The Twelve Olympians
The Dungeon of the Naught. It is known by many names, including Naught?s Skyway and the Isles of the Forsaken, but each name suggests its horror. It is the highest security prison in the entire world. The worst of the worst come here so that they may experience death and suffering. They will long for death, and it will run from them. The conditions of this prison is more accommodating than Tartarus, but still quite horrible. Since Tartarus has been sealed off, all criminals and tyrants are set here for their life or afterlife. Tonight, the sky is cloudy and thunderous. The storm is loud and obnoxious...
Roku flew the chariot around the sky and used magic to make the chariot invisible. Bishamon, Ragnaroc, Haku, Rin, and Akira all watched intensely as the guards, all Hyperborean Giants, dracaena, Versuvio?s time soldiers, and Cretan Archers stood at their posts. The chariot pulled around the fortress and landed at a blind spot from the watchtowers. Rin got out of the chariot first and told everyone to wait there. An orange ring of magic surrounded her and she transformed into Cretan Archer. Her hair was tied back and her light armor covered her chest, leaving a small space between her navel and her waist, then it covered her legs.
Ragnaroc: 0_0 Woah?
Rin: I?ll distract the guards and get them to open the door for me. When I do, I?ll call you all over. Get in a disguise quickly.
Akira: Can?t we just appear inside the prison? O_O That would make this mission a whole lot easier.
Bishamon: Normally, if it were any other place, we could, but Naught?s Skyway is protected by a magical barrier. Nobody, not even a god, can just teleport in.
Lightning Struck again...
Ragnaroc: How come you get to trick the guards?
Rin: Because I?m a people?s person. Now?I must put the plan into motion.
Rin walked casually up to one of the guards.
Time Soldier: State your business?
Rin: Lord Zanji has ordered me to inspect the premises. Open the gates.
Time Soldier: Yes ma?am! *salute* Giants, open up the gates!
The Hyperborean giants opened up the gates and led Rin into prison.
Time Soldier: We will be your escorts. Where to first, ma?am?
Rin: To the center of this prison, please.
Time Soldier: Sorry ma?am, but the center of the prison is only to be shown to the Head of this prison and Lord Zanji.
Rin: Excuse me, but did I ask you to tell me whether or not the center of this prison is off limits? Or are you defying the orders of Lord Zanji?
Time Soldier: Umm?O_O *sweat drop* no ma?am.
Rin: And if Lord Zanji were to here of this, do you think he would show mercy to you, who defied him, or slice you in half with a lightning bolt?
Time Soldier: Umm?I suppose *sweat drop* the latter?ma?am.
Rin: So I suggest that you lead me to the center of this prison before such an event can occur U_U
Time Soldier: o_o YES MA?AM!
Bishamon: *whispers* Damn, she can be scary when she wants to O_O
Madara: You said it O_O
Time Soldier: *notices Rin?s bracelet* *thinks: Wait a minute?Cretan Archers don?t wear bracelets, especially not like those?* ma?am, please step aside.
Rin: I?ll be giving the orders here. Or Lord Zanji will not be happy.
Time Soldier: Oh don?t worry, Lord Zanji won?t mind if you?re gone?Lady Rin! *takes out sword*
Rin: Crap! O_O I?ve been discovered.
Time Soldier: Sound the alarms and put this prison on immediate lockdown. She?s a wanted enemy of the Titans!
One of the guards took out a horn and was about to sound it when it was sliced in half by a celestial silver light. Haku jumped down in front of him and brought her hunting knives around to pin him to the wall.
Haku: Shhhh!!!
Time Soldier: INTRU?
The Time Soldier?s neck snapped and he melted into a pool of clear liquid. Bishamon stood over him, smirking. He and Haku circled the Hyperborean giants and quickly and swiftly slashed through each of them, Bishamon leaving behind pools of blood and Haku leaving behind wild lilies on the deceased bodies of the giants.
Roku: Well that plan failed O_O
Madara: These guys aren?t stupid. We?ll need to be even more cautious than ever.
