Hilo guys, sorry for the wait (I think I say this every time I post a chapter)! My dad was actually in the hospital for about a week and was released two days ago. Anyway enough of my long boring sob story, lets get back to the actual story you want the hear (well, it actually would be read right?).

Chapter 11

Third Person POV

The seven used to be a close knit group. They shared secrets, embarrassed each other and themselves, told stories of our demigodish lives. There was only one word to describe their seemingly perfect relationship, they were family and nobody could take that away. They had spent every waking moment together until it all fell apart.

Omega never really got the chance to say goodbye to Hazel, Frank, or Leo before he was tossed aside and exiled from Camp Half-Blood or, as he now like to call it: Camp Half-Hell, for a crime he did not commit. He missed them, they didn't do anything wrong and he should have told them I was leaving.

Guilt seemed to seep into his chest causing it to ache slightly with regret at the sight of them waiting for him at the edge of the camp. Though they were still a ways away from camp the smile he wore quickly slipped off his face and was replaced with an emotionless facade he wore as Commander Omega. Piper, Allagi, turned to him, her expression concerned but her eyes were lit with curiosity and amusement at his change in attitude.

"Jeez Per- Omega," She corrected herself at the sight of the prince's glare, "I apologize your highness, it will not happen again, but what's with the hostile 'Think of me wrong and I'll blast you to bits' persona? A second ago you were carefree and calm, now you're on edge and serious. That's quite the drastic change in attitude, you bi polar?" She questioned elbowing him softly in the ribs.

"No, I'm not Bi Polar Allagi, and you would be wise to speak to your commander in a more respectable tone." He stated coldly, an unknown glint in his eye.

Allagi's eyes widened at the sudden unfamiliar coldness in his tone, it made her question if this man was the same one she knew all those years ago.She looked down at her shoes, unsure of what to say to her new commander.

Suddenly a hand was placed on the top of her head, and pushed it back gently to lift her head. Her variegated eyes met with a pair of emerald eyes shining with mischief. Omega wore Percy's signature lopsided smile, almost a smirk on his flawless face. She took it back, this was definitely her Percy.

'My Percy?' She was surprised at the thought, 'Since when is he mine? Wait, FLAWLESS!?'

A laugh ripped through the air, taking her out of her confusion over her own thoughts. She looked away from her shoes, which had suddenly become very interesting, to see the prince of the universe hunched over clutching his stomach, laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A strange sound rang through the warriors ears as they sat in their very spacious cabin, they had created with a bit of their power. It was a laugh, not any laugh, but the commander of The Army Of Chaos' laugh, the very same man who hadn't cracked a smile in over five hundred years.

In the background a plate shattered as it hit the floor courtesy of a shocked Nova (Luke) who was in the process of making a PB&J. The sound of a metal compact hitting the floor dropped by Beauty (Selena) resonated through the air.

Alpha (Nico) who was twirling his skull ring, a memento from his life as a demigod, quickly made eye contact with Delta (Thalia) who wore a small smile. Alpha couldn't help but smile too.

'Maybe things will turn out for the best here' He thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"O-oh my Chaos, you- you should have seen yo-your face," Omega spoke through laughs. He stood back up, wiping the tears that had fallen while he was hysterically laughing, "I'm only joking, lighten up a bit will you?"

Allagi nodded, not knowing how to react to his sudden outburst.

When they finally reached camp Leo, Hazel, and Frank were standing together near the edge of camp. Omega's chest burned as Leo stepped forward, a worried expression on his elfish face.

"Uh hey guys, mind if we have a chat?" Leo asked quickly looking at both Omega and Allagi.

"Well, I'm going to guess even if we say no you'll still say what you want to so, shoot." Omega replied not a single shake or tremor made its way into his speech. Though he seemed calm he felt quite vulnerable without his hood or warriors. He always remained hooded on missions and only took his hood off when he was back in the palace. His hood was like a security blanket, keeping his identity hidden but also hiding his emotions as he defeated those he was ordered to attack.

Without his hood he was exposed.

He looked at Hazel, her honey suckle eyes watched him with sadness and hope. Hazel had been blessed with immortality a few years after the others at the age of seventeen. Her appearance had surprised Omega. She was stunning, her eyes shone with the confidence that they once had lacked. She looked more mature, older, and more filled out (Awkward to write but..). Though she was physically different her welcoming aura was still there.

To Hazel's side stood the once baby faced Canadian Frank Zhang. He stood tall, no longer the pudgy boy he was, he now had muscle and his baby face was now more shaped and sculpted. His chocolate brown eyes held the same hope as Hazel's. He wore a small sad smile as if experiencing nostalgia.

Lastly Leo Valdez stood in front of the other two. His elfish features still present but somehow more masculine. His scrawny lanky body had grown and his work in the forge had given him slight muscle though he was still the smallest of the bunch. His fiery brown eyes shone with mischief but also were bright with hurt as he stared at his best friend and his newly found missing friend.

Omega smiled sadly as the three walked him over to bunker nine, Leo leading the way. As they reached the cabin Omega couldn't help but feel nostalgic, memories of the sevens outings to the secluded area rushed back at him having been long forgotten. He missed this place and everything that had happened there.

Inside the bunker the decorations that once had been there still remained. Nothing had changed from the rug down to the various height measurements marked through the years (Leo was certain that one day he would be the tallest and forced them to mark down each of their heights a month to see how he was doing in his promise).

They stood in a semi-circle, nobody spoke up. It was awkward to say the least and Omega couldn't take it anymore.

"What was it that yo-" He began before he suddenly found a head pushed into his chest and arms wrapped tightly around him.

"We're so sorry, please forgive us!" Hazel cried ,"We missed you so much! We should have been there, I should have been there! I should have done something, I'm so sorry Percy! I'm so sorry!"

Omega felt something wet begin to spread on his shirt.

'What in the universe is happening!?' he wondered, 'Why are they apologizing? Shouldn't I be the one who says sorry?'

He wrapped his arms around the crying girl looking down at her smiling sadly before saying, "It's okay, you have no reason to apologize, "He looked up meeting the gaze of the two other boys, "None of you need to apologize, if anything I should be the one begging for forgiveness. I left you all here alone wondering what you did wrong and none of you did anything. I'm so sorry"

And with that a broken bond was reformed.

Kinda a cruddy ending I know but this really was just a filler chapter that I used to tie up some loose ends. The next chapters will be better I promise!
