A few days later.
Shiro is on his way home when he notices a familiar face, standing and waving at him from a distance, it is Hermes, and Shiro runs over to great the God.
"Hermes, it's so good to see you!" he smiled at the God, "How you've been Shiro, it's been a while, you look a little bit different," Hermes said as he stared at Shiro.
*Gasp* he finally noticed that Shiro was more muscular, taller and hotter than the last time he saw him. Then they began to walk together as they discussed.
"Waw Shiro, I see you didn't just level up your powers, but also your appearance too!" Hermes laughed, patting the boy on his shoulder.
"Well, I have been busy training and gaining some experience, now I can even some of Orion's power without transforming!" Shiro explained to the deity.
"Yeah, I heard, that's good to know" Hermes smiled, "So, I haven't seen you in a while, did something happen?" Shiro asked.
"Nah, I've just been busy with some work, but don't worry, it's nothing I can't handle" He explained.
"Oh, I see" Shiro said, "I just hated the fact that I wasn't at the beach party you and the other Gods had" he pouted.
"You don't have to get too worked up about it, it wasn't a big deal" Shiro nervously laughed.
"Of course, it was!" Hermes said, sounding serious, which made Shiro surprised and confused.
"I can't believe I missed such a grand view of the goddesses" Hermes gloomed.
'Grand view of the goddesses?' Shiro thought, confused by what the God meant.
"So, Hermes, since you were busy, what with the sudden visit, is there something you need?" Shiro asked curious.
"Well, not exactly, I'm here on a request from a friend, he wants to see you" Hermes replied with a smile.
"Request? Friend? Who could that be?" Shiro asked, "That would be Hercules" he replied.
"Lord Hercules?" what does he want with me, is it more training?" Shiro asked.
"Not exactly, I'm just here to pick you up and take you to Olympus" Hermes replied.
"Okay, but I need to call my mom and Tyra and tell them I might come home late" Shiro said as he reached for his phone in his pocket.
"That won't be necessary" Hermes stated, "Hmm" Shiro responded.
"I met with your mum earlier on my way to your school and told her ahead of time, and Tyra is in Asgard" Hermes explained.
"Asgard? What is she doing there? Did something come up?" he asked.
"She was summoned by Odin, she just has some things she needs to take care of," the God replied.
"Umm ok" Shiro said, "By the way, I went into your house, it was pretty amazing!" Hermes said.
"Yeah, I know, it was a gift from Lady Freyr" Shiro said, "Freyr?" he said, *Sigh*, "Is something the matter?" Shiro asked, Then Hermes looked around suspiciously, leaned into Shiro and whispered in his ear "Word of advice, keep a distance from her".
"You don't have to tell me; I already know that" Shiro nervously chuckled.
"Good, so, are you ready to go?" Hermes smiled.
"Sure, let's go" They walked into an alley and Hermes teleported the both of them.

In Olympus.
Shiro and Hermes appeared at Olympus, "Waw, just in a second, we're already here" Shiro said as he took in the view.
"I am a messenger after all, how do you think I get around so easily, may I remind you that I'm the God of speed, there's none faster than me!" Hermes smiled, and then they both set off to meet Hercules.
As Shiro was walking with Hermes, he noticed some people were staring at him.
"What with the stares, do I stand out too much?" he asked.
"Of course, you do, they all know you're the new champion, so you're kind of a Star" Hermes replied.
"Really? So, where are we meeting Lord Hercules?" Shiro asked.
"Just right over here" Hermes said as he teleported them both into an area, it was a field with cheering crowd, but there were no contestants in the arena.
"Wow, where are we?" Shiro asked in amazement as he looked at the cheering crowd.
"Shiro! Hey Shiro!" he heard a familiar voice called out among the crowd, he looked to see it was Inari, Bastet, Guanyin, Zadkiel and lady sothis all disguised in Olympian robes.
"Inari, Bastet, Guanyin and lady Sothis? What are you all doing here?" he asked shocked.
"We came here to cheer you!" Inari replied, "I just came here to watch, nothing more" Sothis said in a simple expression.
"Cheer me?" Shiro said confused, "Hey Hermes, what do they mean by Cheer me?" Shiro asked, but as he turned around, he saw Hermes was gone.
"Hermes? Hermes?!" he said, wondering where the God went to.
"Go Shiro, you can do this!" he heard a voice in the crowd and he looked to see it was Hermes, cheering with the crowd.
"What the- what are you doing over there?!!" he yelled at the God.
"Cheering for you of course!" Hermies replied, "What do you mean? What's going on?" he asked.
Suddenly he heard trumpets and horns blowing, then he heard a creaking sound, then he noticed the door at the other side of the arena starting to open.
Then he saw a giant figure coming out from the door, he gasped in shock as he saw who it was.
