Hi everybody. I've gotten a few complaints about the FF not being updated enough, I know there was a not so brief period when I couldn't update due to a virus but since I got my new pc I've been updating 1 to 2 chapters a day. I can't spit them out any faster than that. Well I guess I do deserve getting chewed out, I keep leaving with cliffhangers but still…

Without further ado

9

That smell…That smell alone brought back so many nightmares…I didn't have to open my eyes to know where I was. I was back at the school.

Percy was in a cage next to me, I could see him. He was asleep and it looked like he had a big bruise on his cheek. It was my fault; if I brought Fang with me we could've destroyed the monster. "I'm sorry Percy." I said aloud.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was just after Percy and Max were snatched. Of course Fang and the rest of the flock didn't know that. They weren't even sure where Max was. They were walking around New York, not used to having free time on their hands.

"Let's go back to that zoo we visited the first time." Gazzy said.

Fang found some patience, but with difficulty. "Nah, we should just find a place to relax." That was when it happened.

They heard a weird metallic grinding sound behind them. Fang whirled around, adrenaline already coursing through his body. Little robots, he thought. They looked familiar. "Gozen's little transformer bots." Iggy said. He would have recognized the way they worked, Fang thought.

"Then they shouldn't be much of a threat." Nudge said. "They weren't that strong."

"We don't know that for sure." Fang said. "We never actually fought them before. Gozen was there the whole time."

"How hard could a bunch of scrap metal be?" Gazzy asked.

"I don't know." Fang replied. "Should we stay and fight or…"

Just then one of the robots leapt at them. Fang reacted at almost the same time. He snapped out a kick and it knocked the robot, which was flying toward him with great speed. Its head flew off into the crowd. Simultaneously all of the small robots jumped at the flock.

Each kid was stuck in a battle. They weren't strong, there were just so many of them.



"What do they want?" Iggy grunted as he slammed two against each other with such good precision it was hard to believe he was blind.

"Not sure, keep clobbering." Fang replied, twisting one of the robots heads off. "Try to get their heads off."

"They're so annoying." Angel said. She had been so quite Fang had forgotten she was still there. That wasn't like her. He decided to learn what was wrong. Three more robots charged at him. In his spare freaking time.

"There's no freaking end to these." Iggy said. Now that Fang thought about it they didn't even seem to be like Gozen's mini robots.

"Of course there isn't." A voice said. Fang looked up. Grover, the goat boy, and Annabeth, Percy's friend, were there. "They came from hesphaestus's forges."

a/n Well heres chapter ten, I decided to upload them together so I guess it is really part of chapter nine.

"What are you doing here?" Fang asked. They were in a small café, the flock and Percy Jackson's friends. "What happened to that 'Quest?'?"

"Percy and Max got kidnapped." Grover looked worried as he said this.

"Usually when she gets kidnapped she ends up at the school." Iggy said. "All of us do."

"At least we know where to find her."

"Not exactly." Annabeth cut in. "We aren't sure where the School is."

"There is way more than just one school." Angel said. "How do we find her?" She sounded worried. No little kid should have to worry like Angel did. Like all of the flock did. Whenever Fang thought of that he felt sick.

"Grover, do that acorn thing." Annabeth said.

"We need to be somewhere near a lot of nature for that to work." Grover said, looking depressed. "And New York isn't the best place to work nature magic."

"There's Central Park." Iggy said. He was good with geography and knew that central park was extremely close to them.

"That might work." Grover said. "But there aren't gonna be any guarantees."

………………………………………………………………..

Grover muttered a few weird words and threw a bunch of acorns on the ground. They landed in different areas. "hm." He said thoughtfully. "It looks like this is us." He pointed to a small clump with 

three little acorns and four bigger ones. "And Percy and Max are…there." He pointed to two more acorns not that far from where they were. "It looks like that schools in the DC area."

"Thanks," Fang said. "Come on guys, let's go get them."

"Wait, what about us?" Asked Grover. "We want to go find them too."

Before Fang could answer a weird presence surrounded them. It made him mad. He was angry. He wanted to punch someone.

"Hello Punks." A gravely voice said behind him.

"Ares." Annabeth said grimly.
