A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to update, and I'm sorry it's not very long. Anyways, this chapter is dedicated to the guest Mynameiscool for being a new reviewer, and Singing Fire, not only for reviewing, but for starting the story.

Annabeth POV

Venti. This is not good, not with Jason and Percy still unconscious below, she thought.

The wind started picking up, and Annabeth ran into the heavy gusts to get to where Leo and Nico were feverishly working the controls. "How are we going to fight these things?!" she yelled over the wind.

"Uh… not sure!" Leo yelled back. "Hopefully those mist-weapons can do some damage though!"

Mist weapons? Then she caught sight of the weapon in Hazel's hand. The bow and arrow both seemed to shimmer in the fading light. Like the weapons Hazel had brought on board before that Cockatrice attack. But she didn't have time to ask about it.

"We need to get down! Somewhere small!" she yelled as Frank also picked up a bow and arrow, this one his standard imperial gold.

"Somewhere small?!" Nico questioned. A Venti let lose a lighting bolt, which Hazel somehow intercepted with one of her arrows as Frank shot the Venti with the imperial gold, causing it to crumble to dust.

"Somewhere the Venti can't get to! Like a sheltered cove or lake! Anywhere with water and trees!" she yelled back. "What are the scanners showing!?"

Nico, who was closest to the displays, looked at them, their light casting dark shadows on his gaunt face. "One place that might work, about two miles north!" North. That was going right into the midst of the group of Venti. Still, if there was no choice…

"There's gotta be something else close enough in any other direction!" Leo yelled, looking in shock at the darkening horizon.

Nico shook his head. "Maybe we could all get below and Festus could drive us there!" he suggested.

Hazel intercepted another lightning bolt with an arrow, the bright flash bathing the ship in white light for a moment.

Annabeth considered. "No! If we don't keep the Venti away, the ship would be destroyed by the time we got there!"

So Leo grabbed his Nintendo wii stick and made the sails roll up, making their way against the wind under rowing power.

Hazel POV

She'd never actually been much good with a bow and arrow, but since they were partially Mist, Hazel found she could direct them to where she wanted them to go. Somehow, she could keep the lightning from hitting them again, as Frank shot the Venti with his imperial gold arrows.

Annabeth was at the controls with Nico and Leo, and though she could tell they were yelling, she couldn't hear anything over the roar of the wind in her ears. Then the sails furled themselves, and the rows took them towards the heart of the storm of Venti. Frank turned towards her, and she caught a glimpse of his confused face, before he went back to Shooting at the Venti, though it was difficult to kill them now. They could only be killed by surprise, and they knew Frank had a bow now.

One of the Venti got very close to the Argo II, but before Frank could put an arrow in its 'head' so to speak, it was stabbed from behind. When it disintegrated, they saw Piper, her knife held in both hands. She'd just stabbed the thing from behind.

"Nice!" Hazel yelled.

Piper nodded, but she looked a little queasy. Hazel was surprised that she didn't feel queasy at all. Nothing's better for sea- or air- sickness than a good battle for your life. "Piper! Use my Spatha! It might be easier to get them!" she called.

Piper rushed off, and grabbed the weapon from where it had fallen to the deck when the first lightning bolt had hit.

After that, all her concentration was on the bolts, which got considerably thicker as they went deeper into the storm.
