*Parthnon/Next Day/Evening Time*
The truck pulled up at the Parthnon and everyone got out.
"Wow, that's amazing! Complete replica of the Parthnon in Nashville." Annabeth muttered in awe.
"Alright, let's get the pearl and get the hell out of here." Ino said
Naruto and Percy flipped their jacket hoods over their heads. The Parthnon entrance door open, the group walked down the steps and they saw a thirty foot tall statue of a Goddess, her name was written in Greek. Naruto squinted his eyes at the letters they swirled around and now read: ATHENA.
Naruto nudged Annabeth, "Hey...it's your mom."
Annabeth stared at the statue, "I wonder if she really looks like that." she mumbled then turned to Naruto.
"We'll find out. I promise."
Annabeth smiled, the two stared in eachothers eyes for awhile.
"Guys! Check this out." Grover said walking up some more to the statue of Athena. "Looks like we found another pearl."
Percy smiled, "That was easy."
Annabeth raised a brow at him, "Easy? It's thirty feet in the air, and there are a bunch of tourist."
"I have an idea." Ino said getting the rest to look at her. "We'll come back after this place closes, come on." Annabeth nodded along with Naruto and Percy they turned around heading for the bathroom.
"Or I could just throw my crutch up there." Grover suggested. "See the pearl fall out." he said looking up at the crown that had the green pearl in the middle.
"Grover!" Percy called for him.
"Perce, I'm just sayin' it's not a bad idea!"
It was night time, it came so fast. The group was still at the Parthnon but they were waiting in the bathroom for the Parthnon to be empty, everyone dropped their feet to the floor of the bathroom. They opened the stall doors walking out.
"Let's move." Naruto said.
"Yes sir..." Grover mumbled.
"Okay, I'm gonna fly up..." Naruto told them.
"Cool." Grover nodded.
"...I'm gonna use Luke's flying shoes..."
"Cool."
"...I'm gonna-" Naruto cut himself off and pulled everyone behind a column.
Ino narrowed her eyes at Naruto, "What the heck?"
Naruto and everyone else saw janitors cleaning the floors and Athena's statue.
Grover saw this, "Okay, so...what're we gonna do?" he asked the group. Ino shrugged, Naruto kept looking, Percy shrugged, he turned to Annabeth.
Annabeth grinned and pulled out a harpoon, "Alright, guys...I got this."
Grover eyes widened, "You got-? Whoa! Aye, yo, aye! You gonna kill the janitors?" he asked in loud whisper.
"Chill." Was all she said then Annabeth walked to another column to get closer.
"Those are workin' class Americans!"
Annabeth shot one janitor who fell down unconscious, she shot another who did the same, she shot another, another, another, then she shot the final one down from the statue of her mother.
Grover and the rest walked over to her, "Why the hell did you do that?!" he asked.
"They're not dead! They're unconscious! Now we've got thirty minutes! Come on!" Annabeth said and ran off to the front of the statue.
Naruto blinked, "Now she...was really hot when she did that!" he grinned at the rest. "Let's go." he followed Annabeth with the others.
Grover dragged the unconscious bodies over in a corner and they were piled up in a pile. He went over to the rest looking at the pearl.
"Yo, what's crackin'?" Grover asked them. Annabeth took out her Apple Laptop and video chatted Luke, Naruto was putting on the shoes, Percy was looking at the statue, and Ino was beside Grover.
"Luke!" Annabeth said.
"Annabeth!" Luke greeted his best friend.
"How do you turn on the shoes?" Annabeth questioned him.
"Tell Naruto, he's gotta break into a run...kinda like a...a jet! A jet on runway! But it's gonna take some practice."
Naruto faced the statue, Come on...that's your sister! Your own half flesh and blood! I beg of you Athena...as your little half-sibling, don't let me die trying to fly ontop that damn thing! Not that you're thing! Please help me fly ontop your statue...he thought rubbing his hands together. "I can do this! Here..."
"Naruto wait." Percy said.
"We..."
"Nar-"
"Go! Whoa! Whoa!"
