Chapter Three

Mission

"At the throne room of the Imperial Kingdom, a soldier walked in.

"Your Grace," said the soldier bowing his head as a sign of respect to the king and queen.

"Speak," the king said, authority is can be heard on his voice.

"There was an outbreak occurred on the country where Prince Zeus is located," he said still bowing his head.

"WHAT?!!" the queen screamed worrying for the safety of their firstborn child.

"What happened? Why did he fail his mission?" Ask the king.

"It looks like, one of the test subjects break out of its enclosure and bitten one of the staff of the psychotic scientist and infect everyone. Chaos is all around the country, your Highness." The soldier explains.

The royal couple didn't have the chance to react when the colossal double door burst open revealing, General William. He was holding a device and rushes to them to give the device to King Hades.

"Your Highnesses, the Prince is on the line and wants to speak to you privately," Gen. William Inform them.

The king took the device on General William's hand and dismiss everyone.

"What happened, Zeus?!!" King Hades asked Zeus with a serious tone in his voice.

"I'm sorry Dad, I failed my mission. The whole Philippines are in great chaos, infected people were turned to be undead. That son of a b*tch of a doctor was creating a monstrosity, I found out that he wanted to destroy the seven continents and create an army to invade the Imperial kingdom." Zeus reported.

"What?!! How did he know about our existence? Does he know our location?" Queen Hestia asked interfering her husband and son's conversation. There is nothing wrong with that, she's the Queen after all.

"No, Mom. He does not know where is the exact location but he knows about us because he is the great-great-grandson of King Ramon, the ambitious king centuries ago.

"That explains it," Queen Hestia said as a response.

"Mom, Dad, me and my friends are stuck here, we need someone to help us get out of this chaos, can you guys send someone to fetch us here?" Zeus asked.

"well, of course, my son, we'll send someone there immediately. Now, don't lose your necklace because that

is only the thing we can use to track you." King Hades said to Zeus.

"I will Dad, by the way, where's Hera?" Zeus asked, looking for his sister.

"Oh, your sister is in the forest, hunting with some soldiers." Zeus' father said to him smirking.

"What?! You guys are allowing her to hunt at the forest! What the hell?! She's only 16 why the hell you guys are allowing her to do that dangerous work?!" Zeus shouted in disbelief, he was worried because his sister is still young and already hunting, but that is not the real reason, he was a little jealous because their parents didn't allow him to hunt when he is eighteen yet they allowed her to hunt when she's sixteen, freaking sixteen years old!! However, he still loves his dear sister even when his parents are spoiling her because even he spoils her.

"We had a bet and she won so as a result, I permit her to hunt, but she will be having some escort, as what we agreed," His father said then grunted, and Queen Hestia began to laugh so hard she even shed a single tear on her eyes.

"Pfft, this childish old man beside me mocked our combat skills so your dear lovely sister bit him to a pulp.

Ha! what a scene, you should have seen it, son, your father was bedridden for two freaking weeks! God! I can't stop watching it again and again," the queen told her son with a chuckle.

"Damn, I wish I saw it, but oh well, I probably watch it when I came home," Zeus said to his mother.

"Tsk, you two are bullying me again," King Hades stated while pouting, but his wife and son only laugh at him.

"Anyways, Well hung up now, Mom and Dad," Zeus told them.

They nodded as a response and Zeus hung up the phone.

One hour later Princess Hera arrived at the castle holding her bow on her left arm and her arrows on her back, she was wearing a green vintage princess coat with black ankle boots, walking to the hallway heading to her parent at the throne room, while the soldiers who escorted her headed into the orphanage where orphan children were brought.

Hera ordered those soldiers to bring the four boar meat so the children can feast with it.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back!" she cheerfully announced to her parents.

"Welcome back dear, so how is your hunt?" Queen Hestia asked her. King Hades was not there and was on a meeting with the army officials, they were discussing who will they send to rescue the prince and his friends.

"It was great actually, I killed four boar and all of them were gigantic in size," she told Queen Hestia. "By the way, mom. Where's Dad? He is usually glued to you all the time?"

"He went on a meeting with the Army officials, they're discussing who will they send to rescue your brother," Queen said, "anyways, where are the meet?"

"I told the soldiers to bring them to the orphanage so the children can feast with the meat, anyway, I'll go to the meeting, bye I'll see you later, mom," Hera said and started to walk heading towards where the meeting was held.

~~*~~

Two days had passed like a blur when Zeus contacted his parents for help. And until now they are waiting for the person his parent's had sent.

"Guys," Zeus called gaining their attention.

"Our current situation is getting more and more dangerous, although, I think there are still students survivors inside the campus," Zeus informs them.

"But how can we survive out there not turning to one of those sons of a b*tch?!" Maximus asked.

"There's only one way," Zeus told them.

"What way?" Gella asked.

"We have to kill or be killed," Maximus uttered.

"Are you kidding me! We're not murderers so why on earth are we going to do that?!!" Sarah blurted out.

"Hon, listen to me, that's the only way for us to survive, and to save other people." Denver explains, "We don't have a choice, they are now undead And all they know to do is to attack humans,"

"B-but..." Sarah was speechless hearing does word from her boyfriend.

"Shhh, don't be sad I'm always here for you, I promise to not leave you," Denver said to Sarah and hugged her tenderly.

"Don't push yourselves guys, I can give you until tomorrow to decide, no matter what you guys decide, I will respect it," Zeus announced, " I'm going outside tomorrow to look for survivors, It's up to you guys if you want to come or not."

"But, how about the person your parents sent to fetch us, will that person know where you at if we leave here?" Calista asked him.

"Yeah, I know that person will find me, even if we move places," he assured her.

"By the way, Zeus. Do you know who is the person your parent's sent?" She asked. While their friends are listening to their conversation.

"No, they did not tell me," he replied.

~~*~~

On the other part of the country, a black tinted combat car emerge from the sea and the lady driving it was so excited she forgot to inform her brother that she was the one rescuing them.

"Just wait for a little longer, big brother, your gorgeous and lovely little sister is coming to rescue your ass,"
