More bad weather is costing me my internet connection recently, along with unexpected issues arising on Wednesday. I actually have to do this on a word document to keep any form of schedule

Dalek; The clay soldiers are a good idea...but I may have something better

Sage; I suck as sublty? Ever read Mysterious Power? I've gotten better at it, see the Sage. No one's said who she is yet.

Seesal; by the way, a sudden surge of votes and an error in closing the poll resulted in her being no longer on top. And Dingo is his name because I needed a name to showcase his...difference from his siblings. Dingo isn't good...nor is he stable. Not quite...Joker unstable, but you could almost call him the Jason Todd of the family. In his own way, Dingo is the most tragic of them all

And speaking of tragic...

Flashback, Australia, many years ago

"FATHER! FATHER!" a much younger version of Dingo was shaking a dead man, the 'father' that was created for him similar to Osprey's or Fawn's.

But, unlike their fathers, the daughters didn't have water abilities or a certain evil moon god to sell themselves to keep them alive.

The child was left alone...in dangerous land. His only company...instinct.

And as events began to rise, Dingo was perhaps the worse of the three to be left alone. For like Osprey and Fawn, he was meant to negate the powers of a big three demigod.

Restrain water, defeat death...and to be immune to electricity, by design. By the blood they put in him.

The blood, of Gaea.

Fields of Mars

Ninetails glared down the feral Diana spawn, growling as flames danced among his teeth.

Said child pointed his spear at him.

Flexing his claws, Ninetails lunged at him as the boy lunged at him...

As the sound of horses echoed down the Roman built roads.

Both Ragnarok and the Gigantes, though not those two, turned as a huge army of knights charged down at them from the nearest bridge across the Tiber.

"What the..." Porphyrion scowled as he saw the approaching army. He was ordered by Gaea to avoid the battle, while some of his lesser brothers were showing why that was when a few rather minor Ragnarok gods and some….disturbing manners of subverting the demigod rule (like a minor Norse god whose name was never recorded teleporting a 3 year old demigod in, tossing the child into a giant then teleporting said child back home before it woke up…..no wonder their reports had suggested that the Sage was weak, she didn't take out the god spawn when they could)

'I see...' he heard his mother's move in his head 'Another of Rome's most persistent enemies...or of any pantheon'

"What do you mean, mother?"

'Allow me to show you' time froze as the Giant King was given the view of the past

Flashback, ages ago

"HOW DARE YOU TURN FROM THE POWER OF GOD, YOU HERETICAL TRAITORS!" Dozens of medieval Roman Demigod descendants, including what could only be described as a Warrior Pope, Clemont V to be exact. Several armed companions to a king, Philip IV to be exact, were also here.

Dozens of men similarly dressed to these knights glared back "YOU ARE NOT OF HIS KINGDOM! WE KNOW THE TRUTH...THAT YOU ARE TAINTED WITH THE BLOODS OF PAGAN DEVILS! WE CAN SEE CLEARLY, WE CAN SEE YOUR TRUE NATURES, YOUR GREED AND YOUR WORSHIP OF THOSE OTHER THAN CHRIST'S NAME!"

"HOW DARE YOU!" of course, they actually were, but they didn't know that, or denied it as they used their religious authority to tax the poor, desperate peasants of the era as many did then (and still do now)

Its not to say all priests and figures back then (or now) were like that, but power is something that always finds a way to corrupt. While some do not desire power (such as Percy Jackson of the modern era, he who turned down two offers to be made a god), and many can handle power without abuse being evident, those who do use power irresponsibly will always be at the forefront of everyone's view of the entire group.

"YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SACRILEGE! THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR SHALL BE DESTROYED THIS DAY!"

The armed warriors then clashed

End Flashback

Gaea knew of this as she was the earth itself, and as she was not being constantly harassed like poor Geb, her very, very minute part of her that was awake since the first Gigantomachy had knowledge of things that she would later find important.

She may not know of, say, when the last time Percy Jackson ate a hot dog, but she did know of his strengths (his friends), his weaknesses (protecting his friends) and other things that would work towards her goals…or against them.

'The Knights Templar were a group of warrior monks who fought in the mortal crusades back in the so called 'dark ages'. They built magnificent castles across the land and were immensely rich, so as soon as they began to loose battles as the inner core aged and their enemies learned how to fight them, the vultures began to circle around them.

