Dear Journal, I'm Marvin Cowbell.

It's been a long day, and it's not over yet.

We had to battle zombies, mummies, gods, goddesses, and many mythical creatures and this is just America.

We still have to deal with many other places, or so we thought.

But, before I get to that, let me tell you a little story about me.

I'm a boy that loves comics, which is how I became friends with Kaima. I've been drawing since I was six, I live with my dad, but he and I don't talk that much.

My dad is what you call a strict dad, he likes things going his way, and right now he's in Great Britain for a convention, I'm not sure what kind of convention.

My mother died of an unknown disease, which just couldn't be cured, I don't remember that much stuff about her; and my dad won't tell me.

I know this isn't a long backstory, but there's not much to tell, I have no siblings and I live in an average house. That's it.

The story starts with Kaima walking in a room, where the phone is ringing, it's the house phone.

Ben answers it, it's a call from the mayor.

Ben passes the call to Dr. Liama, Dr. Liama takes the phone to her lab.

Ben walks to Kaima, who's on the floor with her face to the floor.

"Kaima, are you alive?" Ben asks.

"I am", muffled Kaima.

"Can you lift your head, so I can kiss you?" asked Ben.

Kaima immediately bounces up, and she kisses Ben on the lips.

"That's better", Kaima smiled.

"It's been five hours, and you've only taken five breaks for only five seconds; are you sure you can handle this?" Ben asks Kaima, holding her in his arms, while sitting down.

"She won't need to, I did some calculations, we will be able to help everybody in the world at once", Annabelle revealed.

This shocks Kaima and Ben.

"How?" asked Kaima.

"Have you heard of the legend of the magic keeper?" Annabelle asked them.

In-between the guesses, Marvin comes in the room with bags under his eyes, and says "I went through ten monsters that could do nothing, but put mortals to sleep, so I had to keep using a shield; so it wouldn't strongly affect me".

"Poor Marvin, well you won't have to worry about that", said Kaima, hugging him.

"Thanks; where's Kina and Jasmine?" Marvin hugs back.

Kina knocks the door down, with Jasmine on her back.

"We're back!" groaned Kina.

"Yo!" exclaimed Jasmine.

"Gather around my friends, let me explain a legend that will put a stop to our monster problem. It starts with five keys, each one more dangerous than the last; and it can only be found at 'Deadman's ruins', The creepiest most abandoned place in this timeline", Annabelle tells her friends.

Kaima searches through the web, and finds the place; she sets up the location to her teleportation app.

The beam connects to all of them, and takes them away.

The friends end up in a desert that has giant pillars buried in it, looking like the wrecked version of Mount Olympus.

"So, this is it", said Kaima.

"I expected our troubles to last all day, but it can be solved this easy", Marvin pointed out.

"Marvin, anything can be solved, by looking on the internet", Jasmine smirked.

"Or by reading a book, you know how old-fashioned I am", Annabelle replies, while wearing a Sherlock Holmes outfit with a bubble blower pipe.

"Kaima, can you sense the items?" asked Marvin, behind Annabelle.

Kaima's eyes glow, points to the pillars, and says "Over there".

"Annabelle, how do we make the objects appear?" asked Jasmine.

"Kina, you still have that amulet, if so can you...move...those...pillars", Annabelle requested, as Kina moved the pillars.

The wind blows, removing some sand, Annabelle walks to where the pillars once was, and finds a disk.

The disk ends in Kina's hand, the disk turns into wings attached to it.

A gem, rope, and a headband comes.

The gem gives Marvin a suit of armor, and metal stars attached to it on his left and right.

The rope wraps around Annabelle, the magic changes her outfit into a black dress that's also frilly, making her seem like a Victoria doll.

The headband lands on Jasmine's head, her outfit changes to a white ballerina outfit with white wings.

For Kaima, a giant flower surrounds her, changing her outfit to a wedding dress, a rose in her hair, viel, and white heels.

"Guys, I think we turned into anime characters", said Jasmine.

"Seriously Jasmine!" shouted Kaima, Kina, Marvin and Annabelle.

"I couldn't help, but make a reference, besides we did go through a magical girl/boy transformation sequence", said Jasmine.

"True, but just like anime characters we are dealing with powerful magic, which will probably have consequences", replied Marvin.

Marvin looks at Annabelle, who's feeling the wind against her hair, and looking at her notes from her phone.

"The time has come, let's go", Annabelle announced.

"Do we have to go dressed like this?" asked Kaima, embarrassed.

"Kaima, we all looked odd, so you won't have anything to worry about", Annabelle reassures Kaima.

"That is true, I look like a knight", said Marvin.

"I look like a knight", said Marvin.

"I look like one of those ballerinas that are in the old music boxes, that you play to children and toddlers", Jasmine acknowledged.

"I look like a doll", said Annabelle.

"I look like…" said Kina, but doesn't get to finish her sentence.

In-between Kina's sentences, a bolt of lightning hit the sand spreading it over them, after that a wave of water comes and following it is fire.

"What is this?" asked Jasmine.

