Chapter 3: Monstrous Help

Sakura leaned against a training post looking over the lake her lips pursed, "They aren't ready for a war." she said.

"Would they ever be?" Chiron asked as he walked up beside her, "Some of them are not even teens." he sighed, "They shouldn't have to fight."

"Yet they must because we are dealing with one of the evilest men… Titan, in the known world." she corrected, "We both know that this will either end with us the victors or the victims. I for one do not like to be a victim."

Chiron sighed, "Nor do I."

Sakura looked to him, "Chiron… I will only be able to go easy on the younger ones; the eldest will be thrown into my training at full force."

He nodded, "At least give them a few days to get used to some of the easier stuff before throwing them into your definition of training." he told her.

"I will, but it will be short period we can't afford to let them think this war might be easy."

Chiron nodded once more before turning and walking away, "We will win." he whispered.

"For all that its worth, I hope we do too." Closing her eyes she stood straight watching as the sun began to set, "Cya tomorrow Apollo." she commented turning her back and leaping off into the trees. She had a lot of work to do and only one night to get it completely set up.

Speeding through the trees she watched for the monsters that wondered the forest stopping when she came to a small clearing. Jumping down she walked to the center and kneeled dusting the ground she pulled a kunai from her pouch quickly glancing at the ornate blade its half gold and half bronze glinting in the miniscule light. She raised the kunai above her head and sliced it down into the ground runes that had been invisible only moments before seemed to explode into existence and then seemed to leak from the impact point, they formed a large circle that slowly began to sink.

A brilliant light shimmered from around the many runes and large chains flew passed her wrapping around the large trees pulling tight with immense strain. Standing she backed away, raising her hand as another chain suddenly shot toward her, she caught it with one hand then began to pull. The trees cracked and groaned with strain at the sudden weight that was put on them. A brilliant red glow shone lighting the clearing and washing all in its crimson path.

A deep growling came from within and the chains jerked back causing the trees holding them to crack loudly. Sakura glared at the large hole curling her lips back in a ferocious snarl she hissed, "You will get your asses out her or you will face me personally!" she threatened.

The chains still pulled tight against her dragging her toward the gaping hole, she growled, "Now your pissing me off…" she gave a heave and the chains strained before there was a loud crack and from the ground three giant beings were hauled.

Their bodies seemed to be made of dirt, one its outer shell glinted with hints of granite ground into its body while another looked to be solely plain growing soil, the third though made Sakura grin, she had aimed well she guess as this one seemed to be made from a lot more solid ore that the two that flanked it. It stomped its giant feet in warning readying to attack her, "Now now." she told it walking forward and surveying them. "You're here to help me, whether you like it or not."

It made a rumbling groan charging forward to take a swing but Sakura raised a hand, "Freeze."

With a screech it fell silent its rock fist inches from her face, Sakura smiled, "Don't make me throw you back down."

It slowly straightened its hulking body casting a shadow over her face, "Let's go yes? The sun is going to be rising soon and we still have a number of summons to perform before Apollo gets here for once I want to be an "Early Riser" as he put it." she told it turning on her heel she walked away listening as the three creatures followed close behind their crunching footsteps reverberating behind her. She smiled as she continued leading them, oh the surprise the campers would get.

A number of hours later Sakura wandered around the still sleeping camp Apollo had only just started his trek into the sky barely above the horizon. But still Sakura walked with purpose up to the ranch house and stopped outside, "Chiron." she said nodding to the centaur that stood waiting for her. "Sound the bugle." she ordered. He nodded then with a nod to Dionysus who had sauntered out of the house a moment before flicked his wrist and a blaring screech came from the large horn that over looked the camp.

Screams of surprise and yells of multiple curses came from the campers below and Sakura grinned walking away from the house the Centaur and God close behind her. They arrived at the Pavilion where sleepy eyed campers were scrambling around.

"What's going on?!"

"Why did they sound the Bugle?"

"What time is it?"

Were just a few of the tired questions being thrown about as more campers dragged themselves in rubbing sleep from their eyes.

"Well how many more to come?" Sakura asked looking to Chiron.

"About twelve." he answered surveying the campers.

"One of which is Percy Jackson." Sakura said walking to the head table and hopping atop its large expanse.

Soon all had arrived including a very tired looking Percy and Sakura smirked at them, "Good Morning." she greeted.

They all looked at her with varying degrees of confusion, "It's not even six in the morning!" a camper yelled, "Why are we up?"

"Simple really." Sakura said her voice amplified to echo around them.

The campers jumped at the volume, all looking on in attention at the pink haired titan. "Your training begins now." she stated.

Eyes widening they gawked, "It's not even six though! You expect us to believe we have to get up now for your training? Well it's not happening!" an Aphrodite camper yelled spinning on her heel to leave.

Sakura sighed disappearing from her place and appearing once more in the entrance to the pavilion, "Nobody is leaving, unless of course you want to meet my new friends." she said, "then we will get to see just how tough some of you are." she told them.

The campers paused, "Your new friends?" Percy asked as he looked at Sakura confused. "What do yo…." he trailed off mid-sentence as the ground suddenly rumbled and behind Sakura three large dirt creatures rose. "Behind you!" he yelled.

The other campers all reached for their weapons, Sakura smiled, "Well at least you aren't completely hopeless." she commented.

Confused the campers eyed her, "What? You have two massive monsters behind you!" One yelled looking horrified.

"Yes. I know. Like I said, my new friends. Any of you leave this Pavilion before I say you can and you will be facing one type of the three Golems that stand behind me. And trust me none of them are easy by any means to beat." she said as she walked toward the campers, "Now does anybody still feel the need to return to their cabins to sleep?" she said walking between them. All shook their heads, "Good, now take your seats."

They all obeyed scattering to the tables to wait for what was to happen next.

Sakura nodded her head in approval, "Now let us begin." She gave them all a chilling smirk as her eyes darkened in what only Chiron and Dionysus knew meant that things weren't going to be easy.
