Enjoy and review. And finally Fanfiction starts working again, was getting annoyed.

Third Person POV:

Claws stood on top of the Statue of Liberty, staring down New York City. He could sense the fear and worry in the residents of the city. He could also sense the calmness of the Gods in Olympus. The mere fact that the Olympians weren't suffering as the mortals were was disgusting to Claws. 'They know nothing of pain.' He thought to himself. 'Nothing of the coming storm, of the coming apocalypse, and when they do, it will be too late.'

"Master" Someone from behind said. Claws turned around to see another person in a cloak. He was hunched back and had lizard like skin, a dark green to match. His nails were short but sharp at the tip and had a hoarse voice. He seemed to wear only a chest plate and short blue pants.

"What is it Feral?" Claws asked as he walked towards the being called Feral. The person bowed as his master approached. "Teridax wishes to speak with you. Also Quakes has located what he believe is the location of the machine and awaits your orders."

"Excellent" Claws said. "Tell him to give me its location and I shall head there, you shall remain here to keep an eye on the Olympians."

"What about Hestia my lord?" Feral asked.

"Leave her, for now we know where she is and when the time is right, we will take her." Claws replied as he walked down the stairs. "Blade, you will feel the wrath of Apocalypse."

He stopped at a doorway when he revealed his left arm. On the left arm were ancient words, written in blood. He rubbed across them softly and they began to glow a dark red. Soon a portal opened but Claws did not go through it. Instead eyes within the portal looked at him, hissing and growling, demanding release almost. "Soon my brothers and sisters, soon you shall be free." Claws told them gently as the portal began to close.

Blades/Percy POV:

I did a tug on my gloves as I walked towards where the others were. Either they were stretching or checking their armor and weapons. I noticed that Lory wasn't among them. "Anyone seen Lory?"

Ember looked up, "Uh, last I saw her she was with Chad, your son." She said.

I nodded as I decided to walk over to his tent since I had something I wanted to give them. As I walked towards the area where Chad's tent, I ignored the looks I got from people. Even still people gave me the sort of look that all of this was my fault, that Earth was in this state because I made the Fade come here. But I dealt with it, I wasn't here to be admired or liked, I was here to do my job to Chaos and that was that.

I saw Crystal first and asked her to come with me as I went to her brother's tent. I finally spotted Chad, walking out of his tent just as he was pulling a shirt on. "Chad!" I yelled, trying to get him to notice me. When he did he seemed to be shocked and then worried, glancing at his tent quickly. "Everything ok?" Crystal asked.

Trying to regain his composure he replied, "Nothing, was there something you needed Dad?"

I smirked at being called Dad, "Well first off have you seen Lory anywhere? I was told she was last spotted with you."

He shook his head violently. "Uh, not since yesterday Dad. She-she must have gone exploring or something." He said

"Well that's something she would do." I said annoyed before pulling something out of my pocket. It was two necklaces, each one with a stone that was covered in markings. "Here this is for you." I said as I handed it to him and his sister.

Chad looked at it like it was the most priceless thing in the world. As he put it on his neck I said, "Give it a squeeze."

They did and a second after armor appeared to cover them. It was emerald color armor and it shine just like my sapphire armor. Chad and Crystal gasped as they looked at it. "Dad its…its beautiful." Crystal said as she flexed her arms in them.

"And powerful" I added as knocked on Chad's armor. "It's flexible with your body, increases all physical attributes, healing abilities, basically its like my armor except you're missing the dimensional transportation protection."

That caught Chad's attention. "Wait, you need your armor to help you in dimensional travel?"

I shrugged, "Not entirely, is just I'm not fully good at it yet to do it on my own. New Vanguards and young Firstborns need equipment to help navigate when doing it."

Chad nodded as he continued to stare at the armor. While he was doing that Crystal was looking at me oddly. "Hey Dad, just wondering, do you still have that necklace with the picture of us?"

I frowned, not knowing what she was talking about, what necklace? "What are you talking about? You never gave me a necklace."

This time it was their turn to frown. "We didn't, Mom did, when we were just babies she gave you a necklace of us three weeks after you saw us for the first time."

At the mentioned of Annabeth everything clicked into place. I had to control myself so I wouldn't show my anger, wasn't going to ruin the moment. "I left it behind at the Vanguard's fortress, for safe keeping." I lied, making a note to find Annabeth. "Now why don't you two run along, you guys are leaving in a few hours right?"

They looked at me suspiciously but nevertheless they went their ways. Once Crystal was out of earshot, I whispered to Chad. "As you go back inside the tent, can you tell Lory to hurry it up in there and get dress?"

