I didn't know where I was. How long had I been here? How long until the quest ends? I had to get out so that I could finish the quest. Whatever happens, the quest can't fail.

I was in a cell. Three sides were bared, and one side was a cement wall. I tried to use Order's power to break out, but it wouldn't work. They were suppressing my powers somehow. As I was trying to find a weak point in the cell, I heard footsteps coming up from behind me.

"Have a nice nap, Percy?" I knew that voice anywhere. I also knew that he would die as soon as I got out of here.

I turned around and saw him. He looked the same as the last time I saw him. "How are you doing Ethan? I had a feeling that you were still alive."

"I'm not alive," he said.

"Then how are you here?"

"I was in the underworld, but I broke a few rules, so they sent me here. I've been here ever since. I like it here. Not many other demigods to tell me what to do."

That is when it hit me. The feeling of this place was all too familiar. This is the last place I ever wanted to be.

"Let me out of here right now Ethan. I can't be in this place again."

"But you survived this place the first time. Remember? You always had the feeling that somebody was watching you. That wasn't always Tartarus. That was me most of the time."

I was starting to panic. This is the only place that I felt closest to death, and I had a titan and Annabeth by my side for most of it. That is when it dawned on me. Bob might still be down here. He might have fell to Tartarus, but he would have been reborn.

"Don't even try to summon him. If he comes here, my armies will attack him."

"Your armies?"

"Being one of the gods worst enemies has its perks down here. All the monsters, titans, and giants are my allies, will except for a few."

That is when I realized that he ment Bob, Damasen, and a monster that were my allies. I didn't know what the monster was though. He must have saw the look on my face because he was looking at me with a look of satisfaction.

"Do you know who the monster that Brock killed is? You should. You are related after all."

"Tyson?"

"So you have figured it out. We have all three of them imprisoned. Chaos used her power to help us trap them. That is how we trapped you, but it seems that she is also weakening your powers too."

I jumped at him, but I couldn't reach him through the bars of the cage. He had a satisfactory look in his face.

"I will leave you to think about your old life. The world will end soon, so I suggest that you start remembering all your good times."

He turned and walked away leaving me alone. I looked for Riptide, but I didn't have it. All I had was a few pieces of lint and a note. I looked at it, and it was Annabeth's handwriting.

The note said, We don't know where you are at Percy, but we need you now. There is only a month left until the quest is suppose to be over, and we don't know what to do. We found Nico and Hazel a few days after you went back for them, but you weren't there. Please come back to us. I need you.

It took me a couple minutes to realize how the note got to me. I had been working on a way to send things through an Iris Message, but I never told anyone about it. I had it hidden in my tent that I shared with Annabeth. That is when I figured it out. She knew how I thought. I made it so that she could find it. I didn't mean to hide it like that, but my subconscious must have made me.

I had to find a way out, but I didn't know how. There wasn't a door on the cage, but they had to have got me in here somehow. That is when it dawned on me. They built the cage around me. That would meant that the only weak point would be where the cage met the wall.

I went to both corners and realized that they didn't attach the cage to the wall very well. I grabbed onto the cage and lifted my legs up to the wall. I started to push the cage away from the wall. It was hard to do without any powers, but I managed to do it.

After I got out of the cage, I tried to find a way out. The room was small and dark. I didn't know what part of Tartarus I was in, but it didn't feel like it did when I was in it last. It felt more intelligent.

I went to the door that Ethan went out of, but there wasn't a door. It was just a wall. I turned around and the cage was gone. I didn't know what was happening. The room also didn't look the same as it did a minute ago. It was tinted purple. I turned back around and the wall was gone. I knew then that I wasn't in Tartarus, but in the next worse place. I was in the Labyrinth.

That is when I knew that I was going crazy. The Labyrinth was destroyed when Daedalus died. The only way I could be seeing this was if it was an illusion. There were only two things that had enough power to create something like this. Order and Chaos. The two most powerful deities.

I couldn't summon the power of Order, so that means that Brock was using the power of Chaos to make this. I knew that he was watching me. I knew that he was toying with me. He was trying to break me. He was trying to get me to give up on the quest.

"It isn't going to work Brock. I know that you are doing this. Come out and face me."

The illusion started to disappear. He wouldn't be amused if I knew it was an illusion. He was standing twenty feet in front of me. He had a disappointed look on his face. He was holding a sword. I felt my pocket for mine, but it wasn't there. I felt again and the note from Annabeth was there.

