Thanks to all those who reviewed my story. Fourth and probably the last updated chapter for tonight. Since my Christmas Holidays are ending quick, I might not be able to update regularly anymore so without further ado! (I don't own PJO and HoO cast. Rick Riordan does) Cheers :) May have OCs and this will be a long one...again. Gah... wish my brothers would stop bugging me.

As I walked towards the ship, saw Travis and Connor walking in a slow pace arguing about something. When they saw me, they grinned. They quickly walked to me.

"Sir, I think you might like this…" Travis trailed off.

"What is it, Travis."

"Sir, I managed to find out that Annabeth was cheated on by-"

"-Jed himself. That was around ,say maybe around 4999 years ago. Looks like they only lasted for a few months." Finished Connor.

" Hmmm. Anything else you want to add?"

"Yes, sir. We've been keeping tabs and Jed and his gang. Yesterday, their beacons kept blinking for a few minutes. The beacon detects unknown magic spikes in the air around the target-"

"And sends the signal and the location to us. They've been doing for this for quite a while now. I've asked some of the campers here if there was anything unusual about Jed and his group. They always say yes." Finished Travis. I thought about what to do next.

"Okay, keep me posted on their usual meeting place. I also need a map on the area."

"Yes, sir!" they said in unison.

I quickly ran to find Mark and Tanisha about how to trip Jed to the others. I found them reading books in the library in our ship. I cleared my throat, hoping they would notice me. And they did. They saluted quickly and sat back down in their chairs. I walked over.

"Guys, I need your help to tip of Jed and his group to the campers."

"So, it really is him?"

"Yeah, it is."

"Got it, sir. Do you have the map of the area?"

"No, though Travis said he would give the map to me once he got it. Oh, and speak of the devil." Travis came rushing in and handed me the map. I gave the map to Tanisha, who then studied the map.

"You'll have the plan ready by tomorrow, sir."

"Good. The faster we expose the spies, the faster we can finish this war."

"Yes, sir." And they ran out.

Today, uneventful would be an understatement. Nothing extraordinary happened during the whole day which made me pretty restless. The next day I woke up earlier than most. I have no idea why but I was brimming with anticipation. I looked all around me and on my desk, sat a black envelope. It read:

Sir

The enemy is moving out today. I sent this as fast as I could. There are about 200 monsters with only a few Demi-Gods. But there is also a Demi-Titan here too. He's posing as a Sentinel. He's leading the army to the battle. I expect the attack to commence at around 1 this afternoon.

Drake

Drake. My spy at the enemy encampment. None of the Spartans knew of the spy. I only told Nico and Thalia. He was also a Spartan with special training. He's been spying for us since the first battle. A son of Hermes, he was chosen because he was always the most secretive among the Spartans. He also was the first one to recover from his side-effects. We listed him as KIA with the others in hope of not raising too much suspicion. He has been training as an assassin but he won't be able to take on a Titan.

I was just putting on my clothes when there was a knocking noise outside my door.

"Come in!"

Tanisha walked to my desk and put down a piece of paper.

"Sir, this is the mission plan. According to the calculations, he should be contacting Kronos today at 2400 hours."

"Good. You may leave. Oh and Tanisha, get the troops to the briefing room."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as I put on my uniform, I walked quickly to the room. As I walked in, a hush silence filled the room. The troops stood up and saluted. I saluted back and they sat back down.

"I have received information that there will be an attack today. I received this information by means of our spy. I'll tell you the finer details later. Everyone suite up. Corporal Roy, as soon as you suite up, I need you to run off to Chiron. Warn him about the attack. Spartans I need you to stay here or a while."

There were sounds of troops moving to the armory and the Spartans settling down again.

"Our spy is a Spartan." As I thought they would erupt in shouting, they just stood there faces looking bored as the Underworld.

"Sir, we knew about this." Jonathan spoke up this time.

