Chapter 7: Chaos Arrives

Disclaimer: I don't own anything familiar.

Angmar POV

Angmar teleported back to Bianca's quarters to hear the end of her personal report to Lord Order.

"That is all my lord."

"Thank you Mobius, you are dismissed."

Bianca bowed her head, and turned to leave her room.

"You told me not to keep you waiting Bianca."

Angmar said with a smile.

"And you didn't, not very long anyway."

Bianca winked and motioned Angmar to join her on her bed. Angmar, after three centuries, still had no idea what he was doing in this situation. Bianca caressed Angmar's face and brought him into a kiss. Achilles barged in saying,

"Sir! Chaos himself is here!"

Angmar and Bianca broke apart and Angmar quickly armed himself before teleporting to meet with his greatest enemy.

-Linebreak-

Angmar arrived a few meters away from where the campers were meeting with chaos and his soldiers.

"These are my elite soldiers, sent here to train the campers against the threat of my brother, Order."

Annabeth saw Angmar land and said,

"Percy, it's your dad."

Angmar groaned at how his cover was blown so easily. He walked up to chaos and said,

"Hello. Uncle."

"Ah Angmar I see your father has beaten me to getting soldiers to Earth."

"Oh uncle, we've been here for years."

At Angmar's words, the assembled campers vocally gasped at the realization that Angmar had lied to them. Chaos's soldiers nervously placed their hands on their weapons.

"Angmar, you needn't worry over my soldiers. You and I both know the only real threat to you is me. And as I don't believe in hurting my kin I will not attack you."

Angmar's eyes flashed in anger and he mentally called his squad to him. Bianca arrived first and was shocked by the presence of Chaos. Achilles and Hector arrived just after Sauron. The three warriors grimly placed their hands on their weapons.

"Uncle you may not believe in kin-slaying. But I find it the most fun."

With those words Angmar drew his blade and attacked Chaos's soldiers. Chaos's troops didn't even have a chance to draw their blades, as Angmar brutally slaughtered every last one of them. Blood was still dripping from Angmar's sword when he turned to face Chaos. Chaos didn't look mad. He seemed more sad than anything.

"Oh Percy, how far you've fallen. Years ago you would have never attacked anyone who didn't give you reason."

"They gave me a reason when they pledged allegiance to my enemy!"

Angmar was losing control of his anger. Sauron saw this and said,

"Sir. Order requests you to contact him immediately."

Angmar nodded, then cleaned his blade and turned on a communicator. Order answered immediately.

"What is going on down their Angmar?"

"Father, Chaos has arrived ahead of schedule with his elite squad of soldiers."

"I see, have you made contact with Chaos's forces."

Chaos cut in,

"Yes your son has, by slaughtering them mercilessly."

"Well done Angmar, you just killed the best of the best of Chaos's army."

"Yes and in doing so you're son has broken the laws of war."

"Chaos, no laws were broken. You're just upset that your brightest platoon of soldiers were slain with ease by my heir."

"You're heir is a corrupted hero!"

Angmar was just listening to their conversation with growing amusement. He then interjected,

"Oh Uncle Chaos, it is not y father who corrupted as you say. It is the people you love the most. The 'loving' and 'loyal' people I once called my friends."

Angmar then said loud enough for all at the camp to hear,

"Personally I can't wait until our campaign against Earth is won."

Annabeth asked,

"Why?"

Angmar slowly turned to face her and replied with a savage gleam in his eyes,

"So I may burn this camp to the ground. But I will leave my old allies alive. Not out of mercy but for vengeance. I will force you to kill your respective godly parent, then I will release you from your bonds so you see what you've done. I will then pick one of you at random and brutally slaughter them in front of the survivors. This will continue until only one is left. Pray that you aren't the last one living as my wrath will be immense."

Annabeth couldn't believe her ears, neither could the campers. Here was the twice savior of Olympus, speaking with such ferocity about how he would exact his revenge against them. Angmar enjoyed the looks of pure fear and shock on the campers faces. Order coughed and said,

"My son I have a new title for you."

Angmar turned to his fathers image,

"What is it?"

"Angmar the Vengeful."

"I like it father, what are your orders?"

"Return to our base in the solar system, you will find the army soon there. Bring your companions as well."

"As you wish father."

"I will meet you there."

The communication cut off and Angmar said to his companions,

"Go on ahead, I have one last thing to say to the campers."

They nodded and teleported away. Chaos just shook his head in sadness and teleported back to Tamriel, his planet. Once Chaos left Angmar looked at the campers and grinned savagely and said in a sing-song voice,

"Campers of Camp Half-Blood, the next time you see me, Camp Jupiter will be in ruins and an army will be at your gates. So I leave you with this one last message."

