Chapter IV
Let's launch right in!
:::::
P.O.V Alexandr Cross.
I chuckled, leaving my brother behind with Mist. I walked through the corridors of the castle, suddenly thinking about earth and a certain Olympian. I shook my head, I was never returning to earth. David and Annabeth had made sure of that. They got together, betrayed us, exposed "Secrets" of ours. Beats me why she would do that, but I had my suspicions. I flashed myself to my tower, changing back into my usual clothes, flopping on my bed, darkness filling my vision.

Morning
::::
I woke up, a servant had already placed a tray of breakfast on a side table. I ate breakfast, then teleported to the war room, finding everyone there. I sighed, turning to Chaos, attracting attention. My teleportation had the uncanny ability to make zero noise, I often surprised everyone. "What is it now dad? What planet are we visiting?" Everybody's tension filled the air, including the making out Beckondorfs trying to hide in the darkness. "You won't like this." Mist muttered. "We're going to earth, I'll inform the Olympians. You're to protect an Olympian." I grinded my teeth together slightly. I sighed, nodding. "When does this take place?" Chaos thought, grinned like a mad man, then spoke. "Now! Don't reveal your identities!" With that, Chaos warped us to the Olympus throne room doors. In a flash, we had our hoods and mission gear on. Mostly just black and silver robes with hoods. We stalked into the hall, interrupting the council meeting. The gods stared at us, confused, save a furious Zeus, who stood and yelled at us; "Who are you?! What do you want?!" I sighed, "Drama queen..." I muttered, drawing snickers from our group? "Answer me!!!" He shouted, infuriated, raising the Master Bolt. I sighed. "We're your help from Chaos, protecting Olympians yada yada.... Whatever" Zeus was annoyed with my attitude, so he did the only thing he could do in that position. He hurled his master bolt at my chest, causing me to sigh, before flipping the bolt with my magic, turning the bolt on Zeus. The Olympians eyes widened as the beam of energy slammed into its owner, throwing him into his throne with enough force to crack the Quartz it was made of. A cloud of smoke filled the air near the now unconscious king of the Gods. I sighed exasperatedly. "So is this a council meeting or the gawking world championships?"
A shaky laugh came from Hermes, then Apollo, soon, everyone present was laughing. Surprisingly, the one person who I didn't expect to see smiling, yet alone laughing, was. Artemis, with her beautiful Alburn hair and dreamy silver eye- Shut up Alex! She is a eternal maiden... I sighed, I was annoyed at everyone and it was effecting my aura, causing a lot of nervous looks in my direction. Father spoke in my head. "Royal outfit, Now." I gathered my aura and harnessed it, allowing my regal attire to shift on. "Happy?" I grunted at the roof. A shadowy hand formed, giving me a thumbs up. I gave it another finger. A frying pan fell on my head. I muttered some unflattering words, more frying pans falling. This process would've gone on forever, but Demeter cleared her throat, attracting our attention. "Do you mind informing us who you are?" She asked, eating a bowl of cereal with milk. I raised an eyebrow at her, making her shrug, before I spoke.
"We are the hunters of Chaos, we consist of ;
1st Lieutenant and Archery instructor-Silver Shade
Blacksmith and Weapons Master-Furnace
Spy and Interrogator-Chat Noir
Spy, Trainer, Survival Expert and Scout-Warlock
Scout, Decoder and Disguiser-Nemcrat
Scout, Healer, Tactician-Άγγελος
Sorceress, Potions Master, Healer and Tactician, sister to Ομίχλη-Κουκουβάγια (Owl)
Sister to Κουκουβάγια, Sorceress, Potions Master, Healer and Tactician-Ομίχλη (Mist)
Myself, Commander, Interrogator, Decoder, Comms Controller and Survival Expert-Άγγελος του σκότους (Angel of Darkness)
And my brother, 2nd in Command, Swords-master, Trainer, Executioner-Άγγελος του θανάτου"
Artemis looked at me, trying to read my thoughts, but I easily pushed past her probing and into her mind, examining 3000 years of knowledge. 'My my Artemis, so easy to over power and so concerned... So inquisitive and curious. You want to know about the men who evaded you for 500 years, don't you. Well sorry to ruin you fun, but I can't let you get in-' I was cut off by her yelling aloud; "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" Apollo snickered, Hermes joined him and our group was having a bit of fun screwing with the various gods and goddesses. Zeus regained consciousness, marched ip to me, drew his fist back.......

Then found himself flying off Olympus.
Everyone stopped. Everyone was speechless, no one had done this before. I sighed, before clapping, summoning Zeus back to Olympus. "Now, I have been told it's in the best intentions that the gods chose their guardians. I will allow this on one condition. You listen to us and act accordingly. Also, don't split up Furnace and Chat, Aphrodite will kill you for splitting up the weds." A few heads looked between them, then turned back to me, everyone swearing on the Styx. "Artemis, you may go first." I said, semi yawning. She said one word that shifted Olympus beneath me. "You." She said, facing me. I sighed, then walked over to her side. We cycled through the people, Apollo-Angel, Hephaestus-Furnace, Aphrodite-Chat Noir, Hermes-Warlock, Athena-Owl, Hera-Mist, Zeus-No one, he adamantly refused, Poseidon-Death, Hades-Silver Shade, Demeter-Nemcrat. The others got children from their camp to be their guardians. The meeting finished and Artemis flashed me to her camp. I looked at her, annoyed. "I could've done that myself..." She looked at me, then smirked coldly. "You're gonna listen to my rules in my camp. First, chores." She handed me a list, which I incinerated. She growled at me, hunting knife flashing toward my throat, making me sidestep, shifting into my tactical gear. I drew my weapon, solely for parrying. My realms as a primordial were Sword Fighting, Defence, Heroes, Knowledge, Honour, Darkness, Doom, Shadows and Necromancy. She had no hope of piercing my defences. I ducked down as a huntress swung her bow at my head, but slammed it into Artemis' cheek instead. I spun, knocking the hunter out with a temple blow with my sword hilt, sheathing the blade, before walking to a downed Artemis. I saw through the ruse, but still approached, putting myself at a perfect position to counter attack her. She flashed towards me, allowing me to slip under her arm, knocking the blade from her hand with a pressure point, before kicking her legs from under her. I held the dagger out to her, hilt first. She glared up at me, snatching the blade from my hand. She got up and I turned to the irritating hunters, bows aimed at me. "This will be fun to explain...." I muttered.

Finished!
