Lines Between

Hope and her friends were back on the Excalibur discussing the deferment that happened on Nomanisan Island with her father.

"Has there been any word on Syndrome?" Hope asked.

"No, he's vanished without a trace," said her father. "If he was unaware of the deception he no doubt with Rattus making more weapons for him."

"Now is not good, the containment sill he built was able to hold Hope," said Frank.

"Yes, I was unable to summon my Keyblade," said Hope.

"Normally, we Keyblade wielders don't have to worry about being locked up our Keyblades are able to unlock or lock any type of lock," said Sora. "But it's no use if you can't grasp your Keyblade."

"What about Wolf?" Rex asked.

"We haven't found any trace of him either, but it's clear that Rattus has some helpers," said Sora, who is now looking deeply troubled. "We have also found something troubling, according to the data Toodles has given us we have discovered that the Heartless have seem evolved."

"Evolved?" said Hope.

"The more the information we can gather it would seem that the Heartless now go and strength when exposed to negative emotions, like the Unversed," said Sora.

"But why now?" said Rex.

"That's a very good question and I fear we've only reached the top of the iceberg," said Sora. "Either way I would be a lot more careful now it would seem as if you're Quest is a lot more complicated than we thought."

"I'll be fine, Dad," said Hope. "After I got these guys."

"Just remember your friends are your power and you are theirs," said Sora.

The screen then went blank.

Her father had said these words were many times, but she never truly understood the meaning. How could her friends be a power and how could she be theirs?

"Good news, I've upgraded our ship," said Frank. "She can move faster and has better armaments. I do see those Heartless ships make a crack at her now."

"I wouldn't tempt fate, Frank," said Rex. "She is quite fickle."

Just as he said it they saw several dots on the screen.

"What did I say," said Rex.

"Man the guns!" Hope yelled.

Both she and Rex ran to man the guns and began blasting the Heartless ships. The upgrades that Frank installed were a great help, Frank was dodging the ships attacks a lot more effectively now. Also the guns had a little bit more power to them and they obliterated the ships.

"That was fun," said Frank.

"Your idea of fun is a lot different from mine," said Hope.

"We're approaching a new world," Toodles announced.

They look to the scream and indeed saw a new world insight. This one looks slightly different from the ones before. One-sided had a huge continent and on the other was a huge ocean with tiny islands.

"What's this world called?" Hope asked.

"It's called Camp Half-Blood," said Toodles. "It's a world that is ruled by the Greek Gods."

"You mean like Olympus Coliseum?" said Hope.

"No, this is not ancient Greece, but actual cities like London," said Toodles.

"How can there be two worlds ruled by Greek Gods?" Frank asked puzzled.

"The term World is another meaning for parallel world," Toodles explained. "That is either sold many similarities in many worlds like fairy tales and so on. In fact everyone has a powerful version of themselves in each world."

"And what minds like?" said Frank.

"Personally I think one of you is bad enough," said Rex.

"Hey!"

"It's anything else we should know about this world, Toodles?" Hope asked.

"This world has its own heroes demigods like Hercules," Toodles explained. "They train and live in camp, but some them choose to remain there, because the hunted down by monsters. However, according to our information the camps protective barrier is now the failing."

"Does that mean that they're vulnerable to attacks," said Frank.

"Indeed," said Toodles. "The only way to heal these barriers is to locate an item called Golden Fleece. In fact some demigods are actually searching for it has we speak."

"I don't think is a coincidence that the barriers failing," said Frank.

"Last year I was on that world with Master Ventus," said Rex. "The Olympians were almost at war, a three way war, I teamed up with a demigod by the name of Percy Jackson, a son of Poseidon, and his friends. We were able to prevent the war before it started, though it was pretty close."

"Looks like they can use our help," said Hope.

"If what Sora said is true this is the perfect opportunity for the Heartless to gaining power," said Frank.

"Then our mission is clear we must locate the Golden Fleece and return it to the camp, before they are utterly destroyed," said Rex.

"What a cheery thought," said Hope. "Well, I'm psyched."

Camp Half-Blood: Circe's Island

They soon beamed down on an island in the vast sea. The place was amazing. There was white marble and blue water everywhere Hope looked. Terraces climbed up the side of the mountain, with swimming pools on every level, connected by waterslides and waterfalls and underwater tubes you could swim through. Fountains sprayed water into the air, forming impossible shapes, like flying eagles and galloping horses. There was a huge sign that read: C.C.'s Spa and Resort.

