1136 & 003: Time Traveler Olympics…

Alex's POV

I woke up in the Demigod cabin alone. My shoulder and cheek were sore, but I couldn't feel any cuts. Jacob stormed into the cabin, grumbling something about a stupid drunk and horse's ass.

"Hey," I greeted.

He looked up, as if acknowledging me for the first time.

"You're awake," he said.

"Yup. How's we get back to camp?"

"When we passed out in the Fields of Punishment, Hades found out and got a hold of Chiron. He got word to your dad, and he got us back to camp. Brian was the least scraped up," he told me. "My parents haven't been heard from in awhile. My dad disappeared first, then my Uncle Tyson, then my mom. No one knows where they are. Except me."

"Where are they?" I asked, worried about how Jacob was feeling.

"The Pit has them," Jacob said flatly. "And guess what else? Our parents and the other senior demigods are the ones who attacked The Pit's base. They know where The Pit's base is."

"Then we can go save your parents," I said cheerily.

"We can't do anything," Jacob grumbled. "They said it was too dangerous, and that they would go do it themselves."

I sat up in bed. I really didn't care that I was in a tank top and panties only. Jacob wasn't a pervert.

"So that's it?" I asked. "You're just going to sit around while your parents rot?"

Jacob sighed. "What should I do?"

"Oh Jacob," I said, pity in my voice. "So young. So naïve. Tell me can the magic borders keep you in?"

"No," he answered, confused.

"If the harpies caught you could you fight them off?"

"Yes."

"Do you want your parents back or not?"

"Yes I want them back!" Jacob yelled.

I got out of bed, pulled some pants on, and grabbed my necklace. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

"Okay, but we never found out where The Pit's base is," Jacob reminded me.

I sighed and pulled a shirt on. Had I taught him nothing?

"They sent my parents after them," I reminded him. "Children of the Big Three give off strong auras. Those auras are easily detected by gods, monsters…"

"And satyrs," Jacob finished. "Oh no. We're gonna have to take Han with us aren't we?"

"Unless you know another satyr who has no concern for the rules," I said.

Jacob sighed. "I'll go get him."

It took a while to find Han, but we found him, waved a bag of apples and tin cans in front of him, and we were off. I admitted I was a little nervous. I hadn't left Camp Half-Blood since I was eleven, when an empousa almost killed me. At least I had my training. Poor Jacob just had a sword, his powers, and a week of training. Han was…well Han was Han.

Han lead us up and over the hill. I stopped at the top to take one last look at Camp Half-Blood. I put my hand on the tree that was once my mom.

"Here we go…" I whispered.

"Alright first things first we need a ride," Han told us as we walked through the streets. "They took a car or something to wherever they went, and we won't catch up on foot.

I smirked and walked to the nearest car. It was dark inside of it. Perfect. I crawled underneath it, with both Jacob and Han watching me like I was nuts. From there it was a quick shadow travel into the car. Then came the hard part; hotwiring. Just when I thought I couldn't do it, the car roared to life and I popped open the door.

"Who knows how to drive?" I asked.

I ended up steering while Jacob worked the gear shift. Han just sat in the back telling us where to go. It was hard to stay awake, that is until I zapped Jacob in the butt. I swear his eyes didn't blink after that. How did we pay for gas? Don't ask.

I'm not going through the boring details of the driving, because then I'd get bored and fall asleep at the wheel, but eventually we ended up following a black car through the desert in New Mexico. Jacob yawned. Zap.

"That's them alright," Han said. "How fast have we been driving?"

"I floored it whenever I got the chance," I explained.

"That's why the scenery looked so blurry. I thought I just needed glasses."

"How much longer until we get to The Pit's base?" Jacob complained.

"Ask my mom and dad," I retorted.

Just then the car in front of us slammed on its brakes and two figures jumped out. I tried to stop, but we were going too fast and we crashed into the black car. My dad's car. A few seconds later, said black car exploded, and our car caught fire.

"Everybody out!" Jacob ordered.

"The doors are jammed!" Han bleated.

Nico's POV

I swore that car behind us was following us. What's worse, I could only occasionally see the driver. Either there was no driver or the driver was short. But I didn't have time to think about that, because a spear flew towards us and Thalia yelled, "Brake!"

I slammed on the brakes and we both jumped out. The car that had been following us crashed into our car and it exploded.

"Ambush!" Thalia yelled as her shield sprang up.

I drew my sword and watched as arrows rained down on our position. I saw three figures approach, weapons drawn. One fired off a volley of arrows, which Thalia blocked. I jumped forward, and the fight began.

The first one had a simple sword and shield, but he was a good fighter. It took me a whole ten seconds to disarm him and send him to the ground with a swipe to the legs. I jumped into the air to avoid being tripped by a spear swing. A quick parry and followed by a kick and he was gone. I was going to attack the last guy, but he was already on the ground cowering in fear of Thalia. I looked to the huge boulder shaped loosely like a spear point. The entrance to The Pit's HQ. Somewhere in that base was Percy and Annabeth. The last time we'd gone in there, not many of us had come out…

I was interrupted by the explosion of the car that had crashed into mine. I didn't have time to think about that, because Thalia was already at the entrance.

"C'mon Nico, we got a rescue mission to get done!"

"Coming Thalia…" I groaned. Back into the pit of death.

Alex's POV

Smoke was filling the car and the heat of the flames was hard to bear. We were all coughing and our eyes were watering. I still however managed to watch as my parents took out three members of The Pit and entered the base. Jacob took out his pen and clicked it, his sword springing to life. He cut out a hole out of the roof and shoved Han out of the burning car.

"Go!" he coughed.

I jumped out and was about to pull him out when the fire hit the gas tank and…you know what happens from there. I was blown back a good fifteen feet., and Han was knocked unconscious. I got up, and stared at the smoking, flaming hunk of metal that had once been our stolen car. I could see much through the flames and smoke, but eventually something tumbled out, flames dancing across its arms and legs.

"Jacob!" I screamed.
