Frank's PoV

Being in the Argo II is a little weird. Not because something was wrong, but it's been a while. After Gaia things just changed. Annabeth and Percy had planned on retiring, but came back after a while. Percy said that camp half-blood was his home no matter what. Annabeth never told anyone why, I think that I was because Percy returned. So I guess the just wanted to be together.

I'm on the deck arms crossed and resting on the railing. looking over the railing and watching the New York was even weirder than being on the Argo II. No one is there. The streets are empty. Not a single soul. There are not any monsters either.

I felt a hand on my shoulder "Is something wrong" I turn my head, and see Hazel standing by my side.

"It's just. Don't you think it's weird? There is nothing to be seen! I thought that it would be a chaos. People running around, panicking. Monsters everywhere." I said waving my hand towards the city below the Argo II. I have this this weird feeling in my stomach, that just tells me something is wrong.

"Yeah you're right. I have never been In New York before, but I thought there'd be more people. My eyes are telling me that everything is peaceful, and that nothing is going to happen, but my brain tells me that something is about to happen. It's like a balloon, I'm just waiting for someone to pop it with a needle" She took my hand.

"HEEEY come on, don't look so sad people, the supreme captain of the Argo II is here to make everyone smile!" Leo appeared by my side, an arm around my shoulder, and grinning like nothing was wrong.

"Leo, how can you be so happy?" I said looking seriously at him. I do not understand how he can be so goofy all the time, where does he get all this energy from.

"because! I totally can't wait to show Calypso aaall the stuff and things there is to see in New York!" He said.

"Leo.. not to ruin the ruin the mood, New York is a little boring when there aren't any people..." We all turned around and saw Percy standing behind us. "HA!" he said pointing his finger at Percy. Percy looked down at Leos finger. I really hadn't noticed earlier, but Percy had really gotten tall. BUT it was kind of to be expected when he is turning 21.

"That just gives me, ONE more reason to do EVERYTHING to get things back to normal." His finger that had previously been pointing ta Percy was now pointing down at New York.

"Leo plea-" Someone said.

"AND when we have gotten things back to normal, I'm gonna show Calypso EVERYTHING!"

"Leo for the love of the go-"

"And NOONE can ruin the mood that was created when Calypso and I was reunited!"

"Leo, shut up!" Piper was standing right beside him. I could see Leo trying to talk, opening his mouth, but with no success. No word came out. After that he just closed his mouth.

"As happy I am that you have found love, it has been over two years since you two got reunited. Besides some people was actually up last night keeping an eye on the ship YOU are 'the supreme commander' of, while you was sleeping"

"Aaaw, sweet Piper always looking after me." Of all the things he could have said, that was what he had decided to say. Piper just looked at him with a blank face. Everything was natural, except from her eyes. It was the if-you-do-not-shut-up-now-i-am-going-to-throw-you-off-this-ship-eyes. Leo quickly saw this and slowly took a few steps away from her. As he was about to stand still, he fell.

The ship was shaking.

Piper rushed to the edge of the ship an looked down "ehm.. guys, you might wanna see this.." she looked at us with terror on her face.

We all went to see what that had made her afraid. I put my hands on the railing and leaned over the edge to look. In the end I wish I hadn't. a big monster, a big BIG monster had taken a hold of the Argo II. It was blue-ish. It was like a giant squid, with a lot of tentacles. The latter was what made the ship shake. The ship was also slowly dropping in height. It was pulling us down.

I had this strange feeling. It made me want to turn around, but my mind told me not to. But slowly I turned around anyway. I looked at the opposite railing on the ship. Something shot up from behind the ship and stood 20 feet over us. After a second I realized it was a tentacle. I wasn't fast enough to react to what I was about to do. With high speed I wrapped around the ship. Crushing the railing and some of the planks that the dock consisted of.

"OH COME ON, I just rebuild that five days ago, what does it take to let a guy enjoy his ship perfectly intact for more than just five days?!" Leo yelled on top of his lungs. He rolled back his arms and shot them forward towards the tentacle. Flames came from his hand and burned the tentacle. A horrid scream erupted from the monster. It drew back its tentacle leaving a crater in the ship.

Dear readers.

I am an idiot. I started this story three years ago and had an idea of how it was going to be. I don't really feel like wanting to continue. I will try BUT only try, so don't get your hopes up. The plot of the story was to make Percy even more of a hero, like. A global hero. Known to humans too. =)
