got better control over all her abilities, and now whenever she sings, she puts the target into a deep spell, and the target turns from foe to friend as long as she sings. She decided to call herself Charmcaster. She decided to go to the malls around on this planet to see what type of clothing they had, which is something a child of Aphrodite would probably do after being revived, but hey, it's her life. Dravyx went up next, and he got blessed by his father and got his mask removed, which shocked all of us and even him. Tartarus apologized, and Gaea did too, even though she wasn't happy about it. He decided to go by the name Darkseid. He walked out of the throne room, going off to do who knows what on this planet.
Zoe went next, and she got an ability that allows her to make her arrows become any sort of arrow, such as an ice arrow or fire arrow, with just her mind. She chose to go by the codename Silver Arrow. Frank decided to go up next and he got his powers an extra upgrade by the Primordials, and could now change into any animal or being from any planet, thanks to Phanes. Frank decided to go by the name Shifter. Hazel obviously went up next, and she got rid of her curse, which means she could finally conjure up any metal much better, and could use regular Mist and make Chaos Mist, a mist that's twice as strong as the regular Mist. She went by the name Mystifier. Jason and Piper were up next, and they seemed excited to become apart of this big group. Both of their blessing were pretty amazing, in their own respective ways. Jason got much better control of his wind powers and his sword got upgraded with the Platadam metal, which made it much more stronger than before. Jason even got the ability to control water and fire at will, which is pretty badass. Piper got better control over her charmspeak, even though she really doesn't need it, and her swordsmanship was increased slightly, and she got the ability of telepathy. Both of them took a while to think of their names, but they both came up with some pretty good names. Jason chose to be know as Vindicator, while Piper wanted to be known as Arsenal. They went to go off and venture the different parts of this world.
Finally, Stephanie was the last one to get her blessings from none other than her father. Chaos looked at her with pride and said, "I, Chaos, hereby bless my daughter Stephanie Rendon, with my full abilities, along with the ability to give others part of her power if necessary." After he said that, her body seemed to morph into the universe for a bit, but when it came back, she definitely looked older, and more…. Ummmm…. Hotter… not that I was totally checking her out, nope. She looked up at her dad and said, "I want to be called Knightfall." Chaos nodded his head and finished off the blessings by adding the same blessing he added on me and Leo onto the other, no matter where they were at right now. All of a sudden, someone walked into the throne room with a loud bang on the doors. We all turned around and walking towards us was a woman who looked about 21, with black hair and some blue streaks, and her eyes were all black with little white dots floating through her eyes. She walked up to Chaos and Stephanie and hugged Stephanie saying, "Hi, sis. Nice to finally meet you." Leo and I nearly fainted from what we had just heard. Chaos has another daughter! Stephanie seemed shocked too, for she hugged back and said, " I have a sister?" Chaos just looked amused and said, "Stephanie, meet your sister Arista. She's my personal assassin, working on missions only given by me to be done alone, so you may not see her around as much. Now I want you all to go have fun and test out your new powers!"
WHAAAT?!?!?! There's another child of Chaos? Anyway, here's the chapter, and I like to think that thi version is much better than the old version, and now I only have to fix chapter 6 and then I can continue my wonderful (in my opinion) work! Until next time, my dangerous readers, stay dangerous and dastardly!
