It was a peaceful day and where Atticus, Patch, Mo, and Cherry were outside, having a picnic.
"You know what, Cherry? It's been quite a while sense we've seen Hercules." Atticus said.
"Yeah... It has..." Cherry said as she leaned forward to take another turkey and Swiss cheese with bacon sandwich and bit into it.
"That adventure always sounds like a dream the more I hear it." Mo commented as she ate another grape.
"Yeah, I sure wish we could go there." Patch added as he ate a grape.
Their medallions and Patch's medallion/pound puppy tag started to glow and a portal appeared, showing Ancient Greece.
"Be careful what you wish for..." Mo chuckled.
"Well... Looks like we found a way to go..." Cherry was surprised. "Should we go now?"
"Might as well." Atticus shrugged.
"Oh, boy, are Hercules and the others going to be surprised with how much stronger you've become now thanks to Drell." Patch smiled.
"Come on then..." Mo said as she packed up their picnic in James's basket with the blanket. "Should we dress for the occasion?"
"We might be fine," Cherry replied. "When Atticus and I got sent there somehow, we already had the right clothes, so we might be able to blend in, no problem."
Atticus, Mo, and Cherry's medallions glowed once more and their clothes changed so then they would blend in. After the picnic basket was packed up, they went through the portal and the portal closed behind them.
Not much changed about Patch since he was a dog and did not wear clothes, but they were all suddenly in Ancient Greece.
"So... This is Greece..." Mo said as she walked out first, looking all around.
"Yep, this is Greece." Atticus smiled as he walked out next.
"So, where do you think Hercules and his mate live?" Patch asked as he walked out after his owner.
"I'm sure someone knows something..." Cherry said as she looked around once she came out.
A familiar man was carrying a vase to a rather large house where there was a woman inside, sweeping at the front porch.
"Excuse me, sir?" Cherry spoke up.
"Yes, can I help you four?" The man asked.
"Yes, could you tell us where Hercules and Meg live now?" Atticus asked.
"Oh, that's easy, they live together in that big house now that they're married." The man told them, pointing to a house that looked big enough for possibly a family.
"Thanks." Cherry, Atticus, and Mo thanked.
"No problem." the man smiled before continuing on.
"Guess they got married after all..." Cherry said simply.
"Yeah." Atticus smiled.
"I wonder what their kids will be like." Patch whispered.
"If they have any." Mo shrugged.
They went up to the biggest house in the back and climbed up to meet Hercules and Megara, though known as Meg to her friends, since she has some now.
"You don't think that Hades guy will come back, do ya?" Patch asked, remembering the story.
"Oh, please, the only way he'd come back is if he were to be spit out of that river." Atticus scoffed.
Mo shrugged. "Ya never know..."
"You can only enter the River Styx, you can never leave." Cherry reassured.
The four came up to the large front doors, they were in awe, but of course, they knocked on the door before entering. There appeared to be a horse's stable in the backyard. The door was opened by a familiar strong figure.
Cherry and Atticus stood closer to the door. "Hercules?" they asked.
"Atticus! Cherry!" The demigod smiled as he hugged them both after not seeing them for such a long time. "What are you two doing here? Oh, and I see that you brought company."
"Funny story, we just dropped in." Cherry inside joked.
"Yeah, and it's because of our Equestrian medallions and my puppy Patch's medallion/dog tag," Atticus said. "Which reminds me, Hecules, this is Mo and this is my puppy, Patch."
"Hi." Mo waved.
Patch gave a warm nod and smile.
"So, what's been going on with you two, besides making new friends?" Hercules asked.
Patch began to use his cute mode on Atticus as a sign of begging him to show Hercules how strong the boy was now.
Atticus rolled his eyes slightly at that. "Well, I've gotten stronger since you last saw me."
"My father told me he gave you strength as a sign of thanks for letting me come back to Olympus, though for visits now since Meg wouldn't be with me." Hercules replied.
"Well, yeah, there was that, but I'm stronger than that, Drell's been coaching me." Atticus explained.
"Well, then, let's see how strong you have become." Hercules said.
"Like in arm wrestling? Oops." Patch said once he realized what he just did.
"Is this dangerous?" Mo asked.
"You can never tell with Atticus..." Cherry shrugged with one arm.
