Chapter 1

May's POV

"How long is this tunnel? I swear we've been going through this for an hour!" I complained hearing my echo 3 times through the stupid cave. The labyrinth looked just like a cave; it was no wonder why people couldn't find it easily. Same dirt pounding underneath your feet, same sound of bugs and bats possibly in the cave, and same long boringness except for the fact that the whole place wasn't dark.

"This isn't exactly the maze you find on the back of the cereal box," Lisa shrugged stretching slightly. I mimicked and Felicity stood there watching us. Truthfully, I wasn't really tired. My newfound muscles made me feel like I could run for a mile, do 1,000 pushups, 1,000 sit-ups, and a kilometer in one go. I was just bored of walking and walking and walking and walking…

"Is that you guys?" A disgusting voice sent Goosebumps up my arms. It was Jimmy's male voice accompanied by Drew and Simon. Only they were walking on the ceiling upside-down!

"I guess this place defies gravity. Not really much of a surprise, but it makes this place a bigger pain in the butt. I bet this place even thinks physics are too mainstream," Lisa said sounding like an internet nerd.

"What is up with this place?" I kicked the wall and the ground we were standing on started shaking. I tried to grab anything that was looked like it would hold, but there wasn't anything except bare cave wall.

"May, what kind of monstrous strength did you kick that wall with?" Drew's teasing voice yelled from above. I growled probably making me more beast-like in comparison. The walls and ground shook and crumbled and finally breaking apart leaving us fall through the air and onto the other side where the guys were.

"I knew girls fell for me, but not literally," Drew joked making another beastly growl leave my throat. I got up ignoring his extended hand and dusted cave off of myself. Lisa got up and aided Felicity oblivious to Simon's extended hand that somehow found a way to scratch his back. Jimmy pat his awkward stiff back holding back a snicker.

"Look, the ceiling's repairing itself!" Lisa's pointer finger aimed at the ceiling. Honestly, if I have to watch this place make any more weird surprises I'm going to...to…I don't know, but it's not going to be pretty.

"I guess we're sticking together?" As if it were some kind of magic phrase the labyrinth divided into 6 tunnels each identical.

"Whoops. Jinxed it, didn't I?" Lisa laughed ironically. We each entered a diverse tunnel. Not exactly smart. I know. Although, we did figure it'd be the fastest way to find Marina. Just thinking about how she could be in desperate danger I started running. Okay, so jogging was actually how most people would describe it, but for some reason I felt really lazy and obese.

My arms were even starting to get really heavy and I didn't ever remember my arms being so thick and since when did I start not being able to lift my arm? I felt so heavy and suddenly I dropped on the floor my stomach first and my head unable to even touch the ground. Weirdest trip of my life, it didn't even hurt. I stumbled and even tried to grip the cave's dirt wall.

My pits even started to sweat through my red shirt. Gross. My greasy hair plastered my also sweaty face. I have never felt so gross in my life, I'm pretty sure I was morbidly obese. That stupid labyrinth baby was going to have a moist and sweaty bandana around his neck as a death sentence.

"I wonder if anyone else is feeling as gross as I am right now," I said trying to fan myself a little as I felt my butt even start to sweat slightly. My squishy shoes sloshed on the ground as I walked through the surprisingly heat wave going on through the cave tunnel. It was final my bare hands are going to break that baby's wind pipes and then I was going to dump my bucket of sweat on his grave.

My panting started to make my throat burn and then I saw a bright light ahead. I ran, well, whatever you call my running that was painful with my bloated knees and low stamina. My heavy footsteps hit the floor making ugly pounding sounds that was heard as mini earthquakes. It took a good 10 minutes or so, but I made it to the light. At least I had until the ground beneath me turned into a sloped slide and I rolled down. I heard the same childlike voice echo through, "You're not getting past looking like that." Cue the stupid idiotic laughter from that stupid wannabe cupid.

The ground was back to a flat surface and I was back to walking through feeling fat, but slightly less. I was still covered in sweat, my footsteps still creating mini earthquakes, and all the usual. I know that I was being way too dramatic about being fat, but no, I actually disagree. Being morbidly obese is when you know you should lay off the McDonald's to at least only once every other week and not every day.

I trudged to the light again and dropped. Repeat it about 7 or so more times, but by the 4th time I was starting to feel like myself again, so it was beginning to feel like a total breeze. Angry-making? Yes. Tiring? No.

At the 8th time I was completely like myself again and covered in perspiration. Deodorant, perfume, or even cologne would be helpful right now or even better a shower. I heard a voice echo through the stupid cavern again, "If you look to the left at the bottom you're going to find a small brown button shaped like a dirt rock."

