Hi, this time, review answers at the bottom, hurrying to the story now.

Sigma PoV

The mission I was assigned to got seriously out of hand, and definitely took too long considering I'd done this plenty of times before. However, this time, the tyrant I was supposed to 'assassinate' had hired me before, but I'd refused to kill the person he wanted gone.

The main reason is because his orders were, and I quote 'Kill him so that I may take his wife as my own. After all, he does not love her', followed by me seeing the target buying a huge bouquet of that planet's variety of roses, for 'his wife back home'.

And so he banished me from that planet.

When Gamma and I landed Lukewarm on in a discreet location, we first disguised as merchants to make sure we did not stand out. We walked around town trying to find out exactly how the people wanted to live their lives. Sadly, we barely got two sentences per person. Each contained the entire phrase 'Free of Emperor Ysoldph forever'.

After a while, we decided to seek out the tyrant. I, knowing the tyrant's basic habits and face, led the way, seeing as Gamma had learnt air-teleportation and could follow me anywhere.

Plus, she can charmspeak a dozen people into jumping off a cliff and landing on their knees without dying, so... I didn't think there would ever be a problem for Gamma in terms of charmspeak, should she be sighted or have the need to convince someone of something.

When I found him in the throne room, mulling over a report on poverty in the northern region of his kingdom, I wondered in what manner Lord Chaos could have seen him as a threat. I finally understood when he started laughing like a madman and throwing the report onto the floor, crumpling it in the process.

I sighed. I gave the signal for Gamma to appear in front of Emperor Ysoldph. When she did, he was scared senseless. I watched, amused as she pretended to be one of his hired assassins. Finally, I decided I'd seen enough and threw a small pebble at Ysoldph's throne. Both looked up, with opposite expressions upon their faces.

I stepped out of my hiding spot and saw Ysoldph's expression turn to one of fear. Usually, assassins only turn up when he calls for them and I certainly didn't get a written invitation in my mailbox this morning.

I smirked and said the assassination incantation. Basically, I have a new trick up my sleeve, the assassination incantation is supposed to mortally wound anyone who has been marked for assassination within the same room as the speaker, so the speaker may deliver the final blow.

The moment I finished, Ysoldph and I both fell to the ground, a large gash each to our chests. We both had shocked expressions while Gamma was stunned beyond belief. She hurriedly finished the job and brought me back to Lukewarm. When we reached the ship, I passed out from the pressure in the portal Gamma used to transport us.

Piper PoV

When Percy was suddenly struck by a gigantic gash on his chest, I couldn't move as I watched him fall. I shook myself back to reality and ran to Ysoldph who was gasping for air. With his assassin being close, he suffered the worst of the spell.

I grabbed a dagger from my belt and stabbed him twice in the heart, then saying a small prayer to Lord Chaos to spare him from a harsh punishment in the afterlife.

I got up, ran to Percy's side and opened a portal to Lukewarm, his ship. He seemed to get heavier when I stepped out of the portal. Looking down, I saw he'd fallen unconscious.

After contacting Lord Chaos and telling him of someone who wants Percy assassinated, he agreed to send a different agent to solve the matter of national peace and ordered us to get back to the Void, Theta piloted us straight to the infirmary. There, Pi took over.

I retired to my chamber and flopped down on my bed exhausted. As a rule, I never got close to crying to avoid getting pitiful looks. I had enough of those when Jason left me. Suddenly, an Iris message appeared in front of my wardrobe.

Intrigued, I sat on my bed and watched whatever someone was trying to show me. I saw Annabeth, of all people, pacing around a large room, probably a drawing room by the looks of it. Suddenly, Athena appeared in a doorway, asking for a… sketch maybe? I got lost in all their architectural talk and moved to shut down the Iris Message when Annabeth made a startling statement.

"Have you solved the prophecy yet mother? I haven't the slightest clue."

