Disclaimer: Unfortunately. Need I say more?
Michaela's PoV (Yeah, I'm making you wait to hear what Chaos told Percy. Deal with it.)
I woke up that morning from the most peaceful sleep in ages. It was definitely better than my time back in Russia, being used as a maid by my stepfather Cato Ugliano. I got up and walked into the kitchen. That's right, the girls all get kitchens while the boys get weapons cabinets. Lucky me! I made breakfast. I was eating my bacon when I heard someone yell 'Seth'. I had to have the room next to the twins. I finished and left to go to the pool. When I got there, I saw Clayton sleeping at the bottom. I was tempted to jump in and wake him up, but I figured Seth had some sort of trap in the pool and I was getting tired of pranks. After checking my surroundings for any signs of Seth, I started jogging to the Small Weapons Squad's wing of the building I hadn't been there before, so I just wandered around. I saw a white board on the wall with the schedule of the squad on it. I looked over it.
Monday: New Recruits
Tuesday: Long-Range Weapons
Wednesday: Short-Range Weapons
Thursday: Duel
Friday: Tournament
Weekend: ?
"Are you a new recruit?" I heard someone ask. I turned and saw a boy in an odd uniform.
"Yeah, who are you?" I asked.
"I am the lieutenant of the Small Weapons Squadron, may I ask who you are?" He said. This guy seemed a bit stuck up.
"I'm Michaela. I was wondering what happens on the weekend," I said.
"That depends on who wins the tournament. If we win, we have a party and if we lose, you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't bring any more disgrace to us," he explained.
"Look at me. Nothing I do could bring disgrace to us," I said.
"Let's see that attitude when you get beat up in a tournament," he said. I frowned.
"What's that supposed to mean? Is that a challenge?" I asked.
"If it was, could you meet it?"
"You're on!" I yelled. "I'll win that tournament, and be the life of the party!"
"We'll see," he walked off. It was decided. I was going to win that tournament no matter what.
Percy's PoV
I woke up to a beeping noise.
"What the Hades?" I asked myself. I noticed I was wearing Tyson's watch, which seemed to be making the beeping. I tapped it and a hologram of Chaos popped up.
"Perseus, I need to see you in my office," it said. It disappeared and I got up. I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal, and went on my way. I was halfway there when I saw the twins fighting. I stepped in between them.
"What the Hades is going on here?" I asked.
"This idiot put cereal in my shoes."
"Well this idiot attacked me!"
"Both of you idiots better shut, I'm going to be late! Don't make me get into this!" I yelled. They stomped off. They just couldn't stop fighting. I wish they were more like Travis and Connor. After I was done with them, I walked off. I got to Chaos' office and knocked.
"Come in Perseus," I opened the door and walked inside. There was a large bookcase behind the desk where Chaos sat. In the middle of the room, there was a large machine that looked like some sort of map from Star Wars. I sat down in the chair in front of Chaos.
"You called, sir?" I said. It was odd that I didn't know how to address the Creator of the Universe.
"Yes Perseus. You and your siblings are going back to Earth. I believe I have found a link to the person that messed up your life. Your mission is to find Hyperion and interrogate him. If you can make him speak, you might just get revenge." Chaos explained. This was great! I could see Annabeth again! But would she be mad? Would she hate me for not saying goodbye? Oh great, I'm nervous now, I thought.
"Ok, when are we going?" I asked.
"You will leave after you are trained. You need to be prepared both physically and mentally for what you will see," Chaos said. That didn't help my nervousness. "Your training will begin tomorrow, when new recruits are introduced to their squads."
"But if I was asleep for two weeks, why wasn't everyone else already introduced?" I asked.
"Because they insisted on waiting for you," Chaos answered.
"Ok, I get it now," I said.
"And Perseus, you know why I didn't give you a fight?"
"Because you wanted everybody to be mad at me?" I guessed.
"No, it was to test the others. I let you off easily to see how they would deal with it." Chaos explained.
"What do you mean, I was expecting to fight Ladon or something," I said.
"I have had siblings in my army that were close enough to be attached. One day, one of the siblings got mad because I gave the other a medal for defusing a nuke that was dropped in the mens bathroom on the east wing, so he attacked his own brother. They dueled until the boy who was attacked won. He got a promotion and the other sibling got extremely mad. I'm trying to get you used to being treated differently so that you can handle it later on." He said.
Ok, I guess that makes sense, but can I still have a fight? I was getting anxious to swing Riptide once again," I asked.
"Sure, but be prepared, my champion has never been defeated," Chaos warned.
"I can handle it, I'm Percy Jackson," I said smiling. Chaos smirked.
"Ok be ready tomorrow. You may leave now," Chaos said. I left the office and felt tired. I guess being in a room with an extremely powerful being can tire you out. I went back to my room to take a nap.
Dream World – Dream World – Dream World
I was walking through camp, and it looked horrible. The Poseidon cabin was in flames, and demigods were battling everywhere. It was World War III. I could guess it was caused by Poseidon being exiled. I saw Annabeth fighting against Thalia, and Nico fighting Jason. I have to get down there fast, I thought. The dream went to Olympus, where the gods were fighting. It looked like Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite, Apollo, Hades, and Hestia wanted Zeus to bring Poseidon back. Athena claimed it was a smart choice, even though 'Barnacle Breath' was really annoying. On the other hand, Zeus, Hera, Ares (no surprise there), Artemis, and… was that Triton? That traitor! He dare betray our father? I will make him pay, I thought. I saw Hestia look straight at me and mouth 'GO!', and everything went black. I heard Poseidon say
"Come to me, son. After you handle the war, you must find a way to free me,"
"What? Free you from where?" I thought.
"Percy, I have to go. Just remember the kleidi." Dad said.
"What? That doesn't make sense!" I yelled.
"Bye Percy," Poseidon's voice faded. What the Hades? He could have explained something, I thought. Kleidi... what the Hades does that mean?
Real World - Real World - Real World
I woke up that morning thinking about what dad had said. I peshed the thought away and got up. I went to the cafeteria and got some blue pancakes, and walked off to find the others. I needed to tell them what Chaos said.
Ok, so I'm done with this chapter. Next chapter is Percy's fight, so you better I want more reviews! No flames! - AssassinOfNeptune
