Bianca POV
I look at Percy and notice that he is watching me. He blushes and looks away. He looks so much older than he used to. How long have I been in the Underworld? It doesn't seem like it has been 4 years since my death. It feels more like 4 days. Either way, I'm glad to have Percy with me. To be honest, I really missed him and he was fun to be around. Annabeth doesn't deserve him. Is it morbid that I'm glad that he died?
Chaos grins, "I'm glad that you two decided to come with me. I promise that you won't regret your decision. Now if you'll follow me through the portal, I can take you to the Void." After he finishes talking, a black shaped door appears in front of me. The only thing I can see through it is a billion stars. It's like being in the wilderness during a new moon, but a million times better.
I go through first and am well aware of Percy trailing behind me. I'm surprised to find that there is solid ground beneath me and we are no longer ghosts. I touch my face just to make sure though. Sure enough, I'm real!
"By stepping into the Void, you immediately become immortal. Very anti climatic don't you think? But it's true. Since, technically, the Void is in space regular humans cannot live upon entering. I will have one of my warriors show you around the camp. He clicked a button on a wristwatch that I hadn't noticed until then, and said, "Magnolia, I need you to show Percy Jackson and Bianca di Angelo around. They are new here. Please make them feel welcome," he turns back to us, "I forgot to ask you, would you like to keep your identities a secret? Change your name to forget your past life?" Did I want to forget who I once was? No, but Percy might.
"I'm fine sir."
"Percy?" Percy had an agonized look on his face.
"I would like to change my name please. What should I change it to?"
Chaos brightens, "If you don't mind, would you change it to Omega? Because you will be the last thing your targets will see before they die," I thought it was very fitting.
Percy shrugs, "Sounds good to me!"
"Hello! I'm Magnolia! Welcome to the Forces of Chaos," a pretty brunette walks up to us and holds out her hand. She would be beautiful but she is covered in scars. I'm not sure why though, was she abused, got into too many fights, very klutzy? I don't know and I'm not brave enough to ask. She has pale blue eyes that remind me of ice and fair skin.
I'm the first to speak since Percy, I mean Omega, is practically drooling, "Hi I'm Bianca and this is Omega."
She looks confused, "Omega? I was supposed to be meeting a Percy and Bianca, not Bianca and Omega."
"I changed my name at the last minute. Literally, it was a minute ago."
"Oh I see, didn't want to be reminded of your past? That's cool. A lot of us have done the same thing. In fact, creating a new identity is part of the purpose of being here. I used to be a daughter of Khione, but Khione isn't exactly motherly and my father had died when a dracaena had attacked our house. My step mother and my step sister blamed me for my father's death and banished me from their house. Chaos found me and brought me into his family with open arms. That was nearly 1,000 years ago. None of us here have had an easy life and part of the healing process is to tell others what happened to you. So, what happened?" she asks curiously.
Percy tenses and there is a fire in his eyes that I've never seen before, "I was betrayed by the one I loved and abandoned by others. I committed suicide to escape the pain. You would think that after saving all of their butts time and time again they would actually care to see how I was doing. Wrong. I used to be a son of Poseidon."
"I was a daughter of Hades. I joined the Hunters and went on a quest with some of the campers to rescue Lady Artemis. I died when I entered a robot and maneuvered it into some telephone wires. I died from electric shock. Before I died, I was in the Lotus Hotel and Casino with my younger brother Nico. We escaped after 70 years had gone by when one of the Furies sent by my father came to get us out," Percy doesn't look at me as I tell Magnolia my past.
Her eyes widened when we are done, "Are you The Percy Jackson? The one who killed Kronos, Gaea, and all the other Titans and giants? Man! What I wouldn't give to have had an opportunity like yours. I'm sorry that since you were mortal the tasks were much more difficult. But after a couple hundred or dozen years here, it depends on how good you are, you could do all of that no sweat!"
"Ugh!" he throws his hands in the air, "If only I'd met Chaos sooner."
"Well anyways, let me show you to where you will train, bunks, cafeteria, and weaponry to get our minds off of the subject."
Percy seems relieved at that idea, "Cool, and remember, I'm Omega not Percy. Percy Jackson only exists on Earth."
104 years later
Omega POV
Chaos' voice booms in my head, "Omega, I'd like to see you and Bianca in my office. I have an assignment for the two of you. But you might not like it. Oh and no matter what, you must go. Those are direct orders. See you in a few minutes."
Gods, what does he have planned for me now? I've been his assassin for the past 86 years now and my powers are almost equal to Chaos' himself. I turned down the offer of being commander and let Magnolia lead the armies, but they all still respond to my orders. In a way, I'm above Magnolia which she doesn't seem to mind. She knows of my position and how dangerous I am and she's smart enough to know that she shouldn't piss me off. Bianca became leader of the girl army 50 years ago when the last one died in battle during the Velurion Revolution. And we started dating 31 years ago.
Bianca di Angelo is my girlfriend. We could be so much more, but sometimes I don't let it. Even after all this time, my heart is torn because of that wretched daughter of Athena. But one day I promise that I will be over her. Bianca, sadly, was my second choice and I am grateful and ungrateful that she was taken from the world so quickly. She was still a Hunter though and so we could've never been together anyways. So it's a good/bad thing that she died.
"Omega, Percy, I have an important mission for the two of you. When I first met you two 104 years ago, I told you that one day Gaea and Kronos would rise again. Remember?" we nod at him, "Well that day has come. I need the two of you and the rest of the army to go to Camp Half-Blood and fight with the campers to defeat them again. Without us, the Greeks will surely die," my face is red with anger.
"What! There is no way I'm returning to the people that left me for my whiny, butt of a brother who did nothing to deserve their respect! I refuse to go. Let the Greeks die," I finish coldly.
"Ah yes, I was afraid you'd say that. Too bad though you have to go," on the last word he fashioned a portal and pushed us in.
