Alright guys this chapter reveals a OC who are important the the story and one is one of the few good people Nico likes. Now to make a few things clear I will not be throwing random OC's all over the place only those needed for the story also Nico WILL be gay as is needed for the story. I will not change it nor will I pair him with a boy *Not Will or Percy etc etc* as Nico will be pairless through the entire story. Now to talk about certain details about the story. Percy plays a important role within the story and many chapters focus on him. I also dislike Bianca Di Angelo immensely don't get me wrong I like her as a character but her choices in the series made me dislike her immensely so there will be some Bianca bashing in this story. DISCLAIMER! oh DISCLAIMER how I love you so for you keep the lawyers and haters at bay DISCLAIMER! I don't own PJO or any other type of movie, book, show.

Chapter 4. Old Friends and A Mission

Hades and many of the demigods up front were truly wondering who this man that Nico trusted more than his sister was and how this man would get them a meeting with the Chancellor. Zeus opened the book and began to read.

Chapter 4. The Senator and The Mission

Nico entered the room and saw the decorations statues of old Greek and Roman art of something ancient that Nico could not tell what they represented. The banners of his friends state representation and his own symbol a star within a drachma.

"Interesting symbol. It must represent his love for the Golden Age of demigods." said Athena.

While he was looking at the luxury apartment he never noticed his old friend walking into the room.

"Nico my boy how good to see you." said the man.

The whole throne room leaned forward in anticipation to learn the identity of the man Nico trusted with his secrets. Hazel, Bianca and Hades had personal interest in this as they wanted to know the man who Nico trusted even more than them.

Nico turned to his old friend and gave a small smile. "Senator Dagon." Nico said with a curt bow.

Senator Drake Dagon was a old demigod a Son of Victoria and Descendent of Trivia and a former scholar. Dagon was around 77 years old with white grey hair that covered the top of his head and small parts of his sides. He had pale white skin and kind gentle brown eyes. He was around the height of Kai and was pretty muscular for an old guy. He became a Senator before Nico even knew of Camp Jupiter and he was the Senator of the settlement area of Nara. Dagon even in his prime years as a demigod never truly fought in the Legion instead was a scholar and researcher and was highly respected by the other scholars and researchers and was still a formidably warrior tho he used tricks and speech rather than violence. Dagon wore his traditional red Senator robes and had fancy jewelry his robes. He had some wrinkles on his face but he still looked no older than 70. He had perfect white teeth and was very loyal to the settlement he represented.

The hall was quite as people processed these words. The Greeks knew not of this person but the gods did and so did many Romans. "I have heard of Senator Dagon he is one of Nico's allies in the Senate I never knew they had this kind of relationship." said Hazel.

"I have met with Senator Dagon many times the description is accurate." said Reyna.

Bianca felt a bit happy and sad at the same time. On one hand she was glad Nico had someone he could talk to about his secrets but at the exact same time she was disappointed he couldn't discuss it with Hazel or Percy or a other demigod.

Hades however frowned when Dagon's name was mentioned. Something about him calling Nico 'his boy' didn't sound right. Nico was HIS boy not Dagon's.

"I respect Dagon in the Senate he is a natural leader and a good man." said Athena. Demeter nodded her head liking said Senator for he was always so kind to the younger demigods.

"I met him once. He seemed nice enough." said Percy with a shrug. He still felt bad that Nico trusted this man who he met AFTER Percy over him.

Zeus cleared his throat and everyone went silent as he continued to read.

Nico had met the Senator the day he walked into Camp Jupiter with Hazel and immediately the two hit it off. Nico grew to trust Dagon really fast especially when Dagon revealed that he too had secrets. Secrets much like his own. Nico grew to see Dagon as a grandfatherly figure and Dagon grew to see Nico as a grandson of sorts.

This caused many of the demigods up front to smile a bit. Hazel was glad that Nico found someone to look up too while Hades frowned that Nico trusted this man more than him.

"Well at least he has a good role model." said Reyna nodding her head.

