Keith's POV

We left most of the Lions on Neptune so the Galra wouldn't see us coming. We all piled up on the Green Lion and used cloaking to arrive to Earth undetected.

We ironically landed in front of the Empire State Building, which was still standing, apart from a few broken windows. I scoffed internally, go figure Olympus would manage to somehow stay standing no matter how destroyed the world is.

Then, some Garrison cars appeared and out of them came three girls and two guys. One of them was James Griffin, my old bully.

"VERONICA!" Lance shouted, and went to hug one of the girls. They looked kind of similar, so I assumed they were related.

"Hey, Lance!" she exclaimed happily.

We introduced ourselves and got into the cars. The three Alteans, Pidge and Hunk went with Rizavi and Kinkade. While Shiro, Lance, Kosmo and I went with Griffin, Leifsdottir, and Veronica.

I zoned out and started planning my "escape". As soon as the rest were distracted, I would shadow travel to Bunker 9 to see my siblings and friends.

"We're here!" Veronica announced.

I looked at the familiar buildings that were the Galaxy Garrison. A particle barrier opened a bit to allow us entry. Once inside, Lance and Pidge went to hug their families. I saw the lost look Shiro had and felt the tears threatening to fall. Right, Adam's gone.

"Shiro, we would like to talk to you" Commander Iverson said; Shiro went with them.

Hunk was looking at the floor, most likely thinking about his family, while the Alteans were being presented to the people in charge. Shiro came back a while later with a sad expression, I figured they had told him about Adam.

"Ok, everyone" Sam Holt said. "We must return to discuss the matters at hand"

He led the team to a room. "As you know..."

I didn't listen to that. I knew Shiro always explained the plan to us afterwards in case we hadn't understood and they would be talking about the Garrison improvements anyway.

"- rest. You've had a long journey" Sam finished. He led us to a corridor and pointed to our rooms, they were similar to the Castle's.

"Keith…, can I talk to you?" Shiro asked.

Oh no, here it comes. It's always worse when you hear other people say it. It's like your only hope is torn into a billion pieces.

"Sure"

He led me to an empty corridor and looked into my eyes.

"Keith, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll just go to the point. Adam, he- he's dead"

I felt the tears flowing down my cheeks. I sobbed all over again, but this time, Shiro hugged and cried with me. After a while, I calmed down and went to my room after saying good night to him.

After locking my door, I looked at the time. It was barely 10pm, so I decided to pay a visit to the Underworld.

I shadow traveled in front of father's palace. I walked inside and the skeleton guards bowed to me. I entered the throne room in bowed before my father. Hades was sitting on his throne and his piercing gaze landed on me.

"So, you have finally returned, son. I am proud of you and of what you have accomplished" he said.

I felt pride at his words. I know he almost never is there for me or my siblings, but he had tried to improve his relationship with us, he even gave us Jules Albert. Anyways, I couldn't help always wanting to make him proud, and I felt happy I had accomplished that.

"I suppose you're here for your friend, Adam, was it?" he asked.

"Yes"

"I granted him and his companions passage through the Styx because he was nice to you. They were all just sorted into Elysium. You may visit him"

"Thank you, father" I said.

With that, I made my way to Elysium, passing by some old friends like Silena and Beckendorf in a small village. Eventually, I arrived at a hill. There was Adam, sitting on a tree branch. He was probably still trying to process the fact that gods were real and he was dead.

I approached him. "Hey Adam" I said timidly.

He turned around and a look of surprise made its way into his face. "Keith?" he asked.

"The one and only" I smirked.

"But- you're alive" he stated.

"I know"

"Then, how are you here?"

"Well, let's just say that my father owns the place"

"You mean, your father is Lord Hades?"

I nodded. "I'm a demigod, I guess you must have met some when you came in here"

"Let me guess, you're the reason why we didn't have to stay at the studio for a hundred years?"

"Yeah, I asked my father if he could spare you guys from that"

"Well, thanks. It was way too crowded in there"

"No problem", I gave a small smile.

"So, what have you been doing?" he asked.

We talked for hours until a zombie made its way to us and said that it was around midnight in the world of the living. I said goodbye to Adam, promising I'd be back later, and shadow traveled to Camp.

I felt the shadows embrace me and then let go. When I opened my eyes, I was standing in a familiar hill next to a pine tree. Below me, camp was just as I remembered it, except for the fact that it was empty.

I walked into the forest and stopped when I reached the cliff. Then, I summoned some Hell Fire and launched it at the door, opening it. Inside, I saw a side labeled 'Campers', so I went there and quietly walked inside the door saying 'Hades/Pluto'.

It wasn't too different from Cabin 13. The room was dark and gloomy; and both Hazel and Nico were sleeping in coffin-like beds. I saw another bed and laid down for a while before sleep took over me.

"KEITH!"

A shout woke me up and I opened my eyes to see a smiling Hazel hurriedly moving towards my bed. She sat next to me and gave me a hug.

A tired groan was heard from the other side of the room.

"Morning, Neeks" I greeted.

Nico buried his face on the pillow and mumbled a few uncoherent sentences before raising his head, "I'll only forgive you for waking me up at this ungodly hour because it was for a good cause"

While he slowly got out of bed, Hazel started questioning me.

"When did you arrive?" she asked.

"Last night"

Nico walked over and gave a hug. "I missed you"

"I missed you too" I said, hugging back.

There was a knock on the door. "Time for breakfast!" a voice announced, then we heard footsteps walking away.

We then headed to breakfast, where I caught up with my friends.

"Dude, you should have seen the prank we played on the Ares Cabin" Travis started.

"They got really mad, but it was totally worth it" Connor supplied. "Their reaction was funnier than when we covered Demeter's Cabin with chocolate bunnies!"

"Hey!" Katie complained.

I lost track of time while listening to them argue, until I happened to glance at the clock on the wall, which read it was already 8:30.

"Damn it, I have to get back to the Garrison!" I exclaimed.

"Are you sure you won't need extra help to get rid of the Galra?" Reyna asked.

"I'll be fine, you guys should stay here in case the Olympus situation gets serious. Take care!"

With that, I shadow traveled back to my room just as Shiro knocked on my door.

"Keith, you awake?" Shiro asked.

"Yeah, I'll meet you in the dining hall!"

Third person POV

Sam Holt was nervous, he had received a message from Chiron about the pantheons' current situation. While no attacks had happened yet, it had been confirmed by the gods that the Galra could see through the Mist.

Sam still remembered the day he found out about his godly relatives, he didn't think he was capable of ever forgetting that day.

Sam was around ten years old at the time. He was doing his math homework when a knock sounded at the door.

Both his parents shared a look, and his mother took him into his father's office room.

His father opened the door and was pushed backwards into the wall. The person, no, creature, lunged at him, but Sam's dad twisted his watch and a sword appeared. He quickly father swung the sword towards the monster and it dissolved into golden dust. Little Sam watched everything.

The sword turned back into a watch and his father put it back on. He then looked at Sam and told him to sit down. It was then when Sam learned that the Greek Gods were real and that his father was a son of Athena, making Sam a legacy of said goddess.

Back when Sam met Colleen and had Matt and Katie, he promised himself not to tell them anything unless it was absolutely necessary. When his father passed away, he gave the watch to him, in case the time came when he had to defend his family.

Sam tore up the note and threw it into the trash can; even though it was written in ancient Greek, it was still better to get rid of it. He then sighed and got up, remembering he had to update the demigods that came as pantheon supervisors about the current situation.

A/N: First of all, thanks for reading. And second, I just want to let you know that even though I'm a bit busy, I already have the story planned out, so I promise I will finish it :)
