Chapter 2: Chaotic Trio {4/4}

"Aaahhh..." A grunt escaped the lips of the plain looking boy. Opening his unnatural blue eyes and seeing the dark sky above him. "What the hell...?" He spoke as he fought through the headache that he was feeling. Until he widened his eyes in realization. That fat bastard knocked me out! He thought angrily as he remembered that he and his friends were attacked by Pandora and Epimetheus , grinding his yellowish teeth in anger, he attempted to stand up.

Only to realize that he wasn't on solid ground. "Huh?" Looking down, he realized that he was floating on water.

Moving his head around for a bit, the Son of... Someone searched around in order to see where he was. I remember, we actually passed through here after- Sadly, he remembered something. "Oh no... Luke! Silena !" He desperately called out for his friends as he had no idea what happened to them after he lost consciousness.

"Don't worry, they will be joining you soon enough." Suddenly, Zach heard a voice coming from above him. Moving his head up, he realized that it was Pandora, who was sitting on the roof of a building with her legs crossed.

"You're lucky that I drank your awful coffee, otherwise you and that fat bastard husband of yours would be dead meat!" Zach yelled at the beautiful woman as he attempted to find a way to get up there to hit her.

The woman bursted into laughter in response, a laughter that sounded incredibly childish. "You are a funny ugly boy." Before she insulted him.

"Ugly?! Have you seen that fat hobo that you're married to!?" Zach was quick to rebuff.

"I happen to like a big and strong man, maybe a pipsqueak like you just can't understand." Pandora continued to mock Zach.

"PIPSQUEAK!?" Zach was furious. "That's it!" He declared. "I'm gonna kick your cute little ass!'"

Hearing that caused Pandora to burst into laughter once again. "You are welcome to try." She then stood up, which allowed Zachariah to notice that she was wearing something familiar. That's my jacket! He thought angrily as she began to walk away.

"HEY!" Zach yelled angrily. "Dammit!" He began to swim towards the direction of the building where Pandora was on. Where the hell am I anyway? By the looks of it, he was in the Grand Canal. Why the hell did they toss me here?! He asked himself in confusion.

Unfortunately for Zachariah, his answer came in the form of something awful. As he moved his head and widened his unnatural blue eyes as he saw something in the water, approaching him at a rapid speed. Oh great... Despite Zachariah Roosevelt being always eager for a fight, he detested ending up on one without his weapons.

It only took a few seconds for whatever was coming after him to close the distance, and emerge from the water. Revealing itself to be a giant sea creature, having a dump-truck-sized head, a face covered in blue-green scales, a mouth lined with needle-sharp teeth, and a pair of yellow reptilian eyes.

"Era só o que me faltava..." Zachariah spoke in Portuguese as he recognized the creature. It was the Cetus Aethiopius, a sea-monster sent by Poseidon to ravage the land of Aethiopia as punishment for Queen Cassiopeia's hubristic boast that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids. To assuage the wrath of the sea-gods, the girl was chained to a rock as a sacrificial feast for the monster. It was at this time that Perseus was winging his way back to Greece with the head of Medusa. He spied the girl, flew down, Perseus petrifying Ketos with Medusa's Head to save Andromeda defeated the monster and carried her off as his bride. What the hell is it doing here?! Zach asked himself in deep confusion since this creature was destroyed thousands of years ago.

The boy with unnatural blue eyes could only search around the water for something, until he actually saw a canoe. Wasting no time, he swims towards it and climbs it.

Great, I'm soaked. He thought in deep frustration as he stood on the canoe.

The Cetus stood tall in front of Zachariah, locking its yellow reptilian eyes at the young demi-god while spewing drool and flames as it hissed.

Zach simply gave it a playful smirk as the monster stood in front of him. "Bring it on, sucker." He spoke confidently as he signalled the Cetus to come at him.

The monster then hissed violently before charging towards Zachariah with the intent of devouring him.

"Too slow!" Zach yelled as he jumped off the canoe as soon as the creature closed the distance, with Zach landing on top of it's head. With the Cetus immediately trying to shake him off, Zach simply held on to it. Until Zach decided to hang on it's scales, and delivered several hard punches into the monster's left eye.

