What's up people? I am very sorry that I didn't update in a long time. Sick, homework and personal stuff. I'm sorry. Okay, now I'm going to promise on the River Styx that I will do each chapter from now on in two and a half weeks of time. Anways, thanks for the reviews! I feel so happy. Plus, there were over 300 vistors to my story! Thanks to people around the world! Oreos for you! P.S, as you should know, I seem like a Jeyna fan. Well, truthly, I am, but I'm okay with both. And, in Riordan's Son of Neptune, he referred it often as Jeyna. So yeah... I made some mistakes (nothing major neither minor) after I read SON for the sixth time. So, recently I been through my sixth stage of writing/revising... *I should pay attention more* If you want, go back and read it. Might make more sense, more detail, and more of a visualizing comprehension of the Roman camp.

Great News! I DO own PJO and HOO! Yah! Take that Rick Riordan! 1 HOUR LATER... Okay... I... surrender... (sigh) I don't own PJO AND HOO...

Leo

Leo was tinkering with some metal bits that he had kept in his pocket. He was busy arranging them into a miniature Argo II while he was wondering about the Roman girl, Hazel. The one that, when she saw Leo, blushed all over and started blabbering to him. Was Leo that hot? Hazel seemed familiar in a way. He didn't remember meeting her in person before, but he seemed to see her in a photo once, or… in a memory.

The eight walked to the building where Frank said that they would have dinner.

Frank's mother must have fed him fifty cans of baby food when he was born. Or, his mother had "problems" and POOF! Out came out a baby with an over size stomach. Did he mention that Frank had a um… rather babyish face even though he was what, sixteen?

Leo took a peek inside the slab of brick building. Inside the mess hall, there were war banners and some standards with SPQR on them on one wall. There was a pole in the middle of the wall, with a golden eagle perched on it. Hazel proudly said it was the Twelve Legion Fulminata, as if the eagle was their pride or something. Instead of picnic tables like at Camp Half Blood, there were sofas. A lot of couches, with low tables, Roman style. All the Romans were lounging on them, eating their food, chatting among their selves. There was one table that, had maybe, seating for only two people. Percy said it was the Praetor table. Did Leo mention, that in the air, there were hurricanes of food?

Frank yelled, "DUCK!" Everyone ducked, except for Leo. He thought Frank meant "duck", as in the yellow little thing with webbed feet that says, "Quack quack!".

That little mishappen caused him to have a plateful of food balanced on his head, while some Caesar salad hurled itself onto Leo's curly (and very tangled) hair. Everyone laughed, but especially the girl Hazel. Hazel, half still grinning, told everyone, but mostly Leo, that there were invisible wind sprits called aurae that made the campers food. They sent it flying in the air. If you get up and not see where you were going, then you would be ponged by could see bits of a ghostly light blue elfish faced girl that looked like Mellie, a wind nymph, who had then served as Aeolus's assistant on Jason, Piper and Leo's quest, but thanks to them, she was fired. But, on the bright side, she became Beauty Queen's dad's personal assistant. She (the aura) was dressed in a white plain dress scowling at Leo. Suddenly, the wind itself slapped Leo in the face. Like literally slap. Leo flinched, and yelped, "OW!"

The plate then dropped to the floor, but they cleaned their self up. The whole room was staring at the Greeks. Leo felt himself blush beet red and he heard Piper behind him mutter, "Repair Boy, always such an idiot." Hazel cleared her throat and said, "Nothing, go back eating!" They did, but talked quieter and some people kept sneaking glances at Leo.

Frank said the back of the hall was where the Fifth Cohort sat, since they took least honor. Leo blurted, "Why?" Frank glanced at him. Percy told Leo that the whole story, in exact order. Leo nodded, only understanding bits of pieces.

There was only one table vacant. Frank told them to sit in the corner. It was casted in shadows and was beside the overloading smelly garbage aurae kept dumping smelly leftovers in it, which made the group duck each time. Once in a while, it'll become empty by itself, but it'll quickly be refilled with more dump.

Thalia, oh the beautiful Thalia, grumbled something about the Romans having no respect for the Greeks and calling the Romans idiotic warriors in Ancient Greek. (A/N: I'm sorry if that was OCC, I just want that to be pointed out.)

Frank and Hazel went to sit with the Kool Aid maniac who gurgled on Piper. Score 1 for him, 0 for Beauty Queen. Suddenly, Leo's favourite appeared right in front of him: tacos with chili, his mom's style. He sighed and dug in.

Everyone else's meal appeared too. He saw Percy had blue soda. Leo wondered what it tasted like. The sea god's son was talking to Annabeth, and they were laughing together, as if Percy had never disappeared. Grover was chewing on the table.

None of them noticed Leo's #1 interest on his Top 10 Hottest Girls of All Time List walked in with another girl that looked like her, but she was in a black leather jump suit with a chained golden belt on her waist. Reyna had her chin up and Jason was behind him looking boldly at everyone else.

