ImmortalsA Screenplay by Faith This is a play about the Greek gods, only they are modern teenagers who find out they are gods. I originally wrote this play for my friends and myself. This is a adventure/comedy. Immortals Cast - Aphrodite - A Athena - Ath Artemis - Ar Hera - H Zeus - Z Creek - C Kim - Km Titan1/Alice - T1 Kronos - K Poseidon - Titan2/Layla - T2 Titan3/Joey - T3 Teacher - Tch Ares - Voice over pic of house zooming in Aphrodite: hey, My names Aphrodite and my life as I knew it is over. First off, yes, my name is Aphrodite. My BFF's name is Hera. Weird? Well you haven't heard anything. Hera's boyfriends name is Zeus. Zeus has a brother Posident. Good thing there's no Hades. But I do have a brother named Ares. I thought that was weird before the first day of the new school year. At our school, homeroom is mix of all grades, to, how did they put it? Give us a wider mix of friends. Well, homeroom this year was going to be ODD! Into house Aphrodite: why didn't anyone wake me?! I have five minutes to get to the bus! Ares: that's when you get up anyway Aphro. Aphrodite: Shut up and don't call me that Ares! Runs out door Ares: Aphro? I like it! Almost as good as the time I slipped a government gun into her bed! Hehehe... Black out In school hallway Hera: Hey Aphrodite, sup? A: Agh, Ares came up with a new nick name, Aphro. H: dude, you that one would have come earlier, but none the less, you have to start to get to know him, many he's not that bad. A: we are talking about a guy who can infiltrate a US gov base and take the most heavily guarded weapon and then wheel it into my room. H: good point. A: here there are some new kids in our homeroom. H: yeah, we should probably get over there and hope Ares doesn't ditch. A: yeah Black out In classroom Tch: please sit down students! Lets introduce our new students, please make a line! Athena, Kim, and Artemis line up Tch: would you please each tell us your names and grade! Km: I'm Kim and I'm in 2nd grade. Ar: I'm Artemis and I'm in 7th grade. Ath: I'm Athena and I'm in 7th grade. A: (to Hera) To weird! H: no kidding! Athena and Artemis come sit next to them Ar: hi! I'm Artemis! Awesome name right?! A: Absolutely! I'm Aphrodite! Ath: Athena, but you knew that. H: Hera! Ar: Wow! That's funny! If only your boyfriend was Zeus! H: my boyfriend is Zeus. Ar: no way! I hate guys, even talking about them but just because this is getting weird, Aph, do you have a boyfriend named Ares? A: nope Ar: good A: a brother Ar: Athena, is your dad named Zeus? Ath: no! Of course not! His name is Jack! Ar: siblings? Ath: no! And if what you’re thinking is true then you would have to be not into boy at all, no crushes, ever. Ar: see! It could be! A: You don’t have a crush on any boy... At all?! Ar: nope, boys are a waste of time. Zeus walks up behind them as they talk Z: Excuse me? H: we aren’t talking about you! At: yes you. I'm Artemis, and considering Hera here just stood up for you, I'm guessing you're Zeus. Z: that's me! Ares: and I'm Ares! A: yeah, nobody cares. Kim: (to herself) you will soon. A: what? Kim: nothing! Ares: I'm Ares, Aphro's little bro. A: go away Ares, nobody cares. Ares: oh, I think SHE cares (puts arm around Artemis) Ar: touch me again and I will personally ground you into a pulp. Ares: feisty! I like this one! At: you won't for long! Look up! Ares: hmm? (Artemis starts chasing him) AGH!!! At: so, ah, anyway, I'm Athena! Z: I'm Zeus! A: so, y'all doing anything after school? All: no, nope, ect. A: cool, why don't you come over to my place for a while? At: cool! Bell Black out At Aphrodite's house Doorbell A: hey y'all! Welcome! And, Artemis? How did you..? You were..? Never mind. Welcome! At: WOW! The architecture of this house is amazing! I've never seen anything like it! A: thanks? Ar: little bro alert. With friend. A: that's not possible. Ares doesn't have... Ares walks in with Kim Ares: hey! A: KIM! Kim: hi! Ares invited me! Z: looking like we got first period here! Minus Kronos, Creek, Thomas and their crew. H: yeah. Ar: cute hair... (Reaches up to touch it) H: DON'T TOUCH THE HAIR! Ar: goodness! Sorry! Z: hey, guys, I'll be right back, oh, this is my bro, Poseidon. Zeus runs off P: umm, hi? Zeus has been acting weird like that lately. H: I've actually noticed that too. Kim: and so it begins. Finally. At: did you say something? Kim: no, that was a figment of your imagination. All look at Kim Kim: all of your imaginations! Ar: whatever. A: do you think he's ok? H: I'll check. A: k, I think he wen to the living room, that way. (Points) H: k, thanks. Hera goes looking for Zeus Ar: back to the important thing, blame and shame. Now, what was it you said Kim? A: Artemis, she's in 3rd grade! Kim: (angry) I'm not! (Calm down, forced) I mean, that's right. Ar: your being silent. Athena's thinking! No! That means we are about to LEARN! At: no, no, it's, it's ridiculous. Kim: is it Athena? Is it really? At: yeah, it is. Hera bursts in followed shortly by Zeus Z: look! Hera! I have no idea! H: yeah, and yet we have the smartest girl in school here and you're not saying anything! Z: Hera..! H: no! I'm telling them! Ar: telling us what!? I love secrets! H: Zeus can make electricity do his bidding! It's SWEET! At: no... Ar: WHAT! Lucky! Kim: and so it begins. Ar: THERE! See? You're doing it again! Kim: no more secrets. Starting with the Olimp brothers. Zeus, you summon electricity. Poseidon? P: what?! I mean.. It's nothing. Ar: Poseidon... P: I can make little bubbles out of nothing and make little waves!! Ar: cool! Kim: yes, but now it's your turn Artemis. Ar: what! I don't..! Oh, that? Kim: