The Doctor woke up on the cold hard floor. His jaw and head were aching from the puch carrise had given him. He rubbed the side of his face that ached the most before standing up to evaluate his surroundings. He seemed to be in some sort of make shift cell. The walls were stone with rough edges while the door seemed to be solid metal with only one small barred window.

"They seemed to have turned this small cave structure into a prison cell." He said outloud. "Though I must say for a rag tag team teenagers they did a fair job." He said while walking up to the door to examine it. He knocked on the door and tested it in various places, determining the sturdyness and worksmanship.

"This appears to be solid steel. Now, I'm not entirely sure how these kids had the capability and knowledge to craft this masterpeice unless the kids we encountered were just the expendable guarding patrol, they definately have the attitude for it. For some reason there appears to be a severe shortage of adults here. Whether or not if they are prepared for anything you dont just send teenagers off to the woods to fight off monsters without at least soemone to supervise them. So either the people here are really really reckless, or something really really fishy is going on here. Would'nt you say Clara."

He turned around expecting to see her, however no one else was there.

"Oh, your not here. I was wondering why it was so quiet"

He reached into his pocket for the sonic screwdriver which wasnt there. He then patted all his coat and pants pockets frantically looking for it until he realized he was holding it when he was punched out. Either it was lost in the woods or someone else had it, he truly was trapped.

"Wait! Hello! Someone!," he yelled. "I swear if anyone so much as touches her I'll burn this camp to the ground, you hear me!"

He began searching the cell for anything left behind that may assist him in his escape. He flipped over rocks, reached through cracks and holes, and brushed through piles of dead leaves.

"You won't find anything in there, and you can't get out, it's perfectly secure," said a voice that came from outside.

"This may surprise you, but I have succesfully escaped from far more complex and deadly prison cells before." he said while still rumaging through dead leaves. The leaves now littered his coat and hair.

"What do you want anyway, you came all the way out here and disobeyed your leader to see me so you must want something."

"How do know we disobeyed anyone or that we want anything?"

"We? So your not alone, got someone else with you do you."

"Yes he does, I'm his friend." said a female voice

"Great, good, its good to have friends, but not good I'm still stuck in here so are you going to let me out or not cause if not your wasting my time." He said while reaching his arm down a large crevice in the wall.

"Lets start with intoductions, Im Annabeth and this is Percy."

"I'm the Doctor," he replied. He could feel something inside the crevice. With one last shove he was able to reach and grab it. He carefully and silently pulled it out. It was a sword, its blade was a shiny glistening bronze.

"What is this cell used for anyway," the Doctor asked

"We use this to lock up our prisoners for a game we play call capture the flag. The Hephaestus cabin recently put this together to give our team the edge." Replied Percy.

"Why do you wanna know," asked Annabeth.

"No reason." He said while staring at the blade.

"So are we going to get to the point cause if not im going to take a nap."

"We want to help you and your friend leave," said Annabeth.

"Why though? You must have one heck of a reason to become a traiter to your people."

"If what we think is true we have to do this or their wont be any of our people to come back to," said Percy.

"Explain," the Doctor said bluntly.

"About a day ago Percy found this tape recorder on his porch. It only had one track on it and it was you telling us to realease you so you could avert a crisis only you could avert."

"Sounds like something I would say," he said while twirling the sword around like a toy. "Did it also mention I'm a time traveler?"

"Yes, it even predicted when my seat would break, while I was sitting in it. It was as creepy as much as it hurt my back," said Annabeth.

"Alright then, we will have to go back to the tardis. I'm not even sure what I'm up against yet. The first step is getting me out of here so I hope you also brought the key."

"I bring my own keys," said Annabeth. She took out her hair clip and attempted to pick the lock.

The Doctor could hear the clicking and skratching sounds of the clip as she was picking it. Seconds went by and the door was succesfully picked. Percy and Annabeth pulled the door open as it creaked and groaned loudly. The Doctor walked out with the sword as a cane, which he reluctantly tossed to Percy.

"Here kid, keep it, merry Christmas."

Percy just stood there confused. "Wait, what, but how did you, where did this come from"

"Someone hid it there, watch out for cheaters. Now onto step two, where's Clara."

