The Lost Heroes
"Boys gather round! I have an announcement!"
"Leo, we're standing right next to you," Frank stated.
"Even better!" Leo replied. "I have gathered the four of you here to the inner sanctum that is Bunker 9 for a reason. What is that reason you ask? Why it's right over there under that sheet," He continued pointing to a bunch of blobs under a sheet. "Now I'm sure you're wondering what is covered by that sheet right there..."
"Not really," Nico shrugged.
"Maybe a little," Percy admitted.
Jason shrugged. "You're gonna tell us anyway."
Leo walked over to the sheet and held it. "Ready for awesomeness?"
"Just get on with it Valdez," Nico said rolling his eyes.
Leo obliged and pulled back the sheet to reveal... Instruments?
"Today boys! We will be starting a band!" Leo declared.
Four pairs of eyes looked at one another confused before landing back on Leo.
"How about we don't do that and say we did," Nico suggested.
"Oh come on! It will be awesome! I even painted the keyboard black with skulls for you!" Leo argued.
"How about the fact that none of us know how to play?"
"You all can learn," Leo decided grabbing Nico by the arm and pulling him over to stand in front of the keyboard. Leo turned back to the other boys. "Frank that bass is yours. Jason you got the guitar. I have the drums and that means Percy you're singing."
"You can sing?" Frank asked Percy confused.
"Uhh... Maybe?" Percy answered with a shrug.
"When deciding who was who I was sitting at the water and I saw the mermaids. And then I thought about Sirens. The singing girls who murder guys. And I thought well they are ocean and seay. So I figure you ought to be top," Leo explained shoving instruments into Frank and Jason's hands before tossing Percy a mic. "Well? Let's see if you can sing."
Percy caught the mic. "Um... What am I supposed to sing?"
"Sing Happy Birthday. But put so much emotion into it. Sing it like I'm Simon Cowell."
Percy watched the others waiting for him before he sighed and stared at the floor as he began to sing. "Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday dear- dear... Uh?" Percy looked up to the other boys staring at him with wide eyes. He blinked. "Am I that bad?"
"Complete opposite actually," Frank answered slowly. "I guess Leo's siren theory is right."
"Course it is," Leo nods. "Now we need to get you three to learn to play your instruments. Or at least make something sound good."

"Okay," Nico said before taking a sip of his water. "I'll admit this was kinda fun."
"Just warn us next time you turn on the drum's pyrotechnics," Jason told Leo with a pointed look.
"Yeah... Sorry about that..." Leo laughed.
The five boys sat in a circle on the floor after a successful first band practice.
"If we are a band what's our name?" Percy asked.
"Leo and the other four."
"No," the other four said as one.
"Maybe we could do something with our names?" Frank suggested.
"Leo is Awesome?"
"The Lost Heroes," Nico said.
"Ooh I like that," Percy smiled.
"Agreed," Jason nodded. "Any opposed?" No one did. "Alright. The Lost Heroes it is."

"Hey have either of you seen Nico?" Hazel called walking over to where Piper, Calypso and Annabeth stood.
"Nope," Piper answered. "We've been searching for Jason, Leo and Percy too."
"I haven't seen Frank really either..."
"What's the point of all you guys coming to visit Camp if they disappear?" Annabeth said.
Calypso nodded. "I was looking forward to spending time with all of you. I don't really know the Romans as well."
"Have you guys checked Bunker 9?" Hazel asked.
"That's our next stop," Piper replied turning to lead the way.
~~~~
"Leo!" Calypso called from outside Bunker 9.
Cursing came from various voices and random noises are heard before and the girls are allowed inside.
Off to the side is a large and totally inconspicuous thing under some cloth but in the center of the floor the boys lay on the ground.
Frank eyed the other four boys warily. After lots of careful thought he speaks. "Jason... Got any kings?"
"Oh come on!" Jason shouted flinging the card to Frank. "You have to be cheating or something?"
"How do you cheat in Go Fish?" Percy asked.
"He- he could've had Leo set up some mirrors or something!"
"I'd be using them to win myself," Leo replied.
"Jason. Sevens," Frank said ignoring the conversation.
Jason give Frank a look as he hands his card over. "How are you doing this?"
"He's looking at the reflection in your glasses," Nico answered.
"Frank!"
Frank only ignored Jason. "Percy got any nines?"
"Nope go fish," Percy replied.
"This isn't fair he cheated!" Jason shouted.
"Yeah yeah. Cry me a river," Nico said rolling his eyes. "Just give me that Ace and those Two while your at it."
"Nope I'm done!" Jason declares flinging his cards on the ground.
"What are you all doing?" Annabeth asked for the entrance.
"We are playing Go Fish," Percy informed her.
"Well we are," Leo corrected. "Jason is throwing a Kylo Ren Hissy Fit."
(A/N that's for you Heather ! I wrote the same thing in my English book. P.S. Don't kill me...)
"And that's why we heard yelling and cursing?" Hazel asked.
"Jason has quite the mouth on him. Tsk tsk," Nico replied. "Piper be sure to wash his mouth out with soap."
"What?" Jason shouted.
"Hey Leo! I brought the stuff you wanted!"
