Chapter 9

Family Feuds and Revelations

Omega's Pov

I intertwined my hand with Alphas. "Together" I whisper.

"Together." He agrees.

We zap ourselves to center stage in the fire pit. Everyone one else, including the gods and chaos himself, were already their. I looked around, forgetting I was still holding alpha's hand until Nightrise, who had walked up to us, nudged me slightly. I quickly dropped his hand, blushing slightly. Thank Chaos I was wearing my helmet.

"We ready to start?" I ask my commanders.

They nodded.

"Alright, so, figure out who's going first while I go introduce us." I said, turning to face the gods, who were conveniently in the best seats.

I cleared my throat, and raised my hand, silencing the entire stadium. Everyone was watching Me and Alpha, who stood besides me.

"Right, ok. Hi everyone." I start, making it up as I went. "Um, we'll, I'm sure you are wondering why we asked all of you to come here. Well, for those of you who haven't heard, I'm Omega-"

"And I'm Alpha."

"And we are the Assassins of Chaos, his Seconds in command, his most faithful sergeants." I said, shooting a glare at Alpha for interrupting me. "And this our punishment. We weren't supposed to make any sudden change of plans without alerting Chaos, and that fight we had earlier with Jason and Tristan counts as a change of plans. So, we are to reveal ourselves to you along with the 5 commanders of our Army. Here's the thing- we've never done this before. I have know idea who my commanders are nor do they have any idea who Alpha and I are. We decided that our commanders would reveal themselves before alpha and I did. Oh, and please refrain yourselves if you see somebody, we dont want to crowd the stage. After everyone has gone, you may come up and greet , without further ado, here they are; the official Commanders!"

I gestured for one of them to come forward. All five looked at there feet for a moment, avoiding eye contact.

"Aw, screw it." Said Strong, marching to take Alpha and Is spot at center stage.

He pressed a hidden button on his wrist that instantaneously compressed his entire suit of armor into a wristwatch. Their were gasps from some of the gods as well as the campers.

"My name is Charlie Beckondolf, Son of Hesphestus." He said.

Before he could even finish speaking, Aurora was sprinting at him, her armor retreating into her necklace.

"Charlie!" She shrieked, throwing herself on him and was full on kissing him.

Storm strood forward, her armor retreating into a ring on her left hand.

"Hi, um, I'm Zoe Nightshade, daughter of Atlas and former luetenint of Artimes. That girl was Selena Beauregard, Daughter of Aphrodite. She and Beckondolf have a thing." Before Zoe could blink I ran and hugged her.

"I missed you, Zo." I whisper in her ear.

Her eyes widened in shock as she recognizes me then, since I did travel with my mom's hunters for awhile. I pulled back and smiled. She led Beckondolf and Selena, still shocked they'd been side by side for so long and not knowing it.

Nightrise went next, walking forward timidly, her armor shrinking away into a bracelet . "Hi guys, my names Bianca DiAngelo, Dau-" she didn't even get the last words out before a very familiar boy tackled her in a hug.

"Bianca!" Shrieked Nico, sobbing tears of joy.

The scene was so cute none of us had the heart to pull Nico away. (And we were scared of what he'd do to us!)

The two of them moved to the side to talk more

Alphas POV

Scar was the last commander to go. He walked awkwardly up to the front. "Um, hi. I'm probably not going to get as well a reception." He pressed a button, and his armor faded into a ring on his right hand. "I'm Luke Castillion, Son of Hermes."

The entire crowd was silent, you could feel the tension in the air. I caught Omegas eyes, and she dipped her head slightly. I strod towards Luke, towards my old enemy.

"Hiya, Luke." I gave him a man hug before turning towards the audience. "I don't care what you've been told about Luke, but he was a true hero. If he wasn't, Chaos never would've let him join. He killed himself to destroy Kronos, his life's work." Silence.

Then, from behind me, the other commanders started cheering, and soon the entire crowd was roaring in a welcome.

"Thanks," mutter Luke to me quietly as we turned and started walking back towards our group.

"No problem, besides I kinda owed you. Big." I said.

I looked up at Omega, and she was beaming. You couldn't see her smile, but I'd lived with her long enough to read her body language.

She walked towards me. "You ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

Together we walked toward the middle of the stage. Once again, Omega raised her hand and silence fell upon the arena.

