Previously~

A 14 Year Old Girl walked towards me slowly, her Armour fitting perfectly and she had an Iron Sword in her hand, most of the camp's imperial Gold had gone missing about 20 years ago when the 5th cohort had went to Alaska and lost the gold.

She looked in my eyes, with a smile on her face, "I wish you Luck, I really hope you choose the 5th Cohort" She then got into a fighting stance, her Sword raised and ready to fight.

Chapter 6- New recruit, it's time for the Trial- Part 2

Perseus's P.O.V

The Slightly older Girl stared me down, the friendly smile that had been on her face seconds before gone having been replaced by a determined look; Although she wished me luck and had hoped I would pick her Cohort, she still wanted to win which was very understandable. Through the ground I felt her twist her foot to make sure she had her footing her sword still raised, waiting for me to make the first strike.

Which is exactly what I did, Pulling Justice up I slashed at her wrist to try and force her to drop her sword as quickly as possible; the sand on the ground being kicked up as I did so. She Moved her Iron Sword downwards, deflecting my slash as if it was nothing, pushing Justice and in turn myself away from her elegantly.

She quickly took the advantage of me being at the side from her deflect by pulling her sword up and hitting me in the back with the non-pointy end of her sword. It pushed me to the ground as I had been unbalanced, quickly rolling around I saw her moving her sword towards my neck where she would try and force me to wield.

Rolling out of the way I pushed myself to my feet, scrambling to gain some semblance of control in this situation; I had beaten the Son of Jupiter, I had beaten the Minotaur and I was letting her push me around! What would Mother Lupa say if she saw me Right Now? or my father? or even my patron Lady Trivia? This was not where my story was going to end, I needed to be smarter than this, I needed to be better than this.

Breathing in and out I took a couple of seconds, my opponent was clearly annoyed, the crowd was cheering above us while Praetor Mahri looked down curious. Blocking out the cheers of New Rome and Camp Jupiter I felt through the Ground once again to see what her movements would be; I felt her begin to raise her right leg to start charging, if I was to move my shield up slightly I would be able to deflect her next attack.

Pulling my Shield up, She charged just like I thought with her sword in the perfect position for me to push it, I moved my right foot to the right slightly and stepped across to the right with my left just as she reached me, knocking her sword away from me and flying towards the floor far from where I was as I brought my elbow back that my Shield was on, elbowing her in the face; knocking her down to the ground, I swung my sword to her neck and said quietly "Do you Yield?"

She looked around to try and find some kind of escape but quickly realised that without her sword, that there was nothing she could do. She sighed and said "I Yield" I removed my Sword and helped her to her feet with praetor Mahri yelling "Cohort 5, Your Second in Command Centurion has been defeated! Please send out your Primary Centurion!"

The Girl walked off giving me a small smile and said "good battle, better luck with my boss though" As she vanished, my next opponent appeared. He was Tall and Lanky probably about 16 years old with full a Mixture of Imperial Gold and Iron Armour on him. He walked in front of me and said "That was a good fight with my Second-in-Command but you will need to change tactics for me" Pulling on a Imperial Gold Helmet that covered his face. He puled a long spear off his back and started to swing it around before stomping it, both hands on the shaft; Aimed at me.

With a Yell of "Begin!" from Praetor Mahri, he released one hand from his spear and made a simple Jab that I was forced to block using my shield as to not get stabbed by it. That Jab was quickly followed by another and then another; just more and more jabs coming at me constantly, I couldn't tell what was going on in front of my Shield and because he wasn't moving his feet I was unable to tell what his next attack was going to be.

I had to do something about it though because even though it was small, i could feel myself getting slowly pushed back and he still hand't moved his feet; That spear of his had a long reach. I let his jab hit my shield again but before he could hit it again I moved my shield away and raised my sword which was enough to overpower the Spear making its aim go widely off course before pushing myself towards him using my control over the earth to push me further towards him and faster, using my shield to block his incoming attack.

Just as I was about to slash at him using my sword in a weak point I felt the presence of his spear on my Shield lift and felt the wind circling above me before the wooden end of his spear collided with my skin through a Gap in the Armour sending me flying to the ground to eat dirt again.

Gods that Hurt, That spear was amazing! He was able to not only keep me away when using long ranged attacks but was also able to deal with me at close range allowing him to get painful hits on me like that, wow; might have to learn how to use a spear at some point. I pushed himself up and said "Nice attempt but that little move there doesn't quite work on me, as I'm sure you have felt" using the bottom of his spear he dragged up sand and sent it flying towards me, blinding me temporarily.