Footsteps thundered down the hall.
Madara: Everybody hide? O_O
The gods and goddesses leaped behind barrels, rolled behind doors, and hid behind desks. The footsteps came from a Cretan Archer who had heard the noise caused by the quick battle. Rin quickly hid the bodies of the giants and soldier with hearth magic. The Cretan Archer looked around the hall for anything suspicious, but he couldn?t find the gods, who were hiding themselves with magic as well.
Cretan Archer: Magic?I can smell it. *takes out bow and arrow and holds it at the ready*
The Cretan Archer stumbled around a corner and Roku?s foot knocked him to the ground, also kicking the archer?s bow out of his hand. The archer reached to grab his bow but was stopped when he noticed Roku holding his celestial gold bow and arrow down at the archers face.
Roku: I wouldn?t if I were you.
Cretan Archer: By the gods o_o ?it?s the god of the sun.
Roku: ?and archery. Now, tell me, where is the center of this prison?
Cretan Archer: I won?t tell you anything! *hand slowly gets closer to bow*
Roku: *pulls back on arrow* You sure about that?
Cretan Archer: Despite my great respect for you, my loyalty resides with Lord Zanji and Versuvio *hand slowly getting closer to bow*?if I turn on them, I will face their wrath?and *grabs bow*
Roku: *releases arrow*
The Cretan Archer winced, squeezing his eyes shut, thinking that Roku shot him in the face, but then he felt surging pain in his hand. He saw Roku?s arrow drilled through his hand and into the ground, preventing him from moving it any further.
Roku: I warned you.
Cretan Archer: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.< *Thinks: Impossible! He changed position and shot the arrow so fast! What is this feeling in my hand. It?s like my entire body?s freezing*
Roku?s arrow was releasing a cold mist from the tip. He smirked and then put his bow and arrow on his back. Roku held his hand out, palm up, and a gold fire formed in it.
Roku: Now?what will you do? And don?t lie?I can tell if you?re lying ~_O
Cretan Archer: It?s down that hall *points* and then right, and you?ll come across a maze that?s easy to get through. The center will be hidden under a large tree growing in the middle of that maze. There are prisoners all over, and they might be hostile towards you! That?s all I know!
Roku: ??Good answer. *grabs the archer by the collar and throws him into the wall* Let?s get moving. *takes out bow* We should take out those watchtowers.
Bishamon: That?ll just make them search for us then! O_O
Roku: Not if they think it?s him?*points at archer* Haku?ready your aim.
Haku: Ready O_O
Roku took out two arrows and created an empty quiver and he tossed them toward the unconscious archer. He then took out his bow and pulled back on the string, and when he did, it made a harmonic sound that formed 5 energy blue arrows.
Roku: Sonic Arrows?it?ll make a lot of noise, so you all need to start heading down toward the center. *walks outside with Haku* Ready sis?
Haku: Ready!
Haku and Roku released their 5 arrows all at once. The arrows made a screeching sound that was very high frequency, like the ripping of metal, as it ripped through the air. The first arrow flew toward on watchtower and shot through the guard there, and when it did, sparks flew everywhere and the force of energy that formed when that sonic arrow hit was like thunder as the watchtower exploded, pushing the guard to his doom. The other 4 arrows divided up and did the same to the other watchtowers until all of the watchtowers were taken out.
Haku: Nice shooting brother ^_^
Roku: You too sis ^.^ now let?s catch up with everyone else!
Madara opened the door, only to be met by two time soldiers that were just about to exit. He slammed the door on them and tried to keep it closed, but they kept trying to force it open.
Time Soldier: Who was that?!
Madara: Umm?a janitor >_>
Time Soldier: OPEN UP!
Madara kicked the door open, knocking the two time soldiers back and Akira stomped the ground, causing a sudden pillar of rock to shoot them up into the ceiling, knocking them unconscious.
