Chapter 3
Neil watched as the sun began to rise. The new sun was shining, and a new day was beginning. "Oh, what a beautiful day, eh Neil?" he asked himself. Taking out his little pocket mirror, he watched as his reflection smile back at him. "Oh yeah baby!" he whispered laughing. "Your the hottest guy on this planet! And who's the hottest girl?" In his mind, he thought of either Theresa or Atlanta. "Their both hot.." Neil thought. "But who can I have...? Or, maybe I can have both!" a vision of himself with Theresa and Atlanta side by side giggling. "Don't worry babes, Neil is here for you!!"
Archie burst into Neil's room. "Neil, we tried contacting Jay to see what's up. But his walkie-talkie. Jay never leaves his walkie-talked off. So is Theresa's. Mind coming with me to check out on them both? The others are busy." Archie asked him. If only Atlanta wanted to come with me... Archie shook the thought out of his mind. "Well...?"
Neil nodded. "Fine fine. But after, I need the photographer to take pictures of me. She's new and hot." he laughed.
Archie strangely nodded. "Right...lets go already." he said and headed out of the room, with Neil following behind him.
Jay carefully eyed Cronus. He couldn't get anywhere near Theresa, because he had to pass Cronus and wake up Theresa. But how can he get Cronus to be paying attention to something else?
"Ahh, Jay.. Why don't you join me, and we can rule this universe together?" he offered Jay. This wasn't his first attempt to offer Jay to work with him. But, Jay had always refused. "Then, you can get rid of those Greek gods and everything will be perfect?" Cronus laughed. "You know you want to join me..."
Jay angrily shook his head. "Leave and abandon everything that cares most to me? Rule with someone so heartless like you? Never!" he cried and reached for his xiphos. He charged towards Cronus with rage. "Never will I ever want to join to the likes of you!" he shouted and hit Cronus with his xiphos.
Cronus took out his scythes and blocked the hit. "You were always so worthless Jay..." he laughed. "Just like Jason, no?" he added and his eyes turned red. Eyes full of anger and grudges. "But, if you think your going to win to me, think again Jay!" he cried and duplicated himself of among 3 others.
Four Cronus'? Against me? Now thats just unfair! Jay thought. But I'll just might as well give it the best I got! Running and taking out his xiphos towards on from the left, he hit the Cronus clone through the chest, and he poofed into the air. Turning around, another "Cronus" leaped behind him and was ready to attack Jay. But Jay was faster, and dodged the Cronus. He jumped up into the air and stabbed him with his xiphos. The Cronus disappeared, only a clone one. 2 Cronus' gone, 2 more to go... Jay thought and faced the two remaining Cronus'. Which one was the real one?
It was quite hard to tell. But something was bugging him about the right one. He didn't seem to have the same smirk and rage in his eyes like the left one. "Hahaha Jay. Always knew you were foolish." The two Cronus' said at the same time. Looking back and forth at each Cronus, he leaped into the air and stabbed the right one against his chest, Smoke poofed, and Jay quickly turned around to the left Cronus. "So its you, eh?" he smirked and charged towards Cronus.
Cronus laughed. In surprise, Jay stopped. Whats he laughing about? Jay wondered, glaring at the madman.
"You should really watch out for yourself Jay. You may never know." Cronus smiled, his eyes glowing red. Jay didn't see any fear in his eyes. Only anger and rage. Really, the only emotions that Cronus really had. Jay eyed him. Why was Cronus just standing there? Wasn't he going to do anything? Try to knock Jay out? Anything?
"What do you mean by that, Cronus?" Jay was usually one of the smart-kind of kids. But he just didn't understand. He never understood what Cronus was thinking.
Cronus laughed and his eyes turned red, and he quickly blasted his ray past Jay's shoulder. Jay made a sudden move and blocked his ray. He got ready to charge towards Cronus, but someone was carrying him. What..?
Jay turned his head around, finding one of Cronus' hunch men was lifting Jay up the air. Jay could move, if he did, the idiot might drop him or throw him into the trees. He couldn't do anything. Jay reached for his xiphos, but dropped it. Oops, idiotic move. The giant dropped Jay, slamming him on the dirt. Jay's head hurt, and his ankle seemed to be twisted.
The giant walked towards Theresa, lifting her and carrying her towards Cronus. "Don't you dare touch her!" Jay cried, struggling to stand up, but his ankle was sore.
Cronus laughed. "Jay, losing to a giant. Pathetic. Usually, I would just kill you know, but I'll pity you, and keep you alive. But, you need to fight me with all your strength, if you want your precious girlfriend back. Bring your weakling friends, and fight me. I was expecting more from you, Jason. Guess I'm right, humans are weaklings after all!" he chuckled to himself.