"She was sent to the big house for interogation," said Annabeth.

"Alright then, take me to it."

"We can't, its across the camp. everyone would see you," said Percy

Annabeth smiled, "I have an idea. We will dress him up as Dionysus."

"What, that will never work," objected Percy.

"He's already a grouchy old guy now all we have to do is dress him up in a trenchcoat, a large hat, and maybe some sunglasses. That could work."

"No, I still don't think so."

"Who's the smart one here"

"Apparently not you."

"Shut up seaweed brain, like you could ever effectively pull anything off without me!"

Percy was about to raise his voice in frustration, and was ready to lash back at Annabeth when he noticed the Doctor was missing.

"Um, where'd he go?"

It was as if all their anger had been diffused. They began searching frantically for where he had gone. From up a small hill Percy spotted him.

"Hey, wait up." Percy and Annabeth immediately raced after him up the hill.

"Sorry, but I have more important things to do rather than listening to your petty fights."

"But you won't make it out here by yourself." said Annabeth

"Yes I can."

Percy and Annabeth just stared at eachother, what was this madman thinking. He drops in from nowhere, gets thrown in prison, and he thinks he can just walk around without any consequnces? They continued to follow behind the Doctor through the woods. It was only a short walk back to then camp, it would'nt be long until they encountered someone. Only a few more seconds passed before they heard someone yell "HEY, OVER THERE!" from across the woods. They peered through the brush to see a group of three kids rushing towards them.

"Oh look, some of your friends have come to greet us," said the Doctor.

"Quite the opposite," said Percy.

"These are the guards we lied to, we sent them on a goosechase to keep them busy while we talked to you."

"We should really run now," chimed in Percy.

"That is what I do best anyway," replied the Doctor, as he quickly turned and sprinted away. Percy and Annabeth ran right behind him. They zig zagged through the brush and trees, trying to lose them but to no avail. They were surprisingly faster than them, even in their armor. It was clear to everyone that they had no chance out running them. The Doctor quickly resorted to to a more tactical method of escaping them, even if it meant knocking them out. He hid behind a tree and picked up a thick log he could barely hold and waited for them to come down the path. Once he could here the rustling of the leaves he threw the log over with all his strength and body weight and smacked the armored kid in the face. His nose was broken and bloody. Annabeth and Percy had a similar idea and teamed up to accomplish a double take down. Soon all the armored kids were on the ground, bloody and some unconcious.

"Here, take this. I already have a sword you'll need it," offered Percy. He held out the sword to the Doctor.

"No thanks, I dont use swords, or any other weapon." replied the Doctor.

"I do however use this," he said, while pulling the sonic screwdriver that was sticking out of one of the unconcious kids pockets. "My good old sonic screwdriver," he chuckled.

"A what?," asked Percy.

"I'll explain later, lets get going." He immediately turned and continued down the path at an expedited pace. Percy and Annabeth followed behind him. A few moments passed until they finally reached the camp.

"Thats the big house right there," pointed out Annabeth. It was across the flat and clear landscape with a few other buildings and several groups of kids wondering about. There was no way they could cross over to the big house without being seen. They are currently hiding behind some brush at the tree line, deciding their next best move. Percy was muttering on about how to best make a distraction or a way to lure everyone away. While Annabeth was talking about how her disguising the Doctor as Dionysis could work and how to pull it off. Meanwhile the Doctor was off to the side watching them muttering to themselves which quickly escalated into another fight. They were restraining themselves from yelling as to not give away their hiding spot, but were whispering really harshly towards eachother.

"Do you fight like this often?," the Doctor chimed in. They both stopped and looked at him.

"Cause if you can't stop this now you would have better luck fighting a dalek."

They looked at him in confusion. Neither of them knew what he was talking about, but they did know it was meant as an insult. They then scowled at him.

"Hey don't look at me like that. I'm not endangering the only being in the world who has the means of saving everyone and everything."

"Well sorry if we're trying to help," lashed Percy.

"Look, it's really not that hard to create a good effective distraction."

