Warriors Of Olympus II by C.W. Benson (best beach reads of all time .txt) 📖

the shock from the arrow made me leap onto my back. Everyone screamed. I tried to breathe but know air came in or out. I fainted. When I woke up, I was in the hospital wearing my suit. I saw a crowd of people surrounding one bed so I leapt up and went over. When I got there, I gasped. Kaine was lying there shaking and coughing. “ No!” I screamed. A nurse came over to me. “ you should lie down sir.” she said. I started sobbing. “ is he going to be OK?” I asked. The nurse looked nervous. “ we don't know yet.” she replied. I ran out into the village to find Zeus. I bumped into JJ wearing his costume. “ do you know where Zeus is?” I asked him. He grabbed my hand and led me to him. When I found him, he was sitting with a boy who was holding a bow and arrow.
“ what was you doing practising inside? You may have killed Kaine!” he said. I gasped. “ it was you?” I said. He smiled. “ nice to meet you. I'm Larpian Greene.” he replied. I jumped on him and pulled out my sword.
“ you might have killed my friend by practising with your stupid bow and arrow!” I screamed. My friends pulled me off him. I ran out of the the building and went home to Aphria and Hefton. When I pulled open the front door, they came up to and hugged me. “ what happened?” they said. I sobbed. “ some idiot shot my best friend!” I said. They pulled me in and wrapped a blanket round me. They called Zeus to tell him I was here. Zeus came over and started talking to me. “ if you come back, I tell you something about your enemy that no other member of your team knows about.” he said. I sniffled. “ really?” I asked. He nodded and grabbed my hand. Next thing I know, I’m back in Olympus. “ Kaine is OK.” Zeus said. I suddenly felt much happier. He took me down to a dark ally. “ these Ghepisians that you're going to face. They weren't actually born on Ghepis. They were made. They were created by the actual enemy. The Greek monsters. They can disguise themselves as any Organisms. There are so many that they could be anywhere right now. Even here. They were first made back in 293 AD to do the dirty work for the Monsters after they lost the war the first SkyWar. They were all killed by the Five Harson Soldiers. They were like the Warriors Of Olympus of their day. It was not until 468 AD that we realised that there were a surviving race of Ghepisians. But we also didn't realise that there were many more being created all the time on Ghepis Island. There are many more of these things. But no one knows as it's a cover-up. Everyone in Fastuos is being trained to be part of the Olympian army led by you and your team. Most of these people are demigods but you and your team are full gods. You can't tell the others as they will freak out.” he explained. I shook with fear. I knew a secret that no one else knew. I was still a little mad about what Larpian did. When I started to speak to him, we started to get along. Kaine was out of hospital 3 weeks later. While he was away, we all learnt to control our abilities. I studied my plant abilities while JJ perfected his animal powers. The unfair thing with him is that every animal he turns into is also missing an arm. Jathus learnt how to throw his daggers with ultimate perfection. He could also create every weapon he could think up. Sometimes he just did it to wind me up. Larpian could now hit a target from 170m away. Kaine could now destroy something just by looking at it by practising at the hospital. He still had trouble with plastic. We were all ready to go and fight the Ghepisians. All except one of us. Me and Kaine we sitting in my House in Fastuos. All of a sudden, he started shaking. He fell to the floor and coughed up some blood. “ no!” I screamed. I picked him up and ran him to the hospital. He had to be put in intensive care. They said I wouldn't be able to see him until his family have been to see him first. We had planned to go and fight the Ghepisians that Friday but it had to be delayed for a few weeks. It was two weeks later and me, JJ, Jathus and Larpian were sitting with Zeus. We heard a knock at the door. I ran to see who it was and when I opened it, I gasped. Kaine was sitting in a wheelchair with a nurse pushing him around. I fell to my knees. One of my team members was now a paraplegic. All because of one boy and his Arrow. I went home and thought about what was going to happen now. The next couple of weeks were the hardest yet. Everyone was now OK with Kaine in a wheelchair but he still had trouble in training. He was still going into battle. He got an extension which meant that he could control his wheelchair with his mind while he used his hands to control his nunchuks. Zeus came to knock on my door the next day. I was wearing my armour. When I opened it, he looked down. “ it's happened.” he said. I let him in. “ the good news is that Fastuos village isn't a village any more. It's so large and unconnected to any other places that it is now classified as Fastuos Island. The bad news is that there's a special sea know as the Zonian Ocean. The group of islands known as the Freedom Islands are found here. One of the Freedom Islands is Ghepis, the home of the Ghepisians. They have teamed up with with the Frossixes from the island of Fross. They look just like the Ghepisians but with blue skin and sharper teeth. This means that your team will have to face both Species instead of just one of them.” he told me. All of a sudden, the door burst open and a squad of Ghepisians and Frossixes were armed and ready for battle.