"This place is amazing," said Hope.

"Indeed, so prepare for trouble," said Rex his hand on his sword.

"What do you mean prepare for trouble?" said Frank.

"I mean on this world is something seems perfect it's always a death trap," said Rex.

"Ain't you over reacting?" said Hope.

"Then ask yourself this, why are their only young woman here?" said Rex.

Both Hope and Frank looked around and saw that he was right. They only people here where young woman and no man.

"Okay, that is a little creepy," Frank admitted. "But that doesn't mean—"

Then they saw a thirteen year old girl with blonde hair and stormy grey eye in a sleeveless silk dress running towards them with a guinea pig in her arms. She was wearing makeup and even if she had just met her it was clear to anyone that she hated makeup.

The girl stopped in front of them and looked at Rex stunned. "Rex?" she gasped.

"Annabeth," said Rex looking shock, but Hope assumed it was because of the makeup.

"I take it you two know each other," said Frank.

"A tale we can share once were out of here," said Annabeth.

"Why what's the matter?" Hope asked.

She soon got her answer several girls in dress being led by a woman with dark hair with threads of gold wearing a dress similar as Annabeth's only black were running towards in a rage.

"Never mind," said Hope.

"Toodles, beam us up!" Frank yelled over the com.

"Give me a minute," said Toodles.

"We've got about seconds!" Frank yelled pulling out his pistols.

He began firing at girls, which had started to fire fireballs at them. Rex created a shield around them to protect them and Hope casted a Thunder spell.

"Toodles anytime now!" said Frank.

Rex's shield shattered, and when they thought they were done for a light surrounded them and they vanished.

Gummi Ship

They soon sound themselves in the Excalibur much to everyone's relief.

"You could have cut it any closer?" said Frank.

"Not really," said Toodles.

"Annabeth, I'm surprised you're not with Percy," said Rex.

"Actually, I am," said Annabeth. "That woman you just saw that was Circe and he has a habit of turning men into pigs, but she now prefer to turn them into guinea pigs."

"Are you saying that guinea pig in your hands is Percy?" said Rex in bewilderment.

"Yes, and I don't know how turning back," said Annabeth. She then looked up at Rex. "Do you think you can?"

"I can give it a try," said Rex.

Annabeth placed the guinea pig down and Rex began chanting an incantation while waving his hand over the guinea pig, bang! Where the gape it once stood was a thirteen-year-old boy with jet black hair and bright sea green eyes.

He seemed to be quite thankful that he was wearing a pair jeans and a shirt and Hope was quite thankful to.

"Glad you're not guinea pig, Seaweed Brain," said Annabeth giving him a big hug, but quickly pulled away.

"Okay now there are out of in a danger about you introduce us," said Frank.

"Right, sorry," said Rex. "This is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. We met last year and managed to prevent the Olympians from going to war, again."

"I'm Hope, that's Frank and the flying disc of our heads is Toodles," said Hope.

"Nice to meet you," said Toodles.

"Likewise," said Annabeth.

"Any friend of Rex as a friend of ours," said Percy.

"What were you to doing in a spa that was being run by an evil sorcerer's?" Frank asked.

"We were trying to find the Golden Fleece," said Annabeth.

"Trying, being the operative word," said Percy. "The ship we hitchhiked on turnout to be owned by our hateful enemy, then we land on an island nearly getting chewed upon by a hydra and then we join forces with the most arrogant daughter of Ares, by the name of Clarisse, you've could ever meet and then that she got blown up along with my brother."

"Wait, I thought you were the only demigod son of Poseidon alive," said Rex.

"Technically, he isn't a demigod," said Percy. "He's a cyclops."

"Your family tree is weird," said Frank.

"You haven't said anything I haven't told myself," said Percy.

"I'm sorry for your loss," said Hope.

"Thanks, I just wish was a better brother," said Percy sadly.

"Anyway," said Annabeth, who clearly want to change the subject. "You remember Grover, Rex." Rex nodded. "Well, he's found the Golden Fleece, but it is guarded by a nasty cyclops by the name of Polyphemus, who is under the impression that Grover is a female cyclops and wants to marry him."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, backup," said Frank looking both disgusted and shocked. "It did you just say that this cyclops is going to marry your friend."

"It gets worse than that," said Rex. "Grover is a satyr and cyclops like to eat satyrs."

