AN: We made a few changes that is important to the story in the future so I highly recommended that you reread the entire story again before you start to read chapter 4. There's not much only the ending of chapter 2 and parts of chapter 3.

TheGeomasterz have added more details into chapter 3. Greek mythology can never really be proven so we will stick with Homer and stories of a few other Greek authors. There will also be perspective views that some may have missed.

Anyway, here is chapter 4 and please review.

Chapter 4: The Trouble That Comes After

When the Greek counselor reached the centre of the camp exhausted and drenched with sweat, outraged was the only description that could describe their feeling. At the sight before them, bloodied corpses of demigods laid all over their beloved home which seemed to be sprinkled with traces of monster dust. The area was bloody and there seemed to be nothing out there except vast amount of arrows sticking out from the grounds.

Will and a few others checked on a few demigods lying near then to find some still alive, barely breathing and had just fainted from exhaustion. The cabins laid in ruins and the roof torn off from the Big House. Looking around you could literally see vast memories of the battle floating around and cries of help wanting to be heard.

The old campers and counselors knew that it was partly their fault leaving them alone like that. But you cannot change the past and must move on but that still doesn't mean they can't feel depressed.

They started to move forward to help bring the demigods away to a safer area and will decide their next move. But as they started to move an arrow came and took its hold in front of them. They turned around to stare at silver arrows pointed between their eyes. They couldn't believe that they didn't feel the presence of so many people. They turned to face the infamous men hating Hunters of Artemis.

"Drop your weapons" said the small blonde girl with hazel eyes holding a knife under Jake's chin.
"But we're on your side!" argued Jake only to receive stares and snarls.
"Girls let them go" shouted an authoritative voice from behind.
The Hunters disperse making a way and letting go of the campers, infront of them was the daughter of Zeus.

"Thalia!", shouted everyone a smile plastered on their faces.
"What are you doing here?" Katie asked and walked up to give her a friendly hug.
"Well we happened to be in New York last order of milady, to stick around camp and Alicia, daughter of Apollo had a bad feeling that there was trouble at camp so I IM-ed camp and saw how bad the situation was with demigods falling back and monsters killing them one by one so we hurried here and helped out. It took us some time to take control of the situation but we were still outnumbered so some of us are injured as well. We were wondering where you guys were and thought about searching..."
Phoebe then stepped up, "...but the monsters fled when there were only a few left so we had to survey the area to see if there was more of them".

Another horn sounded as the Party Ponies, aka the centaurs, who-knows-how-many distant cousins of Chiron, galloped proudly knowing that they had succeeded their part and showed those monsters to not mess with them. Chiron gave Thalia a hug and the campers and hunters tried to get along as the night came along. Thalia ordered the hunters to set up camp near the lake so they can watch over the ocean and forest. The Party Ponies held a small feast drinking root beer as to how they got them Chiron will never know. Chiron stepped up and stomped his staff to have everyone's attention.

"Heroes, Hunters and Centaurs. Today we faced another challenge that threatened to destroy our race and tore down our home. Yet we stand and fight for the goods of every living creatures and another victory was ensured with the help from the Hunters of Artemis and the Party Ponies. I am proud of all of you but no matter what, this is not the end and they will not stop. Rest up, we got a long night ahead of us."

The demigods disbanded making a temporary shelter to rest up for the night leaving the Party Ponies to party and take the first watch.
Chiron sighed and looked around, surveying the camp. Ruins remains where the cabins laid and the Camp now looked like trashed. The forest is filled with dead trees and hundreds of burnt twigs and branches. He saw the surviving nature spirits embracing each other and crying for their lost friends, family members and love ones. He hoped that they could withstand the onslaught long enough for the seven to win the war, it's a matter of time before they got overran. After that disturbing thought Chiron went to the infirmary to check on the injured. The Apollo cabin were staying up tending the demigod from the battle before. Tomorrow the dead shall be honoured and burned for their heroic deeds and sacrifice.

That night it was raining heavily, pouring down from the sky. Wind clashed with tremendous force as it blew towards Camp Half-Blood. Lightning struck down trees and lit them on fire. If it wasn't for the rain the fire would have spread. No one dared to come outside. Thunder boomed in the distance that sounds like shots of cannon and making the kids wail. It was freezing and there were actually ice shards of frozen branches nearly everywhere. A hand of darkness seems to cover Camp Half-Blood like it was a ball or an orb, filling it with dread and giving a sinister and negative feeling. Darkness crept towards camp half-blood giving a chill down everyone's spine. Tree spirits, dryads and the nymphs ran to hide in the Big House and a few went into the forest.

Somewhere hidden in the night beneath the luminous glow of the moon near Mount Othrys, hundreds upon hundreds of monsters gathered thinking up their move carefully. They have underestimated these offsprings of the gods but never again will they fail their mistress. They have tried attacking that camp demigods called home countless of time each time with an immense army including dangerous surprises but it all failed. Now they just need to wait for the right time to strike. There will be no more mercy.

