Okay, first off I am truly sorry for not updating last week, or the week before that. But this time you might accept one of my excuses. The Blood Of Olympus came out, and when I finally got my hands on a copy I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. So there you have it. But I promise you I an really sorry for putting this off. But You'll be happy to know when I finished the book I went back to writing this, it jut took longer than I expected. But its here now and I hope you guys like it. Thanks for not giving up on me.

But before I go I must do one more thing. Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC, all rights go to Rick Riordan and a bunch of other Fanfiction authors I;m to lazy to write down. Okay now you can go read, well what are you waiting for, GO!

Chapter 9: Trouble Part 2

Jason's POV

The six of us sat on the black leather couch, Chaos sat in front of us on a reclining chair of the same kind. We sent the other Knights out, probably not the best idea but it was the only thing we could think of, saying we had to talk to Chaos via Looking Glass. But he had other ideas. So here we are.

"What do you need to tell us?" Percy asked,"it must be important since you lost your temper with the Olympians."

Chaos sighed and leaned back into the chair. Rubbing his forehead he spoke," last night when you fought the Vrykolakas and Mnemosyne's army I saw something."

"You had a vision?" Hazel asked,"like last time?"

Chaos smiled grimly,"I'm sorry to say my dear, but it was much much worse than last time."

Worse than last time? Worse than last time? How could anything be worse than last time. Last time Chaos had a vision it was of half the universe being destroyed and the only way to stop it was for us to fight in a war where many that stood with us died both Knights and others. How could anything possibly be worse than that.

"What did you see?" I didn't want to know none of us did, but if Chaos was telling us about it we needed to know.

He looked each of us over with a grim face, and my heart sank into my stomach," Mnemosyne is just a pawn on a rather large chess board. The plan was so complicated I barely understood it myself, but I know its centered around us. They plan to take us down then strike Olympus when its at its weakest. Right now we're the only thing standing between them and world domination," he took a deep breath and continued,"when Thalia and Raiden were fighting I saw the two of them in the forest searching for Artemis and her hunters. I don't know why but I suggest the two of you pack for a long trip. I saw Jason, Hazel, and Nico here training the campers for what lies ahead. But when I saw Percy things started to go out of focus all that was there was him with a sword then nothing."

I glanced over at Percy who was sitting on the other side of the couch with a stumped expression. I turned back to Chaos,"was there anything else?"

"No, it was like something was blocking the connection."

"And your sure this sword wasn't Riptide?"

Chaos shook his head,"I don't know it may have been, but it didn't seem to radiate the same power. I'm afraid thats all I know, now I must go there's something wrong with Base Chaos's levitation devices and I have to figure out what's wrong with it before Base falls out of the sky and crashes on Earth," and with that he was gone.

We all glanced at each other, but before any of us could even open our mouths the cabin door burst open.

Bob is here to say its time for pizza. So you should go so I can eat. Wait what's this spelled out in the pepperoni. Oh, it says Team Bob for the win!

Natsu Shiro's (tigrun's OC) POV

"I think this is all just a big wast of our time and we should just go home," Meitte's voice rang out loud and clear in the damp cave. Water dripped from the ceiling and and to the floor with an obnoxious drip drip drip. There was no light this far back in the cave, but that was how we preferred it some times. Like when we want to talk with anyone ease dropping, it happens more often than you think, and when we were kicked out of the cabin we thought it was the perfect time to go find a quiet place away from everyone else.

The four of us sat in a loose circle in the back of the cave. It was cold and damp and there was barley any light, but we liked it like that. When we were in places like this we could just be ourselves without having to worry about anything. It was perfect.

"Hey Natsu," I looked over to my left and saw Alice looking at me intently.

"What?"Instead of getting angry with me she just rolled her eyes. In the dim light I could just make out her wavy black hair and brown eyes.

"I was saying that this may not be such a bad thing after all, I mean yes we all hate the campers, and well the camp in-general, but maybe this could be good for us. I mean, we never get out unless we go on missions, but of course there was that one time..."she started going on and on, straying farther and farther from the topic. See here's the thing about Alice she has a tendency to ramble sometimes. We've all gotten use to it, but it gets kind of annoying after a while.

"Alice!"she stopped mid sentence, and turned to me,"can you please get to the point?"

Her face flushed,"I meant to say, maybe we can show them that we're not what they think."

I smiled a little, kind and reassuring,"I wish it were that simple...but I don't think-OW!" The last part came out involuntarily when a wad of paper hit the side of my head,"Zain! What was that for!?" I turned to glare at the son of Thanatos, who just rolled his eyes and pointed at the paper that now sat in my lap.

I picked it up and smoothed it out against the floor. It was so dark I could barely make out the greek lettering.

I hear something. Its coming from the forest.

I looked up with a raised eyebrow. I didn't hear anything, but that didn't necessarily mean there wasn't anything there. As much as I hate to admit it Zain hears better than the rest of us. So he probably did hear something that we would only be able to hear when we were right next to it.

