Mercenaries In Apocalypse.

Diane's expression turned ugly after she listened the transmission. A bad premonition rose in her heart. She turned towards the officer and told him to prepare for combat. She increased the defense of the carrier.

"Captain, the aircraft didn't change its course and is right over the horizon. ETA 20 seconds. " the officer reported Diane.

"Sis we should prepare for battle" Sophie beside Daine commented.

The officers and staff were surprised. They didn't think that a single aircraft can take down their base. They were confident on the bases defense and weapons. However, they were surprised by the captain's response. It seemed that she was afraid. Although the staff was not aware of the enemies background, but they still wondered what might make the icy captain fear. In their memories their captain was always cold and ruthless.

While such thoughts were going to the officers mind, the captain and vice captain already left for their cabin to prepare for combat.

Soon a black Osprey appeared on the horizon.

"Activate the weapons system, let's blast those stupid people." The officer on deck commanded.

A series of rumbling sounds reverberated in the cabin and suddenly everything went dark.

"Dammit, what the hell just happened." The officer asked in a frustrated tone.

"Sir, the entire system went offline. We have lost all power and control. " An agent reported.

"Sir, the doors are locked. We can't open them unless the power is back. " Another officer reported.

In a few moments the entire carrier was locked down and every agent was locked in their respective cabins. The Osprey landed on the deck and the doors opened. James exited the aircraft and waved towards the control tower and moved inside the carrier. Even though the carrier was on lockdown the doors opened wherever he passed. He reached in front of a cabin and the doors opened, inside Diane and Sophie were seated and having a conversation. It seemed that they were unaware of the commotion outside. They felt the door open and turned towards James. They were totally shocked, the sisters hoisted the guns towards James with a sharp glint in their eyes.

James was undisturbed by their gazes and moved inside, the door closed behind me.

"Hello, Lady Diane and Lady Sophie. I am James and have come to talk something important on behalf of the Jackson organisation." James responded in a polite way with a gentlemanly bow.

Diane sighed, she knew something like this was about to happen the minute the message arrived. She instructed Sophie to lower her weapon, as she too lowered it.

"The Jackson's sure are bold. Say, Mr James what is so important that you must disturb my humble abode. If you are here to persuade me to join your organisation, then my apologies as I won't. " Diane spoke to James.

"It seems Lady Diane has misunderstood something. It isn't I who wished to speak to you. It's the Young master who wants to speak or in your words the owner of the Jackson group. " James responded calmly.

As she heard James answer she was totally shocked to the core. It was accepted widely that the Jackson group was an organisation. Thus people concluded it to be governed by a group of people of whom James was the representative of. Even Diane believed so. But after she heard him, she came to know that an owner existed. The leader figure of Jackson's.

James took out an circular device and planted it on the table. The device activated with a hum and a projection of Percy was projected with a hologram. Percy turned towards Diane and Sophie and started to converse.

"Hello, Diane and Sophie, I am Percy Jackson, the leader and owner of the Jackson's group. Pleased to meet you. Since I couldn't explain such things in the invite, I had to send James here. I hope you don't mind. So let's get to the point shall we..."

Percy told everything to Diane and Sophie, the apocalypse, his plans after apocalypse, the devas and everything. After she heard Percy the face of Diane turned pale every second. After Percy finished she took a deep breath and responded.

" Pardon me, Mr Percy but you should be speaking to the UN about this."

"It's not that I don't want to, but you know how selfish those world leaders can be. It's not the issue of safety, but the issue of trust. I don't trust the world leaders. As they say there are no eternal enemies only eternal profits. Those idiots will never stand United in the face of that dreadful threat, believe me when I say so. I know more deeds about those fools than they themselves know. All I need is for you and your sister to join me in my crusade. So will you ?" Percy asked.

Contemplating for a moment, Diane answered, " If what you say is true, how are we going to fight those dreadful monsters."

"All I need is the answer, yes or no. You will know the answer if you join, yourself." Percy soke.

" Please give us some time to think about it. " Diane asked.

"Alright, send me your answer through a message at Jacksons email. I will know. Uncle James, you should come back now." Percy said and the transmission ended.

James left the carrier in his aircraft and after having an intense discussion with her sister. Diane send a message "YES" to the Jackson's.
