Chapter 4

Jackson's POV

After Zeus gave the wonderful news, I couldn't help but smile. I get to punish these brats when they don't show manners. I could now even punish the immortal campers without their annoying parents coming to their rescue. Maybe now stuff will actually get done.

After the meeting, we all decide to get food. We all walk to the pavilion while getting stares. You know what, let them stare for now, just wait till I get a hold of them. When we get to tables the Vanguards and I leave the immortal campers and sit at the Chaos table they put in. We all sit down and Nico, Thalia, and Percy start talking about something, but I'm not paying attention. Right now my mind is wondering how Chaos's meeting with the Zanopians went. I should probably find out later though.

After we put food in the fire, which I think is ridiculous, I eat my food. The other three are still in deep conversation when all of a sudden, I hear a loud explosion and I see dirt flying all over the place. I turn around and see a spaceship crashed. I'm the first to get up and walk to the ship. When I start to get closer to the ship, which crashed at Half-Blood Hill, I look behind me and see no one followed me, not even the Vanguards. Whatever, I turn back around and continue walking to the ship.

Once I finally get to the ship, I see why it crashed. It was shot down, by the looks of it, a Candor. A Candor is a high-tech gun that shoots plasma balls. The Candor is only produced by the Zanopians. They have refused to sell any Candors for a while now. I'm starting to think the Zanopians are mad at me and Chaos's meeting didn't go well.

I go to the door of the ship and I see the symbol for my elite squad that all went MIA about 6,000 years ago. The symbol is of my squad is a plasma ball. Once I see my symbol I get confused. How is my ship here? I go to the door to open it, but it automatically opens. Once the door opens all I see is smoke, lots of smoke. I try to wave the smoke out of the way, but it doesn't work. I then hear coughing, lots of it. I turn around to see if anyone followed me and it looks like the whole camp did, they're just keeping a really safe distance. I look back at the smoke and it clears. In front of me, I can't believe my eyes, is my elite squad.

"Dan," My number two and my boyfriend from back then, Alex starts, but I cut him off.

"Jackson. Call me Jackson, Alex." He gets out of the ship and hugs me in a bear hug, and I automatically miss his hugs. All the feeling I had for him quickly come rushing back. He then lets go of me.

"You have no idea how long we have searched, Jackson." He smiles when he calls me my name; my whole squad knows everything about me, so he knows why I'm called Jackson.

The rest of my squad gets out of the ship. They are all pretty bruised up. They have scars all over their faces and their armor is all torn. Some of them are missing parts of their armor. I'm surprised they haven't lost or ruined it by now. They armor they wear is silver armor, like mine, but they have a two yellow stars on their left shoulder, signifying they are my elite squad.

In my squad is Lexi, a daughter of Hades who has pale skin, black hair, and black eyes; she's my best friend. Adam, son of Kronos who has gold eyes (and no, he isn't a minion of Kronos, he doesn't even like his dad.), blond hair, and is quite tan; he goes out with Lexi. Amber, a daughter of a Titan named Epimetheus (Titan of afterthought and father of excuses.) who has tan skin, brown hair, and brown eyes; she's a really good fighter. Joey, a son of Mnemosyne (Titan of memory and remembrance.) who has black hair, blue eyes, and tan skin; goes out with Amber. Finally is Alex, son of Zeus who has blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, and an amazing well-toned, tan body. This has been my elite squad since 9,000 years ago.

My squad all came to me and they all give me hugs. I know, I usually don't show affection, but they are my squad. Them going MIA is the reason I'm like the way I am. When I had my squad, I was always in a good mood, without them I had no one to back me up in a fight. It was all or nothing. I could not afford to go down. After they all hugged me I hear a couch and I turn around to see the three Vanguards.

"Sorry, where are my manners? Vanguards, this is my elite squad Alex, Lexi, Amber, Joey, and Adam." I tell them while pointing to each of them. "Guys, these are three Vanguards named Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico Di Angelo. They arrived 1,000 years after the disappearance." They all shake hands with each other and I look at the campers. "Campers, this is my crew. They will be helping as well. They will assist in whatever they are needed."

"Alright. The more the merrier!" Chiron yells, this man is always looking on the bright side.

"Come on guys, follow me." I tell my squad.

We walk to the cabin in silence. Nico, Thalia, and Percy even followed as well. I don't mind, it's just I don't feel comfortable talking about the situation with them. I'll have to figure that out later. We get to the cabin and tell them to take showers. Nico, Thalia, and Percy agreed to let my squad take showers in their rooms. While they were doing so, I went to see Leo.

"Hey Leo, is there anymore bedrooms in the cabin? I know you were smart enough to add more rooms. They are probably hidden, so where are they?" He smiles.

"You're smart, Jackson. On the ceiling outside of the last bedroom on the right is a button. You probably didn't see it, but it's there. Press it and stairs will come down. Up there is two king sized beds. I didn't add anymore-secret bedrooms. But there are other secret rooms. See ya." He then walked away from me.

I didn't go back to the cabin after that, though. I went to Annabeth. I don't care if she is mean person. She probably designed the cabin and I want the blueprints. I went to her cabin, but her half-brother said she is the Poseidon cabin. I thanked him and went to the Poseidon cabin. I knocked on the door and I heard someone say come-in, so I did. I walked in to see Annabeth on the bed just lying next to Mark. Once he saw me he glared at me.

"What do you want, Jackson?" He says in disgust.

"I'm not here for you, Mark. I want to ask Annabeth something." I tell him.

Annabeth gets off the bed and walks to me. "What do you want?"

