As we made our way towards the earth shattering sounds, we saw the strength of the border of the camp detoriating at a large pace. Huge savage creatures, with venom dripping off their tusks, murderous looks in their eyes, these looked like the perfect predators. They were about 7 feet tall, so not that big, but that did not cut out the marvelous strength these creatures seemed to possess. The guardian dragon Peleus engaged them in battle. The dragon blew his fiery breath on them, but it did not seem to faze them much. Peleus did not attempt a full out assault, which I thought to be a wise decision as it would not have ended well for him. As we all reached the camp border, the creatures struck the camp border once again and with an astounding crack, the camp borders shattered.

Fear washed over had been training hard for the past six months. But, right now, we were unprepared, had no knowledge of the enemy and looked like we were going to be crushed. But we were not going to go down without a fight.

While, I was standing frozen in shock, Annabeth was shouting commands

"Malcolm, organize the campers and prepare them. We are under attack. ASAP"

"Rachel, go through the portal and inform Reyna and Frank .We need a lot of reinforcements on this one"

"Someone inform Chiron. Nyssa gather as much Greek fire as possible and lay as many traps. You are going to lead the Hephaestus cabin till Leo returns."

"Lay the infantry and cavalry. Archers behind some protection. Where is Clarisse?"

Meanwhile, the creatures, which were around 60 in number, were closing in on us. I could see it in their eyes, hatred for all. There would be no talking to them. We would have to rely on physical strength and that was these creatures` strong point. I took Annabeth and the remaining onlookers back towards the main pavilion where our troops were to be organized. It would be foolish for us half a dozen to try to take them on. I was beginning to feel doubt whether there was any way to kill them, And even if there was, whether we would be able to do it.

In three minutes time, we were two hundred campers against sixty of these damn creatures. Well, there was no time for thought as the creatures stormed towards the main lines and the battle began. Instantly, our army divided into different sectors. Sectors which we had carefully chosen and balanced, so that each sector had demigods of all qualities and power. Each sector had about 15 demigods. To make it fair, Anna Beth, Jason, me and all such were all in different , we were short on the others of the prophecy as well as the larger Roman army.

My sector charged towards the nearest group of three. One of them charged me.I attempted to slash at it with my sword, but the creature`s tusks and hide was so hard that my sword simply bounced off time, it attacked and I jumped backwards just in time. It kept on attacking and it took my entire strength and energy to intercept or escape his attacks. The rest of my sector were all occupied with just one of them. On the other side, I saw Nico and Annabeth fight one as `s death god powers did not seem to work much on the creatures and he did not seem to like it.

Annabeth used her invisibility cap and attacked the creatures` creature howled and Nico struck. He catapulted to the back of the creature and struck his stygian Iron sword onto his back. The creature howled once again again. Even in its injured state, it fought for its life like a tiger. It took both of them, both dangerously strong demigods, about ten more minutes to take it down. In the end, Nico struck the final blow and the creature fell dead.

The very fact that it did not dissolve into powder startled all of us. That meant that it was not a typical Greek/Roman monster. Well, it was 1 down.59 to go.

Everywhere else, there was mayhem and chaos. The creatures waded into groups of campers, knocking them here and there .The medics lead by Will Solace had to work very hard, as the number of injured were increasing by the minute and these creatures did not seem to die. At last, the creature which was fighting with, made a mistake of attacking himself out of confusion. That gave me the chance to strike and I pounded the creature. I stabbed his nose and karate -kicked his legs. The creature eventually fell dead. Fifty-eight left. Oh, well.

After about twenty-five minutes of the start of attack, we had only killed five of them and about hundred and fifty of our campers were injured with 6 casualties .But, every casualty was a pain in the heart for Ares cabin fought valiantly, and along with NIco`s death god powers as well as my water powers, we managed to finish three more of them. But, pretty soon, we were only a dozen remaining, while around fifty of the creatures still remained. I wondered why the Romans hadn`t shown up, nor did Rachel.

Annabeth"I can`t believe I am saying this, but we need to retreat."

I spoke "Retreat where? Abandon camp? No way!"

Annabeth"We are all going to die otherwise."

I replied "The Greek fires did a lot of damage to them. I think their weakness is fire"

Annabeth"We are a bit short on ,where the heck is Leo?"

Clarisse"We stand and fight."

Annabeth"Are u mad? Do u want to die right now? I have a hundred plus campers, injured under me now and I am not going to sacrifice them for your big egos. The camp can be recovered, not the camper`s lives"

I said"Ok, I am going to distract them. All of you, load the campers into the Argo 2.I know there is not enough space for all of us there, but we have no choice. Come on, get with it."

Annabeth"But, these creatures will kill you."

I replied "Save the arguments for later. Please we need to leave soon."

Clarisse "we can leave through the portal"

I said"No,If Camp Jupiter was safe ,we would have had reinforcements long time is going on there as ,we need to take the Argo ,can you please go without further discussion."

With that the others departed, while I was left alone to distract 50 of the damn creatures, which had succeeded in forcing me and Annabeth to abandon our home-Camp Half Blood.
