Sorry for the long wait on this. But here is the new chapter for this story.

Answers to reviews:

phoenix emperor 23: It gets annoying that they demand I change the pairing like they are the boss of me, and believe me NOBODY is the boss of me.

Crazzytony: Easily, have Dante and Nero be vital to this story. It is Dante's wife that's kidnapped, like hell he's going to stick to Red Grave and not give a damn.

Light Hero Kaiser: Well, I ain't making Nero a demigod.

blueassassin996: thank you.

Kegeto: Thanks.

SolSparda369: Well, i wouldn't say they'd cause damage like two destructive kids, I'd say they'd become more like bros who go out drinking and flirting with women every single night.

chungorion15: Thanks.

"Damn, this place has changed since I last saw it." Drake said as he marvelled at the sight of the camp in Winter. The cabins were decorated with tiny flickering lights, like Christmas lights, except they seemed to be balls of real fire. More lights glowed in the woods and even a fire flickered in the attic window of the Big House, where the Oracle dwelt, imprisoned in an old mummified body.

"It's beautiful." Silena smiled as her feet trudged through the snow.

"That it is." Drake smirked.

"Woah...is that a climbing wall?" Nico said in awe as he looked at where the climbing wall was.

"Yep." Drake nodded.

"Why is there lava pouring down it?"

"Little extra challenge." Drake shrugged. He climbed that thing three times and had to endure the lava pouring out of it. Not his finest moment considering he wasn't expecting it. He had been trained to kill demons, not take on obstacle courses that would give drill sergeants a run for their money. "Damn, if I had known this place was getting decorated for Christmas... Id have brought some shopping."

Silena smirked at him. "Why isn't Devil May Cry decorated?"

Drake chuckled. "Dad doesn't decorate, no matter how many times i or Lady have convinced him to try and be in the Christmas spirit. He says his spirit is to eat pizza, strawberry Sundaes and spend time with me. Besides, our Christmas gifts are mostly killing demons." He then turned to Zoe who had been counting the Hunters and looking at the camp with a little distaste. "Bad memories, Zoe?"

Zoe sighed. "You don't want to know." She looked at Drake. "The Hunters and I shall be at our cabin getting unpacked."

"Wait, don't you want to see Chiron?" Percy asked confused while Drake and Zoe gave him 'Are you serious?' looks.

"No." Zoe said coldly, glaring at Percy before she nodded at Drake then turned and walked to the Artemis cabin with the rest of the Hunters.

"Rude." Percy frowned.

"Percy, give them a break." Drake sighed. He really did not want a confrontation to happen. He didn't know what side he'd choose if he was brought into it. The Hunters are basically his sisters since Artemis looks at them like her own daughters, but he didn't want to hurt his friends' feelings. "They haven't interacted with guys all that much, and they don't exactly have a great history with this camp from what I can see and have heard so far."

"We should make sure the Stolls keep clear of them." Silena stated. "If they pull pranks on the Hunters...we may end up seeing two heads rolling."

"Yeah, better make sure they don't do that." Drake nodded as he shoved his hands into his pockets before he felt something, which made him frown and look only for his eyes to widen, a wild blush coming onto his face, as he held a condom packet and quickly shoved it into his pocket before Silena could see it.

'I'm gonna put a demonic bullet in his head one day.' Drake thought angrily, knowing Apollo was the cause of this.

Drake looked around the camp and since this was the first time he had been to the camp when not in the summer, he was surprised at how empty it was. The only one currently here was the year rounder's.

Outside the Hephaestus Cabin was Beckendorf who gave them a wave as they walked past. Katie from the Demeter cabin waved as well. he Stoll brothers, Travis and Connor, from the Hermes cabin, were picking the lock on the camp store. Annabeth promptly threw a snowball at their heads and told them to quit it before they took off running back into the Hermes cabin.

A few kids from the Ares cabin were having a snowball fight with the wood nymphs at the edge of the forest but when they saw them, Silena frowned.

"Where's Clarisse? She's usually a year rounder so she should be here. You don't think something happened to her do you?" She asked as Drake gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry I am sure she is fine. We can ask Chiron when we get to the big house. I'm sure he has the answer." He said as Silena nodded though it did not take away the uneasy look on her face.

When they neared the big house they all noticed it was decorated with strings of red and yellow fireballs that warmed the porch but didn't seem to catch anything on fire. Inside, flames crackled in the hearth. The air smelled like hot chocolate, which made everyone aside from Drake smile and closed their eyes. The scene was warm and soothing.