that. Ar: well... I never miss a target in archery. Kim: now it's your turn... Athena? At: what! Oh, well, I can sort of camouflage myself a little. Kim: good! And you Ares! A: ARES! Ares: well, I sort of have a little attraction to big evil weapons. Kim: define 'sort of' Ares. Aphrodite? A: all I did was SUGEST that they should go out or, say do that! Kim: suggestions! Your best ability! Hera? H: no spence in pretending. I can make little balls of energy. Nothing much. Ar: now we've told you our secrets. Now how do you know this? Kim: well, I'm the oracle! The Immortal Oracle of Time! Me and brother have been around since old times! Try to hold back laughter and then let's it out Kim: what's so funny? P: how can you be that old? Your in 3rd grade! Kim: (angry) you know what! You stay at whatever age you’re at when you find out. I found out in 3rd grade. Deal with it! All laugh again Kim: (clears throat) ANYWAY! Calms down Kim: anyway, yes, I think Athena had the idea. But yes, you ARE the Olympians. Ar: but we're kids and the Olympians were all powerful gods, were’t they? Kim: yes and no. When they Greeks got the prophecy about you, they thought it was about gods right then. Not immortals in the future. A: wait, we're immortal? Like, live forever? Kim: yes, starting now, you will never age. Ar: SWEET! Kim: anyway, what the prophecy was really about was you. At: wait, in Greek mythology, there were also the titans who the Olympians had to fight. We don't have to fight our parent do we? Kim: no, unfortunately, there is another group of immortals like you who want to use the power to take over the world. Z: why am I not surprised. Kim: you have to keep them at bay for eternity. H: oh fun. At: wait, the titans, the main one was Kronos.. Kronos, in our home room! Kim: clever one here! A: I would hope so, that's Athena! Kim: tonight they found out the truth as well. Unfortunately, my brother is their guide, Thomas. P: Thomas! No way! Ar: wait, don't the Olympians have all these sweet powers and evil weapons? Ares: weapons? Kim: yes, and you do to, but you can't have your epic powers without your weapons. Zeus needs his bolt, Poseidon his trident, ect. H: cool! Kim: there's a catch. Z: there's always a catch. Kim: if someone is to take position of you weapon, they control you. A: well, where are our weapons?! Kim: that's your first task. To retrieve them. All I can do is provide with this map. I must go now. If you have questions, just write them down and put then into my locker tomorrow. You start you journey after school tomorrow. Don't worry about school after tomorrow, you will have plenty of time to do that. Starts to walk to the door Kim: oh, and, Zeus, you are the leader and can fly and Poseidon, you can breath under water. Z+P: wait, wha? Kim leaves Ar: that's a lot to process. H: you're the leader! Z: yes I am. (Goes to ruffel Heras hair) H: DON'T TOUCH THE HAIR! Z: ow! You CAN make balls of energy! H: yes I can. A: well, I guess we should look up what our weapons are and study this map a little. Z: yeah, Athena, you take Aphrodite, Artemis and Poseidon and start on the map. Hera, Ares, and I will start research on the computer. At: ok Ar: how come Athena leads? Z: she's the smart one. Outdoors, you might. Might. Ar: whatever. Black out The next day at school, homeroom Everyone walks in and meets up A: hey y'all. All: hi, yo, ect. At: I think we figured out the map, it was a very productive night. Ar: to Athens a 'very productive night' means she sits and study's the map while everyone else plays on the iPad. Z: ha! But anyway, yeah, we got a general idea of who has what weapon. I have a lighting bolt, Poseidon has the trident, Artemis has a bow and arrow, Hera, you have a scepter, Athena has a staff, Ares has a spear thingy, and Aphrodite, you've got a necklace. Ares: wait, we all get epic big evil weapons except Aphro here who gets a necklace? SUCKER! A: violence is never the answer. Except now. A starts chasing Ares around H: where's Kim? I've got one or two questions for her! Ar: one or two? I've got one or two HUNDRED! P: there she is! Kim walks in and A stops chasing Ares and the come over All: hi, yo, ect. Kim: bad news. P: ohhh, that's usually NOT good. Z: (sarcasm) oh my goodness! No really? P: yeah, I know right?! Kim: anyway, the titans decided to skip school today! P: so? Z: idiot. At: we had better get a move on! Ar: agreed, Kim, are you going to be coming? Kim: sort of. I'll meet you outside. One min... A: ok, come on guys. They all go outside except for Kim, Thomas enters Kim: Thomas. T: 3rd grader. Kim: why you..! I'll... I'll... Grr! Kim charges and T holds her back with one arm T. Whatevs Kim, it doesn't matter, Creek and Kronos are leading them already to Ares Spear Thingy. Kim gives up Kim: you won't beat the Olympians, they wii defeat you're gang. T: whatever. Kim: this whole thing could have been avoided if you weren't so power hungry. T: what's done is done. To bad so sad. Kim: come on Tom, dig deep! Tom. You remember that? T: whatever. Kim: there are two ways. You can still take the good one. Your path ends with a cliff. You could avoids. T: thanks, but I don't take advise from 3rd graders. See ya sis. Thomas exits Kim: I hate that SO much!!! Black out In the Titan camp in vision H: what the..! Where am I? Kronos walks on with T1 (Alice) Kronos: the spear can't be that hard to get at! T1: I'm sorry sir, but if we get a hand on this we have complete control over Ares. Kronos: we don't have time. They are approaching fast. T1: oh, don't worry about them, they have their own worries. Kronos: you didn't! T1: