Next Chapter and this time more Vanguards. Also one of the Vanguards will be Ty Fin. Also for those who are wondering if Jason going to be in this story then read chapter 2 again and it will give you a good idea.

Percy POV:

"Ugh, I swear, either something's making us collide this hard or we need new ways of transportation." I mumbled as Quaver and I once again had another hard landing. Except this time we were in Germany.

I heard some more groans nearby and watch as the four other Vanguards who came with me got up. The first one up was Ty, who looked more happy then hurt. He was the tallest out of all of us; his head was almost touching the ceiling of this building. He wore a grey breastplate and orange paints. On his head was a bandana and sunglasses. He had a shotgun he calls Betsy strapped to his back. The weapon could fire bullets that would leave a hole in anything. Also he's super strong and is resistance to just about anything, even cancer.

Ember was the only female with us for now. She wore the same outfit my sister wore and had long red hair that reaches her back halfway. She's immune to fire and can turn into fire as well and heals her too. She had her two gauntlets called "Combust" and "Ignite", which allow her to manipulate fire.

Wolf was the loner of our group. He had short brown hair and yellow wolf like eyes. He had all the abilities of a wolf and could do wolf like attacks and turn into one as well. He was wearing brown clothing; similar to what Altair in Assassin Creed wore except with more of a wolf like appearance. He had a bow and arrows and two hunting knives.

And finally Fist, our melee fighter. He had cropped black hair, several scars on his face and red eyes. He wore a grayish/black breastplate, bracers, kneepads and green pants. He wields two knuckle braces with blades on them.

Currently Fist and Ember were still getting up. Ty was having a smoke and as for Wolf I suspect was scouting the area. Sure enough there he was, standing at the edge of the building, looking/sniffing the city.

"Our prey is near." He said as he stood up. Motioning his head towards the direction he then jumped off the building and skillfully landed on the ground. The rest of us followed right behind him and we began heading towards the direction he pointed in, all the while keeping our eyes out for enemies.

Ty soon commented, "Damn. Them bastards sure did a number on this joint."

Fist replied, "That's how daemons are, they usually trash the place that they conquer and just leave it how it is."

Ember smiled and retorted, "Just like you when you're done in the training dome."

Fist was about to say something when several things jumped at us. Using her gauntlets, Ember made a ring of fire that surrounded us, thus pushing our attackers back.

Realized that they were Skrall, fierce warriors who don't know the meaning of defeat. They have built bodies, dark grey skin covered by black armor and helmets covering their red eyes. They all carried long swords and razor blade shields. Strapped to their wrist was something called a Thornax launchers.

We heard a hissing noise and saw Visorak coming at us too. So the only order I could give was:

"Scatter!"

Wolf and Ember went to take on the Visorak, while Ty, Fist and I took on the Skrall. I used Storm Terror to stop a Skrall's attack with his razor shield, then gave him a slash in the chest and cut off his arm. I ignited two more on fire and kicked another under the jaw. A couple fired their Thornax at me, but my armored skin and armor repelled it as I fired a blast of hot water at them, making them screech in pain. Another raised his sword but I deflected and slashed him.

I turned to see Fist using his super speed to dodge the Skralls's attack and used his Knuckle braces to pound large dents in their bodies. One Skrall he stabbed twice using his blades and sent a sonic punch to a group of them, sending them flying.

Ty had just finished breaking a Skrall's neck before taking out Betsy. The shotgun left holes in each Skrall it hit, making them drop dead. Then he proceeded in lifting a car and smashing it on a bunch of them.

Wolf had morphed into a giant brown wolf and cut two Vistoraks in half as he grabbed another with his mouth. Soon he returned to his normal form and used both his claws and knife to cut deep wounds into the giant spiders.

Ember was basically setting them on fire with her gauntlets. When they fired their spinners, she created two fire shields, thus neutralizing their attacks. Then using one to shoot fireballs, she formed a blade from her other gauntlet and cut off their legs and parts of their shells.

About an hour or two later were surrounded by dead enemies. When we saw nothing else would pop out and try to kill us we sheathed our weapons.

"Well, that was amusing." Said a raspy voice.

We all turned around, ready to fight, but we relaxed once we saw who it was. "I'm assuming that you're Jest?"

Jest, who was currently sitting on a pile of rubble, was a Seeker like Quaver, except his skin was darker and he had marks all over his body and a few scars. He even had small black wings too. But the difference with him and the other Seekers is that, what I've been told because this happened before I joined, he did something and thus was exiled.

Now the problem is that all Seekers are linked to Chaos some way, acts as their lifeline. So if you're a Seeker and exiled, you don't have that much long to live. So the Council made Jest what they called a D.I.G (Drifter Information Gatherer). He gets to wander the universe without getting involved with anything, while reporting any information to Vanguards. His reward: He gets to keep his existence.

Jest used his long nail to pick his teeth before asking, "And who wants to know?"

