(Sonic's POV)
So this is my new life; living with the demigods on the island that my uncle made way before we were born. I got my cabin and the technology I needed to keep me sane. Living without Netflix or internet would be very useless.
As for Scourge, he's still trying to lean to the good side but he's still upset with Tails' mother. Which obviously it's gonna take a long time to get over it.
Amy on the other hand has gotten more close to me than ever. Her love for me is way too strong and I can't help falling for her beauty. But I don't know if her kisses are just to give positive emotions, she sure kisses me a lot. But it could be both; though she has saved my life a few times.
"Hey Sonikku" I heard her call me.
"Heya Ames" I waved to her.
"Tell me. Why didn't you kill Scourge?" She asked.
"Because I couldn't bring myself to kill him after seeing the pain in his face" I said.
"You can understand feelings from a gorgon? No one could understand them" Amy said.
"Yes but honestly it was really harsh by Athena for turning Scourge's family into monsters. Thetis kills anyone saying they are more beautiful than her" I said.
"Yeah, but women are equally beautiful. No one is on top. My mom was once engaged to Hephaestus. But I'm sure you know what happened next" Amy said.
"They broke up" I said.
"Yeah, and had many children with Ares, Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus, and Anchises. My mom can be a pain sometimes but she's the goddess of love" Amy said.
"Yep. But enough about that. Shall we go somewhere?" I asked.
"Well, I'm just gonna communicate with my mom's avatar statue. Perhaps you should see how Scourge is doing. Just make sure he doesn't accidentally turn people into statues" Amy said.
"Very well Ames" I said and ran off.

I went to see Scourge and he was sitting at his old hut.
"Hello there" I greet him.
"Son of Zeus" Scourge said.
"Yes. How are you doing?" I asked him.
"Eh, the usual. I haven't been in my cabin for a year" Scourge said.
"And how do you feel about letting go of the past?" I asked again.
"Feels better. But I never forgive myself" Scourge said.
"Are you still upset with Athena?" I asked.
"A bit. But I see my quill snakes as pets" He pets one of his snakes quills.
"I can see that. They have the same color of your eyes. Me the only one who looked at your eyes directly without getting turned into stone" I said.
"I can do that at will, but hey my face isn't that ugly" Scourge chuckled.
"No, because your mother was once human. You were also human until Circe turned you into a hedgehog. Like me" I said.
"And I was just fine with it" Scourge said.
"How old were you when your mother died?" I asked.
"5 years old. She knew Perseus was coming and she had to hide me to protect me. When she died I was raised by my aunts, Stheno and Euryale. They gave me immortality to avenge my mother. Stheno and Euryale tried to kill Perseus but failed due to his use of Hades' cap, becoming invisible" Scourge explained his story.
"I see. And how exactly did you look like as a human?" I asked.
"I have no sculpture of how I looked. But I was rather slim and looked almost normal save for snake hair and green skin" Scourge said.
"And how old were you when your aunts gave you immortality?" I asked.
"15 years old. As centuries went by my aunts were either killed or just disappeared. I went on my own to hide from any of Zeus' children coming after monsters like me. And then I went to Circe to give me a much better form to blend in among mobians" Scourge said.
"Makes perfect sense. Humans don't have green skin. You didn't want cause attention. So you decided to be part mobian" I said.
"Yes but then many centuries later I came to the camp and then you know happened" Scourge said.
"Yeah, I know. And are you gonna give Silver a second chance? You and he have the same father" I said.
"Maybe I will once everything has settled down" Scourge said.
"And remember, he's your half-brother. And Athena, even if you hate her she's also my half-sister" I said.
"I know that" Scourge said.
"You should talk to Silver. He was shaken up when you went to his mom and stepdad yesterday" I said.
"I don't think he wants to" Scourge said.
"Just try. If you don't, he'll be living in fear for the rest of his life" I said.
"Alright" Scourge gave in and leaves.
(Silver's POV)
I was talking to my father's avatar statue, "Dad, I don't know how long Scourge will reform. I'm just afraid of what he did to my mom and stepdad yesterday"
"Just give him a chance but don't let him near them again" Dad said.
"He's my brother after all and family" I said.
"Half-brother, yes. Just like your half-brother Theseus. Give him time to reform. Just know this, if only I had stopped Athena from doing the unthinkable thing to Medusa, this wouldn't have happened" My father said.
"I know but that was inevitable" I said.
"Well, if it weren't for Medusa's head, Perseus would be killed by that Cetus" I said.
"Speaking of which, Scourge's here" Dad saw Scourge.
