Hey guys sorry for the long wait, but here's the next update! Of course, I have a new friend to thank for a character: Kawkawrawr, thanks so much! Ok, here we go!

"We gotta go!" The five quickly ran towards the Big House, stumbling as the earth quaked beneath their feet. Even when they were far away, they could easily see the commotion- cyclopes and Karpos attacking the campers and witches firing spells at the house. Neil clocked a witch upside the head and glared at the others, who were watching in astonishment as the witch fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Well? You gonna fight or what?" The four snapped out of their stupor and joined other campers, weapons raised and war faces on. Arra was firing shots left and right, screaming when a monster came too close- which, in turn, made the monster's head explode. She dropped a grass Karpos as another camper stumbled into her, his spear stuck halfway into a frozen and disintegrating cyclops.

"Sorry bout that," he offered lightly as he pulled the spear out of the cyclops and raised it again, sunlight beaming harshly off the ice that the spear seemed to be made out of. His arms were scrawny and pale and his hair made him look older, spiked salt-and-pepper locks, but his face was that of a jokester. "Name's Jack, I'm sure it's a pleasure." Arra groaned and kicked away a Karpos that had been trying to crawl up her leg.

"You disgust me," she told him, stabbing the Karpos with an arrow. He laughed and met her green eyes with his own icy blue ones. "Let me guess, Ares kid?"

"Nah," he said with a grin, "Boreas, a wind guy." She snorted and pushed him out of a broad sword's swing, shooting the cyclops who was wielding it in it's eye.

"I know who he is," she scoffed. "You just act like a couple Ares kids I know." He shrugged and pointed his hand at an approaching Karpos, winds surging forward and freezing it in place.

"Well, if we live through this, totally hit me up," he said, winking. She pretended to gag and fired several shots into a cyclops, which didn't slow down. Jack then ran it through, turning it to ice instantly and blew her a kiss dramatically as he jogged off. Arra rolled her eyes and collected her arrows as more Karpos swarmed her.

Rose and Cam were only feet away, back to back, with a circle of witches closed in on them.

"We don't want to hurt you!" Rose promised as she put her hands out in front of her, whip lose in her grip.

"I do," Cam muttered, slashing the nearest witch with her dagger. Rose elbowed her in the back and ducked to the side as a witch lobbed a blazing green fireball at the pair. Rose flicked her whip at the girl, stunning her while the whip crackled with energy.

"Please," Rose begged, "surrender and we won't hurt you!" Another fireball to her left and Rose shook her head. "Fine, you asked for it." She started calling out stupid orders to the witches, making them do things like Macarena and pretend to be a dog. "Gotta love chaos-speak," she told Cam with a grin. Cam laughed and they turned towards the rest of the fight.

Neil was across the house, punching monsters all around him, destroying them on contact. As soon as he was about to be over come by Karpos Jeska slashed through them, blood staining her cheek from a new cut.

"Need a medic?" he asked as he punched over her shoulder, fist sailing though corn as the Karpos laughed. She shook her head and spun around, sword cutting the corn demon in half.

"Need me to get reinforcements?" she called as thy were cornered by a massive cyclops. He shook his head and raised his fists.

"We've got this," he presumed. Jeska laughed, but it was cut short- a witch right behind them had fired at the girl. The witch then smiled and fired a new spell at Neil, knocking him to the ground as his world went black.
