War and Woes

Chapter 2

Percy sat in the garden among the roses, hiding. He blended in with the shadows for the foliage. He sat thinking about how the hell he was supposed to fight a war, and kill a person that meant so much to him. He didn't want to think of losing her, losing another member of his family.

"Hey Perce." He looked up and saw Emm gazing down at him in the entrance of his hide away.

"Hey Emm." He sounded defeated. She came and sat down next to him.

"Safe place to hide, in a cocoon of rose bushes" A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Emm i can't go back." She gave him a confused look. "I can't go back to camp, to Olympus, to earth. I can go there and face them again. I won't" She put a hand on his shoulder.

"Percy i don't want to go back either, but we have to." She spoke slowly as to not set him off.

"No, we could let Gaea win and then get her back to her good personality. We don't have to help them, it's not our war to fight." He looked at her with sad eyes.

"But it is Percy. We are the defenders of the Universe, that are our universe. Do you really want to let all those innocent mortals and demigods die because of what a couple idiots did to you? All those little kids would be ripped from their families to be either killed or enslaved. Do you want that?"

"No, but Emm you know i can't go back their. Everything is just a reminder of my past, a past i would like to forget."

"We will think of something Percy, i won't make you go back there and i won't let anyone else either." He nodded as they sat in silence.

"What did you guys do after i left?"

"Oh, lets just say we won't be getting a warm welcome, and let's not travel by sea." He laughed.

"Oh my gods, you beat up Poseidon and Tyler didn't you. How good did you get them?" He roared with laughter at the thought of his father and brother get beat up.

"Um, with Apollo's help Tyler still took weeks to not look like just a lump of flesh and Poseidon, he fled into the water and didn't come back."

Percy wiped tears of laughters away. "I wish i had been there to see Tyler get destroyed. That would have been great."

"I was satisfying to put them in there place, but if we go back you will not do that. You know the rules, no killing or sever maiming." He sighed. "Percy i'm not joking, i don't like it but you will have to go back. We could give you a different identity, but you would still be going back."

"I know Emm. I just really wish i didn't..." He was cut off by a MM.

"All Rangers to the throne room. Now!" He jumped up.

"Sorry Emm, Chaos called all Rangers, it's an emergency." She nodded and he ran off.

-Linebreak-

He stopped in his barracks and switched into his black and silver ranger uniform. He strapped on his many knives and back up weapons before checking for his pens and ring. The flame traveled into the throne room, the other Rangers were already there waiting for him.

"What is it mom?" He ran up to her.

"War." They all froze. "You need to go and fight, Percy it's Mary's home planet; another dictator has come to power, this one more evil than the the last. The rebels are quickly losing and this guy also has a silver tongue. He has an army of soldiers and other creatures. I'm sending you guys to Kalfa now." They all nodded and braced themselves as they were flashed away.
