This chapter was never supposed to happen, but I thought I might want to give a quick Roman perspective. I actually went back and wrote this while I was finishing up chapter 10, so the note about chapter 3 having more than 1.5 words is actually chapter 4. Sorry but this is still longer than the first 2. Note- I will not do Reyna chapters unless there's some special reason.

Disclaimer- Rick Riordan owns da ergo two.

Reyna

"…. Destroy the graceus' camp!"Octavian was shouting. The 12th Legion roared in the defiance. They pounded their weapons on their shields. Reyna stood to the side of the podium, teeth clenched. Octavian continued ranting about betrayal, destruction and murder. The camp was in a war frenzy, oblivious to what they were up against. Reyna had closely studied Percy's fighting technique at the war games a few weeks back. He fought independently, unlike the Roman tactics, which focused on teamwork and cooperation. If the Greeks managed to break the Roman formation, then the 12th Legion would be destroyed, than pooped on by the Greek phalanx and Hypaspists.

Octavian shouted one final lie, and with a lot of cheering and hooting, started forming ranks. The camp was about a mile's march down a rural road, over a hill, according to scouts. Reyna bitterly followed the camper's and took her position. She caught sight of another spy sprinting down towards them. Reyna went to meet him.

The scout seemed tired, but unharmed. He panted for breath, and started, "Almost... almost saw me." *pant* "Got out as fast as I can…. They're not prepared for the invasion."

Octavian nodded in satisfaction. "We'll wipe those infidels right off the earth!" he said, and joined his cohort. Reyna took one last look at the battle plan. The first cohort formed the front line, with 2nd and 4th right behind it. The 3rd and 5th cohorts were protecting their flanks. Everyone started marching just as Reyna left the command tent. The 12th legion, in all their might and glory, would look intimidating to most enemies. But Reyna was positive that destroying Camp Half-Blood would not be an easy task, if possible at all.

Reyna rode Scipio as the legion marched towards the hill. The Golden Fleece was glittering on a branch of the tree on top of it. There were no signs of the dragon curled around the tree that early scouts had reported. The legion reached the hill and started marching up. Boots stomped on the ground. Just as they reached the crest of the hill and the first soldiers caught a glimpse of the camp, the spot right in front of them exploded into green fire. The first cohort was tossed backwards into their comrades, causing mass confusion. A line of Greek Fire barred their path to the camp. People started shouting orders to reorganize and count casualties. Reyna barked, "Pull back 10 paces and hold your ground! Defensive formation!" The legion fell backwards a few steps and gathered in a testudo formation. Reyna peered at the flame.

Then, it suddenly shut off. It was so unexpected, Reyna actually reared her pegasus in shock. A few of the other campers recoiled instinctively. Where the flame was a few seconds ago, a phalanx stood. Reyna could tell the majority of the phalanx were elite veterans, probably having more experience than Reyna herself. She could see it in their eyes. For a second, everything was quiet. Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter looked at each other, both in fighting formation. Then, before Reyna could call the order to retreat back onto even ground, Octavian shouted, "CHARGE!" and the battle erupted into absolute chaos.

Things went wrong almost immediately. A storm of pila and arrows soared and smashed into the Greeks. The projectiles all bounced off the Greek's massive shields, all etched with an intimidating design. The Romans stubbornly charged uphill into a solid Greek phalanx, and smashed into a wall of pikes. The spears thrust forward unexpectedly, and cries of pain were let out. The Romans pushed forward, trying to get past the phalanx. Then suddenly, a group of centaurs dropped out of light speed behind them and smashed into Rome's archers and the rear of the testudo. Soldiers went flying, and the archers desperately tried to fight off the fully equipped half-man half-horses with their shoot daggers, to no avail.

Reyna mentally face palmed herself. Her camp, driven by a lunatic, were hurling themselves at the Greek pikes for whatever reason. More Greeks appeared out of the woods to the side of the hill, and clashed into the Roman flanks. In the air, Camp Jupiter's eagles carrying soldiers behind enemy lines suddenly scattered as anti-air systems from Camp Half Blood suddenly started filling the air with hot lead and flak. About a quarter of the eagles were hit and wend down. The rest quickly retreated into Roman territory.

On the ground, though, the 12th legion seemed to be gaining ground on the flanks. A few more seconds and they would be able to flank and destroy the phalanx. Then suddenly, a massive BOOM! sent dirt and grass flying up only several feet in front of Reyna, Scipio whinnied and reared up, throwing Reyna off his back. When Reyna looked forward, Scipio had run back towards their base and in front of where he was a second ago, there was a massive crater and several limp bodies. Reyna recoiled from the sight of dead people soaked in red.

Great. Apparently, Camp Half Blood had an elite fighting force, a powerful navy, anti-air systems, and to top it off, artillery guns.

She tried to focus elsewhere. The Romans, suddenly confused by an artillery shell, were smashed into again with renewed effort by the Greek cavalry. Reyna knew it was time to pull back and regroup, before the legion was destroyed. She was just about to call a retreat order, when the Argo II suddenly appeared on the horizon.

The help is coming. Maybe the 12th legion ISN'T doomed. Anyways, I have a question. I hear the quote, "Whoever said nothing is impossible had never tried to slam a revolving door," alot lately. ANyone tell me if its from MoA? If so, what page? SHoutout to you if you get it right :) Donuts to you if you drop a review, I really appreciate them. It helps me think that I DON'T completely suck at writing Hope you enjoyed this lame chapter. Update on Friday.

I've got a nice suprise planned for the next Percy chapter.

Here's what my average day on the computer is- pic . twitter O652y6fJ - Minus the spaces

I don't know why I even decided to show it, but I guess I was bored xD.

Don't bother following my Twitter, I rarely post anything worthwhile on it. Mostly just use it to hate Rick Riordan's Rickhangers.
