Myths Collide pt 1

The man breathed heavily as he hid from the dragon coming around the corner. He gripped his sword in his hand and waited for the right moment. The dragon looked his direction for a moment, but then kept going. The dragon's urine dripped on the ground in front of him. The man moved away from it. Not because it smelled bad (Although it did), but because it was acidic. Right as the dragon was about to move into place, the man heard the ringing of sword against scales. The dragon screamed a horrific roar as its head rolled in front of the man. The man dropped his sword and covered his ears.

A giant man with a large broadsword came out from behind the pillar next to the man. The giant man looked at the man.
"I'm Hercules" the giant muscular man said
"Odysseus," the man replied
"I've heard of you," Hercules said, "You're a legend."
"No different with you," Odysseus replied stoutly, "News of you even made it to the emperor."
"Really? That's nice to know."
"Aye. I would give much to be in your shoes right now."
Hercules chuckled.
"Let us go get the next member."
"The next member?"
"Aye."
"What are you talking about 'the next member'. It'll take days... no weeks to get out of here alone."
"Not with my father around," Hercules said
"Father!" he yelled, "I summon thy power to transport us!"
Somehow, storm clouds gathered above their heads and struck Hercules.
"NO!" Odysseus screamed through the commotion of the storm
That's when the lightning struck him.
It felt like a huge jolt of power coursed through his body. He was stretched and deformed without pain. He felt the ability to wield this power, but he also felt that the move would be foolish. He still enjoyed it while he could. He threw lightning at a bird above him. The bird screeched briefly, and fell to the ground. Odysseus chuckled.. He felt like screaming "FOR OLYMPUS!"

He decided not to, as the last person who had yelled that had angered Hades. And Hades was not someone you wanted to anger. Odysseus felt himself being lifted into the air. He released lightning, realizing his mistake. He had just gained the ability to control lightning. Hopefully, Zeus had done this on purpose. He could become very angry if someone possessed his same ability. He finally was brought down into a field of grass with a large house in the middle of it. The house was much like Odysseus' palace. He was startled as he looked to his side to see Hercules standing next to him.

Hercules put his hand over Odysseus' mouth before he could yelp.
"This is the Amazon's home. I have brought loose a unicorn to cause chaos in there," he said
"What?" Odysseus replied, "Are you crazy? Why would you want to cause chaos with the..."
Suddenly, a large, white horse, jumped from one of the windows in the tall building. It had a large horn on its head.
"That's the unicorn you released?" Odysseus screamed over the neighing
"Aye," Hercules replied, "A beauty, is it not?"
"How in the blazes did you manage to let it escape without being noticed?"
Hercules smiled and winked.
"I have some tricks up my sleeve."
Odysseus rolled his eyes and focused on the Amazons.
"Are we looking for someone in particular?"
"Aye."
"How will we know which one's her?"
"Oh, you will know, cousin, you will know."
Hercules was right. Suddenly, a beautiful figure jumped from the window that the unicorn had broken. She fended off the unicorn, but even she couldn't manage to re-capture it by herself.
"Is that who we're looking for?" Odysseus whispered
"Aye."
The Amazon that Odysseus confirmed as Hippolyta, fought with grace. She nimbly dodged the unicorn's every move.
"Time for us to move in," Hercules said
"Agreed," Odysseus replied
They quietly stalked the fighters until they got into a good position to tackle the unicorn. Hercules looked to Odysseus and mouthed their countdown. When he got to "one", they tackled the unicorn from the side. Despite it's large size, Odysseus' and Hercules' strength combined made it easy. They held it down until the Amazon's were able to bind it with strong cords with spells on them. It took a while for Hippolyta to actually notice the men that were holding down the giant unicorn.

She looked them over for a while.
"Come with me," she said, "We need to talk."

The Creation of the Avengers Ultimatum pt 1

Bruce sat on his porch, thinking. They had recently gone against all of his enemies, making it impossible for the Avengers to defeat them. Stark had come up with another one of his ideas. He called it The Avengers Ultimatum. The AU was supposed to be a mixture of all the Avengers put together. Stark and Bruce had both recently put the Symbiote carnage back together, so Stark thought he could create something like a Frankenstein's monster. Stark walked up to Bruce reporting that he had failed to create the AU. Bruce thought again. 
"Could Loki do it with magic?" he asked Stark
"Well why don't we go see?" Stark replied
The 2 genius' went to the secret society that no one knew the name of, to fetch Loki. When they got in there, the guards patted them down, and let them in. When they got to the containment center, they searched for Loki. 

It was hard making your way through a maze like this. On the way, they passed Carnage, and the Abomination. Bruce Shuddered when he passed the Abomination. The Abomination was the only one who hadn't risen up against them. Finally they made it to Loki's holding cell. Loki was standing, obviously prepared for their coming. 
"Loki," Bruce said with trouble, "We need you to make a weapon."
Stark explained about the AU.
"I don't know," Loki said, "I kind of need out." 
"We'll let you out for the amount of time it takes you to make it."
"Done."

Loki spent weeks trying to make the AU. Eventually, they put him back in his holding cell. Thor had come up with another idea. The next morning, Thor brought them all through the rainbow gate to Asgard. They met Odin at his glorious throne. Bruce bowed, and Stark followed his example. 
"Father," Thor said, "The earth is in need of a weapon."
After Thor explained everything, Odin agreed. Bruce watched as a glorious figure, rose before him. First, he saw the other guy's face, then Thor's helmet, then Thor's Hammer, then the Captain's shield, then the captain's suit, then Stark's top, then Stark's eyes. 

The creature stood before them majestically. It jumped and landed on the rainbow bridge, activating it. The AU made it's way to earth.
