A/N: Okay apology for lack of update, but real life as taken center stage at the minute. However I hope this chapter will tie you over just till I can get everything sorted out, and back on track.

Following Day

Chiron paced back and forth in the Big house. He had just been contacted by Zeus. It seems Lady Artemis had failed to rescue Thalia and now was a prisoner herself. Zeus had ordered that he sent a group of demigods to rescue the Goddess and his demigod daughter. Chiron was wondering what to do. He knew that the hunters would be the best option, after all if anyone could track down the Goddess it was them. The problem was Percy. Chiron knew that the Son of Chaos would insist on going on this quest, only if it was to rescue Thalia. Chiron was certain there was nothing the son of Chaos wouldn't do to make sure his girlfriend returned safely. So here laid the problem. The hunters had never worked alongside a boy before, they had taken an Oath, to swear off men, so there was no way they would approve for Percy to travel with them. This Of course could cause the son of Chaos to go off on one of his solo crusades. Causing more problem for the ageing old centaur. Chiron growled, why did the Gods all way have to put him in these difficult situations.

Chaos cabin

Percy slowly opened his eye to see a mess of black hair on his chest. At first he thought everything had been a dream, and that Thalia hadn't been taken and that she was here right now with him. However when he noticed the mass of hair move and chocolate brown eyes looking at him and not electric blue, his heart sank. It was then everything that had happened last night came flooding back to him. Kronos had invaded his dreams once more. Only this time he had really crossed the line. It seems he wanted to make Thalia his queen. Well that wasn't going to happen, not if he had anything to say about it. Percy then remembered waking up and finding Bianca standing in his room just in her nightgown. He then remembered allowing her to share his bed. This had been a good idea in the end as he had suffered no more nightmares, since Bianca had been snuggled up next to him. It was then his face broke into a small smile as he gazed at Bianca looking right at him,

"Morning Bianca. By the way thanks for last night. It really helped me." Percy watched Bianca face turn from worried to happy. He could tell that she was worried he would have a go at her, however that wasn't going to happen. This girl had helped him last night, and that is all that mattered to Percy. Now though it was a new day, and Thalia needed rescuing. "You had better go wake your brother. The camp horn will be sounding soon for breakfast."

Bianca climbed out of bed and stretched. Percy face turned a little red as he noticed that when Bianca had stretched her nightgown had rode up showing off a pair of pink panties. Percy reverted his gaze to something else in the room. It was then he noticed the small smirk from Bianca as she left his room.

Percy fell back onto his pillow, as he did he heard the horn sound. Percy climbed out of bed and then moved into his private en-suite to get ready. Percy smiled at how good he had it here in this cabin. Everyone else was forced to share the camp showers, where he had one all to himself. Not only that but he also had a huge tub with a built in Jacuzzi. Percy dreaded to think what would happen if any of the Aphrodite girls found out about it. Once he had finished his shower he looked into the mirror and began to make sure his hair was okay. He applied a little Joop aftershave and then left the en-suite to find both twins were waiting for him. The three of them then left the cabin and headed towards the mess hall.

Mess Hall

Chiron stood at the front and looked at all his campers. This was either going to run very smoothly or turn into a complete disaster. "Camper can I please have your attention. This morning I received some troubling news from Olympus. It seems Lady Artemis has been taken prisoner and is now missing. Lord Zeus has asked that I send a team of demigods to investigate. Now I want you to understand that this quest could be the most difficult any demigod has faced. That is why I have already decided on who will going. As The Goddess in questions is Lady Artemis, then it is only fitting that it falls to her hunters to take up this mission. However they will not be travelling alone. I have also chosen a representative from camp half-blood. Percy son of Chaos. He will be allowed to choose two others to join him. Percy who do you wish to join you on this quest?" However before Percy could answer, one of the hunters stood up.

