-Capture the Flag!-

All demigods were gathered in the arena, armor ready, swords and sharp knives and shields came from both sides, Greeks in blue helmets and Romans in red.

-Heroes! You already know the rules, the flag must be in sight, no deaths, you can not use any type of creature and you must leave the enemy´s territory with the flag to count the victory.- explained Chiron while the teams were grouped.

We reduced our team to 50 members to be fair to the Romans but we had to the best of each cabin, a mixture of Athena, Hermes, Ares, Poseidon, Apollo, Hephaestus, Demeter and some Aphrodite boys.

The Romans could be better in war and discipline but come on, this is our territory.

"Well," said Annabeth, who was immediately given the command. "We know they used some kind of structure to distract us and maybe Hazel will use a tunnel to surprise us."

-Don't forget Jason.

-So what will we do?-

-We have the advantage in our favor, this is our territory and our game.- Her words filled everyone with courage, Malcom was right, everyone would follow her without hesitation.

-And we have THE FACTOR LEO-.

-Close that mouth Valdez.- Clarisse's eyes gleamed, it was clear that she was not going to let anyone, much less the Romans beat us at our own game.

After 10 minutes we had the best plan of all, those of Apollo's cabin were in the treetops with their bows ready to end any air attack (Jason), those of Demeter made a kind of knot underground with the roots of the trees to avoid underground attacks (Hazel), the others would defend the flag while a small group (Annabeth, Piper, Malcom, Clarisse, the Stoll and I) would look for the Roman flag. Leo built a kind of tower for the flag, full of traps in case they tried to climb it and controlled everything from the base of it, so we had everything covered.

"Ready?" My girlfriend asked under her owl helmet, lifting her knife encouraging our team.

-Ready! -

-Let the game begin!-Chiron yelled as he blew the horn that marked the beginning of the game.

-Attack!-

The Romans were somewhat scattered but they had a plan, as Annabeth said they put together a circular fortress around the flag, it would not be easy to get it. Jason was in the air trying to get to our tower but the sons of Apollo were very good archers so he chose to direct his air blasts towards us.

"Percy now!" Malcom shouted as we parted halfway.

The best part of the plan was undoubtedly mine, with all my strength I called the waters of the lake to form a huge wave to wipe out the opponent's defense, the only thing I did not have in mind was to knock Jason down the road.

Immediately they reorganized and continued the melee attack, Clarisse seemed to be fighting with rag dolls, nobody could beat her. The Stoll (who were still green) had water pistols filled with a kind of purple slime and as soon as it touched a Roman it wrapped itself around them as if it were in a jelly, which was very funny, they looked like demonic goblins.

I lost sight of Annabeth as soon as Frank came to fight with me.

-You have improved-.

-You too, Percy- you could only hear the sound of metal clashing, bronze against gold, Greek against Roman. It was one of the best fights I had.

Annabeth's plan was to get the Romans away from her fortress with the wave so that we could get closer, Clarisse and the Stolls had to open the way for Annabeth, Piper and Malcom to reach the base.

Malcolm and Piper would help Annabeth to reach the center of the fortress and wearing her invisibility cap would take the flag, with the help of Leo and one of his inventions she would fly out of there. And yes, I really mean flying.

I caught sight of Malcom fighting Nico and Piper with a couple of legionnaires, to be a daughter of Aphrodite Piper was fighting very well.

Frank cut me in the arm and for a second I thought he would beat me but we heard a familiar scream, Hazel, she ran into the roots underground and she shot out to fall on the Stoll. That distraction allowed me to take down Frank and run back to our tower.

The boys of Ares had some problems to contain the Romans who had almost reached the tower.

"Annabeth must hurry," said Chris, knocking down a Roman and looking toward the enemy's side.

-Don't worry she will do it-. And it did not take me long to be right because we heard Clarisse's delicate and threatening voice.

-YES! VICTORY IS OURS!-

I turned just in time to see Annabeth power Leo's device and fly out of the Roman fort with the red flag in her hand. Jason tried to intercept her path and managed to catch her mid-flight.

They fell right out of the Roman line, the cries of victory of the Greeks accompanied them as they fell, when I approached I could not help but get jealous. Jason was on top of Annabeth, too close for my liking, she was trying to get up but they were entangled with the flag.

"Victory for Camp Halfblood!" Announced Chiron as I ran up to them.

Just before we arrived they managed to untangle the flag and Jason helped Annabeth up, while she did a red flash went by her and immediately grabbed her neck.

-Aahh!

-What was ...? -.

-Annabeth?- She raised her head and her storm gray eyes changed color to give an intense pink.

-Jason- she said before fainting.

-Aaahh!- Hazel also screamed, as did Leo, Katie, Will, Nico and Clarisse, all holding their necks but only Annabeth fainted.

All demigods began to panic, they ran everywhere and in seconds it became a real chaos.

"There!" Piper yelled as she chased a hooded figure.

FLASHBACK

-Mother?-

-Dear, keep quiet, I need you for a small mission-

-What is it about?-

"Take this," said the goddess of love, handing her a red velvet covered box.

-Open it-

Aphrodite's daughter looked at her surprised mother, inside there was a small glass pistol and a clear box with some red darts.

-Your mission is to shoot these demigods- she said giving her a white envelope- But ONLY these, no one else or everything will be ruined-

-But why?-

-Because they want to show who is the proudest, but with me no one plays- she said with a tone of disdain.

-What?-.

-It doesn´t matter, you just do what I say, honey.

-Okay, mother.

-Nobody should know until everything happens, okay? -.

-Don't worry mother no one will know-. Said the girl with a malicious smile on her face observing the list of her "targets".

-Make me proud, Drew-
