(Hazels POV)

       My brother was wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt... how weird. I felt fine, since Apollo had let me, but Annabeth was given a wonderful migrane, and Piper had the case of no voice. When Percy saw Annabeth so sickly, he ran up to the cage. Jason saw Piper, and walked over sluggishly. Both of them must have been over-using their power. Will and MacKenzie stood back as Nico ran up to me.

       "No!" I shouted, but they all placed their hands on the bars. The boys yelped. They tried pulling back, but couldn't. Their hands were stuck to the imperial gold.

        "Questo è merda!" Nico yelled. Percy was having a panic attack, and Jason was freaking out more than either of them. I crawled over to them.

        "Stay calm." I said. They all calmed down, and Apollo showed up.

         "Vaffanculo!" Nico screamed at him. Apollo laughed.

(Wills POV)

         I knew what we had to do. Dad wouldn't trap us. We could save them. I ran up and placed my hands on the bars. Once i pulled my hands back, MacKenzie joined me. We took out our blades, and began cutting down the bars, but they just replaced themselves.

        "You will suffer, young demigods!" Apollo laughed again. I turned toward him.

        "Father, why are you doing this to my friends?" I asked, nearly in tears. Apollo blinked a couple of times.

        APOLLO, YOU ARE BANNED FROM MOUNT OLYMPUS! NOW BOW TO YOUR KNEES!! Zeus's voice boomed across the sky. Apollo bowed, and then Zeus appeared. I watched as Zeus zapped Apollo. Apollo disappeared into light, and when the light disappeared, Apollo looked different. I realized with a start, that he was mortal. MacKenzie and I hacked down the cage, which had now released Percy, Nico, and Jason. Nico was still cursing beyond my span of acceptance. Percy and Jason had scrambled up by Piper and Annabeth, who had been cured. Nico was walking in circles, cussing in Italian. Hazel had ran to the  boat anxious to get off the island. 

      "Nico calm down. Please." I walked over to him. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he jumped. 

     "Huh?" He asked.