"Well what do you want us to do about it?" I asked handing the note to Alice who passed it to Miette.

He looked at me in a way that clearly read. Isn't it obvious? Then seeing that I still didn't get it pointed out the cave entrance to towards the forest below.

He wanted to go looking for it!? The logical part of me said no bad idea, don't go wandering around places you don't know about. But the adventurous side said danger, monsters, possible chance of injury, lets go now!

Easy enough to say adventure won.

Max is here people! So I know I haven't been around for awhile but I was busy with my plans to take over the world...I mean finding Steve. Who's still missing by the way. (Turns to the right and sees the unicorn) Um uh um...oh I give up this is a time skip to when they're in the forest. STEVE I'M NOT LETTING YOU RULE CANADA!

We followed the over gown trail through the forest. It looked like it hadn't been walked on in years.

That's weird, I thought, it wasn't like this when we first started.

As Zain lead us farther into the woods I got this uncomfortable feeling that something was wrong. I shook it off. Probably nothing. But I couldn't help but think there was something wrong about this place.

The way the trees were slightly burned, how the grass changed from a bright healthy green to a sickly yellow, and as we walked farther there didn't seem to be a single living, not a plant or animal. And the feeling was back, stronger than ever. There was something wrong with this part of the forest. Something very very wrong.

I glanced behind me, and saw both Miette and Alice looked uneasy about this to. I turned back and put my hand on Zain's shoulder turning him to face me. Only his eyes were visible through his ninja mask.

"You sure this is the right was,"he nodded, and turned back around, there wasn't a trace of fear on his face.

We walked a little longer until he stopped. I looked around, but I didn't see anything, but rotting trees and dead grass.

Miette spoke from behind me,"what's going on?" But before I could respond Zain held up his hand, signaling for silence. We stood there for what felt like forever. Not moving or speaking. Just standing.

I was about to suggest that we give up and head back to camp or the cave when I heard it. A faint buzzing sound that you wouldn't have heard unless you were listening for it. Zain set off again, this time to the left, off the trail, and towards the noise. We ran after him, only to run into him two seconds latter.

He was staring at something in front of him. I glanced around him and I immediately wished I hadn't. In front if us was a clearing. The trees looked like they had been uprooted by some kind of giant, the grass was almost the color of dirt, but the worst part was the giant pile of rocks. But that wasn't the problem.

No, the problem was that the pile was moving.

Bob says hello again. He also says he told you that Max is trying to take over the world. Don't let the world go to Max vote Bob! STEVE GO AWAY! NO I WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO CANADA!?

Ira's POV(RollingUpHigh's OC)

"Liam don't you dare!" I screamed as my twin brother held me over the edge of the cliff,"Liam!" He just laughed like he found this funny, he probably did.

"I thought you were a Jumper!" he yelled,"don't you do things like this all the time."

"Come on Liam put her down already,"Aveline huffed, she was only ten but already more mature than my brother and I,"I'm tired of hearing you two tell at each other!"

Liam rolled his eyes,"come on Ave I was only joking,"but he put me down anyways. When I regained my balance I wiped around and punched him in the gut.

He groaned and fell forward holding his stomach,"don't you dare ever do that again,"my voice was deathly calm, but my eyes blazed with anger.

He looked up at me with a smile despite still being on his hands and knees,"I didn't...know my...sister couldn't...take a joke,"he wheezed.

I glared and opened my mouth to retort, but before I could someone cut in.

"If you two are done acting like three year olds,"a voice said from behind us,"I think we should do something besides sit here," I turned and saw Willow looking at us with a rather exasperated expression,"not that watching the two of you fight isn't entertaining, but I think we can do better." One thing I've learned from being it the Knights, never, and I mean NEVER pick a fight with Willow, you will lose...miserably.

So thats why we are now walking threw camp, our hoods up, looking for something to do. I didn't think it was such a good idea, but everyone else agreed that it was better than just sitting around doing nothing. We weren't sure what to do, until we came across the volleyball courts. Now none of us are particularly good at volleyball, but its something to do.

We started off the game, Liam, Cynthia,and I on one team and Willow, Aveline, and Callie on the other. Liam server... and the war started.

We were all determine not to let the other team score a point. It was all going well, we were still on the first serve after ten minutes. Every now and then a camper would pass by and watch, but they wouldn't stay long, too scared I guess. But when Cynthia hit the ball to hard, and it flew out of the court landing on the ground and rolling to a stop at a camper's feet, it didn't go too well.

All Liam did was ask him to throw the ball back, but apparently the camper didn't like that. He yelled back that he wouldn't touch something a demi-titan and a demi-prime had touched. Well, that didn't sit to well with us, and we yelled back a few insults, they weren't bad really, but the camper didn't like that, and things only got worse when some of his buddies showed up.

