A/N sorry I forgot that Jason also knew about the otherside of the door being in tarterus and I also didn't try to only make the PoV's guys

Nico PoV

Percy was gone, Annabeth was gone. They were both gone. Annabeth, best fighter camp half-blood had seen in a while, head of Athena cabin, architectural nut, a little mean at times, camp co leader was gone, along with Percy, Percy his best and only friend at times, the one who hadn't lost faith that he would come back to the right side during the labyrinth summer, the one he had manipulated to go to hades and back in a suicide mission, the one whom Nico had tried multiple times to kill, his "big brother", was gone. Nico could barely wrap his mind around the horrific thoughts.

This was different from Percy's earlier disappearance, Nico had known where he would be, it was on the same terms now except now Both Percy AND Annabeth were gone, into Tarterus, the abyss, the only place gods have ever feared. From Nico's personal experience, there was a pretty good reason why. Darkness for miles, chock full of the worst monsters this world had to offer.

"Stop it!" Nico scolded himself, full aware that he was talking to himself, Percy and Annabeth are the strongest people that he knew, they would survive, and for the time being, Nico along with the other prophecy kids and the psycho goat gym teacher would find the doors of death and close them. For the now two missing leaders of camp half-blood, they couldn't let those two down.

Nico remembered Percy's face before he fell. Strong, Scared yet determined for what was coming and hopefully not last request. "Close the doors of death."

After all Percy did for Nico, it was only mandatory that he returned the favor. Suicide mission for suicide mission. It was right then that Nico promised himself that he would find percy and Annabeth, if it was the last thing that he did or what was the cost, he would save them.

They were going to live. They always did. He said, he promised, that the'll come back and with the small exception of Bianca, Percy had never broke a promise. Percy was going to live and that was that.

Leo's PoV

This was the balance. The sacrifice, Annabeth and Percy. Nemesis was a ongoing in her promise. She had collected the dept. Nemesis was a witch when it came to fair and this just proved it. Nemesis took Annabeth and Percy when the two camp heroes were never Leo's to bargen with.

But then again, a small voice in his head started, Percy and Annabeth were probably their best bets out of all of them. Jason was Leo's best friend through and through, but even the son of Zeus wouldn't be able to survive. The son of hades almost died there for hades sake, and that was the little guy's home turf! Hazel and Frank were just too inexperienced, and piper would, well, she might survive had it not been for her horrible direction skills.

Leo would never dare say this out loud in fear of being…

a) Chased by skeletons and ghosts

b) Being electrocuted

c) Being chased (again) by a one man hoard of animals

d) Drowned in precious stones and cursed for life

e) Being "talked" into doing stupid things

But it was the reality of it all. The following were all undesiredable for the leoster nut it was true. Running away from home at age seven, getting back Zeus' lightning bolt, at twelve! People twelve! Saving the camp beating 4 titans with minimal to nothing help, holding up the sky, the two were pretty experienced out of all of them. Everyone else even including the awesome Leo (hard to believe, I know) were inexperienced questers.

And well powerful, Leo would lie later about this but Percy was a power and hope generator, he latterly generated power and salt (because of Posiden)and was super scary yet kind of funny when mad, and Annabeth, he didn't even want to think about it. She topped anyone Leo had ever met on scary-o-meter with that razor knife and there was no doubt in Leos mind that if he wasn't her friend, incredibly handsome mind you, that she could have skinned him without a second thought.

Yeah, they would be fine.

Jason PoV

Jason watched in horror as Percy hand let go, right before the said person yelled something to Nico, was he crazy, what was he thinking, oh that's right, the usual- NOTHING, nothing at all! Was he chickening out and committing suicide? Was he just naturally stupid? Why didn't Annabeth stop him? What could they gain from this? If Percy and Annabeth died camp half blood would be devastated. Jason didn't know either of them all that well but what he did know was that they were camp half bloods glue if they died… he didn't even wasn't to think about it. The camp would be In total chaos!- the two were leaders, when they were reported dead it would be the civil war all over again! Their death would make and move every Greek enough to kill and murder, as much as Jason hated to admit it Greeks were fierce and frightening when they were mad and revengeful. Romans for sure would fight back, but it would be useless, because it was natural the Greeks wanted revenge. There death could impact the camp so that even peaceful Sayers and nature and water nymphs could become cold blooded serial killers screaming for blood. A huge massacre of both Romans and Greeks.

By now Jason's anger had subsided, and his confusion had submerged. Why, why would anyone want to purposefully fall into tarterus, especially with the doors of death and that that needed to close the door from both sides. That was when it all clicked in side of Jason. It all made sense a crazy, twisted sense but sense.

Wow those two were extremely brave. This surpassed everything Jason had ever did, but they were doing their part and so would he. Jason looked around the boat and saw piper desperately trying to find something out about Annabeth and Percy's well being with Kriptois, her dagger, Leo trying to make sense of everything. Hazel whimpering in Franks arms, who he himself looked like he wanted to do the very same, but kept it together for hazel. Nico sat in the corner muttering to himself.

The sight caused new found energy to surge trough Jason, they were going to fight with everything they got, tooth and bone and weapon of choice to beat those giants and Gaea to a pulp and kick their 10 ton butts all the way to Tarterus.

He promised that Percy and Annabeth would be right beside them.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