Zeus continued reading.

"So my boy what brings you here?" asked Senator Dagon.

"I am afraid Senator its not merely a friendly visit. I am sure you have heard of the blockade on Nara your representation in the Senate." said Nico.

Senator Dagon's eyes darkened at that. "Unfortunately yes I have. The Silver-Blood Corporation a business focused solely on taxes and trades but also has its own supply of mechanical robot guards. I have had dealings with them before, their representation in the Senate is Senator Thonar a ruthless politician and schemer while the current owner of the entire corporation is President Cinder Dreg." said Senator Dagon.

"I know Thonar he is a ruthless Senator caring for little but his wealth and successful business moves." said Reyna with distaste.

"I have also heard of Cinder Dreg he is a spineless coward who cares only for his money and life." said Jason with a scowl.

This caused many of the Romans and Greeks to murmur about said people and Zeus cleared his throat and was aloud to continue reading.

"I have met Senator Thonar during many Senate debates not a nice guy." said Nico.

"Yes Thonar comes from a well known Roman family he cares little for the Greeks and only truly cares about himself and his money." said Senator Dagon.

"I have heard from others that the description you give is acturate." said Nico.a

"However Cinder is a coward and usually tries to avoid any kind of conflict especially when it involves the Senate." said Senator Dagon.

"He is right Cinder IS a coward so this move of his is most unlike him." said Reyna with a frown.

As the demigods on both sides tried to figure out why such a coward would make such a daring move Zeus *getting annoyed at interruptions* continued to read.

"That does seem odd that he would make such a move." said Nico with a frown.

"Thats what I have been trying to figure out but the blasted Senate is in a uproar over this and everyone is demanding something be done but many are to busy fighting each other to actually send someone out there." said Senator Dagon with a frown.

"Thats actually why I am here Senator. The council has asked me to ask you if you could get Master Jinn a meeting with Chancellor Johnson." Nico said.

Nico felt horrible asking such a thing from his old mentor but the man merely gave a small smile.

"Not to worry my boy I would gladly do that if it means someone will go and help my settlement." said Senator Dagon.

"Wow this old man is REALLY nice." said a young Son of Hermes.

"Yeah Senator Dagon sounds really caring." said a Daughter of Venus.

Hades slowly felt a bit better at this mans relationship with his son. But he still *as is custom among parents* was worried for his son.

"Thank you Senator now if you will excuse me I must report back to Master Jinn." said Nico standing with a bow and left the apartment.

Nico Shadow Traveled back to the temple. He found Kai and Ambrose walking along the corridors by the Archives.

"Master Jinn, Master Ambrose." he said with a polite nod.

Ambrose gave Nico a curt nod with a small smile while Kai just nodded his head.

"Di Angelo I trust you have good news?" asked Kai.

"Can I just say that Kai is acting like a complete jerk towards Nico?" said Percy.

"Yeah he is really getting on my nerves." said Thalia.

Many of the demigods upfront were not pleased with how Kai treated Nico but many could understand his reasons. Nico DID seem shady and he had good reasons to turn against Olympus.

Nico tried not to roll his eyes and controlled his anger and calmly replied back "Yes my friend in the Senate has agreed to get you a meeting with the Chancellor the Chancellor should contact you soon." said Nico.

Kai's glare softened only a tiny bit but his reply made Nico a bit proud. "Well done Nico we will handle it from here go rest for a while." said Kai.

"Yes he called him Nico their relationship is getting a bit better." said Hazel with a proud smile.

Bianca smiled as well even tho she was still shattered the hear about her fate.

"See Kai is not just a jerk he is just concerned about the nation." said Piper.

Jason kissed her cheek causing Reyna to flinch.

Nico left and traveled back to his sisters apartment. However when he entered he immediately felt uncomfortable.

Hazel and Bianca's smiles fell and so did Franks.

"I thought Nico felt comfortable around me and Frank?" said Hazel.

"Maybe it will explain why." said Annabeth.

