Previously-
Aqua rolled his eyes, which Nikita and Seraphim could not see as they were not Alphas and thus weren't allowed to see under the hood of his cloak.
"Thanks for the double act Kita and Sera. They are also known as the Demon Twins, and they are not named that for no reason. Be wary of them. I am Aqua, Alpha of Chaos. You two are also Alphas so I am supposed to lead the tour, but I doubt these two will let me."
The twins linked and arm through each of Aqua's and used the other to link through Marksman and Doom's.
"Aw Aqua you know us too well." grinned Nitika.
"Obeying the rules is no fun. C'mon, let's show you round..." Seraphim paused for dramatic effect. "...the awesome way."
Aqua rolled his eyes again.
THE VOID-
Marksman (Legolas) and Doom (Frodo) walked with Aqua (Finnick), Nikita and Seraphim.
"The Legion of Chaos is very simple really. Once you join, you get allocated a place in one of the divisions or in the Alphas. There are 25 Divisions, one for each letter of the Ancient Alphabet (Greek Alphabet), plus the Alpha Squad." explained Nikita.
They were in front of the massive Palace of Chaos and looking at the Division blocks that were in a U-Shape.
"Each Division has their own block where they spend the majority of their day. We train with our divisions from 7am-12pm, and then 1pm-6pm, all within the facilities in our Division blocks. After 6pm, you are free to go wherever in The Void, including the villages in The Afterlife Void, but do not stray down the path of the Eternal Torture part, that place is horrifying. Each Division has a Commander and Lieutenant and is distinguished by a colour." Seraphim gestured to the Omega Block, which was closest, it was completely black. There were no soldiers in it though.
"Where are the Omega Division?" asked Doom.
"They are on a huge mission to the first planet in the first galaxy along with the Delta, Omicron and Ksi Division. Their Commanders and Lieutenants travelled there via Chaos Portal, but Chaos cannot travel a whole division of soldiers through a portal so they are flying there. It will take about a week and a half to get there and they left like five days ago so they probably haven't even breached the 50th Galaxy yet." explained Aqua.
Doom nodded in understanding
"Within the Legion, you can achieve certain ranks such as Éxypnos, which is reached through displaying exceptional amounts of intelligence; Lathraía, which is reached though displaying exceptional amounts of Stealth; Akríveia, achieved through accuracy; Logikí through Logic…yadayadayada. There are so many of them that I'd die before I could tell you them all." Continued Seraphim.
"But you're immortal. You can't die." frowned Marksman.
Aqua paused, "That's not quite true actually. There are certain ways of getting rid of an immortal. They are very difficult to do, but still can be done."
Doom's eyes widened. "What? How?"
Aqua thought about it. "There are certain enchantments and spells that if correctly used, can banish an immortal into the Void; Galactic Metal forged by Chaos and blessed by both him and another Primordial can force an immortal to fade if they are stabbed/shot by it; if an immortal's mental state is deteriorated past the point of insanity, they may as well be dead and have to go through the same process that the dead go through; and...there is a way of...I'm not exactly sure how it works but there is a way of...uh absorbing another immortal's energy into yourself, it dissolves your soul and is irreversible."
Doom blanched. "What?"
Marksman wrinkled his nose. "That works for any immortal?"
"Hmm not really sure, it's only ever like happened once, and it was only a minor immortal who's energy was absorbed so..." shrugged Nikita.
"We're not really sure what the possibilities are surrounding that topic. But as far as we can tell, it took a whole lot of energy and power for it to be carried out so judging by that..." continued Seraphim.
"If you were to do it to anyone more powerful than a minor God, you would need one heck of a lot of power." finished Nikita.
"That's horrible." muttered Marksman. "Dissolving your soul? What's that?"
"Your soul is essentially what you actually are. Your body is just there to protect it. Once you die, your soul comes to the Void and if you choose to stay in the Afterlife Void, then you don't need to rebuild your body. But if you join the Legion, then your body regrows, but stronger and with better senses with the Help of Chaos. If it dissolves then...then, we don't know. You cease to exist, you're just...gone."
There was a moment of silence as Doom and Marksman absorbed that information.
Nikita sighed. "Well, that was a cheerful subject..."
Seraphim beamed. "Let's do the tour!"
The two raced ahead, their emerald and magenta cloaks billowed out behind them.
Marksman frowned. "Those two are army Commanders right?"
Aqua smiled. "Yeah, but they're pretty cool. There are a couple of really uptight ones you should watch out for, like Commander Ksi (Arthur), he can be rather...rude. But those two? They're so awesome, guess they get it from their parents."
"Their parents?" Doom cocked his head.
Aqua smiled mysteriously. "You'll find out when we enter the Alpha Block."
"I thought Alphas were supposed to keep their identity from soldiers in the Legion?" asked Doom, confused as he watched Nikita and Seraphim charge into the Alpha block.
Aqua grinned. "They are, but Tika and Sera are exceptions. They are like, honorary Alphas until they get promoted up. Their parents are in the Alphas so they have an agreement that they are allowed to see under everyone's mask and they won't tell anyone, on the basis that none of the other Alphas will tell anyone who their parents are."