Naruto ran and his feet lifted off the ground, he screamed the shoes ran him into the statue of his half-sister. He slid down but grabbed Athena's...chest. Annabeth and Ino looked away while Grover and Percy's eyes were widened. Naruto saw this and climbed up quickly he reached the crown, his eyes sparkled at seeing the green pearl. He took his hand and ripped it off holding it up showing his friends with a winning smile.
"I got! Thank Athena! I got it!" Naruto cheered.
"Great!" Ino cheered with a small smile.
"You're the man, Naruto!" Percy smiled clapping for his cousin/friend.
"Yeah, Naruto!" Grover cheered.
"Yeah Naruto!" Annabeth grinned.
Naruto lifted himself down to the ground only to be greeted by his friends. He fist bumped Percy and Grover, he highfived Ino, and Annabeth pulled him in a hug much to his happiness and he hugged back.
"Alright, let's grab everything-" Annabeth was cut off by Percy.
"Uh-oh...uh-oh..." Percy said seeing all the janitors conscious standing all together. Naruto let go of Annabeth.
Grover turned to his friends, "I got this. I got this." he reassured them. They palmed their faces he faced the janitors. He pulled open his jacket. "Alright guys! I'm with Park Recreational Services! You guys have been caught sleeping on the job! You better be I'm not writin' you guys up, okay? This is the last time!"
"We've been expecting you, Mr. Jackson." All the janitors said in unison.
Percy sighed, "Not again..."
"Just give us the lightning bolt and the son of Zeus Naruto Uzumaki...then we'll let you go."
Percy took a step forward, "Look! I don't have the lightning bolt...and I'm not letting you take Naruto."
One of the janitors coughed out a medium size flame of fire.
Grover lightly nodded, "Okay...this is bad!"
"No kidding!" Naruto gulped.
All of them transformed into a five headed hydra. The hydra growled.
Annabeth pulled everyone to hide behind columns, "Hydra! Guys watch out because these things can spit out," a huge blast of fire was delivered from the hydra, "FIRE!" Naruto was behind a column with Annabeth, Percy was behind one with Ino, and Grover was in one by himself.
Naruto's arm caught on fire and he missed and dropped the pearl near a table, he patted the fire away. Naruto quickly got out his shield he saw the hydra bang it's head against it. Annabeth tried punching it, Ino took out a knife and started cutting it. It roared at Grover making him fall back.
"Oh! Oh! You got a sweet tooth, eh?" Grover said jumping up he took out candy bars from his pocket and threw them in the hydra's mouths.
Naruto saw a sword nearby he grabbed it and flew towards the hydra, cut sliced off one head, then he sliced off the other, one head tried to devour him but he shielded himself and sliced the head off, he cut off another, and he cut off the last one. What he didn't hear was Annabeth yelling for him to stop.
Naruto landed on the ground with a grin, "How fucking awesome was that?" he asked. "I just killed it!"
"Killed it? You only made it worse!" Annabeth told him.
"What the heck are you talking about?" Naruto asked.
Annabeth gulped, "Naruto, when you cut off one hydra head...two more grow back."
Naruto faced the hydra and saw the heads growing back, it now had at last ten heads. A giant blast a fire was blown from it, everyone hid behind a column.
Naruto turned to Annabeth, "Distract that thing!" he told her then looked at Ino. "You too!" he looked at Percy. "You and I will go get that pearl."
Annabeth shot arrows at the hydra, the arrows stabbed it's necks and eyes. Ino threw knives, kunai's, and shurikens at it. The hydra went for them but the two girls ran it still was looking, Naruto caught his breath then ran over to the pearl with Percy. One hydra saw them and it warned the other heads, they shot a large fireball at Naruto and Percy who jumped behind a large stone rock. Naruto stuck his head out and a huge fireball was nearly hit his face, the hydra began to climb over the rock. They scooted back some, Percy saw two water fountains. He closed his eyes and lifted his hand concentrating the hydra head was in front of them it opened it's mouth about to deliver a huge blaze of fire.
