Ladan: Hey!

Eric: What the heck? *mutters* I was sleeping

Ladan: Well, I needed to tell the readers something.

Eric: Can't you do this without me?

Ladan: Nope!

Eric: Wwwwhhhhhyyyyyy?????

Ladan: Because.

Eric: Fine, tell us what you need to tell us.

Ladan: How should I say this without spoilers...

Eric: Then don't say it if you have spoilers.

Ladan: B-but-fine. I'll explain it later.

Eric: Okay...We done now?

Ladan: Yes.

Mari's POV

I was woken up early this morning. The sun hasn't even come up yet.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey." Ladan sung while she woke me up. "You can relax after we pack."

"I'm up" I groaned and slowly sat up.

"Good, now pick the clothes you don't mind losing and or getting destroyed." She said. "Put them in this bag while I go talk to Chiron on our method of transportation for the quest."

She left and I started to search my wardrobe for clothes. I grabbed 3 outfits plus the ones I had on. Since the bag could hold infinite things, I put my sketch book and pencils. Who knows? I might be able to design a new top or something on the quest. Plus, the infinite bag obviously had room for it.

I was done so I lay back down on my bed. The second my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.

A while later, I was awoken by Tikki who told me it was breakfast time and she got into my bag and we left for food.

At breakfast, it was the 7 of us along with Nico, Will, and Llea and Aquaa in their human forms around one table eating pancakes for breakfast.

"Why are you eating your pancakes like that? It looks kinda weird" Alya said to Kaden and Ladan.

I thought their breakfast was weird as well. They both were eating plain pancakes with scoops of vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup on top. They were scarfing them down fast but kept getting more. I have to admit, it was an interesting sight.

"It's quite delicious" Ladan said and went back to eating. "We need our energy up anyways for the quest."

"But why are you eating that?" Nino asked. "It doesn't look so appetizing"

"It's our childhood breakfast. We always slept over at our relative's place on the weekend as kids and this was always our breakfast" Kaden sighed. "It's better if you hand-make the pancakes though."

"Agreed brother" Ladan added, finishing the last of her pancakes. "Is everyone ready for an adventure?"

Eric looked at her in annoyance. "An adventure that could possibly end with us dying to anything? Of course we're ready" Eric said in a sarcastic manner.

Kaden looked towards Eric. "An adventure that could possibly end with us dying to save the rest of the world? Count me in!"

"There are two types of dudes in this world. Here's the proof" Nino joked.

"Couldn't have said it better" Alya agreed.

"Anyways, what's our transportation?" Kaden asked.

"U-uh...f-funny story" Ladan awkwardly laughed. "We have to travel a bit to get our boat."

"Wait, we have to go unguarded to get to our boat where we will mostly encounter monsters?" Eric asked, spitting out his drink. Ladan simply nodded.

"It's okay, I know the way." Ladan said.

"How big will the boat be?" I asked.

"Oh, just big enough to get us across the Atlantic. As long as the kwamis don't turn human" Ladan said which kinda scared me. How big was it exactly?

"Lets go, the faster we get to the boat, the better" Llea said and we all got up. We all went to get the last of our things ready while Ladan and Eric said they had to do something. We met half an hour later at the top of the hill at the entrance to camp.

3rd person POV

"Okay Kaden, you have the Drachmas?" Eric asked. Kaden nodded and brought out a few gold coins.

"How many do we need?" Kaden replied.

"Three's all" Ladan assumed from the size of the group.

Kaden nodded and threw the golden Greek coins to the ground and shouted the command words "Stêthi, Ô hárma diabolês!" ("Stop. Chariot of Damnation!" if you forgot what it meant) A long, 4 row car that seemed to be made of smoke came rushing to a sudden stop.

"I call second row behind the Gray Sisters!" Ladan exclaimed. Everyone argued over the seats until Marinette came to an agreement. Ladan sat in the second row with Kaden and Eric, Mari and Alya sat in the 3rd row and Adrien and Nino sat in the back. Everyone was talking to their seat partner except Ladan, who was chatting away with the Gray Sisters.

"Where to?" Tempest asked.

