Chapter 1:Lace POV

After I hit the shades, all I felt was the extremly cold air and Theseus's grip. Then it lightened up. We were in the Underworld. I made a list in my head.

One, Find Bianca,

Two, Don't look behind you as you're leading her to the living world, and

Three, don't get killed.

"It's too hot here. Let's find who we came for and LEAVE!" Theseus complained. He never was good with so much heat. On a summer day, you'd most likely find him in a pool or body of water, and I'd just be outside playing catch with my dad and it didn't bother us a bit.

"Oh, shut up." I told him, "First stop, Hades's castle."

He climbed off my back and muttered something like "Fine." and started to walk toward the horizon where the turrets of the palace could be seen. He pulled on his mom's invisbility hat and tossed me another one. I looked around to make sure none of the spirits noticed us. I let out a breath in relief.

We slowly made our way towards where Hades and Persephone lived. Cerebrus smelled us, but I tossed a rubber yak at him. I got my dad to ask one of his friends in the Hecate cabin at camp to enchant it so that way when it left my hand, it slowly grew bigger. What if we can't suceed? What will happen? I thought.

"Lace, What if we can't find Bianca?" Theseus whispered.

"We'll find her. I just need to get permission from Hades to enter Elysium." I was unsure that Hades even knew who we were. I mean, we are from the future and this is my parents' past.

We reached the gates of the castle and I managed to get the skeletons to open the gates for us by saying that we needed to see Hades, NOW! to them, they chattered to each other and then they turned and pushed the door open. We ran throught the halls as we tried to find the throne room where Hades usually was. I thought on how to introduce us. If I said that I was his granddaughter, it'd be weird to explain how we got here. Finally, we got to the throne room.

This thing still amazes me. It's like, black marble and the thrones are so ... grand.

"Hello? Hades?" I asked. It had been several years since I last saw him because Dad rarely took my brother and I to the Underworld. I thought I would have reconised him. I know gods don't age because my mom and dad appear to age ( I am a half-blood because my mom was pregnant with me before my dad became a god.) but they wanted to look like that. They brought us to the winter solstice and that's when I met Hades for the first time. I was nine when that happened.

FLASHBACK TO BEFORE LACE WAS BORN AND WHEN NICO BECAME IMMORTAL

Luna POV

"Luna, I don't have much time. The gods are fading quickly. You must get some of the campers to become the new Olympians." Poseidon said to me. Pain etched on his face. "Zeus, Hera, Morpheus, Athena, Nemesis, Hepastus, Apothrodite, Ares, Dionysus and Hades have already faded. I fear I am next. You must tell Nico, Percy, Thalia, Pollux, Zayd, Annabeth, Ethan and a few others to take thier parents' places on Olympus." And with that, Poseidon turned to sea foam and disapeared. He faded, I thought.

Then, blame me being a careless goddess, I panicked.

"Gotta tell Percy and everyone, NOW!" I said to myself as I popped back to camp. Straight into the dining hall. Oops. Godly size. I realized.

"Oh well." I whispered.

"Morpheus cabin, your father has faded, and everyone, that goes for you. My father asked me and one frome every cabin to take over thier place. Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Pollux, Zayd, Ethan, you are the ones he chose. All the other cabins, pick one camper to replace your godly parent. Meet us in the arena in ten minutes." Eveyone nodded.

"Dad...died?" Percy asked as he was dragging poor Nico, and he was literally dragging him. Kronos sat on the bench alone now, nibbling on several cookies.

When we got into the arena, Nico, Percy and Annabeth had pulled on thier armour. Clarisse stood there with her fourth electric spear. The third was snapped, cortesy of me. Then the others flooded in, wearing camp tees, shorts, jeans, skorts and some were wearing chitons (like me) and some had laurels in thier hair.

"So, how are we going to get to Olympus?" A girl wearing black punk clothes pushed forward. Thalia, she must have heard the news about Zeus and Phoebe was standing nearby. The Stoll brothers shied away from her.

"Pegasi, and shadow travel." I said, jesturing to Redace, Blackjack, Porkpie, Guido and Mrs. O'Leary. A few other pegasi stood around.

"So, I shadow travel, Percy flies on Blackjack and anyone who wants, can also fly?" Nico said, wary.

I nodded.

"So... who are you replacing?" My friend Zayd asked.

"No one. I am one of the two new Olympians. Hades and his children are pardoned and they gave Hades a throne there. I am the goddess of time." I had a smug expression on my face.

So, everyone parted ways, except for the few who climbed onto Mrs. O'Leary's back.

"Mount Olympus, on top of the Empire State building." I whispered to her. She charged at the shadows and dissapeared. Nico ran the same way and I simply popped back to Olympus.

"Lady Hestia, Lord Apollo." I said, bowing when I returned to Olympus with Zayd, Jake Mason, Clarisse, Ethan and Nico. They had shadow travelled.

"Some of the destined new gods, hmm, we just have to wait for the rest." Apollo said, leaning in his chair. He stuck his earbuds in his ears and listened to some Muse song, Neutron Star Collision, I think.

I heard the doors open and Thalia and Phoebe walked in.

"Little sister." Apollo said, his eyes glinted mischieviously.

