neighborhood .   

 

sieg"why are we going to Crete "

 

sid"they are limits to time travel. In Olympians time

airplanes were not invented ." 

 

sieg"what does that matter "

 

sid" we travel through time not from place to place . So If

we traveled through time here we would see a desert . But if we traveled

through time where Olympus was we would go to Olympus in the age of gods"

 

Sieg "so that why going to Crete for talos ,so it time do

you think I'm ready" he says with a serious face .

 

 sid "no. But it's a

matter of if you think your ready "

 

sieg  " no I don't"

 

sid"then let's stop and go back to train-"

 

sieg interrupts her   "but I want to go anyway " he

says with empty eyes full of determination. 

 

sid "as expected of my protégé "she says with a evil black

empty void of a smile .

 

sid"so let's go" .

 

-airplane station

 

They travel to the airplane station .

 

 Airplane receptionist

"this will be 10 000 dollar flight"

 

sieg  "how are we gonna pay for this " he freaks out

while grabbing his hair .

 

 sid smirks and slaps

10 000 cash on the table . 

 

sieg" how did you get that " 

 

sid " not telling" she says with a cute voice and holding

her finger in front of her mouth and moving side to side with her wrist at her

waist bending down.

 

But The plane takes off.

 

 

sid "Here we are at Crete. "

 

  sieg  is beside the ocean with sunglasses and

all the suitcase covering his body ,arms and head .

 

sid "time to go to the portal at the center of the island .

or what we call heraklion"

 

sieg  carried a camera ready and prepared .they

traveled and went to see chania the sougia  the agios loannis to

heraklion.

 

-museum

 

he and sid visited a museum and took picture of the

Olympians statues and culture .

 

Museum guide "are most popular legend is of talos the 30 m

humanoid automaton. In Greek mythology, Talos,also

spelled Talus or Talon ,  was a

giant automaton made of bronze to protect Europa in Crete from

pirates and invaders. He circled the island's shores three times daily.Talos is

usually said to have been made by Hephaestus at the request

of Zeus, to protect Europa from people who would want to kidnap

her. In the Cretan  , talos was the equivalent of the

Greek Helios, the Sun: The lexicon of Hesychius of 

andria notes simply "Talos is the Sun"."

 

As the guide ended the two went on through the portal into

the age of gods Crete.

 

-portal  

 

sieg"wait it minute , what happened to the suitcase and my

camera . "

 

sid" I told you already"

 

sieg "wait a minute you knew didn't you"

 

sid smirks "what if did "

 

sieg "your, you're you are the devil"

 

sieg  drops his jaw in shock.

 

sid"its not that surprising"

 

sieg "its not that , I think the giant behind is talos

, he's the size of 3 houses .how am  I'm suppose to beat that  " he

says as he shakes .

 

sid shakes while looking back and replies "yeahhhhhh" 

 

talos moves for the attack winding up a punch. 

 

sieg"run away"

 

 sid hold him be the collar

and says "no way. Stand your ground with you blade and shield that is all you

need to do "

 

sid faces the pinch with a cold face as soon as he sees her

face his trance face posture and Sword become cement . Looking at talos with a

smile  hiding fear.

 

a Stranger appeared before the two of them .

 

Stranger"talos I order you stop " 

 

sieg  "who is that talos listened to her "

 

sid" the only person able to do that would be Europa the

consort of Zeus " 

 

sieg  "who"

 

sid" the museum guide told you about her talos was made to

protect her "

 

europa"to protect you mean to imprison me " 

 

sid"according to legend , he was made to protect you "

 

europa "legend . Oh you are from Olympus aren't you . You're

not from this time "

 

sid"yes we are, any problems  "

 

europa"  no there aren't,  let me guess you're

here to free me ."

 

sid "what are you talking about "

 

Europa "Hephaestus has always felt bad about imprisoning at

zeus behest with talos , so once a year he gives out a challenge for new age

gods to beat him and free me . "

 

sid" I see , so I can infer the reason you haven't been

freed is because everyone who has challenged talos has died"

 

 europa " sadly yes "

she says with pity in her eyes . Europa " Hephaestus gave you a death

sentence  , those are all the weapons of all challengers. This is a

graveyard " she points at hundreds of bumps of sand with a weapon impaled on

top. " You can stay here as long as you want as long as you don't touch me

. " The three of them go on to a tower towering talos . 

 

sieg"so this is your bed "

 

europa " I can only see talos and the sea , one day I will

go to the sea. I now that it will never happen . Would it be better to be dead"

 

sieg  flashbacks at the time when he thought the same

when he was bullied . Her eyes reminded of his old self . The night come and

europa goes to sleep .