Quaver popped out of my armor and sneered, "Blade leader of the Vanguard did you scum."

One more thing, apparently whatever Jest did put him on the bad side of all Seekers. That or getting exiled is bad enough for all Seekers to resent you.

Ignoring the bad vibes Quaver was giving off I said, "You're here to give us whatever information you can about how this all happened."

Jest floated in the air and came near us and replied, "Well how this happened I have no idea. But I can point you to someone who might know, or how to stop this."

I motioned for him to continue. He spoke in a lower voice. "Do you know Miserix?"

I heard a low whistle from Ty at the sound of the name and even Wolf's eyes widen at it. I didn't blame them because that person was someone you do not want to mess with.

"I've meet him a few times during my earlier years in the Vanguard, but never actually knew him. Isn't he some high rank Makuta or something?"

Jest chuckled. "He is the leader of the Makuta, or was. His second in command, Teridax now stands as leader of the Makuta. So now he and the Conqueror are now the most powerful beings in the Fade, second only to Chotuka. Miserix is imprisoned on this world not too far from here."

"What did he do to be punished?" Asked Wolf. Jest merely shrugged before replying, "No idea, it's been pretty restless in the Fade lately. All I can think of is that maybe he became a threat to the Dark Master or he planned some coup but was captured. Rest assured, he is no ally of the Conqueror or his former master, but I doubt he would be so friendly with you. He does seem however to respect Chaos's laws more then some of the others in the Fade."

I nodded. "Which way is his prison?"

Jest pointed west. "Its quite large for a prison so you should have no trouble spotting it. But be warned, there are more Skralls there guarding it." And with that he flew away to who knows where.

We continued moving west after that. A few minutes later though Ember asked, "Who is the Conqueror anyway?"

I remembered that she had been brought into the Vanguard only 2,000 years ago, so she probably didn't know as much. I let Wolf explained because he was the only Firstborn with us.

"The Conqueror, as the name implies, is the highest General and commands its army. I believe he might have been the one who led their forces into the Material Realm eons ago, but I was young back then so I can't remember."

Ember showed a confused look, "I thought that was the Makuta's job?"

Wolf shook his head. "The Makutas are responsible with the watching over the numerous species and daemons in the Fade so that they stay loyal to the Damned Gods. But sometimes they can act as sub-commanders too."

Ember nodded, taking it all in. "Does the Conqueror have an actually name? Has anyone ever seen him?" She asked.

Wolf then said, "To be honest, no. I don't think anyone's ever seen him, maybe the original Blade, the Damned, Chotuka and Miserix, but no, no one else has ever seen him."

We dropped the subject and continued walking towards our destination. After an hour or so we arrived and managed to get a good view of Miserix's prison. And let me tell you, it looked different from what I was expecting.

The outer part was a huge chunk of earth shaped like circle, being held in mid air by giant chains over what appeared to be a wide bottomless pit. The only way to get onto it was a bridge made of metal.

Inside the circle were eight black rocks sticking out. The tip of each one was bent and facing the middle. And in the middle was this tall obelisk with symbols on it.

Surrounding the thing was at least a hundred Visoraks, but no Skralls. The giant spiders were just moving around, doing nothing. Something didn't feel right.

"I'll go down there, Ty you come with me, the rest of you stay here and don't come unless it looks like it gets ugly." I said. The rest nodded as I walked down there, with the big man behind me.

When we reach it, the Visoraks blocked our path, but made no move at us. They were just making noise before stepped aside and made a path for us. I was confused but kept my guard up and continued walking. As we did, I noticed that on the ground between the Visorak's feet were what appeared to be parts of Skralls.

When we finally got over the bridge I noticed that there were levers on them. A thought forming into my head I made a gesture to Ty. He seemed to get the hint.

So we pulled down all the levers. As we did this shadow liquid began to pour out of them and towards the Obelisk. Soon it began to glow and a door opened, with a figure walking out.

He was tall, about the same size as a bus. He had red skin covered with Crimson armor with a little mix of grey. He had three giant toes on each foot and a tail that had armor on it too and had fire coming off it. Two giant red wings were attached to his back and were wide open, as if he was stretching them. His head was shaped like a mix between dragon and human, with two silver horns sticking out. His light green eyes stared at us with sick amusement.

"Blade." He growled. "It's been awhile. To what do I owe the honor?"

"Miserix, you seem well." I said as I glanced at the Visorak outside.

Noticing my gaze he replied. "Ah, you forget it was the Makuta who created the Visorak. And despite my "demotion", I can still command them to an extent. "Much to the misfortune of the Skrall."

Miserix chuckled at that before saying, "Now I know that you're not here just to say hi."

I rolled my eyes before saying. "I have some questions I want to ask you."

From hearing that Miserix had a cruel smile on his face. "And in return I want something from you. Though I'm sure you know what it is."

Sorry it took so long, I've been busy.
Make sure to review.
