Chiron shook Shade awake. "Leash Luke and wake the others. Meet at the center of camp." he said, and went to clean himself up.
Shade sighed. Wrapping a strand of dark light around Luke's wrist, he sunk it deep into the other halfblood's skin, and repeated the process to himself before he shook the blonde boy awake. "We have to go wake the others. You have ten feet. If you try to drag me, that dark tattoo will start to burn. Alright?" Shade gestured at the dark band that his light had made in Luke's wrist.
Luke eyed the dark-light (oxymoron alert) dubiously. "Right...and if they try to kill me on sight?" There was no way he was going to try to fend off the entire camp...granted at least some of them wouldn't try to kill him, but probably wouldn't help him either.
Apollo cabin woke up to Claire falling out of her bunk bed. She wasn't yet used to sleeping on the top bunk, but nobody suffered any damage (except maybe Kerry Corneille, but that was because she wanted to sleep in and her siblings wouldn't let her).
Shade smirked. "Then I put the leash around a column and watch and laugh." With that, he dragged Luke to Hestia. Shade dumped Rino off the bottom bunk. As the olive skinned boy rubbed his eyes, Shade said, "Wake Ayden and go to the center of camp." Rino nodded blearily, and Shade dragged Luke around to Poseidon and shook Percy and Tyson awake. "Time to go say hi to the gods, and Percy, you find Grover." And they continued to Zeus. Shade didn't enter, but said from the doorway, "THALIA! MORNING!"
Apollo cabin woke up to Claire falling out of her bunk bed. She wasn't yet used to sleeping on the top bunk, but nobody suffered any damage (except maybe Kerry Corneille, but that was because she wanted to sleep in and her siblings wouldn't let her). From Hestia, there was a similar flash as Ayden vented her frustrations on her brother.
"You do know..." Luke began. He was promptly interrupted by a swift bolt of lightning. "That."
Thalia pulled the blanket back over her head. "I really, really hate you," she informed them both.
"Join the club," Luke agreed, eyeing the doorframe that had gotten fried. He was very glad it was in the way and he wasn't. The other boy had to be a sadistic demon hell-bent on giving everyone else their own little slice of hell.
Shade smirked. "Simply cause you hate me doesn't stop it from being morning. Go find Alex and Sky. I think they're in the stables. Like usual." Shade towed Luke onward to Athena's cabin. "Annabeth," he said softly. "Morning. Chiron wants us."
"Mhm?" Annabeth yawned. "Yeah, be there in a minute. What was that noise?"
"Thalia, what else?" Luke said. "I feel like a dog," he added.
"Great. Do you really think I care?" Shade may not have blown things up when Chiron tried to wake him, but that didn't mean he was exceptionally happy about being in his present state. He pulled Luke to the center of camp, where Chiron was sliding his horse half down into his magical wheelchair.
"Are they coming?" the centaur asked.
"Yup." said Shade. Rino and Ayden came down minutes later from Hestia, followed by Tyson.
"Argos!" called Chiron. "We're just about ready. Could you grab the van and the ramp?"
Percy was last, having to figure out where the satyrs actually slept and then he had to get there. A mild oversight. Everyone else was there by the time he and goat-boy were - Thalia, Annabeth, Claire, Luna, and, of course, Luke still leashed to Shade (like a dog).
Argos pulled up with the van, and climbed out. He opened up the ramp for Sky and Chiron who ducked into the back of the van. "Everyone in," he said, jingling his keys. Once they had followed his command, he pulled out of Camp Halfblood, and jumped on the interstate to New York, New York. "Empire State Building - Everyone out!"
Miraculously, nothing too destructive had happened while the half-bloods had been crammed together in the back of a van. Admittedly Claire had repeatedly tried to think up a new dog name for Luke (she insisted "monkeyboy" wasn't good enough for a dog) and Luke had tried to threaten her and Luna had argued and all that. Percy and Grover had inched as far over to the other end of the van as they could, and Annabeth and Thalia were conferring on what-to-do-if-Percy-angers-another-god-again, but no major destruction.
Percy and Grover were the first out, followed quickly by Luna, dragging Claire out before Luke decided to actually stab her. Annabeth and Thalia climbed out too. Claire stopped mid-sentence to gape at New York like the tourist she was. Luna did a better job of not being too impressed.
Rino and Ayden jumped out, and stopped. "Wow. I didn't know buildings could get so tall." Rino said, standing and gaping in front of the van door.
Shade poked him. "Move out of the way for the rest of us," he said, his other arm nearly dragged out of its socket by Luke. "Luke! Ouch! Get back here!" he called, sending a spark down the chain in warning.
Chiron sighed. "This way." he said pointedly, wheeling across the street to the Empire State, holding onto a string tied around Sky's neck - apparently, with the Mist, it would look like a horse on a lead. Why a horse would be in New York was a different question, but a much more manageable one than what was that thing with a horse's body, satyr legs and a human torso wearing a brown sweater despite summer heat. The centaur went into the building, Shade dragging Luke and everyone else bringing up the rear.
Chiron opened his mouth to talk to the guard when he shook his head. "Here's the card. I'd like it back when you're done." Chiron grinned, and everyone paraded into the elevator. Chiron slid the card into the slot. The elevator shot up, and a minute later opened at level Olympus.
