HEY GUYZ, AS PROMISED, I AM WRITING THIS ON THE SAME DAY AS CH 2, I WILL SEE IF I CAN UPLOAD IT TODAY. SO ENJOY THE START OF THE QUEST!

WE GET A WELCOME PARTY

Water splashed on my face. I checked the alarm clock, 6 am. I quickly got up and changed. Leo had worked all night and they would be waiting for me.

TIME SKIP!

I was running to the forge in an orange camp half-blood t-shirt and jeans. "Percy!" Leo yelled from the helm.

The Argo II lifted just as I hopped on deck. The Argo II had become infinitely more awesome with its refined deck, and ballistae and weaponry everywhere. "Watch this Perce!" Leo said as he wiggled his Wii controllers and suddenly the ship was enveloped in a clear misty bubble.

"We're invisible now! Cool, right?" Leo said, full of pride.

"Nice, Leo! Activate the smoke screen and the monster radar, okay? With Uranus rising, no telling what he could do." I yelled back at Leo.

Leo nodded and pressed a couple buttons as I ran down below deck. They welcomed me as I sat in a room just like the GSMH but it was bigger and didn't have the extra ten Greek and Roman representative seats. "Cool dining hall right?" Calypso said.

"Yeah. I can't believe we did all this in a night. Well, we have seven days counting today to get there so we should be fine." I said.

"Percy's right. Remember, Uranus thanked us, he is grateful. He has no wishes for us to be dead. We will go on a peaceful negotiation trip to his place." Jason said.

"Alright, but where exactly is 'his place'?" Frank asked.

"Says here on the Daedalus Tracker App, that Uranus is currently inside of the original Mt. Olympus in Greece." Annabeth said, pressing a few buttons on her Daedalus laptop which projected a 3-D map of the world. Annabeth zoomed in on Mt. Olympus. Annabeth tapped a few buttons and we could see through the mountain. Sure enough, a black figure with twinkling stars on him was sitting on a sky-blue throne with Zeus kneeling and chained by the same black lightning. The master bolt was in a cage of dark lightning. The figure turned toward us as if he could see us. Scratch that, he can see us. Uranus in Night form began to speak, "Demigods. I have waited for your return letter you know. But, it seems, you wish to wage war on me. Come, play into my traps demigods. We are no longer on peace terms anymore."

Zeus lifted his head and managed to say, "Careful my heroes! He has sent monsters to come for you. They are at your ship right no-"

Uranus flicked his hand send a dozen bright stars flying at Zeus. Black lightning swept across his mouth preventing him from speaking. "I will rise again and you cannot stop me." Uranus said. He waved his hand and the screen was filled with static.

"Damn it! That was so-" Jason was cut off by a rumble and a shake.

"Shit! The monsters Zeus told us about!" Piper shouted as she drew Katoptris.

I pulled out Riptide and ran up the stairs.

At the top Leo was… owning the monsters. Tiny gladiator machines had flown out of the ship and were attacking wind spirits. Out of nowhere Uranus in Day form appeared. A robot-gladiator tried to slice him, but Uranus simply waved his hand and BAM! The celestial bronze machine was sucked into a black starry vortex.

Four remaining wind spirits ran to their master's side. I activated my shield. "Welcome, to my domain! This is the sky, you fools. I hope you like my party." With that Uranus disappeared.

6 more wind spirits came, all in horse form. Then, 10 materialized in human form. "Oh, crap." Thalia said as she activated Aegis.

One of the horse man charged and the other nine followed. I thrust my shield upward knocking a wind spirit of his horse. I drove Riptide into the horse wind spirit. As the fallen man got up, I swung a sword stroke that went right through him. He grinned and gave me an electric punch. I fell with my head in a daze.

I got up and did something I never did before: use the water in the air. I concentrated hard. A furious tugging in my gut told me I was doing it right. As the wind spirit came closer, the tension in me broke and a trident condensed from thin air. I let out a scream as I drove my trident into him. He evaporated as I threw my trident at the two wind spirits who had Thalia cornered. I skewered them both and made another trident. In no time, I had disposed of all 20 wind spirits. "Starfish… Starfish swimming in circles…ugh…" I collapsed on the deck.

Oooooooooooooo

I woke to the soothing touch of Annabeth's soft lips. I swept my tongue into her mouth and pushed myself up. A sharp pain seared in my back, but I ignored it as I wrapped my hands around Annabeth's waist. But, pain exploded from my chest when I sat up and I groaned.

"Percy! You naughty boy! You aren't supposed to get up!" Annabeth said scolding me.

"Me? Naughty?" I asked incredulously, "You're the naughty one, kissing me when I'm asleep!"

"Well you're trying to make it a full-on make out session!" Annabeth said defensively.

"What?! I wouldn't….uh… I… would never…do…th-that…" I stammered under Annabeth's intense stormy gaze. Annabeth knew I was lying.

Normally, I would tackle my wise girl with a kiss but I didn't have the strong. Condensing water really takes the energy out of you.

Annabeth picked up a bowl filled with ambrosia. She picked up a square and I opened my mouth to eat it, but Annabeth just popped it in her mouth. "Mmmm…" She said, teasing me.

I struggled to get up, but Annabeth pinned me down. She swooped down and gave me a long kiss. She forcefully pushed open my mouth and thrust the cube of ambrosia she'd been concealing into my mouth. I moaned at the sweet taste of the ambrosia and having Annabeth's lips on mine. It was so-

"Uhh… I'll just leave then…" Came Leo's embarrassed voice from the doorway.

"Oh!" Annabeth gasped.

"Leo did you call them up yet?" Jason's voice said.

"Uhh-" Leo began.

Jason stepped into the room.

Oh crap.

"Oh…" Jason said.

Leo was laughing his head off, "Wow, Percy, you sure do recover fast. I wonder what you to were going to do. I hope it isn't naughty, but you could always use one of the private luxury rooms-"

"Shut up before I decide to make that nine on the quest become eight." Annabeth said drawing her dagger.

I sat up, but instantly sank back down. "Can we talk about this later? Leo, get the ship down to the ocean, I'll take it from there. Jason try to see if you can detect any flying monsters."

Jason nodded, "You're right, but you sure you can do it?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said as Annabeth fed me a bit more ambrosia.

"Alright, I'll go land the ship." Leo said.

With that, they left, leaving us alone again. I sprang up and pulled Annabeth down. My strength had returned thanks to the ambrosia. I swept my tongue on her lips, but she left them firmly closed. Slowly, I nibbled on her lower lip, forcing her mouth open. I invaded her mouth with my tongue as I pulled her closer with my arms.

I pulled away and the blissful moment ended. "Well, I think I have some business to attend to."

"Hmph!" Annabeth grumbled.

I chuckled and leaned in to give her another kiss on her forehead.

NO CLIFFHANGER TODAY! WELL, MAYBE THAT WAS A LITTLE CLIFFHANGER BUT YAY! I'LL POST WHEN I CAN! SEE YA!
