AN: I can't believe I forgot to do the Disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson. Rick Riordan does.

Also, vote on my poll: Which pairing should be the main one in Percy Jackson: Guardian of the Hunt? This will help in later chapters. If you pick the choice of Other, please inform me somehow (PM or Review) who you want Percy to be paired with.

Replies to reviews:

Guest: Annabeth would never break up with Seaweed Brain for some random kid! And for that matter, why is the whole camp infatuated with this guy? Percy didn't instantly get a club of fawning admirers when he got claimed! And if this guy is Annabeth's age, then Zeus broke the oath twice (thrice if you count Jason)! And honestly she took a damned KNIFE for him and she's known him for years! I refuse to believe that some random guy can just waltz in and get her to fall in love!

Reply: Sorry, but in this fanfic, Annabeth is OOC. However, you can vote in my poll for Annabeth to become Percy's girlfriend again. Plus, "this guy" just has this "charm", and all the new campers have only heard from stories that Percy Jackson "defeated" Kronos and Gaea, so they believe Bruce's lies.

DeadDredd: So, update schedule? What's the direction you plan to take this fic? Intrigued and interested to read more.

Reply: My update schedule SHOULD be once a month, but honestly, I'm not sure, because I just got really busy, since I'm back in school now.

Chapter 2

Apollo's POV:

I'm driving the Sun, when I see Percy Jackson, out of camp. I would have known if he had received a quest since he had to go to the oracle. I think a bit. Percy could have run away. When I'm done with my shift, I flash to Camp Half-Blood. All of the campers bow, except one. He has blond hair, like Jason, and wait… I'm not THAT stupid. That's a Zeus kid! Hera must be mad. I'm shaken out of my thoughts when the boy speaks.

"Who are YOU, and what are you doing in MY camp?" the boy says arrogantly.

"This camp is not yours," Chiron reprimands him, "Sorry, Lord Apollo."

I wave him off, knowing that it is not his fault.

"YOU'RE APOLLO?" The boy wonders in clear disbelief, "You don't look like much. I bet I can beat you in a fight."

My kids start protesting against this guy. I look at him. So this is the guy who made Percy's life miserable both in this timeline and the last timeline.

"Anyway, I was way better than Percy Jackson. Savior of Olympus? Ha! I could beat him in a fight. He can't hurt a fly," the boy brags.

"The spar will have to be another time." I know what happened now.

I flash off to the forest, where I find Percy, telling a young girl to wake into the clearing. I wait until the girl is out of sight before tapping Percy on the shoulder. He turns around somewhat calmly.

"Hello, Apollo," he smiles grimly as if expecting me.

"Why aren't you at camp?" I ask, "Don't you still have Annabeth?"

He scowls, "Don't get me started on her. She cheated on me, even after what I did for her! I can't believe her!"

"You got… betrayed again?" I'm surprised. We - Hestia, Artemis, Poseidon, Hermes, Demeter, Hades, and I - tried our best to make sure that Percy couldn't get betrayed again.

"I thought that you guessed that when you came over to me," Percy says, annoyed.

"I thought that he just controlled everyone," I reply.

If you were wondering, I kinda was eavesdropping when Grover told Percy that they were being controlled.

"Anyway, Percy, I would like you to become my champion," I tell him.

"Awesome! I'll be Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, slayer of Kronos, Gaea, and many more monsters, blessed by Hermes, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Hades, and champion of Hestia and Apollo!" Percy exclaims.

"Backtrack a second. Champion of Hestia?!" Hestia has never had a champion. Ever.

And so Percy explains everything.

Mars' POV

I am fading. Slowly, from the world. In 2 hours, I will be gone from Earth. Funny, I always thought that I would die in a war, killed by some powerful opponent, or maybe to the punk's (he's talking about Percy) blade. Never would I have thought that I would fade because of the lack of war. Never. I lay in Iraq, where the last battle was held. I hear a voice that sounds familiar.

"Where is he?" he asks.

I hear someone respond to his question. He laughs. I close my eyes. I think about war, knowing that this may be my last thought. Then, everything goes black.

Unknown's POV

I can feel that Mars is fading. And if he is, then that means Ares is also fading. I never really liked Ares, but he is an important major god. Mars holds a bit of my respect, and frankly, I don't want him to fade. I quickly press my hands on Mars' heart and mutter a spell.

