Leo POV
-----After everyone returned and are in their thrones-----
"Alright, Percy, you said you got news for us?" Hazel said. Percy said, "Yeah, so Chaos came by and said, and I quote, 'the gods are going to summon you all tomorrow at noon to the throne room. You will be chained by celestial bronze cause they don't trust you, which will block your powers. So dress like you were when you landed down here. Also, pretend to be broken and depressed.' That was his message." 
"OK, so head to your rooms for about an hour, and then we change and head out into the pit, suppressing our auras and using only our demigod strength and powers to make us tired and look the part, too. Sound good?" Annabeth suggested. We all agreed and Left for our rooms, and when we got there, Thalia and I, well, you know. 
-----After 1 hour-----
We all met up at the entrance in the clothes we arrived in the pit with, and I said, "This is gonna suck," and everyone grumbled in agreement. We set off to wander the pit; as we were in the deepest part, we started making our way up, fighting monsters we encountered. I had made replicas of everyone's original weapons, so that's what we were using to fight.
As we continued, we came across the camp of our army. One of the Dracaena guards tried to charge us till Percy released his entire aura, disintegrating the Dracaena. "Oops, didn't mean to disintegrate her," he said as Annabeth playfully slapped him on the bicep. Upon feeling his aura, the titans and giants walked to the gate and bowed before us. 
"My lords and ladies," Kronos said, "What brings you here?" Hazel(who was the most diplomatic) answered, "We are trying to fight things to make us look beat up because the gods are going to summon us in a few hours; how would all of you like to try against your leaders who will be holding back to the skill of demigods?"
Kronos smiled, "Many of us would love that opportunity. Come this way to the training area." He led us to the training area (which was just a massive stadium), and we entered. 
As we drew our replica weapons, Porphyrion's voice boomed around the arena, "Monsters, Titans, and Giants! Today, we have a rare opportunity!! The Primordials' successors, who are ten former demigods known as Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Leo Valdez, Piper McLean Jason Grace, Reyna Ramirez-Arellano, Nico di Angelo, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang, are here! They are our current commanders because the gods banished them and seek revenge! They are here because the gods will summon them in a bit and need to look beat up, so we all have free rein to fight them as hard as possible! You need not fear death as the enchantment on this arena teleports you back to the stands if you are about to die."
All the monsters cheered upon hearing our names and the fact they could try to kill us risk-free. Suddenly, Porphyrion clapped his hand, and hellhounds, hydras, Dracaena, centaurs, and cyclopes surrounded us. Several hydras charged Percy and Annabeth as Percy grumbled, "I hate hydras," and engaged them.
About a dozen hellhounds charged Nico and Reyna, and I heard Nico say, "Mannn hellhounds are so cuteeee" as they engaged in a fight. Multiple Dracaena charged Piper and Jason, and Piper said, "I can't stand Dracaena," as they engaged sword on fangs. Some centaurs charged Frank and Hazel, and Hazel muttered, "Killing centaurs makes me think of watching them kill Arion."
Then the cyclopes charged Thalia and me, and I said, "Of course, I get the fireproof enemy," as we charged them. Thalia and I started fighting them, me twirling my battle hammer and Thalia spinning her spear. Another hit me with her club as I sent one of the cyclopes back to the stands. I turned to see a lady cyclops and engaged her in a fight.
As we fought, I said, "Hello, Leo. Do you remember me? I am Ma Gasket." I disarmed her of her club as she said that. "Oh yeah, I remember you. How are you doing, Mrs Gasket? How are your sons?" I asked her this as I smashed her left knee, bringing her down. "We are good," she said as I brought my hammer down on her head, and she teleported into the stands. 
Thalia finished off the last cyclopes, and we looked around and saw the only monster remaining was a hydra with over 20 heads, and Percy was cursing at himself for chopping off another head.
 I shouted, "Percy, chop its head off again," and he did it without even asking as I shot fire at the stumps, and we kept going until the hydra was down to one head. Hazel waved her hand, and the hydra reappeared in stands.
 As I looked around, I saw that Percy and Annabeth's shirts were smoldering, Nico and Reyna had claw marks on their arms and legs, Piper and Jason had cuts and gashes on their arms, Frank and Hazel had hoof print bruises all over them, and Thalia and I had torn clothes due to the clubs.
Thalia asked Annabeth, "How much time do we have left before we are summoned?" She said, "10 minutes or so; we should get out of here in case they can see where we are when they summon us." 

I looked at Porphyrion and said, "Well, that was fun, but we have to go now." He nodded and said, "Thank you for the demonstration, my lords and ladies. Have fun on Olympus."
 Hazel said, "Once we get out of their custody, we will raise you from the pit to slaughter the campers; the hunters and the amazons are dead." Porphyrion nodded and said, "Thank you, we will see you there."
We walked out, and I followed Hazel and asked, "Where are we going?" She looked at me and said, "We are headed to the Phlegethon in case they can see where we are." Nico nodded, "It would make sense if we were by the Phlegethon as demigods because we would need to be nearby to survive." 
"Hey Hazel, give us a mist disguise to make us look more exhausted and broken; the gods would expect it, so the mist should work pretty efficiently," Piper said. Hazel snapped her fingers, and we all suddenly looked like we were ready to drop, and our eyes looked fractured. "How long?" Frank asked. "It is currently 11:59 and approximately 30 seconds," I said. 
They all looked at me, confused. "What? primordial of the day, remember?" Thalia kissed me and said, "Yes, we were just impressed you were so precise." I pouted slightly as Reyna said, "Be prepared to see your parents, and please remember to keep up the act. We don't want to take the full force of the Olympian council's weapons while our powers are blocked." 
I said, "5 seconds, get ready," as I felt a strange tingling feeling, and suddenly I was in the center of the Olympian throne room chained to the floor.