"RAHHHHH!" With the Cetus reacting accordingly, letting a loud sound while simultaneously spilling flames off it's mouth, with the flames causing Zach to lose his grip. Allowing the Cetus to shake Zach off, launching the boy into a nearby building.

"Woah!" Zach made that sound as he flew into one of the buildings, with him landing on a roof and rolling on it for a bit before standing up.

Taking a good look at the Cetus, Zach noticed that the he punched was now close, indicating that he did enough damage on it. But the damage clearly wasn't enough to stop it from going after Zach, so it charged at him once again, with Zach running to the right, making his way to the edge of the building and jumping into another building as soon as the Cetus collided with the roof.

Before it could pull back and attack again, Zach continued to run forward in order to evade the creature. Dammit! I need my scythe. Despite always being eager for a fight, Zach detested fighting monsters unarmed. Since there was only so much damage that he could cause using his fists.

The Cetus followed Zach as he ran and jumped from building to building. Despite the fact that Zach had no idea where he was going. Wait... Until he remembered where he was before he was knocked out. I got to get back to the Ca' d'Oro.

Now that he had a plan, Zachariah quickly looked around in search of his destination.

"RAHHHHH!" Unfortunately, the second that he spent searching, was enough for the Cetus to get the drop on him.

"Droga!" Zach yelled "damn" in Portuguese, before he jumped back into the water to evade the Cetus attack. Upon re-entering the Great Canal, Zach began to swim as quickly as possible to get out of the water.

However, the Cetus realized that the Demi-god was back into the water and immediately sunk deep into it. It's going to attack me from below. He easily predicted it's next attack. So he held his breath and submerged himself deep into the water. Wait a minute... Is the Great Canal supposed to be this deep? Zach thought as he saw underwater, and he has a pretty good guess that the answer was no. Is this what they're doing? He was referring to Epimetheus and Pandora.

Before he could grasp the reasoning behind that sight, the Cetus reappeared and swimed towards Zach at full speed. Come on... The Cetus opened it's mouth, with the intent of eating him.

As it was about to reach him though, Zachariah swimmed upwards reemerging himself, just as the Cetus closed the distance and attempted to eat him. With the monster emerging itself alongside the plain looking boy, allowing him to use the impulse caused by the creature burst from the water to launch himself up.

Zach flew into the air with the Cetus following behind him, still trying to reach Zach to eat him. But Zach performed several front flips in the air and descended right into the Cestus body, with him running down it's disgusting and scale body as it fell down from the air. Only for himself to use the momentum to dive forward in order to reach the roof of one of the buildings once again.

With the Cestus falling back down, but not into the water as Zach was able to trick it into leaping far enough from the Great Canal, so instead, it fell right on top of one of the buildings that Zach was on top of just a minute ago.

Zach simply performed another front flip in the air and reached the roof of the building on the other side of the Great Canal, damaging it after landing on his feet, though it was nothing compared to the damage that the Cestus caused.

"Sorry, but Zachariah Roosevelt is not on the menu, and you wouldn't be able to afford it even if I was." Zach joked as he watched the Cetus struggle to get back into the water. That should keep it occupied until I get my scythe back.

Moving his head around, Zach tried to find the way back to the Ca' d'Oro. I think it was... This way. The Son of... Someone then moved away, leaving the struggling monster behind .


Running as quickly as he possibly could, Zach jumped off a building and landed perfectly on a canoe that was in the water. The whole place is completely empty. Zach thought as he really didn't see a single person around Venice since he woke up. Probably their doing as well...

Then he jumped on the water and began to swim towards the entrance of Ca' d'Oro. It took him less than two minutes to swim all the way there.

"HEY!" Since stealth was not Zach's style. "EPIMETHEUS!" He called out for the person that he was looking for as he entered the building. "IF YOU'RE HERE, COME OUT AND FACE ME!" He challenged the Titan as he ran all the way to the spot where he met Ephmetheus.

