"A surprise party?" Altria repeated a few of the words of her master, Gudao Fujimaru, the 48th provisional master of Chaldea, with his sister(Ritsuka Fujimaru) who's the 49th master.

"Yeah, I need you to stall Mika for a few days, like go sightseeing in the places she likes to go." He said while he was preparing for one of the missions that Da Vinci told him and his sister to go to, he already asked Medusa Lancer to come with him a moment ago through via mind link.

"You mean like those road trips that (Banana)Berserker had mentioned?" She asked and he nodded, after a few convincing words she agreed to his orders.

There was a knock on the door and one of the Employees of Chaldea appeared from it, "Mr. Fujimaru, I'm here to inform you that we're almost ready for Rayshift and your sister has arrived at the Command room." He said and Gudao nodded at him.

=-Flashback Ends-=

Altria glanced at Mika, who was sleeping soundly and returned her eyes to the road again.

She has been driving (while taking small stops to eat some food) since last night and it was now early in the morning. Like wake up for breakfast morning, so the car was almost running out of fuel, luckily she spotted a gas station which was a few minutes away.

"Nngh..." Altria looked at Mika to see her face scrunched up and she slightly moved like she got uncomfortable with her sleeping posistion, 'Must be a nightmare or something' She thought and used her free hand to softly pat her shoulder to might calm the 12 yrs. old girl. But went back to driving once she sees that she's getting closer to the gas station.

~Mika's Dreamscape~

"Where...am I now?" Mika said as she looked around, when she had finally slept, she was suddenly in a pitch black void instead of a meadow or field she usually dreamed of being on.

She looked down to see someone looking at a large thick red fog which was two meters away from her, what surprised her was that it literally had two golden eyes, it seems to be looking at the guy. Mika tried to identify the boy, but it seems that she couldn't seeing that she was too far.

"I need some news about that son of Poseidon" The fog said in an old, cold, and powerful tone which is almost like finger nails against a chalkboard. Just who was in that fog..?

"He already is on his way to the St. Luis Arch and plan A is about to start" The boy answered obediently like it was normal "And that god now has the bolt, so everything will succeed, I can assure you my lord."

Then there was a snort "How can you be so sure?"

"Hades already have a plan on his own" The boy-who was now dubbed as 'Larry' by Mika, had stated "He holds Percy's mother in captivity for the exchange of the bolt and his helmet of darkness"

"I hoped this plan will work boy. Or else" The fog said in satisfaction with its eyes looking pleased. But it only made 'Larry' shudder when the thick fog threaten him at the end of his sentence, the teen gulped before speaking once again "I also have another news my lord."

"What is it?" The fog, which Mika also dubbed 'Ford'(fog+lord) asked in bored tone. "One of the new campers that came with Percy, her name is Mika Akashi, and she might be called one of Percy's best friends."

"And?" 'Ford' said in disinterested tone while Mika was now confused, this means 'Larry' is a bad guy working for a threat and is a spy at camp half-blood, but who was it?

"She's a multi-weapon wielder and excellent in archery too" 'Larry' said slowly. Mika recounted the times she had used different kinds of weapons and how her aim was almost good as a dart player which made her facepalm at what she had done to make herself in trouble, but those words peeked the fog's interest "Is there something special about this girl?"

'Larry' gulped even harder "She...Chiron said that she isn't a demigod even if her own ability and skill is almost like ours since she stalled the Minatour once for Percy and a few others." The boy took a deep breath before speaking again "The next was that she can summon weapons out of thin air." With that, Mika wanted to hit her head with a brick, thinking she should've let Chiron kill the Hellhound instead of her.

'Wait a minute, the only male teen who knows I'm mortal besides Grover and Percy is...' Mika thought until 'Ford' spoke again.

"I want the girl, I want that girl in. No, I need to see her myself. But, before that, you said that she can summon weapons out of thin air, explain it to me." 'Larry' quickly explained that he saw Mika appear with a spear suddenly behind her back before killing the hellhound and a few other things. He and Mika both flinched when they heard 'Ford' laugh which sent the biggest chill to Mika's spine.

"I see" 'Ford' said "So, that's what happened. This is interesting"

"What is, my lord?" 'Larry' asked. "Shut up!" Ford barked and 'Larry' quickly shut his mouth "I want to meet this girl, bring her to me. I wanted to explore her mind"

"The truth is.." 'Larry' bit his lowered lips before he continued "Mika has left the camp, she went back to meet her family. So she is already on her way somewhere that I even don't know"

"You useless!" 'Ford' spat at the boy, "I don't care how you will do it! But you will have to find out where this girl is headed and tell me in the next second! If you don't, I will punish you!" The foggy being said and its glowing eyes seemed to look up to where Mika was which made her slightly scared. The fog let out an evil laugh "So, you've heard everything. Be grateful that you have been invited into my little game." 'Shit...' Mika thought and now wished she's out of this nightmare while 'Larry' looked confused by 'Ford's' remark "What do you mean my lord?"

