A New Order of Chaos

Let's Rank Up! 3x1

Percy wished this didn't lead to his or his friends' doom.

Once he and his friends (he already considered Alabaster one of his friends, even when he fought on the other side in the Kronos' Army and he tried to take down Olympus) agreed with Chaos and his proposal, the Creator handed them capes with hoods that cloaked them.

'The capes and the hoods will allow you to hide your identity from your enemies. It can't be removed unless you pull it back yourself' Chaos had informed them when he was handing them.

"How do I look, Wise Girl?" Percy called his girlfriend, trying the cape on. Just to make it more funny, Percy twirled in his place, to make Annabeth chuckle.

"You look good, Seaweed Brain" she replied, a hiding smile of worry on her face "What if we make the wrong choice?" she asked him, turning the moment a little souring. Percy sighed, since he was expecting this from her. She liked to know all her options.

"Which ever choice we're making, we'll face the outcome, together, OK?" he promised. Percy scolded himself mentally for not noticing before. Annabeth nodded and pecked his lips lightly, before smiling.

"C'mon... Everyone is waiting for us" she said. All Percy could do was following her like a lost puppy, which made Annabeth laugh and their friends to surprise: since their runaway, they haven't seem Annabeth cracked a smile.

"Nice capes, guys" the guy previously introduced as Omicron, complemented. Only then, Percy noticed that the colour of his cape was a very dark shade of sea green, like if it was mixing with the black.

"Why our capes are different?" Frank wondered, which made Percy take all the capes in consideration: Annabeth's was a dark grey. Piper's, kind of magenta. Jason's a very much dark blue. Hazel's, almost black. Leo's, blackish red. Calypso's was turning kind of mustard and Frank's was a dark purple.

"Because, those are the capes of the generals" Chaos' protégée, Lambda, explained. Apparently, Lambda had been around Chaos more than te rest of his guard, because he talked little, but knew a lot "The rest of us are your second in command" Percy looked around and noticed that he was right. Even Alabaster was wearing a regular black cape, and he wasn't liking it.

"Seconds in command?" Jason inquired, looking at the Guard "I thought we all were equal..."

"Evidently, someone is always in meed of an ego boost" one of the girls, Phi, scowled at them. Percy didn't like her attitude.

"Look, we never asked for any special treatment" he started, looking at his friends "I wanna know why Chaos picked us up as leaders as much as you do, but if we ARE suppose to be Chaos' Personal Guard, then, I suggest we behave like one" All the guards were speechless at his words, until Omicron started to laugh.

Why the Hades is he laughing about?!

"Now, I know why Kronos never stood a chance against you!" he kept laughing and clapping but, for some strange reason, Percy didn't feel insulted or mocked. It was as Omicron had finally understood something that had been under his nose the whole time.

"Um, thank you?" He wasn't sure how to reply. Luckily, he didn't have to add anything, because that was when Chaos made his appearance.

"Are you ready to start?" he questioned them. Percy noticed some hesitation between his friends, but they all nodded "Very well, you must follow me-"

"Couldn't we say goodbye, first?" Piper's voice came out a little strangle and Percy couldn't place his finger around what was she asking.

"I'm afraid that's not possible, Ms. McLean..." Chaos acknowledged, lowering his head a little "If I do allow you say goodbye to your remaining family, we'd only put then in danger of been reached by the King and Queen of Olympus" Piper's expression fell "However, I can assure you that you'll be able to look after them, from the Void"
