Chapter 4

Leo

Team Leo scores again! Sleepyface won't even stand a chance. For the past three days, when he wasn't fighting off squads of uglies from the underworld, or navigating the Argo II, he had been studying the Archamedes Sphere.

A long time ago, the sphere was etched with a bunch of super cool codes in a language that Leo hadn't even heard of (admitedly there were a lot of languages that Leo had never heard of). It could have been Greek, but Leo didn't recoglize any of it. It could have been egyption, but this sphere was WAY to cool for anything from Egypt to be written on it. It could just be some language that Archamedes made up on the spot. But it was cool anyway.

Anyway, yesterday Leo found a combonation of codes that could easily change life on the Argo II and possibly (but doubtfuly) the quest to close the Doors of Death. When these codes were alligned, everything electronic in the room would grow arms, legs, and a head. Can you say robot servants?

The first time he did this however, he made the mistake of screaming, then watched in horrer as coach Hedge destroyed what was his TV, iPod and a fake fart machine that he made for poops and giggles. Life was officialy over.

Until such time as Leo could find a new iPod, he decided to "borrow" the Beauty Queen's for a short period of time. Strangely enough, Piper's iPod had much of the same music that Leo's did. The only givaway that it was Piper's iPod was the Pink case that Leo couldn't get off. That stupid case turned into a serious problem when Piper came crashing through his door, scaring Leo to death, while he was listening to it.

"Where is it!?" Beauty Queen Piper screamed at him, an angry look on her face. She was wearing a blue Elmo t-shirt with her dagger in her hand. A truly scary combonation.

"What?" Leo said, although he knew exactly what she meant.

"My iPod Metalhead," Piper said sternly.

Leo decided to take the best option out of this situation: play dumb. "What's an iPod?" Leo asked.

Piper looked at him like he had six heads. "Where is my iPod," Piper asked simply. This time, Leo felt the irrestistable urge to answer truthfully. He felt the words escape his mouth before he could stop them.

"I took your iPod Piper," Leo said. Piper smiled as Leo gave it back to her.

"Thankyou Leo, by the way you may want to know that we are pretty close to Greece," she said. "You may want to talk to Nico about where to land." Leo nodded as Piper left the room.

Leo found Nico on the bow of the ship, sitting crosslegged and staring at the ocean. He had changed into a simple black shirt and lightish jeans. Of course, he still had his aviator's jacket on, and his Stygian Iron sword still at his side. His black hair was all over the place and he was pale, like the only thing he had to eat for five days were palmagranite seeds.

"Sup bra?" Leo said as he sat down next to Nico. He stared at Leo for a few seconds before turning his gaze back upon the ocean.

"It's my fault they're gone," Nico said, eyes cast downward.

"No it's not," Leo said before he could go any further. "If it's anyones fault, it's mine. I opened that fortune cookie, I knew something bad would have happened if I did, but I had no choice. Frank and Hazed were in trouble and I had to save them."

Nico nodded. Who knew, Leo's screw ups were actually helpfull to some people. "So anyway, I need to know where the House of Hades is," Leo said.

"A man named Anchos can tell us, he is the gatekeeper and another son of Hades." Nico replied.

"So where can we find Mr. Anchovie?" Leo asked.

"Anchos, he lives just outside of Athens, not too far from the acropolis." Nico said. "If we land in Athens, it is about a three mile walk to the cave where he lives."

Leo nodded and returned to the control panel. He started swinging his wii remotes and adjusting some stuff, thinking about what was to come with this Anchovie guy. 'Who would want to name their kid Anchovie?' Leo thought. 'Must be horrible for the kid."
