Thick, black smoke seeped into the room, clouding the vision of Clara and Mira. It's all natural to Joseph, a result of fire, so he looks around, not bothered by it.
A figure forms out of the darkness. "Well, if it isn't the demigods. Why do you want to fight me so badly?" a male voice said.
Joseph squinted a little. "Who are you?" he asked.
A figure stepped out. "Dylan. And, as Leo once said as a way of being me, 'I'm so cool, I want to date myself, but I can't figure out how!'" Dylan said.
Clara could listen to this, not see. "You're that ventus who tried to kill Jason in the Grand Canyon!" she yelled.
"At least someone remembers me. But, of course you do, I'm Dylan!" he said. Dylan started making electricity fly through the smoke, which became clouds. "I'm afraid I have to kill you now!"
"You couldn't even beat Jason on his own! What makes you think you can beat three of us?" Joseph asked.
"He was a son of Jupiter himself!" Dylan protested.
"I'm one of the Big Three's kids, too." said Mira, finally within earshot.
"Errrr..." Dylan mumbled. He flew up, wind blowing everywhere. "Enough chit chat! Let's battle!" He sent out a few venti.
Joseph and Clara easily stabbed a few with their weapons while Mira flung her spear at Dylan. He dodged it. "Why don't you come here and fight us yourself! Coward!" Mira sneered at him.
Dylan just called in more venti. "No, you see, I'm tiring you out." He stammered. Then, he suddenly called up wind and threw Clara off Olympus!
"No!" she screamed, her voice fading away.
Joseph leapt down without thinking.
"You &$@!, how dare you!" Mira shouted.
Dylan backed up. "Just having a fight worthy of me." he laughed.
"No. You're a coward and don't want to take on three people at once!"
"Come at me, girl!"
Mira screamed, then jumped up with the force of water, spear in hand. Dylan pushed her back with wind, a bolt of lightning in his hand, ready to strike. "Back off!" she yelled.
"Nah." he taunted, throwing it at her.
A ball of flame hit the bolt, knocking it away, a mere inch from her face.
"I love the elevator service! It's quite speedy." said Joseph.
"Yes. Jeff was quick with that huge pile of pillows, too, huh?" said Clara walking up behind him. She pulled out her sword and ran behind Dylan. He immediately turned around, letting Joseph throw a dagger at his neck.
"Shoot." Dylan said before vanishing.
"Clara, you scared me!" said Mira, hitting her.
"Sorry. Now let's see that watch." Clara replied.
Mira held it out, and they gathered around it.
"It's just a click ticking. Nothing special." said Joseph.
Clara took it from Mira. "Actually, it's ticking fast. As if...we are running out if time?"
"Time. Time, time, time..." Joseph muttered.
"Tick tock!" Mira sang.
"Now's not the time for Kesha."
"I was thinking of Wiress in the arena!"
"Guys! Kronos! Lord of Time!" Clara shouted.
"Oh...right." said Mira and Joseph.
"We have to catch him before..something might happen to the Olympians!" Clara shrieked.
"No chit chat then! Let's go!" said Joseph, standing up.
The trio headed toward the elevator, a new goal on their minds.
