Camp Half Blood
Colette:''She waits while sitting at the nearest bench to the camp's entrance and listening to music though her earphones. She's wearing the casual combo of cream shorts, a fitted hotpink top, white converse and finishes it with a sidebag with her stuff across her right chest to left thigh.''

Max: Comes up with his bag am I late?

Colette: She shakes her head and takes off one earphone Nope. Mio, Tiel, and Rhian aren't here yet. She moves to the side offering him a seat

Tiel: ''He happily skips to the entrance to find Colette and Max there. He jumps up and down to catch their attention as he puts down his backpack. ''Heeeyaaa guys! Or gals, if you're that type. Just joking!

Mio: And I didn't die Fake smiles

Colette: slaps his arm and glares Don't you dare go flirting with my nanny!

Max: looks at Marie then at colette Am I included in this?

Colette: widen at Max, almost giving a facepalm Of course you are! Anyways, even if she's a wonderful nanny, she's also a picky woman or satyress.

Marie:Of course, madamoiselle. Shows them inside the airport to their designated terminal and escorts them to the ladder of the jet

Colette: before anyone else, she immediately runs into the jet and lies on a seat Finally!Space!

Tiel: ''As he enters the jet, his jaw dropped out of awe. ''Whoooaaa. Coool! ''He quickly reaches for a seat and sits on it. ''OMG, this is so off of the chain!

Marie: smiles at the door of the jet once she has entered The flight will take about an hour. Till then, please enjoy the facilities offered by our jet. It is customed into loveable style for everyone. If you need anything like gaming systems and snacks, please call my attention.

LA Airport
The plane lands

Marie: We have arrive! she wakes Colette up Wake up, mistress.

Colette:Aww... sighs... guess a quest is a quest gets up and streches Thanks Marie.

The door of the jet opens and you can see the airport

Max: was wearing his glasses as he examines the map hmmmmm

Marie: Oh right, Stephen is in the parking lott waiting for you. Good luck on your quest! she smiles 

Colette:Great! She waves goodbye and steps down the stairs to turn to Max Anything interesting?

Tiel: Uhh... who's Stephen?

Mio: What he said.

Colette: Our chaperon thats wearing a tux and is in the parking lot waiting for us to get it moving. You don't think my dad would just let anyone drive me.

Mio: Rolls her eyes and keeps silent 

As they walk outside to the parking lot, 2 empousa's who were following them from the airport suddenly goes in front of them and begins to attack them

Colette: her sword appears We've got unwanted company

Max: looks up from the map hmm they didnt put this on the map  folds the map and keeps it in his pocket before taking out his weapon

Tiel: ''He assumes a defensive stance. ''We don't need to hook up with these babies and waste our pumping action! Here! He tries to make one of the empousa face the other direction and rush there instead to buy them some time.

Colette: swiftly charges at one with her sword while Tiel was taking care of the other one

Mio: Stands and takes her katana out.

Tiel: ''He charges to the confused empousa and stabs it continuously with his sword, turning it into dust. ''Awww yeaaaah!

Colette: Throws 3 shurikens at it, with two hitting it at the same time and disintegrating it to dust

Tiel: C'mon! We'd better run for it! ''He attacks another empousa to his left but he was clawed in his arm, making 3 long cuts. He groans in pain.''

Colette: ''while the empousai was busy, she takes opportunity to slash it and it goes poof! She approaches Tiel ''You ok?We can get you a bandage at the car

Tiel: ''He gets up as he looks on the 3 long cuts with blood dripping on the ground. ''Y-yeah. T-that would be g-great. Ow! He uses his right hand to apply pressure on the wounds.

'Colette: is disturbed by the dripping blood and walks towards a limousine''

The limousine drives towards them as the driver caught a glance of Colette

Colette:'' She gets in and finds a first aid kit and turns to Tiel

Tiel: Y-you'd better be careful... I-it hurts like hell. He smiles but his face is clearly full of pain.

