And the dedication goes to...@Ninjagirl13! The answer was Cowboys!

And also a shoutout to @Typical_Weird_Nerd because I don't want my remains scattered through Tartatrus. I just want to say to all of my readers, you guys are the best. I couldn't ask for better comments or votes. You guys make my day whenever I see that even one person voted. And your comments make me laugh all the time.

Reyna POV.

Reyna never liked hiding. It made her feel like a coward, which was totally against everything she was. Her mother was Bellona, the goddess of war. Sometimes she would wake up at night physically hurting from her inability to win. She definitely hated being underground. It was closed in and dark, much like the cells she and Hylla shrouded in when the pirates kidnapped them off Cerse's island. She'd rather be up on the ground fighting than here.

Unfortunately, she really didn't have a choice anymore. Not if she wanted the Half Blood race to survive.

She stared at the floor pacing, her footsteps the only noise in the shock of the story Nico and the Stolls had just finished telling. Nico had his arm wrapped, from a cut he got fighting the Chaos creatures, and a blank look on his face. Connor was tapping on the table as if itching to ask a question but holding it back. Travis looked frustratedly ahead his eyes blank and paler than normal. Katie sat next to him rubbing his back looking glumly at the ground.

Piper pursed her lips. "I don't believe it!" She stated firmly. "This is too big. This had to be a joke Stolls. Please tell me it's a joke." Her eyes were rimmed red and her hair a little less prefect than normal. "Please tell me he's okay." She whispered.

No one said anything. The daughter of Aphrodite swallowed a sob and turned boring from the room.

Katie bit her lip.

Reyna brushed her dark hair out of her face, and turned to Nico. "Chaos?" She asked. "What did we do to piss him off?"

Connor shrugged his foot tapping on the ground now.

"So this super being of power, completely screwed up our lives for no reason? I get wanting Percy Jackson, he's powerful and loyal, but why the rest of you? Why attack the camps?"

Nico rolled his skull ring between his fingers. "His name is Chaos. If he's like most people, them he was named after what he does best: he creates Chaos."

Reyna continued pacing, mulling over their stories. Her thoughts turning back to the day everyone disappeared. Back to the day, camp was overtaken, and the....pineapple.

Reyna swung her blade around, kicking her foot into the stomach of an empousa and the monster knocked into a dozen dracaenae like bowling pins. Dust covered her clothes, filled the air, tainted her tongue like dirt.

Her hair flung out of its braid and a battle cry ripped through her throat.

Around her more monsters crowd pressing attacks and her motions becoming more spontaneous and jerky. Hellhounds practically leaped back into Tartatrus when they attacked her.

"Nico!" She shouted. Screams echoed all over the battle field that five minutes ago was a peaceful camp. The ground trembled, the sky thundered, waves crashed into creatures, and the screams pierced air like thousands of knives.

She dodged the claws of a monster she didn't recognize as Greek or Roman.She broke down the walls of the circle around her, gold glittering in an aura off her armor and sword.

She searched the battle field for her boyfriend, his usual response empty over the cacophony.

Cold pulled under her, for a second she glimpsed the grassy swarming with shadows. Monsters fell for no reason, though Reyna could tell the shadows were actually attacking them, for all the good it did. Acid fell from the sky mixing with the rain.