Naruto eyes widened, "AHHH! PERCY!" he screamed seeing the fire almost out.
Percy shot his eyes open, the water broke out of the fountain he directed it at the hydra's sending it back. He jumped out behind the rock with Naruto and he grabbed the pearl both running to the rest of the group.
"Let's go, people! Like right now!" Ino shouted and ran with everyone else.
Naruto and Annabeth tried to open the doors but they wouldn't budge.
"Come on! Open the damn door!" Ino yelled urgently looking back and saw the hydra coming for them. "We're fucking dead..."
Grover ran to Percy's bookbag and took out Medusa head, he held it up at the hydra lifting the sunglasses off her eyes. Grover shut his eyes looking away, the head turned the hydra into stone instantly. Grover slowly opened his eyes and saw the hydra.
Ino smiled, "Grover you're a genius!"
Grover panted with a grin, "Woooo! Mwwhaa!" he kissed Medusa's cheek then grimaced at what he just did. "Ugh, that's nasty."
Ino walked over to him and grabbed the collar of his jacket, "But is this?" she asked then pressed her lips onto his, his eyes fluttered as he melted into the kiss. She broke the kiss with a smirk then she winked at him going to the door leaving a stunned as hell Grover who was jaw dropped just like everyone else but except he had a huge blush on his cheeks.
*Music City Diner/Night*
Everyone was at a booth eating and talking. Until the news came on.
"We interrupt your regularly scheduled program with breaking news! Scientists are baffled by what now appears to be a single storm cloud...in most of Europe and Asia moving toward the United States. Savage winds, waves around the coast lines of several continents so far...countries everywhere are preparing for the worst."
"The Gods are angry." Annabeth told them. "We need to get to the last pearls, where's the location?" she asked Naruto.
Naruto took the map out of his pocket and placing it on the table, "Hold on...let me see..." his eyes widened at the location.
Grover looked at it, "Guys...we got ourselves a good one! We're goin' to Vegas!" he exclaimed.
Ino grinned, "To turn it up!"
*Las Vegas, Nevada*
Grover was driving the truck and they were down the road in Las Vegas. There were a bunch of lights and stuff that made everyone in awe.
Grover was next to Ino he cleared his throat, "So, 'bout that kiss-"
Ino placed her index finger on his lips to shush him, "We'll talk about that when we're done with the mission." she whispered. He nodded.
Percy spotted the Lotus Casino And Hotel, "Lotus Casino..."
Grover parked the car and got out, "Ohh! I've been waitin' for this!" he told them excitedly. "Alright guys listen! Never split the eights up with the tens!"
"We're not here to gamble, remember?" Annabeth told Grover who ignored what she said.
"We got Poker...we got Blackjack..."
Naruto grinned, "I wouldn't mind gambling!" Annabeth punched him roughly in his arm causing him to cry in pain and rub his arm.
"Grover! We're not here to have fun, we just need to grab the pearl and go." Annabeth told him in a strict tone.
"Okay, okay...this is nice!"
"Okay, this place is officially...dough!" Grover said grinning like a goon.
A worker came up to them, "Oh! Here's are Lotus phone book."
"No thanks we're not staying." Annabeth said turning down the phone book.
"Please we-"
Ino glared at the worker, "Get the hell away from us and take your skinny ass somewhere far..far..away from us! Got that pal? Good! Now get lost!" The worker immediately left.
Naruto turned to Ino, "Don't you think that was a bit too much?" he asked her.
"He'll be alright."
Grover turned to Percy, "Okay...that guy was persistent." he said walking using his crutches.
"Yeah." Percy nodded.
"Too persistent! I'll tell you that." Ino grunted then pushed a guy that was shoved into her.
Naruto saw the fountain spraying water, "We're here for one thing, and one thing only..." he trailed off watching how the water did tricks and big rides and lights.
"Wow." Annabeth said in awe.
"Where would we find a green pearl in this place?" Percy asked mostly himself.
