Lord Perseus

Chapter 8

Rex POV

 Just as I was about to get some rest, it happens. The silence was broken by a horn and the sound of marching. All around me campers scrambled to get their weapons and started running to the hill. Deciding I should  probably check what exactly was going on, I followed them. Falling in next to me, Scar looked over. 

"Hey Rex, you have any idea what's going on here?" 

"I don't know but I doubt it's anything good. It's pretty obvious we're under attack but by who is anyone's guess." Picking up the pace, I reached the top of the hill and saw Jaw, Boom and Percy already there with the rest of the campers. 

"Percy, who are we up against?"

"Nothing much. We're looking at a good few Titans and an army of monsters."

"Do we help?"

"Maybe. If they need help we might interfere. Where on earth is alpha." 

"Here" called Alpha running to join us on top of the hill "I got a bit sidetracked with something in the lab. What going on?"

 "The camp is under attack" I respond "and we're deciding on wether or not to help out. It looks like they need our help as they are getting absolutely battered."

"Can we please try out our new bomb Percy, please." Said Jaw and boom in unison. 

"No" I cut in "you will not try out whatever barbaric weapon you've made unless there is no other way to deal with this. Am I understood?"

"Yes Rex" 

"Good. Percy, it's now or never. Do we or do we not help them out."

"Not helping would cause a huge thing on Olympus I don't want to deal with so sure. Fire away boys."

"Alright" I responded "the campers need help with their frontal assault, so I want Scar and myself to help out with that. I want Jaw, Alpha and boom to sneak around the back and attack from behind. If that's ok with you of course."

"That's alright with me" Percy shrugged "I'll just go and kill whatever's put in front of me. See you in a bit" 

And Percy went flying off to join the battle. Following his lead, me and Scar charged into the fray killing everything in our path. The monsters we were up against provided quick work for me and scar, but it wasn't so easy for the campers. They were getting cut down left and right and the relentless advance of monsters didn't seem to be stopping. 

"Rex! Do you remember what that spell was for boosting people's strength and speed. 

"No i don't, I'm assuming you want to use it on the campers."

"I was going to do that, but I can't remember the damm thing."

"Just say the words 'increase strength and speed' in Latin and hope it works." 

Scar did just that and to our surprise it seemingly worked. The campers were fighting back with renewed strength and speed and were pushing the monsters back.

"It actually worked. I can't believe it actually fucking worked." Scar yelled happily. 

"Nice one mate. Who knew all you had to do for magic was say the names of the stuff you want to happen in Latin. That could prove very useful later." 

And slowly but surely the campers (with our help of course) destroyed the enemy. Though the Titans did manage to get away, which might be considered a downside. But the work was far from over when the battle ended. The fight had caused a lot of damage, and many were killed. The Camp held a huge funeral for all the fallen after dark at the lake. We were watching this when we saw Bullseye jump out of a tree next to us. 

"Judging by what's going on here I'd say I missed some pretty important shit." 

"You did" I replied "the camp was attacked by an army of monster lead by a few Titans. Percy's away on Olympus for a meeting discussing it now."

"Where's Alpha, is he alright?" 

"Yeah he's alright. But I don't know where he is, I haven't seen him since just after the battle. He's probably gone back to the lab."

"I'm guessing an attack like this means war"

"It probably does."

"Are you worried?" He asked me 

"No. And neither should you." I said slinging my arm around him "I think we'll get out of this just fine."
