Bianca's POV:
Bianca whirled around in frustration slicing up her training dummies. The decapitated skeletons faded back into the earth as she went through each one of them. She finally collapsed of sheer exhaustion. She picked herself up and walked to her house. Settled deep within Persephone's garden, guaranteed not to be found by anyone dead or alive. Opening the door she settled on the couch and turned on the TV. She flipped around the channels seeing what was going on.
After flipping through every channel Bianca gave up on trying to find anything to watch. Walking outside she decided to take a stroll through the garden. Without realizing it, she had wandered too close to the palace. She was in viewing distance of the throne room. She hid behind a tree when she heard Nico. He was not supposed to know she was still alive. Finally he left and strolled up to Hades and Persephone.
"Hi daddy," She said as she squatted next to the basket of pups. She picked up Krueger, one of Fang's siblings, and stroked him. He opened his beady red eyes and looked at her before giving her a big toothy yawn.
"Bianca, you know that you're not supposed to leave the garden," Hades growled sternly. Persephone rolled her eyes as Hades bantered on about what could happen if Nico found out his sister was still alive.
*Flashback*
Helios continued to punch himself as Bianca slashed at his control circuits. Finally Helios keeled over, she prepped for the worse. She heard a voice in her head, "Hang on child, I'll save you." She began falling, she braced for the worst. Before she could hit the ground the shadows consumed her…
She fell on some dark black tiles with fire reflecting off the tiles. A man in dark robes crouched down next to her and picked her up. She reached up and touched his face, muttering one word before her eyes closed, "Daddy…"
*End flashback*
"So if Nico discovered you were alive, I can't tell you how much hell he could wreck," Hades finally finished.
"I don't think he'll be coming out to find me soon daddy," Bianca said as Krueger began licking her face.
"Why, he could come out any minute," Hades countered.
"Oh be quiet and listen," she continued as she threw a ball for Krueger. He ran after it yipping gleefully. There wasn't much of a breeze but they could hear moaning coming from a distinct demigod's room.
Persephone rolled her eyes while Hades just shook his head grinning. Bianca just looked down to Krueger who had returned with the drool covered ball in his maw. He dropped the ball and looked up at her panting and what seemed to be a smile. Picking up the ball she threw it over to Hades who caught it and sighed. Krueger ran up to his throne and lunged up onto Hades' lap. Persephone leaned over and rubbed Krueger behind the ears. Just as Bianca was about the leave a darker presence arrived in the throne room. Two men materialized in front of her. Both were wearing black armor, with two differences, one seemed to be blacker than night while the other was as black as the void. One had red markings on his armor while the other had silver and crimson markings. Both had narrow swords strapped across their backs. The one with one with crimson and silver markings had a pair of daggers strapped to the small of his back while the other one had some sort of staff folded in the same location.
Hades sighed while saying, "Welcome Lord Kuragari to the Underworld, blah, blah, blah…"
"Lord Hades, I've come with a message from my father. You need to lock down Tartarus, something big is coming and it'll literally open the gates of hell," the one who was apparently Kuragari.
She spoke up confused, "excuse me, but what do you mean tighten security on Tartarus because some that could open the gates of hell is coming. Could someone please explain what that means?"
"Lord Kuragari, I don't believe you've ever met my daughter, Bianca Di'Angelo."
"Pleasure to meet you ma'am. What I mean is that something that my father isn't telling me is about to…" He trailed off as there was a great rumbling throughout the underworld. Fuhen looked at Hades expecting an answer but all he got was Hades raising his arms clearly saying, I'm innocent gesture. Suddenly the Underworld lit up in a great flash. Fuhen, Muteki, and Bianca were all thrown off their feet while Hades and Persephone's thrones were knocked off their mountings and fell to the floor sending them sprawling.
Shaking the dizziness away, Fuhen stood up and gazed at where the blast came from. A massive chunk of rock, still steaming had smashed through the earth and into the heart of Tartarus. Motioning for Muteki to join him they both summoned one of their mounts, Fuhen, a Leviathan which had black and silver scales whereas Muteki had summoned a demon made of pure shadow. They both jumped onto their mounts and flew off towards the disaster zone.
Hades' POV
Hades could see thousands of the banished beginning to emerge from the breach, all of them heading for the Overworld.
Bianca summoned a skeletal horse and rode off after them. Just as soon as she was out of sight Nico and Annabeth stumbled out of the palace. Both clearly not happy about being interrupted. Hades noticed a ring on Annabeth's ring finger, but said nothing about it making a mental note to talk to Nico about it.
Fuhen's POV
They could already see the extent of the damage. Whatever it was had shattered through the surface and fell into the heart of Tartarus, giving the most vile creatures an express way out of their prison. Pulling his crossbow (Gretel's double crossbow from Hansel & Gretel: Vampire Hunters) out from the Void, which could be harness as a seemingly infinite storage room, and slung it across his back. Telling Levi to land she landed short of the breach. Muteki set down next to him and his mount disappeared into the shadows.
Summoning several Raizons, sentient essences that were duty bound to serve him, and sent them to survey the damage. In front of them a monster leapt out of the pit and charged. It was freaking ugly and they knew better than to charge at it. Muteki whipped out a spear and hurled it at the beast but it simply glanced off the head. Fuhen loaded a pair of bolts and fired, they too bounced off its more As it reached them they both dashed to the side pulling out their blades.
Stabbing into the armor of the beast its momentum allowed them to be cut it in half. Behind them they heard the sound of hooves and saw Bianca riding up, her hair flowing in a mane behind her. Muteki was staring at her so Fuhen slugged him in the gut just as her mount galloped to a halt. She jumped down and the horse sunk back into the earth.
"Wow," she said as she stared down into the abyss. The shadows that flew up spastically were the escaping prisoners of the abyss. They shivered as they knew that on the surface chaos would be unleashed.
Summoning a portal to the surface Fuhen motioned for them to step through. Bianca hesitated but Muteki picked her up bridal style and carried her through. Fuhen followed sealing the portal behind him. Muteki had set Bianca down on a rock overlooking the coast where Fuhen had teleported them to. Pulling out a pair of binoculars he could see the extent of the damage. Sitting right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of California was a massive rock. He could see the stuff of nightmares, both figuratively and literally, emerging from the earth. The low grounds were swamped. Fuhen frowned, Muteki walked up behind him and put his hand on his best friends shoulder saying, "I'm sure she's fine. She'll probably be at Olympus."
"Wait here for the Charon, I have to go check to make sure she is safe." And without another word he opened a portal and stepped through it.
