Jensen Adler's Story

Blood On My Name

The tower stands as tall as any man made construct, it looms over the island of Aeaea, keeping a watchful eye over the island, and standing as a reminder of the Gods presence to the Demigods that take residence on it's shores, and within it's walls no mortal, human or otherwise, has stepped foot inside of it. At the top of the tower, in it's highest inner sanctum rests the Chamber of Council, a meeting place for the Gods to discuss the state of affairs, and other topics that they deem worthy of their time.

In the Chamber of Council, on the first day of the fall semester for the academy, and the day where most of it's students are returning from summer break, on this day Zeus has called forth a meeting. The inside of the chamber is a large, open clear sky with no sighs of a door, or any sighs that it is in fact a room. "I have gathered you all here today to discuss a disturbing vision Apollo has had. Apollo if you will." Zeus stated, his voice being thunderous, and commanding, as one would expect the king of the Gods to sound.

"Right, thank you for such a stellar introduction." Apollo smirked, but was responded by an annoyed groan by Zeus before he returned to the topic at hand. "Well lads, and lasses, I've recently had a vision that I feel like I should share with the group. You know, as the humans say sharing is caring." "Get to the point idiota!" Ares snarled at him, which was followed by a chuckle by Hermes. Zeus shoot a quick glare at both of them that caused them to shut right up. "Anyways, my vision is about the academy, and I believe that it will come to pass soon."

"I saw blood, a river of it. An invasion of Minotaurs, and iron birds. The sky shattering to pieces, and the tower here crumbling." Apollo explained. "What bothers me the most is that it was.....hazy, unclear. It reminded me...." Before Apollo finished his sentence he looked over at Zeus, as if asking him permission to go forward. Zeus gave him a nod to proceed. "It reminds me of the fall of Olympus....it's....as jumbled, and foggy as it was. It was too late when I got my vision about Olympus, I fear it might be too late for Aeaea."

"Minotaurs? That's impossible! They were killed off, me and Artemis made sure of that." Ares stated as he pointed over to Artemis, who merely grunted in agreeance. "And as always Ares you entirely missed the point." Athena chimed in. "This is troublesome. This is obviously related. The question is how. How can these events be related if they are millennia apart?" Athena pondered as she rubbed her chin. "I have been saying it for decades, we need to shore up our defenses! Increase patrols, personal, better weaponry, and equipment!" Ares stated. "If it was up to you dear brother this entire island would become a military compound rather than a place of learning."

"And would that be a bad thing? What are we preparing them for if not to fight in our name?" Artemis chimed in. "War is not something that a civilized people work towards." Athena stated in her ever present cold manner. "Pfft, war is the law of nature. Survival of the fittest, the weak will be rooted out in it's embrace." Ares growled. Before another word could be said shadows suddenly appeared within the center of the room, forming into a doorway that Hades stepped out of.

"Well I hope I didn't miss anything too interesting." Hades said as he took off his red tinted sunglasses, and placed it in his overcoat's pocket. "Nice of you to finally join us brother." Poseidon said in an annoyed tone. "Well you know me little brother, always have to make an entrance." He smirked. "We were discussing a vision I had, about the destruction of the academy, and the island." Apollo stated, bringing him up to speed. "Oh, well that does sound like it may be a problem. Let me know how it turns out for you. I have my own dealings to take care of, the Underworld doesn't run itself you know."

"We must prepare ourselves. Ares, you are correct, we must shore up our defenses. You are also correct Athena, we can not turn this island into a military base, we must not tip off those that work against us that we know something." Zeus ordered as he finally spoke again after taking in everything. "Ares, Hephaestus you two will enhance our defenses, and prepare our security forces for anything that may happen. Artemis, Athena I want you two to help Apollo make sense of his visions. As for the rest of you it shall be business as usual. Keep a watchful eye out for anything that may be out of the ordinary. That is all, you are dismissed."

"Boom! There goes your head!" "No fair, you always know where the rocket launchers spawn! Cheater!" "I'm sorry you suck so bad." This type of talk went on between a young Jensen, and his little brother Nolan as they played a video game. "So where do you want to lose at next? Beaver Creek?" Jensen then looked over at his brother. Nolan was leaning against the wall in the far back, with a large chunk of his shirt burnt off, and a large burn on his chest. Jensen, on instinct, rushed to his brother's side, who was shaking, and gasping for air.

