(Percy's pov)

Ω after the Pankration battle Ω

It was silent that night. No songs were sung yet the day was ours. Grief hung in the air as the Son of Ares had his shroud burned in honor of his memory. For once, the three parties didn't try to kill each other, both swords and spears stayed respectfully in their master's holders or scabbards.

The entire Ares mourned the loss of one their brothers. Silent tears streaked down their battle scarred faces as their brothers body burned in its pyre. As soon as it started, the burning of the shroud ended. Campers, Hunters, and Spartans combined quickly dispersed as the flames died down.

Just then, Chiron came trotting up towards us, his face grave and serious, "Percy, we're having an emergency council right now in the Big House."

I nodded and turned to my Generals, "Let's go."

Ω In the Big House Ω

All the counselors were there as my Generals and I entered the war room. Every single pair of eyes tracked us as we took our place near Annabeth and Thalia. From behind, a pair of footsteps was heard as Chiron came forth followed by Mr. D, both of them casting an ominous feeling into the entire room.

Chiron cleared his throat and pounded the ping pong table to get every ones attention...even if the room was silent enough to hear a pin drop, "Heroes, we have all witnessed an attack inside the camp just moments ago. Now the Gods have deemed this place unsafe for their children...and for that...we must leave Camp Half Blood."

Immediately as he said that, the entire room ignited into chaos. Shouts of uproars and profanity filled the air while Chiron strived to bring back order into the meeting, "Heroes please! Shouting and arguing will not change the fact that we must leave camp for your safety."

"But where will we go?" Leo from the Zeus cabin spoke, "The only other safe place for demigods is Olympus and I doubt the gods will let us take shelter there."

Will Solace nodded, "Leo is right. Even though we're their kids, the Gods still wouldn't let us stay there for more than a day."

"Not to mention that the second we step outside the borders, monsters and probably Hybrid warriors will attack us," Catherine looked to us all before speaking again, "Camp Half Blood is the only safe place for us demigods...it's our home."

"How about the Legion Camp?" all heads turned to Pollux who now had the board, "Why don't we take refuge in the Roman camp."

Both Mr. D and Chiron flinched at the mention of taking homage in the Legion Camp. All of us – except for Laurie, Christy, and Mason – glanced at each other at the widely known memory that we all had of the Roman camp…or what was left of it. We all remembered the battle; the valiant stand of the Roman demigods as the Giants came rolling in with Gaea at the lead. Outnumbered three to one and yet they still managed to defeat the Giants when the Olympians arrived…but with a price, the destruction of the camp. So many homeless Roman demigods, the home they all lived and trained in was gone in an instant. Thankfully they were still with us during the battle of the first Olympus in Greece.

Suddenly my head began to have flashes from that battle, Jason and I leading both Greeks and Romans against the Giants, my father and I battling one Giant while Zeus and Jason fought the Giant King. Apparently Annabeth must've had a similar flashback of memories as well...especially what happened on that day.

"Young one, we cannot use the Roman camp, it's still clouded with heavy magic and...And it would be disrespectful to our Roman comrades," Chiron bowed his head at his own memory...a demigod that he couldn't save during the battle of the first Olympus, "Nevertheless; Mt. Olympus is our only safe haven as of this moment."

"Or you guys could stay with us," all heads turned to look at me as I spoke, "If I let Chaos and Thorakis know about this, I can arrange for the entire camp and probably, also the Hunters to be allowed a safe haven on our space station that is orbiting space."

Thalia scoffed, "Hold up, you guys really have a massive base that's orbiting around the earth? If that's the case, how come the mortals haven't spotted it yet?"

I gave out a short laugh, "Actually they have Thals."

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at me, "They have?"

I nodded, "Yes they have, and actually, everyone on earth has seen it."

From the end of the table groaned both Travis and Connor, "Dude, just tell us already! We already get enough complex answers with Annabeth over here."

Thankfully I was standing behind a window during the meeting. All their eyes were transfixed upon me as moonlight as well as the moon appeared behind me, "It's the moon."

