A.N: This goes out to all the survivors in Japan. They found the strength to go on even with the tsunamis, earthquakes, and two exploding power plants. Not even the gods can diminish their spirits. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, crawl out of the hole you're living in and look at the news.

I am only including this part because it is true and traditional in fan fiction: Disclaimer-I do not own the rights to PJO nor will I ever.

Neptune P.o.V

Jupiter sat in front of me on a grand throne made from imperial gold. He wore a royal blue pilot uniform and a stern expression. There were other thrones (but not as extravagant) on either side of him that were empty. He regarded me with those cold, stormy, blue eyes. I walked towards him and did my best to conceal my anxiety. "Lord Jupiter, we have a crisis on our hands", I bluntly said. It wouldn't do anyone any good to sugarcoat.

He looked down at me with an unreadable expression and said, "And what would that be?" What! How could he could he not have a clue by now?

I calmed myself down and replied, "Polybotes, my adversary in the Giantes War, has rise. I did everything in my power to kill him once again, but I only have managed to have driven him away to Japan. There, he challenges my power by causing earthquakes and tsunamis. Thousands of people are dying."

"Oh, that sounds unfortunate." The monster made to oppose me being loose in the world and causing a great nation to suffer is "unfortunate"?

"It is disastrous", I corrected.

"Throw another island on Polybotes, then", Jupiter said and looked as if to dismiss me. I wish it was that easy.

"I can not do that without the mortals noticing", I said very slowly, "It's time we use another strategy." Gods, I'm starting to sound like Minerva.

Then, Apollo walked up to us with a grim look on his face which worried me even more. He's usually more cheerful and has a sunny personality that would light up the room. "Lord Jupiter, Lord Neptune, my oracle has another prophecy that is important for you to hear."

"Tell us", Jupiter commanded.

Apollo took a deep breath and recited this:

"A war takes place in a foreign land

To prove which race is in command

Child of water against child of earth

Preventing or speeding a holocaust's birth"

It all makes sense now. "That's it! We need to send my son on a quest." Jupiter didn't look happy about hearing that and Apollo just nodded. "Don't you see? Now, is the time to admit that we need the demigods. Hercules aided us in the last Giantes War and your son, Jason, just rescued your wife a few months ago."

"We don't need those demigods", Jupiter said angrily and stormed out of the throne room.

There was an awkward silence until I said, "Apollo, can you get Mercury to visit the Roman camp?"

"We could get in trouble for this, you know."

"Just tell Mercury to be quick."
