Apollo, Meg and Thor landed right in front of the two tunnel entrances where the entrance to Camp Jupiter is. There were no longer demigod guards guarding the entrance and they slipped in unnoticed.
And all he saw was red and ruin. Blood was splattered everywhere and the once-great Camp Jupiter had crumbled to dust. It immediately reminded Thor of the Asgardian ship and the fire Thanos had left it in. Broken shards of glass and wood splinters covered with pools of dark red blood surrounded them, and the ancient, grand temples that once stood on Temple hill were now reduced to broken pillars and concrete powder.
"No. No. NO! We're too late," whispered Apollo.
"No you're not," said a raspy voice coming from behind them.
Apollo and Meg whipped around, only to find someone. Someone who wasn't supposed to be here, someone who wasn't even supposed to be alive at all.
"You're just in time for the fun!" sneered Ebony Maw.
Lying limp in the air next to him, was the praetor of New Rome, the daughter of Bellona, Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano. She gave Apollo and Meg a small smile, before Maw snapped his fingers and she screamed, writhing and resisting to no avail.
"No. You're dead. You have to be. Strange said you were," murmured Thor in abject horror. "No one can survive the vacuum of space, except for the gods. And you're not a god."
"Perhaps," grinned Maw. "But Thanos has many powers in his control. Including the power of Time itself, the power over Life and Death."
That means...The Black Order...they're all back now.
Meg unsheathed her siccae blades. "It's you. The person who was talking to Nero."
"Ah, if it isn't the daughter of the useless gardener." jeered Maw.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" shouted Meg as she leapt to attack, but was restrained by Apollo's grip.
"Calm down, he's not worth it," muttered Apollo.
Meg continued to struggle but gave up after a while when she knew that her battle was lost.
"What do you want?" asked Thor calmly, but Apollo could see he too was restraining himself from murdering the monster in front of him.
"Hmm...your lives, perhaps?" Maw said, grinning evilly.
"Not a chance." boomed Thor.
Maw raised his hands just as a loud rumble came from behind him, and from behind him, came thousands of outriders.
"CHARGE!" he yelled.