yes I did! Kronos: Alice, you are a genus! T1: I know Kronos, I know. Kronos: new orders, send out the twins to make sure that the Olympians are over, everyone left, try to find a way into the fort. T1: ok, yes sir. Black out In the car At: wake up! Hera! Are you ok? H: what? Where are we? Ar: you passed out in front of the school. Kim said not to worry, oh, and gave us these temporary weapons. H: Ares! Ares: hmmm? What? I'm here! H: they're after Ares' spear thingy first! They're almost there and they send something after us to slow us down! Z: slow down miss, how do you know this? H: when I passed out, I could see them but I think that they could see me too if I were out in the open. It was like I was there. Kronos is the leader. P: that idiot? He couldn't lead a pack of fish. At: it school of fish, not pack. P: I'm pretty sure it's pack. At: no... You know what, I'm not even going to try. Z: wait, so they're going after Ares first? He's the youngest! At: and the least expected. Ar: what do you mean hello? Ares? War immortal? Big guns come to him? At: what you said actually made sense! Ar: I'll be signing autographs outside! A: har har har, focus. At: did they say anything more? H: yes! I remember! Alice, from homeroom, was there, she said something about it being hard to get to the spear thingy! At: I would hope so! Ares: me too! A: I might hate this dweeb with my life, but NOBODY try's to take control over him but ME! Ares: aww, that's the nicer thing you've ever said to me! A: don't get used to it. Where are we off to? Z: well this map, according to Athena, says we should go to Lexington. H: Lexington? Like, in the battle of Lexington in the revolution? Ar: I think that would be the point. War immortal and everything. I mean, I'm not the smart one, but I'm pretty sure... H: yeah, yeah, quick question, who's car are we in? Z: Kim's, she said she would sent one. H: Kim has magic. A: what makes you say that? H: look up front. P: OH MY GOODNESS! NOBODY'S DRIVING THE STINKING CAR!!!! Z: Calm Poseidon, calm. Where is it taking us? At: the panel up here says Lexington, so I'm just going to put this out there, but maybe, I don't know, Lexington?! Ar: whatever, lets get some sleep for tomorrow. A: sound good to me! Night all! Black out Car in the early morning H: EKKKK! A: what?! Who?! Zeus: Everyone up! Ares: stop shocking me! I'm not evil yet! Zeus: sorry, precaution. thump on roof A: did you guys heard that?! Ar: no, we're going deft. Duh! P: we should check it out. Ares: I'll go first! Z: no, your to little, I will. H: no, I will. Ar: oh for pity's sake just let me through! Artemis goes check with Aphrodite A: what the!? Z: everyone out! Everyone gets out and there are two human like things on the car Things: we are here to destroy. Destroy Olympians. (Repeat) Z: what the heck are these!? They start fighting them off At: Lutts! They're human children cured by something. They are cursed to do whatever whoever cursed them wants. Ar: who just knows this off the top of their head! A: Athena! Duh! Fight Z: wow, workout! Twins run by H: the twins! Ares: what? H: over there! Twins disappear H: dang it! Ar: what was that about? H: those where titans sent to see if we were finished, now they're going to send another wave! I saw it in the black out. P: dang girl, what didn't you see! At: this time well be prepared, and... Ares: you can't win. Why even try? You will be defeated. We already have your little one.... I'm not little..!.. Shut up, your under my control now, any way, give up now and you will be rewarded! Z: NEVER! Give us Ares back! Ares: Never! You know, never a really long time maybe... NEVER!! Ares runs off A: ARES! Black out Outside in camp At: hey, where's Aphrodite? Ar: inside. Hera is guarding the car so nobody gets in. Aphros going to need some time after Ares. At: man, I wonder who's next. Ar: I was thinking, what if we can't do this? You know? What if we can't win? Zeus comes up Z: well we won't if that's you attitude. At: yep, Zeus, why don’t you go help Hera. Zeus walks away Ar: what if it doesn't work? What if we all slowly fall under the control of the titans? At: we won't, and think! As much as Kim said complete control, that wasn't, Ares still was in there, you saw that. poseidon Ar: I guess, it's just, I don't know. I think it was a good idea to just camp out for a night. I think we all need this to settle in. Zeus pops head in Z: agreed. Whoever the leader is must be one bright cookie. Ar: cookie? Hera blacks out P: Hera?! Hera?! Hera just blacked out over here! They run over At: it looks just like last time! She's back at the titans camp! Don't wake her! Black out H: where..? Dang! Not again! Kronos enters with Alice again Kronos: is the plan quite clear? Alice: quite clear Kronos Sir. Kronos: good, I'll be back. Ares is putting up quite a fight. We should have started with the love or something. Alice: isn't that who were after next? Kronos: NO! We are after the other sibling, Poseidon’s trident. Alice: cool. Kronos walks off and the titans walk on Alice: is the next wave of force ready? Nicky(T2): yeah, and this one will give them a run for their money! Alice: very good Nicky! Now, here's the plan, twins, you go back again, only this time, Rachel will go with you. Rachel: that is the most STUPID idea I've ever heard. Twins: (agreeing) yes, yeah, ect. Rachel: how about you stay here and I'll go with the twins? Twins: (agreeing) yes, yeah! Alice: but that..! Never mind, sure, whatever! Black out At: Hera? Are you ok? H: hmm? Yeah. Poseidon! That's who's next! Z: Poseidon!! P: what? I'm here! H: and Ares is putting