Through the ground I could feel him moving but I couldn't see well enough to tell where he was going, raising my shield to protect my face when in reality he went for my left shin, striking me and giving me a long gash which would have to be healed after these fights were over. he pulled his spear back before he tried to go for my other shin but I jumped up and put my foot down on the spear and used it to push me up, using my shield I hit his helmet, Knocking it off as I ended up at the other side of him.

He laughed and said "Not Bad at all, you would make a fine addition to the 5th Cohort" I felt blood begin to leak out of my new gash, seems like my little stunt there did not end that well as it wasn't bleeding before...or at least not severely bleeding. I needed to get past him quick otherwise I would be to weak to fight any more battles. Pushing forwards I acted like the Minotaur and pushed straight a head using my shield to protect my head.

I heard a loud 'clang' as His spear collided with my shield, hearing and feeling it told me what I had to do next, pushing my shield straight down forcing his Spear into the dirt, I pushed my entire body down before swinging my sword and slashing at his spear hand , giving him a cut from his wrist to his elbow making him drop his spear in shock as I continued to move, going into a roll and rolling past him landing behind before pulling myself up and placing the tip of my spear up to his neck just as he was about to bend down to pick up his spear again.

A loud laugh came from him as he said "Well done, very impressive, I yield" Putting his hands up allowing Praetor Mahri to yell out "And Victory goes to Perseus against the 5th Cohort , Very well done Centurion Markus. A 5 minute break before we move onto Cohort 4!". I let out a sigh of relief and he helped my to the changing room where I would get a bandage to warp around my new gash and where he could get something for his arm. This was Just the Beginning!

Bianca's P.O.V

I ducked as Nancy Boffiet and Aimee started to throw their lunches at us. The sandwiches that Nancy was throwing at us, well more specifically Grover was Peanut Butter on seeded bread with parts of it getting stuck in Grover's Curly brown hair; Aimee on the other hand was throwing strawberry jam sandwiches at me mostly although none of them were really hitting me, although I wanted to beat the hell out of them for it, if Nico had been sitting next to me instead of up front with Mr Burner I probably would have gone and punched them.

I started to rise as another piece of Peanut Butter Sandwich landed in Grover's hair but he put a hand on my leg and said "Remember your on probation Bianca, if you get in trouble hear you will be expelled" I sighed and sat back down again, they surely would run out of food to launch at us before too long. Grover then said "Anyway I like Peanut Butter"

Ia few minutes later they seemed to run out of sandwich as they stopped firing and started to talk between them, while there was some peace I looked out of the Window as we drove through Manhattan to reach the New York metropolitan museum of Art which is where we were heading on our school field trip this year with Mr Burner and unfortunately Mrs's Dodds. Neither me nor Nico have had the best of luck when it comes to field trips but this time I was determined for their to be nothing to go wrong.

Anyway I enjoyed Latin because it was taught by Mr Burner who was the best Teacher I have ever had, another reason I don't want to leave, I wan't him to continue to teach me. The bus was about 10 minutes away from the museum so as the cars outside past by my mind wandered to the beautiful girl with Black hair and electric blue eyes. she had been in my dreams for the past view months. She looked like she was about 15 but she was just sat in this classroom with me and she would grin at me every now and then, before winking at me and saying one thing "Stop the War" she would then raise her finger to her lips as in to silence me and then I would get dragged into another dream which was of a Eagle and a Horse trying to attack each other while at the same time there was a dark evil laugh from beneath the ground. A young Girl with flowing black hair and Sea Green eyes also seemed to be reaching out trying to get them to stop.

Every time as the two of us tried to stop them I would wake up from my sleep in a deep sweat which was horrid and I was unable to get back to sleep afterwards which really sucked as it meant that I was losing out on sleep, although it was worth falling asleep every time even if it was to just see the girl with Electric eyes; I mean who is she and why did she have to be so beautiful.

I was shaken from my thoughts by the bus coming to a sudden halt sending everyone on the bus flying forward into the seat in front of us causing a series of groans to go around the bus. Mr Burner yelled from the from of the bus "Everyone off in single file please, can you please stay together when we go outside". Here we were, the New York Metropolitan museum of Art.