The plain looking boy searched around for Pandora's husband.

"Zach!" Instead of the Titan of Afterthought's voice, Zach heard a much more pleasant one.

"Silena?!" Zach recognized the voice of the daughter of Aphrodite. "Where are you?!" He asked.

"Down here!" The plain looking boy searched around for her. Until he realized that the only place that she could possibly be, was right in front of him.

What? First, the Great Canal and now this? He asked himself as he approached the Well Head that was on display in the Courtyard. Looking down, he realized that Selena was down there, but to his shock, that well was considerably deep and he doubts that it was natural.

"Oh Zach, I'm so glad you're here." She spoke in a deep state of relief.

If you only know how much I fantasized about hearing those words. Zach thought, despite the circumstances being less than ideal. "Are you okay?" He immediately asked. "What happened?"

"I don't know, I woke up down here." Silena answered, clearly being just as confused as Zach.

"Droga..." Zach complained in portuguese. "Look, we have a problem." He proceeded to warn her. "The Ethiopian Sea Monster is not far from here." It probably managed to jump back into the water by now, which meant that he didn't have much time.

"What?!" Silena reacted accordingly to that information.

"I think Pandora wanted to feed us to it or something like that." That was Zach's only theory, despite having no idea to what end. "I'm gonna see if I can find a rope or something to pull you out of there." He told the pretty girl.

"Please hurry," She pleaded with him. "I think Ephmetheus has Luke."

If Luke is hurt, I'm literally going to kill that fat hobo! Zach thought angrily. "Sit tight, I'll be back."

With that, the Son of... Someone made his way towards the second floor. My backpack may still be in that room. Zach thought as he ran. And if Epimetheus is there, it's a win-win situation. He wasn't afraid to face the Titan of Afterthought, quite the opposite, he was looking forward to.

Running through the dark corridors of Ca' d'Oro, Zach's wet clothes were making him a little uncomfortable, but he will have to face the Cetus in the water again, so there was no point in drying them yet. I got to get my jacket back. Since it was a gift from Annabeth, Zach really treasured that jacket, despite only having it for less than a week.

It didn't take long for him to reach the second floor and the room where he got knocked out. Unfortunately, no sign of his backpack.

"Mas que droga!" Zach yelled in Portuguese. Despite searching around the room he saw no sign of his backpack or Luke. "ALRIGHT, IF YOU'RE HERE, COME OUT RIGHT NOW!" He yelled at the top of his lungs in order to draw Ephmetheus out as he already lost his patience with the entire situation.

"As you wish." Suddenly, Zach heard someone speak calmly behind him. Causing the Demi-god to turn around and be greeted by the Titan, who grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the floor. "I'm impressed, I certainly wasn't expecting you to be able to accomplish the feat of surviving my beloved wife's pet." Hearing that basically confirmed that Pandora was behind the Cetus. "But n-" Before Ephmetheus could finish what he was saying, Zach bit the thumb of the hand that was grabbing his throat. "Ahhh!" Then he grabbed Epimetheus arm and threw him into the table that was in the middle of the room, smashing it completely.

"I'm done talking!" Zach yelled in anger. "Shut up and fight , you fat bastard!" He signalled him to stand up and come at him.

Ephmetheus grinded his teeth in deep anger before standing up.

With that, both the Demi-god and the Titan charged towards each other and attempted to tackle each other. However, despite the size difference, Zach was the one that managed to tackle Ephmetheus into a nearby wall, destroying it upon impact with the two ending up in a different room.

Unfortunately, Ephmetheus was able to regain his footing, placing his heavy feet on the floor to stop Zach from pushing him, simultaneously wrapping his arms around the boy and lifting him off the floor, clearly looking to bodyslam into the floor. "Oh no, you don't!" Zach yelled as soon as he lifted him above his head, and striked the top of his head with both of his elbows before wrapping his arm around his head in a headlock and slamming his head on the floor with a Diving Bulldog. With Zach standing up right away and performing a moonsault on Epimetheus.

Sadly, the impact was too much for the floor, causing it to collapse with the two of them falling down into the floor below.

