Ch 4: Tyson Wants Big Boom
Disclaimer: Hello, I'd like to talk to your today about the fact that *laughs softly* I own absolutely none of this. NONE! *Laughs like a maniac*
"PERCY!" Tyson yelled while pulling Percy into a bone crushing hug.
"Tyson?! Can't. Breathe."
"Oh, sorry. I got a job here. Daddy said I do good in world. Get good job. Also," he added quietly, "He said I could help you with mission." He grinned from ear to ear. "Just like old times! Is Annabeth here?" He asked eagerly.
"Yeah, I'll get her real quick, just wait here." Percy told him still trying to catch his breath. He ran to get Annabeth.
"No running in the shop," Jamie reminded him.
"Wisegirl! Peanut butter's here!" Annabeth ran threw the shop to get to Tyson.
"I just told you not to run in the shop."
"Sorry!" Annabeth called over her shoulder right before she ran into Tyson and gave him a big hug.
"YAY! Annabeth!" Tyson said as he gave her a bone crushing hug.
"Tyson. Stop. Can't. Breathe." Annabeth laughed as he mumbled a river of apologizes.
"Why do you and Percy have no eyebrows?"
"Taco bomb," Annabeth said sullenly. It had been only since the incident, and no one's eyebrows had grown back.
"That wasn't very smart." Tyson said confused.
"Trust me too long of a story to explain," Annabeth said laughing at his confused expression.
"Does it involve time travel, wizards, and a taco?" Tyson asked eagerly.
"No, yes, what?! It involves a taco but no time travel and wizards." Percy said confused.
"Aww…" Tyson said disappointedly. "I love a good time travel, wizard, and taco story…"
"I see you already know my newest minion- I mean employee, Tyson Sea." Jamie said.
"Yes, Tyson is my half-brother." Percy said while laughing. Could this get any stranger? Oh, crap… I jinxed it!
"Well, get back to work. Percy you can show Tyson around, and Annabeth you can go back to whatever it was that you were doing before." Jamie commanded before he walked away.
"Jamie is man who hired me. He smells like you." Tyson said while looking at him with his huge calf brown eye.
"Hmm, we'll have to monitor them more carefully. Come on, Tyson! We have a workshop to see!" Percy said happily.
"YAY! Building things then blowing them up!" They skipped down the workshop, until Jamie yelled at them, again.
Annabeth just sighed and walked back to her desk. She chatted with some of the other interns, and then the phone rang.
"M-5 industries, Annabeth speaking. How may I help you?" Annabeth said with actual cheeriness.
"This is Grant," said a raspy voice. "I'm sick and the doctor said it would be about a week before I would be able to get off of the couch. Can you tell the build team for me?"
"Sure, hope you feel better soon. Bye," Annabeth hung up and Jess walked into the room. "Grant won't be in." She said before Jess could ask where he was.
"Oh, ok… Well, we need the robot finished and Jamie and Adam are busy. Do you know anyone else that can help?"
"I know the new guy could help. If you need anything, and I mean anything from an animatronic dinosaur that is an inch tall and can destroy the world to a mechanical watch that can turn into a shield, he'll find a way." Annabeth said grinning. Idiot! You just mentioned Percy's watch! Great job, maybe you're not as smart as you think you are! The last line was a quote that could never quite get out of my head, Luke/Coronus had shouted at me right as he was about to kill me. That made me go berserk and injure him enough for Percy to finish him off.
It was the perfect opportunity for Tyson to get close to Tory and Kari and see if they smell like demigods. Too bad Grant was out sick.
Tyson ended up being a sort of guest host. He mainly was just shot building the robot, but he got to stay for the unveiling too.
"So are we ready to test the coin tossing myth?" Tory asked excitedly.
"Calm down. Why do we need a robot again?" Kari asked.
"To make sure there is no human element involved. Also, Grant wanted another robot to add to his collection. Unfortunately, Grant is not here do we had to have resident mechanical genius Tyson put it together." Tory said while bouncing up and down.
"No more sugar for you, and no we can't turn it into a flicking machine and attack innocent bystanders after we're done testing." Kari said sternly.
"Awwww…" Tory said disappointedly.
"And… Cut!" Mike the camera guy told them. "Let's go set up."
