HEY GUYZ! WASSUP! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND CHAPTER (DUH) BASICALLY RANDOM FLUFF AND PREP FOR THE MISSION. AND YEAH, SO READ THE STORY.

HEY GRANDMA!

"Gods of Olympus, we are so dead." Nico said gravelly.

"We've still got a chance, Kronos beat him and so can we." I said trying to be optimistic.

"Let's spread the word; I'll tell the Reyna, Percy alert the others, and Nico tell Hades." Jason said, regaining his posture.

I nodded and got up. Soon, in about five minutes, I had gathered them and we headed towards the Hephaestus forges. Just when Leo looked about satisfied with his triple thickened, ultra enchanted, smoke screen, celestial bronze plating, I said, "Double its thickness. Add 20 hidden Greek fire ballistae. Make a couple guard machines and a concealed dock/landing place in the hull."

"What in Olympus are we up against!?" Leo said incredulously.

"Uranus is back." Jason said.

"No way! He can't b-" Leo started.

The sky rumbled and for the first time lightning struck, but it wasn't Zeus's lightning. The lightning was black and enveloped with an aura of hatred. A chunk of the blue sky fell. Like literally fell. As the piece of sky fell, it landed smack in front of Leo who said, "Or maybe he can come back…"

The blue piece of 'nothing but everything' changed into a note. Leo took a pair of celestial bronze tweezers and cautiously picked it up. He began to read, "Hello, my great grandsons and great-great grandsons! I thank you and Olympus for ridding me of my unfaithful son and treacherous wife. Now as they have all gone to Tartarus, I can finally resurrect and wake. Even at a hundredth of my power I have managed to send this little note through your puny barrier. Again, Thank you for your help, but Zeus has taken my spot in the sky so I am afraid I must take him down at the winter solstice in a week to regain my position. Tell the gods to leave Olympus and dwell with demigods, for I intend to use Olympus as my Royal palace once again. Wish me a happy resurrection and rest!"

"Gods of Olympus!" Jason exclaimed.

"He's gonna take over Olympus and kill Zeus! Holy Hephaestus! We gotta leave tomorrow!" Leo said.

"I'm gonna get the Roman Vulcan demigods to come and help." Piper said,

"I'll provide celestial bronze and imperial gold." Hazel said, already summoning a patch of shiny celestial bronze."

"I'll summon the spirit of Beckendorf to help." Nico said.

"Everyone else, pack, prepare, and battle plans." I commanded.

"Nico, you'll have to stay behind since it says nine not ten. Four children of the Big Three would sent every monster in a hundred mile radius after us. Shadow travel though, alright? Check out news in the underworld. And stay alive." Thalia said, blushing deep crimson.

Nico frowned and looked as if he was trying to read Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with his Dyslexic eyes. "Sure." He said, looking as though he was uncertain.

I stifled a laugh and Annabeth coughed.

"So…we should get going." Jason said.

"Jason you should ask Reyna for weaponry. Frank, Annabeth, we'll hold a council. Thalia, you can go get some practice in because without Artemis's blessing, your skills in archery will disappear without practice. The rest of you pack armor and potions." I said as I led Annabeth and Frank to the river. I flicked my wrist and the water soared up to create a sphere of water with three water chairs and a table. The sphere opened up and we walked in and took a seat.

"Alright, Wise girl, what do you think Uranus is up to? He could've just burned our whole camp if he wanted." I said playing with the water.

"It's probably a repeat of the 'You-are-stupid-pawns-which-I-need-to-sacrifice-on-sacred-ground-to-get-full-power' plan." Annabeth said pulling out her Daedalus laptop.

"Yeah, that would work, in fact, since Gaea and Kronos are both in the Abyss, it would mean Uranus could usurp both their powers. I think it's been done before. In the civil war, a child of Mars took the strength and essence of a Hermes child after he killed him." Frank added.

"Then, Uranus would have two giant containers of Kronos and Gaea essence?" I questioned.

"Yes, Seaweed Brain. He would have to reach at least half power to activate the essences and become virtually invincible and unstoppable." Annabeth said.

"Let's hope that he can't reach half power in a week or he doesn't have the essences-" I said, when Annabeth interjected, "Oh, he has the essences and he will reach half power at exactly a week."

"Then we have a prob- WHAT IN TARTARUS IS THAT!" I shouted.

A raven flew at the sphere increasing in size by the second. It looked oddly familiar. The wings were replaced by old wrinkle hands and soon, it revealed someone who we thought was dead… Frank's grandma. "G-Gr-Grandma!" Frank ran over and hugged his Grandmother as tight as he could.

"Fai Zhang! Men to not show weakness! Give your old lady some air to breathe!" Frank's grandma scolded, but I could see she was happy to see her grandson.

"I couldn't get access to Camp Jupiter, but I followed you and when they sky fell, it made a hole in the magic barrier which I went through. I see you have found even more friends. You can call me Grandma! Wait… Where's that Levesque girl? Did you dump her! Fai Zhang! I told you that you need strong women!" Grandma said, irritated and angry.

I stifled a laugh as I said, grinning, "Just like the ol' days."

Frank's face turned as red as blood. It took a few minutes but Frank explained everything.

"That's m'boy!" Grandma said slapping Frank on the back.

"Take down Uranus as Grandma's last wish alright? I'll pass soon, but don't you worry, Fai, this old dog's still got some life in it!" Grandma said.

"There are empty cabins everywhere, I'll take you to Chiron." I said.

"Yeah, besides we know exactly what Uranus is doing." Annabeth said.

oooooooooooooooo

Soon, Chiron had everything sorted out and had heard Grandma's story from escaping the fire, Raven mode to following in through the hole in the barrier.

Grandma would be in the Hermes cabin and would have permission to Camp Half-Blood facilities as much as any demi-god.

We called another meeting at the GSMH and Annabeth explained what we believed was happening. "Look, it says here that the essences of Kronos and Gaea where whisked away from Tartarus. Then, 10,000 pounds of pure celestial bronze and imperial gold alloy were stolen. These are what he needs to encase the essences and transfer them into himself. He has the essences and equipment. We have to arrive before the winter solstice or else he will have the exact amount of power to activate the transfer machine."

"Well, we could steal the essence and fill ourselves with it." Leo suggested.

"Yeah, but it'll kill anyone who tries to take it. That much power? Only the children of the Big Three stand a chance of living, even for them, they can combust too." I said.

"Let's get back to work guys, we'll have to leave first thing in the morning." Jason said.

It's time to kick some serious Sky Lord butt.

YAY! THE QUEST IS STARTING! AND SO IS THE NEXT CHAPTER! I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET CH 3 UP TODAY! PM OR LEAVE A REVIEW AND THANKS! I WOULD APPRECIATE CRITICISM! NO, YOU DIDN'T HERE ME WRONG, I WOULD ACTUALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU POINT OUT THINGS I SHOULD CHANGE! THANKS GUYZ!