Eye turn to Will Solace who walked through the still open door carrying a large box of unknown items.
"Put it over there," Leo instructs pointing to the large sheet covered things.
Will nodded and set the box down where instructed. "I can't wait to see you guys in action on Friday night."
"What's happening Friday night?" Calypso asked.
"Nothing!" Five boys shouted at once.
"Will?" Piper started. "What's happening Friday night. Tell us."
Will tried to ignore the charmspeak as his eyes drifted to the five boys on the floor who shook their heads. His eyes then went back to the girls and their menacing glares.
A bead of sweat rolled down Will's face as he looked between the two groups. After a moment he picked the right decision.
He ran.
"So whatever is happening is Friday then?" Annabeth asked. "We'll see you Friday night then."
~~Friday~~
The girls walked together head for the campfire when a new face joined their group.
"Reyna!"
Hugs are shared as Reyna arrives. "Good to see you all," she said with a small smile. "The Hunters are right behind me."
"Yes we are!" Thalia shouted. "I have arrived! Your lives are now better!"
"Where are the boys?" Reyna asked.
"Who cares?" Thalia responded.
"We haven't seen much of them," Hazel told Reyna. "They are hiding something and we aren't allowed to know until later tonight."
"I was able to get out of Jason that is happening at the campfire," Piper informed the group. "So hopefully not much longer."
Once everyone was settled at the campfire and the Apollo cabin had lead their song all of them walk off but Will.
"Okay people there is one more song and it's not gonna be lead by us. It's by the uh-um..." Will's sister Kayla runs on and whispers in his ear. "The Lost Heroes! And they will be doing a cover of Break Your Little Heart by All Time Low!"
People clap uncertainly as Will walks off and instruments suddenly appear on stage.
"Godsdamnit Nico! What did I say about shadow-traveling!" Will's voice shouted.
"I'm not shadow-traveling myself!" Nico's voice defended.
After a short pause Percy, Nico, Jason, Leo and Frank take their place at their instruments.
"They formed a band!" Thalia laughed. "Yo Stolls record this!"
"Already am!" Connor shouted back.
"Copies will be sold starting at breakfast!" Travis informed the crowd.
Leo who sat at the drum banged his sticks together four times before Jason began the guitar intro.
The crowd watched with awe and confusion as Percy began to sing. Many with the thought: Wait, Percy can sing? And since when do all of them play instruments?
Wide awake, my mistake so predictable
You were fake, I was great nothing personal
I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
Here Nico jumped in to sing the backup.
Wait. Nico sings? Is that what he does alone is is cabin all day?
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
I'm gonna break your little heart in two
Some of the girls eyes met: Is this their way of breaking up with us? Cause if it is I'm gonna pound all of them.
Meanwhile Thalia was trying not to fall on the floor from laughing so hard at their faces. Rachel (who had joined the group) was turning as red as her as she laughed.
Party queen, cause a scene so ridiculous
Little dress, maybe less so conspicuous
You're falling, who's crashing now?
(Who's crashing, who's crashing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
I'm moving on but you're left behind
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
Here Leo hit the special button on his drumsticks causing the different drums each to have a different effect whether it be fireworks, a light show, and more.
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door sew yourself shut
Now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Don't be so sentimental, no
This love was accidental, so
Give it up, this was never meant to be more than a memory for you
I'm gonna break your little heart
Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
(When I break your little heart in two)
I'm gonna break your little heart
Show you to the door sew yourself shut
Now you're begging for more
'Cause there's nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two
Everyone was on their feet and cheering when the boys finished.
"LOST HEROES!" Someone shouted and others take up the chant. "LOST HEROES! LOST HEROES! LOST HEROES!"
"Thanks everybody!" Percy shouted. "We shall preform again whenever Jason and Frank decide they rather stay here at Camp Half-Blood!"
"Boo!"
"Bad Jason!"
"Do better Frank!"
"You're a Greek a heart!"
"Come on Fai!" Leo shouted.
"Shut up Leo," Frank responded.
"Thanks for pinning this all on us, Perce," Jason uttered with a slap to the back of Percy's head.
The five boys march off of the stage as the campers begin to disperse.
The girls greet them.
"Whoa. I didn't you guys could play," Hazel said.
"Neither did we," Frank shrugged.
"I did!" Leo put in.
"That was amazing!" Annabeth said pulling Percy into a hug before quickly letting go and fixing a glare on him. "You're not breaking up with me right?"
Percy turned to Leo. "I told you we should've done a love song."
Leo shrugged.
"You guys were great!" Will shouts joining the group. "Leo half my cabin wants you to fix up their instruments."
"Give all orders to Nyssa. She will happily deal with that," Leo responded.
"Well, I can't wait to get back to Camp Jupiter now," Reyna smiled.
"Why?" Frank asked confused.
Reyna smiled wider. "Cause, I need to start selling tickets. I made good money today."
"Wait. You were selling tickets? How much of the profit do we all get?" Nico asked.
Reyna ignored him. "Well I'm beat. I'm going to bed."
"Wait Reyna," Jason said. "You didn't answer the question."
Reyna shrugged and began to walk away. The five boys locked eyes before chasing after her.
"Reyna!"
