Chapter 1- The Danger

One day, Sleek and Slak were exploring the Sanctuary of Mexico. But then, the two friends were kidnapped by an anonymous butterfly.

"WHO ARE YOU?" Slak screamed. "LET US GO!!" "No," said the anonymous butterfly calmly. "No." He took them from Mexico to Buffalo, New York.

Then he flew away, leaving Slak and Sleek at the sidewalk. "Look," said Sleek. "He dropped his wallet." The wallet said the kidnapper's name was Spleek. "He sounds like us," said Slak. Then they heard a man say something. He said to another person, "Ever heard of Niagara Falls?"

Spleek

Second Street 64730

(234)-134-153

"No, I haven't," said the other person. "And neither have I," said Sleek. "Let's go to Niagara Falls, Slak." "Are you sure?" Slak asked. "What if this is just a scam caused by Spleek?" "I doubt it," Sleek answered.

Chapter 2- The Falls

But just then, huge birds came out of the sky. "Fly!" screamed Sleek, his eyes wide in shock. The two monarchs flew for dear life until they came across what seemed like a group of waterfalls altogether. Then, they saw a boat in the water. They heard people talking and laughing. "Is this some sort of cruise?" Slak asked. "I think so," answered Sleek.

Chapter 3- The Cruise

"Well, let's get on!" Sleek said excitedly. "Uh oh," Slak said. "What's wrong?" Sleek questioned. "It's just.....," Slak mumbled. "I'm a little seasick."

Then, some guy came out of the waters. He carried a trident and controlled the waves. "I must fulfill my brother's task," he murmured. "My name is Poseidon. I am the creator of waterfalls, so I can get you to the boat."

Chapter 4- The God

Poseidon stretched his trident and the butterflies saw a leaf floating in the air. "That shall be your key to the Maid of the Mist," he said. "However, if you stay on it too long, it will break and you will fall."

"Thanks, Poseidon," the two said. Then they hopped aboard just in time to see Poseidon disappear into the sea. They saw little sticks on the leaf for paddles. "Let's do this," said Sleek. "Uh huh," Slak mumbled. Then they grabbed the sticks and sailed.

Chapter 5- The Sails

They sailed as hard and as frequently as possible, struggling to keep themselves on board. They sailed and sailed until the "boat" was about to sink and they were super close to the Maid of the Mist.

Then, they were on the boat. It was the most beautiful thing ever. (Slak wasn't seasick anymore.)

Then they saw a woman. She had long hair and a humongous group of other women. "My name is Artemis," she said. "I must fulfill my uncle's task." Then she motioned for them to follow and they went to another room. 

INSIDE WAS SPLEEK!
AND HE WAS ON VACATION!

Spleek's Perspective

Ah, yes. Being on this boat was great. Thanks, Eros. I sipped more of the ice-cold lemonade. Perfect. Just the right amount of ice, and the right amount of lemonade.

I should thank the wine dude, too. And Splak.

I had gone back and captured the other butterflies who had approached when I tied up Splak and trapped them in the Arboretum. There were four. Then, wine dude did the rest.

Ahhh. Just living the life. Hm?

I could see from my window, two butterflies paddling on a leaf. What a dumb idea. Who told them to do that, Poseidon? Ha.

I closed my eyes for a few minutes until I heard footsteps, and the flapping of wings.

Then I saw the butterflies. The two I tried to prevent from coming back. To protect from Hades.

Looks like I would have to do this the hard way, then.

That black butterfly guy? So. Annoying. Like, seriously. I'm not even joking. He is so annoying. He pollutes our waters so much by throwing things out his window, such as ropes, lemonade bottles, and who knows what else. Even his PJs! So. Annoying.

Chapter 6- The Reunion

Summary: Throwing things. Yelling. Silver arrows. You know, the usual stuff.

"Guys stop!" Spleek shouted. "I wasn't trying to kidnap you! I was trying to-" "Kill us?" Slak chimed in. "Or hurt us?"

"No!" he said. He reached to a bookshelf that Sleek had never noticed. He began to take out a scroll, but then the butterflies realized they had time to escape. So they ran to the cannons, hopped in, and exploded themselves to somewhere. They heard Spleek's frantic cries as they went to somewhere. They began to fly over the waterfalls.

Then a silver arrow appeared. "It's from Artemis," Sleek said. "How do you know?" Slak asked. "Because it says 'FrOm ArTeMiS'", he answered. "In really bad handwriting." "Indeed," said Spleek, grinning.

"Spleek!" screamed Slak, who didn't want to get kidnapped anymore. "RUNNN!" Spleek sputtered, "I've come to apolog-" "Apollonate?" Sleek said. "The fake word of blasting us to bits?"

