Me: Guess who's going to Universal today?

Finn: We are! Kat's first time going.

Me: I have a fear of heights, so there was no real reason to. Roller coasters and such.

Finn: And all her friends are roller coaster maniacs, I think Kat and I will just watch them flip around… ugh.

Me: Agreed. Hey, this is the first Character Academy of the New Year!

Finn: Last year…

Me: NO IT'S NOT. –whacks with celery-

Chapter 26

Percy POV (OMGWTF)

I tilted downward, and we shot back toward the field where the battle was taking place. Everyone seemed to be holding up good, but a couple Decepticons were charging their way across, going to overwhelm us. I yelled and the campers on pegasi saw where I was pointing and flew to defeat. Optimist Prime was off somewhere, only showing up when needed. It seemed like we were winning for a moment, but then my heart dropped a few floors when I saw another wave of Cucumber Baddies. The gods were slowly killing Typhon and a few orcs got into the school, dashing around the courtyard and I flew after them.

Can we get some doughnuts? Man, I'm so hungry… Blackjack grumbled as we soared towards the clumsy things.

"Later, we have to kill these things," I said, coming in fast.

Aren't those blue things we're chasing impenetrable or something?

I realized Blackjack was right. My sword wouldn't do me much good here, and by the feeling in my gut, I didn't have enough power to summon a wave to wash them away. Then I saw my solution, a red alarm. Not your typical alarm though, remember what school I go to. I halted Blackjack and ran to it. I switched the lever and ran back to my pegasus, desperate to get in the air as fast as possible. The bear-hounds weren't too fond of me. A metal gate swung open and the terrifying creatures leaped out, growling and barking at the same time. They looked like huge grizzly bears, with dog tails, tongue, and a double amount of teeth, one set from dogs, the other from bears. They also had enhanced speed and smell. They tore across the field as they smelled an unfamiliar object. I watched from the roof as they attacked the orcs. They wailed and tried to bat the animals away, but they were relentless. I flew away, not wanting to see what happened next. I looked up and saw a flash of lightning, but something was different about that particular lightning bolt. It wasn't as powerful as Zeus', which led me to believe that Kat had done that. Kat! Where was she? I flew past a burned up Decepticon and went down to the battlefield. As I landed and tried to find someone who might know where Kat was, the bear-hounds escaped the school. The Spartan army led by King Leonidas stepped aside as the bear-hounds pounced on the enemy. That should keep them busy. I saw Gale, Kat's supposed husband, and went to ask him.

"Where's Kat?" I asked him.

"I don't know," he shrugged.

"She's your wife, right?"

"NO! She's not my wife! We're never married."

"Then why is she going around, telling everyone that you are?"

"Well, supposedly we were, but then she 'married' Theseus, so I have no idea anymore," Gale sighed.

"Who's Theseus?" I asked. I knew exactly who he was, but I didn't know what he looked like. Gale pointed to a guy in Greek armor, slashing people left and right. I went up to him and he attacked me.

"No! Stop it! I'm on your team!" I yelled, battling him with Riptide.

"What do you want?" he asked, focusing on someone else instead.

"I want to know where your wife is."

"Wife? I'm not married."

"Kat."

"Kat's not… is… oh. I have no idea where she is, I did see her with Finn and they both went into the forest. Then Finn came out and you swooped him up," he said, stabbing someone in the stomach. I ducked underneath someone's sword swing and I slit his throat.

"Thanks!" I called, running to Blackjack. I went to the exact spot I'd left him, and he wasn't there. I looked up to the sky and saw another Kat lightning bolt, but no dark pegasus. Thanks for nothing.

Finn POV

I stepped forward and the door shut behind me. I tried to open it, but it wouldn't open.

"It won't open until I tell it to," the person inside spoke, still kneeling at the altar.

"Um… who are you?" I asked meekly. She stood up and turned towards me. She had wavy blonde hair, but it was hard to tell anything else because the shadows covered her face.

"My name is Rosie, and I am the Oracle of the Delphi."

"Rachel is."
"I am the older one," Rosie scoffed. She turned and sat down on the altar, which seemed strange. "Ask and you shall receive."
"Why am I here?" I asked, still confused about the Oracle thing.

"I had a dream of you, Lawrence."

"I go by Finn," I muttered.

"Do you want me to tell you what it is?"

"I guess." She raised an eyebrow. "Yes!" I exclaimed. She sighed and cupped her hands around her mouth. She blew into it and released her breath into the air. Suddenly, I saw a picture of me, I was standing over a dead body, not crying, but I was going to. I couldn't see who it was, but it must be someone important. Then I was at a funeral service, the body in a golden coffin and everyone in the school was at the pews and I saw that I was standing in the front, speaking the eulogy. Then the picture vanished.

"That's it?" I asked.

"I only get glimpses in dreams. The prophecy for you is different," Rosie said. She doubled over, like someone punched her and her eyes began to glow green. Green smoke poured into the room and I stood there, terrified. This had only happened once, and that was fake me, in Kingdom Keepers Maximum Ride Crossover.

"The land of the dead is where you go. Make it through, but no one can know. Five days await. The ocean, the light, the dead one awake. Collect your toll, and accept your fate. The breath of the lost one holds in bate." Rosie coughed and stood up.

"Thanks…?" I said, unsure how to handle this 'news'.

"The prophecy is happening soon. Very soon. Possibly in the next hour. Nothing you can do to prevent it, but you only have five days to accomplish this mission. Make haste, Lawrence. Make haste," she whispered and disappeared. I stood there for a while, expecting her to come back, but she didn't. I ran out of the room as fast as possible and almost ran into Taffy.

"Someone's in trouble!" I said anxiously.

"Who?"

"I don't know," I said. He stared at me for a moment. Rosie appeared suddenly, in the middle of the deck and I stifled a shriek. No one seemed to see her. She mouthed the words and that's something I'll never forget. I'm not very good at reading lips, so when I tried to, I thought she said 'Map'.

"Map?" I said outloud. She shook her head.

"Who are you talking to?" Taffy asked. Rosie mouthed the word again and this time I understood.

"Kat."

Me: OOH! What's going to happen to me?

Finn: Another cliffhanger? I think you have to finish off the last one.

Me: No I don't! Leave me alone!

Finn: -sigh- Whatever.
