Time for chapter 2!

Btw, you know how Luke went for rebirth? Well, I wrote a story based on his second life called R3birth: Luke's Second Life in case you all are interested.

Anyways, I digress. Time to start the story!

Apollo's POV

Okay, what happened was so not my fault. It was definitely Hecate's fault. She should've been more careful around me. Also, it should be noted that my sister happened to be egging me on at the time.

So, the remaining Olympians who didn't get to go on the vacation (which, by the way, was so not cool. I was so ready for fun in the sun!) went to Hecate's Shop of Tricks and Spells. Upon entering the shop, we went through at door at the back of store labeled Employees Only. Inside was... well, frankly it was quite amazing. Floating bottles and spell books hovered everywhere. An aura of colors were emitted from each object. The room was at least five stories tall. There were shelves upon shelves of potions, spell books and magic crystals in storage. Pretty sweet place.

In the center of the room was Hecate, poring bottles of liquid into a cauldron that's brew was the color of purple glow sticks.

"That doesn't look very tasty." I said as we approached. I saw Hecate's shoulders tense up before they relaxed and she spun around to face us, a tight smile on her face.

"That's because it's not for drinking." Hecate said, sounding like she was trying to speak while there was being a stick shoved up her ass. Ares stormed up to the pot and took a big whiff.

"Smells like crap." Ares said. "What the Hades are you making?"

"A potion that shall transmutate its unfortunate victim of which is permanent up to a week." Hecate explained. I nodded, as if I understood what to transmutate was.

"Uh-huh. Yeah. I feel ya." I said. Artemis scowled and rolled her eyes.

"Apollo, you don't even know what she is talking about." Artemis said.

"Uh-huh. Yeah. I feel ya."

"Ugh!" Artemis growled, throwing up her hands in exasperation. Geez, talk about temperamental. She needs to stop being annoyed by everything I do.

"You need to stop being annoyed by everything I do." I told her. She scowled.

"You need to stop being annoying then!" Artemis yelled. I heard Hephaestus sigh and grumble something under breath. He pulled out a mechanical bird and began to dissemble and then reassemble it.

"Why do your hunter get treated better than me, your brother?" I asked. Artemis huffed and crossed her arms.

"It's because they are sisters, not brothers." Artemis replied.

"Wow, you complain about boys being sexist but you sure are a hypocrite." I said.

"How so?" Artemis said, her eyes narrowing.

"For one thing, you do nothing but bash on boys and make scientifically inaccurate remarks about them." I said. Artemis snorted.

"They are not inaccurate!"

Ares watched on giddily while the others sighed and exchanged glances.

"They so are! For example, you say boys are stupid but clearly I am a boy and a genius. That contradicts what you say." I said. Her jaw dropped.

"I can't believe you are so arrogant! You make our dad and uncles look modest." Artemis said, causing thunder to roll in the sky. She looked at the ceiling. "Just be glad I included your brothers!"

"I am so not arrogant. I'm honest, unlike some people." I said.

"Ugh! I'm done talking to you." Artemis said, turning around. Then I heard her mumble under breath, "Piece of Chimera dung."

I felt my face flush. "Well... y-you're a stupid head!"

Artemis snorted and walked up to stand beside Hecate. They discussed the potion together in hushed whispers. Artemis was completely ignoring me.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but I hate it when I'm mad at someone and they ignore me. It sucks. Also, I felt kinda embarrassed about the "stupid head" comment and knew I needed to make a better comeback. So, I decided, why not push her into the vat? I'm sure transmutation isn't a pleasant experience. So, while she was standing next to Hecate, I gave her a shove from the back.

Artemis yelped and stumbled towards to pot. Unfortunately, I had forgotten how well balanced my sister was on her feet. Right before she could fall into the pot, she put out her right foot and pushed herself to the side, effectively dodging it. Still, it was a last second dodge and not very well aimed. She crashed into the shelf right behind her, dumping some of it's contents into the cauldron. It began to bubble like a poured glass of soda, spilling over the edges. A smell of moth balls and perfume started to reek from it. Everyone took several steps away from the boiling cauldron.

"You idiot!" Hecate screeched.

"Yeah, way to go Artemis." I said. Artemis face went through at least 50 shades of red before it turned the color of my awesome car.

"THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT!" Artemis yelled. I picked at my ear.

"A bit loud there sis." I said. Hephaestus had stopped working on his bird at that point and was anxiously staring at the bubbling mixture of doom.

"Shouldn't we do something about it?" Hephaestus asked. Hecate ran a hand through her hair and paced back and forth.

"Do what, exactly?! I can't do anything if I don't know what was dumped in there. Did any of you see what fell in?" Hecate asked us.

Everyone shook there head while I said, "Nope" while popping the "p."

Suddenly, the cauldron exploded.

I felt like I was being pressed and stretched by a taffy machine. It wasn't a comfortable experience to wake up too. After only a few moments of feeling like I was being melded like a clay doll, it stopped. I got up and looked around.

"Looks like everything is—" I said before stopping, feeling my voice catch in my throat. Wait, I sounded like...

"WHAT THE '—'?!" (Insert word of choice there) A ruff, female sounding voice said. A girl wearing black combat boots, jeans and a red t-shirt with a biker jacket over it stood up, looking at herself.

"A-Ares?" I asked, hesitantly. He— she looked at me.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT PUNK!" Ares yelled, tackling me down to the ground. I screamed as the warmonger started to pull out my long (beautiful) golden blond hair. No one tried to stop him. So, there I was, for five minutes fending off the angry goddess of war. Two goddesses of war? Athena ain't going to like that. At last, someone pulled her off me.

I looked up at the face and froze.

It was a boy about 14 years old long auburn hair that framed his pale face perfectly. He wore a larger size of Artemis' silver hunting jacket and he glared down at me as if he hoped to cut me with his piercing gaze.

"Arty...?" I asked. "OW!"

He kicked me hard in the side, breaking several of my ribs.

"Y-You— I don't even have words I'm so mad at you right now!" Artemis yelled deafeningly.

"But... you started it." I said. Apparently, that was the last straw. He began to kick me everywhere, leaving broken bones where ever his foot met. I looked to see if anyone would help but Hephaestus was glaring at me while Aphrodite and Ares made out. Hermes was alone, checking out his knew set of busts. Finally, Hecate came over and put a hand on Artemis' shoulder.

"As tempting as I know it is, you have to stop." Hecate said to Artemis, shooting a poisonous look my direction. "We need to figure out a way to fix this."

"And what am I suppose to do about my Hunters?" Artemis asked. "I can't just wait here until you figure out the cure for this... this curse. They need me."

Hecate shrugged. "Just bring them up to Olympus."

"I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that." Artemis said, his brows narrowing.

"Hey, your dad said I'm in charge so I'm saying it's okay." Hecate said. Then added, "Besides, these are special circumstances."

"Well, I'm not going to argue with that." Artemis said. "Thank-you for allowing me to bring my Hunters up to Olympus."

Hephaestus coughed. "What will we do about Apollo?"

Everyone looked at me. I smiled nervously. After a while of staring, Hecate sighed.

"We'll let his father deal with him." Hecate said.

"Meep." I squeaked.

"Now, I'm going to call him." Hecate said, walking off. "Hopefully, things are going better for him."

Well, that was that chapter. Someone had requested I do a story for genderbent gods so I decided I might as well ut it in this story. So, next chapter is going to be awesome! You just wair. ;)