Rin: Nice footwork Akira ^_^
Akira: Thanks *bows*
The group walked toward the door at the end of the walkway, disputing over where the guard told them to go. They approached one door that had the word ?Forbidden? written there in ancient Greek. Ragnaroc hesitated to open the door, so Bishamon pushed him aside and flung the door wide open, shocked by what he saw.
Bishamon: O_____________O
Akira: O_O
???: *turns around* Hello?Olympians.
The man had a windy face, scarred and his eye was missing. His hair was constantly blowing around, not too wildly, but as if wind was blowing on it. Every few moments, his body seemed like it was made of air, and then he would return to normal. His eyes were shocking blue and white. Heavenly winds surrounded him and the symbol of the ?Upper Sky? was carved into his prison cell?s back wall.
Ragnaroc: Aether O_O
Aether: Yes?I am Aether, the primordial god of the Upper Sky and Heaven and the air the gods breathe. *looks at Rin* Well, haven?t you grown to be a beautiful young woman?I?m sad that your father has once again taken the throne.
Bishamon: Woah?I can?t believe we?re actually meeting Aether. He usually stays hidden from the gods and the world.
Aether: Yet I am always there, watching.
Rin: Great Uncle Aether, Zanji too has taken over Olympus. Did he put you here, your greatness?
Aether: Zanji? That troublesome boy that ruled the underworld? I never thought he?d get stuck down there. He was a genius as a child.
Madara: How come you don?t remember me when I was little? O_O
Aether: Well, Rin was the eldest, and you were the youngest. Since your mother hid you, I never got to actually meet you.
Madara: *sigh* >_>
Versuvio: Well, well, what an interesting reunion.
Zanji: Indeed it is, father. *chuckles*
Madara: Zanji?O_O What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were up on Mount Olympus.
Zanji: I came here because I saw seven little worms squirming around where they shouldn?t be. What is your purpose here?
Bishamon: None of your business, Zanji!
Zanji: Bisha?please?take a seat
Zanji snapped his fingers and Bishamon was immediately tied down by magical metal bars. Versuvio sharpened his scythe.
Bishamon: You pansy! You want a piece of me? Untie me and we?ll fight right here and now, B*TCH!
Versuvio: So vulgar.
Zanji: Please, I wouldn?t waste ten seconds of my time on you.
Aether: Versuvio! You will reap the consequences of your actions and your evil?your lust for power and your hatred will be your downfall. I foresee it!
Versuvio: You and your prophecies :|
Aether: ?Tis no prophecy! I see it in your eyes! I CAN SEE IT! You control people with fear and it will be your downfall! Heed to my warning and leave my cell NOW!
Versuvio: Get this fool out of my sight!
Time Soldier Leader: Yes sir! *takes Aether*
Versuvio and his uncle locked eyes and then turned away from each other. Versuvio had his soldiers apprehend the Olympians and make them prisoners. They were tied up in magical shackles and bindings.
Zanji: Oh?and in the case that you may want to use your powers to escape, be my guest. I?m sure Typhon will be more than happy to see you outside *smirks*
Madara: Typhon?! O_O Of course! I saw that storm, but he didn?t attack. It was a ploy to get us locked in here! Dammit!
Roku: It?s okay, Madara. O_O We?ll find away *is taken to cell* Hey, watch the arrows. >.<
The gods and goddesses were taken away to their cells as Zanji laughed evilly and Versuvio snickered.
THE NEXT DAY
Akira was in Aether?s cell. They were roomies basically. Akira grabbed a drink of water and then he took a bite out of some white bread (which was extremely flavorful), which caught Aether?s attention. Akira walked out of his cell to go down to the lunch area, but Aether followed behind him.
Akira: Do you mind?
Aether: You ate my bread!
Akira: So? O_O It was just bread.
Aether: That bread was made from the fountains of Elderon! The heartlands of the wind. It is a sacred bread, only to be eaten by air and wind gods. By eating that, you have stepped onto our territory and you will pay the price. *hair blows wildly and wind blows through the entire lunch area*
Akira: Uh oh O_O
Madness has struck Aether...
