Puggers and the Fight with Zeus
By Woohyun Suh
While on Earth, the sky looked a little too dark in Ancient Greece, because usually it is very bright and pleasant. That is what Felix Kjellberg and Puggers Kenway thought, while they were lying on the cool green grass with their little lovable pug bodies. Then they noticed it wasn’t the sky, it was a huge shadow! The two pugs were terrified, because they saw what that shadow came from. It was Zeus, the lord of Mount Olympus! He had clear brown eyes and a ponderous grey beard. Puggers didn’t know why, but a light was coming towards them. It was a lightning bolt aiming for the pugs! Scared Puggers barrel rolled in time, but it was too late for Felix… Puggers saw Felix’s black furred body disappear as the hazardous lightning bolt clashed into him.
He yelled,” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!”
He was so mad at Zeus, if he had powers, Puggers would cut him into pieces and feed them to his pet tiger. That pug was like a wolf that was missing his chance of eating.
After that, Zeus and his weird, four armed sidekick, Logan from Planet Zang, decided that they had the power to rule Earth.
Zeus looked at Logan, and said,” Let’s do this!”
Zeus used his lightning bolts to take over Earth, and Logan used his laser-shooting hands to help Zeus rule Earth. They were both doing great at what they wanted to do. In this case, that was a bad thing.
Everyone was screaming and yelling,” Help!!!”
They were all terrified of the new visitors. Zeus and Logan were crashing, or breaking everything. There was no one to help them, unless a nice god shows up.
Zeus treated Logan way more terrible than he actually deserves for helping him in something like that,” Break everything that you see, or you die!”
Logan just looked down and did what his master said.
At the same time that was happening, Dionysus was giving Hebe way too much wine at her house, until finally, she got drunk. The second she turned drunk, she jumped out the window of her house with her cup of powers and ran. She fell out of Mount Olympus and head-butted the ground of Earth. Crazy Hebe still ran straight forward. Unfortunately, Puggers was in Hebes’ path! Puggers and Hebe collided into each other.
“Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!” Puggers yelled, not knowing what had hit him.
Cold liquid splattered his whole body. He then, realized everything, like a smart man noticing he did his math wrong. Puggers got hit by a drunk Hebe, and the powerful cup that she was holding, got all over him. He noticed the cup somewhere… it was the cup that gives people powers! The second he found that idea, he started to fly! He was going to yell the second time, but fire came out instead!
“Time to punish Zeus!” Puggers said excitedly.
He heard a loud noise coming from… Zeus! He then found out that Zeus was taking over Earth.
Logan was thinking of something,” If he approached silently enough, he could kill Zeus and take over for himself!”
It was a hard decision for Logan. He thought about it over and over, until he knew this jealousy would be worse.
“What are you doing, sitting on a chair and reading?” Zeus hollered out to Logan.
Feeling something warm as he said that, his hair was on fire! Logan too, was surprised. Zeus looked at where that came from. It was the tiny pug that he thought he killed!
Zeus screamed,” I thought I killed you!”
Puggers flew away with Zeus following him. Puggers did this to make him get away from the town that he was wrecking. And during that moment, Logan was just standing there, trying to make his decision.
Puggers got hit with the lightning bolt, but breathed fire for defense.
“Stop!” Zeus demanded.
But just when Zeus was going to strike Puggers with a lightning bolt, two lasers went through him. Everyone was shocked, even Puggers. It was Logan! He finally chose his decision… to rule Earth himself.
“Why Logan, why?” Zeus asked as he was about to die.
Logan answered,” Because you were treating me horribly!*and I also want to rule Earth*”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
In the middle of all that confusion, ‘What’ was Zeus’ last word before he died dramatically?
Confusingly, Logan was now the one Puggers had to defeat in order to save Earth. Logan hit and broke everything. He also made the poor humans bow down to him as he took their houses from them. Puggers tried to stop him, but he was too weak alone. Logan put Puggers in a heat- resistant cage so there was nothing to stop him.
“You can never defeat me!” Logan said.
Everyone was scared of Logan and his four arms. Mostly because it shot lasers that can break a 90 pound diamond. He was the new ruler of Earth. Logan also had a sweet mustache that talked for him. Puggers looked at Logan as he was ruining the whole world.
