Percy was terrified. He had the portal ready and him and his friends stood right in front of it. They had their hoods up with the shadow covering their faces.

"Remember, try to keep your identity for as long as possible. Call each other by your code names. Only reveal yourself if absolutely necessary." Chaos said as he bid them farewell.

Percy ran to his dad and gave him a big hug. "I'm scared, Dad." He whispered so only his father heard.

"You'll be fine, Percy. The gods don't hate you. And neither will your friend. You'll see, Zeno, you just have to go. Everything will be alright in the end." He whispers back. Percy nods and goes back to where he was standing, between Luke and Zoë.

He closes his eyes so both him and Eli can be in control. Eli said something about wanting to see Olympus with his own eyes... or... eye. The others notice the change with the way his bracelet slightly glowed before turning into a mix of black and red and a small tint of a dark sea-green.

They all step forward into the portal and then showed up in the Olympian throne room.

They were in the middle of a meeting. It seemed like a sad one based off everyone's expression. Percy took this time to look around the throne room. All the gods and goddesses were in their respective thrones talking lightly but loud enough to be heard. Percy wasn't paying attention. Especially when he looked at the dark throne which sat Hades. But that wasn't what caught his attention. It was the dark haired boy sitting in a black bean bag on the floor leaning against his father's throne.

This made Percy even more nervous until he heard his name.

"Percy has been missing for four years and we still can't find him? I mean sure he wanted to be alone but I didn't think we was this good at hiding.

Percy's mismatched eyes scanned the person who said that and recognized it to be Lady Artemis. He quickly looks at Zoë then back up. This is when Athena finally notices them.

"Who are you?"

"I am Zeno, son of Chaos. My father sent us here because he heard you needed help against Tartarus." Percy tells them. Eli stills feels weird saying that but knows he has to if he wants to stay half in control. Partly because it makes Percy feel a little better.

Nico looks up from the floor and looks at Percy. Percy glances at him before quickly looking back to the gods.

The gods were a little stunned. They didn't expect the son of Chaos to come help in the war.

"And who are the people beside you?" Zeus asks from his throne.

Percy steps back and allows his friends to introduce themselves to the gods. Luke steps up first.

"I am Íroas."

"Hey my name's Swyna." Silena.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Forge." Beckendorf.

"Hello, I'm Hunter." Zoë.

"And I'm Angel." Bianca.

"We are the leaders of sections one through six." Luke states.

"Are there more of you coming?"

"Nah, most likely not. Our sections are fighting two other wars at the moment on planets Urawei and Nepluma? I think that's right."

"I see."

"Where will you be staying?" The goddess of marriage asks.

"Camp Half-Blood. I can make a cabin for us."

"Why do you sound like that?" Athena asks Percy. At first he's confused because he's gotten so used to him and Eli talking like this. "Oh, yeah, I forgot. I sort of got two people in my body right now. That sounds weird no matter how you put it. But yeah there's two of us."

"How did that happen."

"Oh— uh, there was this wizard you see? He did this. But he's dead so I don't know how to fix it."

Athena nods her head in understanding.

"Well we must be going now if you don't mind."

"Wait!" The god of the Underworld calls out. "Can you take my son, Nico with you? He shouldn't be shadow-traveling so much."

"I'm fine, Dad, honest. I just have a lot to do."

"I know Nico but sometimes you should take a break. You may want to stay in camp while the war's going on though."

"Yeah, okay."

Hades looks back at the Chaos warriors. "So can you take him?"

"Yeah, of course." Nico walks up to them and stands a little bit away. "You may get a bit nauseous because this is a bit different than shadow-traveling." Nico nods his head and Percy gestures for him to go ahead. He hesitantly steps forward into the portal and the Chaos warriors step in right after.

"Wait! We have a question for you."

Percy looks back at Zeus with an eyebrow raised even though he can't see it.

"We wanted to know if you've seen a man named Perseus Jackson anywhere."

Percy goes still, not knowing how to answer this question. After thinking it over with Eli he decides to tell them the truth. Or most of it at least.

"I have seen him. And he's still alive if you want to know."

The gods immediately relax and some even have smiles in their faces.

"Can you tell us anymore?"

Percy shakes his head. "I'm afraid I cannot. But he's doing well. He's better."

"Good."

And with that Percy steps through the void portal to Camp Half-Blood.

Let's just say, Percy wasn't ready to come back. At all. He saw the campfire and memories started going through his head, too fast to make them stop. He shakes his head and tries his best to push the thoughts away and catch up to his friends who are in the middle of a big crowd of demigods.

