CHAPTER 10
Past Heroes, Future Knights.

Somewhere in the forest;

"Hold on while I set the coordinate for the vortex." Ulixes was fiddling around with a small black ball that looked like a fireball.

"I'm still confuse, Percy… league of Khaos? The Voids? And by Khaos, do you mean the all-powerful being of the universe?" soft voice asked.

At that moment, Ulixes was done and the small ball became a large vortex.

"Please… for the sake of our friendship… don't call me Percy…" Ulixes said as he glanced at the kid.

"Fine… but I still need to know more, Per- Ulixes!" soft voice asked.

Ulixes sighed. "Khaos will explain everything you need to know. Come one. Step over."

Khaos Assembly;

"Milady. I've brought the two of which you…" Ulixes stopped walking and was taken aback by what he was seeing at the foot of Khaos throne.

Both of them turned around at the same time "Percy?!"

Khaos stood up. "Spare the reunion for later." Khaos voice echoed throughout the assembly. All five of them look at her.

"Gather around now." Khaos instructed.

Ulixes had a good feeling about this. He didn't know what it was but he was smiling. Khaos began her announcement.

"I've senses a great trouble brewing now on Earth. It might not be soon but I'm not taking any chances."

Long haired girl came forward and asked, "May I ask what's this impending trouble that you sensed?"

She was as polite as ever with her words. Although all her old way of talking was dropped.

Khaos continued. "I do not know for sure. Therefore, I'm gathering you five to form the elite of the elites. The voids!" The last word was echoed out loudly.

Matured voice guy put up his hand. "What can two ghost and two girl do?"

Long haired girl went up to him. "Choose your words wisely, men." The word men was said like a spat.

Matured voice guy step back with both his hands up indicating that he surrendered.

"I have no doubt with these two ladies abilities. Same goes for you two. The four of you will undergo the same training Ulixes went through. As for the ghostly problem…" Khaos snapped her finger.

The two guy who was translucent earlier, now became solid. As if they never died.

"Oh my gosh! This is so cool! I'm hungry… are you hungry?" soft voiced was jumping around happily.

"Relax, little guy. Let see what else we can get." Matured guy just fold his hands and smile.

"Now. Each one of you come forward to receive my blessing, equipments and a new power. Tell me your name and I'll give you a new one!" Khaos said as she brought her arm wide open.

Short haired girl was the first.

"I don't know what to say…" she said

"Just speak… it will come to you." Khaos assured her.

"Erm… " She stood there for a moment. Soon. She look up to Khaos with a brave face.

"My name is Bianca Di Angelo! Daughter of Hades, god of the underworld! I came here as the chosen one. By the name of Khaos, I will protect the universe and bring justice for the greater good!"

Long haired girl was next as she stepped forward.

"My name is Zoe Nightshade, Daughter of the Titan Atlas, Hunter of Artemis. I came here as the chosen one. By the name of Khaos, I swear to do my utmost duty to protect the peace!"

Soft voice kid went to Ulixes and smiled at him. Ulixes smiled back as he stepped forward.

"My name Aiden Blues, son of Apollo, god of the sun, and many others. I came here as the chosen one. By the name of Khaos, I shall bring the light of guidance to the universe!"

Lastly was the matured guy. He stood in line with the others and towered over them. He look at everyone and finally at Khaos.

"My name Perseus, son of Zeus, King of the gods and lightning. I came here as the chosen one. By the name of Khaos, I will be a friend of justice and serve them well!"

Khaos nodded. "Ulixes… you too…"

"My name is Ulixes… son of Poseidon, god on the sea and an earth shaker. I came here as the chosen one. By the name of Khaos, I will be the one that lead the true force of justice!"

With that, Khaos snapped her finger and all five of them were shrouded with glitter of light and as the light dispersed, they were all wearing a new equipment.

"As part of my special force. Everyone senses and ability are greatly enhanced. The weapons on you are also blessed and made with a special ingredient. Which mean the weapon can injure anyone." Khaos said emphasizing on the word 'anyone'.

"The weapons are chosen according to your preferences. Aiden…"

Aiden looked up. "Yes, milady?"

"The rings on both of your index finger are you weapon. You are best at dodging, quick attacks and a special form of long range attack. Try rubbing the ring with your thumbs or clink them together."

Aiden nodded. Raising up both of his hands, his rub his thumbs on both ring. The ring changed to a straight dual dagger. Dark and 1 feet long. Aiden was awed. "Gemini!". Khaos snapped here finger and a target board appeared behind. Aiden turned and smiled. He throw one of the dagger and it landed on the board. "Bull eyes!" After a moment, the dagger returned to his hand.

"Wicked!" He then clinked the daggers together and changes into a twin pistol. "Oh my!"

Khaos snapped her finger again. This time, two palm sized balls were floating. As Aiden brought up his pistols, the ball move around the assembly and went towards Aiden with full speed. He turned to look at Khaos. He smiled and started running. As he reached one of the pillars in the room, he ran up the pillar and did a back-flip as one of the ball passed under him. He took a shot. The ball break into pieces as Aiden landed with a style. One more to go he thought. Khaos snapped her finger and 19 more balls appear. However this time, the ball became so dark they actually blended into the background.

"This not gonna be easy." Aiden whispered to himself as he clink the pistols and change it to the dual dagger.

