《Katastrophe Jackson and The World's End》Who are yo--

I started an IM call, and said "Hey guys! Guess who woke up again?". "Oh great. We'll be over in a minute" They responded. A minute later, Everyone came into our cabin. "Percy, I told you to not over use your powers, You were supposed to travel then back I've a twelve hour time period. Not thirty seconds". Annabeth scolded him. "Wait, Annie. I have something that I need to tell you about Ragnarok". Magnus told Annabeth, before she said "Ragnarok has developed, and you cannot stop it prevent the events anymore". "How-" Magnus asked. "We are in the same sort of situation. We received a prophecy a week ago that could signal the doom of the world as we know it. Right now, the group is you, me, and her" she said, while pointing at me". Annabeth said. Magnus said "So why us?". "Cause of the prophecy wording". I said. The prophecy says
As worlds collide, like never to be,
The blood triplets shall see,
What was really meant to be,
Underneath the world tree
Worlds collide, means different pantheons, like Greeks, Romans, and Norse. The world tree is Yggdrasil, from your Norse mythology, and the blood triplets.." I trailed off at, when Annabeth picked it up and said to Magnus "We believe the blood triplets to be me, you, and Marie". "Marie, Marie An-Mei? Our cousin living in New Jersey? Why is she not here too?" Magnus asked. Annabeth responded "She has been missing for three years. She managed to disappear off the grid better than you have. I was getting updates on your general location about once a month, but last I heard from her, she was living in a town called Rockford, Michigan".
"So, we need to travel to Michigan then. Have you booked a flight yet?". Magnus asked. "NO FLYING!!!" She madly yelled. "Why not?" Magnus and I asked. "Magnus, I know that you are Norse, but there is an issue with flying. Zeus, the greek god of the sky, and current king of the greek pantheon, has an issue with me. He hates my fiance, and therefore, would not hesitate to strike us out of the sky, even though, Kat, one of his blessed, will be on the plane, he is ruthless". She replied.
"So, are we planning to take a car, bus, or a train?" I asked. "Train. They are the easiest to get on, and usually get demigods farther". She continued with "Pack a small bag, a backpack at most, that you can keep on you at all times except showering. Pack essentials first, body wash, toothbrushes, and other such things. We also need to pack godly measures, ambrosia, nectar, whatever Norse stuff you need, Magnus. Leave everything important, precious, or breakable here at camp. We'll be leaving tomorrow at one in the afternoon, if time allows. Go pack and say goodbye to everyone".
Everyone met up again at the camp border, me, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Chiron, Lupa, Magnus, Sam (The valkyrie), Alex, child of Loki, Hearth, an elf, Blitz, a dwarf, and a few others from the Norse group. "So, everyone has five changes of clothes, three toothbrushes, and three sets of other essentials, five hundred dollars, a hundred drachmas, hundred denarius, hundred yuan, and a lot of healing supplies? Right?" Annabeth asked. "I only have about half of that. How well can you guys pack? Especially when you aren't carrying anything?!?" Magnus asked me. "I have an array of magical items that were gifted to me. One of them is a small pouch that can hold everything that I want, while still staying on my magical charm bracelet. So, I actually packed two to three times that, along with about enough non-perishables to provide a weeks worth of meals for a group of ten" I responded. "Well. I thought I was over prepared. I packed seven sets of clothes, and a decent amount of other things. Sorry Magnus. I forgot to put the enchantment on your bag" Annabeth commented. She then quickly sewed a patch onto the bag, and told him "Go grab everything else you need. Shove it in, and you can reorganize everything later". Magnus than ran off, and came back twenty minutes later. They then finished saying goodbye, and started heading off.

We arrived at the Empire State Building, where we were dropped off. We then walked to the nearest train station, and bought tickets for the first leg of the trip. Our plan was to go to Buffalo in the first day, cross a small part of Canada to get to Detroit in the second day, and make it to Rockford by the third. Our group than boarded the train with no difficulties.
We settled into our private car, at the very end of the train, and got comfortable. Because of Annabeth, we made a guard rotation, so there would always be at least one of us awake, and ready to fight anything that came by. I was on first watch, with Magnus after me, and Annabeth after him. As I was watching out the window, I saw a wolf running along the side of the train, that appeared to have various small runes covering it. From looking at it, I knew it was not a Greek monster. So, I shook awake Magnus, who was taking a nap, and told him "Look out the window, cause whatever that wolf is outside, it isn't Greek..."
Magnus then jumped up, and ran over to the window. "Odd. That looks like it is Geri, the Greedy One. But his tunes are said to be green, as that is the color of hunger. But his runes are red, almost black. The only other time that I've seen this is when..." Magnus then stopped talking, and ran over to a window, which was open, and jumped out, and onto Geri, who then tried to bite Magnus' head off. Magnus then started climbing around on the wolf, which was the size of a truck, and praying over the runes. The runes then started flickering colors, from red to green, but then went back to red. Magnus then yelled "I need you to get out your bow, and fire a specialized arrow at the wolf. The arrow must be made out of something from your pantheon. In response to that, I fired a celestial bronze arrow at the wolf, which flew right through the wolf, as if it were not there, or as if it was a mortal. Magnus then wrapped a ring of rope around the wolf's neck, and threw a stone at the wolf hard. After the stone left his hand, he jumped off the wolf, climbed back through the window, and watched the wolf disappear into iron- colored sparkles.
"We need to wake up Annabeth" We both said. "Not it!" We both said. Annabeth then walked over, and asked us "What mess did you get us in while I was asleep?" "Well, a Norse monster attacked us, and Magnus made it go away" I responded. Magnus sighed, and said "While Kat was on her watch, she saw a monster that was Norse, and woke me up. I went over, neutralized it, and teleported it away. While doing so, I learned some very interesting things". Annabeth asked "Why didn't you kill it?" Magnus replied "Well, that's complicated. The monster that attacked us was Geri, one of the wolves of Odin. Geri, is a peaceful beast, as long as you do not take his food. Geri is also very important to the Norse mythology, as he is a part of Ragnarok, so I could not kill him without causing damage to the Nine Realms. We learned something else. Your Greek weapons don't work on my Norse monsters, and I would assume that Norse weapons don't work on your monsters".