"Καλώ τον πατέρα μου, τον Κhaos, να ανακτήσει την ψυχή του σώματος αυτού του θεού από το κενό και να το επαναφέρει στον κόσμο των ζωντανών." I whisper. (I call upon my father, Khaos, to retrieve the soul of this god's body from the Void and bring it back to the world of the living.)

I look at Mars and wait for him to wake up.

Mars' POV

Suddenly, I open my eyes. This is not the Void, where gods go when they fade. I look up and see a familiar face.

Jackson.

Percy's POV

"Turn right, ok walk a bit, and you should be able to find them," Hestia tells me.

I'm on a mission to find yet another demigod. I've been on missions left and right finding demigods to bring to Camp Half-Hell, sorry, I mean Camp Half-Blood, the Hunters of Artemis, and Camp Jupiter. There is a boy and a girl demigod somewhere around me. I walk for a bit, then see a young boy and a girl hiding behind a tree, watching me. I know that look. They look like they had been abused. Calmly, I walk up to them. They watch me.

"Hi, I'm Blaze. I'm here to help. I won't hurt you," I tell them.

They inch away from me.

"I'll bring you to a safe place, where you won't be abused," I continue.

"How do you know that we've been abused?" The girl asks sharply.

"I've been abused too. By my stepfather. I nicknamed him Smelly Gabe," I reply.

The boy giggles, "You're funny."

"Μπορεί ακόμα να καταλάβετε μου?" I ask.

This means, Can you still understand me? in Greek. It's a test to see whether they are Greek or Roman. The boy nods eagerly, while the girl stares at me before slowly nodding. I explain the Greek world to them. The boy looks fascinated, while the girl looks wary.

"What are your names?" I inquire.

"I'm Sapphire Walters, and my brother is Alex," the girl replies.

"Well, you two can go to Camp Half-Blood, where you will train, or Sapphire can go to the Hunters of Artemis," I wince when I say Camp Half-Blood.

Sapphire notices this, "What is wrong with Camp Half-Blood?"

"I was a hero," I start, "My name was Perseus "Percy" Jackson. I was the twice savior of Olympus. I won two wars for them. But when a new Zeus kid came to camp, everyone betrayed me except my oldest friends, who were controlled somehow by that Zeus kid. My now ex-girlfriend cheated on me. I ran away."

"I will go to the Hunters of Artemis," Sapphire decides.

"You will have to take an oath against men," I warn her.

She nods, agreeing.

"Why don't you two go to sleep?"

I snap my fingers, and a tent appears. Being blessed by Hermes helps with these kinds of things. Alex stays behind.

"What about me? Where do I go? I don't want to go to Camp Half-Blood. You're nice. Can I stay with you?" Alex pleads, his eyes begging me.

I can't help but think about how when Lady Artemis recruits girls for the hunt, many siblings' hearts are broken, or sad. I then realize that I haven't answered Alex's question.

"How about we talk about this in the morning?" I say as I see Alex yawn.

He smiles at me, "Goodnight Mr. Blaze!"

I watch Alex bounce off to bed.

Hestia? I think. I can mentally talk to Hestia.

What is it, Percy?

I was thinking about creating a group, much like the Hunters of Artemis, except you don't have to swear off girls, and any demigod can join.

That's a wonderful idea!

I was wondering if you would be our patron?

Of course!

That's all! Bye! I fish around in my pockets for a drachma.

Tossing the drachma into the rainbow, I say, "Oh Iris, accept my offering."

A sweet tinkling voice whispers, "No need for the drachma, Perseus. Just say, 'Fleecy, do me a solid and show me _' and I will."

The drachma is tossed back at me.

"Fleecy, do me a solid, and show me Apollo."

"How's it going, my champion?"

"Great, but I have a question. Will you be the patron of my group, the Warriors of Hope? We hunt for demigods, and fight monsters." I smile.

Apollo agrees.

Another Iris message later, Mars is another patron of the Warriors of Hope.

The next morning, we go to the camp of the Hunters of Artemis. I tell Alex to be quiet and give Sapphire a coin.

"Show the hunters, Grace, Lily, and Kate these coins. They were also sent here by me," I whisper.

Sapphire nods, and waves goodbye. Alex waves back sadly. Luckily, there are no traps this time. The Hunters must have known that I was helping them by giving them new members.

Once we're far enough from the Hunters, Alex looks at me, "So can I stay with you, Mr. Blaze?"

"Yes. What do you think of being the first member of the group I'm starting?" I reply.

