I guess its time for a proper introduction now :D

I'm only a 14 year old kid :P in the UK.

I have read a few of the Son of Neptune stories written by other writers. But some of them had a few 'faults' in them. So this inspired me to write my own version. (my brother had a part in persuading me too).

But every writer is awesome, i just want to give you guys something unique, and in my own perspective :)

Enjoy,

Speed.

Preparation

Three months ago.

Have you ever tried building a magical ship during summer? I recommend you don't. On top of the big prophecy that was coming up, my friends and my cabin were counting on the Leo-Man. Everyone kept telling me "Your doing an awesome job man" or " Hey you'll complete that in no time" ; easy for them to say when I'm doing all the building and the pressure's on me.

Hey dad, mind helping me out a bit? Just you son dying of tiredness over here. Thunder rolled in the skies. Yeah thanks Pop, just what I needed. Being a demigod was cool for the first thirty seconds then you have dangerous missions and all that.

I mean it totally rocks to find new powers and making 'powerful' friends – and a sister, Nyssa, who can beat me up – but sometimes I think normal life is better than this.

Homework or Fighting Monsters?

Tough Choice…

I turned to Festus' head lying on the planning table.

" Well it's just you and me now buddy, no organic life forms to get in our way. Let's build a Spankin' Hot War Machine."

Piper

The calm lovely morning had been ruined by the news that we received in the Big House during the council meeting. One of the young satyr had found a powerful female demigod; Chiron's belief that she is of Big Three material. He had sent an extraction team lead by Clarisse two days ago, but she Iris messaged us claiming that they were over-run by Earthborn lead by a strong giant. Her team were trapped in a fort in the San Francisco area. A squad of five demigods was to be sent, and Chiron wanted Jason to be part of the 'rescue' team. He thought that we might run into the Roman Camp.

I was frantically running to give Leo the news, he had been busy with the building of Argo II to be present at the council meeting. So I was to ask Leo to join the rescue team. My destination was now close by.

Bunker 9.

Annabeth

Everything had been a rush this morning, the news about a strong demigod being trapped and over-run by monsters had dropped on us like Atom bomb in Hiroshima, Japan. All the campers were buzzing about having a new female camper, especially the boys. There had been a rumour going around that she was the daughter of a minor god, Hebe, and that she could make all of us look younger and more good looking. Definitely useful to the Ares kids.

Chiron had told me to get together a five cell squad and be at Half Blood Hill by dawn tommorow. So I had exactly under 8 hours to assemble the team and get together a plan. Could be done.

I wondered what Percy was doing right now, worry crept into me if he had found himself a girl he fancied at the Legion Camp.

No, I need to think positive and be strong. For myself and Percy. My Percy.

Putting those thoughts asidei concentrated on a fifth team member.

Leo, Piper, Jason, Me, and …

I couldn't think of any campers that would be perfect for this…

Then suddenly.

"Hello Annabeth!"

I turned.

"A little birdie told me that you were looking for members for your rescue mission, any vancancy for me?"

"Actually, your timing couldn't have been more perfect." I said, with relief.

The son of Hades smiled.

"Be geared up and ready at Bunker 9 after an hour and fetch Jason along the way," I said, "Welcome to the team, Nico."

Jason

I had been training with my new gladius at the arena, straight forward slicing and dicing the training dummy for a long five hours. My arms were battered and aching; my muscles were bulging. Life in camp was both fun and tough, yet rewarding. Going through the same process had burned the move into my body. Now I could dodge and strike my opponent in the space of a quarter of a second, the average time it takes for an average person to react; but by then they would be mince meat.

Lining up for a last run through, I slashed at the dummy. Nothing but perfection. The dummy head rolled on the floor. Satisfied, I sheathed my sword.

"Nice skills, hotshot." said and albino with long jet black hair, he was standing at the shadowy corner of the arena.

"Are you a ghost?" I asked, it sounded like a stupid question but the dude had spirits crawling around his legs.

"Almost." He replied with a laugh, and with a wave of his hands he made the spirits disappear.

The aura he projected was overwhelming. I imagined the dead wailing and clawing me; it was so overwhelming that I felt like crawling into a little hole underground and staying there.

"Hey man, snap out of it!" he exclaimed.

"Sorry," I replied, " you have a name?"

"Names' are powerful," he pointed out, " anyways Annabeth has ordered a meeting for the members of the quest to save the new demigod."

"I guess we shouldn't keep her waiting then," I said, "lead the way."

He laughed out loud and replied, "I don't think that's a very good idea."

"Why?" I asked.

"Here's why." he smirked, " try to keep up"

Then he turned into darkness and disappeared.

*Sigh* So much for my big ego.

Gradually I made my long way to Bunker 9.

Leo

Piper had entered Bunker 9 in such a haste that she scared the living life out of me. She explained about the rescue mission, I got so excited that my body actually caught on fire!

Great, now I'm one of the Fantastic Four. Flame one!

After an hour Piper was finished with her story. Shame I had lost her after the female demigod getting trapped bit, but I didn't want to look dumb so I just smiled and nodded.

"You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" asked Piper.

I kept smiling and nodding then after a few seconds I confessed, " Nope."

She just rolled her eyes at me. First sign that beauty queen likes me.

My heart did a little flutter when Piper said that the powerful demigod was a young female. And I hadn't even met her yet.

Man, sometimes I wonder if my godly parent is Aphrodite instead of Hephaestus.

I could really use her charms.

My thoughts were interrupted when Annabeth arrived with the gloomy looking kid that I had mer last time in Bunker 9.

"Guys meet Nico, son of Hades," Annabeth introduced us to him, " now I'll let you guys get acquainted."

I stood up to shake his hand and said, "I'm Leo Valdez – Son of Hephaestus. You can call me leo, I'm the cool guy."

From the corner of my eye I saw Annabeth laughing. Nico noticed it too and oh he got the message.

So much for my cool image, I sighed.

Just then Jason arrived, he looked like someone who had gone through an army crash course in an obedience school. And oh I know what its like.

"Dude, did some monster abduct you?" I asked.

He replied, " No, just trying to catch up with him."

Jason pointed at Nico, I guessed he didn't know Nico so I decided to step in.

"You guys haven't met?" I asked Nico.

"Yeah we have," said Nico, " sorry about giving you the slip, Jason."

"Ah, its cool." Jason replied.

Then Annabeth brought us all together to the planning table, " Alright guys, we need to be ready by dawn so we have just under five hours to get a plan ready and also catch some sleep."

"Okay," said Jason, "let's do this."

Suddenly, Nico walked towards Jason and said, "Jason Grace, I thought you should know this. Your sister, Thalia, is in trouble."

"Wait what, how do you know this… and my last name?" asked Jason.

"I've talked to your mother, Sarah Grace." replied Nico.

Well thats the end of Chapter 2. I had to think up on the spot (whilst watching the tele) this chapter :L.

Anyways remember i write for your reviews, and if you have any ideas on what i should do then do let me know.

p.s Jason's mum 's real name is not actually Sarah, u had to make that one up :/

Next chapter up and running within a week,

Speed.