Doom looked even more confused. "Why does it matter who their parents are?"
Aqua came to a halt in front of the double doors that were the entrance to the Alpha Block. "Their parents, are possibly two of the most powerful people, ever to exist. Two of the most legendary Alphas, who no one except us Alphas, who are sworn to secrecy, can know their true identity. If there enemies, and trust me, they've made a lot, found out they had kids...they would use them against them."
Doom gulped."Oh."
Marksman looked curiously at the multi coloured walls of the Alpha Block. "Who are these two legendary people?"
Alpha put his hand on the doors. "Cyclone and Reaper. Percy Jackson and Nico Di Angelo." He then pushed the two doors open and strolled through, leaving the other two standing outside for a second.
Doom ran to catch up with him. "Wait, they have two male parents?"
Aqua nodded. Out of no where a man dressed in a brown, leather hunting cloak appeared in front of them.
"Aqua! How's it going man? Haven't seen you in like a month. Are these two new recruits?"
He was tall and had his cloak down to reveal a young man with tousled brown hair and piercing grey eyes.
Aqua embraced him in a quick bro-hug. "Hunt, I'm good man. How was your mission? Oh yeah, this is Marksman and Doom."
Hunt (Gale Hawthorne) turned to look at the two new recruits properly. "Marksman, eh? An archer I'm guessing?"
Marksman nodded.
Hunt looked carefully at his long blonde hair and sharp grey eyes, similar to that of his own. "You look pretty good with a bow. Maybe you could give my girlfriend a run for her money at The Games this year."
Even though Marksman didn't understand half of what he said, he knew it was a compliment. "Thank you sir."
Hunt laughed. "Don't call me that." he put his hand out "I'm Hunt, formerly known as Gale Hawthorne."
Marksman put his hand out to take it. "Marksman, formerly Legolas Greenleaf.
Hunt held his hand out to Doom as well. "Doom, formerly Frodo Baggins."
They then turned their attention back on the twins.
"Elia! Elia! EL-IAAAAAA!" called Seraphim.
They heard a voice yell back. "Alright. ALRIGHT SERA! I can hear you, I'm just coming! Geez."
In front of the two brunettes materialised a girl with long blonde hair pulled back in two loose pigtails. She wore formfitting white armour under a black cloak with golden designs of lightning embroidered on it. She had chocolate brown eyes that sparkled with amusement as Seraphim threw herself on top of her in a warm hug.
She laughed and turned towards the new recruits. "Hi!" she said warmly. "I'm Aurelia, formerly known as Alyssa Grace. You guys new?"
"Well obviously." snorted Aqua. "This is Marksman and Doom."
Aurelia nodded at them in acknowledgement. She was the daughter of Gladiator (Jason, if any of you had forgotten [if you had, shame on you]) and Valkyrie; she was best friends with Nikita and Seraphim, but as she was older than them by a couple of hundred years, she moved up to the Alphas first.
Seraphim turned and pulled Aurelia into a deep kiss, whilst Nikita started to make retching sounds.
"Whoa, I was not expecting that." muttered Marksman.
Aurelia hit Nikita on the shoulder, "Oh shut up, you are just as bad, if not worse, with Daredevil."
"Yeah, but not in public." huffed Nikita. "You know my parents would kill me if they find out that I am dating him. Or at least my Pa would. I'm sure dad wouldn't mind."
Marksman raised an eyebrow picking up that Nikita had said 'him'. "Wait so, one of them is straight? And the other isn't?"
Seraphim rolled her eyes, "We are right here you know..."
"But yeah, so what, we're triplets? Doesn't mean that we have the same tastes." smirked Nikita.
Doom was still stuck on the fact that they had two male parents. "Wait so-"
Marksman cut him off. "Triplets? You have another sibling?"
Nikita grinned. "Yuhuh, good ol' Leandro. He's Commander Kappa, doesn't look much like us though."
Hunt rolled his eyes. "Except for your eyes. They have exactly the same eyes."
Seraphim hummed in disagreement. "No I'd say his are larger than ours."
"Yeah, he hates it." sniggered Nikita, "Thinks it makes him look too girly."
Doom growled internally, why was no one listening to him? "Guys, please can we back-pedal a bit. You said you have two fathers?"
"Yeah..." nodded Nikita.
"How?" frowned Doom.
The others all looked confused and glanced at each other. "What do you mean 'how'?"
Aqua groaned into his hands. "He's new you idiots. You haven't told him how reproduction works in the Void yet."
"Oh." said Seraphim sheepishly, and then brightened. "Oh yeah, we were giving them a tour! Let's go!"
"No." sighed Nikita catching Seraphim's arm before she could teleport off. "We need to answer their questions first."