"Shut up!" The fog barked "You ignorant little mortal! Did I have to explain everything to you?!"

"I'm-I'm sorry my lord" 'Larry' stuttered as he apologized. The 'Ford' made him disappear by surrounding him in his fog and seemed to look at Mika in the eyes. "Soon child, soon you will join my army!" It said and the fog grew out a long clawed hand which seemed to try to grab Mika who quickly closed her eyes and sheilded herself. But she didn't notice that her ring glowed brighter which made the hand slightly flinch.

Mika only notice the bright light from her eyelids and a shrilled scream that sounded like something-or someone, was hurt.

+End of Dream+

Mika gasped, as she opened her eyes from the nightmare while breathing heavily.

"The fuck..." She mumbled and rubbed her eyes, looking around, she was alone in the car and was in a gas station.

"Your awake," looking at the open window it was just Arturia drinking a coke can, I nodded with a yawn while she handed me a water bottle, "It'll take a while before we go, so drink up." She said.

"Are we already in Vermont?"

I asked after taking a sip, "Nope. We're right near the Amtrak station so we can go to that place you liked." She said and I almost spat out my drink, "W-why? Did something happen? I kinda promised Solomon that I'll return home." I said and the Altered Servant explained what had happened before leaving Chaldea.

/|§_~_§|

"Oh and Altria?" Gudao said before closing the door to his room, "If Mika asks about what Doc said to her. He already agreed with the surprise party and Da Vinci is just about to tell him about the road trip you and Mika will be having. So it's okay." He said to her, "Sure but if something wrong happens in this trip it is not my fault." She said before disappearing into golden dust.

_-+=+-_

"So basically, we're having our own road trip, I also heard that Crude woman say that she'll be in a beach at Los Angeles from the Hanging Gardens with some other servants for summer break with the Fujimaru's when they come back from Rayshift. If we make it in time, maybe we'll be there first before them." Altria explained, "So we're going to the Gateway Arch by train?" I asked and she hummed as a yes while emptying her drink.

I then realised something, "How will we pay for the tickets?" Which made Altria give a confused look and pointed at me. "Don't you have Blondie's gates? He must have a credit card or something." She pointed out, ah that's right I almost forgot! Gil(Kid Archer) gave me the key, literally. (Almost all Gates have keys! Duh!) "Well it'll take a while since it can be a mess inside. I'll be right back to get one." I said to her and went to the mini store which was right next to a fruit stand.

Going into their bathroom, I raised my hands and did a motion like I was tearing into something, then a medeum sized golden portal appeared in front of me. I reached my hands into the portal and felt many stuff I, or the 3 other Gilgamesh-es kept.

Pulling something out. It's an old book that has a skull, grapes, a sword and two shield on the cover with the words Enchiridion. Opening the book, it revealed codes, guidelines and other stuff about and for heroes. There's even a chapter on how to kiss a princess! Putting that back in the portal and fishing something out again, was a weird green gem. It's the size of the palm of my hand, and I suddenly felt powerful as I held on to it for too long making me put it back quickly. Sticking two of my arms in, I got something weird again. One was a gold key with a symbol of Aquarius and the other is a medium sized pink and gold heart shaped brooch with a small crown on top, it also has seven small crystals too. In the centre, it had a carving of a smiling Crescent moon which was below a round red gem. How do they get these things???

Quickly placing those back in, I put my whole arm in to try and find something rectangular and small. When I did, it was a golden credit card "Finally," I sighed and closed the portal. I flushed the toilet like I was actually using it and went out of there.

—(^*-*^)—

Going back to Altria-who I think was eating the last double cheeseburger.

We drove to the Amtrak Station to go to Missouri, what happened to the car? Some might ask.

We just left it.

It's rentable so nothing can happen or anything.

"Did you see that man's face when I gave that card to him?" Altria chuckled as she and I walked to our train. It turns out the tickets going to Missouri had sold out so we picked the tickets to go to Denver since it was the only tickets available that was near Missouri for some reason. When she bought the tickets, the man who was selling them was shocked when he saw how much did one of Gil's card have as he swiped it in. "I'll guess the King of heroes has a lot of money in that card," I said with a small laugh.

Entering the train, I spotted some familiar people who were walking to our direction. "What the..." I mumbled as I narrowed my eyes. Those were Percy and the others! "Mika?" Altria asked but then glanced at where I was looking.

I felt her nudge me away before they could see me since the train was crowded with people going to their seats and pulling up their bags and suitcases. "Ignore them," Altria said and pulled my hoodie on my head and pushed me lightly to our assigned seats. Luckily, we weren't noticed and they passed by us unknowingly.

A few minutes later I sighed in content but didn't let down my hood.

So I guess my adventure just started, no?..
