Everything was finally perfect. Annabeth was on the Argo II, which was going to be at Camp Jupiter within the hour, and Percy would be reunited with his other family. That's when Octavian fired the cannon. There were a few shouts, and several of the Legion members ran towards the shore.
"OCTAVIAN!" Percy yelled, coming up to the demigod who was looking towards the lake in anger.
"Looks closely, Perseus Jackson. What do you see?" Octavian snarled, pointing a hand that was holding a teddy bear at the sea. At first, all Percy could see were the crashing waves. Then he saw it. A ship shielded by the Mist.
"What is it?" Reyna asked from behind him.
"It looks like… a ship. It's doesn't belong to a mortal though… it's shielded by the Mist." Percy answered. "Should I sink their ship?"
"No, Percy. That would be foolish. Wait until they get closer, and we can identify if they are our allies or enemies. In the mean time, go alert all five of the Cohorts. If they are monsters, then we'll need as much help as possible." Reyna commanded. Percy looked hesitantly at the flying Greek war ship, then nodded and ran in the direction of the cohorts.
BOOM! The sound shook the ship, as though it were on water.
"What was that?" Clarisse asked, looking off the bow of the ship, down towards the water.
"It sounded like a cannon." Annabeth murmured, turning to Leo.
"Are you sure that you sent a message to the Roman's?" she asked. Leo nodded.
"One-hundred percent. I think they got it as well… either that or they have terrible aiming skills."
"Nope, they almost hit their target. Look," Annabeth sighed, pointing down. Right underneath them was a large ship- full of monsters. "I thought that this was going to be too easy. What do we do?" Annabeth asked, raising a brow at Leo.
"Hey, what can we do? Grover, do you think that you can contact Percy through that um… excellent link?" Clarisse asked.
"You mean 'empathy link'? Yeah, it's worth a shot." Grover closed his eyes and focused.
Percy, can you hear me? He asked mentally, feeling a bit stupid. There was no response at first.
Yeah, loud and clear. Are you are aware that there is a ship underneath you? Percy's voice echoed through Grover's head. Grover smiled at his friends voice, then answered quickly,
Yeah, it's a ship full on monsters? Help? Grover asked mentally. No answer came back.
"Yep, got him. They all know that there's a ship full of monsters underneath us now, so that's a good thing."
Suddenly the water underneath them twirled up, creating a large, dangerous funnel of water.
"GROVER? IS THAT PERCY DOING THAT?" Thaila yelled over the spinning of water.
"I CAN'T HEAR HIM!"
"THE POWER OF THE STORM IS INTEREFERING WITH OUR SHIP!" Leo shouted, blinking water out of his eyes.
"THERE'S NO WAY THAT PERCY IS DOING THIS! THAILA, TRY-" Annabeth was yelling, but a crack of lightning cut her words out. It hit the funnel, making it stop spinning immediately.
"I didn't mean that… you might've hurt Percy!" Annabeth said angrily.
"Again with Percy, Annabeth, it's been eight months! Are you sure he even remembers you?" Thaila asked, her temper rising also.
"Guys, whatever he did work. It drowned that ship. Let's just hope that hey don't materialize at that Roman camp…" Leo stated brightly. "Now, come on, let's get ready to land."