The next day shine with a bright light and most of the demigods have already left the dining hall and preparing for more intrusion from enemies. Rumours have spread about the incident with the Romans and that their next target is camp have shocked the Greeks. They have heard about the skills of the Romans from Jason and their renowned brutal ways of fighting. After Chiron confirmed the devastating truth causing campers prepared traps and defences with great haste.

Normally the Hermes cabin would be pranking the Demeter cabin and the Demeter cabin would running after the Hermes cabin trying to strangle them with vines but today they worked as a team the Demeter cabin helped the Hermes and the Hephaestus cabin putting explosives and other traps underground with their powers that were especially made for those cold blooded creatures that have killed their brothers and sisters. Even the Hypnos cabin which normally would be sleeping soundlessly not caring about anything are helping out as much they can. The Athena cabin were thinking up of battle plans as usual. They know now that their numbers are low and will give the monster advantages so they needed the element of surprise. The Ares prepared the war machines, new invention courtesy of the Hephaestus cabin. The Aphrodite cabin were taking a last look in the mirror confidence plastered on their face ready to save the camp from the threat ahead. The Hecate cabin were practicing magic that would help in the near battle. The Nemesis cabin were planning revenge on the monster for taking the lives of their fellow campers, their families who had done nothing wrong and deserved more justice. Meanwhile Chiron smiled at the teamwork they have shown during time of need and he knew that anything could be achieve if they stick together.

Next up was the time to burn the ceremonial shroud. Demigods lined up sharing a moment of peace to show respect for the people who have sacrificed their life for camp but one thing was sure they will not die in vain and the field of battle that was dedicate as a final resting place for the demigods who have given their lives believing in camp and the campers to endure and be victorious will not be tread by those heartless creatures. After a moment of shredding their tears and feeling remorse for them the last thought on everyone mind was they will pay. As time passed by confidence and determination built up in the Greeks to fight the endure the war ahead.

Suddenly a loud screech was heard piercing through the sky. From Camp Half-Blood Greek demigods turned their heads and saw eagles soaring through the sky in a formation at an incredible speed. The Greeks took notice and paled. They didn't think it was going to come this quick. They were still at war with the monsters if the Romans attack now they will be vulnerable and might lose control over camp. This is certainly a bad omen.

The Romans looked up ahead and saw the road leading to the Greek camp with determination in their eyes wanting to restore honour to their New Rome and ending their ancient feud once and for all demolishing their race once again.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." Octavian voiced boomed. "Today we shall kill those abominable Greeks. We shall conquered the Greeks like what we Romans did two thousand years ago. They shall face the wrath of Rome and the punishment of insulting our pride!". The Romans roared in approval and clash their weapons together. Even though some don't believe it's fair to take it out on the Graecus as they called it but the choice wasn't theirs to make.

"We shall fight to our last breath and conquered the Greeks! For New Rome!" Octavian yelled.
The Romans in formation charged as one into their destination, Camp Half-Blood.

Chiron's POV
Romans. Were my first thought. This is certainly going to be bloodshed. I quickly gathered all the campers and started my eloquent speech.
"As you all know, the Romans are going to wage war on us because of an unfortunate misunderstanding but there is nothing we can do to prove otherwise." The campers all nodded and some growl.
"And I also fear that they are now advancing on us as we speak." Everyone again nodded in understanding and quickly checked if they have all their weapons and quickly re-adjust their armour.
"I haven't have time to say this but I am immensely proud at what you all accomplished during this fateful war your will and heart to protect you friends and family. Whatever happen we will stay strong and fight till the end. Do not be afraid of Romans, they are just demigods like we are. You have work as a team and a team you all shall be. This feud has been on for too long and it must end. There was a reason for the gods to separate us. Too many people have died because of this. The tension between us and the Romans has never been stronger since our last animosity of the Romans may be more than ours but today we are not fighting for dominance but for own survival. We will protect our home! For Camp" raising my sword.

Everyone shouted in response feeling certainty and array ready to fight, some even had tears in their eyes but they quickly scampered away to take up their positions. Those who was here in the last war smiled remembering last time and moved out.

The Apollo cabins climbed the trees or cabins, readying their bowstring as the rest took up position on the ground or in the bushes, ready to ambush the Romans. The Hecate cabin hid behind cabins, preparing to perform spells as the Hephaestus cabin and the Ares cabin quickly mounted their giant crossbows or flaming catapults. The fight that will determine their fate is about to begin.

AN
Hey guys! This is Obsidian Assassin here and I'm sorry for the long update so I just increase the Chapter length.
TheGeomasterz: This isn't going to be just some story based on random and crazy ideas but it has been figured out from the beginning to end in details. It just needs time to be written out so please stay tune.

Response to Reviews: Replier Obsidian Assassin
: No it would not be a pertemis story. Sorry folks but TheGeo have different ideas. Have to stay tuned.
percyjason: We will try and gradually increase more details and chapter length.
The Masteress: We already have a plot how Percy and Annabeth broke up that isn't some silly break story and you should read the author notes because we have already wrote it there and about the OCs, well, read the author notes in chapter 1. TheGeomasterz don't like random ideas that doesn't have a solution or OOCs.
