The story of Troy High, begins in Bismarck, North Dakota, with a high school girl by the name of Helen Scall. Helen Is a sophomore at Troy High School. She is the hottest girl in school and also the cheer leading captain. She has a secret. She is a battle warrior in disguise and she can’t get back to where she came from. She is from the planet Zeer. Zeer has been controlled by the Demigods for the last fifty years. Her mission was to leave her planet and come to earth disguised as a girl to destroy the life source that the Demigods live on.
One day, Helen was having coffee at a railroad station when she noticed something. She saw a demigod in the bushes near her chair. She jumped up and took out her sword and sliced its head off. She did this because, where she comes from, Demigods are in a war with the warriors of Troy. When she did this, everyone saw her and she had to flee very quickly. She ran off to her best friend’s house. When she got to James house she had to tell him what she was doing there because he wasn't supposed to have anyone over while his parents were gone. Helen told him a big lie that she was running from a guy that wanted her money. James believed her. Suddenly they heard a great noise outside Jame’s house. It was a bunch of demigods trying to knock the door down.
When Helen looked out the window and saw the demigods approaching the house, she transformed in to her battle armour suit. James was shocked that she was a warrior. He couldn't even talk. When Helen walked outside she was instantly covered in Demigods.
