Preparing for War
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson, nor Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does.
Percy's POV
As soon as Chaos announced that there was going to be another war, all the Olympians started shouting at each other. I just sighed and put my sword back onto my back.
'Great, another flipping war. Who is it this time, Tartarus?' I mind messaged Nich and Leonid who also put their weapons away and just crossed their arms and waited for everything to calm down.
I turned around and noticed that Torrent and Breeze were looking bored. As the arguing continued I started to lose patience and I pulled my sword out and slammed it into the ground and caused a small earthquake.
"SILENCE!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs and suddenly the room went quiet as everyone stared at me "Thank you! Good Gods!" I exclaimed
Chaos and Order looked at me as I pulled my sword out of the ground and re-sheathed it.
"Thank you, Blue Leader," Order said and I just nod "Now, as my brother was saying before he was so rudely interrupted. There is going to be a war coming up. It is against our sisters Destruction and Oblivion, they have been subtly attacking Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter for the past seventeen years now, but they have started to attack more often." Order finished before Chaos cleared his throat
Chaos looked at Nich, Leonid and I and I groaned internally.
"Blue, Red, and Gold Leaders. I was wondering if you would be willing to assi..." Chaos started saying before I shook my head cutting him off.
"I am sorry Lord Chaos but I believe I speak for other leaders here that we don't want to engage in another war. I for one have had enough of wars to last me a lifetime." I say and I notice Nich and Leonid nod their heads as well as the unit leaders
"I understand Blue Leader but just know that without your help, we will more than likely lose the war." Order said as he sat forward in his throne
'Perce, I know you're sick of being in wars. I don't like it but I don't see any other way to get out of this... If what they say is true, then we will need to put camp into full Alert...' Nich Mind Messaged me and I let out an internal sigh
'He's right Percy, either way we will be brought into the war. But I believe we can stay hidden until were needed. Remember we have people in both camps now and we can get information on where we need to send our resources and man power.' Leonid mind messaged
'Alright, were going to work from the shadows. When we get back to camp were putting it in full alert and have the units train harder' I mind messaged the other two and they gave me a slight nod
"We understand Lord Order, I will discuss with my associates to find our course of action." I said and Chaos and Order nodded but a small smile was playing on their lips
"Very well. That is all we needed to discuss for now, please let us know on what you decide as it could mean the difference between victory and defeat" Order said as Jupiter stood up and glared at me
"It should be an Honor to defend Olympus!!!" He thundered as he summoned his Master bolt only to be blasted back into his throne by Chaos and Order
"You Idiot! You will just Drive them away if you attack them!" Order snarled and I chuckled a little
Jupiter was in his throne unconscious, I just sighed and turned to Nich and Leonid.
"Let's go, this meeting is obviously over." I turn to Neptune "Lord Neptune, you and the other Olympians stay at Olympus, we will get the seven as well as the Praetors back to their respective camps. Notify us if there are any issues." Neptune nods and I step closer to Nich who puts his hands on our shoulders
The unit leaders walk up and put their hands on the three of us as I notice shadows gathering around us. Suddenly the world goes black for a moment before we reappear at Camp Unity.
I turn to Breeze and Torrent "Go back to your scheduled activities, we will put camp into full alert" I say and they both nod before rushing out along with Fissure, Flare, Ray, and Shade
Nich puts his hands on my shoulder as well as Leonid's and shadow travels us to the camp command center. When we arrive everyone, who is currently in the room stands up and salutes.
"Good afternoon, Commanders" A camper from unit seven says and I salute back
"Good afternoon, Nova." I respond "At ease everyone" Everyone sits back down and goes back to work as Nich Leonid and I walk over to a control panel
We sit down and everyone looks at us for a moment as we pull the keyboards to us and we each pull up a screen that requires an access code. I type in 'Dam Blue Cookie' into the text box and I look at Nich and Leonid. They nod at me and we press the enter key in sync. 'Time for war' I thought to myself
Third Person POV
As soon as the commanders pressed 'Enter', alarms went off all around the camp signifying that all campers were to prepare for war. Red Leader, Blue Leader, and Gold Leader sent out information about the war to the Unit Leaders before walking outside. When the commanders stepped outside the campers from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter ran up to them.
