Phew! Typing all these chapters is an invitation for Gatorade.

Leo's pov
Hey man! Annabeth Chase- turns over. Not good. Joining Luke instead of saving the Gods. Definitely not good. This whole dead enemy's thing was now really starting to give me the creeps. And in case you guys are wondering, getting your hands chained behind your back does not feel all that good.
We were shoved towards the largest ship in the dock, whose name after a lot of mental struggle with my dyslexia I figured out to be 'Oceanus'. When we got on deck, only thing I could say, sorry think was- 'whoa.' I mean, the thing was huge. The main deck cabins were at least 4 stories high. There was a huge u-shaped swimming pool in the right hand corner, along with what looked like a games room. On the left side was a small café kind of thing. Besides it was a staircase leading downwards, probably to the basement thing. On the top on the main deck was a white flag, mostly the symbol of Gaia. I looked somewhat like [ ) 0( ] this. What I want to say is, I would just absolutely love it here if we weren't here as captives. Unfortunately for me, we were. And as if on cue, one of Luke's guards poked me on the back with… something. Let's just move on.
The Dracnae pushed me into a sort of basement room along with the others. Compared to the amazing-sort of deck we had seen outside, there was only one way to describe the room- dark. As soon as we got in, I felt like something odd. On instinct, I tried to light up my hand with fire. It did not happen, confirming my suspicion.
"My fire won't work" I said.
"No lightning" –Jason.
"I can't charm speak the chains" –Piper.
"I don't think water would help" –Percy.
"More vines would only tangle us further" –Katie
"I need hands to play my pipes" –Grover
"Would the dead help?" –Nico.
"I have nothing to fight against" –Clarisse.
"Prophecies won't help either" –Rachel.
"No need for archery, I guess" –Will.
"Travis has already passed out, so basically we are doomed." –Thalia. That pretty much ended our discussion. But I was still surprised that why our powers won't work.

"Hello" called Luke as he came in smiling. Gods! I so hated his face.
He casually walked towards Thalia and said "Nice to see you, Thalia."
"What do you want Luke?" she practically hissed.
"Nothing much, just the location of the Gods"
"What? You don't know? I thought Gaia only kidnapped them."
"No, she did not. Now, the location"
"You really think I would tell you?"
"No, you wouldn't, but Annabeth would. She has already told me that they are in London. I wanted to confirm though, because she is not exactly someone…err…. trustworthy. So, is it true? They are really in London?"
"No…" Thalia begun but I cut her off. A plan was beginning to form in my mind.
"Ngo point in lying Thals, they already know now and we're basically doomed. So, might as well tell them" I turned to Luke "yes, they are in London. Now, peace out."
"Hey! I will kill you last for your help" he replied. I tried to look happy on that note (which by the way was pretty hard). As soon as he left, every remaining person in the room turned and glared daggers at me.
Piper was the first person to burst out "Leo Valdez are you totally mad?"
"No, in fact I am not. When we are already going to die, what is the point in hiding stuff?" Every sane person in the room stared at me in shock (yeah, I am that wonderful).
"Just kidding" I said "basically, if the enemy know the gods are in London, they are bound to go there in search. As far as I have figured out, this ship is their only mode of transport. And, if the ship gets there, so do we because we are also one of the passengers here. Once we get to the shores, we can concentrate on getting out. Understand my superbly awesomely fantastic plan now?"
Well, everyone was still staring at me, but now in wonder (I told you I am that wonderful).
"Dude," said Jason "it is actually cool to know my best friend actually has brains." I wanted to kill him right then, but there was one problem, my hands were tied. Speaking of problems "Hey, now that we don't have Annabeth on our side, who is going to make an escape plan?" I blurted out. Seeing Percy's face, I really wished I hadn't because he looked ready to kill me. Stupid ADHD.
Sorry guys I know that this isn't a proper ending but, I am too tired to write anymore. Check out my latest poll.