up a fight. Ar: Aph will like to hear that. You should go to the car and get some sleep. Hera goes to the car A: hear what? At: Aphrodite! A: I decided that I can go and mope or come and fight isn't the last time, I'm sure of it! Z: good thinking! Lets go! A: who's next? At: Poseidon. P: oh! What am I next for?! Z: never mind. Lets just get... Figure emerge from the forest F1: where do you think your going? A couple of teens on the run? Nobody knows you're here do they? At: gang. Z: thank you captain obvious. At: whatever F1: I want you all to step away from the car slowly. P: why don't we just kill them? Z: if all they want is the car just let them have it. By foot is easier. F1: the tall one knows what he talking about! Gang takes the car Ar: that was close. At: to close! Hera was in the car! Z: what the... Hera!? P: dang bro, you just got girlfriend-napped!! Z: quick! After that car! Run off Black out Hera wakes up in the back of the car H: what the..? Where is everyone? F1: hello girly! H: (jumps back) who are you?! F1: your worst nightmare! H: agh! You’re Creek coming after me holding a big pink machete! F1: no, and, wait, who's Creek? H: wait, your not my worst nightmare! F1: yes, I am, you just don't know it. H: actually, I'm pretty sure I would know if you were my worst nightmare and... Wait... Here I go. Hera blacks out F1: what the..? Black out Titan camp H: I think I've got the hang of this now! This is like that book I read only WAY cooler! Kronos: (to behind building) yes, yes I get it... Um, bye? Alice: Kronos, good news! Kronos: ohh! That's usually good! Alice: (gives a weird look then goes on) anyway, apparently they where stopped on their own. Kronos: they? Alice: the Olympians? Kronos: right, right, go on. Alice: anyway, a gang kidnaped one of them, Hera. Kronos: wait, they were stopped by a GANG! So, they defeated her army of evil minions, but then were taken down by any ordinary GANG! Alice: wow. That is weird. I'll send the twins to check it out. Kronos: very good. Black out Hera wakes in a dark room H: hmm? Oh, right, gang, kidnap, whatever. G1: whatever? We just kidnaped you woman, KIDNAPED! H: whatever G1: why are you so nonchalant? H: don’no, hey, when did you tie me up? G1: when you passed out H: well played. G1: I would say so myself. (Goes to pat head) H: NOT THE HAIR Zaps them G1: what was that!? H: I forgot I could do that! Black out Z: are you SURE that this is where the car and Hera went? There are no tracks! Ar: dude, they ditched the car a couple miles back, it's in shambles. You got an iPod on you? Z: sure, why..? Ar: I want to take a picture of these tracks so if we see them again we know to kill. At: whatever, we have yo find Hera and get out of here or Poseidon's a goner! A: agreed! Ar: ok, ok, this way. Leads up to house peeks in window and sees Hera Ar: in here, I'll go in with Poseidon and Athena, Aphrodite and Zeus stay here just in case. Z: cool A: ok Artemis and others go in and door slams F1: GOT YA! Ar: who are you? I could skewer you with this rock! F1: I'm sure you could Artemis. Ar: how do you know my name! I never told you! F1: do you really think I'm simply a gangster? How do you think I got the car so easy!? Zeus isn't that dumb! I go into his head! P: what are you? F1: I'm a veto! P: you mean like what a president does when he doesn't like a law? F1: no fool! That was named after us believe it or not! We are immortals like you... At: but they were forced into immortal Suffering because they were greedy in some way. They can not eat or drink. P: that sucks. F1: yes, it does, but it comes with this! H: hey! Why was I not informed of this!? You always explain the plot to the prisoner! F1: good point! I'll have to make you prisoner first! Ar: yeah, like that's ever going to happen! F1: is it? Is it really? We caught your friends. P: what do you? Fake Zeus and Aphrodite chained up P: bro! Poseidon runs to him At: NO! That's not really them! Just... Poseidon is over taken F1: we DO have your friend. Give in or he dies. Ar: crab monkeys. And the third option? F1: normally you would fight, but what are you going to do? Kill us with you thoughts Athena? With a rock? Ar: tempting... F1: with a bubble? Oh, and the rock wouldn't work, you need to kill us with... Something other then that which I'm not dumb enough to tell you. Ar: dang. We could... At: Artemis, it's up to them. Ar: dang. We surrender. H: Zeus will save us! They grab them too Black out Z: dude! Did you see that!? A: yeah, they just took our form! Z: no, Hera believed I can save them! A: that was soo cute I mean... No, no you will not get me started. Have to stay focused. Z: fine, ok, what do we do? A: don't look at me! You're the boss! Z: what? Find. Umm, I know! Black out F1: see! They ain't coming! H: yes! He'll come. Zeus walks in Z: I give up! Don't charge! I can walk over there! H: Zeus! 