Antaeus's BloodBath: Prologue

Third Person's P.O.V

The Base of the Center of Light is gleaming in the sunshine. Its 2500 square kilometers area makes it a very distinguishable feature, even when looked from such a distance. The floating base is accelerating steadily across the city of New York, with its photonic stabilizer on the circular rim of the base.

It has been about 3 years after the Center of Light and Dark Circle conflict, and Center of Light base is utterly destroyed. Some went back to Camp Half-Blood, while some decided to stay and help build this humongously huge base.

Everything looks normal, and the base is just as dazzling as ever. The thermal cannons are in place, the generators are in place. The C Cube and The Solar Powered Reactor are in place.

Anyways, Josh McLean, the leader, have detected strange readings on Mount St. Helens, which is also known as Mount Edna. Apparently, the half-giant Antaeus has somehow reformed after Percy killed him in The Battle of the Labyrinth.

Now, this half-giant has gained mysterious powers. Apparently, he has found a way to develop immunity to air attacks and also as water. This way, he can't even be harmed by anything. This has led to people getting enslaved and beaten by the now so called invincible Antaeus.

Antaeus has now ordered people from the underworld to battle to the death, in favor for another chance to live. But not many people do live, since the bloodbath always leave at least 1 person standing in victory, and the aftermath, the whole arena is turned to a pool of blood.

Anyways, Antaeus would like all the people that reside around Mount Edna to pick at least 100 contestants to enter to the bloodbath, and 20 people to enter fight to the death arena battles. If there are no volunteers, then the players will be selected randomly, dragged out of their houses in order to honor the games.

Every week, one hundred people are forced into the arena, fighting and killing people, trying to survive and come out as the last man standing.

Some people, when they see the first kill, they are terrified, and it is this that makes them an easy prey for veteran warriors.

Oh wait, did I forgot to mention that there are veteran warriors? Veteran warriors are experienced people in combat who doesn't have any emotion. Such person are called 'numb'. They only live to fight, not fight to live. Most of the time, a veteran warrior would emerge as a victory.

Josh turned off the TV screen and rubbed his hands. "We have work to do." Josh muttered, as he readied to head back to Camp Half-Blood.
