Zeus followed Chris to Cassie's dorm. When they got there he saw the note left on her door and read it.
"Don't worry about Achilles... he needs some time to himself but he will be back when he is ready.."
Zeus then entered Cassandra's room... he could feel the trail of her energy. He then looked at Billy and Chris.
"Are the two of you ready?"

Yes, sir.
*Chris nodded. Cassie went through hell to save him. He'd do the same for her.*
Thank you, sir. I'll make sure she comes home safe. No matter what.

With that Zeus opens up a portal that swallows the two boys whole and then closes.. When the boys awaken they find themselves in one of the slave communities under the control of New Cronus. Surrounded by aliens who had orange skin and the same species as Kori.

Billy subconsciously scoots closer to Chris and whispers.
"You know, I had a dream like this once. Scary thing is Mister Hellstrom was wearing that exact same outfit!"

Professor Dee nodded to Hartley’s words as he was going from place to place in the Choir Room, setting up stands, and preparing music sheets, as well as flipping a few switches…and revealing an awe-striking amount of stylized musical equipment, from straight on instruments with vast modifications and alterations made to them, such as to convert many standard non-electric instruments to look like something out of Tron (once more, with green and purple colors), as well as synthesizer and modification hardware that looked so intricate and hybridized it was beyond top of the line, but made to simulate a retro aesthetic, but provided by a man who sometimes styles himself out from the 30s/40s, this was no shocker.
“Doctor Quinzel means well, but I’m afraid with all that’s been going on, some confusion IS to be expected, but no matter. This school is in need of some desperate stimulation, and that’s what we’re setting out to do, Mr.Rathaway!”
Spinning back and smiling at Hartley, Professor Dee wagged a finger at him.
“Oh, don’t put yourself down like that, Mr.Rathaway, do you mind if I call you Hartley? Hartley…I’m in need of musicians as much as in need of singers. From what I’ve heard from the staff, you’re quite a tinkered, much like myself, in terms of music and instruments…and that’s why I think you’d make a welcomed addition to the group! Please, come over here, I think of anyone in the school, you’d be one to appreciate some of my inventions…though, I really need to start labeling these things sometimes…sometimes one of the works of my genius from BEFORE I went into teaching slips into things and well…we don’t really have the budget to replace ceilings, at the moment…”
He cleared his throat, and went on with a slight tinge to his cheeks. Collected one of the sheets, he offered it to Hartley.
“Here, this is what we’ll be doing today. Normally, we practice with several songs, but to get the group’s hearts and spirits up, I’m proposing we do a mass mash-up, with a lot of songs that each member will certainly enjoy. If you’d like to participate this session, we’d certainly appreciate it but if not, then that’s alright too. Glee Club is about having fun and just, enjoying the music. If you have to force people into it, then, wheres the spirit, the emotion, the freedom of the musical note…?”
He stood there, staring into the distance a bit…but turned his head as the door swung open, and rolled his eyes as Michael Carter and Theodore Kord walked in, currently in another argument over something, looking somewhat out of place with one another: Michael in his blue and gold football jersey while Ted was more of a A.V. Club member, pushing back his yellow tinted glasses.
“Come on, Ted, I’m telling you, I saw giant turtles on the way to school today. Giant turtles with bandannas a-a-and nun-chucks!”
“Right, right, Mike, just like the time you said you saw a giant monster butterfly…”
“It was trying to eat reality, Ted!”
“Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Hey Mister Dee.”
“Morning Ted, Morning Michael. Bit earlier then normal, I see…especially you, Michael…Normally you’re quite tardy…”
“Hey, you live Linearly, time has no meaning to me, Teach!”
“A lot of things don’t have meaning to you, Booster…” Ted said with a smirk
“Stop calling me that!”
They went back to arguing while Professor Dee chuckled and shook his head, looking to Hartley
“Trust me when I say, its only going to get crazier…even by these two’s standards. So, what do you have to say?”

*Chris looks around at all the Kori-like people. He holds up his hands.*
We come in peace.
Wow...that was cliche.
Well, we do.
But you couldn't think of anything more imaginative?
Like what, Billy? "Hey Kori looking people?"
We could introduce us by our codenames.
What codenames?
You know! We're going to be superheroes right? I'm Wiccan and you're...Grumpy Armor Boy?
*Chris sighs.*
Darkhawk.
Seriously?
*facepalm*

