Percy Jackson and the Return of an Ancient Enemy

Peace with a Glimpse of War

Training....

That's what most demigods do at camp Half-Blood. The only place safe for demigods. Or so they thought... Now they are joined by Camp Jupiter the Roman Camp for demigods, because Camp Half-Blood is for Greeks.

After the Gaean war, the 2 camps were connected and surrounded by one border thanks to Hepheastus and Hecate, the god of workmanship and the goddess of magic.

Percy's POV

Yeah we're training. All seven of us including Nico who decided to stay year round. We're training with a method called duo duel in the sunset. A person has to team up with another person and face another team. When we brought this method up in a roofless room, Annabeth called, "Piper!". Nico called,"Hazel!". Frank called, " Valdez!". And I called out, "Jason!"

We started off facing Hazel and Nico.

"You're going down Grace!" Nico yelled.

"You wish, Bone Face!" Jason yelled back.

"Never call me that AGAIN!" He yelled and took out his Black Stygian Iron sword.

Jason took out his imperial gold sword. Hazel unsheathed her spatha, and I uncapped my Celestial Bronze sword Riptide.

I charged at Nico who blocked my first strike. Then he struck at my neck where I ducked in time, taking that opportunity to tackle him by foot. He fell and I stuck the point of Riptide right at his throat.

"Ready to give up, di Angelo?" I asked.

"Dream on!" He replied and shadow traveled using my shadow, appearing right behind me.

My reflexes worked double time and I used the hilt of my sword to hit him hard on the head. Sadly, his reflexes are working too and he ducked to the back, limbo style. Then he did a backflip somersault, kicking my sword in the process.

I know Riptide will show up in my pocket sooner or later, but I need to defend myself now. Nico slashed his sword at my feet and I jumped but he bravely punched me in the chest making me fly one foot backwards.

He pointed his sword up my throat and asked, "Is that all you got Jackson?" I simply shook my head and put my hands behind my back. I concentrated and the water bottles behind me shook and fell, pouring out all the water. I controlled it to shoot Nico straight in the face.

I jumped up and uncapped my sword. I slashed at his neck and I did the same trick tackling him. But he ducked down and did a front flip somersault landing behind me. I kicked him backwards in the stomach making him fall.

I pointed my sword up his throat and looked at Jason. I saw no one! Then I saw a hole and knew that they had fallen in there.

I looked back and Nico was gone too! Then I saw him running towards the hole. I followed him there and jumped to the hole with him.

Jason's POV

I charged at Hazel only to be tripped over by precious gems. I landed flat on my face and she pointed her spatha up at my neck.

Styx! I thought. It was the beginning of the game and I was already losing. I need to think of something, fast.

"Give up, Grace?" She asked.

"Fine!" I said lifting up my hands doing a circling motion, " I give-"

The next word was cut by Hazel's shrieking because by doing the circling motion, I have created a whirlwind to lift her up to the height of a tree.

"Give up?" I asked.

She simply shook her head and suddenly the ground where I stood opened up and I was swallowed inside it.

I landed on my foot and saw Hazel's figure right in front of me. She ran away.

Me, being a gentleman said a few Latin curse words and cried out, "Come back here coward!" Then I ran after her. Yup, totally gentleman-like.

I followed her left, then right, then straight, then right again. Finally I arrived at the entrance of the Labyrinth.

I saw her walking in and I had no choice and followed her. My first enemy was the Minotaur. 12 seconds and it was turned to ash. I walked some more to find two vampires. I turned them to ash too. Then I saw Hazel's back. I caught her arm and ready my sword to face her face. I spun her around only to find an empousa staring at me.

"Oh my gods!" I yelled. The empousa slashed at me but it was too late. My sword was already 20 centimeter from her face so I did what I had to do and she turned to ash.

Suddenly out of the shadows a creature came up behind me and tackled my foot making me fall. The figure stepped out and revealed a smirking di Angelo.

"Styx Nico! You scared me half to death!" I cried.

Suddenly, another thud was heard and Nico said, "Styx!" before he was kicked on the back, but he rolled over me and stopped in a kneeling position with his sword unsheathed.

The figure was in the shadows so I can't figure out who it is. Nico slashed at him, but whoever it was is a good fighter. 10 seconds later Nico was back on the ground surrendering.

"Come on Grace!" He said. It was Percy and I took his hand and stood up.

Suddenly another voice was heard, "Knock, knock boys, I just knocked you out!"

It was Hazel and we two heroes took her down in about 4 seconds. When we went back up, no one was there and a note was sticking on a bleacher.

It says: Come on guys! Emergency meeting at the Big House!

Without another word Nico took Hazel's arm and shadow traveled her there and I took Percy's as I flew him there.

"Chiron, you called us in here, what for?" Percy asked.

"Rachel believes a war is coming, she has been told that in a dream. But the prophecy cannot get to her because it was long lost in time," Chiron said.

"So you called us in here because there is a Super Mega Huge Prophecy coming our way and we need to prepare more and train more in order to face it?" Leo asked.

"Yes you read my mind exactly, except I would rather call it the Supreme Prophecy rather than the Super Mega Huge Prophecy,"

Everyone let out a chuckle or a laugh, but it all stopped when Leo did something...
