Percy POV

Percy and the others followed the six ponies.

He felt a little curious about what the ruler of the place looked like but also felt a little strange that they had the title of princess instead of queen. Speaking of another place, he wanted to go home, to stop Gaea and now, there was a possibility that Gaea followed them to this world.

During the walk on the path, Percy continued to look at the structures and felt awe that the ponies could build all that.

The group all stopped at several train tracks and Percy asked, "What now?" "The Friendship express!" said Pinkie Pie enthusiastically. "The what?" asked Percy. "It's a train, silly," she said. Percy gave a sigh.

Then, they heard several sounds and the train came along and it was very colorful like all the other structures he had seen in the place. Other than the fact it was very colorful, it seemed like any traditional train.

The train stopped and Percy and the others went on board. I wonder if Leo would be fascinated by it though it looks girly, wondered Percy.

When they went inside, a few other horses or ponies as they liked to be called walked out and they shot the seven demigods strange looks which he did not understand at first.

While thinking his thoughts, they sat down in the seats and the train moved and chugged at a speed.

Percy looked out the window as the train sped toward its destination and he used the time to marvel at the surroundings and environment of the place and what was it called, wait, Equestria.

He certainly didn't see anything like this place back home.

Jason POV

The train that they rode on sped toward its destination and he took a chance to catch the breeze and after all, he was able to control the air.

The train chugged to a stop and they all walked out and Jason, like the demigods were amazed by the design of the castle. "What is this called?" asked Percy. "Canterlot," replied Twilight Sparkle.

As the group continued to move toward the palace, Jason looked around and saw the palace guards and for some reason, their armor resembled Roman armor.

Jason and the others stood dumbstruck, staring at the massive spectacular design of Canterlot before the ponies dragged them along.

Jason still had his eyes glued in awe at the structure while Rainbow Dash tiredly pushed him along. "This looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale," he murmured.

Then, he finally snapped out of his trance and continued to walk while Rainbow Dash, who was a bit exhausted from trying to push him and Frank, (especially Frank) followed.

Jason and the others walked for a while until they reached a gate. When they were about to continue, some of the royal guards, seeing the demigods, blocked them. "Halt! What is your business with the princess?" he demanded. "Let me handle this," said Twilight Sparkle as she walked calmly toward the guard. "We are here to ask Celestia about the seven demigods and their origins," she said.

There was a pause and the guard let them in.

When they walked into the doors, Jason and the demigods once again admired the surroundings with awe. "The stained glass pictures look like medieval stained glass," commented Annabeth on the stained glass windows.

Then he turned his focus to the center of the room and in the center of the room was a throne and sitting on top majestically was a white unicorn but it had wings and a colorful flowing mane and wore a golden crown. Jason assumed that the winged unicorn was Princess Celestia.

She looked up at them and Twilight walked up to her. "Princess Celestia, we are here to ask you if you known anything that they are talking about," she said. "They are demigods," she said. Upon hearing that, Jason said, "How do you know?" "I can sense the godly energy inside of you," she replied. "Also, what has happened with Olympus?" she asked again. "You've heard of Olympus?" Jason asked again.

Percy stepped forward.

"We were sidetracked on our quest to stop Gaea and ended up here," he said. Upon hearing the name Gaea, she gasped. "She has returned," she said, shocked.

"This is getting weirder," said Rainbow Dash.

"What is all this about 'demigods' and 'Gaea',"asked Twilight Sparkle strangely.

"I shall explain it all, my faithful student," she said before beginning her story.

"It all started during the Titanomachy, after the gods had defeated their Titan parents and imprisoned them in Tartarus and Gaea, seeking revenge, sent several monsters at them but failed to overthrow them and me and my sister, Luna were participants in the Titanomachy and helped majorly. As reward for our efforts, the gods granted us the land of Equestria to rule over. But then, one of Gaea's offspring, Discord took over and had it under his thumb and we at first pleaded with the gods to help us but they were busy with the Gigantomachy and so, we took upon ourselves to overthrow and imprison Discord and afterwards, I thought our problems were over but Gaea was very resentful of us both for our role in the Titanomachy and the overthrow of Discord that she unleashed the antialicorn brothers, Aistelecon and Anules to overthrow us and they nearly succeeded but if it weren't for Starswirl, we would have been defeated. After we cast out the antialicorns, we got news that Gaea had fallen into a deep slumber. Now, I thought that we didn't have to worry about Gaea anymore, until now." she said.

Everyone was all surprised at what she said.

"You kept all those secrets from me?" said Twilight. "Yes, and now that Gaea has awoken once more, we have a huge threat to deal with,"said the princess. "Gaea also brought back her giants," added Leo.

"In that case, you may need an alicorn or god to accompany you on your journey," she said, "And I cannot accompany you for I have a kingdom to run," she said.

"Well then what ah we waiting for, let's go!" said Applejack.

"Not so fast," said Jason, "The giants are not that simple to beat," he said.

Right at that moment, the doors burst open and there stood a dark horse-like figure with a jagged horn, green hair and insect-like appearance and some other flying horses which looked insect-like.

"Queen Chrysalis," said Celestia. "So you've come back for revenge?" said Twilight.

"Yes and I brought an old enemy of yours," she said, snarling.

A group of those insect-like horses cleared to make way for another figure and it looked like a unicorn except that it had dragon wings and hind legs and had a fiery mane and tail.

"Long time no see, Celestia," said the flaming creature.

"Aitselecon," she said.

"So you are one of those antialicorn brothers she was talking about," said Jason to Aitselecon.

"Precisely," he said.

"I never expected I'd find the demigods Gaea was talking about with my enemies at the same time," gloated Queen Chrysalis.

"We'll stop you all," said Percy and Leo.

"Such vain words," said Aitselecon, "For Mother Gaea will rule over all, no matter the lands," and he blasted some fire at the group only for Percy to summon water from somewhere which came through a window and used it to repel Aitselecon's attack.

Then, the insectlike horses swooped in to attack the group but Jason and Percy made quick work of several with their swords while Leo blasted some with his fire and Frank morphed into various animals and fought them.

"You just changed," said Twilight, surprised when she saw Frank change.

"Long story," he said as he continued to fight the insectlike horses.

The insectlike horses then changed their forms and their looked like the ponies and the demigods, which confused Jason and the others. He was surrounded by many that looked like Percy and Piper and himself and he first struck against the ones that looked like himself first but he didn't harm the ones that looked like Percy and Piper for he was afraid he might harm the real ones.

But then, the impersonators attacked first, sparking a huge brawl and their was lots of dust and Jason couldn't see and punched or attacked randomly.

Jason was still confused over who to hit and who to not during the brawl.

Then, after a long fight, the fakers were beaten and the heroes stood there, with some bruises.

"It's over Aitselecon, with a unicorn and alicorn or element bearer or demigod around, you are done for," said Celestia to the antialicorn.

"You may win this time, but I'll be back," he declared and he and Queen Chrysalis and the insectlike horses all left.

"What were they?" asked Jason to Twilight Sparkle. "Changelings," she replied. "They can change their form and they once almost took over Canterlot," she said.

"I still think the giants are worse," said Percy.

"There is something I must ask you," said Celestia.

"What is it?" asked the demigods.

"How were you going to stop Gaea?"

"By closing the Doors of Death," said Annabeth. Celestia's eyes grew wide at that name.

"There is a passage to your home from Equestria somewhere in Tartarus but it will be a long journey," she said.

"Tartarus is back on Earth," said Jason. "She meant Tartarus in Equestria," corrected Twilight Sparkle.

When she said that, Jason saw Annabeth and Percy trembling.
