AN: Hey guys I will keep this short because lately my ANs have been pretty long. I just wanted to say thank you for the continued support on this fanfic I certainly wasn't expecting it, I love you all, and with that, have a great day and enjoy :)

(Hunters Camp, Percy POV)

I stepped into Artemis' tent and saw her fidgeting nervously. When I got in she looked up, anger and relief on her face. "Where have you been!?" she reprimanded and before I got to answer that I had come to her tent barely a minute after she called me, she waved her hand, dismissing my excuse before I even managed to utter a syllable. "Never mind, I need you to find Thalia, she is missing and I must go to an emergency meeting that Zeus called just now," she said before shooing me out of her tent and disappearing in a bright silver flash.

I stepped out and began to trudge towards the hill in which I saw her going to last. I had just crested the hill when I saw a blurry object zoom towards me. It was going to fast for me to dodge, and whatever it was it would be impossible to deflect with a sword, but an idea popped into my mind as I remembered the training I did with Artemis. I closed my eyes and hoped to Hades this would work.

I felt the shadows begin to swirl around me as the familiar darkness settled in, and I felt them tugging and pulling me in all sorts of directions. After a split second I managed to overpower them. I reached into the darkness and felt myself get lost in the shadows and reappeared a few feet to the right, just in time too, as the object imbedded itself into a tree and blew a five inch hole into it.

I was able to notice that it was an arrow, before I heard a twang and I dropped to the ground as another arrow rushed above me, blowing another hole in another tree.

I got up and pulled out my silver blade. I noticed that the arrows were peculiarly made of ice with an Oceanic silver tip. I looked back at the direction from whence the arrows came.

What I saw rattled me with fear. A figure made of ice and swirling water with blazing silver eyes dressed in watery silver armor was standing in front of a horde of ice monsters. The armor covered its torso and shoulders, but the arms and legs were left unguarded. It was holding a bow that had been painstakingly carved with beautiful depictions of the sea and power of the ocean.

I noticed a strange mist was emanating from the bow, and only then did I sense the power coming off the woman. She was so strong her strength was palpable. I gulped, taking a step back and readying my blade.

The monsters began to howl and charge, but the woman raised her hand and they all stopped. She turned to me, before raising the bow once more.

The figure drew back the bow string and an arrow manifested in position, aiming right at my heart. She let the arrow fly as I raised my sword, just barely blocking its path. A small explosion sounded as I was blown back by the force of the arrow.

I landed several feet away, my sword skidding to a halt near her feet. I saw her pull back again, but this time I was ready. I pulled out my trusty pen and uncapped it, releasing Riptide and flung myself to the side, an arrow flying past me. I charged at her, but she drew the bow calmly, before firing again. I deflected the arrow by tilting my sword at an angle so it would ricochet off the bronze blade and into a nearby tree.

'Poor trees,' I thought as I reached the icy woman. She raised her hand to the sky and the watery hand detached itself and wrapped itself around my leg, before freezing my leg to the ground.

She then slowly bent down and picked up my silver blade that was at her feet. She got up, looking at me with the first emotion she had shown since the very beginning, a sneer manifested as she swung the blade at my head.

I brought up Riptide so that it was slightly diagonal, her blade hit the flat of my blade and slid down quickly, stopping only when it pounded into the ice, smashing the ice that kept me stuck into pieces.

I broke free of the few remaining shards and swung my celestial bronze blade at her shoulder, which managed to connect but the silver armor she wore deflected the blow.

I growled, before tackling her to the ground and began to wrestle the blade from her. Big mistake. She easily overpowered me, then smashed the hilt into my nose, and I heard a crack as agonizing pain shot through my skull.

I got up shakily and saw her holding her bow again, an arrow drawn and pointing at my head. I gave up all hope, knowing that I would not be able to raise my blade in time, not in this weakened state.

The arrow began to fly when a crackling spear intercepted it head on. Spear and arrow met, and with a deafening explosion the arrow shattered the spear, before falling two feet short of me and burying itself in the ground. Clarisse's spear, I noticed after seeing the red electricity. I then heard shouts of alarm as I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders.

"Percy are you Ok?" Clarisse asked, worry in her eyes. I nodded my head, still recovering from the shock. She noticed my nose and chuckled. "Damn, they got you good," she said, reaching in her bag and handing me a square of ambrosia and a bottle of water.

I put the square in my mouth and raised the water and had it begin to heal my nose. Unfortunately, I couldn't heal a completely broken nose with water just like that. I had fixed the most painful parts, but the pain was still there, albeit dull.

I stood up, feeling Riptide in my pocket. I uncapped it and began to walk cautiously towards the woman. The hunters had begun attacking the ice monsters, only to have their arrows bounce off harmlessly. If that continued they would all be slaughtered.

"Go inform the hunters of how to kill those things," I said getting in position to deflect an arrow or blade sent my way.

