Right, so I'm so sorry with the VERY, VERY late update, but well, school's pushing me down and so is my other….activity(no I do NOT work in dirty things.) Anyways, sadly to say, I probably won't be continuing with this story, since well, I just can't seem to stay focus on one thing and then I have to go to another. So yeah, it's kind of hard and complicated. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that a majority or at least some have read Flamepaw's story, such an amazing story, except I think hers is more of a Jason and Reyna thing, mine's more of Percy and Annabeth, except that, I haven't really wrote about them in a while, but anyways, after this chapter, I might go in hiatus or someone else can continue writing in my stead until I come back….maybe.

Leo VII

When we met up with our Roman siblings, they weren't what I expected at all. I always thought that because Jason said that they were more about discipline, they would be more tougher and hard to talk to. But boy was I wrong, they were actually chatting and working with each other like we normally would back at Camp. A girl came up to me, she was probably in her early 20's and her face was a little grimy from the blacksmith, ah, now that should be the trademark of Hephaestus/Vulcan kids. She was a short brunette, maybe 4'10, maybe in her twenties, but her eyes, they were different, one was brown and the other was green. I've heard of people having two different eye colors from birth, but it never struck me on how cool it looked.

"Hi, I'm Jackie. As you can see, we really don't have time to talk and I really need those blue-prints you have to make the ship." She seemed friendly enough, and I knew she was right, we didn't have time to talk. But then again, as kids of the Fire God, we never talk, just work on what we're working on.

"Right, I'm Leo Valdez, Supreme Commander of the Argo II." I grinned, shaking her hand. I took out a small disc and pushed a button, a display board and the blueprints started forming. I could see that Jackie and some others were impressed, yep, leave it to me to make a good impression upon me and my siblings.

"Wow, all of these mechanics, these could really help on our ship." She marveled, studying the blue-prints. "Augustus!"

A boy who was probably 10 or 12 came up, unlike the others, he was pretty lanky, tousled black hair and wearing large fire-proof gloves with his goggles gangling around his neck. This kid looks really cool already.

"Yeah?" he asked, his voice was somewhat rough, even for someone his age.

"I need you to make a copy of these blue-prints and change them a little to fit...our style." She hesitated on that last part, but I just shrugged and smiled, my siblings had similar reactions. We needed to work together, that's true, but we also wanted to get to know our new family. I figured the kid might need some help, so I called out Jake.

"Jake, can you help him? He looks like he can use some help." Augustus just pouted, but Jackie smiled and ruffled his hair even more.

"Come on Augustus, a little help won't hurt, after all, he's also your brother too." It probably didn't hit me or anyone in the room until that particular sentence that we were actually related to everyone in this room. Some workers stopped for some moments to stare at us, but they continued on.

"Fine, fine. Come on, I'll show you the blue-prints we have now." He guided Jake, who was looking a little uncomfortable, through some rows of workers.

"Augustus, he's probably the second camper to join at a young age, the first being Jason." She mused, I just nodded my head. "Well, I think it's time we get started on that ship."

They walked around the working Vulcan campers and went outside, to what looks like a Junkyard, but in the middle, there was a ship still in construction, there were many similarities, but this one had a more Romanized style than his ship. He whistled at the sight, even if it was half done, he could tell that the ship was going to be just as good as the Greeks, just almost. He walked closer to the ship just to touch one of the gold shields, but someone slapped his hand away…..hard.

"Ow!"

"The ship's not done yet, so in the mean time, don't touch the ship until we tell you to," explained Jackie, in a rather stern tone.

"But, aren't I supposed to be helping out with the ship?" he asked, rubbing his now red hand.

"Yes, you are, but only with the design and the blueprints, leave the building to us," she replied, and by the sound of her voice, she doesn't want him to talk back, but of course, Leo doesn't take no order either.

"Oh come on, not even with the rooms?" The look of Jackie's face shut him up and he just held his hands up in defense.

"Listen Valdez, we're in the brink of another war, we don't know what you do in the Greek Camp, but here, we don't joke around." Jackie's face warped into the same steely expression that he would see in Jason's face sometimes, he knew that.

"I know, which is why I have to joke around," his voice wasn't joking anymore, but neither was it hostile, his face still retained the same softness but with a serious look.

The rest of the morning was spent around the ship, and Jackie finally relented allowing Leo to tinker with some of room functions. It was going to be an ancient looking ship on the outside, but with very futuristic technology on the outside. Lunch came around and all the campers left the blacksmith to get some food.

He met up with Jake again and like a majority of the Vulcan campers, he too was covered in grime and oil, but it wasn't any different from back home. When they arrived in the mess hall, at least half of the campers have arrived. Piper was sitting down with the Greek campers this time, but they were joined by Dakota and Gwen. Neither Percy, Annabeth, Jason, or Reyna were seen, they were gone, Leo just shrugged this off thinking they'll arrive pretty soon.

Lunch went by pretty good, but the four that were missing hasn't arrived yet. Just as Leo was about to take a sip of his cola, a large blast went through the doors, people immediately went into defense mode, they all had their swords, shields, and armor on right away. There were smoke everywhere, and out of the smoke came out someone Leo knew he didn't like.

Octavian.
