Olympus

Freeing a Legend

I arrived at the Corridor of Suspended Time to find Hercules. This place was entirely made of ice and water. The Gods used to use it as a storage area, but not since Zeus banished Hercules into this forsaken prison. I saw the Trojan Horse from the battle of Troy, a wooly mammoth, a pirate ship, even the skeleton of a dragon, but no sign of Hercules. "Hercules, if you're here do not attack me I'm a friend, I've come to help you escape." I said. Hercules jumped out of his hiding space with his sword in his hands running right towards me with anger. "Oh shit." I said. He swung his sword at me, I ducked and his sword got stuck in an iceberg. "Hercules stop I'm here to help you." I said.
"Liar, you're here to kill me, so that Zeus doesn't have to watch his own son die." Hercules said.
"If I was here to kill you, don't you think I would be fighting back?" I replied.
"Don't you think I would have drawn my sword?" I asked.
"You have to believe me I'm here to help you." I said.
"Alright well whatever way you came here, it won't get us out, this place is protected by a magic seal that prevents prisoners from escaping." Hercules said.
"Well we're just going to have to find a way out the old fashioned way then, won't we?" I said. We started exploring the Corridor of Suspended Time to find a way out to help everyone back at the Pentagon breaking out Hermes.
"Wait I never got your name." Hercules said.
"Nathan, Nathan Branton, I'm the son of Hades." I said.
"What, I thought Hades never had a child?" Hercules asked.
"Well you've been here for a while Herc." I replied.
"Speaking of which, do you know how long I've been here?" Hercules asked.
"The year is 2010 of the 21st century Hercules." I replied.
"So that's how long Zeus has kept me here." Hercules said.
"I'm afraid so, but now's not the time to be angry at your father, now's the time for us getting out of here because as of right now my friends are battling the Hydra at a place called the Pentagon because we're trying to break Hermes out of a prison he's being held in, and you are the only living Demigod who's killed the Hydra." I said.
"So what's your plan on getting us out of here, son of Hades?" Hercules asked.
"I have no idea." I replied.
"Good plan kid." Hercules said.
"Well what's your idea, Hero?" I asked.
"Follow me, I think I know a way out of here." Hercules said. Meanwhile, Derek and the others were holding off the Hydra until I returned.
"Where the hell did Nathan go?" asked Derek
"He said he went to get backup." said Kayla.
"Yeah well he's no goddamn help!" said Jason.
"Nathan disappearing was not part of the plan." Kevin said.
"Kevin, when do heists like this EVER go according to plan?" Marcus asked.
"Look Nathan must've had a good reason for leaving in the middle of a battle, so until then we're just going to have to last long enough for Nathan to come back." Sarah said.
"All right well what can we do against a Hydra?" Trevor asked.
"Jason's lightning seemed pretty effective against it." Derek said.
"And my spear is still lodged in one of the heads." Sarah said.
"Jason, shock that son of a bitch." Kayla said. Jason struck the spear again and again with bolts of lightning until the Hydra roared and hit Jason with a bolt of fire and Jason flew through a brick wall, falling unconscious.
"Kayla watch Jason and make sure he doesn't die." Trevor ordered.
"Kevin, run around the Hydra as fast as you can, Marcus use your magic or whatever to hit that spear with more lightning, Derek while Kevin is running throw some water into his vortex and freeze it to create a frozen prison around the Hydra, can you do that?" Trevor said.
"Yeah I can." Derek said.
"Hey Kayla can I borrow you bow and arrows?" Sarah asked.
"Sure go show those boys how to kick ass." Kayla said. Sarah grabbed the Bow of Harmony and shot all four Hydra heads with arrows in each eye, while Kevin was running in circles creating a vortex, plus Derek and Marcus adding water and lightning to the mix.
"Alright my turn." Trevor said as he summoned his favored twin swords.
"Suck on this!" Trevor said as he flew threw the air slicing off the four Hydra heads.
"Trevor you stupid son of a bitch, do you have any idea what you just did?" Kevin asked. "What the hell are you talking about, I killed that little bastard?" Trevor asked.
"Trevor when you cut off one Hydra head, two more take it's place." Marcus said.
"Nice job son of Ares!" Sarah said angrily. They watched as eight more heads grew on the Hydra's body and four of the heads began to spit fire at everyone. They all took cover except Trevor and Sarah, Trevor summoned a shield and blocked all of the Hydra's fire. Then the Hydra aimed its fire towards Sarah and fired at her, when suddenly Jason landed in front of her and blocked the fire with The Master Shield.
"Glad to see you back on your feet Jason." Derek said.
"Nathan's on his way, hold off the Hydra!" Jason ordered. Back at the Corridor of Suspended Time Hercules and I found the exit but it was protected by the dragon skeleton.
"Okay son of Hades, let's see what you can do." Hercules said as I drew Inferno and Hercules drew his massive great sword known only as the Hero's Blade. Hercules jumped in the air towards the skeleton with no hesitation.
He managed to stick his sword inside the dragon's ribcage but when he attempted to remove the sword it got stuck. I threw a bolt of fire at the dragon's front right leg and watched as the dragon stumbled to stand up. "My name is Nathan!" I said to Hercules.
"Not bad kid, not bad." Hercules replied. Hercules picked up the dragon's bone and begun to strike the dragon with blow after blow until the dragon's jaw popped off. I threw my sword into the ceiling on top of the dragon and ignited the sword to melt the ice and trap the dragon in ice.
"Good job Nathan." Hercules said.
"Thank you Herc, for calling me Nathan." I replied.
"Alright let's get the hell out of here, I'm freezing my ass of here." I said.
"Pussy." Hercules said under his breath. We made it back to the pentagon to finish off the Hydra.
"Oh look who came back, how was your vacation Nathan?" Trevor asked.
"Fucking cold." I replied.
"Well at least you're alive." Kayla said.
"All right let's finish this." Hercules said. Kayla shot arrow after arrow at the Hydra's multiple heads, Kevin was running around dealing lighting quick hits all over the Hydra's body, Jason and Marcus struck the Hydra with multiple lighting bolts, while Trevor, Derek, Sarah, Hercules and I led an unrelenting assault on the Hydra and didn't stop attacking. Finally Kevin said "Nathan, finish this!" so I executed The Nine Circles of Hell and banished the Hydra to the Underworld.
"Phew thank gods that's over with." Derek said.
"But we're not done yet." Jason said. We opened the cell door and Hermes walked out and said. "Took you rookies long enough."