"Nolan!" Jensen shouted as he got over to his brother. He lightly slapped Nolan on his face, and tried shaking him to wake him up. Then Nolan just completely turned into ash. Jensen stood there in shock as the remains of his brother slipped through his fingers. The surroundings then changed around Jensen, now being in a cemetery, and standing over a grave marked with Nolan's name. Jensen looked down, and at the other graves lined up in the row. The names were familiar. Amanda Cartwright, Isaac Herbert, Grayson Foster, Keo Kealoha, Kai Kealoha, and the list goes on. All people he goes to school with.

Jensen stared at the names, especially Amanda's as he began hyperventilating. Panic then began to set in as he stepped away from the graves. Jensen bumped into something, stopping him from moving backwards. He turned around to see it was Zeus towering over him. "It's only a matter of time Jensen. It's only a matter of time before you destroy everything." Zeus said as he pushed Jensen forward. "Like....You....Always....Do." Zeus said as he poked Jensen in the chest with each word. Jensen then fell back into a open grave, seemingly falling for miles.

Jensen's eyes shot open as he awoke in his bed. He ran his hand down his face, and looked over beside him to see Amanda still asleep. Jensen looked over at his clock on his nightstand, it was nearly seven o'clock now. Jensen sat up as slowly as he could, and got out of bed, trying not to wake Amanda up. He knelled down, and pulled out a suitcase underneath his bed, and opened it up, taking out a couple boxes from it. Presents he got for Amanda during his summer break. Though they were all but boyfriend and girlfriend, just not officially. Jensen likes his privacy, and so they're on the down low, though he's pretty sure most, if not all of the students at the know they are seeing each other.

Jensen looked over at Amanda, and let out a sigh. 'What am I doing?' He wondered to himself as he watched her. Jensen laid down next to Amanda, and wrapped his arm around her, and began kissing her below her ear, and down her neck. "Hey, time to get up." He said, trying to give her as pleasant a wake up call as possible. He placed his hand on her chin, and gently pushed her to face him, and then he passionately kissed her on the lips.

"Oh! I didn't have the time to tell you this last night, but I got you a little something over the break. Well a couple of little things." He said as he placed the boxes he took from his suitcase, and placed them on the bed. He opened them up, one contained a first edition Outlander novel, another had four multi color seashells, and then a smaller box that contained seashell necklace. "Didn't know if you had the book or not, I know you like those romance novels so I got it for you. And I know how much you like shells, so....uh there you go. Hope you like them, not much of a gift giver."

Jensen's phone then made a noise, signaling that he got a text message. Jensen leaned over, and grabbed his phone to read the message.

{Club meeting at the usual spot. Now.}

Jensen sighed as he closed out of his messages.

Isaac's head bobbed up and down as he listened to his music blasting loudly as he worked on a circuit board. He worked on the circuit board with a pair of goggles pushed down on his face to protect his eyes from sparks that would fly off from the circuit. He was in his secret lab where he works on his more sensitive projects. Behind him stood several tall figures each covered with a sheet.

Isaac then heard his phone going off, signaling that he got a text. He sighed as he laid his tools down, and calmly lifted his goggles up to rest on his forehead. Isaac flicked his wrist to bring up his text messages. Though to anyone seeing him, if there was anyone around to see him he'd just look like he was spazing out.

{Time for a club meeting. Coming to you. The Thunderer will be along shortly.}

Isaac rolled his rolled. The Thunderer, Jensen. Ugh. How he ever got stuck with working with that idiot was beyond him. Though he did have his uses. He was useful as a power source when he needed a lot of energy, and he couldn't very well plug into any old outlet. And Jensen was also rather strong, almost abnormally strong for a Demigod of Zeus. But still, being the only person that he could really work with was rather bothersome.

Jensen smiled at Amanda, glad that she liked her gifts. Of course he figured that she'd love them. He knew her pretty well after all. "Glad you like your gifts, they reminded me of you." He said with a charming grin. He looked at the presents that she got him, and smiled. "Oh so the shirt's for you? A few sizes too big don't you think? Well, I like it, so you're just gonna have to go topless I guess. Not that anybody would complain Beautiful." He teased as he put on the shirt she got him.

"Sure, I'm but your humble servant milady." He smirked as she turned around for him to put her necklace on. Once he put the necklace on her he gently kissed the back of her neck. "Have I mentioned lately how sexy you are?" He asked with a sly grin. Jensen's phone then rung with another text message. Jensen sighed, and rolled his eyes as he leaned over to check it.

