Story of the Week: Percy, Guardian of the Hunt, Assassin of Chaos by Starblade 176

It's a great story with LOTS of drama, so read it if you can!

I know this isn't relevant to the story, but I must say I'm ashamed. I didn't get ANY reviews from the last chapter, I'm getting writer's block, and my cousin hasn't read PJO, HoO, or the Kane Chronicles! She hasn't even read the Hunger Games! I feel hurt :(

Ok guys, here is the fight you've all been waiting for. Percy vs. Unknown Guy That is Apparently Chaos' Champion. I love that title. So here it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the following characters or items except the ones that I do own which are quite obvious.

Percy's PoV

My ADHD was on full blast as I stood in the arena waiting for my opponent. I saw Chaos appear in the center of the arena with a tall guy, with midnight black hair that was slicked back so that he looked like some jerk from the 80's. He was wearing grey armor with a black hole engraved on the front. He held a sword that said… I couldn't really tell, but I think it started with 'K'. The guy walked towards the opposite end of the arena and got into stance. I did the same, and Chaos made a microphone appear.

"Perseus, your new opponent is a fierce man, and he has never been defeated and is my guardian. I hope you are prepared. If you win this battle, you can pride yourself in being the strongest being in the universe, next to me of course. But don't think that will happen any time soon. Meet Alpha." Chaos went on. "This fight will start in 3" I got ready. "2" I took a deep breath. "1" I got into a defensive position, Alpha did the same. I couldn't see any flaws in his defense, so I would have to get him into offense. I had to find out his weakness. I swung my sword at him to test his reaction. He blocked it, and countered by throwing my sword out of the way, and stabbing at me. I jumped back and went into auto pilot. The fight went back and forth, jump, block, stab, roll, cringe, thrust, block, jump. I felt like it wouldn't end. I thrust forward and he hit my sword to the right. I tried to regain my stance but he kicked my legs out from under me and pointed his sword at my neck. I could see the engraving on it. 'Kleidi'. I gasped.

"You done?" Alpha asked.

"Never," I willed some water vapor to push his sword away and rolled towards Riptide I got up and got into stance. He swung at me and I did the disarming maneuver. He wasn't expecting it so it worked. Alpha was now unarmed. Or so I thought. He pulled out a dagger and thrust it at me. I rolled to the side and slashed at his legs. He jumped onto the blade of Riptide and stomped on my hands. I let go and he took my sword. I guess he really turned the tables on me. I willed the sweat on him to start freezing. He started shivering and I took my chance. I kicked him in the stomach and took Riptide. He seemed to recover from the cold so he threw his dagger at me. It stuck into my leg and I tripped. It felt like somebody stuffed my leg with hot coals. He walked over and took the dagger out. I rolled over and kicked straight up with all my power. He was knocked back a few feet so I got up and charged. Alpha swung his dagger and I jumped back. He used this opportunity to run and grab his sword. I thrust Riptide at him and he blocked it. The look he gave me made me hesitate, so he swiped at my feet and pointed his sword at my neck. I was too weak to use my powers so I did what I had to.

"I give up," I said. He smiled and removed his sword.

"Don't feel bad, nobody's ever given me this much of a challenge. I actually had fun," he said.

"Me too, maybe we can duel again some day," I said.

"Maybe we can,"

"So Chaos how was that?" I asked. He smiled.

"I think you'll be a great leader by next week," he replied. It was at this moment that I realized something. Everybody seemed to love it here. If we went back to Earth, could we ever stay? Maybe I could bring Annabeth with me. But I couldn't just ask everybody to give up what they have here and live a life some of them don't even know! I mean, Griffon looked happy last time I saw him, Seth and Clayton had started talking some this morning, and even I finally felt at home here. I left the arena and walked to Seth's room. I knocked and walked in. He was watching Fred videos on YouTube.

"Where did you get a laptop?" I asked. His eyes went wide and he gulped.

"I, umm... borrowed it from some guy in a uniform," he said nervously.

"Well, I'm not going to question that because I actually like not being arrested, but I came to tell you that we're going back to Earth," I said.

"Oh ok, I'll just st... what?" he looked confused.

"Chaos said we have to go back to Earth to interrogate a Titan," I said.

"Well that's not too much to ask of five kids that aren't fully trained," he said sarcastically.

