"How will we get there?" Ben asked me.

"Leo can help us, I guess," I said.

Then I remembered something. "Wait—Ben, weren't you and Mike at a school and then an explosion happened? We never figured out what caused it..."

"You're right," said Erica. "We got completely derailed. We have to return to the mission."

"But your godly ancestor!" Argued Mike.

Erica shook her head. "That's not of importance."

"Actually, it is," intervened Annabeth, "if we can figure out who your godly parent is, you can use your powers to defeat the enemy."

"I have fighting," Erica said stubbornly.

"Well maybe there they can teach us new ways to fight and teach Mike and I how to fight," said Ben.

"Wow, thanks Ben," said Mike, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms.

"Anyways...Who's Leo?" Asked Ben.

"Our friend. He built this flying ship and we used it to get to the Roman camp last time. It has a dragon that controls it and he really loves Leo," I said.

The three spies-in-training just stared at me.

"Anyways, lets go find Leo," I said, trying to break the awkward silence.

I walked to the Hephaestus cabin with the others behind me. I knocked on the cabin's door and immediately someone opened it. It was a boy with brown hair, some soot on his left cheek, comfortable clothing and some black Adidas. It was Leo.

"What's up?" said Leo, smiling. "Who are these people?"

"This is Ben, Mike and Erica," Annabeth said, pointing at the three behind us.

Leo looked at Erica and said, "sorry to break it to ya', but McShizzle is taken."

Erica rolled her eyes at him. "I was never interested," she said.

Leo blinked awkwardly, looked down and continued on. "So, you just wanted to introduce them?"

"Well...Kind of, but what we need is for you to use the Argo II," I said.

"Sure," said Leo and he started to walk over to where the flying ship was.

It looked different from last time. Some paint had chipped off from the many struggles it went through. But overall, it wasn't too different now that I think about it. Festus was still in the same place, for example. I reflected on the memories I've had on that ship. Leo entered the vessel and we all followed. Ben and Mike looked confused, Erica looked like she didn't care.

"You don't care that you're in a flying magical ship?" I asked.

"I do. It's just instinct to never act surprised," she responded.

"As you can see," Mike said. "Erica is way more skilled than Ben and I."

"I didn't notice," said Annabeth, then she smiled to signify that she was only joking.

"So we just have to sit and enjoy the 5 hour trip on a flying ship?" Asked Ben.

"It's going to be longer than 5 hours because of, well, attacks. Demigods are always attacked. I don't even know if you two can see them considering how you and Mike are mortals," said Leo.

"We don't know that for sure!" said Mike.

"Sure, whatever," Leo replied. Mike rolled his eyes in annoyance.

                                ...
We were flying for about a half an hour attack-free. I had my ballpoint pen, Anaklusmos, or Riptide, in English, in my pocket. We were all on the bottom of the ship. It was pitch black outside and hard to see and there were plenty of lights there. Besides, it was safer. Then the ship started shaking from underneath us. We all scurried to the deck.

"What happened?!" shouted Mike.

"We're getting attacked," I told him gloomily.
