Hello, sorry about the wait, school's been a bitch. Okay so lets see how Blade's group is doing. Read and Review.

Blade POV:

The Skrall screeched in agony as I slammed it on the ground and with my own hands pulled out its lungs. Another tried to attack me from behind, but I activated my shield and stopped his attack, than killed him with a fireball through the chest.

We had just landed inside the Sea of Monsters; at least I think we did. To be honest, this place changed and I don't think it was time that did it. From what I can tell a massive metal wall surrounded the entire Bermuda Triangle with sentries guarding them endlessly. Above us were flying beast and warriors, patrolling the skies. And there were ports everywhere, with submarines going down into the water, doing what I don't know nor did I have the time to find out.

My team had managed to arrive almost unnoticed, until we ran into a Skrall patrol. Fortunately the alarm here isn't very good since no reinforcements came, leaving us to take out these guys quickly.

"Take this you shit ass punks!" Cried Fist as he delivered a killing punch to a Skrall with his brass knuckles, than fired to energy blasts from them at two more Skralls, killing them. Than he ran towards three more delivering a powerful shockwave punch on the ground, sending the three Skralls flying over the cliff.

Ember was nearby Wolf, who was scorching anyone who got to close. I had her remain by Wolf so she could inform me quickly if anything new with the infection happened. So far Wolf has shown no sign of corruption yet.

I pulled my blade out of the last Skrall. I quickly put away and motioned the others to get moving, knowing one of their patrols would see the bodies. We began walking down a small edge next to the mountain when Fist whispered/yelled. "Incoming patrol."

Sure enough at least a dozen flyers were near the battlefield. We had to find a hiding spot fast or we would have a serious fight on our hands. Than I saw something further down near the beach, a cave.

"Quickly follow me." I said as I already began heading down, with the others soon following. I ushered them into the cave while I kept an eye on those patrols in the sky before I went in the cave too.

I created a ball of light floating over my right hand so we could see where we were. As expected the inside of the cave was dank and wet with puddles here and there. I noticed on the cave's walls were signs of a fight, claw marks, small craters that weren't made naturally and scorch marks.

"Hey look at this." Ember said, picking up something from the ground. She tossed it to me while I had Quaver hold the light in the air so I could look at the object. It was a Greek helmet, but it felt dimly warm and I noticed it was gold.

It took me a few seconds to piece it all together. "This…this is Hyperion's helmet." I said, shocked of finding it here.

"Who?" Fist asked, having know idea who I was talking about. I sighed and explained that he was the Titan of Light and was trapped inside a tree. But my guess was that he was freed somehow.

"Well than what's it doing here of all places, and where's its owner?" Asked Ember, while using a small fire to help her see the inside of the cave for anything else.

"Only one way to find out." I replied as I gripped the helmet with both hands. Using my powers I concentrated on any remaining essence of the Titan in his helmet to see what had happened.

And in just a few seconds later I was startled by the sounds of battle. I soon focused and was now seeing what the Titan saw 100 years ago. I guessed a lot changed over the past 10,000 years. From the looks of it most of the Titans were freed and had made a base on some parts of the Bermuda Triangle.

"My Lord!" Someone cried. I, or Hyperion, turned his head towards that direction. A dracanae was slithering towards him with a panic look on her face. "The invaders have broken through our defense. They have killed Charybdis and Scylla and are already slaughtering the outer defenders."

Hyperion raised his eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean dead? Did they not turn to dust when slain?"

The snake woman shook her head violently. "No my lord, they were merely shot at and slashed at and soon fell to the ground, blood pouring out of their bodies. My lord what should we do?" She shrieked.

"Be silent!" The Titan roared as he looked at the situation. Through his eyes I could tell the battle wasn't going so well. The Fade's forces were overwhelming the Titan's army, using their more powerful and advance powers to slaughter the monsters. Giants were being grind to dust by war machines and larger creatures. The Fade's air forces were surrounding the whole entire Triangle, coming down only to attack a defender.

Suddenly a blast came nearby Hyperion, killing the dracanae and nearly knocking Hyperion off his feet. But he regained balanced and fired fireballs at the area where the attack came from. I wasn't sure if he actually hit the target, but he definitely got a reaction. More and more beams started raining down on the Titan, who was moving desperately to avoid them, his battle instincts telling him so.

