Hi

thanks to Scarlet Nightshadow and Guest for reviewing I hope you guys are still interested in this story (well it's squeal).

Please review

this Betaed (is that a word?(!)) by Scarlet Nightshadow infact she wrote the whole bit from when Annabeth says "oh my gods! what is that?!" to the end and gave me some great ideas for how this story could continue.

Percy leaned against the rail watching the water lap the side of the boat; he sighed and placed his head in his hands.

"Hey." Luke said as he walked up to Percy, "Look I just wanted to say…"

"Just wanted to say?" Percy prompted after a minute.

"Thanks and well I know that I can't undo the past but I am really sorry about what I did and I know that doesn't make up for it but I swear to you right now that I am done with trying to bring down the gods and it's because of you. Because even though you've only been at camp for just over a month and you've spent most of that time on a quest, you've changed things for me and everyone." Percy gave him a confused look and Luke continued, "I mean you found the lightning bolt and now you're on a quest for the second time, most half-bloods only get to go on one quest and that's if they're lucky. Trust me Percy you're gonna change things around here. And I know I have no right to ask you this but well do you think maybe someday, not today, but someday you could maybe forgive me?"

Percy stared at him his mouth hanging slightly open and after a minute Luke shook his head and walked away, Percy was about to call after him until he heard Annabeth shout, "Oh my gods! What is that!?"

Percy turned to where Annabeth was to see some invisible horse spirits, three to be exact, with demigods on them, but the demigods did not look friendly. They look like they're coming toward the boat, Percy thought.

Percy ran over to Annabeth, he could hear footsteps behind him, so he could only guess Luke was right behind him.

"Are those storm spirits?" Luke asked Annabeth, who nodded in response.

"I think we're in for a really big fight right here," Percy said staring down at the demigods and storm spirits.

Luke and Annabeth nodded while they hear a clop-clop-clop coming their way. They instantly knew it was Grover coming to see what the commotion was about and when he saw them, he gasped.

The storm spirits landed and the demigods got off only for the questers to recognize one of them as Chris Rodriguez. The other two were unknown to them. The three of them were about the same age, so somewhere around 16. The first of the other two looked like he was annoyed but he also looked like he had been working out. He had short black hair and hazel eyes. The last person looked like he could be a son of Ares, okay that might be right because his muscles are huge. He has ear length brown hair and brown eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Percy asked the three arrivals, six if you count the storm spirits.

"To have you join us," Chris said opening his arms to signal the three of them.

"We don't even know who all of you are," Annabeth said looking at the two beside Chris.

Chris gasped and said mockingly, "The daughter of Athena doesn't know who we are."

"Shut up," She ground out through gritted teeth.

"Aww, did Chris hit a nerve?" The brown haired guy said.

"Leave her alone," Percy growls. "And introduce yourselves."

The brown haired guy shares a look with Chris and sighs, "Fine, I'm Hunter Slade, son of Ares."

"I'm Ace Richardson, son of Nemesis," Black haired guy said.
