A/N I know, I know, I'm sorry I really am, I haven't updated in like ages, but have no fear I return, don't worry I have developed a schedule so that I won't forget. So as a reward for being so patient with me I will post several long chapters soon, so thx, as always R&R (P.S. thx for all the character ideas couple more and I'll be golden)

I awoke to the sight of a man in complete black towering above me, and when I say black I mean like the black that makes bikers cry to their mommies, the type that seems to suck in your soul and make you want to curl up into a ball.

"So you are Earth's greatest hero, pathetic. Back in my prime we had real heroes, but what can I really expect, a lot has changed in the past million years."

"Wait, a million years... Who are you?" I asked.

"Wow puny and thick, I hate to see your worst hero."

His attitude reminded me of my uncle Hades, the I finally made the connection. "Oh my gods, your the Primordial God Tartarus."

"So you do have some brains inside of that thick skull of yours." He sneered.

I was really starting to get annoyed by his stupid cockiness, but I held my tongue seeing as how he was a Primordial God. "My liege how can I be as important enough as to gain your attention." I decided to suck up to him for now until I figured out what he wanted.

"I don't think you are personally but Chaos called in a favor, plus you helped defeat my wife, who between you and me was a real bitch."

The ground rumbled beneath us as he said this but it soon stopped. "Stupid bitch thinks she can shake the ground in my domain." Tartarus grumbled barely audible, "So back to the reason why you are here well Chaos decided that you are to become his bridge between the worlds, yes I said worldsss you daft boy so close your mouth, and he says you need training. So he called in a favor."

"Why thank you Lord Tartarus, for all your help," I said deciding to try and get on his good side.

"Don't thank me boy your time here is going to be hell, literally." Tartarus smirked.

"So when does my training start sir?"

"Right now," and with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke. The arena shook and then lowered from the height that it was currently elevated at. It sunk until it met another platform, just one that wasn't as helpful as my own. On it was residing three hydras, five espousas, and a really pissed off Minotaur.

"This is gonna be easy as I pulled out my swords." I mumbled. I guess I mumbled a bit to loud though because above me I heard the booming voice of Tartarus shout "Slight change and with a puff my armor disappeared along with Justice and Silence. "Carry on!" Tartarus boomed.

The monsters charged and I jumped back instinctively grabbing my bow and notching an arrow, which just happened to be a moon arrow. I surveyed the charging monsters and chose the espousas to take out first. They fell one by one but by the time I had finished them off the remaining monsters were upon me. I dodged an axe swipe from the Minotaur, and the blow carried through slicing one if the hydras in half killing it instantly. The two other hydras turned on the Minotaur and began to bite at his skin. He retaliated and sliced another of the hydras open and was turning on the last one when a sun arrows appeared pierced into its jaw along with several following.

The Minotaur turned on me facing off and I realized what it wanted I unstrapped my quiver and threw my bow to the ground. He torn off his chain mail and threw his axe on the ground so forcefully it stuck. He bellowed a skull shattering roar and charged at me. I dove to the side and he drove right passed. He came back around a second time, but unlike the first time I faced him I was confident. I ran up and closelined him as he ran passed. He fell to the ground gasping for air. As I looked into his eyes they pleaded end it, and I forcefully broke his neck, causing him to break into a pile of dust and float away. I stood up panting, and shouted skyward, "That all you got!"

"Not nearly came the reply," as I was clothed back in my armor and my swords returned, "Not nearly."

The platform plummeted until with a bone crushing crash it hit the ground. I stood up and cleared my eyes, surveying the surrounding. What I saw was not good all the monsters of hell were their to great me and as one they charged. I drew my swords, and mumbled "Lets go." I hacked and slashed though countless hordes of beasts and went into to auto pilot.

Then I remembered a very important weapon in my possession, my wings. The came out of the slits in my back with a hiss and I shot skyward. Some monsters who could fly rose to meet me, but most remained earth bound, I drew Sam's sword, Lucky, and slashed at the gorgon closest to me. I sliced her clean in half and her body fell and seconds before hitting the monsters below exploded into dust particles.

The fight continued and I fought on. Eventually my wings tired and I was forced back to the ground. I can't tell you what happened during that period, I can't even tell you what I fought, all I know is that I fought and fought and fought. I grew tired and then just collapsed and just lay there not caring what happened next. Strangely enough no monsters attacked me, then I realized why. As I sat up I saw that no monsters remained only piles and piles of dust. Lord Tartarus appeared next to me in shock as well, but soon hid it.

"How... How many?" I finally managed to say.

"240,000" he said as he rocked on his heels, "Rounded down."

"But how?"

"I don't know... I don't know." But he regarded me with more respect then before, "By the way I saved all your spoils and they're over their. I stood up and hobbled over with a cramp in my back.

The spoils were all amazing, but the most prominent were the Minotaur's axe, Medusa's head (like I said don't remember fighting her), and the Ring of Gyges won by piercing the evil King Gyges through his abdomen, which I remember because instead of dissolving he exploded leaving a crater in the ground. The Ring of Gyges allows me to become invisible at will.

As I slipped these three items and some other less important things into my bag (another spoil of war with a endless bottom) I looked at what was left. There was still quite a bit and I thought of what to do with it. Then I had an idea, I called Tartarus over and told him of my plan. He liked the idea and with a snap of his fingers the pile was gone.

Back at Camp Half-Blood...

A shadow fell over the camp as a blob appeared above them. The campers then scream and run for cover as they see what it is. Zanier and Annabeth run only to be caught in a ring of pole arms. Then a sword flies down nearly piercing Zanier but still leaving a good size cut running down his forearm. They see a scroll attached to the sword reading
