A/N: My apologies for the wait and the short update. Now before you start reading, I want to know how many more of you readers have to deal with shitty schools and teachers. Because I'm in one of those schools where its supposed to be good but its actually the students who work their asses off while dealing with shitty teachers. Honestly I've gone even deeper into depression over life and its been hard to feel inspired. I'll try to make chapter 8 longer.
Chapter 7:
. The Sniper and Spy sat at an outdoors cafe drinking coffee.
"They still followin us?" Sniper asked.
"Oui," Spy casually responded ", Truly their attempts of stealth is pathetic. I hav already breached zheir camp 7 times already."
. Sniper grumbled. "Bloody sheilas gettin their skills from a blessin. No practice just magic."
"You aren't az skillful as you think bushman," Spy taunted while taking out another cigarette.
"Oi! Piss off big head!" Sniper said as he took a sip of coffee.
At the Hunter hiding spot...
. The hunters crouched in the bushes holding binoculars.
"Thalia, how much longer do we have to keep on following them?" Naomi asked
"I don't know," Thalia said ", They act casual yet are somehow keeping all chances to subdue them unavailable."
"This is stupid!" A hunter said ", These men are just like the rest yet we can't even capture them for quetioning!"
"Relax," Thalia said ", On the bright side, monsters seem to be attracted to them making our job easier."
"Its not like I can't just track them down anyways," Pheobe complained.
. The Hunters of Artemis have been following the two mercenaries for days hoping to get their revenge on them. Unfortunately they just couldn't seem to find any openings. Unknowing to them, Spy had been secretly breaking into camp gathering information.
. Back with Sniper and Spy, the two mercenaries have finished their drinks and went on the move again.
"So yah know where the Soldier is?" Sniper said
"ze earpiecez are still off," Spy said
"Bloody hell," The Sniper said ", earpiece is also still off." He said as he kept pressing on the button.
"You zhink we should finish zhem off?" Spy asked motioning towards the Hunters
" Yup. They've had their chance to leave," Sniper said as they walked into an alley way.
. The two mercenaries stopped in the middle of the place behind the buildings waiting for the Hunters to show up.
. Five seconds passed and an arrow flew out of nowhere heading straight for Spy. He caught it with his hand. He looked at the tip.
"Traqualizer fluidz...," Spy said ", would've worked on any regular individual. Only zhat vhe are not regular."
. Spy and Sniper watched as the Hunters surrounded them arrows notched.
"We have you surrounded!" Pheobe yelled "Knock em out!"
. The hunters fired of volleys of arrows at the mercs. Spy simply vanished from existence while Sniper somehow dove underneath the attack missing by an inch. He whipped out his sniper rifle and fired. The bullet split two arrows in half and hit a Hunter in chest.
. The Hunters were too shocked as the Spy uncloaked and shoved a knife into a Hunter's back. The Hunters turned their bows on him and fired.
"Ladies, I do believe zhis is my time to leave," He said as he dissapeared into the air giving Sniper time to run into an alley way. Thalia and seven other hunters followed after him as the rest stayed back to tend to wounds.
. Thalia quickly snapped her fingers so that the mist would conceal their existence from the mortals.
"How did he do that!? We had them surrounded!"
"I don't know but now we must focus on following him!"
. As they turned the corner, they were met with a barrage of bullets. The Hunters fell back to the wall but Thalia was hit in the leg by a bullet.
"AAAAAAARGH!"
"Thalia you alright!?"
"I'm fine! Don't let him escape!"
. The Hunters waited until the SMG used up all it's magazine ammo. They turned the corner and fired their arrows. They cheered as three hit Sniper the the abdomen and two others in his left arm causing him to drop the gun.
"Gaaaah..." Sniper said
. What happened next sent chills down the Hunters' spines. He chuckled. Sniper grabbed the arrows and pulled them out one by one. He was bleeding out but his wounds slowly healed (Not nearly as fast as Medic's regenerative factor).
"Hmmm. Guess it was good to have Medic and his crazy experiments," Sniper said as he took out the Huntsman. The Hunters fired another round of arrows but Sniper fired his own. His arrows however streaked red and flew faster. It somehow knocked all opposing arrows out of the air as it took down another Hunter to the chest narrowly missing the heart.
. The Hunters retreated behind the wall as more arrows were fired. What they didn't see was Spy uncloaking behind them. He grabbed Thalia and held a knife to her neck and took out his revolver and shot Pheobe in the shoulder.
"I do believe zhat you shoull surrenzder if you value you commander'z life," Spy said casually.
"Let her go!"
. Another Hunter snuck up behind Spy only for Spy to turn around still holding Thalia and knocking her out with a high kick to the head.
