Yeah so I don't own anything and never will even though I wish I could.

Percy's POV

Josh's sword connected with mine creating a resounding clink that rang throughout the trees. We stayed with our swords grating against one another. It allowed me a quick moment to glance over to Annabeth and see she was locked in combat with Maddison.

When I looked back at Josh I saw that he was also momentarily distracted, probably trying to see what the status of Megan was. So I decided to use that to my advantage and disarm him. With one quick and basic flip of my sword, I had my sword at his throat and his on the ground.

Stunned, he stared at me but quickly realized his mistake. I motioned for him to step back which he quickly obeyed, considering I had my sword at his throat. Knowing that I had clearly won and he had no chance unless Megan decided to bring in some shots with her bow.

Annabeth and Maddison were fighting, but Annabeth soon had Maddison in a similar position. She looked up and met my gaze and nodded. I knew that meant that everything was under control, so I started moving towards their flag. I slowly plucked it out of the ground and backed away towards the river.

Annabeth was following me back to our territory, and at the same time we both put down the kids weapons. "Well kids, nice playing with you. Now we've got a game to go win!" Then we dashed back into the woods.

After not too much of running I could see a battle at the border line blocking our path. Of course we were clearly winning, but they were still in the way of our path to victory. We both knew that we would have to take a different path to the other side so we took a hard right, and saw an open space.

Running onward and jumping over the river, we landed with victory in our hands. The horn sounded, signaling that the game was over.

All of our old friends came and congratulated Annabeth and I while we high fived each other. Most of us had the maturity (hint*hint*not) to rub it in to our children that we had totally crushed them. Then a loud thunderous applause sounded, almost as if the sky was clapping. We glanced towards the hill top and saw...our parents. The godly ones.

Poseidon stepped forward and clamped me on the back saying, "Good game son. And of course, the same to you, Annabeth."

The two of us smiled up at him as Athena stepped forward to talk to the campers. "All of you campers did a good job as well. Don't get to down about losing to your skilled opponents. Your day will come. Maybe it will come over the Hunters." That caused some of the campers to smirk and others let a cheer.

Artemis looked like she wanted to say something, but she bit she held back.

The gods left their comrades to talk to all of their children when Nico asked "Where's my dad? I thought he was coming with you guys?"

All of the gods looked at each other and shared curious look. Zeus was the one to break the silence. "I think he is running a bit late. He should be here-"

"I'm here! I'm here! Don't worry, I made it. So when does the game start?" Wow. I bet you could only guess who that is.

"Um… Dad the game is already over." Nico said with a confused look on his face.

"Dang! I was hoping to get in on it. I haven't played in years." A mysterious voice said, that sounding vaguely familiar.

"See Hades, I told you we should have left earlier. But no, you said we would have plenty of time before the game starts, and we missed it!" A second voice, more feminine this time, replied, also coming from behind the trees. Again sounding familiar.

Hades rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes I know I made a mistake. Now hush it before I send you back to the Underworld for good!"

Neither voice made a noise nor did anyone else. So I decided to ask, "Who's behind the tree?"

Hades smiled and said, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so I'll just have them show you." He turned to the people behind the tree and said, "If you may."

When this, two people I never expected to ever see again stepped out from behind the tree, and everyone's jaws hit the ground. Even the campers that were not in Aphrodite's and Hephaestus's cabins looked shocked. These two camper's stories had been told throughout the camp, and they were quite famous.

Of course they just smiled and said, "Well hey there everybody. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

When no one replied he went for the more direct approach. He looked straight at me and said, "Well Percy you definitely have grown up. I assume that you and Annabeth got married considering those two look just like the two of you." Beckendorf pointed to where Josh and Maddison were standing. "See I told you she liked you." He finished with a grin.

If it was any other time I would have come up with a smart remark, but I still wasn't over the fact the he was here, much less alive.

"Bu-but the explosion… How? " Sadly that was all I could get out, but he knew what I was talking about.

"Yes, I did die in the explosion…" He looked down forlornly just as we all did. The women came up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder before he continued. "But at the end of the war when she came, we both ended up in Elysium. It was like we were complete again. So, as normal couples do, we got married and, you know, had kids." He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

While the rest of our eyes were partially bulging out of our head, Nico, being Nico, had to ask, "I thought that once you're in the Underworld you couldn't have kids? How did that happen?" We all naturally looked at Hades, but he just shrugged and said, "Hey don't look at me, I don't know either."

"Yeah, but that is most definitely not true because we don't only have one kid," the women says. As she says that, almost as if on cue, a little girl about two years old waddles over to her mother who picks her up saying, "This is Sadie our youngest." Then a boy about the age of nine walks out with a girl who looks about thirteen and stood in front of their mom and dad. "This is our son Henry and our daughter Stephanie."

I'm positive that if our jaws could have dropped any further or our eyes gone out anymore without popping out then they would have. They were both dead, yet they had three freakin kids! How did that happen?

Clarisse had to say the one thing that came to her mind. "Holy shit."

They laughed and said, "Ok now that some of you are over your shock, do we get some hugs?"

Aphrodite was the first to rush forward and hug the whole lot of them. She had tears streaming down her face saying, "I can't believe it…you're back! Don't ever leave again! I love you guys!"

"I love you too mom and I'm sorry that we didn't tell you that we were coming back. Hades wouldn't let us tell anyone, including you and Hephaestus." Silena said looking a bit teary eyed herself.

"Oh don't be apologizing! You did nothing wrong," She said sweet and lovingly. But then she suddenly she let go of Silena and stared moving towards Hades with a murderous look.

Aphrodite pointed her finger at him. "But you have the need to apologize. You could have told me that you were bringing back one of my favorite children. Hell, you didn't even tell me that I had grandchildren!" At this point she was yelling as we all stood and watched the scene play out in front of us.

Hephaestus was walking towards them when Aphrodite started yelling again, "And having my grandchildren grow up in the Underworld. I can't believe it! They need a real life and-"

Hades cut her off quickly trying to save himself, "I couldn't agree more. It's no place for a child to grow up, as Maria would say." He said looking at Nico, who just looked down sorrowfully until Thalia came over and grabbed his hand.

Aphrodite smiled sadly at the couple, then turned back to Hades with somewhat of a lightened expression. "Fine, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook. If you-"

Aphrodite was cut off by Hephaestus who stepped in between the two. "Aphrodite calm down and be happy that they're back. And before she finds a way to kill Hades I think that we should have a special bonfire tonight in honor of the return of my son, newest daughter, and my grandchildren."

We cheered and Chiron said, "Why I think that's a splendid idea my Lord. And I believe that we have another surprise for this bonfire if I stand correct." He looked at me with a sly smile as I nodded and made sure all of the other guys did the same. Chiron nodded again. "And you may want to get Beckendorf in on it, too."

I grinned and said, "Yeah, if we can drag him away from everybody for a while." Looking over, I watched the big crowd of people around the family.

Alright here another chapter! Personally I liked writing this chapter, but I think I'm going to like the next one even better! And don't worry it won't be boring because you'll find out what Percy and the boys have planed… then some other stuff so this will be interesting…..
