End of Squad 1 Data Sheet

"Finally the data sheet is done" I thought, my hands hurt from writing so much.

I was just finishing up the last of the paper work on my squad, I had offered to do this ever since we needed to keep a record. I wanted to do this to keep track of our progress, also so they could focus on their part in the upcoming fight. We've gotten so much stronger over the past year, our power has grown exponentially. My squad had complete trust in me and I had trust in them. The upcoming battle was set to be held in two months from tomorrow, so when that time came I knew we'd be successful. The enemy had moved their camp after me and Marcus had attacked them, they had moved their base to Athens so we'd go after them.

I had the hephaestus cabin build us a ship to travel from here to Greece, an airship that could hide us and help us defend against any incoming attacks. It was fully equipped with everything we needed to travel for two months. It had a kitchen, living room, sleeping quarters, a front deck, meeting hall and a stable in its hull. It was set to be ready for take off a day before our date to leave, but the majority of the construction was finished.

"Reminiscing, are we captain?" A voice said, it was feminie.

I turned and saw Emma standing in the doorway of the library.

"Yeah I guess you could say that.." I said with a smirk.

"We leave in eight days dont we?" She asked.

"Yeah.." I replied.

"We're ready. We can handle this now that we're stronger." She said, as if trying to reassure herself and me at the same time.

"You're never nervous.. That is shocking." I said, a smile creeping on my face.

"Yeah.. it's getting late and I'm gonna go get some sleep. Cya cap'" Emma said, her voice weaker than normal.

We've gotten somewhat distant over the past year, but I've always had feelings for her. I had always thought that she was hiding something from me, but I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing. But she never quit in her training so i let it go, i made sure to push the women in more specific areas then i did the men, like their willpower and grit for instance.

We leave in eight days, eight days for Greece. We had to travel by the airship because we wouldn't make it in time if we traveled by foot. I believe something huge is going to happen on the day of the battle, something so big that it shakes the whole core of the world as we know it. He is planning to shake the core of this world, and I will be sure to stop it. I will make sure that his plans will end in failure, he will die by my hands. I looked up at the wall, my mind full of thoughts of vengeance and blood. But I managed to calm down, my mind focusing on the thoughts of my squad. I had to protect them, I made sure that they would be strong enough. For days on end we would train and train, we would fight each other and practice our skills together, we'd become closer than family. They were all like my brothers and sisters, I felt that much was true. But what I also felt to be true is that the upcoming fight will be a tragedy. I don't know how, I don't know why, but I was determined to protect everyone.

I got up and walked out of the main building, towards my cabin and layed down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, my mind racing with images of the past year, all the hard work and good times we had.

That Next Morning

I was awoken by a loud boom, I raced out of my cabin and towards the sound. I looked into the sky and saw a large cloud of smoke, I raced faster towards the smoke.

"Don't move Prince of Darkness!" A loud voice boomed.

I froze, I instantly recognized the voice. It was his.

"Hellman.." I said, my head falling low.

"I know your plans, and I know your planning to come by airship. We will stop you." He said, a cruel smile on his face.

I could feel the cruel, cynical rage boil up inside me,

"Ha..HA! You are going to die by my hands, you sick son of a bitch! Your blood will spill all over your camp! I will find you and I will kill YOU!" I screamed at him.

"Good.. that's just what I want! Come Prince of Shadow!!" He screamed.

"Dark Style: Tempest of Blades"

I summoned my darkness, forming it into blades, and rapidly launching them at his smokey image. Afterwards I raced towards the smoke and found a large fire, with what appeared to be a large hellhound within the flame. I was so shocked at its size, I had to take a step back to grasp its full view.

