Operation: Absolute Chaos - Chapter 1

Josh's P.O.V

I was glad that we had a quest to do. We are going to find the seals of Morpheus and Hypnos. I had no idea what is that.

I was assigned to work with the quiet global [relax, Global. Don't kill me.] Even though she is quiet, she is very capable of defeating the best of the best. She even took me into prison in Capture the flag most of the times. It looks like I got to watch out for her while in capture the flag.

Now we were heading out to Templo Mayor beneath the Mexico City itself.

I decided to take the trip with a plane, since none of us were children of poseidon.

Global is being quiet almost all the time.

"So Global, first time going to Mexico, eh?"

She looked at me, shrugged and shook her head.

Wow, it's a little difficult to get along with someone who is always quiet. I always talk when we were in a quest, this time it felt strange.

Finally, she tugged my hand. "So, where are we going?"

"To Templo Mayor, beneath Mexico City." I brought her my map and showed her the place with my small hands.

She grabbed my hand and made me point to the Templo Mayor. "Yep, there's where we are going."

Just then, the plane is about to depart in about 40 minutes. Me and Global scanned the bags into the scanner.

We passed through the security, and I decided to have some water.

Oh, you must be wondering how I can have water passed through the scanners. It's easy and simple. Just put your snacks into the metal container, and then close it and the X-ray scanners won't be able to detect the water bottles passing through.

I took a few gulps from the bottle, and Global gulped hers. Then we threw the bottles into the trash can and I manipulated the mist so that no one would even remember we had drinking bottles.

Just then, the plane is boarding. I took Global's hand and we went into the plane.

While in the plane, I wished I could take an easier method of transport, instead of this mortal plane. This thing wouldn't go any faster than a mach. The only reason I am taking this route is because Global liked to be in a plane.

I sat down beside global and tried to talk to her. But whenever subject I threw at her she just nod or shrug, or only spoke a few sentences. This is boring, I thought. I decided to meditate.

I thought about Chaos taking revenge. There should be something that we can do to stop it, but stopping a being that is more powerful than the protogenoi would be close to impossible.

I thought about my friends. I thought about their safety, I hoped that team Beta had a safe journey to the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

Then I thought about the team Gamma defending the base on the camp.

After a few hours of meditation, I opened my eyes and looked for Global. She isn't on her seat. Bad thoughts started to flood through my mind. What if Global is kidnapped? What if Global was wondering around?

I shouted. "Global??? Globaaaalll???"

Then an invisible hand tugged took my hand, and Global appeared beside me. I sighed. "Oh, thank god it's you."

Global giggled. Even a quiet person can pull off a trick like that. I was about to get a heart attack.

A few hours later, we arrived at Mexico. I look around again, to make sure that Global didn't go invisible again.

After we got out of the Mexico Airport, we decided to look for a taxi. This is truly boring. My partner doesn't like to talk and I can feel I am getting more mute every second.

But I know that she will be a challenge to my friendship. I realized that this is just a challenge, to meet new friends, to adapt.

After a while, I decided to take a taxi. I showed him the address. "Templo Mayor, please."

The driver agreed, and he drove.

As we drove, I chatted with the taxi driver, and Global too.

"So, where do you think the Templo Mayor is?" I asked her.

Global pointed at the northern part of the map, and I understood.

Just then, I heard a scream. It's the scream of Alexandra and Andrew.

Now I had known Alexandra James for such a long time, and I know when she is in trouble, and she is in fact in deep trouble now.

"Alexandra!" I shouted.

Global was about to follow me when I held my hand up.

"Global, stay here." I looked up at her silver eyes. "Now, if I don't come back in 5 minutes, come and get me, ok?"

Global nodded, as I ran towards the building. I looked back at her to see if she follows me or not.

Then I began to enter the building.

I heard Alexandra screaming in pain, and I came to rescue her.

But why would Alexandra crash in a place that is on exactly opposite sides of the earth?

Just then, I realized that this is the lair of the cyclops. Alexandra's voice is just an imitation made by the cyclops.

I bolted downstairs and saw a cyclops. I slashed one and it disintegrates. Looks like Chaos hadn't guard this place well.

That didn't turn up too well when another cyclops hit me in the head and I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was hanging from a ceiling, tied with ropes, my hands are tied behind my back and I was gagged. I looked around for global, but I sensed she is still outside of the building. I guess the 5 minute mark hasn't ended yet.

One of the cyclops approached me. "Well well..." They said. "What a nice meal!"

I whimpered, and they laughed.
