Alright! I'm back, sorry it's a day late, but it's here! ( and I know I've been getting later each week but, I'm busy and stuff!)

Thanks to everyone who followed/favorited/reviewed!

TheAviatingAviatorOfAviation: I get you, I'd be the same way!

I still don't own anything, quit askin!

Enjoy, we get to see Chaotic Nico!

At the Cavern…

"I'm bored! Why can't I just go play with my newest toy!" Nico's voice rivalled that of a three year old not getting a cookie.

"Well suck it up big shot! Nobody cares!" Percy finally snapped, something that startled everybody into a newfound awareness. The three never fought. Something was up. The look in his eyes were something to be bargained with.

"Remind me why I'm the only sensible one out of all three of us," His statement was obviously rhetorical, and his voice was coated with a decent about of silent fury.

"Well, maybe because you still believe that your doppleganger is just some guy planning on taking a nice long vacation with you in the corner, pouting all by yourself," Nico taunted back, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Like you've got any room to talk! If it was up to Mister Noble But Dark Intentions, you would be long gone and he would be dead!" Percy shouted back, standing up with this new burst of emotion.

"Look, I have to deal with Thing, so if you two would just kindly move out of the way, I would be much obliged," Jason told them with a thin voice that was terribly strained.

"What? Why do you get to play with your new toy? I want to play with Junior! He such an adorable little thing really. He loves blood too! He bit my fingers while I was petting him, so I definitely gotta stock up-you know, since he loves it so much. It's a pity he has such noble ideals though, like honestly, who wants to help those insufferable gods. They're-" Nico was cut off by Jason and Percy who finished his sentence for him.

"Completely twisted and need to be set straight in the path of the new era, yes we know. So shut up!"

There was a small stunned silence before Zoe spoke up,"Hey Perce, what was with killing my hunter? A simple amputation would've been fine-you didn't need to kill her!" She glared at him, daring him to make a move to defend himself, believing that he had no out.

Besides, she had been wanting to fight him for a while, the amount of annoyance he had was off any chart that could be calculated.

"Yeah, about that," Percy chuckled softly, almost looking ashamed,"I didn't do it, that was Nico,"

"As if Seaweed Brain!" Zoe scoffed, crossing her arms.

"I did what now?" Nico looked at the others, now torn from his morbid and horrifying thoughts.

The rest of the people in the room just sighed and sat back as best they could, this was going to be a long fight, and probably the last thing they would ever hear if they succeeded.

Above...

Screams were coating the air. The huge primordial was towering above innocents, her armies tearing them to shreds from their poor skills.

Up above, the Olympians were readying themselves for war, down below, monsters flooded into portals that led to the mortal world, ready to create havoc where there wasn't already.

In the middle of it all, Nemesis sat calmly, checking the thousands of fortune cookies for decent meanings.

You will die a slow and painful death. That was the message on the small slip of paper grasped within her fingers.

Normally that would be a beautiful message, however, that was the two-hundredth and forty-seventh one in a row. She sighed and leaned back on her rock, letting the resealed cookie fall into her basket. There was too much evil being done. It was upsetting the balance, and nothing ticked her off than an offset scale.

But she wanted to let the demigods win-they had finally gotten her children a respectable place among them. Well, respectable may be stretching it, but they at least had a cabin at camp, which is more than some of her older children could say.

But there was too much evil being done, and the gods couldn't intervene.

But she'd be breaking the old laws to help her child directly.

But the gods were readying themselves for war.

But she didn't have to help just her child, it would be an added bonus.

But the old prophecy…

Nemesis threw away her baskets of cookies with the whisk of one hand and rubbed her temples. This was a hard decision, maybe she should just wait for a little while. You know, just to see how things played out. Maybe they wouldn't need her help. Maybe the day could go on just fine and by tomorrow's rise, the three would be dead or back in their care. Maybe everything would be fine.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

She glanced downwards at the chaos below, waiting and willing her brain to think of how to beat this evil, but still let them win. To not set them free.

One hour later….

Reyna was nearly ready to beat her head up against a wall to knock herself unconscious. They had been arguing for one hour-Percy and Zoe at least. Nico didn't seem to care much for anything-just going back to play with Junior, whatever that was.

The anger from the last few days left her numb, and nothing seemed to be worthy of provoking any emotion from her anymore. Well, at least she had thought so until those two had started arguing.

A shriek rang out in the cavern, something indiscernible. Their captors, who managed to stop fighting for a couple minutes looked upwards and towards the back of the cavern. Obviously it was some sort of message that only they could decipher. It kind of left Reyna in awe, actually. The brilliance of their schemes-well, what they knew of them so far, was, astonishing! It was the type of planning that Reyna wished she had the capacity to think up herself, even if the pawns were annoying enough.

