Chapter 2-

Somewhere in the middle of the Universe-

3rd person POV-

Several cloaked figures sat around a huge table. They were all decked completely in armors and sat as if in await of someone. There was complete silence and each person's face was completely devoid of emotion. All of them sat on huge thrones, but the biggest was surely the one at the head of the table. It seemed to be made out of the matter of space itself and radiated so much power; it made the others seem like specs of dust.

Suddenly, darkness filled the room. The temperature dropped considerably. The figures did not seem surprised at all with the sudden change and were still emotionless. Then suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the middle of the room. It seemed as if the fabric of the Universe was tearing apart. Then out of the portal like structure, stepped out a man. The power he emitted was enormous. He was completely covered in armor and his face was hidden by the hood of the cloak he was wearing above his armor. However, the figures did not have to see his face to know who he was. They all stood up and bowed to the man and for the first time showing some expression on their faces. 'Respect'. But considering who the man was, anyone would show respect. The man sat down on his throne at the head of the table and waved his hand for the figures to sit down.

"Generals, today I have called you here for a very important reason. The Greeks are in trouble" he said in a deep and powerful voice. After hearing this several people started muttering. "I am going to offer our help, to help them in defeating the threats." At this, the people started muttering even more. Several of them had unhappy looks on their face, but did not dare to speak out. The man continued, "I know several of you have problems with helping the Greeks and the Romans but in order to keep the Universe at balance, some sacrifice is required."

One of the figures spoke out, "My Lord, which sectors will be going?" The man replied, "I would like the top five sectors to go, as this will be an extremely difficult battle. So sectors 1, 2, 3, 8, 11 will be going. Generals of these sectors, you will be leaving in a week's time. Generals of sectors 4 and 9, I want your troops to be on standby incase some help is needed." "My Lord, who will we be facing" said another figure asked. At this the man just laughed and said, "You will find out when you reach there. Now all of you are dismissed. Generals of the sectors who are going please stay back. I need to give you some instructions."

Immediately the other figures who were not told to stay back stood up and left the room. After a few minutes the other figures also exited the room leaving only the man behind.

"Time to speak to the Greeks", He said and disappeared.

Back at Olympus-

3rd person POV-

The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus were still arguing. Many of them thought that they should have told their Demigod children the entire truth while some felt it was right that they didn't tell them. "The truth would shock them" said Hera. "Especially since this whole war is because of that son of….." "Stop! Do not speak his name. He is a shame to Olympus", said Zeus. "We cannot win this war Father. The circumstances are stacked against us" said Athena. Apollo said, "Yes we barely survived against Gaea but she has the help of….."

Before he could finish a voice was heard. "What about me? I can help you". In a jiffy, all the Gods had their weapons drawn and were searching for the source of the voice. "Put those weapons away." the voice chided. "You can't possibly beat me." "Who are you" thundered Zeus. "Me? That is none of your business old man." "How dare you! I will destroy…." The voice cut him in the middle of the sentence and said "Ya Ya, whatever. Anyway I am here to offer my help in your war. My troops will be arriving next week during your council meeting. They will explain everything then."

With that the voice went silent, leaving the Gods in a complete state of confusion. "That was pretty odd" said Poseidon. "Yes it was. Who is he and what troops is he talking about. Humph!" said Athena, who hated not knowing anything. "Anyway they offered us help and that's all that matters" said Zeus. "We will find out everything next week. Council dismissed"

What they didn't know was, that someone was eavesdropping on them and heard the entire conversation.

"My Lady, I have found something that will shock you", he said to someone. She replied, "Excellent Robert, excellent."
