Pandora's Box - Part One
Joey's eyes opened, too see a beautiful night sky, the stars shining forming beautiful constellations.
"Stranger from the outside" Thomas exclaims. Rebecca suppresses a laugh from that one.
Before Joey could even say a word, a swift punch connects to Joey's jaw.
"Oomph" Joey noises. He looks up to see the person who punches him. It was Liza and Safiya. Liza and Safiya!
Safiya wore a traditional dress with an Ancient Greek design, a gold piece of clothing holding it all together. Her hair was held together by a simple flower crown. Around her waist was a tool belt, but instead it held vials of potions.
Liza's outfit was completely different. Ancient Greek armor that shone in the dark. A brown cloth with a green stripe covered her back and her left shoulder pinned down by a gold pin. A shield was tied behind her back. The small brown girl's sword, however, was pointed under Joey's neck.
"What are you doing here?" Liza questioned Joey, suspicion danced in her eyes.
Liza, The Hero: Excuse me sir, why is this man here? What?
Joey, The Savant: Why is Liza holding a sword to my neck? I don't like this! I thought she would be happy to see me! Weren't we friends?
Liza was overwhelmed with emotions. Suspicion, sadness, hurt.
Betrayed.
"What the heck do you mean?" Joey asked. He was really confused now. Why was Liza mad at me? I thought I freed her and Safiya? Who are these other people?
Liza sheathed her sword. She was still hurt by Joey, but she would have to stab him later. The others were still here.
"So you guys have history..." Mac commented.
Mac, or Mac Does it, wore a purple tunic with a gold collar and blue belt. A red and gold cloth draped around his arms and fell to his legs. A gold crown rested atop his head, his straight (lol) hair combed back. The YouTuber tapped anxiously on the golden staff that he held
More YouTubers were behind him. All the Savant barely recognized, but didn't know personally. Ally Hills, for one. She wore white tunic with a red stripe and a laurel crown.
Thomas Sanders, the vine dude. A blue toga either Ancient Greek designs and a green cape draped over on his left side. He held a golden harp, with vines wrapped around the strings.
He knew Mac, he knew James, and he knew Jaiden, but everyone else was a stranger. He looked around at these new faces.
"Not fair! Why does he get to wear that!" An Asian girl yelled. Her arms lugged an Ancient Greek helmet, freeing her wavy purple hair. Her armor shined, the gold reflecting the light from the stars. She looked like a Greek Warrior, but without the bloodiness and gore and stuff.
Mari, The Warrior: Why does he get to wear that? I have to wear this heavy armor and he gets to wear comfortable clothes? Not fair.
Joey looked down to his clothes. His Society Against Evil outfit. Brown leather jacket, a dark blue sweater vest, round glasses, a red necktie, brown boots, and khaki pants.
"Who even are you?" A buff, blue haired man asks. They all took a step closer to me, examining me.
"He's wearing round glasses, maybe he's Harry Potter!" Thomas replies. Mutters of agreement are shared amongst their group.
"He's clearly not Harry Potter, Thomas." A girl said. Joey couldn't see her, but silently thanked her.
Damien, The Playwright : I'm getting pretty tired of this. I'm confused, scared, and tired. I just want answers .
"First of, he's not Harry Potter." Safiya said. Safiya held a hand out, to pick me from the ground. The Savant gratefully accept it. As soon as Joey stands, Safiya backs up a little.
"This? This is Joey Graceffa." Liza said, waving her sword at Joey's face. He backed up, not wanting to get sliced up.
"Oh! The dude who does Minecraft videos and totally not known for any other projects, like say a TV show!" James exclaims. 'Ohhs' and 'Ahs' are said.
"Yup." Joey said, confirming he has no TV show built around this entire boo- SCENE. SCENE. There is NO book.
"What is he doing here?" Jaiden asks. Liza and Safiya look to Joey.
"What are you doing here?" Liza said, raising an eyebrow.
Thomas, The Singer: I don't know these people. I know Mac, and Joey, and Liza, and Jaiden and James, but I don't know the rest of these people, I just got here? Where are my friends? Joan, Talyn, Camden, Dominic?
Joey suck in his breath. "Well you're gonna have to sit down, it's a very long story." He said, stretching out the very.
They sat down. Some in the dirt, some in tree stumps in the dark forest that they were in, and some stayed standing.
