Chapter 8

Alpha's POV

Lights flashed. The ground shook. Powerful winds were blowing everything. The Chaos ship was goimg to land

From afar, the ship looked like a giant pistol with wings and a launch pad and extra rocket boosters. But up close, it's colossal. It was jet black and had little white and yellow specks, like the galaxy. It was actually mad like that so it can camouflage from at outer space. Every inch was polished and shining. The material it was made of was not found on earth and it was ten times more durable than diamond. The ship had massive arsenal of cannons and missiles at its top.

The ship didn't fit at the dining pavilion. The wings almost hit the big house. Sure, it destroyed a few dining tables but nothing that can't be fixed.

The doors opened. (I forgot what term I'd like to use, so let's just call them "doors") Teenagers and some kids came out. A fit boy came out wearing glasses like Cyclops from X-Men…

Drake. Arrogant, powerful and a major show-off. He considers me to be his rival because he wants my position as Chaos' Commander. His chin had a terrible scar from one of his battles with a Spectral Dragon. He's about as powerful as Stephen but their way of thinking often decides who is stronger.

Next was Jade. Her trademark green hair flew in all directions from the wind. Her expression was cruel and strict. She was also a demigod, the daughter of Kratos, the god of power and sovereign rule, which is kind of bad because she also wants revenge. She had a not so long but pointy nose. But don't judge her yet as being like Clarisse. She's actually beautiful when she smiles.

Reality hit me a few seconds later. This is bad. Why did Chaos send me this Squad? He should know that these guys hate me.

You see, out of the four squads of the Chaos Warrioirs, I control 3 of them. The remaining branch became an outcast because it's leader, Drake hated me. He pleaded for Chaos to gather all the warriors who are either jealous or angry of me in one squad. Chaos saw it fit so that there would be no betrayal in any of the Squads. So basically, the Warriors were divided in two. If something bad happens and we aren't ready, bad things may happen.

The Campers drew their weapons, which were only knives and shields because weapons are not allowed at the pavilion. The Head Counselors told them to back down, but some wouldn't listen.

"They crushed our tables!" A child of Demeter said. "I didn't get to eat my cereal."

"My coffee spilled," a child of Hermes said. "Precious caffeine… gone!"

"My pudding is gone! Wait, I don't actually care. Wake me up once this is over," Hypnos' cabin said.

Drake raised his fist and a powerful gust of wind came out, throwing some campers off their feet.

"We come in peace!" Drake said. The campers didn't react.

"Okay, maybe not since we're here to battle monsters that could kill us, but hey, we're all friends," Drake gave them a thumbs up.

"Now that's just corny…," Lacy, one of the Aphrodite campers said. I've gotta admit, she was right.

Drake' eyes flashed murderously. Before he could pull the Aphrodite's hair out, Jade stopped him, which isn't exactly a good thing.

"Don't' mess with her Drake. She's not worth your time. Let me handle it," Jade said as she eyed Lacy.

Drew and some Aphrodite boys stood in front of Lacy.

"We won't let you hurt our sister," Drew said. She tried to be brave, but I guess Jade heard the hesitation in her voice because Jade smiled and licked her lips as if tasting their blood.

"We'll see about that," Jade said. She drew her javelin and lunged at Lacy. I decided to make my presence known and attack but Stephen beat me to it. He clashed with Jade in midair and shoved her hard sending her flying towards the ship. Some Warriors caught Sapphire and held her back, which was an amazing feat may I add, from fighting back.

"Ah, Vice Commander Stephen," Drake said. "I didn't know you hit ladies."

"I don't," Stephen answered back coolly. "So consider yourself lucky."

"I suggest we settle this peacefully," Drake laughed.

I stepped out of my observation (hiding) spot. "Why? Know you're gonna lose?" I taunted.

"Commander Alpha, It's been far too long since we saw each other, it's good to see such a fine person again."

"Maybe because you try to blow each other up when you meet," Sapphire interrupted.

"Maybe," Drake shrugged. "But I guess you wouldn't want to stir up a scene in front of these campers? But we could also, oh I don't know, blow up the camp, accidentally, if things go out of hand, no?

"You big nosed bastard!" Travis Stoll got up from his seat carrying his knife and charged at Drake.

"No! Stop!" I said, but it was too late.

Drake just smiled and easily disarmed Travis without any weapon and then hit his stomach causing him to crumple in pain. He draw his sword and got prepared to stab Travis.

"No, Travis!" Katie shouted.

Chiron and Thalia were at the edge of their seats, if only they brought weapons.

"Let this be a reminder of what happens when one of you go against us." Drake mercilessly said.

A loud screeching sound was heard across Half-Blood Hill. The sound of a thunderstorm. Lightning flashed. Several hit the ground and blasted Drake just in time before he could bring down his sword.

"For Rome! Senatus Populesque Romanus!" An old friend shouted clearly. Jason Grace, I'd recognize that voice anywhere.

Hundreds and thousands of Romans marched towards the dining pavilion. Each of them were equipped with roman battle armor and carrying swords, spears, bows, javelins and hammers. They wore their traditional purple shirt. Piper and Leo were leading the march with Reyna flying high with Scipio.

The Warriors were shocked, which gave the Greeks a chance to attack them, or at least tackle them and hold them on the ground until the military powered Romns came.

Jason suddenly descended from the sky above us. I didn't even see him earlier. His hair had gotten a little longer and was wielding an enchanted gladius complete with Roman armor.

He engaged Drake in swordfight. Leo set the archer's arrows on fire and then it rained flame. A giant elephant came and started rampaging around camp. Neither side was winning. This is war.

Bad, bad, bad. This isn't what I wanted. Sure, the warriors were unfair but we were her to unite and forget our grudge at both camps. I needed to do something.

I gathered energy and clenched my fist. Then I smashed the air around me, sending a rippling shockwave strong enough to silence the Warriors and Campers.

"Stop," I said, using my serious voice. "Warriors and Campers, stop the meaningless fighting!"

"Why? Who are you? Aren't you one of them?" The Hermes cabin shouted, which seemed to be the angriest because of what happened to Travis. Well, at least I got their attention.

"Yes we are with them, but we aren't actually with them?" I said. Even I was confused. "Anyways, we were sent here by Chaos to unite us all, to stop Gaea again and save the world. We need to all work together. If we don't, the world ends. The gods agreed with our purpose and wanted us to be friends. War is a bad thing. There is no winner, so please stop it all."

"Why? Who are you and what do you know about war?" Chiron said. Even he was doubting me now.

"Wait! Wait until I get there," it was Annabeth's voice. She was being carried by a suffering Will.

"That guy, the one with the sea green hood," she pointed at me. "That's my… That's our Percy."