"You won't find your sword Percy. I sent it to Annabeth when you figured out that it was an illusion. Just like you, I also figured out how to send things through an Iris-Message."

"You know that I will beat you. The prophecy says it." That is what got him to look puzzled.

"What prophecy? I didn't know about any prophecy."

"Why do you think we have been training? I was given a prophecy, and I intend to complete it."

"Good luck with that. You don't even know where you are. You won't be able to figure out how to get back to your world by the time you need to."

That is when it hit me. I mean literally hit me. My sword came flying towards me about half way between me and Brock. "You see, Brock? I always have tricks."

He lunged at me with incredible speed. I still didn't have any powers, but he did. I had only my skills to rely on. I had to outsmart him. I had to let him think he was winning, which wasn't that hard. Holding my own against him with the power of Order was hard enough, but without any powers was almost impossible. All I could do was dodge his attacks.

This went on for about ten minutes. That is when I heard something running towards us. It busted through the wall. It was a giant, but not a giant. He was bigger than giants, but he didn't look like them. The only think that was off about his was that his nametag said Tiny. It made me worry about what his friends were like.

"What is this? I thought that they were with us," Brock yelled. Just then a sword came flying into the room. I knew what had happened. Jack sliced down a lot of the enemies in the room. I tried to attack Brock, but he teleported away.

I joined Jack in cutting down enemies. I never thought that I would be killing enemies with something that was suppose to be inanimate, again. The last time I did it was when me and Terminus killed a giant together. That was easy compared to this. With me, Jack, Tiny, and eventually Magnus and his friends killing enemies, it only took us about ten minutes.

"Thank you for helping us Tiny," Magnus yelled up to him.

"Anybody that Loki likes, I like," Tiny whispered down to us.

Tiny walked out the giant hole in the wall and Magnus turned to me.

"I thought that you defeated Loki a long time ago," I said to him.

"I did. He was talking about Utgard Loki. Different deity." I shook my head like I understood, but I didn't. "How did you get here? Annabeth told me that you were here, but I couldn't believe it."

"I was captured and brought here. My powers don't work here, and I don't know why."

"Since you came here from Alaska, your gods don't know that you are here. Brock was able to suspend your powers with the power of Chaos, but it also made him lose his power."

"But then how did he have the power to make the illusion? He wouldn't have been able to."

"Loki gave him some of his power. The actual Loki, not Utgard."

"I didn't think that anybody would be able to. Having multiple gods powers is one thing, but having different gods powers from two different sets should be impossible."

"It should be, but he was a special exception. He had the power of a primordial. That helped his body sustain it. That also means that after you get your powers back, you will be able to do the same thing."

That amazed me. If I got the power of gods from each set, then we might actually win this war. "What do I have to do to be able to do that?"

"First you have to get your powers back. Then you would have to try and contact the god that you want power from. They might, or might not come to you. Don't know after that."

"Thank you for everything, but I need to get back."

"I know. You only have a week left to get your prophecy done."

"What do you mean a week? The Note I got from Annabeth said a month."

"I know. She sent it three weeks ago. It took a while for it to get to you. We have all been searching. I only found out that you were here a few hours ago. I contacted Utgard because he owed me a favor, and he said that you were here."

"Then I need to get back. Where are they all at?"

They are at Camp Jupiter, but you can't go strait there."

"Why can't I?"

"You need to get your powers back first. You need to go back to Alaska. Otherwise you will never get your powers back."

"Ok. How do I get there?"

"Simple." He looked at his elf friend and moved his hands. It was almost like he was communicating. That is when I realized that he was deaf. His friend pulled out some stones and through them on the ground. A portal opened up. "Step in." Magnus told me.

"Are you crazy? I ain't going to step in that."

"It is the only way you can go straight to Alaska."

I looked at him and could tell that he was telling the truth. "Fine."

"Good luck Percy. You are going to need it."

With that, I stepped into the portal and found myself standing in snow. I was in the same exact spot that I was in when I got knocked out. I looked around and could tell that I had my powers back. I could feel it running trough my body.

"I'm on my way Annabeth. I'll be there soon." I took off on a run towards Camp Jupiter. I called upon the power of Hermes again and broke the sound barrier. I saw Camp Jupiter in the distance after about four hours of running. I know that they would be glad I was back, but I would also have a lot of explaining to do.

"I'm almost there Annabeth. I will be with you again soon."