Athena sighed and shook her head. "No, and it puzzles me so. Perhaps this one won't occur for a few decades or so. Everyone knows the first Great Prophecy took nearly a century. But still, terrors at the camp do not sound good at all."

At this point, I decided to speak up. "Uh, Lady Athena? I am Gamma of Void. I don't know who set up this message but it just appeared in front of me. I was hoping you could elaborate on the prophecy of which you speak. I'm curious."

Athena and Annabeth both turned to me. "Who are you? How can you be here, so to speak? Only those of Greek origin may evenseeOlympus, let alone communicate." Athena demanded.

"As I said, I am Gamma of Void. I do not know and frankly, I do not care. All I'm interested in now is that prophecy of which you speak."

"Not going to happen, girl." Athena sneered. "We do not give away our secrets as easy as that."

"Really, Lady Athena? Oh I didn't know. I am terribly sorry to have wasted your time. Perhaps if you have a change of heart, you could contact me?" I poured all my charmspeak into that last comment, hoping that my powers would work on a divine being as well as it did on a non-divine being.

The duo hesitated for a second and told me the prophecy in full, not even stopping for breath, all eight lines. I thanked them graciously and swiped my hand through the IM, ending the conversation.

Then, I sat. Sat and thought about the prophecy as I waited for an agent to summon me to Lord Chaos for the official recording about the mission gone wrong. Usually Percy did them but this time around I felt he's in a condition which is NOT suitable for such a task.

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. A young alien child, possibly no more than 6 years old, was standing outside when I opened. On Earth, you would probably assume that the child was lost wearing a Halloween costume. Here, you see it as a threat, mainly because this area has the highest level of security in the entire Void.

I stood there with my knives drawn as the child watched me. I took a protective stance and the child began to cry, really loudly. Agent Rho ran up to it and apologized for the imposition, scolding the child soundly.

I felt strangely moved by Agent Rho's ability to have found a mate all the way out here. Out of the blue, I felt terribly lonely and wished I had someone like that too.

I'm not sure how long I stood in the doorway, but it was long enough to attract Ag-Nico's attention. He walked up to me and said "Boo," casually. Naturally, I jumped out of fright. I heard a laugh and turned. Nico was there, holding his tummy, trying hard not to burst into fits of laughter.

I put on an un-amused face. He tried his best to hold any more laughter in so I wouldn't blow him to bits. Then, he managed to sputter "You... jumped higher... than I did... that day... " Before laughing again.

"Oh come on, your supposed 'best friend' is in the infirmary and you're laughing because I can jump seven feet?" I demanded, making sure the air quotes were prominent.

"What do you mean? Percy's fine, he was in the public library with Lord Chaos a few moments ago."

"Huh? Isn't he seriously wounded still? Like, he had a lot of bandages." I asked.

"Nope, he looked as right as rain."

I did not believe him and as such, threw on my special mask and ran to the library. When I got there, Lord Chaos looked up and said "Why are you here, Agent Gamma? Are you not supposed to be getting ready for the next mission?"

I shook my head "My Lord, I asked Agent Omicron to take my place instead for that mission. I'm still not emotionally ready yet, and I found out that Earth's Greek demigods received a new prophecy recently through the wisdom goddess who happened to be in contact."

"Very well, what is this prophecy? Perhaps it concerns some of us; your expression certainly tells us that."

"Us? Who el-" My voice died. Percy was sitting there, looking just as Nico said, as right as rain, together with a few other minor agents.

As I stood there staring, however, none of us realized the presence of another being watching our every move, maybe even since I first entered.

Athena PoV

Why I blurted out the entire prophecy to a total stranger, I do not know. I just feltrightat the time. After the encounter, I got a serious headache and went to my father to report on what I'd seen. I found him with Aphrodite, who was still, begging him to allow her to look for her former EA and daughter, Piper McLean. I have often wondered whether Aphrodite had a heart. Now I know.