"Just wanted to let you know. we're leaving in a week." I left and sighed. This is what I was afraid of. I walked to Michaela's room which was just down the hall. I knocked.

"Come in!" I walked in and looked around. Michaela was in the kitchen ma- wait, a kitchen?

"How come you get a kitchen?" I asked.

"Chaos gives the girls kitchens and the boys weapon cabinets and crap like that," she replied

"Well that's not fair," I said whining a little.

"Do you know how to cook?" she asked.

"No, bu-"

"Then it's fair," she said matter-of-factly.

I still don't like it," I muttered. "While i'm here, Chaos told me that we're going back to earth to interrogate a Titan in a week," I said a little nervously.

"Ok, I'll get the taser and duct tape," she said.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"I'm not going to travel with the twins unprepared," she replied. I smirked.

"Could I borrow some of that?" I asked.

"Knock yourself out." I got the stuff and walked to Clayton's room. I was hoping he hadn't rigged the doors because of his brother's prank. I figured he did because when I walked up, I heard somebody say "Stop!". Clayton opened the door with a suspicious ball in his hand.

"Oh, it's you," he said.

"Yep, expecting your brother?"

"Yeah" I walked in and looked around. His room looked like mine, but he had a HUGE tv.

"Where'd you get tha- never mind I don't want to know. The point is, we're leaving in a week to interrogate a Titan, pack your bags, don't let our sister duct tape you, umm... I think that's it," I said, getting a bit bored of this speech.

"What? can we bring friends?" He asked worriedly.

"Umm, I don't know, did you actually trick someone into liking you?" He scowled and turned around.

"I think she's into me, as a matter of fact," he said.

"How long were you together, thirty seconds?"

"Did you come in here to tell me to pack my bags, or give me grief?" he asked angrily.

"Sorry, I just didn't think it would happen," I said.

"It's fine, want to watch tv?" he said, pointing to his mega-vision.

"No, I have to tell Griffon about our 'road trip'." I said.

"Your loss," Clayton muttered. I walked out and headed towards Griffon's room. He was outside, sitting on the step.

"Sup Griffin?" I asked.

"I don't know. I've been thinking about my spear training. I'm getting pretty good," he said.

"Well that's great! Maybe you'll be put into a squad soon," I said encouragingly.

"I hope so. Was there something you wanted to say?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're going back to Earth to interrogate a Titan," I explained.

"Right when I was getting good at something? Crap."

"Don't worry, you and your lady friend still have a week of training before we leave," I said, smirking.

"Lady friend? Yeah, sure," he said blushing madly.

"Don't question it, when I met Annabeth I thought, this girl is crazy, and now she's my girlfriend, and hopefully always will be," I said.

"Yeah, but you have skills!" he yelled.

"Just keep training, nobody can resist a child of Poseidon," I said. He smiled and went inside. I went back to my room and lay down. I was tired, so as soon as my face hit the pillow, I was out like a light. I had a peaceful, dreamless sleep foe once.

Annabeth's PoV

I can't believe how badly things went since I visited Poseidon. We were in the middle of WWIII because of Zeus, and I was able to convince mom to support Poseidon. It took a lot, but we were still losing the war. Zeus was determined to win, and was currently trying to convince Hephaestus to join him. I couldn't believe Thalia betrayed Percy like that. I just got done fighting her. I was mad, but I just knocked her out, and hid in my cabin, hoping Athena would protect me. I wish Percy were here, he could end this war. I on- CRAP! It's Thalia. I bolted the door and noticed a new kid sleeping in my bunk. I would have woken him and told him to find his own bed, but he deserved to sleep. I was tired too, so I took a little nap myself. When I awoke, the sound of fighting had stopped. I went outside and saw Chiron.

"Chiron, what happened?" I asked.

"We won, Zeus' forces were repelled from camp, we should have enough time to regroup," he said. I nodded and towards the Poseidon cabin. It was burnt and smoky, but the fountain was still intact. I walked over to it and prayed to anybody that would listen to bring Percy back. I got up and went to the arena. Mrs. O'Leary was in there, and I was taking care of her until Percy got back.

"Hey, girl! How are you doing?" I asked. She whimpered.

"It's ok girl, Percy has to come back, he'll be here before you know it," I assured her. She went to the otherside of the arena and took a nap. I decided I probably needed one too, so I went back to my cabin. Then I heard a trumpet blare. I turned and my eyes gt wide. No, it couldn't be...