"How exactly? I'd like to see you try," said Annabeth.

The Doctor pulled out the sonic screwdriver and held it to them.

"Observe." He then pointed it towards glass jars of greek fire that a nearby cabin had laid out on their porch, and activated it. The tip glowed blue and made its high pitched noise, seconds later the jars shattered and the cabin went up in flames. The entire front of the cabin and its front lawn was engulfed in intense fire. No one seemed to be hurt or on fire thankfully, however this did indeed create the distraction they needed. All the other kids and cabin mates rushed to aid eachother in settling the fire before it spread and the situation got deadly. They now had a clear path across the landscape, but were far from being out of site. If any stray eyes were to look upon them during their crossing they would surely be caught. The Doctor then casualy put the screwdriver away in his coat pocket and gestured for them to procede.

Percy peered over to the burning cabin, watching the kids carefully as to make sure no one was paying any attention.

"But, are'nt you worried we'll be seen," asked Percy. He turned to the Doctor for an answere only to notice he was missing again. He looked across the field and found him already crossing, with Annabeth close behind him. The only thing he could do now was to catch up with them, and hopefully not gain any attention. He sprinted towards them and was able to catch up.

"Why do you keep leaving me," he asked angrily, while sprinting beside him.

"Cause your too slow and we dont have time to wait on you," the Doctor responded.

Percy gritted his teeth.

"Are you always this much of a jerk."

"If you ask any of my friends they will almost certainly say yes."

Percy gave him an angry glare but he didnt notice. They continued crossing the field without being detected. Everyone could smell the stench of the burning cabin in the background, the black smoke trailing off into the sky. It occured to them that they were doing the opposite of what they were sworn to do. Instead of protecting the camp they were aiding in its destruction. They were throwing everything away for a jackass who supposedly is here to help, but so far has done nothing but cause harm. Percy and Annabeth gave eachother weary looks.

"Are you sure we're doing the right thing," asked Percy.

"To be honest, I'm not sure exactly. We've survived much more life threatening situations before, I'm sure it will work out. And if it doesnt, we will finish him off ourselves and return peace to our camp," whispered Annabeth. Percy nodded and continued following behind the Doctor.

They have nearly succeeded in their plan, the big house was only a few yards away. They sprinted one last time and quickly ran behind the building, out of site from the burning cabin and the kids. They took a moment to catch their breath, after which Annabeth walked over and quietly said, "This is Chirons office window." She pointed at the window and we quietly followed and peered through it.

"There she is, there's Clara," whispered the Doctor. She was tied up in a chair, with a centaur in the room.

"So what's the plan?", asked Percy.

"First we wait for Chiron to leave then, she will be guarded," said Annabeth.

"Ok so I guess the plan is to wait, free her, knock out some guards, then run like tartarus."

"That pretty much sums it up," said the Doctor. They waited a few moments and carefully peered through the window to see how things were going. They were hardly able to hear anything through the glass. At one point they saw that Chiron had his sword drawn. Percy saw the Doctor give him a dirty look, ofcourse though he wasnt seen. A few more moments passed and Clara was able to convince him to leave.

"Thats our cue," said Percy. "And here, take this Doctor. You may need it. I already have my own sword." He offered the bronze sword the Doctor found in the cell.

"You kept that thing."

"Yeah, its a perfectly good sword and on this jouney we'll need to be prepared and you can't expect to-"

"If I take it will you shut up. I dont need you to wear down my nerves any more than they already are," the Doctor cutted him off.

"Yes," said Percy with distaste. The Doctor then snatched it up and stuck it in the ground behind him.

"Now can we get on with this. We're wasting time," said Annabeth.

The Doctor didnt reply to what she said, and instead went straight to the window. He tapped on the glass to get her attention and waved.

"Ok now stand back, this glass is going to be all over the place," he said as he gestured for them to stand back. He pulled out the sonic screwdriver again and pointed it at the window. He activated it, then within seconds the glass shattered everywhere. Percy and Annabeth carefully and quickly jumped through the window to swiftly take out the guards when they came.

It only took moments for them to successfully take out the guards, free Clara, and escape through the window. Their journey begins...