x _______________________________________________ The rest of his day had been spent casually reading, soaking in the quiet of the moments he had spent with his book. When the light began to dim, he decided to give himself a break from all of those words and go seek out some grub.
He headed to the cafeteria, grabbed a double dinner (which cost extra, but was necessary for a growing boy). Out at the table, he was immediately flagged down by another student, one he hadn't spoken to in a while and was kind of glad to see now.
"Yo," he said, settling into the seat across from her.
"Hey Casanova." There must have been a blank look on Teddy's face because she continued by explaining her statement. "I heard you made out with Billy Kaplan in front of everyone last night at the diner."
"Oh. Yeah. I did that," Teddy could feel a blush creeping up his cheeks, and she grinned.
"So, you two dating?" she asked. Teddy shrugged. "You don't know?" Shrug. "What is with all of this shrugging Theodore?" Shrug. "Oh my God use your big boy words."
"I asked him if he was, and he said he was...but I dunno. I haven't really seen or heard from him, and ...don't you usually see someone if you just started dating them? Maybe we're not together. I dunno." Teddy found himself shrugged yet again and tried to stop himself mid-way, leaving his shoulders hunched up near his ears before he dropped them in a slump.
"Maybe he's had a busy day?"
Teddy sighed and stuffed his burger into his face, taking an almost repulsively large bite before putting it back down.
"I'm kind of surprised actually. I figured that you'd go for the other big, blonde gay guy. You know, two big, blonde jocks playing tickle-me-touch hole in the locker room."
Teddy swallowed the food in his mouth before replying, "Billy is cute."
"I didn't say he wasn't. He's just little and nerdy. He does have a thing for jocks though, so a gay jock is probably his wet dream."
"How do you know that?"
"You didn't hear the soap story? Billy wandered into the boy's locker room shower or something with a sign that said 'soap' around his neck. He's like, a running gag to them. I'm surprised they haven't kicked his a** yet. But, they might lay off him a little more if you're around. They're scared of you."
"What? Why? I'm nobody to them."
"Except when you're green."
Oh. Ok, that made sense.
"They might even be relieved now because he'll stop hitting on them so hard. He's such a little flirt for a nerd. Seriously, he hits on anything male."
"Oh." Teddy's voice was soft, and she sighed, exasperated. For such a big lug, Theodore certainly did have a sensitive side.
"I'm sure he likes you for reasons other than your...maleness." Teddy shrugged again and put down his burger. Suddenly he was a little less hungry.
"Maybe that was just him being flirty then..." Teddy forced himself to take another bite of his burger, not reveling in the ketchuppy goodness as much.
"Look, he said you were his boyfriend or whatever, so I'm sure you are...but if you're really worried, just ask him when you see him again. Or gauge how he acts with you."
"I hope he is...it'd suck to have my first kiss with someone I'm not with."
"Awwww Teddy Bears...that was your first kiss?"
Teddy nodded, and she made a little cutesy face at him. "Awwww."
"OhmyGod stoppit."
She reached across the table to pinch his cheek then settled back in her seat. "Like I said Teddy, just ask him. He's kind of desperate acting, so I'm sure he'll be thrilled that you took him seriously." Teddy shot her a withering look. "I didn't mean it like that. Just relax."
With a sigh, Teddy finished his burger and began the next one. The rest of their dinner was filled with idle banter, worrying about classes, talking about the death of Wally, and anything else that popped into their heads. When they were finished eating, they went their separate ways . Teddy went back to his room and popped open the door. Immediately Teddy flopped down on his bed, pulling out a notebook. On the first page he wrote:
Billy,
Are you my boyfriend?
Yes No
- Teddy
He hadn't written it, but he could see the invisible 'maybe', and the future circle that would be wrapped around it like a hug. Teddy sighed, tore the paper out of his notebook and tossed it in the trash can. He pulled open a textbook and without a moment's hesitation, he began to work. Schoolwork was better than thinking right now.

Hartley was having a moment.
Good moment or bad moment, he wasn't sure yet. The instruments and devices that he was looking at right now resembled the things from his thoughts, dreams and nightmares so strongly that he was experiencing either deja vu or an out of body experience.
The designs were a bit different...if these followed the design template of art deco, his were more on the side of psychedelia. These were cocktails and cigarettes. His were disco.
But it was still the same idea, the concept of mastery of sound through the art of music. Suddenly, Glee Club didn't sound like such a bad idea. Maybe this was, actually, a teacher that would understand some of the thoughts going through his head.
Or maybe it was some sort of trap.
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"

The Tameranians who had approached Billy and Chris looked at each other and then at them.
" You speak oddly Wiccan and Grumpy Armor Boy. Be careful that they not hear you on New Cronus.."
He points up to the moon which has greek like buildings and temples on it. It was then Coeus, one of the Titan gods hovered in front of them.
" Fools what are doing! Get back to work!"
He looked at Chris and Wiccan.
" And you two! You are NOT from here! What brings you to this wretched place?!!!"

*Chris and Billy look at each other.*
She's your girl.
*Chris smiles wryly at Billy and steps forward.*
We're looking for someone. She went missing from our school. A blond girl, fourteen. Carries a lasso.

Coeus narrows his eyes staring at them.
" Infidels! You talk of goddess in such a way?! You are not worthy enough to even be in her presence!!! Go back from whence you came or I shall have work for you with the Sun-eater!!!"

*Chris and Billy look at each other. Billy mouths the word, "Sun Eater?" and Chris shrugs. Since the this guy invoked the goddess Chris figured he could do some name dropping.*
Listen, I don't know who you are but Cassie is the daughter of Zeus, king of the gods. He sent us here to find her. So I would appreciate it if you could tell us where she is.

Billy whispers to Chris...
"Dude, if this is like ancient times on earth, magic was pretty revered too. If things get hairy...maybe I oughta fire off a trick or two? Might make them more cooperative?"

" Zeus!!! You dare speak the name of that traitor !!!!"
Coeus spits on Chris... he then binds both Chris and Billy in chains and tosses them to work in the Sun-eater factory.
