Percy
Lesson learned, never listen to a strange magical computer from a prankster.
In front of us stood a red and blue version of Rumble and Frenzy carrying a yellow-orange version of Laserbeak. I barely saw the mass of celestial bronze overhead as I was fixated on the two automatons.
"Where the hell are we?" the red humanoid automaton shouted.
Rumble, or I guess Frenzy, retorted, "First off, why the hell are you here, Enemy?"
"Wait, he's your enemy?" I asked, getting into a battle stance.
The red automaton responded, "No, that's my name."
"Wait," Annabeth interjected, "your name is literally 'Enemy'?"
"Yeah! Got a problem with it, blondie?" he rudely answered.
"Oh, you don't badmouth Annabeth in front of me, Enemy."
"Says who, surfer boy? 'Cause I think you look like-"
"Enemy. Cease aggression and explain you and Buzzsaw's presence." Soundwave interrogated.
"Ugh, fine. So, we were tagging along with the Seekers on a search party for you. When we went through the Spacebridge, something weird happened and we ended up here without them."
"I, ahem, may know a bit about why." I sheepishly confessed.
The orange-yellow condor, probably Buzzsaw, inquired, "You do?"
"See, heh, I may have been the one to give him the idea to open a portal back to your world, but it might have ended up intercepting your portal instead, bringing you here."
"Wait, how did that happen?" Enemy asked.
Soundwave proposed, "Perhaps the two Spacebridges were accidentally opened in the same location, overlapping and therefore interfering with the wormhole."
"Wouldn't that send us to the Shadow Zone?" Buzzsaw added.
"Perhaps the gateways were on the exact same coordinate location?"
Annabeth added, "Hold on, what's the Shadow Zone?"
"It is a limbo-like realm that can only be accessed when two Spacebridges/Groundbridges are opened in close proximity, sending any nearby to that realm." Soundwave explained.
"Oh, okay."
"Boy, glad I didn't accidentally cause a disaster, 'cause you were already on your way here, right?"
"Yeah, but we were with the Seekers... what is with the yelling?" Enemy complained.
"Yelling...?" I questioned before looking up. When I did, I saw a large mass of celestial bronze fly overhead. I could vaguely recognize it as a dragon, and it took a minute for it to click. It was Festus, Leo's dragon. And, wait, that meant that riding him was...
Leo
"Holy Hephaestus!" I shouted.
Calypso shouted back, "Leo? What's wrong? What happened?"
I pointed out, "I don't know! One minute, we were flying over California, the next we're here at... wait... it's Camp Half-Blood!"
"Camp Half-Blood? Weren't we, like, on the other side of the country?"
"We were! We just went through that strange red circle, and now we're here!"
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"I'll touch down, ask for help. Plus, I think Festus needs a break."
Calypso responded, "Good idea," with Festus chattering in agreement.
I had the old boy fly down to the beach, seeing if a welcoming committee was ready. On the beach, I could barely make out a large mass of blue metal, which was strange. Last I checked all metal demigods used were either bronze or gold, not blue.
I brushed it off as I landed on the far side of the beach. I could hear a bunch of voices on the other side, and could still see the mass of blue. I just ran over to the main part of camp, half excited to see my friends again, half confused as to how we got here.
When I got nearer, I shouted, "Hey, guys! It's me, Leo!"
"Leo?" I heard two familiar voices shout beside me.
I skidded to a stop while muttering, "What the...?" As I did, I ended up making a fool of myself and falling onto my face. I could swear I heard Calypso giggling as she followed me.
"Jason, Piper? My guy and gal!"
They shouted, "Leo!" before pulling me into a group hug.
"Leo! Where were you, what happened?" Jason asked.
I tried to explain, "Well, long story short, I-" before a hand shot at my cheek.
Piper shouted, "You idiot! Why would you pull that kind of stunt?! I thought you died!"
"Ow! Look, Piper, just let me explain myself before you resort to violence!"
"Yeah, let him explain." Calypso added, catching up to me. With one look, I realized that I forgot to help her off Festus before I took off running. I mentally cursed myself out, trying to sear it into my head that Calypso still needed help with Festus-stuff.
"Who's this?" Jason asked.
"Look. You know that time I disappeared during our quest, on the Argo II?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, I got transported to her island," I pointed to Calypso.
"Yeah, and?" Piper interrogated.
"To give you the spark-notes, she helped me get off the island, and I vowed to get her off as well, as she was trapped. When I pulled a Kamikaze with Gaea, I had put the real Physician's Cure into Festus' systems beforehand. That way, after pulling a martyrdom, he could inject it into me while flying to her island using a tracker I found. When I got there, I helped her get off the Island, and we were flying around the U.S., when we suddenly got transported to here through this red circle. And that's how I'm here alive and not well done."
"Okay, that's weird. But, weird is normal, as seen with the last three days." Piper responded.
I asked, "What do you mean?"
"Just come with us," Jason explained, "and try not to freak out."
"Okay..." I said as I followed them down to the beach.
They lead me to where the large mass of blue was, and they covered my eyes.
I complained, "Oh come on, is this a surprise?"
"Oh, it's a surprise alright, and a big one too." Piper responded.
When we got there, they uncovered my wyes. I looked up, and my soul nearly went out my backside.
I shouted "Holy Hephaestus" as I looked up at the mass of blue. Turns out, It was a giant blue robot.
