King Arthur and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters

Arthur Releases The Kraken

"Insult his honor.. what a load of crap.." 

Annabeth had been muttering to herself for a while now as we sped down towards the coast, and into a nearby river.. 

"Percy.. " I muttered "What are our coordinates..?"

Percy gave me a perfect rendition, giving me the exact longitude and latitude of our position on the sea.

Yeah, thing about being the son of Poseidon. Percy had perfect bearings at sea, it was amazingly cool, and would be useful when trying to find Polyphemus's island, but before we headed out to open water, we needed to pack up on a little more supplies than just what Hermes gave us.. we could see a town nearby, so we thought we'd try there.

After we made it to the grassy muddy shores of a nearby swamp, we trudged ashore, all of us exhausted. 

"Okay.." I muttered after we got a fire going, and sat on logs around the flames as the sky began to darken. "We need to find our way to town.. one of us can go ahead, buy a bit of supplies.. maybe some fishing gear would be smart too.. "

"Mmmf... yeah.. we need food." said Tyson as he stuffed a bunch of donuts in his mouth. "Mmff.. "

"Yeah what Tyson sai... eh.." I stared at Tyson. "Ummm.. Tyson?"

"Yeah?" said Tyson, gobbling another handful of donuts.

"Where did you get those donuts?"

"Monster Donut Shop.. just further in forest. " said Tyson. 

A little later, we were all peeking out of the bushes at the large Monster Donut shop down the street..

The lights were on in the store, with an empty parking lot. The sign " Monster Donut" could be seen on top, with a large cartoon ogre taking a bite out of the O..

"This is not good." said Annabeth.

"Not good?" said Percy. "Come on.. it's a chain, we have them in New York."

"That's just the point!" stammered Annabeth. "You know how chains sometimes just pop out of nowhere.. like one moment there's nothing, then all of sudden, BOOM Mcdonalds just turned up.. well some of these chains are linked to the life force of monsters.. it's how they.. they.."

Annabeth stared at me..

"Wha..?" I said through a muffled mouth filled with powdery goodness, an armful of donut boxes in my hands. 

"Did... you go in and buy some already!?" Annabeth stammered.

"... maybe.." I said, gulping down the donut hoard. 

"Oh my gosh! When you get food, you become dumber than Mordred.. no offense.."

"No offense for what?" said Mordred as she opened a box of jelly donuts she just bought.

"OKAY! EVERYONE JUST STOP BUYING DONUTS FROM THAT STORE!!" Annabeth roared. 

"Uhhh... oops." said Percy, holding up his paper bag of mini powdered donut holes. 

"Listen!! this is really bad!! Some sons of Hermes figured out how to do this years ago.. they excel in breeding.. "

Annabeth froze... I soon saw why.. 

A massive Hydra was slithering out into the parking lot. Ginormous monster snake with 7 heads total..  aside from it's yellow lamp-like eyes, armored scales, and vicious looking fangs, each head had on a bib that said "I'm a Monster Donut Kid" 

"I don't know whether to laugh or edge away in revulsion.." I muttered. 

"No.. sudden.. moves.." whispered Annabeth. "Trust me.. we don't want this guy noticing us.."
