I am so sorry about the wait. And I could probably think of a million and one excuses, but I'm not even going to try and write them down. but I would like you to know I am NOT abandoning this story anytime soon. Even if it takes me an entire month to write a new chapter you can trust I will be back. You can't get rid of me that easy. I would also like to thank everyone who has stayed with me even though my updates are kind of ever where. So here it is chapter 5.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC all other OC's are owned by other people that I don't want to write down so just go look at the OC's wanted add.
Chapter 5: So...We're Under Attack
Raiden's POV (Raiden Tachibana's OC)
I had just returned from a nine month mission and I get back to be told I'm in charge of The Knights, because the commanders had gone to EARTH (a place they despised) and were now at the half-blood camp (a place they would never go by chose). None of this is making any sense to me. It's like some sick joke. Like they're just pulling my tail (and I mean that literally).
"Raiden?" I was pulled out of my thoughts by a voice coming from my pocket. I reached inside and pulled out my looking glass. The looking glass is the way we communicate on the base. Everyone in the Knights has a small handheld version of the one Chaos has. It was actually invented by one of our team members. Trixie Myst (Lady Loophole's OC) had come up with the idea and Chaos had helped her build the system. It kind of worked like an Iris Message, but you didn't have to make an offering. Just say the name of the person your looking for and they appear in your looking glass. But its alot more advanced than IMing, because you can only contact someone with a looking glass and they don't just pop up out of no were. It was just more efficient.
When I looked down at mine I was greeted by the face of Chaos, my father.
"Yes father?"
Chaos gave me a look that I couldn't decipher. It seemed to be a mixture of panic, shock, and...confusion?
"Meet me in my office," was all he said before cutting off the connection. Leaving me staring at my own reflection.
Time skip Max speaking. How's it going? Hey if your on team Bob don't be. Go team Max! 5 minutes later.
I stood outside my fathers office door. It was really more of a throne room than an office, but he preferred it to be called an office. I knocked on the large oak door and waited. Everyone knew you never entered Chaos's office without permission. If it took him hours to answer you waited. No one was stupid enough to break that rule.
"You may enter," my father's voice echoed threw the silent hall even with the door closed. I pushed open the heavy oak doors like they were made of paper. My father sat on his throne. his royal robes flowing over the sides. Planets and stars moved across them in an almost entrancing way. His golden sword aio̱nióti̱ta, eternity in Greek, hung at his side, and a golden crown sat on the table beside him. I walked forward and stood in front of his throne, but I didn't bow. He refused to let us bow.
He smiled at me, but it was stiff and didn't reach his eyes like usual,"Raiden do you know why I've called you here?"
"No, sir," I replied.
He closed his eyes in concentration," as you know our commanders have gone to Earth to assist the Olympians and their children, something I would never ask of them unless it was a dire situation, and you have been assigned to lead The Knights until they are needed,"his voice was emotionless, I nodded,"this new threat... its gathering followers. I've felt it. Whatever this threat is its powerful. More powerful than I or any of us anticipated, and its rising faster than I expected. I fear the commanders will not be able to fight against it alone. I want you to keep a close eye on this and if anything happens inform me at once and take the team down to Earth."
"You think the threats followers are going to attack the demi-god camp," it was more of a statment than a question.
He nodded," yes, but we must be careful of when we make ourselves known. We never know if its real of just a trick to get the Knights out of the dark."
I nodded.
"Please go inform the team they may need to leave sooner than planned. I must call the commanders."
I nodded," yes father." I left without another word.
Max again. Have you seen my pet unicorn Steve? He's purple with pink strips and a blue horn. No. Oh well. Time skip 20 min.
Raiden's POV
I stood outside the door of our meeting room. The place Chaos first took his recruits and offered them a place in The Knights. I was there for everyone of them. Even the children of the so called 'Big Three'.
Flashback
Chaos had told me to meet him in the meeting room on the west side of the base. Of course it was smaller back then and not as modern, but it was all we needed considering it was just the two of us. Of so I thought.
