YAY! 1000+ views. Thanks for reading The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot.
If you haven't already, please also read my best friend's fanfic The Misadventures of a Bald Emo.
I do not own PJO or HoO because if I did, I wouldn't even bother writing a sequel to The Last Olympian or The Lightning Thief.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Weapons of Cosmic Destruction
"How many waves do we have left, soldier?" Leo demanded.
"You know we have an unlimited supply of cupcakes, right? So long as we have enchanted plates…" Jason replied slowly.
Leo nervously scratched his hair. "Yeah… I know, but it sounds way cooler when I put it like that, don't you think?"
"FIRE!"
Five cannons were simultaneously launched and a dozen monsters threw themselves forward to catch the baked goods even though they saw what had happened to their comrades.
Monsters, they never learn.
Who knew that five genetically engineered cupcakes could take out a total of twenty enemies? Maybe those monsters didn't get fed very much… They truly did seem famished… very famished.
The enemy fleet had around 2000 fighters. If the Argo II could launch five cupcakes at the same time and each wave could take out twenty monsters on average, it would take a hundred waves to defeat them. It would require 500 cupcakes… Leo almost felt sorry for those monsters…
Leo was manning the cannons with Jason, Nico, Frank and Coach Hedge. At first, the five of them were sharing two magical plates but it proved too tiring so Leo back to get more dishes.
Leo wasn't very sure of how many to get in order for everyone to have an equal number of plates. That was proof of how terrible he was at arithmetic. Confused, Leo just grabbed 9 enchanted plates and ran out to battle.
Okay people, I've got more ammo. He passed two plates to everyone and realised that they was one extra.
"Does anyone want an extra plate?" Leo asked.
"Ooh! Ooh! Pick me, pick me!" Coach Hedge screamed while waving his arms around.
Leo threw the plate like a Frisbee towards the satyr and Coach Hedge caught it squarely in his mouth. The ceramic crunched in his mouth.
"Mmm! Tasty!"
Leo strutted back to his battle station and popped a cupcake into the cannon and fired which landed on the ground only to be picked up by an orange pincer. Leo turned stiff. It was the monster crab…
Karkinos was like the Boss of a video game level. Cyclops, centaurs, gorgons and drakons were easy to get rid of but Karkinos was the really difficult challenge.
The crab crushed the cupcake in his pincer and Leo gulped. That's probably what Karkinos would do if it ever got it's pincers on a scrawny boy like himself. Ouch!
Leo gave a shaky laugh. "Any good ideas, guys?"
Leo gave no hesitation to his own question. "Jason will go down and stab its belly."
"Why me?" Jason asked confused. "Why can't it be you? Or Frank? Or Nico?"
"You left me out…" Coach complained.
"You're the heroic one. You always save the world and defeat all the monsters. AND IN THE END, YOU ALWAYS GET THE GIRL!" Leo screamed before storming off.
He knew that he was being really inappropriate but he was still reeling from his breakup with someone he wasn't going out with in the first place.
Jason shrugged and flipped his coin. He turned around to see if Leo was back and then got off the ship. If no one else was going to volunteer, it was his responsibility.
Leo looked out the porthole and saw Jason stabbing his golden lance under Karkinos. The giant crab dissolved into sparkly dust. He was so lucky… Jason could save the world and get the girl. Why couldn't Leo do that?
It wasn't like he could make everything right again. Could he?
Hey everyone! I'm sorry for taking so long to update but I've been stuck on the story plot because I didn't plan ahead. If you have any suggestions, please send them in via reviews.
BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
