Yes, I only meant the yet part because I have many ideas, and that may be one of them. But if your worried about Nico, well I only write what I believe will be in the next book.

So that's all the reviews, so I hope you like this chapter, and stay awesome!

Nico

Nico felt horrible that he couldn't help Leo, but he came to terms that it isn't his fault. Leo's in a coma, he's not dead, he constantly reminded himself. It has only been one day since that happened, and everyone looked to him. It felt weird, being the center of attention. He didn't want to be the leader, he never asked for it, but they made him leader anyway. Now I know how Percy must've felt during the war. They looked to him, to lead them to the House of Hades, from there, they would be trying to get to the Doors of Death, and saving Percy and Annabeth.

Nico had no idea why they would look up to him, and not Jason. He couldn't control the ship, his dad was the least favorite god, but that didn't stop them. I think Jason would be a better leader, and he would. Jason had led the attack on Mount Othrys, and had led his whole camp, but they didn't look up to him as the leader. He wished that he had some experience leading people, then this would be easier. Pfft, since when has any war been easy.

"So, where are we headed?" Coach Hedge asked.

"Head to the Vikos Gorge," he replied, "that's where the entrance is."

"You know that's a twenty kilometer area." Hedge replied.

"I know, but I've limited the search are down to five kilometers." Nico said, he had spent the past days and nights, identifying landmarks that he could see through his... jar. He managed to limit the search are to the five kilometers, which should take about two days of searching to cover. The entrance is a large cave, with two Cerberus statues, with green fire for eyes. That should make it a little easier to find.

"Whatever you say." and Coach Hedge steered them in the general direction, "it should take about twelve more hours to reach it." And then they heard a sound that he hoped he would never hear again, metal-wings-flapping.

"Skatá!"(shit!), Nico yelled, "Not again!" he looked over the edge of the railing, and saw from the south-east, were another squadron of metal pigeons. And, they were carrying... Laistrygonian Giants. "Jason! Piper! Hazel! Frank! Get your gaïdoúria up here!" Jason came flying up the stairs, Hazel and Frank were behind him, and thirty seconds later, Piper came. "Grab your weapons, we have GIANTS!" he yelled.

"What! You can't be serious, we can't be that unlucky!" Frank exclaimed.

"I'm sorry princess, but we are that unlucky! Go grab a dagger, or something!" Nico yelled back, and everyone went scrambling down the decks to the armory. Jason came back holding his gladius, Hazel had her spatha, Piper had Katoptris, and Frank had a machaíri. He pulled out his Stygian blade, and they braced themselves for the giants.

"Pfft, it figures we have that much bad luck." Jason muttered.

"Well, at least we're no in Tartarus." Nico muttered back to him. At that moment he could see fout giants, and there are six of them. Coach Hedge was in a batter's position, like he was ready to hit a homer. The Giants landed on the stern, and began charging at them. The giants were wearing some sort of material like iron, and two were holding hammers, while another used a pike, and the other held a double-bladed axe. Jason ran forward, and began fighting one of them with a hammer. Nico ran forward and attacked the one with then axe. Hazel and Frank tag-teamed the one with the pike, and Coach Hedge attacked the last one.

He ducked between the giants legs, and rolled up and stabbed it's back. The giant howled in pain, and whipped around, swinging the axe in wide arc. Nico knelt, and the axe passed an inch above his head. He stabbed straight forward, stabbing the giant in the knee. The giant howled, and fell onto his knees. Nico jumped up, somehow doing a flip in the air, and came up behind the giant, he then cut off the Laistrygonian giants head.

He turned and saw that the other giants had been finished off, and Everyone surrounded the last giant. The giant looked over the railing, smiled, and jumped over. They ran to the railing, and saw the pigeons struggling to carry the last giant away. "Well, talk about being lucky." Hazel huffed.

"I don't understand what the hades just happened." Frank breathed.

"The giant... just got away." Jason said slowly, "I don't understand how that happened."

"Neither do we, but we don't have time to continue thinking bout that." Piper said, "We have more company." and she pointed towards the east, where another squadron of robotic pigeobns were coming from.

"Great, they're Telekhines, and Draecanae." Nico muttered.

"Why can't we get a break," Hazel huffed, "first Gorgons, then Draecanae, and then Laistrygonian Giants, and now Telekhines and Draecanae!"

"I don't know! At least when we kill them, they stay dead!" Nico muttered the last part. "We better get ready, I have a feeling it will be a long battle." And it was, it was a long and grueling fight. There were twelve Telekhines, and and six Draecanae. Everyone had wounds, and it was obvious that there may not be enough ambrosia for everyone. They got all of the major wounds healed, but they still had some left over by the time the ambrosia was used up. Jason had a long cut, starting at his collarbone, and going all the way to the top left of his abs. Nico had a slash across his cheek, and Frank's wound had opened up again. Other then those, everyone else had only minor cuts.

"Well, I pray to the gods that this is our last encounter for the day." Nico stated, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm tired, and I'm going to bed." So he went off to the guest quarters, he called them his, and went to sleep. He had a very troubled dream...

How'd you like it, was it boring, or was it good. Tell me how you feel about it, and don't forget to view my other story "Roman Hero: Unveiling the Unseen"! But stay awesome, and As Always, Have A Nice Day!:))