Every single jaw in the room, including Mr. D's and Chiron's literally dropped to the floor as I said that. Then again, I couldn't blame them that they were acting like that. Ok so how do I begin to explain this to you guys? Ok so you're all thinking that the moon is Artemis' property since she's the moon goddess right? Well that is true in a sense, but not entirely. See like the sun itself, Apollo doesn't control the actual sun; he controls the source of it, the power of the sun itself. Now just switch the sun with the moon and Apollo with Artemis and voilà! You now know why Artemis isn't pissed at the Spartans...that and also Chaos created everything in the universe from the Big Bang theory and trust me, you do not want to know how he performed the Big Bang theory.

Chiron somehow managed to lift his chin off the floor so he could speak again, "So the moon is your base?"

"Yes," I nodded and glanced at Nico before turning back my gaze towards Chiron, "Well one of many Spartan bases throughout space."

Leo from the Zeus cabin gulped, "Wait, you mean you guys have more bases throughout the universe?"

"Yep, especially around the planets Saturn and Uranus."

"Why is that?"

"It's a long story but the Spartans managed to use both planets as a prison to hold in Ouranos and Kronos." (A/N both will be explained in the Prequel of Spartans of Fate and Chaos, Spartans: Rise of Ouranos)

"Say what?"

"It's better if you don't ask the details."

"Wait hold up!" Thalia held up her hands and glared at me, "How can you guys use the moon as your base? That's Artemis' property not yours!"

"Actually Thalia, it isn't her property, the moon wasn't created by her, it was created by Chaos," I crossed my arms and smirked at her as a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Jake Mason leaned forward and closed his eyes, "Ok but still, how is the moon your guy's base? I mean it would be headlines in the mortal news about 'people living on the moon'."

"That's because we don't live on the surface, we live inside the moon itself."

"...you're kidding right?"

"No I'm not," I shook my head as I crossed my arms, "When the second age began, Chaos took himself away from earth and sought refuge on the moon. Seeing that space was rather large, he decided to set out to create other planets, other galaxies, and other life forms. For eons he has expanded and expanded the universe with his creations…and filling them with lost demigods that have no place on earth to call home."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw both Thalia and Annabeth flinch as I said those lines. They still felt guilty about what they did to Nico and I two centuries ago.

I looked back to Chiron and kept my arms crossed above my stomach, "The Chaos Moon base is pretty large for the Campers and Hunters and also the Olympians, not to mention that it will protect you guys from any monster or Hybrid that will try to attack. Our best bet is to pack up and leave immediately before another attack happens."

All the councilors, Hunters, Chiron and Mr. D nodded in approval at the plan. Chiron pounded his hooves on the wooden floor, "Council adjourned, prepare for evacuation."

(Annabeth's pov)

Ω Cabin 8 Ω

After the meeting ended, the Hunters and Campers rushed towards their cabins to being packing. It wasn't fear the compelled us to pack in a frenzy, it was the fact that we were all going to the Spartans base: the moon. Then another thought popped into my mind, all these years of wondering where Percy was, all the times where I wished he was near, it made me feel stupid when I finally realize the Percy was right in front of me every single night when I looked up to the moon.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear Thalia walk up from behind me, "Annabeth, you done packing?"

Slowly, I turned and sat down on my bunk, "Yeah…I'm done packing."

Thalia blinked and sat right next to me, "Hey you okay?"

"No, no I'm not," I shook my head and looked down, "After all this time, Percy was always right in front of me. I lost him so many times but I managed to find him…but for two centuries…two long centuries I thought I truly lost him because of me, only to find out that he was only present in front of me in the night sky."

She wrapped an arm around me and pulled me in close like the way she used to do when I was seven, "You still love him don't you?"

I felt tears trying to escape my eyes. For two centuries I kept asking myself that question for awhile now, and I've always failed to come up with an answer. Now that he was here again…I couldn't shake the fact that I still love him like I used to love him all those years ago.

Thalia smiled, my silence giving her an answer to her question, "Look I won't judge Annabeth. I know how you feel about this."

A soft laugh escaped my mouth, "What? You still have feelings for Nico?"

She blushed, "Well…maybe…"

"Oh don't lie to me Thals, you so still love him."

"Oh my gods Annabeth shut up."

I grinned and nodded, "Okay Thalia, okay."

Ω in the pavilion Ω

Hours later, the entire camp was packed and ready to go. The Spartans planted a void shield around Thalia's pine tree to keep it from dying as the fleece was removed. Not only did the void shield protected the tree, it also kept the borders up and running.

