Here is Chapter 6!

Third person's Pov:

Chris was shaking his head frantically, "Nuh-uh. No way. Malcolm, are you insane? We can't pull this plan off! There is absolutely no way..." Everyone shared worried glances at each other as Malcolm looked determined as ever. The plan did sound impossible, almost suicidal to an extent.

Flashback:

Chiron, Nico, and the rest of the Council Leaders gathered in the room. Malcolm started to introduce his plan. "I created a plan and the plan is to have no plan." Everybody looked confused and uncomfortable.

"Err...Malcolm. What do you mean?" Travis asked.

"This family is a lot more dangerous than what people can give them credit for. They have the ability to mess with your mind which means any plan that you have in your head will be open to them when you are asleep." Malcolm said.

"Whoa wait... we are going to fight the bad guys in our sleep? Are we copying that movie inception or something?" Chris questioned.

"No...Well to some extent yes but not exactly. You see, Morpheus, god of dreams, did have an affair with a mortal once. His son, Christopher Nolan, is the director of that movie. He figured somehow that this was going to happen and created that movie as a warning. The only problem is that some things he was right about and others he either guessed or didn't know." Malcolm informed. "Now I do have a plan for this whole thing which means that I'm one of the people who stays here at camp. I can't go there or else they will know everything."

"Where is there? Where will we be fighting? No one is naming a place!" Katie(K) demanded, slightly frustrated.

"I was getting to that." Malcolm said. "The fight will be in Morpheus' head." Everybody looked at him as if he had just grown three heads.

"Excuse me?" Katie asked.

"You heard me," Malcolm said. "The fight is in Morpheus' head. When we dream, people believe that it is in our own head but actually our 'spirits' I guess you can call them, travel to Morpheus by Hypnos. He had access to your mind and knows every thought, secret, plan, just basically anything from anybody. Now you see why I can't tell you guys the plan."

"Oh my gods..." Vanessa muttered.

Malcolm decided to continue, " Now I teamed up with Mary and she is now creating a Memory machine that allows us to probe through your brain and pick which thought or memory we don't want the enemies to know about. For example, family members or friends. So unfortunately, you guys won't remember important facts about each other or this conversation for that matter when the battle begins. You will only know me as Malcolm and will know that you can trust me but there will be no feelings of friendship or love nor will you know my appearance. It will be the same for the other seven of you but memory and feelings of parents, siblings, and other friends not associated with this quest will be completely erased. So technically you all will be reacquainted with each other again and will be smart enough to know whom you can trust and whatnot. Nico here is already shadow traveling to your friends and family and temporarily erasing their memory so the plan is already in motion."

Katie's Pov: (still flashback)

My mind was like racing a million miles per hour. Only bits and pieces of the plan were being processed through my mind. I won't remember my dad, my aunts, James and Elizabeth, fellow campers, Leila, Katie(K), Jake, Travis...

"So all we will be are mindless killing machines?" Chris said, frustrated.

Malcolm turned to him. "Well if you want to put it that way then yeah. But don't worry...after the quest Mary and I will return your memory...and to your families also." Everyone relaxed a little more as Chiron quietly excused himself to speak with the oracle.

Okay...so the precautions are undergoing so what about the quest itself? How will we even wind up in the head of Morpheus?" Katie(K) asked.

"The family is literally making the dream a reality. I got an update about the situation of the already affected areas. Apparently everything is back to normal but it's not. The affected folks are in a dream-like state but they are awake, daydreaming in other words. This allows the enemy to be in control while in the real world. That is when they escape and...Weird unexplained things happen." Malcolm said.

Nico interrupted for a moment. "I hope you guys do realize that this will hit and spread throughout the United States in about two weeks. This family isn't wasting any precious time. Chiron has ordered me to do emergency demi-god retrieval. I'm only getting the ones that know about Camp Half-Blood. So the others from the Titan War will be here shortly." Malcolm nodded in agreement.

"Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page...Nico is the messenger, Mary and Malcolm will be the two staying in camp while the rest of us basically go out there and 'adapt to survive.' What communications are we using in order to talk to Malcolm, Mary?" Jake asked.

"Well I created a special frequency ear piece that Malcolm will be able to talk to you guys while in the battle. He has a spot and plan for each individual person so all you have to do is listen to him, find each other, and go with your instincts, I guess." Mary informed.

Leila decided to ask the question that everyone was dreading for. "What if the plan doesn't work? What will happen to us then?"

Malcolm looked down sadly. "I don't know... become mindless freaks maybe. I just know that this is the first time that the enemy is also using its powers to affect mortals, not just demi-gods so EVERYONE will be in some deep trouble if we fail."

Chris groaned. "This is making my head hurt... So we will be fighting in the 'real world' but the real world is slowly becoming Morpheus' head, which is the dream world? And we can still get killed and stuff, right?" Everyone nodded tiredly.

"Remember we still have the choice whether or not we want to fight." Jake reminded everyone. Chiron entered back into the room.

"Alright...meeting adjourned." Chiron ended.

End of flashback

3rd person's pov: (present time)

"Look," Malcolm said, "I warned you guys that this plan was going to be risky and that the odds weren't going to be in our favor." He sighed, rubbing his temple with eyes shut. "They sent us a note or a deal/wager you would say a couple of days ago." Everyone turned in surprise.

"You mean 'they' as in the enemy?" Katie(K) asked. Malcolm nodded, eyes still closed.

"They made a deal saying that they will leave our camp alone in exchange that we don't fight against them. They gave us this package and inside is a red button. If it isn't pressed by tonight then they are going to assume that we will not fight and this package will disappear and Camp borders will strengthen to an extreme. I mean that no one, not even the gods could impenetrate the barrier. Nico wouldn't be able to 'poof' in and out even with his powers." Malcolm stopped himself for a second. He took out a metal box, placing it carefully in the middle of the table, and opened it to reveal a big shiny red button.

"So what did they say if we do press the button?" Vanessa asked quietly, staring intently.

Malcolm looked like he was in pain. "All they said was to be ready for the fight of our lives. They promised that the most recent Titan War will have some competition when deciding which one was most tragic." Everyone just stared at the button intently. "But just to end on a good note, they allowed us to name this war if we do decide to fight." Malcolm smiled a little.

Everybody got excited a little bit. Naming a war was something rare and very honorable if a hero was alive to name it. "So any name suggestions?" Jake asked.

"The Mind War? The Half-Blood War?" Chris suggested. Everyone shook their heads.

"No. They are the enemy is starting this so the name has to be something representing them." Travis said.

"Do we want to name it for who they are or what they are doing?" Mary asked.

"Whatever fits." Katie(K) shrugged.

"I got it!" Malcolm exclaimed. "What about the Psyche War?"

"Hmm... it does have a nice ring to it and it is related to what this war is about." Katie added. "I vote for it. Anyone who does not like the name, speak now or forever hold your peace." Everyone laughed.

"Alright well it is settled. We will fight this war and it is officially named the Psyche War." Leila declared as she slammed her hand on the red button. A slip of paper popped out of one of the box's slots as everything, along with the box itself disappeared. Leila grabbed the piece of paper as everyone else crowded around her to read the note. It only said four words, 'Let the games begin'.
