Last Time

"Zeus, your time starts, now."

This Time

"Let me start this off by saying that I have no idea what is happening other than from what I'm guessing, that Annabeth was taken. Am I right in that regard?" Percy nodded, "Ok then, I did not take Annabeth away from Camp Half-Blood because I didn't do it. Now Hera could've done it but I do not know other than that I didn't do it and Apollo can verify that." Zeus stated

"Apollo is he telling the truth?" Percy asked

"Yes, by all accounts." He replied

"Good. Zeus, I believe you." Percy stated, "Now Hera, Miss Queen Bitch, and Jealous Bitch of Olympus you now have ONE minute to explain yourself and give Annabeth back to me or give me a place and a date of when I can get her back. Your Time Starts, Now!"

"Yes, I took her from you because of a plan that I have that has started already, now the place and date that you can get her back is June 24, 2010, at Camp Jupiter. Is that Adequate?" Hera finishes.

Percy threw the spear at her shoulder and spoke, "Well now that's over with, what the hell is Camp Jupiter?"

A moment passed before Hestia answered him, "Percy, I know you want to find her badly, but we can't tell you that because of the newest Great Prophecy that you heard on your birthday."

"So you mean to tell me that I can't know what this camp is about because of the new prophecy?" he asked frustratedly

"Yes," Hestia replied sorrowfully, "but if you ask Chiron about the Olympian Bunkers he can give you more information about why we can't tell you."

"Ok then, but is there a way to open these bunkers?" he said

"Yes, I will give you the code word to open all the bunkers." Hephaestus spoke, "Now the Code is Phi Alpha Omega Zeta Delta Chi Iota Drachma. Got that?"

"Phi Alpha Omega Zeta Delta Chi Iota Drachma. And that code opens every bunker correct?" Percy repeated

"Yessir."

"Great. One slight issue though is that the dragon that Beckendorf and I found last summer has gone haywire and none of the campers know how to capture and fix it securely. If you would be so kind to come and fix it and look through any of the bunkers with myself and Chiron the camp would greatly appreciate it."

"Sure."


Camp Half-Blood

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Come in," Chiron spoke, "Percy, this is a pleasant surprise."

"Hey Chiron, I've come with news about Annabeth." Percy spoke

"Do tell."

"Well first off, she's not dead so that's good." Chiron exhaled, " The second thing is that I want to know about the Olympian Bunkers." Chiron suddenly adopted a grim look upon his face

"I hope you are prepared to explain how you gleaned this information."

"That's easy, I got it from the gods." Percy explained

"Well, that makes my job slightly easier," Chiron started, "the Olympian Bunkers were a series of bunkers built by the Olympians during the American Civil War because during that time this valley was burnt down to the roots by the Romans. Now the bunkers were connected by a vast network of tunnels almost like an anthill. The Olympian council had their bunkers mainly as a workshop in the case of Hephaestus' bunker or as a staging ground and training area which Ares' bunker father's bunker was connected to Long Island Sound for naval reasons. Now as you have Hephaestus here with you I am guessing that he is here to fix the dragon?"

"Yes, and after that, he'll come to look for the bunkers with us."


{Time Skip}

The Trio followed the newly repaired bronze dragon further into the woods until they reached a clearing upon which Chiron spoke,

"I do believe that this is where Bunker Nine was. Percy, do you happen to know the code?"

"Why yes, I do. Phi Alpha Omega Zeta Delta Chi Iota Drachma." Percy spoke

When the last syllable was out of his mouth a single red line started at the bottom of the door and ran straight up the middle and formed an outline of a mammoth stone door, but something special happened this time that to Chiron and Hephaestus' knowledge never happened before. Forming on the door was no less than 1200 sheets of parchment paper came out of the cracks of the stone and flew right to Percy. When he was asked what they were he simply replied, "The last Wills and testaments of all the Hephaestus campers who've died, and the code for the big map."

Once all of them had stopped sobbing, Percy croaked out the code for the map and they heard a massive thump and headed inside the bunker. Once inside, they looked and saw the cause of the sound and it was the map of all of the bunkers including the minor god's bunkers.


A/N

So, the second chapter of The Art of the Game and so they found Bunker Nine and all of the dead Hephaestus campers Last Wills and Testaments, now they can start on looking for the other bunkers using the map.
