Lance

I'll admit, Yuuko was an experienced fighter, but she still didn't have the training I had.

She ran at me, leaping into a flying kick. I easily ducked out of her path. She landed on her feet, turned, and ran at me with her fists poised into a running punch. I didn't move out of the way.

She made a punch for my chest. I deflected it with ease. She used her momentum to try a roundhouse kick. I again dodged. She kept throwing punches but I kept dodging them.

I started to back into the open forum/courtyard. The little demon was still in my hand. Yukon threw another punch. This time, I grabbed her wrist. She struggled, but I held her wrist. Hinata walked over atoo held out her hand.

I waited until she was back over by Nico then I released my grip on wasted no time as she tried to land another kick. I dodged yet again. I spun in a circle as I dodged.

While I spun, I saw the others forming a small crowd to watch. Yuuko turned to throw another punch but I grabbed her hand while it was poised back. She tried another punch, but stopped it mid-punch as well.

I heard the girls gasp. Yuuko struggled. When she realized I was stronger, she stopped.

"That was fun," I said smiling. She looked over smiling, "It was. You've got to teach me how to fight like that." I laughed.

Lady Joutoku walked over, "I have a mission for you two demigods." Nico looked up from his shadow. "Ikkou, Chitose, Sumi, Yuuko, and Hinata are going to an abandoned mansion and I need you to tag along with them." "Sure thing," I heard Nico say. Lady joutoku walked off and we were left alone with our 'team'.

Sumi made her way slowly over to me, "Do you have any other means of defense besides your hands?" I glanced at Nico, who was smirking. We walked to the centr of the courtyard.

Nico pulled out his jet black pen while I pulled out Tidal Wave. We both uncapped our pens, causing the girls to gasp as our swords instantly formed.

"Nico and I are going to have a little spar," I said without looking away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw everyone, including Ikkou, form a crowd on the far side of the courtyard. Nico took a battle stance, poising his sword like a samurai while I poised my sword the same way. We waited for the other to make the first move. It was me.

Nico and I ran at each other, clashing our swords right before we made contact. He pulled away and followed with an upward stab. I deflected his blow and tried to counter with a downward feint followed by a 360 spin slash.

He ducked and kicked me in the stomach. I stumbled back a few steps then rushed him with another feint, a stab, followed by an upward slash. I grazed Nico's jacket. He tried to slash at my sword hand. I dodged, brought my sword back, and deflected it. I kicked Nico like he kicked me, causing him to stumble back.

He didn't have time to recover. He managed to stand before I had my sword at his throat. He raised his hands in defeat. I pulled back and we capped our pens. "That was awesome," Yuuko exclaimed.

Nico and I looked over to see all the girls faces have a surprised look on their faces.

*Time Lapse*

We were standing in front of a huge old mansion. Ikkou, Sumi, and Yuuko were looking at it in fear. Chitose was going on about all the scary horror movies she saw in her village. As we walked through the halls, with weird events here and there (a suit of medieval knight's armor moved, a chandelier landed next to me) and the three scared ones jumping at every event.

"I wonder where this spirit is," Nico whispered. I stood behind him, both of us back to back. "What do you mean 'Where it is'? I thought you could always sense them," I whispered back.

We walked until we were in the main foyer. There, we saw a little girl. Chitose gasped. "What are you doing here?" She looked over and smiled, "I was having a little fun with you all." Nico caught his breath. "So you're the spirit?" I asked. She nodded and gave a laugh.

Thankfully, this spirit was a peaceful one as she ascended without a fight (it was actually a quick mission). When we got back to the temple, Nico and I headed immediately went to our room and fell asleep.

Nico

I woke up to the sound of something with a breathing problem. I looked over to see that little demon just staring at me. He still freaked me out because I once saw something like him in the Underworld.

Lance was still snoring. I pulled myself up and headed out. The girls were just chatting while the guy, Ikkou I think his name was, was doing all the chores.

Haruka was the first to notice me, "Good morning Nico." I grunted, still having the demon on my head. I was so tired I almost tripped over Ikkou. I managed to catch myself with a shadow. In the kitchen, I found some rice and some water. It was something, so I made myself a bowl of rice and poured myself a cup of water and headed to the very low table.

After my breakfast, I headed back to the courtyard. Lance was up as he was walking to the kitchen as well. Hinata walked up and took the demon from my head. I smiled a little and just relaxed. Lance was out in thirty seconds, fully awake. "I say we find some monsters," he said folding his arms.

We spent the next half hour trying to look for a monster, but the closest we found was a dark spirit. It sped off when it caught sight of me. Back at the temple, the girls were still lounging, and Ikkou looked like Lance after a huge test.

Yuuko noticed me first. She waved me over. "You look like you walked through the Naraka Realm," Sakura stated. "Considering how my dad is Hades and he invites me to spend some time in the Underworld, I think I can say that I have." She gave a quick surprised look on her face but it just as quickly vanished. Haruka piped up, "I have been wondering, what exactly is the curse of Achilles?" the other girls started wondering the same thing. I gave a sigh. "The curse of Achilles gives a person the ability to have skin like, well, titanium everywhere except for one spot."