"Mmm!" With Zach grunting as he almost fell on his head. Standing up right away, there was a lot of dust around, keeping him from taking a good look at his surroundings. Which turned out to be a bad thing, because Ephmetheus emerged from the dust and delivered a powerful uppercut at Zachariah, sending the Demi-god crashing into the ceiling, passing through it back to the room above, and even beyond, as he crashed into the ceiling of that room as well and ended up on the third floor.

"AHH!" Zach yelled as he held his jaw tightly, because that was a pretty good punch. My turn... He thought spitefully as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.

With Ephmetheus jumping through the hole on the ground that Zach came from.

With Zach wasting no time and charging towards him once again. Ephmetheus prepared himself to grab Zach as he charged towards the Titan at full speed. Only for the boy to perform a front roll on the floor for some reason, but before Ephmetheus could react properly, Zach delivered a jumping uppercut into the Titan's jaw. And just like before, it sent the receiver flying upwards.

With Ephmetheus crashing into the ceiling, however, it led to Ephmetheus flying into a considerable altitude, causing Zachariah to smirk and immediately jump through the hole he just made and observe as Epimetheus fell from the air. Come on, you fat bastard... Zach thought as he prepared himself.

Eventually, Epimetheus fell low enough, and Zachariah jumped as high as he could, grabbed the Titan in midair, spun rapidly, and slammed him headfirst into the roof of Ca' d'Oro. Basically performing a Spinning Piledriver on him. The two passed through the roof and descended all the way into the first floor, with Epimetheus crashing headfirst into each floor.

And they say Pro-Wrestling moves would never work in a real fight. Zach thought humorously as he let go of Epimetheus and performed a back somersault to create some distance between them too. With Epimetheus falling into the floor but taking less than a few seconds to stand up again. Only for Zach to actually charge towards him and deliver a Leaping clothesline, sending him back into the floor.

"Is that all you got, Epime?" Zach asked the Titan of Afterthought as he stood up from the floor.

"No really..." Epimetheus replied as he clicked his fingers.

The plain looking boy made a confused face for a bit, before he realized what just happened. Dammit! Out of nowhere, an absurd amount of birds came from the hole that Zach made when he slammed him on the roof. "Ahhh!" With the birds attacking Zach with their claws.

As the creator of animals, Epimetheus had command over them.

Zach felt the birds scratching his skin and he attempted to wave his arms around to keep them away, but it was useless because there were too many of them.

"Now." Epimetheus spoke, but Zach was too busy trying to get the birds away. "Be a good little boy and just get eaten already." Before Zachariah could react though, Epimetheus closed the distance and swung a very powerful haymaker into Zach's torso. Once the punch landed, Zach was sent flying into the nearby wall, passing through it like it was made of Lego figures.

Falling back into the water as soon as he collided through the wall. "Que droga!" He yelled as soon as he got wet again. "Mais água!" He complained in portuguese.

Unfortunately, before he could proceed to get out of the water. He felt it moving, forcing him to move his head to look back and realize that the Cetus was charging towards him. "Tava demorando." He commented as he proceeded to swim away as quickly as he could.

It turned into a race to see who would swim faster, as Zach rapidly attempted to reach the entrance of the Ca' d'Oro once again. While the Cetus attempted to reach Zach to eat him.

I have been swimming for as long as I could walk, you're not going to catch me! Zach thought as he continued to utilize the trudgen swim stroke.

Eventually, their race came to an end, as Zach managed to reach the entrance of the Ca' d'Oro. However, only by a few inches , as the Cetus burst through the entrance as soon as Zach passed through it. The collision sent Zach flying away into the nearby wall , but he simply rolled in the air and landed in the wall with both of his feet, using the momentum to create an impulse to launch himself into the opposite direction. Performing several front flips in the air, before delivering a very powerful dropkick into Cetus's face.

The attack caused the creature to fall backwards into the water, with the impact causing a massive burst to occur, creating a considerably sized wave to form.

