In the distance, the faint clanging of weapons could be heard. After almost half an hour the first team was taken out - The Zeus team - a golden flare flew into the sky, signalling they were out.

The Hades team got the flag, Bianca thought.

Okay, Beckendorf, your up, try not to get captured. I thought, Selena, Luke get ready.

I am ready, Luke whined, I've been ready for the past six days.

I tried not to facepalm.

Beckendorf telepathically announced that he was well into the enemy territory.

Plant the Solar Flares.

All done, he replied.

Attract attention, I thought to him. Then we'll go in.

The young Ares camper, eager to prove herself ran off in the direction Beckendorf planned for.

Now.

Luke, Selena and I took off into the woods, expertly flying between branches. Soon enough, the flag was barely fifty yards away. We dropped into the trees, folding our wings up. Scanning for any defence.

The two flags protruded from Zeus' fist. Both of them with the complicated symbol drawn up before.

Dinoysus kids stumbled around, obviously celebrating a little too early. Whilst the Fourth Legion focused on defence, a few Hunters were spread throughout the trees, their glimmering forms giving them away.

Solar Flare coming in in ten seconds, Beckendorf warned.

We move in then.

Got it. Luke nodded back.

A shrill, high-pitched noise emitted throughout the forest, campers and hunters dropped like flies, a few fell from the trees. The Roman Eagles caught them in time.

We moved forwards, without caring about stealth. Anyone who noticed, Selena charmspeaked them into sleep.

We grabbed the flags and ran for it. Selena yelled commands left, right and centre. In one hand Luke had a flag, in the other, a sword. The same was with me as Selena lead us back to our base.

The young Ares camper stood between us and our border. Luke and Selena ran right past her, she readied her sword but with one hand I easily disarmed her and sent her spinning into the water. Of which I felt a little guilty.

A silver flare streaked into the sky, signalling the Hunter's team was out.

Luke and I handed our flags to Kinzie who scaled different trees with ease and set traps around them.

Beckendorf, report in. I called telepathically.

Your going to have to go on without me Beckendorf said sadly.

Why? I asked worriedly. We can't do this without you.

I've been taken hostage, the enemy request a meeting under a white flag, they call for an honest movement and that all action to cease between the two teams.

We're going to get you out Beck

Please don't call me that.

I'm going to call you that, try and find out what they want, what is the ransom price?

I'll find out, just a second.

A few moments later Beckendorf replied, they request at least one flag.

Gods dammit. I swore mentally.

Another penny in the swear jar, Luke sung.

Shutup Luke, I grumbled.

Two more, he sung.

Oh and Percy? One more thing, they know my identity.

Oh no *mock horror* they know his identity! What's Percy going to do... Will other ones reveal their identity. Luke per usual is being annoying but I'm making him the comic relief needed.

Apologies for the short chapter, another one will be posted as soon as I write it. I'll probably be writing till two in the morning. And then all the refers who actually sleep will wake up and be like omg. So many chapters.

FOR OLYMPUS!