"Hey, Percy! Tyson! Get the robot to parking lot C," One of their supervisors commanded, enjoying their superiority.
"Percy, Tory and Kari smell like some people at camp." Tyson said seriously in Greek, while moving the robot with grace and ease.
"It's either a coincidence, or they have the most luck in the entire Greek civilization." Percy replied while taking the remotes.
Tory managed to trip over his feet, fall on Kari, who fell on Mike the camera guy, who snagged his head on the door. "Hey! I found a $100 dollars!" Tory yelled while waving a Benjamin in the air.
"That's great, now GET OFF OF ME!" Mike and Kari yelled at the same time.
"I said luck, not grace." Percy said before Tyson could elaborate on it.
After they set up and conduct the experiment…
"And… Cut," Mike the camera guy said. "Well, now I know I should pick heads in a coin toss. I feel like something's missing though."
"Yeah, I know there is no way we could incorporate explosions with the myth, but… It's just not the same." Kari said agreeing with Mike the camera guy.
"I know we can do!" Tory started jumping up and down.
"I was serious when I said you couldn't build a flicking machine and harass people," Kari shot Tory a warning death glare.
"Oh…" Tory stopped jumping.
"I have an idea," Tyson said in his Tysonesk way.
"Oh, no… Please, don't let it repeat of the driving test incident!" Percy was on his knees (literally) begging.
"No, much better, much much better." Tyson said with a crooked evil grin. He left his peanut butter and tuna fish sandwich on his tool box.
Percy jumped behind an empty oil barrel. "He left his peanut butter and tuna fish sandwich behind uneaten, this cannot be good…" Percy warned while rocking back and forth.
"I can make the machine juggle fire booms." Tyson said happily, completely oblivious to Percy's fear.
"Fire booms?" Tory and Kari asked together.
"That's what he calls his improved version of bottle rockets," Percy informed them from behind the barrel.
"Are they legal?" Kari asked nervously.
"I um… Maybe… No… Yes? Actually, the police have never found them…" Tyson said thinking hard.
"So, no one knows about them."
"Yes, no one knows. No one is hiding behind that barrel. Percy, they know about your other name!" Tyson said confused that they knew Percy that well, and that everyone was as confused as he was.
Percy slapped his forehead. "Tyson, they mean people other than you, Annabeth, Grover, Bob, and me."
"Oh, yes no one knows." Tyson said while shaking his head to get out his confusion.
"We'll then I guess its okay. Percy does it meet the legal requirements?" Kari asked while Tory jumped up and down and ran in small circles.
"I don't know… Ask Annabeth, she's better with knowing laws and stuff," Percy said, he started shaking. He had lived through, fighting off Luke/Coronus, being shot out of a volcano, and facing the wrath of a very angry Annabeth, but Tyson's fire booms scared him pass death.
Everyone except for Tyson and Percy went to look for Annabeth. Tyson laughed evilly.
"Hey, Annabeth. Are Tyson's fire booms legal?" Mike the camera guy asked bluntly.
"Wow… You're a lot blunter than Mike the camera man." Annabeth said distracted.
"Yeah, that's why I'm guy and he's man." He's also getting distracted. "But, that's not the point. Are they legal or not?"
"What could or could not be legal?"
"TYSON'S FIRE BOOMS! FOR GOD'S SAKE ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Tory yelled, getting impatient.
"Yes, but-" Tory ran off before Annabeth could finish.
"But, what?" Kari asked getting worried after seeing both of their reactions.
"They are absolutely terrifying!" Annabeth shivered from memories. "The noise, the fire! Not to mention the terrifying password of DOOM! Doooom!" Annabeth started rocking back and forth on the floor while mumbling in Greek.
"Ok…" Kari ran out of the room.
"No running in the shop!"
"Sorry, interns going insane! Must, escape!" Kari yelled as she ran past Adam.
"I knew it was only a matter of time…" Adam muttered to himself. "It always happens after they lose some hair…"
Kari managed not to get back in time to stop them from firing off the fire booms. "NOOO-!"
"TYSON WANTS BIG BOOM!" Tyson yelled the activation code really loud.
"Voice activation confirmed." A computer animated voice said from the high tech rockets the machine tossed 2 up in the air.
"3, 2, 1…" Then, everyone realized that it would have been a really good idea to put up blast shields or moved to a bomb shelter. Also, they should have moved away from San Francisco.
