I am so sorry for not updating in so long again i don't really have an excuse, of course the school year just finished a while ago but i haven't updated in a month and a half school ended a month ago. So to try to make up for it here's an extra long chapter. I figured out why i'm getting less reviews than normal (i think) it's because since i deleted 2 chapters the reviews doubled up so it's probably saying you've already reviewed the chapter even though you haven't. Anyways here are my reply to the 1 review that got sent last chapter.

Can i just thank you guys for:

100 Favs! it's 109 now and that's absolutely bonkers to me.

also we hit 18000 views yesterday, which just blew my mind!

Seaweed Princess of the Fandom: Reyna and Annabeth are tied as my first fav female PJO characters, Thalia a close second. Rick's made all authors in this fandom including myself take a liking to cliff hangers. Don't blame me blame Rick.

Anyways hope you enjoy the chapter!


Percy POV

I glanced up looking at the nearby hotels, casinos and bars.

I needed somewhere to leave Reyna and Jason before i went to get my sister.

My dad had given me the location of the place and it was on the next street.

If only my dad could've come up with a reasonable excuse to leave Reyna and Jason, a place to leave them would've been nice too.

I couldn't leave them at a bar or casino for obvious reasons, it wouldn't be the best of ideas to leave them in a hotel lobby either, the street was filled with shady figures so we needed to get somewhere quickly before one of them decided we were worth robbing.

I rounded the corner and i found the perfect place it seemed to be a doughnut shop my dyslexia was messing me up so the sign looked something like nosterm gnhduout, but there was a big doughnut in between the two words so it was pretty easy to guess.

"In here guys" I said

Jason looked tense "Something's off guys" he said glancing at the sign then back at the shop

"Ill only be gone 20 minutes then we can get out of here" I reached into my pouch and brought out a $50 dollar bill, "buy yourselves some coffee and dougnuts, get me something too, I'm hungry" Reyna nodded taking the money.

She looked me in the eyes "Be back quick, if you're not back in 30 minutes i'm coming after you"

I rolled my eyes "Have a little faith Reyna, ill be back before you know it"


LINE BREAK


I walked into the casino "Hey there young man, here's a card, your room number is 6078, enjoy your stay" I took the card sending a nod to the man, my dad had warned me about the effects of the hotel i was already feeling the need to stay here and forget the quest.

Now to find my sister, hopefully Alecto would be here soon.

I glanced around the room, slurred laughs came from the bar beside me as people drunk themselves stupid, i shook my head looking away in disgust.

On my right was a massive game room where Bianca would most likely be, dad said he had taken her brother just a while a go, i wonder if she's even realized he's gone yet.

I heard a voice speaking in my head Your sister, Bianca has just recently found Nico to be missing she's on the 4 th floor looking for him near their room "Thanks" i mentally said before rushing towards the elevators.

I pressed the button, wiating i glanced at the number, crap it was ont the 21st floor, no time for all i knew she could be getting attacked by a monster right now.

I ran up the stairs taking them in threes.

As I approached the 4th floor, i heard a female voice shouting "Nico!" that must be her, i ran up the last flight of stairs barging in, to an empty hallway.

"Nico!" she sounded urgent, was she being attacked?

I ran towards her voice, rounding the corner, at the same time as someone else crashing into them.

We both fell over as i heard a muffled "ouch".

The girl glanced up apologizing "Im so sorr-"

"Dont worry about it i should have been paying attention i was just really caught up looking for my si-" I glanced at her, onyx eyes, olive skin "Bianca!" she stiffened as i wrapped her in a hug.

"umm.. who are you, and how do you know my name?" she said pushing me away glancing at me a little scared.

"This is a little complicated, I'm your brother, well step-brother, well adopted step-brother" She raised an eyebrow clearly not believing me. "Listen your dad sent m-"

"I've never met my dad

"Gods this is gonna be hard to explain.. umm can we sit down somewhere"

She looked at me reluctantly before nodding and gesturing for me to follow her, we ended up in her room "Why should i trust anything you say?"

"First let me explain this is going to be a long story after you can decide whether or not you trust me." She nodded signaling for me to start.

"So you ever heard of Rom- Greek mythology and all right with Zeus and stuff" She nodded confused on what this had to do with anything

"Well all that stuff is real, anyways the gods would often come to earth from mount Olympus and have children with mortals, well those children are called demigods. Me you and your brother Nico?" Her eyes widened "Nico! Do you know where he is?" She asked

"I'm getting to that, anyways, umm about 80 years ago the gods made a pact Zeus, Poseidon and Hades couldn't have any kids because one of there kids is prophesied to either save or destroy Olympus. Hades however already had 2 living kids they were too young to do anything but Zeus being his paranoid self attempted to strike them down with a lightning bolt. Hades managed to save his kids but their mother was killed. those two kids are you and Nico" Her eyes widened comically. "You two were sent here where your aging is slowed (A/N I know that in the book it says their aging stops and they had been moved to the school where they aged, but this is fanfiction so i can do what i want...) while in the outside world it's been nearly 80 years you've only aged 7 here. (4-11 she's 11 and Nico is 10) Hades took Nico recently to a camp that's safe for demigods"

"Why didn't he take me?"

