Percy Jackson and the Star Army

Chapter I

This isn't a place Percy would find himself at again.

Here he stood, on top of Half-Blood Hill while looking down at the place Percy used to call home with his family on each side of him. The camp looked exactly how it used to, everything still in it's place and Thailia's tree next to the group of six. The only different was the silver tents in the strawberry fields, where the Hunters of Artimes were staying while at camp.

Percy felt fingers slip into his hand and looked down to see Eclipse's pale hand grabbed his tan one. A faint smile appeared for a second as he gave her hand a comforting squeeze. 

"It's going to be alright, Nova." Eclipse whispered, a bit of her mix of black and white hair hanging out of her high pony. She cleared her throat and spoke up to the whole team. "Alright you five, we've been through this before. We help were needed, wither it be medical, support, or fighting. We'll get this war over with then go home. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Star." The five of them said together.

"Let's go and great our allies for the next little bit." Eclipse said before they all walked down the hill and to the dining pavilion, where all the campers and Hunters were at the moment for dinner.

Right as they walked up, the chatter died down and all eyes were on them. Which made sense. Some weird things happen at this camp, but six figures cladded in amour that was a dark metal, weapons strapped to them, and masks going over their faces but under their helmets. Most of the masks only went to their eyes, but Eclipse's covered her whole face. While the others had silver trimming on their helmets and amour while their masks the same silver, the trimming and mask for Eclipse was a dark purple, it almost looked black. The eye slits were big enough that she could see through them. but small enough that no one could see her eyes. Of course, this was the same for the others.

One camper stood; hand clutched tightly around her sword hilt as she eyed the team. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Percy didn't recognize the girl, but her storm grey eyes gave away her godly parent. Unlike most of her siblings, she didn't have blonde hair but an amber color that was in a pixie cut.

Eclipse stepped forwards, drawing her shoulders back and talked with an even ringing tone. "I am Star, commander of the Star Army. We are here to aid you in any way we can in this upcoming war with End."

Another girl got up from the head table and Percy felt his gut drop. At the table was Piper, Thailia, Leo, Nico, Will, and Annabeth. Scanning his eyes over the group of campers at the table, he was surprised to see that Coral, a daughter of Poseidon and the reason Percy left camp. He relaxes, however, when he saw her sitting at the Demeter table.

"We don't need help with anything," Annabeth spoke, "I'm sorry that you came all this way for nothing." The slight hint of an undertone gave her away at not being that sorry.

"Actually, Annabeth," Coral spoke up, not bothering to stand, "I asked the gods to call them for help. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that we will not be able to win this war without help from people who knew what they are doing when it comes to fighting against immortals like End."

Annabeth's face tightened as she said, "You did this?" Coral nodded, "You should have talked with us before asking the gods anything like this."

"It's fine, Annabeth." Thailia said, twirling a dagger in her hand. "Coral is right, anyways, we could use the help."

"We will not just aid with fighting," Eclipse informed them, drawing the attention back to her, "Huntress and Dove-" Zoe and Selena nodded at their names, "-are well-trained in the medical field while Forge is an expert blacksmith. Alpha is great at battle strategies while Nova and I are the expert fighters. Not that the others aren't well above average. As Princess of the Cosmos, I was trained in more weapons than you can believe, and Nova is blessed by two Primordial Gods." There were a few strained gasps at this, which made Percy smile a little, "So you can see why we're ahead of the others."

"What's with the masks?" Piper asked as Annabeth finally sat down, which is when Percy noticed the other Athena camper had sat down as well.

At this question, Percy was the one to talk. "The masks are to hide our identities. We will reveal them to you if we wish, not sooner or ever if we do not want to."

"Why would you need to hide them? It's not like you're wanted serial killers." Leo joked.

"Because we have enemies that would and will find us if we walked around with our faces out to the galaxies." Zoe said, no joking in her voice, "Trust us, these are people and things you do not wish to meet."

Before anyone could change the topic again, Eclipse talked. "Now that we have this sorted out, is there a place we could stay or will we have to make our own camp?"

The ones at the head table looked at one another before Coral said, "If you're okay with sharing a cabin with someone not in your Army, I'm happy to open the Poseidon to you six. There's more than enough room in there."

"I don't see a problem with that," Will said, glancing at the others for objections. "Will that be okay with you, Commander Star?"

Eclipse turned to them, and they all nodded. "Yes, that will be fine. Thank you for opening your cabin to us. We appreciate it more than words could say."

"It's no problem, Commander." Coral waved them off. "If you like, you can join us for dinner as well."

"That sounds nice, but it would be nice to get some rest after our trip here. So, I think we'll retar for the evening."

Coral nodded and said, "Would you like me to show you to the cabin?" 

"No thanks, we'll figure it out." Eclipse said, gave the campers a brief bow and they all went to the cabins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Percy!" Coral exclaimed as she threw her arms around Percy, who hugged her back. "I'm so glad to see you again. How have you been since you've last written?" She let go and stepped back.

"Pretty good, nothing important enough to tell you about happened." Zoe scoffed behind him and he felt Eclipse's eye roll. "Except maybe Luke and I flooding the training arena..."

Coral looked behind Percy to the others in the room. "Do I want to know how that happened?"

"Yes!" "No."  Zoe and Luke said at the same time, which got Zoe to smack him over the head.

"No, no you do not." She said as Luke rubbed his head.

Eclipse sighed at their actions as she came up to Coral and held out her hand. "I'm Eclipse, Percy's girlfriend. It's nice to finally meet you, Coral."

Coral smiled as she shook Eclipse's hand. "It's nice to meet you too. I have a lot of stories to tell you about Percy."

At Eclipse's smile, Percy turned to his friends. "Should I be scared?"

"No, it's fine." Selena said while Zoe nodded in agreement.

"Dude, you're screwed." Charles disagreed with Luke mouthing 'Screwed' next to him.

Yeah, Percy had a bad feeling about this. A really bad feeling about it.

Hey, guys! Here's the first chapter of this story. Whoo. Hopefully I won't get unmotivaed too much to the point of rewriting this. Again.