The explosion was extremely colorful, but the noise was enough to make you want to claw your ears off. This was what a lot of San Franciscans tried to do just then.
Even Grant, who was at home working on a robot, started banging his head against the wall. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE?!" His mothered called down to the basement.
"IT'S NOT ME 'MA!"
Once it was over, an intern started crying. "How can something so beautiful, be so awful?!"
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ATOMS WAS THAT?!" Jamie screamed.
"I warned you it was not a good idea…" Percy whimpered from behind the barrel.
"T-Ty-Tyson's fire boom," Tory stuttered nervously at Jamie beet red face.
"Tyson! How the ад is something like that legal?!" Jamie screamed partially in Russian.
"WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU?!" Tyson yelled and pointed towards earplugs in his ears. "HOW AM I SUSPOSE TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A FISH TACO?! GO ASK ANNABETH! Weird question…" Tyson muttered to himself, which really was at normal volume.
Jamie marched over to him, pulled out his earplugs, and screamed, "YOU'RE FIRED!" Then, he marched back to his workshop.
Tyson's eye got really big and everyone just froze. "Wow…" Tory said quietly. "I always knew he had issues with noises and he had legal stuff, but he wasn't this mad when I accidentally burnt down shops a-n."
Percy got Annabeth and some peanut butter; they comforted him while he cried. Everyone else cleaned up in silence thinking their own thoughts.
Percy's thoughts were, Man that was scary and loud. However, it wasn't as scary as Jamie.
Annabeth's were, oh… Poor Tyson. However, I think it might be easier, because then he won't attract as many monsters even if they tend to stay away from the shop. And, he won't be as likely to set the shop on fire and burn us all to Hades. Excuse my Greek… Oh wait, I'm only talking to myself. Oops…
Tyson's thoughts were confused and jumbled together, but it was basically, oh crap! I let Percy, Dad, and Annabeth down! Mmmm… Peanut butter! I'm fired… What does that mean? Over and over again.
Tory's were, that was so cool! And dangerous!!! I wonder where Kari and I will go on our date tonight. We went to the bomb range last week… Maybe we should grab some tacos…
Kari's were, owww… My ears are still ringing. That peanut butter looks good… I wonder what a peanut butter vegetarian taco tastes like… Mmmm…
Mike the camera guy was thinking, I wonder what everyone is thinking. I wonder when the other Mike will come back… I wonder too much… He sighed sadly.
Finally, Adam was singing and thinking. "TACO! BURRITO! What's coming out of your Speedo?! You've got-" He happened to be singing this while eating a taco and wearing a Speedo.
"What in the name of DNA are you doing Adam?!" Adam's wife came in to bring him to the community pool.
"Ummm… Singing the Taco Burrito song and dance…" Adam said guiltily.
"That camp had a big affect on you when you were a kid didn't it…" She said while shaking her head.
"Yep!" Adam said while hopping on his unicycle and rode towards the car. Mrs. Savage just sighed.

Me- Thank you all who reviewed. Lots of crazy stuff have been going on, this took around 4 hours to type, plus all the hours it took to write on paper. Yeah, lots of science experiments have been conducted recently. Don't worry no one ended up dead. However, I don't recommend building a Rube Goldberg; you'll end u yelling at inanimate objects, especially if it is homemade. Also, diet coke and mentos only works if it is in a 2 liter bottle and 4 mentos are added, do not attempt with a can and one mento.
Vampire- Excuses, excuses. Write the next chapter!
Me- How about I tell you the name and then I can stop typing because I have school tomorrow and soon I won't be able to move my hands.
Vampire- Whatever… Tell! Before I bite you!
Me- Unexpected Guests! They're very unexpected guests.
Tyson- Goodbye… For now! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! *disappears in a puff of smoke*
Vampire- I never knew Tyson could be evil…
Me- Still not as evil as us.
Vampire- Yes, you are correct.
Me- Whoever can tell me which comic the (slightly modified) joke about time travel and wizards is from gets another chapter title and which one it is.
Vampire- I highly doubt that anyone here reads web comics.
Me- Their loss.
Vampire- Review… Or die! A horrible fiery death from my fist Mr. Happy!
Me- She's not kidding.