"Uh, hi brother and father" Scourge waved.
"Hello there Scourge" I turned and embraced him with a hug.
"Silver about earlier, I'm so sorry" Scourge said.
"I'll talk to you again my son" My father's statue became lifeless again.
"For what?" I asked.
"That I nearly killed your family in Sydney" Scourge said.
"Well, yeah. I was angry at you but now I don't know what I'm feeling when you are nearly reformed" I said.
"I know how it feels. But there are people much worse than me" Scourge said.
"Yeah, like terrorists. No one is perfect on earth, Scourge. They make choices to be good or bad. It's called balance" I said.
"Hmmm. So what can I do to make it up?" Scourge asked.
"Well, perhaps give everyone a chance to see that you have a family. You're a...demigorgon. And all of us are demigods. You and I have the same father. Just as long as you don't turn anyone into stone again. Unless there are very, very, very bad people or mostly monsters like the hydra" I said, hoping that he understands.
"Alright. It's mostly safe if I have the sunglasses on. Though I can turn use the stone stare at will" Scourge said.
"Good. And, um, even if your mom was killed but Perseus used her head to stop that Cetus monster. If it weren't for her, Cetus wouldn't be defeated" I said.
"You're saying her death was not in vain?" He was surprised.
"Maybe. I only heard the story. Gorgons can still turn people into stone. Alive or dead. What would happen if Perseus did not use your mother's head to stop that monster, what would the world be?" I asked him.
"People would die at sea" Scourge said.
"Exactly and the whole people in our present time wouldn't exist if Cetus rules the world" I said.
"Right. So what do you wanna do now?" Scourge changed the subject.
"Well, I'm going to go for a swim in the ocean. Just so I know if you're feeling all right about moving on from the past" I said.
"I'll be fine, though I'll be viewed differently" Scourge said.
"I just hope you don't accidentally turn anyone into statues" I said.
"I won't" Scourge said.
(Sonic's POV)
I was training to do archery with Nebula. Even though my archery is made by lightning bolt.
"Okay Sonic. Firmly hold the arrow" Nebula instructed.
"I am. I just don't wanna miss. And you know my archery weapon is made of lightning" I said.
"You may fire when ready" Nebula said.
"I don't like missing the target" I released my lightning arrow.
And instead of instantly attach to the target it just blew up.
"Well, we don't know if you got it" Nebula said.
"Maybe I shall reduce the power of the bolt" I said.
"You are the son of Zeus. You're the powerful demigod on earth" Nebula said.
"I get it, daughter of Artremis" I took another arrow to target. I fired it and this time it hits the outer ring.
"Hey, my mom can be very sensitive. Like the time she imprisoned Orion into the constellation stars" Nebula said.
"Got it" I used another arrow to fire at the target.
"I'm sure you know why she imprisoned him" Nebula said, shooting her arrow at the target.
"Yes" I nodded.
"Tell me what she did?" Nebula asked.
"Orion slaughtered animals and it made your mom mad?" I guessed.
"Yes, and my mom wanted him banished by the other gods" Nebula said.
"I know the story but I never seen it in real reality" I shot another lightning arrow at the target, "You come from a Peru tribe, right?"
"Yes, and my mortal dad is the chief. I'm more of a citizen person than just a daughter of the chief. I grew up in my village and I loved archery. I didn't know why until I found out that I'm the daughter of Artemis" She said and shot another target.
"I see. So, are you and Shadow just friends or something else?" I asked.
"Uh, well, we both know Spanish but I'm not sure if we are more than just amigos" Nebula blushed.
"I thought so. Amy has been really close and kisses me to calm me down" I said.
"I've seen that she's not into any guys on this island but I never expected that she choose you" Nebula said, shooting her arrow at the middle target.
"She's never been into any guys in her life?" I asked.
"Most of them were boorish and such" Nebula said.
"I wonder why she chose me" I said.
"Because you're different or I dunno" Nebula guessed.
I shot another arrow at the target again, "I admit she is gorgeous and cute but getting kissed by her makes me feel distracted"
"Mmhmm?" Nebula smirked.
"Don't give me that look. It's just I never been kissed by a girl in my life" I said as I turn my archery weapon back to my bolt staff.
"Maybe Amy sees you as a special demigod. At her country, boys were only interested in her beauty, not her personality. Which is why she has the ability to sense those who have love or no love in their hearts. And she turned down those who only want her for her body, not love" Nebula said.
"But when we first met I did not feel love for her. But for a week I felt something that I never felt for her" I said.
