Chapter 9
LAST TIME:
Done! I finally finished all of my training for the correct amount of skill a assassin should possess. I also may have surpassed the amount of skill needed for an assassin. I was so greatly skilled that I could be blindfolded, and tied behind my hands, and still defeat a whole army. I could also do the same with a bow and hit it perfectly in its target. I have gotten so good at archery that it rivals Artemis and Apollo's archery combined. I could also shoot from such a far away distance, and still hit its target. Each arrow would split through the other arrow.
Anyways, I have finally done everything that was needed to be assassin. I learned how to be so stealthy, and quiet. I also have gotten a lot smarter through the last centuries. I have gotten so much smarter that I put Athena into shame. Instead of charging without thinking, like how I would do before I joined Chaos, I would think before I would charge the enemy.
I could also master all the weapons ever available from the universe. Varying from swords, knives, daggers, bows, guns, axes, and maces, to other things you could think about.
I can finally receive various types of missions from Chaos, and ever since I received his blessing, everyone seemed to back off a bit when they saw me with my cloak, and a hood over my face. Even Andrew kept his mouth shut and never came up to my friends and I. It was sometimes fun seeing people so scared of you. One time, someone got so scared for seeing me the first time, he wet his pants. I tried to keep in my laughter from seeing that, but I fortunately kept it in.
I was finally doing what I always wanted to do. I would finally protect the innocent and have a purpose in my life.
My new life would finally begin.
NOW:
Percy POV:
I was walking along the damp and abandoned streets of a town on planet Kepler. One of the few planets that can possibly have mortal beings on it, and one of the first planets Chaos has made. The sounds of footsteps echoed through the town. Mine and my victim's. My victim is Victor Van Del. He is one of the most famous slave traders known through out the universe. He is currently running away from me, probably thinking he can outsmart me, or lose me. Well he has to try a little harder than that. I've been chasing him for 3 days now. Usually when I do missions, it's not longer than 1 day or half a day but I decided I would savor the moment and make the victim think he has a chance of survival. Oh how wrong he is.
Victor was sprinting a couple of feet away from me, turning left or right sometimes, trying to make me lose him. He finally turned to a left alleyway. I quickly followed him there, and the alleyway he turned to was a dead end. I grinned to myself, with my hood covering my face only showing my mouth and nose. When he realized he was in a dead end, he turned around slowly, holding a knife in his hands. He was shaking so much, I thought he was ready to collapse right then and there. His hands were also shaking so much, he looked ready to drop the knife. I almost felt bad for him. Almost.
I slowly walked towards him, like a predator, I was making it even slower, to see him tremble with fright. I chuckled darkly under my breath.
"L-look man, I didn't s-sell any slaves, it was all of my f-friends." He said while trembling. I grinned to myself, and replied with an old and dark voice,
"Oh no, Victor, you got it all wrong, YOU were the one who has been selling the slaves, and you caused some trouble for me and Lord Chaos, but no matter." I said, as I was already 3 feet away from him. He slowly held up his knife to me and said,
"D-don't come any closer, if you do, I-i swear I'll k-kill you." I smiled at him, and came closer, not even pulling out a weapon. By then he was already backing away from me.
"P-please I didn't do anything wrong?" It came out more of a question than a statement. When he said this, his back was finally against the wall. He still held the knife right on my throat. I didn't even flinch, when he did that.
"Hmmm, I'm pretty sure you did something wrong, remember that little girl you sold? You sold her when she was only 4 years old! I said getting angrier by the minute. He whimpered when I mentioned that to him. He kept on apologizing over and over again.
"It's useless to apologize now, your crimes has been already committed." I said, as he held his knife a littler closer where it's touching my neck. I looked him straight in the eye, and made a swift movement of my arm, knocking the knife out of his hand, making him a bit shocked and dazed. While he was a bit dazed, I punched him straight in the face, and kneed him in the stomach. I backed up a bit to see my work. He finally looked at me, with a bloody lip, and a black eye. He then said to me,
"Who are y-you." He croaked out, I walked closer to him, now with Riptide in my hand. When I was finally in front of him, I said,
"The end." I said, as I sliced him with Riptide hitting him in the throat, like knife cutting butter. I slowly backed up, and chanted in a special language that Chaos has taught me. I held up my hand, which was directly pointing at him, and continued chanting in the language. When I was finished chanting, Victor's body started to glow, and after a couple of seconds I grabbed my signature black feather and laid it on his body. When people notice the black feather, they know that I killed the victim. When I chanted, and when his body glowed, that means I signaled Chaos, saying I done the deed, or finished the mission. Everyone in the universe, probably knows about me, other than Earth, because I never have a mission there. It's not that I don't like Earth, I just don't like Camp Half-Blood. All the memories I had... No matter, it's in the past now. I thought. Everyone, is practically scared of me, but they don't really know the true me. I have been quite happy than before, when I arrived with Chaos. But, I am now warming up to the place and people that know me, think that I am the most talkative person they know.