Angmar then raised his hand and started pulling Chiron towards him. As Chiron slowly moved towards him, Angmar pulled his sword and said,

"Chiron do you know what type of metal this sword is made of? It's Ordarian Steel, one of the few substances in the universe that can kill immortals as if they were weak mortals."

Chiron looked fearful for but a brief moment and shouted,

"Percy! You're better than this! Forget whatever lies Order has told you and return to us!"

Angmar just shook his head and said,

"You stupid horse, why would I return to the ones who betrayed me. Now, Chiron, it's time for you to die!"

And Angmar violently pulled his old mentor towards him at full speed and drove his sword, Desolation, through Chiron's chest. The campers all screamed out as Chiron died and Annabeth shouted,

"Noooo! Percy I swear, I will kill you if it is the last thing I do!"

Angmar calmly said,

"Why not now Annabeth? If you hate me as much as you act like you do, you should have no problem in attacking me. Actually I relish at the possibility of you attacking me, as I would destroy you. Now I take my leave, thank you for your hospitality."

Angmar bowed and teleported to the secret base of Order. The moon Europa.

Order POV

Order was reviewing the logistics of the army when Angmar finally teleported back to Europa.

"Ah Angmar, what kept you so long?"

"I was tying some loose ends father."

"What did you do?"

"I killed Chiron."

Order was actually shocked at the brutality of his adopted son.

"Why did you do this?"

"He was their leader, and they needed to learn that we were serious."

Order mentally said to himself,

'At least he thinks of long term strategy when he kills, sometimes.'

Annabeth POV

The campers were still in shock by Percy's actions. Annabeth was in tears. Nico was just staring dumbfounded at where Chiron was still laying. Jason was the first to snap out of his stupor,

"Alright come on, we have to bury him, then we can think about how we will exact our vengeance."

"Jason, how do you expect any of us to be able to fight Percy on an even footing?"

Nico asked.

"I honestly have no idea Nico, but we have to kill Percy. Or he will bring ruin on all the earth."

Annabeth spoke up,

"Don't you all see? Percy did this because of what we did to him all those centuries ago. He's hurting,band we were stupid to to punish him for lashing out. The gods shouldn't have punished him so profoundly. We need to work with Lord Chaos to see if we can redeem him."

"Annabeth."

Thalia said,

"How do you expect to redeem a being who killed his loving mentor with little remorse?"

Annabeth just shook her head muttered something only Nico could hear,

"We have to save him, I still love him."

Thalia just shook her head and kneeled down and hugged Annabeth. The seven and all of Percy's old friends soon joined into a group hug centered around Annabeth. The group hug was broken by a bright flash of light. It was Chaos.

"Annabeth is right, if you truly wish to save your camp you must bring Percy back to the light."

Nico spoke,

"How will we manage such a feat?"

"I have a few plans young Nico. Though it is not a given, we must try. For Percy's sake and my creation."

"Why is Percy so important to you Chaos?"

Annabeth asked, well more pleased.

"Young Annabeth, Percy was the gem of my creation, he was meant to be my heir. But he was seduced by the lure of revenge. I believe Percy may have been tricked by Order. But I'm not certain. In the meantime, I will send a new platoon of soldiers to assist you in training."

The campers bowed as Chaos teleported away. After a few minutes of silence, Jason and Leo moved to help bury Chiron. Nico sent an iris message to the gods telling them of the day's events. The gods arrived in time for the burial of Chiron. The gods said a few words to honor Chiron. Annabeth then took the stand. She began tearfully,

"Chiron was like a father to many a hero through the ages, he trained Heracles and many other great heroes in antiquity. During the revolution, he trained George Washington. The Civil War, he trained General Grant and Sherman. In this day and age, Chiron trained the greatest heroes to ever grace this Earth. Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Nico Di Angelo, Travis and Conner Stoll, Clarrise LaRue, Jack Blaire, myself..."

Annabeth broke off choking back tears, then continued,

"And Percy Jackson."

The crowd murmured at the though of Percy still being a hero.

"Percy Jackson was a hero until we betrayed him. Percy Jackson died the day his mortal family died and he was disowned. Now we are faced with the threat of Angmar, and without attempting to redeem him, I fear we will die."

Annabeth rubbed her eyes and walked to Jack holding out her arms. Jack embraced her as she broke down. Apollo and his children then sang a mournful song as Hades and Nico lowered Chiron into the ground. As Hazel moved the dirt to cover the grave, Jason said,

"May Chiron find piece in the underworld. And if he doesn't, may his reincarnated form have a peaceful life."

Athena shouted out,

"Hail Chiron!"

The gathered campers, gods, and nature spirits echoed her cry.