I had no idea my father had planned on making a team or that he planned on making me apart of it, so I was surprised when I walked in the room to see my father talking to five other deim-gods. There were 3 boys and 2 girls.
One of the boys had messy hair as black as the night sky and eyes as green as the looked to be 16 maybe 17. He wore an orange t-shirt with the words Camp Half-Blood printed on the front with the image of a pegasus underneath. He had on plain blue jeans and dark blue sneakers that were stained with what looked like blood.
The second boy had short cropped lightning blond hair and eyes the color of the sky on a clear blue day. He looked to be around 15 or 16. He wore a dark purple t-shirt with the letters SPQR printed on it with a half writhe around it. He also wore a pair of jeans and a pair of dark purple sneakers. His outfit was perfect not a hair out of place.
The last boy had wild midnight black hair and eyes like bottomless pits. He looked to be around 14-15 years old. He wore a simple black t-shirt with a ratty old avatar jacket over it. With a pair of ripped black jeans and combat boots.
The first girl had cinnamon brown hair that fell over her shoulders in perfect waves and startling golden eyes. She looked to be about 12 maybe 13. She had on the same purple shirt as the second boy, but she wore a jean skirt instead of actual jeans, and she had on brown knee high leather riding boots instead of sneakers.
Then their was the last girl. She has spiky jet black hair with electric blue highlights and startling electric blue eyes. She looked to be 16-17 years old. She wore a black t-shirt that had the words death to Barbie on it with a picture of Barbie with an arrow threw her head. She wore an old worn leather jacket and black ripped up jeans. She had on black leather riding boots and she had so many bracelets on her wrists I was surprised she could even lift a bow.
And she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
When I walked in the room they all turned towards me. The demi-gods looked confused as if they hadn't expected anyone else to be here. But my father just smiled warmly at me.
"Ahh Raiden there you are."
I tore my eyes away from the new comers and turned to my father.
"Hello father," I heard a few muffled gasps from behind me but I payed them no mind,"not to be rude, but who are they," I nodded towards the five demi-gods sitting around the small table in the meeting room that may have once been a broom closet.
Chaos just smiled in return," Raiden please sit and I will explain everything."
I took the only empty seat, that just happened to be next to the pretty girl with the electric blue eyes. Chaos explained everything about the team he was creating and how he needed our help to do it.
Needless to say we all excepted his offer without hesitation. But that was the day everything changed for the better. The day The Knights came to be.
End of Flashback
I shook my head to rid it of those thoughts, and I walked into the meeting room. Now twice the size it was before with a large oak table in the middle and 33 chairs around it.
I took my seat in the front were Chaos normally sits," as you all know our commanders have been sent to the demi-god camp on Earth to help them fight this new threat, but my father fears this threat is gathering followers. If this is true the first place they will attack is the half blood camp where the commanders are. Chaos fears they won't be enough to defeat this threat. We may have to leave earlier than planned. You might want to pack your things and grab your armor. If this threat arrives at the camp we are to inform Chaos and leave right away. Now get packing."
They looked slightly confused, but didn't question and left to go pack. I slumped down in my chair. Why were we helping the Gods anyways? They didn't seem to need our help when they banished or shunned anyone on our team? They didn't seem to need Chaos when they banished him from Earth!
How were we supposed to work with any of these people. If the Gods children were anything like their parents than we were in trouble.
I sighed and stood up to leave, but the second I walked out the door sirens started blaring and the red emergency light started blinking. I ran down the hall towards Chaos's office. We needed to leave now.
Bob again its time to take the magic donkey portal back to tooth fairy land. Or was it Camp Half-Blood. I'm always mixing the two up. Go team Bob! Team Max is for losers.
Percy's POV
When I walked into the Chaos cabin I immediately did a double take. There was a door on our left that lead to the living room. The couches were made of black leather with two recliners. There was a flat screen TV hanging on the wall and next to it there was a black looking glass with golden gems weaved into was another door in front of us witch I'm guessing lead to the bathroom. And on our right there was a spiral stair case. The bedrooms were probably up stairs.
