"Lord Chaos." I try to sound respectful.
"Ah yes. Young Annabeth."
"Would you, perchance, know the whereabouts of Percy Jackson?" Please say yes, I chant in my head.
"... No." He hesitates though... As heart breaking as it is, I have a a Plan B...
"Then would you let some of your Nighthawks reveal themselves? Some of the camp are getting suspicious." I know this isn't entirely true though. He's silent for a moment, his lips moving occasionally.
"Very well. Some of my team will reveal themselves."
"Will Fluctus reveal himself?" I try not to sound to eager. There's something about him...
"No." He sounds very angry. "He is forbidden to."
***
"Chiron."
"Yes Annabeth?"
"Lord Chaos has agreed to let some of his Nighthawks reveal themselves." He looks surprised for a moment, but he replies.
"Very well. Where and when?"
"I don't know. I'll go and ask them now."
***
Knock knock.
"Yes?" It's Sidius, I think.
"Um, I'm aware that some of you have agreed to reveal yourselves."
"Yes."
"Um, when would you like to do it? And where?" She does that thing that Chaos did, eyes closed, moving her lips occasionally.
"5 minutes sounds good, and I believe that you have an ampitheatre. We would like to do it there."
"Okay, I'll notify camp now. I'll meet you at the entrance to the ampitheatre." I walk off. As I leave I hear the door close behind me.
***
As I head to the ampitheatre door, I see the Nighthawks by the door in a tight group. Most campers avoid them, but some, like Nico, don't. When I near them, they break out of their huddle, and Sidius approaches me.
"Ah, Annabeth. Shall we begin?"
"Um, yes." We walk to the rest of them.
"Okay, Nighthawks. Who is revealing themselves?" Sidius says. About half of them raise their hands. I take over.
"Okay, the rest of you find some seats, except Fluctus. I need him to introduce them." The rest of the Nighthawks peel off, and enter the ampitheatre.
"Right. Follow me." When we arrive at the backstage door I inspect them. Okay, I have Sidius, Emarisii, Pulchritudo and Mortuus.
"Now, Fluctus come with me to the stage. When you hear him, head to the stage. Just follow the corridor." I instruct. We head for the stage.
"SILENCE!" Immediately everyone is quiet.
"Lord Chaos has allowed some of his warriors to reveal themselves. Fluctus, if you will."
"Right. Mortuus first. Just so you know, some of us are-were- dead." I see the warriors arrive out of the corner of my eye. Mortuus steps forward.

"I am Mortuus, Primordial of Death. But on this planet you may know me as... Bianca di Angelo." And she pulls off her hood. I just stare, with my mouth wide open. Bianca is dead, because of me, but here she is! Nico runs towards her and embraces her, while her eyes fill with tears as she hugs her younger brother. Nico pulls her towards Hades and Hazel, no doubt to introduce the girls to each other.

Next Pulchritudo and Emarisii step forward, their hands linked. "I am Pulchritudo, Primordial of Beauty."

"And I am Emarisii, Primordial of Fire and Forges."

"Here, however, you know us as Silena Beaurgard (Spelling?) and Charles Beckendorf." They say in unison as they pull their hoods of. My mind is reeling, trying to take in this new infomation. Clarisse and Aphrodite squeal and run to Silena, while nearly all the Hephaestus cabin run to Beckendorf. The only thing I can comprehend is the fact that Clarisse just squealed. I guess she missed Silena more than she let on.

Finally, Sidius steps forward. "I am Sidius, Primordial of Maidens. But on this planet, you know me as... Zoe Nightshade." Artemis holds her hands to her mouth, as Zoe walks slowly to her former Lady.

"M'lady." Zoe says softly, as she starts to kneel before her, but Artemis stops her.

"No, Zoe. You are more than my equal now. Do not bow to me." 

"Yes m'lady." Zoe says.

"And none of that m'lady business. I said it before. You are my superior now."

'Okay m'l- Artemis." Artemis breaks into a big grin and hugs her former lieutenant.

"Excuse me." I look to the stage and see... Fluctus? I thought he was going offstage after the introductions finished.

"I am Fluctus, Primordial of Waves and Loyalty, as well as a few other things that I can't be bothered to name. This world, however, knows me as-" He's cut off by a flash of light. Chaos appears and everyone kneels, but  he doesn't notice. He looks ANGRY. I glance at Fluctus and he looks just as angry. I switch my gaze to the other warriors, and to my dismay, they look on hopelessly. Heros beckons to me, but as I begin to make my way to him I'm Interrupted by Chaos.

"FLUCTUS!" He thunders. Oh no.

"Yes, Father?" He spits out the word 'Father' like it's poison.

A/N Hi guys. This is for fangirllamajor, as she bugged me until I updated. This is dedicated to Lady_Artemis as she answered the question correctly first. The answer was Atlas. This chapter's question is:

Q:What plan does Athena tell Annabeth to her to operate in the Battle of Manhattan?

Peace out
