sooooo yeah, if ur interested LET ME KNOW lol XD
Imagine a bucket line, except with people. Literally the biggest and toughest romans soldiers (the Mars group) were hanging on a ladder and passing the rest of us "tinier people" down like a buckets, and we were going to be emptied on the fire. After the last centurian of the fourth cohort came down, these people started climbing, without us. "Dang," Reyna said, giving herself a face palm, "Of course! They couldn't have just waited for us?" She groaned, kicking stones away.
"Hey at least they kept the ladder there!" Jared said, trying to act the slightest bit happy!
" Yeah, All right people! File down one after another! Lets go People! Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it!" Reyna commanded guesturing to where the people should go. Meanwhile Maxwell and Jared started laughing
"Dayo Dayo dayo dayo dayo dayo dayo dayo dayo day dayooo," Maxwell said to the beat of the song.
" I like to move it move it! I like to move it move it! You like to MOVE IT!" Jared screamed, Then he and Maxwell started doing te egyptian walk dance move thing. "Fitzicalifitz! Fitzicalifitz! Fizticala Fitzicala Fitzicalafitz!" Jared continued. Maxwell continued to do his dayo thing. Reyna gave em a really bad glare, and then Maxwell the Egyptian and Jared the Egyptian hummed as they scurried down the ladder. Moments later they had all entered the pit.
"Look for the symbol," Reyna muttered underneath her breath.
"It is over there," Lexi mumbled and pointed to a tree that would soon be exposed to them.
"This way guys," Reyna ushered. Soon all forty of them stood (39 actually, Meena was being lifted up by Caralina). The magical border of Camp Half-Blood soon reached the tree. None of the members of the fifth cohort knew what to expect. These vines, started creeping on the ground, then wrapped around their ankles. The vines continued to wrap around then, pulling them closer to the tree. Soon they were tossed up into the air and sucked down through a hollowed section on the top of the tree. They passed through a tunnel of leaves and branches, and then a wooden tube. They landed into a dirt room. Jared and Maxwell entered last, carrying the unconscious body of Clara. Suddenley, a small slidy door opened. It was about 1 foot by 1 foot. Leo's face popped in, and took a look around. He grinned.
"Yo brochachos! It worked!" Leo yelled! A huge slidey door opened. Standing in the doorway was Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, and Nico. Behind them. You could hear the echo of someone continuosly yelling in triumphent. Phrases like 'Oh yeah! Uh-huh! Leo's da man! Check it ou! It worked' repeated and echoed. Jason stepped aside, and you could see Leo Jumping around and dancing.
"Woo Hoo! AW YEAH! Leo's da man! Who's da man! Leo ish dat man! Whoooo!" He said, then he turned around, and mumbled, "Ummm, well this is sorta awkward," he scratched the back of his head and started rolling back and forth on the heels of his feet. He whistled a little bit, "Soooo," he started. Then scratched the back of his head, "I'm Leo, you must be the Romans, ummmmmmm yeah. Wait I GOT IT! Back to Jason Grace, with battle tactics! THis has been Leo Valdez for entertainment!"
Jason shook his head, "Hey guys! Haven't seen you in a while, ummm, lets say we got PAST the icebreakers now, and we need to work on the battle plan. Anyways follow me, we have work to do," Jason and his crew turned on their heels and started to walk down the hallway.
"JASON, slight uno problemo over here," Jared managed to squeak. He seemed to be turning read, and sweating a lot. Maxwell tried to wipe the sweat off his forehead while still supporting Clara.
"Umm, who, is that?" Piper asked.
"Clara," Maxwell muttered, "Idiot centurion who took Meena's armor. She ain't one of us, some random third cohort lady."
"Right, so, what do we do with her?" Frank asked, pretending to stroke his imaginary beard.
"Oh, oh, oh! Pick me Mr. Grace! Pick me! I have an awesome idea Teacher Jason! Pick me!" Leo said jumping up in front of him with his arm raised.
"Really dude? Really MISTER Grace? TEACHER Jason?" Jason stared at him, raising one eyebrow.
"Yeah, but it got your attention right?" Leo said, smiling mischievously.
"Yes, yes it did, now what is the awesome idea Studen Leo?" Jason said, smiling. Leo continued to smile.
"Okay, we take Clara, and handcuff her arms together. The hand cuff, you might even say foot cuff her feet together. Then arm-foot cuff her right arm and left foot together. Do the same thing vice versa. Then tie her up in the big house! Complete with a mouth gag!" Leo said, standing proudly.
"Yeah, we don't have that." Frank smirked.
"Maybe in Frankworld! But in Leo world!" He smirked back, and pulled out of his toolbelt a series of hand cuffs, feet cuffs, hand and feet cuffs, a long rope, and a straight jacket. "Ta Daaaaa! Oh wait, one more thing." Leo dropped all those chains, rope, and jacket. Then pulled out a huge wooden club. "If she wakes up, BAM! knocked out cold," He finished.
"Sounds like a plan to me!" Jared said, simultaneously while him and Maxwell dropped Clara on the ground in order to do their secret handshake.
"Double for me!" The little girl Meena pipped up.
"Well, that will keep her out of the way, but we might wanna save some stuff for other prisoners," Reyna pointed out.
"No problemo! I have tons more in my tool belt!" Leo said, pulling out a bunch of cuffs and tossing em to the side, "She needs to be tied up cuz she was caught before the battle even started, and may have heard our plans! We don't want her to escape." He finished.
"Wow man!" Jason said, thumping Leo on the back, "That is the smartest thing I have ever heard you say!"
"I try, I try," Leo smiled, and winked at Reyna. Whose cheeks turned a slight hue of pink.
"Anyways let us be on our way. There is a battle raging above us right now, and we better get going! Follow Captain Leoooo!" He said marching toward the other end of the hallway, "Where are we going? To the Big house! Where are we going! To the Big House! Where are we going! Come on guys chant with me!" He turned around expectantly. The fifth Cohort all looked at reyna as if silently asking whether the kid named Leo was sane or not. Reyna inturned looked to Jason, who shrugged his shoulders.
"TO THE BIG HOUSE!" He chanted. He was followed by Piper, Frank, and Hazel. Who was then followed by Reyna, and then the rest of the fifth cohort. Chanting to the theme of Dora the Explorer all the way to the big house. Go figure.
(BTW, leo watched A LOT of dora the explorer when he was a kid, so much, its kinda creepy)
