Myths Collide pt 2 A Great Evil Arises

Hippolyta led the men to her office. She would have killed them already had they not helped re-capture the unicorn.She frowned as she noticed their build. They were both obviously very strong men. She recognized one as the great Hercules. She ordered them to sit in one of the chairs in the office. One of the men accepted, but Hercules did not. She asked him kindly and he obeyed. She knew Hercules as an extremely strong man, and the son of Zeus. He was a demigod, and everyone knew it. She sat herself, and despite knowing one of them, said:

"State your names."
"I'm Hercules," Hercules stated
"Odysseus," the other man said
"Well, men. I must thank you kindly for capturing that unicorn for us. It took us nearly 50 years to capture it the first time. You men just captured it within minutes. I must ask what you would like in return."

Hercules smiled as if he had expected this to happen.
"We only ask that you join us to stop the destruction of people everywhere."
Hippolyta blinked.
"Excuse me?"
"Help us destroy a great evil."
Odysseus seemed stunned as well. Hippolyta calmed down.
"I humbly accept," she responded
"Good," Hercules said, "Now let us retrieve the next member."
"Are you saying that we're leaving right now?"
"Aye."
"Why don't you stay and at least get a good night's rest."
"Ah, I would. Except the last person that did that was never seen again."
"What? How did you know that?"
"Zeus knows all," he replied sarcastically
Hippolyta watched as lightning struck both Hercules and Odysseus at the same time. She tried to dive when it came for her, but it was too fast.

She got hit.

Poseidon sighed as he flipped the channel on his waterproof TV. He had been waiting for Hercules to come back for hours. 

What's on? he thought

He flipped through an Opera show, a musical, High School Musical, and Shrek the Musical.

Man is it music day or something? he thought, annoyed at how there were no good channels on. Then he heard rumbling.

Now that's sounds like a good show, he thought, sitting up

When he saw the TV, it didn't look like what he was hearing. He saw a flash of lightning at the surface.

"Ah Zeus! You're ruining my TV time!" he yelled over the commotion

Zeus ignored his comment, and made lightning strike the water. 

"OW!" screamed Poseidon, averting his eyes from the light

He slowly looked that way again, and saw a bright figure within the midst of the strike. Two more strikes sounded and Poseidon looked away again. Once it got a bit darker, he could make out two men, and one woman. As the light faded, he saw Hercules' face. He cursed Zeus for sending them there at such a horrible time. 

A huge blast of thunder sounded, signifying that Zeus was angry. Poseidon stuck his tongue out. He put it back in once it was obvious that Hercules and the others could see him. He found that one of the others was Odysseus, and the other was the Amazon queen, Hippolyta. Once Odysseus saw Poseidon, his eyes widened and he bowed. Poseidon was surprised. He liked this guy already.

"Wow," he said, "Nobody had done that for me in a long time. In fact, the last person who did it was Hippolyta. And that was just about 35 years ago. I helped her capture a unicorn in return."

Odysseus, looking embarrassed, got back up. Poseidon laughed.

"It's fine, boy. I like it. You couldn't tell when I told you what I did for Hippolyta?"

Odysseus looked up a bit more.

"Now," Poseidon said, "When do we get started?"

These have been the records of Hippolyta, the Amazon Queen, and Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea.

The Legends Collide (Part 18)

   "So what do we do now?" Asked Perseus.
   "We wait." Said Thor, kicking back in one of the chairs.
   Perseus shrugged and sat down. About a minute later, a small rectangle thing popped out of the ceiling. Perseus sat up, interested. Suddenly, it started to produce light and images. Perseus jumped about a foot in the air and tried to get as far away from it as possible. It then started to produce sound. Music such as Perseus had never heard before.
   "It is a TV, Perseus." Said Thor.
   Perseus settled down and started watching. He soon became sucked into the images on the screen. It felt like his eyes were glued to it. He tried to pull them away, but then, someone on the screen did something funny and Perseus laughed.
   He finally tore his eyes away and soon realized that something was wrong.
   "Where's Mau'i?" Asked Perseus.
   "Zzz." Was the reply.
   Perseus got up, panicked. He started looking around the small room, but couldn't find Mau'i anywhere.
   "Thor!" Perseus yelled in Thor's ear.
   Thor's reply was to brush him away like a fly. Perseus landed on the floor. He tried to take Thor's hammer. The thing wouldn't budge. Perseus decided to take desperate measures to find Mau'i.
   Just then, the door opened. Mau'i walked in with a tray heaped with food. He was in the process of stuffing a little golden rod in his mouth, when he saw Perseus staring at him.
   "Did you want a french fry?" He asked.
   Perseus just stared. Mau'i started to look uncomfortable.
   "I was hungry...." He mumbled.
   Perseus snapped out of his daze.
   "Give me that." He said, snatching the french fry from Mau'i's still outstretched hand.
   He stuck it in his mouth, then suddenly took the tray from Mau'i and started shoveling french fries in his mouth as fast as he could.
   "Now I have to get more." Complained Mau'i.
   He walked out of the room again, and Perseus followed him. Mau'i walked over to a place brightly lit up, and went inside. Perseus noted vaguely that there was a bunch of Ms everywhere. Mau'i walked over to a counter with a lady behind it.
   "Hi, welcome to Macbeth's, what would you like to order?" Asked the lady.
   "I would like a large root beer, some large french fries, and a large meal fit for a king." Said Mau'i.
   He looked at Perseus.
   "What would you like?" He asked.
   "I'll have what he's having." Perseus said.
   The lady smiled and went into a door that was behind the counter. She came back about five minutes later, with trays heaped with food.
   "Here are your orders." She said.
   They sat at a table and started wolfing the food down.
   "Good, right?" Asked Mau'i.
   Perseus nodded, his mouth full of food.
   "I love this place." Said Mau'i.
