Planet Tiphos

Previously....

"When exactly do we depart?" Hannibal shifted his eyes to Alexander then back to Oliver before speaking,

"Tomorrow. Go get some sleep Oliver, we will meet up in the war room in the morning to go over some few more things before we leave."

Oliver nodded and left to go back to his room, Hannibal and Alexander did the same.

However as the hours went by throughout the night Oliver was too excited to sleep. He needed to tell someone about the events that had happened today. Oliver walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. He flipped in a golden drachma and spoke,

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Artemis Goddess of the Hunt."

Artemis shimmered into view inside of her tent sitting in a chair reading reports of monster sightings. Artemis felt like someone was watching her so she turned around and found an iris message appear. She saw the young boy and smiled as Oliver spoke,

"Hey mom".

Now..

3rd Person

Percy awoke to the consecutive pounding on his door. Begrudgingly he rolled over and looked at his alarm clock, "Great" he thought, it is 5 in the morning.

Groaning he got up and made his way to the bathroom to splash some water on his face to give him some much needed energy. Finally making his way to the door to confront this monster that thought it was okay to wake up before 5 in the morning, much less wake him up at 5 in the morning. He pulled open the door while yawning only to find Avalon looking at him curiously.

"It looks like you drool in your sleep." Avalon said pointing to the drool stains on Percy's face.

"Huh you're not a monster." Percy said quickly wiping. Avalon raised an eyebrow and spoke,

"Its nice to see you too Percy, but we need to meet for an emergency meeting with Havoc and Stephan." Percy nodded and muttered under his breath,

"Better be an emergency to awake me from my beauty sleep." Avalon just smiled and shook her head as we made our way through the castle to the War Room.

While walking down the hallway Percy couldn't help but have a feeling that something was about to change. For better or worse, it was yet to be decided.

"You feel it too huh?" Avalon spoke as they made a turn past the mess hall towards the war room.

I nodded, "Yes I fear that a war is coming quicker than we think Avalon."

Avalon stared at him for a moment before giving a quick nod and pushing the doors to the War room open to reveal a stressed out Stephan and a calm looking Havoc leaning on opposite sides of the Table looking over enemy movements while sipping coffee.

"If we send some warriors to this planet we can get control over it in less than 48 hours," Stephan suggested. Havoc had faraway look in his eyes but a cough from Avalon brought him back before shaking his head and speaking,

"We need a small group of warriors that are capable of taking control of Vesperon." Percy looked from Avalon to Stephan before his eyes finally met Havoc's.

"You want the three of us to take control of the planet Vesperon and fight not only their army, but a very high chance that your brother will bring reinforcements?" Percy asked. Stephan looked between Havoc and Percy and spoke,

"Come on Perce we have to do this. We CAN do this. Heck we can even change our names if you want to not give away our identities. I know that I may not be the best strategist right now considering that the long lost prince is coming home, but I am all for Havoc's plan."

Havoc nodded towards Stephan before Avalon voiced her thoughts,

"I can't believe I am saying this but I agree with Stephan and Havoc, our best chance to quickly take control over Vesperon and gain power for Havoc is to send a small force of elites, and not to be arrogant, but that is us Percy." Percy nodded and took a sip of coffee before finally speaking,

"When do we leave?"

All eyes turned to Havoc as he started speaking, "Right away actually. As soon as we have control over the planet I will send some extra warriors to help you maintain control for you to come back to Tiphos and begin Phase two of our plan." We all nodded and set off to our rooms to get ready for our Battle.

Percy strapped on the last piece of his armor and decided that nicknames might not be a bad idea to help conceal their identities.

After meeting up with Avalon and Stephan they boarded the ship and set out to the Planet Vesperon.

Avalon finally broke the silence," Havoc gave us each an envelope and a cloak that contains our new names and will help keep our identities secret. I swear if my name is something stupid so help me Havoc." After laughing for a few seconds we decided to go ahead and open our envelopes to our second lives.

The ship hovered over an area that seemed clear and dropped off the three occupants before quietly flying back to Planet Tiphos.

Percy looked to Avalon and Stephan and spoke, "Okay Paragon I believe that we should set up here for the night what do you think Cobra?" Avalon and Stephan nodded and spoke, "Sounds good Maelstrom".
