Zeus: The Lightning Kid

Zeus: A Love Story

"We'll figure it out.."
"You better hope so...!
The tension in the room escalates.
"Well maybe if we say a lightning bolt hit it the insurance will cover it."
"A lightning bolt in ninety degree weather all the way out in $&@!$? Arizona...?!"
"Hey.. aren't you supposed to be the pope or somethin?"
"Because it shore don't seem that way by the way your cussin'.
"Even the pope gets mad sometimes, kid. Especially when they're with doofuses like you."
Pope Gregory's badge glistens from the sunlight that came through his now non-existent ceiling.
Zeus sits up and grabs a Budweiser out of Pope Gregory's mini-fridge.
"$&@! it."
Greg leans over, opens the fridge, grabs one out and knocks it into Zeus's.
"Cheers kid."

—-ErRoR cOdE 757—-

New scene: Cloudy. Cold. An open field, two kings, both containing royal blood.

"And why do you ever think you can challenge me Raven?"
...
"You only have one kempo, and it's a $&@! one."
...
"I can control the fire, the wind, the water. Kneel before me and die an honorable death by sacrificing your Earth kempo to me..!
...
Raven smacks the ground, the dirt flies up into the air like a tornado. Raven jumps into the newly found hole and is propelled by the dirt. With one giant leap he springs from under where the mysterious man is.

...?!?!

"Foolish kid. You can't even get past my level 1 defenses."
An impenetrable wall of water separates the two.
The camera moves back.
The sun is just coming out.
There's Raven, taller than the average guy. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Looks like a hipster, or maybe that's just because he has a baby face.
Then there's the mystery man. Red plated armor with spikes coming off of it. He has a sword with three different colors on the handle: Blue, white and red. He's definitely not smiling, and I'm pretty certain he means business.
"KRILL.. WILL.. END YOU..!"
The mysterious man holds up his blade, it's long, $30 footlong long.

..?!

"Not so fast, Krill."
The embodiment of sex appeal appears. 5'4, leggings, a lace crop top.
Her heels click off the broken rocks and her red candy apple lipstick feels smug on her lips.
"Oh, the basic $&@!? has arrived.."
Within two seconds at most, Katie turns on rubber mode and throws her arm at Krill.
Then she grabbed her own arm mid-flight and flies through the air, kicking Krill in his teeth.
Krill retaliates, using his mouth as a flamethrower, this hits Katie directly in the face.

...?!

"Elemental Kempos don't affect me, you jerk. Looks like your a tad bit out of luck.."

Katie uses her stretchy body as rope and ties herself around Krill fifty or sixty times.
"Is that tight enough for you?"
She goes another five times just to be feisty. Then she ties a knot on him.
"Did you get those yoga pants on sale?" Raven says.
"..........."
"Because at my house their 100% off."
"... IDIOOOOOOT..!!"
Katie smacks Raven across the face.
Raven scratches his back and blushes.
"Ok smart&$@, since you want to be Mr. Charisma how about you take care of Krill for me."
"Oh.. uh.. sure, I guess."
Raven places his hand on Krill and focuses deeply.
"Kill me, I would love to prey in the afterlife."
A thin but small lightning bolt pierces Krill in the head, blood splatters everywhere.

Three kempo elements are seen coming out of Krill's body: water, fire and air.

..?!

They fly into Katie's body.
"Hey! Why didn't I get those kempos..??"
"I did the killing blow, somehow.. I guess."
Katie turns off rubber mode.
Katie walks up to Raven slowly.
The tension builds in the air.
Her high heels click against the rocks and her perfume enters Raven's nose.
".. Yes..?"
".. Thanks Raven.. W.. We both could have died there if you didn't kill him. My rubber mode was about to run out.."
"O.. Oh.. No problem.."
Katie leans in to give Raven a kiss.
On the lips.
The camera zooms in on their faces.
That moment felt like forever.
Raven thinks to himself,
"A.. Am I in love..?"
The screen fades to black.