Chad literally turned dark red in embarrassment as he dashed back inside the tent. With that little joke done (thanks to X-ray vision) I got serious as I went to find Annabeth. I got lucky and found her near Thalia's tent, talking to the said person. Without even a word to either of them, I grabbed Annabeth's arm and pulled her away from her friend, ignoring their protests.

When we were in a good secluded spot I spun around to face her. "Why did you lie to them? To Chad and Crystal? About me having seen them as babies?" I asked harshly.

Once she got the message, she didn't say a thing. Then she spoke. "I…I just didn't want them to think that their own father didn't love them. I knew that Mark wasn't being the perfect Dad, and I just…just wanted to give them so hope."

Annabeth glared at me. "I just wanted to make them think that their true father loved them. Is that so wrong for me to do?" She snarled almost.

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Not when it hurts the ones you care for." I replied. She didn't say anything, and I was no longer in the mood to listen. "Whatever I have to go, thanks for ruining this day." I said as I marched off. I think she yelled my name out but I ignored her. I still couldn't believe she would do such a thing, lying to them. I mean, it wasn't like I wasn't flattered, its just I didn't know if I should tell the kids that. It didn't really matter; once I was done here then I would be leaving.

I arrived to see the other Vanguards armed and ready. Lory was with them now though she fidgeted a little, probably heard what I said to Chad. "Gather around" I said as I prepared to explain the plan.

Once they were close I spoke. "Okay I'm going to Mount Olympus, to find some device left by the original Blade, and I think that's what Claw is after. Wolf will be in charge of a mission to track the Council of Makuta that is here on this planet. The plan is either to capture or kill them. Doing so will hopefully force the Fade to recall their forces from Earth and then we can do a proper investigation. Any questions?"

Samantha raised her hand. "Once we do chase them off world, what's going to happen to Earth?" She asked.

I shrugged, "My best guess is that the Olympians and mortals will work to rebuild their cities. Besides that, it really isn't our concern, our concern is getting the Fade off the planet and ending this conspiracy."

Wolf let out a low growl. "Let's get moving here people." He said as he tightened his wrist guards. I let out a whistle and Blackjack appeared.

Blackjack trotted up to me, "Hey boss, ready to head out?" He asked.

I smirked as I jumped on him and turned towards the others. "Good luck" I said as Blackjack did a dimensional jump towards Mount Washington. We got there quickly and I admit, it still looked the same I last saw it. But the feeling I was getting from it was entirely different. It gave a more ominous appearance, as if it welcomed me and didn't at the same time.

Then I saw movement up top, where I could sense a massive amount of energy coming out. They were drones, they looked like Hybrid Drones, Grunt Drones and Stalker Drones, the main infantry of the Fade's army.

I couldn't really comprehend what they were doing here because one of them spotted me, warned the others and fired at me. "Guess we're doing this the old fashioned way Blackjack." Then I pulled out my E Blaster and Blackjack charged. Any drone that I spotted from a distance I would blow it away with a shot from a gun, mostly shooting magma or fire bullets. Any that got to close would be slashed in two from Storm Terror that was surrounded with lightning.

They Hybrids got smart and began firing their spike rifles at me from some of the high cliffs. But they weren't that smart; I created an earthquake go underneath them, sucking a majority of them down below. Then using some magic I threw five swords at a dozen of Stalker drones, exploding on impact.

Blackjack knocked aside a drone while I stabbed another, then he kicked one from behind and I froze three more. "Blackjack, get to the air and start flapping your wings!"

"Got it boss!" He said as he took to the air and began moving those wings of his. I used that as a power source and created a powerful gust of wind that sliced and blew away the drones. We only stopped when there were no more left standing.

But something caught my eye from the corner as Blackjack landed. It was Claws, wearing a cloak but his hood was down. His hair had grown that it touched his neck, and his orange eyes looked darker then before. A scary thought had occurred when I noticed he remind me of Luke with that scar over his right eye.

"Blackjack, head back, I got this." I said to the pegasus as I jumped off of him and landed on the ground. He looked unsure for a moment, but agreed and flew off, disappearing back into the Void. Claw revealed one of his arms, wearing his silver gauntlet.

"Blades" he said.

"Claws" I said back.

"I suppose you are wondering what I am trying to do here on this planet?" Claws asked as he started walking side to side.

"I would have to guess you want to release the Primordial Nameless from the Sun." I said as I brought out my dual wrist swords. Claws laughed at that, as if I was saying something stupid.

