Olympus 2- The Daughter of Zeus! JoutenYellow- "Alright soldiers. Your job is to scour the city and kill whoever gets in our way." Hera hears Tetsu nearby. "Oh no, if he finds the Demi God's, my plight will be for not." She then uses her power of motherly sense to find the nearest Demi God. "Now to go undercover." She uses her powers to transform into a regular human. She goes through the town square, wondering if her sense has failed her as she spots a girl in a wheelchair. Hera thinks "Is this really the nearest Demi God? She's just a kid. Besides, she would be a horrible choice as a soldier in this war. I couldn't put a girl in this condition through that. Poor girl." Amy, the girl in the wheelchair, is puzzled and angry. "Why are you staring at me? I'm trying to go home, I don't need a stalker." "Oh, I'm sorry miss. You wouldn't happen to know if you're a Demi God or not, would you?" "What? No!" "According to my readings, you are." "What readings? How could you tell? Is it written on my forehead?" "No, its just that-" she then whispers to Amy. "I'm Hera." "What? Hera, THE Hera?" "Yes, yes I am Amy." "How do you know my name?" "As the Goddess of motherhood and femininity I should know the names of all Earth's children by heart." Amy is in awe as her glasses slide down her face a bit. "Would you like to talk somewhere else child? This is a really bad place." "Oh, umm certainly."
Hera then starts looking sorry for Amy all of a sudden. Amy see's this and gets angry. "I know what you're thinking. I don't need your help, I'm perfectly capable of wheeling myself to where I need to be." Hera looks shocked but Amy apologizes. "I'm sorry, I just hate it when people take pity on me. It's not just you, it seems to be everyone I meet." "Oh dear child. I didn't know, I'm sorry." Hera offers to wheel her out of love for her child. "Ok, only because your a Goddess." Hera tells Amy the situation. "Have you noticed weird weather across the world Amy?" "Yeah I have. It's just the end of winter and it's been pretty warm lately, about 10 degrees above normal temperature. It's not just here though. World News reports of the Pole's melting, forests turning into tundra's, deserts turning into wetlands and grasslands turning into deserts have been in the news all month long. Do you know anything about it?" "Yes I do. There's been a great war this past month between God's and Titan's. You know of the Titan's?" "Yes, the legendary adversaries of the Olympians lead by Chronos." "Yes. Well a second war has occurred, this time we've grown far weaker from those times. Human's have come to regard us as mere myth, something that isn't real. As such, a huge lack of faith has caused our power to wane as the Titan's abilities grew stronger and stronger, while we were helpless. One day a boy, a Demi God of War, unlocked Chronos and some of his Titan's, allowing them to roam free and wreak havoc. We barely stood a chance, but were able to keep fighting going for a good month. We lost many an Olympian, all of whom passed their spirits to their children after death. Even my husband fell to the Titan's unstoppable might. Chronos only had 3 titan generals during the invasion. Who knows what he's capable of." "Yeah. It's really tough." "That's why I'm going to Japan, where curiously a lot of Demi God's live. You were the first one I found." "I was? Sweet. Oh by the way, which God am I a child of?" "You have Athena's face, hair-" "Don't forget ingenuity!" "Hmm?" "I've always been into building and electronics since I was a little girl. It's been my passion. When I was little little though I wanted to be a dancer but..."
"Would you mind telling me what happened to you Amy? I'm really sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable." "Well, it happened when I was ten. I was always playing in my Dad's architectural works, running around, laughing, and pulling off the occasional prank on the workers, who usually laughed. One day I was careless, went to go grab a ball, not noticing there was a crane of beams above me. My father tried warning me to get out of the way as the man controlling the crane slipped his grip and the beams almost crushed me. I was lucky to have jumped out just in time, but it still crushed my legs." "That's horrible." "I'm fine now though. I've learned that I don't need anyones help like I used to think." "You know child, sometimes you should learn to discern kindness and pity. You seem to be very defensive." "I guess you're right, its just its always the same. Kid's treat me differently because I am different. I can't play ball or dance around like I used to. I always had special treatment in school. It made me feel alien, and soon, a lot of my old friends stopped talking to me." The two arrived at Olympus before Hera spoke. "Umm, I was wondering if you were willing to show me what you're capable of doing. I want you to create a tracker to find Demi God's, something that with a little magic will help us locate Demi Gods to bolster our forces." "Of course. I'll do it better actually." Hera thinks in her head "Well, she's certainly got her mother's determination." Amy then went to serious work, getting her hand's dirty as she spent the whole night perfecting this God tracker, made using technology she found in used cell phones with some slight assistance from Hera to put the finishing touches, as well as 5 special devices. "Whew, took a while, sure is worth it." "That's amazing Amy, I didn't know you were this talented." "Yeah, I once won a local science fair making my own cell phone out of the same parts." "Well color me impressed. Where do you think you can use it?" "I might be able to use this at my university. It's huge!" Hera is amazed at how hands on Amy is and says in her head that she will be most valuable in their coming conflict. After a whole night building Amy, though exhausted and tired, starts the day by getting ready and going to school by herself, Hera offering to help her in disguise. "You know, its fine if people want to help you child." "It's ok Hera, I've been doing this since I was in high school. Just relax and let me do my thing."
