An: Yeah sorry about this week guys I got sick then had heavy sinuses bunch of other stuff it was horrible. Well here is another chapter and um I literally forgot the pairings wait… hm… oh yeah ok well yeah here we go.

_Perseus' POV_

I sat and watched them wait at the end for me and so, I flashed in dresses how I normally do (If you don't know pretty much the cover photo or how I described him during the Nico vs. Jayce fight). Nico had the armor slung over his shoulder while Thalia held the helmet, both were looking around while Zoe and the others tried to start the truck up.

When they saw my flash everyone gathered around me and I said, "Bring me the armor." Once they had I took it and sent it to Hephaestus along with a little message to do a few things.

"Now the advice, the monster you seek it does not look very dangerous. Rather if it is sacrificed it will do something, I cannot reveal more however you Zoe should remember this story. After all, your father had a great part in it." I said to them and flashed out leaving Zoe gob smacked as she remembered the story.

_Nico's POV_

After Perseus had left I turned to Zoe with an expectant look. "So what is this monster?" I asked after a full minute of silence. "I am an idiot, how did I forget this story? The Ophiotaurus, which was a beast that if sacrificed would give the power to destroy the Olympians." Zoe said.

"Oh… um does it happen to look like a cow?" Jayce said going white. "Yes, how did you know?" Zoe asked. (If you noticed I am not doing old English, sorry but I had enough of that shit reading Shakespeare)

"Well, I might have saved it, and now it keeps following me." He said wincing when Zoe glared at him. "You just failed to mention this vital piece of information?" She said in a cold voice.

"I never really had time to talk about it… sorry" Jayce said mumbling the last part. It seemed that the junkyard escapade knocked some humility into him. "Alright we can argue later let's get moving." I said.

We all piled in the truck and drove west (I think sorry if I messed up my brain is still slightly muddled) until we ran out of gas. We all got out and walked until we reached a river. "Can we cross it? Or should we walk up it?" I asked. "The naiads can take us up. However, they don't really want to take you, Nico. Child of death you know?" Jayce said.

I sighed and looked up the river while saying, "Fine, I'll just go ahead, the Hoover dam is at the end I'll meet you there." I shadow traveled to Hoover dam and looked around. Something was strange, after the encounter with the Nemean lion Jayce had smelled like death.

I wasn't really noticeable until we fought those Spartoi in Colorado. Eleven of them were killed by me, however the last one disappeared before I could kill it. Now I could sense it nearby, so I went to check it out.

I walked into the elevator that led to the underground caverns and hit the button to go down. When the door opened I was immediately grabbed at by two large hands. I kicked the first one away then grabbed hold of the second one. I squeezed it until it snapped and dragged the owner towards me.

A Cyclopes stood there looking at me hungrily, beyond him a large group of monsters. Cyclops, lystragonian giants, and dracaena all stood line up armed and ready for battle.

I punched him in the gut causing him to fly out of the elevator and into the little army. I grinned and cracked my knuckles I will get a nice warm up out of this.

_Jayce's POV_ (Bet you might've expected that)

When we arrived at the dam we searched for nico. Eventually we all piled into an elevator to head down to the caverns. The doors opened and golden dust sprinkled in. I coughed and ran out of the elevator unsheathing my blade.

Nico stood there fighting the largest Cyclops I have ever seen. It was larger than Polyphemus, was covered in spiked armor with a scythe emblem, and held a large mace. (Recently played Shadow of Mordor had to add a little boss, even though he isn't really one)

Nico dodged the Cyclops mace and sliced it left arm off. The Cyclops howled in pain and swung again catching Nico by surprise. He went flying into the wall and the Cyclops ran after him.

All of us broke out of our shock and ran to Nico, right in time to see the Cyclops head leave the body. Nico stood there holding his blade and wiping it on the Cyclops slowly disintegrating body.

"What happened here?" I asked. "I got bored and ran into these guys." Nico said. The whole chamber rumbled. "Let's get out of here." I said and we ran back to the elevators. We got out at the top and the room was full of more monsters.

Ten fully armored Cyclopes that looked exactly like the one that nico just killed were waiting for us. Nico ran forward and knocked two Cyclopes aside and made a path. "GO! Don't try to fight them they have a bit of power over time, just enough to speed themselves up a little." He yelled we ran across the room to the emergency exit.

We saw Nico stab a Cyclops in the eye. He was surrounded by the fast Cyclops, they all hit him and he disappeared underneath the maces. When he reappeared he was battered and bruised.

One of the Cyclopes had a spear and as Nico turned to look at us the Cyclops stabbed him through the chest. He looked at as and mouthed one word, run.

AN: And Cut! Well thank you for those who reviewed please do so again. I am sorry for not updating much it just I was sick this whole week and am recovering. For those who think this was slightly different than how I usually write you're are slightly correct I'm still slightly sick and it makes it harder to write correct. When I get better I will return to writing better. Lord of Death and Time OUT.