😧 Aphrodite walks in A: hey! Zeus! That's not the plan! F1: plan? Z: shoot, I don't care about that stupid plan, I wouldn't have worked. A: but! Z: no. Hey! Are you going to come get me or what? F1: hmm? Oh yeah, you, go get him. One gangster goes over and Zeus zaps him off Z: ha! Your turn Aphro! A: you didn't!! Burst of angry energy pushes everyone back and makes then all fall over defeated P: oww, my head. Z: that was AMAZING! At: astounding! H: ZEUS! Hera gives Zeus hug At: is Artemis ok? Artemis is knocked out Z: we should get here to the van.. Or we would set up camp out of sight before these goons wake up. Poseidon, can you cary her? P: please, can ants fly? At: no, they can't. P: course they can! At: I'm not even going to try. Black out Kim and Thomas Kim: are you sirius? You got Creek to send the vetoes offer them? Thomas: oh, I haven't even started! We are almost to Poseidon's trident. Kim: (snorts) yeah, good luck with that! Thomas: what do you know? Kim leaves Thomas: don't you leave me! Kim! Black out Black fade in and voices sound distant from Artemis point of view in new camp At: I think she's coming to! A: Artemis? Can you hear me? Ar: DON'T TOUCH ME! Oh, hi. Z: are you ok? Aphrodite got you good. Ar: fine stop asking and we never mention this moment again. H: oh, guys, someone catch me! I'm going... Hera goes out Black out At Titan camp H: here we go again. Kronos: yes, yes, so let me get this strait, that lived, ALL OF THEM! Alice: yep, pretty much. Kronos: how's progress on the trident? Alice: well, you see, we found it... Kronos: good! Alice: yeah, but it's in the ruins of the Titanic. Kronos: isn't that that boat that sunk but I never bothered to learn about? Alice: yeah.. One of them. Kronos: hmm, ok, I'll consult her. Kronos walks away Alice: CREW! Titans run on Black out Ar: you up? H: oh, hey yeah, I know where the trident is. P: where! H: with the ruins of the Titanic. Z: how do you know? H: Kronos said so. Z: so Kronos is the leader. H: yes. Yes, 100%. At: we're pretty close to the Titanic wreck now! Ar: how far DID you go when I was out!? Z: the wind can carry you fast. Lets just say that. Ar: ok. It's to late to go now. Z: we leave first thing in the morning, for now, sleep. Blackout Morning Z: up and atom! If we want to save my brother, we all need to be up and awake. We should head out, I think, scratch that, know its this way. Ar: coolio! Lets head out! H: yes, but can we just walk this time? I don't think I could manage another flying experience, no matter how fast it goes! At: agreed! Z: ok, fine, we'll walk. A: Hera and I will stay to guard the camp Z: sure, ok, whatever Blackout Ar: I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but this doesn't look like an ocean. At: it's not, it's a reenactment on a lake, there's an exact replica down there. P: I can feel my trident! Twins come up behind him Layla: can you feel this? (Punch in back) P: yeah, I think I could! Good one! Ar: she's attacking you genius! P: that's not nice! Joel: we're not nice! Z: what are you doing here!? Layla: getting piece two in the puzzle. Poseidon! Joel: we have Ares, mind you, he's putting up quite a fight, but Poseidon should be MUCH easier! Ar: yeah? And what makes you think that?! P: look! That pack of fish just swam away! That wasn't nice! I was trying to talk to them! Layla: are you seriously asking that? Ar: bad timing. Joel: right. Anyway, your to late. Here's why... Z: why!! Oh, that was a delayed reaction. Layla: we're the distraction! Joel: and there's our ride! Driven by the one and only Ares! Ares pops out of the water carrying the trident At: It’s Ares! Ares: hey guys! No! Die Olympian! No! You might control my body, but NOT MY MOUTH! Yeah, I'm fine, got to go! Ar: Ares! He flies off with the twins P: fools! Give up now! That's funny! It tickles! Stop it! We already have two, give in! You will never beat us to Artemis' bow! I wasn't suppose to say that. Forget the last 10 secs ever happened. You know what I'll just leave now. Z: (growl) Kronos... P: that's my name. So long! No, my name is Poseidon. Isn't it? Fool! Stop coming out! Leaves arguing with himself At: that was weird. Ar: indeed. Z: we have to get to your bow, fast! At: according to my calculations, and this map, it should be in Yellowstone National Park. The biggest park in the US. Ar: you know this off the top of your head? At: yeah, sure, why? Ar: never mind. H: we should go, like, NOW! Z: agreed. There are only four of us so we should move rather quickly. Blackout H: man, are these EVER going to stop? Kronos: what do you mean DELAYED! Alice: I'm sorry sir, but we can't seem to get the car running. Kronos: bring me my iPad. Alice: here. Kronos: 70 MILES!! 70 MILES BEFORE THE NEXT CAR REPAIR SHOP! I knew we should have gone with the flying guy first! Alice: we should get there by noon tomorrow. Kronos: fine, fine, do what must be done. Blackout Z: you mean we have until noon tomorrow to get from here in Frankfort to Yellowstone? We can manage! Ar: please no... Please, please... At: unfortunately, yes, it's the only way. H: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Z: ok, we get it! You don't like flying! At: let's just get this over with and get to Yellowstone. Blackout H: we actually managed to get here without any trouble! Z: that's a first! At: and we still have an hour or two before noon! Hurry! Artemis, can you sense it? Ar: if sensing it is having a strong longing to go that way, then yes, yes it is. H: lead the way! Aphro and I will make sure nobody is following us. Blackout At: still no trouble, this is easy, to easy. Not enough trouble.. Ar: HERE! Picks up bow and arrows Z: we actually got one! Rachel: told you this was the worst idea EVER! Layla: you made this idea! R: no, you did! Layla: what! Ar: (holding bow) if I were you titans, I'd go home, NOW! Joel: until next time. Oh, that sounded like what they say at the end of a movie! :) Titans run off Z: dang it! Ar: dang what? We got out here without any trouble, AND we got the bow! That's one point Olympians, two Titans! Z: yeah, we lost two people though, AND a car! At: dude, we are WAY better off without the car. Z: whatever. Point being... Black out At camp of titans Kronos: I don't get it, they always seem to know JUST where we are going. Alice: it is a little odd... But theirs no way they'll know