AN: Hello! This is Ciara and Amelia, back for yet another update. We hope you enjoy! 'Cause Ciara wrote this chapter!

DISCLAIMED

Cordelia POV

"Nico," Annabeth said sternly. "Just get on the plane!"

"No!" Nico said, standing his ground. Annabeth, who looked like she was about to burst, made a threatening step towards Nico.

"Wait, why won't you go on?" I asked, putting a hand out before Annabeth could tackle the poor boy.

Nico gave me a questioning look, "Because I'm a son of Hades, and Zeus doesn't like that."

"But I'm a daughter of Poseidon and I'm still getting on the plane," I said slowly. I couldn't quite grasp why he didn't want to board the plane.

He scoffed and turned to Annabeth, "You didn't tell her didn't you?"

My brows furrowed. "Tell me what, exactly?"

Annabeth opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off by Nico. "Zeus will blast you off the plane for entering his turf," he said plainly.

"What?" I exclaimed. I don't want to die. That's it. I am not getting on that plane.

"Nico!" Annabeth exclaimed. "Why did you tell her?"

"Because I bet she doesn't want to die either!"

"And I don't!" I said.

"Guys!" Jason yelled, almost in desperation. "Can we please just board the plane? No one will get blasted off of it."

"Exactly!" Annabeth said, giving Jason a gesture I didn't understand. She walked over to me and grabbed me by the arm, while Jason walked over to Nico and slung the thirteen-year-old over his shoulder.

"Let me go!" Nico yelled, flailing around like a five-year-old. I gotta admit, he looked pretty small for a thirteen-year-old.

"I don't think so," Jason smirked. Leo laughed, and walked behind Jason, mocking the young son of Hades from behind. Even I had to laugh, considering the situation I was currently in: Annabeth's grasp.

Jason POV

After we finally got Delia and Nico to settle in their seats, Annabeth and I took our respective spots on the plane. I sat next to Piper, who was seated next to the window. Annabeth was behind us sitting next to Delia. Across the aisle was Nico who was seated uncomfortably in-between two chatty old ladies. And behind them were Leo and Drew sitting awkwardly at either sides of a big, beefy man eating a bucket of fried chickens.

I locked eyes with Leo and he gave me a pleading look that practically yelled "Help me!" I shot him an apologetic look and he gave me a pout only a Leo can give. I turned back around and began to read a magazine.

"Would you like anything?" a feminine voice asked. I turned to find a woman looking expectantly at me. She had auburn hair, brown eyes, and a kind smile.

"I'm good," I said in tone I hoped was polite. She smiled and looked at Piper.

"And you, Miss?"

"No thank you," Piper said in a tone she knew would make her mother proud. The stewardess turned and pushed the cart to the seats in front of us.

"Poor Nico," Piper said, she had her neck crooned so that she could see what was happening.

"Yeah," I said, looking at a miserable-looking Nico. "I know. "

Annabeth POV

I watched as Delia stared out the window of the plane, her eyes were wide and she clung to her seat, as if she were about to meet her end. I couldn't help but laugh. She looked at me and I shook my head. She opened her mouth, as if she were going to say something, but quickly closed it. I raised my eyebrows, signalling her to go on.

She sighed. "It's just," she paused, she seemed very anxious. "What was Percy like?"

"Percy was," I stopped, not really knowing where to start. I know, very unlike me. But after all of my adventures with Percy, I didn't know where to start. I also didn't want to just randomly blurt out things about Percy. How awkward would that be, Delia being his sister and all.

I sighed, finally deciding on how I was going to start this, "He was a seaweed brain."

A series of emotions clouded her eyes. There was confusion, amusement, and curiosity. She grinned at me, "And how exactly did he get that nickname—it is a nickname right?"

"It's kind of a long story," I said.

"It'll be a long flight," she smiled, making herself comfortable in her seat. "Start from the beginning."

"It all started on the day he arrived at Camp Half-Blood," I started.

Drew POV

After five hours of absolute torture, we finally landed in Vancouver. We got our luggages and headed towards a different gate.

"Ugh," I said, not bothering to look up. I was too preoccupied by this really cute guy who passed by. I'm beginning to really like Vancouver now. "Where is that stupid gate?"

"You're standing right in front of it," Annabeth said.

I rolled my eyes, but decided to say nothing. I usually don't want to seem like such a bitch to people, but they really ask for it. I sighed and trudged forward in line. Next to me, Leo was singing some Britney Spears song and was laughing his freaking ass off with that Delia girl.

"Can you shut up?" I snapped. I didn't want to snap at him but he seriously needed to shut the heck up.

Leo turned to look at me. For a moment he seemed very hesitant. Maybe my charmspeaking voice came on. But then he smiled, which automatically crushed my hopes. "Well excuse me," he drawled in a mocking tone, before turning back to Delia and laughing even louder than he did last time. I turned away from them, feeling a scowl form in my face.

I stood bored in line while we waited to enter the gate. I was about to start sitting on my luggage when we heard a scream. Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, and Nico were all on high alert. Delia looked confused, and I for one, was bored.

"What was that?" Piper asked in an urgent tone. Of course she would start the conversation.

"It was a scream," Leo said.

"No kidding, Sherlock," Nico said sarcastically. I couldn't help but crack a grin.

