Instead of a prank

Y'all will get a chapter that may not be canon yet but might be in the future. Notice I wrote this in google docs bc I was bored at school, so there may be a few scrapped things and stuff. Imagine this as not canon to the au please (also if canon, they would be two separate chapters that were back to back)

Quinn

Promises are meant to be kept.

Mary promised she would return with help. That selfish child of Tyche. She still hadn't shown up. Where was she? Most likely, she ditched. The camp needed as much help as possible to win this. The battle raged on. Quinn breathed heavily.

"When are reinforcements arriving?" Reza, a son of Ares, asked as he drew his sword. "No clue." Quinn replied. "Four other campers are gone as well." William said. "Just great. Who's missing?" Quinn asked. "Two campers from Hermes, a child of Dionysus, and the head counselor of Athena Cabin." William reported. "We need names, Will." Reza snapped. "Lukey, Elaina, Nikolai, and Rosalie." William blurted.

"Oh gods..." Reza muttered. "Exactly.." Quinn says. "I mean, I'd expect this from the others, but Rosalie was loyal. Maybe she's just bringing them back?" They pondered. "Jamila has an iris message connection." someone called. The local daughter of Hades, Kiryomi, ran up to them. "Come on!" She said and dragged them to the Athena cabin. Inside were a few Athena kids, strategizing as their siblings were carrying out their plans on the battlefield.

Jamila, the newest camper to join, sat on her bed, attempting to iris message someone. "This is my last drachma. I have to make it count." She said to them. Jamila threw it into the mist. A hologram glitched for a second then showed the missing campers. "Lukey! Elaina! You guys need to come back! The camp's under attack!" She exclaimed. Jamila then noticed three others. "Oh thank the gods they are okay!" she squealed. "Not really considering we are fighting for our lives right now," Elaina said. "We have backup arriving soon, it's just a few obstacles."

The iris message fizzled out. "They're on their way!" Jamila said. "That's great!" Quinn shouted. Relief lit up their eyes. "Quinn, Reza, Jamila, help me look for the injured," William said. "I have some healing knowledge but Bailey is best at that."

They gather injured campers and bring them to the Apollo cabin. Quinn saw someone barely breathing. They ran up to them, realizing just then it was Liling. "No.." Quinn says. "Please. Lili. Please. Please get up." They pick her up. "...oh hey Quinn..." She smiled. "You're going to be okay.." Quinn reassures, but it's unclear if they are reassuring Liling or themselves.

The Apollo cabin's door was flung open. "Bailey.. please... Please help." Quinn said. "I-I'm fine.." Liling stumbled to her feet. "Don't lie to me about your health," Bailey said, immediately grabbing supplies to help. "Quinn, go wait outside and bring more patients." She told them. "..okay.." They said, looking worryingly at Liling.

Rosalie

The camp entrance was finally cleared. They hurried. "Oh my..." Elaina gasped. "I...I can't believe it.." Nikolai said. Lukey was too afraid to even say anything. They all stared out at the camp. Fighting and raging across it. "You see this, right?" Rosalie suddenly asked them. "Of course we do. The only place I've ever felt safe is being invaded!" Lukey exclaimed.

"Hm, that's true. A long time back when you first came here, you were escaping the clutches of death, were you not?" Rosalie said. "Well, yes, but-" Lukey started. "Now isn't the time for memory lane!" Elaina insisted. "And when we found you at that horrible orphanage and brought you back with us? Camp went out of its way to make you welcome." Rosalie said to Elaina. "I...I guess..." They reply.

"And Nikolai, you may have been here for some time, but you always tell the story of the other demigods that came with you. Don't you think they would want the camp to remain standing as it was when they first arrived?" Rosalie asked. "...Mhm." Nikolai answered. "Well? What are you idiots doing standing around and listening to this stupid monologue?! Let's go defend the camp!" She shouted and pulled out a sword.

They all run onto the fields and dove into the action. "They're back!" Jamila, another child of Athena, squealed. Before Rosalie could say anything, harpies that were not from the camp started clawing at her. She swung her sword at them, but was too blinded by talons and feathers. Rosalie attempted to hit them with her sword when they were suddenly gone. In their place were farm mice. Four people stood there.

"I...I did it!" A boy with black hair and a striped shirt said. "Good job." A tall girl with black pigtails smiled. The two others fist bump. "...Thanks Alex." Rosalie said and stood up. "And I see you finally brought backup. Nice." She said to the girl. "Yeah.. it took forever. Luckily I ran into Natalia and Carlos." The girl nodded, then pointed to the other two.

Quinn ran up to them. "Mary? I thought you ran away." "...yeah, I can see that happening, but nope. I didn't," Mary said. "I did, however, run into these three. Alex, son of Hecate, Natalia, daughter of Nemesis, and Carlos, son of Nike." She introduced. Alex smiled, missing one of his front teeth likely from a battle on the way here. Natalia shrugged. Carlos waved. "Alright, we'll formally introduce them later. Good to know you all are okay." Quinn said, nodding at Rosalie.

They all stop as they feel the ground rumble. Skeletons crawl from out of the ground. The group turns and sees a giant three-headed dog. On the dog, there was Kiryomi, daughter of Hades, along with a group of people with purple and gold shirts. "Oh. We're here." She says.
