I looked up at the stage, at the man dressed in black. He has bright yellow eyes, pale skin, two slits for a nose and ragged gray hair. He stands in front of a microphone, with an evil grin spreading across his gray block of a face. The man's name: Villain.

I remembered when it all happened. Me and my friend Annabeth were playing Capture the Flag at Camp Half-blood, standing by Zeus's Fist and waiting for the rest of our team. We had just gotten back from our latest quest, a trip through Daedalus' Labyrinth. Just then, a boy came around from the back-side, fighting off four evil-looking Oak nymphs. He wore jeans and our camp t-shirt, but they looked foreign on him. I'd never seen him before, but we couldn't just leave him. Once we had gotten rid of the nymphs, I asked the guy "You okay?"

He said between breaths "I'm okay, I've dealt with weirder quigs before."

Quigs? I thought, puzzled at the new word.

The boy straightened up. He had messy brown hair, deep brown eyes and looks a little over 6 feet tall. He looks about 18, but he could be older, and leans on a staff-like weapon he had used to attack the evil nymphs. He looks from me to Annabeth and asks "Are you Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase?"

Still confused, we answer simultaneously "Yes..."

The guy straightens up "I am Bobby Pendragon, traveler from Second Earth. Don't ask me why, but I am being forced to take you to another world called Panem. Please follow me, and don't bother fighting me. I'm doing this against my own will."

I looked back at Annabeth. The guy was obviously nuts, but we seemed to both have the same thought; Play along, we might be able to figure out what's going on with this kid.

We followed Bobby to the backside of Zeus's Fist. He took both of our hands and yelled "Panem!"

Next thing we know, we're standing in a group of random people. Some didn't even look human, while others were literally animals. I saw a boy about 16, wearing line pajama-looking clothes with...was that a crocodile head on his shoulders? All the people looked just as confused as me and Annabeth were. On a stage in front of us stood the man in black. Next to us, Bobby yelled "Third Godly Earth!" and disappeared.

About 6 minutes later, Bobby appeared with three kids: The first was a boy, normal height for his age, with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, a cheerful babyish face, and a mischievous smile.

The second, a girl about the same age, was beautiful in a tomboyish way, with choppy and uneven chocolate brown hair and eyes that seemed to change color like a kaleidoscope. She looked native American.

The final boy, a tall and athletic kid, would probably be described as "handsome", "cute" or "hot" by some girls back at Camp Halfblood. He had tidily cropped golden blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a scar on the corner of his lip. They looked very confused, until they saw Annabeth.

The latino boy with the elfish features started speaking in rapid Ancient Greek "Θεοί! Ανναμπεθ! Αυτός ο τύπος εμφανίστηκε στις Argo | | και ήταν σαν " Θέλω να σας φέρει εδώ με τη βία, αλλά δεν μου φταίει" Ξέρετε πού είμαστε; Αυτό είναι πραγματικά σύγχυση!" Which translates to "Gods! Annabeth! This guy appeared on the Argo || and was like "I need to bring you here by force, but don't blame me." Do you know where we are? This is really confusing!"

The girl with the kaliedoscope eyes punched him in the shoulder and said "Stop freaking out Leo!" But she too looked scared.

That's when they noticed the looks of shock and confusion on mine and Annabeth's faces. The blond boy stepped in front of the Leo and said "Guys! I don't think they know us. I mean look at Annabeth: she looks way younger then she was before we came here." He shook his head at the confused look on Leo's face and stepped forward tpowards me and Annabeth.

The boy was around 15, same as me and Annabeth. His eyes looked like that balls of electricity. Just last year, I had gone on a quest with a good friend of mine, Thalia Grace. I had gotten to know the color of her eyes quite well. The colors were exactly the same.

He looked us both up and down "Hey. I'm Jason Grace, I think you know my sister Thalia? These are my friends Piper McLean and Leo Valdez. I know you're Annabeth." he nods politley at Annabeth and turns back to me. "And you must be Percy Jackson, Annabeth's boyfriend."

As I gape stupidly at Jason, Annabeth yells franticly "He's not my boyfriend!"