"We do not need any baggage on this quest. The hunters are quite capable of carrying out this task on our own. Your campers would only slow us down. Secondly after what Lady Artemis has told us about him" The girl pointed right at Percy and glared at him. Her eyes then locked with Chirons. "He would be the last person we would want on this quest, after all he has already killed two Olympians, what is to say that he won't kill Lady Artemis when we find her. "

Percy just smirked. It was good to see Zoe again. Last time she had died on this quest, after she was poisoned by the beast that guarded the tree of golden apples in the garden, at the bottom of the Titan Fortress. As she laid dying, Artemis had then turned her into a constellation for her service to the hunt. However this time Percy was going to make sure she didn't die. He had big Plans for Zoe. She was already short listed for his new Goddess of the Moon on his council. However Percy decided to put on a little display. He stood from his table and noticed Bianca and Nico was watching him closely.

"To be quite honest, I couldn't give a toss what happens to your precious Goddess. Oh and to make sure everything is clear. I have not killed two Olympians, but three. Dear old Mr D decided to get on my bad side and he suffered the consequences. Secondly only reason I would be joining this quest is to rescue Thalia. Although killing Lady Artemis does sound tempting." Percy heard the rumble of thunder over head. Zeus had not been pleased with that remark. Percy smirked, "Anyway, it's not my place to deal with Artemis, she has been reserved for someone else. As for what you have been told about me, well I think you would have a different opinion once you heard my side of the story, but that can wait. Chiron has asked that I take part in this quest, and so I shall, Of course had he not asked me, I would have gone off on my own anyway, but he seems he understands how much Thalia means to me. So I will go and I will be taking Bianca and Nico with me, after all these two are the only ones I can trust out of the whole lot of you. "

That comment had caused absolute Chaos. All cabins were now standing up around their tables, the Ares cabin even had their weapons drawn. The comment about the Goddess had not gone down well with the hunters and even they were now drawing their bows and each one had a lock on Percy.

Chiron stamped his hooves onto the wooden floor to gain everyone attention. "That is enough! Now everyone take their seats. Percy you know the rules of camp, only those who has been claimed may take part in a quest. Bianca and Nico have not been claimed yet so they are not allowed to take part. Would it not be better if Mark and Annabeth join you on this quest.."

The hall filled with laughter, as Percy completely lost it. "That a good one Chiron. With what happened last night, those are the last two people I want watching my back. No I have made my decision. Bianca and Nico will be joining me on this quest, with your permission or not." Percy then left the mess hall with Bianca and Nico, leaving a speechless Chiron standing at the front now with an angry group of campers shouting and arguing.

Olympus

Up in Olympus the Gods and Goddesses were having their own argument. They were all trying to find out just who the two children with Percy belonged to. Everyone in the council had declared that they didn't belong to any of them, it was possible they were the children of a minor God or Goddess but many of them had left Olympus, and gone to join Kronos. Zeus sat looking across at what was left of his Olympus council. Three thrones stood crumbled and one throne stood vacant.

"So we are all agreement, that these children with Percy do not belong to any of us." Zeus noticed everyone nodded. "In that case, we need to find out just who they are? If Percy has already brainwashed them to join his crusade against Olympus, then they could become a huge threat to us. We need more information. Hermes see what you can find out. Now as for the quest, it seems Chiron once again has chosen wisely. The Hunter are indeed the best choice for this quest."

"Father what about the son of Chaos? Chiron has also decided that he will take part in this quest. We all know that he is targeting Olympians, what happens if he decided to take advantage of our sister in her weakened state?"

Zeus looked to Athena. His daughter had a point. Percy had already killed three Olympians, Artemis would be easy pickings, especially after her torture. "It is a worrying, however hopefully he will be more distracted with the Titans. After all if we are going to win this war, then a few less enemies to kill would be nice."

Athena sat back in her throne, arms crossed, a frown on her face. It seems her father wanted to leave everything up to chance. Well Athena wasn't going to standby and watch her sister die at the hands of that demon child. If Percy did try anything then she would intervene. She was certain the little brat wouldn't dare mess with the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle strategy.

