Me (Soul): Let's just get on with it.

Enjoy!

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Sonic's point of view:

I stared at the daggers in front of me. Percy had given one to me, after he got Leo to forge it from the tip of a scorpion's tail. Then, Leo also got a hold of the remains of Excalibur, and re-forged it into a dagger.

Now, duel weild daggers, are one thing I LOVE!

"Come on, Percy, get up! We have to go!" I said, trying to wake up the Son of Poseidon. It was no use at all.

"Go away... I'm still dreaming..." Percy muttered, drooling.

"Yeah, dreaming about Annabeth kissing you again." I joked, only to have a pillow thrown at me.

"Zoë's gonna be pissed if your late at getting her back from hell." I added, and Percy's eyes snapped open.

"Piss off, Sonic..." Percy grumbled, and closed his eyes once again.

"Fine then, let EXE continue with whatever he's doing to Zoë." I shrugged, and sheathed my daggers.

Percy then swung the covers over, and reached out for Riptide.

"Touchy subject?" I mocked Percy, and looked around for a window or anything to climb out of without being skewered.

"I'm gonna kill you..." Percy growled, and he began to glow a harsh red.

"Now now... No need for violence." I smiled, rubbing the back of my head sheepishly, trying to find an escape route.

"Look! Annabeth!" I pointed behind Percy, and he turned around for a split second - enough time for me. I barged through the door and ran a bit away to let the son of Poseidon calm down a bit.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Percy's point of view: (A/N: Yeah, this is happening a lot. It's centered around Percy though!)

I drummed my fingers on the car seat.

Seven of us were on our way to New York, with Argus driving us.

"So, what's the first thing we're going to do?" Knuckles asked, cracking his name sakes as he sat at the back, next to Sonic.

"You guys can get some snacks for when we're in the Demon Path. I, on the other hand, have some issues of my own to take care of." I suggested, turning to the navy blue haired and crimson red haired boys.

"Why am I here again?" Thalia asked, who was sitting next to me.

"We need you to take Zoë's place in this group for the time being. Then, we can have peace." Artemis said, turning in her seat. She sat at the front, next to Argus. Nico sat on the other side of me; and Brian sat on the opposite side of Sonic, remaining silent.

"Come on, guys. It's not like we're going to all die." Sonic gave a nervous laugh, and Thalia shocked him.

"If that's jinxed, I swear I'll-" Thalia's threat was cut off by the van screeching to a halt.

"What the Hades?" Artemis cursed, and we were all (literally) trown out of the van other than Argus, who just sped off, leaving us on the road side.

We were in New York, near my mother's appartment.

"I'll catch you guys later. I need to check up on something." I said to the others, and they all nodded (other than Artemis and Brian) in agreement - and then went into a McDonald's.

I walked off in the other direction, towards my mother's appartment.

The streets of New York were packed. I had to push past a few gangs and groups of businessmen.

After an agonising ten minute walk, I reached my mother's appartment.

I knocked on the door, and my mother's voice echoed from the other side.

"Paul! Answer the door!"

Paul Blofis (A.K.A Mr. Blowfish) opened the door, and the second he saw me, I was crushed in a tight hug.

"Sally! Guess who's here?!" Paul yelled over to her. It's been three or so months since I'd last seen them.

Mom then came to the door, and crushed me in a bear hug.

"Percy! Come in!" She pulled me inside, closing the door behind me.

"Why are you here?" Mom asked me, her green eyes glistening with tears.

I just looked at here, a grave look in my eyes.

"There's another war, isn't there?" She asked. She never fully got over what Annabeth had done to me.

"Yeah, and I'm the centre of this one as well. Zoë... She died..." My voice cracked slightly.

"How?" Paul asked me, an eyebrow arched.

"I killed her. Arai attacked, and Annabeth's curse to me was to kill the one I care about the most." I answered, a tear trickling down my cheek. "And I'm going to get her back. And to do that, I need to travel to a place known as the 'Demon Path'. There's seven of us, but that's beside the point."

I then put my hand in my pocket and rummaged around for the ring. I fished it out once I found it, and placed it in my mother's hands.

"Do me a favor, and keep it safe for me. It's for Zoë when I bring her back." I closed her hand over the ring, and my mom swung her arms around my neck.

"Stay safe, Perseus Jackson. I'm so proud of you." Mom kissed my cheek, and released me.

"Now, go and save your girlfriend, Percy." She smiled slightly at me.

"I will... Love you." I said, and I spun on my heel, leaving my mother's appartment without looking back.

I was determined on finding Zoë, and nothing was going to stop me from finding her.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Sonic's point of view:

The six of us sat on the far side of the fast food restaurant - McDonald's.

I chomped on a few more fries, and took a gulp of my Fanta.

Out of the corner of my eye, I then saw Chaos walk into the restaurant, and straight to the toilets.

"I'll be back in a second, guys." I said to them and left my seat and quickly walked over to the rest rooms.

I opened up the door, and I saw Chaos standing there, a grim look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, closing the door behind me.

"The Demons are breaking free of their prisons. I found the location of the Demon Path, but it'll take some doing to get there." Chaos said grimly.

"And why is that?" I asked, arching an eyebrow at my patron.

"Because, the Demon Path begins at the summit of Mount Everest. And just to get there is a massive risk. I can only help you by transporting you seven to the foot of Mount Everest. From there on out, you're on your own." Chaos said grimly.

