Chapter 2

Adams POV

This was by far the strangest mission the overseer has sent me on, I sat on a bench contemplating this mission ignoring many stares from the girls in my class when suddenly Lynn my partner grabbed me by the arm

"hey-" I protested in vain "nu-uh we hardly ever get the chance to relax the monster disguising himself as our vice principal hasn't made his move yet so there's nothing to worry about relax, your body temp is starting to drop again"

she replied cutting me off before I could get another world out as she pulled me onto the dance floor, I felt the beast's eyes focus on me then on two young kids with onyx eyes the boy seemed to be playing with cards and action figures

while the sister sat and watched her little brother nervously like she wasn't comfortable where she was at, or she sensed danger. "And where do you think your looking" Lynn said her voice dangerously sweat and soft a terrifying smile residing on

her face a look that promised pain if I gave the wrong answer.

"Just the two kids over they're the monster has taken an interest in them" I replied quickly it was best not to piss off Shicksal's top S ranked Valkyrie though I can give her quite the run for her money especially after my genes were spliced

with Parvati am emperor class honkai beast at first i couldn't control my body temp but after a few years i managed to get some control now my body temp rests at a chilling 15.8 degrees. I was pulled out of my revere when our vice principal

demanded I come with him Lynn gave our monster guest a look that could kill causing Dr. Thorn to flinch back slightly, but he held strong I had to give him credit there "don't worry I'll be fine see you later".

Percys POV

I saw the manticore walk off ushering the two demigods and a mortal outside I decided to give chase but as soon as i got outside the two kids had a look of fear on their faces while the mortal just staired behind me

"Hey, it's okay I won't hurt you" the mortal made a slight gesture with his index finger, and I realized too late I whirled around only to get grazed by a thorn launched from seemingly nowhere. Dr. Thorn stepped out of the shadows

"You thought you could sneak up on me demigod?" he sneered "follow closely and don't try anything funny or I kill the children and mortal" he said laughing at my plight I followed closely behind walking slowly to buy some time for my friends

to save us "pick up the pace hurry up!" Dr. Thorn demanded "I can't my shoulder hurts and I feal dizzy" I gave a meek reply "bah my toxin only causes pain it does not kill" he responded in turn a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Hahaha you are lucky I haven't received orders to eliminate you, or you'd already be dead"

I gave the mortal boy acting tough a warning look and he responded by giving me a wry smile and winking at me and the kids as if to say he had everything under control, just as I was lost in thought

the monster pulled out a phone "I have the package and ready for pickup" he spoke into the phone "monsters use phones that's new" the mortal quipped "shut it boy" the monster retorted

"Make me" the mortal once again challenged only to receive a blow that again seemed to come from the shadows "urgh-" the mortal was thrown into a nearby tree hitting his head with a sickening crack.

"Ok I'll give you that one, but I've been hit harder five out of ten" he quipped blood running down his face as he got up and joined the rest of us "why are you doing this you won't get a ransom from us we have no family"

the girl said holding onto her brother as if anything could take him from her any second "Haha not to worry girl soon you'll have a new family, you get the honor of taking part in a new age an age without the gods!"

declared the monster "what are you after how do you plan to take down the gods" I asked hoping to get some information from him.

"Haha well you see once we find the bane of Olympus the Olympians will fall" as he finished his rant about the gods a helicopter descended from the clouds its 20mm cannon glowering down menacingly

Dr. thorn smiled "ahh about time" I focused on my empathy link with Grover 'help I'm in danger' several seconds went by and nothing happened when suddenly I felt a force tackle me to the ground

"What are you doing" Dr. Thorn screamed in rage then his screams of rage turned into a scream of pain I looked up and saw Annabeth stab her celestial bronze dagger into the monsters back.