Zach, who utilized the impulse of the kick to perform a back somersault, landed perfectly on the floor. "Eita!" Only to be greeted by the giant wave that he accidentally created, which engulfed him and pushed him all the way into Ca' d'Oro.

The Son of... Someone was overwhelmed by the impulse and could only attempt to grab on to something as he was being pushed away. Opening his eyes underwater, Zach realized that he was back at the area where he met Ephmetheus. Only to widened his eyes as he saw Silena, who was out of the well, being dragged away by the wave.

Having no choice, Zach attempted to swim against the wave, but it was no use. However, it wasn't necessary as Silena was being pushed towards him. In a split second, Zach was able to grab Silena and hold her tightly.

It turned out to be the right idea as the water practically dragged the two all the way into the back of Ca' d'Oro. Causing the two to collide with the Rear doorway and end up in the street behind the palace. Thankfully, the wave dispersed right after that.

"Ahhh..." Zach grunted in response to what just happened. It's official, this Quest completely sucks... Zach thought in deep annoyance as he opened his unnatural blue eyes. Only to widen them right away once he realized that his face was dangerously close to Silena's chest. Maybe not completely... He immediately changed his mind, especially since the Daughter of Aphrodite was hugging him tightly.

Silena was regaining her breath from what just happened. "What the hell was that?!" She asked the boy that she was hugging tightly.

"A miscalculated attack." Zach spoke embarrassedly, because he really didn't expect that to happen.

"Ahhhh..." Suddenly, the two heard a strange sounding front coming from the door that they just passed through. "What are you?!" Moving their heads, they realized that it was Epimetheus once again. "You are not a mere Demi-god."

Both Silena and Zachariah looked at each other in confusion. But Zach, reluctantly, let go of Silena and stood up. "What is that supposed to mean?" He asked as he shaked his head in order to get the excess water off his light brown hair. Something that was pretty pointless considering that Zach had a Caesar haircut.

"Boy, I am not really a fighter, but no Demi-god could take a Titan with such ease." The Titan of afterthought claimed.

"Wow..." Zach helped Silena stand up. "And here I thought that the father of excuses was just an exaggeration." And then he decided to just mock the fat bastard. "Just admit that you are a pathetic wimp and that you don't want to look bad in front of your nutjob of a wife." The son of... Someone mocked the Creator of Animals with a smirk.

Epimetheus grinded his teeth angrily in response to what Zach just said. So the boy gently pulled Silena's arm to stand behind him. Before he made a goofy Kung-Fu pose and said. "Bring it on, sucker." He signalled him to come at him.

The Titan was about to charge at him.

However, before he could. "Stop!" Followed by a familiar voice that came from above.

Moving their heads up, they realized that there were two people on the roof of Ca' d'Oro. "Luke!" It turned out that it was Luke, holding Pandora hostage.

"Enough of this nonsense, stand down!" Luke ordered Epimetheus while he held his sword against Pandora's throat. "Zach!" Before he tossed his backpack to him.

"Beleza!" Zach spoke happily as he grabbed his backpack and immediately pulled out the snow globe, before transforming into his scythe.

"Are you okay?" Silena asked Luke. With Zach noticing several bruises on his face.

"I'm alright." He replied, but Zach knew that he was lying since he seemed to be having difficulty to even stand.

"Okay, what is this about?" Zach performed several fancy spins with the scythe before moving the blade dangerously close to Epimetheus. "How the hell did the Cetus get here and why were you trying to feed me to it?" He asked calmly, but he was just waiting for an excuse to hack the fat bastard into pieces.

Epimetheus simply stood there, unfazed by the sharp weapon.

Causing Zachariah to frown in response. "You know what..." He realized something. "I don't care." So he pulled the scythe back and prepared to chop Epimetheus's head off with it.

"He is my pet!" But before Zach could attack, he was interrupted by Pandora yelling at him.

"Excuse me?" Luke, who was holding his sword against her throat, asked in confusion.

"She took that thing as a pet a century after Perseus killed it." Epimetheus decided to add to that response. "I don't know what she sees in it, but she really loves that thing." He clearly didn't understand the appeal of having that monster as a pet.