“There’s got to be something I can do!” Puggers thought.
Then, he thought of a brilliant idea. Puggers just remembered that he has a pet flying tigercorn.
He yelled,” Woohyun!”
Puggers waited for a moment, then he saw his pet tigercorn’s horn! He then saw the whole body of his pet! Woohyun was flying full speed at Puggers.
“Help me!” Puggers said.
Woohyun used his horn to make the cage disappear. Logan was shocked at what just happened, because he didn’t know Puggers had an extra helper. Puggers and Woohyun started attacking right then, so Logan didn’t wreck anything else.
Logan screamed,” This is madness!”
Puggers and Woohyun both tackled Logan. Logan was about to disintegrate the two, but Woohyun knew what was going to happen. He made a giant fist made by magical powers, and punched Logan straight in the face before Logan killed them.
“Great job!” Puggers complimented Woohyun.
For the final blast, Puggers breathed fire to Logan. The two were two powerful. The horrible alien retreated back to Planet Zang.
“Oh no! They are too awesome for me! Retreat!!!”
While Logan was retreating, his tail smacked Puggers’ nose.
“Owww! My nose!” Puggers said, like a boxer getting hit by his opponent.
On that adventure, his nose turned short and never became long again. Also, Hebe became normal and drained all the power that Puggers had, back into her cup. Puggers didn’t really care, because he liked being a normal pug.
Zeus and Laverna
By Jordan T.
The beginning of the world was ages ago, life as we know didn’t exist, until one day the whole world changed. Alas, two children were born, twins actually were born in a small earthy place but one spent more time in the sky. The almighty Zeus was born and a twin sister no one ever knew about, her name was Laverna. Zeus was born a special child, God of all gods. He had powers no one ever thought imaginable, but his sister was a mortal who had no powers. Laverna was angry at the sight of Zeus being the power God he is. The hate of Zeus came from the fact that he had powers and she didn’t. She spent most of her time mourning, and building anger of jealousy for she had no power except the power of deceiving people into thinking she was someone she was not, thinking she was more beautiful than she really was. This was a trait she used to her advantage. Laverna was plotting a war against Zeus. “Mwhaha.” went Laverna when she had the idea of killing her brother.
Laverna wonderstruck people with her beauty. Fake beauty that is. She abused her power of this because she turned people, specifically men into following her army and war she was plotting against Zeus. Jealousy had overtaken the beloved sister Zeus had known. Although she covered it, Laverna was an ugly lady who was upset in others success. She mesmerized the extremely famous and known to the country, Aladdin. Powerful Aladdin was the best fighter the new world had ever known. Some say he could battle the extreme God of war Ares. If Zeus knew, he would be a little afraid to battle the young fighter himself.
In the meantime, Zeus had been developin
g the beautiful Earth many people called their home.
Meanwhile, his sister was talking to Aladdin, “The tough Zeus will see his last after you, Aladdin, battle him off for good. You will be greatly rewarded for your efforts in destroying my brother.” Aladdin nodded his cocky head. Zeus’s messenger God, Hermes got a brief message that Laverna was creating an army against him and his powers. Zeus was as angry as a bear waking up early in hibernation. While Zeus was reading the letter, his fists were clenching and tears pouring out of his eyes for he truly loved his sister and thought of her as a dear friend. Zeus bellowed, “Find a fighter to fight my witch of a sister, I cannot bring myself to fighting her on my own.”
All the gods went searching for a true hero to battle the evil Laverna. The gods knew Laverna's distinct trait of making men following her. “In order to conquer Laverna, we must find a girl hero because she will not be sucked into the madness of Laverna's army, Apollo stated. The gods all agreed with a nod of their heads.
After searching sometime, the gods ran across a young fierce fighter of a girl who they thought was destined to be their new coming hero.
Aphrodite welcomed the girl, “Greetings, young Aiolos we have observed your skill in fighting. Zeus has a deed for you.”
The girl, astonished, said, “The almighty Zeus wants me, where do I go? The gods beckoned her to follow them, into the sky they went carrying the Aiolos.
