MEGALODON THE STORY

This was the story of Heracles who turned into a giant shark under a spell sent by the sea god Poseidon. As the hero was a shark, he was about to face many dangers. People were about to capture the world's largest shark, MEGALODON. However this is Heracles who was the shark. His friends Giorgos(Γεώργιος), Petros(Πέτρος), and the other people were ready to save their friend, Heracles.

Plot

It was a nice sunny day in Athens. Heracles, the hero of the story, went to Sounion, Southern part of Athens. There he was having a good time at the beach. After swimming for some time, Heracles made a random wish. The wish was that he wished he was a giant shark which was the "MEGALODON". However, Heracles did not realize that he was like talking to the sea god Poseidon. So Poseidon appears at the horizon and said: "Well Heracles if this is what you want then so be it." The god of the sea lifted his trident in the air, then he pointed his weapon towards Heracles. A strange electric light came from the trident and struck Heracles on the chest.(This was in fact the shark curse and it would start in forty eight hours.) Then Poseidon disappeared under the waves.

The hero Heracles felt strange but he did as if nothing happened to him. He decided to return back to Athens as it was almost the end of the day. In town, Heracles did go to the supermarket and bought some fish and other sea food. For dinner Heracles ate fish raw with the scales on it. The next day, Heracles went to the beach again, but this time it was near Athens. The hero swam quite fast and went in deep waters. Heracles did not go back to the surface to breathe for about five and a half minutes. When he got out of the water, a voice talked to Heracles. Heracles saw a flying silhouette, it was Hermes the messenger god."What do you want with me?"asked Heracles. Hermes said:"I am here to send a message. The god Poseidon sent a countdown curse upon you."Heracles who was worried, asked Hermes:"What is this kind of curse, Hermes?"Hermes replied:"I saw what Poseidon did and I went to him and questioned him."The messenger god continued:" He said that the hero who is you wanted to become a giant shark, so the god sent the curse which would start tomorrow in twenty four hours."Then Hermes the god vanished. Heracles was very concerned of what would happen to him, unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.

By the following day, Heracles watched the time on the clock. He made calls to his friends in order that they could meet the hero. Heracles jumped into a taxi and was on his way to the beach of Sounion. The way was a bit long and the hero hoped to reach the place on time just before the beginning of the transformation. The three friends of Heracles went into a taxi and were on their way to Sounion. Some minutes later, Heracles finally reached the destination and paid the driver. Afterwards the hero removed his shoes and walked awkwardly on the sandy beach. After this Heracles started to walk in the sea. He kept on walking until the water reached his waist. By the time, the three people, Giorgos and Petros and Callidora reached the beach, they saw their friend who was away. Giorgos said:"Heracles is crazy. I wonder why he went that far." The three people tried to call Heracles. By the time the hero Heracles heard the voices of his three friends, he splashed into the water until he was totally submerged. The hero swam very quickly until he reached the sea which was about twenty one feet deep. By the time Heracles reached the surface, there were just eight seconds before the countdown started.

By the time the countdown was over, the transformation took place. The electrical energy surrounded the hero and Heracles grew webbed hands, and gills on the sides of his neck. The teeth of the hero Heracles grew sharp like swords. The dorsal fin which grew on his back ripped the back of the t-shirt. Heracles grew a huge crescent shaped tail. When the three people saw their friend Heracles turning into a shark they were shocked and concerned of what will happen to him. Heracles' hair and beard disappeared and was now a large shark. The clothes were torn to shreds and fell off from Heracles and sunk into the deep water. The final touch is quite stunning. Heracles/the shark doubled the size and grew until the animal was seventeen metres long(The hero Heracles was transformed into a giant and terrifying shark under a spell sent by the sea god Poseidon.)

Once the transformation was done, the giant shark, Megalodon, swam away until it reached the horizon. The Megalodon reached the open sea. Hermes the god of the messengers saw the scenery and rushed to inform Zeus about what happened to Heracles. The shark jumped out of the water and splashed into the sea. The last thing the three people saw was the crescent shaped tail and the Megalodon disappeared under the waves. Once the shark disappeared, Giorgos and Petros and Callidora just went back to the city by bus. Meanwhile the megalodon swam kilometers away from the mainland of Greece and it was almost dinner time. At dusk, the Megalodon was very hungry and the super predator was on the hunt. Megalodon saw a sperm whale which was alone in the ocean. The shark ambushed the whale and attacked it. The giant shark tore the two front fins and then the tail of the whale. Afterwards the shark left the victim to bleed to death. Some minutes later the megalodon returned and ate the dead whale carcass.