 

 Europa " you can

sleep anywhere you want I don't care"  sieg and sid stay up and look at

the star side by star . He puts his head on his hand looking at sid . He's

intoxicated by her beauty and thinks " when she's not master or the devil she

beautiful under the star light" 

 

sid " I know what your thinking , she's the same as you ,

trapped  . You fighted  back"

 

sieg  "but I wouldn't have if it weren't for you and if

it was Talos I was supposed to fight " he smiles sweetly .

 

sid" can't argue with that. I am the best " she points at

herself with her thumb with a prideful smile . 

 

sid '' so will you give up sieg"

 

sieg" you've asked that question enough in my training ,to

know the answer  now  " he says while staring at the sky.

 

sid " yes I know . Stupid question" she smiles with a guilty

look .

 

Sieg thinks " from her face she is hiding something , she

would only be hiding something that would make me hate her . I don't know what

it is . But i know one thing , master stop feeling guilty whatever you're

hiding ill accept it "

 

-The next day

 

Europa wakes up to sieg on the balcony  .

 

sid " perfect time talos should be coming any minute "

 

europa "so you've decided to fight it " she says with empty

laugh and eyes .

 

sieg `` you know europa in our time a whole country full of

millions of people is named after you , it's called Europe . Now I can't let a

whole country be named by someone else.  Europe is the best name for it,

so I can't let you stay here where you will die one way or another" he says

with a confident and pure smirk. Talos appeared, as it walk on sieg took a leap

to talos back where ninjas styled run to his head with his sword in his hand .

He stopped behind his neck where plunged his xyphos  into its gears . It

did nothing and he's weapon was stuck into talos . He was shaken off and was

shaped into the tower like a bug  .

 

Europa " as expected "she says with empty eyes

 

sid"I wouldn't give up on him yet. His not dead yet " 

he land on the burials of the dead past challengers.  He took one of the

spears from one of the burials and bows in respect then he warmed up (goku vs

broly style) . Then he dashes to talos legs and throws the spear,   to

immobilize  talos   . A Golden liquid came from it.  

sieg realized instantly that that was it weakness so he dash back to the

burials for a sword to slash the open vein . With one back swing , horizontal

swing he cut the  vein. Talos lost its balance and fell .

 

Yet europa was still not happy as she knew it wasn't the end

.

 

Talos turned into a mechanical bull, with no apparent

weakness and horns big enough  to breaks armor  on contact . 

 

 As sieg prepared with

his hanging left  stance,  the sword in his hand shattered.  But

he did not falter , he uses a hand to hand combat  fighting stance . It

looked like he was preparing to wrestle the giant bull formed talos .  sid

"a warrior can't always use a weapons , being able to be dependent on your

hands. Can save you in a life or death situation. That is why I made sure he

achieved  all 12 labors to gain immense strength. "

 

europa " all 12 labors , his daily training was fruit fall  " 

 

sieg proceeds to hold on the talos horn and suplex by his

grip alone . Europa``impossible, a human could not do that " 

 

sid" I wouldn't be surprised trained him " 

 

europa "talos Is not getting its not getting up" she cries

at this sight  and her empty eyes fill up with color " sieg stands clear ,

then he roared like a wild beast .

 

sid"isn't it a beautiful sight , this is my hero first

victory"   a flaming xyphos appeared before him . All the weapons on top

of the burials turned into ash and went I to the xyphos . The flaming xyphos

when inside his chest .

 

sid " 1 down 2 to go " she says with a guilty look

 

sid " there no going back now " 

 

sieg"erectis  "

his eyes became became intoxicated as if what he was doing was extinct , talos

body raised in set of flames .

 

sieg"become my servant , i shall be your monarch , you shall

be my armor and my shield"

 

 talos inflamed body

kneeled in one knee and entered his body and he  collapsed .

 

Europa rushed to his side "is he okay"

 

sid" it's normal after achieving a shenryoku"

 

europa " when he wakes up please tell him that will forever

be in debt to him"

 

sid"don't worry I'll make sure that your debt will be

paid in kind ."

 

Europa"who are you, the way you look at him.wait a

minute aren't you "

 

sid points  a Scythe that appears from nowhere to europa

neck in one swift motion. 

 

sid" do not finish that name in front of him, even  if it's unconscious body I will not allow it"

she says while biting his teeth and her eyes full of unending rage.

 

 Europa says" I'm

sorry it was my mistake." . Europa retreats to the sea .

 

-unknown

 

While Sid calms down she picks up sieg to the portal and

says "you did a great job" she smiles but  she frowns . As she passes the

portal she sees a blue eyed ox and says "zeus you've been watching haven't

you"as she smirks .She goes into the portal. 

 

sid  pats sieg head in her arms . Sid meets with a

butler in front of a private jet .

 

Buttler"young mistress , you've return " he says with cold loyalty
