Poseidon was left speechless.
One minute, he was arguing with Zeus about how the merge of the camps could work into their benefit (though, Zeus was stubborn and was absolutely positive than that merge will only work to find a way to substitute them), and the next, the Creator was standing right in front of them, with several men behind him.
When did the world worked the time perfectly?
"Chaos!?" Zeus repeated the name, as if he checked it, it wouldn't become real "You were dormant!!" Chaos shook his head with an amusement smirk on him.
"You've been too caught up in your quest to maintain the power, dear grand-grandson" Zeus cringed at the mentioned of their relationship, as if he never wanted to remember it.
"Name your business, Chaos. Then, leave our presence!!" Hera took the word from his husband. Poseidon asked himself for how long has she hitting her tongue to interfere.
"If you ask me to leave means that you'd not allow me to assist you-"
"You are correct, Lord Chaos" she spitted out the name, as if it was a joke "We're perfectly capable to handle any situation that occurs!!" her pride spoke for her.
"Like when Typhoon woke up?" One of Chaos' soldiers butted in. Poseidon was sure he had heard that voice before, but he couldn't place a face to it. Besides, it didn't help that all of the Guards' members were wearing hoods that covered their faces.
"Or, when a demigod freed Kronos?" Another one supplied. It was more as if they were talking and remembering between them and not to the Olympians.
"What about Dirt Face?" A female interfered this time. Her voice had some kind of bored.
"Or war between camps-"
"Enough!!!" Zeus shut them up, punching his fist in his throne "I will not tolerate such disrespect, not from Chaos and not from anyone!!"
"You're lucky enough our Master ordered us not to attack you..." Another female voice muttered. It wasn't really low, but it was low enough for everyone to hear it.
"I believe we must give Lord Chaos a chance to explain why is he here and why did he brought an army with him" Athena suggested. And, for once, Poseidon agreed with her. Chaos wouldn't appear in Olympus with any good reason. Much less, bring an army with him.
"Thank you, Lady Athena... Very wise decision" Chaos praised her, but Poseidon detected a little mockery behind his words "I'm here because I must inform you or something that poses as threat to all of us"
"And, which threaten is that one?" Ares wondered, already crackling his knuckles.
"As you all know, Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase were the only mortals so far that fought Tartatus-"
"Those names are forbidden to mention ever again!!" Zeus raised from his throne in a very intimidating position... or what he believed it was threatening, because everyone was looking at him as if he was a child making a tantrum.
"I didn't agree on that decision, brother" Poseidon intervened. He would never tolerate that his brother qualified his son of a traitor, so he was gonna defend him in any chance he got "Let our guest to finish before you try to turn him into ashes"
"Thank you, Lord Poseidon" Chaos repeated, bowing a little "As I was saying, those demigods were the only ones who faced Tartarus and outsmarted Nyx" Poseidon saw Athena's look of proud in her face "You'd also remember than another demigod and a Legacy sacrificed themselves to defeat Gaea" After saying that, Chaos send a sympathetic look towards Hephaestus and Apollo "What you all ignore, is that Nyx and Tartarus had formed an alliance with Ouranos-"
"Ouranos is dead! Chopped into insignificant pieces around the sky! Father made sure of it!" Hades interrupted Chaos, not on purpose, because when he realized what he did, he shut his mouth.
"You thought the same about Kronos, didn't you?" Hades put a thinking face before nodding.
"What do you suggest we can do, Lord Chaos?" Athena, once again, took over the conversation, under the hatred look that both Hera and Zeus were giving her.
"Well, for starters, I'd like to know which side are you in, before even offering my help" Some of Chaos' Guards snorted and huffed, as if they knew what will be their choice.
"And, if we don't agree to fight at your side, Lord Chaos?" Artemis pondered the question out loud.
"Well, for one, you'll be on the losing team, but more importantly, you'd regret it once you know who will you fight against and we don't want that, do we?" Chaos answered her. Artemis leaned back on her seat, her lips pursed in a thin line.
"We'll have to make a voting" Zeus announced. All the Olympians nodded.
"Those in favor of allowing Lord Chaos to help" Poseidon spoke up, raising his hand. He didn't have to think about it twice: joining against Chaos was a ticket with no return straight to Forgetful Land. He looked around to the rest of the gods. Hades had his hand up, as well as Apollo. Hephaestus, Dionysus and Hermes were discussing it between them, while Athena was in deep thinking, alone. Hestia, Demeter and Aphrodite were timidly raising their hands. Poseidon knew it was hard for them, especially Hestia, who despised war.
"I don't care as long as I have someone to break their skulls" Area didn't mind much.
"Did I mentioned that Ouranos is thinking about taking over Olympus and rule your world?" Chaos added, smirking.
Soon, the rest of the hands of the Council were up without any hesitation, though Poseidon saw some in Athena.
"I'm so glad we could reach an agreement!" Chaos faked happiness, clasping his hands together "Now, my fellow immortal relatives, I'd like to introduce you to the most lethal army you'll ever known. From the depths of the Underworld or the hidden corners of Earth, I give to you, the Guards of the Void"
