Chaos' Six
Chapter 13
"Please Calie, give me a chance." I pleaded with her. "I can change. I swear that if you give me a chance I'll change."
"You're lucky I still love you" she mumbled softly before pushing me up against the wall kissing me. I was in ecstasy, even when the wall of the box disappeared and we tumble onto the floor, still interlocked. Then a voice came from the door.
"Busted!"

Bianca POV:
We had finished eating, and were just sitting around just talking when we started to get worried. From what we knew about Calypso, she'd kick Kenneth's ass if he stepped out of line. So obviously we elected to send someone, but the problem was that nobody wanted to have to potentially deal with a pissed off Calypso. Somehow after multiple games of rock paper scissors and enie-meanie I ended up having to go.
When I walked into the den I was treated to an unexpected sight. Kenneth was bracing himself over Calypso, and they were making out!
"Busted!" I shouted. The reaction to that was amazing because Kenneth jumped off of her so fast you'd think he'd gotten electrocuted.
"So, how long has this been going on?" I asked.
"About 10 seconds." Replied Kenneth. Then the others came in; probably because they heard me shout, and they took in the situation. Luke immediately looked between them, taking in their flushed faces, wet lips and Calypso's mussed up hair, and wolf whistled.
"Finally, Kenneth." said Luke extending his hand to Percy. Percy reluctantly handed him 3 drachmas.
"Never make a bet with a Hermes kid" said Luke happily.
"Jokes on you Luke, drachmas are only good on Earth." Said Calypso finding her voice again. Luke's face fell which made the rest of us crack up.
"C'mon, you guys are probably hungry." Said Bianca leading us out of the den.

Percy POV:
Over the next few months we all trained intensely. Usually we would have our specialized training in the mornings and our group training in the afternoons, leaving our evenings to ourselves to do what we want. In the evenings we usually don't go up to our rooms until we are actually going to bed. Usually we would be in The Matrix.
The Matrix is the den, but Kenneth renamed it saying that 'den' is too boring. After we all agreed to changing the name he spray painted the name The Matrix onto the wall in an alcove of the room. Yeah, the girls weren't too happy with him after that. However, Calypso enchanted the graffiti so that it would act as a transportation device. She then came to all of our rooms and put a replica of the graffiti on the wall somewhere. We got to choose where it was, and what size it was so it was convenient. By touching the graffiti with our index finger we would be transported to The Matrix seamlessly.
It was pretty convenient because we didn't need to wait for the elevator that the six of us shared to get downstairs. So this morning I got up as usual and went down to The Matrix. After coming back from my run I found everyone at breakfast. We ate together before going off to our individual training. A lot of the individual training was training our powers and abilities. You see, a few days after our arrival, we were asked to meet Chaos.
Flashback:
We all went to her office, from which she teleported us somewhere else.
We were in a large room with an oval shaped table in the middle; the type you see in board meetings.
"Today you will be meeting the primordials." Said Chaos "I'm not sure if all of you know, but Percy can't use his water powers anymore."
"Why?" asked Zoe "And why didn't you tell us.?"
"I didn't think it was important. My da- Poseidon disowned me."
"What!" shouted Bianca
"Got into a fight with his favourite son."
Then the primordials flashed in.
They were sitting in the chairs around the table and the end of the table; where we were standing, was empty. In total there were six of them there. Sitting left to right was Gaea, Pontus, Ourea, Ananke, Erebus and Tartarus.
"Before you say anything to me you must understand that every few millennia one or more of the primordials lose their minds for a bit." Started off Gaea. "Both times on Earth it was me, and so because of that you might think of me as an evil person; I'm sorry."
"Anyways, hopefully we have your trust because today is a special day for all of you." Said Ananke. "Most of you will get blessed by us today so that you can reach your maximum potential."
"I would like to start please." Said Tartarus. "Luke, if you would accept me, I would like to make you my champion. You will have some control over the creatures that are born in the Pit, you can use hellfire, and use the waters of the five rivers that flow through me. Those are some of your powers, and you may discover others as you grow."
"Okay, I'll be your champion." Replied Luke.
Tartarus let out the breath he had been holding.
"Thank you. This will be new to me as I have never had a champion before. You will train with me in the mornings."
"Okay."
"Next is me." Said Ananke "Calypso, I know that at first my powers may not be very useful, but added to your already powerful magical abilities the powers of compulsion can be very powerful. Hopefully you will accept my blessing."
"Yes, I will." Said Calypso, to which a dark purple aura surrounded her for a moment.
"Bianca, please accept my blessing. With it you will have control over the terrain and your underground powers will become more powerful."
"Thank you." Was Bianca's simple response.
Gaea spoke up.
"Zoe, you have always liked the Earth. I am hoping that you will look past what I have done in the past, and become my champion."
"Of course I will."
"You will get similar powers to what I have, and general control over nature."
"Finally, Perseus." Pontus said addressing me. "I heard that your arrogant father disowned you."
"Yes, he did sir." I said trying to be respectful.
"Please, don't call me sir, Percy. Anyways, I was hoping that you would let me adopt you. You would have the same powers that my children would have. You will become a demi-primordial, and your water powers would be much stronger."
"Really, you'd be willing to adopt me! Of course I say yes. Thank you"
"It's my pleasure son." He said. Then there was a bright blue aura around Percy.
"You are now officially my son"
"Ok. What about Kenneth?"
This is where Erebus cut in speaking to Kenneth.
"Kenneth, you are not getting blessed by anyone because you already reached your limit. Since you are a mortal, if you got another blessing; even from a minor deity, you would spontaneously combust."
"We are surprised that you haven't already, but you are really pushing it." Said Chaos. "Anyways, you are going to go with your mentors; I guess they are mentors, and start training, okay? Off you go!"
