Annabeth POV*********************************************************************************

I ran to Thalia's pine tree with the rest of the campers.

I gasped when I saw an army of thousands of monsters making their way up to camp. I quickly looked around and saw Omega talking with Ally. It looked as if they were having a disagreement. Logan was there too, trying to help Omega.

"What's happening?" I asked, making my way towards them.

"Omega won't let me fight." Ally pouted.

"No," Omega protested. "You can fight, but only if the battle gets bad and we need back up. I will not let the 7-year-olds fight. You all are too young to experience all this."

"But that's why we train!"

"Yea," Omega said. "That's also why you will be back up, the secret weapon. I've seen you train, you're good."

Ally grinned widely when she heard that. "Listen," Omega said, crouching down. "I won't let anything happen to your camp and friends, I promise."

If we weren't going to having a battle with thousands of monsters, I would've awwwed but now was not the time.

Ally just hugged Omega and Logan and ran back to the other young campers. Omega then stood up and grinned. "Time to do some warming up."

I nodded at him and went around checking if everyone were ready. I saw the warriors running towards Omega. "Finally some action, huh?" Alpha said.

"I've been waiting for this since I got here," the one who I think is Charm, said. "I bet Omega can disintegrate the whole army in ten minutes."

"Nah," Maze spoke up. "He can do it in 5 mins."

"I bet 50 drachmas that the army will be gone in a minute." Star looked around, surveying the number of monsters with an expression that said, 'Is this all? I thought we signed up for fun!'

How can they be so chill just before a battle?

"I bet 100 that our dear commander will only need 30 seconds or even less," Alpha finalized.

"Let's see about that." Omega chuckled.

"Shall we, commander?" Huntress mocked a bow.

"We shall, my fellow comrades," Omega said, doing what Huntress did back to them.

"You all take this way too lightly." Bridge rolled his eyes. "Never underestimate anyone."

"True, true..." Forge nodded.

"Let's just go," Charm groaned. "I need to get some monster dust on my hands right now, been years since I've fought in a war."

"No it hasn't," Beckendorf frowned. "We literally have wars like every week, it's like our jobs."

"Was an expression." Omega rolled his eyes playfully. "And you all call me the thick-headed one in the army..."

"Let's just go," Alpha said, agreeing with Charm.

Omega just smirked at them and shot off at lightning speed.

I just shook my head and focused on the battle. My eyes widen when I saw what was happening in front of me. Omega was killing everything in his way in seconds, the warriors doing something similar. Omega jumped on a tree and took a bow out. He notched an arrow and somehow angled it to bounce off trees, disintegrating every monster within seconds.

I just stood there dumbfounded, just like every other camper here. Omega just dusted off monster dust and looked up, finally noticing all the stares.

"Sup?" He said though it sounded more like a question.

"You could've left something for us!" Star exclaimed.

"Yea..." Charm grumbled.

"Don't try to change the topic here," Alpha interrupted. "I won the bet, hand in the gold, Star."

Alpha put his hands out expectantly.

Star grumbled and handed him drachmas. I heard her grumble one last thing before deciding I had enough crazy for a day. I was probably just hearing things.

"Sometimes, I just hate you, Lukey."