"This story is getting better and better," said Hope.

"That's not even the worst of it," said Percy.

"How could it possibly get worse," said Frank.

"Well, there's this son of Hermes, called Luke Castellan, and he's the reason why the boundaries of the camp are weakening and he wants to retreat the fleece to revive an ancient evil that ruled this world a few million years ago," said Annabeth.

Hope notice that she looked slightly upset when she mentioned Luke Castellan.

"And here I thought it would be a simple now and grab," said Frank.

"Things are never simple of demigods are they," said Rex.

"Nope," said Percy and Annabeth at the same time.

"Ugh, I see if I can't locate the fleece," said Rex as he sat on the ground cross-legged. "Grover is not the only one who is very in tune with nature."

"Hope, I don't suppose you've got some extra clothes on you," said Annabeth. "I don't fancy fighting deadly enemies and address."

"No sweat, and true to my room," said Hope.

Hope's room was nothing more than just a bed and closet. The ship of the war was militarily, not a luxury liner.

Annabeth quickly grab some of Hope's extra clothes and headed straight for the bathroom.

"So, you Percy been friends long?" Hope asked.

"No, only since last year," said Annabeth from behind the door.

"Strange, the way you talk to each other I thought you've been friends you were kids," said Hope.

"He gets on my nerves sometimes," said Annabeth sounding very annoyed. "I mean, he's not done, he's actually quite intelligent, but he acted dumb."

"Do you know any more about this Luke Castellan?" Hope asked.

"We were… we were friends once, best friends," said Annabeth. Hope wasn't sure, but she swore that Annabeth was blushing behind the door. "Luke has always been angry at his father not being there when he needed him and so now he wants to take down the Olympians. He's so angry with them that he is killing our oldest friend."

"What oldest friend?" Hope.

"Thalia, daughter of Zeus, she died protecting us, but her father turned her into a pine tree and now she protects the borders of the camp," said Annabeth, who now sounded very upset. "But Luke poisoned her tree and now she's dying."

"Sounds like he's more than just a friend," said Hope.

"Well, uh, it's—it's complicated," said Annabeth uneasily,

"Hope, Rex has found the location of the Golden Fleece," said Frank over the com.

"We'll be right there," said Rex.

Moments later, Hope and Annabeth, who was now in Hope's cloths, reached the cockpit.

"We're on top of the island," said Rex.

"Which is a good thing, because don't think Percy will stand inside the ship a moment longer," said Frank gesturing over to Percy, who was shivering uncontrollably.

"I'm the son of Poseidon, Zeus said the blasting out of the sky flying his domain," said Percy. "I'm surprised you haven't done it already."

"He could, but you also anger the Keyblade Order," said Rex. "Not even the gods wish to anger the order."

"How come gods are so scared of some order?" Percy asked.

"Because a single Keyblade wielder is tough enough to take on a god, can you imagine the entire order would attack Mount Olympus," said Frank.

"You're joking," said Percy.

"They're not, in another world the most powerful member of the order Sora took on a powerful version of our Hades and defeated him," said Annabeth. "And you remember Master Ventus took on Ares in single combat."

"Okay, I get it, but one still makes me uneasy," said Percy.

"We'll try and teleport into the cyclops cave," said Frank.

"Hopefully we will be able to rescue Grover and retrieve the fleece," said Annabeth.

"We better get down there, because we don't have much time," said Percy.

Camp Half-Blood: Polyphemus' Island

Toodles has indeed matter teleport them straight inside the cyclops's cave. They could see the fleece, which was indeed golden, from the cave mouth on the grassy plain that covered it at the base of a tree. The cave itself was a grisly sight for bones.

Then they saw the cyclops himself, he about five metres tall with jagged yellow teeth and grizzled hand as big a person, but the most startling thing was his enormous milky eye, scarred and webbed with cataracts. If he wasn't completely blind, he had to be pretty darn close. And he was dressed for wedding—he was wearing a crude killed and shoulder-warp, stitched together with blue baby tuxedo, it looked like he skinned an entire wedding party.

Then they saw someone that Hope guest was Grover. From the waist up in looked the typical teenager with a peach-fuzz goatee, but from the waist down he was half goat. He was also wearing a wedding dress and was extremely fearful.

Also they saw hanging from the wall was a big, tall girl with long, stringy light brown hair, pig-like brown eyes and strong looking, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Clarisse," said Percy.

