Hades

My pupils constricted the moment I pulled out the cylinder. I felt a massive amount of power inside it.

"Alex!"

Someone called out to me and I came back to my senses. My back was completely drenched with sweat. I looked at Annabeth who called out to me "Don't touch that cylinder no matter that you do" I warned before putting it back into the bag. The looked at me in confusion.

"Come with me" I told them "Cortana, come pick us up" I quickly said

"Alex, where are we going?" Annabeth asked me

"Just follow me" I told them

I took them to a secluded area telling Cortana our location. The Pelican came out from being cloaked 3 minutes later in front of us.

The three looked at the Pelican in disbelief. Annabeth and Grover returned back to normal quickly after seeing me coming out from being cloaked multiple times. I told them to get in. "Come on aboard, guys.

"Where are you taking us?" Annabeth asked as she saw me putting in some coordinates.

"I'm helping you with your quest, we're going to grab Ares's shield now." I replied not looking back

"What is the cylinder?" Annabeth asked

I paused "Soon, Annabeth, you will know very soon" I told her

"What are you not telling us" Percy asked looking at me

This time I refused to answer.

"All you got to do now is to grab the shield"

I know that they are angry. But, I cannot tell them unless we want something to go terribly wrong. 'We already got the first two lines of the prophecy, but what about the last two lines' I know the prophecy is not for me, but I can't ignore a potential World War 3 starting because of this.

-Several minutes later-

"We have arrived" I told them "Go get the shield and return back here"

They still didn't look at me.

"Look, I know that you guys are upset that I'm not telling you guys anything" I sighed "But, please just get the shield and you will know everything naturally"

"Promise?" asked Annabeth

"I promise" I smiled "Now, go get the shield, we are running out of time"

Percy and looked at me with doubt, but I still didn't say anything as they left.

I sat on the cockpit's chair looking out into the sky above

I asked Cortana "Do you think I've made the right call?"

"I don't know, Sir, but you must have your reasons"

"I really hope I did" I muttered

-30 minutes later-

-Percy's POV-

Me and Annabeth got a little closer after our little ride in a rollercoaster made by Hephaestus. As we walked back to Alex's ship we became a little upset that Alex didn't say anything. As we got closer to the ship we saw someone waiting for us in a Spartan II Armor.

(I changed the armor to a Spartan 2 armor since Halo 5 came out in 2015 and the current year in the story is 2009)

'W-WHAT'

-Alex's POV-

I wore the armor waiting for them for around 10 minutes before seeing them them. As they came closer to the ship I asked them "Do you have the shield?"

Percy's expression was in complete disbelief "A-Alex?"

"Yes?"

"W-Where did you get that from" looking at the armor with excitement

"Evan gave me it" I replied "Now get in"

I made sure everyone was seated before taking off. We took two hours until we reached Hollywood, one of the entrances to the Underworld.

I woke them up as they slept during flight. "We've arrived"

"Alright, follow me" I told them as we neared the entrance.

The ferryman was expecting us "Lord Hades has been expecting you"

"Lets go" I told them as we boarded the boat

I felt their nervousness but didn't say anything. Anyone would be nervous going to the underworld, especially if they are still alive.

It took us 10 minutes to arrive before Hades Palace

"Alex I have been waiting for you"

"And I have arrived" I replied

"WHERE'S MY MOTHER" Percy yelled

Grover and Annabeth frowned

"HAHAHAHA" Me and Hades laughed

Percy, Grover, and Annabeth was confused on why we were laughing.

"The boy has some guts doesn't he?" Hades said

"Of course, I mean you took his mother after all" I shrugged

"Alright enough jokes, give me back my helm"

"I-"

"We don't have it" I interrupted Percy

"You-"

"But, I do know who does" I told him before he can erupt

Hades calmed down "Who?"

"Ares"

"Ares? Why does that fool have it?"

"Don't know, but what I do know is we have this" I pulled out the cylinder from Percy's backpack

Hades suddenly stood up "The Master Bolt" He narrowed his eyes at me "How?"

"Don't know, Ares gave this along with their back pack"

I felt 3 pairs of eyes staring at me

"You knew?" Percy asked

I shrugged

"You knew but you didn't tell us" Annabeth stated

I looked at them "You was not supposed to know before this"

I turned to Hades "I will give back Zeus his bolt, while they will give you back your helm from Ares"

"WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER" Percy yelled at me again in anger.

"I know you are angry, but we never harmed your mother in the first place, we never planned to anyways" I told him

"What?" he asked in confusion

"Your mother is alive Percy" I told him "She was never dead"