Then the butterflies hopped aboard the silver arrow and it took them to a spot called Saint Louis, Missouri.

Then they saw half a McDonalds sign, and a scroll. They decided to read it.

Dear butterflies (Besides Spleek),

Head to Missouri and cross to the tallest building. I'm there.

Sincerely

Apollo

Instead of heading to the tallest building, they headed to the shortest building. Apollo was there. They realized no matter what building they went to, they would see Apollo. (The building wasn't even a building- it was a two foot rock.)

Apollo said, "Head to the Botanical Gardens." Then he disappeared.

"Seriously!!" Sleek screamed. "He could have told us that in the scroll!"

They decided not to risk being apollonated, so they flew to the Botanical Gardens. There they saw beautiful flowers and trees, but also something else: another monarch, clearly on its way back to the Sanctuary of Mexico. 

She was tied in ropes and not speaking, Sleek realized, until he saw the gag in her mouth. They flew toward her and untied her ropes. "What's your name?" asked Slak, curiously. "Splak," she answered. "I was kidnapped by Spleek." "We were too!" the other two butterflies said. "We're trying to get back to the-" "Sanctuary of Mexico," Splak finished.

Talk Scene

Splak- Spleek said he was working for Dionysus!

Sleek- Dionysus is the wine dude!

Slak- I'm hungry!

Chapter 7- The Race

Splak said her story. IT WAS TRAGIC. Terrible. She was kidnapped by Spleek afterwards. She was on a car. It was a narrow path. Then she was kidnapped. she was ultra scared. She scared him with markers. Wasn't that scary. Spleek was a creepster. He was a rude monarch. Evil. Han had a solo. AnOnYmOuS, he said his name was. Spleek was robotic. 

Chapter 8- The Creepster

Slak then whispered, "I would like a lollipop, Spleek." "Spleek?" asked Sleek. "Look behind you," said a familiar voice. Sleek turned around just in time to see Spleek. They flew as fast as they could with Splak right behind them. Spleek screamed something, but it came out like, "Zen bis thy heal mame!"

The butterflies (not including Spleek) flew all the way down to a spot near northern Texas. "Dallas," Splak said. She hadn't been talking very much, but they still enjoyed having her around. Then Slak said something that made even Splak laugh: "Can I have a lollipop?"

Chapter 9- The Upside Down

Splak then said, "This is where the race was! Maybe I can find my car here." They looked around until they found a racetrack. 

They found a silver car and hopped inside. It was Splak's! She pressed a button and a portal appeared. It took them to the Arboretum. But upside down.

Then they saw a home. They heard cries and saw a butterfly trapped inside. No. Not one. Two. Not two. THREE. Not three. FOUR!! They rammed into the house. The butterflies were freed!

Then the world wasn't upside down anymore. It turned to normal and they could see the beauty in the Arboretum. It was amazing, so it looked- well, amazing. Then one of the monarchs introduced themselves as Spook. 

Chapter 10- The Squadron

Slak then said, "How long were you stuck? When were you first trapped?"

"Three days ago," he answered. "By a black monarch named Spleek."

"Spook, who are the other monarchs kidnapped with you?" Sleek asked.

"Brothers," he said. "Splook. Sluck. Spluck." They raised their hands whenever he called their names.

Then Sleek realized that they hadn't introduced themselves. "I'm Sleek. He's Slak, and she's Splak." He waved his wing toward his monarch friends. "We were kidnapped by Spleek, too."

A rumbling shook the earth. The sky went dark.

"Uh, guys?" Splak said. "It's a weird-looking guy with a lightning bolt. Was he invited to this party?" Sleek threw himself around for his eyes to meet the stormy-gray eyes of Zeus.

Chapter 11- The Olympians

He held a lightning bolt in each hand, and was wearing full battle armor, so it looked like he came from a war. He stared at them for a moment, and his piercing eyes cut through their wings like a laser.

Then the seven said, "Zeus." Sleek closed his eyes, wondering if it was a dream. Maybe he would wake up tomorrow still at the Sanctuary. He opened his eyes, and all the other gods appeared beside him. All twelve Olympians, looking at seven butterflies who wished to annihilate Spleek. 

Hera said, "That Slak one is quite interesting."

Then Aphrodite said, "I sense something coming from that Slak. Maybe love?" She thought hard. However, Sleek was smart and he knew she was the goddess of love so it was OF COURSE love. He wondered why Slak felt love. Well, he'd ask later. Right now he was dealing with gods, so maybe later. Slak...maybe Splak? Possibly.