"Well since this doesn't come as a surprise to you all, move it! We've got a war to win!" I was met with shouts of approval. They quickly moved to their rooms. I also went to my office where my armor stood magnificently on the side. I quickly strapped it on and took my pistol and pen. As I walked out, the Spartans were standing in attention, armor gleaming. I strode past them and sprinted off to the pine tree, with the Spartans trailing behind me. As we neared the pine tree, a crowd in full armor were gathered there. I stood next to Chiron while I scanned the terrain. Hundreds of monsters were standing in front of us. I scanned the enemy in hopes of looking for Drake. There was only one Demi-God that stood out from the others. He was thin, and carrying dual swords. He was tall with blonde hair with light weight armor. Unlike the others who were buff and had heavy armor on. He looked at me and nodded. He raised his sword and the monsters behind him howled in blood lust. And they charged. Me and the rest of the Spartans moved fast. Chrysilla and Michael shooting at the enemies. I have to say Chrysilla was tough for a kid of Aphrodite. She usually was good with precise weaponry. She could kill a hellhound with a head shot at a hundred yards but Michael can do better. He was like a lone wolf. He would sit and wait for the shot that could turn the tide of battle. The marines came charging next and clashed with the monsters. One of them even shouted : "FOR CHAOS!" I laughed at the marine. It was a split second later before the campers knew what was going on. They immediately charged weapons held high. As they fought the monsters, they had no difficulty destroying the monsters. They were like a well-organized army. The campers and marines then retreated, slowly. I looked out to see what has scared them to the point of retreat. A man standing with gold armor looked out towards the great host of Demi-Gods. His stare lasted on me longer than most.

"I am Iapetus, bow before me!" No one bowed, only the monsters and Blake. The Spartans looked at him with anger. They had been taught not to bow to anyone except Chaos.

Since we didn't bow to him this must have made him pissed.

"You" he asked pointing at me, Thalia and Nico. " feel ancient. Who are you people?"

I just glared at him and raised my weapon. Then, Nico and Thalia also raised their weapons. "We are the Spartans of CHAOS!" I shouted. He flinched a bit before going back to his angry attitude.

"Hmmm. Chaos is weak! He has been hiding in the void…." He trailed off because on the top of my head was the sign of Chaos. The sign was like eight arrows pointing to eight different directions with a circle in the middle like a compass.

"Impossible! He was gone before, why come back now?" he practically screamed. Then suddenly his jaw dropped. All around me, my fellow Spartans also had the same sign on the top of their head. Iapetus glared at us and flicked his finger, beginning to retreating. Now that we have been publicly claimed as adopted kids of Chaos, camp was going to get more trouble. I went up to Chiron and asked for a war council.

"Of course. I'll tell the councilors right away." he replied and galloped away. As the councilors walked to us, they hesitated at each step before standing in front of us. As we led them to our ship along with Chiron, I could feel the stare of certain daughter of Athena bore into my back. We led them to the briefing room- again. I looked at time for a moment. I still had 300 more hours before the plan. They began taking their seats and as the last one take his seat I began.

"I have asked you all here today because now that the enemy is weak we will attack. And we have new from Blake that the enemy is also moving against Lord Hades in the Underworld. We won't be worrying about that for now because a small group of elite Spartans will be helping Lord Hades out. What we should be worrying now is our offensive against Gaia. That is where you guys come in. I need you guys to enemy camps around America. Jason! I need you to lead the campers. Annabeth will be your strategist while Thalia will be coming with you. As for the elite team, they shall be Mike, Nico, Joshua, Nishant and John. Squad Marine Alpha and Beta will be coming with us. The rest of the Spartans and marines will be going with Thalia and Jason. Clear! Okay, we leave at 0900 hours tomorrow! Anybody has questions?" I said. Hands shot up in the air. I sighed.

"Okay questions that does not concern about what has happened to us after we left." I said. Hands slowly sank. Only Jason's was in the hand.

"Yes?"

"Um, sir? Can I call you Percy? And can we have the locations of the enemy camps?" he asked.

"Yes you may. And as for the locations, I'm sure the Stoll's can help. Ask them. Any other questions?" No one asked.

"Dismissed!" They started leaving the briefing room. Nishant and Kate left holding hands. And so did Thalia and Nico. I suddenly felt lonely even though there were a few more people in the room. I checked the time again. One more hour. I got myself ready. I wore normal clothes for a change. Grey and white camo shorts with a green blue shirt and a purple hoddie. When I left my quarter, I went to the beach. As I was walking towards the beach, when I heard sobs coming from in front of me. Since I was curious, I followed the sobs. I found a blonde girl crying, sitting near the water.

"Why did I even leave him?" she whispered to herself. Strangely, I recognized the voice as soon as I heard it. Annabeth's voice. I had a weird feeling that I should be out there, next to her. I also felt some kind of pain in my heart every time I hear her cry. Since I had fifty minutes left I decided to talk to her.

"Hey." She stopped for a few seconds and turned her head at me.

"Oh. Hey, Per-I mean commander." She said.

"Drop the formalities, Wise Girl." She just stared at me with shock.

"Did you just use "Wise Girl" on me?" she questioned.