Percy goes to stand next to his friends and the voices of the campers get louder.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you here?"

"Are you gonna kill us?"

Percy almost laughed at that one, despite his panicky state. Percy's bracelet glowed a faint light and turned black, signaling Eli went away. He didn't want to talk to the campers. But neither did Percy.

The campers go silent when they saw the bracelet glow, thinking it was some sort of weapon. But it only turns into a bow and Percy is still terrible at it. Eli tried to teach him and tell him how to do it, but that didn't work.

One camper finally spoke up. "What the hell was that?"

"My bracelet."

"Oh, well, no Styx Sherlock! I meant the glow."

"I know what you meant. I just didn't feel like answering."

"Zeno play nice for now, okay. We just got here." Silena tells him. Percy looks at her and sighs in defeat.

"Okay then. I'll try my best." He puts his hand up to his forehead in mock salute. "Promise."

"You better do more than try. Or I will tell your father about that thing you stole. You remember that?"

"Oh, um, uh.. okay. You don't know what it was do you?"

"No, but I could always find out."

Percy shook his head. "No, I don't think you should."

"Will someone just answer the question already!"

The warriors blinked. "I forgot we were here."

Bianca patted Luke's shoulder shaking her head. "Honestly Íroas you weren't even the one arguing. How'd you forget we were here."

"I don't know!"

"Okay, shut up, we got questions to answer." Percy adds under his breath, "Even though I would rather just leave them to die."

Zoë who had heard him punch him in the arm.

"Damn lady! That hurt!"

"Well maybe you should keep your mouth shut."

Percy rolls his eyes with a slight smile on his face. "Okay so to answer your question we are here to help you in the war. And we will not be killing you... unless you get on my nerves but that's a conversation for another time."

"Okay, then what's your name?"

"I am Zeno. The idiots next to me are Íroas, Swyna, Forge, Hunter, and that's Angel." He said pointing to each one.

"Are those your real names?"

"For them, no." Percy says. "They are code names but I go by four different names. Well three ones some sort of nickname."

Zoë snickers when she thinks of the nickname she gave for when Percy and Eli are out at the same time.

"Perli." She whispers so only the warriors can hear her.

"What are your three names?"

He looked at the camper that he identified to be Piper McLean. Percy wasn't sure how to react to seeing her but his friends saw him go still.

It took him a few seconds until he responded.

"I will tell you two but not my third. It's like top secret." It's really not but they don't know that. "As you know my name is Zeno which was given to me at birth. My name ended up being changed after a few years which is the name I will not be telling you. The other name isn't really mine I get called it by accident when people can't open their eyes correctly." He stares right at Luke and gives a nervous chuckle. "I get called Eli."

"Why Eli? Is there someone that looks like you or something and he calls you that to get on your nerves?"

"It's... or something. As of right now he looks exactly like me. But it may get confusing so let's just leave it at that."

The campers looked like they wanted to ask more questions but Chiron came running by.

"Sorry I could not come sooner. Some campers got me caught up."

Some of the demigods grumble and some even have angry faces when Chiron said that. Percy heard a few campers say Annabeth's name making Percy go still once more and bring back a lot of bad memories.

"Zeno?" Beckendorf tries to get his attention but Percy just stands there with his head slightly down.

"I uh, I have to go. I'll meet up with you guys later."

Percy flashes himself somewhere near the edge of the border and walks through the forest. He stops when he sees a dark shadow speed off to the left of him. Percy turns to follow the shadow.

He notices it going off to the beach and Percy continues on his way there. He stops when he see the water. The waves washing against the land. He looks at the shore and sees a figure sitting down in the sand. As he got closer he finds out it's the person he was afraid would hate him. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk to him but he didn't want to find out.

He didn't want to find out that Nico hates him.

But of course, Percy didn't get a chance to decide when he accidentally stepped on a branch and Nico stood up and whirled around to face him.

Percy puts his arms up in surrender, silently telling him he means no harm. Nico looks down at the sand then back up to Percy.

"Poseidon told me you know Percy."

Well shizz. I don't know what to do with that so I'm just gonna go...

Wait! Eli, don't leave. Please. I need you.

I'll come back out if you need me to, but right now this is something you got to do on your own.

"Styx." Percy grumbles. He feels Eli go to sleep and leaves him all alone.

"What?" Percy snaps his head back up to Nico. "What happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing just, someone left and yeah. Never mind. But yes, Poseidon spoke the truth. I know Percy Jackson."
