"Alpha, I finally found you." The mystery man said.

Chapter 7

Percy/Alpha

People started going out of the Mess Hall to see what's going on. A man with silver assassin's cloak walked over to him and he recognized him. He was Chaos' personal assassin before Percy. Chaos told me how he was a traitor and how he betrayed the troop. He was Delta.

"Delta." Alpha said with a harsh tone in my voice.

"You know him?" Annabeth asked as she backed away from Delta.

"Alpha, I'm surprised you even made friends with this daughter of Athena." Delta said with a smirk.

"She's not my friend." Alpha said.

"Oh, she's not? My bad." Delta said with a smirk.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to assassinate you. I heard from Gaea that you're her valuable price."

"Valuable... price? Oh, not again."

"You will surrender now or your friends here will die!"

"I will NEVER surrender to you! I follow orders from Chaos and Chaos only."

"I remember I used to do that but being a traitor is fantastic! I got to see how they suffered!" Delta laughed but Alpha was sure that they was no humor in it.

"I don't think I would betray Chaos after all he's given me. I know how being betrayed feels like." Alpha said with sadness in his voice which got the campers shocked to hear that.

"Like the scar I gave you?" Delta asked as he smirked, "I gave that to you as a present hundreds of years ago for taking my place!"

"You betrayed the legion. You don't deserve Chaos' blessings!" Alpha screamed at Delta's face which got him to fume with rage once more.

"I betrayed them for a reason!"

"A reason that was to try and rule the world? A reason that you would be the most powerful being in the whole universe? That's only Chaos' job!"

"And my job is to assassinate you!"

Delta raised his hands and fire surrounded Alpha but all Alpha did was chuckle and everyone seemed surprised.

"I'm immune to fire, Delta." Alpha said with a smirk.

"And so am I!" Delta screamed as he lowered his hands and the fire died down.

"Are you immune to lightning?" asked Alpha.

"No, what are you-"

Delta stopped and realized what Alpha was going to do. He widened his eyes and said, "No!" but before he could say anything else, he got strucked by lightning. Once again, he shot a few feet back and hit the climbing wall. The campers looked at Percy with surprised looks. He just performed a power of the Big Three; lightning. Delta stood up again and this time, he lost his patience. He took out his 3 inch sword then disappeared and re-appeared in front of Alpha. Without hesitation, Delta slashed his sword at Alpha but he just caught it with his hand.

"WHAT THE-" Delta was surprised, "Chaos made you invulnerable?"

"700 years ago, I lost the Achilles' heel and Chaos decided that I'd have that curse once again." Alpha answered.

Delta was angry by this time. Chaos never let anyone else have that gift to become invulnerable but being invulnerable means that you'll have a weak spot and Percy's weak spot is on the left side of his old weak spot when he dipped in the River Styx years ago for the war.

"And I was and still am Chaos' assassin who only had that gift." Alpha said as he gave Delta another smirk.

"I'm going to kill you!" Delta screamed.

"You're just like once of my half-siblings." Alpha said while eyeing Andrew without letting the campers know.

"AHHHH!" Delta was going to stike again but then the ground shook and out came 20 skeletons. It surrounded Alpha and Delta.

"Nico, stop what you're doing!" Annabeth screamed.

"I'm not doing anything!" Nico responded by screaming but only to get hit by Annabeth at the back of his head.

Alpha made one swift motion with his hand and the skeletons attacked Delta. Then something happened while the skeletons attacked Delta, water shot right at him. Everyone looked at Alpha with surprised looks again. He performed all the powers of the Big Three only Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and their children can do. After the water died down, the skeletons continued slashing at him, then they tore his cloak and the others were just too gross to mention.

"Μαΐου ψυχή σας προσπαθήστε να αναπαυθούν εν ειρήνη στο κενό." Alpha said and Delta disappeared into the void. Alpha made another swift motion with his hand and the skeletons vanished.

"Wow, I didn't think I would see this in my entire lifetime. One demigod who could master all the powers of the Big Three." Chiron looked flabbergasted. Usually, he doesn't look surprised even by the most surprising thing in the universe but now, he does.

"Chiron, you know his identity?" Nico asked while looking at Chiron and they were getting surrounded by the campers.

"So does Annabeth and Ariana." Chiron said as the campers looked at Annabeth and Ariana.

"Chiron, that's enough." Alpha said as he looked at Chiron trying to hold back a laugh.

"Now you give orders?" Chiron asked.

"Sorry." Alpha said.

"Why don't you reveal yourself already?" Andrew screamed from the back of the crowd.

"Wait, 700 years ago, you lost your Achilles' heel. The only people I know who survived were Achilles, Luke and Percy." Malcolm said.

"Oh, yes. Son of Athena, I did survive and in fact, I was one of those three." Alpha said as he looked at Ariana who was smiling at her brother.

"Percy?" Malcolm said without hesitation.

Alpha was silent. Then a cetain son of Poseidon said, "Well, are you going to reveal yourself?"

"I so hate him." Alpha muttered to himself then pulled his hood down.

"PERRRCY!" Grover tackled Percy for a hug.

"Hey, G-man." Percy said with a smile. A smile he hasn't used in a very, very long time.

Grover let go and he had tears in his eyes. He wiped them away before anyone could see it.

"Oh, look. If it isn't my half-brother Per-" before Andrew could finish his sentence, Percy's blade was on his neck.

"If you want this blade off your neck for some time, do not aggravate me." Percy said trying to stay calm as possible.

"Oh, what could you do-" Andrew was cut off again but this time by Alicia.

"Son of Poseidon, I warned you not to aggravate him. He loses control when he gets angry. The last time he did this, well, let's just say that caused the death of his last lieutenant." Alicia said.

Alpha sighed and let go of Andrew, "He was my best lieutenant but he doesn't follow my orders."

"But, Percy, you will stay here after the war, right?" Nico asked. Percy looked at his cousin and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"No. After the war if I survive I won't be staying here. I'll have to go back to the galaxy and continue with whatever mission Chaos will order me to go to. " Percy said then sighed.

"I'm guessing you've been to a lot of missions." Ariana said.

Percy nodded and said, "This is my 3000th mission. It's tiring actually. I don't get enough sleep and rest."

"And your scar?" Annabeth asked.

"What scar?" A confused looking Connor asked.

"Good question, daughter of Athena," Percy said and took his mask off. Everyone gasped at what they saw, "I got this on one of my missions. I do not wish to speak of it."

"And lost her." Alicia said as tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry. If only I was there during the attack." Percy said and pushed through the crowd to go to his tent.


Author's Note 6:

Hey, readers! Sorry if this part sucked. I think I know what you're thinking, 'The fighting scene was lame." Yes, I thought it was lame too but don't blame me. I'm not so good with fighting scenes but it will improve, hopefully. Hope you like this chapter. Review please! :)