I tried to locate the two demigods and the mortal and saw them take cover behind a tree, I looked back in time to see Thalia join the fight I uncapped riptide and charged

it felt like hours as the battle dragged on, I used my shield to block the monster's incoming thorns effectively destroying my shield that my half-brother Tyson made for me I cringed in pain as I struggled to get up

when suddenly a silver arrow flew past my head and hit Dr. Thorn in the shoulder not even a moment later a hunting horn sounded Dr. Thorns face paled considerably "it's the hunters of Artemis!" Annabeth called out "oh great" was Thalia's response. "This isn't fair I call direct interference"

the monster cried in fear and rage "not so the hunting of all beasts lies in my domain, and you are a beast" a little girl who couldn't be more than twelve or thirteen responded her silver eyes glistening in the moonlight

"Permission to kill milady?" a girl who resembled a Persian princess stepped forward never taking her eyes off her target "permission granted" the twelve-year-old responded

suddenly faster than the hunters of Artemis could react the mortal ran right at the manticore at speeds that left the twelve-year-old girl speechless.

Artemis POV

I watched in shock as the mortal I was supposed to track down bolted to his death before I could stop him, he had already reached the manticore much to the beast's surprise the foolish boy dodged and weaved through the beast's attacks I watched as the boy stopped playing around and landed a

kick on the beast I didn't expect the boy to do any real damage but was instead shocked as the beast went flying into a tree shattering it

the helicopter realizing the situation began firing its pitiful weapon's I watched as my hunters scattered. With a scowl i snapped my fingers and said "mortals are not allowed to witness my hunts"

the helicopter turned into a murder of ravens and flew off in the distance I prepared the same fate for the rest of the male pigs only to see that the boy i was to bring back to camp half-blood had already dispatched them

I turned my attention to the manticore who was now backed against the cliff he held the daughter of Athena hostage "You cannot hope to stop us, your time as rulers is at an end" one of my hunters released an arrow at the lowly beast

"Wait don't-" the mortal boy called out as he dashed forward and intercepted the arrow. I was stunned as were the rest of my girls some had looks of furry on their faces how did this boy do that I pondered

the boy took out two strange looking guns and just as he was about to pull the trigger a roar that sent dread down my spine echoed from the woods and it was close, I could feel the ground shake "it's about time" the mortal said and ran into the forest in the direction of the

unnatural roars.

while the demigods and the hunters were distracted Dr. Thorn took his chance and jumped off the cliff Percy watched in despair as he saw his friend fall of the cliff with the monster "ANNABETH NO!" Percy cried pulling Artemis's attention to the boy who

was about to jump off the ledge "you are in no shape to be jumping off cliffs son of Poseidon" she grabbed his shoulder "let me go I have to save her!" the boy cried refusing to listen "how dare you speak to our mistress with disrespect boy!"

my lieutenant Zoe yelled at the boy and made to hit him " no Zoe he doesn't understand leave him be". The boy came to his senses and asked, "who are you?" "I am Artemis goddess of the moon, hunt, and childbirth"

His face went pale in realization as he figured out who I was just then the mortal came flying out of the forest his head bleeding profusely he was breathing hard that's when the beast came charging out of the forest at speeds that

should've been impossible for something its size the beast stood at least 15 meters' tall with claws so long and sharp they sliced through trees and rocks as if they were butter "I guess I got to stop playing around and rescue the damsels in distress"

the mortal said with a sigh as if this beast wasn't worth his full attention the hunters including Artemis herself growled in response.

Lynn POV

I ran as fast as I could into the clearing where the signal was coming from and watched in horror as my partner Adam fought the emperor class Honkai beast alone I watched as he dodged and weaved in a dance of death the air seemed to freeze

around him I gripped my lance tightly and prepared to jump in and bail him out of trouble when he finally landed the killing blow disintegrating the best with his divine key judgment of shamash I proceeded to sneak up behind the girls in bright silver parkas

I was 100 meters away when I saw all the girl's level their bows at him. Anger flashed through me I prepared to deal with the girl who was the leader giving her aura she was probably one of the gods the overseer warned us about I charged

stopping just short of the goddess's back "lower your weapon's now" I demanded anger visible on my face "Hey Lynn long time no see huh?" Adam asked me innocently I took in his features and the blood that ran down his face drenching his left side red

