"Son of Athena"
Please enjoy and review!
Koji, Koichi, Matt and TK ran out back and found a truck was there and placed Tokomon and Tsunomon inside of it since their bodies had gone numb and they couldn't move.
TK ran up to the hedge when he heard voices and looked through the leaves to see the woman dressed in black had Takuya, Dai and another boy who was Matt's age cornered as the snakes nipped at Dai's face.
"OK, we need to get in there now." TK said turning back to the others.
"Why, what's going on?" Koji asked.
"Koichi's right that's what. Takuya and Dai are cornered by Medusa and we need to help them fast." TK said.
"OK, um, think. What should we do?" Matt asked.
In situations like this, Dai would be the one to come up with an idea on what to do and it would be pretty ludicrous.
Looking over to the truck, Matt's eyes narrowed as he came up with an idea.
"I'm not sure I like that look in your eyes." Koichi spoke up.
(Back with the others…)
The snakes hissing and flickering their tongues on her face made Dai feel sick and annoyed as the gorgon continued to play with her hair.
"Come now. Won't you open those pretty little eyes for me? Be a good little girl. Aren't you daddy's little princess?" Medusa cooed.
"Get your hands off of my sister!" Takuya yelled.
Medusa turned her head over to the brunette as he went to thrust his sword at her, but the blade was caught and he was then thrown over into a statue.
"Takuya!" Dai cried out as she heard her brother's yell and grunt of pain.
Ryo's hand clenched around his sword as he tried to sense out on where the gorgon was so that he could strike, but he was also nervous about trying to get her in case he missed and hit Dai instead.
Medusa smelled his fear and smirked as she placed her hands on his shoulder making him tense up.
"Aw, poor sweet Ryo. Can't be brave enough to save these children just like your teammates. How sad." She cooed.
Before anyone could do anything, the sound of an engine revving filled the air and Medusa stepped back just as a red truck came driving through the bushes and hit her, making her fly for a few feet and then hit the ground in a heap.
Inside of the truck was Matt at the wheel with his eyes closed while TK was crouched down with Koichi and Koji was in the passenger's seat with her eyes closed.
"Did I hit her?" Matt asked.
"I have no idea, I'm just glad to still be alive." Koji said.
Dai opened her eyes and grabbed Ryo's hand making him open his eyes to see the truck where the boys were in.
Medusa hissed as she pushed herself up, Dai quickly running to the truck and opening up the driver's door.
"Give me your arrow now." She said.
Matt hesitated for a second, then handed over the bow and quiver of arrows, the girl taking them and handed them over to Ryo who looked at her in confusion.
"She's your business, not ours." She said.
Smiling at her, the blue eyed boy took the offered weapons and then quickly took aim at the gorgon and shot the first arrow at her, shooting her through the head which made her screech out in pain.
Takuya got up and looked over to where Medusa was as Ryo ran over and dived to the side to remain out of eyesight of the gorgon and shot another arrow that went through her arm next.
"Guys, come on, it's time to attack!" Takuya called.
Opening their eyes, the sons of Ares and Apollo all got out of the truck, TK taking out his crossbow and started firing at Medusa, hitting her in the back while Koji took out a knife and threw it at Medusa as she turned to them, hitting in the forehead making her fall back down.
"That may have been over kill." Koichi sweat dropped at this.
Takuya stood and went to go finish the gorgon off, raising his sword up, but was stopped by Ryo who placed his hand on his arm making the son of Hermes look at him.
"No, I need to do this. For my team." Ryo said.
Nodding at this, Takuya stepped back as Ryo rose his sword up and closed his eyes in case Medusa opened her own to try and turn him to stone.
With a quick swing, he beheaded the gorgon.
"Well, I hate snakes more than ever now. What about you guys?" Matt asked.
"Where did you come up with the insane idea?" Dai asked turning to him.
"Well, I figured you'd come up with it, so I just did it." Matt said.
Laughing at this, Dai hugged him as Takuya shook his head in disbelief at the fact that a son of Apollo had been influenced by a daughter of Hermes.
"You guys are insane.'" Koji said shaking his head, but had a grin on his lips.
He then saw the other male and frowned.
"Who's this guy?" he asked.
Everyone turned their attention to Ryo who smiled at them.
"Ryo Akiyama, I'm the son of Athena. My team went on a quest to defeat these monsters. Alice McCoy the daughter of Aphrodite and Jeri Katou the daughter of Hestia were both killed by Medusa or…turned to stone really. I managed to get away, but Medusa has been stalking me ever since. You guys finally helped me end this nightmare. Thank you." he smiled gratefully.
The others all smiled at him, happy that they had helped him.
"Is there anything else we can help you with before we continue on our quest?" Koichi asked.
"Just stay strong and work as a team like you did just now. Don't run away from a fight when one of you is in danger." Ryo said.
"Those who break the rules are scum, but those who turn their back on a friend are even worse scum." He said.
Dai thought over those words since they sounded so family to her.
"Hey!" Demiveemon said.
Everyone looked at him since they had almost forgotten he was still in Dai's arms.
"You stole that from Kakashi Hatake! Or was it Obito Uchiha? Maybe Minato Namikaze. Who was the first one that said that?" Demiveemon asked.
Matt, TK and Dai all laughed since the dragon was a big Naruto fan and he made it clear that Ryo had ripped that line off from the anime.
Ryo chuckled too as he brushed his fringe out of his face and licked his chapped lips.
"Yeah, well, I thought it would suit this situation. And it is true." He said.
Koji, Koichi, TK, Matt, TK and Dai all looked each other over as they took in what the son of Athena said, his words every bit truthful and wise even if some of them were plagiarized.
"I'll see ya guys around." Ryo said with a wink as he then walked off down the road.
The group all waved him off and called out their goodbyes to him, wishing him every bit of luck that he would need as he continued on with his life.
"All right, now where do we go?" Koji asked.
Dai pulled out the map and the boys all looked over her head and shoulders to see the map as the final spot came up which made their eyes go wide.
"Is this really what I think it is?" TK asked.
"Man, Tai's always wanted to go there. He'd kill us if he found out we went there without him." Matt said.
"Who says we have to tell him?" TK asked.
"Well, let's get moving people. Time to go to Las Vegas!" Takuya cheered.
They all went into the truck and made enough room for each other, then Matt drove off on the road to head off to Nevada.