She looked at me with worry. "I can't leave you here alone," she said, but I glared at her. "The hunters will die," I spat acidly as hurt flashed across her eyes at my tone. She composed herself and began running towards the hunters screaming, "Shoot at the eyes!"

I smiled, turning back to the woman that was now running at me with the silver blade. I anticipated her blow and our blades met in a flash of sparks. She slashed at my chest and I jumped back, before stabbing at her arm. My blade connected, but did not penetrate the ice at all. Not even a scratch was left.

With a flick of her wrist she disarmed me, my blade flying through the air and managing to impale a monster in the eye, melting it. She then began to walk towards me, as I took several steps backward, before backing myself into a tree.

She had reached me and was about to impale me when I saw Clarisse running up behind her stealthily. As she was advancing she noticed mist rising from the ground near her.

She bent down and picked up the bow, the mist bow swirling across her body. She pulled back the string, and I bent my knees quickly so that I was in crouching position. The arrow was released just as the figure slammed the blade to where I has just been standing.

The arrow hit her and she was thrown face first into the tree. I managed to excavated myself and found an arrow imbedded into her back. I looked and saw it wasn't the arrow, but the tip that was in her back.

She stood up, her hand melting in water and going to the arrow, before pulling it out. Then the hand reattached itself and solidifying. A blur of motion was the only thing one could describe her with as she rushed at Clarisse. I thrust Riptide to my right, because she would have to pass me to get to Clarisse, and was rewarded when she fell to the side, knocked off balance by my unexpected blow.

Clarisse drew and fired, this time impaling her in the shoulder. The woman growled, before rising quickly and slashing at me. I parried, before jabbing my blade at her hand. My blade lodged itself in the small space between her hand and sword. The sword flew from her hand and landed at the feet of Madeline, who was backed into a boulder by a monster near us.

She quickly grabbed the blade and shoved it deep into the dracaena's eye. It melted and she looked at me with relief. I smiled, although I had no control over the blades landing. She looked at the woman and slowly crept behind her. I distracted the ice being by slashing at her face. She brought up her arm and took the blow, the blade barely digging into her icy skin. Her eyes widened as a silver blade ripped through her chest, Madeline behind her grinning from ear to ear.

Madeline's grin faded as the woman whirled around and slammed her fist in my sisters face. She reached behind her and wrenched the blade from her back.

She turned to the monsters, Ichor pouring from her wound. She raised her hand, and three monsters melted immediately, the water flying to her wound and freezing over.

Fortunately, she couldn't do anything about the hole in her armor, but unfortunately she didn't need to as her skin would be able to withstand a blow from most blades.

I looked at the hole in her armor in awe. How Madeline managed to make a hole in Oceanic silver armor I had no idea. But I couldn't think about that now, my sister was in danger.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Clarisse throwing the bow down in rage, holding one of the manifested arrows in her clenched fist. She rushed at the woman, and repeatedly stabbed her in the neck.

After getting stabbed several times she shrieked in rage and whirled around, grabbing the arrow with her icy hand and crumbling it to pieces.

She punched Clarisse hard, which knocked her back several feet before landing on the ground with a permeating thud. She walked over to the daughter of Ares and picked her up, throwing her into a boulder.

I picked up the bow and shot her in the back. She turned around quickly, and I prayed to Artemis and Apollo and whatever other deity of archery there was, and released the string.

By some miracle, or the blessing of the gods and goddesses, I struck her in the eye. She howled, Ichor pouring out of her like an overflowing beaker.

Then I felt an overwhelming power. "Help us my lord!" I heard in my mind, recognizing the sound of fish. I suddenly realized that the woman was fighting against my power over water over a small lake that was nearby.

I didn't know it was there, but it had automatically latched on to my power because I was the first controller of water in the vicinity when we came to make camp. Well, other than my sister, but I was stronger than her.

I felt my gut wrench when the water was wrestled out of my control. The water descended upon us as she began to heal herself. I knew there was no way I'd be able to take back control of the water.

(Hunter's Camp, Artemis POV)

I flashed to camp and saw that there was no one. I then noticed there were the shouts and roars and the usual mayhem you hear in battles somewhere beyond the hill I told Percy to go to. Knowing full well that between Thalia and Percy anything could happen, I knew they were connected.

I rushed over and began to probe the area with my senses as began to climb the hill. I froze immediately, sensing something I haven't felt for centuries. I checked again, and knew without a shadow of a doubt I was right.

The feeling I now felt was one I had only felt around my roman counterpart, but it was slightly warped. It felt mostly the same but something was off from her aura. For one she was radiating insane amounts of power. I felt a headache form. 'Of course something like this would happen when I'm gone, I was only gone ONE HOUR!' I thought as rage collected in my mind.

AN: There you go, chapter 9. Hope you enjoyed, and just wanted to say that the Romans are not done in this fanfic, that they are only just beginning to become a main part of this story. Now, all of Olympus is in danger. Mwahahahaha. As always have a good day and thank you for reading ;)
