The Training... Again
When everyone finally closed their mouths, I started speaking, "Okay everyone, army included, I want to make an announcement," All eyes turned to me in one motion, it was honestly kind of creepy, "I would like to train the campers, and the army will need a place to stay. Also, the hunters should stay at camp. We will make it larger to accommodate for all three groups. I would like my generals and I to train everyone in their powers and skills. Now, my generals, will you please introduce yourselves?"
Jackie walked forward, "My name is Jackie Farmer, also known as Gem."
Davis stepped out next, "My name is Davis Mills, also known as blue."
Mason took a step forward then flashed a smile, making many girls blush, "My name is Mason Fitzgerald, also known as Speed."
Finally Selina sulked forward, "My name is Selina Stile, also known as Shadow."
I took one last look around and smirked. I opened my mouth to speak when a voice behind me squeaked, and I felt small arms wrap around my torso. I looked down and saw Jade. She looked older, but still had that innocent look she had all those years ago. It surprised me when I first saw her, but now, it brings a smile to my face.
"P-Per-Percy," She whispered and started to break down. I just realized I was so busy with camp and my girlfriends, I almost forgot her.
I picked her up and put her on my shoulders, "Hey Jade, how're you doing sis?"
She smiled brightly at me, remembering I was her adopted brother, "I'm doing much better now that you are here."
"Me too sis, me too."
I looked around and noticed most people smiling at us. I grinned up at Jade and felt happier just with the little small sunshine on my shoulders. I would have thought she was a daughter of Apollo, if I didn't know she was Zeus's daughter.
"Okay everyone, I'll make a portal, and when you arrive at camp, it will be larger and more war-like."
Everyone nodded, and I created a portal as I made the camp larger and ready for war. All the people filed through, even the gods. I went in last and looked around.
"Okay, I want everyone who is not in the Chaos Army to go to the arena, I will meet you all there with my generals. Thank you!"
They all nodded and headed towards the arena. My generals and I went followed behind them all, as I told Jackie, David, Mason, and Silena what I wanted them to teach.
"Jackie, can you teach knife fighting?"
"Of course Percy."
"Good, now, David, I would like you to teach sword fighting."
"Okay."
"Now Mason, you are our best shot. I would like you to teach archery."
"Duh," He said as if I was dumb. I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Selina, I would life for you to teach spear fighting."
"What else would I do?" She asked sarcastically.
"I will oversee everything, but first, I think we should get these guys warmed up. What do you say?" I said smiling evilly to them.
"Sounds like a perfect plan," They all smirked back.
We reached the arena and we told everybody the plan.
"Now, before we get started, I would like all of you to run around the camp twenty times."
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me. Oh, and for some encouragement," I snapped my fingers and twenty hellhounds appeared. They growled at the demigods, as the demigods started running for their lives.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" All five of us who were watching laughed.
Twenty minutes later
I smiled as all the demigods collapsed at my feet. I smirked evilly before one got up and looked at me angrily.
"What was that for, you could have killed us?!" He shouted angrily.
"It was to prepare you. Trust me, this will get much worse. Now, everyone who wants to practice archery, go with Mason. Anyone who wants to practice spear fighting, go with Selina. Anyone who want to practice knife combat, go with Jackie. Finally, anyone who wants to practice sword fighting, go with David. I will monitor everyone and help where needed. Thank you."
All the demigods slowly got up and went to their wanted trainer. I smirked internally at some of the pained looks on their faces after such a long and tiring run. Everyone started training and paired up with a partner if it was melee combat. The others were just shooting at targets, varying in range, depending on their skill level. I walked through and critiqued some stances and some blows. Honestly, it was going to take some time for these demigods to become warriors like the soldiers in the army were. I was never one to quit though. As I walked through, I noticed Zack not even doing anything.
I walked over to him, "Hey Zack, why aren't you training?"
"I don't need to train asshole. I am the best with a sword ever."
"Oh really? If that's the case, then I challenge you to a duel. No powers, you may only use your 'skills'."
"Okay, this should be easy enough," He said arrogantly.
I stepped forward and pulled out my swords. He pulled out his own sword and charged at me. I moved to side as he jabbed at my midsection. I whacked him in the back of the head with my forearm, and he tumbled away from me. We attracted a crowd now, and I was ready to embarrass this brat in front of everyone. He charged at me again, this time I didn't move. I just stood there. When he almost reached me, I grabbed the blade of his sword, twirled it out of his hand, and flipped him over me, all in one move. After I did that, everyone looked at me in shock and slight fear. I just smiled at them. I was just about to ask Zack if he was going to surrender, when I felt a strong gust of wind come out of nowhere and knock me down. I looked at Zack and saw him looking smug as ever. I felt anger flow through me as I rushed at him, not even going at .5 mach I reached him in less than a second. I threw a punch to his jaw and then his ribs. I heard a sickening crunch both times. I wound up my fist and punched him so hard and fast he created a sonic boom. He flew into the arena wall and cracked it, going three feet into it. I was about to go again, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Nyx. I looked at her questioningly, then I looked around the arena. Everyone was looking at me scared. My anger died almost instantly.
"I'm sorry," I muttered before disappearing before everyone.
(A/N Yet another short chapter. I'm sorry guys, but I do want to try and get all three chapters up today, so I'm making them short. I guess I'll see you in a couple hours. FYI, the antagonist is finally going to be revealed in either the next chapter or the one after! Hope you guys enjoyed it. See ya!)
