Hello ya'll and welcome back!

Let's see what that creature is.

××××××××××××××××××××

.: Two's P.o.V. :.
.: Third Person :.

Two looked up at the gigantic reptilian creature. It was huge, wingless, and had a very long slender body, like a giant snake. It had green scaly hide, with long sharp talons, rows of sharp teeth, and terrifying red eyes. This creature was called a drakon, would be happy to eat them up for dinner.

The drakon roared as the dracenae hissed in delight. "Ssshall we play with thessse demigodsss before we capture them?" They had asked among themselves, fangs flashing in a gruesome smile, "It would be sad if we quickly bring them back to the Pretender."

Two stood beside Eight, brandishing her gleaming bronze dagger. Apples hissed, a low grumble coming in his fruity throat as he stood infront of Five, and Una ran behind him. Four in the other hand nervously pulled out a breath mint from that pouch he had inside his cloak, but he quickly shoved it back in and pulled out a ten-ton hammer in which he somehow managed to carry.

"What do you want?" Eight asked, brandishing her spear to the monster.

The drakon let out a low growl, eyeing the children like delicious new food. The dracanae made a shrill sound, "You will never know the answers from me, half-blood. I guess we can play with them before capturing them," the first dracanae, whom seems to be the leader, hissed, while turning to the drakon, "Get them."

The drakon charged, Eight looked up to the drakon, her shoulders nearly sinking but Two pulled her aside and turned to the others, "Don't look it it, it will make you terrified!" She warned.

She looked up to the vent above and saw that Three, being the biggest, reached her hand out while holding out what seemed to be an anaconda Mono.

"Climb on!" She called. Mono stook out his tongue, his reptilian eyes blinking in such distaste that he just seriously became a rope. A living rope. Two could nearly laugh.

Five and Una quickly climbed up, the drakon didn't like playing anymore so he quickly reached out, snapping his fangs at any of the nearest child. Unfortunately, that nearest child was Two, and it managed to scar her lower shank.

Two skiddled to a halt, hissing in pain as blood poured out of her shank, just near the ankle. The drakon turned at her, eyes staring into her soul, causing her to freeze in terror. The drakon roared while opening its maw and nearly making Two its snack, yet it didn't happen as Eight had scarred the drakon's scaly hide.

The drakon lurched back, Four grabbed Two away and tossed the hammer onto the serpent's head, causing it to be dazed for a moment.

Apples climbed his way up the vent, next was Four. Two turned back and saw Eight quickly giving the drakon some more scars before running along to the snake rope Mono. Two stopped and looked down on Mono, "Sorry if this hurts."

Mono hissed, in she noticed was a bit sarcastically, like he was was saying, 'Oh sure go, pull apart my body just to escape Mister bigger snaky than me here.' Two gripped onto the scaly body and started to climb, Eight smiled apologetically at Mono before climbing as well.

They climbed into the vent and backed out. Three pulled Mono away just as the drakon hissed, slamming his head to the small vent duct - just going to make his headache.

Three let go of Mono and he quickly turned back to a human, holding his back in pain while lying on the floor, "Ow that hurts," he mumbled.

"Get up snaky, we obviously can't go through that way, we'll try another one," Two said, Mono just glared at her before pushing himself up shakily, Six tried to help he gestured that he can do it on his own.

Eight snicked, "You act like an old man," she joked. Mono glared at her, "Shut up before I turn to a snake and poison you."

There was a rumble on the outside of the vent duct, the drakon was screeching as it tried to push through the small vent.

"We should go," Seven suggested and Two nodded, "Before that thing collapses the whole ventilation system," she said while walking, yet after one step on the wounded leg, she hissed and lightly jerked back from the pain.

"You're wounded!" Scarf noticed. Two inspected her wound, "I'll be fine," she said. The drakon still was ramming its head on the vent duct, trying to force it open and making the whole vent shake. Two inspected that if it could make it wider, then the creature could slither in.

"We should go," Two said, Five frowned, "But can't you just eat some ambrosia first-"

"Now!" Two ordered, they all froze from Two's sudden shout of order, but she was right. They quickly started running farther away, just as the drakon had managed to make the vent duct just right for his size.

Two tried to run, ignoring the pain down her shank, One noticed she was having a hard time walking, so he helped her. Two smiled at him, "Thanks," she said.

"You could've healed first," One huffed, Two huffed, "Tell that creature to slow down then," she said while pointing back to the hissing drakon chasing after them.

They reached it out the other vent, which Seven and Six had pushed open the grille. They hopped on out, and the drakon busted the vent open, clearly destroying the wall, and probably other vents or pipes too.

The drakon wasn't happy. At all. It glowered  over them before whipping it's tail at Two, seeming to think he had some unfinished business with her. Two stumbled, which caused One to go down with her.

"One! Two!" Una cried, running up to them. The beast hissed at her and grabbed her with it's tail, choking her. It then faced the others and bared it's fangs, attacking them.

"Una!" One cried.

Two pushed herself up, but she saw the snake ladies come out from the vent, carrying a net.

