John POV
Eventually the game finished after 9 lost a drinking competition and wanted to remove all off his clothing; we were quick to leave the room. We trudged back to our dorm room everyone tired but happy for the stress relieve the game provided. I was concentrating as hard as I could to try and remember the rest of the Garde. Somehow I knew what numbers were missing but I couldn't picture their faces or powers or anything. On the way in I noticed 6 and 9 talking.
"Hey do you guys want to go get 6's chest?"
6 frowned,"Wait, they have our chests?"
"Yeah they've like taken a weapon that everyone will need."
"For what?"
"Not entirely sure, we're helping out a magical community. Not sure what for though."
"So," Maren swallowed, disgust clearly evident on her face,"We're thrown into a war to fight something that doesn't concern us when we're in the middle of our own war?"
"Pretty much."
"Great, lets go get my chest and then go blow off some steam; I need to use my powers."
We all grinned and went to 4's room to collect 6's chest. 4 looked at us,"So another person joins the crew?"
"Yeah, this is number 6."
"Hello, come on and have a look."
When we arrive to where the crate is I'm surprised to find Percy and Annabeth there already.
"Percy, is Annabeth one of your people?"
"Yeah, she is. I take it Maren is yours?"
"In a sense."
6 drops down onto her knees and pushes through each chest until she comes to hers, which she lifts out using telekinesis. "I'm glad to have it back! Lets go fight boys, bring it." She narrows her eyes playfully.
9 is so excited he's practically skipping and I'm ready for a fight myself using my full powers. Percy frowns, "Wait, what fight?"
"We're just practicing using our legacies again."
"Legacies?"
"Don't worry,"
"Can I join in? Fair fight then?"
6 hesitates, "NO, we'll probably crush you."
Percy looks at her incredulously. "Seriously, your not going to let me have a go?"
6 shrugs, "Nothing personal, promise."
I sigh, "Percy Im sorry but we have powers and don't want to hurt you."
Percy shakes his head, "I can hold my own, trust me."
I think for a moment and sigh, 'There must have been a reason he was included in this 'team'. Besides, if something goes wrong I've got my-"
"I've got ambrosia." Percy cuts in, "It strengthens me and over time heals me."
9 cocks an eyebrow at him. "We've got Johnny boy here, who can heal you almost instantly."
Percy shrugs, "Whatever, Annabeth will come too. She's more that capable of defending herself."
"No more even teams."
"Oh well."
"Whatever, lets go down to the beach so no one will see."
Percy grins, "The beach? Brilliant, home territory."
We look at him suspiciously but head towards our dorm to quickly change into training clothes. Once we've geared up we walk make our way quietly towards the exit and out into the fresh air that knocks us a step back. I notice Percy fiddling with a pen and Annabeth twirling a dagger in her hand. They both looks relaxed, and I have to admit confident. After a half an hour walk we find a secluded spot on the beach where we can fight; the ocean is next to us and there are trees tall enough to provide cover for us, and they reach around in an ark. I stand there, my clothes whipping around me.
"So, what are the teams? Or is it just all in?"
9 grins, "Teams. Garde onto them. What are you anyway?"
Percy smirks slightly at Annabeth and turns back to 9. "Demigods."
"That's a cute little nickname. What can you do?"
"I guess you'll find out."
I step in, sensing something about to go crazy. "Percy do you guys have supernatural powers?"
"I kind of do, Annabeth doesn't."
I sigh, "Only two at a time from us, no excessive use of powers against Annabeth; hand to hand combat though?" I raise my eyebrows at Annabeth.
"Yes, definitely. Bring. It. On."
"Okay then. 9, wait out for this round."
"Why?" He growled out.
"Because you'll go full force. We need to see how they fight and if they can handle your, uh, cruelty."
