The Alpha Team (Sequel to Shifter: The Unknown Primordial)

Chapter 9

"Where are they?" Forge asked, looking around. The others hadn't made it with them wherever they went. 

"We've got to come back for them, but we'll do it later, isn't that right, Umbra?" Bloom answered.

Umbra nodded. "How did you even know I was the real one?" he asked. He looked at the three of them. Only Diva, Forge, and Bloom were with him.

"I can read minds, and I know you're the real deal," Diva replied. Shifter turned to Bloom.

"I've known you for millennia. Do you think I won't know if I see a fake?"

"And I know this world," Forge replied in a hushed tone. Umbra smiled. 

"Yes, I've talked to the primordials here. They told me what happened, and all about you. Why didn't you tell us?"

Forge seemed to contemplate before answering. He crossed his arms and leaned on one foot. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"I'm from this world," He answered.

"Wait, what? I thought you were someone who fell off the side of your flat earth?" Diva exclaimed.

"I had the commander tell everyone that to keep my identity a secret. He also gave me the ability to put fake thoughts over my real ones so you wouldn't find out."

"Then who are you really?" She asked. Forge pushed his hood back to reveal his messy black hair and green eyes. He smiled at Diva and changed his features and height.

"I'm Percy Jackson. I ran away from this world when it betrayed me, and the primordials and the commander helped me," he replied.

Angel wasn't really sure why, but something was off with the gods. She wasn't sure if they were more bloodthirsty than usual or she just drank a little too much coffee this morning. Athena and Ares were actually agreeing on something, ad they were planning on decimating the enemy.

The gods still wouldn't be on the front lines of the war, of course, but they will be watching all movement. Where they're most needed, they'll intervene, but as they said, the Alpha will be in the front lines. She just wishes Bloom was back already so we can get off and just finish this. She doesn't mind being in the front lines but Angel doesn't like being bossed around. Especially when they're weaker than her. After a while, she got tired of the planning and arguing.

"Let's just get this over with shall we? It's just a simple plan. Attack at dawn when they're unprepared and bring Ouranos to the ground and chain him there until someone kills him. It's dawn, so let's go," She said, walking out of the throne room.

"What do you think you're doing? Get back here!" Athena ordered. Angel stopped, made a rude gesture at her, then walked out.

"I'm sorry for her behavior, she's just upset not being with Diva for a long time," Carrion excused. Umbra nodded his agreement.

"We're not even done planning yet! Hermes, take her back!" 

The god quickly flew out, scared of Athena's rage. There were sounds of a scuffle and yelling outside and Hermes was suddenly thrown inside and crashed to his throne. Aphrodite, who was standing near him, yelped and jumped away.

"What was that?!" She squealed.

"Uh, I think that was Angel. I think I'll have to talk to her," Forge said. 

Forge followed Angel outside, with the rest of the Alpha Team trailing behind him. Once they were far enough away from the gods, Forge put down a device and activated it. An invisible field surrounded them.

"No one can hear us here. What is it?" He asked Angel.

"There's something off, don't you think? The gods aren't usually this bloodthirsty, and where are Bloom and the others? I know that they're powerful enough to get away in case they're in trouble," She replied. The others murmured their agreement.

"We need to investigate this," Sierra said.

"No need, my dears," Umbra said, his voice changing, becoming deeper. A puff of smoke appeared and when it was gone, in his place was Artemis.

"The gods want to take over the world. I am bound to them and could not say anything until now. They made me trick you into joining our side in order to destroy everyone in their way so the gods can finally rule," She admitted.

"Then we have to do something about this," Angel said.

"Yes, and we need to look for Bloom and the others now. They need to know this," Carrion agreed.

A/N: I'm sorry for a short and late chapter but I got busy with work and stuff I'm sorry but the next ones will be better I swear
