1st Chapter Summary: On the way back from defeating Gaea, the Argo II shipwrecks, and the Seven must survive on a deserted island until help arrives. Post- BoO.

A/N: I haven't read the Blood of Olympus, so if i get something wrong, don't be mad.

Percy POV

This must be a sick joke. The son of Poseidon, stranded in the middle of the ocean. Water all around me, yet there was nothing I could do. Jason, the son of Jupiter, was unconscious in the sand several feet from me. I had no idea if anyone else was on the island, or even alive. And it was my fault.

...YESTERDAY...

Leo POV

The Argo II was sailing through the sky. Everything was calm. The Seven of the Great Prophecy were on their way back to Camp Half-Blood after stopping Gaea, the Earth itself. The Romans were attempting peace negotiations with the Greeks, and all seemed right with the world. One of the lines of the prophecy kept nagging at the corner of my mind.

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,

(Percy, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, me, and Annabeth)

To storm or fire the world must fall,

(The world meant Gaea, and Percy and Jason had worked to keep Gaea from rising, and she had fallen into the void of Chaos)

An oath to keep with a final breath...

(I had no idea which oath)

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death

(A Titan, a Giant, and two half-bloods had worked together to close the Doors of Death)

Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of Jason, who was on guard duty, yelling for help. Several manticores had attacked the ship. Jason was trying to fight them off, but one hit him with its tail and sent him sliding across the deck. I summoned fire to my hands and blasted them. One charged him just as Percy stabbed him with Riptide, his magical sword. It dissolved to dust. A dragon flew into the air, attacking another manticore. Frank, Leo thought. His friend Frank had the ability to turn into animals.

One of the manticores was carrying something. As I looked closer, he realized it was the Chimera, a creature Percy had defeated years ago. It dropped to the deck, breathing fire. "Help!", someone yelled. I turned and saw Hazel, daughter of Pluto. She was being attacked by the Chimera's snake tail while its head attacked Jason. I charged at the monster, unaffected by its flames. Then, I drew his sword and fought off the snake tail so Hazel could escape.

The ship was getting lower. I could tell by how the manticores had to dive down to the deck. Jason had gotten back up after the Chimera attack and was know flying through the air, fighting off the manticores. Piper was using charmspeak to convince the manticores to fly away. Suddenly, when we were about a hundred feet from the water, a drakon shot out and ripped through the side of the ship.

I ran to the controls of the ship. If I didn't pull up soon, that drakon was going to kill all of us. I grabbed the Wii controller that controlled the whole ship and turned on the defense cannons, then made the ship rise, out of reach for the drakon. Jason, Percy, and Frank took care of the rest of the monsters. The Chimera had been captured in an iron cage and he thrashed against the sides of it. The Argo II was in bad shape, though. There were holes up and down the hull, flames on the sides of the ship, and the engines had been damaged.

Jason POV

"Where is everybody?", I asked. "Frank and Hazel are downstairs Iris-Messaging Reyna. Annabeth is working on some repairs at the bow. Piper went back to her cabin after the fight" I noticed that one of the engines was on fire and seemed broken. "Leo, I'm gonna fly out and check out the engine", I yelled. "I think it's broken". "Alright", Leo called back. "Just don't blow anything up!"

I flew out to the side of the ship and hovered next to the engine. It had flames all over it, and it rattled and shook loudly. There was a hole in the ship beside the engine, and I flew through it. The hole led to the cargo bay. I noticed several large crates with the words, "Geek Frier" on it. That's not right, I thought. Dyslexia was annoying.

Suddenly I realized what the crate actually said, and flew out of the engine room. There were huge crates of Greek Fire, sitting right next to an engine about to explode. I ran to Percy. "You need to put out the fire on the engine, now!" I yelled. "No, the water will damage the engine", Leo said. "This whole ship is about to blow!" I yelled again and flew back to the engine. I started pulling the crates away from the fire and a small glass jar hit the ground. A green liquid spilled onto the floor.

Suddenly Percy charged into the cargo bay and sprayed the fire with water. The shipping bay erupted in flame. Percy shoved me out the door and dove out just as the crates caught fire. The explosion sent me flying forward into the mast, then everything went black.

Percy POV

Just as we jumped out of the cargo bay, the entire back of the ship exploded. Jason flew forward and hit the back of his head on the mast. I went flying over the railing and off the side of the ship. "Help!" I yelled. The last thing I saw was Annabeth looking over the railing, yelling, "PERCY!"

I controlled the water to cushion my fall. It picked me up into the air, then slowly lowered me into the water. I could see the Argo II in the sky, slowly falling. I used the water to push me toward the ship. Maybe I could save the ship. At that moment, the back of the ship broke off.

Frank POV

Hazel and I were sitting in the ship, talking to Reyna on an Iris Message. Iris Messages are like Skype for half-bloods. Using cell phones sends up a notice to every monster in the area saying, "Here I am! Come eat me!". "I have something really important to tell you", Reyna said. Then the ship exploded.

The entire wall erupted in green flames, and suddenly we were falling. I could see the Iris message hang in the air as the back of the ship fell into the ocean. Hazel grabbed my arm as I turned into a dragon and pulled us up. The back of the ship shattered as it hit a reef.