"The great gods: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades", complained Marvin.

"Seriously! Gods too?" Kaima says with less enthusiasm.

A strong wind comes, and a voice says "Who dares touch the magic keeper's elements?" 

"We do", said Annabelle, confidently 

"And Who might you be?" asked Poseidon.

"Mortals", said Kina.

"Lies! Four of you are mortals, but one of you is something different", Zeus stated, referring to Kaima.

"That would be", Kaima walked up to the big cloud.

"What kind of creature, are you?" asked Hades, looking at Kaima.

"I'm half mortal, half mutant", Kaima saus, as she senses trouble.

"Well, whoever you are, you must come with us", said Zeus.

"Huh?" asked Kaima, as she was being lifted.

"Kaima!" gasped Kaima's friends, trying to get her, but they get blown away.

"Girls and Marvin!" Kaima called, but she was already above the clouds.

Above the clouds, Kaima sees a blue-haired man wearing a blue suit and black shoes sitting on a cloud like a bean bag chair.

The other men are sitting on clouds too.

There's a red-haired man wearing a red suit and black shoes. His name is Hades.

The blue-haired man who has a white suit, and black shoes.

It appears the wind was what was lifting Kaima up.

"So, this is the destroyer of monsters", Hades smiles. "Hmmm…"

"What?" asked Kaima, confused.

"The monsters were conjured by a mortal, if I am aware?" asked Poseidon, looking at Zeus.

"Indeed", said Zeus.

"Ummm… Excuse me", said Kaima.

Zeus, Hades and Posidon look at Kaima.

"Why am I here?" wondered Kaima..

"My niece wishes to speak with you", Posidon tells Kaima, with his hand out.

Kaima takes his hand, the clouds move towards a floating shrine, where a woman with long black hair, pink skin, wearing a sparkly blue dress, gloves, and blue heels.

This woman looks at Kaima, as she is meditating and smiles at Kaima.

Her name is Moonshine.

Kaima lands by the middle of the shrine, the shrine is pretty open up like Mount Olympus, which is how you can see Moonshine meditating.

"My name is Moonshine, I'm Artemis daughter", said Moonshine.

"The goddess of the moon, hunt, and animals? No way!" Kaima smiled with excitement.

"Yup, that's my mom, she asked me personally to find you. You're Kaima Amadell, right?" Moonshine tells Kaima.

"Artemis, knows me?" asked Kaima.

"Indeed", said Moonshine, and touched Kaima's hand with her own. "I'll take you to her".

"Wait! Could you at least my friends, they'll be worried", Kaima asks the gods.

"Of course, right?" answered Moonshine, then looked at Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.

"Fine, we'll go", Hades decided, then jumped off the cloud.

"Wait!" called Zeus.

"Let's go, take care, Moonshine", said Posidon.

"I will, uncle", said Moonshine, with a smile.

Zeus, Hades, and Posidon head down to where Kaima's friends are.

"I hear something l, everybody back up", said Annabelle.

So, everybody backs up, after that they see Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon.

"The great gods of Olympus", Marvin pointed out.

"We are here to assure that friend: Kaima is safe and sound", Poseidon reassures everybody.

"Where is she?" asked Ben.

"Ah! A new mortal, your friend is with my niece: Moonshine, daughter of Artemis", Poseidon tells Ben. "When did you arrive?"

"Five minutes ago, Annabelle beamed me here", answered Ben.

"Ah! For mortals to come up with such advance technology, it's a miracle", Hades insulted mortals.

"I'm not the one who invented these and frankly, I'm offended", said Jasmine. 

"My deepest apology, my brother is rather rude, we come to ask for your help", Zeus apologizes.

"Our help?" questioned Annabelle.

"Yes, our world is mixing with your world in tact", explained Zeus.

"We'll have to help later, we need to fix our world first, which is why we are holding these artifacts", Kina denies Zeus' request.

"The monsters? Of course, well you can do that right here with a snap of your finger", Hades says with a sly smile.

"Yeah right, you're saying that these monsters can be dealt with the snap of your fingers", Jasmine disbelieves, then snapped her fingers.

Soon, they feel a shake, which is followed by all of them glowing, sending a beam of light over the Earth, Kaima is glowing too.

The beam of light hits Africa, Asia, Australia, but Europe, North and South America along with Antarctica are still affected.

Hades senses the absence of power, and says "Not strong enough".

Hades looks at Ben, who's absent from the group, so she tells his brothers to lend some powers to Ben.

So, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus lend their powers to Ben taking the form of a badge, which gives him knight armor, a sword and ring.

Ben starting to glow too, helps create a glowing circle that flies all around the world in thirty seconds, turning everything back to normal.

The circle returns to Ben as his ring, and everybody stops glowing.

"Now, for that little favor, we asked for", Zeus smiled.

Kina frowns.

Up above the clouds, Kaima and Moonshine stand on the middle of the floor.

"In order to get where Artemis is, we need to make a pact", said Moonshine, still holding Kaima's hand.

"You mean with a kiss?" Kaima guessed, not able to move.