9 rolls his eyes and gestures for us too start. I face of against Percy; 6 against Annabeth. Percy smiles and pulls his pen out, uncapping it and turning it into a sword. I frown. Maybe we underestimated them. Shaking my head I think that that cant be an option; we have to be prepared for anything. He slowly backs up until the waters lapping around his ankles, and to prepare I get a ball of fire in my hand. He looks at me shocked, before regaining his composure and nodding. I throw one half-heartedly, to see what will happen but in a blur he's jumped forwards and deflected it using his sword. I get another one and hurl it at him using my full force, but he just deflects it again. Getting 3 ready I throw them at him in succession, no breaks but he deflects two and jumps over the 3rd one.
The jump lands him further into the water so I follow him in, until the water is lapping around my ankles. I am vaguely aware of the girls fighting to my left and 9 lying down on my right. Using my telekinesis I pull him out of the water but somehow the water comes with him and I find myself fully submerged.
Trying to light my lumen I try to escape but it flickers and dies out. Percy stands behind me readying to fight and I flip around and kick him squarely in he chest. He lets the water drop around us and we fall back into the ocean. I kick up strongly from the bottom and gulp in air greedily, using my telekinesis to propel me towards the shore so that I'm out of Percy's domain.
I light my lumen up and shine it into the ocean trying to find him but without luck. From out of nowhere seemingly a ball of water crashes into me, the momentum knocking me to the ground. I light myself on fire and jump up already focusing on fighting him he tackles me to the ground, crying out as he touches the fire surrounding me. I throw fireball after fireball at him and he deflects them, until I use my telekinesis to rip his sword out of his hand and throw it into the forrest. He looks frustrated and focuses on dodging the attacks I'm launching at him. Finally one hits him and he cries out in pain, but stands up continuing to fight. I vaguely realise that he's leading the fight back to the water but I let him and keep up my attack when he hits the water he becomes stronger, and all of a sudden Im lying in the sand with his sword at my throat.
9 whistles from behind me, "Johnny boy, this kid just beat you."
"Fights not over yet." I push him of me using telekinesis and rush forward, tackling him to the ground. He flies backwards and we both roll, but I land on top and mange to punch his jaw. He flips his legs over my head, rolling us again so I disentangle myself and push away, jumping up. He has a wall of water looming behind him, me a wall of fire. We stand off against each other, both of us wanting to finish it and neither wanting to concede. Finally clapping pulls us out of our trance and we both turn to see Jace standing there clapping.
"Well fought lads, well fought. Those idiots that we have to fight will have no idea whats coming for them."
9 groaned, "Would you look at this, goldylocks has come out to play."
Jace chuckles, "Very amusing Stanley; the green eyed monster has come out to play."
9 rolls his eyes. "Whatever Jace. Now, Johnny can we fight for real?"
time skip
We walked back to the dauntless compound grinning from the fight we just had. It was intense, and there was no clear winner but everyone had a good shot, even Jace who was a golden blur when fighting much to Stanley's disgust. I turn and face everyone, causing them to all look at me.
"We should train like this more; like we'l gather anyone that has their memories and fight against each other more and stuff."
Percy grinned, "War of the worlds."
"Something like that. So…tomorrow? Gather everyone that has regained memories. Jace, Percy how many people have you remembered so far?"
Jace smirks, "All of them."
"Oh, well, good job. Percy?"
He blushes a little, "Just the one."
Jace glares at him. "Are you shitting me, he was given the most and is terrible at remembering them."
Percy looks away.
"Yeah whatever Jace. If your interested I've only found 2."
"More than what he has," Jace declares glaring daggers at Percy again.
I shrug and we trudge back inside and crawl into our beds, each of us so tired that our breathing becomes regular instantly.
Percy POV
I wake up in the night when I feel the bed weight shift beneath me. I panic for a moment before I realise that Annabeth is snuggled under my arm against my chest. I chuckle softly and kiss her on the head before falling into a dreamless sleep.
A/N Im so sorry for such a long wait with only a short update, but its something. Thank you for anyone who's supporting me in this story; I usually forget to say it but it means so much to me. Also, fear landscapes are coming up, tell me what fears they should have, besides obvious ones like Annabeths fear of spiders. Thanks guyzz,