"We should go check it out," Annabeth said, pulling out a baseball hat, which in my opinion really needs washing.

"Piper and Jason, you two go around," Annabeth instructed. "Nico, Leo, and Drew, you three go left, and Delia and I will go right. Okay?"

We all nodded our heads—well, they nodded I just stood there—and then we went our separate ways.

Leo POV

Drew, Nico, and I ran around the corner to find a girl screaming her head off. I looked in front of her to find it. It was huge! I thought, fighting the urge to laugh at the innuendo. It was a Hydra.

"Holy pedicure," Drew gasped, clutching at her necklace. "It's enormous!"

I couldn't take it anymore, I laughed. "That's what she said!"

Drew scowled at me, "Get a life Valdez."

"You know," Nico started, not bothering to look away from the monster. "I'd usually be one to laugh at your jokes, but this isn't the time."

"Emo boy's right," Drew said, pulling off her necklace which immediately turned into a spear. So that's what it was, I thought.

I cocked my head to the side, watching as the Hydra stomped on the ground. Its multiple heads—four to be exact—looking around menacingly. Suddenly, Annabeth charged for the Hydra—at least I thought it was Annabeth, I mean a knife magically appeared and started stabbing the monster so I assumed she was invisible. Right behind her were Jason and Piper. Piper was jabbing her knife at it and Jason was lashing at it with his sword.

I looked beside me and noticed that Nico had disappeared. I looked back at the Hydra and Nico suddenly emerged from the shadow. I looked behind me and noticed Drew was gone too. I looked back at the Hydra and noticed everyone was there, even Delia. I opened my tool bag and brought out a hammer, charging for the Hydra.

"We have to cut off its heads and then burn the stumps!" Annabeth yelled.

"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Drew asked, taking cover as one of the Hydra's heads lurched for her.

I looked around my environment. I was in an airport, with mortals, luggages, luggage trolleys—I froze, suddenly gaining an idea. That's it! Luggage trolleys. I grabbed Nico's arm and pulled him away from the Hydra.

"Leo, what the—" I cut him off with an explanation. He seemed to understand since he made a run for the nearby trolley, beating an old lady to it.

"Jason!" I called.

"I'm a little busy at the moment, Leo!"

"Then stop being busy!"

He gave a grunt, stabbing the Hydra once more, before jumping away from it. "What?" he asked, running up to me.

"C'mon!" I said, pulling him over.

"Get on Jason!" Nico said, arriving with the trolley.

"What?"

"Just go!" I said, pushing him on the trolley.

He seemed confused, but obliged. He stood on the trolley, trying to maintain his balance. I looked at Nico, and he grinned at me. One, two, three, I counted off in my head. Go!

We pushed the trolley as fast as we could. Jason, who seemed to have gotten what I was going for, crouched down in an attempt to gain momentum and at the last minute, he jumped.

He launched into the air, using his powers to control the air around him. I watched as he grabbed his sword and decapitated all four of the Hydra's heads.

Sensing it was my turn; I ran up to the Hydra and shot a series of fire-balls at it, burning each stump. The monster turned to golden dust and I couldn't help but glow of pride. "Take that you multiple-headed beast!" I yelled. "I'm the only fire-user around here!"

"Yeah, Leo!" I heard Piper holler. I gave her a grin. Jason came up to me, patting my back. And Annabeth congratulated me on my ingenious plan, which I gotta say was pretty satisfying; consider she's a daughter of Athena. Delia and Nico both praised me, saying "Good job!" and "Go Leo!" Even Drew gave me a smile, and it wasn't vicious or anything.

Suddenly, I remembered something. I frantically searched through my pockets, finding nothing. Oh shit. "Where's my ticket?" I asked, wide-eyed.

"What?" Piper yelled.

"What's going on?" Annabeth asked.

I swallowed. "Um, I lost my ticket."

"No you didn't," she said plainly.

"Uh, yeah I did."

"No you didn't, because I haven't even given it you. It's in my bag, I was going to give them out once were in line, but then we heard the girl scream..." she trailed off.

"Oh," I suddenly felt really stupid.

"Oh, yeah," Delia said, remember something. "How did the girl see the monster?"

"Hmm," Annabeth said. "She must be a clear-sighted one."

Nico POV

After yet another argument with Annabeth, she finally convinced Delia and I to board yet another plane. This time, the plane was headed to Ottawa, Ontario. I sighed, walking begrudgingly towards the plane.

As we boarded the plane to Ottawa, I couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. I mean, what could we possibly find in Ottawa? Why would it be there? And better yet, who could we possibly find in Ottawa, Ontario?

"Nico," Piper's voice brought me out of my thoughts. She was looking at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked.

"Take your seat," she said.

"Oh," I said, "right."

I took my seat next to Piper and Jason. In front of us were Delia, Drew, and a dude I didn't know, and the seats across from us were occupied by Annabeth and Leo. I sighed. I felt my eye lids become heavier, and soon, I found myself asleep. Little did I know that what I would see next would become very important in the quest.

I think that's probably the longest chapter I've written for this story. And I can't help but feel proud! (Ciara speaking)

-What did you think?

-What do you think will happen next?

-Any grammar problems?

-Has anyone here ever been to Vancouver or Ottawa?