Grover drooled at seeing a waitress with a tight green dress on that stops at her thighs. "Uhh, maybe on a cocktail waitress...or a showgirl! Let's look there!" he said following the waitress and the rest followed him. Matter-of-fact...how would Ino look in one those dresses? I gotta tell her to buy one. he thought.
A waitress went up to Grover, "Would you like to try our Lotus flower? It's sooo good!It's our signature dish!" Two more waitresses surrounded them with a plate full of pink Lotus flowers.
Grover saw them, "Huh, really...signature?" he grabbed two. Percy got one, Annabeth got one, Ino got three, and Naruto got two.
"Thanks." Percy smiled at the waitresses and they left.
Grover looked around, "Aye! Yo! Do we have to pay for this?!" he asked.
"I guess we don't." Percy shrugged.
"We better not or I'm gonna stuff these Lotus' down those waitresses dress!" Ino threatened then stuffed her mouth full of Lotus flowers. She then grinned. "Mmmm...not half bad."
Percy ate his, "Mmm, it's really good."
Grover stuffed his mouth with his Lotus flowers, "Mmm, wow! This is the most delicious thing I've ever consumed!"
Naruto threw his all into his mouth then grinned, "This taste great! No...it's better than great! It's perfection! No! It's even better than perfection!" Annabeth ate her's and she began to grin.
Everyone looked around and it looked as if the room was spinning in slow motion. Then the group looked at eachother and started laughing. "Wow!" They managed to get out from all the laughter and such.
"Guys! Why don't we stay here for awhile?" Annabeth asked them.
Ino grinned, "Great idea, Annie! We can turn it up!"
"That sounds like an amazing idea!" Naruto laughed.
"No duh!" Percy laughed. Grover grinned and made goat sounds. Ino then began to coo at him causing him to coo at her then the two burst out laughing at eachother.
Naruto thought a moment, "But we're on a timed sensitive mission right now!" he told them then his thoughts got foggy. The group laughed at what he said. "Aren't we...?"
Grover grinned and shook his head, "I can't remember."
"I totally forgot what I was about to say..." Naruto laughed then the rest of the group started laughing with him.
"I think I figured it out...I think I know why we're here." Annabeth grinned.
Percy looked questionably at her, "Why are we here?" he asked her.
"TO HAVE FUN!" Ino laughed and leaned on Grover who laughed.
"O-Okay." Naruto nodded then grinned. "Let's never leave!"
"Let's stay here!" Percy suggested.
Everyone bursted out laughing together as if they were drunk. A few minutes later Ino was walking with nineteen guys muscular handsome guys around her, the two on her right and left were feeding her Lotus flowers.
Grover was walking with twelve girls around him with black shades on and the one in the front was holding his crutches. The two in the front were telling him how cute and handsome he was.
Naruto and Annabeth were gambling with motorcycle guys. One of the guys messed up and gave Naruto and Annabeth five hundred dollars which they happily accept. The two hugged eachother laughing their butts off at their victory. A waitress came by with Lotus flowers Naruto and Annabeth took two and ate them.
Percy was playing Poker, he won and started dancing. He saw a waitress and took the whole plate of Lotus flowers and gave some to the guys and girls that were playing the game with him, they happily accepted.
Ino was in a massage room she had on a white robe, her hair was let down, and cucumbers were on her eyes. The guys were massaging her scalp while washing her hair, the guys massaged her neck, her shoulders, painting her fingernails, and painting her toenails. She started to fall asleep from relaxing.
Naruto, Ino (with her group of guys), Percy, and Annabeth were watching Grover on the stage with other people dancing like Michael Jackson. Grover had on a black fedora, he didn't have on any pants exposing his goat legs, and he had a orange muscle shirt. A waitress gave everyone a Lotus flower.
Naruto was about to pop one in his mouth until...
"No, Naruto. Don't eat the flower! It dulles the senses. Keeps you prisoner here." A voice said to him. His mind finally cleared as he remembered now.
Naruto sat his Lotus flower on the counter, "Annie, I'm gonna go get some air. I'll be right back." he told Annabeth.
