Thank you soooo much guys for the reviews, favorites, and follows! Made my sucky week better! Enjoy and please review!

(You should all know by now I do not own PJO)

Percy (Genesis) POV

As I make my way to the amphitheater, memories flood over me. I shut my eyes briefly, willing the tears to stay in. I can feel Mark's concerned gaze from behind me, but I ignore it. Once in the amphitheater, the seven commanders and I stay standing in the middle, while the rest of the army, more than seven thousand soldiers, go sit. There aren't enough seats for the campers and the soldiers at the same time, so Zeus, who had flashed in (too lazy to walk a few hundred meters), flicked his hand and expanded the amphitheater, so that there were more seats. When everyone was settled, the gods join us in the center.

"Now, who are you?" my dear uncle sounds impatient. I smile inwardly. Nothing has changed… Then, realizing everyone is looking at me, I hastily start the introductions.

"As I have told you already, we are part of the army of Chaos. The army is split into 17 battalions, each under the command of a member of the Elemental Council. Each battalion has about a thousand trained soldiers, except for mine, which only has 500 elite warriors. Sitting here in front of you are 8 of those battalions. They can introduce themselves." With those words, I step back and let Mark step up.

"I am Flame, Guardian of fire and flames, commander of the Spark battalion. I am second in command of the army…so don't mess with me." He says all this while grinning, which totally erases the serious, powerful image. He steps back, and I see a few Aphrodite girls trying to burn through his hood to look at his face. I chuckle slightly at that. No chance, girls. His heart is already taken. As soon as Mark steps back, Alex steps up.

"Good morning. I'm Quicksand, Guardian of earth, commander of the Earth battalion. (I know, real original name.) I'm one of the four Guardians, if you hadn't figured that our already." He says in a warm voice, and then steps back to let Jyma introduce herself.

"Hello, I'm Breeze, Guardian of Air, commander of the Tornado battalion." Then, it's Sheyla's turn.

"I'm Tempest, Guardian of water. Oh, and I'm also the commander of the Wave battalion. Nice to meet you all!"

When Xavier steps up, I hear a few snickers from the assembled campers. Eric is one of them, and so is Annabeth. But before either of them can say anything, Xavier starts talking.

"I'm Joker, commander of fun and games, and of the Game battalion. Don't make fun of my appearance, or my soldiers', 'cause I'm much older than you. But anyhow, nice to meetya!" He grins, and the girls let out a small "Aww!" at his cute face, that they can see because he wears no hood. Then there are a few grunts of surprise. Shadow just appeared out of nowhere, like he always does.

"I am Shadow, commander of the Dark battalion and commander of shadows and darkness." And he disappears into the shadows once more. He's quickly replaced by his opposite, Beam.

"I'm Beam, commander of the Light battalion and commander of light. Nice to meet you" Finally, it's my turn. I step up again.

"I am Genesis, first in command of Chaos's Army, second in command of the universe, Guardian of Creation, all elements, and anything else you can think of, commander of the Omega battalion, and son of Chaos." At the last few words, there's a collective gasp. Like, a huge one, since even Chaos's soldiers gasped. I hear Mark's voice.

"Since when are you his son?"

Artemis POV

"… and son of Chaos." I gasp, along with everyone else. Son of Chaos? Is this boy really that powerful? One of his companions, Flame, I believe, pipes up.

"Since when are you his son?" Hmm… so even they didn't know… or is this boy lying? Said person turns and speaks loud enough for everyone to hear him above the whispers.

"Before I left on this mission, Chaos asked me if I wanted to be his adopted son, heir to the universe. So… I said yes." Silence. Everyone is shock-still. Well, except for one ignorant boy.

"Ha! You, heir to the universe? Let me laugh! I should be heir to the universe, not you! I'm obviously much better than you! And you look pretty pathetic to me. I bet I could beat you in a matter of seconds!" Of course. This boy has the same ego and attitude as his father, except worse. I'm ashamed he is my half-brother. I scowl, and so does everyone else, except for his little gang of brutes and that treacherous Athena spawn. Genesis only laughs.

"Yes, you're right. A battle between you and me would last a couple of seconds… only, I would be the one to defeat you." He sounds calm, as if Eric's insults didn't affect him at all. On the other hand, my half-brother's face turns tomato-red, and he unsheathes his sword.

"We'll see about that!" He smirks confidently. Genesis laughs again.

