Ace looked around as his form grew out of the ground. He remembered every single detail of the camp. But why was he here? It was simple. Gaea had told him to do some spying. He had to see how the camp's progress was going.
"What did you say?" Ace turned around.
"You heard me, my son. I want you to go get those maps Terry has been working on." Gaea replied.
"Maps?" Ace faked. But he knew what she was talking about. The maps for the camps defenses.
"Don't play with me, you swore." Gaea sneered at her son.
Ace narrowed his eyes. He had no reply to that...
Ace sensed someone coming, so he quickly pressed himself against a tree and sank into it.

(Is this like before we went to Paris?)
Claycob was moving slowly through the forest. He heard footsteps also, so he ripped his scimitar out of his chest. He held it in front of him as he came into the clearing. "Who are you?" he said. He knew someone was here, so he figured he'd try to find him or her. "Are you a camper? You should be back there."

(after, I guess)
Ah, he saw him. Ace melted out of the tree, unsure of what exactly to say. What was he supposed to say? Oh, hi, I'm Gaea's son. But I really hate her. And I betrayed her. Then she captured me. Summer helped me and I didn't want Gaea to kill her so I swore on the River Styx that I would rejoin my mother so she could live? Yeah, long and dizzying. He debated on lying that he was a camper...

Jacob didn't recognize this kid. He pointed the curved sword at Ace and beckoned him over. "Are you new?" he asked. "I haven't seen you before."

"I'm Ace.." For some reason, he couldn't say anything else. He found it really hard to lie to a camper. Especially since he was being forced against his will. He gazed at Jacob's sword warily with his dull green eyes. "I just got here." Lie, but not a lie...

"Good," Claycob said. "Good. What are you doing out here? You should be back at camp. It's pretty dangerous out here." He looked nervous. Claycob spun his scimitar and jammed it back into his chest.

"Um, yeah..." Ace turned to go, relieved that he was being let in so easily.

(Woah, not so fast, boy!)
Before Ace could take another step, Shade appeared from behind a tree. His hazel eyes were narrowed. He had heard the conversation.
"I though I recognized your voice."
The sight of his friend made Shade feel horrible. It wasn't his fault that he was on Gaea's side, but he still was...So he was the enemy. His two swords fizzed to life in the air around him.

Jacob yelped as he ripped out his sword again. "What's going on?" He yelled. "I'm freaking out man!"

(lol, man, I was getting away! It just occured to me I was forgetting an important detail...Ace broke his left arm...)
Ace took a step back as he sensed someone familiar. Sensor powers that Gaea had given him. He shifted his left arm in the sling. His sharp, forest green eyes looked at Shade in shock and dismay. "Shade..why are you..."

"To stop you. I honestly didn't think I would see you again until the final battle. So what are you doing here now?"
Shade pulled out his swords from their sheathes. They lit flaming black. The fire running down the blades.
"Claycob, Jacob, whichever one you are, this one's a Gaea's spy."

"This one's" Shade had said. Ace narrowed his eyes at that. He looked between Claycob and Shade. Would he be able to hold them off? What should he do right now?
They're both traitors to me. Capture one of them, maybe. I need to teach them to never be disloyal to me!
Ace felt like screaming at his mother to shut up and get out of his head. He didn't want to capture anyone for his mother to torture. I'll knock them out and get the maps...I dint think I'll be able to manage them so don't get mad if I steal and run!

(I'm joining in!)
Summer(hehe)~
I walked through the forest, trailing a hand on the trees. In the nine years I had been here before, I had almost memorized the forest. It was so familiar...it was like nothing had changed...it was like back when Gaea didn't start rising yet...those fun times where we knew nothing of her plans...
I tensed when I heard voices and followed the sound of them. I ran between trees until they opened up to a small clearing. Shade, Jacob...Ace?! My eyes narrowed. Was he trying to escape again? But he had sworn to join Gaea again, because of me. "Ace! What are you doing here?"

Great, how much worse could this get? Ace didn't see much of a choice. But to hold off all of them seemed pretty impossible. He stared at all three, scouring for options.
He didn't answer Summer's question. What was he supposed to say? "Oh, I'm here to spy on the camps and steal your defense plans?"
Ace was going to really regret this later...but he did it anyway. Did he have a choice? His figure sank into the ground and reappeared behind Shade. He flipped out his ace card which had mended itself. The mark on his arm flashed brightly as the card changed into a long sword. He hesitated. He couldn't bring himself to slash out at Shade. So he turned instead and started running. The maps were in the Athena cabin, right?

Shade snagged his sword just as Ace disappeared. A flash of green light gave away his position. Behind? Shade turned around, ready to block his sword, only to find him looking into his eyes with his sad green ones. Shade was shocked for a second. But as Ace took off, he regained his senses.
"After him! Don't let him get away!"
Shade yelled. He sprang forward and held out a hand. A black flame shot from the ground in front of Ace.

Summer~
Before Shade finished his words, I started sprinting towards Ace. My eyes were narrowed in thought. Why would he do this? What is he here for...?

Ace came to a stop just as the black flame erupted in front of him. He paused just enough for Summer to get too close to him. He turned around with his sword. He faced Summer with pained green eyes. He couldnt fight her. He side stepped and sprang around the fire. Escape was on his mind. Why couldnt he swing out at her? Wasnt she the one that gave him those painful injections?

Summer~
My grasp tightened on the handle of my knife. Then Ace started running again. I sighed in slight annoyance as he started running. "Where are you going?" I called, running after him.

Shade dashed after Ace. He caught up to Summer.
"Don't let him get away. He's here for information on us. I think he's after something..."
He noticed Ace running towards the direction of the Athena cabin...
"He's after the maps."

Summer~
My eyes darkened. The maps? Crap... I put my knife back into it's sheath and slid the bag off my shoulder. I rummaged in there while running. It had been a gift from my father: an endless bag. It could hold basically however much you wanted, but you would have to deal with the weight. At last, I found my bow and half a dozen arrows. I swung the bag back onto my shoulder, then took aim at Ace, still running.