we're going ofter Aphrodite next. Kronos: excuse me? Alice: sorry sir, Lovie. Isn't that a little obvious? Kronos: no sense! It's perfect! They'll never guess! Alice: right... Blackout Z: so, Kronos is after Aphro next? A: don't call.. Ah! Never mind. At: I think I can figure out the map for Aphrodite's necklace. Z: cool! At: by tomorrow. Z: not cool. We can set up came here. Ar: hey! My folks live near here! My cousin Dean! A: really? Cool! Do you think we can stay there? Ar: ummm, worth a try. Blackout Flashback Ar: mommy! Where are we going? Mom: to Cousin Dean's! Ar: but cousin Dean is CRAZY! Mom: that's not nice! Come say hi to your cousin! Ar: hi Deanie... Dean: YOU! ARTEMIS! Umm, I mean hi! Mom: why don't you two run off and play, I think you Aunt is here. Dean: ok Mom walks away Dean: Artemis! You! You will be the first of them! You will shoot and wound! You will your friend will slowly leave! You will be one of three! You will win! So what do you want to play? Ar: DEAN! Why do you do that!? Dean: Olympians will find the truth within them... Forever... Ar: MOMMY! Artemis runs off Black out H: hey? Artemis? Are you there? Ar: hmm? Oh, yeah, Deans house is this way. Black out At Deans Ar: Dean? You here? Dean: ARTEMIS! Your first part is done!? Ar: yes, yes, I get it. Can we skip all that and just let me say, yes, you where right. Olympian. Can we stay for the night? Dean: of course! Walk inside H: what was that about? Ar: family matter, it doesn't matter. At: I GOT IT! A: what? At: the map! Aphrodite, yours is in St. Paul. Weird. That's not related to love at all. Oh well. I think if we set off right away in the morning... A: TO LATE FOOLS! Z: Kronos! A: you will never find out our next location! Or person! H: Athena. A: what his did you know? It's obvious. We gave a random guess and waited for your reaction. STOP COMING OUT! YOU WON'T GET US AGAIN. WE ARE ALMOST THERE! Poseidon was right, it does tickle! OFF WE GO FOOL! Fine. Bye guys. Save Athena! Aphro leaves Z: (puts head on hands) man... H: come on, it's not you fault... Athena, do you have the location of your staff? At: on it. H: we could leave first thing... Z: no we leave now. Kronos always get there before us. Athena, do you have the location of your staff? At: yeah, but I have good news and bad news. Z: good news first. At: we are fairly close. H: bad news? At: well, we have to pass through Minneapolis. Ar: so? At: that place is crawling with Titanets. Ar: Titan what's? At: mortals who know about the prophecy and follow the titans. H: not good. At: yes, not good. Ar: I'm guessing you they'll be out to get us? At: yep! Pretty much. H: we could go around. Ar: to easy. At: noo, not enough time. H: ok, so we leave at... Now. Z: ok, you guys get ready I need to talk with Athena about the map. Ar: ok Artemis and Hera leave Athena: here (hand Zeus sheet if paper) Zeus: what is this? At: the locations of the rest of the weapons Z: what? Cool! Why? At: we probably not going to get there fast enough, so, just in case, this is where they are. Z: we are going to get there in time. At: right. Whatever. Black out Ar: time to go! I think... Z: hey, um, yeah. Ar: cool! Ok, we have a backpack for everyone. H: extra clothes, some food and water and other assorted things. Oh, catch me. Blackout Kronos: we are nearly to the staff of Athena! Alice: the way we were treated in Minneapolis was AWESOME! Kronos: whatever. Now... Be gone! I must consult. Alice: sure whatever. Alice leaves Creek: (from behind wall so we can't see her) very good. Without Athena they can't find out the map. Kronos: that's good right? Creek: course you dolt! Blackout H: I'm up! Z: hey, time to go! H: sweet. Wait! Ar: what? H: Kronos. He's already through Minneapolis. Z: already?! Hurry! Lets hit the road! Dean walks in Dean: before you go, coco? At: no thanks Dean. Dean: ok... The wise will fall, the final arrow shot, they shall prevail. Enemy revealed and friends found. The end comes. Are you sure? I got some right here! Z: what did you..? At: no thanks! We'll be on our way. Blackout Outside H: what was that?! Ar: nothing. He does that sometimes. At: WHAT!? He's done that before?! Why didn't you tell us?! Ar: I thought it was irrelevant. At: IRRELEVANT!? (Deep breath calming down) Artemis, your cousins an oracle. Ar: an ORACLE! Isn't that what Kim is? At: yes, but he doesn't know he's an oracle so he has random prophecies without remembering most of them. Kim knows so she can remember and everything. Dean is... Well... Slowly going crazy. Z: how do you know this? This isn't Greek mythology! At: talk with Kim. Long story. Basically, that was a prophecy. H: the wise will fall... At: easy. We won't make it in time. I fall. Z: we can change that if we leave NOW. At: we could try. I'll figure it out as we go. H: cool. Lets go. To Minneapolis! Blackout Z: welcome to Minneapolis! Ok if anyone asks, our names are not Zeus, Athena, Hera, and Artemis. P1: those are your names? Z: not if anyone asks! Oops. P1: we have awaited your arrival. Get them! Ar: freeze! Or I'll shoot! P1: oh, Arty go her bow! So cute! H: eat this! Hera sends shock wave but the people are undamaged H: what the..? P1: our leader. She gave us this. As long as we keep you back you can't be hurt by any of you. Except her. She has her weapon. But she cannot hold us all off. You will fall. Z: never! Go! Attack but are slowly pulled away from each other they grab Hera Z: where's Hera? Ar: DANG! Fight the rest off but Hera is missing Z: dang! I think they all mainly retreated that way. Quick! Blackout H: are you sirius? Is it ALWAYS me? Just curious. P1: