Chaos opened a portal and they walked through. They ended up in the hallway, two doors from Neander's room. When they heard yelling and something breaking they ran to the room. Silena and Zoe were comforting a crying Bianca while Beckendorf tried to break up the screaming and wrestling Luke and Neander.

"Get Bianca out of here, she doesn't need to see this again," Chaos said sympathetically.

Silena and Zoe lead Bianca out of the cabin. They stood a bit away from the cabin trying to comfort Bianca.

"It's not fair," she muttered, hugging Silena and Zoe.

"I know, he'll be okay. He got through it last time," Zoe said confidently.

"But think about everything that happened before he did," Bianca screamed.

"She's right. It was forever before we finally got him back on track and even now he's still not completely fine," Silena agreed.

"We have to believe that we'll be able to help him again," Zoe said.

"And what if we can't? What if coming back here is the thing that sends him over the edge?" Bianca asked.

"He won't. He'll be fine," Zoe told them.

Leo, Nico, Thalia, Hades, Poseidon, Hermes, and the five walked up to the group of girls.

"Bianca? What's wrong?" Hades asked his daughter.

"Why is she crying?" Nico demanded.

There was a scream that came from Chaos cabin and Bianca cried harder.

"There's a... problem Neander and Luke are dealing with," Silena said cryptically.

"Code 42," Poseidon said.

Silena and Zoe nodded.

"What's the problem?" Annabeth asked.

"Neander and Luke," Zoe muttered.

"Why are they the problem?" Frank asked.

"They're fighting," Zoe answered.

"Why?" Poseidon asked.

"Because of you," Bianca said with hatred.

"How is it our fault?" Hazel asked.

"They're fighting over problems you caused. Problems that could have been prevented. Problems, they shouldn't have to deal with," Bianca screamed.

"But why is Luke fighting him?" Hermes asked.

"Luke is trying to help Neander. When he couldn't, things ended up getting physical," Zoe answered.

"And why aren't you helping?" Poseidon asked.

"Have you ever seen Percy angry? Like really angry?" Bianca asked.

They shook their heads and Bianca smiled sadly, "Good. Because you don't want to."

Before anyone could say anything more, Luke came stalking out of the cabin, bloodied with Beckendorf following. Luke screamed and sat on the ground crying. Hermes rushed over to Luke and hugged him.

"Are you okay?" Thalia asked.

Luke nodded numbly.

"What happened?" Bianca asked.

~ In Chaos cabin after Silena, Zoe, and Bianca left ~

Chaos and Order stared at the three boys. Beckendorf gave up trying to stop them when Chaos and Order entered.

"How long?" Chaos asked.

"25-30 minutes," he answered.

"Stop this," Luke screamed as he wrestled Neander to the ground.