We sat there in silence, waiting for Percy or Nico to appear and take us to the base. It was thirty minutes when a couple of girls from the Aphrodite cabin screamed. All of us snapped our heads towards the sky as a huge shadow loomed overhead. Suddenly a huge roar in the wind echoed as a massive ship appeared in the sky. It was long and sleek; the metal was a shiny silver as it sailed towards the beach head. The entire camp watched in awe as the ship landed on the sandy shores, the sight reminded me of a washed up whale.

"Time to get aboard," I nearly jumped out of my skin as Percy materialized before me, his entire body wearing his Spartan armor.

"Percy what is that?" Travis blinked at the giant ship as if he was dreaming it, "That really can't be real right?"

Percy chuckled, "Come on, let's get rolling."

In a matter of minutes, all the Campers, Hunters, and Spartans were aboard the UMSC Argos. Everything inside the ship made me speechless, it was like I was walking in a giant fortress of steel and bronze. I don't know how I ended up on the bridge with Thalia and the others but there I was standing with them as Percy took his seat in the Captain's chair, "All decks, this is Admiral Jackson. Prepare for immediate departure. Lorik, thrusters."

"Moorings retracted, Admiral. Moon base reports ready," Lorik tapped in the controls our coordinates for departure, "Thrusters fired, we are now airborne."

We felt the entire ship gently float off the beach and into the air as we slowly glided towards the sea. Julia turned towards Percy, "The ship has cleared the camps borders. The ship is ready for slip-space rupture."

Percy nodded, "Set a course for the base."

This time a computerized male voice spoke through the speakers, "Aye-aye, Admiral. Course laid in."

"Thank you Creon," Percy glanced at me then at Lorik, "Maximum rupture. Punch it."

Suddenly the entire ship lurched forward and launched itself at a blinding speed into space. The scene around me was a blur as we inched closer and closer to the moon. Finally the ship lurched again as the slip-space came to a halt, the moon orbiting in front of us as we flew towards the far side of the moon.

Thalia leaned in to whisper in my ear, "I can't believe we're in space."

I nodded as I kept my eyes on the moon, "I know, I can't believe the Spartans have been in space all this…holy Athena the moon is moving!"

Thalia and the others turned to see a portion of the moon shift until a gateway appeared in the surface. We watched as Lorik steered the ship into the opening and into the inner depths of the moon. Once inside, Percy turned towards the Senior Campers, Hunters, Chiron and Mr. D and grinned, "Welcome to the Spartan Moon base, Installation 001."

(Percy's pov)

Ω walking towards a debriefing room Ω

Once the Campers and Hunters were settled in their quarters, the Generals and I had a meeting with Chaos. As we walked towards the debriefing room, I happened to cross paths with Annabeth who was exploring the station by herself. Somehow my eyes couldn't be pulled away from her as she walked down the hallway. I saw her stop in front of a camouflage window view screen that showed earth.

"You still like her, don't you?" I looked to my right to see Nico, Laurie, Mason, and Christy looking at me, Nico himself had a smug look on his face as I blushed, "Talk to her."

I shook my head, "I can't, we have to meet with Chaos and tell him what happened at camp."

Laurie laughed, "Percy, just go, us four will manage. Just talk to Annabeth."

All four of them smiled and nodded for me to talk to her while they met with Chaos, a small smile evident on my face as I watched them walk into the room that Chaos was in. Slowly I turned to where Annabeth was standing at and walked towards her, her attention was momentarily occupied by the sight of earth from outer space.

I came up right next to her silently and gazed down at earth also, "Beautiful isn't it?"

Annabeth nodded and whispered, "It is, one of Chaos' perfect and most beautiful planets that he has ever created."

"Well…I wouldn't say the most beautiful planet that he has ever created," I glanced at her and smiled, "You should see the planets Athens and Athena."

Her eyes blinked in wonder then looked back towards earth as she took in my words, "Athens and Athena…this is too much for me to take in."

A soft laugh escaped me as Annabeth rolled her eyes at me, "Hey give me a break, I didn't know that chaotic Spartans existed until like four days ago."

"Chaotic Spartans…that actually has a nice ring to it."

"Well at least I know that your head is still filled with kelp after two centuries."

"And you're still a Wisegirl after so many years."

We both smiled at each other for the first time in many years, the old happiness that we once shared with each other so long ago somehow made itself present at that moment as we held each other's gaze. Stormy gray stared straight into sea green as sea green stared deep into stormy gray. Reluctantly, we pulled away from our gaze and looked back at earth as it orbited slowly so that the U.S. was now about to enter morning time in the east coast.

