Hey guys, so I was bored, and I decided to write another chapter! Two chapters in one day! YAY! I swear, this time, nobody gets seriously hurt. I know I lied last chapter, but this time I'm serious! So, I will be replying to reviews now!

Don't touch my Seaweed Brain: Oh my gods. Another amazing chapter. The fates really really hate Percy. Or they enjoy having a puppet. Update! Yes, apparently the fates hate Percy. Nah, I actually just felt like giving a lot of heart-breaking moments. And here is the update!

Captainforkz: Argg why must you lie to us? I liked the chapter, and if Percy dies I shall be sad. Don't kill him! You know... just because you don't want me to, I may. I actually have been thinking of killing him. I want everyone to tell me what you think of that!

Ms. Anti siren: Great story, please continue as fast as possible, and I don't mean to be a grinch about things, but I think that this story is a little bit repeatative in the area of Percy getting hurt, he's been the only one getting hurt so far in Tartarus, and I think that they are crying a little bit too much, other than that great story, love it, and peace out yo! :D Ummm... I don't know whether to consider this a 'Good Work' or a flame. So I am not going to respond much... sorry:(

AnnabethPercyJackson17: Awwwww Percy knows he could be the one that dies and closes the doors from the other side. :( As I said to Captainforkz, I may, or I may not. I want to hear opinions! Tell me what you guys think I should do, by the way, I already have Nico's fate determined... and you will be shocked!

chewie7876: i LIKE it when percy gets hurt and anabeth is worried
keep it up! HAHAHAHAHA! You know, Percy must appreciate what you said, about how you love that he keeps getting hurt! But thank you, I try hard with those chapters.

Guest 24424: OMG! You should post more! Best House of Hades fanfic ever! You get a cookie! (::) Thank you! I like this comment! You see, if you leave me nice comments, I will update faster, keep that in mind... But thank you! I love cookies!

Okay, so that's all the reviews. I must say, I am happier with these reviews! Please, keep reviewing, and if you leave nice reviews, I will try to update faster! ON WITH THE STORY!:

Nico

They quickly ran past the entrance, after they finished the remaining monsters off. Nico had the vaguest feeling that this would be the last time he was outside, but he brushed the thought off. They were proceeding down a long, stoney corridor, and just a hundred yards down, the entrance to the first room. The entrance was flanked by two statues of Medusa, just as evil looking, but made of stone. The door only opened if you knew the phrase, and Nico had memorized it. They came to the doors, and the Medusa statues glared at them with green-fire eyes.

Nico took a breath, and stepped forward, but Frank asked, "Do you know how to open it?"

"Yes, I give the phrase, and the magical doors open." Nico replied.

"But what if the phrase is wrong?" Jason asked this time.

"Well then I get big spike impaled through myself, or, a thousand bullets shoot at me." Nico snapped.

"You don't know what'll happen, do you?" Jason stated.

"Absolutely no clue, that's why it's called 'Winging It'!" Nico said. He took a deep breath, and began saying the pass phrase: "Proséf̱chomai na eísai , o árchontas to̱n nekró̱n , mas kaloún na eiságete sou naó , ópou boroúme na vroúme thanátous ankaliásei" ("I pray to thou, the lord of the dead, bid us enter thee temple, where we may find deaths embrace.") The statues of Medusas heads turned and faced him, and an ancient voice replied: "Emeís chairetízoume ti̱n prosforá sou , kai na vreíte af̱tó pou esý epidió̱xei" ("We bid thee welcome, and may you find what thou seek.") And then the doors opened, and large gust of air swooshed through everyone, making hair stand on end.

They walked through the doors, and came onto a terrace. They were now over-looking a 30-feet by 20-feet room. It was completely covered with 600 pannels, and only 58 were safe. Only children of Hades/Pluto could detect the way, anyone else will be killed by large bullets. "Uh, Nico?" Jason asked.

"Yes?" Nico replied.

"Are they all bobby-trapped?" Frank spoke up.

"Only 58 of them are safe," Nico started, "And only children of Hades or Pluto can find the right path."

"What happens if we take one bad step?" Jason asked.

"You die." Nico said plainly.

"Well thanks Lieutenant Cheerful." Frank muttered.

"I actually prefer Sergeant Daft, but thank you." Nico retorted. He looked around and saw everyone chuckling, pfft, they don't understand. He took a deep breath, and went to the first plate, it stayed solid. Through his eyes, he could see the correct plates as venom-green, and the wrong ones as tomato-red, there were a lot of red ones. He was carefully walking, little-by-little, baby-steps. When he got to the sixteenth plate, he signaled for everyone else to follow him. "Make sure you step where I step, and don't so much as breathe on any of the others!"

That's how they made their progress, slowly, person-by-person, getting to the otherside. When he got to plate number 50, he heard the sound of a plate sinking, someone had stepped on the wrong plate. Nico whirled around, expecting to have to yell at Frank, but instead, he saw Piper. He saw Jason's face, it was one of sheer horror. He quickly manipulated the shadows, and created a shield around Piper, just when the bullets flew at her, all that, happened in a few milliseconds. "RUN!" he yelled, "Bullets will start flying everywhere! Forget the path, just run to the exit!" That's when everyone started running like madmen. Bullets were streaming overhead, one grazed his shoulder, but he ignored it as he sprinted. He got to the exit and looked behind himself.

Nico saw that everyone was nearly across, Piper was still running as fast as she could. She lunged at the exit, just when several spikes sealed off the room, she made it just in time. "I said," Nico growled, "'Don't so much as breathe on a different plate'!"

"I'm sorry!" Piper cried, shaken from her close-to-death experience, "I stumbled, and hit one of the other plates!" Piper started crying now, and Nico felt horrible for yelling at her now. It wasn't really her fault, he was just terrified at how close they came to dying. He felt weak on his knees, and was forced to kneel. He looked at his shoulder, and saw the blood welling up. Gods, it's the skylos poison! He knew what it was, that was nothing lethal, for the moment. He wuickly used shadows to cover up the wound, to keep it concealed from everyone else.

"Piper, I'm sorry," Nico said in a soft voice, "I didn't mean to get angry." she just nodded at him, and Jason looked at him, thanking him silently. They were going to need a new exit at this point, but that was a bridge to cross when they get there, for now, it was getting through the House of Hades. This was no easy task, and the second room will be even greater. Next room, was the pendulum room. A room, where trip-wires were everywhere, and if you tripped one, huge pendulums came out of the walls. After that, was the false-floor room, where one plate, just one, and if anyone stepped on it, the entire floor collapsed leading to huge spikes. Then at long last, they would reach the Doors of Death, and save Percy and Annabeth...

See, I didn't lie this time! I told the truth, no one was mortally wounded. But seriously, if you leave reviews, nice ones, I will update faster! Until next time! And As Always, Have A Nice Day!
