The Legends Collide (Part 19)

   Mau'i and Perseus finished their meals fit for kings, and ordered another one for Thor. They went back to the waiting room and started waving it under his nose. He woke up suddenly, and shouted: "Macbeth's!" He started wolfing it down.
   Mau'i and Perseus laughed, then sat down and started watching TV.
   "You know what?" Said Perseus.
   "What?" Asked Mau'i.
   "This is getting boring. I want to explore more."
   "Okay."
   They got up.
   "Let's go through this door." Said Mau'i, walking towards a door.
   Perseus followed him. They came to a room with a bunch of tubs in it. The water in them was bubbling. Mau'i jumped in.
   "Ahhh." He sighed in contentment.
   Perseus cautiously got in. Soon, he too was sighing in contentment.
   Thor walked in.
   "Ah, you have discovered the hot tubs, I see." He said.
   "Hop in, Thor." Said Perseus.
   "Ah, I would, but you see, the stench of me not bathing for about 200 years helps ward off enemies."
   Perseus looked horrified.
   "No wonder he stinks so bad." He muttered to Mau'i.
   Mau'i snickered.
   The door opened again. It was Yoda, followed by Arthur and Achilles. As soon as Achilles saw the hot tubs, he gave a whoop of delight, and jumped in.
   "Just passed the test, they have." Said Yoda.
   Arthur smirked.
   "Have you noticed you're going to rust your armor by doing that, Achilles?" He asked.
   "Bane of Poseidon!" Achilles swore, jumping out.
   "Watch your mouth!" Said Perseus.
   "Sorry." He mumbled.
   "Why don't you jump in, Yoda?" Asked Perseus.
   "Ah, I would, but bathed for 400 years I have not." He said. "Thor and I know that for warding off enemies, great is stench."
   Perseus shuddered, and scooted further away from Yoda.
   "Your flying tests, you have all passed, now armor is the only thing keeping you from going." Said Yoda.
   "What do you mean?" Asked Achilles, looking down at his armor.
   "He means new armor is being made for you." Said Thor. "The only armor that can withstand a few blows from the Moonfaller."
   Yoda nodded.
   "While being made for you, this armor is, free to do whatever you like, you are."
   He walked out of the room, leaving the men free to do anything they like.

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.

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.
