Meanwhile, poor Helen has been taken to a large rock near a foreland, where there is a lighthouse.
It is very damp and murky.
The last of the chains are being snapped onto her arm. She is chained by her arms and legs, with a chain coming from each corner of the rock, with barely any slack on the chains making her immobilized.
"There you go." Says Cronos. "Don't you feel like the damsel in distress?" As he fakes to be in need, by putting his hand on his forehead, giving a pleading face. He then gives a half-hearted laugh.
"Don't I ever." Mutters Helen under her breath sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Now this reminds me of the story of Perseus and Andromeda, with the damsel chained to rock, the monster, the winged hero, you know the story."
"Don't you need a sea creature though?" asks Helen.
"Why of course, and a matter of fact I have one." He snaps his fingers and out from the waters slithers the silhouette of a large long monster.
The eyes flash brightly against the shadowy night. It gives a trembling screech.
"Well that answers that question." Remarks Helen.
"Well when we found you, we found this also."
He shows him the postcard. On the card is an old rickety lighthouse. On the other side is written, bring your bathing suit, you might be going for a swim.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asks Herry.
"That is why I am the computer guy." Answers Odie. He swipes the card from Herry.
Odie busily typed on the laptop, clicking a few times. He was staring at the computer screen pretty hard.
"There." He pulled back to let Herry see the computer screen.
"This is the only place I think she could be."
"Let's go tell the others."
Odie explains the situation to the gang.
"Alright, Neil you'll go with Theresa, Herry, Atlanta, and Archie in the truck. Odie you'll come with me and pilot the jet, you and me can pick up Theresa's boat along the way with the jet also. We'll all meet at the lighthouse."
Everyone quickly separates into their groups.
"I like your spunk, how about we just leave those miserable kids this creature, and you join me?" Says Cronos. "I could give you anything you want, at the snap of a finger, so what do you say?"
"I would never join at the likes of you." Helen turns her head away from him.
"Oh too bad, what a shame for such 'talent' to go to waste." Replies Cronos. "Oh and by the way... Never say never." He smirks, as he turns towards the open ocean.
Helen gets a confused look on her face.
"There is the lighthouse!" yells Herry. As his pickup truck lights hit the base of the lighthouse.
He skids across the rather smooth rocks in front of the lighthouse.
Everyone in the truck gets out. It is completely dark, everyone is peering through try to see each other.
Odie and Jay have just finished launching the boat into the water. They landed the jet beside the lighthouse.
Jay jumps out, while Odie starts to cautiously climb down.
"Hey where are you guys?" yells Jay over the fog.
"We are over here." Replies Theresa.
"Odie could you pick up the pace?"
"Hold your horses. Didn't anyone tell you slow and steady wins the race." He reaches into the jet and grabs the knapsack before he warily climbed the rest of the way down. "Here put these on."
He pulls out a pair of night vision goggles. Jay willingly puts them on, so does Odie.
When the two reached the others, Odie hands a pair of the goggles to everyone.
"Odie how did you know we would need these?" questions Theresa.
"I knew the lighthouse hadn't been working for a very long time, plus I checked the weather conditions." He replies.
"Why I do hope your friends come soon, because my precious beast here is getting famished, and it isn't a pleasant sight when she gets hungry." He tsks. "It would be a shame not to follow the guidelines of the story, if you get eaten and all."
"I don't think you have to worry about me." Remarks Helen again. She struggles with the chains trying to get loose.
The monster flings half of its body outside the water. It gives another defining roar.
"Well it looks my little pet is hungry. I better leave it to its dinner. Ta-ta."
Cronus opens a portal gate. "You know I would love to stick around, but I have other business to attend." He steps through the portal and it closes behind him.
The beast roars again.
"Great." Says Helen sarcastically.
Neil jumps into Herry's arms giving a squeal.
Herry looks a little surprised.
"What was that?" asks Neil.
"It was probably just an harmless animal of some sort, you don't have to get your feathers all ruffled." Replies Atlanta.
Herry puts Neil down.
Neil brushes himself off, "Why, I knew that."
He strides off to Jay.
"Okay here is the plan, Odie and Neil you will try to see if you can fix that lighthouse to spread some light on the situation. The rest will search for Helen with the boat."
Archie winces.
"I think maybe I should go with Odie and Neil, what if there is heavy lifting or something?" Feebly asks Archie.
Atlanta rolls her eyes. "Still that water thing isn't it?"
"It isn't my fault that I don't like water." Replies Archie defensively.
"Actually it is." Barks Atlanta.
"Fine Archie you can go with those two." States Jay. "Come on the rest of you, to the boat."
