(3 days later)
(In Kingdale,Arizona)
(Jonah,Percy Jackson,Ariana Finley,Aaron Finley,Vivian Vance,Evan Webber,Mya Rodriguez and Will Solace walk through the streets)
Ariana Finley:(walking)Kingman is a city along Route 66, in northwestern Arizona. The historic road's role in American history is celebrated at the Route 66 Museum, set inside the Powerhouse Visitors Center. Murals, dioramas and a library at the Mohave Museum of History and Arts trace local history. Locomotive Park, featuring a 1928 steam engine, and the Kingman Railroad Museum document the city's past as a 20th-century railway hub.
Aaron Finley:Ironically,our mother,Athena,created the 1st Olive Tree during a contest between her and Poseidon to get the chance to be the patron god of Athens.Which was eventually named after...
Mya Rodriguez:😣Ugh!Ya entendi!No te me pongas bruto!
Evan Webber:I still can't believe it took us 3 days just to get here
Jonah:Well,the attack of the wild Harpies at the train station in delayed us.
Vivian:Also,the ambush of the Cynocephali in Lake Habasu City.
Percy:Well,we are all here now and that is what matters the most right now.
Will:Now all we have to do is find out where exactly Apollo is being held in this place?
Ariana:Jonah,do you recall anything from your last dream with him?
Jonah:I remember it was a cave underground,but I couldn't recognize the place.Through there was a lot of space and it was surrounded by walls of red rock.
Aaron:There's only one place here in Arizona with that description.
Mya:And that is?
Ariana and Aaron: ...The Grand Canyon🏜...(During the night)
(In the Grand Canyon)
(Percy,Jonah,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan Webber,Mya and Will arrive)
(Percy,Jonah,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan Webber,Mya and Will take out flashlights)
(Percy,Jonah,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan Webber,Mya and Will turn on the flashlights)
Percy:(holding a flashlight)Search around the area,find any clues that could lead us to Apollo.
Mya:(holding a flashlight)Why couldn't we come here early in the afternoon?
Vivian:(holding a flashlight)What were we supposed to explain to the tourists why 2 adults and 4 kids have to go to the Grand Canyon by feet?
(Jonah walks through the Grand Canyon with a flashlight)
(Jonah looks down at the ground and sees a symbol of a Greek sun)
Jonah:(holding a flashlight)😳Guys...Look what I found...
(Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will go with Jonah)
(Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will see the Greek sun symbol on the ground)
Aaron:(holding a flashlight)Oh,gods...
Mya:(holding a flashlight)What?Is just a sol☀️?
Ariana:(holding a flashlight)You don't understand,Mya.On our last quest,the Titan Ephimetheus was locked inside a mountain,which could be only accessed by someone related to a specific god.
Aaron:(holding a flashlight)If This has Apollo's symbol,then it must be the same type of prison connected to Tartarus.
Will:(holding a flashlight)Why would the gods never warn us about this?
Jonah:(holding a flashlight)Another question dad must answer when we free him...
(Jonah touches the Greek sun symbol)
(Suddenly,the ground starts shaking)
(Everyone steps back from the Greek sun symbol)
(The ground opens and a sinkhole is formed)
(Then,a staircase appears going down)
(Everyone slowly gets closer to the hole )
(Ariana drops her flashlight on purpose)
Ariana:1...2...3...4...5...6
(The flashlight falls down the sinkhole)
(Suddenly,??? Grabs the flashlight)
Ariana:11...12...13...
Evan:(holding a flashlight)There's no way I'll go down there!That must be a lot of feet down than any community pool back at my home!
Percy:(holding a flashlight)I'm afraid there's no turning back at this point.We have to go down.
Vivian:Not to be a party pooper,but we're gonna need more flashlights to walk down without falling to our deaths.
Jonah:Not a problem for us...
(Jonah makes his hand glow)
(Will stretches and his whole body starts glowing)
Jonah:😳
Percy:😅That's what I call..."A human glow stick"...
Will:😒Let's just move on,guys.
(Everyone starts walking through the stairs down the sinkhole)
(Everyone gets to the bottom of the sinkhole)
(Percy,Jonah,Ariana,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will see a light at the end of a tunnel)
Ariana:That must be Tytios's prison...
Evan:(to Will)You might want to turn off your light,otherwise,we'll lose the element of surprise.
(Will snaps his fingers and his body stops glowing)
(Everyone walks through the tunnel)
(Everyone gets to the end of the tunnel)
(Everyone sees an underground pit glowing surrounded by monsters)
Percy:(in a low voice)It looks like Lydia's been kind of busy...
Vivian:(pointing/in a low voice)Percy,Look...
(Percy turns)
(Percy sees Theron)
Vivian:(in a low voice)It's Theron,the centaur from Camp Centaur.
Aaron:(in a low voice)He's not the only familiar face...
(Aaron points at James Wolverson and Melanie Lewis)
Aaron:(in a low voice)That's James Wolverson and Melanie Lewis.
Jonah:(in a low voice)Come on,let's find my dad...
(Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will sneak in without being seeing by monsters)
(Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will find Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy inside a cage hanging from the ceiling)
Jonah:Dad....
(Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy turns)
(Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy sees Jonah,Percy,Ariana,Aaron,Vivian,Evan,Mya and Will)
Apollo,God of the Sun and Prophecy:(inside the cage/weakened)My children...I knew you would come...through you took long enough...
Percy:(sarcastic)😒You're welcome,Apollo.
Apollo:(inside the cage/weakened)So...now that you're here...would you mind please get me out of here before my essence completely fades out of existence?
(Apollo grunts in pain)
Mya:🤨Geez,you don't look so powerful for a god?
Apollo:(inside the cage/weakened)Trust me,child.In my full power,you would be fascinated by my acquaintance.However,as my powers are being used to raise my own bane,my appearance has grown weaker...When the Lunar Eclipse reaches its peak, Tytios will be free and use his powers to black out the world forever....The sun will never shine again afterwards...
Jonah:Percy,Mya,Ariana and Aaron.You 4 have to find a way to free Apollo.
Mya:Why us?
Ariana:It's what the prophecy said "Water and Wisdom times 2 must break the cage".
Aaron:We have to work together to free Apollo from that cage...
Percy:Me and Mya Can summon a water fountain to help Ariana and Aaron reach the top.
Vivian:In the meantime,we'll do a distraction to buy you time.Right,Jonah?
(Suddenly,Jonah's eyes turn White)(Vision starts)
(Lydia Sharpe attacks with a Scythe)
(Vision ends)(Jonah's eyes turn back to normal)
Vivian:Jonah?
Evan:What did you saw?