Reyna POV

"I have something really important to tell you", I said. That was when the entire ship exploded. The Iris message hung in the air as the back of the ship dropped away. I looked down and saw the chunk of the ship crashed into a reef. Then, the IM disappeared. I stepped out of the Big House at Camp Half-Blood. I had to tell Chiron the bad news.

Chiron was practicing Archery with the Apollo campers. He turned around when he heard me call his name. I guess the look on my face must have been bad, because his eyes darkened as soon as he saw me. "Chiron, I have bad news", I said. "What is it Reyna?", he asked. "The Argo II-". I stopped as my eyes filled with tears. The realization hit me like an arrow. Chiron rushed toward me. "Reyna?" He said. "What's wrong?". "They're dead", I whispered. "The Argo II exploded and crashed. They're all dead".

Suddenly I sat up in my bed. Had it been a dream? I ran out the door of the Big House and looked around. No one was there. Chiron walked into the room, and from the look on his face, I knew it hadn't been a dream. The Argo II had gone down. The heroes who had defeated Gaea and Kronos were all dead. Rain poured down outside and lightning flashed in the sky. Zeus and Poseidon were also grieving. "Reyna, their funeral will be tomorrow", Chiron said. "We need to start moving on. They would want it that way"

Frank POV

I flew through the sky with with Hazel on my back. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it the whole way. The battle earlier had drained me, and turning into a dragon twice had sapped my energy. The fire on the Argo II raged on, and the other engines blew out. The ship began to fall faster. It hit the water with a loud crash, and I could see from here that it had hit some rocks. It broke into separate pieces that drifted towards something in the distance. Was that an island?

Annabeth POV

Percy had fallen off the ship. I knew the water would protect him, but for the first time since my quest in Arachne's cave, we were separated. We had been through Tartarus together, and now, this is what keeps us apart? "Leo, turn the ship around!" I yelled. I turned around and saw that Leo was gone. He must have fallen off when the back of the ship collapsed. That meant it was me, Jason, and Piper... Piper! She was in her cabin, and I had no idea where she was.

I ran to the back of the ship where there was a ladder going below deck. The fire was worse down there. I could feel the heat in the air. I ran to her bunk. "Piper!" I called out. I ran in the room and saw her slumped against the wall, unconscious. Blood trickled from the back of her head. I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up. We had to get out of here. I ran into the hall, when suddenly the ship tipped forward violently and I slid down the hall. I felt my bones shake as the ship ripped apart on impact. My head slammed against the wall, and everything faded to black.

Leo POV

I fell through the air on top of the back of the ship. I came to a sudden stop as it hit something in the water. It broke into pieces and I fell forward into the water. I climbed up on top of a chunk of driftwood and laid on my back. I used my fire abilities to dry the water off of me without burning the wood. Then, I held my hand up in the air and set my fingers on fire as a signal. I was staring up at the stars, when a dragon grabbed me.

Hazel POV

I looked back behind us at the wreck from where we crashed and saw a small flame flickering in the air. "Frank, turn around!" I said. "Leo's back there!" Frank turned around and glided toward Leo. He picked up speed as he went into a nose dive and grabbed Leo off of his makeshift raft. He screamed and set himself completely on fire.

He was about to burn us to a crisp when he saw me. "Oh! It's you! Sorry, Frank!" Frank, still I'm dragon form, snorted. Flames shot out his nose and Leo laughed. "Leo, how can you be laughing at a time like this?" I screamed. He stopped laughing and looked down. He felt guilty. "Sorry", he said. "No, I'm sorry. I kind of lost it there" "It's fine, Hazel", he said.

Frank POV

I felt exhausted. I knew I would have to land soon, I just didn't know where it would be. I kept following the Argo II for now. It looked like an island in the distance, maybe I could make it there. Just then, I began to lose consciousness. The last thing I thought before I fell was, Whale.

When I woke up, I was lying on a beach, still in whale form. It was still dark, so either I was out for a day, or it was still the same day. Leo and Hazel were sitting on the beach. They had a small campfire in front of them. I turned back into a person and stepped onto the beach. Leo looked over at him. "Frank, good to see you're awake. You kind of passed out mid-air and turned into a whale", Leo said. "Thankfully, we washed up on this island", said Hazel.

Reyna POV

Seven empty coffins. Seven shrouds on top of them. All seven burned. The funeral was miserable. It was pouring rain, and waves crashed against the beach. Lightning struck the burning fire.

"Percy was the bravest hero I've ever known. He was a natural leader and I don't know how camp will go on without him", Grover Underwood said. "Even when I was at my worst, he was there for me". Grover stepped back from the fire as Juniper tired to comfort him. "Annabeth was my best friend. She was smart, courageous, and a great person. She was like my sister, and I'll miss her forever", said Thalia Grace, before running away in tears. I stepped up to the fire and said, "Jason Grace was an amazing leader. He was a hero to his friends and the defeater of all his enemies" Nico di Angelo stepped up. "I didn't know Hazel long, but when I did, she was as a great sister, and a brave fighter. She sacrificed her life to save others, twice". "Frank was a good friend. He always gave his best, and did whatever he could for the good of others", I said. Calypso had appeared by Iris-Message.

