Hey guys, here is the next chapter, I hope you enjoy ythis, it was pretty fun to write. So now I'm going to answer peoples reviews:

Guest: i really love this story the best one yet keep it up! Thank you, I know a lot of people have told this is a good story, but your the first to tell me that it's the best one. Keep staying awesome... whoever you are! LOL!

jason8926: This chapter was awesome! Keep being genius! I try my best to make the chapters good, so I'm glad that you think they're awesome. And will try to keep my genius streak up!

HyperViper: I really like the story. It was a little crazy at first with all the crying, but I'm warming up to it. Great Work! Yeah... sorry for all the crying. I just figured that because they were all friends, and they were close, that it would be emotional. But I tried to make the reasons they were crying seem real enough, and I think I did a pretty good job. But thank you for liking my story!

XxThisMyFriendIsAPenxX: Important fact, well it's like already too late. But, ah it take nine days to fall into Tartarus/go into. Well. . .it's of no use now. :b Yeah... that is a little too late. But I don't think I probably would've listened to that anyway, I don't think Rick Riordan will. But thank you for the advice.

Captainforkz: It wasn't boring! And let me predict the dream! Tha cruel Fates allow Leo to die, and everyone is sad :( Two chapters in one day! Yay! Um... no, but not entirely wrong, everyone is sad. But I was pretty impressed with the two chapters in one day too!

saltwater10: Another awesome chapter, well done :) Thank you, I try my best.

So, that's all the reviews, now, ON WITH THE STORY!


Nico

Nico could tell that he was in the Argo II. There were seven people standing in front of one of the walls. They were going to be hanging up two bronze plaques, he couldn't read what was written on them. He was able to identify the people, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper... Leo? The other two people he couldn't see because it was dark. The atmosphere on the ship was filled with sorrow, everyone was in mourning, he didn't know why. Hazel stepped forward, and placed on one of the plaques.

"We'll miss you, rest peacefully in Elysium." she whispered something else, probably the name, but he couldn't hear it. Jason stepped forward and he hung up the other one.

"It's gonna be boring, without you here, keeping order." Jason smiled sadly, and went to stand next to Piper. The dream shifted...

Now he was standing at Camp Half-Blood, and campers were having their wounds patched up. The area outside of the camp was covered in soot, broken arrow shafts, and some patches of blood. He could see that all of the warriors were exhausted, the Legion's lines were retreating.

"How many casualties?" Clarisse asked.

"Twenty-three are wounded, about nine Satyrs are dead, along with twelve wounded Hunters." A son of Apollo replied, shaking his head while looking at a clip-board.

"Harvey, is anyone dead?" Clarisse said, asking Harvey, the son of Apollo.

"No, but if we don't get cracking, we may lose six of the wounded." Harvey replied, looking at his shoes.

"Okay, just get them up and about, we need everyone." Clarisse said. The dream shifted once more...

Now Nico was standing in Tartarus, a place he had hoped to never see again. He saw in the distance, Percy and Annabeth hurrying towards him. They seemed to be trying to run from something, he didn't know what it was yet. He could hear a large, long roar, and it was very close.

"We can't outrun it forever." Percy said.

"We can try." Annabeth replied. As they got closer, Nico realized that Percy wasn't wearing a shirt, or rather, it was cut up, and tied into strips covering his back. Annabeth was helping to support him as he was limping, thy were going as fast as they could.

"Look, we're gonna have to fight it, one way or another." Percy said, stopping Annabeth, making her look into his eyes. "We should fight it here."

"Percy," she said, "you aren't fit to fight the Chimera!"

"We have to do it, whether it's here, or at the Doors," he replied, "I'd rather fight it here, then when it has it's friends." Annabeth nodded slowly, and she pulled out her dagger. Percy uncapped riptide, and they turned around. His vision faded to blackness...

Nico woke up, drenched in sweat. What in the name of Hades was that dream about? he rubbed his eyes, and held his head in his hands. He shook his head, and went over to his dresser and got dressed. Someone began knocking on his door, "Yeah?"

"It's me, Jason," the reply came, "We need to discuss some things in the mess, whenever your ready."

"I'm on my way." Nico replied. He pushed the door open, and proceeded to the mess. When he got there, everyone was already sitting at the table, they were all eating cereal. He didn't feel hungry, so he plopped down on the bench, "What's the emergency?"

"Okay, so we all have this question on our minds," Piper started, "What should we expect in the House of Hades."

Nico took a deep breath, "The first room, there is a pressure-plated room, if you step on the wrong plate, you get killed by spikes."

"That sounds lke it will hurt." Frank muttered.

"Yeah, it will." Nico replied, "In the next room, there is a hallway, and it is covered with trip wires," he explained, "if you step on the wire, and twelve pendulum blades will drop."

"Is there anyway past that?" Jason asked.

"Children of Hades, or Pluto, can detect which way is safe."

"Well, that's good." Hazel sighed.

"But we can easily make a mistake, just like anyone else." Nico could see that everyone in the room was tense. "Next, there will be a floor that drops, and we'll be impaled on spikes, but that will only happen if someone steps on the pressure plate."

"Anything else?" Frank muttered/

"No, we just proceed down a hallway, and we'll come to a large room where the Doors of Death are, and then we get Percy and Annabeth out, close the doors, and we go home." Nico decided there was no need to share his dream, at least, until he understood it better.

"You make it sound so simple when you say it that way," Jason spoke up, "but didn't you say that the doors need to be closed from both sides."

Right... almost forgot that part, "How about we cross that bridge when we get there." Nico knew that someone had to sacrifice themselves to close the doors, but he didn't want to think who would do it.

"So, let's just go back, do our own things, and we'll reach Vikos Gorge in several hours." Everyone separated and went there separate ways, except for Hazel.

"Nico, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong, just didn't get good sleep last night." and that's part of the truth.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can always ask me, okay?" she said, obviously not believing him.

"Okay, I will." he replied, and hung his head in his hands. How will Percy and Annabeth fight the Chimera?


BUH, BUH, BUH! Cliffhanger. Okay, so what do you guys think. Was it a little sloppy, was it okay, was it great, you tell me. So I am writing before school, so that's why it may seem a little rushed. But O hope you guys enjoy this, and As Always, Have a Nice Day!
