Chapter 2: The Ambush.
Perita let Zaron down in front of the Olympian Council Hall. He nodded his thanks and returned her. He climbed the steps to the top and opened the huge bronze doors. Inside the twenty story hall was the thrones of every god in the world, and a few of them were bickering angrily.
Eris and Iris were yelling at one end, Ares and Athena were sword-fighting at another and Aphrodite and Artemis were cat-fighting in the center.
Eris exploded and Iris left on a rainbow, while Ares and Athena assumed their godly forms. Zaron looked away as they left in a flash of light. When he looked back, Aphrodite stormed out and said Artemis was a 'bumbling wench who would never know the happiness of love.'
Zaron cautiously walked towards Artemis. She was sitting on the base of her throne, sharpening an arrow.
"Lady Artemis, I have bad news." Zaron said while kneeling.
"You're a bit late, Zaron. Darkrai told me the whole story. But he also told me how you'd failed." She said, not looking up.
"I'm sorry, milady. I was distracted by her... beauty." Zaron said dreamily.
Artemis rose to full height, and then kept growing. She didn't stop until she'd reached ten feet.
"Listen, that girl is trouble. I don't care how beautiful she is, I want her body, dead or alive. And I want Cresselia, alive." She said sternly.
Zaron was panicking inside, but he didn't show it. He simply said, "Yes milady. I will have her gone."
Artemis was going to say more, but she was cut off by a female scream and Greek cursing. She looked up and saw a girl in a yellow and blue dress hanging by a ribbon tied to her wrist. She tried to get the ribbon off, but it was snagged on her bungee cord.
"Kaitlyn..." Zaron said through clenched teeth. Artemis notched an arrow and tried to train it on Kaitlyn, but she kept swinging around. She finally was able to keep her aim straight and the second she shot, a pink blur shot from the ceiling and freed Kaitlyn from her bonds.
Artemis shot a few more arrows and they missed their initial target. The girl disappeared with the blur and Artemis looked at Zaron with a deadly glare.
"I want that girl's head on a silver platter, or at least dead. If you fail me, I'll send you straight to Hades myself." She began to glow and Zaron looked away. He was alone in the hall with hundreds of thrones and a bungee cord.
Kaitlyn landed hard on the stone floor of the temple of Apollo on Olympus. She looked at Cresselia, who had saved her.
"Thanks again Cresselia. Although, I think you could have been a bit more careful with the landing." She said.
Cresselia rolled her eyes. "Well I'm sorry I couldn't do that. I was too busy saving you from Artemis's arrows!"
Kaitlyn stood up and brushed off her yellow and blue dress. It was covered in black smudges and it reached to her knees. The ribbons around her wrists were pink lace that extended from her sides, made to resemble Cresselia's arms. Her disheveled blonde hair extended to the middle of her back.
She was about to leave the temple when a rainbow flash filled the room. Iris was then standing there in a white dress that reflected colors. Her hair was the same way.
"Hello Kaitlyn," She said kindly. "It's good to see you again, dear"
Kaitlyn smiled warmly. "It's good to see you again, too, Mom."
That's right. Iris is Kaitlyn's mom.
Iris regarded her daughter's messy appearance. "I see you've been, ah... exploring. Anyway, Zeus requests to see you. At seven o'clock, you must meet him in the Olympian Council Hall. I'll see you at the council." She flashed out on a rainbow.
Kaitlyn was left alone with Cresselia and a giant statue of Apollo.
So? What do you think? This is my first crossover, but I think I'm doing pretty well! Peace out and REVIEW!