I have never wanted to bang my head against the wall as badly as I rammed my fist that twisted slightly in the air against the button that pushed with ease in that moment. The cave opened up that exact same light that had been taunting me to no rest and I finally went through, no tricks.

Drew's POV

I sat at the mouth of my tunnel in case anyone would scream out in danger. Sometimes I just couldn't believe how no one else would think of things that don't kill us all in a crazy suicidal attempt. As amazing as my plan was, it was flawed. The stupid ground moved so fast I barely had time to stand up before I was in the middle of the cave. A cave of dark green goo, for a cave everything was pretty well lighted.

"What the crap is this?" I gently poked my foot in. It started to gurgle and made a large goo hill.

"MUK!" The dark green glob didn't look excited that my foot was in its mouth. Although, I figured this cave was special I really didn't think that shiny Pokémon would be located here too. That wasn't even half of it; there was about 10 just standing near me trying to intimidate me with their menacing glares. All dark green instead of toxic purple.

"I would catch one of you, but I'm not sure a Muk is really my forte," I shrugged. I walked through the Muk trying not to touch a single one of them.

Child's play, I thought smirking. At least that's what I was thinking until they started to try and pelt me with sludge bombs and all the other highly poisonous moves that could easily burn my skin with a single drop. I took out my emerald green sword and slashed at some of the bombs. I called out my Roselia and with the two of us we evaded the Muk cave.

I got through to an opening with my Roselia panting beside me, "Here's an oran and pecha berry. You're red rose is even purple-ish." I took the two said berries out of my bag and handed them to the rose Pokémon. I sat down watching her eat it as I sipped a water bottle. My clothes were just slightly tattered and my shoes weren't looking so hot from stepping through all the Muk. Roselia on the other hand was bruised and had taken a bomb for me, yes, a grenade for me as some would say.

"It's only been an hour since we've entered this cave and I've already almost gotten poisoned. Nice start, now let's hope the others had something more simple," I thanked Roselia for her work and returned her. I wiped the misplaced water at my lips with my left arm and stood up wiping my hands of the dirt.

I looked back watching as the Muk slowly left a trail of slime as they trailed my way. The ground shook again and the tunnel transitioned so fast I couldn't tell if the Muk were still there or not. Then it stopped. The Muk were gone and the only thing left was an empty tunnel.

I breathed in my surroundings, a lighted cave with two pathways leading to god who knows where. I took the tunnel to the left and found myself in a dining room. A plain wooden table in the middle enough to fit 6 people-what a coincidence-with 6 white ceramic plates, 6 brown wooden chairs, and a small kitchen with all the necessities. I walked to the white fridge that seemed to be running on magic since there wasn't any plug. Inside were a few vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, and grains, the whole pyramid.

I took a plain white ceramic cup out of the wooden cupboard, rinsed it, and filled it with water. I sniffed the water and examined it before I sipped it. It looked and tasted like water. I hope it is at least. I waited a minute to see if I had drank poisoned water that was going to kill me, but when nothing happened I sipped again.

"Drew?" I looked over May was sopping wet and smelled like something died. I started to laugh. Did she have to wade through a sewer of trash?

"Don't ask," May scowled. Magically a wooden door appeared and when I opened it I found a bathroom, probably for May.

"I think this bathroom's for you," I teased holding my nose. She stuck out her tongue and stomped into the bathroom mumbling things I couldn't hear, probably naughty things children shouldn't hear. I heard the shower turn on and soft humming. I think she was singing some stupid pop song by some pop artist that dressed like a porn star I couldn't care less about.

What am I supposed to do now? I thought swishing the water around in the cup. I looked at the wooden table. Out of any table magic could make, Mr. Labyrinth chose a plain one that wasn't even well sanded. I'm surprised at how clean the table even was. The chairs were just stools with a back, and the plates were just plain white with a fork, spoon, and knife on top of a napkin. The kitchen was just as boring. A wooden cabinet over a stove with a frying pan and a pot filled with silverware. A white fridge that was one of those magnet ones and a matching freezer and that was it for the kitchen.

I got up going back to the room with two tunnels and wasn't surprised to find 6 beds. All the beds were identical with wooden frames, black blankets over white sheets, and the interesting thing was there was a name on every bed, Drew, Jimmy, and Simon on one side and May, Felicity, and Lisa on the other. This room had a light switch that seemed to run on magic since I didn't really think someone would go through the trouble to wire the whole place. I was pretty sure Daedalus spent a great amount of his time trying to make this the most impossible maze of all time instead of bothering with lighting.