As Amy leaves for her college classes, Hera thinks in her head how much Amy reminds her of Athena, and she is her mother's daughter. Amy brings the tracker with her and it starts going nuts when she enters class, her turning it off. Meanwhile, at around the same time Amy is leaving for school, a young lady named Mikiho is waking up from bed as her mother calls on her assistance. "MIKI! WAKE UP!" "Oh yeah, I have class today, oh man, I'm going to be late. I'm never late!" Her Mom asks "What's for breakfast" and Miki replies "Its what it always is, bacon and eggs sunny side up served with toast." Her mom tells her "C'mon Miki, you need to change things up in life." "They're your favorite th-" "You're starting to develop into a machine. Relax a little bit, don't you mind me." Her mother, while having a bit of a coughing fit, tells her "Have fun at school and to don't worry so much, I've been through far worse than a flu." You're right. I'll see you after school." Miki leaves, thinking in her head "Why does mom have to be so stubborn. She knows she needs my help. I'm the only person who can help her at a time like this." Miki's mother then thinks in her head "I really think this might be it. I hate being a burden to Miki. She tries so hard, and she doesn't even have a life outside of home. I wonder if it would be time to tell Miki." Miki also thinks about how her days going to go and how worried she is about tomorrow's mythology test, and she wishes she had Amy's mind. "While I'm straight B's, that Amy girl gets straight A's. Why can't mom go to the doctors like she should. She wouldn't be in this mess. Always a stubborn mule that woman." While at college Amy uses her God tracker and it goes haywire when Miki arrives. Seeing the opportunity to make friends with someone in class and be a potential ally, Amy meets and greets Miki. "Hello there." "Hello. You're Amy, am I right?" "Yeah I am. It's nice to finally talk to you." In Miki's head "Ok, why is she talking to me all of a sudden. I don't think I've seen Amy actually engage someone in conversation before. She must be feeling lonely, yeah thats it. Maybe she really needs a friend to be there for her-" Amy notices Miki starting to look down in pity as she interrupts Miki. "Anyway, I want to talk to you after class." After class Amy asks "Hey Miki, want to come with me to my special study spot and we can chat and study for tomorrow's test." "Yeah sure, hey you want me to hel-" "No thank you, I'm fine." "Oh, ok. Just lead the way then, where is it? Library, coffee shop, house-" "It's a surprise." "Aren't we a bit too old to be doing surprises? We aren't seven anymore you know." "Relax, and its never too old for those." Miki thinks in her head "Man this girl is wierd, but I reeeeeeeeally need the help with that test tomorrow. Why do I have to suck at tests so much?"
As they're walking Miki asks "Hey Amy, am I the first person you had a study session with?" "Yes you are. It's cause there's something about you thats special." "Oh, well thank you. It's been a while since I've ever been called special." "Me too. I saw you feeling sorry for me earlier. I appreciate the kindness, but I'm perfectly fine on my own." "Oh, I'd never do that. We independant girls need to look out for each other. You're really smart Amy. I've seen it with my own eyes. It's a shame you don't really talk to people. You seem like a very mellow person." "You're better than me though. You get to experience much more out of life than I do. You can dance, you can swim, you can frolic, and you have much more confidence than I do." "I don't know, you not wanting any help shows quite the amount of confidence Amy. You and I are alike, we're both stubborn beyond belief. Hah." "I hope we can still be close friends after this." "Oh of course. You seem like the kind of girl who gets me, way more than these idiot guys." They get to what's left of Olympus and Miki starts asking "Ok Amy, where the heck are we?" "A place you would certainly like." Amy smiles as they enter the building.
