Hey guys, sorry for not updating in the past few days, but here's the new chapter! Sorry if this seems more like a filler, but I tried. And sorry, but I'm not answering reviews right now, there are too many! And now, I want to say, that later today I may be able to get a review in, and I want to finish the story by Christmas! So, without further ado, here is the update!

Annabeth

"I will." a voice sounded from behind them. They all turned around to see Coach Hedge, who'd apparently listened to their whole conversation. He had his bat hoisted onto one shoulder, and he looked ready for anything. Annabeth couldn't help but feel a little sad, sad that he had volunteered to do it.

"But, why?" Jason asked, stunned.

"Well, unless you want to do it, I figured your all needed for that mumbo-jumbo prophecy." he explained.

"We can't ask you to do this." Piper said, "what will my dad say?"

"Tell him that I died protecting you, or tell him I went to take a bath and drowned, you decide." Coach Hedge replied, "But I want you to tell Mellie," he started choking up a little, tears brimming his eyes, "tell her I was a hero, a hero to be proud of." Coach Hedge was completely determined at this point, and when he was determined, you'd have better luck moving Mount Everest.

"We can't let you." Piper said firmly.

"I actually have a score to settle with these beasties." Coach Hedge said grinning. "And besides, you're all needed, I'm not." Coach Hedge said with finality.

"Okay, Piper." Annabeth spoke up now, tired of the arguement, and more worried about the unconcious Percy, "You're not going to change his mind, he's determined." Piper opened her mouth to argue, but Annabeth wasn't done, "The more you argue with him, the harder this will be for him." and Piper shut right up, she turned and looked at Coach Hedge.

"I'll tell Mellie you were a hero, to the end."

"Aye, and that what I'll be." Coach Hedge said, he walked throguh the doors. Fifteen seconds later he shouted, "How do I close it from back here?"

"There is a button on the wall, you should see it." Annabeth shouted.

"Is it the big red button that says, push to close?" Coach Hedge yelled back.

"Yes, the big red button." Annabeth replied exhasperated.

"Aren't you not supposed to push the 'Big Red Button'?" Frank asked.

"Aren't you not supposed to step on the 'pressure-plate'!" Coach Hedge retorted.

"Touche." Frank grumbled.

"Okay, we're going to have to push them at the same time." Annabeth yelled, already standing at our side of the door, "On the count of three!" she yelled.

"Can't we just do it now!?" Cach Hedge yelled.

"ONE! TWO! THREE!" Annabeth shouted. She pushed the big red button, and at the same time, there was a click from the otherside. A large whoosh of air passed through, and it nearly blew them all over. She ran to the door, and saw Coach Hedge doing a salute, raising his bat in the air. She saw a legion of monsters heading for the doors.

"FOR PAN!" Coach Hedge roared, and he charged at the monsters, and the doors swung shut. Annabeths heart felt heavy, heavy because she had sentenced Coach Hedge to certain death. She felt her eyes getting misty, and wiped them away. Percy then started coughing, so she turned towards him. He was trying to get up.

"Percy, what do you think your doing!?" She demanded.

"Standing, I have, one Hades of a headache!" Percy groaned.

"That won't make you feel any better." she stated.

"Okay, but I'll feel a little bit useful." Percy said rising to his feet. "Hey, my legs not broken! I'm not bleeding anymore, but I have big ugly scars now." he said, noticing all those things at once. Percy untied his ripped up Camp Half-Blood t-shirt from around his body. He then wrapped them around his hands. Annabeth couldn't help but notice how muscular he was, and she blushed a bit. Percy noticed, and he grinned. She walked up to him, and kissed him. Finally, at long last, they weren't in any danger anymore. Percy was finally no longer in pain, he was able to be at peace, they both were.

"I love you Wise Girl." he said into their kiss, smiling.

"I love you too Seaweed Brain." she said, and now they were both smiling. They stopped kissing when Frank cleared his throat.

"You guys can finish this on the boat, that way more people aren't watching." Frank said smirking.

"Speaking of the boat, did Nico stay on the boat?" Percy asked. Annabeth sighed, she new this would be hard for Percy.

"Percy, we need to tell you something..." and she told Percy about Nico. Percy had tears in his eyes by the time the story was done.

"Okay,at least he's probably in Elysium, Hades would've made sure of that." Percy said, his voice shaking. Annabeth hugged him closer, wrapping her arms around him. Percy wrapped his arms around her shoulder, and he kissed her head. "So one question." Percy asked.

"What is it?" Jason replied.

"How are we getting out of here?" Percy asked. His question was answered when the ceiling of the room blew up, large rocks crashing down. And the Argo II came flying in. I thought they said there was no one else? She was about to ask who was piloting, but the question was answered when a boy became visible. He was fidgety, he had curly black hair, and his mischievous smile on his face. It was Leo Valdez.

Okay, like I said, sorry if it is short, but I tried. Also, tell me how you think Mellie should react. I don't know how to make her react! Anyway, I want to ask you something about Jacob, the main character from my Northern Heroes story: Who is his godly parent? Here's some hints:

Jacob has blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes.

Jacob loves to be in the air.

When Jacob is angry, storms brew. When he is sad, it rains.

So I want you to tell me who his godly parent is! One hint, it's a Norse God...