His head reached the tree line, its molten black skin was decorated in rivers of orange blood. Its skin is as hard as the earth itself, the deeper you go the tougher the skin. I drew my sword and encased in black flames, and launched myself at the beast. When I was in midair, I looked around and saw my swqua was already in action against the monster. I launched myself towards the beast's eye, and sluiced it up as fast as I could, hoping to blind the massive beast. After the beast let out screams of pain, scoring hot lava poured from the beast's left eye. I remembered something in the library, taat large hellhounds can sometimes possess the qualities of their environment, in this one's case it got the two most hard to fight against, a tough skiing that will absorb blows and an ability to bleed lava once received any damage. I had to think of a way to best her without causing damage to the surrounding area. If it's skin was too tough to go from the outside and lava is on the inside of her body, the only area left is inside the organs. If I could somehow figure out a way to get up and past its teeth, I could try and get one of the Apollo cabins to shoot me up like an arrow, but where would we find a bow that big? Then it clicked, if I had Marcus and the hephaestus cabin build me one I could have them do it and have David power me up with wind. I knew that would be the best plan I'd think of for now so I decided to go with it. Once I landed I raced over to Marcus and began to tell him my plan, also telling him that he can leave the field now that I'm here.

"Yes sir! I'll see to the safety of all the other campers while I'm off the front lines as well!" He replied.

"Do that, but first our plan." I said back.

"Yes sir!" He sad and shot away, flames launching from his hands as he shot toward camp.

"Everyone!! Back off! Let me deal with her!" I screamed.

I didn't hear a response, but everyone I could see had backed off. I knew i'd have to go toe to toe with this beast on equal ground, and i wouldn't get the same power from my moves as i normally did so i decided that i'd have to use one of my older techniques to gain equal ground.

"Dark Style: Darkness Manipulation: Black Beast: Hellhound model" I said, my voice returning to the same icy calm as I normally had in my fights.

My darkness began to form around me, it began to take shape identical to the beast standing in front of me. Once my beast had taken shape we began consistently holding the beast back, a huge majority of the damage away from camp. I used my darkness to block any rubble I could and hurl it back at the beast, but even still with such a massive shape I could only do so much. After what seemed like hours of this, David and the Hephestus, and the Apollo cabins came rushing back with a large metal bow, its massive metal edges gleaming in the early morning light.

"JOSH!!" I heard David scream, "I'll boost your trip! I know what you're thinking, you crazy bastard!"

I gave a small gesture, as if saying let's wrap this up.

I leapt down and out of my black beast, raced over and climbed onto the bow and prepared for launch. I planned to shoot past her teeth, and right into her weak point, her organs. I planned to burn them all with a huge explosion of black fire, just before i was fired from this bow I could feel my face curl up in a smile.

"AIM!!!" I screamed, my voice echoing over the flames and carnage.

"FIRE!!" I screamed once I lined up with her open mouth.

I shot out like a cannon, I whizzed past her teeth and down her gullet. Once I slowed down even a little bit I unleashed my darkness, encoating myself in black fire. I could feel her organs slowly begin to disintegrate, the blood oozing around me. I had to think of a way out after I finished the job, so I decided to cut my way out. I drew my blade and began to slice up her organs, I sliced upward until I felt the beast collapse in the dirt. Then I thrust my blade into her thick hide and cut out a gap that was just big enough for me to get out of. I stood on top of the defeated monster and waved my bloody sword in the air,

"This is what happens when you mess with us!" I screamed.

"Hoorah!" The soldiers around me screamed.

I sprang down from the monster, and over to my team.

"Get ready, we leave as soon as possible." I said.

"We have to finish the ship and gather supplies, are you certain?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah, the longer we stay here the chance of this place getting attacked again rises. It's me they want, so if we leave we keep this place safe." I replied.

"Fair enough." Marcus said, "Alright, I'll do all I can to make it happen." He finished.

"Make sure everything is finished and ready for take off. I'll be planning our route, the one with the most supplies and least resistance. If you can get the ship done and supplies for a few days we can get the rest on the road." I said.

"Consider it done." Marcus replied.

"Good, I'll be in the main building if you need me." I replied.

"But first a shower I hope." Marcus said with a smirk as I turned to walk away.

I stopped in my tracks, looking down at my clothes. I saw that they were covered in blood, and smelled like the dead.

"Yes, I suppose so." I said, my lips turning up in a smile.