"Yes, it's the first sign of love" Nebula said.
"Is that what it really is?" I asked.
"Maybe" Nebula shrugs.
"I'll never understand females being so attracted to males. What do you see in Shadow? He's like a mysterious dark hedgehog creeping in the darkness or something" I said.
"I see him missing something in his heart" Nebula said.
"Does it ever scare you that he looks like his father?" I asked.
"No, because he was raised by his mom as a child. He just doesn't like showing his enthusiasm to anyone. Sometimes he shows kindness but just not every time" Nebula said.
"That's Shadow himself. Anyways, I'll be at the cafeteria. See ya, daughter of Artemis" I said and went to the cafeteria place.
"See you later" Nebula waved.

At the cafeteria place I decided to have cheese pizza for lunch. I haven't had pizza in a month since I was too busy with chili dogs. After getting some drink too I went to Tails' table.
"Son of Zeus" Tails said.
"Do I still have to be called Son of Zeus by everyone?" I rolled my eyes.
"Just kidding. It's Sonic. How can I forget my best friend's name" Tails laughed.
"Good. I knew you were just messing around" I said and sat down.
"So, you really want to meet your dad on Olympus?" Tails asked.
"Well I really wanna see him for real, not as an avatar" I said.
"Only gods and demigods can cross the gates of Olympus. The only access at your home country is Lady Liberty" Tails said.
"You mean the Statue of Liberty?" I said.
"Yes there, you need to get to the torch of it to gain access" Tails said.
"Like a portal entrance of Lady Liberty's torch?" I asked.
"Yes. That's where I met my mother in person at the Big Ben" Tails said.
"How long ago?" I asked.
"Two years ago" Tails said.
"And you haven't told me the entire time?" I gasped.
"Well I forgot to" Tails scratched his neck.
"What did your mother look like?" I asked while having pizza.
"When I first saw her she had the form of a brown mobian vixen with blond hair, but I know she actually looks like a human" Tails said.
"And my father?" I asked.
"I never saw him. I only saw my mother" Tails said.
"Then let's go after lunch" I said.
"Okay" Tails agreed.
"Man, this food is awesome. Where do you guys get these country foods?" I asked, finishing my pizza.
"It's summoned here magically so no theft" Tails said.
"So nobody on this island made the food?" I asked again.
"But the fish we catch ourselves and well some other animals like pigs that are set loose. But our animal lovers do not like hunting" Tails said.
"I only know one person that does not like hunting. Nebula" I said.
"She loves animals. Back in her country her dad loves llamas" Tails said.
"Cool" I replied.
"I know right, they make great costumes out of their fur" Tails said.
"Yeah, but I hope animal fur doesn't count from mobians. My fur is soft and fluffy" I said.
"Heh, my twin tails I use as pillows at times aside from flying or even as extra arms" Tails said.
"I noticed that. And my quills are very spiky from touching it. Anyways, let's head to Lady Liberty's torch" I said, throwing the food tray away.
"Got it" Tails follows me.
I took out my bolt staff to teleport us both to the Statue of Liberty.

As we arrived, we were outside of Liberty's torch. At least we don't have to take the stairs. No one has been up on the torch for years.
"Okay this is it, Sonic" Tails said.
"Man, I never have been on the torch. No one has ever been on the Lady's crown or torch for years" I said.
"Yes since its rebuilding" Tails said. He pokes at one spot on the torch.
"So where is the portal access to Olympus?" I asked.
"Watch" Tails said and he presses it and a portal appeared on the torch, "Into the portal to Mt. Olympus" Tails said, going through the portal.
I followed him and once inside we saw a gate up to the temple of Olympus.
From below it looked like an Ancient Greek city of Olympus for other gods to live at while the temple is a place for my dad.
"I sure hope your mom is here too" I said.
"And your father too" Tails said.
"This place looks different than those Hercules movies" I said.
"Or Clash of the Titans" Tails said.
"Yeah, but those movies aren't real. Anyways, I hope my dad doesn't get upset that we demigods are here" I said.
"How could he?" Tails wondered.
We entered the temple and before our eyes the gods were there. And they were huge like a building. Like damn huge than a dinosaur. They were all in human form. And they had on their Ancient Greek fashion togas.
"Greetings gods. It's me Sonic, Son of Zeus" I greeted them.
Zeus rose up from his chair, "Welcome Sonic, I've been expecting you"
"Hi mom" Tails saw his mother Athena.
"Miles. It's so good to see you again" Athena said.
Zeus got up and shrunk to human size to meet me, "So you wanted to see me in person son?" Zeus asked.