Drake was licking his lips. Now he wanted a bar of Chocolate so bad! But pizza was still WAY better.

On the front porch as usual was Chiron and Mr. D who were busy playing a quiet came of cards. Chiron's brown beard was shaggier for the winter. His curly hair had grown a little longer. He wore a fuzzy sweater with a hoof print design on it, and he had a blanket on his lap that almost hid his wheelchair completely.

Mr D though looked no different and as usual was wearing his leopard print shirt with a diet coke in his hand, his substitute drink since he could not drink alcohol.

As they got to the steps Chiron looked up and his face changed into one of happiness and smiled as the returning and new demi-gods.

"You are all back and you were successful I take it?" He asked as Percy, Thalia, Annabeth and Grover nodded. "Drake, Silena it's nice to have you back at long last. I was not sure I would see either of you again until the summer."

"Meh, decided to help these nuggets." Drake gestured to his friends with a smirk. "We stepped in and complately made them look like kindergarten kids."

Thalia slapped him on the back of the head. "Knock it off." She warned.

"What?" Drake asked 'innocently' which made Thalia narrow her eyes at him.

"Well it's nice to have you both back." He said as he then turned to Nico and Bianca who were staring at him in surprise. "And you must be the two new demi-gods?" He asked looking at them with kind eyes which made them both relax a little.

"Yes sir. I'm Bianca and this is my little brother Nico." She introduced as he nodded his head.

"It's a pleasure to meet you my dear. My name is Chiron and I am the activities director here at Camp Half Blood meaning most of the training you will receive here will be headed by myself."

They both nodded before he looked back at the large group. "There was no problems I hope."

"Nothing we couldn't handle though we did not come back alone." Annabeth said as she huffed a little making Thalia and Silena grin.

"The Hunters of Artemis came with us." Drake said and explained the situation of how they ran into Artemis and her Hunters before Artemis told her Hunters that they will be going to Camp Half-Blood while she hunts a monster.

Everyone watched as Chiron's face dropped a little at the news while Mr. D groaned loudly. "Well this is unexpected but I suppose they were due for a visit eventually."

Drake raised an eyebrow. "Was their last visit THAT bad?"

"You have no idea." Chiron and Mr. D said in sync with groans before Chiron continued. "The last time they were here we had to rebuild two of our cabins and said gods of those cabins were not impressed."

They looked over at Annabeth who explained.

"Some Ares and Aphrodite children made fun of them and argued with them a lot. The hunters responded by torching their cabins just as they left. It caused Ares and Aphrodite to be extremely angry at Artemis and apparently told her to keep the girls in line or they would make them pay."

Drake whistled. "Damn..."

Chiron looked at him. "And are they fine with you staying in the same cabin as them?"

Drake nodded. "Yeah. Only me, my Mom, and Zoe can get into the room my Mom made for me. Shame I didn't bring Luna and Akela with me this time, they would've loved those two."

"You can still stay in my cabin if you want." Silena offered with a smile. "My mother won't mind."

Chiron coughed a little. "Um...perhaps that would not be a good idea since you two are...together correct? It might not be the best thing to do." Chiron asked but Silena gave him a glare.

Mr. D sighed and spoke. "Let them be, Chiron. Besides, if you gets knocked up then that's their problem." He looked at the two blushing demigods. "But for the love of Olympus, PLEASE wear protection. I didn't agree to watching babies."

Drake snorted. "funny how you talk about protection when most of you gods don't know what that word even means in sex."

Mr. D gave him a look but he did have a point so he shrugged. "Well, take that up with the others, especially my father since he can't keep it in his pants."

Thunder rumbled in warning, making Mr. D roll his eyes at Zeus' dramatics.

"Good thing too. We don't need any little Drake's or Silena's around camp just yet." Grover added making the group laugh while the two mentioned demigods glared at the satyr, promising him pain later on.

Seeing this Chiron glanced towards Bianca and Nico and then looked back too Grover. "Grover, perhaps you should take our young friend to the den and show him our orientation film."

"But-! Oh, right. Yes, sir."

"Orientation film?" Nico asked. "Is it G or PG?' Cause Bianca is kinda strictâ€""

"I would prefer Nico not watched anything above his age criteria. I don't need him having nightmares." Bianca said firmly and crossing her arms showing a bit of confidence and acted almost as if she was his mom.

"It's PG-13." Grover said and Bianca frowned and then looked towards Chiron.

"Is there is a lot of blood in it or a large amount of swearing?" She asked as Chiron shook his head.

"Only a minor amount of blood and there is no swearing." He said as Bianca nodded and tapped her chin before sighing.

