A Demigod Tale

Chapter 34: Welcome to the Grand Finale!

Zeus rubbed his beard and wondered what to do. Poseidon had filled his throne with trash from the ocean and seaweed. The King of Olympus was think of how to retaliate. He was considering shrinking his brother's trident somehow when he heard someone laugh. He looked around the throne room, but it was empty except for him. He heard the laughter again and sighed in annoyance. "If this is Apollo or Hermes playing a joke, I warn you to stop!" he said sternly.

"Hiya Zeusy!" a voice said. Jimmy appeared in front of him, red eyes gleaming with excitement. He had blood on his knife and on his clothes. He had changed his outfit, wanting to look his best for the King. He had chosen a dark blue hoodie, blood red shirt, and black jeans. He tilted his head and laughed at the shock on the sky god's face. "You should see yourself! Bet'cha thought you'd never see me again, huh?"

Zeus recovered from his disbelief and grabbed his lightning bolt. He threw it at Jimmy, who just stepped out of the way. "Aw, you can do better than that!" Jimmy teased. He ran up to Zeus and pressed Knifey against his neck. "You're going to regret what you did to me," Jimmy said, his voice deep and filled with rage. His eyes became dark red, like dried blood, and he scowled. He kicked Zeus. He laughed at how weak the so-called mighty god was. He threw Knifey and it hit Zeus right in his chest.

"We banished you once before, fool! You think we won't do so again?"

Jimmy summoned Kinfey back to him and twirled the weapon in his hands as though bored. He began to twitch as he spoke. "You don't have the strength anymore. Less and less people think you're real, and less and less demigods truly support you. You're all being forgotten, fading very slowly. I'm as strong as ever! I have oh-so many fans! I have them to thank for this nice new look!" He cackled and twitched. "And now I'm going to get you out of the picture!"

Before Zeus could react Jimmy trapped him in his fears. Zeus became mortal, faded, was replaced as king, lost all his status and powers but remained mortal, and so much more. He fell to the ground and began to scream, but it could barely be heard over Jimmy's laughter. The god of fear left, grinning in triumph. Now for the next part of his plan.
