Hie, I'm finally back. So sorry about long break, I've been ill, down with flu etc. There's a change in my policy and it'll be at the bottom of this chapter. Forgive me, but I really had to. I know my chapters are very short compared to other stories, but deal with it, I don't like overly long-winded chapters and I've a lousy imagination.
Anyway, review answers:
Darkened Enemy; Goddess of the Dark Flame; MusicLuver5683: Here you go. Enjoy. (At least I hope you do. My story feels cheesy to me.)
Motionless: Forgive me if there are any rude-sounding words but I really DISLIKE swear or cuss words, especially the f-word)
Resatice: I am very aware that that idea is cliched, but it's essential for this story, it'll play a bigger role later, you'll see. About the prologue, I was planning a double chapter prologue, but as I wrote there, I missed the last bit out. I was playing around and managed to hang my laptop, so I ended up overlooking it and not being used to cut-and-paste, I never realised I'd missed it in the first place. So sorry. As for Timothy's punishment, I haven't thought of what to do with him yet. Suggestions are welcome, for anyone reading this.

Chapter 1: Latest Assassination
∑ (Sigma) PoV
(A/N: Don't ask me why I chose Sigma, I just did. And I've read too many Alphas and Omegas)
I crept up behind the criminal silently and said "Boo" casually. After all I have been doing this for a long time. About ten years after Chaos first rescued me, was my first mission. It will be exactly 290 years since then, as of tomorrow, which is due in twelve hours time.
The criminal turned around, his eyes darting left and right, looking for a way to escape. I felt amused, for he seemed bright when I first met him a century ago, in Chaos time. Here, I think it's merely been 100 days.
"W-who are you? And what do you want with me?" he sputtered. "Well, I'm here to right your wrongs, of course." I told him. His eyes widened at that and he ran for his life. I was laughing inside at this one's stupidity, thinking he could escape me, for I am the Assassin of the Void and my job is to execute criminals deemed evil by Chaos. If Chaos says you're evil, then you're evil, because he's seen more than anyone else in this universe.
This man I'm chasing, had detonated a bomb last week, here on Mercury, and killed 7 men, 12 women and 15 adolescents. I was dispatched immediately by Chaos. When I arrived here, I went after him immediately, hoping to have some free time before I'm wanted back at headquarters.
"Any last words?" I asked the man after teleporting in front of him, and startling him half to death. "Yeah, You ain't gonna get me, assassin. I am the best demicelestial on Mercury and maybe even in the whole universe. So try and get me, faux assassin, I'll slice you to shreds."
At that, I stopped cold in my tracks, my eyes raging. What he just said sounded an awful lot like a certain someone I knew, and HATED. I turned to him with a glare to match Chaos' when he's angry and his grin slid off his face to be replaced by a panicked look. He turned to run just as I drew Riptide, which had been enforced with mortal metal and Stygian Iron. I'm sure Pi wonders why I keep the sword that reminds me constantly of her betrayal. I never answer.
Back to the present, I went to full 'Percy Jackson vs. Monsters' mode and attacked like a madman. I struck his ankle and sent him flailing to the ground. Then, I held my breath and counted to ten all the while holding him down with my foot. Once I calmed down enough, I told him to say his last prayers before delivering a final strike to his chest, directly above his heart. He died instantly and I felt relieved that I didn't use my other sword, Nightmare, which would have vaporized him. I said a prayer so that he may find peace in his afterlife before delivering his body to the officials who were also after him.
Then, I returned to my ship, Lukewarm, via a portal. Theta, my personal computerized assistant was aboard, awaiting my orders. "Welcome back, Agent Sigma. Where is your destination now?" Theta asked.
"Next destination, hmm, let's see... Make a stop on Earth for an hour then set course for the Void."
"Any special requests for locations on Earth, Agent Sigma?"
"Yes, stop by Long Island, New York." I said, smirking slightly before going to my chambers to change into my Stealth Suit. You see, my Stealth Suit has special properties and is charmed to hide me from the eyes of any person, not animals though, unfortunately.
As we were only due to arrive on Earth in two hours, I decided to rest a little and recall my happy memories on Earth. For example when Annabeth first kissed on Mt St. Helens, the first time I met Rachel Elizabeth Dare by attempting to run her through, I laughed when I remembered this one. But as you know, where there is good, there is bad. I also recalled discovering Annabeth and Timothy, the Gods deciding whether or not to kill me, and the moment when I told Athena of her daughter's betraying me and she'd yelled at me.
I shook my head, determined to get rid of these bad memories. After all, it's been 300 years. Sure, the gods will still be around, but that generation of demigods sure won't. Anyway, I've forgiven them already. Only Annabeth did any wrong by me, and she's a blonde. I'll just take her betrayal as a dumb blonde thing.
Upon arrival, I told Theta specifically to activate all security measures and stay hidden exactly where we landed, so I wouldn't have to search for Lukewarm later.
I made my way to a beach further down Long Island, which isn't in Camp Half-Blood's boundaries. Sitting there taking in the fresh sea breeze made me feel good. I wanted to visit Camp Half-Blood but Chaos told me, in a no nonsense tone, not to under any circumstances, unless he ordered it. Out of the blue, I mean forest, a familiar jet-black Pegasus appeared and stared at me intently. I panicked and immediately shut off my mind before teleporting to Lukewarm and ordering immediate take-off.
New Policy: I'll update every sixteen reviews (per chapter) from the following chapter (the chapter after the next), just because sixteen is my favourite number, and that I feel jealous of other authors who get enormous amounts of reviews. So feel free to review.
Next chapter will be up within the next two days, don't worry, I'm terribly sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Till then, remember to review, and as always, ta taa, LJ signing off.
