I'm Lance McClain, son of Poseidon. I go to camp half-blood. My best friends are Hunk and Pidge. Hunk is a Satyr while Pidge is a half-blood like me, she's the daughter of Athena.

"Lance, can you give me a hand?" Pidge asked trying to carry out the last of the swords. Shiro asked us to get them ready for a game of capture the flag later. Shiro is a centaur.

"Yeah, sure." I hurriedly grabbed them from her just before she dropped them.

"Thanks." She huffed trying to catch her breath.

"Don't mention it. Hunk? Do you know where they put the helmets?" I asked setting the swords down.

"Yeah, in cabin 2A. Shiro said not to worry about it though." Hunk informed.

"Alright." I was still fairly new to the camp. I only found out about my dad being Poseidon about three or four months ago. I went on a large quest in order to get back Zeus's lightening bolt because he thought I stole it preventing a massive war between the gods.

"Lance! Hunk! Pidge! We need to talk." Shiro walked up to us looking slightly concerned.

"What? Did we do something wrong?" I asked as us three began to walk with him.

"No. You see, I know the three of you already went a very dangerous quest but there is another that has rose and I'd feel far more comfortable giving it to you three with your experience. You've already been to the underworld and I'm afraid I am asking you to go back." Shiro said.

"What? Why?" I asked looking to the others.

"You see, Hades has a son, a half-blood just like you. He isn't the son of Persephone which explains his human heritage. He has made little contact with the camp but has made it clear he requires help to escape."

"Wait? Hades has a son?" Pidge chimed in curiously.

"Yes, he's been kept in the underworld for some time." Shiro said stopping and looking at the three teens.

"Can you tell us at least a bit more about him?" Hunk Asked this time.

"All else I can really tell you is his name I suppose. Keith." Shiro said walking to his cabin. "Use this to travel to California, I'm sure you already know that's how you get to the underworld."

We all nodded taking the small item. It was flat and circular. It was made of metal but a disc around the top was a beautiful mixture of blue and greens. "How do we use it?" I asked examining the do-hickey.

"You lay it on the floor and all of you must tough it and think of where you with to go. It won't work getting you in and out of the underworld but I have something else for that somewhere around here..." He was looking through boxes before holding up a large marble. It glowed gorgeous purples and blues. "Here it is."

He handed the small object to me carefully. "It's pretty." I said bluntly.

"Yes, yes it is. I am entrusting it with you Lance. This is a very valuable device. You see it only works in the underworld but it will get you out, as many people as you want. The catch is it teleports you to a random location." Shiro explained.

"Sweet." I held it close to my face. "How do we use it?"

"You'll hold it up and shake it, then wish to leave. Everyone else, you must latch on to Lance when he does this. You just need to hold on to him is some way."

"Thanks Shiro. We'll do our best to get Keith." I said confidently. Shiro had given us a shield and asked us to be safe.

"Get him to camp Half-Blood as quick as you can. Good luck." With that, Shiro left.

We all went to our cabins to pack our bags and prepare for the trip, no one knew how long it could actually take. I filled up canteens of water, a trick I picked up in case I got into trouble somewhere there wasn't water.

When the time came we went outside the camp and Pidge set down the flat green device. "Ready?" She asked.

Hunk and I looked at each other nervously. "I guess." I said placing my finger on the object.

Hunk stood stubbornly for a moment before doing the same. "We're all going to die." He whined.

"Nah! We'll be fine! Besides a little death never killed anybody!" I laughed.

We all teleported appearing in front on the entrance to the underworld. We cautiously entered to see the same dead lair. A man stood in boat with a large cloak ominously.

"We need to get to the underworld." I said holding out several coins. He took them and we climbed in the boat nervously.

It was creepy gliding through the sky looking down at the underworld. I couldn't imagine living here.

When we arrived at Hades domain we all got out. I took a deep breath looking to the others to see if they were ready. All they did was nod silently and I slowly pushed open the door. We slid in to see the room illuminated by a fireplace.

I put my finger to my lips telling the other two to be as quiet as possible. We silently moved our way to the next room when a large black mass attacked us. It was a demon of sorts.

I clicked my pen it transforming into a sword. Pidge drew a bow and arrow shooting it in the arm but it didn't help. It growled viciously with glowing yellow eyes and baring it's teeth.

"Hunk, watch out!" I yelled at it lunges at him. I stepped in it's way attacking. After landing a few blows it hit me causing me to fly back and hit the floor. It lunges at me and I set my sword ready to attack weakly, though it was unnecessary. A glowing sword went through it's head and it let out a loud screech before dissolving into thin air.

"That was my fathers guard. Normal swords and arrows don't affect it." Said a shorter figure.

I stood up and turned to question the figure. He was... cute. He wore a dark purple cloak with a sword slung over his back. The boy had raven black hair with a mullet. His eyes are what caught me most, they were gorgeous violet orbs. "Who are you?" I narrowed my eyes standing in front of Pidge and Hunk letting them recover.

