ELEVEN AND STRANDED: The Beginning

Reyna's return to Camp Jupiter

Reyna "MC what happened back there and how did I wind up with you?" MCRC "I came across your squadron in the Northern Territories where I rescued them. You were outnumbered and when I showed up with Ender we were able to defeat the monsters with minimal injury to our own troops. You were knocked out shortly before I showed up and thus you may have a concussion so I am taking you back to Camp Jupiter where you can recuperate safely. I still have one other person who can take you back into Camp Jupiter so I can remain Ghost." "Who do you plan to use for this?" "Evelyn, she is a daughter of Hades and the one who pulled me out of that horde a while back. I've been Ghost ever since and only a few know I exist." "So this Evelyn, is she safe to travel with?" "Daughter of Hades and incredibly beautiful in every way, well at least in my eyes she is. But yes despite the common problems that happen with being a child of the Underworld yes she is very safe to travel with." "You trust her with your life, so I can trust her with mine." "She will meet us near the Camp and take you to the infirmary where you will get the medical attention you need. I did a small patch job of some of your injuries but some I cannot do anything about. Soon we will be back on home soil and you can make a full recovery and prepare Camp Jupiter for war against the Titans. I will take care of the Giants somehow and you just prepare for a possible attack from the Titans. Just be prepared for it because once I take down Kronos again the Titans may not push an attack knowing he is once again dead." "All my best soldiers are in the North linking up with your squadron to assist with the Giants."

"This is true but you must remember there are some still at Camp who have better skills than those up North." "Like who?" "Jamison, Rooks, Hilliard, Jackson." "Jackson and Hilliard lost their lives about a month ago when the Camp came under attack by creatures of unknown origin. We believe these creatures came from the Northern Territories beyond the reaches of the Gods. The old mountain where Kronos used to have his throne is still there in the Ruins. If he has returned as you have said then I must prepare my legion for a war on two fronts. Our only chance will be if we sandwich the combat zone." "Reyna save your strength, you are getting weaker. Until you have made a full recovery you must do nothing except rally the Twelfth. To be ready at my word. We need to send a direct message, if we take Kronos and then take on the Giants full force we will stand the greatest chance against this threat."

"I'm getting tired." "Like I said you are weak as a twig and can break apart at any point in time if you make the wrong move. You need your rest, I will wake you when we reach the RV." "Thank you MC, thank you." "It is the least I can do for the greatest Praetor I ever served with." "There is a ceremony that will be held at the arena at Camp Jupiter in three days. I wish for you to show yourself but to be disguised as someone completely different. Say that you are going after Kronos and that the Twelfth Legion will provide back up when the time comes. They will ask when the time comes you will say, you will know when it is time." "If I should show up at your rally I will be completely different. My voice won't be the same and neither will my trade mark dragon will be covered in armor. In other words, you probably won't even recognize me. Now get your rest, you will need it. In three days we will determine the course of the war, in three days we will have contoured the mighty Titans once again and take the fight to the Giants. This war may turn bad quickly but we will fight until the end." "Words of a hero, words of a warrior, words of a legend." "Get your rest and use my lines from right now to your advantage."

Reyna fell asleep again and MC made sure she was strapped in tight. Dawn is approaching quickly and as he is coming in for a landing he wakes Reyna. Evelyn "Thank the Gods you made it through alright." MCRC "Evelyn this is Reyna and she is the sole Praetor of the Twelfth Legion stationed at Camp Jupiter. Our quest is unfinished in the Northern Territory but we are getting closer to achieving our goal." "MC you must move quickly for I sense a death rapidly approaching, within the next 24-36 hours if she is not rescued." "Thank you for this information, I will relay it to my squadron and we will hustle our way there. What is my time frame on Bailey?" "You have just over 48 hours to save Bailey before she starves to death. I'm amazed she is still holding on." "She is holding on because of me. She knows what would happen if I found out she is dead. Having you as close of friends as we are just makes matters worse. You can tell if something happened and it is always someone close to us." Reyna "MC you need to leave now." MCRC "You're right Reyna, I do have to leave. It will take me five hours to get back up there and link up with both your squadron and mine. We will all focus on the same goal. I will leave my squadron to assist with Kronos and I will use your squadron to my advantage strictly for defensive purposes when I go for Bailey. Ender will also stay back with my squadron and I will have both Bailey and Rumor on Ender to get them to safety wishing some sort of camp somewhere. Probably use Camp David as well." "You be careful out there, if you die there will be no more hope in winning the war."

