Chapter 10:Here Kitty, Kitty

STORY START
the day went by fin e they had found the owner of Gladiola, a kind old lady who gave them their payment and a little extra.

"Well at least she gave extra" Grover commented as they had finally gotten their tickets and were now on their way towards the train.

"I agree it will be useful in acquiring some more necessary items for our quest." Naruto agreed whole heartedly having money was a big help in quests.

"Well come on guys we'll miss the train" Annabeth yelled as she broke into a run towards an open space which was right before the train station proper where passengers board.

Seeing this they broke into a run as well only to stop when they saw her stop just in fron of them looking at the open space.

"Hey Annabeth what's wrong?" Percy asked as they neared her.

"Ne-Nemean lion" Annabeth said shakily as she looked at the biggest lion you would ever see it was easily as tall as a truck.

"Whoa hey guys let's find another way around" Grover said as he backed away in fear of the lion.

As far as anyone knew it only died once and at the hands of Herakles who had strangled it to death.

"No time we best face it now before we miss our train." Naruto said as he advanced forward.

"Are you crazy we can't beat that thing." Annabeth said she couldn't believe that anyone would willingly fight the Nemean lion.

"Are you sure?" Naruto said challengingly.

And as he did golden portals appeared around the Nemean lion surrounding it. And by that point chains came out from the portals binding the Nemean lion.

And as Percy, Annabeth and Grover watched they saw that the Nemean lion struggled to even get up let alone move it was totally bound and could not move much at all.

Moving towards the Nemean lion a portal appeared just above Naruto's shoulder with a hilt sticking out of it, it was colored red.

Pulling it out it turned out to be the shaft of a spear colored like the shaft it was a bloody red in color.

Twirling it around in his hand it gained a few sparks which flew of the spear blade and strangely enough it was blood red in color as well.

"It's your end beast Gae Bolg!" Naruto shouted out the name of his weapon as he thrust it at the ground only for it to rebound and thrust the lion exactly where it's heart was from the underside of its belly meaning that it pierced through the soft skin.

As the lion dissolved into golden dust Naruto dissolved his spear in a flash of golden light and he turned to face his companions. He was greeted with the slack jawed looks of the three mixed with awe and amazement.

"H-how did you" Annabeth stuttered out unable to comprehend what just happened the Nemean lion was one of the toughest monsters there was which took Herakles a while to defeat and here Naruto was standing without a sweat as he defeated the Nemean lion like it was an ordinary monster.

"Whoa that was so cool" Percy and Grover shouted out as they saw what Naruto just did earning them a chuckle from Naruto who picked up the vest left by the Nemean lion and replaced it in his pocket dimension.

"Well come along I doubt we will make our train if we stand here with your mouths open like that" Naruto said humorously as he headed for the train followed by a still dazed Annabeth and a ecstatic Grover and Percy if they had him here the quest was going to be a piece of cake.

(On Board The Train)

Naruto was busy looking at the scenery from his carriage window. It was after all his first train ride and he wanted to make the most out of it.

"Um hey Naruto can you answer a question of mine" Annabeth asked getting Naruto's attention.

"Sure what do you want to know" Naruto obliged her.

"How did you do that and what was that weapon?" Annabeth asked getting Grover who was awake to listen as well to the blonde's conversation. Percy on the other hand was already fast asleep and drooling on the armrest he was leaning on.

"Oh you mean the chains right?" Naruto confirmed receiving a nod.

"Well those were a gift to me by my mother Hecate the chains of the ancient king Gilgamesh which she uses as well from time to time. Both me and my mother are the only ones who can use it properly for now due to our magic reserves. Its name is Enkidu: the chains of heaven named after Gilgamesh's only friend in life the chains themselves can bind anything even gods the more connections to the divine you have the more impossible it is to escape. The chains themselves are a part of my pocket dimension which my mother told me to call it the gate of Babylon in honor of the king. It is the second of my three main tresures." Naruto said which amazed Annabeth chains that can bind anything the more divine? So it would mean gods themselves could never escape on their own.

"And that spear you used to kill him?" Annabeth asked once more.

"Oh that one is a spear I got from my travels to Ireland its name is Gae bolg the legendary spear wielded by Cu Chulainn of Ireland the spear was enchanted by a powerfull witch to always pierce the heart of an enemy I keep this in my first great treasure the Gate of Babylon. I got it from the clan McRemitz come to think about it I have to fetch the clan heads daughter to join me in my travels as I promised." Naruto said.

"Gate of Babylon?" Annabeth questioned.

"Yes it is a pocket dimension I use to keep all of my treasures" Naruto explained making Annabeth jealous at having an infinite storage space that is portable for its user than a thought came to Annabeth.

"Wait you can travel around?" Annabeth said taking notice.

"Yeah of course I can travel around my mom is the goddess of crossroads so I can travel wherever I want." Naruto said proudly his birth mom was awesome it allowed him to leave the influence of the gods and travel around.

"Wow that must be nice visiting other countries" Annabeth said happily.

"Yeah thanks to our mother being the same I also gained an appreciation for architecture as well so if you want I can take you with me if Lady Athena allows it" Naruto offered kindly.

"Thank you" Annabeth said as she hugged Naruto in gratitude she had always wanted to travel abroad.