"How does a person actually get the curse," Sakura asked with a devious look. "Only demigods can gain the curse and they have to bathe in the River Styx. If you don't have a solid anchor to your mortal life, which has to be attached to your weak spot, then you'll basically melt from existence and end up as a spirit."

Sakura had a somewhat disappointed look on her face. Sumi spoke up, "So Lance could've possibly died?" I nodded. "His brother Percy also has the curse of Achilles. The reason for why they both had to get the curse was because we had to fight Kronos the Titan of time."

Ikoou had joined the girls as they were sitting in a group like children while I was recalling the battle. "It lasted for a whole week. We lost many friends because of that war, and that's including all the other battles and missions we had to do. Percy had fought Kronos himself, who was using Luke, a demigod with the curse, as a vessel. Lance himself fought Hyperion on his own. He also took down the first empousai and atleast fifty dracanae. After the Titans we fought the Giants, a group of monsters born from Gaia to specifically fight a certain god. It took the combined efforts of demigods and gods to beat them. We almost lost though because Percy and his girlfriend, Annabeth, had to wade through monsters in their home territory Tartarus. Lance had volunteered to pull them out from Tartarus, and he succeeded."

The girls looked astonished. Sumi had asked timidly, "What incredible things have you done?" I chuckled a bit. "Well, now that's a good question. I have fought many monsters, including the ones in Tartarus as I was really the first demigod to make it out alive. There was also the time I shadow-traveled to China. I also stole apples from the Garden of the Hesperides. I've also won against Echidna, the mother to all monsters. The list goes on and on." Lance was sitting right behind Chitose and no one even noticed he was there.

"I think that we show them how much more tough the life of a demigod is," he suggested while nodding at the front gate. Everyone but Hinata jumped while I looked over to the gate. "Aw come on, I thought he would've learned his lesson," I sighed. All the girls looked over and immediately lost all color, including Hinata. The Minotaur was barely small enough to fit through the front gate.

In his hand he hefted a double-bladed Celestial bronze battle axe, the blades shaped like the Greek letter Omega. He had on the same armor as hedid in the Battle of Manhatten. I looked over at Lance, "I'll sit this one out. Still tired from walking around today." He nodded then jumped to his feet. I gave a quick smile. This was going to be interesting.

Lance

Nico sat down smirking. I stood up, sighing as I walked forward. Doesn't this guy ever learn his lesson. The Minotaur grunted when I walked closer. I looked up at the battle axe, "You know Beefhead, I'd have though you would've learned the first few times we killed you." I responded by gripping the axe with both hands.

"Let's just get this over with," I said taking a battle ready stance. He roared in anger and charged, bringing his axe back over his head. I didn't even bother to dodge. He brought the axe down in a flash of bronze. I felt the axe land on my shoulder.

If I didn't have the curse of Achilles, I would've been diced. The axe felt like a metal rod placed on my shoulder. The Minotaur grunted in surprise. I grabbed the axe shaft, and pulled with all my strength. The Celestial bronze bent and buckled until I was holding a six foot long metal shaft with the axe blade at the end.

Before he could react, I took a step forward and lobbed the axe straight towards the Minotaur's head. It landed with a wet SCRUNCH. He stumbled forward with his new horn of an axe and fell, crumbling to dust. The axe shimmered and vanished. I turned back to the group. They all had their jaws dropped. I shrugged, "That was actually an easy fight."

I walked back over and sat down next to Nico. The girls were still looking at me like I just landed from Mars while the dude trembled. "That is actually what we demigods face on a regular basis," Nico stated.

The girls stopped shivering but the guy fell unconscious. For the rest of the day, we basically relaxed. I helped train Yuuko while Nico taught Hinata and Sakura what the historians today got wrong about Greek mythology.

The sun started to set when Percy IM'd in. "Lance!" I turned to see Percy with Annabeth. "Oh hey Percy, Annabeth, what's up?" Annabeth looked like she might bust a gasket, "What's up? What's up!? We have been worried sick about you and Nico for days! Why didn't you IM saying where you were!?" Percy had to calm down Annabeth before he started. "Lance, you know how worried Mom can get. She thinks that something bad's happened. The least you could've done was send an IM." I looked back at Nico.

He shrugged. I looked back to Percy. "Sorry I wasn't able IM, but considering how I was teleported before I could tell anyone, the Minotaur causing me to lose a few minutes, and the fact that I have to help lower the pesky ghost number in Japan with these monks," I gestured back to the girls, "and the fact that they know about demigods hasn't really left me with time to call anyone." Annabeth was about to say something but hesitated. I gave a smile, "Tell Mom not to worry. I'll IM soon. Oh and if any demigod asks, I'm on a mission for Hades and Thanatos." They nodded and I slashed through the message.

I headed back over to the girls. "What was that all about," Ikkiu asked as I sat back down. "Just a message from my brother, wondering where I was." The girls had a worried look on their faces. Nico walked over, "I'm surprised Annabeth didn't chew you out more." I shrugged, "She actually yelled much less than normal." He shrugged. I laid down on my back. This place has been something.

So what you guys Think? I know I didn't go into much detail for episode 4

but I promise the next episode will be more in depth. Before anyone asks,

I will make Ikkou awaken, I just have to time it right.
