I've been neglecting you since Thanksgiving. I'm sorry that was kind of mean of me to do, and I honestly can't say anything to defend myself. I mean I could use any amount of the excuses I have like, I was busy, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, midterms, but I could have written in my spare time and I didn't so its all my fault and mine alone. So I'm sorry about that, but I did have something I wanted to type about. All of you who wrote reviews that complained about my choice amount of OC's.

Look I'm sorry that your having trouble keeping up with how many OC's I chose, but in all truth it was my decision. And for this story that was the amount I needed, and yes I was having a bit of trouble keeping them strait too. Thats where the teams come into play. I needed a way to organize them so I made the five teams, they help me keep them strait, and if I can keep them strait then you should be able to too. And technically you aren't even required to keep them and their creators together. But if you want I can write who goes to what team and who created who, because complaining isn't going to change my mind about anything. Its only going to make me upset, I know none of you meant to do that, and I'm certain that you didn't expect this, big long, lengthy explanation on why but I feel as if you need to know why there are so many, and that because I need them. There had to be a big team to show how big of an influence they are across the galaxy. So please don't complain about them because they (whether you like it or not) are a big part of this story. And again if you want I can start telling you who owns what OC and what OC goes where. But please don't hate me or anything because of this, but just because you complain doesn't mean the OC's are going to go away.

Now that my ramble is over I'll let you get to the story. But let me thank those you reviewed, fallowed, and once again didn't give up on me and my horrible updating skills.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson it belongs to the wonderful and talented Rick Riordan, and I certainly don't think I could have come up with as many OC's as I have they belong to some of my wonderful readers, and there are so many I don't want to write them down right now.

Chapter 11: Explanations and Thoughts

Percy's POV

27 Knights, 6 teams, all crammed into one camp, something was destined to go wrong. But I didn't expect this many problems, first the attack, then Chaos's warning, now there's a traitor in the camp, Backbiter is apparently being held in the weapons shed, and Kampa's still alive. Then, on top of it all, the Jumpers tried to kill the campers, I thought it would be Suicide, looks like I owe Nico five Drachma.

Which brings us here. All of us crammed in the living room in 'Cabin Zero,' as the campers have taken to calling it. The Knights had there eyes turned towards their shoes, while the six of use, Thalia, Nico, Hazel, Jason, Raiden, and I, stood in front of them by the looking glass.

I placed my fingers on my temples, trying to stop the on coming headache," I'm going to ask this once, and I would like if only one of you answered, Understood?" all I got in response were a few head nods," Good now can someone please tell me, WHAT IN TARTARUS HAPPENED OUT THERE!?" Some flinched as my voice rose towards the end, others just hung there heads in shame.

"It was self-defense," Aveline mumbled not meeting my eyes,"they insulted Willow and Cynthia,"the other Jumpers nodded and Liam launched into the story starting from the moment they left the cabin and stopping when he reached the volleyball fight.

I sighed,"so you tried to kill them?"

The Jumpers cheeks flushed and they suddenly found interest in their shoes," not our best moment,"Callie said with a sheepish smile.

"Yah think," Nico said,"I understand that none of you want to be here, trust me we don't want to be here either, but we should at least try to...not kill them,"he was probably going to say something else but decided against it,"I mean the five of us have been here longer than you and we haven't tried to behead anyone...yet." Thalia rolled her eyes and pushed Nico out of the way.

"What he means is that we're here to help, thats what we do, even if we are helping no good, idiotic, evil little, no good campers, who need to have their egos deflated so they fit inside their swollen heads. But thats not what we're here to think about, we're here to save the Earth from some freak, we're NOT here to make friends and settle old scores, so get it together! We've worked to hard for our reputation to have it brought down now! Now pull yourselves together or get out of here!" After her little rant the Knights pulled themselves up a little higher.

I clapped my hands together, and all eyes returned to me," now that thats done, you were saying something about Backbiter in the weapons shed, Kampa being alive, and a traitor."

"Three four maybe...actually," Jacey spoke up from where she sat in between Ace and Alex to keep them from attacking each other, they glared but didn't dare make a move, everyone knows how Jacey can get when angered.

"What?" I seem to be asking that a lot lately.

"We over heard three people talking,"she replied,"and if they're who we thin they are than there will defiantly be a fourth, and maybe a few Romans, if thats the case."

"And you think they are?" Jason inquired.

"Julian Gail, Anika Reth, Eric Sailer, maybe Derek Gray and Megan Adams, and Annabeth Chase."