"Actually I was more like planning to use them as fodder to destroy all of creation, a way of getting back at that half of Chaos." He replied.

"Half of Chaos?" I asked when I was suddenly struck by some blast of energy, colliding with some rocks.

As I got up I saw Claw's right gauntlet burning, smoke rising from it. "I don't think I have to tell you what I learned from those books I took all those years ago. My eyes have become opened to so many things that it is necessary for me to act on them and-"

His sentence was cut off when I struck him with a fireball that knocked him a few feet away. "You know what?" I said as I got into a battle pose. "I don't really give a damn." And then I charged, going in super speed. Claw had already recovered and raised his weapons to counter my blades.

I managed to get an advantage over him and cut his cheek, making him flinch. Then I kicked him back and did another swing, cutting his left arm. He snarled in anger but merely struck back, punching me hard in the chest. I gasped in pain as he grabbed my shoulders and slammed me into the ground and delivered a hard punch into my chest again. He was going to do it a second time but I turned my body into water slithered back. I reformed and did another kick in his chest, sending lightning into it, shocking him as the kick knocked him twenty feet back.

He managed to stop himself and then lifted a giant boulder and hurled it at me. I retracted my dual blades and pulled out Storm Terror. With one swipe I sliced the boulder in two. Then I swung the blade again, firing ten ice spears at Claws. Five struck him, injuring him a little, but the other five he swatted to the side.

He clenched his hands into fists and dark energy began to cackle from them. Suddenly there were two giant black hands above him, moving along with his own. "The Apocalypse shall not be stopped, HE will raze all to nothingness!" And then swung the left giant fist at me.

Acting quickly I pulled out my Void Cannon. A look alike to my E Blaster, but acted like a machine gun, its bullets absorbing things from rocks to energy. I fired at the incoming fist, the bullets hitting and making it shrink as they sucked in more and more of its energy. Soon the fist ceased to exist, forcing Claws to throw the other one. I put away my Void Cannon and then concentrated on focusing heavy gravity around my right fist.

Our fists clashed, resulting in a loud explosion. I was sent flying backwards, slamming into the ground. Where did Claws get all that power? From those books he stole or from someone, somewhere else? But before I could even move I yelled in pain. Claws had come up to me and stabbed his gauntlets into my armor, deeply. I coughed out some blood due to it.

"The time of the Vanguards is over Blade, the time of the Destroyers is now." He said as he raised his gauntlet, readying it to deliver the final blow.

But before he could he even do it, the ground started to glow, a warm glow more like. Suddenly there was a bright flash above me and everything went dark.

"Blade? Percy?" An unfamiliar, yet at the same time familiar said. "Hey wake up Blade, we got to talk."

I opened my eyes to find myself in a room. A dome to be exact covered in odd paintings and a dark blue wall. In the center there was some kind of…crate I think. But what caught my attention was that there was a man sitting on top of it. He had black hair that went down to the top of his back, piercing white eyes with black sockets and pale skin. He wore blue armor and appeared to be in his early thirties. I recognized him from the books and pictures I was shown back at the fortress city.

"You're…" I murmured as I got up, still unable to believe it was him.

The man smiled. "Yep, I am the original Blade."

Claws POV:

Where did he go? Where did he go? WHERE DID HE GO? The question kept ringing in my head as I looked for Blade. That glow had somehow transported me off of the mountain, down onto the abandon street of some nearby city.

I was furious; something or someone denied me of my kill, but now it did not matter. I knew that since I started to get involved in this personally I had to move my plans. Pulling out a communicator I contacted Teridax. "Makuta Teridax, respond." I said

The image of the Makuta appeared as he did a bow. "What is your command my liege?" He asked.

"The time to begin the final operations of our plans has come." I said. "Commence with the invasion of New York City, and only the island of Manhattan."

Teridax bowed. "Yes my Master, but what of the Vanguards?"

I smirked. "Leave them to me. I know a group of people in my Destroyers who can deal with them."

I'm going to use the drones more often so here's a description of them below.

Hybrid Drones: Six red eyes, 5 inches taller then the average human size, pale skin T-Rex head, sharp teeth, animal like instinct, ranged automatic spike rifle, high agility, black armor, and two spikes on back.

Grunt Drones: 6.5 feet tall, insect like head, mostly robotic, ranged laser rifle, two robotic eyes, slow walking, good defensive armor, red skin and grey armor.

Stalker Drones: Melee type, 6 feet tall, two tentacles in back, four orange eyes, four claws, blue skin, grey armor, and daemonic lion like head.
