AN: Hey! I've been writing all weekend but I didn't have any access to the internet, so I'm going to put up 4 chapters at once! Please read and enjoy! And would it kill you to review? I mean really, if you like it review, if you don't like it review anyway and say so. Maybe if you tell me whats wrong with it, I'll be able to fix it for you. Anyway, please read, enjoy, and review!

Upon walking out of the apartment building and reaching the curb, the group hailed a taxi. If the onlookers new who these people really were, they'd have found this whole sight strange. How many ancient Greek gods- that were thought to be myths, by the way- do you see outside an apartment building in Manhattan waiting for a taxi?

After their drive, which was surprisingly short for the mid-afternoon traffic, they stood looking up at the Empire State Building.

"Is Olympus really above this building?" Isabell asked wondering how a mountain top could possibly be hanging over a building and not get noticed.

"Yep," Percy confirmed putting his hand on his daughter's shoulder, also gazing up at the top of the building.

"Well, well, you lousy hero, it looks like you've lived much long than you should have!" cackled a long time enemy of Percy's.

The group turned to face a fury that was cracking her whip.

"Ms. Dodds," Percy growled "What do you want? Do you really want me to destroy you yet again?"

"There is no way you can beat me again, godling, even with your god friends here!" she said cackling again.

"What do you mean?" asked Poseidon as Percy uncapped riptide.

"Fine, I'll tell you, since there is absolutely no way you can prepare to face us. My sisters aren't the only ones on their way!"

"What?" yelled Annabeth over the sound of the other furies wings as they land on either side of their sister. Just then a hydra came around the street corner running over a hot dog stand. For some odd reason, there weren't any mortals around. The two gods summoned their weapons and went straight to work. Annabeth pulled out her knife and was about to go into battle when Percy caught her arm and pulled her back.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.

"Into battle! Duh!" Annabeth answered.

"No you're not!" Percy exclaimed "There's no way I'm letting you fight!"

"Yes I am!" Annabeth yelled at Percy trying to yank her arm free.

"Annabeth, honey!" Athena yelled "As much as I hate to admit it, Percy's right. You need to sit this one out. Go wait in the lobby."

"Fine," Annabeth growled. "Come on Isabell."

"No!" shouted Poseidon "We need her here!"

"You do?" Isabell asked "But I don't know how to fight! I don't even have a weapon!"

Poseidon made a sword appear and tossed it to Isabell. "Here, now you do."

"But I still don't know how to fight!" Isabell screamed as she caught the sword and one of the furies came at her.

"If you're truly your father's daughter, then you won't have any problems fighting with a sword." Poseidon informed.

Isabell struggled to dodge the fury as it came at her again.

"Isabell!" Percy yelled "Dump that bottle of water on your head!" He told her as he motioned towards the door where her mother was trying to get her attention.

Isabell ran to get the bottle of water from Annabeth. "What do I do with this?" she asked her mother.

"Do what your father told you, dump it on your head!" Annabeth prompted.

"Why what's it going to do?" Isabell asked.

"Isabell! Hurry up and get back out here!" Percy yelled.

"It should energize you and help you with your fighting" Annabeth told her.

"But it's just plain old water!" Isabell insisted.

"And your father is the son of the sea god! Just do it and go!" Annabeth yelled.

Isabell gave in and dumped it on her head. Immediately she felt energized like she'd just had six cups of double espresso. She noticed everything happening around her. She saw that her father was fighting all three of the furies on his own while the gods attacked the hydra. Percy and Poseidon were also putting out all the fires the monsters started. Isabell saw that her father was starting to lose his energy and focus, so she went to help him.

As soon as she started to fight at her father's side it started to rain, putting out all the fires the two that had power over water had missed. Her father immediately regained his strength and fought with renewed energy. Suddenly a figure appeared on the other side of Percy.

"Hey, Percy!" Isabell heard the figure say as it went to work fighting the third fury.

"Hey Nico!" Percy said as he continued to fight the head fury.

Suddenly Nico stopped fighting and stepped back.

"What are you doing?" I yelled to him "You have to keep fighting!"

Nico looked over to where she was fighting like he was just noticing her. "Hey," he greeted, "Who are you?"

"This is my daughter, Isabell." Percy grunted as he slashed at the fury. "Isabell, this is Nico."

"Yeah I got that!" I yelled again.

Nico laughed "Well, she certainly has your attitude!"

"Would you stop laughing and fight!" I was still yelling.

"Oh, I can do better than that!" Nico exclaimed. "I, Nico, the son of Hades, command you to stop fighting and tell me why you are here!"

