They walked into the room seeing the αψεγάδιας's handiwork, and then they saw that it was still fighting some skeletons. They watched in awe, the αψεγάδιας was moving so fast none of them could even see it moving. They knew when it had struck, a limb would fall off. This dance however ended when the αψεγάδιας said.

"Enough"

Then it stopped. It dropped its shotgun and sheathed the katar. And then it drew the two swords on its back. They were tanto style blades, that were almost completely black, minus the mystery silver substance that made the edges of the blade. It calmly strode forwards, and the last five spartoi charged at it, one was decapitated, the other was cut in half, two more were killed as the sword cut diagonally across the waist.

The fifth however dashed forward but not aiming for the αψεγάδιας, it was aiming for Annabeth . One it got her in it's arms it jumped through a hole in the wall. The αψεγάδιας followed and jumped outside the building. When everyone else had caught up with it, the αψεγάδιας had a bow drawn and an arrow aimed at the van that was driving away. The αψεγάδιας fired it, the arrow launched a smaller projectile onto the van. No one noticed it other than the αψεγάδιας.

"You missed!?" Percy said, "Of all of the time to miss you choose now, when Annabeth's life is at stake you miss!"

"If you had any sense of perception you would know by now that that arrow had launched a smaller projectile, that was a tracking device."

"I let her get captured, I need to know where the New Garden of the Hespiredes is." The αψεγάδιας said, as if this should make them feel better.

"Why do you need to go there?" Zoe asked, sounding scared.

"A hunch" The αψεγάδιας said,

"HOW CAN YOU BE THAT HEARTLESS?" Thalia shouted, "how could you put your own friend in danger just because this of a hunch?" She said, not much quieter.

"Not my friend your friend, also I cut the part of my soul that felt remorse and love a long time ago, then I put it into a bottle and crushed it." The αψεγάδιας said,

The αψεγάδιας moved to the car and said,

"Get in"

Once everyone was in the car, it drove South. They continued to go south until they reached a small train station, it was secured by razor wire fences. There was no one there, but when they pulled up the gate automatically opened. The αψεγάδιας drove into the garage, the garage had all kinds of cars, motorcycles, and trucks. The αψεγάδιας parked the car, everyone got out. Thalia was the first to ask,

"How did you get all of this?"

"I take jobs from mortals on occasion, they pay very handsomely." The αψεγάδιας replied,

They continued until they went into the actual train station, there was a three compartment bullet train.

"Get on the train" the αψεγάδιας said,

"Why would we do that, boy?" Zoe asked aggressively,

"This will take us across the country" the αψεγάδιας said, "to our destination."

"And where would that be?" Phoebe asked impatiently,

"You consider yourself smart" the αψεγάδιας said, it was not a question, it was a statement. "figure it out."

The got into the train seething. The αψεγάδιας got in the driver's car, everyone else got I'm the passenger's car. The drive lasted only 5 minuets. When they got out they were somehow in Colorado. They went to another garage to find a different set of custom cars. This time the αψεγάδιας chose a white Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Sport, it was already low to the ground, it had brass rims and a sky blue line tracing the bottom of the car. Everyone got in and the αψεγάδιας had to answer a lot of questions about where they were and how they had gotten to California so quickly. They drove up Mount Tamapalis, as both Thalia and Zoe became paler and paler, though for different reasons. When they reached the Garden of the Hespiredes the αψεγάδιας said,

"I plan on going alone, you are welcome to accompany me if you wish" It said,

"Nope" Zoe and Thalia said in unison,

"I'll pass" Phoebe said,

"Go out and meet three other women just like Zoe? Definitely not! One Zoe is bad enough." Percy said,

At this the αψεγάδιας left the car without a word.