Hylla went to a table with girls all in black jumpsuits. Leo wanted to bolt and go right to the table to talk to the group of girls. But, he then decided better when he saw that they were cleaning their daggers and one petite girl was throwing knives. A skinny guy with a teddy bear from the table next to the Praetor table stood up, smirking.

Jason glared at him and his eyes had a weird glint in them, but the glint disappeared when he saw Leo and the crew sitting in the corner.

He came towards them, with Reyna behind him. She kept glancing at Annabeth with a very serious dagger look, which made Leo like her even more, not the fact she was pissing Annabeth, the fact that she looked so HOT when she was angry.

At that moment, Piper stopped digging in and looked glumly at her black bean soup. Wow, she's over reacting about Reyna.

Reyna said towards Percy formally, "Praetor Percy, it is your duty to sit with the other praetor during meals. You too, Jason." Percy shook his head. "Reyna, I'm going to sit with my friends today. I will sit at the Praetor table tomorrow." Reyna stared at him. "That is very … disrespectful and unpraetor like of you, Percy." Jason said a few words to the group. "I'm going to sit beside Reyna today, talk more about the war and plans for Camp Jupiter."

They walked away to the center table, sitting down, with Reyna glancing at the group coldly. Thalia spoke up. "She needs some chill pills." Percy sighed.

Reyna rose up, surveying the crowd in the room. She cleared her throat very loudly, and yelled, "Romans!" Leo thought that her voice was very rich. Immediately, the room fell silent.

Leo could only hear the aurae swishing back and forth across the room. Something sloshed into the stinky garbage can beside Leo. Gross! Not cool man, not cool, thought Leo. Smelled like an onion and liverwurst sandwich with onion soup.

Yuck.

While Leo was gagging, Reyna began to talk in a confident and loud voice. "Fellow Romans, and… Greeks…" She started, saying the word "Greeks" if it was very foreign to her. She continued, saying, "As you know, the six Greek warriors had arrived in their golden ship as they so called," She had a sour look. "the Argo II". People in the room said, "We can do better!". Leo was hurt. What are they saying about his precious little, well, big, baby? "Anyways, they had also brought our beloved formal praetor: Jason Grace!" The whole room was about to blow. Everyone was cheering and stamping their feet, saying, "Jason! Jason!"

Jason stood up and smiled. He motioned Percy to go up with him. Percy looked hesitant, but he started to walk to the center of the room. Leo heard him whisper to Annabeth, "Trust me, its hard looking dignified in a purple blanket."

Leo loved this guy. Great sense of humor. Leo had a feeling that they might become friends soon.

Percy Jackson went up. Everyone clapped and said his name when he strolled beside Jason, but not as wild as their reaction to Jason. Reyna said, "Jason and Percy had decided that Percy will be the praetor for now, and Jason maybe will once become Praetor again when Gaea is once defeated again!" The crowd's mood dimmed just a little, but it was still wild about Percy being praetor. The two sat down, Percy coming down to their table. Annabeth grasped Percy's hand.

Reyna spoke again after the crowd quieted down. She told the Greeks to introduce themselves to those who had not met them upon their arrival.

Once Leo said his name, everyone laughed at him. Oh, the pity of food.

Reyna said, "Greeks, will you accept to play the war games? If yes, you may be with the Fifth Cohort..." the Fifth Cohort groaned. "And... Praetor Percy." Percy stood up. "I thought the praetors were referees. Reyna shook her head. "One, not two, Percy. Jason... will you accept?" Jason nodded his head. Reyna turned to the Greeks. Annabeth stood up. "What kind of war game?" Octavian smirked at her with a look that said, look at these idiots. They don't even understand what a war game is! Reyna sniffed and explained how they played. Leo arrupted, "So... Capture the Flag, I guess?". Leo thought of it as Capture the Flag at camp. Percy nodded. Leo and the others traded glances. They finally nodded. "We will accept the challenge.", said Thalia. Reyna said, "Very well. We will continue with the team selections after dinner." Most of the Romans muttered something about "stupid Greeks", "we'll show them", "they are so gonna lose", and "wait until they know the history of Fifth Cohort losers".

After, Reyna closed that manner and moved to a far more serious one.

Percy stood up, reminding everyone, about Hera's gamble for the world to reunite and fight Gaea. "Remember, Hera or Juno, had gambled. She erased Jason's memory, which is still recovering. She took mine, and mine came back. Her idea was to reunite the two camps, so we have the power to close the Doors of Death, which is located in Rome. That will also convince Zeus, or Jupiter, whatever, to let us demigods fight in the war!"

Everyone murmured in agreement, except for a handful of people and Stuff Animal Dude. "Beware Greeks with bearing gifts! They are going to attack us, just like how the Trojan War happened! Fall in order!" he said in a shrill and unusually high voice.

Leo shook his head in disbelief. Did they look like they were in a gigantic horse, ready to kill? I don't think so.

