Okay, so here is the new update! This is Nicos p.o.v! Next chapter will most likely be in Annabeths p.o.v! So I hope you enjoyed this, and now, time to answer reviews!

7NationArmy: Omg! My parents now think I am a weirdo because every time you update I squeel all fangirly and at certain moment during the chapters I start commenting aloud. I love this fanfiction! It is my favorite fanfiction of the PJO ones! Thank you! Seriously, this means a lot! And I actually try to update once a day, the only reason I don't is if I'm exhausted. But I will try to keep doing great! Thank you for the support!

Thalia Bolt: You're killing me TDog! Geez, I'm having a heart attack! Keep writing! Well, I'm sorry. I will try not to give you anymore heart attacks, but no promises. Anyways, I think everyone will be shocked on Chapter 23*SPOILER*! Just telling you so you can have the heart attack already...

Captainforkz: That was awesome. I loved the detail in the chapter and the Star Wars reference (that was a Star Wars reference, right?) Yes, that was a star wars reference. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! I was trying to think of weird hallucinations, and that came up! But I hope everyone likes this chapter!

Don't touch my Seaweed Brain: Amazing as always! I didn't expect u 2 update that fast, but yay! You should be scared of my donut army. But I really really like this story. I got bullied when I was 10 to. It took me a while 2 get over it. :(. But I will support this story in any way I can. Good luck with the next chapter! Yeah, it's been five years since I was bullied, and I'm still not over it. But thank you!

Okay, now I'm serious, please leave a review and favorite(if you can), or just the review! Your reviews make me feel happy, so please leave reviews! Now, ON WITH THE STORY!:

Nico

After the close-call with the first room, and after Piper calmed down, they proceeded down the corridor. Nico slowed down so he could speak with Hazel, "Hey." he started.

"Hi Nico." she replied.

"I need to tell you something." Nico said plainly, almost tempted to tell her of his wound.

"What is it? Is it about Percy and Annabeth?" she asked, curious.

"No, it's about the other entrances, to the other rooms." Nico replied, "I don't know why I didn't tell you sooner, but I should tell you now."

"What do you mean?" she asked, going all serious.

"Listen, after this door," Nico took a deep breath, "if anything should happen to me, I want to tell you the pass phrase to the last door." he felt uneasy, he felt paranoid, he felt like something would happen to him. And this, this was his best precaution against anything.

"Nico, what do you mean? Nothing's going to happen to you, okay?" she said, worry flooding her expression.

"This is a precaution, in case anything happens." Nico explained, "I want to make sure everyone will make it safely." Hazel nodded in understanding.

"What's the pass phrase then?" she asked, her voice sounding constricted.

"Say this in Latin: To the lord of death, eternal master of shadow, we pray that thee allow us to enter, and seek what is sought."

Hazel tooka deep breath and said, "Domino morte eterna domino umbra tui oramus ut nobis liceat ingredi quaeritur et quaerendum."

"Good, now remember that, it will help you at the third entrance, should anything happen to me." he said, and proceeded to the front. It felt weird, telling someone the pass phrase, but you should always have a back up plan. Nico could now see the entrance, this time, they were flanked by stone Telekhines. These Telekhines snouts were drawn back in snarls, and their eyes glowed green-fire. He took a breath, and said the second pass phrase, "Árchontas to̱n skió̱n , epidió̱koume eísodo , kai proséf̱chontai sou tha mas vreíte axízei , kai tha férei kamía dokimí̱ nomízo̱ esý na mas dó̱sei , o skoúra." ("Lord of shadows, we seek entrance, and pray thee find us worthy, and will bear any test thou think to give us, o dark one.")

The stone Telekhines turned and a dark, deep voice boomed, "Emeís prosforá sou archízei , kai boreí na sou perásei tis dokimés sou." ("We bid thee enter, and may thou pass thy tests.") And the doors did a 360 degree turn, and slid open. It was a narrow room, and it looked like a simple corridor, but that was the trap. There were invisible trip-wires that only children of Hades or Pluto, again, can only see. The could make the wires visible to everyone, if they new the code: Hades.

"Hades." Nico whispered, and green lines could be seen everywhere, only a small hole wasn't covered. It seemed impossible, but a few of those wires were fakes, meaning if you stepped on them, nothing happened, those were blue. Everyone stared in awe, the beautiful lines, though they are pretty, are very dangerous.

"So this is what you guys see?" Jason asked, awe filled his voice.

"Yeah, I see these everywhere, the blue ones are safe, green are not." Nico spoke plainly. "Jason, you have it simple, you can just fly through the hole."

"I can, but I'm not leaving Piper." Jason said with finality.

"Good, we could use someone to watch that clutz." Nico muttered quietly. "Let's get going, Hazel, you first." Hazel looked at him like he grew a second head. "Your the only one other then me who knows the third pass phrase, I'd prefer if you at least make it." Hazel nodded slowly, but he could see the anxiety clearly in her eyes. "Frank will go next, then Piper, Jason, Coach Hedge, and I'll take up the rear." Everyone looked at each other nervously, and Hazel gave Frank a quick kiss, which left Nico glaring at Frank, since she was his little sister.

Hazel took a large stepover the wires, and placed her foot between a few, and she kept doing so. When she was a quarter of the way through, Nico signaled for Frank to go. Frank had difficulty, and nearly tripped several wires, the armed ones, not the fake ones, but he finally found his balance and proceeded, this cycle repeated. When it came to his turn, Hazel and Frank were safely on the otherside, and Piper almost made it, Jason was just behind her. Coach Hedge kept grumbling about being short, and why he couldn't just clear a way with his bat. Nic kept moving, making sure not to step on any wires, he got half-way through when Coach Hedge yelled, "OH STYX!" he had tripped an armed wire. Nico immediately dove to the ground, and Coach hedge had leaped to the safe side. Jason had started flying, and he picked up Piper. That left Nico, right in the middle of all those swinging pendulums.

"I SAID TO BE CAREFUL!" Nico screamed at Coach Hedge. He replied with something, but Nico wasn't paying attention, he was busy playing Dodge-the-Swinging-Blades! He sprinted, and stopped, just as one of the blades came whooshing in front of him. A blade from behind hit his sword, jerking him, and breaking the sword. GAAAAHHH! he screamed in his head, and he might've out loud. Dad's gonna be pissed! STYX! STYX! STYX! he cursed in his mind. He waited, and ran through a gap, making it to the other side. He was about to congradulate himself, when he noticed that his side was bleeding heavily. "Oh gamo(fuck)." he said before nearly collapsing. Hazel had surged forward and caught him.

"Quick, some Ambrosia!" she yelled. Coach Hedge tossed her a canteen, and she put it to Nico's lips. He drank a couple gulps before stopping, and the burning in his side and shoulder disappeared. "Your okay!" she yelled, crying.

"I know, I'm happy too, I didn't want to die!" he replied semi-sarcastically. He stood up, brushed the dust off his vambraces, and said, "Let's get going, shall we? I'd prefer to get the near-dying over with, don't you?" and they proceeded towards the third entrance, where Nico could feel an ominous feeling growing in his stomach...

Alrighty, sorry for almost making Nico die! And I also broke his Stygian Iron blade, I couldn't help it! Okay, so next chapter will be Annabeth's p.o.v, I made up my mind! So, please tell me what you think of this chapter, And As Always, Have A Nice Day!