"I only knew Leo a short time, but I could tell just from that time that he was an amazing person. He was funny, smart, and a nice guy all around. He was also a hero, and he will be missed by many". Calypso sadly stared at the fire and said, "Goodbye Leo". A young woman with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes walked up to the fire. I suddenly realized it was Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and Piper's mother. "My daughter was, in my opinion, the glue that held the seven together. She was friendly and outgoing to all, and kept everyone from going crazy at one point or another. I am happy to know that she and Jason will be together in Elysium"

Nico POV

I had important news for Reyna. I ran toward her after the funeral. "Reyna!" I called. She looked back at me with tears in her eyes. "They're not dead", I told her. She looked at me like I was crazy, but I could see a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Nico, there's no way. I saw them die", she said. "I would feel it of they were dead, they have to be alive", I said. "My dad is Hades, I can tell. Just them there was a commotion.

A small girl was running into camp. She couldn't have been more than 4. She was screaming and crying at the top of her lungs, "Help me!" Three Griffins were chasing here, but they crashed into the magical border. The little girl ran to the Big House. Reyna ran up to her. "Are you alright?" She asked. The little girl backed up to a wall and held out a small knife. "Monsters!" She wailed. "It's alright", Reyna told her calmly. "Put away your knife". The little girl slowly touched the tip with her palm, and it shrank into a bracelet. She took off her backpack, and she pulled out an envelope. "Where's Chiron?" She asked.

Annabeth POV

I woke up with a throbbing head. I was floating on a piece of driftwood along side Piper. The last thing I remembered was rescuing Piper, then the ship crashing. I saw a silver package floating in the water. Frank's wood, I thought. I grabbed it out of the water. Piper groaned and rolled over. She slowly sat up. "Where are we?" She mumbled. "Somewhere in the middle of the ocean. The ship crashed", I told her sadly. "Where's everyone else? Are they ok?" she asked. "I don't know. Percy fell off the ship, I'm sure he's fine, Jason was still on when I went in the ship to get you..." "Annabeth!" She yelled. "Why didn't you save him instead? I should be the one out there, you should have saved him!" Piper put her head in her hands and sobbed.

Leo POV

"I've seen a lot of survival movies", I started to say, but Frank cut me off. "Movies aren't going to help us Leo! We need a shelter". "That's what I was going to say!" I exclaimed. "Stop fighting!" Hazel yelled. "We need to stick together". "Frank, you turn into a beaver and get some wood...", I started, but then Frank snapped. "Stop making fun of me!" "Frank, I think he was serious", Hazel said. Frank grumbled something in Latin and suddenly a beaver stood in his place. It stalked off into the woods.

I walked around and picked up some wood pieces. Then, I lit them on fire with my hand. "Hey Hazel!" I called. "I made us a signal fire, in case a boat or helicopter comes by". "Leo, there won't be a helicopter" hazel said sadly. "Why?" I asked. "We're in the Sea of Monsters", she said. "I can sense the death all around us. The crashed planes, the sunken ships, it's everywhere".

Percy POV

As I flew through the water, I felt the Argo II crash into the water. I made the water push even harder, and when I got to the shipwreck, no one was there except Jason. I grabbed him with the water and swam down into the ship. I found Leo's Archimedes Spheres, which were useless from the water, and his tool belt, which I grabbed and tossed over my shoulder.

I swam back up to the surface and saw an island that the ship was drifting towards. I used the water to push us forward to the island, and then the ship ran aground. I laid down Jason on the beach, and sat down. None of this would have happened if I hadn't blasted the water on the fire. I knew it was my fault. The guilt felt like I was holding the sky again, and there was no one to take it from me.

Chiron POV (SURPRISE!)

The death of the Seven had shaken me to the core. I tried to stay strong for the sake of the camp, but I knew I would eventually break. Every camper is like a child to me, and I had lost seven of them in an instant. Suddenly I heard Nico di Angelo call my name. "Chiron! There's a new camper who wants to see you!" I galloped toward the Big House and stepped toward the young child. "Hello, I am Chiron. What is your name?" "I'm Eve", she said quietly. "Read this", she said and handed me an envelope.

The poor girl couldn't have been more than five, and she was already running from monsters. I carefully opened the envelope, and pulled out a letter.

Dear Chiron of Camp Half-Blood,

I hope that my daughter has made it to camp safely. Her mother died when their house was attacked by monsters, and she has been running through the country ever since. She gives off a powerful aura, due to her being my child, and I hope she is safe. Let me know when she gets to camp.

