The Legends Collide (Part 9)

   Achilles slashed another man to death, before going onto another. He suddenly saw a small group of men standing amidst the Trojans.
   Stupid Trojan nobility. He thought as he charged them.
   Right as he was swinging his sword down at the strongest looking man, it flew out of his hands.
   "Come, Achilles, time to waste we have not." Said a little green man Achilles didn't notice before.
   "Who are you?" Asked Achilles, right before they transported.
   Achilles looked around him in astonishment. What were those things providing light, and how were they providing light?
   The small green man started walking down a hallway.
   "Come!" He said.
   Achilles and the small group of men followed, until they came into a grand room filled with hovering disks each big enough to fit a small group of people.
   "You are being brought before the senate to be tested." mumbled the small green man to the others. "On your best behavior you must be."
   He finally took notice of Achilles and swept his gaze up and down him.
   "I suppose you still don't know why you are here do you?" He asked.
   Achilles shook his head.
   "I am Yoda, you will soon know the rest."
   Yoda closed his eyes. Suddenly Achilles knew the whole story and why he was there.
   "How did you do that?" He asked.
   "The force is strong with me." Yoda answered.
   "Hey, you still owe us an explanation about that force thingy you do." Said Perseus--Yoda had also made Achilles know all the people in the crew's names.
   Yoda sighed. "The force, is a power that is only possessed by the Jedi and the Sith."
   Perseus frowned. "Now you just made me even more confused."
   Yoda rolled his eyes, then said, "I will tell you later."
   Perseus grumbled something about always later, and he'll show him "Later".
   "Well," said Achilles, trying to start off good with the other guys, "My name's Achilles and I am a great warrior of my time. Who are you guys? I mean, other than your names."
   Mau'i started first. "I am a god and I fished up the islands of Hawa'ii."
   Achilles whistled.
   Perseus was next. "I'm Perseus and I killed Medusa, which you guys probably don't even know who that is."
   "Wait, you mean, The Perseus?" Achilles asked, "The Perseus who killed all the gorgons and saved the princess from the sea monster?"
   Perseus looked astonished. "Yeah, that's me." He said, "Except Mau'i here killed the last and most ruthless sister of Medusa."
   Mau'i grunted in response.
   Achilles couldn't believe he was in the presence of the legendary Perseus. He wanted to say something cool, but he was afraid it would sound dumb. He pulled his gaze from Perseus onto Arthur.
   "Well," Achilles said critically, looking Arthur up and down, "What can you do?"
   Arthur returned his gaze calmly, not looking fazed in the least. "I am favored by Merlin, the great wizard and I am a king."
   Achilles nodded, then turned to Thor.
   "So, Thor." He said, "What can you--oh,"
   Thor was still slung over Mau'i's shoulder, out cold.
   "Here we go." Said Yoda, as their disk started to float up toward the center of the room, toward the judges.
    Achilles stood up straight and tall. Already eager to pass inspection.