Annabeth nodded, "Okay!"
Naruto walked out and walked through the game room, a waitress offered him a Lotus flower. "Nah, I'm good." he continued walking.
"Look around you...focus, focus."
"Another Lotus flower?" Asked another waitress.
Naruto held up his hand, "No thanks." he continued walking.
"Would you like another one?" Asked another waitress.
"Not hungry." Naruto grunted in aggervation. He continued walking until he saw a guy that looked like he was in his mid-twenties looking at a I-phone. He walked over to the guy. "Hey, you got a I-phone?" he asked the guy with a smile.
The guy looked up at him questionably, "I-phone? What I-phone?" he asked Naruto in confusion. "What in blazes is that?"
Naruto gestured at the I-phone in the guy's hand, "That's a I-phone."
"We're in 1953 son! We don't know what I-phone is!" The guy snapped. "You gangsters and your slang talk." he mumbled.
Naruto's eyes widened, "1-1953?" he muttered to himself. He slowly walked away from the guy. This place does hold people prisoner! And it must give people Eternal Youth or something because that guy looked around twenty five. He must've been here for more than sixty something years! I have to get everyone out of here! And fast! he thought speeding up his pace.
"Naruto...you have to escape! Wake up! Wake up!"
Naruto massaged his right temple he slowed his pace when he saw a waitress in front of him.
"You could really use a Lotus flower." Said the waitress.
"Not in the mood for that crap." Naruto told the waitress walking past her.
"Please take one." Another waitress begged.
Naruto grunted, "I do not want that crappy Lotus mind control flower!" he snapped at the waitress. He walked by a game but walked back he saw the last pearl glowing in that game. He eyed it.
"Another Lotus flower?" Asked another waitress. "We really insist."
Naruto glared, "Now...when I say this...don't cry...but get the fuck away from me you son of a bitch." he told her slowly as she had on a hurt look.
The manager came up to Naruto, "Is there a problem Mr. Uzumaki?" he asked concerned.
Naruto was about to yes until he heard the manager say his last name, who was this guy? He didn't know him. "No...no...I'm perfectly fine in Hello Kitty land." he said then walked away.
The manager turned the other and pressed his earpiece, "Naruto Uzumaki's awake."
Naruto walked into a room that had a dance floor he spotted Annabeth dancing with Ino the two girls were partying with Lotus flowers and laughing. "Hey, hey. Don't eat that shit!" he cursed throwing down both Lotus flowers and grabbing their wrists leading them to where Grover is.
"What?" Annabeth asked Naruto. "We're having so much fun!"
Naruto shook his head, "No you're not! This Casino is just poisoning your minds!"
Ino leaned on Naruto's shoulder, "What...? I want to go back to my men servants!" she whined weakly slapping Naruto's chest.
Naruto stopped walking to look at Ino in confusion, "What the...? Ino, are you drunk?" he asked her.
Annabeth giggled, "Yeah she is! One of those nice man servants she was with brought some alchohol and stuff like that, he offered us some but I declined while Ino said...uh, hold on, let me think...oh yeah! She said 'what the hell? yes!' She drunk so much that she got drunk so I decided to have some fun with her by partying with her."
Naruto blinked then faced Ino, "Ino...you're a dumbass!"
Ino pointed at him, "So are you! But you don't see me complaining...do ya Dorra The Explorer? Damn...you really do have a football head." she said squinting her eyes.
Naruto grumble continued walking he saw Percy sitting in a chair. He told Annabeth to hold Ino which she did and pretended they were partying he rolled his eyes then slapped Percy across his face knocking him out of the seat nearly.
Percy looked up at him with confused eyes, "What the hell man?" he said standing up.
Naruto grabbed Percy's face looking dead in his eyes, "Wake the hell up! This is all a trap! The Casino, the games, the damn Lotus'! They poison your mind! Wake up, Perseus Jackson!"
Percy blinked and held his temple, "That explains...come on, wait, what's wrong with Ino?" he questioned Naruto looking at his drunk half-sister prance around Annabeth.