"Hmm fine I guess it will be fine for him to watch." She said making Nico smile at her happily. Grover then led the two new kids away and towards the orientation room.

When they left Chiron looked towards the group remaining. "With the hunters here I guess the friendly capture the flag game will be up again. I would like you all to go down to the cabins. Inform the campers we'll be playing capture the flag tomorrow evening."

"Capture the flag. Will that really be necessary?" Drake asked as Chiron nodded.

"It's a tradition," Chiron said. "A friendly match, whenever the Hunters visit."

"Yeah." Thalia muttered. "I bet its real friendly."

"Come on, we have to beat them for once. They have fifty victories while we have zero. We have to beat them at least once." Annabeth pleaded since she really was sick of losing to them and she wanted to show them just how more skilled and efficient they were now.

Everyone then looked at Drake who held his arms up. "Don't look at me. I ain't choosing sides here. You know I don't play the game anyway."

"Why not?" Annabeth demanded. "With you, we'd win!"

Drake looked at her. "Annie, I hunt demons for a living...not play capture the flag games that sounds like something out of a Halo game. Besides, I'd rather remain neutral and not choose sides between the Hunters and you guys so I don't hurt the other."

The others sighed but nodded. They understood. He just met his 'sisters' and wanted to have a bond with them, not be an enemy.

Drake gave Silena a kiss before he walked over to his cabin and knocked. it took a few seconds before the door was answered by Zoe.

"Oh, hey Drake." Zoe smiled and allowed him entry. Drake nodded at the other Hunters. Some gave him wary looks, some nodded back with polite smiles.

"So, you're the son of our mistress." A girl said as she stood and walked over. This girl must;ve been the tank of the group because she sure looked it.

"Easy Phoebe." Zoe warned. "Artemis warned us-"

"I know, not to hurt her son in any way." Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Seriously Zoe, cut me some slack." She looked at Drake. "So, you really did battle Ares, Medusa, Echidna, and the defeated the Kraken?"

Drake nodded before walking past her towards his room. "Yep, and I got the head to prove it." He opened his door and entered, the Hunters staying at the doorway but Zoe entered and looked his room over curiously. It was a good size, had a window next to the bed with a good view of the sky where the moon would be, and a large cupboard that Drake opened...to reveal the head of the Kraken.

"Wow..." Zoe said with wide eyes as she walked over with Phoebe and they ran their hands along the jaw of the Kraken's head. "We heard you jumped into it's mouth and destroyed it from the inside."

Drake winced at the memory. "Yeah. After I got the others on boats to leave the ship, I took on the Kraken, jumped into it's mouth and destroyed it from the inside." he looked at his sword. "Don't even know how I did it. I added demonic power to it but..."

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "But what?"

Drake shook his head. "Nothing. Doesn't matter." he shut the closet and looked at the Hunters. "Satisfy your curiosity?"

They nodded and the other Hunters went to their beds, chatting and doing...whatever they do here. Zoe stayed in Drake's room, watching him hang his sword on a hook on the wall, then take his coat off and hang that up as well. Zoe's eyes roamed over the muscles in his arms and his chest, gulping a little before she shook the thoughts and feelings away.

She shouldn't feel like this, especially for her 'brother'.

"When you changed..." Zoe began, causing Drake to look at her. "Into your Devil Trigger when battling Ares, what was it like?"

Drake paused and looked down to consider the words before he sighed and shrugged. "Can't explain it. But, it did feel as if a part of me that had been getting squeezed had finally been released and I felt complete. Getting stabbed with my own sword...that's a common thing in my dad's side of the family. He's been stabbed by his own sword at the hands of his brother and it awakened his Devil Trigger."

"His own brother?" Zoe raised an eyebrow before remembering that Dante once mentioned a brother. "Vergil?"

Drake nodded. "Yeah. Haven't had the chance to meet him, don't know if he's dead or alive. Last Dad told me of him, he had been trapped in the demon world after he freed him from being Nelo Angelo years ago."

Zoe nodded before asking. "So, will you be part of the game?"

"Nope. I ain't choosing sides in this." Drake said with a smirk aimed at her, making her roll her eyes but she smiled at getting the chance to bond more with her 'little brother' and make sure he wasn't like the men she knew, even if being in his presence made her heart flutter...

And that's it for this chapter folks. I hope you all enjoyed it. By the way, I'm considering having a Reading story of this series made with the cast of PJO and HoO reading the series. So if anyone wants to do it, or they want me to do it, then tell me in the reviews.

Remember, I'm considering it, it's not a confirmation that I WILL do it.
