The Pegasi Corps: Ch. 1

Chapter 1: I Blow Up First Class
Anthony's P.O.V

Let me say that starting off the rest of your year with an explosion, is not fun. Screw fireworks- I'm talking about total exlposion, TNT style. Yes, I almost blew up on New Year Eve. Yes, I almost got my entire family killed. And yes, I did fly out of an airplane, mid-flight, a hundred and ninety-three feet in the air. Am I, Anthony Sharpe, insane? Ha. You could say so.

It was News Years Eve: December 31, 2102. Fire works exploded in the sky, cars flew about through the airways, and just about every living, breathing being was celebrating the end of a great year. Everyone...except me and my family.

We were on a flight back from Costa Rica. No, we hadn't been there on vacation. We had been there on a very important mission- a drop in, drop out of sorts. It should've gone well...if only my brother hadn't sounded the alarm. Now I'll give him credit where credit is due. The guy is huge. Not fat huge, but muscel huge. My brother, David Karlen, was built like a bulldozer, and was strong enough to be one.

He had a problem with watching his step however, and had tripped the alarm on our mission. We had to abort, due to all the gunfire, and we only nearly escaped- luckily, with no casualties.

Anyway, we were on our way back to New York, New York- home of The Pegasi Corps. Now, let me tell you something about The Pegasi Corps. We're an elite fighter group that fights montsers...and not just any monsters: demimonsters. That's right, bow if you must. [Shut up, Olivia, I'm trying to make this as amazing as I possibly can.]

Demimonsters, the offspring of monsters and humans. Now I know wha you're thinking: Who the hell would get into bed with a thousand pound dog with three heads!? I thought the same thing when I first heard the expression. But over time, I came to learn that the monsters of these human-beasts took the form of humans to have children.

There are many demimontsers around the world. Some are good, most are bad. Now I, personally, have never met a "good" demimonster, persay. There are some who refused to kill us because most of us are still kids...but who's to say that'll stop them all?

My point being, we don't hesitate. We chope theses son of a guns up into monster dust, without giving mercy. Don't think we're cruel beings...that's just the way it has to be. If we hesitate for even a second...we're dead. Boom. Pow. Nothing. Zilch, zip, gone. Itsy, bitsy, hot dog size, monster snacks.

[Olivia's saying that I should get back to the story now...]

Anyways, blah, blah, blah...yeah. New Years Eve. On a plane. Something bad was about to happen...though I knew nothing of it...

I moved around in my chair, the soft, velvet fabric having finally gotten to me. Don't get me wrong- first class is a blast. But really!? Ever heard of too fancy?

I looked left at Olivia Adams who was staring out the window, her Hollowmorph headphones wrapped around her head. Her brown hair flowed down to her waist, her hazel-green eyes sparkling in the night...

[Oh right...Olivia just told me to, "Explain who I am, idiot!"]

Olivia Adams was my sister...well, not exactly. We weren't really related, but we were so close we called eachother brother and sister. Alot of us in the Corps did that, only because most of us were orphaned demigods. Our parents where either dead or gone and, of course, our parents in the heavens were still being complete jerk and never saying a word to us. *ahem*

[Olivia says to watch what I say or I'm gonna get turned into a dolphin...]

Despite us all being one, big, happy orphan family...I only thought of a few people as my brother and sisters...

But wait. Ha...before I get to far ahead of myself, let me introduce everyone. [Ha. No, they're not all here in the room...I wouldn't be able to even record if they were in this room...in fact, I don't think this recorder would even still be working!]

First up we have me, Anthony Sharpe, son of Zeus. I'm quite tall, around 6'2". I have black hair and gold eyes- thank you Zeus- and my skin is tan- thank you Puerto Rico. Ever since I was a boy, people have told me I have a natural act for leading. [No, Olivia, it's not called being bossy >.>] I've been able to fly since I was born, and I get along pretty great with birds...espically birds of prey.

Olivia is next on the list. She's a daughter of Khione, the goddess of snow and winter. I've known her since I was 5, and now we're still alive and arguing with eachother 10 years later. We've always had that brother-sister love, but what makes her so special is that she's an amazing huntress. She's been trying to chase down the Hunters of Artemis for years, but to no prevail. [Hey! I didn't say you flat out failed! Don't punch me!]

David Karlen- my brother- is next. He's a son of Aphrodite, which is quite surprising since he could care less about looks, feelings, love, or chocolate. My brother is obssesed with fighting. His favorite line in a fight? "AW YEAH! COME GET SOME!!!" Despite his unpredictable beserker rages, David is a really nice guy. He's always there to help the guys train, and has a unique sense of fashion that the girls just love. The scariest part about him? His best friend isn't me...it's the spirit of a female siren named Tempest that he keeps locked away in a special vile in his boot...

After David, comes Gracie Redstalk, my big sister. I love her to pieces! Why? Well three reasons. One: She's nice, and super awesome at fighting...well...she is a daughter of Ares...Two: She loves dogs and lets us all keep pets! And Three: SHE IS THE BEST. COOK. EVER. [Yes, Olivia, her cookies are to die for.] Gracie is the oldest out of all of us, being 19 years old as of April 25, 2102.

Right behind her, though, is Matthew Heat. Matt is 19 as well, but his birthday is in the middle of the hot, steaming month of July