"Ok! What do I have to do? I didn't bring my piggy stuffed toy, I'm sorry, but you can have my owl!"

I laugh, "You don't need to give me anything. Come, follow me."

I walk to a building and knock on the door.

"Password?" A voice asks.

"WOH," I answer, and the door swings open.

"Why WOH? Why are we here?" Alex wonders aloud.

Alex sure is curious.

"This is a place given to me by Apollo, the god of the sun. I'm here to tell you all about the group that we are creating. The group's name will be called The Warriors of Hope. We recruit any demigod, whether they are a boy or a girl. Our patrons will be Apollo, the god of the sun, Mars, the Roman God of War, and Hestia the goddess of the hearth, home, and family. Our job is to find demigods and bring them either to Camp or to the Hunters of Artemis," I tell him, "How old are you?"

Alex shows me six fingers. I smile and write down his name and age on a piece of paper inside the building. According to Hestia, when you write down the name and age of a person, a new room will be created inside the building that fits the style of the person. Sure enough, next to Alex's name is Room 2A.

"Where am I going to sleep?" Alex questions.

I smile, "Follow me."

I walk to the hall and turn right. There is an elevator, and Alex jumps right in.

"I have PTSD, so I'm going to take the stairs, ok? Press the button that says 2."

I run up the stairs, and by the time I get to the second floor, Alex is waiting for me. We turn left and find a door that has Alex's name and the room number on it.

"The second floor is all yours for now. When I recruit another member, you will share this floor with him or her. There is a training room, your bedroom, another bedroom, a bathroom, a game room, and a lot of other rooms. To get access to a room, put your hand on the sensor, and show the camera above the door your pendant," I explain.

Alex's room is gray and has an owl picture on it. An Athena kid. That theory is proven when a gray owl appears on top of Alex's head.

Sapphire's POV

I know that I will miss my brother, but I need a life of my own. For 6 years of my 11-year life, I've had to take care of my brother. A girl with a silver circlet finds me.

"Did Blaze find you?" She asks, "And you want to join the Hunt?"

I nod to both questions.

"New member!" She calls, "I'm Thalia, lieutenant of the Hunt. You are?"

"Sapphire," I supply.

An auburn-haired girl strides over. This must be Lady Artemis. I bow.

"If you want to join the Hunt, just say, 'I, [your name], pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the hunt,'" Lady Artemis says.

"I, Sapphire Marie Walters, pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the hunt," I repeat.

I think of my brother and wonder, "May I still talk to my brother, Alex, Milady?"

"Only him," Lady Artemis tells me sternly, then raises her voice, "Hunters! Fall in!"

Girls come all over the camp, inside tents, archery practice, everywhere! So many people!

"Please welcome Sapphire Walters to the Hunt. We will be going to Camp Half-Blood later today," Artemis announces.

There is a collective groan before three girls come up to me.

"I'm Grace. I'm 8, and a daughter of Apollo," a blonde girl tells me, smiling widely, "These are Lily and Kate, the 13-year-old twin daughters of Hermes. Kate is a bit taller than Lily, that's how I tell them apart. Blaze sent you?"

I nod, not trusting myself to speak.

"Show me the coin!" Grace jumps up and down.

I show them the coin that Blaze gave me.

"She was-" one twin starts.

"Definitely sent-" the other twin continues.

"By Blaze," both girls finish in unison, each flashing me a grin.

Grace sighs, "Give Sapphire her watch back."

I never noticed they stole the watch that my mother left for me! Kate flashes me an apologetic smile. Grace laughs.

"You should apollo-gize!"

"Sorry!" the twins say in chorus.

I study my watch, then press a button on the side. The watch turns into a dagger!

"Sapphire is a daughter of Athena!" Grace yells.

I notice an owl above my head.

"Anyway, rub the coin, to call a meeting, and everyone who knows Blaze personally, like me, Kate, and Grace, will be connected, and we can talk," Lily tells me.

Later that day…

3rd POV

The Hunt walks into Camp Half-Blood. Bruce, not knowing the Hunt, strides up to Sapphire and flirts. Sapphire, annoyed, punches him in the face. Thalia laughs, patting her on the back. Then, Thalia gasps.

"Where's Percy?" She demands.

"Does it matter? It's not like he's better than Bruce. Who needs Percy when we have Bruce?" a camper asks.

"Who cares about Percy anyway?" Annabeth smirks.

"Annabeth? He's your boyfriend!" Thalia protests.