Jay angrily turned bright red. "I can fight you any day. Besides, you can't kill me! Its the Prophecy that 7 Greek heroes will defeat you. You already tried to take Neil away! But, we have full forces."
Cronus smiled. "7 heroes? I think you've just been short one."
"What?' Jay asked, confused. What did he mean, by only 6 heroes?
"Lets go," Cronus said, to the giant, that still had Theresa over his shoulder. She was still breathing, she just looked as though she was knocked out. They both smiled, and the giant smirked. "Wait! Where are you going with Theresa?" Jay demanded at Cronus. "You'll see." Cronus said, facing him. He opened a portal, and they both walked inside. The second giant, stood up and stepped inside. "Wait! Theresa! What are you doing with her! Where are you going!" he shouted.
Cronus' body disappeared, but he managed to say something before he was off. "You'll see." Cronus said, and laughed. His laughs echoed in Jay's head, as the portal disappeared, leaving Jay sore and hurt on the ground.
"Archie, stop running! I'm tired, and I want some rest!" Neil moaned. Archie and Neil had been running around the park for the last half an hour, looking for Jay and Theresa, "Stop Archie. I'm so tired. Just take a break at least!" he cried, sitting down on a bench. His face was bright red, and he was sweaty. Two dark-haired girls walked by him, smiling and giggling. "Hey ladies. Care to sit next to me?" Neil flashed a smile.
Archie turned back, groaned and grabbed Neil's t-shirt. "Dude, were not here for you to score a day with chicks, Jay and Theresa are missing, and their not answering their walkie-talkie or cell phone. Now, are you going to follow me, or not?" he asked.
Neil sighed. "Fine," he stood up, and they both decided to head into the right, where the jogging path was. Jay and Theresa usually enjoyed jogging by the path. They took a look around. "Hey! Look what I found!" Archie said, holding up a smashed walkie-talkie. "It's Jay's walkie-talkie! He never leaves it anywhere."
Neil took a close look at the walkie-talkie. "Its broken alright. It probably means that he's near-by. You can find him, I can think for you!" he smiled.
Archie snorted, "Let's just get this over with, already. The faster we look, we'll find Jay and Theresa."
"I think, this might explain everything." Neil said to Archie, showing him a piece of cloth. "What is that supposed to be?' Archie asked. It was a shiny piece of fabric, probably from a very expensive suit or something, but something red was glowing on it.
"Why is it glowing? Its like some red glowy cloth. Maybe I should wear it for Halloween. Borrow a costume from Cronus, perhaps?" he joked.
Archie examined the piece of fabric. Something smelled and looked familiar about it...
"CRONUS!" Archie cried.
"What?" Neil looked confused. "Cronus must have been here, and was after both Jay and Theresa. He must have kidnapped them or something, to try to make them talk. No wonder." Archie explained, "We must tell the others before he could get any of them!"
Neil nodded. "Right! Let's hurry up and tell 'em first!"
Both of them, rushed into the right direction, through the trees."Wait! I see something up ahead!" Archie called. They rushed in closer, finding a human body on the ground.
"Who is that?" Neil asked?" Both Archie and Neil walked over to the male, and turned his head around to take a closer look at him. The body was Jay! "JAY!" Neil and Archie cried. They helped him up, putting his arms over their shoulders. "Is he still alive?" Neil asked Archie. "Of course he's alive. He's just been knocked out. Where's Theresa?" Archie said, looking around. Theresa was nowhere in sight.
Jay opened his eyes a bit, breathing heavily. "Theresa..C-..Cronus...G-gone..." he whispered, slowly. "Theresa...G-gone..." Jay collasped, when he mentioned Theresa's name.
"Jay! Jay! Wake-up! Jay! Are you OK?" Archie and Neil's cries echoed.
Author's note
I'm such a bad fanfiction author! I should have updated daily, but I'm just too busy these days. Homework, tests, my real life happenings... I just had a math test recently (failed probably) piles of homework.. and a Science test next week, and I can't remember a thing about those continental plates or boundaries.
I've tryed to update as quickly as possible, but never had the time. I've even almost forgot I had a fanfiction account!
But, finally after months, I've updated. I am so sorry, and I hope you still read this story.
Too me, the Archie finding a piece of cloth from Cronus' suit was a bit weird for me, but I couldn't find anything else to use! Sorry, if its just too weird for you.
Anyways, I'll see you in the 4th chapter! If I know what to write in the fourth chapter that is. I'm not the kind of person that sorts all their stories out at every inch. I already know the ending, but I just don't how to get there, lol.
Clumsy me
