Disclaimer: I am neither Rick Riordan nor am I Brandon Mull, so I own neither stories.
A/N: Welcome back my Wombats, we have brought you chapter two. Thank you and AnnaR5 for reviewing me and my sidekick (that's right Angel of FRIVILOUS CAKES818, payback) highly appreciate it. R&R.

Her eyes widened and she stared at him in shock as he smiled and his eyes glazed over and he passed out. As soon as he did the bubble shattered like glass and dissolved into mist.
Kendra stared at the newly freed teenagers warily, after all, the blonde had threatened them with a dagger.
Then Bracken placed a gentle, comforting hand on her back, "It's okay. I'll protect you."
She smiled up at him, but saw Seth staring at them, and she flushed before looking away.
"Who's your leader?" Bracken questioned, holding Seth by the elbow as if suspecting that he'll probably run towards them. Seth looked greatly annoyed by this.
The blonde stepped up. Her curly blonde hair was escaping her pony tail and her clothes were charred and ripped. Despite that she met Bracken's gaze levelly.
She had dark grey eyes, and an ash covered face, but she looked strong and deadly.
"Why should we answer to you, mortal?"
Bracken looked deeply insulted, "I am not a mortal."
Just then the boy that had somehow known her name, stood shakily. He leaned against another boy and stumbled towards the blonde girl.
"We're not your enemy. We don't want any trouble." His legs suddenly gave way; the other boy had to struggle to hold him up.
"Sorry, Leo."
"S'okay, man."
The boy named Leo was holding up his friend. He had a scrawny frame, but his arms were laced with fine muscles. He had curly brown hair and a cute, Latino, elfish face. But now his face was full of shame and misery. He seemed more covered in soot than the rest of them.
Leo set him down on a rock. Bracken took a single step towards him; faster than Kendra could blink they all had some sort of weapon out. Though, Leo, for some reason brandished some sort of screw driver.
Kendra was surprised and afraid. They were obviously trained in the art of killing. What scared her most was one of the boy's sword. It was black and shone with deadly light. It almost reminded her of Seth's.
"Whoa, whoa…" Bracken raised a hand, but was unable to grasp the black-haired boy's hand. "I only want to read his mind."
The strangers only glared intently at him. The black-haired boy looked at him warily and asked, "Why?"
"A) to figure out if we can trust you. B) To see how he knows Kendra." Bracken answered.
The boy shrugged, "whatever."
"Tell me a truth."
"My name is Percy Jackson."
"Tell me a lie."
"You're not creeping me out at all."
Bracken released his hand and announced, "Well, he's not an evil psychotic demon."
"Why would I be an evil psychotic demon?"
Kendra snorted. "Wouldn't be the first time."
"Sounds like you got my kind of look," Percy responded, chuckling.
Seth cut him off with, "so how do you know my sister?"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "your sister?"
"Yeah…" Seth answered.
Bracken answered for Percy, "He thinks Kendra is his long lost sister." Kendra's eyes widened.
The blonde girl scratched her chin, "actually that makes sense. I mean didn't 9 demigods mysteriously disappeared on that day. I believe their name's were Seth, Kendra, Warren, Vanessa, Trask, Bracken, Raxtus, and Dale."
The three of them shared a shocked look, giving a chorus of, "Holy crud muffins."
"What?" the Leo dude asked.
"What if I told you I knew all nine of them, most of them being on this very beach?" Kendra squeaked.
"Umm…. I'd say we better introduce each other if we're not going to kill each other," the boy was deathly pale, and had an aura of death, "I'm Nico DiAngelo, son of Hades."
"Seth Sorenson, shadow charmer." Kendra couldn't help but notice the odd way Nico was looking at her brother.
"Jason Grace, son of Zeus."
"Kendra Sorenson, Fairykind."
"Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."
"Bracken, Unicorn."
"Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite."
They heard rustle in the bushes, and the heads of the rest of our friends popped out from behind a small sand dune, obviously they had been eavesdropping. "Warren Burgess, past time Albino."
"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena."
"Vanessa Santro, Narcoblix."
"Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus."
"Trask, strategist."
"Raxtus, Fairydragon."
"Okay, so let me get this all straight, we're all demigods," Warren tried to clear up, confused. Then pointed at Percy, "And Kendra's your sister."
"pretty much," Annabeth answered with a shrug.
Warren rubbed his temples, "Well that isn't weird at all."
"so what's with the bubble?" The demigods all shared an uneasy look. Percy cleared his throat and explained.
Cliffhanger, mwhahaha, I'm so evil.
