Chapter 8: Introductions

Hey sorry I need to tell you that the majority of the character encounters will be one time things, so it will be unlikely that you will see all of them again. Sorry, this is just in case you were like expecting a huge thing about every character.


Disclaimer: I own nothing (as per usual)

WARNINGS (again I KNOW, its boring but oh well): If you hadn't already guessed- slash relationships, swearing, death, torture, fighting, sexual references, depression, weapons (like seriously, loads of weapons and deadly sharp stuff like that), spoilers...etc...just the general things that you would find in a T rated fanfic.


GUARDIAN –

Guardian sighed and looked around the expectant crowds of demigods. Zeus stepped forward and sneered at her.

"You didn't answer the question, who are you?"

His sneer melted off his face as she turned at looked critically at him. Her posture stayed exactly the same but her eyes started to glow. Not the soft white that had surrounded her as she flew from the heavens, but a harsh, bright light that seemed to cut through the shadows around her face and tear into Zeus's mind.

"And you obviously did not listen to what my friend said about enigmatic people falling from the sky, god" she smirked at the reaction she got.

"Now, whilst my friends are not the best at explanations, it would be helpful if you listened to what they said. We have been sent on orders from Chaos, the creator of the universe and father of the Primordial Gods, to aid you in an upcoming battle."

As she stood tall, delivering her message, she almost did seem like an angel sent from God to spread his word. Her wings had retracted but her power still radiated off her, giving her a silvery outline. Her posture had softened slightly, not seeming as offended at the other Gods or demigods.

"Cyclone spoke the truth when he said you hadn't a hope of winning this war without us. If you could not handle that tiny army without The Fallen's help, then I doubt you could do the whole thing by yourself."

"What about you? You didn't fight!" exclaimed a random demigod.

The shadows wrapped around Guardian's face shifted slightly and her mouth became visible, it was twisted into a hard line.

"You doubt my power?"

She twitched her hand up and then in a circular motion, suddenly the handles of the weapons of every demigod burned and they were forced to drop their weapons, even Leo. They all stood, disarmed, gaping at the power this being possessed.

She grinned "Blessing from Hemera… there was a time when I could never imagine myself fighting. I have always been a healer. But then I joined the Legion of Chaos. That was 8000 years ago. My time in the Legion taught me that even a healer needs power and skills to survive. Every single soldier in the Legion of Chaos has enough skill to defeat all of your Olympian Gods. You should be very glad that Chaos deemed it necessary for this planet to exist, else we wouldn't be here helping you. You should also be extremely glad that Chaos has given us orders of 'no maiming, killing or force fading'."

She looked Annabeth in the eye despite the fact Annabeth could not actually see her eyes. The immortals gulped, none of them had ever heard of force fading before but with these people so powerful, it didn't seem like it would be too hard for them to 'force them to fade'.

"I have worked with Cyclone, Reaper and Gladiator for about 3800 years now, and I have never, ever, seen them glare at someone like that. Judging by that glare, if they didn't have those orders, any of them could, and would have killed you without lifting a finger."

Everyone made an urgent mental note to respect these people.

Athena slowly nodded, comprehending this completely new information. "So they demand respect, yes?"

Guardian tilted her head, thinking about the question. "No, actually they don't. Now that I think about them, they've never acted like that before. I do not know the stories behind the cloaks but I think they harbor a grudge against the first galaxy in general. I think maybe their original planet was in this galaxy."

Athena blinked, confused. "Why would they hate their original planet?"

Guardian sighed. She herself wasn't too sure. "I do not personally know why, but remember, the personal assassins of Chaos are not called The Fallen for nothing. Supposedly they were abandoned on their home planet. In the Legion of Chaos you start a new life and your old identity is kept secret. But Cyclone, Gladiator and Reaper are part of the best warrior squad in the whole of the universe and are some of the most prominent figures of the army. There are so many rumours about them, most of them explain that they are called 'The Fallen', because in their old life, they worked their way up the ranks and each reached an extraordinary positions but then were betrayed by their friends and pushed to one side, despite their amazing feats."

Guardian partially spoke the truth, she knew most of the tales of Percy Jackson, Jason Grace and Nico di Angelo, but not the tale behind their assassin name or why they left their old life.

"If these rumours are true, then it's hardly a surprise that they wouldn't want to go back to the place they had bad memories from. But Cyclone and Gladiator are like the unofficial leaders of the Legion of Chaos so they do ask for some respect, but they are never usually demanding, like you saw."

Artemis talked next. "You spoke of a threat?"

"Ah yes. One of your ancient deities is rising, but is gathering a strong army from other planets as well. You have no knowledge of them so it is necessary that Chaos send part of the Legion, as he is quite fond of this planet. We, as in the Alpha Force, will be staying with a group of mortal heroes, but for a few days, the commanders of the divisions helping you, will be staying here at Camp Half-Blood."

