Summary: How different would the series be if Annabeth disappeared instead of Percy? More havoc than usual, Percy would not rest until Annabeth is found, even if that means sneaking along a quest which doesn't need him.

A/N: When I put * it means I got it from the book, it won't happen very often but I had no idea how to start things smoothly without adding this whole chunk from The Lost Hero. Sorry about that.

Also this is my first fanfiction, I'm planning to do the whole series but I'm not that sure how long it would take because of school and other things so sorry if I take long to update.

I do not own Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus, everything belongs to Rick Riordan.

I : Jason

After seeing Coach Hedge being kidnapped by those venti Jason expected his day to get better. It really didn't.

*"Coach Hedge said that he had to protect three people," Jason remembered. "I think he meant us."

"And that thing Dylan turned into…" Piper shuddered. "God, I can't believe it was hitting on me. He called us… what, demigods?"

Leo lay on his back, staring at the sky. He didn't seem anxious to get up. "Don't know what demi means," he said. "But I'm not felling too godly. You guys felling godly?"

There was a brittle sound like dry twigs snapping, and the cracks in the sky walk began to widen.

"We need to get off this thing," Jason said. "Maybe if we -"

"Ohhh-kay," Leo interrupted. "Look up there and tell me if those are flying horses."

At first Jason thought Leo had hit his head too hard. Then he saw a dark shape descending from the eats – too slow for a plane, too large for a bird. As it got closer, he could see a pair of winged animals – grey, four-legged, exactly like horses – except each one had a twenty-foot wingspan. And they were pulling a brightly painted box with two wheels: a chariot.

"Reinforcements," he said. "Hedge told me an extraction squad was coming for us."

"Extraction squad?" Leo struggled to his feet. "That sounds painful."

"And where are they extracting us to?"

Jason watched as the chariot landed on the far end of the sky walk. The flying horses tucked in their wings and cantered nervously across the glass, as if they sensed it was near breaking.* Not even giving Jason a chance to comprehend that there were flying horses in front of him, a figure jumped of the chariot before it stopped moving and ran towards them with… was that a sword?

He was tall and lean, with messy black hair and sea green eyes which looked crazed like a sea storm. Jason heard Piper hold her breath behind him, seeing someone run at them with a sword was never wracking for anyone but his eyes made it a whole lot scarier.

"Where is she?" the boy demanded. "I swear if any of you hurt her…"

Jason was really confused now, "where is who?"

The boy lowered his sword and closed his eyes, as if he was trying to calm himself. His eyes opened again and he looked a lot calmer, as if the storm inside of him subsided. He looked at all of Piper and Leo and asked, "There was supposed to be a satyr with you, Coach Hedge, where is he?"

Leo cleared his throat. "First of all what's a satyr? And secondly he was taken by these weird… tornado things."

The boy arched an eyebrow and then smiled, "a satyr is half man half goat, and I suppose you saw his legs?"

"Well that explains it, Coach is half goat, and what are you, half fish?" Leo said, clearly not believing anything the dark-haired boy was saying.

"Well if you put it that way kind of," the boy chuckled, looking slightly awkward.

Great they were stuck with Mr Fish and Mr Bulky over there in the chariot. Trying to make sense of things Jason said, "What Leo meant is that we were attacked by venti, storm spirits."

The boy looked confused, and beckoned for the other guy on the chariot to come over, "hey Butch what is a venti?"

Butch said, "Well we called them anemoi theellai, but I think you don't know that either, just like the blonde kid said they are storm spirits."

Looking at him he looked pretty scary with all his muscle and the way he stood, glaring at us. Oddly he had a tattoo of a rainbow on his biceps, slightly destroying the image of him being terrifying.

With that the green-eyed boy became serious again, the storm appearing in his eyes again, "anyway who are you guys and what happened?"

Jason did his best to explain what happened but it was hard to concentrate while those intense green eyes bore into him. Leo and Piper adding to his story when needed. Finally the crazy morning was fully recounted to the boys.

However the storm-eyed boy did not look satisfied with what he is told, "She told me she would be here, and that I would find answers," he all but screamed to the sky. He fell to the floor, "she told me if I am things will be fine again, that I will finally have a break."

"Percy," Butch grunted. "Check it out." He pointed at Jason's feet.

*Jason hadn't thought much about it, but he was still missing his left shoe, which had been blown off by the lighting. His bare foot felt okay, but it looked like a lump of charcoal.

"The guy with one shoe," said the bald dude. "He's the answer."*

Percy looked at me with his intense and fierce eyes but I could see a sense of pleading as if saying, tell me anything please.

Jason didn't know what to say, "I-I don't know anything I'm sorry," he looked to the ground. "I don't even know myself much less anything about other people."

Percy got up from his place and looked at the floor as if he was mourning, "I was probably tricked Butch, I should've never trusted Hera, she hates Annabeth." He started moving towards the chariot but before he got there he turned around and fixed Jason with a resentful look. "We'll settle this later."

Jason saw Piper clench her fists, "what is his problem, one minute he is all friendly next he looks like he is ready to kill us. And what is going on?"

"Piper is right on that one mate," Leo agreed.

Butch looked between us and said, "I'll explain everything later but for now we have to get you guys out of here."

Jason looked at Butch like he was out of his mind, "I am not being anywhere near him," Jason pointed towards the black-haired boy. "I feel like if I go near him he will tear me apart with his own hands."

Butch hesitated, "He is lot better than he was before, when he found out she was missing and then got that message from Hera he nearly destroyed the camp and was more ready to go to Olympus and destroy the gods."

"Gods?" Jason heard Leo mutter behind him.

"Cut the guy some slack please," Butch continued. "He is normally one of the best people to be around but after she disappeared and he had a vision about coming here and finding someone with one shoe who would solve his problem he is pretty stressed."

"Who disappeared, is that the problem?" Piper asked.

"He has been looking for one of our campers who has been missing for three days," Butch said. "He is literally going mad with worry and he hoped that she would be here but as we can all see she is not."

"Who is he looking for?" Jason asked.

Butch took a deep breath, "his girlfriend named Annabeth Chase." Butch looked at all of them, "and if he doesn't find her soon I feel sorry for anyone who gets in his way."