Annabeth stopped, and eventually said "We need to get on a plane. Now. If the peaceful are being disturbed, and we cannot hurt monsters from other pantheons, we need to get to Mei, before her pantheon kills us". Magnus said "But what about your god of the sky? Won't he try to kill us?" I respond "If he does, he'll have Hades to pay. Dad would be mad over my death, Percy would be rampaging because of Annie and I, and many of the Olympian gods are reasonable. Uncle Hades is smart and very level headed, and Aunts Athena, Artemis, and Demeter would be sad over Annie's death. And then there would also be Auntie Hestia. Zeus would be dead before he knows it". "Then let's get off this train already!" Magnus said.
"Nobody saw anything odd, right?" Annabeth asked, as we got off the plane. "Well, I might have seen something red, that was flying in the sky" I told them. "Seriously!?!?!?!" Annabeth and Magnus yelled. "And you didn't bother to tell either of us?!?" Annabeth continued. "It was two minutes ago, and we just landed. I figured that we did not have anything to worry about". I responded. "Well, if it was red, it might have been a dragon?" Magnus questioned. "We need to find Mei" Annabeth started, and then started running off towards the exit of the private airstrip. We followed her, and we ran to the bus station, and bought rides to The Corner Bar, which is a popular place to eat in downtown Rockford. Once we ordered our food, we started talking about where we could find Marie. "Marie always loved the water-" Annabeth said, before Magnus interrupted her, saying "Great Lake State... Remember? We are practically surrounded by water while we are in this state". "If you would let me continue talking, I was about to say that she is probably on a tree, on the other side of the river, in a spot where she can still view the river and dam, but it is not easy to find her unless you are trying" Annabeth said. Then, we started heading towards the small forest area. We got there, and then we started looking in the trees.
Once we passed through, they saw Marie, who was in a defensive stance, with her katanas crossed in front of her. She then immediately sheathed her katanas on her back, than ran over and hugged Magnus and Annabeth. "I missed you guys so much!" She excitedly exclaimed. After they stopped hugging, Mei (Mei is Marie's nickname) grabbed her katanas, and drew into a defensive stance again."How did you get into here? Normal mortals cannot see or go through the glamour".The rest of us drew our weapons, and got into defensive stances, Annabeth with her dagger, Magnus with Jack, and me with my sword. "Mei, Magnus and I are demigods" Annabeth said. Mei responded "So you are children of the Chinese gods? I learned that I am the daughter of Fu Xing, the god of happiness, prosperity and good fortune. He is also the bringer of good luck" Annabeth quickly responded "Magnus, Kat, and I are not actually Chinese demigods. Magnus is a Norse demigod, and he is the son of Frey, the god of fertility and prosperity. Kat and I are Greek demigods. I am the daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. Kat is a Greek-based clear-sighted mortal, blessed of the Olympians, and adopted daughter of Poseidon, the god of earthquakes and the ocean"
"Well. That explains the fighting stances and your choice of weaponry. Now, why are you wearing shorts and t-shirts when there is going to be a giant snow storm tomorrow? It may be warm right now, but the weather can be quite unpredictable in the middle of August". "Wait,,, WHAT?!?" The three of us exclaimed. "It's the end of June" I said confused, while Annabeth groaned, and said "Not again...". "What do you mean by not again?" Magnus asked. Annabeth replied "Long story short, Lotus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas? They are run by Greek monsters who make you so distant and distracted, that you can spend years in there. On other terms, we need to get back to New York". "But don't we need to go to Boston?" Magnus asked. "We need to get back to Camp because we need to gather the troops.We have some time, so I would rather meet up at Hestia, rather than Boston. So, if we are going to do this, we need to get the Greeks, and then go to Boston and get the Norse. Especially since different pantheons cannot kill each other's monsters. WAIT!!! Do you have any Chinese demigods that you know, that might be willing to help us in this war?" I asked Marie.

This story is definitely "R" rated maybe even NC-17 but don't expect explosions, blood and orgasms at every page turn.
