Expect the Unexpected (A Percy Jackson/Chaos fanfiction)

When something goes wrong, blame Leo

Chapter 8 ~ When something goes wrong, blame Leo

Percy Jackson / Hurricane

I was training in the "Chaos Training Room" (that guy names everything after himself) with Luke when there was a sudden explosion outside.

I mentally groaned. Not again! Last time there was a huge explosion Beckendorf and Leo had tried to make a dragon in "The Chaos Workshop." Let's just say Castor, who happened to be walking by, was deaf for a week. We were lucky no one got killed.

In the Chaos Army you can only be killed the same way you had before, or by someone from your home planet finding out your identity. Beckendorf was lucky he had been away at the time, and Leo was lucky he was fireproof, and that there was no sleeping Earth Goddess being blown up, just a dragon.

Luke looked at me, "Leo?" He asked.

"Probably Leo." I confirmed.

"Should we check it out?"

"Probably."

At that moment Beckenforf ran in. "I heard an explosion! Where's Leo?"

Silena ran in after him, "Calm down, Charlie! I'm pretty sure Leo is in the workshop!"

"That's the worst place he could be! Last time he was in there he blew up Festus 2.0!" Beckendorf yelled.

Zoe and Bianca ran in, dragging an unconscious Calypso. Michael, Castor, and Ethan came in. Now the whole Alpha Division was here, minus Leo.

"What happened to Cal?" Luke asked, looking at Calypso.

"She was walking by the workshop when a piece of metal hit her in the head." Bianca explained.

"Flying metal?" Michael asked, "That can't be good."

After a moment of staring at each other we ran for the workshop.

Leo Valdez / Festus

I didn't mean to blow up the workshop...again. I was just trying to recreate Festus 2.0, since it didn't work last time. And just my luck, I blew up the workshop.

Metal was still flying around everyehere and I had to duck every five seconds. Chaos would be mad.

The door flew open and the Alpha Division, minus Cal and Michael, were in the doorway, staring at me and the mess I made.

I waved nervously, "Hi guys."

Many things were said at once.

"LEO! WHY DID YOU BLOW THE WORKSHOP UP AGAIN!" I think that was Beckendorf.

"Chaos will be mad." Zoe.

"Very mad." Of course the former hunters agreed.

"Let's just blame it on Leo." Luke

"It was already his fault dummy!" Percy, huh never thought I'd hear him call Luke dummy.

The Alpha Division had made a thing where whenever something goes wrong, blame it on Leo.

What did I do to them?

I mean, I blew the workshop up twice now, stole Michael's bow, "borrowed" Luke's sword (he punched me), told Bianca that Nico was here when he wasn't  (her reaction was worth it), told Chaos the team was taking a break as a joke, accidently burned down Percy's room once, stole one of Zoe's knives (never do that), told Silena that Beckendorf was breaking up with her as a joke (don't do that either), made a shelf of books fall, almost crushing Bianca (but Percy was there and saved her), hid the blue food dye from Percy, and told Chaos the army forgot his birthday.

I barely did anything to them!

But when something goes wrong they all say, "It was Leo!"

So unfair.

Zoe decided to actually be nice, "You okay Leo?"

I was about to respond when Luke said, "Well, he's not dead."

"And fireproof!" Percy added.

I glared at the two and turned to Zoe, "Yeah, I'm fine. But Festus 2.0 isn't."

Beckendorf sighed, "What about Festus, the original, what happened to him?"

I shrugged, "Dunno. Probably found his way back to camp or something."

Luke nodded, "Then why not wait until we go back to Earth for a mission and bring him back with us?"

Ohhhhh, Lukey had a good idea! I nodded enthusiastically, "Do you think we'll ever get a mission in Earth?"

Before anyone could respond, the door flew open.

"IT WAS LEO!" Everyone but me yelled, expecting Chaos. But instead there stood Emma Lockwood, a daughter of Hades, who was a former Hunter and now a warrior in the Beta division. She looked confused, "I'm nit even gonna ask about this. I was sent to tell you Chaos has a mission for you."

We all ran for the door  in a huge mob. Emma had to step out of the way to avoid getting trampled.

"He's in his office!" Emma yelled, and our huge Alpha Division mob turned and continued running to Chaos' office.

Thing to learn from this chapter: When something explodes yell: "IT WAS LEO!"
