A/N as I said in the update for my other story, I changed my name after I got some rather nasty PM's about my name being too similar to some others. You out there (you know who you are) I just came up with that name. I didn't steal it and I resent the implication. Anyway, now that's out of the way, on with the story!

Last time...

When the golden glitter cleared, she and Frank were looking into the eyes of a tall cloaked figure. He slowly pulled back the cowl of the hood, and the couple were looking into a face rimmed by raven black hair with sea-green eyes and a crooked smirk.

"Ah you must be the new guide group! Did you bring your scrapbooks?"

All he got in return was a pair of blank looks.

"Oh come on! You guys are tourists right? Ah, never mind" He reached out a hand and pulled the two to their feet. "My name is Percy Jackson, and could you tell me what two-half bloods are doing here?"

Now...

Hazel POV

I was dumbfounded. Not only was there another demigod down here, but we were both still alive, but to top it off our savior is Percy Jackson. "I thought... Zoe said you were in the stars..."

He switches his gaze to me. "Zoe talks about me?"

"Yes. She said you were the first man she called friend. Which, considering who she is, is quite the accomplishment."

He nodded in response, obviously deep in thought.

"Would you mind telling us what you did before Zoe met you and how you are here?"

"No problem." Was the response. "I was a demigod at camp half-blood. Before I met Zoe, I went on two quests, one to recover Zeus' master bolt and the other to recover the Golden Fleece. As to why I'm here, I was defeated and cast into Tartarus."

Hazel frowned in confusion. "What do you mean you were defeated? I thought you were the strongest hero at CHB?"

"I answered Orion's challenge in the arena, to try to get revenge for the experiences Lady Artemis and her hunters suffered at his hands. However, I didn't know he was a giant, and I could not defeat him alone. He eventually defeated me and cast me into the pit. How did you get here?"

I gave him the 10-second version. "Athena Parthanos. Rome. Arachne pulled me in, and Frank came with me."

Frank was spluttering. "Wait a minute... Your a son of Neptune right? So that makes you what, my something times a thousand uncle?"

"Son of Posiedon, not Neptune. And for obvious reasons, I try not to think of relations from the godly side. If I did, I'd be medusa's sister, and the brother to an extremely foul mouthed horse," he added smiling at Hazel while shuddering.

"Wait.. You know Arion? How is he?" Hazel asked, perking up.

"I know of him. I could watch what was happening on earth, so I watched over your quests. By the way, Frank, your transforming is awesome. Anyway, you two must have been out for a while. I had enough time to run into Bob and tag along."

"Bob?"

"Yeah, he is a Titan who lost his memory in the river Lethe and now works for Hades. Nico IMed him and called in some favors with his dad, who sent Bob to try and find you. I ran into him and little Bob and tagged along. Bob!" He shouted off to one side. Out of the darkness an older man with glowing silver hair and dressed in a janitors outfit carrying a broom over one shoulder.

"Yes?"

"Here are the ones you were looking for. Frank, Hazel, this is Bob and Little Bob. Bob and Little Bob, Frank and Hazel."

"Ummm... Why do you carry a broom and who is Little Bob?" Frank asked, peering around.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Just curiosity I guess."

Percy groaned. "Bob, don't give him a hard time. And Frank, I am extremely disappointed in you."

"What! Why? What did I do wrong?"

"You had a chance to make an awesome pun!"

Frank looked at him blankly.

"You should totally have said frankly! Don't you get it?" Judging by the exspression on Franks face, he didn't.

"Never mind..." Percy grumbled. "Anyway, he carryies a broom because he is a janitor. As for Little Bob, he is the sabor-toothed kitten that Bob here has named Small Bob." As if on cue a cute little kitten wandered out from behind Bob, yawning and stretching its back before flashing like an X-Ray and turning into a skeleton cat. Frank and Hazel both stumbled back in surprise. "Oh yeah, forgot to mention he could do that. Can also change his size to a certain extent."

"I have a question," Hazel asked. Why did you ask about tourists when you met us?

"That? Oh, that was an inside joke I have going with Nyx and a couple other creatures of the pit. Piece of advice, If you are in tight spot, stall by pretending you are tourist seeing the beautiful sights of Tartarus. Works every time." He clapped his hands together loudly, causing the couple to jump. "Alright then. We'd better get moving. The death of a monster as powerful as Arachne, in Tartarus no less, will attract some unwanted attention. That, and we need to get to two of you to the Phlegathon. The very air down here is poisonous. I expect the pair of you to collapse in three... Two... One..." As he hit zero both demigods hunched over in pain.

"On top of that, Hazel at least has some broken ribs and some nasty gashes. We need to get the two of you there ASAP. Bob, can you take Frank?"

The Titan nodded and strode forward, slinging Frank over his shoulder. Percy did the same with Hazel. "Let's go."
