Percy's POV
I awoke from my calm sleep to Reyna bustling around the room.
"What's up baby," I asked. Reyna looked at me, for the first time realising that I was awake.
"Chaos just called. Meeting at 0900 hours," Reyna replied, walking over to the bed and planting a kiss on my lips. I put my hand on her cheek to deepen the kiss but she pushed me away playfully.
"No time Seaweed Brain," Reyna said sultrily, "Maybe later if you're good,"
"I'll hold you to that," I replied, pecking her on the cheek. I walked into the closet and got some clothes. I had a quick shower and walked into the living room. Thalia was sitting on the couch watching TV. In the nicest way, she was starting to look pregnant. Her stomach had gotten a lot bigger. Eddie was talking to Reyna at the bar while he was cooking breakfast for Reyna and I. Thalia's and Eddie's plate's were on the table and Reyna's was being served up.
"Hey Perce," Thalia said as I walked past the couch.
"Morning Perce. You good with an omelette?" Eddie called from the bar.
"One of Eddie Kenway's famous omelette's. Get me two man," I called, making everyone laugh.
"Two omelette's coming up," Eddie clicked his fingers and two omelette's appeared on a plate in front of him. He picked up his plate and Thalia's and walked over to the couch, giving breakfast to his pregnant wife. She pecked him on the lips and dug in to her breakfast. I sat up on one of the bar stools and started pigging down the omelettes. They tasted amazing. Eddie was the best cook. I guess because he could cook a meal in under a second and he could make 1000's of attempts in 10 seconds. In about 5 minutes I had the omelettes down and was still enjoying the aftertaste of the omelette. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was 5 minutes to 9o'clock. Eddie cleaned up, which took him no time at all and we all headed to Chaos' office. We walked in to find Chaos reading through a file.
"What's up Chaos," Thalia said. He looked at us and then went back to his file.
"We have had trouble on Neulara. Take a look," Chaos said, gesturing towards the screen. We sat down and the lights dimmed. We saw a woman standing in front of a fortress.
"Last night, my husband, Jarl Okki, was murdered in cold blood while sitting in his throne. His steward and the Battlemaster were also slain. My son saw the whole thing and says that this was the work of someone in the Chaos army, who we consider our allies. However in light of these events, we must denounce the Chaos army as our allies. They may have helped us in the past but it seems that they will not help us now," The woman called across the courtyard to the people in attendance. The screen faded to black and the lights swung back on.
"That, my commanders is the wife of Jarl Okki, Ayerf. About 2 years ago, local rebels tried to overthrow Okki and take over the kingdom. However with help of Omega squad, they were swiftly defeated," Chaos explained.
"I remember that. We tried to negotiate with the rebels but they refused everything so we were forced into battle," Eddie replied.
"Yes well it seems that one of our soldiers has gone rogue or we are looking at someone who is trying to undermine everything that we have done over the last 1000 years and even previously," Chaos stated.
"Or a mixture of both," Thalia added.
"I want you to go to Neulara to negotiate with Ayerf," Chaos said. Then he looked at Eddie
"Take Spence with you. He was the general in charge of Operation Firestorm. She'll remember him," He said to Eddie.
"Got it," We all said, before standing and leaving his office. We went straight to the meeting room and on the way Eddie called Spence. When we got there, Spence was standing outside. His hair was long and brown. He wore red sunglasses and had a simple Earth outfit on.
"What's up Eddie," Spence said as we walked up.
"We have an incident in Neulara. Chaos recommended you because of your past experience with the planets inner workings," I said.
"What happened," Spence questioned.
"Jarl was killed last night. Assailant said that he was a Chaos assassin," Reyna said.
"Oh my god," Spencer said, moving his hand to cover his mouth.
"Get your ready bag and head to one of the jet fighters. We'll meet you there in 2 hours," Eddie said. Spence nodded and sprinted for the Omega barracks. We made our way to our ship where we had all of our weapons and armour ready to go. Hopefully we won't need it. Within 15 minutes Eddie and I were doing final checks before take off. As we revved the engines, one of the fighters pulled out. Guessing that it was Spence, I put the ship into forward and we followed him out of the hanger.
"You guys prepped for hyper drive," Spence asked over the intercoms.
"Ready when you are Spence," Eddie replied.
"3…2…1…" They said in unison before Eddie pushed down the hyper drive lever. The ship lurched slightly and the ship shot forward. Time and space warped around us. Eddie and I put the ship on autopilot and went into the living area. Thalia curled up into Eddie's body and Eddie kissed her forehead and stroked her hair lovingly. Reyna grabbed me by the scruff of my shirt and pulled me into a kiss. It only felt like a minute but I heard Spence's voice over the intercom and pulled away from my kiss with Reyna and ran into the cockpit. Eddie was right behind me and he got straight on the intercom.
"What's up Spence?" Eddie asked.
"10 seconds until arrival," Spence said over the intercom. Eddie put his hand on the hyper drive lever and prepared to exit hyper drive.
"3…2…1," Spence said and after 1 Eddie pulled back the hyper drive lever and the ship suddenly jerked backwards and we saw a planet in front of us. It looked similar to Earth however there were only 2 continents that I could see and most of the planet was water. We followed Spence down and landed a few miles from the Neulara gates. We landed and opened the doors. We went into the meeting area on the ship and a minute later, Spence walked into the room and sat on one of the chairs.
"So how should we go about this," I asked.
"I think we send Spence and Thalia," Eddie stated. We all looked at him slightly confused.
"Well Spence is the obvious choice because of his democratic history and Thalia will appeal to Ayerf's maternal instinct," Eddie replied. This made sense and we all nodded in agreement.
"I think you should go as well Eddie," Reyna said. We all nodded to that.
"Ok. I'm up for it," Eddie said. They all walked outside and sprinted at super-speed to the kingdom. All Reyna and I could do was sit and wait for them to get back.