Jason shrugs "Whatever. Anyways, as cheesy as it sounds, we're from the future." He points to me "The future you is at a Roman demigod camp in California."

He turns and points at Annabeth "And the future you is frantically searching for the future him." he points to me, still looking at Annabeth.

He takes a step back "We were about to land in the camp, to rescue Percy and the other demigods in the 7, for the new Great Prophecy. Then this guy, Bobby, took us here."

Me and Annabeth looked at each other. What is with the Great Prophecy? Annabeth told me that she had read the Great Prophecy, and that it concerned a child of the Big Three gods; Zeus, Hades and Posiedon. Apparently, it was supposed to come to pass when said child turned sixteen. So far, it was either me, a son of Posiedon, or Nico Di Angelo, a son of Hades and a friend that tried to kill us recently. It also could have been Thalia, but she became a Hunter of Artemis lats year and, now that she never ages, will never turn 16. He insinuated that the Great Prophecy of where, or rather when, we just came from had already come to pass, but I decided not to question him.

That's when a gong sounded from the stage. We looked up into the grinning face of the man in black as hge said into the mic "Hello comrades. My name is Villain."

A murmur goes through the crowd A dude, wearing a black cloak, named Villain? Too weird.

Villian smiles and goes on "You're probably wondering why you are here? Well, let me explain." And explain he does.

Villain is a demon, a certain type of demon called an Enemy Demon. The ability of Enemy Demons is simple: They combine the powers and appearence of the biggest enemies of the people around them. This means that he is able to, combining all those powers, deafeat any one of us with no possibility of us winning. I can even see a little bit of Luke in him; the glint that he has in his eyes is unmistakable.

He goes on to explain that he first met Bobby Pendragon, the kid that brought us all here. He took on the powers of his greatest enemy, an evil Traveler by the name Saint Dane, and easily subdued him and forced him into a binding contract to serve Villain until he wasn't needed.

He then, using his demonic knowledge of all creation, taught Bobby how to use his powers to travel to other Territories outside of Halla, the universe he is used to traveling in. He then gave him a list of 1-4 people he wanted Bobby to bring to him from each world.

Why, you may ask, does he want us? Well, ever since he found this world of Panem, he has learned of there slightly barbaric history. So, in order to show his power to all worlds, he is going to randomly pick 13 territories to compete in what he calls the First Annual Territorial Hunger Games.

These chosen worlds will send everyone in the crowd from that world into an arena, adding up to anywhere from 13 to 52 "tributes". These tributes will have the memories selectively wiped, and will be sent into a specially created arena. In the arena, all the tributes will fight to the death, until there is only one fighter left. The person who wins is crowned victor and brought back to his/her world. There is only one exception: if all or most tributes from one world survive through the entire Games, they will all be sent back home and allowed to live. (This makes a few sigh, including a tall, muscular blond boy hugging a girl with long black hair and gray eyes.)

Villain smiles again "So now, wihout further ado, let us pick our competing Territories!"''
A small cloud of black smoke comes over and places a bowl of slip in front of Villain.
He picks the first slip and reads "Dark Materials!" A small, 13 year old girl steps up onto the stage with her pet Pine martin, an animal I know well from a report I did in school a few years ago.
"Red Kingdom!" A brown haried boy comes on stage.
One by one, he calls off the territories:
"Mythicalus Rideria!"
"Second MI6 Earth!"
"Cahill Earth!"
"Second Earth!"
"Panem!"
"Second Wizard Earth!"
"Vampspark!"
"Fifth Alternate Earth!"
"Third Godly Earth!"

"Second Godly Earth!"
My gut wrenches and I get the uneasy feeling that he just called my world. Following our guts, me, Annabeth, Leo, Piper and Jason take the stage, guessing that that's us. Up on stage with us are another 19 people, including Bobby, the guy who brought us here, the blonde boy and gray-eyed girl I saw earlier, who are apparently in their home territory of Panem, and a pale couple who's bodies sparkle ridiculously.
Villain smiles evilly again "Well, that's a nice bunch! An even two dozen! What luck! So, good luck to our tributes and Happy Hunger Games!"
That's when the black smoke envelopes me, and I black out. My last thought: Holy crap, I'm gonna die.
