Copyright info: I don't own anything in this chapter except the plotline.

Thank you to all who reviewed and added me to their alert list! :D After reading the reviews, I realized I did make some mistakes. XD Alright here's an explanation for the earthquakes: Um Zeus's thunder are so powerful they cause the ground to crack which reverberates and creates a powerful earthquake. A much more simple explanation is that Zeus is so awesome he can create earthquakes. And yes I totally forgot that Percy is invincible but at least we had some girl power back there. Oh and Carter and Sadie could've contracted Amos by phone or something. Anyways on to the story! Sorry for the long note.


Chapter Two

War Declared


The room was silent as the Olympian gods anxiously waited for Zeus to speak. Zeus just sat silently on his throne chair without saying a word. They could faintly hear thunder rumbling outside.

"Um...dad?" Apollo said nervously.

"Where's Hades?" Zeus roared. "Hermes!"

Hermes winced. "Oh oops. I totally forgot to tell him. Hehe."

Zeus glared at him and the messenger god shrank in fear. "GO GET HIM!"

Hermes disappeared immediately and the room relapsed into an awkward silence. No one dared spoke or listen to music on their i-pods.

A few moments passed. Zeus began to fidget.

"What's taking him so long!" Zeus thundered. Literally.

The gods began to worry. They were going to be punished if Hermes didn't hurry back. Then, Athena had an idea.

"Your favorite drama show House is on," Athena informed him. Zeus lightened up a bit.

"Oh. We should watch some while we wait for Hermes," Zeus said brightly but he was still clearly angry.

Zeus snapped his fingers and a huge TV dramatically appeared in midair with electricity sizzling on the edges. So while the gods waited for Hermes and Hades to appear they watched a few episodes of House.

Zeus enjoyed the show firmly but some of the gods didn't agree. Finally Artemis cracked.

"I can't take this anymore," Artemis whispered to Aphrodite. "They show women in sexist ways. Why do the women keep on getting punished?"

"You don't like it?" Aphrodite whispered back slightly shocked. "I love it!"

"Quit your gossiping!" the queen of the heavens snapped. She was on edge lately due to an obvious reason.

They silenced up. After a few more minutes, Ares groaned out-loud.

"Let's watch something else!" Ares said. "Something bloody and violent like I don't know! Saw!"

"No," Poseidon said. "Let's watch something else that has to do with the sea. Maybe Pirates of the Caribbean."

The gods began to argue over what they should watch.

"I want to watch Twilight!" Aphrodite demanded lovingly.

Zeus growled. "Shut your trap. I can't hear what they're saying."

The gods quieted down because Zeus was already blistering mad and they didn't want to annoy him further. It was complete torture for some of them.

During the last few minutes of episode twenty-four, Hades and Hermes appeared via godly teleportation.

"Move!" Zeus exclaimed when they came. "I can't see the TV!"

Hades looked behind him at the TV. "I can see that your taste in TV shows are the same...as your taste in manners and clothes."

"What was that?" Zeus asked him threateningly.

"I brought him as you wanted," Hermes interrupted.

Zeus grumbled. "Alright. Let's get the meeting started."

He clapped his hands and the TV disappeared in a flashy way. Poseidon muttered under his breath "Dramatic as always." He was lucky Zeus couldn't hear.

"I presume that you are all familiar with Horus. That Egyptian...god." Zeus spatted out the last word as if he despised using it in the same sentence as Horus.

The gods nodded in reply.

"He did something inexcusable. Something I would rather not say because the thought of it makes my blood boil," Zeus fumed.

The gods hesitatingly glanced at each other. None of them dared asked Zeus what Horus did. Knowing how wars started the Olympian way, it was probably something stupid.

"We are going to war," Zeus concluded.

Most of the gods groaned inwardly. Ares pumped his fist in the air.

"That's what I'm talking about!" he said excitedly. "I'll get the weapons ready!"

"I believe that is my job," Hephaestus said dangerously low.

"But my weapons are way better than yours!" Ares declared.

"My cereal is best," Demeter added. "All problems can be solve with...cereal."

And so that is how another argument broke out. Zeus nodded in agreement at everything. He was already plotting Horus's demise. In his mind, Horus was already in the palm of his hands and being tortured.


At Camp Half-blood, everyone was sword fighting. Swords were almost all they thought about lately.

"Do you think that someone stole his thunderbolt again?" Percy asked as he disarmed Annabeth.

"I high doubt that," Annabeth said getting out a knife. She dodged a blow from Percy's Riptide.

Percy frowned. "I wonder-"

"Everyone close your eyes!" Chiron suddenly shouted. The demigods obeyed him without any further thought.

When they opened they eyes, they saw an extremely disturbed Dionysus.

"We just had a war against the Titans," Dionysus grumbled. "But now we're having another one? This is just great."

"We're going to war?" a boy gasped. Because whenever the gods went to war, the demigods were involved one way or another.

"Again?" Clarisse said. "Hm on second thought this might be fun."

"True that," another boy from the Ares cabin said.

"Who are we up against?" Chiron inquired worryingly.

"The Egyptians," Dionysus simply stated.


"The thunderstorm is getting worse," Carter said.

"Good thing we have magic protecting this house huh?" Sadie said.

"Yeah." Carter's eyebrows furrowed. "Anubis?"

Sadie shrieked and dropped off the couch. "Wha?"

"Hi," Anubis greeted. "You guys look well."

"What are you doing here mister?" Sadie said regaining her composure. She pointed accusingly at him. "Next time give me a warning or something when you just pop in!"

Anubis tilted his head. "I thought you wanted to see me more often."

Sadie blushed.

"Why are you here?" Carter asked getting to the main point. "Did something happen to Amos?"

"No," Anubis answered. "I need you to come with me. Ra, well technically Horus, and the rest of the gods want to see you."

"What about the other hosts?"

"You can tell them later. This is urgent." Anubis motioned towards a black door that materialized out of nowhere.

The two young magicians stepped forward and instantly came to the throne room of Ra.

Ra smiled at the magicians. "Cookies."

Horus stepped forward respectively. "Hello, Sadie...and Carter. Nice to see you."

Carter sighed. He guess that Horus still didn't forgive him for resurrecting Ra.

Iris stared at Sadie. "We have...sad news to bear. We are going to war."

Sadie stopped staring at Anubis and looked back at the goddess with wings. "Apophis has risen?"

"No," Thoth said. "This has nothing to do with that. No. We are at war because a certain someone has angered Zeus."

"Hey," Horus exclaimed. "It wasn't all my fault! You were there!"

"Wait hold on," Carter butted in. "Isn't Zeus a fictional god found in just Greek mythology?"

"I wish," Horus replied curtly. "Nope. He is completely real and alive and he wants to kill me. Of course I can't be killed because I'm awesome, but he's still attempting to murder me. Which makes me slightly offended. He thinks he's better than me. Well I'll show him!"

Sadie glanced at her brother. "Amos did mention something once about other gods."

Carter thoughtfully looked up. "Hm yeah I think he did." Carter turned his head towards Horus. "What does that got to do with us?"

Horus and most of the gods in the room grinned evilly.

How do I get myself into these situations, Sadie thought wistfully.


A/N: That's it for chapter two! It was a bit of a filler chapter. You'll find out what Horus did eventually if you're curious. Feel free to point out any mistakes I make. :) I would appreciate it.