Eventually he lost his balance and fell into the water. When he came back to the surface, he was still glowing though it was dim. By the looks of it, his left arm appeared broken and most of his armor was gone. He must have realized this because than Hyperion began looking for shelter. A cave, the same one that we were in right now, soon came into his view and began walking towards it.

A few minutes later Hyperion was sitting down inside the cave, muttering to himself, "How could this have happened? After so many years preparing we could have finally attack Olympus."

"A shame that will never happen." Replied a much more sinister voice that sound eerie familiar. Hyperion grabbed his sword and stood towards the source of the voice. Standing at the entrance was a huge being who had a large amount of power. His skin was black and orange but was covered by silver armor. His face was a cross between that of a human and mini raptor. He had silver horns on his head and completely red eyes. Both of his hands only had three fingers including a thumb and in his right one was a staff with a launcher or something. On his face was smug look.

"Well look at what I found rotting in the mud." He said as he stared at Hyperion. I could feel the Titan's rage boiling as he stood up, his sword in his hand.

"Do you not know who you are facing? I am a Titan!" He shouted, the light returning at max. But the being was just looking at his nails, bored out of his mind.

"I care why?" Was all he asked, which prompted Hyperion to attack, his sword raised. His target merely stared at him when his eyes started to glow. Than he fired a beam and everything went black.

I was back in the present, Hyperion's helmet still in my hand. The others were staring at me, still in their same position.

"So did you learn anything in the last 0.23 seconds boss?" Fist asked jokingly. I rolled my eyes, seeing how he was using the fact that time zones are different when I do this as a joke.

"Well it seems that during the past 10,000 years the Titans managed to free some of their brothers and sisters and were gathering an army here. But than the Fade came and took them down, and they were led by the Shadowed One."

Everyone stiffened at the name and with good reason too. Little is known about him, and only a few really know his true name. Though he's not a Makuta, he is in charge (and claims that he founded it) an Organization called the Dark Hunters. The members are daemons who are selected and either mutated, given new equipment or power, or are created by Chotuka himself and become elite operatives for the Fade's legions. Their counterparts in the Veil were the Toa.

"Guess we'll have Dark Hunters to deal with here huh?" Wolf exclaimed looking at his claws. "Makes sense since we're going after something important."

I nodded and tossed Hyperion's helmet aside. "We dealt with Dark Hunters before, just focus on the task at hand and maybe we can find some answers."

All of a sudden my gauntlet started to shake and Quaver finally popped out. I noticed that he had a piece of paper in his hand.

"Quaver is something wrong, what happened?" I asked, wondering what made the Seeker come out all of a sudden. Quaver got his bearings together and turned to face me. "Just got orders from the Council. Apparently Intel has discovered that a Vanguard is being held here is suspended animation. Orders are to find him and get him out of there." The seeker than handed me the paper. "This is what he looks like so that it will be easier to identify him." And with that he returned to my gauntlet.

I took a look at the paper and my eyes widen in shock, he was a Vanguard? But I quickly shook it off and turned to the others. "Okay we need to keep going and be ready, we don't know what will happen."

A few hours later we arrived at the place that the shadow leeches were being held. To my surprise it was Circe's island. It was altered a little, but I didn't know if that was due to time or the Fade.

There were several moving bridges connected to the mountain part of the area, and on them were monsters, dozens of them, being brought there in chains. On the shore there was a cave entrance into the mountain, which I bet would take me to the target. But there guards, not many but they were Dark Hunters, six of them to be precise.

I kept scanning the area, looking for away in and hopefully pass those guards, than I spotted a pathway towards the shore only a half a mile away. It wouldn't get us pass them, but it would let us get the jump on them.

I gathered the rest of the team and told them the plan. I would move through the water towards the Dark Hunters and do an attack that would temporarily stun them, leaving my team the time to attack.

Once they started making their way towards the pathway I touched the water. Using my powers I turned my body into water and soon became one with the ocean as I dived down. When I finally got to the shore I stayed there, waiting for the others to get into position. While I was waiting I managed to hear what the Dark Hunters were saying.

The big one, and I mean really big one, was moving his equally big claw through the sand lazily and look bored as hell. "Ahh Damn it, how much longer do we have to be here, we should be out there, fighting those humans and Olympians!" He shouted in aggravation as he slammed his fist against a rock, shattering it upon impact.

