Stranded in the Pacific: Chapter 7

Stephanie's P.O.V

We are home at last. Thank the gods!!

A few minutes ago, I receive a vision that the boat had been magically teleported from one place to another. And I also get the location where Platina and Bella teleported to: Josh's dorm.

I told my friends to go to the dorm, and as soon as we got to the dorm, there stood Josh, Bella and Platina.

Platina started pointing at me, then at Annabeth, then at Gary, and so on and so forth. I guess Platina is doing the standard headcount in order to make sure that everyone is here.

I looked around, trying to find everyone. Platina, Bella, Josh, Mary, Gary, Adam, me, Annabeth, Hippolyta, Layla and Jarren. Perfect.

Me and Josh looked out the window, and the port of Miami beach is clear to see. I saw white sandy beaches with many people playing around the beaches, and relaxing under the sun. I would like to relax under the sun too, since it gave me more energy to use my powers, and makes my skin look a little tanner.

I rubbed my hands together, and as soon as the ship stopped, we are told to come down one by one. As soon as all 8 of us got off the ship, we started to look for a taxi. I saw the chipmunks, in the corner of my right eye. They are jumping up and down because they are relieved after being saved and taken care of by us demigods. I'm sure that the chipmunks will tell Dave, but I don't think the chipmunks even remember since Platina had manipulated the mist so that everyone in the ship had not remembered what Alvin had said in the captain's deck.

Platina got us a taxi, but it's not enough to fit all 8 people in, so we have to ride separate taxis. Unfortunately, there aren't many taxis around, so we decided to get in the huge taxi.

When we got on the huge taxi, I got the feeling that something terrible is going to happen. Everyone is starting to feel uncomfortable, and since it's demigod instincts, we decided to follow it.

We got off the huge taxi, and just then, the taxi started its own engine, and the taxi began to drive by itself.

The taxi is heavily armored, because whatever we tried to hit it with, it always bounces back, like a deflector shield.

Platina raised her hand up in the air, and as I watched, a small amount of black mist began to swirl around Platina's hand. She then pointed it at the uncontrolled taxi, and as the black mist travelled, it travelled in a wave motion, like the formation of Hermes's caduceus, where the snakes are intertwined.

Platina clapped her hands, and at the same time, the black mist collised with each other just near the taxi, and then an explosion the size of a mini nuclear bomb is heard and felt.

We are all thrown at about 40 miles an hour and landed a few hundred meters from where we're standing. I made it with a few scratches. I started to look for my friends.

Annabeth had her arms scorched, but only her skin. Apparently, she was covering her face with her arms in order to shield herself from the impact. That's what I call the child of Athena, wise and clever.

I walked a few hundred meters and found Gary. Gary had burns in his back as he had his back turned at the moment of explosion.

Then I realized what the explosion is. That is stygian mist, the most destructive mist in the universe. I saw that Platina had conjured just about 1 milligrams of stygian mist, and the resulting explosion is worth about 3000 TNTs. Police rushed to the scene and found a broken taxi smashed to pieces. Only its engine that is still running, but the engine had been severely damaged so it sounded like a broken engine.

Platina waved at me, and I ran towards her. As I ran towards Platina, I began to count my friends. Annabeth, Gary, Mary, Platina, Adam, Bella, Josh and me. Mary looked quite injured and she absorbed most of the impact. She had a broken leg, and that is an emergency. We need a direct route to Camp Half-Blood since Mary couldn't walk.

"I'll do it." Hippolyta said.

"Alright." Josh said. "I'm coming with you."

Josh's P.O.V

"Okay then." Hippolyta said. "Hold on!"

I held onto Hippolyta's hand, while Hippolyta held onto Mary's. Then, Hippolyta is doing this transport through the earth thingy and we appeared in the middle of Campfire.

Strangely, there's no one there, since the campers are having their meal in the dining pavilion, since it's dinner time by now, which is 19:30.