welcome to the lair. Don't get to comfy. The twins will be here to pick you up. Also your friends are on their way. Our job is done. Athena will fall next. H: nev... Wait... Here I go. Catch me. P1: wait... What!? Blackout Titans gathered round a staff Kronos: at last! Alice, go get it. Rachel: that's the most stupid idea I've ever heard. Kronos: excuse me? Rachel: you OBVIOUSLY need to send Alice up there. Twins: yeah, yes, much better, ect. Kronos: wait..? What..? Never mind. Sure. Just go get it Alice. Alice try's but can't get past Alice: can't get there! Kronos: of course! There obviously protection. Rachel: no, really? Kronos: I'm starting to not like this kid! Blackout H: dang tied up in my sleep again! P1: no, we did that before you blacked out H: oh. Right. I knew that. P1: right... Blackout At: we should be getting close now. Ar: there. (Points to house) Z: how do you know? Ar: hunter? Hello? Z: oh, right. Peek in window and see Hera tied up. Z: daisavou much! Ar: I feel like I've done this before. At: that's what daisavou means. Ar: does it look like I care? Z: how do we get in? At: the structure of this house is unstable. It would be unsafe to do anything but open the door. Ar: do I look like I care? Again. I'm breaking in! At: wait! That could completely... Too late! The staff is ours! You will never save Hera! Already the twins are on the way to pick it up! Ok, Kronos, you may have my body, but I will not be calling any living person 'it' deal? Why do they always fight? Just give in! Athena drops paper and leaves Zeus scoops it up and puts in pocket. Person 1 comes out P1: we've been expecting you. (Evil laugh) Ar: ok, the laugh was unnecessary. P1: yes, but it sounded cool! Anyway! Hera is inside the unstable house. Yes, that's right, it's unstable! Z: we knew that already. P1: dang, it's a better effect when you don't. BUT! If you do one thing against my will, I'll pull this wire and have the whole house topple down on her! Ar: yeah good luck with that. Pull it. Z: what! No! Ar: fine. I will. Artemis pulls it and nothing happens P1: what!? But..? Ar: please, like that rigging would EVER work! You got it all hooked up wrong! P1: fine! I'll hit it down! Hits wall over and over but nothing happens Ar: ok that's sad. H: like this? Hera touches the house and it falls over P1: but..? How..? Z: you, my enemy, need to work out. P1: how did you get out!? H: dude, I can make balls of energy. Need I say more? Ar: you are by far the worst enemy I've ever fought. Lets go guys. P1: I can't let you leave! Ar: I think you can. (Raises bow) P1: change of plans. I think I'll be going now. Ar: I thought so. Zeus pulls out note H: what is that? Z: I don't know. Athena dropped it. Ar: read it. Z: ok, it says 'Artemis's arrow will end it, one will win, find out who we are up against, find our friends ??? Unsure, the fight will end/the world will end.' H: the prophesy! Ar: what? H: Dean, your cousin! Athena was trying to figure out the prophesy! Z: of course! Artemis, your arrow will end the war, for good or for bad. One team will win, titans or us, it all makes sense! Ar: but it's irrelevant. Right now we need to find out... H: I think our answer is coming. Catch! Hera blacks out Ar: she's our portable spy! Z: a cute portable spy! Blackout Kronos: I still don't get why we don't just go after Zeus's bolt. Creek: blind fool! We are! We need all the other weapons to get it! Kronos: then why do we have this necklace? Creek: that IS the weapon you fool! Kronos: it looks like a... Blackout Hera moves to a different place H: what the..? Where am I? At: hello? P: is it working yet? Ares: if we knew that, we would tell you. H: Athena? Ares? Posident? A: Hera! At: see! I told you it would work! Calculating the pattern of the blackouts with the... Ares: ANYWAY! It turns out, we are only under his control when the want us to. Otherwise we just can't move. A: we don't have time. Hera, they're after you next. At: I left you the list. Go there. We are breaking up! P: we were never together! And nobody EVER breaks up with me! At: I wasn't talking to you! I was... Blackout Z: you up? H: it's me next. Zeus, the paper with the locations? Z: oh! Yeah! Here. H: A church called St. Mary's. Near here. Ar: let's go. Z: we can't just walk down there! Ar: why not? Z: haven't you seen the news? Ar: no, sorry. Been kind of busy, you know, FINDING THE WEAPONS! Z: we're all over the news! H: cool! Z: our parents have the police after us! H: not cool. Kim walks up Kim: perhaps I could assist you! Ar: Kim! H: where have you been? Kim: that school you go to has an AMAZING 3rd grade party! Z: I thought, oh, never mind. Can you help us not get, you know. Kim: violently pulled by a police officer to jail while your screaming and slowly, painfully, die as the titans destroy your weapons? Z: you know, I was just thinking being sent to Jail. Kim: newbies are no fun, but yes, yes I can. Ar: can you help my cousin Dean? Kim: yes I can. H: can you help us find St. Mary's? Kim: what am I? Your slave? Jeez! Z: if you are you're fired. Kim: ok, first, you don’t fire a slave, and second, to get around the police, you will need this. Z: what is it? Kim: an elephant. H: what? Kim: (bursts out laughing) I've always wanted to say that! Ar: ok... Moving on! Kim: no sense of humor. It's a smoke bomb. Z: that's it? A smoke bomb? Kim: take it or leave it! H: fine. Whatever. Thanks for all the help. That's what we get for asking a 3rd grader for help! Kim: why you! Olympians run off Blackout In parking lot of St Ms Z: man, no police here! It took us a good hour outrun that other gang! H: no