"Wait a minute! Why are we not being affected by this whole history thing like the other campers?" Leo asked as the pounding on the door became more intense.
"It might be because the leaders of the city tried to stop the sacrifice and did not support it, so as leaders of this camp you are immune to this affect." Chiron explained.
"I guess that makes sense." Percy said as he sat back.
"Anyway, we have more pressing matters to deal with. We must find the blade of Kronos." Piper said.
"Wait, why not try and find Medusa's head?" Jason asked curiously.
"I gave it to my mother five or six years ago to deal with a really mean and horrible guy, who knows where it could be now." Percy said.
"Well, lets ask her, maybe she remembers." Frank suggested.
Percy shrugged "Worth a shot."
Percy walked into the kitchen with Butch and he summoned a rainbow from the sink.
Percy threw in a drachma and called for Sally Jackson.
His mother came into view and she was kissing Paul Blofis, his stepfather.
Percy cleared his throat awkwardly and his parents pulled apart quickly.
"Percy! I'm so happy to see you, are you okay?" Sally asked.
"I'm fine, but we have a little bit of a problem here at camp. Do you remember where you put Medusa's head?" Percy asked.
"You had Medusa's head?" Paul asked in shock, but Sally ignored it.
"That was years ago, it's probably gone by now." Sally said.
"But, do you remember where you put it?" he asked.
Sally became lost in thought as she remembered back to that day.
"I'm pretty sure...I tried to send it back to Olympus, but that when Poseidon came for your birthday that year he told me that it was sent to Mt. Tam as a threat message to Kronos." Sally said.
"So, it's in San Francisco?" Percy asked and Sally nodded.
"Okay, thanks mom." Percy said and swiped his hand through the rainbow and ended the call.
"Well, this is going to be bad." Butch said just as a crashing sound came from the other room.
They both ran in and campers were running in to the rec room shouting and waving their weapons.
"Guys! Get out of here!" Will Solace said as the counselors all drew weapons and engaged the army of campers.
The Seven, Nico, and Reyna all held on to Nico and he shadow traveled out of the rec room.
They all appeared in Bunker Nine startling both Annabeth and Peter.
"Whoa! What happened?" Peter asked as he helped Reyna up and then the others.
"Angry campers are bad news. Let's avoid them from now on!" Leo said as he was breathing heavily.
"Well, how are we gonna stop Cetus?" Annabeth asked.
"I have an idea." Nico said.
"What?" Jason asked.
"What if a group goes to find the head while the others search for the blade. I can help with the blade, odds are it's in the Underworld." Nico said.
"That could work, I know San Francisco like the back of my hand. I'll go find the head." Reyna said.
"I'll go with you." Jason said.
"Better watch yourself Grace." Peter said as he held Reyna close.
Jason rolled his eyes as Frank stepped forward "I'll go to San Francisco too."
"I'll go to the Underworld with Nico." Percy said.
"Same here." Leo said.
"I'll go with you too." Piper said as she walked over to stand next to Percy and Leo.
"Alright, Nico you should probably Shadow travel us to the entrance to the Underworld with you and then we will start making our way to San Francisco." Jason said.
Nico nodded and everyone gathered around him, Percy walked over and gave Annabeth a kiss.
"I'll be back." he whispered to her.
"You better." she said with a smirk.
Percy walked over and Nico transported all of them out.
Peter and Annabeth stood there awkwardly.
"Want to play some card games?" Peter asked as he held up a deck of cards.
"Why not." Annabeth said and they both sat down.
The Underworld Group.
"Well, good luck guys." Percy said as he gave everyone a hug and the others started off down the street.
"Guys you might want to take this." Percy said and handed Jason a plastic card.
"What's this for?" Jason asked as he slipped it into his pocket.
"It's from the Lotus Hotel, it has an unlimited amount of money for basically anything." Percy explained.
"Thanks Kelp Head." Jason said and held out his hand.
"No problem Sparky." Percy said and took Jason's hand.
Jason turned around and ran to catch up with the others.
"Come on, let's get into the Underworld." Nico said.
Leo, Percy, Nico, and Piper all walked into the building and they saw Charon yelling at a lost soul.
"Charon!" Nico yelled and the large man turned and gave a cruel smile.
"Master Nico." he said and gave him a bow.
"We need to get into the Underworld right now." Percy said.
"For the guy who got me a raise, no problem right this way." he said and they walked into the ferry.
When Charon dropped them off they started down the pathway to the Fields of Asphodel.
"Where could the blade possibly be?" Piper asked as she looked at the massive field in front of them.
"I have no idea, but we could start with the entrance to Tartarus." Nico said and Percy stopped dead in his tracks.
"Percy, it's okay. You'll be fine, we are right here." Piper said when she saw the look of fear on his face.
"Yeah man, anything gets close and I'll burn them to a crisp." Leo said and lit his hand on fire for emphasis.
"It's...It's fine, I'll be fine." Percy said and the continued their walk through the seemingly endless field.