When they get to Hera's base, Miki is confused. "I'm sorry, who are you and was there a toga party somewhere I never heard of?" Hera explains who she is and tells Miki things only the God's would know. "I'm Hera, goddess of femininity, nice to meet you Mikiho." "Umm, how do you know my name?" "Like I said, I am Hera. I also know you were born on April 12th, 1996." "Bu-bu-bu-but, Y-y-y, you're Hera?" "Do I need to say it agai-" "No you don't. I can't believe this." "It's ok child. Many people don't believe in us God's anymore. We we're simply myth-" "I've always believed in you guys. Your tales are so intriguing, drama filled, hectic, chaotic, funny, I don't know what else to say. Must say, true fan of yours. You are my favorite out of all of them!" Amy laughs as Hera tries to speak. "Well I'm very flattered Miki but there are more important matters to attend to." "Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I've never met a true Goddess in person." Hera then explains the mission to Miki. "Why me, what do I have to do with it?" Hera then says with a sad look on your face "You never learned who your father was, do you?" "All I know from my mom was that he was a mysoginistic good for nothing scumbag who left us to rot. At least that's what she's been telling me since I was little." "Well I'd like to say majority of that is true. Miki, your father is Zeus." "Zeus? As in THE Zeus?" "Yes. You are the Demi God of the Sky and you have power over lightning." "I do? Never came up before." Amy interludes "Thats cause it never came up before silly." Hera then instructs Miki to concentrate on a certain item in the room, Amy being terrified of a spider as Hera finds the perfect first target. "Focus your energy and the target will be burnt to a crisp." Miki does so and a bolt of lightning strikes the spider dead. "Thanks Miki, I have arachnophobia." "No problem Amy." Hera intercedes. "That proves it, you, Miki, have the spirit of Zeus inside you." "I do?" "Yes. Out of all the various children he has sired over the years, he chose you to be his vessel. All God's have inhabited at least one of their children as a vessel." "Huh, kind of does make me special." "Mhm. Miki, as the daughter of Zeus, it is your responsibility to lead the team of Demi Gods against Chronos and his Titans. If we don't act soon, all the Demi God's in the world will die and Chronos will take over the world."
Miki thinks about this for a bit but ultimately refuses. "I'm really sorry Hera. Thank you for inviting me over, but I can't accept. I don't even know my own father, and he expects me to fight in his name? I need to find out more about this, but as of now, I don't think I want to take the role you guys want me to." Amy goes to speak but Hera intercedes. "Very well child, of course, the offer is always on the table to join us if you've thought it over." "Thank you Hera, I think I just need some time to think this over. I need to think about my own mother. She can't sustain herself at all. If I were to die, no one would care for her. We don't have many relatives left alive, all of them estranged." "I completely understand. A daughter's devotion to her mother is something that inspires me as a Goddess." "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this." As Miki leaves Amy tells Hera "I'm going to go follow Miki and be there when she changes her mind. Huh?" All of a sudden, a news report appears on Amy's phone that skeletons are ravaging the city. "We have news confirmation of what appears to be a small army of bone shaped humanoids with blades attacking and injuring civilians. It is considered extremely dangerous. Proceed outside with caution." "I'm going out Hera, I'll be back!" said Amy as she bolted out the door, as Hera yelled in vain "AMY WAIT! Darn. Why must she be so stubborn." As Amy rushes to find Miki's house she contemplates how much of an asset Miki will be. "She's not only smart, but a good athlete and has Zeus' blood. She's also really nice."
When Miki goes home she asks her mom who her dad really is. "Hey mom, do you really know who my dad is, like really know who he is?" Her mother, a bit raspy in voice, says "I don't remember his name all that well." "Does Zeus ring any bells?" "So you found out hmm." "Why did you keep it a secret mom?" "At first I didn't want you idolizing your father, the jerk that he was, hitting and running. It kind of soured me to other men." She coughs a bit and continues "But I also wanted you to go through life as a proper lady hoping your Demi Godhood was a secret to keep you from being overexposed." Miki starts looking a bit angry yet sad at the same time. "I know I should have never kept that secret from you, especially since I spent so many years prying at your secrets. I'm nothing but a beast of burden for you now." "What, no. You've never been that to me mom. You're the whole world to me mom." "I know. And my daughter should be looking up to someone more honest. Who told you the secret?" "Hera." "Figures. Tell her when she meets Zeus again, that she better castrate him and put him on a leash." "Can do." "Why did Hera want to talk to you again?" Miki explains her situation to her mom and she is shocked. "Well take it Miki." "What?" "I'm dying over here anyway. It's the truth. I want you to make a difference in the world. I know you'll make a great hero. Now do what your mother says and fight for humankind! If I'm still kicking, I'll be sure to welcome you back with open arms." Miki, crying a bit from her mother's speech, hugs her and the two kiss each other on the cheek before Miki leaves, a bit teary-eyes. After running a couple blocks down to Olympus, she meets Amy. "Hey Amy, I've made up my mind" she yells to Amy from across the street. "Great, just let me give you what you need!" All of a sudden Miki gets mobbed by a couple of Kokolos and despite displaying good fighting skills gets outfought by the Kokolos superior numbers and ferocity.