Sincerely, Poseidon

Another child of the Big Three?, I thought. The letter was dated six months ago. "Eve, do you know who your daddy is?", I asked. She shook her head. "Your daddy is very special. His name is Poseidon, and he controls the ocean", I told her. Her eyes widened. "My mommy said he ran away because his brother told him he couldn't see us", she said. "She told me to come here"

"His brother's name is Zeus, and he controls storms, the sky, and lightning". I said. "Storms are scary", she said sadly. "Don't worry, there are no storms here. We control the weather", I said. "Yay!" she exclaimed. "Do you want to see my magic backpack?" "Ok", I said. She opened her backpack, and the inside was enormous, a lot bigger than the outside. "I slept in here when the monsters were chasing me. My daddy gave it to me when I was little"

"You don't have to sleep in there anymore. Do you want to see your house?", I asked. "Yes, where is it?", she replied. "Follow me", I told her. "Can I ride on your back?" she asked. Nico and Reyna, who had been quiet until now, burst out laughing. "No, I don't let people ride on me", I said. "Okay", she said. I walked towards the Poseidon cabin. "Here's your house", I told her. She stepped inside and looked around. "Does anyone else live here?" "No", I said. "Can I stay somewhere else?", she asked.

Annabeth POV

Piper was sitting in the sand, staring off into space. She was done yelling at me, but I could tell her heart was broken. I sat down next to her. "Piper, we don't know that Jason's-gone", I said, and she didn't even look at me. She was completely unresponsive. I found myself wondering where Percy was. It wasn't a big deal to me, I figured he would survive one way or another. I knew the water had saved him, but had he made it to the island? I looked out toward the water, and saw chunks of wood floating around. The rest of the ship was around here somewhere, there would be supplies there.

"Piper, I'm going to walk around and look for supplies", I said. "Do you want to come?" She still sat there, staring into the water. "I'll be right back", I said, and walked away. As I walked along the beach, I found a gold drachma laying in the sand. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. When I looked out into the water, I saw a Celestial Bronze sword floating in the water. I walked out into the icy cold water and picked it up. I knew I would need it.

Nico POV

Chiron had called all of the head counselors into the meeting room, along with Reyna. Thalia, Eve, me, Malcolm, Drew, Clarrise, Connor and Travis Stoll, Jake Mason, and Grover all sat around the table. Mr. D was asleep with a wine bottle in his hand. I suddenly realized Eve was the head counselor of the Poseidon cabin. "Now that we're all here, I have a favor I need to ask", Chiron began. "Eve does not want to stay in the Poseidon Cabin by herself, so, with the consent of the other members of the cabin, I would like someone to become an adoptive cabin for her"

"I'll do it!" said Thalia and Katie at the same time. "Umm no thanks, I don't come to babysit", said Drew and walked out of the room. "Ok, it looks like Thalia and Katie both want to, so we'll have to ask Eve". Everyone looked at her. "I don't know, maybe I should be both of their friends so I'll know who to go with", she said. "Good idea, Eve", said Chiron. "Meeting adjourned"

Thalia POV (SURPRISE AGAIN)

I couldn't believe this would ever happen, but I quit the Hunters. I needed to stay and help at camp after all the main leaders died. After the meeting was over, I walked out of the Big House with Katie. "So, Katie, why exactly do you want to adopt Eve to your cabin?" I asked. "Well, I owe Percy for saving the camp all those times, and watering my garden for me", she said. "I think looking after his sister is the least I can do for him. She's also really cute. What about you?" she said with a small smile. "Well, with Jason-" I couldn't bring myself to say dead. "-gone, I'd like to have some family with me. Also, I recognize her. I don't know where I've seen her, but I have seen her before. Oh, and don't mention Percy to Eve, alright? I don't want to make her sad" "Ok, good thinking", Katie replied. Eve ran up behind us.

"Hey, I'm Eve and I like playing at the beach and drawing pictures!" she exclaimed happily. "Hey Eve, I'm Katie, and I like growing plants and flowers, and being outside", Katie told her. "I'm Thalia, but my friends call me Thals and Pinecone Face", I said. She giggled. "Why is your name Pinecone Face?" she asked. "I used to be a pine tree. I like to listen to music and do archery", I told her. "What's archery?" she asked. "It's when you shoot a target with a bow an arrow", I said. "Do you want to go on a walk around camp?" Katie asked. "Sure", Eve said.

Leo POV

I thought my heart was going to explode. When I was on Calypso's island, she gave me a crystal to use for a navigation device. I had built it on the Argo II. When it washed onto the shore of the island that night, I thought I was dreaming. I grabbed it and looked at the measurement. According to this, we were seventeen miles east of Calypso's island! I ran out into the woods while Hazel and Frank were sleeping. I was on guard duty. I grabbed some rocks and placed them into a flat square. Then, I concentrated my fire as hard as I could. The sand began turning to glass and the heat was turning water to steam. Finally, the rocks melted together into a sheet of solid stone.

The next step was getting it in the water. I tried pushing, but it was way to heavy. Then, I picked up a piece of wood with some nails in it and started making it into a bucket. It's great being a child of Hephaestus. I dug a ditch behind the raft and started filling it with water, then blasted it with heat. The steam power pushed the raft down the sand a little. It hit the water with a crash. I checked my navigation device and pushed off the shore. Frank woke up and stood up. "Leo!" He yelled. "Where are you going?" "To Ogygia!" I yelled I'm reply. I raised my fist and blasted a fire into the air. Then, I turned it to make a horizontal line. I begin creating fire on top of it and wrote out, "Goodbye". I let it burn for a while, the checked my navigator. It said I needed to turn to the east.