She cursed herself mentally when she realized she had zoned out and that they were now talking-even Percy was off the angry hunter, although some strands of her hair dusted his shoulders, having been pulled out in the midst of battle.

"Well, that got boring-" Percy was stating, a look of annoyance on his face, and if you looked carefully, she thought she could see some fear?

"Who cares-I'm heading back to Junior! I bet he's missed me so much. Or he's tried to escape! One of the two-but it doesn't matter! He'd get lost in the maze anyways-oh I need to test him with that…" Nico trailed off to a dull whisper as he started thinking through things that he'd have to do to Junior, most of which were quite disturbing to say the least.

"Alright, alright, we get it, but we can't sit and babysit these guys out here and go play with Thing and Junior. Hey Perce, since you don't want to hang with the other one how about you stay and watch 'em!"

"What! NO way, and who says that I don't want to hang with Starfish? I say we split them up among the three of us. Wait, actually, how about we lock up in Nico's dungeon? They won't escape and he could still work!" Percy complained immediately, making everyone roll their eyes.

"Well, whatever you decide, we gotta get up there so here's their keys, just make sure they're still breathing when we get back," Zoe hissed at them as the other nine made their way to a sudden portal at the end of the room, their weapons drawn. Percy scrambled for the fallen keys, glaring at them as they left.

"Fine, I'll take them, but they better not get in my way," Nico growled, taking the lead chain that connected them all and yanked it hard, causing them all to stumble. The other two just smirked.

Above…

The battle was not facing a very fortuitous outcome. The nine new figures on the field, were battling the twelve olympians, hardly breaking a sweat by the looks of it. Their taunting was the majority of the battle. Nemesis still had not reached a conclusion and she was running out of time. She had already spoken to Zues, and he had told her to trust her instincts, which meant even the almighty king didn't know what to do and was setting it up to fall completely on her.

She took another look at the battlefield, hoping for the correct answer to make itself known.

Well, she did know it, she just didn't want to follow through with it.

Maybe she didn't have a choice.

She cracked open another fortune cookie: The answer is inside of you.

Just what she needed. She hated it when her own words were used against her. Sighing, she stood up and prepared to make her way into the realm of Tartarus, where the monsters were obviously hidden, but she'd need to steal away Hermes for the journey. The thought made her smile, steal away Hermes? The many implications ran through her head as she jumped down from the the rock she'd been sitting on smashing many monsters while doing so.

Hopefully this was the right choice.

In Nico's portal….

"Junior, I'm home!" Nico grimaced as his chaotic came through one of the many halls that led out into the maze. His energy was low, due to the chains-and for the millionth time, he wondered why he hadn't even considered the possibility that they could have been used on him.

The rustling of chains and many footsteps bothered him, but he barely had the strength to raise his eyelids so he could see.

"Oh, yes, I brought along some friends-though, don't worry they won't take too much time away from you," his Chaotic rambled, his voice turning more sweety, like he was talking to a puppy.

Gasps filled the space as he summoned what little strength he had left-if it was his brothers, but he could only make it halfway before his head dropped down again. He tried wailing again, but it came out as a pitiful moan. There was no answer.

Well, not the answer he wanted at least.

"Junior? Are you alright? Junior?" the Chaotic sounded slightly, oh so slightly, genuinely worried about his health. The hurried ushering of whatever was being locked up was clue enough.

He felt the rough hands on his chin and cheek, lifting his head enough so that he could see through the slits between his eyelashes. Nothing much though, manly a big blob and darkness. Another groan escaped his lips, making him wince as he tried to set his head back down, only to be stopped by the rough, but gently firm hands that seemed to be everywhere around his head.

There was a muttering buzz and some shouts but he couldn't make out what they were. Although, he could feel his body slowly getting closer to his center, meaning that the chains were being brought together, and they stopped draining his energy, but he couldn't make out how, they hadn't been designed that way-had the Chaotic been messing with his designs? What all happened to them? He was having trouble making stuff out at this point-what was that thing above him again? His friend? No. His brother? No. His Master? Hmm, maybe, but something was telling him to fight, but he didn't want to.

Maybe he really was his master of some sort-afterall it really looked like he cared about him-the way his head was being cradled was an attestment to that.

The gap between his eyelashes started growing smaller, soon everything was just a blur, but his energy was starting to build ever so slightly-like something running slow motion, he just had to wait for it to come back. Yeah, that was it.

He tried curling up into a small ball, something comfy to wait in until his strength came back, but he found he was having too much difficulty and allowed one word to escape his lips. Then everything faded.

Alright that is a wrap! So sorry this is really late, marching band has been slowly taking over my life and school started last week for me, so I've been really busy. Fear not, I will still be giving you guys another chapter this week!