I cleared my throat to announce my presence. Both turned to me and Aphrodite blushed, turning as red as the ball gown she was wearing. She excused herself and I was left alone with Lord Zeus.

"So, what do you want, Athena? I do not have all day, you of all gods should know."

"Yes father, but I need to tell you of a mysterious person which I came into contact with today. I do not know her but she does me. I do not know how or why but she made me tell her the recent prophecy without hesitation. My daughter Annabeth is a fellow witness. She could describe the entire incident in one fell swoop."

"That isn't necessary. I'll take your word for it. I will handle this later. Right now, call Apollo here. I need a word with him."

I bowed and left, telling a muse that Apollo's wanted by Zeus. She raced off to his overly bright palace and disappeared.

I sighed and returned to my own home. Annabeth was still there, deep in thought.

"What is the matter, daughter? Sphinx got your tongue?"

"No mother, only, that girl seemed familiar, somewhat. I feel as though she is supposed to be among us here, on Olympus."

"Ridiculous. You heard her; she's from a place called Void. Zeus knows where that is." Lightning almost struck our palace, hitting the tree in front instead.

"Strike that, even Zeus doesn't know. Then again, that place sounded ancient. Shall we research it?"

"Oh let's, mother. That's my favourite pastime." Annabeth responded enthusiastically.

A sudden buzzing sounded in my ear. Only one thing could cause that. I stared ahead in fear. "Annabeth, camp is under attack!"

Annabeth PoV

"Annabeth, camp is under attack!"

I turned in alarm toward my mother who'd already teleported to Zeus' palace. I decided to go to camp first, using the new method Hephaestus invented as payment for his palace. I snapped my fingers and twirled 3 times, concentrating on my destination.

I appeared a few meters from Thalia's tree. Even after several centuries, this place still brought back memories. Looking down, I saw a weird looking creature jumping over the campfire into the lake. Another creature was hopping, literally, through the trees of the forest. Demigods of all ages were fighting other monsters, sadly, looking like ants against the gargantuan creatures.

Already, several demigods had been knocked unconscious. Worry for my siblings overcame me and I stormed into the fray like a madman, or woman, if you will.

Praying to my mother for some wisdom, I grabbed the nearest weapon and began stabbing every monster I could. A couple disintegrated immediately. Some didn't even look fazed, just madder. I was shocked. Some of the monsters weren't even of Greek origin. So how'd they track us here?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Adriana battling a giant blue 'thing'. She was quite nimble, dodging constantly when suddenly, a fist crashed into her and knocked her ten feet away. Abandoning my own fight, I rushed up to her. I was not about to lose her. No, I will NOT!

As I made that resolve, a stranger appeared out of a portal similar to that I had seen on Olympus. Again, no one saw. At least until he uttered a single word and caused every monster that didn't belong to drop and float toward him. He and the monsters then entered the portal and all of them disappeared.

Now, to replying.

Guest (13/4/13): Correct! And thank you!

Wisdom girl: Why, thank you very, very much!

xRoaringAngelx: Well, you got the gist of it, so it counts as CORRECT!

The Great God Hermes: THANK YOU for all those compliments. In return, I can assure you that the vial of nitroglycerin will not be needed.

Tigger (Guest): Correct!

arcee jackson: Thanks for reviewing!

Hmm, I noticed that when I went through the reviews, only a few answered the question about 'ABC'. They all got the first reason right though. Let's give a big hand to Guest(13/4/13), xRoaringAAngelx, Tigger (Guest) and Brook Uchiha-Spark Alchemist!

By the way, the second reason is that I used to be labeled a know-it-all (by quite a few of my classmates) and had the ABC added to the end of my name, just because it rhymed, by my, TEACHER, of all people (The ABC part). Ah, the painful childhood memories. Nowadays no one dares to call me that. _

Ah, I just went through my old fave movies and found The Little Mermaid III by chance. Apparently, someone already paired up, in name, Athena and Triton, a descendent of the sea, eh?