"Wait, you actually feed people to it?" Silena realized that it was probably the case.

"Yes." The Titan didn't even try to hide it.

"And by the looks of it, you've been doing that for a while." Zach decided to point out.

"Yes." He confirmed once again.

"And the gods are aware of it and just turn a blind eye." Luke suggested spitefully.

"What can I say?" Pandora spoke with an innocent smile. "Zeus loves me."

"The Gods of Olympus only love themselves, you blind bloody fool ." Luke was quick to rebuff.

"Can I kill the Cetus already?" Zach was quick to ask. With his scythe back, killing the monster should be easy.

"You will do no such a thing." Pandora quickly shut down the idea.

"Just watch me." Zach replied with a frown. Then he remembered something. "And handover my jacket."

"Zach, focus!" Luke yelled at him. "We have to get rid of the Cetus, before-" He seemed to be giving permission for Zach to kill it.

But.

"I told you," Pandora interrupted him. "You will do no such a thing."

Before Luke could reply, Zach noticed that Pandora had something in her hand. The plain looking boy noticed what it was right away. "Watch out!" Zachariah yelled to his brother.

Unfortunately, it was too late. It turned out that Pandora had a bronze lighter on her hand, which morphed into Zach's bronze revolver. With Luke widening his eyes in response as Pandora pointed the weapon at the Son of Hermes.

"No!" Zach yelled as Pandora pulled the trigger and shot Luke in the stomach.

"Ahhhhh!" With the blond boy immediately screaming in pain as the bullet passed through him.

"Luke!" Silena yelled in shock as he watched him stumble back.

Pandora wasted no time and actually grabbed the sword and pulled it off of Luke's hand. Before she sliced Luke's face with it. "AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"STOP!" Zach angrily ordered her.

But it was no use, as she prepared to shoot Luke again.

However , Zachariah was quicker and in a split second, he turned his scythe into a spear and before he could pull the trigger again, he launched at her at full force.

"Pandora!" Epimetheus yelled at his wife.

The moment she pulled the trigger, the spear pierced through her stomach, causing her to miss the shot by a few inches. With Luke losing his balance and collapsing, resulting in him rolling down and falling from the roof.

"NOOO!" Epimetheus yelled in response and immediately turned around to attack Zachariah. Only for him to be greeted by Zachariah charging towards jumping above his head and stepping on the top of Epimetheus's head in order to create an impulse to increase his altitude in order for him to grab Luke before he fell on the ground. Fortunately, he was able to grab a hold of him and land on his feet. "Luke!" Zach called him as he gently placed him on the ground.

"AAAHHH!" But all he did was scream in pain as the bullet wound in his stomach and the cut that Pandora just made bleed deeply. The revolver was chambered in .454 Casull, which was relatively powerful and by the looks of it, the bullet passed through. The cut on his face was deep, running from the bottom of his eye down to his chin.

"Ahh!" Suddenly, he heard an angry shout coming from his left. Moving it, he realized that Epimetheus was charging towards him. Causing Zach to grind his teeth in anger and immediately stand up.

"PISS OFF!" Zachariah Roosevelt yelled in deep rage as he delivered a Jumping Punch into the Titan of Afterthought's face as soon as he closed the distance, causing him to fall and slide backwards right at the spot he was before.

Silena, who was paralyzed by everything that just happened, finally snapped out of it and made her way towards the two boys. With Zach immediately kneeling down and grabbing Luke's hand as he winced in pain.

"Luke, hold on..." Zach spoke sadly as he had no idea what the hell was he supposed to do.

"Dammit." Silena joined and kneeled down.

Epimetheus also stood up from the ground. But instead of trying to attack Zach again, he actually jumped towards the roof of. "Let's get out here, my love." He heard the Titan speak, before suddenly, his scythe fell from the roof. Clearly indicating that Epimetheus removed from Pandora's stomach. But Zach was too focused on Luke to actually notice.

"RRRRRRRRRRR!" Suddenly, Silena got startled by the sound of the Cetus.

"Mmmm..." But Zachariah's focus was completely on Luke.

