<The next day...>
Artemis was worried. The four new hunters she had sent out along with Atlanta to supervise them had gone missing a week ago. She couldn't locate them via iris messaging or godly senses.

The conch horn sounded twice. An attack!

Artemis rushed out of her tent to find a thousand monsters bearing down on the camp. Drawing her bow she shouted, "Hunters! Return fire! Seek out the stronger monsters first!" As the few cyclops fell the hunters turned their attention to the numerous hellhounds. Arrow after arrow flew as the hellhounds attempted in vain to get near the hunters.

Finally the hunters ran out of arrows and drew their hunting knifes. The hellhounds glared at them, snarling and growling and slowly circling them. A snap of fingers made them retreat and a triumphant looking blond man strode in front. "Octavian..." Thalia growled, recognizing her nephew on the roman side who nearly destroyed CHB last year.

"Ah the hunters of Artemis. Such foolishness. Surrender and I'll just make you my slaves and you won't die in the upcoming war." Octavian said smirking. "Never!" Artemis shouted. "Very well. You will be the first casualties in the war against the Mother Of Terrors." Octavian said. "Echidna?" Thalia said puzzled. Octavian laughed. "No you foolish girl. She's the mother of monsters. The one I serve is the mother of terrors. But I'll just leave you to my friend Kampé." A large woman with bat wings flew over and Artemis shook slightly. The jailer of the hundred handed ones was here. She dual wielded scimitars and multiple animal heads were on her waist. Artemis noticed three blinking dots in a triangle shape on Octavian's chest. She wisely did not comment.

"Kampé. Finish them. Leave no survivors." Octavian commanded. Kampé spread her wings and was about to flap them when a huge fire ball blossomed in front of her, throwing her backwards. Octavian gaped, the three dots stopped blinked and lines connected, forming a triangle. Energy was heard building up. A blinding light cut through Octavian's chest, a neat triangle going through and through. He crumbled into golden dust. Another explosion hit Kampé and she roared. Drones of engines over Artemis made her look up. The five missing hunters were in the cargo bay of a hovering plane, firing arrows as fast as they could at the shocked hellhounds. Kampé got up and roared just as the plane landed. "Milady. There are more arrows in here come on!" Atlanta shouted from the plane. They ran onto the plane to find bundled stacks of arrows. "Grab on bundle each girls and fire!" Artemis commanded grabbing one stack herself. Her hunters all grabbed one stack and started firing. Kampé approached them. The hunters started to turn their attention to her when a purple blur knocked Kampé off her feet. "Hey ugly!" A woman dressed in full purple armor shouted from the top of a tree. "Fight someone your own size!" She yelled before jumping off and slamming her sword into the ground in front Kampé, creating a small crater. Kampé roared a challenge as she swung her huge scimitars. The new girl jumped over the huge green sword before cutting off the head of a bear. Kampé roared.

"Come on finish the hellhounds!" Artemis shouted and the hunters concentrated their fire on the hellhounds who quickly crumbled into golden dust. The hunters turned towards Kampé, who was being driven back by a whirlwind of blades. All Artemis could see of the newcomer was that she would stop for a bit, slash repeatedly at incredible speeds thrice before jumping at Kampé and turning into a fast whirlwind of blades. Finally the girl retreated back, her armor dented and cut. Both monster and female were breathing heavily. Kampé had multiple cuts and slashed on her body oozing sand. Most of the heads on her body were cut off, but slowly growing back the heads.

"Artemis. If I can get her incapacitated  or at least disable her of her weapons can you kill her quickly enough?" Avery asked. Artemis nodded.

"Well ok. Let's hope I won't be unconscious when I'm done." Avery said.
