Juliet was glad she had learned some swimming from Percy, it had come in handy as she had been rocked out of the ship.

Thankfully, she had found Augustus limp body floating above water, his flying shoes trying to keep him afloat.

Juliet was shit at swimming and Augustus who was great at it was unconscious, meaning it was her trying to make them stay afloat while their heads kept dunking under water.

"Percy!" She screeched, she was irritated, if he didn't arrive immediately she was about to throw a fit.

She gulped sea water making her splutter, despite her circumstances she tried her best to place a healing hand on Augustus to revive him.

"Oh my god!" Juliet yelled in irritation, slamming her hand on Augustus's chest harshly, "Wake up you fucking idiot!"

Augustus gasped and spluttered as his eyes snapped open, a gargle of sea water going in his mouth before he coughed out spitting it out, "Wha-what-" this his senses came back in control as he narrowed his eyes, "Fucking Coach Hedge!"

"I'm going to drown bitch!" Juliet screeched hanging onto his shoulders to save herself.

"Stop making me drown with you!" Augustus shrieked wrapping his arm around her waist.

It had only been a second of his arm resting there before Juliet was harshly wrenched back, making Augustus squawked and went dunking in the water.

Cool arms secured themselves around her waist as Percy's legs tangled with her, he held her close to his chest, "Are you okay baby?"

Normally Juliet would've smiled and said she was fine, but right now, she was wet, she was salty, and she could see fishes below her, "The fuck do you think? I was having a lounge party in here? What took you so long? Did you wait for me to submerge before making an appearance? I want to kill you Perseus! No aspect of urgency!"

"Shush," Percy pressed her face to his neck as she wrapped her arms around him, "I've got you,"

"Bitch get me too!" Augustus yelled coming back up, Percy flipped him off but the waves circled around Gus making him stay afloat.

"Let's get back to the ship,"

As soon as they were on deck, Hazel supported Augustus inside who was still a little dizzy, Juliet and Percy stood side by side on the deck, spotting Octavian yelling curses.

"Babe," Juliet's jaw clenched, "If you don't kill him I will,"

Percy looked over at her nodding once, "Got it,"

There was a second's silence before a wave enough to flood the entire fort rose from the water, Octavian's eyes widened as the water rushed towards him.

"Percy no!" Jason yelled from the side, making Juliet curse as Percy slowed down the impact.

"Annabeth!" Juliet remembered, "Perce, stab the string cheese! Don't flood the place!"

"Sweetheart, I can't keep up with the demands!" Percy whined to her making her roll her eyes, "You're literally Achilles,"

Jason made it to the deck, and explained the situation to them, Percy and him stood together, their swords crossed.

Juliet got a tingle down her spine as she realized the boys were working as one, summoning the sky and the sea to do their bidding. Water and wind churned together. Waves heaved against the ramparts and lightning flashed. Giant eagles were knocked out ofthe sky. Wreckage of the flying chariot burned in the water, and Juliet manned her crossbow, taking shots at the Roman birds as they flew overhead.

The Argo II was already pulling away from the dock. Daphne who had now gained back her vision was at the gangplank, her hand outstretched. Annabeth leaped and grabbed her hand. The gangplank fell into the sea, and the two girls tumbled onto the deck.

"Go!" Annabeth screamed. "Go, go, go!"

The engines rumbled beneath her. The oars churned. Jason changed the course of the wind, and Percy called up a massive wave, which lifted the ship higher than the fort's walls and pushed it out to sea. Juliet rushed inside and manned the controls.

By the time the Argo II reached top speed, Fort Sumter was only a blot in the distance, and they were racing across the waves toward the ancient lands.