"Zach." So much so that he actually ignored Silena's voice. "Zach!" Until she actually grabbed his face and made him look at her. "Listen, you need to deal with the Cetus." She told him.

"B-But.." The truth is, Zach was hyperventilating, nearly bursting into tears because of Luke's condition.

"Listen, I can help him, but you need to get rid of the Cetus!" Silena informed him. "Please!"

Zach heard what she said, not really knowing how she could help him, but he decided to believe. "Okay..." So he managed to control himself, then he kissed Luke in the forehead. "Okay..." Then he stood up.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" They could hear the Cetus from afar.

"Z-Zach..." Luke said his name with a lot of difficulty.

Silena pulled out her backpack and reached for something inside. "I'm going to do everything I can to help him, but you have to hurr-" Before Silena could continue, they realized that there was something approaching them.

It was pretty obvious what it was. It caused Zach to give Silena a serious look before he moved to recover his scythe. "Please, help my brother." He pleaded with the beautiful girl. Who simply nodded in response as she pulled something out of her backpack.

But Zach didn't pay attention to what it was, as his focus was purely on what was coming their way. How the hell are you even fitting through it is a mystery, but considering everything that has happened so far. Zach thought in deep amusement. In the end, it doesn't even matter.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zachariah Roosevelt released a battle cry as he charged towards the Ethiopian Sea Monster.


Q AND A:

So this is just some gay shit
Thank God I checked this chapter
Gay ass mf

That deep into the closet?

Excellent chapter

Thanks...

Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível Autor-San!

De nada, meu amigo.

the story grew more intense, zach was able to notice that there were people stalking him, probably due to his experience fighting many demonic beasts that he had fought against The characters Pandora and Epimetheus resemble thor and sif characters in god of war Ragnarok or am I just thinking?
for myself I've never read Percy Jackson or A Song of Ice and Fire before, but I loved your original story.
- It's a pity that Zachariah doesn't have a golden experience stand, otherwise he'd turn his teeth into jellyfish and drink coffee, haha.
- Who do you think would be a good fit to play Zeus in Russell Cole or Sean Bean?
i don't see you good after noon, good evening, and good night

Yes, he had to fight against a lot of creatures that were lurking in the dark. Well... Yes and No, Epimetheus does resemble Thor abit, but Pandora is totally different from Sif. I'm glad.

Hahahaha!

Sean Bean.

Same.

Quick thing to start still with Persephone Jackson would prefer in place of him going gaga over her and making big cheesy declarations to no one about his feelings for her still think it would be better if again while still attracted to her and all that in stead of getting all down in the dumps about being friend zoned his reaction is more like

"Ah well what's one more girl putting me in the friend zone at this point" so of course he's gutted over it and it's more like he expected that outcome anyway while also having a bit of optimism about how there's someone out there for everyone and the lough and behold he meets Calypso, Rachel and Piper etc and the other girls start showing their interest in him in that way more oh and I'd just give him a wistful smile in that scene to so yeah less over dramatic declaration and more just him looking up and thinking there's got to be someone out there for me and as it happens there's actually a good number out there for him haha

Another reason to keep him more upbeat despite the friendzone is well he meet Pandora and Epimetheus this chapter so if a ugly bastard like Epimetheus can be with a woman like Pandora then even a average looking guy like himself could find love

Liked learning about the fight he's had with the Gorgon sisters but now when it comes to the likes of Luke being worrywats over what Z has been up to honestly it be nice if next time he puts his foot down and says for fuck sake I get you guys where worried for me and I'm grateful but I survived all those fights and by the way I'm not going to let you guys take my stuff any more to "punish" me for my actions

But credit due he did argue back against Luke in this chapter to but yeah have Z make it clear they aren't going to keep his stuff away from him any more and have him mention how he's literally the most experienced in every way Demigod at camp

Nice moment with all the photo taking Hm maybe photography can be a nice little side hobby for Zachariah

You know I was liking how Zachariah was interacting with Epimetheus got a laugh to from him taking the time to call out insults to Zeus to

