~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LEO I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Second the Giant Sea Monster erupted from the depths of the ocean; Leo knew there would be trouble.
Normally he would be racing at the chance to kick some Monster butt, but after helplessly watching his friends falling into a bottom-less pit, he just wasn't feeling the urge.
Leo had been sitting on his comfy Leather chair, when the Monster had attacked. Everybody else was inside comforting each other, while Leo was stuck with the Job of manning the ship.
Of course Leo had forgotten to switch from Radar to Sonar, which effectively reminded him of the time where giant Shrimpzilla had attacked the Argo II. The images of everybody's confused faces were fused into Leo's brain, along with all those memories of Leo's new friends.
That memory, for Leo, seemed to be replying itself that very day. The sound of rushing footsteps could be heard from the Helm, as Leo's rushed around with the many controls on the main board.
"What's happening?" somebody shouted from behind him. Sometimes Leo just wanted to hit people around the head, hard... with a chair. Wasn't it obvious that a Giant Monster was attacking the ship?
"What do you think is happening?" Leo replied angrily, his fingers whizzing around in front of him. "Somebody do something!"
Leo was vaguely aware of the running footsteps stop. He only hoped that his friends got going in-time. The Terrifying monster that was attacking the Demi-gods and Coach Hedge was Enormous.
The Monster was around 50 meters tall, with a slim, scaled body and clawed hands, which shone in the sunlight light knives. It looked like a cross between a Dragon and a Mermaid, in Leo's opinion; but with bigger teeth and less Fire. The Monster was a horrible sickly green colour.
"What do we do, Leo?" Somebody screamed behind him, snapping Leo out of his thoughts. Leo spun around in his leather chair to face four panicked faces.
"Why are you asking me?" He screamed back, swiping a stray lock of hair away from his face.
Jason opened his mouth, as if to reply; but stopped when the ship lurched sideways, sending Leo and his friends flying.
Leo hit the hard wooden floor with a 'bang'. His head started to throb, but Leo pushed the pain aside and jumped back up again.
Coach hedge seemed have been the only one not affected; he stood happily alongside one of the Ballistae's, shooting stray shots at the Monster. Frank had recovered next and Leo watched in time to see him change into a full sized Dragon. He sprang up into the sky, shooting Fire at the Sea Monster, though to no affect.
Hazel and Piper were helping each other up, while Jason was out cold.
"Hazel, Piper!" Leo yelled running back towards the main control panel. He could hear Festus whirring in the background, but through the raging storms he couldn't hear a word his fellow friend was saying. "Try to distract the monster"
"I'm on it" Hazel called. From the Corner of his eye, Leo could see hazel slowly climb up the shaking ladder that led to the Crow's nest. What she was doing; Leo was not sure.
Leo was starting the think that they had a chance. While the monster was distracted by Hazel; Frank and Coach Hedge, Leo was going to use his former techniques with Greek fire. If he could get the explosives in the monsters mouth, than they could kill it like last time; but, of course, excluding the broken ship and strange Mermen.
But at that moment a Second monster surfaced on the other side of the Boat. Unlike the other monster; this one was slightly bigger, and its colour was more of a sea green than a sickly one.
And things, for Leo, got much worse. The Second Monster seemed to also have two Tails. Which meant one could be kept underwater; keeping it afloat, while the other was causing a riot on the Argo II, smashing at Piper, who was kneeling over Jason attempting to revive him from his unconscious state; Flapping at Coach Hedge, who had given up on the ballistae's and had settled for hitting the monsters with his cudgel.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Leo screamed over the raging storm. He frantically searched for a plan inside his head, that could save them all; but none came to mind. "This can't be happening!"
Giving up with planning, Leo decided to 'Wing it'. He stepped away from the Helm, setting his hands on Fire as he went.
Leo focused on the first monster. He pushed his hands in front of him, Palms flat out towards the Creature, but before he could blast it to a pulp, he was slammed down on the ground by an unknown source behind him.
His head, already wounded by the earlier fall, was throbbing worse than ever. Stars were taunting Leo's Vision and a dark abyss encircled his view.
Consciousness was slowly slipping away from Leo. He couldn't move, and he was sure if he survived the attack, he would come out with a concussion.
His eyelids felt like they weighed a tonne, and Leo knew he would black out.
He just hoped that his friends would live to see another day.
Leo was surprised to wake up.
He was sure that he and his friends had died, so when he regained consciousness, he was shocked.
Leo was right when he had said that he would get a concussion. His head throbbed violently and Leo could barely keep conscious.
He was vaguely aware of something cool being pressed against his forehead, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes, so he lay there in peace, waiting for the pain to die down.
"Please wake up, Leo" Somebody whispered into his ear. Leo recognized the voice to be Hazel's.
Leo's forehead tingled as the wet cloth was removed from his forehead and Hazel's small hand pressed against it.
At her touch, a shock of Pain rocketed around Leo's head. He gave out a long low moan.
"Please be gentler" Leo wheezed out, popping and eye open.
Hazel, who was sitting in a chair next to his bed, jumped back in fright. A look of pure shock flashed across her face.
Then a large smile broke through. "Leo!" She cried, wrapping her arms around Leo's shoulders and burying her head in his chest. "You're okay"
Leo gave Hazel an awkward, one-handed hug. "I'm fine Hazel" He chuckled. "Well" Leo thought over that statement. "My head hurts."
"Your head would hurt" Hazel giggled. "When we got you to the infirmary, you had two large bumps on your head. It's no wonder you haven't got Amnesia."
"Wait" said Leo. "Who are you again?" He joked, putting on a confused face.
Hazel shook her head at him, as a small blush bloomed onto her cheeks, and for a moment, Leo saw the real Hazel. And then the smile slipped from Hazel's face and her Roman mask flowed on.
"So" Leo sighs, lacing his fingers together as Hazel lent back into her chair. She shuffled it forwards slightly. "What happened?"
"Well" Said Hazel "After you blacked out the monsters jus... stopped"
"They just, stopped?" Leo asked, suddenly confused. "Why did they stop?"
Hazel let out an antagonized sigh. "We don't know, Leo. It was like they had no purpose to attack after you lost consciousness."
"That's strange" Commented Leo, Hazel nodded her head in agreement.
A comfortable silence fell as Hazel stared of out the window in deep thought, giving Leo a chance to really inspect her.
Her Jeans were ripped and battered and she was missing her left shoe. Her cinnamon crisp curls were pulled back into a ponytail, as to make way for a large bandage wrapped around her forehead. Hazel's golden eyes were shining and her skin was nicked with cuts; but despite all that, to Leo, she looked beautiful.
The comfortable silence was broken when the door slammed open. Hazel jumped for the second time that day and her head shot towards the door.
"Hey" Frank murmured, walking into the room slowly. Stupid Zhang, Leo thought mentally scowling at him. "You awake then?"
"Nooo" Leo drawled, dragging out the word. "I'm a zombie, coming to eat your brains out."
Frank flinched away from Leo, as though he were a real zombie. "Shut up, Valdez" He growled, giving Leo a cold stare. Then he turned to Hazel, his face softening slightly. "Nico's awake" he told her, lacing his hands together. "And he is asking for you"