She clapped her hands, two people in very pale blue cloaks, with the Greek letter omicron; two people in black cloaks, with the Greek letter omega; two people in red cloaks, with the Greek letter Delta; and two people in dark blue cloaks, with the Greek letter ksi, appeared. One of each of the pairs had an L on their cloak, and the other had a C.

"These are the leaders of the divisions that will be staying with you until the rest of the army is transported."

Guardian then turned to address the newly arrived people "You will stay here in your ship until Genius, Mastermind and Cyclone come in two days time, to build the Chaos cabin. Then the army will arrive to stay in the cabin. A week after that, we shall introduce you to the mortal team that us Alphas are staying at. Am I clear?"

They all nodded, except the one in the black cloak with a C and an omega on it, who mock-stood to attention and shouted "Sir yes sir!"

Guardian raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "And remember Chaos' orders of 'no killing, maiming or force-fading'. However annoying they are, sadly, they might be useful. Also Chaos allowed you to reveal your identities if you want to, but Commander Omega…"

"Yes?" said Commander Omega innocently.

She wagged her finger at him. "Behave yourself! I don't think that they would appreciate any mental scarring for life."

"Aw, but Chaos didn't say anything about having se-" protested Commander Omega.

"Well I am, so obey my orders. Now, I must go, have fun and remember your orders."

Her outline began to glow silvery white once more, there was a flash as her body was engulfed in the light, and she vanished.

The demigods and Gods gulped as they realized that these eight powerful people would be staying with them for two days without the people who seemed like their supervisors. Guardian's voice re-rang through their heads,

'Every soldier in the Legion of Chaos has enough skill to defeat all your Olympian Gods.'.

and these guys were like the leaders, but below the Alphas, which Guardian was part of. They needed to be very careful around these slightly more immature but formidable beings.

Commander Omega appeared to be their ringleader. He surveyed the masses of people and grinned. "Now, I don't believe we were properly introduced. I am Commander Omega, the leader of the Omega Division of awesomeness, but in my previous life, I was known as…"

He reached back and yanked back his black hood to reveal a black haired boy with dark green eyes. "Theseus, Son of Poseidon."

Poseidon looked in disbelief at his boy that he thought had been in the Underworld for several thousand years. Hades looked horrified,

"If you're here, then does that mean…"

Lieutenant Omega stepped forward. "Yes it does. I am Lieutenant Omega, second-in-command of Division Omega, though I should be commander. In my previous life I was known as…"

Pulling back his hood showed a brunet also with green eyes. "Pirithous, Son of Zeus. Miss us, uncle Hades?"

Hades looked genuinely terrified, which was quite funny actually.

"Yeah, your defences in the Underworld are shit. We, like were only in 'eternal torment' two days before Chaos took us into the Legion" remarked Theseus.

"Mmh, how's Persephone doing?" asked Pirithous with a wicked smile.

"You leave her alo-" glared Hades.

"Wait, Theseus was supposed to be in eternal torment?" interrupted Poseidon angrily.

"Oh yeah, sorry dad we never told you." shrugged Theseus.

"We kinda slept with Persephone and the Hades got pissed, so yeah…" summed up Pirithous.

"Leave us out why not?" said the Commander in the red cloak, with a Delta on it.

He stepped forward and lowered his hood to show a sandy blonde haired guy. "I'm Commander Delta, leader of Division Delta, once known as… Achilles."

The other guy in a red cloak stepped next to him. "I'm Lieutenant Delta, second-in-command of the Delta Division, once known as Orion, Son of Poseidon."

Artemis made a strange sound halfway between a gasp and a squeak as she looked at her former lover. Hermes looked confused.

"So, what's the deal with this, are all the leaders dead, Greek heroes?"

"Not all, but quite a lot of them. Man, Perseus and Jason were so pissed that Beta and Zeta didn't get picked to come back to earth."

The demigods looked in wonder at the living legends that they were taught about in Chiron's classes.

Commander Omicron stepped forward. "I am Commander Omicron, leader of the best division, Division Omicron. And there is no way that any of you will have any idea who I was in my previous life, but I may as well tell you. I am Zach Goode."

He had dark brown hair and matching brown eyes.

Lieutenant Omicron stepped elegantly forward. "I am Lieutenant Omicron, blah, blah, blah… and none of you know me but I'm Gabrielle Bishop."

Her hood lowered to reveal a very attractive, tall, brunette with perfect hair and a perfect face. Her blue eyes surveyed the drooling boys like she was used to it.

"I am Commander Ksi, leader or the Ksi Division, you don't know me but I was King Arthur of Camelot." The man in the dark blue hood was tall and blonde.

"And lastly, I am Lieutenant Ksi, second-in-command of Division Ksi, once known as Zoë Nightshade."

Her long black, curly hair cascaded over her dark blue cloak. She smiled at Artemis.

"I couldn't decline the opportunity to come back m'lady"

Artemis beamed at the sight of her long-time lieutenant.

"I couldn't wait to come back either, I've heard so much about my baby bro." grinned Theseus.

"Me too!" agreed Orion.

"Who?" asked Thalia.

"Percy Jackson of course! Where is he anyway?"