Annabeth let out a soft sigh as she broke the silence that surrounded us after our staring contest ended a few minutes ago, "I can't believe I didn't know about this…"

Confusion settled on my face as turned my head slowly towards her, "What do you mean?"

"I can't believe I spent two centuries looking for you only to find out that you were always here…in front of me."

"You didn't have to look for me Annabeth…you were busy with college and the hunt…you didn't had to waste anymore time by looking for me."

She bit her bottom lip and looked down, "I thought I lost you for good Percy…I still cared about you even though we broke up…not even when I joined the hunt did my care for you lessened."

I forced myself to keep looking at the planet orbiting in front of me as Annabeth talked, "The guilt I felt, it tore me apart inside every time as each day passed. The fact that I made you leave was too much for me to bare. Every single night I would always look up to the moon, hoping that I would find you and tell you everything…tell you what I felt…tell you what my heart was holding in for so long…"

Now it was my turn to look down and whisper, "Annabeth…"

"Percy," a few tears streaked down her cheeks as she chocked on her words, "Percy…I'm so sorry…for everything…"

I lifted my head up to see her slowly open her arms like when she did the same thing before our quest into the Labyrinth. In a flash, I stepped into her arms and hugged her tight as she wrapped her arms around my waist, her face buried into my chest as she wept silently. I patted her back and held her close to me, my head buried into her golden blonde hair as the scent of lemon soap filled my nose.

Annabeth whispered from my chest, "Percy…promise me something."

"What is it Annabeth?"

"Promise me that I won't lose you again?"

I slowly pulled away to look into her stormy gray eyes as she pulled away also to look into mine, "I promise, I promise that you won't lose me again Annabeth."

For the second time today, I saw that smile that I haven't seen for two hundred years appear on her face. Slowly I leaned in towards her while she leaned up to me while standing on her tippy toes, our lips slowly closing the distance in between us.

Our lips were only a centimeter away when someone cleared their throat at us from behind, "Enjoying the scenery are we?"

We quickly pulled away as Chaos laughed at our expressions with gusto, his entire body shimmering with moving images of galaxies and planets, "I'm sorry am I interrupting something?

"No."

"Yes."

Chaos blinked, "So I'm guessing it was a 'maybe' then?"

"..."

"..."

"Oh yeah, it was a maybe."

I rolled my eyes at Chaos as he laughed. I was about to make a witty come back when a girls scream sounded off from down the hallway. In a flash, Chaos, Annabeth and I dashed into the room where the scream was heard from. There in the center of the debriefing room stood the Oracle...only she wasn't in her oracle mode. Her eyes were a violet cover and her voice wasn't as raspy as the oracle voice that would give out prophecies.

The girl quickly turned to me and pointed a finger at both Annabeth and I and spoke a prophecy...but a different type of prophecy:

Six shall travel to where all roads lead to,

In the sands of the arena will the ancient voices speak,

The lost goddess slumbers in ancient stones,

A lover's kiss shall reawaken her in the myths time of need,

Near the ancient point of the world that was once known to be

The lost ninth shall prove Romulus's warriors existence

And just how it started so suddenly, the girl's eyes turned back to their usual brown and collapsed onto the table. Annabeth and quickly rushed over to her as she regained consciousness.

She looked at us and then at Chaos before looking back to us, "Um, what happened?"

Annabeth shook her head, "We don't know, we heard you scream them we rushed in here to see you spilling out a prophecy...but in a different way than usual."

The oracle tilted her head, "Different as in?"

"Your eyes were violet instead of green," I helped her sit up as Annabeth handed her a bottle of water, "I think you were possessed."

The girl looked at me, "Possessed? Like I was being controlled by something?"

Annabeth nodded, "Yes, it has happened before."

"Well, what did the voice say?"

I shrugged and told her the prophecy that she poured out of her mouth. When I was done explaining to her everything, she handed me a metal bracelet. It was made out of gold with letters engraved onto the metal, but in language that I couldn't decipher. I was about to ask what the bracelet was for when I saw a four letter abbreviated word etched on the inside of the gold bracelet: SPQR. I looked to Annabeth who also saw the word, both of us knowing where our next destination was: Rome, Italy.