"Uh huh. Can't I." I asked. She stared at me quizzically.

"No, it's just that I've haven't heard someone say that to me for a long time…"she trailed off. We settled into comfortable silence.

"I-" we both began.

"You first." I said.

"Percy" she began ", I just wanted to apologize for …. cheating on you. I wasn't thinking straight that time. I was lonely and he just suddenly appeared. I felt something fluttering inside me. As he approached me, I forgot about you. I thought he was better than you. Turns out, he was just cheater like me. I think you already heard from Connor and Travis that two months after you left, Jed cheated on me for some Aphrodite girl and now I think I felt your pain. I've been lonely these past few years. I'm sorry and… I still love you, Percy." She finished. To say that I was stunned was an understatement. I really was stunned, no more than stunned. I was shocked.

"Annabeth, I still love you. I was going to say the same things you were going to say too, so since you already said them, I won't have to repeat it." I said.

"You are one simple man." she said. I looked her straight in the eye, getting mesmerized in her grey, stormy eyes. They still looked pretty beautiful, but there was evident sadness. I didn't notice that our faces were inching closer. I only felt her lips on mine. That was all that mattered to me. When we broke up our kiss, she was staring at me with happiness. Then I checked my watch. I still had 15 minutes so I told her the plan. I told her to get everyone to the dining pavilion. As I went to the clearing, I took notice of the area. It was pretty well hidden. You won't be able to see it from the top or from the sea so the only choice is to get there by foot. One other problem, the entrance is pretty narrow. Easily defensible. I had wondered how the Stolls got a map of the area. I'm going to have to ask them later. I hid in behind a group of bushes. After around ten minutes, people came into the clearing, wearing hoods. They chanted magic words which I didn't understand. The air in front of them shimmered until a fine wall of mist settled. A skull appeared in front. He had red flames instead of eyes. His skull was golden and he wore a hood. He spoke in a voice that I knew too well.

"Hello puny Demi-Gods", he began, "I must say it is time for the next part of the plan. I need you to sabotage the armory here and also the Hephaestus forges. They must be destroyed quickly. Now- Wait! I sense another presence here. When I heard this I quickly Iris-Message camp. "O Goddess, Iris, Please accept my offering. Show me Camp Half Blood, dining pavilion." I turned back to the enemy. "Perseus Jackson, show yourself!" I dusted myself and stood up. The Demi-Gods quickly took out their weapons while I took out Riptide.

"Hello, Kronos."

He scowled because of my use of his name. "It's Lord Kronos, Demi-God!"

"Just because you are a Titan and I'm a Demi-God doesn't mean I have to bow to you or to anyone for that matter. I only bow to Lord Chaos." I said calmly.

"So you're the traitors, eh? Show yourselves." I commanded. The Demi-Gods all looked at Kronos. He just sighed lazily and nodded. They took off their hoods and presented themselves. I recognized nearly all of them. Jed and his friends were all traitors.

"Why are you doing this?" I questioned.

"Because, Lord Kronos promised us glory and riches for serving him." Jed spat.

"No, he doesn't. He will betray you someday, soon enough." I said.

"You don't know a thing about him!" screamed May.

"Yes I do. I know all about you." I said. An arrow came whizzing behind me. Fortunately, I was quick enough to see it. I side-stepped and caught it in mid-air.

"Ah, my Achilles heel. Well, it would've worked if I wasn't so fast. And pray-tell how did you know where my weak spot is?" I asked.

"Annabeth." Was all Andrew said.

" Yeah. She is pretty easy to manipulate. If you can use the mist correctly, that is. Even the Gods and Chiron, themselves fell for it." laughed Jed. Now I was angry. They manipulated the mist to change the feelings around them.

"I need to go. Handle the pest for me will you, Jed." And he swiped the mist. As he was approaching me, I stepped side-ways, showing the IM I sent to the pavilion. Hopefully, Annabeth and the rest of campers are there. His eyes were glued to the screen, jaws hanging. Even the other Demi-Gods looked startled. I walked menacingly towards them while they stared at me with fear. Jed composed himself earlier than the others and ushered the others to the exit. They ran faster than a rabbit. Behind me, I heard cheers and shouts. I swiped the IM and casually walked out of the clear. I walked towards the pavilion. As I entered, I was engulfed in a hug. Cheers erupted around me but the only one I really notice was a blonde girl with grey eyes. She looked more beautiful when she looked happier. I just took her in my arms and kissed her in front of the crowd. We earned some whistles but I didn't care. "I love you." I whispered into her ear.
