A/N: Woohoo, my longest chapter ever! 1250 words! I'm sorry but my describing skills aren't really the best, so sometimes talking would be stiff like George Lucas' dialogue. Anyways, on with the chapter!

Within a moment's notice, Chiron and the cabin counselors were gathered at the Big House.

"A quest!" Travis Stoll exclaimed as he bounced a ball around on his feet. "Who should go?"

"The prophecy was apparent," Chiron said, "we know that Annabeth and Leo must go, it is stated in the prophecy-the forge and owl."

Annabeth nodded. "Who would you choose to accompany you Chase? Apart from scrawny Valdez?" Clarisse La Rue asked.

"I guess…...Calypso."

"Any reasons?"

"You mean other than she's Leo's other half? She's a titaness-perhaps a demititan now, I'm not sure-but she should have a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

After a few more rounds of talk Annabeth deemed useless in her mind, the meeting was dismissed.

As she left, she dimly noticed Chiron catching up with her.

"Annabeth," he started, but Annabeth cut him off. She wasn't like that usually, but she was annoyed about the events during the Second Giant War. It seemed that Chiron knew one of the seven were to die, but he had never given any of them mental preparation.

"Chiron. What is your business?"

"Annabeth. You need to armour up."

"I don't need your advice, I'm almost 18 now."

"You need to tell Calypso-"

"Leo can take care of that."

"And stock up-"

"Yes, I know!" Annabeth exhaled, exasperated. Deep inside, she knew Chiron only meant for her good, but sometimes it was infuriating. Or perhaps it was her mood.

Chiron looked at her, eyes sorrowful. "Many heroes let their sorrows consume them. I hope, Annabeth, that you are not one of them. Good night."

"Good night, Chiron," she managed, then she went back to her cabin for packing.

If there was another demigod in camp except for Annabeth who was in a bad mood, it was Leo. Calypso found him inside the Hephaestus armory, hammering away at all sorts of special weapons and gadgets. He had told her about their quest, and he had been working hard all night.

"You can't work all night."

"Yes I know, Sunshine."

"Its late at night!"

Leo grinned ruefully. "With you around, Sunshine, it will always be day." Jake Mason gagged in the background while Calypso put on a look of annoyance at Leo's awful lines.

Leo tossed her a sword. "Here, try it," he said.

Too heavy.

He threw her another one. This one was too light.

Leo then took one from his personally forged ones. Calypso balanced it in her hands and it fit perfectly. She tried out a few swings, and took off an automaton's helmet.

"Oops," Calypso and Leo said at the same time.

"Imperial gold," Leo explained, pointing at her sword in hand. "Its merged with a bit of Celestial bronze and its shiny like you."

"Stop it Leo," Calypso chided.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, the only sound being Leo hammering away at a sheet of bronze and the occasional flickering sound of fire when Leo wanted something melted. And of course Jake Mason's snores were the loudest.

"You oughta go back to the Big house and get some sleep, Caly." Leo broke the silence. "If you fall asleep here, I'll have to lug you back to the Big House while you will be snoring like sleeping beauty."

Calypso grinned. "Just get enough sleep for tomorrow," she said as she planted a kiss on his cheek. "Good night."

"Good night."

Day came way earlier than Leo had wanted. He had stayed up alnost the entire night, building all sorts of cool mechanics that were bound to fuck some monsters up. But time wasn't on his side so he decided he would have to make do with what he had crafted and some materials from his tool belt.

He picked up his weapons of choice-two hammers with sharp edges and a dagger in case he lost these weapons. He had his rocket launcher shrink and put it in his toolbelt.

It was decided that the quest would be carried out with Festus helping them. So he had also spent the night gearing up his mechanical dragon.

Upon seeing him, Festus whirled and clicked.

"No Festus, I'm not worried," he reassured his friend, but inside he was. What if he lost Calypso? She was technically a mortal now, and just as fragile as he was. He wouldn't be able to take the burden of her death, and he had almost been driven insane when he realized he had failed to save all of the Seven.

"Leo." Annabeth's sound drifted from behind him, but when he looked there was no one there. He muttered a curse then ignited his hands, which prompted Annabeth to take off her Yankees cap hastily.

"Slow reflexes, Valdez. If that was Nico or Jason, they would have had me pinned to the ground, a sword at my throat. You need to work out, and hard at that."

"Who needs practicing when you can shoot fire?"

"You'll tire, Per-"

Annabeth stopped abruptly, and Leo awkwardly began tinkering with Festus' circuits as Annabeth's eyes drooped to the floor.

Festus growled.

"Sorry buddy, wrong circuit." Leo reconnected the wires as Calypso walked in through the door, carrying three backpacks. She threw one to Leo, and another to Annabeth, who opened it up immediately for a check.

"Helped you guys pack some essentials, just in case we get separated. They-"

"Why does mine have ''Fiery boy of my life' written on the inside?" Annabeth interrupted.

Calypso blushed redder than blood. "Wrong backpacks," she murmured, switching the backpacks.

Annabeth was going to reply when all three heard the clomping of hooves. Moments later, Chiron appeared on top of Half Blood Hill.

"I assume you're ready?" he asked.

"Yep," Leo replied for them, popping the "p".

"Good!" Chiron beamed. "But my pupils, bade farewell to your friends first," he said, pointing to Jason, Piper, Grover, and Clarisse, all jogging up the hill and stopping next to Thalia's pine.

Annabeth hugged Piper tightly, while Leo immediately let loose a bad joke which Jason grinned at. Clarisse punched Annabeth lightly on the arm.

"Don't get yourself killed!"

"Try not to blow yourself up!"

"Be careful and return!"

Just when they were about to leave, however, the sound of footsteps alerted the quest team that there was someone else.

Travis Stoll and Connor Stoll ran up, panting.

"Are we-"

"-not late?"

"No," Clarisse said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, Valdez!" Travis said, "We got you something."

"Its an,"

"Epiclifesaver." Connor finished for him.

"And what does this do?" Annabeth asked suspiciously. "It isn't a troll, right?"

"If we give trolls to give people who are on a quest and need gadgets," Connor begun.

"Then the gods do not have demigod children," Travis finished, which earned him a few laughs.

"Basically this bad boy stuns. If you ever need a quick escape from, lets say, 200 monsters,"

"Throw this thing on the ground and they will be stunned. Doesn't work on demigods or gods, but if there are ever some annoying mortals press the blue button."

Connor handed Leo the device, it was cubical and metallic, tiny but handy to use.

"Gee thanks guys! You two are awesome!" Leo hi fived the Stoll brothers.

"time to go!" Calypso said after a few more goodbyes were said, "see you guys!"

The questing trio climbed up Festus, and the bronze dragon took off to the skies, until Camp Half Blood became a small speck in the far distance.

A/N: And that's another chapter done! RebelOfFate, peace out!