Hazel was in her living room with Piper and Leo along with Calypso Leo's girlfriend.

Leo who was currently tinkering away at a piece of metal suddenly fell out of his chair banging his head on the metal.

"I HAVE A WHAT!" he cried out with wide eyes.

"Congratulations Leo you got a girlfriend someone actually likes you." said Jason with a laugh.

Percy however hearing said name of said girlfriend paled and suddenly glared at the gods.

"DID. YOU. FREE. HER!" he said in a growl.

Those who knew the legend of Calypso gasped realizing Percy had met her before.

Annabeth *who had gotten over Calypso* grabbed his hand.

The gods looked uncomfortable. "Um yes we might have forgotten about that." said Zeus.

"As soon as this book is done you will free her like you promised." said Percy.

Zeus *who really wanted to smite the demigod* swallowed his tongue and continued to read.

Leo had freed Calypso from her island by returning to her with his metal dragon Festus.

Once again Leo fell off his chair. "I FIX FESTUS YES!" he cried out.

The children of Hephaestus laughed at their brother and Hephaestus himself let out a loud booming laugh of pure joy.

The gods looked at Hephaestus with awe struck faces never hearing the God of Fire laugh like that or laugh at all really. Once again Aphrodite felt sadness that SHE couldn't get him to laugh like that but his CHILDREN could.

Unfortunately Nico was never good around said happy Fire Wielder and preferred to avoid him.

Leo frowned.

He nodded his head towards Hazel who smiled at him and entered his room. As soon as he entered however a floating ball of metal zoomed into his view.

*Hello Nico I am glad I found you.* said the floating object which Nico quickly recognized as 'D'.

"WHAT! How did that device get out of The Underworld let alone that secret room!" said a surprised Hades.

"Allow me to read brother and it may be revealed." said Zeus.

He continued to read.

"D? Why are you here?" asked a surprised Nico.

*I had to find you. I got bored down in The Underworld* said D.

"Ok better question HOW are you here?" he asked the strange device.

D floated over to Nico's bed and then towards the windows.

*You forget Nico that I was once a Son of Hades myself I was easily able to stow away on Charon's ferry when he was delivering souls and easily tracked you down* D said in his robotic voice.

"Well thats not creepy at all." said Leo in his sarcastic voice.

Many in the room agreed thinking of the little mysterious device following you around was kinda creepy.

"Alright alright what is so exciting about being up from The Underworld I mean its just average demigod crap." said Nico.

D merely floated over to Nico and looked at him his black single eye looking at him emotionless yet…filled with emotion.

*I will to help you Nico…I know the risks of children of Hades I know the pain and loneliness that comes with it. I have never met a Roman ever and this is my chance to meet my father counter parts children* he replied.

Once again some in the room felt for the tiny device knowing that it was basically describing the torture of being alone….just like Nico.

Nico was silent after that. He didn't know how to reply to the small device. Eventually he just sighed and laid down on the bed. "Well D I am afraid that today was a pretty stressful day." said Nico.

D just silently floated around scanning random things that seemed to interest him.

Nico suddenly felt his pocket vibrate and pulled out his demigod communicator built by the demigods so it could avoid monsters.

"Like a phone for demigods SWEET!" said Leo with a fist pump to the air.

Piper laughed at his antics and shoved him.

Jason merely smirked at his hyper friend.

"All Council Members this message is calling you to the temple. A emergency council session has been ordered." said the voice recording of Kai.

"I guess the Chancellor must have replied to them." said Frank.

"D stay here." Nico said grabbing his gear knowing what the session was most likely about.

*Of course Nico I understand it gives me time to see all the new wonders of living spaces* D replied.

Nico once again Shadow Traveled to the front of the temple and quickly made his way up to the Council Room. He took his seat nodding head towards those already there which of course were Kai and Ambrose.

"Of course they are already there." said Reyna with a eye roll.

"They live in the temple so its obvious they would be there first." said Jason.

