SoftWare: ... New English, Zeo. New English.

Chapter Nine

Doctor Who?

We reached the warehouse. Oh, we had no trouble finding it at all. It was the one with all the golden drachmas out

front. Seriously, this monster was a TERRIBLE housekeeper. We snuck inside. Not far from the front door was the

UGLIEST monster I had ever seen. It had wings like an eagle, a body like a lion, and, to top it off, a scorpion tail. My

only thought was this thing needs a body makeover. I don't know if it heard my thought or not, but something got its

attention. It walked off. We took that chance to see if we could find the Hunter it was guarding. Sure enough, we found

her. She was asleep, so I didn't have to explain the whole 'Son of Artemis' concept yet. We cut her bonds and carried

her out. Of course, the monster was waiting. "Ah, so it is true. Artemis did have a son." I drew Moonbeam. "I am Dr.

Thorn." "Doctor who?!" He lunged at us. I met him head on, my only thought to keep him away from the Hunters. I

knocked him into a dumpster, then faced the Hunters. "Get her to safety. I'll cover you." They obeyed reluctantly. I

turned back towards Thorn. He got up. "Very good, boy!" He lunged for me. And don't worry. I won't repeat the lunge

joke. I swung with Moonbeam, and he backed off. Then, he swung his tail at me. I blocked it with Moonbeam,

then took off running towards anywhere with moonlight. Finally, I made it to a small park,with plenty of moonlight to

spare. I fought him as hard as I could. It's amazing when you can get adrenaline by trying to buy other people time to

get away. Finally, he knocked me back into pure moonlight, no clouds covering the moon AT ALL. I did the natural

thing. Since I had lent my bow to Phoebe, I closed down Moonbeam, pit it in my pocket, and formed a moonlight bow

and arrow. When Thorn saw it, he stopped in his tracks. "Oh, dear." I shot him,then, while he was moaning in pain, I

drew Moonbeam, ran at him, grabbed his left ear, swung over him, and ran him through with Moonbeam from behind.

As he cried out even more, his stupid tail pierced my left shoulder from behind, so I fell onto the ground, grasping

he disintegrated, I began to pass out. The last thing I remember before blacking out was a silver chariot coming from

the sky towards me.

Phoebe: You got jabbed in the shoulder? Why didn't you tell me?

SoftWare: I didn't think you would care.

Artemis: Phoebe, you already have a boyfriend.

Phoebe: (Backs up and leaves)
