Chapter 6.

The Quest

I don't own Teen Titans or Greek mythology. If I did own Teen Titans, I would have made Rae and BB be together because I hate Terra. She's an absolute cow after what she did to her friends.

They flew for many hours and finally made it to a large gate made of thunderbolts. A man wearing a helmet with wings was sitting on top of it.

"Hermes," Minotaur called out. "Call up all the gods and goddesses. We have Fate and the mistakes she made." The man nodded and opened the gate. Sphinx flew in and landed on a platform. Everyone got off.

"Fate," a voice called. Everyone turned to see a pale man with black hair. He was wearing a green robe and a belt and crown decorated with skulls. Fate smiled weakly.

"Hello Father," she said meekly. Two more men stepped out behind him. One had a blue robe and was carrying a trident. The other was wearing red and was holding a staff that looked like a lightning bolts. Fate bit her lip.

"Hello Uncle Zeus and Uncle Poseidon."

"Hello Fate," Zeus said. "Minotaur, where are the young lovers?"

"Here, my lord," Minotaur said. "They also have friends with them."

"Hermes," Zeus called.

"Yes, my lord," Hermes asked as he bowed.

"Who are these young mortals?"

Hermes flew over towards the Titans. He first looked at Robin, then Herald, Cheshire, Ggnark, Kole and finally, Jericho.

"The first young man is Richard Grayson, the next is Malcolm Duncan, and the young girl is Jade Nguyen. The creature next to Miss Nguyen is a cave-man called Ggnark, I believe. The next young lady is Nicole Weathers and the young man next to her is Joseph Wilson."

"Which are the two lovers?" Poseidon asked.

Kole and Jericho stepped forward. "We are," Kole said.

Zeus nodded. "Step forward, young lady."

Kole obeyed. Zeus snapped his fingers and a cage appeared around her. Carefully, she touched it.

"Ouch!" she shrieked as the bars zapped her.

Jericho's eyes were pleading. Please, let her go, he begged.

Zeus shook his head. "I will let her go, if you complete the quest."

Fate's eyes widen in fear as she turned dark grey. "No uncle, please," she begged. "Punish me and let them go!"

Again, Zeus shook his head. Robin, Ggnark, Herald, Cheshire and Jericho looked at each other.

"We're going to need a minute," Robin said. Zeus nodded and watched as the young teenagers huddled together. After a couple of minutes, they turned back to the gods.

"Two things," Herald said. "First, what kind of quest?"

"A lover's quest," Zeus answered. "You must collect items of love. This scroll will tell you what you need."

Jericho took the scroll and read it, with the others looking over his shoulder. It said:

The sacred rose of the sphinx waterfall garden

The ocean-moon pearl

A scale from the Hydra

A whisker from the underworld guard

Minotaur's ring

The Muse's flute

Aphrodite's beauty mirror

"What if we don't get all these items?" Cheshire asked.

"Then young Nicole will return to the underworld and never come back," Hades answered. Jericho nodded.

"Right," Herald said. "And the second thing is that Ggnark would like to stay here with Kole. Being her guardian, he's concern about her safety."

"Very well," Zeus said. "The Neanderthal can stay with the girl." With a flick of his wrist, Ggnark was in the cage with Kole.

"Also, you must give up your weapons or powers and costumes," Zeus said. "I won't have any cheating. Hermes, go collect their equipment."

"Yes, my lord," Hermes said. He flew over to the Titans. Herald handed over his mask, cloak and horn. Robin handed over his belt and mask. Cheshire handed over her mask and claws. When Hermes reached Jericho, he was pointing to his eyes.

"Jericho's saying that his power is possessing people through eye contact," Cheshire explained. Hermes nodded and flicked his wrists. For a test, Jericho tried to possess Robin but nothing happened. Hermes flicked his wrists again and the titans were wearing robes; Robin- red, Herald- blue, Cheshire- green and Jericho- purple.

"Well, that's settled then," Zeus said. "Now be off."

The Titans turned and found themselves on the earth in a beautiful garden.

"I wonder what we have to do here," Robin said.