" I know how eager you all are. I mean, c'mon, we've been hidden for so many years its not funny. But again, I must stress, you are not aloud to tackle us or shower us with kisses, even if you really really want to. I'd probably blow your head off." Said Omega, naturally getting along with the crowd. Everyone laughed. Even Zeus cracked a small smile. "Now, when you've lived as long as we have, you tend to make enemy's. some of ours are here tonight. Just know: 4,500 years ago scientists on earth noticed the rather sudden absence of Two planets in our solar system from the sky. That was Alpha and I- accidental, of course. He wouldn't admit I was stronger then he was."

"I am too!" I said laughing.

"Am not! Anyway, we have more power in our pinkys the. There is among all of the Greek and roman gods, even the minor ones. "

She let that sink in for a moment, taking the time to mutter, "I'll go first."

She looked up at the audience and grabbed my hand, intertwining it with mine.

Omega's POV

I unconsciously grabbed Alpha's hand, intertwining it with mine.

I gently pressed the button on my wrist that folded my armor back into a bracelet, revealing the same outfit I had on earlier. I heard the audience gasp.

"Hi, my name's Rose Johnson, Daughter of Artimes, and the Second most powerful being in the universe, even more powerful then Alpha." I joked, knocking into him slightly.

Before I could say another word, I felt myself enfolded in a hug bear hug. " My baby, my precious, I've missed you!" Cried my mother, sobbing to my shoulder.

I lost it then, and for the first time in century's I started to cry.

"I missed you too mom." I pulled away, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Now you've gotta get back to your seat, we've got one more person to do."

She flashed back, and I scanned the crowd for anyone else. Gwen and Dakota looked overjoyed, and Jason, well, he was shocked.

"Bet you thought I was dead, didn't you, Grace?" I spat, looking him deep in the eyes. "We'll, news flash, for all of you: I remember EVERYTHING you ever did to me, and let me tell you, I hate every single one of you who ever wronged me. I don't forgive, and I verge my don't forget." I looked each one of my old enemies in the eyes before nudging Alpha slightly.

"You're turn," I whisper.

He looks at me through his helmet slits.

"I'm scared." He whispers back.

I grab his hand again. "I'm right besides you, til the bitter end."

Alpha nodded, and looked at the crowd. He glanced back at me one last time before pressing a button on his wrist, his armor folding into the watch I know so well.

The crowd erupted at the sight of him. He had to shout just to be heard. "My name is Percy Jackson, Ex son of Poseidon!"

Silence.

"WHAT!" Erupted Poseidon, fuming.

"You heard me. When I left all those years ago, I took a new name and a new father, Lord Chaos. I cut all my ties to this planet, this life. Last time I was here was when Iceland exploded." I giggled, remembering that argument. "And whatever Rose says that was not my fault!"

"PERCY YOU GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Posiden.

"I don't take orders from anyone but Chaos, and sometimes Rose 'cuz she scares me." Percy said, lightly nudging my shoulders.

I've known him long enough to be able to tell what he's thinking. Percy would never admit it, but he's trying not to break, not to give in to the anger that must be flowing through his brain.

I squeezed his hand lightly, letting him know I'm still here.

"WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY OF THAT! TRISTAN IS TWICE THE PERSON YOU WILL EVER BE!" Poseidon's words cut through the air like a knife.

I felt Percy tense up besides me. Before he could say something I know he'd regret, I stepped up, facing Poseidon directly.

"You're wrong." I said quietly, my words going far over the complete silence. "Percy has been, and always will be, ten times the man you or Tristan will EVER be, Posiden. I've seen him face entire army's, entire planets that deserved to be destroyed for the wrongs they've commuted, and not once has Percy ever tried to completely destroy them. He NEVER gets mad, and when he does, he doesn't take it out on people who have done nothing wrong. Just last week, Poseidon, you and Tristan sank Florida without a second glance. Over 5 million people, dead. All because someone has forgotten you don't eat seafood." I spat.

The entire crowd looked at me in shock.

"This concludes our presentation." I said, zapping Percy and I into our room on Chaos' planet.

A/N: How many of you saw that coming? (The commanders, I mean.) Thus is probably the longest chapter I've written so far, and well, I really like it. Yeah yeah, I know it's Cliche, but whatever. It's cute. Review and tell Me what you think! Also, unless you want me to go weeks without updating, you should participate in the poll I have on my profile! I'm trying to figure out when a good weekly post date is! Thanks in advance!
