Sheen absentmindedly leaned against a boulder twirling his spear waiting for the game to start. He silently watched Sid and Garrett spar with each other. Sid being bigger and much stronger was pounding Garrett with powerful swings of his large blade. Garrett's whole body was vibrating from the strikes to his shield.
"Enough you two, your going to hurt yourselves," scolded a girl who was perched on a log nearby.
"Ah come on Summer I'm going easy on him," Sid replied with a goofy smile.
"I agree with Summer, lets stop," Garrett said while sitting down on the same log as Summer. "And besides shouldn't we come up with a plan or something?"
"Whats the point, they have Sam and Tes," Sheen said.
"Not to mention Brian," Summer added.
"Any plan those three come up with, will kick any of my strategies asses," Sheen said, "So lets just free ball it." As if on Que the horn sounded, signaling the start of another game of Capture the Flag at Camp Half-Blood.
"I will stay back with Jim and protect the flag," Garrett announced as he grabbed a passing teammate.
"I'll bee line for the flag," Sheen said, then he took off through the forest. Summer just followed Sid as he stalked away. Sheen ducked and weaved his way through the woods. It was only a matter of minutes until he met a formation of ten enemies.
"We must not let him pass!" the helmsman of the group yelled. Sheen just smiled and continued to run. As the foes met Sheen jumped off the shield of the lead solider and grabbed the branch above his head and swung over the whole formation. He continued to rush through the underbrush until he came to a clearing, where he spotted the red flag under a rock overhang. Sheen stopped along the rim of the clearing. As he peered through a bush he reached behind his back and grabbed the two foot steel pole attached to his back. He pushed a button and the pole extended in to four foot spear shaft with one foot blades on each end.
Sheen waited a couple seconds then he sprinted through the bushes and began closing distance between him and the flag. Just as he was about five yards away from the flag, he felt the air pressure change and Sheen ducked as a invisible blade zinged over his head.
"I was wondering where you were hiding Tes," Sheen said as he spun to face the unseen attacker. The face of a young girl flickered into view then disappeared. Another strike came out of thin air, which Sheen easily blocked with his spear shaft. "Ha, you've lost the element of surprise you might as well give up," Sheen advised. As he spoke an onslaught of attacks came. He effortlessly repelled them all. "You know, just because I can't see you doesn't mean you can hit me."
"Who says I'm going to hit you?" The invisible girl asked.
"Oh gods, he's behi-," Sheen was interrupted by a wild scream. He turned around just in time to see a mop of blonde hair lunge off the rock outcrop over looking the flag. Sheen barely had enough time to hold up his spear to deflect the downward strike from the boys sword. "Damn that sword," Sheen spat. The boys sword had a hook shaped guard, which Sheen was desperately trying to free his spear from. As he struggled for control, a blade touched his throat.
"Ha, you loss," Tes stated.
"A confident one, aren't you," Sheen said. He then touched one of his hands to the midriff of the invisible girl. Sheen heard the girl gasp, then a burst of air shot from his hand and sent Tes sprawling. He then put his foot on the chest of the wild boy and rolled backwards which flung the boy a yard onto his back. Sheen then unhooked the boys blade from his spear and tossed it aside. Then he walked to the flag and yanked it from the earth. Tes, who was now visible, stood up and brushed her auburn hair from her bright green eyes. "Oh, give up Tes you've lost."
"You think so?" Tes asked and then she held up her fist. A thin rope appeared in her closed palm. Sheen followed the rope with his eyes. It was attached to twenty of the red team which had formed a circle around Sheen. He didn't see them before because Tes was holding the rope which allowed her to turn them all invisible.
"Ok, that"s not cool," Sheen complained.
"It's not my fault that you suck at this game," Tes replied.
"Drop the flag and you won't get your ass beatin'," Brian said while he hopped up off the grass. Sheen was about to drop the flag, when Sid came stampeding in to the clearing. He bashed the two of the red team out of the way with his shield and ran towards Sheen. Who in turn leaped over Sid, spun in midair and caught hold of the large boy's shoulder.
"CHARGE!!!" Sheen shouted as Sid continued rampaging through the helpless red team. Then as they ran out into the forest Sheen flipped up his middle finger, mocking everyone in the clearing.