He readied himself with his dagger in front of his face as he bent a little lower, walking slightly and slowly. Out of nowhere, two ball flank him from both side. Quickly, he slash at them without looking. Everyone was going 'Ooo!' He continued walking as six balls came from all direction. He focused on the two at his left and right and slashed them as he turned, kneel down and bend backward as he slash his dagger upward, breaking two more balls. The other two went pass. Before it could disappear again, Aiden change his weapon to the twin pistols and fired both at the balls as it break into pieces. Everyone was quiet. Twelve more and Aiden just stood there with his weapon down.

"What is he doing?" Bianca asked no one in particular.

"Just watch…" Ulixes smile.

"This got to end…" Aiden said. Both his weapon was returned back to his ring. He brought one hand up and snapped his finger. From that sound, a bright light emits from his hand and envelop the whole room for a few seconds. In that moment, Aiden saw all the hidden ball and the room went back to its normal state. Aiden rubbed his ring and it changes into the twin pistols. Aiden sighed as he fired randomly all over the room. Randomly? No. The sound of a glass breaking was heard after every shot he took. One by one all the way counting up to twelve.

"Was that enough, milady?" Aiden looked at Khaos.

"More than enough…" Khaos was pleased. "Aiden… a gift from the sun. You are now called… Kyros! The light bringer!"

Kyros walked to the others.

"Nice going… seems like you jotted all the whereabouts of the hidden balls in that few seconds." Ulixes remarked.

"Ah well, you know… eidetic memory and all…" Kyros said as he laughed.

"Bianca… Zoe." Khaos called out to them. "Both of you will be a great combination of stealth and speed. As you can see, Zoe, the bow give you a light but quick and multiple attack. A small dagger if you ever get caught in a close combat." Zoe look at her dagger on her belt and bow?

"Ask and you shall receive." Khaos instructed.

"Erm.. bow?" Zoe said unknowingly with both her hand brought up and a bow appearing with a dust of dark blue smoke on her hands. "Beautiful…"

"Bianca… The rod that is on you forearm. Take it out."

Bianca did as what Khaos instructed. The rod change its form to a black sickle.

"The sickle requires you to fight in a close range. Also, due to your nature, that sickle is made of Stygian iron. Lastly, a short sword might help you in time of need." Khaos explained and she snapped her finger.

Hearing the snapping of Khaos finger, Zoe and Bianca brought up their close combat weapon. Ready for the unknown. Both of them was in the middle of the assembly.

"What should I do…" Bianca thought to herself.

"Just be ready…" Zoe replied

"Wait what? You can hear me?" Bianca was surprised.

"Well, of course!" Zoe thought to herself.

"I heard that!" Bianca said.

Zoe was confused. She then tried something.

"You can hear me now, right?" Zoe asked without opening her mouth.

"We can hear each other thought!" Bianca screamed inside her head

"Gosh! Don't yell, Bianca!" Zoe hold her head in pain.

"Yeah… don't yell…" Kyros was looking at them. Even Perseus and Ulixes was smiling at them.

Out of the darkness, a winged beast appear. So huge.

"Drakon…" All five of them thought.

The drakon roared. Zoe made the first move. She ran toward the drakon. As she approached nearer, the drakon slammed it front leg but Zoe dodge it gracefully and stabbed the underside of the drakon. The drakon roared and breathe out fire. It was too close and dodging will not helped her. Zoe stared into the flames and close her eyes. Few seconds later, she felt the heat was gone and opened her eyes.

"What happened" Zoe thought.

"Nothing a little shadow travel can handle." Bianca was smirking.

Zoe thanks Bianca. Both of them stood watching the drakon. "I have a plan…" Zoe said.

Bianca nodded in agreement and so does the other three. "Moves!" Bianca move swiftly towards the drakon. The drakon raised it leg and stomp on Bianca but Bianca disappeared. Few seconds later, she reappeared on the drakon snout and stabbed one of its eyes with her short sword. The drakon used its tail to hit Bianca but she disappeared again. As the drakon removed its tail, an arrow flew and hit its other eye. Zoe arrow landed accurately. The drakon rushed towards Zoe on instinct. Bianca shadow traveled in front of the drakon and raised her hand.

"Heed my command! Rise, my minions!" A bunch of skeletal warrior jumped up from underneath and stab their weapon at the drakon in all vital position.

Zoe watched as the drakon halted suddenly and pulled the string of her bow. An arrow appear and she released it. Doing so repetitively and quickly in succession, as five arrows flew towards the drakon. The first landed on the neck which send the drakon backward. The other four landed on each of its legs. The drakon was trapped as it roared and wriggled around. Bianca shadow traveled in front of the drakon. Bianca took out the rod and the sickle was formed. In one swift and deadly movement, the sickle sucked out the living essence of the drakon as it roared menacingly. Khaos snapped her finger.

"That is fine. You can do more in the future but I've seen enough."

Both Zoe and Bianca went nearer to Khaos.

"Zoe… the strategist and a predator. You are now called… Luna! The wise huntress of the moon." Everyone around was clapping.

"Bianca… commander of the undead. You are now called… Elysia! The sorceress of the night!" Everyone smiled and clapped.

Khaos turned her attention to the final knight. Perseus. Perseus bowed.

"You fought well long time ago. The black bracelet on both of you wrist and be changed to a sword and a shield and you can change their side."

Perseus shook both of his wrist and a sword appear on his left and a shield on his right. With his thoughts and a shake of his wrist again, the sword now appear on the right and the shield on the left. Without any warning. Khaos snapped her finger. A Kraken appear at the far end.

"No pegasus and Medusa head. Can you prove you worth once again, Perseus?" Khaos was amused.

Perseus held his grip tighter and rushed towards the Kraken...