"Oh, that...well a guy gave her alchohol apparently and she got drunk for the first time ever!" Naruto deadpanned.
"And you let him do that?" Percy asked with hinge of anger. How he felt his sibling instincts kicking in...
"No, I let him do that...I WAS TRYING TO WAKE UP IDIOT!" Naruto said the first part with dry sarcasm then snapped at Percy.
Percy held up his hands in a surrendering gesture, "Okay, sorry for asking. I'm gonna get Ino." he said walking over to her and throwing her arm over his shoulder his arm around her waist so that he could carry her and drag her at the same time. They walked trying to find Grover.
Ino grinned, "Where's my Grovey-Bear?" she giggled.
Percy groaned, "We're going to wake up Grovey-Bear."
Ino turned to Percy, "Then I can go in bed with Grovey-Bear?" she asked.
Percy frowned with a dust of pink on cheeks, "What? No! Do you want to get pregnant at fourteen?" he asked.
Annabeth clapped her hands, "I can be a Auntie!" she cheered.
"Yeah, I wanna be pregers with Grovey-Bears children. We'll have tiny Grovey Juniors and Ino Juniors...you can be Uncle! So can Naruto! And Annabeth will be an Auntie! See...I'm smart like that..." Ino grinned stupidly poking her left temple.
Percy shook his head, "Not really." he mumbled under his breath.
Naruto made his way over to Grover with his group of girls rubbing on his body while he sat on the lounge couch grinning, "Grover! Grover! Wake up! We gotta go!"
Grover frowned and sat up, "What the...? Naru, your timin' is terrible! Dude, we headin' to the chapel! We're gettin' married!" he announced then looked around at the girls questionably.
Percy palmed his face with a sigh. Ino got angry at hearing that.
"Ohh! Romantic!" Annabeth cooed then she grabbed Naruto's arm. "Are we going to the chapel too?" she asked.
Naruto blushed, "Well...I mean, if you-hey! Wait a minute!" he faced Grover. "No! No! Not romantic! Not at all!"
"Wait, which one of ya'll I proposed to?" Grover asked the group of girls and everyone of them raised their hands.
Ino pushed Percy off of her then she went over to Grover and sat on his lap, "You proposed to me!" she lied with a angered expression.
Grover nodded, "Oh yeah..." he smiled then snuggled up with her. "Well don't get mad baby, I'm sorry. You still love me?" he asked her.
Ino giggled cheekily, "Of course I do."
"I want to be the maid of honor!" Annabeth told the two who were snuggled up.
Percy turned to a stunned Naruto, "Want me to splash them with water?" he asked the blonde who slowly nodded. He took a cup of water and splashed it in Grover and Ino's face some got on the girls.
"Wake up, damn it!" Naruto snapped.
Grover stood up with Ino hugging his arm with a pout he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder with a smirk, "Aye, yo man! You're such a buzzkill!"
"The word 'buzzkill' is so seventies, dude." Naruto frowned at Grover.
Annabeth frowned at Naruto, "Naruto, what's wrong? Why are you doing this?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"Both of you need to wake up now!" Percy told them in urgent tone. Grover was making flirtatious faces at Ino who was doing the same.
"Look at me! Look at me!" Naruto said turning Grover and Ino around to look at him. "You're in a trance! Okay! We're trapped! Listen to me...you ate the flowrs, you're never gonna want to leave! We're stuck here forever!" he told them using arm motions.
Grover's eyes widened along with Annabeth. Naruto saw Ino who was sleeping, he rolled his eyes and placed a hand on her head she instantly woke up not feeling hung over or drunk anymore. Naruto saw the manager talking to a guard pointing at them.
"Oh...no. We gotta go!" Naruto said throwing Percy his bookbag. Everyone ran and Grover held his crutches, some guards surrounded him. He kicked one in the chest knocking the guard down, he slammed his crutches into another guard's face knocking him down, then he struck one last guard in the chest using his crutches.