"Oh quit your complaining Gladiator, its not like anything new will happen if you keep yelling." Another one said to his giant friend name Gladiator. This one was somewhat close to human size and was entirely red. He looked like he dipped into something nasty and was just luck to make it out of it alive. In one had he was carrying a grey metal shield and in the other was a staff where I could see some sparks pop out now and then.

Approaching the two was another Dark Hunter, same size as the second one except his head was hunched over. He had two horns sticking out of his mouth and wore grey armor over his red skin. He even had a spike for the tip of his tail. Attached to his arm was a cannon.

"Firedracax, Gladiator what the hell are you two complaining about?" The way he asked it almost sounded like he was in charge of this lot. But watching how the others barely glanced at him, it was a good guess he did that a lot just for show.

"Tyrant why don't you just shove it. You know none of us listen that much anyway." Laughed the one called Firedracax as he looked at Tyrant, who just grunted in response and stomped off. Three other ones were watching the scene, remaining quiet as they watched. One was black and grey with a giant claw and a cannon. The one beside him was wearing a lot of weird silver looking armor but just made him look more ugly. The last one looked like a cross between an alligator and a bird, along with a tail of a cobra.

My attention shifted to something above them: My team, they were in position. With one strong heave, I flew into the air, with a large tidal wave following and soon crashed on top of the Dark Hunters.

I landed right in front of the first three drawing my sword. When they recover, the one named Tyrant eyes widen when he recognized me. "You!"

As soon as he said that he heard yelps behind him. Fist, Ember and Wolf got the jump on them. They gave them minor scratches before being forced off.

"Kill them!" Tyrant yelled as he armed his cannon and took aim. But I charged him and gave him a good solid punch, sending him smashing into the rocks.

"I'm going in! Think, you can hold them back?" I shouted. Fist ducked from a tail coming at him and returned with a punch, knocking his opponent back.

"Yeah I think we can manage!" He replied. I nodded and made a dash for the cave, dodging attacks that came at me.

An hour later I found myself inside a chamber, circle shaped to be precise. And in the center was a pit and when I looked to see what was in it, I gasped in shock. Inside was this lake of ooze. Its color was a mix of black and dark green and just looking at it would want to make anyone vomit. For a brief moment I thought that the ooze was…whispering. Than I noticed that something was swimming in it.

"Shadow Leeches." I mumbled to myself as I watched the slithering worms move through the ooze as if it was a spa. I could literally feel the insanity and darkness they were giving off as they absorbed the ooze's contents.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Some dark voice hissed. I looked up and saw two beings fly towards me. They were both nearly identical, except for their armor's color. The one who spoke, his armor was black and silver while his look alike was black, silver and green. The first one carried two-energy blades and the other wielded different looking blade and a spear. Attached to their chest were pods, probably holding leeches like Spiriah's did.

"Makuta" I said as they finally landed. The black one smiled, as if he found it amusing that I wasn't showing any fear.

"That is correct. And you must be Blade, an honor." He said with mock tone. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Chirox, and this hear is Mutran." Indicating to his green armored friend. "Now the real question is: Why is the Leader of Chaos's Vanguards doing here of all places?"

I smirked and pulled out Storm Terror. "I could ask you the same thing." Chirox smirked at my comment.

Mutran decided to put his two senses in. "We know about your dealing with Miserix…as well of your friend Wolf's condition."

I did my best to hide my surprise of them knowing Wolf been poisoned. Chirox laughed. "Do not be surprise Blade, the ooze as well as the leeches are made from the Makuta's very own substance. We can sense all those who have been infected by the Shadow Leeches, which would explain why you are here: Planning to use the very same substance as a cure."

I gripped Storm Terror with both hands. "That's right, so now get out of the way and maybe I won't kill you."

Both of them laugh at this, causing me to get a little bit pissed off. Mutran was the first to stop and stared straight at me. "I have a better idea." And than his red eye's started to glow but nothing happened.

Wolf POV:

I was standing on top of the black one with the claw and cannon, who they called Savage, and was going to deliver the final blow when I felt pain. I growled in response and fell off my prey as I placed my hand on its source: My shoulder. Was it the bite mark from the leeches that was doing this? Why now?

My thoughts were interrupted when Savage back handed me and sent me skidding across the ground. I tried to get up but the pain was too much to bear. I think someone was shouting my name but I couldn't tell as Savage started coming towards me raising his arms and brought them down on me.

Duh duh!

Anyway I'm starting on the part 2 right now. I've also started on the chapter where Chad and his group go looking for Forge.