"Yeah, but also in private" I said.
"Meeting adjourned, everyone. Please, leave us" Zeus said to his gods.
"I'll meet you outside, bud" Tails walked outside to go talk to Athena that is also in human size too.
Everyone else left, so it was just me and my father.
"I never expected you had a beard. And muscular tones. In human form" I said to him.
"Thanks son. It's what makes me a god. And I see you have a t-shirt with a lightning bolt symbol" He points at my shirt.
"Well yeah. So everyone can see I'm fast as the lightning" I said.
"Heh, you are something, son. Your mother knew that you were gonna be so special. She prayed for me every year to watch over you to see you grow strong, brave, and mostly heroic like my other sons" My father said.
"I did by defeating Scourge and lots of training. I'm proud of having you as my father" I said.
"Indeed, son. But I saw you didn't kill Scourge. Why didn't you, son?" My father asked.
"Because I saw all the pain and suffering he's been through" I said.
"I heard about them. Scourge may have killed Sally and her close friends but his sins have been forgiven by them, he needs a chance to prove himself" Dad said.
"Yeah, and hopefully he moves on from the past. But still, what Athena did was very harsh. I don't know how long Scourge will remain upset with her" I said.
"We'll see. Wanna see around Olympus?" Father suggested.
"Sure, I'd love to see around" I agreed.
"You think Olympus is like that kids' movie Hercules?" My dad asked.
"Nah, just like it's been imagined. But it's great to see the decorations of Ancient Greek you guys made" I said.
"Your mother would love to see this place if mortals were allowed in" Father said.
"But they can't cross the gates to the god realm. Only gods and demigods can. Yeah, I really wish Mom can see this. But are you okay if she moves on to someone else?" I asked.
"As long as she's happy. But I'm proud having you as a son" Father said.
"The only demigod mobian son, yes" I said, looking at the view of Olympus city.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Father asked patting my shoulder.
"Yeah, it's just like ancient city. I have never seen it so real in my life. Your sons and daughters live there?" I asked.
"Some do and others sometimes" Father said.
"I see. And I'm the youngest half-brother and half-uncle around here" I said.
"Yes but your friends down there are like real friends to you than just nieces or nephews" Dad said.
"Especially my best friend Tails" I said.
"To your friends I'm like a grandfather to them. But to your cousins I'm their uncle" Dad said.
"Yep. And dad, is it true you turned into a hedgehog when you met mom?" I asked.
"Yes until I revealed myself" He said.
"Okay. But that doesn't mean every god can shapeshift" I asked.
"No, only gods can shapeshift into human or mobian. We come down to earth and...well...hook up with mortals. Sometimes we fall in love but we had to leave earth because we can't stay on earth forever or we become mortal. Without gods on Olympus, the balance would become unstable. I control thunder, Poseidon controls the seas, and Hades controls the dead" Dad said.
"Dad, I know you made a lot of affairs with mortal women and had kids but don't you think it's too much? Single moms would feel hurt if they had to raise kids on their own" I said.
"Well I do feel bad for them, such as Perseus mom was almost killed with him due to my affair with her, her husband was enraged when he found out" Father said.
"I read the story at my school. You're the only god who has hundreds of children. But here in the 21st century I'm your only mobian son" I said.
"Yes. It's been for thousands of years since me and my people stopped coming to earth to make more children. But Greek monsters have been around for too long I had to find another mortal woman. Hook up, yes, so that my child could carry on to being a hero like my other sons. When you came along, I always imagine how much you would become like a hero. As well as the rest of the descendants too" Dad said.
"Mmmhm. I will be a hero like my siblings" I said.
"You already are, Sonic" Father said.
"I am? During the beginning when I found out the truth I was clumsy. And this bolt was made by you" I held out my bolt staff.
"It is my gift to you" Father said and takes it for a moment to look at it.
"It's indestructible. For a god weapon it's like it will never grow old" I said.
"That is true, son. God weapons are indestructible. That is why I made this for you. I realized that none of my sons have my lightning powers but when you came along you inherited my thunder and lightning powers. And of course, your animal spirit guardian of an eagle" My father handed my weapon back to me.
"Thanks Dad" I hugged him.
"You're welcome son" He hugs back.
"Well, I should be getting back to earth. But you will talk to me in my thoughts and dreams?" I asked.
"I will always be with you my son. Go on and have fun with this Amy" Father smiled.
"Uhhhh...thanks" I blushed when he mentioned Amy.
"See you later then" He heads back to the temple.