They arrived to the crisp, lovely mountains of Mt. Olympus where Zeus sat on his throne. Eyes big, and heart beating fast, Aiolos was afraid for she had never been outside her homeland. Zeus grinned with a grin so delighted, they had found their hero. The fright inside Aiolos leaped inside up and down in her stomach.
“As you have heard, I have a job for you. My sister, Laverna, is craving me dead, she is plotting against me and we are going to fight back.” Zeus retorted. Aiolos although terrified, nodded, not knowing what was to become of her. Zeus strongly suggested, “I have a change in hope now that we have Aiolos to help us through this difficult time. You will seek her out and although she may be beautiful in appearance, she has an evil soul. This will be difficult, but if you succeed you will be rewarded greatly.
In the meantime, Laverna sat at her layer waiting until a right time to attack, but what she didn’t know was that she and her army would soon get a surprise of their own.
Aiolos crept deep into the wooded plains to find the evil sister. She was warned by many that Leverna had a power of creating people to follow her because of her terrific beauty. The young Aiolos whispered to herself promising that she would not fall into Laverna’s trap,” I will not fall into the trap and I will convey Zeus’s orders. Aiolos found a cove of darkness, and she could smell the evilness around her. She knew that she had found Laverna's lair. While standing by, Aiolos caught a mere glimpse of a mustardy green hair which quickly turned to a beautiful shade of blonde, so bright, the sun would be jealous. Aiolos saw this trick right before her glassy eyes.
Sensing someone was around, Laverna called out, “Who goes there!” Aiolos knew she was in trouble. Laverna had strode quickly out of the cave her lair sat upon, beauty at its best was standing in front of her. Laverna had made herself into a young looking women with long blonde hair going down to her waist, a beautiful blue gown tied Laverna's beauty altogether. Aiolos was quick witted and knew she could not spare to be tricked.
Aiolos daringly leaped out into the thicket but suddenly was met by Laverna's whole monstrous army of thousands of men. Aiolos didn’t know what to do. Laverna bellowed, “Young girl, you really think you could defeat me?” Aiolos, scared to death, ran and ran, she ran so fast her feet carried her into the air straight to Mount Olympus.
Aphrodite was at the top of the castle, Aiolos had a brilliant idea. She snatched Aphrodite’s hand to follow her. Aphrodite was a stunning goddess who was even more beautiful than Laverna could ever imagine being.
Aiolos lead her down to the army of the awful Laverna where all the mighty men were. The men one by one suddenly came crashing down in a lovesick disease at first glance of the young vibrant Aphrodite, Aphrodite started leading them away while Laverna was turned a nasty shape of green with jealousy. “Her true colors.” Aiolos murmured. Aiolos could taste a plan.
Aiolos took advantage of this while Laverna was busy fuming within her jealousy, Aiolos jumped. She jumped and landed on Leverna with her blade slicing through her. “Shreeeek.” went the sound of Laverna right before her death.
Lightning fast, Laverna, the evil, was down. Aiolos was numb with joy for she had conquered Laverna and had therefore made herself a hero to all, even Zeus himself.
As the hero came back, everyone thundered into applause, young Aiolos had defeated the crazy Leverna. “You have done well young Aiolos, will be rewarded with a token of your bravery,” Zeus said satisfyingly. He handed her a huge beautiful medallion encrusted in gold and bronze. Aiolos was speechless because of the beauty and liveliness of the token of bravery. The hero touched the incrested medallion with care, great honor, and happiness. Aiolos felt very accomplished.
Aiolos often visited Mount Olympus and was always greeted with warm, reassuring smiles from all the gods. Aiolos was a hero to all, if she had not used her mind so brightly the people would still be living with the thought of a monstrous women. The people of the world would no longer have to be tricked and hurt through Laverna any longer. To Aiolos, we give thanks.
As for Laverna, Zeus still loved his sister and would always remember her, but to remind him more often, the moon was created in memory of Laverna. The moon was a symbol of Laverna because it shown in people’s darkness and hid from people’s light, just like Laverna shown in other people’s failures and hid, from people success. When generations pass on they will look up at night and see the beauty of the moon, but they first generation of the world would know that the moon symbolized evil Laverna’s desperate beauty.
