REYNA

Reyna rubbed her temples with a sigh. She then looked up at the group of people surrounding her. To her left were Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and the girl Calypso. To her right were Frank, Hazel, Jason, and Piper. She recalled just what had happened to put her in this situation.

FLASHBACK

She and Frank were talking about new improvements to the legion, when a massive BOOM rocked the world. She looked up to the sky, to see a massive cloud of smoke. Trailing from it were four lines of smoke. The debris at the ends of the lines crashed in the valley surrounding the camp. Well, three of the four did. The other one went further and landed outside the valley. She and Frank looked at each other, and made haste to the sight of one of the crashes. They came across a small crater, with two people at the center, surrounded by crumbling chains. Frank gasped next to her, then quickly ran back to camp to get people to go to the other crash sites. It took Reyna a little longer to realize why. Then she saw who the two people were, and she gasped as well. It was Jason and Piper.

FLASHBACK END

And now they were here. Everyone had gotten together in the praetor's office, and told her and Frank what had happened so far. Then, they realized that they were missing somebody. She had immediately sent out search parties to look for the extra person. That had been an hour ago. A camper dressed in armor had just given her a report.

"Any news?" Percy asked. Reyna shook her head.

"Nothing." She said. Percy looked down. Annabeth scowled. Jason looked over at her.

"What's wrong Annabeth?" He asked. She shook her head.

"Nothing." She said. Percy looked up at her. He looked about to say something, when the door opened again. In walked Nico Di Angelo.

"I heard everyone decided to 'drop in', so I decided to pop by to see what's up." Percy, Jason, Piper, Leo, and Annabeth were stunned.

"Nico, was that a joke?" Jason asked In surprise. Nico nodded.

"Yeah, what do you think?" He asked with a grin.

"What happened to you man?" Percy asked. "You seem happier." Nico's grin grew wider.

"Therapy. Lots and lots of therapy." He said. Then, he got down to business. "Now then, I heard you lost a team member. Any luck?" Everybody shook their heads. Then, Leo just got that I've got an idea that I cant believe I didn't think of before face.

"Calypso, you're a sorceress, right?" He asked. Calypso nodded, then recognition spread across her face.

"Yes, but I haven't used my powers since we escaped from Ogygia." She replied. "I don't know if they will work."

"Well, you need to try. It might be the only way to find A.J" Leo said. Calypso nodded.

"OK." She then turned to Reyna. "Do you have a loom?" She asked.

A.J

A.J opened his eyes, and hissed with the pain. He felt that the entire front of his body was on fire. He sat up and looked around. He was on the side of a road, in a small crater in the gravel. He inspected himself, and found that his clothes were burned to rags. He sighed, and stood up. Immediately, the few chains that covered his back fell to the ground. A.J looked up at the sky. He saw the remainder of the ball of smoke that was once the Argo III.

"Alright, now what to do?" A.J asked himself. He looked around. "Which direction should I go in?" He looked in each direction, in order to try and find any clues. Yet he found none. He screamed in frustration, and keeled on the ground. He clutched his hair and screamed harder and louder. He finally stopped to catch his breath, and by the time he did, he was feeling a whole lot better. As he sat there panting, he looked over at the chains that fell from his body. Suddenly, A.J smirked. "Methinks we have an idea." He said. Suddenly, a single chain sprouted from his chest and shot towards the right of him. He looked in that direction, shrugged, and began walking.

FRANK

Frank and Hazel were waiting around with the others while Calypso was setting up to search for A.J. Just then, Leo walked into the room.

"Well, Calypso's all settled in now, so we just have to wait." He said. Frank nodded.

"That reminds me." He said. He walked over to Leo, picked him up by the front of his shirt, and slammed him against the nearest wall. "What the heck man!? We all thought you were DEAD!" Leo flinched back as Frank shouted in his face.

"Okay man, I'm sorry!" Leo said. "Its totally my fault. I was taking a vacation and lost track of time." Frank slammed him again.

"HOW CAN YOU EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT!?" He shouted. Hazel ran up and placed her hands on Frank's shoulders.

"Calm down Frank." She said gently. "Please, just put him down." Frank stood there panting for a second, then he slowly placed Leo on the ground.

"If you...ever...do that again, I'll beat you so bad, not even your dad will recognize you." Frank said slowly. Then he grinned and gave Leo a bear hug. "That said, it's great to see you again man." Just then, Calypso burst into the room. Frank saw that she was quite rattled.