"Did you not learn your lesson ten minutes ago? If I remember well, you were beaten quite easily. I would say Fos didn't even try. So I don't think you're good enough to even challenge me." He doesn't say it in a superior tone, just in a flat voice that suggests he is only saying the facts as they are. And he is; we all saw only a fraction of his power earlier, during our confrontation. But Eric doesn't seem to get it; stupid male. Growling, he stalks over to Genesis, sword raised.

"Stop talking and fight me! Or are you too scared?" With those words, he lunges at Genesis, slashing at his stomach… or at least, where it would have been. One moment he was there, the next he wasn't. He had moved so fast, only a blur to our eyes. As Eric stared at him, he cocked his head, still unarmed, and spoke.

"Nighty night, son of Zeus." And he punches Eric in the nose before the demigod can even react to his words. Immediately knocked out, he topples over backwards and nobody moves to catch him, even Annabeth, who's too shocked to move. I look back at Genesis. He shakes his hand a little and starts talking to Flame as if nothing happened. The campers, realizing that the meeting is over, all go back to their activities, although they all shoot the soldiers a nervous glance before doing so.

We, the gods, stay where we are, awkwardly staring at Genesis and his soldiers. Finally, they notice our stares.

"What?" A commander, Breeze, asks. Athena instantly replies.

"Where will you be staying?" Genesis turns around to face her.

"Do not worry; we will take care of it. Now, if you'll excuse me…" He gestures at his friends, and they sprout… wings? from their backs. Wings? Genesis's wings are the biggest and they look amazing. A mix of black, gold, silver, and sea-green. The other's wings are all smaller. Flame's wings are a fiery red; Quicksand's wings are a sandy brown, Breeze's are translucent, Tempest has dark blue ones, Shadow has simple dark grey ones, Beam has glowing white-and-yellow ones, and Joker, the little kid, has white wings with multicolor gleams, and they were adapted to his size. As one, they fly off, probably scouting the area. I hear startled yells from the campers.

The gods split up, either flashing away or staying to supervise their kids. Since my hunters are out hunting and I don't have any kids, I decide to take a walk. I walk past the canoe lake, the mess hall, and the cabins, finally arriving at the edge of the forest. I think back to 5 years ago, when I ran through this place with Aphrodite, Hermes, and my twin. I feel a pang of sadness at the thought. That was the day Perseus disappeared… Perseus, the only decent man to have ever lived… and not bad looking, either…wait. What am I thinking? Scared of what I am thinking, I quickly start running in the woods, towards the beach. As I sit and stare at the sea, I hear a rustling sound from… above me? I look up and give a start. Staring at me from a branch is Genesis, with his…..hink back to 5 years ago, ... ggggggggggggggggggggggg finally arriving iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii wings expanded. He smiles kindly at me. I glare instinctively. Who knew how long this boy had been here? Despite my glare, he continues smiling, somehow retracts his wings, and jumps from the branch, landing right in front of me. We are only separated by less than a meter. Since when do I notice things like this? I'm so absorbed by my thoughts I don't realize he just said something.

"Um…lady Artemis? Hello? Anyone there?" I blink at him.

"Sorry, could you repeat that?" At my words, he grins, and although I can't see his eyes, I can tell they are full of amusement.

"I said, what brings you here, my lady?" I shrug.

"Oh, I was just taking a walk and I ended up here."

"A walk? Looked more of a run to me, my lady. You looked quite in a hurry, too." He teases, making me glare at him again, although it feels nice, talking to someone in a friendly way. Although I only just met him, and he also happens to be Prince of the Universe, I feel comfortable around him, as if I've known him for a pretty long time. I feel this certain pull to him I've only felt with…Perseus. A slight pressure on my right arm snaps me out of my thoughts. Startled, I look down. A hand is wrapped around the base of my shoulder, the thumb lightly rotating on my skin. I shiver at the contact of skin against skin. I stare at the hand's owner. He seems as shocked as I am. Realizing what he's doing, he quickly lets go, and I find myself missing the warmth of his hand. He blushes, or I think he does.

"Uh-uh- I, um…" he utters, scratching the back of his neck. I find myself blushing too, but I quickly regain my composure.

"What exactly do you think you're doing, boy?" He looks down, looking uncomfortable. He shifts from foot to foot; reminding me of a child caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar. I try hard not to smile. It's strange, looking at the heir to the universe embarrassed. After a long moment of hesitation, he answers.

"Um… sorry. Didn't mean to…sorry. Please don't turn me into a jackelope!" Finally, I can't take it. I laugh. He stares. And gives me a nervous smile.

"So…you're not going to turn me into a jackelope?" I laugh even more. Then, suddenly curious, I reach up… and pull his hood.
