Warning: Contains lots of action, ship-teasing, some casino games references, both humor and drama and...other stuff.

A/N: There isn't enough Fanfiction (other than the Son of Neptunes on the archive) about the new three amigos: Jason, Piper, and Leo. So after a month of planning, I decided to lay this idea on paper (Microsoft Word?). Oh, and this is not beta-ed. So...if you found out what was wrong with the writing (grammar mistakes and other things), feel free to leave it on your review. I'll be going back to proofread this chapter tomorrow. Oh yeah, let me warn you: Jason's going all out in this chapter so...forgive me. And no...said item on the summary is not a table.

JASON

When he was dragged to the godly roulette table by two buffy Cyclopes, Jason knew something was about to go wrong. They forced him into a seat and gave Jason toothless grins. Jason smiled back uneasily. He began tapping his earpiece that was attached on his right ear, waiting for any word from Leo and Piper. He couldn't hold them any longer; everyone at the casino was making Jason edgy.

"Well, place your bets!" cried the dealer to his guests (who appeared to be mortal), "Round seven hundred and eighty two is about to start!"

The whole table was beginning to cram with teenage-looking gods, watching the small ball spin around the opposite direction of the wheel, and started throwing chips to the layer in an ungodly manner. Jason slowly made his way out of the crowd, hoping that the Cyclopes didn't see him. Unfortunately, one of them stepped in front of him, its bulky muscles stretching out his suit, and one eye squinting. "Where do you think you're going, half-blood?"

Uh-oh.

"Uh, I…have to go to the restroom," Well, it was true. His hands were both itchy. It was probably the side effects of applying the powder to disguise his demigod scent from monsters and the gods alike. On the bright side, the Cyclops let him go, though his big eye was still staring at the back of Jason's head.

He walked through a crowded hall to find the nearest men's restroom. He found an empty one, most likely because gods did not use toilets. Jason stepped in, locked the door, and breathed a sigh of relief. He decided call the others to check if everything's okay.

"Oh, we're fine here," Leo grumbled, probably in a middle of something. "Just…some technical difficulties, but we're able to…ow."

There were sounds of static and metal scraping from the other side of the line. A minute later, it stopped.

"Alright, it's open!" Leo cheered. "Hand's slightly burn, though. Don't know why…"

"Listen guys," Jason started. "The monsters are on to me now. We don't have much time. We'll have to continue tomorrow if we don't want to get them suspicious."

"No way," Leo and Piper said in unison.

"We need that material as soon as possible. It's an important piece for the ship! The blueprint says it won't run until it has it!"

"What Leo is trying to say," Piper chimed in, "is that we just need a little bit more time. Just…hold on, and least we could do is break down the barrier so you can enter."

"Then what are you waiting for, princess?" Leo said. "Get in."

Piper didn't respond right away. "Oh…wow, that looks small…and uncomfortable."

Leo sighed, clicking his tongue. "Right…and here you are, talking about small metal cave holes when your boyfriend's already in trouble. I'm going in."

"W-what do you-? He's not my boyfriend, Leo. Ugh, step aside."

Jason decided to leave his friends to their jobs. He stared to himself at the mirror for a moment. He hated to admit it, but he looked good on a tuxedo. Though, he couldn't imagine the look on Annabeth's face if she would learn that they were gambling in an actual casino. Jason shook the thoughts from his head and walked towards the exit. But when he came out of the bathroom, he was surrounded by three giant Cyclopes. Apparently, one of them was Ma Gasket, the she-Cyclops they had been fighting for quite a while. She was wearing a brown formal dress that didn't suit her at all.

"Well, well, well," she grinned wickedly. "The son of Jupiter, here at the Table of the Olympians? What a lucky night."

Jason took out his coin, deciding whether to attack or to defend. He looked around for anything that could help him get out of this ambush. Then he had an idea. Jason ran straight towards one Cyclops (who was Sump, one of the she-Cyclops's sons), dropped down and slid between the creature's legs. Then Jason jumped over a table where a game of blackjack was happening and continued to run.

The minor gods inside the casino looked either confused or aggravated as he passed by them. The monster family was still hot on his trail. He flipped his coin, and when caught in mid-air, it turned into a sword.

Jason stopped and turned to face Torque who was able to catch up. He slashed the legs of the monster. The Cyclops stumbled down and groaned. The demigod brought his sword's tip to the monster's chest and watched him turned into a pile of sand. From the corner of his eye, Jason saw a flower vase shot towards him. He quickly dropped down to avoid it and, for instinctively, crawled under a poker table. Though, someone caught him by the legs and pulled him away. Jason was dangling up-side down and he could smell Sump's garbage breath. He wasted no time and swung his sword, simply to behead the monster and saw him quickly disintegrated. Jason fell on his back, slightly groaned, and stood up to continue to outrun the horde of monsters.

"Stop fooling around!" Ma Gasket bellowed, "Get that half-blood!"

Just then, a dracanae blocked Jason's path. She was dressed in a red cocktail dress for the occasion. She would have looked pretty if it wasn't for the long evil-looking spear she was holding and the annoyed look on her face. The dracanae hissed at him and lashed the tip of her spear straight to Jason's chest. Jason sidestepped to the left, but the spear was able to graze his right shoulder. Before she would perform her second attack, Jason lashed his own weapon and beheaded the creature. He didn't watch her disintegrate, as he was too busy examining the wound he received. It felt like it was burning against his skin. His eyesight blurred. Jason took off his bloodied coat and ran to find someplace to hide.

Unfortunately, Ma Gasket was already ahead of him. Jason tried to run away from her but Ma Gasket moved too quickly; she grabbed Jason by the neck with her big hand and lifted him up to the air.

"You cannot run now, half-blood." She said with glee, "I had sworn my vengeance upon you and your friends for killing us far too many times."

Jason couldn't move. He tried swinging his sword, but the graze on his shoulder was too painful.

There was only one choice.

He bit the Cyclops's finger.

Cyclopes may be immune to fire, but apparently they weren't immune to teeth bites.

"Yaah!" she shrieked, letting go of Jason. Using his remaining energy, Jason lashed his sword to Ma Gasket's legs. She fell back and wailed. "You will pay, son of Jupiter! One day, Mother Gaea will smite you down!"

Jason stood up, his legs wobbly but was able to maintain his balance. He raised his weapon to the protesting creature's chest.

"Sorry, but you kept saying the same thing over and over again." And with that, he stabbed the monster and Ma Gasket quickly turned to sand. He considered the moment and took a deep breath. No monster was chasing him right now. The wound on his shoulder was still throbbing. He suddenly felt dizzy.

Leo, Piper, you have to hurry, he thought. Jason was about to collapse to the ground when an alarm exploded throughout the building.