Naruto was running with Percy, Annabeth, and Ino. His eyes widened when he saw a guard coming his way, he punched the guard in the face knocking him down, Annabeth saw a guard she took an elderly lady's cane and struck it across the guard's shoulder knocking him down but half of the cane broke the other half she twirled in her hand, Percy kicked and punched down a guard that was coming his way, and Ino picked up a flower plant and threw it at a guard's head knocking him out completely. Naruto jumped up on a game table he kicked one guard in the chest he saw another coming from behind and he made his favorite hand sign. One clone popped up and the two lifted the guard up and threw him onto a table causing the guard to go through it. The clone Naruto popped because Naruto released it, he saw the green pearl under his foot he picked it up and looked at it then he jumped off the table.
"Car! Car!" Grover yelled running to the car that you have to win. The rest followed him to the where the jet black car was. "Come on! Come on!" Grover opened the door to the drivers seat, Ino got in the passengers seat, Percy Annabeth and Naruto got in the back. Grover was looking for the keys. "Keys! Keys!" he found them and cranked up the car.
"Go! Go!" Naruto yelled.
"Drive now! Now!" Percy, Annabeth, and Ino yelled.
Grover stepped on the gas pedal and he drove straight through the entrance doors of the Casino, he got into the street and drove zig zag almost causing a wreck but when he got further down he slowed down.
"Now that's how you get out of a Casino! That's how you drive!" Grover yelled feeling proud of himself.
"Of course, now that all makes since." Annabeth said in an understanding tone.
Ino turned to look at her with a questionable expression, "What?" she said in confusion.
"That was the lair of the Lotus eaters." Annabeth told them. "They've been luring people into their traps since ancient times!"
Grover pointed at a screen, "Guys look! Tomorrow's June 21st." he told them with a frown. Everyone looked at screen.
Percy shook his head, "No, no! It can't be! Today's June 15th." he said in denial.
"No, tomorrow's the 21st. We were in there for five days!" Ino sighed pinching the bridge of her nose.
Grover lightly shook his head, "Felt like hours..."
"Tomorrow's the Solstice. Our deadline is tomorrow at midnight!" Naruto told them.
Grover nodded, "Alright, look...we gotta move. Where's Hades?" he asked Naruto.
Naruto unfolded the map, "Uhhh...it says...'Hollywood'."
Grover exhaled through his nose, "Alright, I can get us there in four hours...maybe three." he smirked cockily. He made a sharp turn and began to drive fast. They made it to Hollywood just like Grover said, in three hours. They ran up to where the Hollywood sign was at.
Naruto saw something written in Greek on the 'H', "Whoa, whoa!" he said stopping the rest from running they were behind Naruto. The words swirled around and read... "'Woe to all the brave souls'." he read.
The group looked at one another then what their eye was a pile of dirt starting to become a large size hole. They were unsure but Naruto went inside of it then everyone else followed him inside. It was dark and there were only a few lit torches on the walls and skulls were almost everywhere. Everyone saw the hole fill back up.
"Okay, I guess there ain't no turnin' back now." Grover said with a almost frightened expression.
"Luke wasn't kidding about there isn't anyway out of the Underworld." Naruto said then shivered some at the skulls.
"Who would?" Annabeth asked him and he shrugged.
You're so awesome, Annabeth! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! You're so awesome! Naruto thought with a grin.
"Looks like we're stuck in here." Percy said looking up and down.
"Yeah." Grover said.
They moved forward for awhile until they saw a guy in a black cloak standing in a boat looking in the water full of souls.
Ino shivered, "Hey, Percy. Who's that creepy guy with the hoodie?" she asked her half-brother.
"I don't know." Percy shrugged but took out Riptide. "But let's find out."
The creepy guy turned to them with wide eyes, "Who're you?" he asked.
Cliffhanger! Agh! I know! Sorry! Just had to do it...yep so Naruto and his group are finally in the Underworld! Guess what guys? Just a couple of more chapters away from...drumroll please! *Dum!* *Dum!* *Dum!* *Dum!* We are a few chapters away from Book Two of this story! You know what Book 2's name is?