I plunged my hand in the water and superheated it. Steam surged forward and the raft turned slightly. I couldn't believe that worked. I put my feet in the water, and lit them on fire. The steam pushed me forward, slowly at first, but then I began to pick up speed. Suddenly a black fun cut through the water in front of me. I quickly pulled my feet out of the water and got ready for a fight. The black fin suddenly appeared behind me. It had gone under the raft. I looked down at a crack in the raft, lit my finger to create light, and suddenly an enormous black shark ripped the boat in half. I sailed through the air, gasping for breath.

Percy POV

That night, I sat staring out into the ocean. Suddenly I saw a bright orange light in the sky. Flaming letters spelled out, "Goodbye". I picked up Jason and dragged him into the water, then used it to push us toward the light. It began to fade, so I checked our coordinates with my sea powers. All I could see was a hazy eye. It looked like a huge cyclops eye...like Polyphemus. We were in the Sea of Monsters. I kept pushing us with the water, and soon reached the location of the flames. I saw Hazel and Frank on the beach, in small beds made of sand.

Frank POV

It's official. I hate this island. First I have to collect wood as a beaver, then Leo ditches us to hang out at oh jee jee hut, and now I can't get back to sleep because the sand is so itchy. Just then, I heard someone yell and saw Percy and Jason, flying through the water. "Hazel, wake up!" I yelled. "Percy and Jason are here!" Hazel's eyes snapped open and she saw Percy. She ran up to him and threw her arms around him. Jason was still floating I'm the water. "Hazel, Frank! It's so great to see you", said Percy. "What's wrong with Jason?" I asked, full of worry. "He's been unconscious since we got here. He's barely still alive. He's hardly breathing at all, and his pulse is slow", Percy replied sadly. Hazel and Percy grabbed him and laid him in the sand.

"Where's everyone else?" Percy asked. "Leo went to O Gigi hut, I don't know where Annabeth and Piper are", I said. "You mean Ogygia?" Percy asked in shock. "Yeah, that!" I said. "I've been there. It's Calypso's island. No one can find it unless they're meant to go there", Percy told us. "Well, Leo's going", said Hazel. "Will you help us build a shelter?" She asked. "Yeah, we need one. In every survival movie..." Percy started. I groaned loudly. "ENOUGH WITH THE MOVIES", I yelled. Flames shot out my nose as I realized I had turned into a dragon. Percy stared at me In shock. I felt bad for getting so mad at him, but I was tired of hearing about movies. This isn't a movie. This is real.

Thalia POV

Katie and I had just finished giving Eve a tour of the camp, when Grover and Nico ran up to us. "Thalia, Katie, Percy's alive!" they yelled at the same time. "How is that possible?" Katie asked. "I can tell, being a son of Hades..." Nico started to say. "...and I can still feel his life force with our mental link!" Grover finished. "Who's Percy?" Eve asked. "Eve, Percy is your big brother", Katie said. "Yay!" She squealed. "I've always wanted a brother!" "We need to tell Chiron!" I said, finally coming to my senses after the shocking news.

After telling Chiron, he called the whole camp to a meeting to discuss the news. I stepped out and sent and IM to Artemis. "Lady Artemis", I called. She turned around holding her bow. "Thalia! It's good to see you. I was just practicing some archery". "Artemis, we need the hunt to find Percy. He's still alive and if he is the rest of the Seven probably are too", I said. Her jaw dropped. "I will assemble the hunt immediately", she said. I knew Artemis considered Percy the only decent male to ever exist. Suddenly there was a flash of white lightning, deep blue seawater, midnight black shadows, golden sunlight, green vines, plants, silver moonlight streaks, fiery red flames, green and white beams of light, and grey flashes. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Dionysus, Demeter, Artemis, Ares, Hermes, and Athena appeared at Camp Half-Blood.

Leo POV

Everything in my life flashed before my eyes. The prophecy rang over and over again in my head. An oath to keep with a final breath, I thought. Suddenly I knew. I had sworn in the River Styx to return to Calypso. I hit something solid with a loud crack and I gasped for breath. I looked at my navigator before it slipped out of my hand. Ogygia was less than one mile away. I slid off of the solid thing and felt my self floating in the water. The waves pushed me against a soft beach. I looked to the side and saw a familiar white sand beach and a hut. A girl ran out. I exhaled one last time. An oath to keep with a final breath.

My eyes fluttered open. All I could see was white. I knew I was dead. I heard a soft voice calling my name. Leo, it said again. I tried to speak, but my voice made no sound. I reached up to rub my eyes, and my arms weren't there. I tried to blink, but I had no eyelids. I tired to run away but I didn't have a body. My soul floated in e,lay space. Suddenly the feeling returned to my body and I opened my eyes. I was in a small box, in a hole. I looked down and saw I was wearing a white suit. A lid closed on the box. I was being buried.

