"Well, everyone is here" I said. There were about four hundred people here, to help our cause. One hundred fifty were average warriors, well trained and well organized. Another hundred fifty were magic warriors. They were well trained in using various spells and magic, along with fighting skill. The last hundred were medics. "Okay, everyone. We are going to be driving to New York, the city, in buses. Between us emperors, we assigned everyone into groups of ten. Warrior groups will be five magic and non magic warriors, and medic groups will be ten medics. These will be battle groups. You will be fighting with each other, and defending each other's lives. Get loaded up, and get to know your group" Mei concluded. As for us leaders, we were going in a larger car, so we could experiment with some different ideas. Hazel, Frank, and Zhi Ruo were taking turns driving, and since our bus was a renovated one, there were no seats, and instead a space to practice fighting skills, a bathroom, and a soundproof place to sleep. "So, how well trained are you guys, and what is your general background?" Zhi Ruo asked.

"Well Zhi Ruo" Magnus started saying, before he was interrupted by Zhi Ruo "Please do not call me by my Chinese title name. The only reason that I ever use that is during formal meetings. Call me Lili". "Okay then, Lili, I was never officially trained in combat. I am an einherjar, a technically dead Norse warrior. When I died, I was picked by a Valkyrie to become a warrior for Ragnarok. So, I have enhanced strength, speed, etc. My combat training was me being tossed into battle against things like dragons or other warriors, until I learned how to not be killed in the first twenty minutes" Magnus calmly concluded. "Well, I am a daughter of Athena, so I have enhanced mental capabilities. I started fighting when I was seven, and I have fought many different beings, including Greek, Roman, and Egyptian. As for the Egyptian, I was using Egyptian weapons, made out of Sandstone Steel" Annabeth said. "Well, I have been blessed by the Olympian council, twelve of the more powerful beings in the Greek pantheon, and I have yet to discover the full capabilities of some of my blessings. Some of my gifts are on my charm bracelet, which holds my weapons, a set of knives, my bow, my sword, a invisibility cloak, a way to summon my wolf Copper to me, and an infinite storage space. All of my items return to my bracelet with practically no relapse time. Other than that, I can morph my clothes to whatever I want, and make them as thick as armor. I am the adopted child of Poseidon, and a clear sighted mortal, so I can see through whatever mist you have. I have been fighting since I turned five, and I'm eleven now" I said.

"So then, why were you two trained from such a young age?" Lili asked. "I actually ran away from my home when I was about six and a half. I met up with a group of other Greek demigods, and we made our way to the Greek safe haven. That is where we are driving to right now. So I started fighting because I had to learn how to defend myself" Annabeth said in response. I said "My brother is a revered hero among Greek, Roman, and a few Egyptian demigods. He has accomplished two Greek quests successfully in his lifetime, and he has brought down two major Greek powers. That makes it so that he has MANY enemies that would love to kill him, or his family, to bring him down. See, his fatal flaw is loyalty. That means, if one of his family members dies, or anybody super close to him dies, he will become a complete wreck. So, I was trained from a young age so that I could defend myself from the monsters". "Wow. What happened to your brother to make him so hated?" Mei asked. I sighed then started speaking "It was long before I was born..."

"And that is my brother's life" I concluded. Everyone's jaws were touching the floor, except for Annabeth's, Levesque's, Li Qiang's, and mine. "Well. How can your brother be so effing happy to lucky when his life was worse than mine, and I already died" Magnus asked. "So Mt. Helens, St. Louis Arch, and all of those other events was because of Percy?" Lili asked. "Well, my brother is just that way, and yes. Yes they were because of my brother" I responded. "Wait. So your brother, and my cousin's fiancé, was the Percy Jackson that was highly wanted quite a few years back, for possible manslaughter and destruction of property? The one that I was hunting down for, in order to try and claim that thousand dollar reward? Annie, YOU WERE WITH HIM WHEN HE BLEW UP THE ST. LOUIS ARCH?" Magnus angrily said. "Um, yes, yes, and yesssss?????" Annabeth said.

Magnus slowly said "Hope that Percy isn't there when we get there. Otherwise you may be single again". "Magnus, leave the room. Go into the bathroom and take a cold shower or something" Annabeth said, before Magnus left the room, and went into the bathroom and started to take a shower. "Hey, Levesque. You have been driving for the last couple of hours. Why don't you let me drive, while you go and take a nap?" Lili asked. Levesque agreed, and Lili took the wheel. Once Levesque was in the sleeping quarters, Annie went and leaned against the door to the sleeping quarters. "So Li Qiang, what is your past like?" I asked. He started stuttering, while he said "My-y-y past? Oh, well, I was raised with my grandfather, who died in a flood a few years back". "Oh, do you know anybody, one of your close relatives, who might have the opposite background? See, one of my close friends, Frank Zhang, and his girlfriend, Hazel Levesque, left my group of Greeks about a year and a half ago, because she couldn't handle the PTSD from our past. So, maybe you are related to Frank? And Levesque could be related to Hazel? I mean, you look awfully similar. And you seemed to recognize me and Kat, didn't you Frank?" Annabeth calmly said. When she finished saying that, Frank automatically transformed into a goldfish, and then transformed back.