Shame it was all a trap likely made up by Pandora because you know Epimetheus is literally known for not thinking things through and all that

So now I really hope Zachariah really shows of why he's the strongest and most dangerous demigod next chapter by easily breaking out of whatever confined in where Luke and Silena notability couldn't and he takes care of Epimetheus and Pandora fairly easily and gets the box back

Because I would like to see this quest wrapped up next chapter with the irony being from Zachariahs conversation with Epimetheus early how every time the box was stolen before he and Pandora where always the first suspects and that this time it was actually them who stole it so yeah he deals with them and then they find the box in their living room or something

Because again with Epimetheus involved their shouldn't be some well thought out scheme going on it's literally a case of Zachariah went to Venice found Epimetheus and Pandora who just so happened to actually be the ones who stole the box this time he deals with them gets the box back and they go back home

Side benefit Luke and Silena see first hand how capable Zachariah is

With the Aphrodite preview fair enough on the dance and fair enough on him having a average looking body at least we know in reality despite appearances it's not average haha but please don't have him where briefs give him boxers to wear

Like to think then when he does go and claim Hera's cabin when he walks in and says right this is mine now he looks around and sees it's fully refurbished and I hope one thing he notices is in his bathroom there's a statue of Hera that notably has a good deal of cleavage showing haha actually could have a few statues of very goddesses dotted around his new cabin

Again when it comes to the Gods that like Zachariah a good deal hope Hera is one of them and she quite enjoys him mocking Zeus

Due to Zachariah being the child of Chaos as you said this lets him get away with pretty much everything haha one thing I hope this leads to is the Gods really do go all out when rewarding him a good deal out of genuinely liking him others ie the gods that aren't his biggest fan still coff up one due to fear of Z and two due to fear of Chaos

So with Calypso's freedom firstly really hope Zachariah ends up on her island during the sea of monsters and when that quest is done he's like right free Calypso now cut to a scene of Calypso looking out to sea and Zachariah casually walking up beside her and saying yeah it's a nice view but hey want to come see the view from where I live and que Calypso needing a second to process what's going on

Also be fun to see when he returns to camp and everyone runs to greet him and see Calypso is on his arm haha

Glad you like the idea of Aphrodite giving out sexy underwear to the various woman that love Z and despite some of the girls and goddesses being not to happy with this it be funny if Aphrodite points out every one kept her gifts

Then you've got the likes of Hestia who just smile and say thanks

Will say to hope you consider with Annabeth having her be a lot more open with her feelings with Zachariah

If your feeling generous with the previews one with the milfs Hera and Demeter and the not milf but still beautiful Hestia and one with Annabeth, Thalia, Piper and Silena and both cases those ladies showing their love for Zachariah haha

Plus if you ever feel like doing a Roman preview it would have to be with Reyna and Hazel

Like I said, he will get super depressed after that and be all mopey for a while. It will only end after he gets stuck in Ogygia, because Zach pretty much saw that Calypso had it ten times worse with the fact that she basically had her heart broken several times, causing Zach to reavalute his overdramatic reaction to being friendzoned by Percy.

Hilariously, Zach himself will cause the opposite effect on people when he starts to have success with women.

Unfortunately, Zach is a massive pushover when it comes to his friends.

Well...

It is...

If Zach had to make a list from top to bottom about the gods he hates, Zeus is the second one in the list.

Epimetheus is basically a Henpecked Husband.

Well, I hope you liked what you saw.

No, it wasn't them.

Epimetheus was simply kissing his wife's ass, nothing else.

In the worst way possible.

LOL.

Funny idea, but...

Hilariously, the two get along super well, to Zeus's annoyance.

You'll actually see it first hand eventually.

You literally described almost everything that is going to happen.

In a bridal carry to be more precise.

Well...

In truth, Annabeth is actually secretely in love with Zach, but he doesn't see her that way. (It's mostly Annabeth's fault though, as the whole "Tossing a bucket of water and then stealling his stuff" really doesn't make a guy think of you as anything more than an annoying friend.)

Maybe on the next chapter. (Pick one that you would like to see first.)
