AJAX: [A Percy Jackson/Chaos Fanfic]

Chapter 4: The Brat Duels With Me. Yay.

{Ajax POV}

Oh no, I thought. She knows who I am.
Artemis smiled with joy as she approached me. 

"How do you know who I am?" I hissed, tensing up. "No one can see through this hood." Artemis looked taken aback, shocked by my sudden coldness. 

"I just knew it was you..." She said, hurt. "What has happened to you, Percy?" I flinched at my old name.

 "I'm not Percy anymore," I spat the name like it was poison. "I'm Ajax, leader of the Elite Warriors. Now, I suggest you do not tell anyone about this little..er... conversation, if you don't want bad things to happen to you." I then walked away, leaving Artemis confused and concerned.

I happened to walk back to the place we were staying in, and ended up running  into the little brat Jack near the entrance of the cabin.

 "You, me. Duel at 3:00. Arena." He said, as he smirked. "I'm obviously gonna win, 'cause I'm better than you." I rolled my eyes, and pursed my lips. 

"Don't get your hopes up, kid," I hiss. "I'm a trained warrior. I would kill you, but then I would get in trouble with Chaos, and Chaos is scary when she's mad. But I'll accept your challenge. Be prepared, brat." I gave him one last look, and stormed off to the cabin.

It was finally 3:00, and I was waiting for Jack in the training arena. The whole place was crowded with campers, including Chiron. Finally, he came, with the blonde bimbo trailing behind him. What had happened to her intelligence? 

"Ready to get your ass kicked to the ground?" He taunted, and got into a very horrible battle stance. 

"Again, don't get your hopes up, you cunt," I said. I didn't bring my weapon out, as that would be the finale later.

 "Where's your weapon, too scared to use one?" He taunted again, and I sighed. When is this brat going to  shut up? He charged at me, and I stepped to the side. He tripped and fell, his sword clattering to the side. Ugh, pathetic. He quickly got up, and charged at me, again. I grabbed his sword hand, twisted it back until I heard a loud snap, and took out my sword. I pointed both of the swords at his neck. "I win. Any comments, brat?" 

He gasped, and exclaimed, "you cheated! You knew that I was better than you so you cheated!"

 I mentally facepalmed. What the hell is wrong with this kid?! "Brat, I didn't cheat. You were too weak. Now, I suggest you go and get your sorry little ass to the infirmary, before I kick it there."

 He widened his eyes, and ran as fast as he could to the infirmary. The girl stayed behind, and glared at me. "Why did you do that?! You could've let him win!" I rolled my eyes. I'm glad nobody could see me under my hood.

 "Because, you imbecile," I started to say. "He's weak." That's not really a strong reason, but YOLO. Oh wait, I'm immortal. Never mind, forget I said that. 

"You know what?" She exclaimed, her tomato red face becoming shiny with the sweat dripping on her forehead, "I'm sick of you and your stupid team acting like you owned the place." Really? That's her excuse? "Just reveal yourself already!" 

I sighed. So that's what she wants... "No, brat." I said, coldly. "If I revealed myself, there would likely be a riot, and then when we have a riot, that would be the perfect time for monsters to attack, and that's a big no no. And it would be all your fault." I swear, she got so red, I thought she was going to explode. She huffed, and stormed off. Well, someone's mad.

I couldn't ignore the stares I was getting, especially the ones from my old friends, like Reyna, Thalia, Grover, Nico, and Clarisse. They all started approaching me. Thalia was the first to speak. "You sound familiar. Your voice.. Did you ever go to Camp Half Blood? More importantly, did you ever meet Percy after he ran away?"

 I could tell she was desperate for an answer, as she had hope in her eyes. I sighed. I wish I could tell them, but I can't. I can't afford trust. It will just hurt me.

 "No, this is the first time I've heard of a 'Camp Half Blood'," I lie. " I've met Percy. He died, from a suicide mission." Their smiles wavered, as they realized that their Percy was dead. It pains me to do this, but if I wanted to remain who I am, heartless and bitter, then it requires losing my friends along the way.

Hey! I'm hoping you're enjoying the story so far! I tried to add a little Levi ( from AOT) into Ajax, so it would define more of his character. Anyway, I'm stuck with some writer's block, so the 5th chapter might be a little late. I'm working a schedule in, so I mainly post on Fridays or Saturdays. I would appreciate it if you guys left some ideas down in the comments! ~DINOCORN

***EDIT 1/3/19:

The first four chapters are up. I'm currently editing through all 35 chapters, because they make me cringe and I want to improve the clarity of them. Please, bear with me. I'll get all of them up real soon.