Perseus's P.O.V

I was facing the Main Centurion of the 3rd Cohort and my injuries from the past 5 battles had built up making my entire body ache, I needed to beat this lady. She was swinging around his Spear even faster that the 5th Cohort centurion. She had already knocked my shield off my wrist and was getting close to knocking my sword out of my hand.

I was almost completely out of energy, even with 7 years of Training from Lady Lupa, I was still no match for some of the older Centurions in the higher Cohorts. She stopped swinging her spear and jabbed at me, catching my face, going across my cheek; blood running down the new, new, new wound. Using my powers over the mist that had been granted to me by lady Trivia I created multiple copies of myself but it seemed to do nothing against my opponent who Spun her spear around and hit all of my copies, all of whom disappeared because of my lack of energy, I couldn't keep them solid.

I got knocked down by the Spear and started to cough in pain, I had been knocked down so many times this fight but I refused to lose to her! I needed to beat her but even if I did I wouldn't be able to beat the secondary Centurion of the Second Cohort as it was I had lost too much energy, I think I needed a bit more time to rest before I started my Trial but instead I jumped straight into the fight like the idiot I was.

She attempted to stab me while I was on the ground but I rolled out of the way then she attempted to stab me again so I continued to roll; I couldn't roll the entire battle could I? Surely she would realise quite quickly what I was doing, I mean that's how I got into this situation at it was, by being foolish and sticking to the same Tactics. I would roll once more then I would jump up and try to knock that spear of hers, out of her hands but I would have to time it perfectly.

Rolling Once I prepared to jump up when she next struck but instead of waiting for me to stop she brought her spear down grazing my right Shoulder making me grunt out in Pain, I couldn't show any weakness...I just couldn't not in front of the Praetor's and the rest of the camp...and especially not in front of that Arguer Octavian.

She pulled her spear up once more pulling against the new Graze making me grit my teeth to stop myself from yelling. Picking myself up holding my shoulder tightly with my left hand as I tried to hold onto the sword in my right hand I managed to Spit out "I'm not finished yet" Swinging Justice at her;widely missing due to the pain in my shoulder. The Centurion chuckled and she said "You have guts Kids I have to admit this but I'm ready to end this fight"

Slowly swinging her spear she brought it to her side but like a hurricane she started to spin, spinning the spears between her hands so fast that it was braking the wind. HEr body was moving as if her and the Spear were one as she slowly approached me before hitting me right in the centre of the chest with the flat end of the spear sending me flying to the ground, my body bouncing and rolling before eventually coming to a stop. I looked up slowly and saw a Spear at my Neck, there was no way out of this situation.

I had Lost.

The woman said "DO you Yield" I nodded slowly and said out loud so everyone through the stadium could hear "I yield" there was cheering at the fact that there had been such an amazing fight. She extended a hand towards me and said "Excellent fight young Perseus" I groaned out loud as she pulled me up and I grinned "That was a Great fight Centurion".

Praetor Mhari grinned down from above ad said "Well done Mr Jackson, I think we all can agree that He put on an impressive show!" There was a loud cheer across the stadium and she continued "But now it is time for Cohorts 3, 4 and 5 to chose whether or not they want them". Almost immediately the 4th Cohort decided they didn't want me and the 5 decided that they did.

The centurion I had just been fighting seemed thoughtful for a few moments and then said "The Third Cohort will accept Mr Jackson should he want to join us!" I could be in Cohort 3? awesome! Praetor Mhari smiled at me from above and said "It is your decision Mr Jackson" I looked at the 5th Cohort centurion "Thank you very much for choosing me but I think I will go for the 3rd Cohort" The Centurion grinned wrapping her arms around me before yelling "Cohort 3, The son of Neptune is ours!" Making them all yell while Cohort 1,2 and 4 all let out a sigh of relief while the primary centurion of Cohort 5 gave me a happy but disappointed smile."

The Centurion I had just been fighting turned to face me and said "The Names Yoana, I am your new commanding officer" I smiled at her flinching as she held on tight "Nice to meet you Centurion Yoana" I finally had a family and nothing would take that away from me, I would be sure about that.

A/N and there is part 2 of the trial and 3 fight in this chapter! I have to admit something though. Last year I had these two most recent chapters and a further 2 finished except the uSB I had them saved on got lost so the reason I didn't update for a long time was because I didn't have the motivation to rewrite what I thought were 4 bloody fantastic chapters however I will carry on none the less even if these new ones aren't half as good.

hope you enjoyed and see you all soon