Chaos Cabin

Percy was in his room sorting everything out. If everything went the way it did before, then he could cut the Hunters off in Washington. That had been the first place they had seen Atlas, or as he was called the general. Percy was certain that Chiron wouldn't agree to his request and no doubt choose two others to join the hunters. Of course Percy would go anyway, there was nothing stopping him leaving camp this time, last time he had got in a tangle with the recently killed God of Wine, and had managed to escape on Blackjack. Now though he could just open a portal and be anywhere in a matter of minutes. Being the Son of Chaos was the best decision he had ever made in his short life. The creator of the universe had done more for him these last three years then Poseidon ever did. He had just finished packing his rucksack when noticed Bianca and Nico was stood by his bedroom door arguing.

Percy came out of the room to see what they were arguing about, it seems Nico wasn't too happy with going on this quest and would rather stay here in camp. Bianca on the other hand couldn't wait to go, she already had a small bag packed and her bow now on her shoulders with her quiver on her back. Percy cringed at how much she looked like a hunter.

"Okay both of you quit it now! Nico I know you don't want to go, but you can't stay here. If camp finds out who you really are and Olympus is alerted then your life would be in great danger. Now please go pack a small rucksack, you don't have to worry about money that is all being taken care of." Percy then went back into his room and closed the door. He looked through the blinds and noticed that Mark and Annabeth was making their way towards the big house. Percy smiled, Chiron was so predictable. He looked to the hill to see the hunters were already assembled. He was planning on waiting a day or so, but decided instead that he and the twins could check into a nice hotel in Washington and cut the hunters off at the Smithsonian Museum. He picked up his rucksack and then walked out to the lounge area where both Bianca and Nico was waiting for him.

"Ready you two." Percy noticed both twins nodded. He then focused on the Washington Monument and created a portal just outside it. He noticed there didn't seem to be anyone around it. "Okay you two in the portal quickly." Percy watched as both teens walked through the portal, Percy quickly followed them.

Back at the Big house

Chiron just stood there and looked at what was happening in front of him. The hunters were still not two pleased that they were going to have company. However when he had sent one of them for the prophecy, it had mentioned that both camp and the hunters would have to work together on this quest. The fact that Percy was not going to follow the rules, meant he had to choose another two campers to assist the hunters. Annabeth and Mark were his two most experienced and decided they would go. However it seems even Mark and Annabeth didn't want to work together. Chiron groaned. Finally he couldn't take the arguing any more.

"Enough! This is not up for debate. Zoe, I know how you feel, but the prophecy does say that you will have to work with us. As for you two, I know you have had your differences in the past, but this is bigger then both of you. A Goddess is imprisoned and as demi-gods it is up to you to free her. Now as Zoe is of age, I am allowing her to take the camp minibus. You will both be provided with basic pack of essentials like always. Now I suggest you leave now, you have wasted enough time arguing already."

Chiron then turned his back on the group and walked off into his office. He did think about contacting Percy, but if what he said was true then he was no longer on camp grounds. Chiron my not had liked his methods, but least he knew Percy would get the job done. His last three quest had proved that point. Chiron then looked down to his desk, He was expecting the new director later tonight, according to Zeus, he was sending someone else to replace Dionysis. Chiron dreaded to think who."

Washington

Percy opened the room with the key card, he had booked two rooms, both had joining doors, so the twins if the wanted could come into his room. Percy had gone all out again and had selected two top suites with a balcony view overlooking Washington. Percy could see the Monument and White house from where they were staying. Just then he turned to see his room fill with dark smoke. Out of it walked Hades.

"Percy are the twins with you?" Percy noticed the urgency in the God of the dead voice. He nodded his head towards the door that connected their rooms. He watched as Hades opened the door and then walked in. Percy decided to follow in afterwards. He wondered what was causing Hades to act like this.

