Hi guys! I've recently noticed (through email) that I'd been getting a number of follows and favourites. I'd felt HORRIBLE for not being able to update. I've just arrived at Griffith University (I'm in my third week) and the inspiration has finally come back to me! I now believe that I know the direction of this plot line, so I'll be updating as much as I possibly can (but please don't hold all your hopes on me getting things in; I may be good at assessments but I'm not a bona fide author!). I hope you enjoy! Oh, as you'll probably notice I've already, I'm narrating the story through separate points of view. Hope it still sounds good!

Neku: Lunix1412, I've come to a decision

Lunix1412: What?

Neku: Since you have refused to write another Chapter for your kind readers, I have decided to take control and write the story myself

Lunix1412: Really?! That's, cool

Neku: I am now kicking you off that ridiculously comfy chair of yours

Lunix1412: Wait, what?! AAAAHHHH!

Jason: sigh Neku and Lunix1412 do not own any characters from the Heroes of Olympus series and The World Ends with You. Neku's character was created by Square Enix while I was created by Rick Riordan. Now excuse me as I begin cleaning the mess Neku left behind.

NEKU SAKURABA

Everything started going bad when that stupid bear attacked me.

At least, that's what I figured. I was already feeling rotten after my last dream; a woman's garbled and metallic voice telling me to bring a boy named Nico to the Statue of Hachiko. Otherwise I'd lose everything I held dear. What a joke! I couldn't even remember who I was. Don't get me wrong, I knew what any teenager should know in order to keep their dignity but how I learned all that stuff was like studying for a test in a busy street. The harder I tried, the more distracting the noise became. Still, I felt like she knew exactly what I cared about and it was driving me crazy. It didn't make it any easier when Jason called the hooded guy by name.

'Nico?' he had asked.

I froze. The voice in my dream must have known that this Nico character was going to show up soon, but I didn't have the faintest idea that he was going to show up this quickly. In that instant, he ran towards me at full force and I was too stunned to move. With shaky legs I took as many steps back as possible, but I tripped and landed on my backside. Jason was staring at me, eyes widened in shock. Simultaneously, Jason flipped his gold coin again, transforming it into double sided golden sword while Nico unsheathed a jet black sword and jumped into the air. The reality of my situation struck me; Nico was about to kill me and Jason circled away from me like he was in on it! As Nico quickly closed the distance with between me and him, I screamed and tightly shut my eyes but the screech of the passing train overpowered my voice.

That malevolent black bar was inches away from my neck and I was paralysed. The only things I could move were my trembling set of eyes. My assailant's hood had fallen back: black hair on pale skin, and deathly black eyes that weren't focused on me. Surprise overcame shock when I realized that a weak growl was coming from somewhere above my ear. What I found behind me made me scramble away as fast as my gelatinised legs would allow. Nico had stabbed what looked like a gargantuan bear with skeletal claws and legs, saving my life. Adrenaline continued to pump through my system even as the hybrid dissolved into static.

'Don't stare and gawk! Behind you!' Nico yelled.

I spun my head to get a look at what he meant, and I didn't like it one bit. Without me noticing, Jason had gotten behind me, had been fighting an enormous porcupine, and was losing. He'd been parrying the darts that the monster was throwing at me while in my dazed state. My partner was struggling to fight this enemy because the porcupine was tossing razor sharp, skeletal darts at incredible speeds; keeping a great distance between us. Seeing him miss a dart made me gasp; the particular projectile fragmented into six medium sized darts that caught on his clothing and pinned him to the brick wall. Another barrage of darts was sent at Jason's left leg and he screamed. That did it for me. My fists clenched and I stood tall. I motioned Nico to follow me and we ran side by side, dodging the darts sent our way. We'd managed to divert its attention to us rather than Jason, but we had no idea how to get close enough to banish it.

'Pins,' Nico said, grabbing my attention.

'Pins?' I asked. That sounded, familiar. Way too familiar.

'The Reaper's game. It allows people like you to use pins for combat. Aren't there any in your pockets?' he inquired, while still managing to keep a fast running pace.

When he uttered those words, it felt like electricity struck my brain. And it hurt a lot. I knew this! But why couldn't I remember how?! The pain in my skull forced me to a standstill and it soon occurred to me that I was vulnerable. Apparently the porcupine took heed, stopped firing at Nico and sent a volley of darts straight at me. Then just like that, the pain subsided and both my hands sprang in front of me instinctively. Heat surged through me and carried with it a feeling of familiarity. The projectiles never came. They were reduced to ashes. I was too stunned to process what I'd just done; I'd created a wall of dark blue flames.