He then pushed Annie out of the doorway, opened the door, and called out to Hazel "Hazel, we've been found out". And then ran from the door. A few seconds later, Hazel bursted through, saying "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WE'VE BEEN FOUND OUT!!! I'VE TAKEN EVERY PRECAUTION THAT I COULD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COULDN'T RECOGNIZE US!!!" She then realized that she was yelling into the crowd. She then sheepishly said "Well, I can finally drop the mist on us Frank". She then concentrated for a moment, and then she and Frank started to shimmer, and then they looked like they were normal again. Annie and I ran over to hug Frank and Hazel, while Lili just looked confused by the way that events were working out.

"Hey guys, want me to start an IM to Perce?" I said. "Yeah. Start it please. We might want to inform him of our situation. Oh, and everyone. Please don't freak out" Annabeth said. Lili quickly asked "Wait. Does Percy have any PTSD that we should know about?". "Um. You'll see" I responded. Then I started the Iris message, with using a specialized hose, that made a perfect rainbow. "Oh, and be ready to see my brother explode" I quickly warned everyone, before the call connected, and we got a angry Percy yelling at me. "SIS. YOU, ANNIE, AND MAGNUS WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL IF YOUR MISSION TOOK LONGER THAN A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH AND A HALF SINCE YOU LEFT, AND I RECIEVED NO IRIS MESSAGES, LEO CALLS, OR EVEN A STINKING LETTER!!!! IF YOU HADN'T CONTACTED US IN BY THE TIME THAT IT GOT TO TWO MONTHS, WE WERE GOING TO MAKE SHROUDS FOR YOU. SHROUDS!!! I WOULD NOT HAVE BOTHERED LIVING IF WE DECLARED YOU AND ANNIE DEAD!!! Wait. Are those other people behind you sis?" I calmly responded "Yes. Yes those are".

"Oh @#$&. I'm so sorry for that. I didn't realize that you were with other people. Who are they? Was your mission successful? Where's Magnus? Is he okay?" Percy worried. "Chill bro. Magnus is fine. He just found out about the whole story of your life, and how you put Annie in danger so many times. So we sent him to go take a nap. The mission was successful, and we have some more Chinese recruits, along with some information. This is Lili, she is a leader of the Chinese demigods in Rockford. Lili, Li Qiang, and Marie, Annie's cousin here, are the leaders, or emperors of their groups.Though, you might recognize Li Qiang, emperor of the Zhang empire, and Levesque,Shi, or second in command of the Zhang empire" Annie said, before Percy quickly replied "There's no way that you mean-". Frank then calmly walked out, from behind the door frame where they were hiding, while Hazel jumped out, and yelled "SURPRISE!!!" So loudly that everyone drew their weapons and made defensive positions. "Oops. Sorry" Hazel said sheepishly. "It's alright" Percy said.

"We are on our way to Camp Hestia right now, and will be there in a few hours. Oh. And have the cabins put up all of those guest tents that we have in storage" I said. "All of them!?! In total, those can fit two hundred and fifty people.How many people did you recruit?" Percy responded. "Four hundred or so. So we need more tents" I replied. "Shoot. Well, I'll get the Hecate, Hermes, and Apollo kids started on that. Should we prepare for the move to Boston?" He asked. "Definitely. Once we get there, we need to move to Boston within a month. I would suggest trying to gather as many supplies, armor, weapons, healing items, and nets or teleportation items as you can. Especially the medical items and large nets or teleportation items. We'll explain later, when we get there" Annie said.

"Okay. Will do. Stay safe" Percy replied, before he cut the communication. A minute after he ended the IM, Lili called out "Dragon front and center!", while I yelled "Pegasus on the left!", and Magnus came out of the bathroom with wet hair, and yelled "Ravens on the right!". "How soon can we stop this bus?" Annie asked. "Give me three minutes" Lili responded. We then made a sharp right turn, and everyone got thrown to the side. "Everyone! Prepare to evacuate and prepare for battle! Remember! We cannot hurt the beasts of another pantheon, unless you are using the correct metal. Greek is Celestial Bronze, or Imperial Gold! Norse is Temperate Iron! Chinese is Starlit Silver or Blessed Bronze!" I yelled, as I got ready within seconds, while everyone else was preparing. The bus stopped, and we flooded out of all the exits.

Annabeth yelled out "Identification!?!". Mei called out "Pulao! One of the nine sons of the dragon! Known for his love of swimming and fear of whales! Also known for roaring a lot. Characters are usually seen as blue or green, but they are red so dark that it might as well be black". Magnus called out "Huginn and Muninn. Ravens of Odin. Can see all, and, from past experiences, are extremely annoying and pushy. Rune line usually purple, currently dark red". I called out "Pegasus. THE Pegasus. Child of Medusa and Poseidon, and can fly. Blackjack is gunna kill me if I hurt Pegasus". Annabeth said "Oh RIP. BLACKJACKS GUNNA KILL US LATER. Oh, but other than that, get them neutralized as soon as possible. 3...2...1... SPLIT".