"The girl you mentioned earlier," said Frank.

"Yeah, before she went down with the ship," said Annabeth.

"Looks like things have gotten more complicated," said Hope.

"You're a feisty one!" said Polyphemus in a deep booming voice.

"Challenge me!" Clarisse Geld. "Give me back my sword and I'll fight you!"

Polyphemus laughed. "The loudmouth girl now or wait for wedding feast? What does my bride think?" he said looking down at Grover.

"Oh, um, I'm not hungry right now, dear. Perhaps—"

"Did you say bride?" Clarisse demanded. "Who—Grove?"

All five of them face palm each other.

Polyphemus glowered. "What 'Grover'?"

"The satyr!" Clarisse yelled.

"What satyr?" asked Polyphemus. "Satyr are good eating. You bring me satyr?"

"No, you big idiot!" bellowed Clarisse. "That stayr! Grover! The warning the wedding dress!"

Polyphemus then turned ripped off Grover's wedding veil—revealing his curly hair and tiny horns.

Polyphemus breathed heavily, trying to contain his anger. "I don't see very well," he growled. "Not since many years ago when the other heroes that me in the eye. But YOU'RE—NO—LADY—CYCLOPS!"

"Well, it's now or never," said Frank.

With that they all charged at the cyclops at the same time. Polyphemus turned just in time for Frank to stunning with his Spark Shot. Percy then pulled out a pen from his pocket, which seemed weird, until he removed the lid and extended into a sword. He then stabbed his right foot.

"Ouch!" yelled Polyphemus grasping his foot and began hopping around.

Hope then casted a Blizzard spell that froze his left foot. Annabeth then clapped her hands together in the moment Rex placed a foot on her hands, she tossed him up into the air. He then slammed his sheathed sword right on top of the cyclops is large head.

The impact knocked him unconscious and he tumbled to the ground with an almighty crash.

"Well, that was fun," said Hope.

"Guys, you made it," said Grover completely relieved.

"We had a bit of help," said Percy gesturing to Hope, Rex and Frank.

"Sorry to break up your victory party, but will you cut me down!" Clarisse yelled furiously.

"Don't worry, Clarisse, we'll get you down," said a voice behind them.

They turned and saw a handsome twenty-year-old boy with sandy hair and blue eyes. He had a scar under his eye and in his hand he held a saw that look like it was made of two different materials. Hope knew at once that this was the person that Percy and Annabeth warned about. This was Luke Castellan.

Camp Half-Blood: Princess Andrmeda

Hope and her friends soon found themselves on the aft deck of a cruise liner right in front of a swimming pool with sparking fountains that sprayed into the air. Luke, who was holding the fleece his arms, was standing with dozes of monster and demigods.

Also with him her Heartless that Hope didn't recognised. Toodles had informed her over the com that the ones that looked like roman soldiers her Centauries armed with spears and the ones that looked like armoured pegasus' were called Crooked Chariot.

Then she noticed standing beside Luke was chameleon that was dress like a ninja with a pair of sais.

"Cam Chameleon I should have known you'd be part of this," said Rex.

"It certainly has been a long time Rex," said Cam smirking at Rex.

"You know him," said Hope.

"Yes, he's an assassin with no honour," said Rex distastefully.

"When do assassins have honour," said Percy.

"Well, most assassins would harm the innocent and would break a contact with their employer," said Rex. He then looked at Cam with a face of disgust. "But Cam don't mind getting his hands blood and if he's offered a better deal he's take it."

"Honour is so underrated," said Cam.

"So now that you've got us what are you going to do?" Frank asked.

"Well, I was planning on using the Golden Fleece to speed up Kronos regeneration even faster and then lead his arms to over throw the Gods."

"Luke, don't do it!" Annabeth begged.

"It's the only way to being justices to all Demigods, Thali would join me and so can you Annabeth," said Luck looking down at her.

"You'll destroy this world," said Rex.

"You'd kill countless people," said Hope.

"The Keyblade Order isn't any better," said Luke sneering at Hope. "You just sit around when people from other worlds surfer."

"That's not true!" Hope yelled.

"Whatever," said Luke and turned his back on her. "The Gods have ignored us and whenever they do something wrong we get punished like Thali."

"So does everyone else," said Rex. "People often take revenge on the children of those who wronged them, but you'll kill everyone in the world just to get revenge."

"No, I'm righting the wrongs that gods have down to this world it's rotten to the core," said Luke turning on him. "The only way to save this world is to destroy everything and rebuild from scratch."

