A/N ~ DOUBLE DIGIT CHAPTER! I thought for this chapter i'll put some EPIC dueling, Gwen's awesomeness, Reyna's awesomeness.


Reyna

"Tell me again Gwendolyn why you want us to attend the duels at the Amphi-theater?" I ask. Gwen rolled her eyes, and said, "First of all, call me Gwen, NOT Gwendolyn! Second of all, I was thinking about entering, and so are you!" Before I could answer to that, Gwen already signed up our names. Well Reyna, you haven't battled with anyone in a while. I thought, trying to look at the bright side of things.

Once me and Gwen try to take a seat, I notice the Greeks and Romans were separated, and both were growling at each other. Immediately I react to this because us Romans should be more respectful than those Greeks.

"Romans! Keep your guard down! We are guests. I don't care about any personal problems of yours, if you must, act like you get along. Anyone thinking other-wise will go through me."

Being as the praetor of Roman demi-gods, and the Senator of the citizens of New Rome has it's perks. It goes along very well with my skill of battle, which intensifies any threats.

The Romans, listened as usual, but I could still hear scowls and growls. I let them slide for now, because I too have had bad encounters with one of those Greeks. Me and Gwen sit down, and watch as Dakota and I think Mitchell duel.

"C'mon Dakota!" I hear some of the Romans cheer, including Gwen. It appears that the cheer gained his enthusiasm, and he did a round-house kick, with a matching slash to the arm. Remember that time I asked how Dakota, Bobby, and Gwen were Romans? Well, this is the reason why.

Mitchell came falling to the ground, and he seemed limp. Dionysus came to the two demi-gods, and grabbed one of each's arms.

"The winner is...Dakota!" Dionysus raised Dakota's arm while he drank a juice pouch of Kool-Aid.

The Romans cheered while the next duelers stepped up. Dakota was granted with pats on the back, tons of compliments, and many "Go Dakota!"-s. Along with Bobby, Dakota sat next to us.

"That'll teach the Greek to NEVER mess with me or any other Roman." Dakota said. Gwen had an impressed expression on her face, and so did I.

The four of us watched duel after duel, until Gwen was called. "C'mon Gwen kick some Greek butt!" Bobby cheered. I clapped, for Gwen along with lots of woos.

We heard Dionysus' voice in the speakers, and he said, "Now for this round, we have a battle, of Gwendolyn vs. Drew Tanaka!" gasps came from both Romans and Greeks. The lunch incident was just a few hours ago, so many people will be on the edge of their seats on this duel.

"Oh this is gonna be fun." Gwen said. A few seconds later, Gwen and Drew stepped down from their seats and into the arena.

Gwen unsheathed her Imperial gold, duel swords, as Drew held a strong grip on her Celestial Bronze sword.

"Why'd you leave so early before, I was about to poison your tea." Gwen said, while she did a 360, and slashed a big 'X' on her armor.

"I decided to face you in battle instead." Drew replied, as she held her sword with both hands and made a vertical cut on Gwen's sleeve.

"Ahh, so you've changed your mind. Any chance this one works any better?" The one of the duel swords made a cut on one hand while the other one followed to the other hand.

Drew winced as blood slowly dripped from her hand. When she finally got over the pain, Gwen gave her a kick to the chest, which made her fall to the ground. Sadly, Drew got back up.

"I actually have a poem for you..." Drew swung her sword to Gwen's head but she ducked.

"Roses are red, violets are blue." Drew then, collided her sword to Gwen's arm which made a decent cut.

"The Gods made me pretty." Drew finally kicked Gwen's legs which made Gwen lose balance and fall.

"What the heck happened to you?"

Drew faced the crowd, as only the Greeks cheered, but then gasps came when Gwen tackled Drew from behind. Gwen was now on top Drew, and her one of her swords was resting on her neck.

"I actually have a poem for you too. Roses are red, violets are blue, I have 5 fingers, and the middle one is for you." Gwen replied with a smirk. With that, the Romans than cheered, as Dionysus declared that Gwen was the winner.

Gwen proudly and arrogantly walked her way up back to her seat, while me, Dakota, and Bobby were complimenting her come-backs and attacks.

"You're next Rey." Gwen said. I nod, as Dionysus implies the next battle.

"Up next for this battle would be Reyna vs..."

When I heard who I was battling, my eyes became as wide as ever.

Just had to be them. It just had to be.


A/N ~Sorry about the short chap, it's just I needed a cliffhanger :/ You are mad at me. I can tell. But the cliffhanger, will be answered by your choice. You could pick Jason, or Piper. I had great ideas for both battles, but I just can't decide, so I am letting you readers decide! Vote Piper, or Jason in your reviews and hope you enjoyed the chapter,

Before I go I'll just have to announce a few things :

1. I am currently working on a new PJO story, and it's about Luke and OC character Lucy Castellan, so when it's published it'll be called "The Vanished Sister"

2. I also am currently working on a roleplay forum for roman demi-gods.