"You really zhink zhat waz going to work on me?" Spy asked offended ", Now drop your weapons."
. The Hunters all dropped their weapons as Sniper turned the corner with his Cleaners Carbine aimed at them.
"Now, tell me why I shoulzen't kill your friend here and zhe rezt of you? After all, you ave been spying on uz for many dayz."
. The Hunters stayed still giving death glares. Thalia on the other hand was panicking.
"Heh, yah wankahs rely on a goddess'es blessin fer aim eh?" Sniper taunted ", Well Ai use the blessin of years of practice an danger!"
"So, no reazon?"Spy asked ", very well, let uz dispose of them bushman."
. As Sniper was about to pull the trigger, Thalia noticed a symbol on the side of Sniper's arms.
"The Soldier," She croaked as the knife started to dig into her skin.
"Vhat did you say?" Spy asked as he halted the balisong. Blood dripped from the wound and the knife.
"I said Soldier!" Thalia yelled gasping for breath.
"Tell...us...EVERYTHING!" Spy threatened.
. Thalia continued to spill ALL and whatever information they had on the madman in the helmet who was found in Camp half-blood.
"...you should find him in the east," Thalia began.
"No need mon cherie," Spy said ", let us make our leave bushman."
"Right on spook,"Sniper said as Spy cloaked an Thalia fell to the ground clutching her bleeding neck. They turned around and Sniper was also gone.
"Are you alright Thalia?"
"I'm fine its just a small cut," She responded ", treat to the wounded first!"
. As the Hunters left to get more help Thalia and Pheobe sat next to each other against the wall. The Hunters had been able to get Pheobes leg to stop bleeding but had to tend to the more seriously wounded.
"Well that was intensifying," Pheobe said ", What should we do?"
"Apparantely nothing for now," Thalia said ", All we can do now is just prepare for the upcoming war."
"... and thats why I'm imprisoned on this island forever," Calypso explained.
"Well I can't blame you," Medic said ", you remind me a lot of my own daughter. Alwayz tried to be juzt like me until she realized the 'horrors' that I did."
. Medic and Calypso were sitting at a table on the beach drinking tea while Pyro ran around chasing butterflys.
"What happened to her?" Calypso asked.
. Medic laughed ", Why she died Fräulein. But zhat iz ztory for anozher time."
"But either way, zhis island is quite nice," Medic said ", If zhe gods just send some handzome man for you to take care ov, don't. Juzt kill him or better yet, steal hiz skeleton!"
. Calypso cringed and put down her coffee.
"I'd never thought I'd hear that from a doctor..."
"Well niezer have I!" Medic exclaimed.
"..."
"Well itz been nice talking to you," Medic said as he got up ", Now do you have a boat where I can get back to the mainlands?"
"There IS a magical raft that will take you were you want to go but..."
"I won't be able to return?" Medic inquired.
"How'd you..." Calypso began only for Medic to laugh. At that moment Pyro walked up to him with butterflies in his hands that have been burnt to a crisp.
"Hurruh nuh hurrah," The Pyro mumbled. Calypso smiled. She could sense the pure chaos and fire in the...thing's... head but she also sensed innocence and childish happiness.
"Vell it vas nice to stay here while it lastzted. Not many people enjoy our prezence," Medic said.
"Well when you're alone for thousands of years you don't complain." Calypso said.
"Well zhen, I muzt give you a parting gift," Medic said as he handed her something from behind his back."
"A big knife?" Calypso asked.
"Nein! A bone saw!" Medic exclaimed ", Remember what I zaid about heroes!"
. Calypso politely accepted it promising never to use it. As they walked down to the ocean Pyro started shivering.
"Oh don't be such a baby!" Medic complained.
. The raft came to shore as the two mercs stepped on. As they floated of into the distance, Calypso looked at the bonesaw in her hand. She used her finger to feel the sharpness but immediately yelped as the x10 razor sharp blade cut her finger. She carefully set it down on the table while looking at her bleeding hand.
"hehehehehehehahahAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Medic laughed for no reason. As Pyro was hugging himself in fear. This was going to be a long ride.
. Somewhere in the state of New York, Demoman walked through the city drinking alcohol. Of course this was regular for the Demoman. As he walked towards the beached he paused.
"Grrrrr..."
Demoman heard the growl and turned around. He dove out of the way as a hell hound pounced at him. Demoman unsheated Eyelander and chopped the hellhounds head off. His eye burst into flames as he turned around coming face to face with an entire horde of hell hounds.
"Bloody hell...," Demoman said as the oversized dogs ran towards him.
"haaaaAAAAAAAAAAH!" Demoman yelled as he charged into the fray.
To Be Continued...
A/N: Goodbye now, I need to go cry myself to sleep now.