I reached up with my arm to push open the lid, but it was too late. Dirt and sand covered the surface. I lit myself on fire and the coffin immediately burned. The fire was so hot sand began to melt into glass. I screamed, and hot gas flew out my mouth. It exploded and sent dirt flying off of me. I heard a scream and something thump. I tried to sit up, but I couldn't move past my waist. I reached up with my arm and blabbed a glass ridge, then pulled myself out of the whole. I lay on my back, sucking in the fresh oxygen. Someone grabbed me and pulled me up. I turned my head and saw Calypso, just as beautiful as when I left.

Percy POV

After we built a small shelter big enough for all of us to sleep in, we started looking for food. If we had Piper's cornucopia, we would have plenty, but that was lost in he battle with Gaea. I found a coconut on a tree, and used the water to pick me up and used Riptide to cut it down. It dropped and cracked open. I continued cutting down coconuts, but this time I caught them with the water and placed the, in a pile. After I finished, I had more than 50 from the trees on the island. Just then a monkey walked up holding a bushel of bananas. (A/N: Is bushel right? Lol idk)

I prepared to fight the monkey for his bananas, but then it turned into Frank. "Monkeys are naturally gifted at finding bananas, and can climb faster. Don't say a word", he said, glaring. Hazel walked back with some other fruits, and we put all the food in a pile. The signal fire Leo had made was still burning. Suddenly I had an idea. I walked over to the fire holding a banana and threw it in. "For Hestia", I said. Suddenly she appeared. "Perseus! It is good to see you. Everyone thinks you and the rest of the Seven are dead, and Hades hasn't told them otherwise". "Thanks Lady Hestia, It's good to see you too. Do you know how we could get off this island and back to camp?" "I could try talking to Hermes, he is the god of traveling", she replied.

"That would be great", I said. She flashed out. I walked back to Hazel and Frank. "I just had a little chat with Lady Hestia, and she is going to help us get off the island", I told them. They both jumped up and started celebrating. Frank grabbed Hazel and pulled her close, then kissed her cheek. She threw her arms around Frank. They backed away from each other, feeling awkward. Hazel was blushing and Frank looked like he would turn into a bird and fly away. "Guys, why are you so freaked out?" I asked, trying not to laugh. "You guys are dating already, and we're all pretty much adults now, so don't act like we're seven here, ok? Hazel, it's not the 40s anymore" Hazel laughed at me. They sat back down. It was almost funny how awkward they were.

Just then Hestia flashed in. "Hermes should be here soon, he had some stuff to take care of, but he will come get you. I'll give him your coordinates soon", she said. "Thank you, Lady Hestia", I said, and bowed my head in respect. "Perseus, there is no need for that. We are friends, you do not need to bow", she said. "I a, just showing respect to you, for saving us from this island", I said. "I'll make a deal. If you call me Percy instead of Perseus, I won't do it. Is that fair?" I asked. "Yes, I suppose Perseu- I mean, Percy", she answered. "Good", I said. I saluted her. She rolled her eyes. "I need to get going, but here's some food until Hermes gets here", she said. Suddenly a huge buffet appeared in front of us. Hestia flashed out before we could thank her.

Leo POV

"Leo!" Calypso yelled. She ran over and threw her arms around me. The white suit was singed and crispy from the explosion, and she quickly pulled her arms away. I was still on fire, so I ran into the ocean and put the fire out. Steam hissed all around me. I walked back to the beach and hugged Calypso. "I told you I'd be back", I said. "No one can find Ogygia twice in a lifetime", she said. "I kind of make a hobby of doing the impossible", I said. She laughed softly.

Suddenly a man in a dark black cloak with huge wings of the same color swooped in and landed on the island. His eyes were black and piercing, they looked like they were deciding how you would die. "Technically, you did not find Ogygia twice in a lifetime. You were dead when you landed on the beach. Aphrodite made me bring you back to life". "Um, who are you?" I asked as respectfully as I could. "I am Thanatos, god Of Death. Aphrodite made me bring you back, because she said "Caleo" is her second favorite couple". "What does Caleo mean?" I asked. "Calypso + Leo", he said and rolled his eyes. "She threatened to dye everything I own pink if I didn't do it". I tried to imagine the god Of Death wearing pink as he flew away.

Apparently I've cheated death again. I'll tell Piper to thank her mom for me...Piper...the Seven... Oh no. I needed to help them. "Calypso, it's great to see you again, but we need to leave. Now" "I can't leave the island, Leo", she said. "Didn't Zeus swear on the Styx that he would release you?" I asked. "Yes, but-" she started to say. "Give me a drachma", I said. She handed it to me, and a I motioned for her to move out of the way. I torched the water and made mist. I threw the coin and said, "Iris, show me Zeus at Mount Olympus".

Percy POV

We waited and waited. Hermes did not come. Hazel tried to pull drachmas out of the ground, but Iris called it counterfeit. One day, while we were sitting on the beach, I heard something behind us. I spun around holding Riptide, and Jason was standing there. "What happened guys?" he asked groggily. "Percy blew up the ship", Frank said and pointed at me.