kidding! Lets go in. Blackout Inside Ar: can you feel anything? It would feel like you are being drawn there. H: ok, this way! Talk while walking down hallway Z: ok, after we get this one we have to go to... Man it's like they wanted to hide all the weapons in MN! It's in a park called Commings Park. Near here! Just a couple miles! H: OH! I forgot! I talk to Ares, Poseidon, Aphro, and Athena in my last black out! Ar: and you just happened to forget this? Z: it ok, what did they say? Is Poseidon ok? H: yeah. They're all fine. Z: good. H: here! I feel it! Down there! Run down and see septer Ar: wow! Z: cool! Hera picks it up H: wow. I feel whole! Ar: I know right! Z: wow! Waita let me feel left out! H: we have to get to Commings Park! Fast! Oh, maybe not so fast. Catch me. Blackout Kronos: they might have gotten the septer, but we will be waiting for them at the part! Creek: good. Very good... Black out H: wow. Short! Z: no kidding! Ar: well? H: the park. They're waiting for us. We got yo move fast and avoid the police. Man, when I get home, my mom will ground me for, like, ever! Ar: no kidding! Z: I wonder if they'll believe that I'm actually the Olympian Zeus... Black out Walking up the trail to the park Z: man, I hope we aren't to late! Ar: and yet, here we are, walking. Start running until get to the big hill Ar: it's right up this hill. H: how do you.. Hunter. Right. Ar: if I make it out of this, I swear I'm going to make a group of immortals to be my hunters like in the Percy Jackson books. Z: good luck with that. H: we're too late! Z: but they haven't taken my bolt yet. H: they need all of them in order to get yours. Someone in my blackout said that. Kronos. Ar: well, it's now or never. H: here we go! Walk up to the hill and meet titans. Creek is behind the titans out of view Z: Kronos! Rachel: they're right. You DO look stupid. Kronos: present! Why hello Zeus. Nice that you talk to me first! Z: of course! Your the leader. Creek comes out Creek: that bumbling fool couldn't lead a pack of fish! No, I'm the leader. Z: it’s a school of fish. Creek and Zeus have a little argument Ar: Creek! Z: mind blown. Z: by the way, it’s a school of fish. Creek and Zeus have a little argument Creek: let's get on with this. Hand over the septer and bow and we will let you live. H: you've always been a bad liar Creek. C: ha! And yet I gave them! Poseidon, Ares, Aphro, and Athena come out Zeus: guys! Poseidon! P: hi bro! No! Don't talk! Stay in! Tickles! A: yes, you've covered that about a thousand times. You don't come out! No exceptions for love! Say what you want. Ar: you ok? Ares: fine. Athena would talk, but she had another idea. NO TALKING! ANYONE! Whatever. Z: if this weren't a life or death situation, this would be quite funny! Creek: are you going to hand the weapons over or are we going to have to fight for them? Hera: hold that thought. Catch. Z: what the..? But there right here! Hera pops up behind them and hits Kronos over the head then wakes up C: what the..? What was that? Hera: random trick. Creek: right. ATTACK! A fight breaks out but the captured Olympians are just standing there unable to do anything while their weapons or being held by the titans Z: try to get the weapons! Fight and get trident as soon as it gets into the hands of an Olympian Poseidon went free and began to fight Z: catch! (Throughs trident) P: thanks bro! Makes bubbles and instantly Layla, Joey, Rachel, and Alice get distracted by them. Eventually gets all weapons, improvise to get them. Try to be funny Creek: you may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war! Ar: get out of here witch. Artemis shoots arrow and all the titans disappear into thin air At: we actually did it! Z: man, if we weren't on the wanted list, I would think it suitable to get a pizza. P: wanted? What for? Did Camp Cope find out I took two pieces of pizza instead of one last year! I'm sorry! Kim walks in Kim: no, and, pizza is covered! Kim puts down a pizza Ares: you rock Kim! Talk as they eat A: so, that's the last we'll see them right? We can enjoy immortality? Kim: not so much. There a reason your immortal. They are too. They'll be back, Creek will be mad. At: well, on that pleasant thought, how are we support to explain this to our parents? They'll flip. They'll never believe the truth. Kim: oh, they will. Just turn yourselves in to the police and say you we're kidnapped. I'll get all your parents to meet you at Aphrodite's house. Alone. H: thanks Kim. Your the best! Kim: no prob! Black out At the front door of Aphros house Z: this is it. The truth. Ares: yep. This is new to me. Opens door A: hi... They are engulfed with hugs P1: they told us you were kidnaped! H: um, mom... P2: we were soo worried! Z: dad... P1: it's soo good to... Ares: SHUT UP EVERYONE AND LET ZEUS TALK! P1: Ares! Zeus: please? P3: ok. Z: look, we weren't kidnaped. Don't talk 'till we're done. Please. Look, we are the Olympians, like from Greek mythology. STOP! Don't talk let me Finish. This is Kim. A: Kim is an oracle. Oh, don't mention her age. She came and told us. We're sort immortals with epic super powers. All take out their weapons P1: SPEARS IN MY HOUSE! P: this is a trident. I think. That or a toaster. I those mixed up. At: ok, then. Anyway. You know Creek and her gang at school? They're Titans. P2: this is crazy talk! At: crazy as this?

Ar: shut up. P1: this is a lot to take in... Z: welcome to our world. Blackout Zoom out on the house A: so, yeah, that's how it started, but if you think that this is the end, you are wrong. The adventure has just begun. And... Hey! Ares! Get back here that mic!