"The beach near the dock as far south as you can go" Ladan said. "Wasp, you have the eye this time right?" The one at the wheel turned and nodded to show she had the eye. She turned back and hit the gas, driving at speeds that made Kaden sick. The others were quite fine. An effect of being miraculous wielders was being immune to most travel-sicknesses. Eric tried to comfort Kaden and helped him barf into an emergency barf bag. When they got to their stop, they stepped out and everyone's knees buckled and they collapsed on the sand.

Ladan's POV

Once we got our legs to comply with us again, I saw the dock with our...boat.

"Wow, it's small" Nino commented.

"How will that fit the 7 of us?" Kaden asked.

"Oh please, it can fit us just fine." I said. I honestly didn't believe that we could fit, but I have to stay strong and set an example. "Anyways, it's the only boat I could get on short notice."

We all started to get in the boat when Eric whispered into my ear. "Think we'll run into monsters?"

"Like, duh. There's 7 demigods stuck on a tiny boat for 3-5 days. Of course I think there'll be monsters!" I whisper-yelled back.

Once we were all on, Alya and Mari were in the front with Adrien and Nino on either side of them. Eric sat in the middle next to the kwamis and Kaden and I sat in the back so we could easily steer.

"So how fast will this thing go?" Mari asked.

"Depends on our strength." I said then turned to my twin. "Which reminds me, how will we split the work?"

"How about...6 hour shifts? I can take first shift if you want" Kaden said and I nodded happily.

"Seems fair, just try to stay away from the Bermuda-" I say as he interrupted.

"I know" He put his hand in the water and we gradually started moving, getting faster by the second.

I decided I would spend my next 6 hours of relaxation by enjoying the sun and sound of water crashing against the boat as I drifted to sleep.

Mari's POV

The boat was going fast and jostled us around a bit at first. I was holding onto Alya so we both wouldn't get tossed overboard. Nino seemed to be basking in the sun. He had his arms relaxed in a position where his arms were beind his neck and his feet were outstreached as best as they could.

As for Adrien...lets just say that the kitty was a bit uncomfortable with the water. He was in the middle of the boat to avoid it. But, as if in slow motion, I saw a few drops of water splash on Adrien's arm. He jumped up and hissed like a cat and landed on my lap.

"Kitty, get off." I groaned. "You're heavy."

"Oops, sorry purrincess" He blushed in embarasement as he got off and sat back down next to me.

"It's okay. It was kind of funny to see you get scared from a few drops of water." I laughed and kissed his cheek.

"Hey, is Ladan sleeping?" Alya asked, peering over to the back of the boat where Ladan was visibly asleep on the ground.

"How can anyone sleep when we're moving at speeds this fast?" Nino asked. Like he's one to talk when he's sun tanning.

"No clue" Adrien replied.

Time Skip

3rd Person POV

Ladan just woke up. She checked her phone and the time told her it was about 3:30 New York time and 4:30 where they were. She had about 1 hour left till her turn to steer. She got up from the floorboards and sat next to Eric since the kwamis took her seat next to her brother.

Everyone's stomachs were grumbling.

"Finally you're up. Get the rest of us some food" Eric said.

"What? Why me?" Ladan responded.

"Because someone forgot to pack food other than ambrosia and nectar and the kwami's food. Now go get us fish or something." Kaden yelled to her.

"Okay, but how will we eat it?" Ladan pondered.

"Haven't you ever heard of this thing called sashimi?" Eric asked. "It's raw fish"

"Fine, but just for that I'll find you something poisionous" Ladan said as she got up and stretched before diving into the water. They were in the middle of the empty ocean so she would have to go deep for food. She dove far down and spotted some fish.

"Hi, can you guys do me a favor?" She asked the school of fish.

"Who're you?" An annoyed one stopped to ask as the other fish swam around her.

"I'm Ladan, child of Poseidon. Me and my friends kind of need to eat." She stated.

"Sure, we would love to have such nice demigods eat us" a kind fish said.

"Can you please kill us quickly though?" The first one asked.

"Sure." Ladan summoned her weapon, changing it's tip to a knife shape for a quick slicing of the fish's heads. She closed her eyes, trying to make it as quick and painless as possible. A bunch of the other fish also came forth, willing to be killed for Poseidon's spawn. All the fish thought that since Poseidon was such a good lord of the sea, they could sacrifice themselves for him and his kids.