Atticus and Hercules then went over to a table, ready to arm wrestle. Cherry, Mo, and Patch followed and looked around the sights that Hercules and Meg had in their home. The moment they started, Hercules was surprised as Atticus was able to overpower him.
"That's impossible!" Hercules gasped. "This Drell person must be very strong."
"He's Head of the Witches Council and works out all the time he's not filling out papers." Atticus chuckled as he was able to have a better challenge at beating someone in such a physical feat.
"Good to know." Hercules said.
"And he gave me this as a weapon and so then I can keep up with my strength." Atticus said as he brought out the orb that he shrank down.
"What's that?" Hercules wondered.
"It's an orb I shrunk and it weighs the same as whole planet." Atticus told Hercules before handing it to him to prove it.
"What does it do?" Hercules asked once he took a look at the orb.
Atticus then pressed the red button on the shrunken orb as it now activated its weight and caused for Hercules to fall to the ground.
"Whoa!"
"Oh, my gosh!" Atticus got worried. "You okay, Herc?"
"This thing is heavier than it looks." Hercules said while grunting as he tried to lift it up.
"Here, let me get that for you." Atticus pushed the orb's button and brought it back down to a small shape. "Sorry, I guess I forgot about how much heavier it would be for you."
"Whew, thanks for removing that." Hercules sighed.
"No problem, big guy." Atticus said, patting him on the back.
Hercules chuckled to that.
"Well..." a female voice said, making everyone looked to see the lady of the house. "This sure is a pleasant surprise."
"Hey, Meg!" Atticus smiled.
"Hi." Cherry added.
"Hello, ma'am." Mo smiled with a curtsy.
Patch smiled and bowed to Meg as a sign of greetings.
"Oh, you don't need to be formal with me, I was never really into that stuff," Meg shrugged. "I don't remember seeing you guys before."
"This is my puppy Patch and my girlfriend Mo." Atticus introduced.
"Girlfriend, huh?" Meg hid a smirk at that.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend." Atticus repeated.
"When did you get a girlfriend?" Meg asked with a smirk.
"Um, we've known each other a good while now..." Mo smiled innocently. "We first met around Fourth of July though when I was with my puppy and our friends."
"Friends?" Meg asked, though curiously.
"Well, I used to live on the streets," Mo explained. "Angel and I had foster family issues, so we just ran away and lived in the Junkyard with Buster, Ruby, Mooch, Scratchy, Scruffy, Francois, and Otis."
"Yeah, but Buster then started to act like a jerk." Atticus added.
"He was always like that..." Mo folded her arms. "He always kept trying to make Angel his girl, I don't think he liked me too much since I was a human..."
"Yeah, anyways, the way we met was while I was staying with Cherry and her aunt and uncle and their son, Junior." Atticus told the brown-haired woman.
"I see..." Meg studied. "Sounds like you had your own little puppy love in that adventure."
The term of puppy love made Atticus and Mo blush to each other.
Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Patch began to tell them all of the adventures the four had been on, especially how Atticus met and adopted Patch. Hercules and Meg smiled and were excited to hear of the adventures and each sounded even better than the last.
While that was going on, in the underworld, something was happening in the river of Styx which was causing two familiar demons become nervous.
"Oh, man, I told you he was gonna get out of there!" Panic whimpered out of fear.
"What?! N,o you said if he gets out of there!" Pain exclaimed out of fear.
Their fears were realized as soon as they saw the Lord of the Dead burst out of the river of Styx. The two demons held each other and shivered.
"I'm back, baby!" Hades laughed once he got out of the river.
"B-B-B-Boss, we're so glad you're back." Pain smiled nervously.
"Yeah, we'd clean up, but we know how you like it dingy around here!" Panic chuckled nervously as well. "You look well..."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, time to get my revenge on my nephew and I think I might need to call upon my adoptive nephew." Hades smiled evilly.
"Oh, no, Boss, please don't tell us that you're going to be sending him." Panic begged, already knowing who the Lord of the Dead was thinking of.
"You bet I am..." Hades grinned darkly.
"Oh, gee, look at the time, we better get going!" Pain sounded more nervous.
"You two aren't going anywhere!" Hades glared as he grabbed the two demons tails and started to bring them along with him to where he was going.
"Pain, I'm scared." Panic shuddered to his demon partner.
"I'm more scared..." Pain looked like he was quite literally scared to death.
