READ THE PATH OF DISCORD OR ELSE THIS ONE WON'T MAKE SENSE! I'M SERIOUS YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND SO MUCH IF YOU DON'T READ IT! Anyway let's begin the Lost Hero!

"YEEEEEEHAWWWWW!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as we raced through the desert plains of Nevada. After the war had ended me and the Hephaestus cabin made some more mounted trucks for long distance travel. I loved the feeling of the wind in my hair as we shot down the street, two other trucks were close behind me, we were like a convoy of heavily armored demigods. The thought made me laugh as we saw a large building in the distance.

We slowed down as we parked in the lot and everyone hopped out of the trucks. I jumped off the bed and shouldered Discord, Percy had been missing for over a two days now and Annabeth was freaking out. I sent out most of the camp and Nico had been kind enough to shadow travel a lot of us to our designated states. Of course transporting twenty demigods and three war trucks knocked out him and Mrs. O'Leary together. We had a few hours before either of them would be waking up.

We walked towards the building and my armored jacket and hat transformed to match the weather. I was now wearing a black sleeveless tank top, basketball shorts, and a baseball cap. My rifle turned into a lacrosse stick as I slung it across my back. We were near the door and I saw the sign next to it "Nevada Wilderness School for delinquents and troubled youth? Well this will be fun." I muttered as we all walked in. It looked like one of those fancy boarding schools you see in movies which I thought was weird since this was a school for violent and stupid teens...that's not what it was for but I don't care.

Since we were in the mortal world the bionic part of my face was concealed by the Mist. It didn't take much but since my eye was fashioned from Celestial Bronze to mortals I had heterochromia. Which is when you have different colored eyes. One would be shown as red and the other some random color, whatever the Mist thought would be a good color. Right now I think I had a green eye...Why am I going into so much detail with this?! We walked over to the nearest adult, a lady in a blouse and skirt filing papers.

"Uh hi?" I said and the lady turned around and scowled at me. I guess I didn't look very nice and she was right, I'm not "We are looking for Percy Jackson?" I asked, that usually would trigger some huge monster fight. They would become calm and then say Perseus Jackson because the only ones that knew his real name were trying to kill him.

That didn't happen the lady just scowled again "No one attending this school has that name. I do not know how you got out of your classes but Physical Education should be starting! Get to Coach Hedge right now." She said and walked away. Wow I guess the adults in this school were pretty stupid since she didn't even try to drag me to the class she just left. The door is wide open I could literally just leave right now if I attended this school.

Wait did she just say Coach Hedge?! Gleeson Hedge?! That old goat is still working? Dang I gotta see this! I ordered my men to scout the area for any sign of Percy while I went to the gym. I walked through the halls until I saw the sign that said 'Gymnasium' and I pushed the double doors open. I was immediately hit by the smell of an old gym where no one showered afterwards, I gagged a little before I collected myself. I looked around trying to find Coach Hedge, maybe it was a different...

"Let's move cupcakes! Get that rear in gear!" a loud voice shouted. No that's definitely him, I looked over and saw the vertically challenged satyr that brought me to camp all those years ago. I smiled a little and when he saw me he looked stunned as I bumped his shoulder and leaned against the wall next to him. He lost focus of his job and stared at me "Strife? What are you doing here?!" he asked.

I grinned "Percy Jackson is missing. Seen him here or heard anything?" I asked and he shook his head. I sighed and looked at all of the young teenagers who were running around the gym. I caught sight of three people, some scrawny guy that looked like an elf, some girl that looked like she may have had some Native American heritage, and a huge buff guy with black hair that seemed to be flirting with the girl. I looked at the coach and he was staring at those three intently "Demigods?" I asked and he nodded.

"Those two are. That big guy, Dylan, is just a pain in the hindquarters" he said pointing to scrawny guy and the girl. Something was off about this situation, the way that Dylan kept flirting with the girl and not letting her leave. The way he was looking at her I switched to Thermal Vision and saw the entire gym turn dark blue. Orange shapes ran around the gym and as the two demigods ran by I noticed something.

Dylan had no thermal reading! It was like he wasn't there, no way that guy was mortal. I leaned over next to Hedge and went back to normal vision "Keep an eye on Dylan. He's not mortal at all." I said and coach lifted his baseball bat. Some of the students were starting to look at me and the scrawny guy actually stopped and ran up to me, he was sweaty from the running.

"Yo Terminator! What's with the metal face? Are you from the future?! Tell me does the world love Leo Ultimate Bad Boy Supreme as much as they do now?!" he asked with a grin. I just stared at him and contemplated cracking him over the head with my gun. I didn't get the chance because the gym door opened and Will Solace signaled me over.

"Hey see you back at camp Hedge, keep an eye out okay?" I asked and he nodded before he whistled and started shouting at the kids. I ran over to the son of Apollo "What's up?" I asked and he just shook his head.

"No luck. Chiron called and said we need to get back to camp, something about the Bronze Dragon." he said and I nodded. We walked out and saw the rest of the campers climbing into the cars, Nico and Mrs. O'Leary were in a small town called Tusayan. It was near the Grand Canyon so by the time we got back they should be good to go.

I climbed into the bed and grabbed the mounted M60, I pounded the roof of the truck and that was the signal to go. The campers immediately gunned the engines and we all shot down the street. We were cheering and whooping, we didn't get to leave camp much. I mean I did a lot but I'm the son of Eris so I kind of get a free pass on that since it would lead to an argument with Chiron and I mean come on fighting with that guy is so fun!

Anyway we were all enjoying the freedom of the desert and the town soon came into view. We were about to hit the town limits when the ground erupted underneath all of our trucks. We all screamed as the trucks flipped over and I went hurtling right to the ground.

I hit the rocky ground head first.

Then I blacked out.
