Me: In a way, it's nice to know there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong.

Naruto: Why?

Me: For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning after it being rammed by a four arm demon beast and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; but for you it was the divine enity known as Big Baby aka Drama Queen aka Momma's Boy aka The Lord Of Pain In The Asses but his actual name is Zeus. Or Thalia case Sperm Donor.

Naruto, Thalia, Annabeth, Precy and Grover busted out laughing.

Zeus: "Really?"

Me: "Yep."

Zeus: "I hate you."

Me: Shruggs"

Aprodite and Anko: "When are the Lemons?"

Me: "When I feel like it the plot needs it."

Jiraiya: *Sitting on in window looking at Tsunade taking a bath. "Smut needs not Plot!"

Me *Throws Jiraiya with note and kunai where Tsunade is* "Now that's one Prevert dealt with."

Naruto: "Realy?"

Me: Don't get me wrong like Jiriaya but he's not needed in this story if didn't do this now Artemis would of killed you for being around him later in story."

Jiraiya's Spirit "True,"

Me: mumbles.

xxxxxxxxxxx[STORY STARTS]xxxxxxxxxxx

The five demigods walked through the woods along the New Jersey riverbank, the glow of New York City making the night sky yellow behind us, and the smell of the Hudson reeking in our noses.

Grover was shivering and braying, his big goat eyes turned slit-pupiled and full of terror. "Three Kindly Ones. All three at once."

Precy was pretty much in shock. The explosion of bus windows still rang in his ears. But Thalia, Annabeth and Naruto kept pulling him along, saying: "Come on! The farther away we get, the better."

"All our money was back there," Grover reminded them. "Our food and clothes. Everything."

"Well, maybe if you haven't notice the fight-"

Naruto coughed pulling out five bags.

"Wha...how...whe-"

"I had Argis place seal tags onto your guys bags as he unloaded them so that thrley would be sealed way into scroll if ever got five feet from them or if they were to be destored."

Grover and Precy felt better. "That's the last thing we need is us losing our suplies"

Grover held his bag with tears as he tenderly rubbed it. "Daddy's got you."

Naruto had shook his head.

They sloshed across mushy ground, through nasty twisted trees that smelled like sour laundry.

After a few minutes, Annabeth fell into line next to Precy. "Look, I…" Her voice faltered. "I want apologize for how I acted."

"We're a team, right?"

She was silent for a few more steps. "Yes, but."

"Were cool then." Precy said.

The thunderstorm had finally let up. The city glow faded behind them, leaving them in almost total darkness. Precy couldn't see anything of Annabeth except a glint of her blond hair.

"You haven't left Camp Half-Blood since you were seven?" Precy asked her.

"No … only short field trips. My dad-"

"The history professor."

"Yeah. It didn't work out for me living at home. I mean, Camp Half-Blood is my home." She was rushing her words out now, as if she were afraid somebody might try to stop her.

"At camp you train and train. And that's all cool and everything, but the real world is where the monsters are. That's where you learn whether you're any good or not." Naruto said.

"Sounds you know from ." Precy said.

"The Camp has been my home since I was four." Naruto said. "Unlike Chiron prize pupils like Jason, Achilles and Heracules. I came see him as a the father I never had."

"Why... what happen to your dad?"

"He was killed by King Arcadia."

"King-who?" Precy asked.

"The Father of Were-Hunters and the Arcadian Animals.

"What?"

"Precy going tell you the are things that the Gods don't tell you and one is that there are three things in this world that should never been born and I'm one of them."

"Like me?"

"No, Poseidon would of only broke the oath after his baby brother broke it to save his ass."

Precy looked Naruto.

"There's more than meets the eye. Precy, the Gods aren't telling you every thing Chiron can't tell the camp as he's a trainer."

"How do you know all this?"

"Two of my mother's symbols are the Sun and Moon."

"Apollo and Atremis."

Naruto nodded.

After a mile or so, they started to see light up ahead: the colors of a neon sign. Precy could smell food. Fried, greasy, excellent food. He realized he hadn't eaten anything unhealthy since Precy, arrived at Half-Blood Hill, where he lived on grapes, bread, cheese, and extra-lean-cut nymph-prepared barbecue. Precy, needed a double cheeseburger.

They kept walking until they saw a deserted two-lane road through the trees. On the other side was a closed-down gas station, a tattered billboard for a 1990s movie, and one open business, which was the source of the neon light and the good smell.

