A/N: Hey guys! So, here I am, finally updating... It's been too long, hasn't it? Well, whatever you may think, here is the final chapter of Bad Timing. It's a little shorter than the others, but yeah... enjoy anyways.

Thanks to all of you who followed, which was Paws Whovian, prasad, quota the dragon, hitsugayauchiha, intomiddle3arth, and stardustandmemes. Also to those of you who favorited, which was Paws Whovian, prasad, and hitsugayauchiha.

Bass Beast: Thank you so much; I always enjoy hearing from you. Well, reading. And hi!

Guest: That's cool. I like Sam too, I just think she's a little more...I don't know, hostile I guess, than some of the other characters. And if it feels like everyone's OOC, that's probably because Magnus Chase is a newer series. We haven't heard his voice as many times as we have Percy's, ya know? Percy has a very distinct way of speaking and acting that I have a lot of fun trying to recreate. But, even though your review was, admittedly, less than complimentary, I was glad to hear someone speak up.

READ AND REVIEW!

We climbed down from the raised platform we were on and split up looking for an offshooting passage or something. In the end, it was Annabeth who found it. She called us over and the four of us crept silently down the hall. The passage got narrower and narrower until we were all walking in single file, which seemed really impractical, considering the monsters were wider than we were. My shoulders were just beginning to brush the walls of the passage when the hallway suddenly opened up.

We seemed to be on some sort of balcony and were looking down at dozens upon dozens of leucrocottas. Thankfully, they hadn't noticed us yet, but I assumed it wouldn't be long. For now, we were on a stakeout. A really deadly stakeout that could end with us being badger-thing food.

The four of us leaned as far over as we could, straining to see what was happening below us. The hippogriffs were gone, leaving only the lei-crackpots, I mean leucrocottas, behind. Only...they were doing weird stuff. Somehow, they had gotten a computer and were doing something on it, just like the telekhine on the Andromeda Princess.

"Any idea where the hippogriffs are?" Sam whispered.

"Not sure," Annabeth replied. "I think maybe they left the operation entirely. They never were evil in the old stories."

"As long as they don't singing again and willingly go back to Tartarus, we'll get along just fine with these guys."

Annabeth sighed. "When has that ever happened?"

Magnus, who was still watching the monsters looked up all of a sudden and said, "Um, I think you jinxed the singing thing."

"Oh no," I groaned looking down at the scene below.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

A group of leucrocottas were up on a makeshift stage, singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" as loud as they could.

Magnus looked confused. "Why do they only know songs from the twentieth century?"

I gave him a look like, What is wrong with you?! "You see this," I gestured to the weirdness below us, "and that's your only question?" I only became more incredulous when I glanced over at my girlfriend and saw her mouthing the words.

Then, despite the monsters being only halfway through the song, they suddenly cut to

Shot through the heart

And you're to blame

Darlin', you give love a bad name

"I'm done," I growled. "I'm just done. You're dead!" I shouted, raising my voice over the music. I raised Riptide and was about to jump off the ledge we were on, but realized that would probably lead to my death. So, I charged down the spiraling staircase-like thing on the sides of the room. Behind me, I heard my friends' footsteps and Annabeth grumbling about my stupidity. So nothing new, then.

When we reached the floor of the cavern, all the leucrocottas immediately swiveled to face us. Even though they kept singing, their faces betrayed their hostility. As I made the first swing towards one of them, their song changed once again.

How come you're always such a fussy young man

Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran

Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan

So eat it, just eat it

"I think they're purposefully picking songs about eating stuff now!" Magnus yelled as Jack danced in front of him, turning dozens of monsters into piles of dust.

"No duh!" Sam shouted back.

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate

Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate

You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate

So eat it

"Why does this sound like Michael Jackson's "Beat It"?" I asked of no one in particular.

"It's the Weird Al parody," Annabeth reminded me.

Don't you tell me you're full

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Get yourself an egg and beat it

Have some more chicken, have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it

Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

The song nearly died out as we killed more and more monsters until there were only two left. One was singing harmony, and the other the melody. I cut off the head of the one singing harmony because (1) it was a monster and needed to be destroyed and (2) I couldn't sing, much less do harmony. Annabeth snuck up behind the one singing melody, and stabbed it right between its eyes, bringing the song to an end.

"I will never look at Weird Al the same way," I stated.

A/N: Yeah, so the vengeful spirit on the summary kinda just...died. It was going to be Nessus, the centaur killed by Hercules, and then I was like nah. Nessus is a centaur, which is technically a monster, so he wouldn't need to be raised from the death. I don't know. It kinda just died. Oh, and, in case you were wondering, the reason the leucrocottas only knew songs from the 20th century is because that's all I listen to. :) I hope you liked this. If you did, or even if you didn't, let me know in that little box down there that lets you write a review. Sayonara!
