~Percy's Pov~

When I got up I quickly ate breakfast, which was blue pancakes, with my mom. Then on the excuse that I was going to try to get over the Dyslexia matter, which my mom gave me several books for. Though I actually went into the 'Dark Forest' to try and help out. 

It seemed like the amulet knew why I was there and didn't spawn anything. When I got to the base I saw it was still recovering from the battle. Craters stuck out against the landscape, trees were toppled over, dust was still all over the battle-field, and people were still carrying back bodies from the battlegrounds. 

I almost felt sick to the stomach seeing all the bodies being brought in, however, Gamer's Mind held strong and calmed me down. I walked down the stairs, through the halls, and after getting several directions got to the main operations room. 

When I walked inside it seemed like there was a meeting going on, the guy who led me here was leaning over a map, along with several others such as a man with multiple badges on a military uniform, a young woman who was over by a set of computers, and Alexia. 

"How can I help?" I asked, hoping I wasn't interrupting something too important. "Ah, yes, Mr..." The blonde guy who led me here let the statement hang in the air. "Just call me, Hurricane," I said, and yes I did name myself after my own weapon. "Also, I never caught your name," I pointed out to the blonde. 

"Oh, sorry, I'm Ryan," He then extended his hand towards me, which I took and shook. The man with multiple badges introduced himself as Matthew, the woman name was Melissa. After the introductions were done Alexia got serious and explained the situation.

"With the current war going on we need to take attacks on nearby bases set up by Kronos's forces, there are currently 3 Forts near us we need to destroy or sabotage, but we only have enough troops to take out 2 of them and we're afraid that if word gets out that we attacked the other 2 then the remaining one will launch an attack on us, while we don't have any troops to defend." She explained.

"So what are the 3 Forts and who is leading them?" I asked, "Currently there is Fort Sky, Fort Backbiter, and Fort Nokpor. As for who's leading them we know that General Atlas is leading Fort Sky, Fort Backbiter is held by Kronos's loyal lieutenant Mike Loche, while Fort Nokpor was led by Hyperion who you beat in battle." 

"So the goal is to sabotage or destroy?" Alexia then nodded, "My brothers and sisters will be the main force leading the charge." "Brothers and sisters?" She nodded again, "I have several sisters and brothers, not from the same mother but the same father. We all consider each other full-blooded siblings," I would have nearly had a heart attack if I didn't remember the prophecy, the one where I was going to find many to love after being blessed by the dove.

"I'll go and sabotage Fort Sky, Fort Nokpor should be easy enough for your troops to take since it isn't led anymore, I may not be able to defeat Atlas but I will be able to sabotage their equipment," I said, lot's of them seemed surprised about my decision, though Alexia nodded her head in thanks. 

"We appreciate everything you've done, we have some equipment that may help you sabotage the base." She then pulled out a briefcase from under the desk, when she opened it I saw it was filled with jars of Greek Fire, explosives, and a detonator.
