Chapter 7

The End

Disclaimer: (sorry I've been forgetting this lately) Jay, Theresa, other characters, and the Class of the Titans theme belongs to Brad Goodchild and Studio B productions. If you thought I invented Class of the Titans, then I'll take that as a compliment. Shade Serpents and Magno Draco belong to the left side of my brain(that's the side of your brain that makes stuff up). The yacht belongs to some boat company,

Athena and Pales belong to the ancient Greeks, Brad Goodchild belongs to his parents, and Studio B productions belongs to the CEO of Studio B productions.

Archie stepped back, thoughts swirling through his mind. A twelve-year-old girl had more cause for worry than the serpents? But, she had sent the Magno Draco back to where it came from.

"Wait," he said thoughtfully, "she helped us defeat the big serpent, why would she do that if she was evil?"

"Because the serpent is good, it's Pales who is evil." Athena informed him.

Pales threw her spear at Archie, and it stuck strait through his left shoulder. Archie fell down onto the white metal the ship was made out of. But then, miraculously, he stood back up, yanked the spear out, and dropped it over the edge of the ship.

The spear then impaled a shade serpent, sending it sinking to the bottom of the ocean, leaving only a pool of blood and a bobbing soul crystal. Odie ran to the edge and used a grappling-hook like device to pick up the crystal from the water.

"What?" Pales stared at Archie, who was staggering around in pain. "Why didn't that kill you?" Then she seemed to be remembering something. "Oh yeah, your invincible. But everyone has a weakness." She pointed to his ankle brace. "Come on, take it off or the pain will get worse." She drew a second spear from a long quiver-like bag on her back.

"I don't give up that easily," Archie said, trying to ignore the pain.

"I said take it off," Pales said, putting the tip of her spear to Atlanta's neck.

"Atlanta!" Archie said. He looked down at his ankle brace, and, to the horror of the rest of the team, began to take it off.

"Don't!" Atlanta pleaded, but it did no good.

Archie finished taking it off, and said: "Atlanta, there's one last thing I want to say to you."

"What?" she whispered, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Duck!" Archie yelled, throwing his ankle brace straight at her. She did duck, and the ankle brace hit Pales right in the forehead. She fell down on her back, unconcios.

"Well," Athena said, when Pales had been locked in a large storage box, and everyone was sitting around a table on the yacht. "I misread the prophesy, and it turns out that the Magno Draco just wanted to test it's strength against a worthy opponent. Pales wasn't sent by Persephone, she was sent by Cronus, because he knew the serpent would try to destroy him. He wanted the prophesy because it told how the serpent could be defeated. And, the good news is, the water is going away, because Hades found a way to repair the leak and drain the water. Plus we were able to resurrect everyone who was killed. Now you can return to your normal lives."

When they were getting off the boat onto dry land, Atlanta said to Archie: "I know this has been hard for you, with all this water and everything. I'm sorry you had to go through this."

"Actually," Archie said, "because of this experience, I'm no longer scared of water."

No one believed this at first, but when he went in the water when they went to the beach, they started

to believe him.

And Atlanta agreed to give him private swimming lessons, so he wouldn't embarrass himself by going into a preschool course.

After a while, Odie invented a device that jammed Cronus's portals, and they captured Cronus. Everything was back to how it had been before Hermes swooped down and picked them up with griffins, except now they knew each other. And Theresa bought a mansion in New Olympia, and they all moved in there.