"Lord Hades, is everything okay?" Percy noticed Hades turned to him and shook his head. "I am guessing that the twins have been discovered by Olympus and now they are investigating who their godly parent is." Percy noticed Hades just nodded.

"Yes Percy, as usual you are spot on. My contacts on Olympus tells me that Hermes has been ordered to find out who these two belong to. So to keep them safe, I am going to place a spell on both of them. This will transport them both to underworld in a moments notice. I know I can trust you with them Percy, but I can't say the same for anyone else. Last thing I need is another Hazel situations, which reminds me. She has settled in well and is doing fine. So you don't need to worry about her. Now Bianca and Nico come here please."

Percy watched as both twins approached their father. He then heard Hades chant in ancient Greek and both twins were surrounded by a soft glow. Once the glow had died down, Percy noticed that Hades stood back next to him. "There, that will give them some protection. Olympians are not allowed to step in each others domains unless invited so if they are transported to me then they will be safe.. Any way Percy I wish you the best of luck in rescuing Thalia. As for you two, behave yourself for Percy, okay. No more arguing." Hades noticed both twins just nodded their head. Hades then vanished in a cloud of black smoke, leaving just Percy and the twins.

"Okay you two, get settled in and then we go down to the restaurant and get something to eat." Percy then left the twins and returned back to his room, and began to unpack stuff. Once he was finished, he turned to the door to see both twins waiting for him. Percy then lead them out of the room and down to the restaurant area.

Later That Night

"Well hello again Son of Chaos. I hope I was disturbing a nice dream. After all we can have you having those can we."

Percy growled as he found himself back in the Titan Fortress. It seems Kronos was going to be bitch tonight and cause trouble. Percy noticed that Thalia was looking worse being stuck under the sky next to Artemis. He could already see a few strands of her black hair had gone grey. Percy closed his eyes, just then he heard Kronos speak once more.

"It must be so hard to see the one you love suffer. Then again according to my sources you have another female companion who you care for just as much as you do for the daughter of Zeus. Maybe I could have both Thalia and this girl serve me. Yes a queen and a mistress does sound good. However I wonder if the daughter of Zeus knows about the girl sharing your bed, while she is left to suffer holding up the sky. I wonder what would happen if I told her."

Percy snarled. "For you information Father time! Thalia already knows about the girl in question and she is fine with it. Maybe instead of invading my dreams every night, you should be worried about how close I am getting each day to this little fort you call home. It won't be long now, and I will make sure when I take care of you, it will be for good. No Tartarus for you! No I am going to completely wipe you from existence. The name Kronos will just be a footnote in some old book."

Kronos eyes glowed. "You destroy me! King of the Titans. Ha ha ha , don't make me laugh little Hero. You will be dead before you can ever touch me with that blade you carry. There will be no Underworld for you, no I will make sure you suffer in the deepest pits of hell. Day and night you will be tortured, knowing that I am enjoying both your girls every night. Ha ha ha ha"

Percy again found himself waking up in a sweat. He looked to the joining door and it was de je vu all over again. There stood was Bianca. Percy didn't even hesitate and pulled the covers off. He watched Bianca hurry over to the bed and climb in and snuggle next to him.

"Same dream Huh" Bianca noticed the sweat still pouring down Percy face. She placed her hand on his chest and cuddled closer to him. "We will get her back Percy, don't worry. Now why don't you lay back on the pillow and try get some sleep. I will be right here next to you."

Percy looked at Bianca and then just nodded. He pulled her into his embrace, and again got the whiff of her strawberry shampoo. The smell seemed to calm him, and he found himself once again drifting off to sleep.

Bianca watched him close his eyes. Soon as she did, she smiled and the gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Good night my Hero." She then snuggled down into the quilt and closed her eyes, A small smile gracing her face.

A/N: Next Chapter will see Percy confront Dr Thorn and the hunters. Hopefully no later then three weeks, but that depends on real life.