I began my trek to my own personal space carrier. When I arrived, I entered the craft, and put the coordinates to Chaos' planet, and put it on auto-pilot. I quickly went to my quarters and collapsed on my bed. I was a bit tired from chasing the victim for 3 days. I rarely got tired because I trained myself to not sleep for 2 weeks, but it has been quite tiring from all the training I do. So I decided I would just rest for a while.
LINE BREAK
I woke up to a beeping sound. I quickly crushed down the sound of whatever was making it. I groaned, and sat up from the bed. Even for all the training I did to make sure I don't sleep for 2 whole weeks, I was not a morning person. I quickly stood up from the bed and went to the shower, and brushed my teeth. I then put on a another assassin cloak. I checked to see if I made it to Chaos's planet, and fortunately we were there. I safely landed down the space craft and exited the carrier, I was quickly greeted by my best friend here Drake, who helped me along the years, getting comfortable around the place.
"I'm guessing the mission was successful?" He asked, I just nodded at him. He grinned at me, and went to go somewhere else. I quickly went to the main palace, and went to our quarters. I set down all of my stuff, and went to the training room.
When I made it there, I found a clean area, and started to do sit-ups. While I was doing sit-ups, I thought about all the things that has happened to me. I thought about how screwed up my life was before I joined Chaos, and all the stuff that has happened when I did join Chaos. The only thing that is concerning me is Tracy. I wonder if she is okay. I hope so, and hopefully she'll find a new family. Without knowing I did about 750 sit-ups in around 11 minutes. I got up from my little area, and set-up some automations. They were all so difficult, that no one but Chaos, and I can defeat this. I quickly got in a defensive stance, with Eternal Bonds at my side. I hold the two swords, waiting for any of them to strike, after a couple of seconds, one automation came charging towards, my legs tensed, when it finally was close enough to strike me down, I jumped on its head, and stabbed my swords in its head, where the automation's head just rolled away, then the body fell down, with me still on top of it. By the time this happened, all of them were charging at me.
I then decided I would go for an offensive stance. I held Eternal Bonds in my hands, and finally charged. I was literally a whirlwind of destruction, as I like to call it. I call it this, because I literally spin in 360s, with my swords out, slashing and hitting anybody near me. I stopped when the majority of them were all taken out, leaving only two left. They both charged me on either sides at the same time,I waited when they were finally able to hit me, I jumped high in the air, where the automations, hit each other, causing both of them to back away slowly. While I was still in the air, I threw down my swords, nailing both of them in the heads, causing them to fall down. I quickly landed down in a squatting position and grabbed both of my swords with my hood and head down. When I was about to leave, Chaos spoke in my mind saying, Come to the throne room right now. It's urgent. I quickly responded by saying, Okay, I'm on my way.
I began to sprint to the throne room doors, even though I could teleport, I would much rather run there for exercise. When I finally made it to the throne room, I opened the doors, to see all of my friends already there, that's strange because I'm usually the one who is there first, and not everyone comes sometimes, so if all of them were here, it means something big is going on. I quickly sat at my throne, which I didn't want, but Chaos insisted. My throne is right next to Chaos's, and it is also the second biggest throne, next to Chaos of course.
"Sooo, what's going on." I asked confused, even though I was a bit smarter than Athena, I was still the same old Seaweed Brain. All of my friends, including me were looking at Chaos waiting for him to say something. Chaos then took a breath, and said,
"I have a new mission for all of you together." All of us gasped, we never ever got missions with all of us together, if so, this is one huge mission.
"What's the mission?" I asked, he looked at me with sadness in his eyes, I was pretty confused by this.
"The mission that we are going to, is taking place on Earth." Chaos said, all of my friends looked at me wide eyed. I was pretty calm about it, as long as we didn't go to Camp-Half Blood. Right when I was about to say something, Chaos said,
"With Camp Half- Blood." Again everybody looked at me wide eyed, my eyes widened too.
Oh shit, I thought