It wasn't a fast-food restaurant like he'd hoped. It was one of those weird roadside curio shops that sell lawn flamingos and wooden Indians and cement grizzly bears and stuff like that. The main building was a long, low warehouse, surrounded by acres of statuary. The neon sign above the gate was impossible for Precy as to read, because if there's anything worse for my dyslexia than regular English, it's red cursive neon English.

To me, it looked like: ATNYU MES GDERAN GOMEN MEPROUIM.

"What the heck does that say?" Precy asked.

"I don't know," Annabeth said.

She loved reading so much, he'd forgotten she was dyslexic, too.

Naruto, Thalia and Grover translated: "Aunty Em's Garden Gnome Emporium."

Flanking the entrance, as advertised, were two cement garden gnomes, ugly bearded little runts, smiling and waving, as if they were about to get their picture taken. Precy then crossed the street, following the smell of the hamburgers.

"Hey…" Grover warned.

Naruto shot a chain out of his left hand as it wrapped around Precy before pulling him back towards them.

"The lights are on inside," Annabeth said.

"Maybe it's open." Thalia said

"Snack bar," Annabeth said wistfully.

"Snack bar," both girls agreed.

"Are you two crazy?" Naruto asked as released Precy.

"What?" Thalia said.

"This place is weird." She ignored him walked away with Grover Annabeth and Precy.

Naruto began to walk as he coughed up a small bit blood. The blood sizzled like acid before evaporating into a mist.

"Damn it." Naruto said passing out.

The front lot was a forest of statues: cement animals, cement children, even a cement satyr playing the pipes, which gave Grover the creeps.

"Bla-ha-ha!" he bleated. "Looks like my Uncle Ferdinand!" The four stopped at the warehouse door.

"Don't knock," Grover pleaded. "I smell monsters."

"Your nose is clogged up from the Furies," Annabeth told him.

"All I smell is burgers." Precy said.

"Aren't you hungry?" Thalia asked.

"Meat!" Grover said scornfully. "I'm a vegetarian."

"You eat cheese enchiladas and aluminum cans," Precy reminded him.

"Those are vegetables." Grover said.

The Three demi gods ignored the Satyr.

"Let's leave... these statues are … looking at me." Grover whined.

Then the door creaked open, and standing in front of us was a tall Middle Eastern woman, she wore a long black gown that covered everything but her hands, and her head was completely veiled. Her eyes glinted behind a curtain of black gauze, but that was about all they could make out. Her coffee-colored hands looked young and well-manicured and elegant.

Her accent sounded vaguely Middle Eastern, too. She said, "Children, it is too late to be out all alone. Where are your parents?"

Grover spoke up. "Waiting for us back at the camp."

"I see, just the four of you?"

Grover looked at the group as Naruto was missing beforehe could say a word.

"Is that burgers I smell." Precy asked stopping Grover from speaking.

"Well you four must be hungery." The woman said "Come in, and straight through to the back of the warehouse, please. There is a dining area."

The warehouse was filled with more statues-people in all different poses, wearing all different outfits and with different expressions on their faces.

Precy, Thalia and Annabeth didn't see any of this as they were thinking about food.

"Um," Grover said reluctantly, "we don't have any money, ma'am."

Before Precy could jab him in the ribs, Aunty Em said, "No, no, children. No money. This is a special case, yes? It is my treat, for such nice kids."

"Thank you, ma'am," Annabeth said.

Aunty Em stiffened, as if Annabeth had done something wrong, but then the woman relaxed just as quickly.

"Quite all right, Annabeth," she said. "You have such beautiful gray eyes, child."

Their hostess disappeared behind the snack counter and started cooking. Before they knew it, she'd brought them plastic trays heaped with double cheeseburgers, vanilla shakes, and XXL servings of French fries.

Outside of Medusa Lair

Naruto woke up to a young woman with long, blond hair, blue eyes, and a very fair complexion. Her clothing consists of black leather pants, high-heeled boots, a corset, double belts, a choker, and some kind of wrist accessory he could quite make out.

"So, what's my favorite little Ma-"

"Tris not now please." Naruto said getting up.

"Any way what the fuck you do, peep on Sakura or Ino this time."

"No, side effect from the pill I took."

"Dumb ass, you knew better than take it."

"Hello, I was thrown out of a bus when Imprisoner wanted to play ram the bus." Naruto said.

The two gone into the warehouse as a horde of lesser demons consisting of Stygians, Death Knights, Hell Knights and Frost Knights.

"Damn you and your devil's luck." Tris called to Naruto.

"Yeah, shut up and start killing."