The furies suddenly dropped their whips and stepped back.

"We were sent by our lord." The head fury told Nico.

Percy looked at Nico for answers. Nico shrugged.

"Why did he send you?"

The fury cackled "Why would I tell you? I should be destroying you!"

"And if father found out about it, he would banish you to the depths of Tartarus for all of eternity!" Nico yelled. "Tell Me!" When the Furies still wouldn't tell him he again yelled, "I'm the King of the Dead! I'll personally banish you do the depths of Tartarus! Tell me!" Nico stepped forward his black eyes gleamed with hatred.

"He wants her killed!" The fury finally coughed the information up, pointing at Isabell.

"Why would he want that?" He asked as Percy pulled his daughter into his arms and Nico stepped in front of her.

"Can't you figure it out?" laughed the fury. When Nico starred at her blankly she added "Is it really fair for Poseidon to have a half-blood granddaughter before Hades? Poseidon and Zeus always get everything first!" The fury hissed.

"Then tell him to come and talk to me himself! And if he, or anyone else harms Isabell I'll personally kill them!" Nico yelled at the fury, "Now be gone!"

The fury hissed.

"I said Be Gone! And take your hydra with you!" Nico was still yelling.

The gods walked over to the three of them as the monsters disappeared.

"Everyone all right?" Poseidon asked. He looked at Nico, who was cold and wet from the pouring rain. "I take that as a no." He reached out and touched Nico's arm. Nico was instantly warm and dry.

"Anyone know why they attacked us?" Annabeth asked as she stepped back outside.

Nico, Percy, and Isabell looked at each other.

"Mom," Isabell said as she ran to hug her now soaked mother.

"You know don't you, honey?" Annabeth whispered. She was dry from the moment her daughter touched her. This was a power she definitely got from her father.

Percy walked up and hugged them both. "Annabeth," he sighed "Hades sent them. They were after Isabell."

"What?" Athena yelled "He's as good as dead!"

"Uh, Athena," Poseidon said, "I thought you were the goddess of wisdom. First of all he's a god, an immortal god. Second of all, he's the god of the dead."

"I know that you stupid sea god!" Athena shouted. "I wasn't being literal!"

"Hey!" Nico screamed to be heard over the arguing gods "I thought you were supposed to be going to a meeting on Olympus."

Poseidon and Athena swore in ancient Greek in unison before running into the Empire State Building and going up the elevator.

"Well, Nico." Percy said as he pulled away from the girls, "Will you be joining us on Olympus?"

"Uh, sure, I guess," He agreed, "But, Percy, can I, uh, talk to you first?"

"Sure, man," Percy responded, "You girls go on ahead."

"So, what is it?" Percy asked as they sat on a bench. Percy had formed an air bubble around them to keep them dry. Immediately Nico stood up and started pacing around the bubble. "Dude, you look really stressed. Wait, this isn't about Isabell is it? I mean, it really doesn't matter if your dad wants her dead. He's wanted me dead for years and yet here I still am." Percy looked at Nico who was shaking his head.

"No it wasn't that." Nico said "I know that'll blow over, it always does. It's something else. I was actually on my way to talk to you about it, when I found you in battle. I had forgotten about it until the fury brought it back up, and I remembered where we are." He motioned around himself.

"The battle? Nico is that what this is about? The battle has been over for fifteen years now." Percy didn't understand.

"No, not the battle. This is where I first fell in love with her." Nico whispered.

"Oh." Percy said quietly finally understanding.

Nico stopped pacing and turned to face Percy, "Percy, I haven't even proposed to her yet and…"

"I understand." Percy said "Annabeth is, too. I really think you should propose soon. She already has a lot bet on you. She quit the hunters for you."

"I know!" Nico groaned "She just told me, and I freaked out and shadow traveled over here. I didn't even say anything other than 'uh'."

"Oh," Percy said "I see… Do you know what? You should go up and ask Zeus's permission right now!" Percy got excited and grabbed Nico's arm to lead him up to Olympus.

"Whoa, Percy" Nico said, "I didn't agree to this."

"Do you really think Zeus of all people- gods, whatever- would appreciate your popping the question and then asking him about it? I had to ask Annabeth's dad, Athena, and my dad before I could propose to Annabeth. I still had to beg our Olympian parents. You have a lot of work to do to get Zeus to agree."

"Fine." Nico agreed as he allowed himself to be led off to the Empire State Building and up to the 600th floor. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the elevators as he and Percy joined Annabeth and Isabell on their way to the throne room on Olympus.