Reyna spoke in a strict voice, "Octavian. They are not going to fight. Percy had promised under his life. Jason had accepted them as a home. And, they did not kill Jason when they found out he was Roman either." Leo glanced at Jason. Jason was looking the same way, and Jason nodded, as if he understood what Leo was about to ask. His face read, I told her everything.

Octavian scowled.

Jason told the Romans how he was one hundred percent sure that the Greeks will hold their will.

He stood up again, and turned to the visiting group. "Um.. you will right? This is my real home. Camp Half Blood is my home too. Can you guys swear on the River Styx?" Percy nodded. "We will. We swear on the River Styx that we will not betray the Romans and will hold our promise." The others and Leo repeated what Percy said.

Reyna sighed. "Well, that means something."

Percy, Annabeth, and Jason remained standing while the others sat down quietly.

Jason said again, "The seven demigods of the Great Prophecy will have to travel to both camps, I think. To protect both camps. After all, they're both my home, and Percy's. They might weaken the power of gods if they kill all demigods, which only leaves the gods. Hera had said on our quest that in order to defeat the giants, we will have to cooperate: demigod and god; killing the giants. We…" he exchanged looks with Annabeth. "We think that there will be an invasion at both camps. If we don't close the Doors of Death quickly, well, maybe Gaea will have the strength to rise fully and is invulnerable. The giants will rise too, sending the world in chaos."

There was a nervous ripple. Everyone seemed a little afraid and were whispering to one other.

Annabeth spoke up: "Well we do know who the quest takers are. Leo and Piper from Camp Half Blood. Hazel, and Frank from Camp Jupiter (A/N: Percy told her about the quest remember?) and lastly, Jason Grace and Percy Jackson from both camps. The seventh… well, Jason and the Greek camp had suggested for me to come along. If righted, please raise your hand."

She sat down, looking at the ground.

Silence again.

Hazel, Frank and Percy stood up. "We're counting on you, Annabeth." Percy grinned. "Besides, she's the smartest girl I know. She'll watch our backs, especially mine."

The rest of the Roman camp broke into chaos, yelling that Annabeth shall not go on the quest, but Reyna or Octavian would.

Reyna yelled, "SILENCE! If Percy will be gone, and he is one praetor, who shall look after the camp? Besides, I don't want to go on the quest. I do have a feeling that… she... is the seventh quest taker. I shall not interfere with fate."

Octavian stood up abruptly.

Reyna gave him a cold, steely look. "You will not interfere either!" she spat at him, ready to pull out her weapon. Jason barked, " During the eight months when I was at the Greek camp, all you do is pester Reyna. You want to become the praetor in my absence. Does that help anything? Does that defend Rome?"

Reyna was shocked to hear Jason defend for her. But, for a small milisecond, Leo thought he saw that Reyna was pleased. Jason walked to her side and gave Stuff Animal Dude the coldest glare you can get from the son of Zeus. Reyna's eyes seemed to soften a bit, but just for a millisecond. Here comes some action, thought Leo. Beauty Queen must have noticed too, because she looked as if she was going to hump into a sack, and Thalia's nose was flaring. Jason sure is Leo's old friend, but now, Leo could tell his Roman side, with him wanting to pull out his sword, his thoughts in descision and he WAS kind of leader like. Like Commando Jason or something.

Reyna was about to add something but was interrupted by a pudgy skinny boy that seemed to be afraid of Reyna, Octavian, Percy and Jason.

Octavian demanded, "What are you doing, Acetous? You're supposed to be on duty along with Mira. Now scram!"

Boy, Leo silently thought, how harsh of you, Octavian.

The so called boy called Acetous trembled and said, "Praetor Reyna, and Praetor Percy! There is a troop of monsters outside! The forum is catching fire!"

Immediately, everyone was alert and rushing about getting their weapons. Percy came toward them, with a celestial bronze sword held in his hands. Hazel and Frank too.

Annabeth had told Leo that Percy's sword was called Riptide, and could morph into a pen. Awesome. But Captain Leo could make better weapons! Leo wanted to make something uliminate and cool. Hm. Taco gun? Hammer swinger?

Percy nodded grimly towards the outside, where they could already hear fighting and fire spreading. There was yelling and Reyna on her Pegasus yelling orders at the campers.

"Well, we better go outside and join them. I guess we should go help them, instead of standing here. Just like the good old times." Annabeth, Grover and Thalia smiled (A/N: I included Thalia because Percy was familiar with her)." Everyone was out there now. Jason was no where to be seen, probably with Reyna. Leo had to admit, Jason seemed to have a relationship with Reyna, so never mind Reyna being Leo's girlfriend (A/N: THEY ARE NOT, HE JUST ASSUMES.). Grover held a stick, and his pipes and bleated again. Annabeth nodded grimly, like when she went into a battle. " Let's go Seaweed Brain. Try not to die." She gave a quick kiss on Percy's nose. Leo was about to smirk and say a lovey dovey joke, but he was afraid annabeth would kick his butt.

And the seven went into battle.