Jason's eyes had widened while Nico's had narrowed.

'Don't stare and gawk, Nico! Free Jason, I've got this guy.' I exclaimed.

Nico merely nodded and rushed over to Jason's aid. It was now or never. A pulse of vertigo crept into my vision for a split second and I found myself alone with the monster in grey space. Twin daggers of glowing energy were in each of my hands and I had no recollection as to how they'd gotten there. Just like when I'd first met Jason. So I charged, slicing every dart that came at me with ease, coming close enough to try and stab my adversary. I never would've guessed that such a big porcupine could jump out my reach so fast! It literally seemed to jump ten paces away from where I'd slashed my dagger. So it had a few tricks up its sleeves, even without sleeves. Nothing a little fire can't handle. I managed to form a fireball (much like forming a snowball) and tossed it with as much force as I could muster while running. The blasted animal just sent a dart to extinguish my flames! Sending a volley of ten in quick succession didn't help me either; target practice was this monster's specialty it appeared. This thing was born to keep its distance and dodge any attack that it could see coming! How was I supposed to fight it?!

'Wait. What if it couldn't see my attacks coming? What if I could…' I asked myself

I practiced on materializing flames onto my palm and succeeded in forming a pillar, not an easy feat when you have to keep on running. In an instant, I thrust my palms left and right (like trying to bust out of a box) and a circle of flames surrounded me and dart freak. With the continuous burning of my trap, I no longer needed to feed the flames and ran straight out of it; the flames had no effect on me. Even with the porcupine surrounded, I had to act fast; there was no telling when my flame wall would die out. I ran around my circle, re-entered the flame wall and flung one dagger at the creature. It dodged my assault, just like I'd hoped. The evasive manoeuvre placed it dangerously close to my fire wall and it was struggling to keep its balance after such a far jump. And right on cue, I unleashed a pillar of flame from directly beneath it, launching it sky high. It landed upside down and I used my running momentum to send my energy dagger crashing down on its belly. The Noise dispersed into static and faded from existence.

Surprisingly, I wasn't that tired. My partner was safe and I'd survived. It felt like déjà vu all over again. Had I, done this before? It felt so natural. I still had to find out where I was, and more importantly, this Nico character tha-

Something caught my eye. A small form stood out from this grey-space version of the underpass. As I approached warily, my eyes processed red, long flowing hair and a puffy looking cap lay upside down beside her head. She was unconscious, curled up into a ball and had numerous small scratches on her arms and legs. She'd taken a beating from the porcupine no doubt, so it was pure luck that I'd arrived when I did. I intended to wake her up before I automatically returned to where Jason and Nico were, but when I turned her over she already began to stir. Her eye lids struggled to open until she was finally able to shake off her fatigue. When she did seem to focus on my face, she gasped, her eyes grew wide and she was…smiling? I didn't have long to ask why she was so happy because she got up to my level (on her knees) wrapped her arms around my back and locked me into a crushing hug.

'Neku you're here! Thank goodness. I thought I was a goner!' she squealed.

'Can't. breathe,' was all I could muster.

Timing was just perfect wasn't it? During the hug, we'd been transported back to the underpass where Jason and Nico were sitting by a wall. Jason and Nico took one look at us and wolf whistled.

'So not only do you defeat Hard Corehog single handedly…' Nico began.

'But you also manage to grab a girlfriend on the way. Well I guess still waters do run deep, in your case' Jason finished.

With that, they both burst into a fit of laughter. The girl who'd been hugging me had let go and her face had turned a deep hue of red, rivalling her reddish-brown hair. I wasn't spared either; my face was as pink as bubble gum and slightly purple because I'd just been given the chance to breathe again. When I'd recovered I found soft, brown eyes gazing at me. The feeling made me nostalgic. Where had I seen those eyes before? Who was this girl?

For any serious TWEWY fans (LIKE ME!), the identity of this cheerful girl shouldn't be a mystery. I hope I lived up to your expectations! Drop a review if you want something in particular to be added in my story. I will seriously consider any ideas since you have been kind enough to read my stories ^^

AND that's chapter five! I'm sorry if it sounds really slow. I'm taking advice from the creator of the 'Halberd' series, in that I should make my story more descriptive since it's been too fast paced. Until next time!