I grabbed my sword and went for one of their necks. “ how did they find us?” I asked. Zeus ignored me. One of them grabbed me and ripped right through my armour. Zeus pulled out his Lighting Bolt and sent the monsters away in a storm. “ gather the others. We need to get away.” he said. I went to knock on their doors and told them what happened. When I had found JJ, Jathus and Larpian, I went looking for Kaine. I searched at his house, his friends house and the battlefield but he was nowhere to be found. I went back to find Zeus and the others. When I found them, they were on a boat. “ I think they've taken Kaine with them.” I told them. Zeus shook. “ we need to leave now!” he said in a booming voice. We set sail. “ where are we going?” I asked Zeus. He sighed.
“ Scorsa Island. It's your safe house for now.” he replied. The journey took a couple of hours. When we got there, we were greeted by a teenager wearing a white lab coat. “ hello Warriors. I'm Surge. Has it happened Zeus?” he said. Zeus nodded. He guided us to the middle of the Island. “ here we are.” he said. I was looking at nothing. He grabbed my hand and dragged me into the centre of the nothingness I was looking at. “ close your eyes.” he said. I did what he told me. He dragged me a little bit further. “ open them.” I opened my eyes and I was standing in a huge science lab. “ Whoa!” I screamed. Everyone suddenly walked through the walls. “ invisible to the naked eye and all radars.” said Surge. “ you are going to hide here until we know it's safe.” I walked around with my mouth open in shock. “ how long do we have to stay here?” said Jathus. “ until your Second suits are finished. Since your old suits are useless against your enemies, the new ones will be made of Cronium Garsitode AKA Deconite, The hardest substance known to anything except mankind. Carsovite was the second hardest substance. Deconite is also highly poisonous to all Zonian Lifeforms. They have something in their blood called Exapin which, when introduced to Deconite, causes all surrounding molecules to explode at once.” he replied. I was stunned. All around me was the latest hi-tech Gadgets. But, one by one, we all stared in amazement at one thing. It was a Multi-bladed, diamond encrusted Mechanical Sword. It was a dark shade of gold with bronze highlights. “ I Want it.” I said, sounding really selfish. We all tried to grab for it until it exploded in a flash of light. We all opened our eyes and we had New staffs, daggers, longbows, nunchuks and swords. There was even an unowned belt with a row of ninja stars on it. Zeus smiled. “ Surge?” he said. Surge gasped. “Really?” he replied. Zeus nodded. I helped him put it on. The time we spent at the hide out was amazing. We practised and practised until we had perfected our skills. One day, I noticed some words carved into my sword. They read The only way to win the war is to lose yourself trying. I asked Zeus what the words meant. “ Um, nothing.” he replied. The next day, Surge got a message through on his computer. “ it's from Poseidon. It says Fastuos Island has been destroyed and both of the races have been wiped out. We are free to return whenever we want.” he said. I somehow didn't want to leave. Once our suits were finished, Surge had something to announce. “ I have something for each of you. It's a teleporter. It can store up to fifteen destinations for you to transport to whenever you want.” he said. There was nothing more exciting than teleporting. We all packed our bags and typed Fastuos Island into our teleporters. I was still very curious about what those words meant. Zeus would have told me if they meant anything. Right? When we got there, I started to unpack my bags. I looked up and started to cry. Poseidon and the other Olympians were hanging up with Ghepisians and Frossixes surrounding them. “ so you got our message.” one of them said. We all grabbed our weapons and lunged for the foul beasts. Some of the others