I glared at him concerns building up in my chest 'what happened, how bad is he hurt, is he going to die, he looks cute covered in blood... wait that's not important!' I shook my head a light blush spread across my cheeks. The girls put their weapons down after

being implored to do so by their leader with begrudging complaints "stupid male pig" one of the girls said and stalked off to set up a camp I ran to Adam and embraced him in a bone crushing hug ignoring his cries of protests he was easily -20 degrees

i ignored the slight pain as his body temp slowly went back to the chilly 15.8 degrees, I took him to a nearby tent and used my lance to heal his injury's and gave him a rag and his uniform to change into. One of the hunters walked in while he was changing

she gave a look of disgust and reached for her knife she never made it, I closed the distance faster than she could react and kicked her out of the tent sending her flying "someone's in a bad mood" Adam replied cheekily now fully dressed and just in time as

the leader of the young girls walked in a less than pleased look on her face. I gave Adam a look that said this isn't over as the girl spoke "I am Artemis goddess of the hunt, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't harm my hunters" the girl now known as Artemis said

in a steely tone "then don't attack my partner because of his gender" I retorted Artemis sighed "Regardless I am to take the boy to camp half-blood come if you must, but I won't tolerate him flirting with my hunters"

I glared at Adam. "What's this about you flirting with a bunch of little girls" I growled out inches away from pounding his face into a bloody mess the healing him again "hey I never flirted with anyone I may not be the smartest but I'm not suicidal"

Adam declared a worried smile a crossed his face that made him look even cuter I squashed that thought as quick as it appeared "Hmmm fine I'll let you off the hook but remember this you are mine and mine alone" I said giving him a quick peck on the cheek

and walking out of the tent "a shame she would make an excellent hunter" I heard the goddess mutter to herself as I exited the tent.

I soon found myself by the campfire one of the hunters offered me a cup of hot chocolate with a smile and walked off I sighed content in the warmth of the fire "you should ditch the male and join the hunter's, you would make an excellent hunter"

the girl named Zoe said sitting beside me "no thank you I am content to share my life with Adam thank you for the offer but no" I stated "but why he is a filthy male pig he will betray you for another girl as soon as he gets the chance if he hasn't already done so!"

Zoe shouted dismayed that I rejected her offer so easily "you know its rude to talk about people behind their backs, right?" Adam said dressed in his Shicksal uniform (looks like Kevins from honkai impact)

I smiled at Adam as he took a seat next to me, I took a sip of the hot chocolate and cringed "is it too sweet?" Adam asked I nodded and handed him the paper cup witch immediately started to freeze in his hand. "Awwww i was going to drink that"

he pouted at his now frozen treat I sighed and gave him a hug enjoying the chill that enveloped my body I noticed the stares of disapproval and in response I smiled innocently at the hunters

"uuugh my brother is so lazy in the winter" I heard Artemis complaining about her brother I looked over and noticed the raven-haired boy talking to the children they had saved the youngest kid was busy discussing his card game

when I heard Artemis say "finally" just as a sports car that radiated heat land "don't look at him yet he needs to change form" Artemis said i took her advice not wanting to be blinded by the bright light that followed shortly after

a wave of heat washed over me.

"Hey little sister you called" Apolo said as he exited his car observing the looks of wonder, awe, and in the hunter's case despair "for the last time Apolo I am older than you I helped mother give birth to you"

Artemis retorted slightly annoyed "I need you to give my hunters and the campers along with the mortals a ride to camp half-blood" Artemis said getting ready to head off on her own "but Milady, we hate it there don't you remember last time?"

Zoe protested only to receive a short reply in return "don't worry I'm sure Dionisis will have forgiven you by know besides I hear that the campers rebuilt the cabins you girls burned down, it is your right to use my cabin whenever you visit camp"

Artemis responded curtly running off into the woods leaving an exasperated Zoe behind, "so who wants to drive?" asked an amused Apollo