*

Thalia P.O.V. Five Mintes Earlier.

I ate my fries as I noticed, Precy was halfway through his burger, Annabeth slurped her shake while Grover picked at the fries, and eyed the tray's waxed paper liner as if he might go for that, but he still looked too nervous to eat.

"What's that hissing noise?" he asked.

Precy listened, but didn't hear anything.

Annabeth shook her head.

"Hissing?" Aunty Em asked. "Perhaps you hear the deep-fryer oil. You have keen ears, Grover."

"I take vitamins. For my ears."

"That's admirable," she said. "But please, relax."

Aunty Em ate nothing. She hadn't taken off her headdress, even to cook, and now she sat forward and interlaced her fingers and watched them eat.

It was a little unsettling, having someone stare at me when I couldn't see her face, but I had a bad feeling. but didn't pay attention to Precy whom was feeling satisfied after the burger, and a little sleepy, and figured the least he could do was try to make small talk with the hostess.

"So, you sell gnomes," he said, trying to sound interested.

"Oh, yes," Aunty Em said. "And animals. And people. Anything for the garden. Custom orders. Statuary is very popular, you know."

"A lot of business on this road?"

"Not so much, no. Since the highway was built… most cars, they do not go this way now. I must cherish every customer I get."

My neck tingled, as if somebody else was looking at me. I turned, but it was just a statue of a young girl holding an Easter basket. The detail was incredible, much better than you see in most garden statues. But something was wrong with her face. It looked as if she were startled, or even terrified.

"Ah," Aunty Em said sadly. "You notice some of my creations do not turn out well. They are marred. They do not sell. The face is the hardest to get right. Always the face."

"You make these statues yourself?" I asked.

"Oh, yes. Once upon a time, I had two sisters to help me in the business, but they have passed on, and Aunty Em is alone. I have only my statues. This is why I make them, you see. They are my company."

The way she said that made Annabeth stop eating.

She sat forward and said, "Two sisters?"

"It's a terrible story," Aunty Em said. "Not one for children, really. You see, Annabeth, a bad man wanted me, when I was young. I had a mistress, you know, and this bad man was determined to have me even I vowed to misteress stay pure. One day he and his brother came for me... My two sisters hid me...Mistress heard about the attack was deeply sadden and angery...blinded by Emotions...They shared my bad fortune as long as they could, but eventually they passed on. They faded away. I alone have survived, but at a price. Such a price."

I wasn't for sure but it sounded like her sisters were raped. Poor lady. Who would want to hurt somebody so nice?

"Percy?" Annabeth said. "Maybe we should go. I mean, the our parents will be waiting."

She sounded tense. I wasn't sure why but apart of me was telling me to snap out of it. Grover was eating the waxed paper off the tray now, but if Aunty Em found that strange, she didn't say anything.

"Such beautiful gray eyes," Aunty Em told Annabeth again. "My, yes, it has been a long time since I've seen gray eyes like those."

She reached out as if to stroke Annabeth's cheek, but Annabeth stood up abruptly. "Sorry but really we need to go."

Yes!" Grover swallowed his waxed paper and stood up. "Our psrents are waiting! Right!"

Precy didn't want to leave and I couldn't shake this feeling something was wrong like something or someone was missing.

"Please, dears," Aunty Em pleaded. "I so rarely get to be with children. Before you go, won't you at least sit for a pose?"

"A pose?" Annabeth asked warily.

"A photograph. I will use it to model a new statue set. Children are so popular, you see. Everyone loves children."

Annabeth shifted her weight from foot to foot.

"I don't think we can, ma'am. Come on, Percy-"

"Sure we can," Precy said.

"It's just a photo, Annabeth. What's the harm?"

"Yes, Annabeth," the woman purred. "No harm."

I could tell Annabeth didn't like it, but she allowed Aunty Em to lead us back out the front door, into the garden of statues. The sound of bullet cracked next to my ear before preicing a Ravager in the head followed by sword.

"Nice to see you Tree Girl."

-TBC-

Sorry for short updates I hope you like my little intro. I planned more there are reasons behind all this maddness of story.

I Kinda took the idea from one of the reviews of a guest on Posiedon but made more as Zeus's Fault.

Yes I know I'm bashing Zeus. I did take several course in history and did a lot of writing on Greek/Roman Mythology in school. Even in the actual mythology Zeus was an ass. I'll explain more of Medusa's story in later chapters as demons showing up I know having horde of demons after fight with a minor boss battle seems a little cliche but please note that everything I write does fall into place even if seems all jumbled up.