"I'm Keith, son of Hades." He stepped forward extending his had.

I retracted my sword and shook his hand. "I'm Lance. Son of Poseidon."

"I'm Pidge daughter of Athena." Pidge shook his hand as well.

"Hunk, I'm a Satyr." He greeted. Keith simply nodded. While they introduced themselves I couldn't help but stare at the boy.

We heard footsteps running down the hall and we immediately all looked to each other.

"We gotta go." Keith said quickly grabbing us and pulling us to the door.

I noticed very quickly how he was holding my hand. I know, I know. It's nothing romantic or whatever, he's just pulling me by conveniently my hand, but let me have my moment.

"How are we getting out of here?" He asked seriously.

"We have a marble." I said in a daze. I wasn't really thinking.

"A marble?! Are you kidding me right now?!" He turned back to look at me anger painting his face.

"It's magical." I said again staring at his eyes.

The footsteps caught up and several demons with large horns attacked us. They wore red suits of armor and carried long double edged swords.

I clicked my pen and fought the nearest one stabbing it causing the creature to burst into dust. I looked to Keith and Pidge as they killed two as well. There were at least ten still and we were running out of time. "Hang on!" I yelled and closed my eyes channeling my thoughts feelings and emotions to the water in the canteens. I had a large amount of water gathered in the air and I launched it at all nearing attackers.

I pulled the marble from my bag at lightning speed and held it up. I wrapped an arm around Keith startling him, Pidge and Hunk gripped my jacket. I thought about escaping and shut my eyes tightly.

I opened them to see a forest, Keith was gripping my jacket tightly with his eyes squeezed shut. "We're safe." I breathed. Keith quickly let go and looked around curiously.

"Where is this?" Keith squatted down picking up a leaf examining it confused.

"A forest. As to our current state or country... no idea." I pulled out my phone and began to check our location.

"A forest? I didn't really expect them to look like this." He stood back up and looked at my phone.

"You've never seen a forest?" I asked looking at him. He shook his head and continued to examine my device.

"What's that?" He asked.

"A phone. It says we're in Ohio, not far from Long Island. That's where Camp Half-blood is." I looked to Hunk and Pidge.

"Great, we should find a town at catch the nearest train." Pidge pushed up her glasses.

"Can I see your phone?" Keith asked looking at it fascinated.

"Uh, sure." He was really cute, all oblivious and whatnot. I blushed handing it to him.

"Wait, it reads my finger?" He was swiping the screen back and forth.

"Yup, it's a touchscreen." I laughed.

He handed it back thanking me. "Welp, google says we're eight miles away from the nearest town so this'll take a while.

"It's going to be dark soon." Hunk reminded.

"Yeah, lets just pray we have enough jackets and that Hades doesn't send anyone after us." I said starting in the direction.

=======

Eight miles was a lot. We were all cold, hungry, and tired. "We should wait on taking a train." I said as we got into the town.

"Agreed. I'm starving and so tired I think I'm going to collapse." Pidge exaggerated as we trudged to a McDonalds.

I ordered for Keith because had no idea what a Big Mac was let alone McNuggets. We sat down and while waiting for the food Hunk and Pidge fell asleep.

"I like your sword." Keith said out of the blue.

"Thanks, it used to be my dads." I held up the pen to show him.

"You know, I've seen you and your friends before. It was I think a couple of months ago. You fought with my dad. You stole Zeus' lightning bolt."

"I actually didn't steal it, Lotor did, I was blamed for it. My name was cleared when I returned it to Zeus." I informed and he nodded his head understanding.

"Pidge. Your order is ready." A woman called. I grabbed the food tray and brought it back.

"Hunk, Pidge... we have foooood." I shook them. They sat up and ate their burgers half awake.

Keith took a bite of his burger and his face lit up. "T-this is amazing!" He took another bite.

I smiled, he was so cute.

We got two motel rooms for the night. It was decided that Pidge and Hunk have the two bed room and Keith and I take the one.

"I'll sleep on the floor." I said in my pajamas with my towel wrapped on my head. I don't care if thats what girls do.

"No it's alright, I can take the floor." He said pulling off his long cloak and sword. He was wearing grey skinny jeans with a black shirt that fit him nicely. So nicely.

"No. Wait, do you have pajamas?" I asked eyeing him.

"No." He sat on the edge of the bed exhausted.

"Here, I have extra." I said digging through my bag and pulling out plaid pajama pants with a red top.

"Thanks." He took a shower and changed in the bathroom. I felt myself nodding off in the chair at the corner of the room but quickly sat up when he returned.

"Want to just share the bed?" I asked so sleepy I could barely stand to keep my head up.

"U-uh sure." He said and we both got under the sheets.

We caught the train the next morning and rode it to Long Island. We had to make our way through forest before finally making it to Camp Half-blood.