Amy, seeing the situation, goes out on her own to the horde to give Mikiho her morpher. Amy gets swarmed herself by the Kokolos and she tosses Mikiho her God Changer just in time before she gets attacked by the monsters. "Quick, the button is 1-2-5, GOD CHANGE!" As Amy starts getting beaten, Miki quickly morphs and immediately fights off the horde that knocked Amy off her wheelchair and were trying to stomp her to death. "Are you ok Amy?" "Aside from slight bruisi-" Amy coughs a little blood "I'm fine." Miki, knowing she's just trying to act cool, says "Ok." Hera and Amy are impressed by her display. Hera says back at the base "She truly has the fighting prowess to lead the Joutengers into battle." Miki helps Amy up and she wheels her to Olympus. "I don't want to hear you complaining about me wheeling you, OK?" "Sure. Thanks for saving me back there." "It's what I do now. Are you sure you're ok?" "Honestly not quite sure. I'm sure it will go away." As they arrive at the base, Hera says how impressed she was by Miki's prowess in battle and her strength. "That elegance, that ferocity, you must have picked it up from your dear old stepmother," and the three laughed. Time wasn't to be wasted as Miki's mother was attacked at home by some Kokolos being led by a Titan General, wearing armor similar to Miki's. "Oh no, no no no no no no no no!" She bolted out of OIympus and ran straight to her house. She arrives and easily dispatches the grunts but fails to fight off the General, who simply mops the floor with her with superb hand to hand fighting skills. "I don't know who you are, but I do know that you might be a demi god, and that this woman should know whether or not you are, the strong energy here tells me so." "Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" As Miki charges again Tetsu pulls out a spear and knocks her down. "Don't make me destroy you first. Now woman, tell me what you know about the local Demi God!" Miki's mom, stubborn as ever, says "You'll never get to my daughter, you cretin!" "Wrong answer miss." He proceeds to crush her throat with his hands before leaving the house. "Useless!"
Mikiho, in a fit of anger and rage, channels the powers of her father and Shocks the Titan General with the world's largest thunderbolt, though he appears barely damaged. "You call that an attack? Now let me show you what a Titan Genera-" and he starts feeling the excruciating pain. The Titan General leaves, saying "I didn't expect her pack that much punch, especially for an untested rookie. It doesn't matter, next time she won't catch me so off guard." Mikiho, still exhausted, demorphs and comforts her mother, whom is dying. Mikis mom tells Miki, who is crying, "Miki, I know this will be hard for you, but I knew this was going to happen one way or another, the way you socked it to him was awesome. I know he'll be fearful of my dau-" "No, no mom. You can't go, you just can't! When we've had no one, we've had each other, please don't die!" Miki's mom says "I only have one regret in my life, and that is not telling you the truth sooner. It makes me feel so guilty as a mom, the last thing I tell my daughter is a truth to a 19 year old lie." "It doesn't make much of a difference mom. Either way, you were always there for me. Yes, you were strict, and yes maybe a bit too stubborn, but you've made me the strong, independent person I am today because of it." As her breathing slows to a standstill, Miki's mother tells her that "Go out there Miki. Make the world a better place. For your children, and your children's children. They inherit the world. Make sure they inherit a treasure." "NO MOM, DON'T!" Her mother is dead. Miki, inspired by these words, promises "I won't let you die in vain mom. I will be strong for us both and I will be a Joutenger! The Titans have nothing left to take from me but my spirit." As Miki arrives back at Olympus, she is clearly distraught and sad, Amy feeling it too and speaks kindly. "I'm really, really sorry for what happened to your mother back there Miki. I've never lost someone in my life before, so I can't even begin to imagine what your feeling." Miki starts wiping away her tears as Hera watches on in sympathy, offering Miki a hug. "Come here child, just let it all out. It's sometimes necessary to start the healing process." "I'm ok though. I'm starting to feel a bit fired up. Now I have a reason to eliminate those Titans. They took my family, now I'll lead the charge to TAKE! THEM! DOWN!"
Back on Mt. Olympus, Tetsu flies back to the palace, starting to feel the harmful effects of Miki's thunderbolt and requires some medicine to cure his paralysis. "It's amazing how quickly you fell to that girl. Doesn't your own bravado hurt you sometimes human?" Tetsu remains silent as Typhon boasts. "Hah, you're so weak. Never send a human to do a Titan's job." "Would you shut up Typhon." Asteria starts brewing the potion to cure his paralysis when she asks Typhon "Well, why not put your money where your mouth is and continue the mission yourself?" "Why of course, I'll prove my power by defeating that Demi God and hunting down the rest." Chronos wakes from his slumber and says "I allow this. I think its time you truly proved yourself after all these years Typhon. Show me the strength that made even the mighty Zeus tremble in fear." "Yes sir, I won't let you down. When I'm done, nothing will stand in our way." Meanwhile, back at Olympus, Miki starts contemplating how hard life's going to be without her mom as a pillar, Hera giving her a hug. "It's ok to cry child," and Miki starts sobbing in Hera's arms. Amy waits for Miki to stop crying when she tells them "According to the main scanner, our next Demi God is in a fishing village not to far from town. We know where we go next."
