Chapter 9 - Aftermath

In the destroyed city while they were all in a group hug, it started to rain.

Suddenly a man walked up to them "are you guys ok?" the man said to them. They all looked towards him.

"Yes we are" Poseidon said, "oh thank goodness, I live in a nearby town and when I heard the explosion I came out here to see what caused it" the man said.

"if you don't mind can we stay at your town for a little bit?" Hestia said, "sure I was gonna ask you kids anyway" the man said.

The next day.

The rain was cleared on a bright sunny day with the birds chirping. Zeus then woke up on his new comfortable mattress, way better then a bloody one.

Zeus then went outside to see all the towns people in a happy mood. Hestia the started making food with the chefs.

While Zeus was walking he accidentally bumped into this kid "hey kid watch where your going" the kid said "yea, same to you too" Zeus said.

"What?, what the he'll did you just say to me?" the kid said. The kid then grabbed Zeuses hair but then Zeus kicked him in the stomach.

The kid then punched Zeus in the chest then Zeus punched him then roundhouse kicked him in the jaw, making him fall to the ground.

Then out of nowhere Zeus felt someone punch his back and the pain sent him to the ground, he then looked to see who punched him.

He saw a muscular looking kid with no shirt on and only a pants and a loincloth wrapped around his waist. He also saw a young girl standing next to the muscular kid.

"Who are you huh?" The muscular kid said "do you think we should be attacking him, what if it wasn't his fault" the young girl said.

Zeus was confused but he then stood up "don't even attack me again if you know what's good for you" Zeus said. The muscular kid then charged at Zeus.

Zeus then dodged it and kicked him in his neck, the muscular kid then landed a devastating punch on Zeuses stomach making Zeus fall down.

The muscular kid then went down to go punch Zeus while he was on the ground. Zeus then quickly wrapped his legs around the kids neck, choking him.

"Guys just stop" the young girl said. Suddenly one of the townsfolk grabbed the kid off of Zeus and broke up the fight.

"you can't fight in the village ok" the townsfolk said. "Sisyphus I told you we shouldn't have fought him" the young girl said "I don't care Tiresias, he needed to learn his lesson from beating up Tantalus".

"Wait so that half naked buff kids name is Sisyphus, and the girls name is Tiresias, and the other guy that I fought is Tantulas" Zeus thought to himself.

Poseidon and Hestia then showed up "what's going on here?" Poseidon said "who the he'll are you two?" Sisyphus said.

"Ok ok this is Zeus, Poseidon and Hestia and you three this is Sisyphus, Tantulas and Tiresias" one of the townspeople said.

"There here because they defeated two former Olympian gods and they need a place to stay" one of the townspeople said.

"There no way they beat two gods, especially former Olympian gods" Sisyphus said "yeah we did, but we had two other people helping us" Zeus said.

"Actually Zeus the reason why I'm here is because I need you to go on a mission up to go scope out an organization, but it's a solo mission so you have to go alone" the townspeople said.

"Wait what there's no way I'm letting him go alone" Poseidon said "this is non negotiable, he does not have a choice" the townspeople said.

"What do you mean he doesn't have a choice?" Poseidon said. "THIS IS AWESOME!" Zeus said, everyone was then confused.

"You mean I finally get to go on a mission alone and show that I'm actually reliable, this is so cool" Zeus said "yeah that's the spirit" the townspeople said.

"I'm going right now" Zeus said. Zeus then sprinted off to the mountain to complete his mission "do you think he will be ok?" Hestia said concerned.

"It's kinda cool how he gets to go on a mission, wait how old are you guys?" Sisyphus said "well I'm 13 and Poseidon is 16 and our brother Zeus is 12" Hestia said.

"Oh so you guys are all siblings, that's cool" Tantulas said "me Tantulas and Tiresias are just childhood friends and if your wondering I'm 14, Tantulas is 14 also and Tiresias is 12, the same age as your brother Zeus" Sisyphus said.

"Oh that's sweet maybe those two can be friends" Hestia said "yeah maybe, we'll anyway we're off you guys next time" Sisyphus said as they all walked around the town.

Poseidon was just staring at the ground wondering if Zeus will be ok "don't worry I'm sure he's strong enough to handle himself" Hestia said to Poseidon.