A mortal king of France had borrowed money from them and wanted more, but they refused. In a disgustingly near Zeus level of arrogance, he had them labeled as heretics who practiced 'unholy' rituals to free himself of their debt as the fools in the Vatican tortured them until they were forced to confess to untruths.' Disgusting mortals the lot of them

'However, a group of knights possessed the ability to see past the mist. They managed to discover the existence of the pantheons, at that time mainly the Greeks, Romans and the House of Life. They also figured out that most of the monarchies that existed back then were descendent of Roman Demigods. Thus, when these knights were targeted by the mortals, they fought back and escaped. The descendants of these knights, and new recruits they found with true sight, became dangerous enemies of any pantheon they encountered, believing them to be all enemies, or Christian demons…they were mostly the enemies of the Romans and Egyptians, as the Greeks were a lesser force back in those days and spent more of their time avoiding the Romans than trying to, as they called it, corrupt the innocent. While in comparison, the Romans they saw as the enemies of Christ' seeing as Romans ordered his death "and the kind whose descendants caused the near genocide of their ranks, while they believed the Egyptian Magicians to be connected to Islamic evil, due to the house being stronger in regions like Egypt, Persia and Arabia as well as being the closest they could find to being the witches of their religion….they may have also disliked them for fighting Moses, but I'm not sure. I don't care for People of the Book, as those three cancers are known'.

Porphyrion noted the three way war that was now occurring with dis interest.

"And why exactly are they managing to harm monsters with their weapons"

'Their steel weapons are forged from molten led that would be briefly held in a rare artifact that was long ago stolen by a son of Hermes from a Nome in what they called a Holy Land…..some Grail or something. It's a similar method that the Egyptians use to make their weapons harm monsters and gods, but one that doesn't involve enchantments or other affects that they consider 'the devils' work.'

"And why aren't any of them dying?"

'The demigods have a word for what they are….I think its badass….strange term. What's so bad about the human hindquarter?'

Meanwhile

Nine Tails was annoyed. Earth kept healing this creation from Diana's blood, and it would not die.

He was taking far too many injuries, and while he would come back should he get killed…..though the conflicting revivals in this battle field meant the two armies, for he wasn't sure if any of the Knights had fallen, would be restored in another location, being injured still hurt and he wasn't going to just jump off a cliff to heal himself.

However, a lightning like blur smashed into Dingo, sending him a distance away from New Rome, as Ninetails had a slight grin.

"I see…..you don't want that kid around here because of how your worried about how it will affect your sister" who was the lieutenant of the person whose blood was in that demigod, which could cause complications "Or your friend" Frank Zhang was getting a tad….paranoid about lethal hunters. Dingo would just make the kid snap…which might have been what Gaea had intended.

Meanwhile, in the air, Dingo was struggling in the grip of Rome's Jason Grace, with the aegis shield and the spear of Thalia at ready.

While Jason was aware from observation that this guy was unaffected by electricity, and thus why he wasn't shocking him, and connected to Gaea so dropping him on a Mountain might be a tad not very effective…...

He was a Roman, given some training in Greek style combat by his sister and the weird satyr Grover Underwood. For the good of Rome, the child would be destroyed.

Next Chapter, Jason Grace vs Dingo! Dingo is designed to be the ultimate foe for any child of the sky king? Can Jason manage to counter it….and avoid allowing him to be seen by his Artemis Loyal sister or Diana paranoid friend?

A/N I long said that biblical characters would not appear, but as you may be aware…the Knights aren't Biblical. I made them a group that could have logically formed in response to those with clear sight seeing evidence of the Roman, Greek and Egyptian Worlds. They work well enough as enemies of them really, Romans and Christain Knights do have issues, like the whole killing of their founder sort of thing, Egyptians are connected to magic, which they consider the work of the devil, and being Arabic in origin, and in some cases Islamic raised (such as Zia Rashid, though I do not have her as an active Muslim at the present time), doesn't help.

Take into account that Satyrs were demonized as being connected to the devil by Christians, and you have the ingredients for a new and powerful enemy. Even Gaea calls them Badass…..sort of.

By the way, while this isn't an adoption request, I do have a request for any reader who, like me, likes the stories he reads but can't help imagine alternate paths for said story. A written by you AU version of this story, or any of my stories anyway, can be requested from me and then written, but you either have to acknowledge the OC's like Orion or his AU brother Theron as mine, or make your own.

After all, the premise for this story began while I wondered what Broken Bow 5 would be like….