"No he's not! Bruce is my awesome boyfriend!" Annabeth retorts.

Unnoticed to everyone, Artemis has disappeared up to Olympus to call an emergency meeting. She shoots a silver arrow up into the sky, and slowly, the gods start trickling in.

"Who called this meeting?" booms Zeus.

"You know who, father. Me," Artemis sighs, "Perseus is missing."

Poseidon sinks into his throne, "M-my son."

All the gods and goddesses have different emotions. Athena, for once, is at a loss for words. Hermes, Dionysus, and Hephaestus are worried. Apollo and Hestia are calm. Hades is wondering if Hera took him again. Ares and Hera seem indifferent about the whole situation. Aphrodite is sad that her OTP broke up. Demeter is eating cereal. Zeus is troubled. He never really liked his son, Bruce, and on the other hand, Perseus is his favorite nephew (though he would never admit it).

"This calls for a quest. A quest to find Perseus," Artemis announces.

Instead of the usual 3 quest members, 6 are chosen; Thalia Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Grover Underwood, Nico Di-Angelo, and a 10 year old girl named Juliana who was sent by Blaze. The next morning, the questers set off. When they get to a forest, Juliana stops.

"What's wrong?" Piper asks.

"Nothing. I have an idea! Blaze can help!" Juliana grins.

She takes out a coin and taps it three times. The others stare at her. Suddenly, an Iris message pops up, showing a guy with black hair and blue eyes.

"Hi Blaze! Guess what! I'm on a quest! To find Percy Jackson! Can you help?" Juliana tells Blaze.

Before Blaze can respond, Thalia cuts in, "So you're the person who gives the Hunt new members!"

Blaze smiles sadly, "Indeed I am. Now Juli, who is with you?"

"Leo, Thalia, Piper, Grover, and Nico," Juliana replies.

Blaze thinks for a while before responding, "Count to ten, then jump."

Thalia exchanges dubious looks with the others, but Juliana beams, "Thanks, Blaze!"

Piper sighs, but says, "Just give it a try."

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Leo counts.

Everyone jumps at the same time and suddenly, they are not in the forest anymore. They are outside a large building. Blaze appears out of nowhere and opens the door. He leads them to an office.

"Where's Percy Jackson?" Thalia demands.

"Tell me where he is. NOW!" Piper laces her voice with charmspeak.

"No need the rush, Pipes, or the threats, Pinecone Face," Blaze smirks.

Piper is shocked. No one has been able to resist her charmspeak!

"Only my cousins call me that! Not even my ex-brother has the privilege!" Thalia growls.

Blaze chuckles, "Then I guess it's a good thing that I'm your cousin."

Leo thinks for a bit, "Percy?"

Blaze smiles and changes his look. There is Percy Jackson, in all his glory.

"KELP HEAD?!" Thalia exclaims before hugging Percy.

"In the flesh."

The next hour is spent talking about what Percy did as Blaze. Everyone who sided with Percy are made honorary members of the Warriors of Hope.

Back at Olympus

"I'm sorry, father, we were unable to find Percy," Thalia looks like she is going to cry.

Artemis nods in understanding, "Maybe we should show the camp what Bruce has done."

Zeus agrees, and they all flash down to Camp Half-Blood. After showing the campers what Bruce did, the campers are furious at what Bruce did. They also feel guilty, for what they did to Percy.

"Hello? The nice man said to go until the borders," a young girl walks in, "He said to deliver this note."

Thalia, meanwhile, is telling all the campers that hadn't willingly betrayed Percy about their adventure, and what happened. When she hears the girl, however, Thalia looks at the girl.

"Show me the note," Thalia inquires.

The girl shows them the note.

You're welcome.

The Warriors of Hope

AN: Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Once again, vote in my poll. Review if you have questions, or comments (I like to see how my writing can be better, or how much people like my stories). Please don't be rude, though.

Questions: Should Bruce be banished from Camp? Should my chapters be longer or shorter, or are they fine? Should Khaos be involved in the Warriors of Hope?

Quick Summary about Warriors of Hope: A group dedicated to finding demigods, though they do have missions/quests, much like Camp Half-Blood. Their patrons are Apollo, Hestia, and Mars/Ares. They are trained by Percy/Blaze in the training room. They are also told the story of Percy Jackson (because Apollo insisted). Each Warrior of Hope has a floormate/someone whom they share the floor with.

Any questions? Just review.