Evelyn "MC you be careful out there, come back alive. You came pretty close a few times and you really were for three minutes once." MCRC "Evelyn please, you aren't my girl so you shouldn't be all that worried about me. Bailey is still alive, as long as she is alive I refuse to go to any other girl. If you value our friendship then you will quit worrying about me and worry about what is happening right now. If we are to have any chance at all of completing the quest you need to be ready to deal with anything that comes at us." "First I have been getting closer and closer to you since I saved you and second I am becoming concerned with your combat methods." "My combat methods are far more advanced than current military strategy as well as every counter-terrorism organization in the entire world. However my tactics are proving to be more difficult lately." "The Titans have strengthened their armies and the Giants have grown more powerful than ever and will be extremely difficult to defeat. A God and a demigod must fight at the exact same time or the Giants will prevail. There is no demigod fights until the Giant is on the ground and a God just taps them and turns them to dust."

"Gods must fight at the exact same time in order to defeat the Giants. I know of only one God who can fight with any demigod and kill every Giant." "No MC you don't under stand all the Giants must be taken out at the same time otherwise they will continue to gain strength. Each time you kill a giant the rest will gain strength and be more difficult to defeat. Percy Jackson might have the power you need to defeat them all." "Percy Jackson has disappeared and gone off the radar. Even his father has lost track of him and not to mention that he disappeared at the same time Athena lost track of Annabeth. They runoff and then somehow got out of the Gods' range of powers without detection. No one knows where they escaped at but all I know is that it was somewhere in the Northern Territory when they went under ground." "The Gods were furious when they received the news at the war council. I was summoned to council with them because I had the power to carry out their plan. When I arrived they said the other two demigods selected to carry out the quest given by the Gods had disappeared. I asked who the others were and they said Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase." "Enough, you need to get Reyna back to Camp Jupiter and in the infirmary where she can make a full recovery." "Yes sir." "Evelyn how many times must I tell you not to call me sir?" "At least once more as always." "Why must you be so formal with me?" MCRC flies off with Ender and rejoins his team in the Northern Territory.

Evelyn "Reyna are you ready to make the final jump back to camp?" Reyna "I must be ready because if I'm not then I'm going to lose my camp. Let's get going." "Hang on and don't let go." "I traveled with Nico enough to know what to do when Shadow Traveling."

Evelyn "Reyna I must get you to the infirmary soon or you might not make it." Reyna "I'll make a full recovery, I always do. If he trusts you then I trust you." "Grab on to my arm and don't let go. If you let go of my arm you will either be lost to the shadows or randomly dropped somewhere." "Let's go." Reyna and Evelyn shimmer into the shadows and disappear. They reappear just outside the main gate of Camp Jupiter. Reyna "Open the gate!" They enter the passage and someone else helps support Reyna. Rooks "I've never seen Reyna in this bad of shape. A few bumps and bruises here and there and one broken leg a while back. But I have never seen anything like this before." Evelyn "Just help me get her to the infirmary. I hope you have some Nectar on hand cause she is going to need it. She is injured badly this time just lucky we didn't pierce her Pancreas otherwise it would not be good." "The infirmary is just around the corner but once we are there you cannot enter the building." "I can control my powers long enough to keep her from going out. I've been forcing her spirit to return to her body for at least an hour now. Get her some Nectar first then assess her injuries. She has a possible concussion and maybe a broken rib, other than that I cannot tell."