"Unfortunately, if you don't do this, all the Gods will cause your destruction on your world", Moonshine warns Kaima, with her head down.

Kaima looks at how serious Moonshine is, and says "Fine, when will I return?"

"In two years in mortal time", Moonshine answers.

"Two years?" asked Kaima. "But I can't be gone that long, what about my friends and family?" 

"I'm sorry, but we can't bring them along. Please", said Moonshine.

Kaima kisses Moonshine, which opens the contract, that's a portal, and it sucks them in.

Kaima looks down at her friends and says "Goodbye".

After the portal disappears, Kaima's friends and Ben sense something's wrong.

"Where is Kaima? Where's the exact place she is going?" asked Annabelle.

"To Artemis and it will take two years to return", said Posidon.

"Two years?!" replied Jasmine.

"I don't want… please take us where she is?" Marvin asked.

"Their pact has already been made, and no God can break it, not even I", Zeus tells them.

"Why? Why? Kaima!" cried Kina, breaking down.

"This can't be", Annabelle joins Kkna.

The others cry as well, including Ben.

"She's your beloved isn't she?" Hades guessed.

"We're only dating", said Ben.

"Yet, your heart feels like the heart of somebody who got betrothed", Aphrodite acknowledged.

Aphrodite has long brown hair, wearing a white dress and white heels.

"Aphrodite", said Ben.

"The one and only", smiled Aphrodite, holding flowers.

"Aphrodite, you're supposed to be with Artemis", said Zeus.

"Sorry, but I can't ignore these broken hearts", said Aphrodite, then looked at Ben. "Especially him".

"You love her, I feel your heart, and I want to assure you; that your beloved is okay", Aphrodite says with a sweet voice, then gives him a kiss on the forehead.

"You are the only one", Aphrodite winks at him, and then disappears.

"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Ben, confused and tears still coming down his cheek.

Kina stomps in the sand, spreading it around, and says "Stop! We have to stop".

"But, Kina", said Jasmine.

"Kaima isn't gone forever, it's just two years. You think Kaima wants this. No, she wants us to tell her family and the agents", Kina tells her friends, trying to hold back her tears.

"She's right, but before we do", Jasmine agreed, then looked at Zeus. "What kind of technology do you need?" 

Zeus opens a portal in the sand, which takes them all away.

The portal takes Annabelle, Marvin, Jasmine, Ben, and Kina to see a town that has many Gods and Goddesses using their skills that have cottages behind them, looking like family having fun.

"This place is beautiful, why do you need our technology, it ruins the beauty. I meant it would ruin the beauty of this place", Jasmine believed, taking pictures.

A 16-year-old who has brown braided hair, wearing a white dress, but no shoes instead sandals named Athena.

"Hello, visitors, how may I help you", Athena greeted them.

"They are the humans of the timeline", said Hades.

"Pardon me, but we have names", said Annabelle, holding her umbrella.

"Sorry, what are they?" Hades replied with a sly smile.

Annabelle swings her umbrella, and says "It's Annabelle!"

Hades knocked to the ground.

Athena laughed along with her family.

"That hurt", said Hades.

'I actually knocked him down, but how?' thought Annabelle.

"It's true, your powers make you stronger than Gods", Athena tells them.

Annabelle gives Hades an evil smile, and says "Really?"

"Easy, we're here to help them, not destroy them", said Kina.

"Marvin's already starting. Look!" Jasmine pointed out.

Marvin with a golden aura around him, jumps from roof to roof making satellites appear on the cottages.

"That won't hold well, I'll fix that", said Jasmine, with a glowing hand.

Jasmine uses her glowing hand to change the cottage to a modern house.

"We can't have a satellite without TV, Kina can you open the door", Annabelle analyzed.

Kina stomps her foot, which forces all doors of new houses that got changed by Jasmine, after Marvin put a satellite on the roof; and Annabelle uses her umbrella making a TV on a table appear in the house.

All of the friends use their powers turning the whole town to a modern place, and Jasmine added yards along with cars, a road, and sidewalks.

"Women follow me to the grand house", Jasmine tells them.

"Men use these", said Marvin, making tablets appear.

Marvin points to an app that shows clothes and tells them to click; this app would pick any type of clothes from the 2000s to now.

Jasmine helps the woman pick out their clothes and teach them what they should know about the modern world.

This fascinated the Goddesses .

Marvin fascinated the gods even Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.

"Well, see ya", Jasmine waved goodbye.

"Wait! Do you have to leave?" asked Herita.

"Afraid so, we left our world a mess", said Jasmine.

"And I'm tired", said Ben.

"Thanks for being my model", said Jasmine, referring to Ben.

"Thank you for your assistance", Zeus thanked them.

"Your Welcome", Annabelle smiled.

"What a miracle", said Ben.

"I barely see Annabelle smile", said Kina.

"You're one to talk", said Jasmine.

Marvin slides the tablet and has a teleportation app, and they open a teleportation app, and they get teleported to a museum, where they see Mina, Lily, Rose, and Steve in front of it.