"What's going on!" Annabeth shouted as she ran up to Red Leader
"We are preparing for war. We will be sending you all back to your respective camps. Remember do NOT disclose what you know about Camp Unity to anyone." Red Leader stated as the camp turned into an organized chaos. "We already have a flight for you all. Please, follow us to the airstrip" Red Leader finished before the commanders started walking towards the airstrip with the campers following
"The gods will inform you about what we're facing I assure you also, do not tell anyone that we are preparing for war. Not even the gods." Blue Leader said sternly as they reach the airstrip where a C-130 is waiting
The campers nod as they climb onto the plane but Annabeth turns around and looks at the commanders "Stay safe you three, we don't want to lose you again"
"Don't worry Wise Girl, we don't plan on dying any time soon" Blue Leader said and Annabeth smiled, turned around and walked into the plane where she sat down
The ramp of the plane went up and the plane took off and started flying toward Camp Jupiter. Blue Leader turned to the other commanders.
"Let's get training, we don't want to be out shown, do we?" Blue leader said and Red and Gold Leader laughed before the trio raced toward the camp
Line Break
The commanders arrived in the center of camp to see units Four, Five, and Six doing push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups respectively. A girl was struggling to keep up with her unit while doing push-ups. The girl had brown hair and her necklace was sliver with both hands pointing at the twelve position. The unit leader walked over to the girl and looked at her disapprovingly.
"Pick up the pace Frost!! Stop slacking!!!" The unit leader yelled at the girl
"I-I'm trying sir..." Frost said before the unit leader put his foot on her back and pushed her to the ground
"Try hard..." The unit leader started saying before Red Leader walked over and picked the camper up as Blue and Gold leader helped Frost up "Uh... um... Good afternoon Tremor..."
"That is Commander to you Venom! What do you think you're doing to Frost? Trying to make her Quit the camp? I get that we are preparing for war but do NOT and I repeat do NOT let me or anyone else catch you doing that again or there will be consequences!" Red Leader snarled before shoving Venom away
"Understood commander, sorry sir!" Venom said and Red Leader nodded
"I get you are trying to prepare your unit but she is new, go easy on her until she gets a grip on things" Red Leader said and Venom nodded
"Yes Sir!" Venom said before returning to his unit and starts doing push-ups as Red Leader walks over to the side where Frost is sitting down while Blue and Gold Leader console her
Red Leader kneels in front of Frost and looks at her.
"Are you okay Frost?" Red Leader asks
Frost shakes her head "N-no sir... I'm not fine... I-I don't think I'm cut out for this..." Frost says with a shaky voice
"Frost, do you mind if we gave you the choice of transferring to a unit of your choice, which unit would you choose?" Blue Leader asked
"I-I would choose Unit one but I heard that's for senior campers only..." Frost said sadly
"Well, I guess Storm here has a new member of his unit" Red Leader said which made Frost's head snap up
"Wait... you mean..." Frost said and the three commanders nodded their heads
"You will be treated like everyone else in the unit. Like family, they will help you and mentor you. But you have to promise one thing to us" Gold Leader said and Frost nodded her head vigorously
"Anything, within reason that is" Frost said which caused the commanders to chuckle
"Just promise to never give up, always give 110% alright?" Blue Leader said and Frost jumped up and hugged Blue Leader before stepping back looking down as if she did something wrong
"sorry..." Frost said before Blue leader cut her off with a small chuckle
"Don't worry about it Frost, now hurry to the obstacle course. Units one, two, and three are there now" Blue leader said and Frost smiled and jogged off
The commanders then turned and walked toward the sparring arena and they each brought out their signature weapons.
"No holding back?" Red leader said when they each were ready
"Agreed" Blue and Gold leader said at once before the three commanders rushed each other