"What's up Calypso?" Leo asked. Calypso took some deep breaths. Then, when she was calm enough, she tried speaking.

"You all need to gear up. Now." She said. Frank let Leo go.

"Why, what's going on?" He asked. Calypso took in another deep breath.

"The Trojan Dragons have been spotted near the camp border. They are heading this way." Annabeth gasped.

"The Trojan Dragons are coming here?" She asked. Calypso nodded. Percy looked from Annabeth to Calypso and back.

"Hang on, what are the Trojan Dragons?" He asked. Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"How did I know that you would be the one to ask me that?" She said. Then, before Percy could respond: "The Trojan Dragons are a pair of dragons that Poseidon created to kill Laocoon so he wouldn't warn the Trojans about the Trojan horse." Annabeth said. Percy got a look of half understanding. Then he cursed.

"Thanks again dad." He said. Frank gave him a pat on the back for support. Percy looked back at Calypso. "How do you know about them? I thought you were on Ogygia during the Trojan War." Calypso scowled.

"I dated Odysseus, remember?" She said. Percy nodded.

"Right, sorry." Percy said. "Next question, why here? Why are the Trojan Dragons coming here?"

"I don't know, and unfortunately we don't have any time to figure it out. They're almost here." Calypso said. Percy nodded, and ran off to confront them. He was followed by Leo, Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel. As Frank and Jason ran off, Frank called over his shoulder.

"Did you find who you were looking for?" He called back.

"No, but I'll keep looking." Came Calypso's reply.

PIPER

When Piper finally arrived at the place where the dragons were, she gasped in astonishment. They were bigger than she could have imagined. Each one of them was taller than the hall she just left, and thicker around than the road she ran down to get here. Each curved claw was bigger than she was. Yet, as she watched, one of them burst into dust. She looked around, and saw that everyone was standing next to her in a line. She looked out at the dragon, and saw that there was nobody out there. Suddenly, she saw a black silhouette leap onto the back of the remaining dragon. The dragon began to writhe as if in pain, and the silhouette leaped clear from the dragon's back. The silhouette landed a few feet in front of her, and it was then that she realized it wasn't just a silhouette. It was...

"A.J?" Piper asked. Sure enough, the son of Hestia himself grinned over at her.

"In the flesh." He said. Then he looked at Leo. "And we really need to discuss your engineering skills." The dragon behind him roared. A.J immediately went over to Percy. "First things first, though." He handed Percy a thick chain. "Hang on to this, and when I tell you, pull on that chain as hard as physically possible." Percy nodded dumbly.

"You got it." He mumbled. A.J grinned and whirled on the dragon.

"Then let's get to it." (AN: Upcoming part has slight gore. You have been warned.) A.J then charged at the dragon, who blew a stream of flames at A.J. He simply ran right through the flames, and continued to charge the dragon. The dragon lifted it's front left leg, as if it were going to try and stomp on A.J. As it brought the leg down, A.J slid like a baseball player. The foot missed him entirely, and instead slammed down on his sword, which he had left there. The dragon roared in pain and raised the leg again. As the leg went past him, A.J reached up and pulled the sword from its foot. A stream of sand began to flow out of the wound. A.J then stabbed his sword into the other leg, and began climbing. The dragon reared onto its hind legs. Then, it unfurled its wings and took off. A.J kept climbing, and soon made it to the back. He then began climbing up the monster's head, and moved to one side. He turned to Percy and the others, who had by now each taken hold of the chain. "NOW!" He shouted, and then he jumped of the dragon's head. Immediately, everyone began heaving on the chain with all their might. A.J had timed it perfectly. The dragon moved its head over to look at him, and as it did, its eye passed right beneath him. It was at that moment that the chain, which wasn't present on A.J, appeared, and dragged him down with his sword at the ready. He went through the dragon's eye in an explosion of flesh and juice. A minute later, the opposite eye exploded, and midst a shower of dragon brains and blood, A.J tumbled out. He stood up and dusted off the sand that all the gore had become, then grinned at everyone. "Well, what do ya think?" Then, his eyes rolled up to the back of his head, and he passed out.

AN: Hey, so sorry if this seems rushed, but I had to get this done. Also, its been kinda bugging me about how I'm writing this. Should I continue doing central third person, or should I switch to first person? Let me know what you guys want. If nobody says anything, then I'm going to do what I feel would be easier. Not necessarily better, but easier. Other than that, please review anyway. I need to know if anybody likes my story. Thank you.
