After the Iris-message ended, Jason ran as fast as he could to the Aphrodite cabin, and slammed the doors open. A group of campers shrieked and of course, Drew winked at him. Jason ignored her.

"Where's Piper?" he asked. Lacy stepped up.

"She didn't want us to tell you, but she's at Firework Beach. She's prepared a little something for you." She smiled. Jason thanked her and flew to the beach.

Lacy was right. Piper was at Firework Beach, and Leo was sitting on the sand with Calypso. Piper was close by, arranging items on a pink and blue checkered blanket. He flew down and landed Superman-style, and Piper panicked and fell backwards.

"Jason! Who told you?" She pouted. Jason helped her up, and she brushed off her outfit. She was wearing a white short babydoll dress and a blue sweatshirt, no doubt one of Jason's. He blushed and shook his head, getting his mind straight.

"It was an emergency. Lacy told me. Reyna's been possessed by the same Eidolon that you banished from the Argo II a few years ago. It wants revenge, and it's coming to kill you." He panted. Piper's eyes widened, and you could see the fear in her eyes.

"Reyna? But she's extremely powerful, I don't think the barrier could keep her out since she's a demigod. Jason, we can't hurt her. She's my friend. Plus, no offense, but I don't think you can hurt her. Her powers and abilities plus that Eidolon, there's no stopping her. What's the plan?" Piper worried.

"Nico told me to play defense until we can get the Eidolon out. He's on his way, but I don't know when and how long it'll take for him to get here. We have to find someplace to hide you." Jason said.

"Wait, let's find Annabeth. She and Leo can probably cook up something to help us." She turned to Leo, who was messing around with the Archimedes sphere with Calypso, and yelled. "LEO! Can you and Calypso come here for a second?" She asked.

Leo and Calypso stood up and strolled over to them, hand in hand.

"What's up, Beauty Queen?" Leo joked. Calypso shook her head.

"The same Eidolon that I banished from the Argo II possessed Reyna. We can't hurt her because Nico will kill us, so I'm asking if you can help make something that'll help us play defense until the Eidolon is defeated." Piper notified. Leo nodded.

"Of course, Piper. I think I can come up with something. How much time do we have?"

"That's the thing. I don't know." Jason confirmed. That was compromising. Reyna and the Eidolon could show up in 20 seconds or 20 days.

"Where are Percy and Annabeth? I bet they could take care of the situation." Calypso offered.

"I think they went out on a date. Honestly, they deserve it. Percy just got done with a major swimming competition and Annabeth finished her midterms with zero mistakes. I think it'd be better to leave them alone. They're always the ones people look up to, I think they deserve a break. Besides, I'm sure I can cook up something." Leo said. He patted his tool belt.

"Something that can protect her. Reyna plus the Eidolon is really dangerous. Reyna always keeps herself in check, but with the Eidolon, she could take down anything." Jason described. Leo thought for a minute.

"Maybe a giant gerbil ball." Leo suggested.

"What?! No, Reyna could just roll me down the hill. Couldn't you just fly me into the air until the Eidolon tires her out?" Piper offered.

"I'm not sure. You could just sit on the roof of the Zeus cabin as she tries to find you."

"No, that wouldn't work. Nico said that the Eidolon teleported away. She could just teleport onto the roof." Jason notified.

"Maybe we could trap Reyna instead of trying to hide Piper. Remember how you first captured Festus, Leo?" Calypso proposed. "We could use the gerbil ball idea, but suspend it in the air so that Reyna couldn't escape. We can attach some wires from the trees to the ball." She said, mapping out blueprints and plans in her head. Leo kissed her on the cheek.

"That's why I love you." He smiled. "So, what do you think? Think it's possible?" Leo asked.

"Guess there's only one way to find out. Let's try it!" Piper agreed.