"Really?" I asked, I had suspected the other Big Three kids to be involved, and the Romans weren't really a surprise, but it hurt to hear Annabeth's name among the traitor's, and I was sure that if Gray and Adams were involved than Piper McLean and Frank Zhang would be right there with them. My old friends, the people I would have trusted with my life, my first love, all traitors. But beside them three other names came to mind, Leo, Calypso, and Reyna. The only three who hadn't been at camp when the betrayals had happened, all of them sent on a quest to retrieve Ares stolen sword. But they hadn't come back until we had left.

There still might be a chance to save them. If they're still here, that is. I hadn't seen even a glimpse of them since we got here.

"Yes,"Jacey said braking my thought train,"we're almost positive."

I nodded, pushing the other thought out of my mind for now,"and what about Kampa and Backbiter?"

"It might not be Kampa, but what else would be under the rubble of Zeus's fist?" Natsu said looking rather worried.

"How'd you find it?" Hazel asked softly.

"Well Zain actually found it..." Natsu told use about how Zain lead them to the 'forbidden grounds' and about the mysterious pile of rocks that attacked when you got too close.

"We think its Kampa because there was an odd growling noise coming from it, and sometimes when monsters get out of Tartarus they end up back where they got killed, so it would make sense that Kampa found a way out but she just ended up right back where she was killed," Alice spoke up.

I nodded it all made sense, yes, but none of it connected. The traitors are no surprise, they were bad from the moment they stepped across the borders. Its only logical that Kampa is the one trapped under the rocks, but what about Backbiter?

"Backbiter?" I asked turning to Lucy, she could give me the best answer, she was Kronos's daughter after all.

Sencing my gaze she looked up from where she had been petting her dogs, Fred and George," oh its my fathers sword all right. I just want to know why its not a puddle of melted goop."

I nodded," I think thats what we're all wondering. You said its hanging in the weapons shed," she nodded, her face like a statue,"I'll have to check it out later."

"If your going to do that you might want to know that when I tried to touch it it zapped my and some lady appeared in the blade and started screaming at us something about how only one person has the right to wield it, and that if anyone but that person touched it again that they would 'end', which I assume means die," she explained.

"I'll be sure not to touch it then,"I said my brain going into overdrive,"your dismissed we'll talk more about this later." The Knights slowly trickled out of the room until it was only my cousins, Raiden, and myself.

I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in, and fell onto the couch, the others following suit.

"Your planning something," Jason said staring at me intently, it wasn't a question.

I let out a strangled laugh, I hadn't truly laughed, or smiled for that matter, since I was betrayed,"and what makes you say that."

Jason smiled slightly," you had that look on your face, after they said Annabeth betrayed the camp, you only ever get that look when your planning something. But I haven't seen this particular look in a long time," he leant forward slightly,"the last time I saw you with that look was right before we battled the giants, when you were planning something that could have gotten everyone killed. You haven't had one of those plans since we met Chaos," his smile turned into a smirk,"I miss them."

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow," you miss almost getting killed because you went along with a last resort plan?"

Jason nodded,"yep, they were some of your best work, nothing like what you come up with now. I liked it when you almost got us killed, when you were trying to save our lives."

"Me too," Nico piped up.

"They were rather interesting, weren't they?" Hazel said with a smile.

"I don't miss almost dieing but I do miss my cousin," Thalia said, I didn't know what she meant by that. But before I could ask Raiden spoke up.

"I'm interested in what this plan of yours might be."

I looked at him and smirked,"I'll tell you when its more of a plan and less of a thought."

He leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes,"fair enough."

Bob is here at last. Did you miss Bob, because Bob missed you, guess what! Bob got a kitty cat, her name is Princess, she doesn't like Steve. She promised me she would help Bob stop Max and save the world. Vote team Bob and Princess, for the world, for humanity, for waffle fries!

Thalia's POV

The waves lapped onto the shore peacefully. The full moon was reflected in the dark water. It to be around midnight, the campers were all asleep and the camp was silent.

When I had left Cabin Zero, it had been the complete opposite. No one could sleep, we were all too anxious. Tomorrow the real work would begin, no more Mr. Nice Guy. It was time we prepared for war.

Tomorrow Raiden and I would be leaving to find Artemis and her hunters, while the others trained the campers and tried to figure out where everything else fit into this mess. When I left the cabin, Percy had been muttering things under his breath, probably piecing together the rest of his plan.

I'm not sure why, but I hope that its one of the plans he use to come up with, one of the ones that defied death. In all truth I miss them as much as the others do. But I miss my cousin more. The one who would always smile and laugh. The goofy boy that refused to let anything stop him. But he hadn't been that boy for a long time. She had made sure of that. He might still laugh and smile but they weren't genuine. She had ruined him, and I was going to get her back. No one messes with my cousin's and gets away with it. When I'm done with her she'll wish she was never born.

Some one sat down next to me. I hadn't heard them coming, and there was only one person who could possibly sneak up on me.