I suddenly felt the need to draw my daggers.

"To make matters worse, Order and his son will attempt to stop you, as they've sided with the Demons." Chaos added, and I paled considerably.

"What about Annabeth Chase?" I was dreading the answer I was going to get.

"Alive, and well. So be careful, all of the Demons will extinguish your life force with minimum power." Chaos warned, before adding, "Scrouge is back too. So, be careful, Sonic. Void isn't ready to face Order yet. The second he is, we'll both come and aid you in rescuing Zoë and destroying the Demon Path." Chaos said grimly, and my face darkened at the mention of one of my evil counterparts.

"What happened to Zoë though? Their methods of torture?" I asked, and Chaos flickered slightly.

"Just embarrassment, humiliation and enternal nightmares. So hurry up before she loses her sanity." Chaos flickered again, and his face darkened as he began to fade.

"I must take my leave. Order is onto you, so finish your meals quickly so I can teleport you to Mount Everest. Stay safe, my champion." Chaos then faded.

"Damn it... I muttered under my breath, and hurried out of the rest rooms and back to our tables.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Percy's point of view:

The bell rung as I opened up the front door.

I looked around, and saw Sonic, Artemis, Thalia and the others sat at a table for seven. I walked over and took my seat.

"Where was you?" Sonic asked, taking a huge bite out of his Chicken Legend. (A/N: those are the best thing on the menu! Other than the spicy chicken wrap with bacon... -_-)

I saw a chicken and bacon deli roll in front of me as I sat down.

"Talking to my mom. Warning her about what's going on." I simply replied, "Is that mine?" I gestured to the deli roll.

"Yeah, but be quick. Order is on to us." Sonic simply replied, taking a gulp out of his fanta.

(A/N: I would end this chapter here, but it's only 1,400 or so words. And I won't go below 2,000.)

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

I finished the meal in roughly ten or so minutes, and we got up to leave.

"So, how exactly are we supposed to get to Mount Everest?" Knuckles asked, standing next to Brian, who was slurping up the last of his pepsi max.

"Chaos is going to transport us. So let's go." Sonic simply answered and we all exited McDonald's.

The second the door shut behind us, it seemed to vanish, leaving us in a snowy waste land.

"Where are we?" I asked, kicking a bit of snow. A ski jacket somehow appeared on each of us, as well as combat boots and thermals.

"China. Mount Everest is over there." Nico answered, pointing to a huge mountain roughly a mile from here.

Then, the ground rumbled, and cracked open. A rack of seven metal boards rose from the fissure in the ground and snow.

"Sweet! This is our ticket there!" Sonic cheered, and picked up a cobalt blue and silver board.

Thalia picked up a black and silver one, Knuckles' picked up a crimson one which morphed into some kind of hover bike, Brian picked up an aqua, blood red and black board, Artemis had a silver one, and Nico had a pure black one.

The last one was a deep emerald green and blue board, with silver waves and orange flames running along the sides of it.

"And what in my father's name are these things, and how do we work them?" Nico asked, eyeing the board he picked up.

"Their called 'Extreme Gear'. Easy: stand up on it, or imagine it as a bike if you want, and just ride it like a skateboard." Sonic grinned and hopped on his extreme gear. He then rode off, with Knuckles following him.

Artemis, Thalia and Nico then hopped on and rode after them, leaving me with Brian Nox.

"Ready, Brian?" I asked the thirteen year old boy.

"More then ever." Was his simple reply, and his board turned into a bike, as did mine.

We then hopped onto our extreme gear, and sped off after the others.

I could feel the bitter cold air of China whip against my face as we raced down the slope. It reminded me a bit of Shadow Travel, just with the danger addition of falling off and dying.

I quickly swerved to the left as multiple chunks of rock and ice came crumbling down on where I once was.

Brian came up behind me, a balaclava covering most of his face.

"How much longer!" I yelled over the howling winds.

"I dunno... Wait... AVALANCHE!" Sonic shouted, and sped up.

"What the...?" I asked myself and looked behind me.

"Oh... Crap..." I cursed as I saw a colossal avalanche tumbling down behind me.

(LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK! LINE BREAK!)

Me (Soul): Now... No reveiws, eh? Well, I told ya, I'll take my sweet ass time.

Doomwave: He was going to spam you guys, so think yourselves lucky.

Me: Oh well, I have three fractured fingers and four cracked knuckles at the moment...

Doomwave: From punching someone in the face five or six times... Maybe more. And it wasn't me! Haters... -_-

Me: Oh well, we got no reviews! So, no reviews, you wait until I can be fucked to update. Simples.

Doomwave: When should your hand be better anyway?

Me: By next week, but I'm having a 3D scan on my abdomen as well as most likely having an operation... -_-

Doomwave: And those chest pains? You may have major issues!

Me: Whatever. Now, I need to hope and pray that someone has the heart to update. If so, I MAY do a little romantic scene for you guys... Or just another Percy / Zoe meeting.

Doomwave: Is that all?

Me: Nope. Read and Review guys, and I allow you to live. It's a very lovely deal on my end.

Doomwave: Reaping souls?

Me: Oh, how'd ya know?!

Doomwave: It's obvious.

Me: Yeah, let's just sign the story so I can go boxing.