"Woah," Jason said behind me as he pulled his hood down," Chaos has out done himself this time."
I walked over to the staircase and climbed up a few of the glass steps," your telling me."
"Thank you but I think I could have done better," we all turned towards the looking glass and saw Chaos smiling at them, but his eyes betrayed him. They showed how worried he was, they showed that he hadn't slept in days, and how truly scared he was. His smile was stiff not warm and inviting and it didn't quite reach his eyes.
We all sat around the looking glass in the living room. Thalia, Hazel, and Nico on the couch with Jason and I on the recliners.
"It's good to see all of you like your temporary home, but we have a problem on our hands."
"What kind of problem?" I asked.
From there Chaos explained to us about the threat gathering followers and how the Knights might be appearing sooner than expected.
"Do you have any ideas of what this new threat might be?"
Chaos shook his head,"not yet, but I'm working on it. I have to go good luck. I'll be checking in soon." He cut the connection as the dinner horn was blown outside.
I stood from my seat,"come on we better get down there. Chiron will probably want us to introduce ourselves to the camp." The others sighed but stood anyways.
Max here. I need you to put your hands on your head dance like a monkey and eat a tomato. Then I'll tell you it takes them 5 minutes to walk to the dinning pavilion. Styx I just ruined it didn't I. Oh well. Team Max for the win!
Percy's POV
The second we stepped foot in the dinning pavilion everything was quiet, and all eyes were on us. We ignored the stars and made our way to the golden table in the dark corner. Why it was golden, I had no idea. It was the only unoccupied table in the entire pavilion.
The talking started back up again not 2 minutes after we sat down. A wind nymph came by and handed us our plates. She giggled and a gust of wind blew her away.
We all began to eat our food, and just as we were about to start desert Chiron stood from his seat and stomped his hoof on the ground. Everything went quiet once again.
"I'm sure you've all noticed the...visitors by now," Chiron said," they have come to assist us in the new war that is brewing. They work with Lord Chaos. They are the commanders of his team. I will now let them introduce themselves."
I stood from my seat,"I'm Tidal Wave and these are my companions Electric Storm,"I pointed at Jason," Shadow Hunter," Nico,"Electra," Thalia," and Gem," Hazel," as Chiron said we are the commanders of Chaos's team. Chaos sent us first to evaluate your fighting skills and help you improve them. We would like you to continue with your usual activities as if we weren't here. We will be observing your classes and seeing what needs improving." I then sat down and Chiron spoke again.
"Thank you Tidal Wave, I do hope you and your companions will be able to join us in our capture the flag game on Friday," a cheer echoed through the pavilion,"now let us go and enjoy the camp fire." There was another cheer and the campers stood and ran to the campfire.
"So do we go to the campfire or back to the cabin?" Thalia asked.
We all shared a look,"cabin," we said in unison.
Max is back. I still can't find Steve. He looks exactly like the unicorn on my left. Have you seen him. No? Oh well guess I'll just make mare missing unicorn posters. 6 hours later.
Percy's POV
I was woken up at 3 am by the sound of a conch shell.
One horn. Council meeting?
No it was 3 am only the night watch was awake.
Two horns. Someone returning from a quest?
Possible, but not likely.
Three horns. The camp was under attack!
I jumped out of bed put on clothes and my hood and raced out of the cabin. My cousins right behind me. We ran to Thalia's tree with inhumane speed. But stopped dead in our tracks when we saw what was there.
An army, and leading it was something truly grusome.
I'd like to say this chapter is not exactly how I would have liked it, but this is how it turned out so yah sorry. I will be back soon and the OC's will arrive in the next chapter. I hope you aren't mad at me for not updating for such a long time. I thank you for not leaving me and staying with my story. Oh and before I forget I would like to ask if any of you would like to help me make a cover page for my story. If you are up for the job PM me please. And thanks again for not giving up on this story. One more question. Are you on team Bob or team Max? Okay till next time Miss. Magic Girl signing off.