When she had enough, she gave a silent prayer to her dad for being such a good king of the sea and treating his subjects nicely, then she put away her weapon. She guided the now headless fish up to the surface with her powers and saw the boat a distance away. She quickly summoned the water to pick her up and put her on the boat Moana-style while not getting wet. The fish landed perfectly in her arms.

"Kaden, can you set the fish up properly? I can take the last of your shift." Ladan stated.

"Sure, I can fix something up" Kaden replied. "I obviously can't let you near the food. You can't cook a proper meal for the life of you. Only desserts"

"I know that, don't need to say it" Ladan groaned and took over driving the boat as Kaden prepared the fish.

Time Skip

Everyone was stuffed from all that fish. They were so full, some of them had fallen asleep. Ladan was awake, but just barely was while she kept the boat moving smoothly. Kaden and Eric were also awake.  Eric was staring over the side of the boat and Kaden was talking to the kwamis.

Nino was sleeping on Alya's shoulder and she was asleep as well. Marinette had fallen asleep on Adrien's lap. Adrien was awake and blushing because of where her head lay as she faced him. He was casually running his hand through her soft, blue hair.

Eric was looking over the side, watching a few fish swim alongside the boat. It was peaceful for once in his demigod life.

"Hey" Kaden said, moving next to Eric as he looked over into the water with him. "What are you looking at?"

"The fish that are stupid to be near us" Eric replied.

"Oh. You know that they can understand you right?" Kaden said as the fish got angry and swam away. Kaden just laughed at Eric's stunned expression.

"Why do fish hate me?" Eric whined as they continued staring into the deep blue of the ocean together.

"They don't really hate you" Kaden sighed.

"Really?" Eric asked.

"Yeah, they just dislike you very much." Kaden laughed which made Eric laugh back. They were laughing so hard, they didn't notice the dark, shadowy form underwater grow bigger and bigger until the gigantic creature sprang up from the ocean and used one of its tentacles to wrap around Kaden and pull him under. The splash of water woke everyone right up.

"Mother of Zeus! What the Hades was that?" Ladan screeched, stopping the boat so fast everyone lurched foreward and fell to the floorboards. "Did anyone get a good look at it?"

"I think it was a Kraken or something" Adrien guessed. "Whatever it was, it was huge"

"A KRAKEN?!" Ladan shouted. "Why are Norse monsters coming after us?"

"Why the hell would we know?" Eric shouted back.

"Guys, don't fight!" Tikki yells, which grabbed everyone's attention. "We shouldn't fight about this when we have to save Kaden."

"You're right" Mari said. "So how are we going to get Kaden back?"

Ladan leaned over the side of the boat and slipped her hand in and out quickly. "That's really deep." She sighed.

"What's the plan?" Aquaa asked.

"I'd take all of you down to fight if I could." Ladan paused, looking off to the horizon. "But my power is already quite drained from pushing the boat. If i take more than 2, I could pass out and we'd all die."

"So the question is, who's going?" Eric said, ignoring the possible life-threatening problems that could occur.

"I think it would be a bad idea if i went" Mari said. Everyone looked at her with wondering eyes. "I mean, I don't think my yo-yo would do much damage underwater. Eric would probably have the same problem with his whip."

"I think i have a similar problem with my flute because I need air to play it." Alya said.

"Ok, I guess I'll take Nino and Adrien. But I have an idea so have your weapons summoned." Ladan said as she brought forth her trident and dove in.

The guys dove in after her as she created air bubbles for them to breathe. She also made it so they wouldn't be crushed by the pressure.

"This is sick dudes" Nino said.

"Woah. So this is what it must feel like to be a fish" Adrien gasped.

"Not really" Ladan sighed at their idiocy and dove down quickly. The boys quickly took notice and silently followed her actions and dove into the depths of the Atlantic where they possibly faced a harsh death by the Kraken. They didn't even know of any plan that could be helpful. They only knew how to combat opponents on dry land. Could Ladan even keep her powers up until they rescue Kaden and not get crushed by the ocean's pressure or drown?