Aqua rolled his eyes at them. "Reproduction in the Void is very simple really. Chaos is the creator of everything, so if you want a child, you go to him, and he creates a child from your essences. So that means, same sex couples can easily have kids. Chaos will only create you a kid if you have earned it, like shown how loyal you are to the army through years of service, or carrying out daunting missions, or committing acts of extreme bravery...etc. You can go through the pregnancy if you want, Chaos doesn't stop you, but that prevents you from fighting in the Legion, Chaos forbids it if you are pregnant."
"Oh." said Doom understandingly. Man, this place was weird, it was run by an all-powerful dude that could make babies from thin air.
"We ought to go now." muttered Aurelia to Hunt. "Gods forbid that I am late to breakfast again and get yelled at by my brother. Again."
Hunt nodded in agreement. "Bye guys, see you around."
The two left with a pop, leaving the other five standing in the entrance hall.
"What are The Games?" asked Marksman, recalling that Hunt had said that he might 'give his girlfriend a run for her money in The Games'.
"The Games?" asked Aqua. "Let's show you where they are held first. It'll be easier to explain like that. I presume that you already know how to teleport?"
The two nodded.
"Okay, hold on to one of us and we'll teleport you there." said Aqua. "You don't know where we're going so you can't do it yourself, but shared teleportation isn't that different really." he elaborated after seeing their indignant expressions.
After they had shown Marksman and Doom the multiple arenas used for the Games (Marksman had been very appreciative of the archery ranges), they took them to The Palace of Chaos.
The constant flow of people was rather overwhelming. It was good that the doors to the Palace were fit for a Primordial at it's true size, because otherwise the amount of people moving an and out of them just wouldn't fit.
Seraphim and Nikita pulled the other three down a slightly less noisy and busy corridor.
"Okay, so, first things first. You never walk that far in the Palace of Chaos because it is so fucking huge that it would take you days." started Seraphim.
"Instead, you travel everywhere via permanent portals." Nikita gestured to the row of swirling, black vortexes that lined the wall, each only about 1 metre in diameter, with names stamped above them. A person dressed in a lilac cloak and with the symbol Xi on it appeared out of the one that was labelled "Nyx" (Primordial Goddess of Darkness). A few seconds later, a different person with a darker purple cloak on and the symbols showing that she was the Commander of the Sigma division, appeared out of the one labeled as "Thalassa' (Primordial Goddess of the personified spirit of the Sea).
"Each portal would take you to where it is labelled. For example, the one labelled Chronos (Primordial God of Time), would take you to Chronos' section of the Palace. But they are one way portals, and so this is the exit one, so if you tried to use it, it would just bring you back here." explained Aqua.
Marksman and Doom nodded to show that they heard him as they watched another person appear out of the Physis (Primordial Goddess of Nature) portal.
"Do you travel everywhere else by teleportation then?" asked Doom.
"No, there is the Galaxy corridor. We have an artificial station in each galaxy, an there is a corridor with massive permanent portals that take you to that galaxy for missions. Unfortunately, they cannot take like, an entire army division. So the Commanders will often go on the quest first and then the rest of the division will travel there manually, via spaceship, and arrive a few days or a week later." said Aqua as they walked down the long corridor lined with portals. "But you can only use them for missions, you have you get permission from a Primordial before you can even leave the Void."
CAMP HAVEN-
Cyclone had finished his meal and was scanning through his messages on his Diepafí̱, to see if any of the new information Chaos had given him was any use. "Who the Hades is Charles Xavier?"
Genius looked up from her meal. "I think he's from the second planet, in this galaxy, and he's very powerful in his world."
Cyclone pursed his lips. "Well that's not very useful then, why did Chaos send his profile to me?"
Genius shrugged. "Maybe the second planet has gotten involved in the war. Maybe Tartarus managed to get the bad guys from that planet to join him."
Cyclone frowned. "Aren't most of the bad guys in the Eternal Torture section of the Void?"
Mastermind snorted "Well, not if they're still alive."
"Fair point." said Cyclone with a slight laugh. "I'll check if there are any people from the second planet registered in the eternal torture section of the Void."
He flicked through his screens that were projected into the air. He clicked on the 'members of the Void' list, he had access to it because of his rank as an Elite Alpha. He scrolled down throughout the list to the Eternal Torture section when the screen flickered.
All the members of the Legion froze.
Suddenly, the screen became distorted and started to malfunction. Chaos' voice started to sound slightly robotic, instead of his normal friendly tone. Cyclone's display then closed all together, but then reopened back to normal.
All the members of the Legion unfroze, but stayed very tense.
"Oh. My. Gods." whispered Mastermind, staring at the Diepafí̱.
"This is bad. This is bad." repeated Achilles. "This is very very bad."
Kim frowned. "What's bad? It just glitched."
Cyclone stood up abruptly, looking slightly panicked. "That's the thing though. The Chaos system doesn't get glitches. There are only two possible explanations for the glitch, neither of which are good. It either means that someone is doing the impossible; trying to hack the system and succeeding. Or Chaos is doing something that means that he can't divert the necessary attention to the Diepafí̱ system. He would have told us like before it happened if he knew about it so this must be spontaneous. The only explanation for a spontaneous event that would divert Chaos' attention enough to glitch the system like this...would be if he was under attack."