"This is the part that gets even more complicated, so do you know about Roman mythology? Well that's real too, each of the gods have a Roman side and a Greek side. Greeks and Romans have always been enemies, whenever they meet, there is war between the two sides. So the gods separated the two however, When Hades had you he was in his Roman form, Pluto when he had Nico he was in his Greek form. He had to separate the two of you otherwise both of you would be killed, Nico is headed to the Greek camp while somebody is coming here to take you to the Roman."

Tears sprung to her eyes "So im not going to meet Nico again?"

I came forward hugging her "No, ill make sure you see each other, trust me"

She nodded sniffling "What about you, you said you were my brother too?"

"Well 13 years ago Neptune broke the pact and had a kid, which was me, however Neptune abandoned me, i would have died had Pluto not found me and rescued me. Him and Persephone adopted me and Trained me knowing i was going to be the one of the prophecy, after i swore loyalty to Olympus Jupiter sent me to the Roman camp. I'm on a quest right now to find Jupiter's master bolt."

"okay, How am i supposed to get to this camp?"

"Well Pluto being the lord of the underworld has a few servants, the Furies three flying bat women are here to pick you up, and take you just don't be afraid when you see them, the look a bit scary"


Line Break


We walked downstairs where we saw three old women in leather jackets, ahh smart thinking, they knew that Bianca would be afraid.

"That's them" i said pointing them out to Bianca

"Them? Those just look like old ladies not crazy bat creatures"

"They can change forms they look like that not to scare you" The furies walked towards us

"Hello Lord Perseus"

I waved them off "No need for that Lord business, if you should be bowing to anyone it's Bianca here"

"Of course, Princess Bianca" She rasped, bowing to her

"Now i believe you have a ride for her to Lupa?"

Alecto gestured outside to a black Mercedes.

"Good" I turned to Bianca giving her one last hug

"Who's Lupa" She asked

"She's a roman wolf goddess, she's going to train you and test you before sending you to camp Jupiter, don't tell her you know of the greeks or your heritage" She sent me a questioning look "She's one of my favorite goddesses but she is loyal to Jupiter and would tell him" She nodded in understanding.

She learns quickly, Lupa will like her.

"Good luck on your quest thingy"

"Thanks, Alecto make sure you leave her where Lupa can't see you" She nodded immediately.

"Farewell stay safe on your quest Perseus, Pluto worries for you" Alecto said to me before motioning for Bianca to follow her to the car.

The black Mercedes pulled away, I knew I should leave as Reyna and Jason would probably be looking for me, but my senses were telling me to stay, there was something here.

I turned towards the game room when I saw it, a suspiciously large guard blocking a door. Likely a monster, but what could behind the door he was blocking.

I really needed to get back to Reyna and Jason but my curiosity got the better off me.

I shadow traveled behind the door, i moved away from the door before whatever monster that guard was could catch my scent.

I was on a loft of sorts, there were spiral stairs leading down to a cage room type thing, I saw all kinds of creatures in cages, Harpies, satyrs, venti, and even a centaur.

However what caught my eye was two particular cages, they were more heavily protected made of what looked to be celestial bronze.

One seemed to be completely empty, the other however held three demigods and a satyr, i looked closer.

The oldest seemed to be 15, sandy blonde hair a mysterious look in his eyes, a son of Hermes, the next had honey Blonde hair, startling gray eyes she seemed my age 13, a daughter of Athena.

The last one confused me he was looking down so i couldn't see his face he had oily black hair, olive colored skin, no god or goddess struck me.

Then it clicked a daughter of Athena, a son of Hermes and a satyr, NICO! Hades told me they went to rescue him.

How'd they end up here?

Seeing Nico there trapped in a cage just fueled my anger, i was about to shadow travel down there and free him when i heard voices, i shrouded myself in shadows waiting, i needed to know what i was going up against.

What i saw just made me angrier, a bunch of laestrygonian giants with a empousa leading them came in carrying two more demigods who i knew to be Reyna and Jason.

They were thrown into the cage, Jason looked to the ground, Reyna however was angry, shouting at the giants, they just grunted ignoring her.

The empousa walked up to the cage and started saying something to Reyna, i needed to know what was being said, hopefully the monsters noses were already too clogged up with the smell of the other demigods to notice me.

Taking a chance i shadow traveled behind a set of cages that were close enough for me to listen but hidden well enough that it wouldn't be easy to see me.

However i wasn't alone.

Another demigod one i hadn't noticed before was ducking behind the cage in front of me he also seemed to be "spying" on the monsters.

