IV: Hero

-Oasis-

"Let's do it this way. I'll flip a coin heads or tails. If it lands on tails I'm going to sleep and letting y'all take care of this, but if it lands on heads I'll actually get off my butt and help you guys." The four figures before me nodded, and I could tell they were smirking even through hoods and armor alike. There comes a point when you've been around someone so long that you know them inside out, for better and for worse.

I reached into the pouch that was on the side of my belt. The first thing I saw was charathium throwing knives, pre-laced with poison. Glad to see there's open poison just lying in my bag attached to the strongest type of metal in the universe. Guess that could lead to a toxic outcome. Hehehe. Get it because some would say poison is toxic. Sorry, I ruined it.

There were other weapon types, but I spotted the shiny silver coin I was looking for and grabbed it, careful to avoid the poison blades. I instantly flipped it and my group watched carefully as the coin spun around and fell to the ground. The coin landed right in a crack on the ground with a loud clunk, not showing heads or tails, just the worn down the side of the coin. I groaned and could feel other people's shocked and disappointed looks traveling between the coin and me rapidly.

"The gods are pranking me," I muttered. "Well, guess we're all going," I said with a chuckle. "I missed my workout because of this mission, so let's make up for it." I could feel that everyone was satisfied with that. The stealthy part of the mission was over, so everyone threw off their black and purple cloaks revealing their armor underneath.

The first was a girl with long black hair and deep black eyes. Her armor was almost all black but it had some purple designs including spirals and ten sided stars. She used a long scythe that seemed to reflect the Void itself, with a broadsword tucked behind her back. A daughter of Chaos like me and has served in the Army of Chaos for longer than she can remember. In fact, her true age is unknown because she hates her past so much she forgot most details completely, though she never told me why it was so bad. My older sisters name is Hannah Isao, and her partial immortality gives her the appearance of twenty. She controls powers over shadows and metals. Codename: Shadow.

Next was a pretty tall boy with short blonde hair falling over his face and blue eyes. His armor had designs of lava and fire mixed into the cold night sky. He used a broadsword and dagger to fight alongside his abilities over fire. He is third in command in The Army of Chaos. His name is Luke Castellan, the son of an Earth god named Hermes. Codename: Alpha.

Another girl was a bit shorter with silver hair and obsidian black eyes. She didn't wear armor because she had incredible sensory, prediction, and dodging skills. She can also be thought of as the 'brain' of the group seeing as she always makes battle plans and strategies, even noticing patterns and movements while in combat. Using a longbow with a variety of arrow types for different situations, the always calm and collected Zoe Nightshade controlled powers of stealth and lightning. She grows stronger when the moon comes out. Codename: Star

Finally, another girl who doesn't fancy armor either because 'carrying all that metal tires me out.' Wielding twin swords and controlling powers over landscape and creation. The black haired girl with black eyes Bianca di Angelo. Codename: Sunset

Then there's always me. Technically I have water abilities, but I always immediately freeze the water into ice in battle. I use many weapons seeing as I can summon anything from the armory back home whenever I need it. I wear blank armor just like my soul. Just kidding I'm not that edgy. I have black hair with streaks of sky blue running through it, and my eyes were dancing with different shades of green. My name used to be Percy Jackson, but now, I go by my codename. I am the son of Chaos. I am Oasis, just Oasis.

I looked down toward the enemies that were below us. Ruthless killers. No mercy. I threw a rock as hard as I could at them, and ended up missing by a longshot. I'm pretty sure blind people have better-aiming skills than me.

I smirked at the confused people looking up. "You have armor and weapons, you were paranoid and expecting justice to catch up to you were you not," I called down to them. They seemed to acknowledge my statement but didn't respond. "Ethier way, killing three villages is plenty enough for us to give you the death penalty early," I said motioning the others to attack from different sides.

I hopped down from above summoning a longsword, raising it high. It really feels great. Fighting for what's right beside people I love. It feels great to be a hero. Everything seemed to freeze mid-air. I could see all the fighting below me and the few people still staring at me frozen both in awe and terror. I used my frost ability feeling my feet slowly grow cold. I could feel my breaths become slightly heavier. I'll finish this quick.

I hit the cold ground instantly sprouting ice spikes from the place I landed. The three spikes quickly grew and stabbed the three enemies that were too scared to move. It pierced their armor like butter. A slow stream of blood trickled from each. I don't want to kill anyone! We can live peacefully! Anyone can be a good person if they just try! No. Those guys definitely deserved it, all that old ideology is for those who don't know anything about this world.

"Commander," Shadow called out from the distance. I came out of my thoughts to see someone charging at me with a massive greatsword. I stood still awaiting their approach. He seemed to grow angry at my attitude and ran faster, slipping on the ice now surrounding me. He hit his head and dropped his sword beside him. I froze a solid block of ice around his sword leaving him unarmed. No mercy.

I sprouted another ice spike through his throat and turned my attention to others. Alpha seemed to be fine as he was constantly spewing fire at the already scorched enemies. Star was shooting all kinds of arrows at her enemies, mostly toying with them. Sunset did the same with her spells, and Shadows area was too covered in darkness to see, but I knew she was wrecking under there.

Someone lunged from behind me, thinking they could hide and get a sneaky kill, but I ducked and slid away on my ice. "Now that's just cold," I said smirking. I suddenly felt my face heat up. I turned to see a decent sized fireball heading my way. This guy. Always laughs at my puns but also attacks me because of how bad they are. Make up your mind, pick a side, stop being so bipolar. "Talk about a heated audience," I said while jumping the fireball. "Yeahhh~, I'm on fire!"

I used my ice to take out the last guy and saw my team finishing others off as well. I smirked, but it quickly faded as I heard loud footsteps behind me. I spun around using my sword to block two massive greatsword just in time. Good thing these goons don't know how to use weapons properly, or I might have actually been overpowered.

Covered in heavy looking gold armor, completely plain but splashed with dry blood. Jumping back I shot another three ice spikes at him, but with a wave of his greatswords the ice was cutoff. I twirled ice around his ankles but his gold armor kicked it off with ease. Strong but probably slow, I can work with that. I got ready to charge, just to see an explosive arrow lodge in the exposed neck piece of his armor, blowing his head from his body. My eyes rolled at the kill steal, but I ran back to regroup with the others.

Eerie noises sounded from behind me as I jogged, causing me to sigh and turn back the other way again. It felt like the moisture was being sucked out of the air and it became a bit harder to breathe. I turned my head slightly to see what was behind me, only to see my mother behind me. She didn't have her usual grin and has never once interrupted one of my missions. I wonder what's up.

"We have a problem."