Colette: Don't worry about the pain! I'm good at this. she winks as she brings Tiel in a state of ecstasy while she tends to his wounds and bandages it, that way, it wont hurt him as much

Tiel: ''Even though the ecstasy wasn't that much, he began laughing. ''

Colette: ''Okaayy~Anyways, we're almost there

Griffith Park
they finally arrive at griffith park and gets out of the car

Colette: she looks around Let's go hunt some manticore down!

Tiel: ''The ecstasy has subsided, and his wounds don't feel very painful now. ''Leeeet's gooo!!! He rushes for the nearby trees.

A few harpies start to attack them, six harpies to be exact

Colette: rolls eyes and gets her weapon out Not again...

Tiel: That's certainly not a manticore. ''He pulls out both his swords. ''Well, charge!

Colette: Manages to hit one harpy with two shurikens and slash one and turn both into dust 

Max: with his weapon he manages to kill one harpy seriously why do they love us soo much....

Tiel: ''He uses his swords to hack and slash at one of the harpies, turning it to dust. But he overdone the actions and caused his wounds to become painful again. ''Agh! Crap!

Colette: After the second to the last harpy was killed, she tosses Tiel some ambosia from her bag Take it

Tiel: Thanks! ''He eats a small amount, which tasted like Snickers. His wounds' pain started to go away. ''Ooooh yeaaah! Take this, you freak of nature! He continues to hack and slash at another harpy.

Colette: Sees some people giving maps and she approaches them and comes back with one Alright, if you were a manticore, where would you hide?

Tiel: The manticore is a weird-looking lion, right? Or is it just me?

Colette: It's suppose to be... her eyes look around the map

Max: goes to colette may I look at the map and maybe take out most of the probability of where it can and cannot be?

Tiel: Oh! Oh! I'll look around if the manticore is hiding under some trick or fraud-ish thingamabob. I'm an expert on that.

Colette: passes the map to Max You SHOULD be looking for it goes to get two more maps and comes back, handing Tiel one and handing Max a marker Let's start x-ing

Max: takes the marker and takes out a piece of paper he started to do a few equations on probability hmm

Colette: she crosses some as well

Max: he continued to do his equation and crossing the map when he realizes something wait a sec...

Colette: Smart dude, what did you find?

Tiel: ''He barely crosses out anything. ''I don't like the sound of what you said, nerdy.

Max: ignores tiels comment but continues to study the map we have literally cross most of the places here....but...

Colette: realizes something There! points to the spot they havent crossed out Let's go team!

Max: keeps his glasses ok

Mio: Feels like a little kid and she follows them and rolls her eyes 

They finally see a manticore sadly playing with a rose

Colette: her eyes widen and she points to it and whispers That must be it!

Max: looks at the manticore and whispers back I dont think tehre's any more manticore playing with a rose at this park...realizes something and looks up Please dad dont...

Tiel: Um, should we play with it and get that freakin' rose?

Colette: We don't have a stategy to this? looks the the manticore's sad face I don't actually feel good about doing this...

Max: raises his hand I have a suggestion its either we give the manticore a hobby, a new girlfriend or maybe a new rose?

Colette: According to mother, this guy really liked her. He bugged her to much to turn into that she gestures to the whole manticore body I guess its fine to kill it...since it has a soul trapped in it she looks guiltily

Tiel: ''He suddenly grins at Max's idea. ''Oh! Oh! New rose, you say? I can make a fake copy of it so that we can keep him at bay while we have the real one.

Colette: she smiles to know she doesnt have to kill it MAGNIFIC! Leggo Tiel! You consentrate on the copy and we     snatch the winning rose!

Tiel: ''He grins. ''Sureeee, be my valuable guestseses. Just make sure you don't block my view too much or make things fly around. It'll bug my mind from making a copy. Got it? He makes a thumbs up the questioning way.

Max: looks at the two cant I help him?

Colette: has the classy bingo look Aeolus kid, or Max, whatev. Can you actually grab the rose from a distance using solidified air?That way excape would be easier

Max: looks a bit scared seriously?

Colette: Why the face? You won't go near him anyways. turns to Tiel Will ecstacy help you and your illusion?

Tiel: Ohoho, it ain't an illusion. Its a copy, only fake. And ecstasy, you say? I could use some.

Colette: Let's begin then. brings the manticore into a state of ecstacy to distract him more