Soon enough every member arrived and Kai began to speak.

"This emergency session has taken place because the Chancellor has allowed us to send ambassadors to the blockade of Nara." said Kai.

Many who had wanted to act got smiles on their faces.

"However we can only send two demigods or legacies. No Legionaries are allowed as well. I already have two demigods perfect for the job." said Kai.

"I wonder who it will be." said Percy with a truly interested expression on his face.

"Who are they Master Jinn?" asked Frank.

"Malcom Knight shall lead the negotiations and Percy will accompany him." said Kai.

"Malcom?" Percy said with a wide eyed expression.

"I am pretty good at solving debates." said Malcom with a small smile.

"I can't believe Kai thinks its a good idea to send PERCY on a DIPLOMATIC mission." said Annabeth with a shake of he head.

Percy pouted while Zeus continued to read.

"I am ok with working with Malcom he is Annabeth's brother and a good friend." said Percy with a smile.

"Are you sure it is wise to send Percy on a diplomatic mission?" asked Annabeth.

"Don't change much Wise Girl." Percy chuckled.

"I have confidence that Percy will not need to do much talking. Malcom will while Percy is there merely for support and backup incase things get…ugly." said Kai.

"Well never mind if things get ugly Percy is the NUMBER ONE person you want at your side." said Grover with a smile.

"I will not mess up Wise Girl believe me." said Percy.

"I do believe in you Seaweed Brain, but come on when are YOU get at diplomacy?" asked Annabeth.

"You guys are adorable." said Aphrodite with a squeal.

Piper rolled her eyes at her mothers actions while Annabeth and Percy blushed beet red.

"Percy will not need to do much if all goes according to plan. This is are best chance to get the blockade to end." said Frank.

"I agree send Percy and Malcom." said Ambrose.

Ambrose decision basically swayed the others into agreeing…even Annabeth.

Annabeth blushed again while the throne room snickered.

"Very well council adjourned." said Kai.

Nico gave a small nod to Hazel and Percy before Shadow Traveled away.

Bianca frowned at her brothers coldness towards others.

While Nico Shadow Traveled away Percy discussed the upcoming mission with Kai, Annabeth and Ambrose.

"I may dislike sending Percy to resolve a conflict such as this." said Annabeth.

"You REALLY are not letting that go are you." Percy said with a happy smile on his face.

Annabeth blushed most likely just worried for her boyfriend.

"Trust Percy to do well on this mission as I do Annabeth. Then he will succeed." said Ambrose walking with his staff.

"I have contacted Malcom already he is meeting us at the Hanger Bay." said Kai.

"Why there?" asked Leo.

"Listen Repair Boy." said Piper.

"You guys will have to fly there, Percy don't worry you have been giving protection by Zeus due to your heroics." said Kai.

Percy was still pale as a ghost.

"Thanks for that Uncle Zeus but don't worry I will NOT be spending time in the air as long as I can help it." Percy said paler than Hades.

Zeus smirked at his little nephew but still got glared at by the other gods.

Percy nodded his head but was still pale.

As they entered the Hanger they were met by Leo who was chatting away with a man with blonde hair and grey eyes. He was talking calmly to Leo but when he caught sight of them he gave them a small smile.

"Master Ambrose, Master Kai." said the man as he gave a bow to them.

"Ah Malcom thank you for agreeing to this task." said Kai with a nod.

"There you are Maclom. Still as calm as ever." said one of Hermes children.

Malcom gave Percy a high five and Annabeth a hug.

"Hey there Malcom hope you can keep Seaweed Brain out of trouble for me." said Annabeth.

Malcom laughed and replied back "Don't worry Annabeth I will."

The two demigods got into a nearby plane and soon enough the plane started up and took off.

"Thats the end of the chapter." said Zeus.

Percy was still pale as a ghost but everyone else was interested in how the mission was going to go.

"Who would like to read next?" asked Zeus.

Poseidon raised his hand. "I will brother." he said.

Poseidon got the book and soon began to read.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