I guess that explains why I'm fighting a boy three times bigger than my. Why Liam has the first kid in a head lock one move of his arm and the kids dead. It also explains why Cynthia has a boy twice her size pinned to the ground. The reason Callie's on another's back beating him over the head with her sword. And why Willow's wrestling with another boy. Oh, and did I mention the campers surrounding us. Yep, this mission is going sooooo well (did you catch the sarcasm?).

Bob again, and he's hiding from the unicorn. Bob thinks Steve is going crazy. He's obsessed with Canada, it scares me. But do you know what Bob thinks, he thinks that Max promised Steve he could rule Canada, when Max takes over the world, and now Steve wants to go see what he gets to rule over. Bad Steve!

Damian's POV (TheSilverboar's OC)

Unlike the other's, who ran off as soon as they were out of the cabin. But we, decided it would be a good idea to get started on what we came here to do. Evaluate the campers.

Not the most interesting thing in the world, and we would much rather have been doing something else, but not everything we do is completely insane. The six of us stood in a shadow near the arena, our hoods up covering our faces. We didn't want them to see us, because if they did they would take there training differently. Trying to show each other up, not listening to the instructor, and paying more attention to us than their opponent. We wouldn't get an honest evaluation of their skills, so we hide, far enough away so they wouldn't see us, but close enough so we could see the arena. Yah we'd done this once or twice.

"This is pathetic," Jacey muttered to my left, as one of the kids tried, and failed, to disarm his opponent,"just pathetic." The instructor stepped in, a girl from the Ares cabin with brown hair and brown eyes, and tried to show the kid the correct way to hold the sword, but the kid just couldn't get it.

"I couldn't agree more,"I shook my head, these people weren't ready for war, they couldn't even hold their swords the right way.

"Well than why don't we just go in and show them," Mark spoke from behind us, I didn't even need to look back to know he was reaching for his sword.

"We were told to evaluate first,"Jacey said,"then teach." The kid lifted his sword again, only to drop it the next second. I shook my head, these people needed serious help.

"Lets just get out of here,"Trixy spoke from my right,"before I have to gouge my own eyes out."

I turned and looked at her with a raised eyebrow, of course she couldn't see it, but she seemed to get what I meant, and rolled her eyes. But she couldn't blame me, she was usually the least violent one in the group.

"Better than watching this train wreck," Isabell on the other hand.

Skylar looked towards the forest with a longing expression,"I hear this forest is packed with monsters," he looked back at us,"maybe we could take a short break."

I looked back at the arena, the instructor had moved on to another kid, who seemed to be having trouble lifting her spear,"I think thats a great idea."

Max here and I would just like to say, whatever Bob's been telling you. Its not true, I do not want to take over the world, just a small part of. Wait no I don't! I should probably leave before I do anymore damage to my chances of winning the vote. If I do win I will take over the rest of the world. Dang it pretend I didn't say that! Time skip to when they enter the forest.

Well our brake was going well until we came across something we were never meant to see, but that seems to happen a lot.

We had been walking through the forest, tracking what we believed to be a giant scorpion. When we heard something, walking closer we realized it was voices. Three people talking to each other. We quickly took cover behind a group of trees.

"-ruin everything,"the first voice said, it sounded male.

"Your over reacting," a second voice spoke, another male,"every thing's going according to plan, they believed Mnemosyne is running things didn't they? They think we want to help them don't they?"

"Speaking of,"a female this time,"you two aren't doing a great job of 'helping'. Running out into that army when they appeared, NOT SMART. You need to dial it down a bit, or they will figure it out."

The six of us shared a look. The only people who ran into that army were the other big three kids.

"But thats why we have you,"the first voice spoke again,"you'd never let them think we were the enemy."

"Even though we are,"the second voice again, there was a rustling of leaves as the three moved around.

"Never,"the girl again,"now we better get back before they realize there's no such thing as a two headed drakaina." The other two laughed, and they started to walked towards our hiding spot. I looked around franticly for somewhere to hide, before Jacey tapped my shoulder and gestured upward, mouthing one word to me climb.

They passed beneath us just as Mark got his foot up. They didn't even notice we were there, and walked right past back towards there camp. But they didn't leave before I saw a speck of blond and a flash of gray.

Ohhh, lots of excitement, lots of drama, and a little volleyball. What could be more fun. As I promised the other Knights were in this chapter along with the commanders, and Chaos too! Didn't I tell yah the fun has begun. But your all probably wondering who's in the lead Bob or Max. Drumroll please... it's Bob again with 9 votes and Max behind by one with a score of 8. Poor poor Max got no votes this time. I guess none of you want Max to rule the world with his army head Steve. Poor Max.

Oh well what are you going to do. I hope I see you again when I post next time, hopefully next week. But I'm sure if you want to find out what happens with all these cliff hangers you will. You all probably want to kill me right now, but all will be explained soon. Girl signing off. :)