{Get to the clubhouse NOW}

"I gotta run babe." He sighed as he gave her a quick peak on the cheek. Jensen then proceeded to change out his pajama bottoms for a pair of blue jeans. Then opened the door to his bedroom to enter the apartment-like dorm that he shared with Grayson Foster. And as soon as he opened the door Gray happened to show up to drop a few things off in his room, and grab something. Jensen tried to play it cool, but he was slightly embarrassed to be caught with Amanda like that. He likes his privacy. It's something that he likes about Gray, he isn't that nosy, which works perfectly well for him.

"Um....bye?" He said as Gray left as abruptly as he came in. He turned to Amanda with a confused look. "Alright, I gotta go. Got stuff to do, talk to you later." He then gave Amanda a kiss goodbye, and was out the door. As he left a serious face came upon his face as he pulled out his phone to reply to his texts.
{To: Thomas Elliot}
{On my way. Got a little tied up. Nothing to worry about.}

Jensen quickly made his way to the meeting point, a area on the island that most don't know about. Jensen approached a stone wall, and placed his hand on a slightly out of place rock on the wall. A bright blue line swept across his palm that was soon followed by a chunk of rock coming down from the wall to reveal a hallway. As Jensen entered the hallway the doorway behind him closed up.

Isaac sat there at his work station, tapping on the table. "Honey I'm home!" Jensen announced as he entered the room. "I can't contain my enthusiasm." Isaac sarcastically replied. "Where's the Bossman at? From his texts I would have thought this was a matter of life and death." Jensen asked as he looked at the large figures with the sheets covering them.

"Don't touch those dumbass! You'd just break 'em!" Isaac snapped at him. "Well if I could break them then they wouldn't be worth anything now would they?" Jensen smirked back. Isaac rolled his eyes in response. "So what took you so long? Was you with that whore you call a girlfriend?" Jensen clinched his fists, and yanked Isaac out of his chair, holding him up in the air by the collar of his shirt. "You call her that again, and I'll kill you!" He growled at him.

"That's quite enough Dickheads!" A loud, commanding, and Australian voice yelled at them. It came from Andrew Jones, the head of security, and powers/combat trainer at the school. "Lucky he showed up." Jensen stated as he dropped Isaac on the ground. "Alright Boss, what's all the hubbub?" Jensen asked as he folded his arms, and leaned against the wall.

"We need to touch base with one another. Isaac, how are things coming along here?" Andrew asked. "Well it's coming along. I worked through the summer, but I've only managed to get twelve, going on thirteen fully operational." Isaac stated as he gestured at the giant figures with the sheets covering them. "That's it?!" Jensen asked in a mocking tone. "I'm sorry, but building twelve badass machines that are capable of subduing ten different flavors of demigods is rather difficult!"

"Enough! These machines are capable of subduing the demigods correct?" Andrew asked, bringing them back on topic. "Yes, I hope you appreciate the genius in them as well. It was difficult to make a metal shell that is both strong enough to go against a Ares demigod, AND being resistant to the lightning attacks of a Zeus. And let us not forget the fact that I had to prevent them from being controlled by my siblings. It was ingenious of me-" "Carefully Bossman, might get ego jizz all over you." Jensen interrupted him. Isaac merely glared at him in response.

"Jensen, how was your summer vacation? Are the other cells prepared?" Andrew asked, once again bringing them back on topic. "Athens, Rome, and Thessaloniki are geared up. About twenty strong, and able demigods in each, but more are coming in. I gave the schematics that you wanted me to give them. They're getting more equipment in. Helicopters, boats, just about everything. They're be ready when we make our move. Of course all that won't matter if the damn shield is still up." Jensen answered.

"Don't worry about that. The shield shall be down by the end of the month. Just be sure to be prepared for when it comes." Andrew stated. "Right, but the demigods here....they aren't gonna be hurt right?" Jensen hesitantly asked. "Going soft Thunderer?" Isaac smirked. Andrew glared at Isaac. "Fine, no. Our 'peers' shouldn't be harmed, I built my machines to subdue them, not kill them. They should be able to disable most of them before our forces come in." Isaac stated.

Andrew then pulled down the sheet off of one of the machines, revealing a large, nearly ten foot tall mechanical Minotaur. "You better go boys. It's a school day after all, wouldn't want to be missed."
