Leo was PO'd.

First, his ship was lugging around a precious statue that could topple and break at any second.

Second, monsters kept attacking him and his friends.

And Third, Annabeth and Percy were stuck in Tartarus and it was all his fault.

He was now in charge of perparing the ship for battle and keeping the statue safe while Jason and Piper led the Greek camp against the Romans.

At least he had Hazel and Frank to keep him company.

And so what if they were too bummed about Percy and Annabeth to be much fun?

Leo and Frank were actually on pretty decent terms, and could even be considered bros.

Besides the fact that Hazel made Leo's stomach churn in a way that closely resembled frolicking butterflies.

Leo sighed, looking over the cockpit through the clouds.

He was looking for somewhere to land, and was getting desperate, which was never good when traveling over foreign dangerous and monster-invested waters.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The makeshift flags rose high in the air, flapping in the gusty wind coming in from the sea.

The camp stood by Thalia's pine tree dressed in their best armor, polished and clean. Their feather plumes were perfect and their stance was threatening.

They wore looks of intent and resolution on their faces behind their war helmets.

They were ready.

Piper and Jason stood at the front, in borrowed armor.

The Romans could be seen in the distance, about a half mile off in the distance, looks of fury and vengence scrawled across their expressions.

Jason sought Reyna marching at the front of the group, her two dogs alongside her as usual. She looked fierce, but there was something in her eyes that Jason knew would help get their attention.

Piper reached out and clasped Jason's hand.

He squeezed hers gently. "You ready to do this?"

"Yes. together."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"As long as we're together."

Percy let go of the rock and fell into the darkness, clutching Annabeth's hand like it was, well, Annabeth, his everything.

He pulled her into his arms as they fell, holding her tightly.

They were quiet, the only sound being the air rushing past their ears.

Percy began to brace himself for the moment of impact, bending his knees and holding Annabeth so she wouldn't hit the bottom of the pit on her broken ankle.

But instead of the rocky bottom he had expected, Percy fell into several inches of mud, part of an underground swamp. He fell back onto his back, holding Annabeth on top of him. He let out a grunt, and Annabeth groaned softly.

He pulled the two of them out of the mud onto some rocks in the dark cavern.

"Annabeth?" He asked softly.

"Yes?" She replied weakly.

"How's your ankle?"

"It's not looking too good... I think I just need to reset my splinter."

Percy examined the make shift splint in the darkness as best he could. He felt for the wooden stick. and adjusted it so that it lined up with Annabeth's ankle.

"How's that?"

"Better I think. Thanks. Percy?"

"Yes?"

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know. Start walking I guess, once your ankle's strong enough."

"Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't let go of me. Please."

"Never."

A/N: Okay, so I know that these first two chapters were really short, but my plan is just to update as often as I get a chance, even if the chapters are really short. So a lot of chapters might end up like this, where it just focuses on the different groups and where they are, with the length varying.

Thanks for reading! Please leave a review, got some great ones last time! Hope to see some more!