"So you'll destroy everything to achieve your ends," said a new voice.

They all turned and Hope can believe her eyes, standing there was her Uncle Riku. He was tall man in his thirties with long silver grey hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a black T-shirt underneath a yellow jacket.

Then she saw two people standing next to him one of them was Shade, but the other was a cyclops that was two metres tall with one large brown eye in the middle of his forehead and judging from his mouth it was clear that he never used the toothbrush.

"Uncle Riku!" Hope yelled.

"Tyson!" Percy yelled.

"Hello, Percy," said Tyson in a childish voice.

"You," said Luke glaring at Riku. "What do you want?"

"To remind you what I told you six years ago, if you let your hate and anger control you'll you hurt everyone you care for," said Riku.

"I'm not going to be lectured, by someone who remains in his tower all day," Luke sneered.

"Doing you a favour, Luke," said Riku. "Believe me when I say, if you walk down this path will never forgive yourself."

"I don't need your charity," said Riku. He then looked at his forces. "Attack!"

Riku someone out his Keyblade, the Way to the Dawn, he then charged at Luke's forces. Tyson quickly followed

Shade had also summon out his Keyblade, it had a black handle and the guard was shaped like black angel wings. The blade was blood-red while the teeth were shaped like a white angel wing. The keychain had both a sword and angel wing on it. Hope remember that it was called The Dark Angel.

With all the confusion both Luke's and Cam's forces were not paying attention to Hope and the others. That proved to be a great mistake Hope and Percy drew their weapons and sliced through the two Centurions that were guarding them.

The others ran off to grab their weapons so they could join in the battle. Cam turned and tossed a pair shuriken straight at them, for she the two of them were able to block them with their weapons.

Cam then vanished, no doubt blending into the background and next thing Hope new, Rex appeared out of nowhere and blocked an invisible attack. Cam reappeared with his sais crossing Rex's sword.

In the corner of Hope's eye she saw Annabeth and Clarisse fighting against Luke. Despite it being two on one, Luke was holding his own quite well with his sword and shield. Then Clarisse shouldered his shield and that gave Annabeth enough time to grab the Golden Fleece that was wrapped around her shoulder.

"No!" Luke yelled, but he was quickly silenced when Frank blasted him with one of his Stun Shots and then got kicked in the stomach by Grover.

"We need to retreat," said Riku as he sliced through a Crooked Chariot.

"But we can win this," said Percy.

"That could take time and time we do not have, Thali's tree is dying and your camera will not hold out much longer," said Riku.

"Percy, he's right," said Annabeth.

Percy nodded reluctantly.

Riku then brought his handwriting front of him next second they all disappeared.

Camp Half-Blood: Long Island Sound

Hope soon found herself in a glassy plane that overlooked a large lake. She saw in a distance a large pine tree that looked it close to death, she guessed that was Thali's Tree and beyond that no doubt was Percy and Annabeth's camp.

"How did we get here," said Percy bewilderment.

"With magic, Seaweed Brain, how else," said Annabeth.

"I'm just happy I'm not barring a cyclops," said Grover with relief.

"Tyson, how did you survive?" Percy asked.

Riku then explained that he and Shade came to this world because of troubles with the camp and that he found Tyson drifting in the sea. Tyson then explained to Riku about everything it was then a simple matter of tracking them down.

Riku then looked at Annabeth. "I see you're all grown up," he said the smile.

Annabeth looks slightly embarrassed. "Wait, you two met," said Percy.

"It was before we met Grover, he gave Luke some advice," said Annabeth.

"I nearly told young Luke that if he does not let go of his hate and anger he could very well hurt those he most cares for," said Riku with a heavy sigh. "But he rejected my advice and see what he's become."

"He can still be saved," said Annabeth.

"I hope you are right, Annabeth," said Riku.

Suddenly Hope's Keyblade began to glow as did the Golden Fleece. Then being shot out of the Golden Fleece and created a Gate. Hope aimed her Keyblade up at the Gate and Fido beam straight at it. They then heard a lock being opened and Hope felt herself acquiring new power.

"You've just learned how to use the Water spell," said Rex.

"What was that," said Grover.

"It was pretty," said Tyson.

"It means we have to go," said Hope.

"Well, I hope we see you again," said Percy.

They watched as Percy and his friends rushed up towards Thali's Pine tree.
