The Confused Demigod (rough draft) (completed)

Hydras Can't Handle Spicy Food

Nico raised his hands and out came a skeleton. 

"So here is Jules-Albert," he said introducing us to his chauffeur. 

"Thank you!" We said. I shouldered my bag and started to help pack up the car. There wasn't really much because it was just the three of us. Nico wished us all good luck, and with that we went on our way. I felt my eyes get heavy and cursed. My mom just had to drive around the block until I feel asleep when I was younger. 

When I was later woken up it was because Aurora needed a pee break. I decided to go along with them, because who knew when we had the chance. We walked into a gas station and the guy had his eyes glued to us. He had pale ass skin and looked to have thinning hair under his baseball cap. He was stroking his dog weirdly. It was like any moment he would say, "I've been waiting for you," in a creepy Russian accent. We quickly walked to the bathroom. I guess he didn't see people here often. When we walked out of the bathroom he was gone. 

"Keep moving, don't stop," Aurora said and pushed me through the gas station. Outside we saw Matrix with her sword out fighting a hydra. We ran back and grabbed our weapons, I started shooting at their eyes, trying to blind them. Aurora went to cut off a head.

"No wait!" yelled Matrix but it was just too late. Goop was dripping everywhere. Two other heads started to grow out of the original neck.

"What kind of gecko shit is this?!" I yelled in true fear. I kept arrows flying from my fingers, blinding the hydra. Aurora and Matrix attacked the legs trying to immobilize it. I suddenly got a smart idea. I ran back into the gas station and grabbed some extra extra spice burritos. I ran outside and looked at the heads moving around like the arms of sock man from the car wash. I realized there was one problem, I can't throw. 

"Matrix!" I called out, "make one of them lower their head!"

"Excuse me?!" She said, she quickly glanced over at me with a look that was a mix of disbelief and murder.

"Just.." I sighed and lowered my voice from a yell to talking, "trust me please."

"Why couldn't you ask Jules-Albert?" She said in a whiney voice. I could understand why, I wouldn't want to do this either. I looked over to JA and he was just sitting there, his hands were perched on the steering wheel and he was watching the windshield wipers clean the goop off his windshield. 

"Jules!" I called, he turned to face me, still holding an expressionless face. I guess I couldn't blame him, it is not like he had eyebrows or anything. He couldn't even smile. 

"Can you make one of their heads lower so I can throw one of these into their mouth?" 

"That is seriously your master plan right now?!" said Aurora. If this didn't work I would have better luck dying due to Hydra accidents than Aurora. 

"Now is not the time Aurora!" I said quickly in an annoyed tone. I mean seriously, the guts on this girl. She just had to call out my stupid plan in the midst of battle. Jules slowly got out of the car. He stared at our situation and then started a dead sprint to a Hydra's head. He jumped onto the snout of the hydra and tried to drag it down. I don't know what powers or dead weight he had, but it worked. He stuck his foot into their mouth and pushed a pressure point, forcing them to open up. I threw the burrito into the hydra like a grenade. 

"Take cover!" I yelled. We all ran back into the van when we heard a huge rumble. Looks like I was right, hydras can't handle spicy food. We all ducked our heads preparing for the worst, when we felt the car rock a little. I looked up and the car was covered in goop. I heard a click of Jules-Albert turning on the windshield wipers and suddenly we could see the destruction that they hydra left behind. 

"Thanks JA," I said and clapped his shoulder bone. I walked out and saw that the windows were blown in and there was a hole in the roof from where the hydra stepped into the building through the ceiling. The whole building was covered in hydra goo. We quickly raided the gas station and jumped in the car for JA to drive us away. I hope we would get there soon.

"99 bottles of coke on the wall!" I said smiling.

"Don't.even.dare," Aurora said, "You're lucky your stupid ass idea worked, or else I would murder you for even thinking about singing the song.