"It was an accident!" I said. "We were stuck on the island, but I called Hestia and she's coming to rescue us" "How long was I unconscious this time?" Jason asked. "A few days", Hazel replied. Jason sat down and rubbed he head. He had a huge swollen spot on the back where he hit the mast. "Sorry", I said. "Why?" Jason asked. "For blowing up the ship and nearly killing everybody. For not being able to help us when we're surrounded by water", I said sadly. "It's alright, man. It was an accident", Frank said. "Thanks", I said. Suddenly something moved in the woods behind us. We all drew our weapons and got ready for a fight.

Suddenly Annabeth and Piper appeared in the brush. We dropped all our weapons and ran forward as they were crushed from five people hugging them. "It's so good to see you!" Piper yelled. She threw her arms around Jason and kissed him. Suddenly we heard a loud roar and an army of Cyclopes charged out of the woods.

Leo POV

"Hello, umm...", Zeus said. "It's Leo, sir Zeus", I said. "I was calling you to ask about something. I was talking to Percy, and he said he got all kinds of cool rewards when he defeated Kronos. I thought he was lying, is it true?" "Yes, it is true. We offered god hood, but he declined and wanted some other things. He made us swear on the Styx to allow new cabins at camp, claim all our children, free Calypso and Leto...", Zeus said. "So Calypso is not on Ogygia anymore?" "No, we had to free her", Zeus said. Calypso walked into view. "Is that so, Sir Zeus?" she asked. Zeus flashed out of the room, but the Iris Message followed him. "Didn't you swear on the Styx to release Calypso, sir Zeus?" I asked in fake respect. "Fine! Fine! Whatever! Just leave me alone" he yelled. He snapped his fingers and suddenly we were standing on the beach at Camp Half-Blood. He shot lightning at the Iris message and I heard thunder roll in the sky. It was night here, so everyone was asleep. Calypso passed out from shock and fell on the beach.

3rd Person POV

A lone person walked down a deserted highway, beside an empty beach. In the distance, the skyscrapers of downtown Manhattan shone in the sky, and out on the water, a huge green statue holding a torch in the sky. The person was young, 17 or 18 years old at the max. He walked down the side of the highway with a backpack on. He wore a dirty black sleeveless shirt and jeans, and some sunglasses, even though it was night time. They appeared to glow and morph colors. A shiny silver watch was on his wrist. Suddenly a shadow fell across the road.

A tall cyclops holding a steel club stepped behind the person. He turned around and tapped the watch. It grew into a silver sword that shimmered in the moonlight. He swung it through the Cyclops and it exploded in streaks of golden light. The person concentrated, and the sword morphed into a baseball bat, and his clothes turned into a baseball uniform. He turned back around and continued walking down the road.

There was one destination in his mind, and he would get there at all costs. As he got deeper into the city, cars began driving down the street, as New York City woke up. His clothes changed into a police uniform and his baseball bat changed into a nightstick. Cars immediately began slowing down all around him so they wouldn't be stopped. One particular car, a sky blue Dodge Viper, caught his eye. He waved his arm and motioned the car over. They man got out to talk to him, but then he jumped into the car and floored the pedal. He weaved in and out of traffic, and took off through the city.

Piper POV

Everything happened at once, so it was hard to tell what happened, but it looked like this to me. I was knocked forward into the sand as an army of at least 15 Cyclopes charged out of the woods and attacked us. I landed int he sand and looked up to see Jason flying backward into the water. Percy stretched out his hand and moved the water to catch him, but suddenly a larger Cyclopes wearing a crown hit him and he sprawled onto the ground. It was the king Cyclops, and he was holding a spear taller than me. Just then a Cyclops picked me up I'm the air along with Hazel. She pulled a shield out of the ground and swung it to hit the Cyclops, but he threw her back onto the sand and used his other arm to grab my throat. "Nobody move, or I'll kill your little friend here", he said in an ugly voice.

That was when the wind picked me up into the sky, just as lightning struck six of the Cyclopes, including the one who had me. They immediately disintegrated. Frank was a bear, and he killed three more. That left six, including the king. I drew Katoptris and held it by the blade, then threw it as hard as I could. Everything seemed to freeze as it hit a Cyclops in the chest. He looked down, surprised. And then there was five. Hazel grabbed her sword and ran at a Cyclops, hitting him in the head and causing him to turn into monster dust. Then there was four. The king Cyclops came to his senses and ran toward Jason. Jason sent him flying with wind and he slammed down against the sand. Percy drew his sword and stabbed another Cyclops. Three.

Suddenly a dagger pierced through a Cyclops' stomach. He looked down and gasped in surprise, then swung his fist around. I heard a high pitched scream but saw no one. Annabeth appeared on the ground, with her Yankees hat on the ground beside her. Percy screamed in anger and flung his sword at the Cyclops, hitting him in the chest. He grabbed the sword, pulled himself up and sprang off of the Cyclops' head, slashing downward with his sword and killing another Cyclops. There were none left standing. He ran over to check on Annabeth, and bent down to help her.

Percy POV

I'm not really sure what happened. All I know is Annabeth got hurt and I killed two Cyclopes. I helped her up, and walked back to the others. Suddenly my vision went black and I felt a searing pain in my stomach. I screamed in pain. As the spots in my vision cleared, I looked down and saw a spear coming through my stomach. An arrow flew past my head and killed the Cyclopes. I staggered forward to the water, barely able to move. Jason and Frank ran over to help me. I slowly limped to the ocean. The black spots were covering my eyes now. I felt the water under my feet, and lunged forward into the ocean as I lost consciousness.