"I'm pretty sure you designed my cabin, so did you?" She nods. "I want the blueprints for it. The whole layout of the cabin. Can I have them?" I ask her nicely.

She thinks about it. " I have no use of it, so sure. Be right back." She runs out of the cabin. Five minutes later she comes back with them in a black tube. "Here you go." I give her my thanks and walk out of the cabin. When I get back to my can I see everyone has already taken a shower. They are all sitting on the couch in the living room or on the floor. They don't even take notice of me. I look at their faces and I automatically know something happened.

"What's wrong with all of you?" I ask them and they all turn their heads to face me.

Percy's POV

Let me start off when the ship crashed and Jackson's elite squad got here. I was at a safe distance from the ship with Nico and Thalia. The rest of the campers were behind us. At first a guy got out and he said something to her. I couldn't here her because they were to far away. They talked and then he hugged her. This wasn't a friend hug, it was an I love and missed you hug. I felt a little jealous, but whatever. I just met Jackson, it's not like I'm in love with her.

After he stopped hugging her he said something and then more people came out of the ship. They were all greeting each other and Jackson even hugged them back and showed emotion. It was kind of weird to watch. I looked at Thalia and she nodded in understanding. She coughed loudly and they turned around. Jackson apologized for her lack of manners and introduced us. I shook hands with all of them. Jackson then announced that they would be staying with us. Where they are staying? I have no clue.

We walked back to the cabin and Nico, Thalia, and I offered the others our bathrooms to take showers. Once they were taking showers Jackson left. Thirty minutes later everyone was done with their showers and sat in the living room. Nico, Thalia, and I were in the kitchen.

"What's their story?" I ask them.

"No clue. But if Jackson if friends with them, they can't be bad. I mean, she has good judgment and I trust that. She isn't Chaos's number two for nothing." Thalia tells us.

"Why don't we just ask them?" Nico asks us and Thalia and I face palm.

We walk into the living room and they all stop talking. What were they talking about?

"So, what's your story?" Thalia asks bluntly.

The boy who hugged Jackson first, Alex, responded. "That's authorized information. I can only talk about it with Jackson and Chaos."

"You can tell us, man. We won't tell Jackson anything. We just want to know who you all are." Nico says.

"Authorized information, Nico." Alex tells us. He has the same calm voice when talking, like Jackson.

"Come on. We just want to know. We are the three most powerful soldiers working for Chaos. Well, next to Jackson." I tell him.

"Listen, kid, I can beat you all by myself. You three are only the most powerful because my group and I went missing. Now that we're back, we are next in line after Jackson at being the most powerful." Alex informs us, still keeping that calm voice of his.

Nico and Thalia started to get up to teach this guy a lesson, but the girl Jackson introduced as Lexi held up her hand. "You don't want to do that." Lexi told Nico and Thalia. "After Jackson, Alex here is number three. You don't want to fight him and he doesn't want to fight you. So both of you stop it and forget it."

"Calm down, Lexi. I wasn't going to fight them. I was just messing with them." Alex laughs.

I can see Thalia and Nico are still mad, and so am I, but this guy is pointless to fight. Nico, Thalia, and I sit on the floor far away from Jackson's friends. The next thing I know I hear Jackson's voice.

"What's wrong with all of you?" She asks all of us.

"Nothing, boss." The girl named Amber tells her. The whole group laughs, I guess the have an inside joke because even Jackson laughs. "We were just waiting for you to return."

"Nice try, Amber, but giving your excuses to me don't work. Now really, what's wrong? There is so much tension I could cut it with a knife." Jackson asks us, expecting an answer. I was going to answer her, but someone else beat me to it.

Alex walks up to her. "Just a little miscommunication. I was messing with these kids, no big deal."

"Why were you messing with them though?" She asked wanting more answers.

Alex sighed. "They asked us what our story is and I told them it's authorized info. They asked again and I gave the same answer. Again they ask, so I got a little mad and start messing with them to cool off." Jackson smiles and moves closer to him. "What?" He asks her.

"You never could lie to me. I'm glad that didn't change." She gives him a quick peck on his lips and steps away. "I left to go see Nico. He told me there is a secret bedroom and that is has two king sized beds. Who is going to take it?" Jackson asks and Lexi, Amber, Joey, and Adam raise their hands. "Who's exactly sleeping with who? There are only two beds."

"I volunteer to stay in the same bed as Lexi!" Adam says smiling. Lexi nods in approval. I guess they have a thing.

"Same with me and Amber!" Joey says and again Amber nods in approval. They have a thing too, I'm guessing.

"Alright then, that's been settled." She turns to Alex. "Since there are no beds left, do you mind staying in my room?" He smiles.

"I thought you'd never ask." He tells her still smiling.

I guess Jackson is over me. I doubt she even liked me. Again, it's not like I had strong feelings for her anyways.

Jackson showed us the secret bedroom. As much as I hate Leo, he did a good job making this cabin. Once everyone got acquainted with their sleeping arrangements, we all decided to watch movies. Nico, Thalia, and I sat as far away from the others as possible, but still able to watch the movie. After the second movie was done Jackson got up.

"Well, it's 6:30 so it's time for dinner. After dinner is a party at Ashley's cabin. You all wanna come?" Jackson asks everyone. We all nod, even Nico and surprisingly Thalia nods as well.

We exit the cabin and walk to the eating pavilion. I look at everyone and this is what I see. Joey and Amber holding hands. Lexi and Adam holding hands. Thalia and Nico holding hands. Even Jackson and Alex are holding hands. I've got to get myself a girlfriend.