After that huge and heavy meal, the huge shark swam away. There was something that the Megalodon did not recognize. The shark's teeth and the remains of meal, dead whale, were being carried away by the water currents. The next day the remains of the sperm whale were washed on the shore of Arcadia in the south east of Greece. Some minutes later one of the Greek citizens saw the bones of the whale and the shark's giant teeth. He did pick the tooth and was shocked. He had never seen a shark tooth of that size before. So in other words he reported this info to one of the citizens who then reported this to the reporters. This was a worrying situation for Megalodon(Heracles).

Meanwhile Petros was at home and was having a great time watching his favorite movie and eating his snack. Suddenly his film was interrupted by the news. There he grew frustrated by this intruding stuff on the television. However when he heard the news about the Megalodon, his frustration evaporated quickly. He grew very concerned about the giant shark's situation which was in danger. After watching the news, Petros immediately called his friends. However Giorgos was busy and grew frustrated when he was disturbed in his work. When Giorgos heard that this was important, he made the exception and left his job earlier than usual.

Without losing time, the three people met up and were discussing about the situation. Petros said that he saw the news and talked about the tooth of Megalodon. The people were shocked when they heard what is really happening. They realized that their friend was in danger and they had to do something. They called their other friends in order to make a plan. The other people are Erica, Andreas, Achilleas. However the bunch was not alone. The gods of Olympus were aware of the situation. Hephaestus was sent to help the bunch in their quest. He greatly helped them in the construction. With the help of the god Hephaestus(Ήφαιστος), the people worked on the construction of a submarine and giant shark cage.

Three days later, once the shark cage and submarine were done, Hephaestus teleported the objects and the people to the nearby shore where Heracles was transformed into the monster. The god gave the people two motor boats. This will help them reach the location where the Megalodon was. Hephaestus wished them Good Luck in their tough mission. Once Hephaestus disappeared, the people begun their mission. They went far from the coast until they reached the open sea in the Aegean. The compass on both of the ships told them where the giant shark was previously. As they reached the site, they stopped. Petros went in the submarine and he went in the deep sea. Giorgos went inside the shark cage. Andreas held the rope and chain of the crane which was holding the fish bait.

Megalodon jumped out of the water and grabbed the bait. With a bite force of 20 tons, the chain, which was attached to the bait, failed. Under the waves, Megalodon ate the fish bait and spitted the chain. After gulping the bait, the shark spotted bright colours in the water. He swam fast in order to investigate where the colours come from. Meanwhile Erica called upon her powerful father, Poseidon. The sea god appeared before his daughter and Erica's friends were shocked. 'Hello Erica, my daughter. How can I help you,' asked Poseidon.

Megalodon struck the submarine, thinking it was food. Petros who was scared tried to go away from the Megalodon. However the giant shark was very relentless and continued to chase the object. Megalodon ripped the back flipper of the submarine. Once Petros had the idea of how to drive the giant shark he immediately informed the other member of the crew. Petros said: 'Giorgos, I finally know what is Megalodon's weakness.' 'That's GREAT,' Giorgos replied in a excited way. 'So what is it Petros? I am impatient to know the ingredient.' 'The shark does not like sperm whales' sonar radar, 'said Petros. Megalodon tried to escape those radar sounds but the submarine along with the ships pursued him. The Megalodon was driven to a nearby island known as Milos. Once the shark could not escape, Poseidon used his trident, took the monster out and put it on the beach. Megalodon was struggling to survive however his huge body weight was adding pressure upon himself. Poseidon took his trident, and changed the effects of the transformation. 'There that will be all,' said Poseidon. 'Now I must go back to my sea palace, Good bye Erica.' The Megalodon fell on the flat beach and stopped moving. Heracles' friends thought that he was dead, however he was just unconscious.

A pillar of light appeared from heaven and the unconscious Megalodon was lifted in the air. Lightning struck and the sky was cloaked with black clouds.

Heracles, Giorgos, Callidora, Petros, Andreas, Achilleas and Erica were on the beach of Sounion and they were admiring the beautiful sunset. This was how the story ended.
