At 4000, Percy woke up and wore his battle gear. When he got to the cafeteria, he went to the Hound's table. Everybody, there were joking around, but everybody knew about their mission and hard it would be. Attacking a god's base isn't the easiest thing in the world, but with their training, equipment, timing, and surprise on their side, there was a chance for them to win. When they were finished eating, they took all of their things and waited on top of the deck. Soldat was telling them how they are supposed to get there.

"Ok everybody. Command station gave us some Turkish Airline plane tickets, for us to get to Turkey. When we get our seat tickets from the airport, we will get to the luggage inspection. We will use our fake passport. Omega, here's yours. You are still Perseus Jackson, but other than that, everything else is different. After we get pass the inspection, hopefully, the regular Mist would cover up our weapons. If not, then we would go to Plan B, which conjures some Mist ourselves. Once we get into the airplane, we will go on with the rest of the plan." Everybody nodded. Percy felt excited. This was his first mission or quest as he use to call it, ever since the Giants War. Suddenly he sombers up remembering his old "friends and family." He shook his head and cleared his head. This was his new family! No regret now!

The Hounds and Percy entered a cruise boat and went to the Huntington Beach (which is in California) shore. Even though the Mist might be able to cover the submarine, they have to be careful. Once they got to shore, they got into one of the "safe" taxis. The safe taxis are taxis that were bought by Victoria and some of the demigods that used to serve the army are undercover, helping present demigods with their missions. When they got to the airport, they got into the airport without a hitch. Once the team gets onto the plane, Sodat revealed the rest of the of the plan. Once they get to Turkey, they will camp out about 50 miles away from the mountain where Ares's fortress lay. Then at 0000, they will infirmary the base by going through the sewer. The team tried to calm down their nerves by watching a few movies and TV shows on the airplane and tried to catch some sleep, but everybody was too busy thinking about the mission.

Once the airplane landed and the airport checked their passports and crew went to an area that was 50 miles from Ares's base. The sewers that they were supposed to go to is about 45 miles away from them. Once they set up camp, it was still 2:00 pm. Sodat had an idea.

"We'll split into 6 groups. Hound 1 and 2 is a group. 3 and 4 is a group. And so on. Percy and I will be a group now that we have 12 people. We'll all scout out the area, so when we take the base, we would know the area around it and plot it out on a map. We will have to change into mortal clothes too, just in case a mortal happens to be tending his cattle or hiking in the mountains. " Once everybody split up and changed into some mortal clothes, they went their separate ways, promising that when it was too dark to see anymore, they will go back to camp to get prepared. Sodat decided to start a conversation.

"So, Percy. How are you feeling, this being the first mission you have for, what, 1 year?"

"4 months. Man, this feels so weird, like sneaking around in perfect formations. Like, the Romans do the same thing, but it doesn't feel like the same things. And the Greeks don't care much about formations."

Sodat snorted, "That's why we have a better chance winning. They won't know what hits them."

Soon it was 6:00 so the pair decided to return to camp. Once they returned, all of the other pairs went into their tents and went to change into their combat clothes. Everybody had a helmet with their number and team logo on it. Percy's was blue, his number was a golden 3, and it had a curling wave with a silver skull in the middle. The wave had so much tones of blue than Percy even thought possible.

Then they sneaked into to the area where the sewers were and entered. Suddenly, a questioned entered Percy's mind. "How on earth are we supposed to exit the sewers?" Everybody looked at Sodat and he sighed. "There is suppose to be a fountain in Ares's fortress. Don't ask why is there is a fountain in the middle of a fortress." He added, looking at everybody's faces, "By this time the water is drained out so we don't have to worry about drowning, except for Percy here. Then, we will attack, taking them by surprise." Everybody nodded and kept quiet until they reached the area where the fountain's pipe, which was huge enough for a human to fit.

They loaded their weapons and one by one, entered the pipe. The Breacher goes first. Follows him is Grenadier, SMG Gunner, Officer, and the rest of the team enter, with MG gunner last. Then they found the opening to the main pipeline which was as big as a sewer line, then they heard voices coming from the opposite end of the sewer line. " Egon, we must check the backup filters," said a voice, then suddenly two uniformed men armed with Ak 47 s appeared across the hall. Then suddenly they were shot down by Hound 4 so fast and silent that they did not return fire. " Those men are demigods that were trained here, they were on their way to check on the backup filters so that mean there will be more enemies down the hall, we need a breach by that wall to get to the control room," Sodat explained the group. Then, Hound 2 took out a breach explosive and set it on the wall. The breach explosive blew the wall with the blast and a massive BOOOOOOOM rocked the fortress. Then an alarm went off, then the whole group charged into the room. The room was huge with large computers and data storages that seemed to be very advance, gunfire erupted everywhere, an enemy demigod ran up to Percy and sliced at him with his sword. Percy dodged then kicked him in the chest then the demigod went down with a groan.

Shots flew everywhere, enemy demigods fell by the dozen. Percy knew that they were winning until he got hit in the shoulder, and then he went down fell down, pain searing his shoulder. He hasn't felt so much pain for a long time. "Medic!" Percy gasped as Hound 5 came, took out tweezers, took out the bullet painlessly, then she took out bandages, and pressured the wound and gave him some ambrosia. The fight lasted on for a few more minutes until the control room was captured and Soldat turned off all of the Anti-Aircraft weapons and called for more troops.

Then after a few minutes later the reinforcement arrive and they went around, looking for enemy soldiers and help the super damaged ones. They loaded Percy on a stretcher because his legs were numb after an enemy soldier ran over him, trying to get away from the battle. He began to fall unconscious from the pain from his shoulder and legs. Before he blacked out, though, he saw an enemy demigod on one of the stretchers behind him. It was a camper he recognized from Camp Halfblood. The kid came from the Ares Cabin. Apparently Ares decided to position some of his kids inside of the fortress to either protect it or protect the kids. From his knowledge and experience of Ares, Percy knew it must be the first answer.

Percy realized that even though Victoria was the daughter of Poseidon and his cousin, Soldat's father was still Ares, yet he was more than glad to take over the base and harm some of his half-brothers. Soldat must be very angry with the gods for something to do this, he thought before his mind succumbs to the darkness, and he slept.