"Now, this is the story all about how my life turned got flipped turned upside down-." Joey starts.
"Are you quoting 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air'?" Thomas asks, suppressing a laugh.
Joey nodded. Safiya face palmed.
Safiya, The Apothecary : I'm gonna have to take care of these people, aren't I?
Like a flash, a bright light surrounded the YouTubers. A bright green one, and an orange one. The green one was harsher than the orange one.
"I'm going towards the light!" Jaiden announces.
"Don't go towards the light!" James exclaims. Jaiden hits his harm.
"We're already dead! And it's not that kind of light!" Jaiden says playfully.
"Indeed it's not"
Mac, The King: I'm thinking "Ooh sis. This is where we die, ain't it?" But like, I'm okay with that.
Liza unsheathes her sword, but it's flown out of her hands.
A small girl, wearing a tattered black robe. Her eyes glowed like fire. But it was a good kind of fire. Calm, controlled, warm. Warmth wrapped around Liza like a comfortable blanket.
The other girl was clearly a queen. Regal white and gold robes, a crown with one peacock feather, and a staff with a lotus flower. She looked more scary, intimidating, like she owned the world. Her eyes flowed with power. Uncontrollable power.
They both looked liked forces to be reckoned with. Dangerous, holding back power that the YouTubers could not imagine.
"YouTubers, you are in great danger!" The queen announced.
Mac, the King: Well, shit.
The girl in the robe began to speak. "I am Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. This is my little sister, Hera".
Hera glared a little at Hestia before she spoke. "Yes, I am Hera, you probably know us, and we need your help."
Liza, The Hero: Here. We. Go. Again.
Safiya, The Apothecary: Last time I helped try to save someone, I died. I don't want to die again.
"Fine, I'll bite. What do you need?" Liza said bitterly.
Hera rolled her eyes. "We need to kill a monster. Well, two." She said.
Mac, The King: I'm sorry, what? Monster? Nope. Nope. You know what happens to the black guy. The black guy always dies.
Hera clears her throat. "We already have a head start. We have this dagger. One of you just needs to stab it."
Mac speaks "sTab?".
Mac, The King: sTaB?!
Hestia looks at him with a look of concern. "Yes, stab.".
The YouTubers murmur. Thomas speaks for the entire group. "Okay, but why us? Why do we have to do it and you guys are like gods."
Joey, The Savant: He has a point, but we have to do it. It's not like we have a choice.
Hera inhales, annoyed. "Mortals." She murmurs to the hearth goddess.
Hestia looks at the group and back at Hestia. "I don't know. I find them quite amusing." Hera rolled her eyes at that.
"The cursed goddess removed a large chunk of our essence." Hera says, her eyes glowed with rage.
Safiya, The Apothecary: Goddess? I thought it was a god.
"Goddess?" Joey questioned.
Hestia nodded. "If you can help us get back at her, we can get you out."
"If you can help escape my brothers and sisters, we can set you out. All the Olympian's powers can help you escape. We get our powers back, you can escape. Deal?" Hera explains.
Hestia's hand holds out to the group. "You have to swear on the River Styx, that you will help us get our powers back, and we will get you out." Hestia explains clearly.
Joey holds his hand out and shakes the goddess's hand.
"I, Joey Graceffa, and my group swear to the River Styx to help the Olympians get their godly powers back, and in return, they get us out of here and back to our homes." Joey says.
"I, Hestia, and Hera swear to the River Styx to help Joey and his group escape Pandora's box and return to their homes, in return they help us get our godly powers back." Hestia announces.
Hestia's hand bursts into blue flames, and quickly burn out. The swear is done.
"So now, how do we help you guys?" Liza asks.
"Four of you must help kill my and Hestia's monsters." Hera answers.
"I'm sorry monsters?" Rebecca speaks for the first time.
"Yup. We just need to find them." Hestia says.
A flap of wings and a caw, a giant eagle with a medallion with a logo of fire attack the group, grabbing Liza.
"Found it." Hera announces nonchalantly
"Not again!" Liza shrieks, as the Eagle moves to grab another one of them.
Liza, the Hero: How long must I keep getting kidnapped by scary birds that want to kill me to catch a break. How?
"Scatter!" Hestia says, throwing a fireball at the beast.
