King Arthur And The Olympians: The Battle of the Labyrinth.

Arthur and Grover Converse With Nature

HI GUYS! I made a mistake with the last chapter I updated, I accidentally deleted the parts of the chapter with Nico in it. I had deleted them earlier with the intention of rewriting some of his dialogue and improving it, but I forgot to re-add it before publishing the chapter so it's like he's just disappeared. I rectified that mistake, and while Nico's lines and such are few in this particular chapter, they are important! I mean.. can't just forget the King of Ghosts exists can we? So again! GOMEN!!!

"GIRLS!" Nico ran over to us, helping Annabeth up as Liz looked flabbergasted at the way we blew in.

"DEERLETS!! YOU LEAVE ME TO BABYSIT THE DEATH KID AND THEN YOU GO FLYING IN LIKE BIRDS!?" Liz said. "COME ON!!"

"Babysit?" muttered Nico irritably. "You're basically a kid too!"

"A kid who is an pop idol of extraordinary talent!" exclaimed Liz haughtily.

"Luke.. is.. Luke turned.. into .." I stammered. "L-Luke... "

"I know.." Annabeth whispered putting a hand on my shoulder.

Here's the scary thing though.." said Mordred carefully. "you notice how things kinda bounced off of him like Superman or somethin'? I mean.. his own Noble Phantasm couldn't harm him.. it was weird.. that kind of invulnerability.. "

Nico narrowed his eyes suspiciously as well.. "Invulnerability you say?"

"Yeah.." said Mordred.  "Not that the hairbrush would've worked either way.."

I looked at Rachel with newfound respect. "You hit Kronos, Lord of Time, King of the Titans.. with a blue plastic hairbrush.. "

"Well it's all I had with me at the time." said Rachel with a shrug and a grin. "Not as impressive as you though.. I mean.. you self destructed your own sword an possibly blew up the entire palace up there.."

"Well.. part of it at least." I said. "And now I am weaponless.. at least until Excalibur is fully healed. "

"Not completely." said Annabeth with a smile, handing me my shield. "For now.. let's see if you can play it like Mash."

"Am I even a Saber Class anymore?" I muttered with a small smile playing across my lips.

But even with the lightheartedness to break the ice.. I still felt the weight of Luke's face plastered in my very heart and mind.

As my friends helped me to my feet and Annabeth gave me some ambrosia for my fractured arms, I noticed another passageway nearby.. one from which a chilling air could be felt flowing through..

And what was more, there was a hat sitting there.. the same hat Grover used to cover his horns.

I felt my body go cold as I stumbled over, picking up the hat gently in my hands, before looking at Annabeth, who seemed to have gone pale..

Without waiting for ANY response.. I dove into the passageway, running frantically as Rachel yelled. "SABER WAIT!!"

I ran for a few minutes.. till I suddenly found myself in a massive cave.. filled with forested trees.. waterfalls.. like a paradise inside the mountain.. rare plants and animals filled the place.. a Woolly Mamoth.. a Dodo bird.. a Sabertooth tiger.. and several others..

And standing in the room was..

"TYSON!! GROVER!!" I yelled.

Tyson whirled around immediately, his face breaking into a momentary grin before giving me a bone crushing hug. "SISTER!!"
