The Army's Arrival

(Nebula POV)

(Second half of day 3)

Things were getting tense. Everyone in the camp was on edge. Border patrol had been doubled yesterday after we saw an egyptian spy at the foot of the hill. Nicholas wasn't of any help either. He wasn't participating in any defensive actions that would've aided the camp. Annabeth was following his lead in not helping us devise stratagies to defend the camp when the time came. They both said something about Nicholas' honor being stained by Void and refused to help the camp until Void apologized to Nicholas.

'Like he'll get it.' I thought. A problem that I had specifically was the fact that Thaila and the hunters were trying to find my identity out. Thaila and Phoebe were the most determined out of the group to try and uncover it. I remember a few times during the past few days when I had to duck to avoid an arrow that would've taken my hood off. I keep telling them I'll reveal myself when the time comes. They just don't seem to understand it. To finish off the situation I've been extremely worried about Void for the past few days. I haven't seen him at all since he left for his training. I can only hope that he's okay and that he'll be back before the Egyptians show up again. I was broken out of my thought process by Chaos entering the room through his teleportation.

"Chaos? What brings you here?"

"Ahh. Nebula. I was hoping Void would be here as he would take this news better but you'll do. I've decided to send some additional help. So I've decided to send Warrior X here." My mind immediately rejected the idea of him coming here. Warrior X was the most obnoxious of Chaos' forces but even I had to admit that after Void and myself he was also the most skilled.

"Why are you sending him? You know Void and I can handle it."

"I know you two can but I'm sending him here as to minimize the casualties on our side. Don't worry I'll tell him to keep calm."

'Like it'll work' I thought snidely. No matter how much he was warned Warrior X would always keep up his annoying act. However, He would be of major help in the fight to come.

"Yes sir."

"Good. I'll take my leave and watch the battle from the stars. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck." With that Chaos vanished in a ripple of darkness like he usually does. I traced back to my thoughts of Void and whether or not he was okay. My thoughts were once again broken by speaking coming from behind me.

"Ne-Nebula?" I turned and saw Void behind me. He was badly injured and looked like he would collapse at any second. I quickly rushed over and inspected his wounds.

"Void! Are you alright? How did this happen? Who did this to you?" I rattled off so many questions that it looked like his head would spin. He held up a hand to quiet me.

"I am alright Nebula. As to what happened... Let's just say I am much more at peace than I have been for the past few days and to who did this? I does not matter. The point is I am over my petty anger now." After hearing that I embraced Void in a tight hug. I had wanted him to find peace for a long time now and now he had it. He hugged me back just as hard. We stayed like that for a few minutes before breaking apart. I took the initiative and spoke of what Chaos told me.

"Void, something you should know. Chaos said he would be sending Warrior X to help minimize the casualties." Void gained an annoyed expression on his face. While X was one of Void's best friends in Chaos' realm he was still pretty damn annoying. The expression on his face vanished before he began to speak.

"It seems like we'll need it too. I've been looking over the demigods and morale is dangerously low. X will be of massiv-" He was cut off by a loud BOOM that verberated across the camp. We turned and saw smoke rising from over the hill. The Egyptians had shown up and right on time to. We rushed out the door and up the hill to get a look at their army.

Their army was large to say the least. It seemed that the most prominent creature in it was the Ushabti, A clay servant or in this case soldier. Osiris seemed to have a smug look on his face as he approached us.

"I'll give you one last chance to surrender Greek demigods. If you do that'll be the end of it but if you don't I'll lay waste to your camp." He seemed to be hiding his contempt for allowing us to surrender. One of the hunters didn't like that idea very much and thought best to verbalize her thoughts.

"As if we'll surrender to you Egyptian Trash!" Osiris gained an angry look on his face.

"Why you... Get her!" A small wyvern that was apart of his army charged the hunter with immense speed but before it could even make it halfway up the hill something crashed into the wyvern. A voice rang out from the dust cloud that encompassed the crash area.

"You call the ace for relief?" I'd recognize that voice anywhere. Standing in the dust cloud was Warrior X.

He stood at a rather tall height. His skin was well tanned from his years of battle and his hair was rather long reaching the base of his neck and had a raven color to it. Warrior X's eyes were red in color. He wore no shirt showing off his chiseled features such as his abs and chest and also showed off an intricate tattoo that looked to be a cross of a T and a J. He wore black shorts that reach halfway down his kneecaps and a long orange/red sash on his right leg. On his Left arm was a metal gauntlet that encompassed his entire arm. His sword was a large broadsword that went from black to tan and had intricate red markings on it. The tip of his sword was fanned out much like a semi circle only with a little more curve. His sword also had no hilt and instead had a T shape that was covered in bandages. This was Warrior X. We also knew that with his arrival the battle had truly begun.

A/N: FINALLY! You have no idea how long it's been since I've wanted to get that chapter out. Or maybe you do? I don't know. A plethora of things to talk about. First I know this was supposed to come out in June but I had absolutley no time to write while vacationing in Japan. Good country by the way. Another thing is I've been rather caught up in the controversy around the story deletions on this site. I personally think it's wrong to delete good stories just for some graphic content. Anyways please review and let's hope inspiration strikes me again for a new chapter soon! See ya! Bonus Author Question! Who is Warrior X? I truly hope you know who he is.
