Percy Jackson and the Dark Elites

XXV

Annabeth

Annabeth grabbed Piper's hand, and the mist started showing them shots of the assault on Camp Jupiter. 

It showed twelve large triangular ships headed towards the camp. They launched explosives into the city, setting several buildings up in a flare of Greek fire. 

Riders fell out of the ships and attacked the unsuspecting citizens in disorganized lines. From what they saw, they're effort was going towards knocking the people out. 

Hazel had been on the street and she turned her head to see all the commotion. She drew her sword and smacked several of the Riders back. She moved quickly against an opposing Riders blade. But he put up just as good of a fight. 

A loud screeching sound echoed above them. It increased in volume as three large streaks blew through the sky. Large invisible objects cut through the clouds with something sharp.

Three ships descended from the clouds with such force that flames roared on their fronts. They slowed so fast the backs of the machines flew above the large reflecting windows at the front. The stopped enough to stay above the camp and spiraled down towards the fight. Several surface to air missiles were fired but missed the massive jets as they tunneled town in tornado form.

Annabeth watched hundreds of Elites bleed out of the Nyxis into the city square. The mist showed several teams checking populated buildings and saying the words 'clear' out to their friends. They grabbed handfuls of scrolls and artifacts and used strange glowing rings to store them. The ring was hollow but each piece of parchment vanished as it crossed the border.

They then ran out and took positions in the city, defending anyone that needed it, and attacking anyone not in their uniform.

All of the Elites from the Red ship formed a neat line and met the Riders in combat. A rider in all gray leapt in front of Hazel. He met the Rider with two knives as ling as his forearms.

Hazel shipped her head around and watched the Renagade land. A large amount of Elites charged out and urged the Romans onto the Green Ship. Cohorts and Cohorts of Demigods rushed onto the vessel. Trial ran out past Hazel with a team of six others. They bolted to the Senate house and pulled out several people in togas.

Reyna and Jason followed the Romans last.

Piper's entire body pulled away from the mist in front of them. Annabeth held her hand righter.

They could see Jason motioning for Reyna to go with the Elites, then he ripped off his toga and flew up. He focused his attention on a group headed for the colosium.

Ruin and a team of three more scaling the walls of the circular structure. They charged down as a Violet Elite ran up to a bright machine.

Annabeth could see Ruin holding his arms in front of him, trying to block his eyes from the light.

Repair was clearly yelling at him. They could hear every word.

Annabeth had never imagined anyonespeaking to Ruin like that. Repair clearly had Ruin's respect.

"Trust me!" Repair finished his speech with and Ruin bolted into the streets. He held a hand to his ear and the other Elites started to board on the Nyxis, following orders to run if Repair couldn't get Indigo to stop.

Ruin stood still, staring out to where he left Repair.

Annabeth laughed silently. Ruin and Repair. They had to have been a good team.

"Trial!" Ruin's muffled voice screamed over the comms. Then he lowered his hands and screamed as loud as he could over the commotion. "TRIAL!"

Bones and Shave grabbed him and pulled him onto the ship. He called out for Trial again.