"Let's finish playing, shall we?" She hissed while casting the net over her and One. They both could had quickly pushed it away but it was heavy, causing them to be entrapped.

All of Hades broke loose after that.

.: Six's P.o.V. :.
.: Third Person :.

"Uhm Shadow Six, now is a good time to call your dog!" Six yelled just before the drakon, with Una at its tail, tried to swipe her under her feet.

Shadow Six did a whistle, three times. Nothing came, "It's not working!"

The drakon let go of Una and tossed her to the wall. It was clearly mayhem going on, but somehow, Six could notice it all. Mono, Four, Three, Eight and Seven were all trying to attack the drakon and those dracenae who joined in the fight. Two, One, and Una tried to stuggle out from the net but it seemed to be heavy, and the rest would have to get through the snaky creatures before even getting them out of those bounds.

But still, there had to be a way to escape, there must be.

"Shadowtravel," Six realized, Shadow Six ducked just before the drakon tried to do the same whip tail thing on her too, "What?"

"Shadowtravel us away from here, you can do that right?" Six exclaimed, Shadow Six nodded, "I... I could... But with this much children could kill me," she said.

"This thing is too quick!" Three grunted, whom Six had noticed held on her cloak while in the same time scarred the creature, "We have to run," she said.

"Oh no we can't allow that," one of the dracenae hissed, she lunged at Three but she quickly pulverized her without much thought.

The drakon hissed and grabbed its newest victim, Four. Four was trying to just get free, but only caused the drakon to squeeze on tighter, "Stupid snake!" Four yelled at it, or at the snake ladies. The drakon growled at him and slammed him to the ground knocked out unconcious.

"Okay, I am liking Three's idea," Eight said, clearly exhausted from all her lighting casting and attacks. Apples growled, "Apples!" It said, before poofing into grains.

"What a brave karpos," Mono noted.

They ran, it felt bad to leave the others behind, but what more can they do? The drakon and dracenae still chased them. They seemed to be just a small number but gods they are frikin fast, no wonder they weren't dead yet.

Shadow Six tried her whistle again, hoping Tiberius would show up. Soon by the closest darkness the hound bounded out, barking. But it froze when it saw the drakon, ears flattening. It would've been understandable, if the other monster was actually the same size as him.

"There he is! Guys, we can escape by riding Tiberius!" Shadow Six said. Eight blinked, "Riding that hellhound, well if he is going to be nice to me then sure!"

"We won't let you escape!" A dracenae yelled while tossing another of those nets. It was aimed for Scarf, but Five pushed him away, "Ow! These things are heavy!" He cried out.

"Five you idiot!" Scarf yelled, Three grabbed his arm and pulled him along, "He saved your life, now we should keep going!"

Shadow Six and Six made it to the hellhound quickly, who was really itching to leave now, Shadow Six patted him, "We have to wait for the others okay Tiberius?" She said in her calmest voice but the hound whimpered.

They climbed on and waited for the others to climb on. Mono climbed up careful not to spook the dog, followed by Three and Scarf.

Tiberius was getting more terrified the close the drakon was coming to him. He whimped while backing up to the shadows.

"Tiberius wait-"

Tiberius was too scared to know if the other two also held on to the hound, he had shadowtravelled away.

Six felt the darkness grip on her, wanting to pull her into their despair and agony. This was quite new to her, and she didn't like it one bit. Shadow Six wasn't fazed about it for one bit.

When Tiberius pulled them out that shadows, they were now in another room, but Six couldn't figure out what room was it or where they are now. But now they are for sure safe.

"Uh... Guys?"

They looked down to see Eight gripping onto Tiberius' hind leg, she was pale, well the others were as well from that shadow travel. But Eight seemed paler.

"Seven couldn't make it."

==================

.: Seven's P.o.V. :.
.: Thrid Person :.

Seven had blacked out, from what he remembered, he and Eight were about to at least grab Tiberius' hind legs before he scampered into the shadows, but the dracanae grabbed his sweater and pulled him away from the darkness just as Tiberius left.

Now, he felt a panging. Like bars being rattled.

"Wake up. Wake up!"

And a loud bang.

Seven jolted awake, once again, he was in a cage, he looked around and saw none of his friends. But infront of him, there was a small girl with white hair in a ponytail with some hair curled on the sides of her face and straight bangs covering her eyes. She had lipstick and a green Victorian Era dress. Seven couldn't see her eyes, but he could feel her glaring down at him like a new toy she wanted to destroy.

And on the background, there was loud cheering, hissing, and growling. They all seemed to be happy shouts, but what they were happy for, Seven didn't want to know.

The girl infront of him smirked at him, "Oh a son of Poseidon. Just like she said. Well Antaeus will love this!" She giggled. Even though it was annoying, somehow Seven found it charming, which was weird.

She turned over to the side, and now Seven noticed there was monsters standing beside his cage, "Take him to where his friends are. And make sure he'll be the last to die."

"Yes Miss Pretender," they both said.

"And, bring the traitor to me, you know who she is," The Pretender ordered. The monsters bowed again, "Yes ma'am."

They quickly went over and pulled Seven away to where his friends were. The Pretender watching all the way.