He seemed to be a little older than me not by much though.

He was armed with only a spear but something told me he could do a lot with just his spear.

I needed to warn him i was here without warning the monsters.

I decided to just go for it hoping he was smart enough to not shout out and give away our position.

I tapped his shoulder, he whirled around Spear at my chest immediately but kept quiet. i put my hands up gesturing i was peaceful, he watched me carefully before lowering his spear.

"I'm here to free those demigods which im guessing you are too?"I whispered

"Yeah.." He looked at me one more time before beckoning me forward so we could listen in to what the empousa was saying.

"Where is the other one, there was supposed to be one more!" She hissed

"who, Percy?" Reyna asked, Jason looked up interested

"yess the sea spawn" the empousa hissed

"He's not here, you won't find him!" Reyna shouted, one of the laestrygonian giants got up probably to kill her, i was about to step in but the empousa stopped him "Not yet we need them alive!" She hissed

The giant grunted unhappily sitting back down.

"Sea spawn, you dont mean.." The daughter of Athena gasped "There can't be the gods swore!"

Jason and Reyna turned seeming to just notice the other set of demigods in the cage next to theirs.

This couldn't end well.

I needed to intervene before too much was revealed.

Jason looked around after seeing the demigods probably looking for more, by some luck his eyes caught mine widening.

I put a finger to my lips.

He quickly looked away, trying not to alert the monsters of my position

"umm. can i have" he glanced at me "water"

I grinned Jason was smart.

"I guess" The empousa replied looking confused

"What's he doing" The guy next to me whispered

I sent him a grin "On my mark charge the cages ill keep the monsters distracted while you open them."

He nodded still confused.

Jason caught my eye again, i made a count down on my hand, 5, 4, 3, 2,1 Jason threw the water catching the empousa completely off guard, i took my chance charging forward i focused on the water transforming it into a hardened fist just as it slammed into her face, killing her instantly.

I ran towards the laestrygonian, now fully aware of my position they charged me. I brought my sword out, twisting my key necklace causing the shadows to form armor on me.

I rolled under a giants swipe as he reached me taking a quick swipe with my sword I knocked his head clean off his shoulders, an alarm started blaring loudly. Crap more monsters would be coming soon i needed to be quick.

Pressing the ruby on my sword flames surrounded it, i shadow traveled behind the giants stabbing one's leg the fire slowly crawled up his body burning him.

I jumped up trying to dodge a low swung fist, however this giant was faster than the rest bringing his arm up he slammed my legs causing me to face plant. Another giant was about to step on me but was stopped by a golden gladius, Jason cut right through his foot causing the giant to groan in pain.

Reyna joined the fight, Yes the demigod had freed them i took a quick glance towards him he was working on the other cage, i turned back to the giants.

I switched to my daggers, one in each swipe i charged back in quickly moving beside Reyna and Jason helping them.

However we were still hopelessly outnumbered.

We kept them busy hopefully we could manage long enough for the Greeks to join us.

I slashed both blades into a laestrygonian's side, before pulling them out and quickly finishing him.

Reyna and Jason were doing pretty well however the giants were still gaining ground.

I pushed with everything i had spinning to avoid a mad swing before pulling on the giants arm causing him to fall over because of his own momentum. Jason proceeded to end him with a gladius to the head.

That's when things started going good the son of Hermes and the daughter of Athena joined us, the Son of Hermes was amazing with his sword as the Athena girl was with her dagger.

However what really changed the tides was the other demigod i had seen earlier, as i had guessed he was amazing with his spear.

Using it in any way possible to help him fight at one point i think i saw him use it as a pole vault, crazy right?

The satyr played some notes on his pipes causing roots to grow out the ground, the demigod backed off from the fight put his hands out in front off him and to my surprise he was controlling the roots.

A son of Demeter, a very powerful one at that.

i couldn't get distracted any longer as i narrowly avoided a giants fist with a quick feint to his legs before a jab to his chest i disposed of him moving to find another target.

To my utter shock there wasn't one.

I looked around at the carnage we caused before hearing footsteps coming towards the door.

A lot of footsteps.

"Follow me" I said leading them under the loft i had been on earlier.

I grabbed Reyna and shadow traveled us up, "Jason fly em up, he nodded before grabbing the son of Hermes who stood in awe staring at me as if i had just dropped from mars.

The son of Demeter, the daughter of Athena, the Satyr and Nico made their way up the stairs.

"Ill explain later first let's get outta here" I responded to their questioning looks towards Jason and I

We ran towards the door but stopped in our tracks when the door flew open, and some of the biggest wolves i'd ever seen stalked out probably bigger than Lupa's, at the end a tall man came in, i immediately recognized him as Lupa's enemy the roman god Lycaon.

I turned around just as an army of all types of monsters charged into the room.

We were trapped!

Oooh another Cliffy!