"Beautiful night," Raiden spoke quietly, as if to make sure we weren't over heard.

"Mmmm,"I replied not looking at him, but continuing to gaze at the moon. I didn't know if Artemis was the one driving the moon chariot or not but it didn't matter to me, the moon was the moon and I always felt...whole when it was out. As if my time as a hunter had left an impression on me, whether it was good or bad I'm not sure yet.

"Tomorrows going to be interesting," he said trying to start a conversation.

I nodded not really up for talking at the moment. He nudged my side with his elbow.

"You okay?" He asked turning to face me, concern etched in to his face, I still didn't turn towards him,"You've been acting strangely since Chaos left."

I shrugged, had I been acting oddly? Maybe I had been a little off, but it couldn't be that noticeable, could it?

"So your just going to sit here, all night, staring off into space?"

"Maybe," I told him absentmindedly, still not turning to look at him.

Even though I couldn't see it I could tell that he was smirking,"than I suppose I should just leave then."

When I didn't reply he started to get up, but I grabbed his wrist to keep him in place,"now who said anything about that?" I finally turned towards him, and smiled.

His black and red hair was wet and plastered against his forehead. He wasn't wearing his usual sunglasses and his left eye seemed to show brighter in the moonlight, for what reason I'm not sure, while the right seemed to sparkle slightly. Instead of his usually combat getup, he was wearing a simple white t-shirt, a pair of grey sweatpants, and his feet were bare, as if he had been planning on getting in bed, but decided to go for a walk instead. His cloak lay next to him in the sand, unlike mine which I was wearing the hood pulled up to cover my face, despite no one being out.

Raiden smiled a little and sat back down. I let go of his wrist but he just took my hand into his slightly larger one. He didn't look away from me and I couldn't look away from him. His free hand reached up and pushed my hood down, then rested on my shoulder.

"Your eyes," he said, taking me by surprise.

"What about them?"

He cocked his head to the side slightly causing his wet hair to fall into his mismatched eyes, and I had to fight the urge to push it away,"there so blue, and...beautiful." I felt a blush creeping onto my cheeks. I looked back out at the lake, but he placed his hand on my chin and gently brought me back around to face him.

He pushed a pice of my bangs out of my eyes and I suddenly realized how close we were,"you know they were the first thing I saw when Chaos brought you to Base. I walked into the room and I didn't even notice the others until my father started to talk," the hand that was on my shoulder was now on the back of my neck," and through out his entire speech all I could focus on was you, your eyes, your hair, the cloths you wore, the way your nose scrunches up when you think, the line of freckles across your nose, everything about you. I-I didn't know what to say to you the first time we talked, I was scared I would slip up, do something wrong, and when we became friends, I was scared I was going to do something wrong and ruin it,"we were so close now that I could feel his breath, I could see the small patch of freckles on his cheek," I tried to ask you out so many times, but every time I managed to pull together enough courage there was always some crazy person trying to destroy the universe or we had to go on a recruiting mission or your brother would show up. But I guess I'm asking n-"

He never finished his sentence because I had closed the small gap between us. I kissed him and after a moment he kissed me back. It fell...right. It wasn't one of those you-could-die-and-I-might-never-get-a-chance-to-do-this kisses either, like when I had kisses Luke before going off to die. No this was different, it was like a million fireworks going off in my head, it was a feeling I had never felt before.

I'm not sure how long it lasted, minutes, maybe hours, but he pulled back and I rested my head on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around my waist, and his chin on top of my head.

"Wow," he muttered causing me to chuckle. It was the perfect moment, no one else. Just Raiden and I.

"Thalia! Raiden! Where you out here!" Nico yelled from the cabin porch.

Moment over.

Well there you go, no action but plenty of mystery and a little bit of romance that I've been dyeing to add in since I started the story. Too bad Nico had to ruin it. And before I get into anything else let me apologies for the length, it was not as long as I would have liked it to be but its acceptable, right? Oh well, anyways back to the important stuff. Like the polls in first place we have Bob with 15 and Max pulling up behind with 13.

So more and more people are taking a disliking to Max I guess. Is it the fact that he wants to take over the world? Because if so thats a little mean. How do you know that Max would make a bad dictator, for all you know he could be better than any other ruler we've ever had. Why not give him a chance? Then again his second in command is a unicorn that wants to rule Canada. Oh well.

But anyways back to more serious stuff. I'll remind you again that if you think it will help then I can start writing, who owns what OC, what team their on, and who their godly parent is at the beginning of my chapters. Just put it in the reviews and tell me yes I should do this or No its unnecessary. I hate it when I write things that people can't understand, and I want to help you in any way possible. And since I missed them Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas (sorry thats what I celebrate), and Happy New Year. Sorry if I missed anything. Well thats all for now Girl signing off.