"Yeah it's no problem at all now let me be I want to enjoy my time on this train" Naruto said as he went back to watching the window.

"It's really your first time huh?" Grover asked.

"What do you mean Grover?" Annabeth asked the satyr.

"Oh Naruto said it was is first time riding a train or something" Grover said offhandedly answering Annabeths question.

"What we can't have that come on Naruto we have to explore everything then" Annabeth said sternly surprising Naruto as she dragged him of to explore the different compartments of the train.

(Up On Olympus)

The four goddess Hecate, Hestia, Artemis, and Athena were watching happily as they watched Naruto and Annabeth explore the train via iris message.

"So it's really his first time to ride a train huh?" Athena noted.

"Yeah he usually uses the Vimana when he goes abroad" Hecate said weighing in.

"Yeah even when he's with my hunters they usually ride in a car we have yet to take a train anywhere." Artemis said as well.

"I see well then at least he gets to experience it for now while he can" Hestia said with a smile on her face.

"Indeed well let's get back to work before my brother notices us slacking off" Hestia says as she vanishes in a burst of flames followed by the other three goddesses in their own respect element.

(Back On The Train)

"And that brings us to the end of our tour" Annabeth said sounding like a tour guide as she led him throughout the train and its compartments.

"Well as unnecessary as that was thank you for the tour Annabeth I appreciated it" Naruto said with a soft smile on his face making Annabeth smile in return happy she was able to please her older sibling.

As the two approached Percy and Grover they could see that the two were in a deep discussion about something.

"Hey what are you guys talking about?" Naruto asked as he neared the two boys.

"Oh nothing just explaining to Percy a few things" Grover said a bit nervously.

"I see well then would any of you like something to eat?" Naruto said in a kind voice.

"Uh yeah some snacks would be nice" Percy said humbly getting nods from the other two as well.

"I see well then please sit back and enjoy the ride" Naruto said as he made tem a bucket of popcorn each which they happily took and enjoyed the rest of the train ride.

When we got off the train we immediately went towards the city square where there was a whole lot of people which unnerved Naruto greatly.

"What's wrong Naruto?" Annabeth asked noticing his nervousness.

"Oh it's nothing I just hate crowds." Naruto answered getting a nod from Annabeth who understood that his childhood trauma still affected him somewhat.

Percy on the other hand seemed nervous as he just saw on the television Gabe Ugalino offer a reward for the capture of Percy and the return of his Camaro and Sally. Needless to say this pissed of Naruto and saddened Percy.

"Don't worry you won't have to live with him after this" Naruto said reassuringly calming Percy down a bit.

"Thanks man" Percy said.

"Don't worry too much seaweed brain humans can never find us" Annabeth said as she comforted and insulted him at the same time.

"OH look the Arch could we go there please?" Annabeth said as she noticed the arch which was a feet of engineering Naruto could not bring himself to say no to her pleading face.

"Oh alright let's just make it quick alright?" Naruto said authoritatively.

Getting an excited nod for his answer Annabeth proceeded to drag him towards the arch with Grover and Percy struggling to keep up with her pace of walking in the tight space they were given wit the crowd.

"Hey Annabeth you might want to slow down a bit it isn't going anywhere" Naruto said right before he noticed a strange smell from the crowd.

Ignoring it for now Annabeth, Grover and Percy got on the elevator with a strange woman with a Chihuahua leaving Narutop up above by accident.

"Come on baby just calm down a bit you will get to eat soon enough" the woman said calming the dog a bit.

"Is everything alright ma'am?" Grover asked in concern.

"Yes it's alright he's just hungry for food" the woman said while looking at Grover, Percy and Annabeth.

"Yes Chimera will be very happy to eat you three" the woman said strangely.

"Umm Ma'am did you just call that dog Chimera?" Grover noted.

"Why yes for I am the mother of all monsters Echidna" the woman said as she shed her human guise in favor of her monstrous form.

"It is rare for Zeus to allow me to test a demigod you know so have at you!" Echidna said as both she and the Chihuahua now turned Chimera lunged at the demigod trio.

"Well this is some mess you got yourselves into" Naruto said as he rescued the three demigods from certain death by capturing Echidna and Chimera in chains.

"Naruto! Thank the gods you're here!" Annabeth said along with Percy and Grover.

"Hmph this should teach you guys not to get separated from each other during a quest." Naruto said as he opened up the Gate of Babylon behind him aiming all of its contents at Echidna and the Chimera.

"Any last words beast?" Naruto asked Echidna.

"Die you half-blooded scum" Echidna roared out.

"Very well the king has judged you guilty and the sentence is death" Naruto said sternly as the swords started to fire at Echidna and the Chimera who could do nothing to dodge or block the attack.

But before the Chimera faded it managed to sting its snake like tail at Percy knocking him into a well which led to a stream below.

"Percy!" Annabeth and Grover yelled in concern.

"It will be fine Percy will survive Poseidon will not let his son die in a body of water" Naruto said as he picked up the spoils of war a bottle of poison from the Chimera and a sharp scale from Echidna.

"So what do we do?" Grover asked Naruto.

"We wait for him to surface" Naruto said as he sat down on an undamaged bench to wait for Percy followed by Annabeth and Grover.
