In a totally idiotic fashion, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Nico, and Thalia are shadow-traveled to the Nightosphere…
Nico and the Demigods: Adventures in Ooo
Chapter 1: Marceline the Vampire Queen
"Nico! You are so stupid!" Thalia grumbled, "You said we were going to Burger King!"
"That's where we were going." I said, "Something must have gone wrong during the shadow-travel."
"Obviously." Thalia said.
"Can we go home now?" Grover interrupted.
Annabeth looked around. "Where are we?"
There were explosions and lava everywhere and there were a bunch of ugly looking creatures prowling around. In front of us sat a river that seemed to be made up of little men. Plus, everything looked oddly cartoony. Grover carefully poked one of the little men.
"Hey!" The little man yelled, "We've been waiting in line for weeks! No cutting!"
Some guy in a boat was rowing down the river towards us.
"What's going on?" Percy asked the guy.
The boat guy gave us all weird looks.
"We're in line to see Hunson Abadeer!" A little man yelped.
"Who's Huunnnnsssson Abaaaadeeerrr?" Grover asked slowly, exaggerating each syllable.
"Don't you ask me those questions!" The man said, slapping Grover in the face.
"If you want to ask Hunson Abadeer a question, get in line." The boat guy said.
"What's going on?" Percy repeated his question more forcefully, "Where are we?"
"Those are questions to ask Mr. Abadeer."
"Who's Mr. Abadeer?" Grover asked.
"Shut up!" A little man shouted, punching Grover in the stomach.
"Why do little men hate me?" Grover asked no one in particular.
"Are you going to get in line or not?" The boat guy sighed.
That's when the little men started to drag Grover into the river.
"Help!" Grover screamed, as the little men knocked him over and grabbed him by the ankles.
Suddenly, a voice shouted out from behind us. "Stop!"
The little men immediately let go of Grover.
"It's Marceline, the Vampire Queen!" The little men gasped in union.
I turned around and there she was. A girl. She had pale skin and long black hair. She hovered slightly above the ground.
"Who are you?" Percy asked the girl.
"Well, it's pretty obvious that she's 'Marceline the Vampire Queen' because all those little dudes SCREAMED IT IN MY EAR!" Grover said. He glared at the little men.
"Yeah, I'm Marceline. Hunson Abadeer's my dad. But he's also a butt so I'm getting you weirdoes out of here." She turned to the boat guy. "They're coming with me."
"I honestly don't care." The boat guy said. He rowed down the river of little guys, away from us.
Marceline looked at us. "Anyone got any milk?"
"That's what she said." Grover giggled. Annabeth, Thalia, and a little man all slapped him at once.
"Never mind." Marceline grumbled. She grabbed a carton of milk out of her jacket and she scratched a smiley face in the dirt. After that, she smashed the milk on the ground and started muttering under her breath. A huge portal opened up.
"Let's go!" She smiled and she jumped into the portal.
My friends looked at me.
"Can you shadow-travel us out of this?" Annabeth asked.
I tried, but nothing happened. "Nope."
"What're we waiting for?" Thalia said. She leaped into the portal, followed by Percy and Annabeth.
"This doesn't seem right." Grover whimpered.
I sighed. I grabbed Grover by the shirt and dragged him into the portal with me.