Though Percy was not fine, he was reluctant to return to the origin of his nightmares.
He sighed heavily as he and Nico walked side by side, he looked over and saw that Nico had the same look of fear he did.
"You scared too?" Percy asked.
Nico nodded as he sighed and kept on walking.
"We'll find it you know." Percy said in a hopeful voice to try and lift his spirits, though Nico just sighed again.
"Hopefully." Nico said.
San Francisco Group.
"I hope that they make it out okay." Jason said as he thought about his girlfriend in the Land of the Dead.
"I'm sure they will be fine, Percy and Nico know the Underworld. They'll protect Leo and Piper." Reyna said reassuringly.
Jason nodded as they climbed into a cab.
"We need to get to San Francisco as quickly as possible." Frank said.
The cab driver scoffed and turned back to them "Got the money?!"
Jason handed him the credit card that Percy had given him.
He swiped it and the infinity sign came up, the man actually sobbed in joy and then hit the accelerator with so much force they were sure he broke it.
"So, assuming we don't die in this cab. What's the plan?" Frank asked as his head was pressed against the seat.
"We need to get to Mt. Tam, that's where the gods sent the head as a threat to Kronos." Reyna explained.
"But, the fortress fell. How are we supposed to find it?" Jason asked.
Reyna sighed as she fiddled with her ring that Peter had given her.
"We just have to hope for the best, and hope that the head is there or that the others find the blade." Reyna said as she looked out the window.
They shot forward and Jason slammed his head into the divider of the cab.
"Sorry! Red light!" the driver said.
Jason rubbed his head and glared at the driver.
"Let's also hope we survive the drive there." Jason said as the driver shot forward again and they were pressed into the seat again.
"This may actually be the most danger we will be in." Frank said as his cheeks actually started shaking from the speed they were going.
Jason tried to laugh except his mind kept going back to Piper being in the Underworld and possibly never will come out.
"They'll be fine." Jason kept whispering to himself.
Back at the Bunker.
"Gin!" Annabeth yelled as she placed her cards down in front of Peter.
Peter threw his cards down and groaned as he rubbed his eyes.
"Every...game!" he said with a sigh.
"Learn to play cards better Sane." Annabeth said with a smile.
"Learn not to be super smart Chase." Peter said with a smirk.
They started laughing loudly when the bunker door made a loud bang.
Peter and Annabeth both got up and drew their weapons.
"Annabeth, hide!" Peter said.
"No way, I'm not..." she started but Peter grabbed her and flew up to a catwalk and dropped her there.
"Stay hidden." he hissed and flew back down, his armor summoned and his sword at the ready.
The door continued to push forward and then eventually it flew open and an army of demigods walked in led by...
"Jake Mason?" Peter said as he lowered his sword.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Who?" Peter asked but before he said anymore Jake had a sword at his throat.
"Where...is...Annabeth?" he asked again with a glare.
Peter gulped hard as he looked at the sword in front of him.
"Oh, right, her. She isn't here." Peter said with a smirk.
"Liar. We know she is here and we will find her." Jake said as he pressed the blade further against his neck.
Peter sighed heavily "Then I am really sorry about this Mason."
Jake looked confused until Peter swung his sword and knocked the sword out of his hand.
"GET HIM!" Jake yelled as he rubbed his hand.
The campers started forward and Peter dodged and swung, making sure not kill any campers, only injure them.
He grabbed an Ares kid and threw him into the group of campers, then he kicked another back.
Peter started to get overwhelmed so he kicked off the ground, except Jake grabbed his foot and yanked him down.
Peter fell and slammed into the ground and tried to get up but Jake kicked him and the vibration of his armor hurt his stomach.
Peter staggered up and tried to swing but a couple campers grabbed his arm and pulled the sword out of his hand, then the campers started to rip his armor off and punch him, and cut him with their weapons.
He fell and was lost in an ocean of deranged campers, Annabeth couldn't take it anymore.
"Peter!" she yelled, Jake turned and saw her on the catwalk.
"There she is! Get her!" he yelled.
The crowd lifted up a beaten and barely awake Peter over their heads and threw him to the side.
He slammed into a table and then fell on the ground, a few wrenches and tools falling on him.
Annabeth almost cried when she saw that he wasn't moving or made any indication to move.
"Come here Annabeth." a voice behind her said.
She turned and saw a Ares kid reaching for her, she drew her sword and pushed him back.
She kept at this pushing them back and running on the catwalk.
Then she felt hands wrap around her and hold her.
"This is how it has to be Annabeth!" Jake Mason said and then dragged her towards the small lift that led down to the ground.
"What about him?" a camper asked pointing at the unconscious Peter on the ground.
"Tie him up and throw him in the Big House with the other counselors." Jake ordered.
They dragged the unconscious teen away as they tied up Annabeth.
"Jake this isn't you!" Annabeth said but Jake ignored her.
He leaned forward until they were inches from each other.
"It's what needs to be done."
Please Review! Bye!