The rest had finished crowding into the room.

"So, what next?" A girl whose aura felt like she could put you asleep. Janine, daughter of Morpheus.

"Touch the throne of your mom or dad and for the minor ones, just think: I am the son/daughter of this god/goddess and say what the element they control. For example, Ethan would think I am Ethan Nakamura, Son of Nemesis, Goddess of Balance. I am the one replacing her.

"What if it doesn't work?" Someone piped up.

"Trust me, it will." I said as I walked over to my throne and jumped up. I was human size from when I was in the arena and I didn't want any camper to spontaneously combust. Nico walked over to the throne opposite mine. He touched it and collapsed. Percy had also walked over and collapsed. The other campers had followed thier example, except they were a little wary of it.

"And they should wake up in about ten minutes max." Apollo said, he looked at the minor god kids. I noticed a green cap lying in the crowd.

Bianca. I thought. Lace and Theseus had came from the past and brought her back from the dead. This was the second time someone was able to bring someone back from the dead. Only Hercules was able to, other than that pair of mismatched demi-gods.

So, all we have to do is wait. It's going to be boring. I thought.

Nico stirred. He sat up. He looked taller, he wasn't as thin and his dark eyes had a bit of a light that said that he was a madman or a geinus. He was still that guy I loved.

"Nn." He groaned. He looked at his hands then at me, then back at his hands.

" How's immortality for you?" I asked, lifting one eyebrow.

" Huh? Immortality?" He said.

"Yes, Nico." Apollo said. His Ipod was now blasting something else.

"Woah."

"Yeah, it's going to be a little disorienting at first, because you have been mortal for about 80 years now." I said to Nico.

I heard one of the new minor gods stir. They sat up and rubbed thier eyes. One of the goddesses. Bianca had replaced Persephone. THe new goddess of Springtime stood up and looked around.

" This is disorienting..." she said. She caught her brother's eye.

"Aww, for the sweet love of Aphrodite, I am a minor god and Nico gets to be the god of the Dead." She pouted. Nico smirked.

One by one, the new gods woke up. I felt a kick from the baby when Percy woke up.

The new Olympians were : Jake Mason, the new god of blacksmiths, Emma Vote, the new goddess of love, Thalia, the new goddess of lightning and Lady of the gods.

Hera was replaced by Hestia and Apollo stayed. Zayd or as some called him, Luke, had replaced Hermes. Clarisse took her father's place as the goddess of war and Percy took our father's place. Pollux for Dionysus and so on. Ethan for Nemesis, Janine for Morphwus, Dawn for Eos, and Kronos had stood against the doorway, watching this the whole time, holding his scythe. He nodded to Zayd. I have achieved what he had asked me. Keep Zayd alive.

I smiled at Nico, knowing our family had only just begun.

END of FLASHBACK

"Who are you?" Hades asked, he looked a lot younger. He still had the greasy hair I was used to, but his face appeared a lot kinder in my time. He looked out of place here.

"My name is Lace di Angelo. And this is Theseus Jackson. He's my best friend and we came to ask for a simple favour."

"What is the favour?" He asked me, a little meaner this time. I guess because he really doesn't like to do favours.

" We need entrance to Elysium. I need to save my mom and his dad in our time. We came from the future to save our parents. Theseus wants to know what his dad was like because he died before he was born. And my mom is missing and my dad is very worried, and I need to bring Bianca back!" I started. Hades signaled to me to be quiet. I knew from my dad that Hades had a temper and my dad's would sometimes flare at Percy. So I learned the hard way how not to make a god or goddess mad. I got my dad and mom mad on a regular basis. So I shut up.

" Theseus, you remind me of a certain nephew and you have his hair, which is strange." He said to Theseus. He blushed three shades of red. He did that whenever he was compared to his dad.

"Lace has some similarities too. Except her eyes are two-coloured, she has one sea green eye and one is a dark colour. Her hair is the same colour as my dad's and her mom's and mine, but a little lighter. Her twin has the exact colour." He told Hades.

Hades looked at us strangely.

"I am your granddaughter from the future. My dad is your son and in the future, we are in grave danger. Ouranos has taken over and my mom has gone missing!" I started to cry.

"She's had a hard time in our time. At least her dad was there... My dad is missing in our generation. Originally, only Lace was supposed to come and I tagged along when I heard my dad was in this time. And her siblings are worried." Theseus hugged me, I gripped his arm.

"Who is your parent?" Hades said.

"Nico and Luna di Angelo are mine." I said. "In our time, Luna is the goddess of time and Nico is the Lord of the Dead. The gods have faded in our generation. Only Apollo and Hestia remained. All of the gods, including you. It's set in stone."

"Mine are Annabeth and Perseus Jackson." Theseus's voice was grave. I have heard his mom's voice do that before. His gray eyes shone with worry.

Hades's eyes widened.

(A/N Yes. Yak is a word. It's like a bison or buffalo, but a lot shaggier. The rubber yak idea came from Mrs.O'Leary in the fourth book. The scene where Nico becomes a god is later on in the main story. Redace is my pegasus, well, Luna's pegasus. Emma Vote is based off of one of my friends. Her name is Emma and just, read my other story once it's up.- advertising for it.:D