"I wonder what the others are doing," I said. Remembering May I started to laugh. I guess I found my new little entertainment, thinking about possible insane things going on with the others and what was going to happen next, which means I needed to prepare myself. This labyrinth thing was kind of fun. In a crazy messed up way.

Jimmy's POV

I walked through halfheartedly. I barely even noticed that I had walked into a wall, "Ow."

Marina had been kidnapped by some random weirdo and I was supposed to find her. I wonder what my life would've been like if I wasn't a demigod, probably less hectic.

A figure flashed in front of me, Marina. I reached out for her, but she ran off and I ran after her. Then suddenly two of them appeared, then three, then four, then five, and so on. By the time I actually caught one of them I'd already lost count. As dumb as it sounds I hadn't actually seen any of the "Marinas'" faces, so when I actually flipped her around I may, just may have screamed like an 8-year-old girl.

"Oh my heavenly gods you are NOT Marina," As rude as that sounded it didn't seem to take offense. I unshielded my sword and slashed the demonic creature with the face of a sea creature. The face was deep sea blue, gills on the cheeks, fish lips, and beady black eyes that somehow popped out like a fish's.

"Die! Don't ever deface Marina ever again!" I made sure I slashed at every ugly thing in the face. After all, demons were just pieces of evil that escaped the Underworld created by revenge and hate. Glad I said that cheesy line in my head.

I walked on ahead to a gap in the maze. I walked into what looked like an average kitchen, "Um, hello?"

Real smart, I know. In my defense it was a little suspicious and I may have just wanted to rush to the part where some scary creature would be trying to rip off my face. I uncapped my sword and went to grab a drink of water. I found a glass in the cabinet and filled it up and drank. I didn't realize it could've been poisoned until I had actually drunken out of it. I was just trying to rush today as much as I could. Although, it felt really good, nothing was better than a drink of water after you had just killed some monsters impersonating your girlfriend that you happened to have to rescue in some uncharted labyrinth.

"Jimmy? Is that you?" Drew's face appeared and this time I actually looked at his face it was for sure Drew. No one could smirk like him except for Gary, maybe.

"Yeah, why are you here?" I asked.

"May's here too, I think she's still showering," Drew pointed toward a closed door where running water could indeed be heard. I'm a little surprised I didn't notice when I got here.

"Is anyone else here? Like Marina?" I knew the answer before Drew said it aloud, false hope.

"No, but I'm sure we're going to find her. Since when has the Advanced Force failed?" Drew reassured. I nodded, he was right we haven't failed once yet, so why should I be worried now?

"So care to tell me about your little adventure?" I told him about how the unknown monsters impersonated Marina and he teased at my stupidity on how I should've at least looked at one of their faces before just chasing them around. He then told me about how he was in the cave of shiny Muk and didn't catch one, and he said I was doing stupid idiotic things. Shiny Pokémon don't just appear every day and a whole cave of them?! Drew was just an idiot for thinking none of them were his "forte."

"What about May? What'd she go through?" I asked, now, that I'd heard Drew's I had to know what interesting thing May had gone through.

"I don't know, but she came here smelling like a sewer," In the next instant a shoe that smelled like sweat galore hit Drew dead on the face since when did May have such good aim? She was dressed in red PJ's with little Torchic heads and a black tee shirt with a Beautifly on it.

"So does the queen of the sewers want to tell us about her wonderful journey through the poor shoe that smelled like May, poor thing," Drew teased. May threw her other sweaty shoe, but Drew's reflexes were prepared and dodged, but I wasn't, so I got hit straight on the face. Let's just say my face somehow had a trail of dirty water in the shape of the bottom of the shoe.

"Not in this lifetime will anyone find out about that," May hissed. She seemed to be more annoyed at Drew than normal.

"Then can you tell us what's got you so annoyed at us?" Drew pointed out as if reading my thoughts, he seemed to always have that ability, but Dionysius hadn't ever had the ability of mind reading if I remembered correctly.

May sighed, "I guess I'll start from how I got here." She told us about how the baby wanted to play a game of Hide-and-go-seek and when she found him he made her sign a contract into becoming one of Artemis's hunters.

"It's okay, though. My reflexes have become really strong and fast," May said. Drew seemed to ignore that last statement as he went into the shower with his mouth formed into a straight line.

The other three I'll do in the next chapter. Any who like my last story I'll need an editor that helps make my chapter more decent and fix basic mistakes, so I'll take any volunteer. REVIEW (It'd make a nice birthday present, December 28)!
