The Daughter of Hecate (Percy Jackson/Harry Potter)

The Battle of the Labyrinth

Soon, thanks to Rachel, everyone was back in times square.

After saying their goodbyes and thank yous to Rachel, they all ran towards an abandoned alleyway.

Vitani picked up a metal pipe from the ground and tapped it with her wand.

"There, it'll take us back to camp now." Vitani said.

"Uh, what does teleporting feel like?" Percy asked nervously.

"Just hold on." Vitani grinned. "Everyone, touch the pipe please."

They all did as told before they were whisked away.

They flew through a swirling smoking rainbow tunnel.

"AHHH!" Annabeth screamed.

"Let go!" Vitani commanded. 

"Are you crazy?!" Percy asked.

"Nope! Let go now!" Vitani said, grabbing Luke's hand before letting go. The two of them flew off into the smoke.

"I think we should let go!" Nice said before letting go himself.

Annabeth and Percy looked at each other before letting go.

The three screamed as they flipped and turned in the wind before landing harshly on the ground.

"Ow! I think I broke my butt!" Nico whined

"Oh...my back." Percy groaned.

"My side..." Annabeth moaned.

"Where's Vitani and Luke?" Nico asked.

"Here!" Vitani said as she floated down gently with Luke.

"How'd you do that?" Annabeth demanded.

"Practice." Vitani smiled.

"C'mon, let's go." Luke said.

The group then walked to camp, where they were met with Chiron, the pot bellied Silenus, and a couple of Apollo cabin archers.

Chiron raised a brow when he saw Nico, but said nothing until Percy explained that Quintus was Daedalus and Kronos' rising.

"I feared as much." Chiron said. "We must hurry. Hopefully you have slowed down the Titan lord, but his vanguard will still be coming through. They will be anxious for blood. Most of our defenders are already in place. Come!"

"Wait a moment." Silenus demanded. "What of the search for Pan? You are almost three weeks overdue, Grover Underwood! Your searcher's license is revoked!"

Grover took a deep breath. He stood up straight and looked Silenus in the eye. "Searcher's licenses don't matter any more. The great god Pan is dead. He has passed on and left us his spirit."

"What?" Silenus's face turned bright red. "Sacrilege and lies! Grover Underwood, I will have you exiled for speaking thus!"

"It's true." Percy said. "We were there when he died. All of us."

"Impossible! You are all liars! Nature-destroyers!"

Chiron studied Grover's face. "We will speak of this later."

"We will speak of it now!" Silenus said. "We must deal with this-"

"Silenus." Chiron cut in. "My camp is under attack. The matter of Pan has waited two thousand years. I fear it will have to wait a bit longer. Assuming we are still here this evening."

And on that happy note, he readied his bow and galloped toward the woods, leaving them to follow as best they could.

It was the biggest military operation they had ever seen at camp. Everyone was at the clearing, dressed in full battle armour, but this time it wasn't for capture the flag. The Hephaestus cabin had set up traps around the entrance to the Labyrinth-razor wire, pits filled with pots of Greek fire, rows of sharpened sticks to deflect a charge. Beckendorf was manning two catapults the size of pickup trucks, already primed and aimed at Zeus's Fist. The Ares cabin was on the front line, drilling in phalanx formation with Clarisse calling orders. Apollo's and Hermes's cabins were scattered in the woods with bows ready.