I woke up lying on a boat, with bandages wrapped all around my stomach and chest. They were so tight, I could barely move. Jason walked up to me. "He's awake! Guys, he's awake!" he yelled. Frank, Annabeth, and guy in a mailman's uniform walked up beside my bed. I could tell it was Hermes, which meant we were off the island. I tried to sit up and immediately regretted it. "Calm down, Percy", said Hermes. "We'll be back at camp in an hour. Just rest until then" "What happened?" I asked. "You were stabbed by a spear from a Cyclops. Then, you managed to jump in the ocean, which healed you a little. After that, Hermes got here with his boat", Frank explained. "Annabeth, are you alright?" I asked. "I'm fine", she said. I drank some nectar and went back to sleep.

Thalia POV

After the gods appeared, it took a while to get everything sorted out. After Hermes finished up some things, he left to pick up the Seven from the island. Then, Artemis had convinced Eve to join the hunters. After all of that, Calypso and Leo show up at the beach, and Calypso's unconscious. So I'm thinking, Leo kidnapped a Titan!. Apparently, he made my dad, Zeus, let him go. So she's staying at the Big House. It's been a crazy week.

Suddenly I saw a boat sailing in. Everyone ran to the shore waiting for them. As soon as the boat hit the shore, campers began jumping onto the boat and running inside. Just then, there was a huge flash of light and the boat disappeared, leaving several campers floating in the water.

Percy POV

When all the campers mobbed the boat, there was a huge flash and it appeared in the throne room of Mount Olympus, on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. I looked around and saw that Thalia, Reyna, Nico, Grover, Leo, and Tyson were also here. The boat disappeared and we realized the gods were also here. "Let the Olympian awards ceremony begin!" Zeus boomed. Lightning flashed. Zeus is a drama queen. "To begin, all of you will be given partial immortality" Zeus snapped his fingers and we all turned gold for a moment. Then, it faded, and we all looked the same. "Perseus Jackson! Thalia and Jason Grace! Nico di Angelo! All of you, come forward!" Zeus called. We stepped forward. "Is there anyone who would say these heroes do not deserve this?" The other Olympians shook their heads. "You four shall be made the Champions Of The gods. You will have the combined power of all of the gods, major and minor, along with the gifts you have now"

Suddenly the room completely filled. All the minor gods entered the room, and every single one held up their hands. Huge orbs of color appeared. They all blasted into the center of the room, creating one glowing, massive, ball of energy. "Before you accept this gift, I must warn you. The initial process will be very painful, and you must go on another quest for your power to be activated. On this quest, none of your demigod powers will work, only your natural abilities", Zeus warned. Jason spoke up suddenly. "I am sorry, but I must decline this gift. I am done with quests, and battling", he said. "Well, we have to give you something! What do you want?" Zeus asked. "I want everyone at Camp to have partial immortality while they stay there. I want homes and schools built at Camp Half-Blood. At Camp Jupiter, demigods grow up, get married, go to college, live a normal life. I want this to be possible here", Jason said.

Zeus clapped his hands together. The room shook. "The borders around Camp have been greatly expanded. Supplies have been emptied at the beach for homes and schools. As for everyone but the Champions, get back there and start building. Champions, here is your quest" Everyone but us three flashed out. "I want all of you to steal every apple from Ladon's tree. Bring those to us, and then take out every patch of monsters in America. Gaea told her army that should she fall, they should attack the mortal world, starting with New York. Now, begin. You may take supplies, and choose one more camper to join your quest, who can use all their demigod abilities. They will also become a Champion. You must leave by October. Today is September 13th"

As I was walking out, my father pulled me aside. "Two new campers will be coming to the camp before you leave. Choose who you take wisely, because both of their abilities are more than meets the eye", Poseidon said. "Okay", I said. "We'll choose carefully". "Also, I have news. Your sister is at camp, and one of the new campers will be your brother"

3rd Person POV

The Dodge Viper sped along a small country road. The driver, no longer wearing a police uniform, could see strawberry fields in the distance. Suddenly a huge Hyporborean giant ran in front of the car. It hit his legs and he flew into the air, landing on top of the car. He grabbed the roof and held on tight. Then, a Cyclops charged the car and leapt onto the roof. He smashed the sunroof in and reached his hand down. The driver swerved and slipped, trying to lose them. Then, a large tree with a dragon next to it appeared next to the road. The driver turned sharp, trying to make it in, but the tires lost their grip and he sailed off the hill with the dragon.

Both monsters were slammed off of the car, taking most of the roof with them. The car flipped, and slammed into the ground at the bottom of the hill. The driver dove out of the car just as it exploded, sending him flying across the grass, finally stopping when he hit the porch of a large building. He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked over to the crowd of people forming. "James Moore, Son of Poseidon, at your service", he said, his sword morphing into a backpack. "Where's the centaur? I need to talk to him"
